Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 560 Secrets of the past, many crimes (5)
The old lady looked at her for a long while, sighed, and gave a wry smile.

"Mingyue, it's hard to bear with you for so long. Well, I also want to know. What happened back then."

Her expression was calm and desolate, with memories and melancholy in her eyes.

"I only vaguely guessed about what happened back then, and I don't know very well. Since you have investigated it clearly now, tell it. There are no permanent secrets in this world. Maybe I was wrong before. I thought I didn't care about it, If you don't worry about it, those things will always be forgotten. Now, after many years, you still brought it up again."

The old lady shook her head, "God's will cannot be violated."

Qiu Mingyue's eyes moved, seeing the tired look on the old matriarch's face, she pursed her lips, suddenly stopped looking at her, and said in a clear voice: "Grandmother must know that back then you and grandfather took daddy to the Lin Mansion Apologies for breaking off the engagement, what happened that night was not a coincidence."

The eldest lady was stiff all over, and the elder suddenly raised his head.

"Mingyue, what are you talking about?"

Qiu Mingyue didn't look at her, but only stared at the eldest lady, her eyes were lonely and cold.

"I said, the person who assassinated my grandmother back then was actually arranged by her and her sister. No, perhaps Grand Master Lin was involved in it. After all, how could two boudoir girls know thieves and bandits?"

"what?"

The old man was startled.

The last bit of hope that the eldest lady tried to support was shattered, and her body fell limply to the ground.Nanny Zhou behind her exclaimed, and immediately went to help her.

"lady."

Da Furen's face was pale, she was wearing a red skirt with long sleeves, her hair was full of emerald jewels, and her whole body was as exquisite as pearls, which made her complexion even paler.

Qiu Mingyue looked at her coldly and began to talk about what happened back then.

"I remember what my grandmother once said. At that time, the emperor was not long after he ascended the throne, the court was unstable, and there were still rebels. On that day, you and your grandfather took father to the Lin Mansion for two purposes. The first is to apologize for regretting the marriage. The second Second, the emperor has a secret decree, asking grandfather to lure out the rebels and catch them all."

The old lady nodded silently.

Qiu Mingyue didn't take her eyes off the eldest lady, and said: "A traitor appeared that night, right? And someone suddenly broke into the boudoir of the eldest lady who was still in the boudoir at that time, and wanted to assassinate you. It was the eldest lady who blocked the sword to save you." about you."

"Ah."

The old lady's eyelids moved, and she had vaguely guessed what was going on.

Qiu Mingyue slowly looked away, looking at the elder.Then it fell on the old lady.

"Then grandma knew that Master Lin at that time was also aware of the emperor's attention."

The eldest lady trembled, the elder was startled, and the old matriarch remained calm.

Qiu Mingyue smiled suddenly, "Grandmother knew, right? Maybe she didn't know it at the time, but she learned about it from her grandfather half a month ago."

The old lady's face darkened, "Yes, I know."

There was unprecedented panic in Da Furen's dead eyes.Because of Liansi's words just now, she has already dealt the most intense psychological trauma to her.She couldn't keep her calm anymore, and now she saw the old lady gave an affirmative answer, how could she keep her calm?
A plan to kill the heart!

This was Qiu Mingyue's last and most ruthless move against the eldest lady.

She took out a letter from her bosom, the letter paper was yellowed, obviously it had been stored for many years.

"This is the letter Mr. Lin wrote to the village owner in Qingling, Hualanzhou." Feng Qingli told her that those so-called traitors had been wiped out long ago.That group of people, perhaps not traitors, should be the forces of other parties.The emperor may have noticed it, but he just used his eyesight to clear the obstacles.Taishi Lin, on the other hand, took advantage of this incident to reach his mother.

It's actually very simple, the person who assassinated the old lady was the leader of the cottage.That person was said to have owed Lord Lin a life back then. Although he was a thief, he was also very kind and righteous. He used the lives of all the people in the cottage to repay Master Lin.

Lin Yufang wanted to be the eldest wife of the Qiu Mansion, Master Lin wanted to be a first-rank official, and Lin Yuzhi wanted to marry into the Hou Men's mansion.However, with the official position of the Lin family at that time, this was simply impossible.

Lin Yufang has a head but no brains, but Master Lin is indeed as shrewd as a fox, plus Lin Yuzhi who has a deep heart.The father and daughter conspired to accompany Lin Yufang to perform a bitter trick, which not only allowed Lin Yufang to save the old lady with her own life at a critical moment, but also made the old lady feel grateful to her.When the old man rushed in with everyone, she fainted in the old man's arms, and Lin Yuzhi just walked in with someone.

As for Taishi Lin, he was meritorious in exterminating the rebels, so he should be appointed an official and a noble.

The status of the Lin family has risen, and Lin Yuzhi has enough status to marry into Xue Guohou's mansion naturally.

This pile, piece by piece, can be said to be arranged exquisitely and delicately.

The old matriarch looked at the letter and didn't reach out to take it for a long time, as if immersed in the long memories.

The Elder's body was stiff, and he also looked at the letter with storms gathering in his eyes.

The eldest lady was already drenched in cold sweat and lost her mind, how could she still have the strength to refute?

Aunt Yun has been sitting quietly, but now she is staring at the letter in Qiu Mingyue's hands, her eyes are no longer calm and gentle, but the storm is hidden.

Shen suddenly said, "Mingyue, put it away."

She is not an ignorant woman. If this incident breaks out, it is tantamount to the crime of deceiving the king.Although the old man and the old lady didn't know about it at the beginning, but now the Qiu Mansion and the Lin Mansion have married, and they are both prosperous and ruined.The crime of deceiving the emperor can kill the nine clans.

What's more, the old man clearly knew the truth in the end, but still didn't tell it, which added to the crime.

In order to bring down the eldest lady, there is no need to pay the price of hundreds of lives in the entire Qiu Mansion.

As expected, Qiu Mingyue withdrew her hand, but the elder suddenly reached out and took the letter.

The eldest lady was shocked suddenly.

"master."

Shen called out.

The old man did not stop, and removed the envelope in two or three strokes. His eyes lingered on the yellowed letter paper, and he closed his eyes after a while, his fingers trembling faintly.

Qiu Mingyue knew that the Elder Master would definitely not be able to bear this blow.When he fell in love with Shen Shi back then, they were originally a match made in heaven.Because of that incident, he was forced to marry Mrs. Lin...

Now that the truth is revealed, how can he accept it?
The room was suddenly quiet, even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.The sun was shining outside the window, but there seemed to be a layer of frost lingering inside the house, which would not melt for a long time.

"Where did you get this letter?"

The elder's voice was low and hoarse, but unexpectedly calm.

Qiu Mingyue thought, there is nothing better than this for the calm after the storm.
