In this life, since Yan Heng was reborn, he made up his mind to compete in the world, and took advantage of his foresight, so he naturally got twice the result with half the effort.He first emptied the county lieutenant, took over the military power, and then began to set up army camps, leveled the price of food, won the love of ordinary people, and seized the actual control of Liaodong in just three years. Get up and running.

It is precisely because of Yan Heng's toughness and excellence in this life that Ying has no dissatisfaction with him, so naturally he will not speak out about his murder of her husband to provoke him.

But Yan Heng still had a heart for Ying Shi after all. He didn't blame her for killing her father, but he wasn't sure why she did it, whether it was to protect him, or to protect Ying Shi's interests, or Just for a gamble?

Yan Heng suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and sighed inaudibly.

Yilan Courtyard is not far from Xikua Courtyard where the concubines lived. The reason why Yan Heng arranged several concubines in Xikua Courtyard, which was originally a large garden, was to ask his mother to help supervise them.

Arriving at Yilan Courtyard, Yan Heng left the guards with him at the gate of the courtyard, and entered the main hall by himself.

Mrs. Ying was sitting upright behind the table in the main hall, as if preparing to eat the imperial food, and several maids were kneeling in front of the table, laying out rice porridge and side dishes.

Seeing Yan Heng enter the door, Ying asked indifferently: "Have you used the court food?"

"Not yet." Yan Heng bowed to salute, and took a seat under Ying Shi.

The maid immediately put a table in front of Yan Heng, and served a meal exactly like the one on Ying's case.

There was no talking about food, no talking when sleeping, and there was no gossip between mother and child. After the food was arranged, Yan Heng and Ying Shi began to eat in silence.

After eating, rinsed his mouth, and cleaned his hands, Ying waved the maids out of the main hall, turned to Yan Heng and asked, "What's going on with the old lady?"

"The old lady is dead." Yan Heng replied indifferently.

"I know she's dead." Ying said coldly, "What I'm asking is why did she die?"

"I'm still thinking about it." Yan Heng's expression remained unchanged.

Ying Shi was slightly taken aback, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Accident?"

"Not sure yet." Yan Heng said with downcast eyes.

Seeing that Yan Heng refused to speak out, Ying felt a little unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that you disposed of a group of servants yesterday evening, and a considerable part of them belonged to your male wife's yard?"

Yan Heng said: "Since you know, why bother to ask me for proof."

"Hmph." Ying Shi sneered, "You are also a powerful lady. You let that old thing die within two days after entering the door. It really is... a town house and a home."

Yan Heng didn't know how to say it properly, so he simply didn't answer.

Ying's voice changed, "Speaking of which, you wanted to bring him to see me yesterday, but something happened to the old lady's side that made it impossible to come?"

"Yes."

"Send someone to call him over." Ying Shi said, "I also want to see how he's a town house."

"I'm afraid it won't work." Yan Heng refused without thinking, "Yesterday, the old lady sent people to make a scene in his yard. He was frightened, and he is still bedridden right now."

"Heng Lang." Hearing what Yan Heng said, Ying smiled lowly, "Brother Huang obviously never taught you how to lie."

Yan Heng's face became hot, and he was speechless in embarrassment.

As soon as he heard Ying's desire to see "Ruan Cheng", Yan Heng couldn't help thinking of the scene where "Ruan Cheng" pierced the old lady's cheek with a hairpin, and then began to worry about whether "Ruan Cheng" could live in harmony with his mother .

You know, one of these two is cold-hearted, and the other is heartless. When it comes to cruelty, I'm afraid they are on par.

In case the two disagreed with each other after meeting, and had a quarrel, the result... would be unimaginable!

One is his own mother, and the other is his beloved wife.Although the former never raised him with his own hands, it was also to save his life, and he overcame obstacles for him, which can be said to have fulfilled all responsibilities except nurturing grace; although the latter has not yet fulfilled his wife's responsibilities, but he has always thought about it. I only got it in two lifetimes, and I just want to use a golden house to pretend to be a beloved sweetheart.

This is simply the palm of the hand and the back of the hand. No matter which side is injured, he will still be in pain.

That being the case, it's better to never meet each other like the real palm and back of the hand, so as to avoid trouble.

When thinking of this, Yan Heng had already made a secret decision. After Luo Daozi examined the old lady's body, he would ask him to take "Ruan Cheng" to the barracks. Take it back.

"Is it right?" Seeing Yan Heng's silence, Ying asked with great interest.

"Mother." Yan Heng sighed, "Let's talk about the meeting later, at least give me some time, let me 'tune' him to be able to meet people first."

The Ying family couldn't help being taken aback, frowned and said: "The Ruan family is also a noble family, even the collateral family should be educated and courteous."

"Ruan Huan is just a businessman after all." Yan Heng could only follow Ying's words and answer vaguely.

Ying frowned, but finally didn't insist, "In that case, then as you wish, bring him over when you think it's appropriate."

"Thank you mother for understanding." Yan Heng leaned slightly.

But Ying said sternly: "It doesn't matter whether I see you, a male lady, but since you have already used the guise of a town house and risked the world's disgrace to marry him in, you have to hurry up and work hard on your heirs." Otherwise, you will become the laughing stock of others after dinner."

"Mother don't have to worry." Yan Heng said, "The matter of the son and heir will have a result today."

