The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 40 Magpie Bridge Immortal (9)

Qiu'er and Ye'er opened their mouths wide in surprise. Seeing that she recognized her clearly, Mr. Lang was a little suspicious: "You have a deep relationship with Young Master Wei, how could you write such a letter?"

"Although I wrote this letter, it's not for Xiuhong." Zhou Zhi'er turned pale, looking at Wei Rutao and said, "Father, this letter is my draft, so there is neither title nor signature on the letter."

Mr. Lang glanced at the paper again, and said, "That's right, there are neither of these things in the letter. But it's hard to say that the person who wrote the letter deliberately omitted it in order to prevent people from seeing it."

"This was originally a letter from me to Qiu'er," Zhou Zhi'er tried her best to calm down the panic in her heart, "but why...how did it end up in Xiuhong's hands?"

When she said this, we all immediately remembered what she said at the back door of Wei's house. At that time, Wei Zhiyan refused to accept Qiu'er, and Qiu'er left Wei's house in shame and anger. Zhou Zhier felt sorry for Qiu'er, so she wrote a letter to call When Qiu'er came back, he wrote in a letter that he would persuade Wei Zhiyan to accept Qiu'er.Later, Qiu'er came back before the letter was sent, so Zhou Zhi'er did not send the letter.

But now this undelivered letter is in Xiuhong's hands.

"Do you remember, who sent this letter?" Zhou Zhi'er turned to ask Xiuhong's maid.

The maid's neck twitched: "You sent it yourself!"

Everyone present turned cold when they heard the words, Zhou Zhi'er couldn't control her emotions any longer, she rushed over and raised her hand to hit the maid, but she avoided her.Wei Rutao shouted coldly: "What are you going to do!"

Zhou Zhi'er turned around and said angrily: "I forgot where I put this letter, how could I send it to Xiuhong myself, she is blatantly framing me!"

Before Wei Rutao could answer, the servant girl answered, "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know that in your own mind. It was on the Qixi Festival not long ago, you came to our Wei family with a basket of needlework and thread to beg for a coincidence with the young mistress, and when you left, you didn't leave Take it away in a bamboo basket, our young mistress thought you accidentally left it behind, but when I opened it later, I found this letter was hidden among the layers of rags inside!"

"It turns out that I put the letter in the sewing basket!" Zhou Zhi'er was stunned by her words, and she was at a loss for a while, "I... I have forgotten this matter, who knows, I will bring it to Lang Home!"

Zhou Zhi'er wrote a letter to Qiu'er, promising Wei Zhiyan to accept her, but she didn't send the letter. Later, she casually put it in a sewing basket, and brought it to Lang's house during Qixi Festival, but happened to forget the basket. Lang family.Xiuhong found this letter after looking through the bamboo basket, and mistakenly thought that it was left by Zhou Zhier on purpose, and wanted to accept herself as a side room for Wei Zhiyan.Therefore, when Wei Zhiyan appeared at the back door of Lang's house, she thought he was looking for her, so she led him into her room.

The note that Zhou Zhier wrote on Qixi Festival last year went wrong and got into Wei Zhiyan's hands this year, leading him to the back door of Lang's house; and the letter she forgot at Lang's house on Qixi this year misled Xiuhong to lead Wei Zhiyan to the back door of Lang's house. in my own room.This series of events coincided to the point of horror.

The people present also fell into silence after hearing Zhou Zhier's defense.If there is indeed someone planning this, it can only be that Zhou Zhier colluded with Ye Er, because both the note and the letter were written by her, and the note was dug out by Ye Er.But in fact, it was Zhou Zhier who had been asking the truth. If it was really her plan, why did she do this?
Wei Rutao had doubted her before in a fit of rage, but now the matter was too obvious, so he didn't quite believe it. He just froze for a while, and murmured: "Could it be that there is really some power in the dark that wants to make my Wei family suffer?" This catastrophe?"

