Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 96 The past is shocking, and he sacrifices himself to save him (6)
"Then...then what should we do?" Lin Yufang was completely flustered, suddenly lost her backbone, and looked confused and at a loss.

Qiu Jia pondered for a while, and then said: "Now we have to wait, wait for your father to bring people to catch the rebels."

Lin Yufang had no idea at all and could only nod.

"Well, for now, that's the only way to go."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a broken window, and a man in black rushed in with a sword.Both Qiu Jiashi and Lin Yufang were startled, they were boudoir girls, they had never seen such a scene before, they were so frightened that their faces paled.

"You, who are you?" Qiu Jia asked calmly, holding Lin Yufang behind her, trying to restrain the fear in her heart.

The man in black snorted coldly, "Ask Lord Yan." He raised his sword and stabbed at him.

Just at this moment, footsteps sounded outside, followed by exclamations.

"No, the assassin broke into the lady's room."

"Rush in quickly, save Miss." This is the voice of Master Lin.

And inside the room, when the cold sword was about to pierce Qiu Jia's chest.Lin Yufang suddenly pushed Qiu Jia away and stood in front of her.

呲——

The sound of the sword piercing into the flesh, the blood instantly soaked the clothes, and Lin Yufang's face immediately turned pale.At the same moment, the door was knocked open, and Qiu Zhongqing rushed in first.

"Brother Qing..." Lin Yufang's pained eyes lit up leisurely.

A large group of people rushed in behind, chasing and shouting.Seeing that the assassination failed, the assassin immediately withdrew his sword and fled through the window.Master Lin immediately ordered his eldest son to lead his men to chase him out.

The sword was drawn so fiercely that blood splashed out immediately.Lin Yufang let out an exclamation, and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Qiu Jia was pushed into the dressing table by Lin Yufang just now, the accident happened only in an instant, and she had no time to stop it.Seeing that Lin Yufang was injured trying to save her, she immediately tried to get up.But Qiu Zhongqing was one step ahead of her, and subconsciously embraced Lin Yufang who was crumbling.

"Little sister."

The anxious call came, and Lin Yuzhi rushed in, just in time to see this scene.

The sky gradually ended, the setting sun sprinkled half of the sky, and the orange-red rays poured down heavily through the window, illuminating Qiu Mingyue's clear mocking smile.

This era pays the most attention to women's fame. At that time, the eldest lady, a young lady who had not left the cabinet, fell into the arms of the elder in full view. Her reputation was ruined, and she could only marry the elder in this life.

Hehehe, that's it.No wonder, no wonder the old matriarch always tolerated the eldest lady.No wonder the eldest lady is so arrogant and domineering, the old matriarch still hasn't taken back her right to give in.No wonder the old matriarch was so angry that day when the old man said in anger that he wanted to divorce his wife.

The grace of saving lives is greater than the sky.

The old lady is a person who must repay her kindness, otherwise, it would be impossible to make a marriage contract with grandma for children because of the kindness of taking care of grandma and mother back then.It's just the kindness of taking care of a doctor, how can it compare with the kindness of saving one's life in a critical moment?What's more, how could the Lin family's century-old family allow the Elder Master to be irresponsible for ruining his daughter's reputation?Therefore, even though the Eldest Master was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to break his engagement promise with Shen Shi and marry the Eldest Lady instead.

Qiu Mingyue took a deep breath, calmed down her agitation, and said, "I see."

The old lady moved her lips, as if hesitating.After pondering for a while, he sighed again: "Mingyue, although what happened back then was not what I wanted, but God's will tricks people, so I also..."

"Grandmother." Qiu Mingyue suddenly raised her head, her eyes were as clear as water.

"Where was the assassin back then, did you catch him?"

The old lady was taken aback for a moment, and quickly understood what she meant.He sighed, "I got it."

Qiu Mingyue frowned slightly, and the old lady shook her head.

"I know what you're suspecting." She paused, and said, "Although your mother is a bit aggressive, she is not a treacherous person. Besides, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, so even if she was a little If you think carefully, how can you have such calculations?"

Qiu Mingyue pursed her lips, "Why did Mrs. Xue Guohou come so coincidentally at that time? Don't grandma find it strange?"

The old matriarch sighed again, "I've thought about what you said, but—" her eyes became a little darker, "but the assassin is indeed the subordinate of the second prince who failed to seize the throne."

Qiu Mingyue said again: "Back then, my grandfather and grand master supported the princelings together, why was it that Lin's mansion was assassinated, but Qiu's mansion was safe and sound?"

The old matriarch said: "At that time, the rebellion had just ended, and the capital was still not safe. Many mansions were guarded by court soldiers. Your grandfather was the prince's teacher, and he was especially kind. At that time, Taishi Lin was only a secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Knowing government affairs is naturally not as highly regarded as your grandfather. Besides, the assassin actually came to assassinate your grandfather. After wandering outside the gate of the Qiu Mansion for many days but failed to succeed, that day happened to be a time when we were traveling and wanted to assassinate him together in the Lin Mansion. Your grandfather and Lord Lin. Therefore, the Lin family is implicated by the Qiu family."

Qiu Mingyue bowed her head in silence, the old matriarch said sadly: "Mingyue, I know you are smart, and you should know about these court affairs even if I don't tell them."

Qiu Mingyue looked calmly, "I'm just curious, since the assassin is determined to assassinate grandfather and Taishi Lin, he must not be caught so easily."

"That's because..." the old matriarch's gaze became dark, "This was a plan planned by your grandfather and the emperor in advance."

"What?" Qiu Mingyue looked at the old lady in surprise.

The old matriarch was silent for a while, and then said: "The emperor always knew that the remnants of the treason had not been eradicated, so he discussed with your grandfather to dig a trap and lure the snake out of the hole. That's why what happened that day happened. It seems that we went to the Lin mansion to retire, In fact, the emperor had already sent people to secretly surround the Lin residence. As long as the assassins appeared, they would all be surrounded and suppressed. It was precisely because of that incident that Mr. Lin was promoted to grand master. After that, there were unfavorable events in Beijing. Rumors about your mother. Hey! So many people saw what happened that night, they couldn’t hide it even if they wanted to. That’s why your father married your mother.”

Qiu Mingyue lowered her eyes and remained silent.There seems to be nothing unusual about this matter, not even a single loophole.It seems that it is justifiable for the eldest lady to block the sword for the prince, and for the elder master to subconsciously hug her.No one is suspicious.In other words, her previous guess was completely wrong.

She sat there in a daze, not even noticing that the sun was setting and the sky was falling.A few cigarettes rose from the copper stove with gilded gold and animal patterns in the house, which blinded her eyes and made her heart in a trance for a moment.

"Grandmother today...why did you tell me this?" She turned her gaze to the old lady.For the first time, she couldn't see through this old lady with a loving face but an equally scheming heart.She didn't know how much the old lady knew about today's events.I don't know whether the old matriarch is beating her today or persuading her.