Ying Shi was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed suddenly as if he had thought of something.

"Mother." Yan Heng didn't let Ying's words come out, "I know what I'm doing and what I'm going to do, please don't worry."

Ying opened her mouth, swallowed back what she was going to say, and asked instead: "Which one is pregnant, Ru Ji?"

"Yes." Yan Heng was not surprised that Ying Shi could guess right.Among the five concubines in his backyard, only Ru Ji was selected for him by the Ying family. Among the remaining four, three are from the old lady and one is from the queen mother. They all belong to the type where sleeping with a child is equivalent to sleeping with trouble .

"Ru Ji's status is a bit low, one child is not enough," Ying said.

Yan Heng was a little helpless, but he didn't want to argue with his mother, so he simply pulled the old lady out as a shield, "Mother, don't you know why I have no children so far?"

In the previous life, Yan Heng returned to Liaodong at the age of 16. At that time, two concubines were stuffed in the courtyard. After the crowning ceremony at the age of 20, he married the first wife.Since then, in the past ten years, no less than ten women have slept with him, and not only one or two of them have been pregnant.

But most of these children were strangled in the mother's womb by Yan Heng before they were born, and the rest were also killed by the old lady in one way or another.

In this life, Yan Heng deliberately controlled the number of women in the backyard in order to reduce the number of murders. Except for the few sent by the old lady and the queen mother who had to be accepted, he tried every means to reject the rest. The other women only accepted Ru Ji.

But when he was reborn, it was already after the crowning ceremony, some people had to be killed and eliminated.

This included the wife he married shortly after the coronation ceremony.

The Ying family has lived in seclusion in the Yilan Courtyard since Yan Heng came back, but she is not completely unaware of the secret battle between Yan Heng and the old lady's wife. Hearing this, she was startled at first, and then fell silent.

Yan Heng didn't want to poke his mother's heart, so he hurriedly said: "Although the old lady is dead, there will inevitably be remnants of the county guard's mansion, and my mother will always give me some time to clean up the mansion, otherwise, even if the child is born, it will be too late. It may not be possible to survive.”

"Forget it, anyway, you have to keep the uniform for a year for that old thing." Ying sighed quietly, "Take care of Ru Ji first, and let her give birth to this child no matter what."

"I also ask my mother to help me." Yan Heng got up and walked to the middle of the main hall, and made a formal bow to Ying, "It is impossible for my new wife to take care of the inner house for me. He doesn't understand, and it's not suitable for me." I can only entrust this matter to my mother, and ask her to take over the common affairs of the inner house, so as to save me from worrying about the future."

"Don't worry, Heng Lang, I'm ready to take over." Ying Shi nodded, "The inscriptions and other things should be hung up, and then send people to report funerals at various houses, so don't let people find out what's wrong."

"I'm afraid we will have to wait for a while to report the funeral." Yan Heng said, "No matter what the reason for the announcement, I always want to know how the old lady died."

"Don't you know?" Ying was taken aback.

"I only know that it has something to do with what happened yesterday." Yan Heng said vaguely.

"Nothing happened yesterday." Ying said in an affirmative tone, "The old lady has always been arrogant and domineering, and has made many enemies. Even among the relatives of the same clan, there are many people who want to eat their flesh alive. Who knows which one is it?" He bought the maidservant of her yard and killed her to avenge her revenge."

"I understand." Yan Heng understood Ying's meaning clearly.

After passing Ying's test, Yan Heng let go of his hands and feet, and relaxed his mind.

It's just that he didn't spare time to see "Ruan Orange" after all. As soon as he left the Yilan courtyard, the attendant sent the news that Luo Daozi had arrived.

Yan Heng could only order someone to take Luo Daozi directly to Chunhui Hall, and he himself turned around and rushed there.

When everyone arrived at the old lady's bed, Luo Daozi didn't ask any more questions, just squatted down, stared at the old lady's body for a while, then stood up, put his hand on the old lady's forehead, Pressed it, touched it again, and finally raised his head and shook it twice, and quickly said: "The fatal wound is here."

"Head?" Yan Heng stepped over and put his hand on the old lady's forehead, but he didn't feel anything.

"There is no problem with the bone, but the inside of the bone has become a paste." Luo Daozi explained, "If the Lord is willing to let me plan the old lady's skull..."

"Impossible." Yan Heng refused without thinking, and asked instead, "Is it possible to cover the wound on her face?"

"Master, this is a bit embarrassing for me." Luo Daozi immediately shook his head.

Yan Heng didn't force it, and waved his hand, asking Luo Daozi to inspect the yard again, to see if he could find any clues.

At this moment, Yan Heng ruled out "Ruan Orange".

Before marrying into the Sheriff's Mansion, Ruan Cheng had no relationship with the old lady, and the little personal grievance yesterday was nothing more than the beating of the maid in the yard, which made him lose face.But those maids did not have a personal relationship with Ruan Cheng. Even Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao were the two most inconspicuous ones that Yan Heng picked out from a bunch of dowry maids in the Ruan family on their wedding night. .

Will Ruan Cheng kill the old lady for these maids who are not even acquaintances?

Yan Heng couldn't believe it no matter how he thought about it.

But if it wasn't Ruan Cheng, who killed the old lady?

Could it be that there is really a peerless expert hidden in his mansion who has a mortal hatred against the old lady?
