MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 38
"Why do you want to grasp the secret work?" Long Da asked her.
The words "to win" were on the lips, but An Ruochen realized it. "Stop the war." She said: "My life, my sister's life, all come after this matter, after the war disaster of the Great Xiao, and the peace of the people of Pingnan County."
"So I murdered you, murdered your fourth sister?"
"Of course not." An Ruochen stared.
"So matchmaker Xu's death and old man Chen's death were caused by you?"
An Ruochen's face flushed red. "I know I was wrong. I didn't think that way at first, but I was sad and talked nonsense for a while..."
"Still sophistry? If you are wrong, you are wrong. What is the reason? Is this an attitude of admitting mistakes?"
An Ruochen was very ashamed, and lowered his head: "I really know I was wrong, please punish the general." The general claimed to be strict, but it was true.
"Okay. Then I will punish you for copying "The New Biography of General Dragon" twice." Long Da's face remained serious and serious.
"Yes." An Ruochen was bewildered by Long Da's expression and tone, and answered without any precautions. After Ying finished, he was taken aback for a moment, and carefully looked at Long Da's expression, General, are you kidding again? It looks serious. An Ruochen pursed her lips, copied as she went, nodded her head a little angrily, and answered "yes" again.
Long laughed loudly, this smile melted the ice, warmed An Ruochen's heart, felt that Long Da's voice seemed much softer, he said: "It's good to be so energetic."
After speaking, the general left, leaving An Ruochen to meditate in the room by himself. Aftertaste, aftertaste, wait, what did you say just now, new biography? Not biographies? Where did "The New Legend of General Dragon" come from?
The general is playing tricks again, this is really unsteady. An Ruochen bit her lip. Taking a sigh of relief, she began to grind ink after she was full, and wrote as soon as she wrote. She wanted to write a "New Biography of General Dragon" that was more interesting than "Biography of General Dragon".
It was a busy night, and when she was exhausted and fell asleep on the bed, An Ruochen realized that she had been thinking about the new story all night, and had no time to be sad. The general is actually a careful and considerate person, although he is a bit stricter. She must not disappoint him, she must be a character that satisfies the general.
On the second day, An Ruochen was no longer depressed. She went to the old nanny's grave and kowtowed for the old nanny. Wipe away the tears and lift up your spirits, all grief is strength. She swore that she must seek justice for the old nannie.
Back at Ziyun Building, An Ruochen replied to An Ruoxi's post, agreeing to her visit, and the time was set for tomorrow. At this time, the spies reported back a message that there was movement on Li Xiuer's side, and she went to Zhaofu Restaurant.
In the Zhaofu restaurant, Zhao Jiahua looked unhappy, and said to Li Xiu'er in a low voice in a wing room in the backyard: "Didn't it be agreed that you don't want to come to me, and if you have something to do, send Dun'er a message, and I will go to see you. You If you come here like that, you will reveal your secrets."
Li Xiu'er was very flustered: "An Ruochen went to my natal family yesterday and asked a lot of questions."
Zhao Jiahua frowned: "What did you ask?"
Li Xiuer told Zhao Jiahua everything that her adopted sister Zhu Er had said earlier.
After hearing this, Zhao Jiahua reprimanded: "What's the matter? Didn't you explain everything about Zhu Er's answer? Just follow other people's questions and answer truthfully. We also agreed on the origin of your money, it's all you In my spare time, I do embroidery work and quietly go out and sell it to supplement the family income. Didn’t Mrs. Mo in the embroidery workshop also take care of it? There is no loophole here, even if it is an official, you can’t punish someone without evidence. Besides, , what else can they say about you besides subsidizing the money for the family? Mrs. Xu is dead. As long as you insist that nothing happened, who knows what happened. Even if you reported something to Mrs. Xu before, could it be Women are not allowed to gossip and gossip, and you have never done anything outrageous, why are you guilty?"
"But she actually found my mother." Li Xiu'er cared most about her mother, and she was in this situation because she wanted to give her mother a good life.
Zhao Jiahua grabbed Li Xiu'er's hand, stared into her eyes and said, "I just found your mother, so you have to calm down. Think about it, the yamen has already questioned you, and you haven't left anything behind, An Ruochen What she can do is to go to your mother to test her when she has no choice. You don’t have to do anything, just live as usual, and she can’t do anything about you. If you panic, you will attract people’s suspicion. If something happens to you, your mother What can I do?"
Li Xiuer bit her lip, yes, her mother's life is still counting on her.
"Remember, Mrs. Xu is dead. Now only I can guarantee that you have enough money to let your mother live well, and let Zhuer take care of her wholeheartedly. You and I are in the same boat. If you can help me, I will help you."
Li Xiuer nodded vigorously. "What I promised you will naturally be done."
The two talked a few more words, Zhao Jiahua told Li Xiu'er to leave quickly, and don't come here by herself in the future. After thinking about it, he called her to stop, took out some broken silver from his bosom, and asked her to go around to the restaurant in front to find the shopkeeper to order an eight-treasure duck, so it seemed that there was a reason for coming here.
