Rudonghai

Chapter 189
Otherwise, how did Ji Jiaqian's previous husband die? Others thought he died of a serious illness, but Ji Keran knew it all. It was Ji Jiaqian who killed him slowly with chronic poison!
Who let that man accidentally overhear Madam Hou and Ji Jiaqian's words, and know that the person next to her pillow is not An Guohou's biological daughter at all.

The scholar admitted his death, and planned to tell An Guohou, but was coaxed by Ji Jiaqian, and drank the poison he had prepared long ago under the tenderness of his sweet wife, and fell into a coma.

The medicine was delivered every day, and the soup and medicine poured down also leaked.

After a long time, within a few years, the scholar couldn't hold on and let go.

The secret about Ji Jiaqian's life experience rotted in the scholar's stomach in the end, and when he was buried, it rotted under a pile of yellow mud.

Ji Keran had no sympathy for this stupid scholar. If he hadn't shown nostalgia and affection for Ji Jiaqian at the beginning, and his appearance was similar to his biological father, he might have followed in his footsteps.

Ji Jiaqian's methods are vicious, and Mrs. Hou is behind her to make suggestions. Ji Keran understands that she can't act rashly.

But he didn't understand, since Ji Jiaqian got the key, why did she leave here in a hurry?

He thought of the boudoir in the secret room, maybe he was still careless that day and failed to discover the secret?
There was a glint of light in Ji Keran's eyes, and there was an absurd thought in his heart.

The secret room in the hot spring village is just a deception, to deceive people on the bright side, but secretly, maybe the real treasure is hidden in another place, and Ji Jiaqian already knows the exact location!

He thought for a while, wrote a crooked line of words on the paper with his right hand, folded it, sealed it with wax, and handed it to the confidant guard outside: "Send it to Qihuixiang, the last family, there is a man named Zhuang , just tell him that it is enough to leave it to Lord Qi."

The guard responded and quickly delivered the letter.

This is a person from the rivers and lakes that Ji Keran accidentally rescued a few years ago, and he promised to return his favor.

Now there is no one who can use it at hand. This Jiang Hu person has no interest in the imperial court and likes to travel around.If it wasn't for repaying favors, he might not have been able to find someone after staying in Beijing for the past few years.

Within an hour, Ji Keran waited for the other party.

This person's surname is Qi, and his martial arts are outstanding, especially the technique of restraining breath.He was worried that the people around him would have Ji Jiaqian's eyeliner, or Mrs. Hou's hidden stake, so he didn't dare to use it at will, so he could only waste this debt of favor.

I heard that they were going to follow Ji Jiaqian to find out suspicious things, especially in places other than the Hou's Mansion recently, the Jiang Hu people feel quite boring.

But as long as he repays this debt of favor, he will have nothing to do, and he can leave Beijing to go to other places, so he agreed.

Seeing his leaving figure, Ji Keran was quite satisfied.

Don't ask too much, don't listen too much, just obey orders, and if you agree, it will definitely be done. If he is not a river and lake person who lives in nowhere, he really wants to be under his command.

It's not that Ji Keran didn't think about asking this Jianghu man surnamed Qi to find the thief who attacked him, but finding the treasure house is more important than this matter.

He once heard An Guohou mention that that nobleman had many treasures in his hands, but the most worthwhile thing was the dozens of thin sheets of paper hidden in a brocade box.

It records the handles of the ministers in the court. As long as you get this thing, you can hold the ministers in your hands.

For many years, An Guohou tried his best to find this thing, but he only found out about the nanny.It's a pity that when I found it, the nanny only revealed a few words, and died not long after.

Presumably a servant who doesn't know many secrets, kept it until the end before letting go, probably not only because of the nobleman's confession, but also because of the nanny who spared her life.

If it was too early, let alone her, the whole family would not even want to live.

Wen Ruqi is a fool, she threw herself into a trap with Xiao Xilin, and was complacent, thinking that holding a secret in her hands would bring benefits, and even squeezed out Gu Yunxiao and became the mistress of Xiao's mansion.

It's wishful thinking, now people don't know where Mrs. Zhen Guohou is imprisoned, and Ji Keran has nothing to worry about such a stupid girl.

At the beginning, he planned to arrest him and interrogate him, but he missed it. He lost the secret guard he had cultivated with great difficulty, and was almost caught by Xiao Xilin.

Now that Xiao Xilin helped to deal with this girl, she didn't need to do it herself, she should shut her up completely.

Wen Ruqi's face was pale, and her clothes were dirty. She had been locked in the wing room for half a month.

Even though he left the dark house, he was also grounded, and he couldn't go anywhere except this small wing.

Four stout women were guarding outside, and two stern-faced mothers were watching inside. Even if Wen Ruqi went out to pay respects, there would be a woman following her, who would not leave her for a moment.

The food delivered was very little, mostly porridge and side dishes, obviously not intended to fill her up, lest she think of bad ideas, or gather strength to escape.

Wen Ruqi felt that life would be worse than death. In the past half month, even hot water was not delivered, and she was not treated like a human being.

Her whole body stinks, her expression is numb, thinking that Mrs. Zhen Guohou plans to lock herself up for the rest of her life?
Wen Ruqi clenched her teeth and didn't reveal much.She didn't believe that Mrs. Zhen Guohou would not ask, but now she was just deliberately letting herself go, she would always let her out!
The two women guarding outside came in and said coldly: "Madam wants to see you, follow me."

