Chapter 257 Question

Shaohua didn't know how to sort out her thoughts along the way. Things seemed to be more complicated than she thought.

She thought that at most, the Empress Dowager He had washed away the grievances of the Yan family, while Mrs. Yan secretly helped the Empress Dowager He eradicate dissidents and let Yan Kaizhi assist Hongyi to ascend the throne. However, I heard from the conversation between Empress Dowager He and Mrs. Yan that they are not only mutually beneficial and win-win, but also have more secrets that she doesn't know.

Thinking that I have always naively thought that marrying Yan Kaizhi is enough to have children for him. But in fact, she was only Mrs. Xingyong at most, not exactly the daughter-in-law of the strict family. Even if she worked so hard, she still failed to enter his heart. Shaohua frowned and clenched his hands unconsciously. Until he accidentally squeezed the child in his arms, his loud and powerful voice pulled both adults back to their senses.

Shaohua hurriedly withdrew his free soul, patted the child in his arms, and unconsciously warmed his heart again.

Anyway, she has a lifetime of time to spend with him, and one day he will admit that he likes her, regardless of his identity.

"I'll take you back first." Youning couldn't help but feel amazing when he saw the child in his arms being coaxed into sleep by Shaohua again. It was the first time he had seen such a clever child.

After finally appeasing his son, Shaohua looked up and said to Youning, "No, I'll go back with you. I want to ask things clearly." If she returns to Xingyonghou Mansion like this, I'm afraid it will not be easy to come up with it again.

You Ning opened his mouth to say something, but he hesitated, nodded, and did not object. In fact, he also wants to clarify the matter, otherwise he will get stuck in his heart.

After bypassing Shangguan Road, in fact, it was not far from the capital. When Youning came, he almost went crazy and drove the wooden stakes all the way back. Although he has slowed down as much as possible to take care of Shaohua's mother and son, Youning did not dare to relax at all in order to advance to Beijing in the dark. After entering the city, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Youning also deliberately made a big circle and entered through the back door of Dingxihou Mansion.

Just as Youning's carriage entered the door, someone immediately reported to Xin Maoshan and his wife: "Master, madam! The young master is back!"

I heard that someone was looking for a door. After seeing it, You Ning didn't say anything. She drove out with Ziying, and as soon as she went there, it was dawn to dark. One has been lost, and now if Youning is gone, Xin Maoshan can't let people overturn the capital. After waiting for her husband to speak, Mrs. Xin hummed twice: "That's great. Let that stinky boy get in!"

Looking at the mistress's angry face, the porter couldn't help sweating for his young master, "Madam, the young master came back with a child."

Mrs. Xin screamed: "What! How dare he bring me an illegitimate son back?!

The porter was almost scared to bite off his tongue by Mrs. Xin's shrill. He just heard You Ning's voice ringing behind his back. He fortunately patted his chest and hurriedly retreated. Youning took Shaohua into the house and saw that both of them had black faces. He hurriedly pushed Shaohua out, "Mother, what an illegitimate child, is your grandson!"

Just because the clothes Shaohua wore when she left the palace were worn out, and later changed into children's close-fitting clothes by the wooden stake daughter-in-law, she wore the clothes of her wooden stake daughter-in-law when she was young. In addition, she has been hiding in the shabby hut of the wooden pile house these days and walking beside Youning, more like the girl Youning picked up from the outside, and her round face raised when she was pregnant was sharpened.

Seeing Mrs. Xin's wide eyes in surprise, Shaohua's nose was sore. He walked forward two steps with the child in his arms and shouted with a crying voice: "Mother!"

"Wu Niang?" Fortunately, Mrs. Xin held her with her eyes and hands and looked at her shabby and embarrassment. Mrs. Xin was happy and surprised. Softly cried by Shaohua, Mrs. Xin almost cried. Fortunately, Xin Maoshan reminded her that she quickly comforted Shaohua not to cry and hurt her body.

Xin Maoshan also confused the sudden situation in front of him. The people who were looking for all over Beijing were actually picked up by Youning. Even a righteous girl should not appear in her home at the first time. He asked Youning behind Shaohua, "What the hell is going on?"

Youning watched Shaohua and his mother calm down and shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a long story, mother, you have someone get something first. I think she has been hungry recently."

