Chapter 72 The Devil (Part 2)

Yuxi returned to the study, looking at the "Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies" that she had copied, with a relaxed smile on her face. After two months, she finally finished copying the book.

Zisu couldn't get used to Yuxi's appearance: "Girl, you don't lead soldiers to fight, what are you doing watching this?" Zisu almost said that watching this is just a waste of time. With this time, why not embroider two more purses! Duan Xinrong and Zhou Shiya waited eagerly for Yuxi's purse for more than half a year, and even Zisu, the personal maid, was embarrassed.

Yuxi didn't explain, but just smiled and said: "It's quite interesting." There are ulterior motives and ulterior motives, and all kinds of schemes emerge one after another, which opened her eyes.

Zi Su didn't want to persuade her any more, and it was useless.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "If the second elder brother comes back, please tell me. I will return the book of war to her." Yu Xi is only interested in this book on the art of war, to be precise, the thirty-six strategies in it. As for the other Six Secrets and Three Strategies, I am not interested. As Zisu said, she doesn't need to lead troops to fight, so studying military art is useless.

As soon as he put the book of war that he had copied into the cabinet, he heard Ku Fu come in and say, "Girl, Sister Liu Yin came here to send a message, let the girl go to the upper court."

Yuxi was a little strange, it was almost lunch time, what did the old lady tell her to do. But Yu Xi didn't think much about it, she tidied up her makeup and went.

Liu Yin is a member of the Qiu family, but because the old lady doesn't have any capable maids around, so she is temporarily using it for the old lady. Liu Yin has dealt with Yuxi for several years, and was grateful for Yuxi's life-saving grace that night. She lowered her voice and said to Yuxi: "Miss, the third lady just went to see the old lady. After that, the old lady's face became ugly , and then ask the slaves to come over and ask the girl to come over." Although Liu Yin knew that Yuxi and Yuchen had a good relationship, she still reminded Yuxi so that Yuxi would not suffer. The old lady doesn't like Yuxi, this is something that the whole Duke's mansion knows.

Yuxi's heart trembled, first people came from Pingqinghou's mansion, then Yuchen went to the upper court, and then the old lady had an ugly face and asked her to come over. This series of events made Yuxi quickly think of a possibility. The Marquis of Pingqing probably already found out that the mastermind behind that night was Heshou County Lord.

Yuxi suppressed all her emotions, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your reminder, sister, I will pay attention when the meeting arrives, and try not to make grandma angry."

Liu Yin smiled.

When they arrived at the Upper Court, seeing that the old lady had turned into a black-faced god, and Yu Chen who was sitting at the bottom also had a dignified expression, Yu Xi knew that her previous guess should be close to ten: "What happened?"

Yuchen said, "Fourth sister, the reason why the thieves broke into our mansion that night was at the instigation of Heshou County Lord. Heshou County Lord bought those bandits and let them sneak into the country from Qingzhu Xiaozhu on the night of the palace change." The government."

Yu Xi was stunned, and asked after a while: "Is there any mortal hatred between our Han family and the Qiao family?" At this time, we must be steady, so that the old lady and Yu Chen can't see anything wrong .

Mrs. Han said in a deep voice, "No."

Yuxi shook her head and said: "Impossible, if we have no mortal enmity with the Qiao family, why would Lord Heshou do this? What good does it do her? No, our Han family must have a grudge against the Qiao family, Otherwise, the Lord Ri and Shou County wouldn’t have seen me and Third Sister show so much hostility? Grandma, is there something that even you don’t know about?”

Mrs. Han said with certainty: "The Han Qiao family has no enmity. The Qiao family has only made a fortune for more than 30 years. Before that, the Qiao family was a digger in the countryside. If the two families had a deadly feud, I would not I don't know." Mrs. Han married into the Duke's Mansion more than 30 years ago and is very familiar with the affairs of the mansion. If the two families really had enmity, it is impossible for her not to know about it.

Yuxi opened her mouth and said, "Why is that?" After finishing speaking, she asked the same question as Yuchen: "How did Lord Heshou know that the crown prince would rebel that night?

How did she know? "

Yuchen kept clenching his hands tightly and never let go: "Yuxi, I don't know how Lord Heshou knew that the crown prince would rebel that night. But I know that she let these gangsters sneak into the Duke's mansion because she wanted to Kill you and me."

Yu Xi stood still, and after a while Yu Xi asked, "Why did you kill us?"

Yuchen shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Yuxi's voice suddenly became louder: "There is no enmity, and if you want to kill me and you for no reason, is it possible that Lord Heshou is crazy? No, there are no lunatics like her."

Yuchen said: "Fourth sister, I think the Lord Heshou is possessed by a monster." Otherwise, how could the Lord Heshou do such an unreasonable thing.

Yuxi was shocked: "Possessed by a monster?"

Yuchen nodded and said, "Yes."

Yuxi's legs softened, and she held onto the chair beside her with both hands so that she didn't sit on the ground. Taking a few deep breaths, Yuxi sat down on the chair, and then slowly said: "Even if Lord Heshou County is possessed by a monster, why did she kill me and Third Sister? We have never offended her."

