Chapter 673: A Terrible Guess
Chapter 673
In the fourth master's mansion in the capital, Li was wearing a flag suit with blue and white entwined branches on a white background, entered the house from the side door, and went directly to the main courtyard as soon as she entered the door, although she was extremely anxious to return to the East Courtyard to determine whether Hongyun's death was real, or just a deliberate arrangement by someone with a heart to sow discord, the Wulanala clan received with a difficult face, and only said a few words hastily, and then let her go back to the East Courtyard, which made the Li family who was lucky feel a little more uneasy.

Sure enough, the east courtyard was snow-white everywhere.
Because Hongyun is a junior, and he died early at this young age, so he did not stop the mortuary in the house, and found that he vomited blood and died in the early morning of the second day, the fourth master invited a reliable servant to do a simple examination, and then wrote a letter to ask for a decree, and sent it to Zhuangzi for burial.
“......”
When Li saw the plain white silk flowers swaying in the wind on the door plaque, he didn't come up in one breath, and fell softly into the arms of Mo Yaqi, who came to greet him, and it took a long time to slow down, grabbed Mo Yaqi's wrist hard, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who killed your brother?"
Mo Yaqi did what everyone should do at this time, and tried her best to support the crumbling Li family, turned her head to look at the group of servants who were following the Li family, and persuaded in a low voice: "Eniang, the wind is strong by the door, and there are many people, let's go in and talk!"
Li also knew that the door was not the place to speak, but Hongyun was her lifeline.
Along the way, even if she received a funeral letter from the house, she comforted herself in her heart, maybe all this was an arrangement that the Ulanala clan didn't want her to go back to the house, and she also planned to hand over the letter to the fourth master as soon as she came back, so that the fourth master would make the decision for her and punish the woman who dared to curse her child.
But she forgot that this funeral letter could be sent out casually, even if the Ulanala clan was completely stupid, they would not deceive her with such a lie that could be broken at the first poke, and put the handle in her hands.
People have the psychology of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, it is because of her ostrich-like mentality that she wants to escape the established facts, which automatically and spontaneously rationalizes these unreasonable places, comforting herself to return to the house, and the reality is like a slap in the face, so that she can no longer deceive herself.
Li Shi looked at the plain white silk flower next to the door plaque, took a deep breath, barely stood up straight, held Mo Yaqi's wrist with one hand, pressed his rapidly undulating chest with the other, and walked into the West Wing, the former residence of Hongyun in the East Courtyard.
Because he was reluctant to let Hongyun leave under his nose, even if there were spacious and independent cross-courtyards on the left and right sides of the east courtyard, but at the age when Hongyun should be moved to the front yard, Li still insisted that Hongyun live in the same courtyard with her, in the three west wings in front of the upper house.
It's a pity that the Hongyun she hoped to see as soon as she came back was long gone, replaced by a long table in the outer room of the wing, the spiritual seat with a black background and a gold carving with complicated lace, with Hongyun's ranking and name written on it.
At a glance, the Li family could no longer hold on.
Li Shi only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he fell to the ground with blood gushing up.
"Eniang!" Mo Yaqi cried and rushed to Li's side, hurriedly calling the people around her for help, helped the unconscious Li to lie down in the inner room of the upper room, and sent the palace maid in the courtyard to report to the Wulanala clan and invited the doctor on duty in the mansion to come over.
I don't know how long it took for Li to sit up in confusion in the midst of the medicinal fragrance.
"Master, you can be regarded as awake!" has been guarding the Li family's bedside is the Li family's former palace maid Huan'er, as soon as the little Li family fell, Mo Yaqi asked the Wulanala clan to transfer her and Pei'er, the two big palace maids trusted by the Li family, back, and at the same time sent the people around the little Li family clean, leaving only some old people when the Li family was in the mansion in the past.
As soon as Huan'er saw Li open his eyes, she threw herself in front of Li's bed with joy and tears.
"Huan'er, do you know how Hongyun didn't have it?" Li Shi was now full of Hongyun's death, opened his eyes, and asked anxiously when he saw Huan'er, the big palace maid who made her trust.
When Huan'er heard this, her face froze, and then she lifted the hem of her robe, and knelt in front of Li's bed with a pop, full of complex emotions of remorse and self-blame, and replied with a choked voice: "Master, the slave and maid have failed to live up to the trust of the master, and the slave and maid have not taken care of Brother Hongyun according to your instructions!"