Only then did Mrs. Xin remember that she let Shaohua stand with the child in her arms. She helped Shaohua sit down on the chair and nagging, "Just come back, just come back, God bless, God bless. With your disappearance, the whole capital will be lifted up to find someone. Bao'er brought hot tea, and Mrs. Xin took the opportunity to bring the child in Shaohua's arms.

She was surprised to find that the little baby was very pink and watery, and she didn't want to be a newborn baby at all. Her sweet sleeping face made people like it from the bottom of her heart. She excitedly showed off to her husband, "Look at this eyebrow, he is so handsome, just like his father."

Xin Maoshan glanced at it and asked again, "You Ning, have you sent a letter to Xingyong Houfu?"

You Ning nodded, "I let Ziying go."

Xin Maoshan couldn't help blaming her, "It's okay if Wu Niang is ignorant. As your brother, how can you fool around? If you find someone, you should send it to Xingyonghou Mansion immediately. How can you come back here? Fortunately, it's dark now, and not many people must pay attention to it.

As soon as he heard Xin Maoshan scolded Youning, Shaohua quickly said, "Father, I don't blame Youning. I asked you to come back. I have something to ask you clearly." She nodded to Youning, and Youning knowingly dismissed the unrelevant people.

Xin Maoshan was confused by their riddle-like behavior. Looking at Shaohua's serious face, he suddenly wondered, "Say it."

Shaohua straightened his sitting posture, and even Mrs. Xin couldn't help looking sideways. Shaohua looked at Xin Maoshan seriously and asked cautiously, "Did you already know that someone was going to murder my senior official?"

"Where did you hear the rumors!" Xin Maoshan didn't expect that Shaohua's question was so sharp as soon as he opened his mouth, and he immediately changed his face.

Shaohua went straight in and said bluntly, "When the imperial history went to Lingjing, he passed through Liangcheng, and you were also in Liangcheng at that time, so you know the purpose of the imperial history. You know how he died, but you didn't take action until Kaizhi came to North Sichuan.

Serious questions forced Xin Maoshan to lose his face. He turned to Youning angrily and cursed, "How did you know this? Youning!"

You Ning raised his hands innocently, "I didn't say anything!"

Shaohua knew that Xin Maoshan deliberately changed the topic, "Dad, this has nothing to do with Youning."

Sure enough, Xin Maoshan's face darkened and said angrily, "Li Wuniang, you have to know your identity. Even if I recognize you as a righteous girl, it doesn't mean that you can replace Mo'er!" Although this tone was exactly the same as Xin Zimo's, Xin Maoshan was still a little angry in front of Shaohua's face.

Shaohua was anxious and blurted out, "I'm her. What should I replace?"

You Ning beside him changed his face with fear, but Xin Maoshan took a step faster than him, "Nonsense!"

Looking at the atmosphere between the two, Youning had to come out and explain: "That father, this matter is a long story. Although it is a little mysterious, Shaohua is really the second sister. I can guarantee it." Youning was stared at by Mrs. Xin, but at this point, he had to continue to say, "At least, she knows everything about the second sister, including the secrets of me and the second sister."

If you say Shaohua, they can't believe it, but You Ning is his son who has been around him for more than ten years. Xin Maoshan knows how his character is. Looking at Shaohua again, although there are doubts about whether they are cheating together, even if it is cheating, it is not good for Shaohua.

On the contrary, Mrs. Xin first reacted: "Is it really a doomed thing? You are really Mo'er."

Shaohua didn't expect things to go so smoothly. "Mom, don't you think a girl who grew up in the countryside can know so many things?" But she didn't forget her key point. She turned her head and looked directly at Xin Maoshan and asked, "Dad, I just want to know if you already knew that someone wanted to harm him?"

Looking at his wife and son acquiescing to Shaohua's words, Xin Maoshan suddenly leaned against a chair and couldn't accept such a hot thing. He said carelessly, "It's been so many years, and I can't remember what happened back then." When he regarded Shaohua as Xin Zimo, it seemed that it was not so difficult to speak.

Xin Maoshan thought for a moment and still said, "When I knew that Xu Ke was ordered to investigate Yan Su, I had a ticket with him. Xu Ke said that he understood, but he had to go through. But what happened later was too fast and too unexpected. I asked someone to investigate, but their mother and son had already disappeared, and you also know what happened later.

