The gray-haired old woman took a handkerchief and pushed the hair away from Yun Jiuxi's face, and saw that familiar face.
"This...isn't this Xiaojiu?"
"Xiaojiu?"
"What happened to my Xiaojiu? How did she look like this?" The old woman's eyes were red. She ignored the stains on Yun Jiuxi's body and lay on her body to cry.
"Uh...ahem...grandma"
"Hey, Xiaojiu, grandma is here!" Mrs. Lin gently stroked Yun Jiuxi's cheek, her eyes filled with tears.
"master!"
"What's the matter? You're so panicked!" Lin Boyuan, the old man, scolded in a low voice.
"Sir, the little lady's yard in the west wing was flooded. Everything was burned down, and everyone inside was burned to death!" Butler Lin Lin Bin knelt in front of Lin Expo Garden.
"What!"
Everyone's eyes widened, and they finally realized something was wrong. Yun Jiuxi appeared inexplicably at the side door, and the yard was burned into ruins. No matter how you looked at it, you felt that it was not simple.
"Xiaojiu, what happened!"
"Are you all just doing it for a living? How come no one noticed such a big thing last night!"
"Grandpa, grandma, I don't blame them, someone put something in our food, which made us all sleep soundly all night." Yun Jiuxi told the two old people intermittently everything that happened.
In an instant, Lin Boyuan's face turned red, and Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth, as if she could hear a "thumping" sound. No one expected that something like this would happen to the late Emperor's family. Someone dared to put poison in their food, and even kidnapped the legitimate daughter of the Yun family and killed her in a mass grave.
If my girl hadn't been clever and escaped by pretending to be dead, would her death have been in vain? I think the Diao slave who drugged him has already returned to the West, and the people behind the scenes are probably all wiped out.
"First go and ask the doctor to take a look at Xiaojiu's condition. Don't delay it and make it worse."
"No, Grandma."
"Xiaojiu, this is not the time to be willful. Your injuries are very serious. If you don't say anything, you may have scars on your face. It's hard to tell others when the time comes. What should I and your grandfather do?"
"Yes! Xiaojiu, listen to your grandmother!"
"Grandpa, if you want to invite me, please do it quietly and find a doctor you trust. Don't let other people know about this. The aunt who met me this morning should keep a close eye on me."
"Why? As a grandfather, I can't seek justice for my granddaughter? Then what is the use of me, the late emperor's master?" Lin Boyuan waved his sleeves heavily, hating that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
Lin Boyuan was married to Mrs. Lin Shu Yunqin throughout his life and gave birth to five children, including two daughters and three sons. Each of the three sons is an official in his own country, and one of the two daughters has married into an imperial family and is now called aunt. The other little daughter is Yun Jiuxi's mother.
The Yun family had many heirs, and Yun Jiuxi ranked ninth, hence the name Jiuxi. Yun Jiuxi also had a sister, but when Yun Jiuxi was born, the dynasty was changing. Mrs. Yun suffered some hardships, which caused Yun Jiuxi's health to be poor.
The south of the Yangtze River is like spring all year round, and the climate is mild, suitable for self-cultivation. Yun Jiuxi lives here all year round with the Lin family who resigned and retired to hermitage. The name Jiuxi was also blessed by the abbot of Hongguang Temple. It is a unique name in the Yun family and does not follow the bamboo-named generation of this generation.
"Grandpa, I don't want the person who wants to kill me to know that I'm still alive. When I was unconscious, I vaguely heard the voice of the imperial concubine. If we insist on pursuing this matter, I'm afraid both the Yunlin family will be implicated."
"Our new emperor is not someone who thinks about the old relationship of the late emperor. The Yun family is already quite jealous in the capital because of its big tree, so do I want to let the Yun family be completely ruined because of me?"
"Alas!" The shoulders of the two old people slumped. Mrs. Lin sat next to Yun Jiuxi, wiping her tears. Lin Boyuan waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to find Dr. Wen on South Street. He was the grandson of his old friend. The two had a deep friendship and would not leak any secrets.
"Grandpa, don't forget to take this opportunity to ask for some compensation. After all, it was his wife and concubines who committed the crime. We can't let us swallow the coptis!"
"You don't have to worry about it now, little girl. But, what are you going to do next, Xiaojiu? Is it possible that I really have to hold a funeral?"
"Yes." After Yun Jiuxi learned that the plot collapsed, she had already thought about how to deal with it. Since she wanted her to die, then she would die. Isn't death sometimes the most perfect way?
"you!"
"Grandpa, that is the imperial concubine. Even if she is not favored, so what? Everything has to do with that person. Who knows what it has to do with that person?"
"Okay, it's not easy to deal with your mother!" Lin Boyuan looked at the blue sky. He didn't expect that he had worked hard for half his life, but in the end he couldn't even protect his own children. How would he face the ancestors of the Lin family in the future? Liezong!
Yun Jiuxi was recuperating secretly in the Lin Mansion. After taking a dose of traditional Chinese medicine with Wen Ruchu, the scars on her body became pink and tender again, leaving only a few traces on her cheeks. They were really stubborn. For nearly two months, there were still faint traces. mark.
The emperor took the Lin family's unprovoked fire very seriously and gave the Lin family boxes of treasures as compensation. He wanted to allow Lin Boyuan to rejoin the court as an official, but his intentions were difficult to understand. The matter has been in the investigation stage, and the Yun family secretly used their efforts. In March, the results finally came out.
A man in gray clothes who claimed to have a grudge against the Lin family confessed the "truth" under torture. It was probably that when he was young, the elders of the family were on good terms with Lin Boyuan. They were in the wrong team, were demoted and exiled, and suffered hardships. He holds a grudge.
Taking advantage of the holiday shopping, he sneaked into the house, put the drug into the ingredients, and wanted to burn down the Lin Mansion to avenge him for not helping him back then.
"Hmph! That's great. I killed countless people that year and exiled countless others. But you use this kind of excuse to fool me. Do you really think that I am old and stupid?" Lin Boyuan slapped the table, his eyes full. It's anger. He never expected that he would be so perfunctory. Even Yun Jiuxi's death was an unforeseen disaster, so he was given a little extra gold and silver as compensation.
"I'm so angry!" Lin Boyuan walked around the courtyard, his neat hair a bit messy.
"So what do we do now?"
"Grandpa, it's time to hold my funeral." Yun Jiuxi sipped the tea calmly, without any mood swings.
"Xiaojiu, aren't you angry?"
"What's the use of being angry? It's just hurting your own body. How much damage can it do to others?"
"yes!"
"If I forget, the imperial concubine is somewhat similar to me! I guess it was this face that caused the trouble."
"Is there such a coincidence in the world? Could it be that Yun Jian'an did something shameful behind Mrs. Lin's back?"
"No, my father is not that kind of person. For many years, my mother was the only one in the courtyard. With my father's status, why should I be secretive when I don't want anything? My mother is also the kind of person with a petty heart."
"Have a good death! Hahaha! Finally I have no worries!" The woman held a bronze mirror and admired this hard-won face.
