Chapter 558 Doubt
Su Yiqing was shocked when she learned from Mrs. Quan that General Shao Li and her children disappeared. She was very shocked. Her first reaction was that it was not done by Lian Yufeng?
Mrs. Quan Si said that the Shao family inquired everywhere, but there was no news at all. Several living people disappeared out of thin air. It was really strange. The Shao family did not dare to report the case, but the Yancheng Government Office still intervened and turned the Shao family to the bottom, but there was still no clue.
Su Yiqing wanted to ask Lian Yufeng, but she felt that the relationship between them was a little nervous recently and could not question it based on her own guesses. If it weren't for Lian Yufeng's doing it, it would be too heartbreaking. After all, General Shao's wife and children are both women and children, and it is the most despicable act to attack women and children.
But he was really worried, and Su Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
At this time, Lian Yufeng took the initiative to come to find her.
Looking at the chessboard placed in Su Yiqing's room, Lian Yufeng asked: "When did you like playing chess?"
Su Yiqing whispered: "I don't like it either. I have nothing to do. I have to pass the time when I am free. This chess is also good, so it can make people concentrate and focus."
"Follow yourself?" Lian Yufeng smiled, "Maybe I can accompany you to have a plate?"
Su Yiqing shook her head, "No... I'm not good at this. I think you must be a master. It's not interesting to have you give in to you. If you do your best, I will lose too quickly, which is even more boring."
"Who said I must be a master of chess?" Lian Yufeng said lightly, "Actually, my chess skills are not good. I think I rarely spend any effort on things like this kind of game."
"That's right, you focus on real things and won't waste time on it." Su Yiqing said casually, then felt something was wrong and said something wrong, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the other person's eyes again.
Lian Yufeng sighed slightly: "You don't understand me...or, you no longer believe me, right?"
Su Yiqing lowered her eyes, clenched her fists slightly, pinched her nails into the flesh, and reminded herself with a little bit of stinging pain, not to be soft-hearted or say unrealistic words to perfunctory, as that would cause greater harm and not be good to oneself and others. Then she said: "It's not that I don't believe you, but people can't blindly believe others...or you and me have never lacked the foundation of trust. After all, there are many things between you and me that cannot be told to each other. Concealing is not malicious, but I always feel something in my heart."
"Why do you have to know something that has nothing to do with you?" Lian Yufeng's expression was helpless.
"Do you think I should ignore everything around me?" Su Yiqing raised her eyes and looked at Lian Yufeng, "If this were the case, you shouldn't have married me at the beginning. You should know that I am not the kind of person who can eat and drink enough. I can really not care about anything. I am not the me today."
What Su Yiqing wanted to say even if Lian Yufeng just wanted an obedient and gentle wife, there were still many such girls in Yancheng. Although most of the girls who grew up in the mansion were scheming and even some were really not very good, they were still kind and kind. Even Yufeng had the intention, he would definitely find such a wife.
After all, she and him are not suitable for the end. This has nothing to do with whether she and him are incompatible, whether they are incompatible with each other, their environment, personality, etc., which makes them unable to live a peaceful life like a normal couple, and they are even worse than some couples who have bad relationships and quarrels every day.
Some quarrels mean that there is still room for negotiation or compromise, but she and him can't even quarrel, so they are consuming their originally supposed feelings, and in the end they are exhausted.
Sadly, she didn't know what it was for, and naturally there was no solution.
There were several times when she wanted to ask him directly whether he wanted to reach the highest position, but she was afraid that he would know his answer, and she would be afraid that if he told her directly, what would she do? Should she do her best to help him? Or should she continue to be an ostrich and hide in her own world and ignore it?
To help him, she felt that she could not do it without the ability and turned a blind eye to her, so she chose not to face this problem or find the answer, and maybe this matter would pass.
She kept comforting herself, probably not. After all, it was not easy to get that position. No matter how she didn't understand the affairs in the court, she knew that he was still far away from that position and could not easily achieve it. Everything he did was not as good as he wanted that position.
At least, if he really wants that position, he shouldn't marry her, but should marry a more well-matched lady and rely on the power of the Yue family to achieve his goal.
But she really didn't know why he wanted to marry her. If she had just used some kind of use, she wouldn't have let her give birth to their children. Because of the common child, they could not easily draw a line between them. If her identity was exposed that day, it would definitely have a great impact on him, and there would be speculations in all aspects.
She couldn't imagine how he would face it when that time came. He comforted her before and said that if there was a real possibility, he would have a solution, but he never said what the solution was. Is there no solution at all? This is just a comfort.
Or to think worse, he would not let the matter be exposed at all. For this reason, he would do anything to eradicate all people who know and may disclose the secret, such as Xiner.
Even Yufeng kept looking at Su Yiqing. Regarding Su Yiqing's previous question, he answered for a long time: "As a woman and a wife, you don't want you to ignore it, but you should also know not to be too entangled. After all, you know that even if you are a couple, sometimes men cannot tell women everything when doing things outside."