The woman behind frowned and said: "Don't let her wash it, so as not to smoke Madam?"

"It's okay, it's better to stay far away." The old woman grabbed Wen Ruqi's arm and walked out. The latter stumbled to the yard behind, and saw Mrs. Zhen Guohou sitting at the stone table, next to a young woman combing her hair. Gu Yunxiao with a bun.

Wen Ruqi's eyes moved slightly, Gu Yunxiao is already married and has become Mrs. Xiao?

Mrs. Zhen Guohou seemed to understand what Wen Ruqi was thinking, and said with a sneer, "As you can see, the third girl is already Lin'er's wife, so don't think about it."

After listening, Wen Ruqi looked at Gu Yunxiao with poison in her eyes,

Gu Yunxiao didn't care about her eyes, and said lightly: "The person sent by your lord to investigate in Luoshui has returned. Miss Wen's father was not framed by someone, but accepted bribes. The evidence is solid. It should have been escorted. He is awaiting trial at Dali Temple in central Beijing."

But Wen Ruqi's biological mother bribed Luoshui's government, and now only let the officials stay outside Wen's house, not letting the Wen family step out.

Wen Ruqi came to Beijing because her biological mother mentioned Marquis Zhen Guo and Xiao Xilin was her fiancé-in-law.

Otherwise, how could the government office in Luoshui turn a blind eye and wait for Wen Ruqi to come to Beijing to rescue soldiers?
It's a pity that Wen Ruqi tried so hard to go to Beijing, but in the end she couldn't marry Zhen Guohou, let alone Xiao Xilin.

Without his two backers, Mr. Wen completely lost all hope.

Wen Ruqi's pupils shrank, she fell to the ground, and murmured: "No, you can't do this to me. My mother told me that she is Zhen Guohou's adopted sister and the old lady's adopted daughter. Help? If you spread the word, you won't be afraid of being poked in the back?"

"I'm really not afraid. My mouth grows on other people's faces. How can I take care of them one by one?" Madam Zhen Guohou said nonchalantly, "You might as well care about yourself and go back to Luoshui to be with your mother." Dear, should you stay in Beijing and wait for your father to be escorted over?"

After hearing this, Wen Ruqi showed despair and forbearance on her face. She knelt in front of Mrs. Zhen Guohou, lowered her head and said, "Please also ask Madam to say a few words in front of Zhen Guohou. I don't ask for anything else. It is enough for father to leave his life behind. Before going to Beijing, mother once said that as long as she can pass this hurdle, she will completely break off relations with Marquis Zhen Guo, and she will never use the marquis' mansion as an issue in the future. "

Mrs. Zhen Guohou said expressionlessly: "If you came to Beijing and said so from the beginning, I might think about it. But now, everything is too late. You pestered Lin'er first, and you almost killed the third girl. Do you think I'll just let it go? You even pleaded with Zhen Guohou, don't you know that Mr. Wen has accepted so many bribes in private, even if you have three heads, it's not enough to cut off?"

Doesn't the Wen family think that no matter what they do, they always have Zhen Guohou as their backer, so they are unscrupulous.

Didn't they figure it out that those who curry favor with the Wen family were all after Zhen Guohou?
If the Marquis of Zhen Guo speaks out to help, it seems that he acquiesced in their actions, and deliberately conceals it like an accomplice. If the emperor finds out, will he be able to keep his Marquis?
It is impossible for Zhen Guohou to take such a big risk just for a mere righteous sister.

Besides, the Wen family's current fate is not their own fault, because they can blame others?
Wen Ruqi looked at the two of them, knowing that they would never help, she gritted her teeth and stood up: "Since madam refuses to help, then there is no need for me to stay here. Madam please let me go, at least let me see you Daddy's last look."

Presumably mother also came to Beijing with her father, her eyes were slightly red, thinking that the family would soon lose the pillar, and it would be impossible to return to Luoshui, and she couldn't help feeling sad.

Wen Ruqi walked out slowly, and Mrs. Zhen Guohou did not make a sound from the beginning to the end, and no one stopped her from leaving Zhen Guohou's mansion.

Gu Yunxiao waited for her to leave, and frowned, "Is it inappropriate for Auntie to let Miss Wen go?"

"It's inappropriate to keep her any longer." Mrs. Zhen Guohou patted the back of her hand and explained: "Everyone knows that Lord Hou has such a relative who came all the way to join him. At first we didn't I know, I kept her here. Now that the truth has come out, Mrs. Wen will be escorted to Beijing, and keeping her, doesn't that mean that the Hou Mansion wants to protect Mrs. Wen?"

Such sewage should not be poured on Zhen Guohou.

Gu Yunxiao suddenly realized: "Auntie asked Miss Wen to leave alone through the gate to let people know that she has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion?"

"That's right, that's exactly the case. Instead of throwing people out of the Hou's mansion viciously, it's better to let this girl go out by herself. No one else can make a mistake. Her feet are on her legs. If she wants to leave, who can stop her?" Zhen Guo Madam Hou smiled, knowing that Gu Yunxiao was still young, and she had no elders to teach her, so she took care of many things, so that this girl could understand, and it would be easier for her to manage the back house in the future.

The ups and downs are not simple, and a slight mistake can easily be caught.This is especially true for Marquis Zhen Guo and the powerful Xiao Xilin.