Li Xiu'er complied, took the money and put it in her sleeve pocket unceremoniously, and then left.
Zhao Jiahua went out after her, carefully looking around. Seeing Li Xiu'er successfully exited the back door, no one seemed to notice, Zhao Jiahua was relieved. She turned around to go back to her room, but at this moment she saw her husband Liu Ze walking towards her, and she froze immediately.
Liu Ze walked up to her, looked behind her, and asked, "Who is that? What do you want?"
Zhao Jiahua said with a smile: "The second wife of Jiang's clothing store wants to buy an eight-treasure duck. Since I have made clothes before, she came to ask if I can take care of her too, and say hello to shopkeeper Li. It's a good deal for her." What’s so good about it, I told her that it’s inconvenient to have a duck, and I’ll ask her about it when she has a banquet at her house.”
Liu Ze laughed: "You too, since people came to ask you, so it's no harm to be human, in the future you go to make clothes and ask her to make them carefully, and leave some good materials for you, isn't it good."
Zhao Jiahua pouted and acted like a baby: "I can make a few clothes, but I have to eat every day. I'm afraid that if I set a precedent, everyone will take advantage of it in the future."
Liu Ze dragged her to the front yard, walking all the way: "How can I come to every house. Where's Yin'er?"
"In the house, my mother-in-law is with me."
"Aren't you going out for a walk today?"
"No, I'll embroider those shoe uppers for you at home today." Zhao Jiahua smiled.
The two went to the front yard while talking. Liu Ze pulled Zhao Jiahua through the side door, entered from the back kitchen of Zhaofu Restaurant, and walked to the main hall of the restaurant. Li Xiuer had just arrived there, and was ordering eight-treasure duck with the shopkeeper. Seeing this, Liu Ze quickly went over to ask, and offered to waive the change and save some money. Li Xiuer was surprised, she glanced at Zhao Jiahua, and hurriedly thanked her. Liu Ze smiled, and only said that his wife would go to make clothes in the future, and asked her to take care of her.
After the two sides said some polite words, Li Xiuer ordered the duck and left. Zhao Jiahua said coquettishly to Liu Ze: "Okay, I am stingy, not as generous as Boss Liu." Liu Ze smiled and patted her head, telling her to go back first, he will be busy in the restaurant for a while.
Zhao Jiahua turned around and walked towards the mansion. He dared to let go of his clenched hand in his sleeve when he was far away. His palm was sweating from tension.
At this moment, Anfu is preparing for the meeting between An Ruoxi and An Ruochen tomorrow. Earlier, An Zhifu smashed An Ruochen's room, many things were lost, even his clothes were ruined. An Ruoxi used the name of bringing clothes for her sister to visit, so how could she not have something suitable in hand. So the maid and the mother-in-law cleaned up and rushed to make it temporarily. Tan Shi and An Ronggui pulled An Ruoxi to give them instructions.
Later, in a mansion in Zhonglan City, Mr. Xie was drinking tea, and said to the person sitting opposite him in a calm tone: "An Ruochen can't move, she is very important to my plan. I have never left The military situation must be so close."
The man on the opposite side said: "If you think you can control her, you are making a big mistake..."
Mr. Xie waved his hand: "Don't talk too much, I've already said this, An Ruochen is very important, no one can hurt her. She must stay in Ziyun Tower safely, she is close to Long Dayue, The more beneficial it is for us. I know what your plan is, I advise you not to act rashly, if something bad happens, you can't afford it!"
The man on the other side was silent.
Mr. Xie said again: "It's you and I who said this. I don't have the patience to change someone else. You know, I have to get rid of anything that might become an obstacle. Don't make things difficult for me."
The tone is ordinary, but the words are cruel. The face of the person opposite him suddenly turned ugly, and he replied: "Don't forget, I am also very important. If you don't have me, you still have a plan. Be polite to me, or if something big happens, you can't take care of it." Get up!" After saying that, he got up and walked away.
Mr. Xie stared at his back, and put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table.
An Ruochen and An Ruoxi met.
The two sisters were relatively speechless and sat in silence for a long time. An Ruoxi was very nervous. When they first met, she still smiled and said, "Sister, long time no see."
But An Ruochen didn't say a word, and just waved her hand to let her sit down.
Although An Ruoxi was mentally prepared for this cold face, she still didn't feel comfortable.
After sitting down, she waited for An Ruochen to speak, but in the end she was able to remain silent. The more An Ruoxi sat, the more embarrassed she became, and she gradually became annoyed. Since he agrees to see her, why bother to give her face on purpose. Oh, by the way, she agreed to see her, and it must be for the opportunity to let her see her face.
An Ruoxi wanted to lose her temper and leave, but thinking of the consequences of leaving without accomplishing anything, she dared not. After thinking about how to do business after returning home, she decided to speak first.
"How is sister doing here?"
"It's better than being in Anfu." An Ruochen replied this time. The voice is kind, but the words are like nails.
