The Virtuous Wife

Chapter 65

Siqin whispered a few words in Jingyi's ear, and saw Jingyi's brows first frowned, then relaxed, and finally, a smile appeared on Jingyi's face.

"Brother, I already know the master behind her. It's up to her whether she wants to tell it or not. If she is willing to tell, she will be spared and returned to her master; if she is not willing to tell, then it is useless. There is no need for us to keep her for her master."

Madam Peng was stunned, her eyelids drooped, as if she was thinking about the truth of Jingyi's words. Jingyi ignored her and turned her head to Su Qing and said, "Brother, we should also go and meet Mr. Bai."

'Boom'! Madam Peng felt as if her head had exploded. What she heard repeatedly in her ears was the 'Mr. Bai' mentioned by Jingyi. Her eyes were a little scattered, and she obviously believed Jingyi's words completely.

"Second Miss, please spare me, spare me, Second Miss!" Aunt Peng sat up reluctantly and begged.

"Spare you? What's the reason?" Jingyi asked back.

"Second Miss, I'll tell you everything. It's true that I was sent by the young master, but I have never really harmed you and the lady! Those schemes were all from Bai, and it had nothing to do with me! Please spare me, Second Miss! Spare me!"

Jingyi chuckled twice, and the laughter was clearly gentle and pleasant, but to Aunt Peng, it was like the sound of the wind in the cold winter, icy and piercing, piercing her heart and lungs!

"Do you think that you can put all the blame on Bai because you killed her? I caught you just to be on the safe side. Now, that situation is no longer possible. Tell me, why do my brother and I keep you, the murderer who intended to murder my mother?"

Aunt Peng was stunned! Su Hua, who was standing by, kicked her to the ground again and looked at Su Qing.

Su Qing nodded at him, and then Su Hua blocked Aunt Peng's mouth and took her away.

"Is what my sister said true? Is the master behind her really the son of the Duke of Huguo?"

Jingyi nodded, "It's Bai Fei, the eldest son of Bai Peng, the son of the Duke of Huguo!"

"Bai Fei? The Bai Fei who claimed to have a chronic disease and couldn't go out for a long time?"

Siqin nodded and said, "That's right! I heard it clearly on the roof. They also captured one of Yu's men, a middle-aged man, who was quite skilled, but unfortunately he was no match for Bai Fei."

Jingyi said with a serious face, "They were so skilled, how could they not find you?"

Siqin blushed, "Since the last time the young lady discovered me, I and Si Mo have been practicing Qinggong every day, and what I have been learning is the art of hiding. Although my martial arts are not as good as his, he may not be able to find me."

Jingyi nodded, what she said made sense. There are many kinds of martial arts in this world. For example, Siqin and Simo mainly practice Qinggong and hiding, as well as killing skills! When fighting with others, they will kill with no mercy!

"Sister, what should we do now? Go directly to Mr. Bai?" Su Qing asked.

Jingyi shook her head, "No hurry! It's too early to find him now. I said that just now, just to scare Mrs. Peng, to see if she can say something useful, now it seems impossible."

"The bracelet you just mentioned?"

Jingyi smiled and said, "It's just a figment of the imagination. These greedy people took it seriously, how foolish!"

Su Qing saw that her face was calm, without a trace of concealment, and nodded.

Jingyi was relieved when he saw that he didn't ask any more questions. Such things are really related to Zhongda, and the people involved must be of high status. If people know that Pingnan Houfu is also involved, it will be very bad. Maybe not only his father's title will be lost, but also the lives of the whole family!

This secret involves too much, if it is not handled well, it will cost lives, she will not take risks with her relatives! Yuan Xi couldn't hide it, not to mention that he already had news about the treasure.

"Brother, do you still need to tell the second brother about this?" Jingyi asked.

Su Qing thought for a moment, "He is with the Sixth Prince all day long. If it affects his studies again, forget it."

Jingyi nodded. She thought so too. The second brother was only ten years old and honest. If he said it again, it would be troublesome.

"How does the eldest brother plan to deal with this Aunt Peng?"

"Humph! Murdering mother! Do you still think it's easy? Don't worry, sister, the eldest brother will naturally not let her live well, but he won't let her die so easily! She has kept my mother sick for months, how can I forgive her?"

