Chapter 1028: Investigating the Past Events of that Year

He didn't say yes or no, he just responded with one sentence, but it revealed all the truth.

"The Xingguo Hou Mansion is really... becoming less and less advanced, and they actually let a married woman take over!" The eldest princess Ruian still didn't understand something, so she sneered and cursed.

"Grandma, do you think I can do something or not?" Shao Wanru said straight to the point. She doesn't need to be scheming with grandma. This feels good, the feeling of a relative without any scruples.

Don't be careful, just say whatever comes to mind. Even if you say something wrong, grandma will tolerate it.

This is the feeling of family members, very warm and reassuring. There is no need to beat around the bush, just say whatever comes to mind.

"You have nothing to do with this matter!" Princess Ruian said solemnly, with soft eyes that were a bit sharp, and she snorted coldly, "The Xingguo Marquis Mansion has pushed everything on you. If you don't go, Even if you are incompetent, it is also your brother who is incompetent, or the Xingguo Marquis Mansion that your brother will inherit is incompetent. Even if the Xingguo Marquis Mansion is incompetent, your natal family, Princess Chen, has no leverage. It’s really poisonous!”

The eldest princess of Ruian is really disgusted with the practices of the Xingguo Houfu.

"I don't care if it's okay or not, I'm sick!" Shao Wanru laughed softly, holding Princess Ruian's hand with her backhand, and shook it coquettishly: "Grandma, please don't worry about this matter. It's really not safe for you to interfere. Well, after all, this matter is now regarded as a matter of the Xingguo Hou Mansion, and if you interfere like this, people will be caught!"

The eldest princess of Ruian has a noble status, but she has no real power. Too much interference in the affairs of the Xingguo Hou Mansion will make people take advantage of her, which will be very detrimental to the eldest princess of Ruian.

Moreover, this time they were facing the mansion of the eldest princess Ruian, and Shao Wanru was even more reluctant to get the eldest princess Ruian involved.

"What, they are so shameless!" The eldest princess Ruian was so angry that she thought that Mrs. Xingguo Houfu would find a way to suppress Shao Wanru, but she didn't expect that this old woman was so shameless and didn't care about anything. , all thrown to Shao Wanru.

"Sick? She's pretending. I went to see her and brought the imperial doctor to see her!" The eldest princess Ruian was really angry and was about to stand up.

Shao Wanru saw something bad and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it down and said hurriedly: "Grandma, please stop, I won't necessarily suffer. If you go now, it doesn't matter even if there is an imperial doctor. Madam's illness is an old one. It’s not fake, she gets dizzy whenever she wants and gets sick whenever she wants, even the imperial doctor can’t find anything!”

The Mrs. Tai's old problems were real, and indeed serious, otherwise her situation would not have been so critical when she first met the Mrs. Tai.

She was old and sick, and the imperial doctor couldn't find anything even if she tried to find out. It wasn't her who had the final say. Could it be that there was nothing wrong with her?

The eldest princess of Ruian has a straight temper and is very angry. When she goes to the Xingguo Marquis Mansion to cause trouble, if she is really pretending to be okay, if she accidentally makes the lady angry, it will be a big deal.

Madam Tai is not the Jiang family, and there are not so many reasons for people to catch her. Although she seems to be unkind to herself on the surface, she is just imitating her.

This partiality will even get the sympathy of many ladies in the house. Who has so many grandchildren and granddaughters in the house who treat them equally? A granddaughter who grew up by one's own side is of course different from a granddaughter from outside. You can't force the madam to death just because of this!

Yes, just to put it bluntly, if such a thing really happened, grandma would be in trouble. Shao Wanru didn't want grandma to get into trouble because of such a thing.

Shao Jing is not simple. Not only is he not simple, Shao Wanru even suspects that he has something to do with the death of his father. A person who can even attack his own brother would attack the wife at this time and blame his grandmother. What's not allowed?

At this time, we cannot let my grandmother go to the Xingguo Hou Mansion in anger.

"That's it. If she wants to be sick, just take it well, so that she won't come out to make trouble again!" Princess Ruian's face turned pale with anger, "How can there be such a cruel person in this world to do such a thing? Push it on you!"

She really hated the madam of the Xingguo Hou Mansion. She wished she could see the madam of the Xingguo Hou Mansion right in front of her and drag her to the Queen Mother to talk.

As she spoke, she pulled Shao Wanru's hand away and tried to stand up. She really couldn't bear this tone.

"Grandma, do you think there is something fishy about my father and mother?" Seeing that he couldn't hold the eldest princess Ruian, Shao Wanru rolled his eyes and said hurriedly, holding the corner of the eldest princess Ruian's clothes.

The eldest princess's face froze, her lips trembled twice, and she immediately turned pale, "You... you mean your father and mother were... killed by someone?"

