Master of Rebirth

Went to Xianyunfang and told about Mrs. Ma going to visit Xinglin, Wang Sheng was surprised and said: "I really didn't expect Mrs. Ma to live in the capital all these years. If I knew earlier, we could take care of each other."

When Pozi Ma left suddenly, Wang Sheng only knew that there was something hidden in it, but he didn't know what it was, and he didn't know that Pozi Ma had unilaterally turned against Wang Qi.

Knowing that Wang Sheng was one of his own as Mrs. Ma, Wang Qi just smiled, but didn't speak.

"By the way, young master, how did you get in touch with Granny Ma?" Wang Sheng asked curiously.

Wang Qi avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "I haven't come in time to tell you that the young master of Zhengxihou Mansion is Ah Man, and Granny Ma only recently found out that you and Xinglin are in the capital."

"No wonder." After a brief surprise, Wang Sheng showed an expression of sudden understanding, "If Ah Man is the young master of Zhengxihou Mansion, all this makes sense."

Wang Qi was dumbfounded by Wang Sheng's reasonable tone, "What are you talking about? Does everything make sense?"

"I thought that the young master got acquainted with a certain adult from the Zhengxi Hou Mansion during his travels, and that's how he got close to the Hou Mansion, just like you knew Mr. Zhao Xiaogong. But I didn't expect that the young master of the Zhengxi Hou Mansion Lord Hou turned out to be Ah Man." Wang Sheng looked at Wang Qi seriously, and said seriously, "No wonder the young master lived in the Hou's Mansion after he came to the capital, and he was so concerned about Zhengxihou's Mansion. So it was all for Ah Man."

Feeling that what Wang Sheng said was too exaggerated, Wang Qi couldn't explain much, so she said: "I don't have the ability to pay attention to the matter of Zhengxihou's Mansion, don't talk nonsense. By the way, that Qiaogu, I have already asked Tao Ray sent it back."

"Young one, I heard from Tao Rui. Hey, who would have thought that she would actually offend the young master and embarrass Mr. Wang." Adding tea to Wang Qi's teacup, Wang Sheng sighed and said with regret: " Qiaojie finally got the favor of the third old lady, and originally wanted to go to the south with Mrs. Wang's family. It's a pity that something like this happened now."

Wang Qi stopped holding the tea and said, "Why, Qiao Gu wants to go to Hangzhou with Third Uncle's family?"

"Sister Qiao has never wanted to stay in the capital. When she heard that Mr. Wang was going to Hangzhou to take up her post, she was moved. Anyway, her daughter's illness has almost recovered, and it happened that the third old lady was also short of people. Yes." Wang Sheng said: "The little one has already agreed, and I only said that everything depends on the meaning of the third old lady. Now, the third master will definitely not take her there."

Wang Qi thought to herself, if Qiaogu was really Cuiyun, she would definitely not dare to stay in the capital.It would be a good destination to go to Hangzhou with my third aunt.Firstly, I and my daughter have a place to live, so that they will not be wandering around, and secondly, they can stay away from acquaintances in Beijing.However, everything is his guess right now, and the specific decision can only be made after Mrs. Ma meets Qiaogu.

"After Granny Ma comes, you should find a way to bring Qiaogu there and let Granny Ma have a look." Wang Qi said.

"Why?" Wang Sheng was puzzled at first, and then his heart moved, "Could it be that Granny Ma is also short of people? But Granny Ma is also in the capital."

Wang Qi rolled her eyes and said, "I heard from Ah Man that after a while, Granny Ma may go to Jiangnan for a short stay. Since Qiaogu doesn't want to stay in the capital, it would be a good place to go with Granny Ma."

"Thank you, young master, for Qiao Gu." Hearing this, Wang Sheng said happily, "By the way, are you going back with Granny Ma tonight?"

Wang Qi didn't want to meet Mrs. Ma, so she shook her head with a smile, "I still have something to do, so I won't go there. You can concentrate on greeting Mrs. Ma."

