ancient criminal minds

Just when Lu Zheng found You Xiaowu, in Lu's mansion, the eldest wife, Mrs. Wu, avoided everyone and came to a remote courtyard.

Although the yard is very dilapidated, it is well-kept. Although the flowers and plants are not expensive, they are neatly planted. There is also a locust tree, but it looks a little cold in winter.

Wu's face was flustered, she didn't even look at the scene, she directly opened the door, and a gust of cold wind followed her into the room.

In the middle of the room sat a gentle woman, who was sewing a child's clothes carefully with a needle and thread.

Wu Shi hurriedly ran to her: "I did as you said, they won't doubt me anymore, right?"

The sewing hand stopped, and the woman slowly raised her head, but it was the cowardly seventh wife, Yan Shi.

Yan's smiled softly: "Don't worry."

But Wu's is still uneasy: "The second child refuses to plead guilty to life and death, in case they find out that the boy is me..."

"Don't mess around." The Yan family resumed sewing, "The British father and son have been officials for many years and have made many enemies. There are not a few who want to use the Lu family's affairs to attack them. The Lu family elders will not let this happen." What happened, no matter whether Lu Yuan pleads guilty or not, the time of death is not far away."

Wu's face was confused, but she still shuddered unconsciously.

Yan bit off the thread, shook the clothes, and showed Wu: "This is the clothes I made for Brother Qing, do you think it looks good?"

Wu's expression was a little unnatural: "His clothes are made by his own mother and maid, why bother you?"

Yan shi sighed: "I have listened to what you asked the nanny to pass on to me. I am such a broom star, and I am indeed not suitable for making clothes for my brother."

"You...don't listen to that old guy's nonsense." Wu was fidgeting, "That old guy is used to relying on others, I never said that."

Yan Shi stood up, put her hand on Wu Shi's shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "Okay, I don't blame you. Anyway... you will always come back and beg me."

Wu's had a rare flash of inspiration: "Why did you poison them? You can obviously kill them in other ways, just like the boss and..."

"Hush——" Yan's index finger pressed against Wu's lips, "You, have you forgotten how you begged me at the beginning, and now that you have achieved your goal, you don't need me anymore?"

Wu turned her head and looked at her in disbelief: "You did it on purpose! You said that the master wanted to pass on the family business to the second child and asked me to inquire about the whereabouts of the master. You lied to me?!"

"Yes." Yan Shi straightened up, with a gentle smile still on the corner of her mouth.

"Slap!" Wu Shi turned around and slapped her hard, trembling with anger, "You bitch! You lied to me!"

Yan's body was weak, and she fell to the ground after being hit by her. After a long time, he touched the corner of his bleeding mouth and slowly got up, looking at Wu's with pity: "If it wasn't like this, your hooked kiss should have fallen to the ground. I'm on it."

Wu couldn't help but take a step back and looked at her in horror.

"I want to use hook kisses to cure diseases. Everyone knows that even if I accidentally drop it a little harder, no one will find out." Yan sighed softly, "I have taught you so much, you It can be regarded as a teacher, but after all, there are still some small flaws, why haven't you thought about it, I am such a careful person, I don't know how to check before taking medicine?"

Wu Shi looked at her as if she had seen a ghost. Who has ever seen such a person, who knew that he was going to kill her, but used this as an example to teach her how to poison her?

But Yan still said: "I really miss when you first entered the mansion, you didn't know anyone, you couldn't rely on anyone, you pretended to be strong outside, but you could only hide in a corner and cry in private, but now you are the eldest wife Now, you have sons and daughters, and once you have secured your position, you won’t need me anymore.”

Wu Shi turned her face away: "What are you talking about now?"

"Yeah, what are you talking about?" There was a moment of sadness on Yan's face, "People change..."

Feeling like sitting on pins and needles, Wu Shi stood up quickly: "Okay, I've been out for a long time, I'll go back first." After speaking, without waiting for Yan Shi's answer, she hurriedly opened the door and left, and another gust of cold wind blew in , took away the last bit of warmth from this not-so-warm room.

Yan sat down slowly, and used scissors to slowly cut the clothes that took her several days to shreds.

After doing this, Yan stood up, left the room and went to the side room next door. There was a maid lying on the bed in the middle of the room, which was Yan's personal maid, but she looked at Yan as if she saw a ghost .

Yan Shi sat on the side of the bed, regardless of her whining in fear, stretched out her hand to stroke the broken hair on her sideburns, and said softly: "I know you don't want to stay by my side, but you also need to find a better one." My master, the eldest lady is too busy to take care of herself now, how can she still remember you?"

The servant girl looked at her in horror, tears rolled down one after another, and said inarticulately: "Mrs... Madam, you... forgive me... slave girl... no... dare..."

Yan shi sighed softly, and the servant girl's face turned ashen, as if this sigh had sealed her fate.