Princess Ruian has been having such a question for many years, but she finds it unbelievable. Now that Shao Wanru said this, she couldn't help it. Thinking of her daughter, her eyes turned red. Her daughter was in high spirits when she died. It's not normal, she didn't even see him for the last time.

That day, Duke Xingguo's government sent someone to tell him that her daughter was dead. When she went to see her, she only glanced at it from a distance and saw her daughter's pale face without any blood, lying quietly like this. It was lifeless there, completely different from the mental disorder before.

At that time, she seemed to be the gentle yet stubborn daughter she had always been.

With just one glance, the eldest princess Ruian fainted. When she woke up again, the coffin had been nailed. After that, the eldest princess Ruian never dared to think about everything. She only felt that everything was in confusion, looking at herself. After her daughter was buried, her memory was not very good after a serious illness, and she rarely recalled that memory.

Now when I heard my granddaughter say this, I realized that I didn't think about it, but when I think about it again, my heart still hurts.

Tears fell unconsciously. The image of her granddaughter seemed to overlap with the image of her daughter in her memory.

"Grandma!" Shao Wanru's eyes also turned red. He pulled the eldest Princess Ruian to sit down again, put his arms around the waist of the eldest Princess Ruian, and leaned her head against her. "Grandma, you are the support of me and Hao'er. If something happens to you, wouldn't it make the people in the Xingguo Hou Mansion laugh and make us both sad?"

Princess Ruian's heart twitched with pain. The daughter in her memory, the pitiful granddaughter in front of her, and her little grandson all came together to make her mind sober at this moment. It was difficult. The corner of his lips moved: "You... do you think it has something to do with their Xingguo Hou Mansion?"

These words correspond to what Shao Wanru said before.

"Grandma, I think it's related. My second uncle left the capital during the time when my father had an accident. He secretly left the capital and went to the border. Mr. Yan's father met his second uncle there. Later, his second uncle left, his father had an accident, and his mother was found. When he came back, he was mentally disturbed, and then after giving birth to Hao'er... he was gone. The second uncle and Mr. Yan's father suddenly became irresponsible. This time Mr. Yan almost had an accident, and it was the second uncle who was behind the scenes."

Shao Wanru whispered, biting his lip to suppress the pain in his heart.

All doubts lie on Shao Jing alone.

"You... mean that it was Shao Jing who killed your father. No one knew about secretly leaving the capital, and no one knew that he killed your father. But the man named Yan knew about it. In order to be afraid If this matter comes out, Shao Jing doesn't want his son named Yan to go to Beijing and stay in Beijing as an official?"

The eldest princess of Ruian must have experienced many things. After suppressing the pain in her heart, she immediately understood all the meaning of Shao Wanru's words. Her face turned livid with anger, and she clapped her hand heavily on the table, "What if? I found out that these things are true, Shao Jing will die for your father!"

"Grandma, this is my guess. I guessed it based on the letter Mr. Yan gave me. There is no factual evidence, but I think it is true. When I was a child, I lived with my father and mother, and my life was pretty good. , even if my father joined the army anonymously, nothing would happen, so why did such a big disaster happen later? Why is it such a coincidence! "

Shao Wanru said with red eyes, a trace of sinister hatred flashed in his eyes.

If this is true, then the hatred between the two lives can be regarded as rooted.

It turned out that they were not just dealing with him and Hao'er, but they were trying to eradicate the roots of his own brother. Shao Jing's entire family was ruthless and did not leave even a little way for him and Hao'er to survive.

"I'm going to check what happened that day!" Princess Ruian gritted her teeth hard and tasted the taste of blood in her mouth. If this was true, she would definitely let Shao Jing die.

Compared with this, the title of the Xingguo Marquis Mansion is not that important!

What else is more important than the hatred between my daughter and my son-in-law?

"Grandma, it's best for you to investigate this matter. The matter is so far apart. I wasn't born yet at that time, and I don't know many old things. Grandma is my mother's biological mother. Even if I want to investigate, it's okay. But right now, there’s still no clear reason to investigate!”

Shao Wanru said softly that Grandma Cha was indeed the most suitable person for this matter, and neither he nor Chu Liuchen was suitable.

On the one hand, it is because nothing happened to the two of them more than ten years ago, and on the other hand, to investigate what happened more than ten years ago, although Chu Liuchen has manpower and a lot of secret strength, so many people are staring at him. , if someone deliberately exaggerates this matter to the birth of Chu Liuchen, it may arouse the emperor's suspicion, it is better to let the grandmother investigate the matter.

There is also the most important reason at the moment. Only in this way can my grandmother get away from the matter between the Xingguo Hou Mansion and Princess Yuan'an.

My grandmother is in the same situation as me right now, and it is impossible not to help me, but if I help me fight against Princess Yuan'an's mansion, it will do my grandmother a lot of harm but nothing good.

She had to stir up the water in the capital even more before she and her grandmother could escape.