"Okay." Although he couldn't hide his disappointment, Wang Sheng complied with a smile on his face.

Considering that Wang Sheng had to go home to take care of many matters, Wang Qi went back to the Hou Mansion.At this time Zhao Jing hadn't come back yet, so Wang Qi could only go back to the house and wait.

Not long after we sat down here, Wang Ping'an came in and said, "My lord, the young master sent someone to bring a message, saying that he won't come back for dinner tonight, and asked you to go to bed earlier, so you don't have to wait for him."

Hearing this, Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then thought that after all, Cuiyun was the key person to overturn Zhao Jing's mother's case. Once the identity was confirmed, she had to be controlled immediately.Even if Zhao Jing didn't have to follow Mrs. Ma to Wang Sheng's place to identify someone, he would probably wait nearby for the result.

"Understood." Sending Wang Pingan down, although Wang Qi was calm on the face, she was uneasy in her heart.

Qiaogu is Cuiyun, after all, it is just Wang Qi's guess, although there is some basis, but the intuition still accounts for more, Wang Qi is of course worried that it will make Zhao Jingkong happy.But now he can't do much, he can only wait for the news in the Hou Mansion.

After waiting until midnight, Zhao Jing still didn't come back.Wang Qi's restless heart calmed down instead.At this hour, Mrs. Ma should have gone back long ago.If Aunt Qiao was not Cuiyun, everyone would have dispersed.And Zhao Jing is still missing, I'm afraid that Qiaogu is Cuiyun.

It was not until noon on the second day that Zhao Jing came back from outside.

Wang Qi saw that his face was heavy, and he didn't seem half happy, so her heart sank, "Why, isn't Qiao Gu...?"

"Don't think too much." Sitting down beside Wang Qi, Zhao Jing said: "You guessed right, she is indeed Cuiyun."

At this moment, the big stone in Wang Qi's heart finally fell to the ground.Seeing that Zhao Jing's face was full of exhaustion, he obviously hadn't rested all night, so he asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Zhao Jing rubbed his face and said.

Wang Qi immediately asked Wang Pingan to arrange the food, and after Zhao Jing finished eating, Wang Qi sent everyone away, and then said: "Since you have found Cuiyun, why are you not happy at all?"

"Of course I'm happy." Holding Wang Qi's hand, Zhao Jing had tears in his eyes, "It's just a coincidence... Cuiyun said something about my mother, just a little sad."

Able to understand Zhao Jing's mood, Wang Qi took his hand back and said softly: "It seems that your mother was indeed killed by Zhou Ying's current wife."

"That's right." Zhao Jing nodded, "Cuiyun has already admitted that she was deceived by lard back then and mistrusted Shen Yutang. As a result, not only did she harm her mother, but she also harmed herself."

……

It turned out that after Shen Yuwei became pregnant, a new steward came beside the chief steward of Dingbeihou's mansion.Coupled with her sweet mouth and ability to talk, she quickly captured the hearts of many maids in the mansion.

Cuiyun also admired the steward, and the steward took good care of her, and soon expressed interest in her.At that time, Cuiyun was still a young girl in love, coaxed by the smooth talk of the manager, she jumped in, wholeheartedly wanting to marry him.After Zhao Jing was born, Cuiyun went to ask Shen Yuwei to fulfill the matter.

Shen Yuwei was also very happy to see that her personal servant girl belonged to her.But after all, the steward has only been in the mansion for a few months, Cuiyun only knows that both of his parents are dead, and he and his elder brother have been dependent on each other since childhood.To be on the safe side, Shen Yuwei asked her mother's family to inquire about the character of the person in charge.Unexpectedly, after a search, he found out that although the man had not married a wife yet, he had a bad reputation. He often used his appearance and a honeyed mouth to flirt outside. Not only had affairs with several widows, but Many women from good families were involved, and there were even abortion scandals.