Mr. Lang's family was also stunned for a while, and after hearing Wei Rutao's words, they also answered: "I don't believe that Young Mistress is going to harm Master Wei, what good will this matter do her? Wrong, and it really makes people feel chills in the back."

At this time, the moonlight is already westward, and the moonlight is as cool as water, and it seems to have a substance, and it can be touched by reaching out.Zhou Zhi'er looked up at the moon, and the moonlight illuminated her face extremely brightly. She stared at the moon with a strange expression for a while, but no one called her, and then she walked out of the Lang's courtyard slowly by herself. .

Seeing her going out, Ye'er and Qiu'er hurriedly followed her.Wei Rutao really didn't know what to say, so he bowed his hands to Lang Dong's house, and then took Zhou Bo out.The members of the Wei family all left at once, leaving only the members of the Lang family expressing their emotions in the courtyard. People kept whispering to each other, saying that this matter was too unimaginable and chilling.

I watched Zhou Zhi'er walk out, and felt surprisingly uncomfortable in my heart.The Qixi Festival was originally a good time for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet on the magpie bridge. The original intention of begging for cleverness was also for women to pray for ingenuity and a happy marriage. However, Zhou Zhier's two Qixi Festivals brought her husband to a dead end.

Although the matter may not have come from her original intention, the final result is already in front of her eyes, and the sadness in her heart can be imagined.Whose fault is this whole thing?Is it because she loves her husband deeply but wants to take a concubine for him?Or was it because of her selfishness that she didn't send that letter in the end?
If there is really an immortal on the magpie bridge, how can he watch all this happen?I also looked up at the moon, but the moon was silent with me.I sighed lightly, with a heavy heart, and asked Bu Ying, "You tried every means to pull me to watch this scene, what is the reason? I'm just a city patrol horse passing by here, no matter if it's with the Wei family or the Lang family, It doesn't matter at all."

Bu Ying also looked at me strangely, and said after a while, "Are you sure you have nothing to do with this matter? If it really has nothing to do with it, why did the missing iron plate of the Wei family appear on you?"

"It was just given to me by chance by a friend."

"By chance?" Bu Ying smiled slightly, "You never thought about why he gave you an inexplicable sign?"

My heart moved, "You mean, Ruan Lang specially gave me this iron plate? Do you know Ruan Lang?"

"I don't know. But this iron plate was originally intended for you. You only know that Ruan Lang became a small shopkeeper to find his missing father, but do you know that he is also looking for you at the same time?"

"Why are you looking for me? I'm not his father!" I was even more surprised, "Why do you say that, it seems that Ruan Lang knew that I was there before he saw me?"

"What's so strange, I knew you before I met you. And I also know that you are from the Wenling Wen family. Twenty years ago, the old man of the Wen family picked you from the tree with his own hands—you are a A child growing from a tree!"

"You even know this!" I cried out, "Who are you, and who is Ruan Lang?"

"Don't worry." Bu Ying stared at me with deep eyes, "Wei's business is not over yet, if you want to know anything, just look down quietly and you will know."

He suddenly mentioned my life experience and Ruan Lang. I always thought that my encounter with Ruan Lang was just a coincidence, but judging from the current situation, he has been looking for me.But if this is the case, why didn't he tell me that he was looking for me, but didn't say a word, but just silently handed the sign to me?

Could it be that his purpose of looking for me was only to hand over this sign?What is this dark sign, and why does Wei Rutao attach so much importance to it?Now it seems that it is not only Ruan Lang, but even Bu Ying is here to wait for me, but I am obviously an insignificant patrolling horse, what are these people going to do?
Also, the name of the eldest grandson of the Wei family is exactly the same as mine, why is that?
I was really at a loss when I thought about it, doubts in my heart were almost overflowing, but Bu Ying looked tight-lipped, with a line clearly written on his face: "Don't ask me, I won't say anything! "

I gave a wry smile in a dazed way, thinking that I couldn't beat the man opposite me, so I could only restrain myself, turned my head and left without saying a word, and Bu Ying followed behind me.We followed the Wei family back to the Wei house. When we arrived at the Wei house, Zhou Bo, who was walking at the end, still did not close the door, as if he knew that someone would come in later.

