After rebirth, I will be the royal aunt to the scumbag

When Xue Jinruo heard what she said, he thought that this person must know something and couldn't help but frown.

"Xue Xueyao, what did you see that night?" she asked directly.

Xue Xueyao's originally panicked look turned crazy in an instant.

In this way, no important information can be obtained from the interrogation.

……

Moreover, although the three brothers of the Xue family lived in Xue Jinruo's small courtyard, they always felt panicked, fearing that after the Xue family finally saw the light, they would be destroyed again.

However, Xue Sijian still kept the imperial examination in mind. It was already the end of October, and it was only more than a year before the next spring. They had not read a book for more than a year. If they did not seize the time, this time Chunwei will definitely fail.

Xue Sijian looked through the books in the small courtyard. They were all military books left by Sheng Chenghan, and they were of no use to him.

Therefore, he decided to go out shopping.

"Brother, aren't there so many books here? Why do you still want to go out and buy them? Let's..." Xue Siliang hesitated.

They had not had enough to eat for two days.

Previously, when the Xue family was temporarily detained in the house, Sheng Jingze's subordinates would prepare everything for them. Now that they are independent, they have no money or silver. Fortunately, they have the food left by Sheng Chenghan, otherwise it would be a problem for them to survive.

When Xue Sijian heard this, he couldn't help but stop and looked solemn.

It is said that the eldest brother is like the father. As the eldest brother, now he cannot set an example for his younger siblings, let alone make a living for his younger siblings.

He sighed and said: "Siliang, this is a difficult time for our family. One of us has to go out to work. I will go to make a living. You and the third child will prepare well for the imperial examination. They will definitely bring glory to our Xue family. "

"Brother..." Xue Siriang didn't want to see such a scene.

Xue Sirang even stood up and refused: "Brother, what are you talking about? You were famous in the capital with a poem. With such a good literary talent, if you don't take part in the imperial examination, it will be a great loss for the country. You must never give up."

"I'm a reckless man who only knows how to wield a knife and a gun, so let me go."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked out.

Naturally, Xue Sijian was not willing to let his brother suffer, so he directly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Sit down!"

"There are also martial arts exams now. At the end of next year, you'd better stay with me and practice martial arts. It just so happens that the third prince has left military books here. If you can become a military commander, you will inherit the mantle of our Xue family. .”

After he said this, the two brothers no longer argued.

But despite this, they still felt that their brother was born at the wrong time.

……

Xue Jinruo asked openly and secretly, but couldn't get anything out of it, so he had to turn his attention to Pingping.

As Sheng Xian's personal maid, Pingping must know some inside information and may be able to find out some clues.

Thinking of this, she immediately asked someone to find Pingping.

When Pingping learned that Xue Jin wanted to question her, she was so scared that she was uneasy on the road, fearing that Xue Jin would hold her accountable.

Therefore, Pingping was very nervous when she saw Xue Jinruo. Xue Jinruo couldn't help but frown when he saw her like that, thinking that this person must know something.

"Pingping, do you still remember what happened that night? Did the Sixth Princess see something that made her become like this?" Xue Jinruo looked at her directly as if he wanted to penetrate her heart.

When Pingping saw Xue Jinruo staring at her like that, she couldn't help but feel a little fuzzy, and she started to mutter: "I don't remember, I don't know anything."

"This matter is about the Sixth Princess. How dare you push back here? Don't forget that as the Sixth Princess's personal maid, you should be by her side every step of the way, but you don't know anything about it. Don't you? Is there no ghost here?" Xue Jinruo tried to scare her so that she would tell the truth.

"Or are you saying that you knew these things from the beginning and deliberately hurt the Sixth Princess?"

"Pingping, this is a serious crime."

Unexpectedly, Pingping was immediately frightened: "I don't know, I really don't know."

She cried and shook her head desperately. Xue Jinruo couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

"Pingping, don't be afraid, I know you must know what happened that night." Xue Jinruo used coercion and inducement to try to find out what happened that night.

Pingping may have been frightened. She huddled up in the corner and remained motionless and silent.

Xue Jinruo was a little angry, but she couldn't give up the truth: "If you can't say it, I can't force it. However, I tell you, no matter whether the Sixth Princess is okay or not, you will definitely not survive. Even your parents and brothers will not be able to survive." It’s hard to escape the blame.”

Sure enough, Pingping's expression changed again when she heard this. Seeing this, Xue Jinruo continued: "Neither the Guochao nor the Da Yueshi will let you go."

Pingping looked horrified, and she quickly crawled to Xue Jinruo's side: "As long as I say it, I won't have to die."

She doesn't want to die yet. She is still so young. As long as she follows Sheng Xian to Da Yuezhi, she will be the princess's maid. No one can look down upon her. Even her parents and brothers will no longer have to live a miserable life.

Therefore, when Xue Jinruo brought up this issue, Pingping couldn't hold back any longer.

"As the regent princess, I will definitely be able to protect you." Xue Jinruo's heavy and soothing voice floated into Pingping's heart, like a reassurance.

Pingping adjusted her mood and then started to say: "I remember that a woman appeared that night, and her body was full of the smell of sandalwood... Later, later..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but frown.

"Princess, I really can't remember what happened next."

"The slave fainted immediately after smelling the fragrance. When she woke up again, the Sixth Princess had already turned into that look. Princess, I really don't know what happened next."

"Are you sure?" Xue Jinruo frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask Pingping again for confirmation.

Pingping began to recall again, and she finally nodded with certainty: "I'm sure."

If Xue Jinruo saw that she had confirmed that person, she would have the answer in her heart.

The only woman with the scent of sandalwood is the fifth princess Sheng Jiaojiao. Thinking of this, Xue Jinruo probably had an idea.

This matter must be Sheng Jiaojiao's handiwork.

However, although this place in the capital is not very far, it still takes time to get back and forth. Besides, with the situation of the town full of people, this matter is definitely not a spur of the moment. .
