Sui Sui Jianing

Boyanghou Mansion.

"Mother, what are you looking for? What is missing?" Shen Hanyu sat on the round stool and looked at Liu Shi in puzzlement.

Bo Yanghou sat on the other side of the kang table, his thick eyebrows frowned, "If it's really valuable, it's better to report to the officials and let the Jindu Mansion arrest people, than to find a needle in a haystack by ourselves. If it's not valuable, let's forget it. The marriage between Hao Yu'er and Princess Rand."

Mrs. Liu clutched her handkerchief tightly, her eyes wandered, and she shook her head after a while: "It's not a valuable thing, don't worry about it, Master Hou, go and do your work."

Hearing that her tone was wrong, Bo Yanghou held her hand, "I didn't mean to reprimand you, but I just went to war for a maidservant. It's a joke to spread the word, what if King Lu is dissatisfied and refuses to agree to this marriage? "

Liu Shi forced a smile, "What did Lord Hou say? Of course I understand that you are doing it for Yu'er's sake. I'm just a little tired and want to sleep for a while."

Bo Yanghou looked at her carefully, and seeing that her face was really ugly, he hurriedly said, "What's wrong? Do you want to ask Doctor Bai to come and see?"

"Don't bother him, the concubine's body is the best I know, it's just that I'm a little dizzy from not sleeping well, and I'll be fine after a night of sleep."

"Then you have a good rest. I still have something to do with the government office. I'll deal with it first, and I'll see you when I come back."

Marquis Boyang got up reluctantly, Liu Shi smiled at him, said a few soft words and managed to send him away.

Before leaving, Boyanghou asked Shen Hanyu to take good care of Liu Shi.

Shen Hanyu agreed repeatedly, and then closed the door, his face darkened.

He walked back to the inner room with heavy steps, sat down in the position of Marquis Boyang just now, stared at Mrs. Liu and asked in a low voice: "Mother, tell me the truth, Lingxi, what exactly did you steal?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Liu's guilty expression was too obvious, or in other words, she didn't intend to hide it in front of Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu's heart sank, "You can fool me more than you can fool me."

Liu Shi smiled wryly, "I didn't intend to lie to you either."

She held Shen Hanyu's hand with both hands, as if holding a life-saving straw, "Yu'er, help your mother, you must catch Lingxi! Don't let her leave Jindu alive!"

Shen Hanyu guessed that things were not that simple, but he didn't expect that it would involve human life, and his expression became more serious.

"What's going on? How can I help you if you don't tell me? It's not easy to pay for murder, especially in the current chaotic situation. If you are not careful, you may be regarded as an accomplice of the southern Xinjiang assassin. Why do you have to kill her?" No reason?"

The strength in Liu's hand suddenly increased, with tears in her eyes, she stared at Shen Hanyu firmly, and said in a breathy voice: "Because she doesn't die, you and I will have to die!"

Shen Hanyu's heart trembled, "What did you say?"

The secret that had been concealed for 20 years finally could no longer be concealed, Liu took a trembling breath, regretfully beautified what happened back then and told Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu was struck by lightning after listening, unable to recover for a long time, he didn't listen to what Liu said later.

"... Now that she has stolen the nanny's memorial tablet, who knows if she will go to the people of the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion? If the people of the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion find out the clues, we are all finished, Yu'er, you must Catch her as soon as possible, mother begging you!"

Liu couldn't help crying, "There is also your unborn brother or sister, she is still so young and has not yet been born, do you have the heart to watch your mother and her die?"

These words pierced Shen Hanyu's sensitive heart. He brushed away Liu Shi's hand and stood up, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time, "Then have you ever thought about me? Ah? Mom, why didn't you think of it when you did those things back then?" today?"

Liu Shi was stunned by the question, she fell down on the couch and looked at him blankly.

"I... I had no other choice. What could I do then? The Liu family was in decline. If I didn't hold on to your father, I would have to marry a local rich gentry in Boyang. You also know the vulgar and despicable people in that small place. Man, I am not reconciled!"

Liu Shi collapsed and covered her face.

Shen Hanyu also wanted to cover his face, he was shameless.

I thought that I was the son of Boyanghou, even if he was born in the second wife, but there was no son and half daughter left behind, so he is the only seedling, so he can inherit the title.

But now his mother told him that he was just a bastard whose biological father was unknown.

"Hehehehe—" Shen Hanyu laughed suddenly, first in a low voice, then the laughter became louder and more stern, Liu's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to cry.

She looked at Shen Hanyu in fear, not daring to say a word.

After a long while, Shen Hanyu laughed enough, lowered his head, his handsome face was hidden in the dark and could not be seen clearly, Liu called tremblingly: "Yu'er..."

The veins on the back of Shen Hanyu's hands popped out, trying to suppress something.

After being silent for a while, he turned around and took a deep look at Liu Shi, "I will go to the Second Prince for help, but I can't find it, and there is nothing I can do about it. The two of you know, otherwise, no one can protect you!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without any regrets.

Looking at his indifferent back, Liu fell on the kang table and wept bitterly.

……

After Chu Wuhen returned to the mansion, he rested for a few days, and then officially went back to court. The emperor called him to the imperial study room and asked him a few words to confirm that his health was indeed all right, and gave him a new task.

"The envoy of the Zhou Kingdom is going to enter Jindu in a few days. You and the people from the Ministry of Rites will pick it up together. Be sure to bring him here properly, and nothing will go wrong."

The emperor looked at Chu Wuhen closely, and the worry in his eyes could be seen clearly.

Chu Wuhen immediately understood that the Southern Border Assassin, who was like a tarsus maggot, had already left an indelible shadow in His Majesty's heart.

"The minister obeys the order."

Looking at his calm and resolute face, the emperor felt a little relieved, and gave him a few more instructions to let him go.

When Chu Wuhen was going out, he happened to see Wei Jiuyuan approaching, his eyes met, Wei Jiuyuan slightly hooked his lower lip, "Lord Chu."

Chu Wuhen cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the Second Highness."

"Master Chu's complexion is rosy, and he is proud of the spring breeze. It seems that the injury is almost healed. Congratulations."

Wei Jiuyuan glanced over him, and landed on the sword at his waist.

Chu Wuhen straightened his body and said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

"I still have something to do, let's take a step first and say goodbye."

He didn't intend to tell Wei Jiuyuan that they were destined not to be friends, so there was no need to waste time.

Wei Jiuyuan didn't keep him either, and went to the imperial study with a slight nod.

After walking a few steps, Chu Wuhen suddenly thought of something, frowned, and turned around to take a look.

Xin Zhi who came to meet him was puzzled, "What are you looking at, Master?"

Chu Wuhen came back to his senses, "The second prince was punished and grounded, and he came out after less than a month."

Xin Zhi was taken aback, "Yes, why?"