When the result of his guess was confirmed from Xin Maoshan's mouth, Shaohua suddenly felt very complicated and uncomfortable. But why didn't you avenge the Yan family at the beginning?

Xin Maoshan raised his head and looked old and helpless. "We have never dated the Yan family. There is no reason for me to redress my grievances. What will the people in Beijing think? He was accused of rebellion at the beginning. What can I do?

Shaohua said anxiously, "But you know it's impossible."

Xin Maoshan raised his eyes and scolded angrily, "It's impossible that I don't have the final say. The former emperor thought it might be possible, and it's impossible." But after saying that, I felt a burst of sadness in my heart.

Shaohua did not dare to refute. She knew that Xin Maoshan was telling the truth. She was silent for a long time. Suddenly, she raised her sad eyes and looked at Xin Maoshan with a heavy expression. "Then I would ask another question. At the beginning, it was rumored that there was chaos in northern Sichuan, but later the eldest sister promised the Li family. Later, when you went to Beijing again, the imperial edict followed. Marrying the Three Kings Mansion was actually not the intention of the late emperor, but your selfish will, right?

Now it's Mrs. Xin's turn to be bossy, "Be presumptuous! Is this the attitude you talk to your father?

But Shaohua's heart was sad. She just wanted to ask, "Because of the lesson of the previous car, you are afraid of death and being said to be rebellious, so you pushed me and the eldest sister as a hostage, didn't you?"

"You!" Mrs. Xin was furious, but when she saw her husband raise his hand to stop her anger, she closed her mouth sullenly.

Xin Maoshan looked at Shaohua, as if looking at Xin Zimo, and simply said everything in his heart: "I know you have grievances in your heart, and I have also regretted it in recent years. But if I don't marry you all, what will happen? Have you ever thought about it? The reason why the Yan family turned over and rose again was not because the previous emperor washed their grievances, but because they had their backers. I have nothing. I only have you. Keep you, even if you are complained for the rest of your life.

He didn't give Shaohua a chance to speak. After sighing deeply, he continued to say, "At the beginning, Your Majesty did not suspect Yan Su that he asked Xu Ke to investigate, but as a result, Xu Ke cut him first, and His Majesty couldn't do anything about him. Doro is ready to move. Chuanbei and Lingjing are two places. Your Majesty sent us here because he trusts us.

"Since you trust, why did it become like this?" Youning finally found a gap to interrupt, but it made Mrs. Xin look white.

"Three people become tigers, spreading rumors, and people's words are terrible." Xin Maoshan expressed his sadness over the years in three words, "Your Majesty believes it in his heart, but the people in the world don't believe it."

At this point, Shaohua did not ask Xin Maoshan's behavior, but bluntly said to the murderer, "Is the person who killed my senior official the Xu family or the He family?"

Xin Maoshan knew that Shaohua had known and didn't hide too much. "I can't explain this matter clearly. Maybe Kaizhi knows that he didn't tell you. He must want to protect you. Whether you are Shaohua or Moer, you are all my daughter. It is also to make up for my regret if you marry Kaizhi as you wish. Don't get involved in this matter. Just let Kaizhi deal with it. What you have to do is take good care of the children.

When it came to the child, Shaohua's eyes fell on Mrs. Xin, and his whole body was silent.

Mrs. Xin also softened her temper, "Wuniang, Moer... Listen to your father's words, you are now a strict family, and you should protect yourself and protect your children. At the beginning, I didn't give you to Yan Kaizhi because I was afraid that you would be involved in this quagmire. Who knows, God's will is like this. She didn't expect that things would eventually come to the point where they didn't want to face.

Shaohua's silence condensed the atmosphere. You Ning looked around and changed the topic, "Okay, Dad, mother, don't be so serious. This is not a good thing. People have also found it." Youning deliberately used stress on the word human. In fact, for the Xin family, this is an unexpected joy.

Mrs. Xin came over and immediately turned to Youning and scolded: "You dead boy, did you know for a long time that you still kept it from us for so long!"

"Isn't that afraid to scare you?" You Ning lowered his eyebrows and said, "Besides, do you still go to the Li family to rob people?" If she hadn't been Li Shaohua, things might have been better.

But if she is not Li Shaohua, I'm afraid they won't have the opportunity to recognize her.

"Just come back." Xin Maoshan's sigh seemed to spit out all his guilt.