I glanced at Bu Ying, I didn't bother to ask him anymore, Bu Ying didn't take it seriously, turned back and walked into Wei's house, and closed the door on his own initiative.

When the group returned to Wei's house, they were all speechless. Zhou Zhi'er stood in the hall for a while, then talked to Wei Rutao, and went back to her room.Qiu'er and Ye'er wanted to follow her, but Zhou Zhi'er turned around and told them not to follow. Since she knew that the whole incident was caused by her two handwriting, she looked indifferent. Although Wei Rutao thought she was a little strange, he said Nothing came out, so I had to let her rest earlier.

Zhou Zhi'er turned around and saluted him, then walked into the backyard by herself.Wei Rutao watched her leave, and he himself looked tired, sitting in the chair in the hall without moving for a long time, with a dull expression, like a clay sculpture.He didn't speak, Zhou Bo and others in the hall naturally didn't dare to leave, and everyone didn't dare to breathe, as if they were walking on thin ice.

After a long time, Uncle Zhou couldn't help coughing lightly, he just woke up like a dream, waved to them and said: "Go back and rest, don't worry about me."

Zhou Bo and others didn't dare to say anything, they all bowed and left the hall, leaving only Wei Rutao in the hall with a miserable expression.He was old and lost his son, and watched him being thrown into the pond. At first, he thought there was something hidden in it, but after many investigations, it turned out that the matter fell on his daughter-in-law.

The coincidence was so outrageous that Zhou Zhi'er felt even more uncomfortable than him, so he couldn't say anything. Sitting slumped in the hall at this moment, there was naturally a miserable atmosphere spreading in the hall.I felt uncomfortable watching, and was about to speak, but Bu Ying pulled me, motioning me to keep quiet.

I looked back at him with a questioning look, but he shook his head and sat on a chair with his eyes closed. I didn't know what he was trying to do, so I sat down next to him and thought about it. After half a day, he almost fell asleep, and when he was in a daze, Uncle Zhou suddenly ran in all the way and shouted: "Master, there is a letter from the young mistress's natal family, saying that the mother-in-law is seriously ill and dying, please go back to Zhou's house as soon as possible!"

I woke up suddenly, opened my eyes and saw that the sky had become thinner at some point, Wei Rutao also stood up suddenly from the chair, shivered a bit, and asked, "Where's the patrolling horse delivering the letter?"

"Waiting in the front yard."

"Please come in quickly. Forget it, I'll go by myself." He said as he lifted the hem of his robe, and hurried out of the hall. Because he was too impatient, he almost tripped over the threshold. Uncle Zhou hurriedly walked out of the hall. Hold him up and lead him to the front yard together.Bu Ying and I looked at each other and naturally followed.

A man in his thirties was standing in the courtyard waiting, wearing a blue cloth bunt and carrying a bundle, as soon as he stood in the courtyard, his whole body exuded a dusty smell.The horses patrolling the city are all dressed in the same way, trying to be simple and simple. I looked at him from a distance, a little dazed, and almost thought I saw myself.Thinking of what the old man told me when I left Wen's house, I suddenly thought of something, my heart was shocked, and I turned my head to look at Bu Ying.When Bu Ying saw me looking at him, he kept his expression on his face and just signaled me to continue watching with his eyes.

Seeing Wei Rutao coming out, the patrolling horse hurried forward a few steps to greet him, Wei Rutao seemed to be very familiar with him, upon seeing him, he said: "It really is you, where is the letter from Madam Zhou?"

The patrolling horse took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Wei Rutao with both hands, and said, "I'm coming from Zhou's house, Mrs. Zhou probably won't be able to die, and I miss young mistress very much these days, so let me hurry to Wei's house Report the letter, please young mistress go back to Zhou's house as soon as possible, and meet the old lady for the last time."