Jingyi smiled and glanced at Su Qing. This eldest brother has indeed been with his uncle for a long time, and he is upright and has a clear distinction between love and hate. The reason why he didn't care about her and her mother before was probably because of his father's instructions. At that time, his father still believed that his stepmother was sincere to him and his second uncle, so he always treated her with courtesy. Now that I think about it, this Yu is really not simple. She can pretend to be a loving mother for nearly 30 years! This person really can't be underestimated!

"Brother, we have cleared out the people around Jingwei, I think there will be no more trouble with her? I wonder if there are also people planted by outsiders in the third brother's place?" Jingyi still said with some worry.

"Don't worry, sister. I will send someone to investigate this matter as soon as possible. Father no longer respects the old lady as much as before. Let's be careful! I will send someone to secretly investigate Su Qian and tell you. I hope that he is clean around him! Jing Wei is also pitiful. She was used by others without knowing it. Don't bother with her."

Jingyi shook her head and said, "Jingwei is pitiful because she was used by others. But pitiful people must be hateful! If she had no greed, how could outsiders use her? Is it just because she is stupid? No! The most important thing is that her mind is not right! If her mind is right, how can those people have the opportunity to attack?"

Su Qing was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect Jingyi to say such a thing. But on second thought, what she said was very reasonable! As the saying goes, flies don't stare at seamless eggs. Although this saying is rough, isn't it the truth? If Jingwei didn't have so many crooked thoughts, how could she be used by others?

Su Qing looked at the sister standing in front of him. She was wearing a light green dress with a white brocade belt in the middle. There was a green gem in the middle of the belt, which complemented the dress. The whole person looked elegant but with a hint of nobility. Especially the small bun on her head, with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally on it, and a small braid on each side, which looked lively and playful, but innocent and cute.

Su Qing sighed and said, "Sister, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Jingyi felt warm in her heart. This was different from the past. He knew that Su Qing approved of her approach, but for the sake of the Hou Mansion and the reputation of the old master, they could not touch the old lady for the time being.

Jingyi smiled lightly: "Brother, what are you talking about? I never feel wronged! I am very satisfied that so many people love me!"

Su Qing nodded: "It's good that you understand. After all, she is still our elder in name, and we don't have any actual evidence that she murdered mother and you. If this matter is now a big deal and alarms the emperor, my father will be punished for not managing the family strictly, or for being unfilial! No matter what the result is, it will be extremely unfavorable to our Hou Mansion, grandfather and father."

Jingyi nodded: "I understand. Big brother is a thoughtful person, and he is also thinking about the entire Hou Mansion. I am not that stupid." After saying that, she smiled lightly, said goodbye to Su Qing, and returned to her own small courtyard.

In the evening, after a rough dinner, Jingyi sent everyone away early. I was practicing calligraphy quietly at the table alone!

A black shadow flashed and landed behind Jingyi. The person who came was Yuanxi.

He stood behind her and looked at Jingyi quietly. Jingyi only wore a middle coat and an outer robe on the outside. It was only after Haitang repeatedly told her not to take it off. Her hair was all messed up, and then she tied it all behind her neck with a red rope. It was simple and beautiful, and it did not affect her calligraphy practice.

Yuanxi looked at her slightly thin figure behind her and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Such a small girl secretly did so many things that others dared not even think about! Discipline the aunt and save the biological mother! How could this be something a seven-year-old child should do?

Thinking about what happened today, who would have thought that such a little girl would carefully set up today's situation! Jingyi secretly ordered someone to put something in the old lady's bedroom last night. The old lady had someone enter the room last time, and she noticed it when she woke up the next day. So someone was secretly sent to guard the dark place of Heshou Hall! Jingyi used this to transfer the man away and put the things in. Sure enough, Aunt Peng sneaked into the old lady's room this morning!

Bai Fei thought that he had caught the middle-aged man, and that he had caught Yu's handle! But he didn't know that the mantis stalked the cicada, and the oriole was behind!

Jingyi secretly sent Siqin to secretly follow from a distance and found another secret base of Bai Fei! I really don't know whether to say that Bai Fei is stupid or Jingyi is too smart!
