Mrs. Yu was silent, and a trace of confusion and imperceptible fear seemed to flash through her eyes.
For a weak woman with no knowledge of martial arts, anyone who knows that she has been targeted for many years by an invisible, intangible martial arts master who regards human life as trivial, and who has absolutely no good intentions towards her, will probably feel terrified.
"But who is that man? What does he want to do? What good can he gain by poisoning me, a widowed woman, to make me 'go crazy'?"
Mrs. Yu subconsciously clasped her palm tightly and murmured nervously to herself. The poison she is carrying has not been eliminated, and her expression becomes even more bizarre when she thinks deeply about it.
Xie Zhao's vision was slightly lost in thought. She was very focused every time she thought about something.
At this time, hearing Mrs. Yu's surprise, Xie Zhao quietly closed his eyes and put himself into the perspective of a vicious "murderer".
The next moment she suddenly opened her eyes and reasoned thoughtfully:
"...If it is according to what Madam said, Xie Zhao dared to guess, that person may have mistakenly thought that Madam, you knew something that he should not know, or mistakenly thought that General Ping Wei had told Madam before his death. What's more, some people may even suspect that the general gave his wife some letters or special items before his death, so they went to Pingzhou to search for it.
However, the concierge who was keeping watch at night accidentally hit him and saw him, so he killed the person and threw him into the well. Perhaps the visitor found nothing after searching, so luckily he gave the lady such a poison that disturbed her sanity.
In this case, the madam gradually became a mad woman in the eyes of the world because of her toxicity. Even if the madam really knew something hidden, everything she said was crazy and no one would believe it. "
Xie Zhao might have been tired from standing, so he took the lead and sat back on the stone chair in the courtyard without following any rules.
Then he held his chin, his eyes fell on Yu Anan who looked uneasy, and continued thoughtfully:
"As for the lady...she was not born when the general died, and when the man poisoned the lady, the lady was still young and ignorant, so there was no need for him to do anything more to the lady. .
——After all, if something happens to you orphans and widowed mother at the same time, it will attract even more attention. There are still many people who have been favored by General Pingwei and Mrs. Ning. If he does it too obviously, clues will always be revealed, which will not be beautiful. "
A sharp light flashed in Xie Zhao's eyes. She pinched the tea cup in her hand that looked simple and ordinary, but was actually made of fine jade, and chuckled.
"This man is quite smart. He acts steadily and is neither impatient nor impetuous. He has harmed Madam Yu for so many years without being noticed by anyone - he is sure that Madam will not be able to do it because of the general. I am willing to go back to the sad place of Zhaoge City, but there are no doctors with good medical skills and knowledge of unpopular madness in the small town of Pingzhou.
Of course, he obviously also knows something about Madam's character, and knows that you are an extremely strong lady who values dignity.
——If one day you suspect that you are crazy because of love, you will definitely hide your illness and avoid medical treatment, and dare not let outsiders know, so as not to lose the face of General Pingwei's Mansion and Yongzhou Ning Family. "
Ling You frowned and said: "So it seems... the person behind it is most likely someone who is acquainted with Madam, or at least someone who is acquainted with General Yu."
Mrs. Yu's expression changed drastically.
Although this is cruel, after eliminating all possibilities, the truth may be like this!
Xie Zhao nodded and sighed lightly.
"I guess they are similar. Even if they are not acquaintances, they must be acquaintances of General Pingwei or Mrs. Yu, so that they can find out so many details."
Yu Anan's face turned pale, "Who can be so ruthless? Did my father accidentally make friends during his lifetime and have a relationship with a tiger or wolf?"
Xie Zhao's index finger unconsciously tapped the top of the stone table. Seeing Mrs. Yu and his daughter being so frightened, he casually comforted:
"Of course, all the above may be just my guesses. Madam, there is no need to panic."
——However, based on past experience, her guesses about people and things...are nine out of ten times the truth. As for the remaining one...
That must be because the other party is really a hopeless lunatic, and what he says and does is completely beyond the scope of normal people's thinking and logic, so there is really nothing that can be done about Xie Zhao's guessing that he went astray.
Han Changsheng was stunned.
"... Damn it, you poisoned a well-educated lady from a well-known family into a weird madwoman that everyone laughed at? Or was it done by an acquaintance? Then this person is too much Isn’t that too vicious?”
Xie Zhao shook his head gently.
"This is not bad. Because he has his own fears, he has never dared to go too far. Otherwise, wouldn't there be many people in the world who are moody, ruthless, willing to kill people, and use force to imprison people?"
Ling You didn't quite agree.
He frowned and said: "The affairs of the rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes. The affairs of the court are in the court. The disputes and hatreds in the rivers and lakes and the courts should not involve the innocent women and children in the backyard of the inner house. Such behavior is not the behavior of a master."
Xie Zhao sighed lightly, and said with a smile: "Young Master Ling, you are right, but that is the style of an upright family. As for some crooked ways and those cunning and sycophantic ministers in the court, how can they care about that many?
——What's more, a person in the Mahayana realm can easily break a person's skull. That person can be regarded as a martial artist, but he may not be regarded as a martial arts master. There is only one word difference between 'good player' and 'master', but their state of mind and attitude are thousands of miles apart. Not all people in the world will restrain themselves and return to etiquette, because morality restricts their words and deeds. It is precisely because of this that in the temples in the four realms, the people in the rivers and lakes who are worried about the kings of various countries use force to violate the ban. "
Real martial arts masters have "Tao" in their hearts. No matter how moody the martial arts master is, they will never attack women and children who are not proficient in martial arts - bullying the weak by the strong is a humiliation of one's own status and the humiliation of the three-foot-long green front in the opponent. , let alone using such despicable poisoning methods?
True martial arts masters would naturally not act like this, but ordinary martial arts masters would not necessarily do so.
Ling was silent.
Han Changsheng was so anxious that a big pimple almost appeared on his forehead.
"But if this person is so ruthless, what should Mrs. Yu and her daughter do? Now that we have encountered him, we cannot ignore them."
Yu Anan hugged her mother tightly, her petal-like lips almost bloody from being bitten.
When she first heard about this incident, and when she thought that there might be a hidden reason for her father's death, she couldn't help but feel great grief.
Yu Anan not only hated her own incompetence for allowing her mother to be assassinated by a traitor for many years without realizing it...but she also felt confused and panicked. She was at a loss for the future, and she didn't know what to do as a weak woman. Avenge your father and mother.
Ling You took a step forward. His tone was calm, but somehow made people feel very reliable. Just listen to him say:
"Mrs. Yu, Miss Yu, General Pingwei has an old relationship with my master. Now that Ling has seen it, he will not sit back and let the two of them be harmed and ignore it, nor will he put his wife and young lady in danger. If so, There is nothing I can do, but please speak up, madam, Ling will never refuse."
Mrs. Yu paused slightly when she heard this.
She turned to look at Ling He's handsome face in a daze, as if she was looking through this face and the seventeen years of time to another person who was once unparalleled in splendor.
After being silent for a long time, Mrs. Yu seemed to have finally let go of something. She suddenly spoke and said calmly:
"Actually, you and your senior uncle have a vague resemblance between their eyebrows."
She smiled faintly, "Especially the way he spoke when he spoke, the rumors are true. Laojunshan has one foot in the world and one foot in the battlefield, and the breeze is upright."