Shen Yuwei felt that the manager's character was not good, and she might not be sincere to Cuiyun, so she told Cuiyun the truth of the situation, hoping that she could stop the loss in time.But the girl immersed in love didn't believe it at all. Cuiyun went to confront the manager, but was denied one by one. In the end, Cuiyun felt that it was Shen Yuwei who didn't want her to marry.

The estrangement was thus buried until one day, the steward was arrested for stealing property from the mansion.

The Hou Mansion has strict rules, and this kind of thing must be severely punished.The steward was beaten severely, and then locked in the woodshed to wait for punishment.Cuiyun secretly went to see him, but the steward shouted that he was wronged, saying that he was framed, and begged Cuiyun to save his life.

Seeing that her lover was beaten to death and might go to jail, Cuiyun was naturally distressed, so she went to Shen Yuwei to intercede, hoping that she could save the manager's life.

Shen Yuwei is not favored, there is no room for her to intervene in the affairs of the mansion.Even though she had already taken her husband to give birth to the eldest son, Shen Yutang was pregnant right after her, and she and Zhao Jing didn't look too precious.Therefore, Shen Yuwei has always kept a low profile and never took the initiative to stand out.If the steward was a kind person, she would be willing to risk her face and try.The key point is that the person's conduct was bad, and the evidence of the theft was conclusive. Naturally, Shen Yuwei didn't want Cuiyun to get deeper and deeper, so she refused.

Cuiyun's begging was fruitless, so she could only go to the manager and cry.When the steward heard that Shen Yuwei was dying, he was very angry, implying that the person who framed him might be Shen Yuwei.He also said that if he was really sent to the government, he might be sent to the army, and he would never come back in this life.

Thinking of the possibility that she might never see her sweetheart again, Cuiyun panicked instantly.The steward gave her advice and asked her to ask the second wife, Shen Yutang.

"Cuiyun said that she didn't believe that her mother would frame someone. But seeing that the steward's life was at stake, and my mother didn't care, she had no choice but to ask Shen Yutang." Zhao Jing's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Shen Yutang I agreed to her request, but there is a condition that she should hide a few packets of red flowers in the mother's bedroom."

Hearing this, Wang Qi already had a score in her mind, and immediately said: "Presumably at this time, Cuiyun still doesn't know Shen Yutang's real intention."

"Exactly." Zhao Jing nodded and said, "Cuiyun said that although she knew that safflower can cause miscarriage, my mother had already given birth to me safely at that time, so no matter how many safflowers were placed in the house, it would not be dangerous. Plus The steward pleaded bitterly, thinking that Shen Yutang might just want to release these things to bring bad luck to her mother, so she agreed. Who knew that Shen Yutang would have a miscarriage within a few days after the things were hidden."

Needless to say, Wang Qi also guessed the following things.Shen Yutang suddenly had a miscarriage, and she pointed the finger at Shen Yuwei.Cuiyun has stayed in the mansion of the aristocratic family for so many years, no matter how stupid she is, she can figure out something at this time.This was obviously designed in advance to frame Shen Yuwei.

But what can Cuiyun do?Shen Yuwei is not favored, Zhou Ying will definitely not favor her.Zhou Ying attached great importance to Shen Yutang's baby, and now it suddenly disappeared. Even if she had nothing to do with Shen Yuwei, people would be suspicious of her, not to mention that the soup that made Shen Yutang have a miscarriage was prepared by Mrs. Ma herself.

If the safflower is found from Shen Yuwei's room, it means that the evidence is solid, even if Shen Yuwei denies it, no one will believe it.If one fails, the Marquis of Dingbei will be furious, and maybe all the servants in the house will suffer accordingly.And Cuiyun listened to Shen Yutang's order to release those red flowers without telling Shen Yuwei. If she told the truth, Shen Yutang would definitely not admit it, and Shen Yuwei would hate her.If both sides are offended, one can imagine what will happen to her.In order to survive, Cuiyun could only find a way to protect herself.

"So, Cuiyun took refuge in Shen Yutang?" Wang Qi said.