"What the hell is going on?" Li didn't want to listen to Huan'er say these words at this time, she wanted to know who harmed her Hongyun, she knew that the things that Xiao Li did didn't really hurt Hongyun's body, and Hongyun was born to be tough and healthy, and he would definitely not be sick and without disasters, so Li was very sure that someone harmed Hongyun, as for who it was, she really couldn't guess, but Zuo was just those candidates.
Huan'er pursed her lips, choked again, and finally replied before Li urged again: " Back to the master's words, Brother Hongyun's affairs were done by Xiao Li Gege and Sui'er, Sui'er took refuge in Xiao Li Gege after you left, but Xiao Li Gege did not particularly trust her, so she has not been reused, and then somehow, that day Xiao Li Gege was ordered by the master to be confined in the courtyard, and ordered Su Peisheng to send her on the last ride, Sui'er was called in as the palace maid who served Xiao Li Gege's dressing, and it became a little strange when she came out......"
The most clever lies are nine points of truth, mixed with one point of falsehood, this is the experience that Mo Yaqi has learned from Concubine De Niangniang, the tried and tested ultimate tearing warrior.
Huan'er's words are exactly like this.
Of course, it's not that Huan'er lied intentionally, but the fact seems to be like this, plus Huan'er had doubts about Sui'er's loyalty before, so with Mo Yaqi's contributions, she took it for granted that Hongyun's death was blamed on Sui'er and Li Gege, completely ignoring the possibility that Mo Yaqi might have written and directed a bitter trick.
A party who thinks that what he says is the truth - Huan'er, a jealous woman who hates Li Gege to the extreme - Da Li, as soon as the two of them touched like this, Li believed Huan'er's words, of course, Li didn't believe Huan'er's words after listening to them, but asked Pei'er who came in with the medicine and Mo Yaqi who decocted the medicine herself, and then recognized what Huan'er said.
"Has the fourth master returned home?" If you want to say that the Li family can be regarded as a warrior, under such a big blow from the loss of his son, he was just depressed for a while, so he regained his spirits, took the bitter medicine sent by Pei'er, drank it into his stomach in a few gulps, turned his head to Huan'er and asked.
Huan'er hurriedly replied and took the medicine bowl handed over by Li.
Li Shi received the funeral letter from the house, although he didn't believe it in his heart, he still urged the handlebar and the accompanying guards to speed up the march, and returned to the mansion from Shengjing at a super fast speed, much earlier than the fourth master expected her to return to the house, so the fourth master is still burying Hongyun's Zhuangzi at this time!
"When you go to the main courtyard, you say that I want to go to the Zhuangzi to pay tribute to the deceased, and ask her permission. Hearing this, Li gathered the scattered bun behind his head, took a deep breath of the sandalwood-scented air, looked at the light gauze curtain embroidered with melons in front of him, and commanded Huan'er without looking back.
Since Li entered the door, Mo Yaqi has never left Li's left and right except for decocting medicine for Li under the corridor to show filial piety, thinking that without Hongyun, the younger brother who snatched all her mother's love, she will always be valued by Li, but she didn't expect that Li didn't pay attention to her except when she asked about the cause of Hongyun's death, she looked at her and ignored her, she was unspeakably sad in her heart.
Of course, she didn't have an uncontrollable gaffe.
After all, she had already guessed Li's reaction, so she only took a step forward, blocked Huan'er, who was about to go out, and held Li's slightly cool big hand with a concerned face, and said softly: "Eniang, you are weak now, it is better to wait a few days before going to pay tribute to your brother." ”
This is not an excessive statement.
After all, it's not early now, even if the Li family gets up from the bed now, changes clothes and dresses up, and can go out in front of the gate of the city, but it is not safe to walk at night, let alone pay tribute to the souls of the dead in the middle of the night, not to mention that the Li family rushed back all the way and just suffered the blow of losing his son, which is physically and mentally exhausted.
As a daughter, Mo Yaqi is worried that Li's body will not be able to bear it, which is also a reasonable thing, but she can't stand Li's preference for Hongyun, which has long made her irrational, or she has an extra intuition, she glared at Mo Yaqi who spoke viciously, and she didn't make a sound for a long time, and as soon as she spoke, Mo Yaqi was greatly hurt, "You go back first, I don't need you to serve here, if you are really filial to me, you can go back and copy a few more scriptures for your brother!" After speaking, Li withdrew the look that fell on Mo Yaqi's face, closed his eyes slightly, and lay back on the bed.
