Chapter 107: The Confession (3)
Naturally, Ling Mengqi was unwilling to ask Lu Mingxuan for 20% of the dry stock for nothing. The so-called "dividend" of [-] taels a month from her before had already made him feel that he could not hold his head high in front of her, not to mention the [-]% now. dry stock?But seeing Lu Mingxuan's self-reproach and guilt, he knew that if he didn't pick up, she might get stuck in a corner when she went back, so he said, "If that's the case, then I'll be disrespectful, but I don't know anything about running a shop. I can only trouble Miss Xuan, and I can only sit back and enjoy it."

Sure enough, when Lu Mingxuan heard that he was willing to accept her share, the corners of her eyes and brows became a little more relaxed, as if she had rested a boulder on her body, and said with a smile: "I don't know anything about it either. Luckily there is shopkeeper Xiaochi, we Just wait to sit back and reap the rewards.”

I also have the mood and leisure to ask about other things, "By the way, what is the important matter that Ling Shixiong said? It's getting late, if I'm not in a hurry, I'll go back first, so as not to waste too much time, Danqing can't hide his lies."

Ling Mengqi naturally didn't want Lu Mingxuan to leave immediately, besides, he really had something important to tell her, because he said seriously: "This matter is really urgent, Miss Xuan might as well finish listening before leaving." As he spoke, he lowered his voice even more He raised his voice, "Didn't Ms. Xuan tell me that day, but she accidentally received news that Xiao Wu would fall off his horse when he was riding a horse in the suburbs of Beijing? I just wonder if the girl can tell me the exact source of the news. Now it seems that this is a big deal. There is something strange, the person behind the scenes must be found out, otherwise the enemy is in the dark and Xiao Wu is in the clear, who knows if Xiao Wu can save his life in such a situation next time?"

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but widen her eyes, and asked for a moment, "Brother Ling Shi, what does Brother Ling mean, is there a big story behind Fifth Brother's frightening incident this time?"

Ling Mengqi's eyes also widened: "Didn't the girl tell me that Xiao 53 would be shocked?" No matter how you look at her, it seems that she has completely forgotten this thing?
Lu Mingxuan smiled embarrassingly: "I forgot for a while... Brother Ling found something suspicious? I just heard someone say that in a daze that day. There is no way to verify who it is, and there is no clue. Brother Ling If you find any suspicious points or clues, you can follow the clues and find out the person behind the scenes."

While speaking, there was already a storm in her heart. She only knew that in her previous life, Lu Wenzhu died of a startled horse. She never thought that the startled horse might not be accidental but man-made. There were no rumors in the palace, and the old man, Lu Zhongmian, Princess Fuhui and others were all very shrewd. If there was something inside about Lu Wen's frightened horse, how could they be ignorant?
So although she told Ling Mengqi that something would happen to Lu Wenzhu on the [-]th of this month, she used a tone implying that someone would assassinate Lu Wenzhu, but in fact she did it to prevent Ling Mengqi from asking her the truth. How did she know about this, and she deliberately made an ambiguous attitude, otherwise there would be no waves without waves, she was a weak woman who was raised in a deep boudoir and did not have any influence of her own in the Duke's mansion, rashly How can people believe such words, she can't say that she is born again, so she can see the future?Of course, it turns out that Ling Mengqi trusts her more than she imagined!
But I didn't expect that Lu Wenzhu's death from the startled horse in his previous life had a lot of inside information. He was actually murdered by someone. Does this mean that after Lu Wenzhu's death, Princess Fuhui discovered her true identity was also premeditated? of? !I don't know who is the person behind the scenes, and what kind of deep hatred he has with Princess Fuhui's mother and son, so that they are so deliberately trying to kill their mother and son?And how did the person behind the scenes discover her true identity?
Even the person who knows such a secret matter, it can be seen that he will not be an outsider, but only an insider of the Duke's Mansion—as long as he thinks that there is such a person lurking in the dark, he will deliberately plan She, using her to attack and plot to murder Princess Fuhui's mother and son, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but shudder. After the shuddering, a bit of hostility and resentment grew up. It is your business to plot and murder Princess Fuhui's mother and son. Why do you use me as a tool? Do you know that because of your calculations, in the previous life, not only did I lose my life in vain, but my innocent child was also implicated, so that he didn't even have the chance to come to this world to take a look? ?Don't be complacent, I will definitely catch you and expose your true face in public, so that you will never want to use me as a tool again, and never want to influence my life again!

Lu Mingxuan almost gritted her teeth and secretly made up her mind, and then she listened intently to Ling Mengqi's words: "On the surface, Xiaowu's horse did just accidentally go crazy that day, so he couldn't control it, but I After looking for an opportunity to get on his horse, he noticed something unusual, the horse actually seemed to have symptoms of madness after eating madweed..."

"Crazy grass?" Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but lose her voice: "What is that thing? You can tell it's not a good thing once you hear it!"

Ling Mengqi nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's really not a good thing. As the name suggests, it is a weed that animals will go crazy like drunk people after eating, so it is also called 'drunken horse grass'. Animals eat this grass. Afterwards, I didn’t see any abnormality at the beginning, and it usually took about ten days to show up. Moreover, this grass only grows on dry highlands, and it is impossible to have it in the climate and terrain of the capital. The reason why I recognized it was because I went there when I was young. When I was at the nanny’s house, I saw it by chance in the nanny’s village, and I only found out after asking the nanny, but I didn’t expect that I would see this scene again in the capital this time. Strange!"

Lu Mingxuan remembered that the climate in Linzhou was very dry. Although Linzhou's state capital is located on flat land, it is famous for being surrounded by lofty mountains. She already believed Ling Mengqi's words, because she nodded and said: "It's really big. There is a strange thing, since the madweed is impossible to have in the capital, it can only be artificially obtained and secretly eaten by the horse. This is because the fifth brother will be able to ride the horse during this period of time, and he has made up his mind to take it. The fifth brother’s life! By the way, does the fifth brother know about this? Do the old man, the man, and the eldest princess know? And where is the crazy horse now? It’s a big deal. The person behind the scenes must be found out as soon as possible, so that he will be punished as he should be, otherwise, there is only one who can be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. What about the other party's conspiracy?"

Ling Mengqi said: "The horse was so mad that it couldn't be controlled at all. I was dragged and ran for several miles. I saw that it was about to jump down the cliff, so I took the risk of jumping off the horse, and then the horse jumped. Into the abyss, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it. Now the only clue is to check if there is anyone or something suspicious in the stable, and then follow the vines to check down. I have already told Xiao Wu, let He went to investigate. Originally, I planned to report the matter to the old Duke and the Duke, but Xiao Wu said that he didn't want to startle the snake, and he didn't want the elders to worry about him. He asked me not to report it, and let him investigate quietly first. It would be the best if we can find out, but if we can’t find out, then we can report to the old Duke and the Duke, and it’s not too late to ask them to take action.”