Zhao Jing snorted coldly, and continued: "Actually, before Zhou Ying ordered the search of mother's house, someone found Cuiyun and threatened her that if she told the truth, not only would no one believe her, but my mother would still hate her. Put the crime directly on her head. Rather than that, it's better to fight back. As long as I bring down my mother and help Shen Yutang get rid of that anger. Shen Yutang will repay her life contract and fulfill her marriage with the steward. Let them go out to live their own lives."

"So, after Cuiyun killed your mother, he fled to Lingnan with that steward?" Wang Qi asked.

"No." Zhao Jing smiled mockingly, and said: "It can be regarded as evil comes with evil. After Shen Yutang replaced my mother as the head of the Shanghou Mansion as she wished, she fulfilled her promise and let them out of the Marquis Mansion. Cuiyun originally He thought that he could live happily with his sweetheart An An, but who knew that the steward not only did not marry her, but also flirted with her outside, and even beat and scolded her. He even said after drinking that he first pursued Cuiyun because he valued her. She is the person next to the lady of the Hou Mansion. Who knows that she is not only helpless, but also a loser."

Wang Qi said with a smile: "Although the manager is a little clever, it's a pity that he didn't have to go on the right path, and he deserved the result. But since they didn't get married, how could Cuiyun get married and have children in Lingnan?"

"The steward thought that he could get his wish by relying on the big tree of Shen Yutang. Who knew that he would kill the donkey and drive him out after the matter was completed. The chief executive didn't make it, and he lost his decent job in the Hou's mansion. The steward I am not angry, but I have no choice but to vent my anger on Cuiyun." Zhao Jing sneered, and slowly told what happened next.

Since joining the steward, Cuiyun's life has become more and more difficult every day.Although Shen Yuwei is not favored, she is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion after all.As her dowry maid, Cuiyun only needs to take care of Shen Yutang's daily necessities, and has never done any dirty or heavy work.But after arriving at the steward's house, not only did she have to do a lot of work every day, but she was also harassed by the steward's elder brother.

When she really couldn't bear it, Cuiyun also thought about leaving.But she has no father, no mother, no relatives, no reason, the Hou Mansion can no longer accommodate her, there is no other place to go except for the steward.

Cuiyun thought that life was going to be like this, but after a while, the manager's attitude suddenly changed drastically. He not only treated her tenderly and considerately, but also promised to marry her soon.Cuiyun also felt that she was finally able to guard the clouds and see the moon, but she had experienced many changes after all, and she did not dare to trust and manage things wholeheartedly like before.

Sure enough, not long after, the steward said that he would take Cuiyun to climb the mountain to enjoy the scenery.The mountain they went to was in the outskirts of the capital. Although the scenery was beautiful, it was also steep.It can be considered that God has eyes, the night before leaving the house, Cuiyun had a stomachache in the middle of the night and got up to go to the toilet.Unexpectedly, when I went out, I found that the light was still on in the west wing.

There are three rooms in the steward's house, one for the elder steward, one for Cuiyun and the steward, and one for the steward. Sometimes the steward brings some widows back for the night.

Cuiyun thought that the steward was secretly hanging out with the young widow next door as before, so she couldn't help feeling disappointed.She wanted to ignore it, but unexpectedly, instead of those unbearable filthy sounds, there were two men's voices.

"Killing people will pay for their lives. That girl Cuiyun is no longer a slave. If she dies, how can the government find her alive? Don't let me get you involved." This was the voice of the elder brother in charge.

The steward whispered: "Brother, don't worry, my younger brother has already inquired about it in advance. Many people fall to their deaths every year on that mountain, and most of them are accidents. I just need to take her to a place where no one is around and push her down, and then I will talk about the accident." Luoya, without anyone noticing. The yamen is not so busy, Cuiyun is an orphan, as long as no one is chasing and complaining endlessly, they will not care how a bitch dies."