"Gege, why don't you go back first.
After all, the injuries on your body are not healed, and you have been busy for most of the day, don't be tired anymore!" Li gave Mo Yaqi such a cold eviction order, Mo Yaqi stood in place as if she didn't hear it, but Huan'er and Pei'er, who were waiting beside Li's side, couldn't pretend not to hear, the two glanced at each other, Huan'er took a step forward, helped Mo Yaqi, who was a little staggering, and persuaded in a low voice.
Mo Yaqi nodded with a wry smile, and said respectfully to the Li family who had closed her eyes: "E-niang, rest early when you are tired, and Mo Yaqi will come to see you tomorrow." After speaking, she pulled Huan'er and Pei'er to tell her carefully, and then led the palace maid in her room to leave the east courtyard and go back to the courtyard from the moon cave gate.
Seeing Mo Yaqi leave, Pei'er and Huan'er felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
Although it is said that it is to raise children to prevent old age, in the royal family, it is even more expensive for mothers to rely on their children, but daughters are also the meat that falls from the mother's body, and there are really not many mothers who ignore their daughters' closeness like the Li family.
"Master, why are you bother!" With the sound of the door opening and closing, the Li family, who had closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, opened his eyes again, looking at the bed curtain with tears in his eyes, and Huan'er, who had been standing by the bed and waiting, couldn't help but feel a little upset for Mo Yaqi, "Mo Yaqi Gege is also for your own good, you rushed back from Shengjing all the way, you are tired, it is time to rest!"
"I understand what you said!" Hearing this, Li Shi turned his head to look at Huan'er, shook his head slightly, interrupted Huan'er's words, and continued, " It's just that there is always a shadow of doubt in my heart, what kind of heart is Sui'er's girl, you have been on an errand for many years, and you can understand it when you think about it, you say that she took refuge in Xiao Li's family, which I believe a hundred times, but how can she not even want her life for Xiao Li's family, knowing that it is impossible for Xiao Li's to make a comeback, seeing that the rope is hanging around her neck, and she will continue to work hard for Xiao Li's family, which makes me wonder.
Besides, you also said before that when Sui'er went to bring food to Hongyun, she seemed to have mentioned it unintentionally, saying that the bowl of Yangchun noodles with dirty things was made by Mo Yaqi, do you say that she is still jealous of Hongyun, so when Xiao Li's matter broke out, she took advantage of Sui'er, who wanted to ask for a way to live!"
These words are what Li has always pressed in his heart.
At the beginning, she listened to the words of Huan'er and Pei'er, and also felt that Xiao Li and Sui'er were at the end of their rope and wanted to take revenge on her, so they did such a heartbreaking thing, but as Li's mood stabilized, she found that this logic was untenable, and saw that Mo Yaqi was busy with her work, seemingly worried about her body, but always looked at her face carefully, which made her have some doubts about this daughter, not to mention what happened before she went to Shengjing Zhuangzi to cultivate, Li has not forgotten.
How strong a woman's jealousy is, Li, who is also a woman, understands.
It's just that she suspects Mo Yaqi on the one hand, and she doesn't want Mo Yaqi to do it, such tangled emotions are the reason why she ignores Mo Yaqi, and even speaks coldly, she is afraid that her daughter is really as she guessed, and she is even more afraid that her daughter has been going around her, which will expose more flaws, so that she is sure that she can't believe in the speculation, but suspicion is not a thing that can be suppressed at all, the more she doesn't want to speculate like this, the more this speculation has sprung up......
This is also the reason why she suddenly kicked out Mo Yaqi, who persuaded her.
Because she felt that she couldn't suppress the urge to ask Mo Yaqi, but she deeply understood that if she really asked, whether Mo Yaqi did it or not, Mo Yaqi's reputation would be completely ruined, and the mother-daughter relationship between her and Mo Yaqi would be completely broken.
"Master, are you thinking too much!" Huan'er and Pei'er who were present were not stupid people, they hadn't thought about Mo Yaqi at all before, or they were blinded by the natural sister-brother relationship between Mo Yaqi and Hongyun, but when Li suddenly said this, how could they not understand Li's speculation, but this possibility is too terrifying, so terrible that people can't help but want to refute it, so Huan'er, who has a fast mouth, once again made a bird.
