The heart of the red mansion is like jade

The courtyard thought that the old man was struggling to stand up, Shui Rong and Feng Ziying saw them, and quickly stepped forward to help the old man up, the old man thanked Shui Rong and Feng Ziying, sighed: "Now I am old , my wife is not in good health and can't get out of bed, if it wasn't for you two old people who don't know when you will be able to stand up, thank you both." Shui Rong hurriedly said: "You are welcome, old man." He helped the old man into the house while talking inside.

The old man said: "The family is poor, it made the two masters laugh at me." Shui Rong saw that although the furniture in the house was simple but it was clean, thinking that the two old men were also very hardworking, he said to the old man: "Grandpa, are you two old people at home?" The old man hurriedly said, "We are the only two old people in the house, my lord, why are you here?" After all, this old man came from Rongguo Mansion. The eyes are still very good, and it is natural to see that although these two young masters are only wearing casual clothes, they are full of luxury, and I am afraid they are the young masters.

Shui Rong saw that the old man understood very well, and he didn't lie, he said directly: "Old man, today we came here specially to ask you some old things." I don't understand." Shui Rong smiled and said, "Why is the old man in a hurry to deny it? If you understand, why would you change your face, and besides, there are few old things in the house, so why should the old man be nervous?"

The old man was even more frightened, and hurriedly asked: "Who are you?" Feng Ziying said: "We are members of the imperial court, and now we have found some old things in a case. After careful investigation, we got the news of the two old men. You don't have to be afraid, we just want to know something about the past from you, nothing else." The old man asked doubtfully, "Do you have proof?" Feng Ziying handed her waist card to the old man, and the old man After reading it, he returned it to Feng Ziying and asked, "You two are from the Rongguo Mansion."

Feng Ziying sneered and said, "We don't care about that little duke's mansion." Before the old man could say anything, he heard an old voice in the room say: "My lord, please come in, we will also come in from time to time." The days are running out, so it's time to tell the secret." The old man heard the words and said: "In that case, you two should follow the old man into the house, what you two want to know, I'm afraid my family members know better. "

Shui Rong Feng Ziying glanced at each other, then helped the old man into the house, but saw an old woman half lying on the bed in the room, who seemed to be over 70 years old, the old woman smiled when she saw Shui Rong Feng Ziying : "Two distinguished guests, sit down first. I must know everything you two want to know. It's just that I want to know what case you two are here for."

Feng Ziying hurriedly glanced at Shui Rong, saw Shui Rong nodded slightly, and replied, "Old man, we have found out something about the cause of the death of Mrs. Lin, the former salt censor. That Mrs. Lin is a girl named Jia Min." The old man said anxiously: "Miss Min is gone? How could this happen? How could she be gone at such a young age?" Shui Rong said: "Mrs. Madam was poisoned to death, and the person who poisoned him was a member of the Jia family, so we wanted to know some old things about the Jia family, and asked the old man to tell us what he knew."

The old man said with tears: "Miss Min has already left, she was poisoned by someone? It must be her, she is so cruel, she killed the girl, and now even the little miss is not spared."

Feng Ziying heard the words and asked hurriedly: "Who is she?" The old man cried: "It must be that Jia Shishi killed Miss Min, but Miss Min is already married, how can this happen?" Shui Rong hurriedly looked at Feng Ziying as if , Both of them felt that there was really something inside, Feng Ziying hurriedly asked: "Old man, isn't Mrs. Lin the daughter of the Jia Shi family? Tiger poison doesn't eat children, how could she kill her own daughter?"

The old man cried: "Miss Min is not the daughter of that Jia Shi family, Miss Min's biological mother is our girl." Shui Rong said: "Old man, what is going on?" The old man wiped his tears and said: "Our girl His surname is Chen and his name is Qiaohui. His father was a general under the command of Duke Rong. The next daughter, before leaving, was entrusted to the old man to take care of him. The old man made a marriage between our girl and Mr. Jia, and said that we would marry the two after the war. Later, our girl married Mrs. Jia. My son, Jia Daishan, although our girl is from a military commander's family, she is intelligent and kind-hearted. After getting married with Mr. Jia, she is really affectionate and respectful. The Duke also likes her very much and takes care of her all the time. The young girl has never been happy, so the old woman is a little anxious, just at that time, the young lady of Shi Hou's family accidentally met our uncle and was moved, and she insisted on marrying our uncle."