Hearing this, Cuiyun felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and even her abdominal pain disappeared.She squatted on the base of the wall and covered her mouth with all her strength so as not to make a sound.

"That's true." The elder brother in charge seemed to be persuaded, but he was still worried, and asked again: "Is the person you mentioned reliable? Didn't it be that he asked you to seduce Cuiyun when he was in the Hou's mansion?" Little girl, he also said that after the matter is completed, you will be the chief manager of the Marquis Mansion. But if the matter is completed, you will be kicked out. "

The steward said: "So this time my younger brother didn't ask for an errand from the Marquis's Mansion, but asked him for a more affordable one."

After saying this, Cuiyun heard a rustling sound in the room, as if she was holding something.Not long after, the elder brother in charge said excitedly: "Where did you get so many banknotes?"

"It was given by them." The steward said: "The 50 taels of silver bills are just a deposit. They said that after the matter is completed, there will be 150 taels left. Brother, with these silver as capital, what kind of business can we do with our brothers' brains?" If you can’t stand out, why do you need to be a cow or a horse for those big families and be driven by others?”

Hearing that there was so much money, the elder brother in charge was really moved, "You mean, with this money, even if you don't do business, buying a few shops is enough for the two of us. Hey, that little girl Cuiyun is still She was a bit pretty, so it's a pity to die like this. You were the same back then, you didn't want to marry her, and you lived alone, and you wouldn't let me touch you, otherwise you would make me happy."

"I don't want you to touch her. Of course I have my reasons. After all, she came from the Hou family. If there is too much trouble, no one will look good." We are rich, what kind of women do we want?"

"That's the reason." Thinking of the beautiful life in the future, the elder brother in charge instantly lost all complaints.He looked at the steward and joked, "Second brother, you swore to God that you would marry that girl, and now you have repented, aren't you afraid that she will come back to you after being a ghost?"

The steward said disdainfully: "As long as she can help me make a fortune, I will definitely marry her tablet back and offer it up when I am prosperous, and I will definitely not wrong her."

……

Hearing this, Wang Qi asked, "Who paid the steward to kill Cuiyun?"

"I don't know." Zhao Jing shook his head and said, "The steward didn't mention her name. Cuiyun only knew that she was from the Hou's mansion. She was afraid of being discovered by the steward, so she didn't dare to stay longer. The next morning, she simply cleaned it up. Some things quietly followed the steward out of the city, and then took advantage of the time to buy water and food for the steward and hired a carriage to escape, wandering all the way to Lingnan."

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "She still has some brains, otherwise she would have died without a whole body. From this point of view, Shen Yutang didn't intend to kill Cuiyun at the beginning, it should be because she found out that Granny Ma took you to escape, in order to avoid future troubles , and this is the way to kill people with the hand of the steward. Although Cuiyun ran out, I am afraid that the steward will not be so lucky."

"You're right." Zhao Jing said, "I've already checked. The steward Cuiyun mentioned died more than ten years ago. I heard that he got drunk and drowned with his brother. They don't have parents or family members, and No one questioned their deaths, and the case closed by accident."

Wang Qi smiled and said: "Although the method is old-fashioned, it is still watertight. Where is Cuiyun now?"

"I've already placed the three of them, mother and daughter, so you don't have to worry." Zhao Jing said, "By the way, grandma asked me to thank you. If you weren't careful, we might never have found Cuiyun. Grandma will be at home in a few days For a banquet, I would like to invite you and Wang Sheng, Xinglin Qixing and the others to come over."

Although she felt that Mrs. Ma would not approve of him because of this matter, but seeing Zhao Jing's expectant face, Wang Qi couldn't help slapping him, and said, "Okay, I will definitely go there."

Seeing that Wang Qi agreed, a smile finally appeared on Zhao Jing's face.

I encountered bad things today, and I feel that life is really not going to be smooth sailing. It always catches you off guard and tests your bottom line without a limit, making you feel that there is no worst but worse.Therefore, when people are alive, they really alternate between falling down and getting up again.