An Ruoxi pretended not to understand, and said again: "I brought some clothes, food and daily necessities for my sister."
"You're too polite." He was as unfamiliar as a new acquaintance.
An Ruoxi smiled, but An Ruochen didn't. She just looked at her like this, which made An Ruoxi guilty and annoyed. After waiting for a while, An Ruochen still didn't take the initiative to speak, An Ruoxi gritted his teeth and decided not to go around the bush again.
"This time, I actually wanted to bring news to my sister. A few days ago, Nanny Song eavesdropped on the conversation of her parents and was punished by her father. Nanny Song was too old and couldn't bear it. She died of serious injuries. Daddy simply Send away all the maids and servants in your yard."
As An Ruoxi spoke, she stole a glance at An Ruochen. Seeing that her expression was stiff and she didn't lose her temper, she continued: "Everyone in your yard is gone, so Dad covered up the death of Nanny Song, saying that she had gone back to her hometown to retire. The risk is to secretly find someone to go to the mass grave to find the body for Nanny Song, begging to bury her. But my parents are watching closely, I haven't had a chance to ask about the follow-up, and I will tell you when I ask where the burial is .”
An Ruochen asked coldly: "Is this related to you?"
An Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat: "What?"
"Is the death of my old nanny related to you?"
An Ruoxi almost didn't jump up: "What does it have to do with me? Maybe I can beat her to death, and then come to tell you the news of her death."
"If it has nothing to do with you, why are you guilty, why are you so unbearable?"
An Ruoxi stared, and raised her voice high-pitched: "People's hearts are fleshy, so I can't bear it any longer. You and my sister, although we don't have a deep friendship, we grew up together anyway. The servants also scolded and punished me, but have you ever seen me kill anyone? Besides, she is your old nanny, not my servant, so why should I beat her? What good does it do me if she killed her?"
"The good thing is that when you come to see me, you can ask me for credit. Daddy is cruel and cruel, needless to say, but you are the only one in that family. How dare you take care of the people you killed and the corpses you ordered to discard?" I secretly found someone to bury her. For me, for my sister who doesn’t have a deep friendship.”
An Ruoxi choked, and argued forcefully: "At least we are sisters."
"I wasn't a little surprised when you told me Old Nan was dead, weren't you?"
An Ruoxi was stunned.
"You know that Aunt Lu has contacts with me, and that Aunt Lu has contacts with the old nanny. Since the old nanny eavesdropped on your conversation, could someone help spread the word? So you deliberately asked Aunt Lu to help collect the corpse, you Guess she will report the news to me. Before you came here, I already knew that you were a good person, helped the old woman and helped me. Then I should be grateful to you, and I should speak nicely to you, to you I should think about responding to your request, right?"
An Ruoxi pursed her lips tightly, unable to speak.
"You dare to pretend that you don't know. Should I say that I already know everything, and thanks to having a younger sister, am I really grateful?!" An Ruochen stared at An Ruoxi, and said word by word: "You Since you are using Aunt Lu, it is quite possible to intentionally kill my old nanny and use this matter to play tricks on me. An Ruoxi, listen to me, this matter will not stop there, I will investigate everything Chu, whoever harmed the old nanny, I will not let him go. Daddy, your mother, and you..."
"I didn't!" Before An Ruochen could finish his ruthless words, An Ruoxi jumped up and shouted, "I didn't move a single finger of her. Master Qian wanted to deal with you, so he asked his father to talk to Ronggui, and wanted to make him talk to Ronggui." The family is in contact with you, looking for news about you, and there will be a chance to lure you out and capture you in the future. My father doesn't want to come to be angry with you, but my mother let me come. Am I willing to see your face? Song Nanny Mammy overheard our conversation, so my mother and father had her beaten. I didn’t touch a finger of her! I was trying my best to please you, so what! Who else can I ask now? Father and mother are going to discuss marriage with Master Qian again, you are gone, the fourth sister is gone, and it will be my turn next. What else can I do? My mother lied to me, and my father will not love me, no one Help me, no one will help me. What can I do?!"
The more An Ruoxi spoke, the more excited she became, and she roared. "What's so great about you, I don't want to come to see you. But I have no choice. I took water and wound medicine, and wanted to help Nanny Song, but she died of serious injuries. It was really serious. I just fed her some water, but she was still scolding me, cursing and scolding, and then went. I was also scared, but what could I do? Lan'er followed me secretly, and when she saw Nanny Song dying, she insisted Said it was my fault. I didn’t! If you hear a half-word saying that I was the fault in the future, it’s not true. It must be Lan’er and her mother’s nonsense. I just fed some water. I want to help her! If I help her, I will have something to talk to you and be able to please you. That’s right, that’s what I thought, but what can I do if she is dead? I did it on purpose Aunt Lu, I know she will tell you about this, but I did nothing wrong. If I hadn’t been cornered and killed me, I wouldn’t have come here to be taught by you! Do you think I want to see you? Slut!” An Ruo Xi burst into tears, and slapped the table while shouting.
An Ruochen stared at her, and An Ruoxi also stared at her.