"Of course my uncle is unwilling, even the old duke doesn't agree, but the old lady is very happy. Seeing that the duke and uncle can't be persuaded, she called our girl over to force our girl to agree to this marriage, just saying Just take an equal wife, and the girl's position as the main wife will not be shaken. Of course the girl doesn't want to agree, but the old lady threatened her with her life, so the girl has no choice but to agree."

"Later, the girl from the Shi family finally married the uncle, but the uncle still has a very good relationship with our girl. It is strange to say that the girl was pregnant within half a year after Shi's family entered the house. The girl and the uncle were naturally happy. The father and the old lady were also very happy, and they were very careful every day, but later they had a miscarriage because they drank a cup of tea by mistake, and the child was not born. The old man was very angry, and found out that the girl was harmed by Shi Shi However, at that time, the family members of the historian family were in the midst of prosperity, and the old Duke just punished Shi mercilessly, but did not divorce her. My uncle hated her to the bone and never entered her room again. Because of this incident, the old Duke felt that I'm sorry that my comrade-in-arms died in depression, and the old lady left in less than half a year. My uncle became the new Duke, so he often took our girl to live in other courtyards, and sometimes he didn't return home for a year or a half. .”

"After six or seven years, I finally got my body again. My uncle took care of me every day, and finally gave birth to the child safely. She is now Miss Min. It's just that our girl's miscarriage hurt her health, but it took only half a year. No more. Uncle can't take care of the child by himself, so he entrusts the child to Mrs. Shi. In order to please Mrs. Shi, she treats Miss Min very well, and Mrs. Min visits Miss Min every day, even if she wants to harm her, she can't do anything. Let's start. In this way, Miss Min will grow up under Jia Shishi's care, people who don't know will think that Miss Min is from Jia Shishi, and even Miss Min doesn't know who her own mother is."

Shui Rong said: "So that's the case, so it's no wonder why Jia Shishi wanted to kill Miss Lin and Yu'er." Then he asked: "Old man, what happened afterwards?"

The old woman said kindly: "Later Miss Min grew up day by day, my uncle wanted to tell Miss Min the truth several times, but he didn't say so because he was afraid that Miss Min would be sad. My uncle knew that he was old and afraid that it would be difficult to have offspring, so he adopted Jia She Jia Zheng had two children, but the two of them were not the best choice, but Jia Shishi insisted on choosing them, and my uncle agreed. The two brothers treated Miss Min very well. Nuyuan wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River with Miss Min, but he was worried about his uncle's health, so he didn't go. One year after Miss Min got married, one day, my uncle suddenly let the old man and the old man leave the Rongguo Mansion, and said that he would never come back. The old man had to leave, and the old man passed away within a few days. Both of us felt strange that my uncle was fine at first, but why did he go away all of a sudden? and stayed here.”

Shui Rong asked: "Old man, why did the old man ask you to leave?" The old woman shook her head and said, "My lord, I really don't know." Give it to her, the old man will be better, the old man who suddenly didn't make a sound said: "My lord, I know why the Duke of the State asked the two of us to leave the Duke's Mansion."

Shui Rong Feng Ziying and the old woman were shocked when they heard the words, the old woman said: "You know? Why didn't you tell me?" The old man said: "It's useless to tell you the reason, it's better Don't say it." Then he said to Shui Rong and Feng Ziying: "The old man asked us to leave only because the old slave accidentally discovered a secret, and he was afraid that the old slave would be killed, so he let the old slave go."

Shui Rong hurriedly asked, "What's the secret?"

The old man said: "The old slave overheard that Jia Shi said that Master Jia Zheng was her own son."

The old man's words stunned everyone, Jia Zheng was Jia Shishi's son, no wonder she was so kind to the second wife of Jia's family, it turned out that she was really her own child.It's just that it takes ten months to have a baby, so how did Jia Shishi hide it?

The old man said: "The Duke and his wife have been living in other courtyards, and it is common for them not to return home for a year or so. When Jia Shishi became pregnant, he went to the temple saying that he wanted to worship Buddha, but in fact he went to the temple. I have given birth to a child. I returned to Jia's mansion after the child was born, and that child will be Jia Zheng."

Shui Rong said: "This is a big event, the old man, is there anyone else who can prove it?" It's easy, old man, are you willing to testify?" The old woman hurriedly said: "Of course the old slave is willing, it turns out that the girl has treated us as much as a mountain, and Miss Min was killed by them again, so the old slave must do it for Miss Min. Revenge." The old man also said: "It's strange that the Duke also went, since the old slave's status is low, he can't fight against Jia Shishi, now we are both half-buried people, naturally there is nothing to be afraid of, The old slave is also willing."
