Chapter 629 - 629 The last windowpane, glued shut!
The series of questions made the dowager lady dumbfounded for a moment, and her original words of rebuke just choked in her mouth.
Heart thumped.
Before and hate anger hard to eliminate the emotion, suddenly seems to have found a breakthrough, slowly dissipated, replaced by a wave of fear panic, the party said the thing again.
“What are you fooling around with, how can this note come out of the Liu House … catching things, is someone suspecting our house?”
The old Duke of State said with a deep, cold face, his brows knitted tightly.
“Someone is going to suspect us?” The dowager lady panicked for a moment, subconsciously lowering her voice as her fingers spasmed.
“Otherwise why would someone borrow the name of the Liu Mansion and send this note to you, the date on it is a date thirty years ago, and what it says, it is even more of an unoriginal, catch-as-catch-can story, who is trying to deal with our State Duke’s Mansion?” The old State Duke pondered.
“Again, again?” The dowager lady’s hands and feet are sore and weak, muttering to herself, “Things have gone on for so long, why can’t we get better? But … but we were all fine in the beginning, what can happen now?”
“The first time was the first time, and now is the present time, the matter of the Jingguo Gongfu … you have forgotten?” The old Duke of State rebuked.
Nowadays, in the several major princely mansions, there has long been no Jing Guo Gongfu, once the Jing Guo Gongfu is also a prominent noble in the capital, Jing Guo Gongfu’s eldest miss, but also used to be a famous beauty in the capital, there are still people who say that Miss Jing is the first beauty of the capital, but to this day, the Jing Guo Gongfu has no one, and a full house is destroyed.
“Will … it be the same as the Jingguo Gongfu?” The dowager lady said sharply.
“I don’t know … be careful some is, back then the thing past thirty years, this thirty years in, look like the past, but in fact, when the Yuan queen of the thing, after that Yu Guo Gong of the thing, and Jing Guo Gongfu of the thing, which family is not illustrious, not to mention there is the Yuan queen of the thing …”
The old Duke of China sighed, leaned back and instructed the Dowager’s wife, “You are also careful, because of this thirty years ago, how many people were involved, we were still the brunt of this time, this time should be even more careful and cautious, do not let anyone drill a hole in the ground, today … for this kind of thing … is the most taboo …”
The words of the old Duke of China said here, did not say any more, the room sullen down, let a person oppressive suffocation, as if there is what tightly suppressed breathing, even breathing is not good.
Thirty years ago, twenty years ago, ten years ago, and four years ago.
Although the Three Kings’ Rebellion was quelled more than thirty years ago, the scourge has not yet been eliminated, and even the powerful families have to be careful for fear of being linked to these things.
The present Emperor has no tolerance at all for the original Three Kings’ Rebellion.
The dowager lady’s breathing was a little more rough, “I heard that the Yu Guo Gongfu … doesn’t have much to do anymore, and today … still wants to let Yu Guo Gong regain military power.”
“Yu Guo Gong and today’s relationship is not as simple as you think, as for this next thing how, are not we should be managed, I’m old, you are also old … just want to look at the children and grandchildren to live a good life, other…. . are not so important.”
The old Duke of the country bitterly said, his head lowered, gloomy and powerless, no longer when the intention of the second son of the Duke of the country, and no longer when young when some lonely and courageous look.
He was ashamed of that mother and daughter after all!
Even if you go underground in the future, but also have no face to that child’s, the bottom of the eyes of the sour place only to feel the tears are about to fall, hastily closed tightly, “You think about this, do not let people drill a hole in the … We now have two sons, several grandsons and granddaughters … …”
The old Duke no longer spoke, the dowager lady clenched her teeth hard to calm the fear in her heart, her hand grasped the chair rail on one side, and she also no longer spoke.
It was a good half a long time before he said feebly, “I will go back first, and I … will look at the matter of that fourth young lady of the Qu Mansion.”
“Look more, find a good one, although the Yongning Marquis House is good, but if she doesn’t like it, there is no need to make it difficult for her … always have to let her pick a good one, pick a congenial one, and then can’t be like the Qu Zhi Zhen such as this, looking superficially glamorous, but is so a look. ”
The old Duke of State commanded again in a deep voice.
Opening her eyes again, she looked at the dowager lady, her eyes all tired.
Mrs. did not speak, just looked straight at the old Duke, suddenly red eyes, suddenly stood up, hands and feet busy, a foot to the side of the coffee table pushed away, above the tealights swayed twice, rolled down, “clang” sound, crushed on the ground.
The old Duke of State was still looking at the Dowager Lady, with a mournful color in his eyes.
The dowager lady turned and covered her face, and when she walked out of the door, she walked a little too fast and hit the doorframe, her body lurched out uncontrollably.
Outside the door, a granny was quick to help the dowager lady, narrowly holding the person in place.
“Mrs. Dowager, are you all right?”
“Mrs. Dowager, are you hurt?”
“How are you doing, Mrs. Dowager …?” …
A crowd of maids rushed over and spoke in a chorus of voices.