At this time, Lu Zheng, who had returned to the British government, was dragged by his mother to pack his things. It turned out that Yun was going to offer incense at Fengguo Temple the next day.

Ever since he found out that Chen might know his identity, Lu Zheng was somewhat resistant to going to Fengguo Temple, but Yun's attitude was very tough. Lu Zheng had no choice but to go back honestly and ask Liu Zhi to pack his things.

Yun Shi said that he could take a maid, he asked Liu Zhi and Ji Xiang, Liu Zhi smiled and said: "You can take sister Ji Xiang, the servant girl will stay and watch the house."

Lu Zheng glanced at Chixiang.

Ji Xiang showed a smile: "Okay, the clothes are not as good as the old ones, and the new ones are not as good as the old ones. The servant girl is already an old man, and she used to go out with the young master. This time, let Liu Zhi go with you, little girl, don't put yourself I'm bored like an old aunt."

Lu Zheng had seen too many swords and swords between the two in private, and it was rare to see them so modest, so he couldn't help but feel relieved, and waved his hand: "Okay, don't argue, both of you will go. Well, let's let this time Ah Fu is the housekeeper."

So, the next day, Yun saw her son followed by two maids carrying burdens, but Ah Fu, who had always followed his son, stood in the crowd aggrieved.

Yun didn't say much, but just shared a sentimental sentence with Madam Yu: "Zheng'er has grown up too."

Nanny Yu also laughed: "It's time for you to find a wife for the young master."

As if she didn't hear this sentence, Yun said calmly, "His elder brother found him a job in the Ministry of Punishment, so that's good."

Nanny Yu stopped talking and helped Mrs. Yun into the carriage.

Lu Zheng rode a horse. In the past, he would get into Yun's carriage, but since he almost told the truth in front of Lu Qing last time, he began to consciously keep a distance from them.

This time, nothing happened until entering Fengguo Temple. Lu Zheng was inexplicably relieved for some reason, but before he could breathe out, he saw a familiar figure.

"Mr. Ye?" Lu Zheng looked at him curiously, "What...what are you doing here?" Ye Wenguan is a preacher of Wuwei Dao, and he knew that he would never come to Fengguo Temple, which belongs to Shi Dao, to offer incense .

Ye Wen saw that it was him, and smiled gently: "Mr. Lu, I see that you look a little confused, but what's bothering you?"

Lu Zheng always remembered what Lu Qing had said to him, thinking that Ye Wenguan also knew his identity, so he was a little restrained in front of him: "Actually...it's nothing."

Ye Wenguan has always been keen, and he understood Lu Zheng's attitude as soon as he saw it. He smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, in my eyes, you are no different from other people."

Lu Zheng scratched his head: "Actually, I was a little scared...but now I understand, I always have to face it."

Ye Wenguan nodded appreciatively: "That's good."

Lu Zheng wanted to say something, but saw the door of the wing room behind Ye Wenguan open, and Rong Zhen walked out.

"Chu... Your Highness the King of Chu?"

Rong Zhen didn't expect to meet Lu Zheng here, seeing his surprised face, he couldn't help but feel amused: "What? I forgot what to call him again today?"

Lu Zheng reflexively felt a pain in his cheek, and he yelled out faster than his brain: "Uncle Nineteen."

"good."

Lu Zheng was not happy again, the King of Chu didn't look much older than him, why did he like to take advantage of him so much.

But Ye Wen saw Rong Zhen's extraordinary interest in Lu Zheng, so he couldn't help frowning, and interrupted: "Your Highness, since you have seen Chen, you should put it down and go back."

"What's the rush?" Rong Zhen said in a leisurely manner, "Mr. Ye is not concerned about nature? Isn't it also natural for you to stay here now?"

Ye Wenguan's face rarely showed anger: "His Royal Highness Chu!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Lu Zheng covered his ears and was about to leave silently, but someone grabbed him by the collar.

"Where are you going?" Rong Zhen didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his actions. Seeing Lu Zheng struggling, he said with a smile, "I haven't been back to Yanjing for many years, and Fengguo Temple has changed. Why don't my nephew take him with me?" Is the king going to take a stroll?"

Liar!Not to mention that the layout of Fengguo Temple has not changed for many years, just say that last year, you accompanied Emperor Yongning to Fengguo Temple to offer incense!You have to have snacks even if you lie, okay, Your Highness Chu Wang!

However, Lu Zheng only dared to say these words in his heart, he didn't dare to show them in front of Rong Zhen, seeing that his attitude had not changed, he could only honestly take him to the back mountain.

Ye Wenguan frowned, but heard a person behind him say calmly: "Let them go, it's all doomed."

Ye Wenguan turned his head and saw Chen standing at the door of the wing room, he smiled coldly: "Liao Chen, we are the ones who have wronged him, and we should pay it back, the so-called calamity is just a lie to comfort ourselves, we all know it well. "

Liaochen lowered his head: "Amitabha."