This is also the strangest thing about Yuchen.

Mrs. Han has been observing Yuxi just now, but Yuxi's performance is relatively normal, Mrs. Han didn't see anything wrong. After hearing Yuxi's words, Mrs. Han asked, "Yuxi, what do you think?"

Yuxi shook her head: "No." You can't say so quickly if you do. She doesn't want to be particularly powerful in front of the old lady.

Yuchen couldn't think of a reason, and said, "Grandmother, uncle has already investigated this matter very clearly. No matter what the reason is with Lord Shou County, we must avenge this enmity." This kind of thing can't be treated as if it didn't happen. .

Mrs. Han looked at Yuxi and asked, "Yuxi, what do you think should be done?"

Yuxi still had three words: "I don't know. But I must tell my father and elder brother about this matter. For such a big matter, I have to let them make up their minds." Lord Jiang Hou is very powerful, and the Jiang family's roots in the capital are also very deep. That's why they found the truth before them. However, the Jiang family can help find the murderer, but the revenge is to avenge themselves.

That said, I can't tell why. The old lady said: "Go back first." This matter must be discussed in the long term.

The two parted ways on the way with heavy thoughts. When Yuchen returned to Tingyun Pavilion, he went to the study, and then summoned Nanny Gui, and told Nanny Gui about it: "Mommy, even if Lord Heshou County is possessed by a monster, why would she kill me? With the fourth sister?"

Father, like son. And at Nanny Gui's age, she said that she ate more salt than Yuchen ate rice. Hearing Yuchen's words, he said: "There is no enmity, and you have no enmity with her. There is only one reason why she can be so cruel."

Yuchen hurriedly asked, "What's the reason?" She racked her brains but couldn't think of any reason.

Nanny Gui said: "Master Heshou County knows that you and the fourth girl will threaten her in the future, and it will be fatal. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so generous?"

Yuchen was stunned: "What does Mammy mean by this? What does it mean that Yuxi and I will pose a fatal threat to the Lord Heshou County in the future. Who can predict what will happen in the future." After finishing speaking, Yuchen thought of a possibility , his face instantly turned pale.

Seeing Yuchen like this, Nanny Gui knew that she understood what she meant: "This evildoer may have the ability to predict the future."

Yuchen grabbed the handle of the chair with his right hand and said, "This evildoer..."

Thinking of this, Yuchen immediately called Shiqin and said, "Prepare the car, I'm going to Pingqinghou's Mansion." After speaking, Yuchen immediately went to the upper court and told the old lady about it.

The old lady really didn't think about it. But when Yuchen said this, apart from this reason, he really couldn't find any other reason: "This matter must be discussed in the long run, and we cannot act rashly. Don't go to Pingqinghou's Mansion for the time being. I will discuss it with your father and elder brother first." Take a moment." After all, the Lord of Heshou County is a relative of the emperor and has a title, so he must be cautious.

Yuchen left the Upper Court, thought for a while and then went to Taoranju. Hearing that the maid said that Yuxi went into the study as soon as she came back, Yuchen's expression was very subtle.

Kufu raised her voice and called out: "Girl, the third girl is here."

Yuxi replaced the military book in her hand with a medical book, flipped it open and put it aside overnight, then walked out of the study to welcome Yuchen into the room, and said, "Third sister, what do you think?"

Yuchen shouldn't answer: "What are you doing?" As he asked, his eyes fell on the books on the desk, and he didn't expect Yuxi to have the time to read medical books.

Yuxi said: "I was thinking, it would be great if we could develop a poison that kills people invisible. It's a pity that I'm not good at learning..."

Yuchen didn't know how to describe the mood at this meeting: "Even if you were asked to develop a poison that kills people invisible, how would you poison it? Can you get close to her?"

Hearing this, Yu Xi softened immediately: "Cough, I was really confused by anger, and I just thought about how to kill Heshou. Cough, third sister, what do you think we should do? She didn't kill us this time, she definitely didn't I will be willing. Let alone going out, I don’t feel at ease at home.” As long as Yuchen is determined and the Pingqinghou Mansion gives some help, this matter will be much easier to handle. It is more difficult to kill He Shou, but it will definitely kill her arrogance.

There was a flash of hostility in Yuchen's eyes: "Don't worry, there will be no next time."

It was the first time Yuxi saw Yuchen like this.

Yu Chen felt hairy when Yu Xi looked at him: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Yuxi cracked her mouth and smiled: "It's nothing, I just think that the third sister is very beautiful today. I couldn't help it for a while, and I was a little dumbfounded."

Yuchen was funny and angry: "I haven't been serious at any time. I came to see you this time because I have something to tell you." Then she told Yuxi her guess.

Yuxi felt that Nanny Gui was too powerful to even guess this. Lord Heshou County knows the future, so he wants to kill her and Yuxi. I agree in my heart, but there is a look of disbelief on my face: "Sister, this can't be done? Foretelling the future, isn't that a fairy?"

Yuchen snorted coldly: "It's not a fairy, it's a monster."