“All go!” The dowager lady snapped, suddenly pushed away a maid who was holding her up, this maid was her personal maid beside her, also a very favored one in the past, was suddenly pushed away by the dowager lady under the loss of control, fell back a few steps, and fell heavily to the ground.
For a moment, everyone froze.
It took a good half a minute to hear the Dowager’s tired voice, “All of you, go away!”
After saying that, holding the hand of the personal granny beside her, she walked forward with difficult steps.
The maids and maids-in-law looked at me and I looked at you, no longer daring to say another word, each carefully following behind.
Inside the study the old Duke of State heard that the commotion outside was gone and muttered to himself, “Injustice ah injustice!”
Head powerlessly lowered, slumped down to the bookcase, if really back in the beginning, he will certainly not do so, how he himself to do, should not let another person’s life to pay back the grace.
Even if big brother has a thousand kindnesses to himself, the one who has to return the favor is only himself.
But he was accompanying the life of another person who was completely unaware of it, so young and in the right place, but died in pieces, all because of himself.
But he couldn’t let this part of the past be lifted up, and had to suppress the dowager lady, even intimidating her so that she didn’t dare to say or ask more questions.
He had no shame for his eldest brother, but he had no shame for her, and the child, in fact, completely unaware of the situation, had become a victim.
That marriage, that marriage, was it really uninformed, was it really just a matter of looking at Liu Bori’s character and being bent on seeking marriage before allowing himself to beg for the marriage granting decree?
Fingers trembling to hold on the corner of the table, if … if there … really is really a hint of calculation in this, it is equivalent to him pushing people to death personally.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she couldn’t marry Liu Boryu, Xiao Yue wouldn’t have hurriedly married Qu Zhizhen, and this wouldn’t have happened.
His heart ached like a knife, his hand squeezed the corner of the table hard, trying to suppress the pain, but to no avail this effect was basically nonexistent, he still couldn’t breathe from the pain.
“Mrs. Tai, Prefect Jingyu is here.” A granny hurriedly came in to report, since the dowager lady returned to the inner courtyard, she has been sitting alone in the house, surrounded by a waiter are not, the entire courtyard is dull as if there is something heavy suppressed as if.
No one dares to disturb the dowager lady at this time, just now in the study, the old Duke and the dowager lady said what, none of them dare to ask, but it must be what happened, otherwise the dowager lady will not be such a situation.
Luckily, Madam Tai’s favorite, Prefect Jingyu, came.
The beloved granny hurried to the door to report.
It was half a minute before we heard the tired voice of the Dowager Lady inside, “Let her in!”
The granny hurriedly reported to Liu Jingyu who had arrived in the courtyard.
“Is Grandmother so unhappy since she came back?” Liu Jingyu didn’t rush in and inquired in a low voice, the atmosphere in the courtyard was too unusual today, she wouldn’t venture in.
“It’s been like this since I came back from Servant Qu’s residence.” The granny said, hesitating for a moment and then whispering, “It may be that Fourth Miss Qu has caused the dowager lady to become angry.”
“What happened to Fourth Miss Qu …?” Liu Jingyu asked in confusion.
“Old slave can’t say, it might be because Fourth Miss Qu doesn’t like the marriage that the Dowager Lady chose for her.” The granny vaguely said, while moving in to let Liu Jingyu in.
There are some things that even the Dowager’s own granddaughter is not allowed to say.
This is the Duke of Qi’s residence, not Liu Shangshu’s residence, very early in the morning, Mrs. Taifu had warned them, a little through some tone is possible, but if you say more, I’m afraid to provoke the wrath of Mrs. Taifu again.
Seeing the way the Dowager Lady’s personal in-laws didn’t want to say anything, Liu Jingyu rested her mind and went into the main house.
“Grandmother, are you all right? Are you sick?” As soon as she entered the door Liu Jingyu revealed a soft smile, after going forward and giving the dowager lady a bow, she went to the dowager lady’s side, pulling the dowager lady’s sleeve, shaking it in a general way like a petulant girl, “Grandmother, what is wrong with you, say it all to Jade, and Jade will surely help you to get it all done.”
The dowager lady raised her heavy head, looked at her favorite granddaughter, moved her mouth, but she couldn’t say a word, sitting in the room for a long time without opening her mouth, this time she wanted to open her mouth but couldn’t make a sound.
“Grandmother, you first drink some water to moisten your throat, if there is anything you want to eat, Yu’er will let someone go to the kitchen to prepare it, and don’t be angry, it’s not worth it to get angry over someone who is not related.”
Liu Jingyu sent the cup of tea placed on the table to the dowager lady and said with concern.
The dowager lady took the tea, took a sip in silence, and slowly put it down.
“Grandmother, in the end what happened, you used to be the most distressed Yu’er, don’t scare Yu’er.” Liu Jingyu squatted down in front of Mrs. Tai, a pair of eyes with a few moments of admiration, affectionate and sincere.
The dowager lady opened her mouth to speak, but realized she still couldn’t speak, her heart was yanked hard …