Su Yiqing whispered: "I don't want to know what you did outside, but I care whether what you did was wrong. I don't ask my husband to be an open and upright gentleman, but at least, he won't do too much evil."
"So, do you think I will attack women and children now?" Lian Yufeng raised his eyebrows, his tone of indescribable disappointment.
Su Yiqing felt a little uncomfortable, but when she said this, she couldn't retreat and gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you want to know what kind of connection does General Shao have with me?"
Lian Yufeng said: "Her name is Du Juan. Her sister Feng Rou has followed me before. Speaking of which, she has stayed in the princess's house for a while. It should have known you at that time, right? You have always been kind-hearted, especially those women with bumpy fates. Maybe you have taken care of her during that period."
"Do you know?" Su Yiqing was a little surprised and then said, "When did you know?"
"It was not the same time you thought, a long time ago, when she became General Shao's wife, I knew it. After all, Shao Li and I had some political disagreements, so I was a little careful. Even Yufeng paused, looked at Su Yiqing, and said, "You can understand that I have some villain in my investigation of the backyard."
Su Yiqing lowered her head and stopped talking, saying that it was because the villain was thinking too much, but her confirmation was that Lian Yufeng always stared at other people's backyard and took advantage of the rift between women to make a big fuss to achieve her own goals. This method was a bit too vague.
Lian Yufeng continued, "So Lu Teng told me that you have met General Shao's wife and behaved a little abnormally after coming back. I knew what it was for, but I didn't mean to do anything. After all, Shao Li is not an ordinary person, so it is not easy to touch his wife and children."
"But... Du Juan and the child are both missing now, what's going on?" Su Yiqing couldn't help but ask.
Lian Yufeng spread his hands, "I don't know everything. To be honest, I don't know what's going on. I'm still under investigation."
Su Yiqing said: "You really have no clues?"
"What do you think I will know?" Lian Yufeng asked back.
"I don't know." Su Yiqing was a little depressed, just thinking that this matter seemed a bit strange, which was too coincidental.
"Why don't you think of an answer yourself?" Lian Yufeng smiled, "I can give you a few tips. There can only be two reasons for a woman missing with her child. One of them ran away from home with her child, and the other one was taken away by someone. There are different reasons for these two reasons. If she ran away from home with her child, then there are reasons for her family that she can't stay. If someone is taken away, there are naturally different reasons."
Su Yiqing thought that Mrs. Quan Si did say that Mrs. Shao and his wife were very distorted and were making trouble all day long at home. Du Juan was just a weak woman, and she dragged her children. She didn't want to get too entangled with Mr. Shao and his wife, so it was possible that she temporarily hid out, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt something was wrong.
After all, Du Juan is already the general's wife. No matter what kind of background she was from before, she now has to take care of her identity or General Shao's face.
If you run away from home like that, how can you face all kinds of speculations and doubts when you come back in the future? A woman with fairness can also become a good person, but after becoming a good person, it will be difficult to clear up in her life.
Even for the sake of her children, Du Juan should not do this. If she really wants to avoid Mr. Shao and his wife, she can hide in the nunnery like last time without sacrificing her reputation.
Even Yufeng seemed to be able to guess what Su Yiqing thought, and said lightly: "You must have seen a lot of cruelty in the inner house dispute. Some vicious people are not so easy to avoid."
Su Yiqing frowned slightly. Did Yufeng mean that Mr. Shao and his wife wanted to kill Du Juan and his son? Thinking of this, she said: "Du Juan has also seen the world, so she should not be easily plotted against?"
"Defend day and night, it is difficult for thieves from home." Lian Yufeng said lightly, "As long as you live under the eaves together, there will be times when you are unpredictable. Speaking of which, if you don't see anyone in your life, you won't die. The matter has only been heard after these days. How is Mr. Shao really going to take Du Juan and his son? He just find a sack and put it in a carriage to transport it out of the city, dig a hole and bury it. Without knowing it, where can I find it?"
"How is that possible?" Su Yiqing was shocked by Lian Yufeng's speculation. These were three lives. Is Uncle Shao so bold? He dared to openly kill his sister-in-law, nephew and nieces.
Lian Yufeng asked: "Do you think Mr. Shao doesn't have the courage, or do you think things are difficult?"
Su Yiqing thought for a while and said, "Du Juan has maids and servants around him. If Mr. Shao and his wife really want to kill people quietly and then get out of the house, it is not easy. The Shao family is also from a high-gate courtyard. How could they avoid everyone's eyes and ears?"
"I don't know this." Lian Yufeng said immediately, "I only know now that the Yancheng Prefectural Order Zhu Ying has started to spread the servants of the Shao family to the court to see if he can interrogate anything. Since you are concerned about this matter, I will order people to pay more attention to it. I will tell you immediately when there is news. In short, this matter has nothing to do with me, and you are more at ease now."
Well, Su Yiqing admitted that she felt a little sympathetic to Du Juan and his son, but as long as this matter has nothing to do with Lian Yufeng, then this matter has nothing to do with her, and she can indeed feel at ease.
At the same time, Yancheng Government Office.
Zhu Ying was interrogating the servants of the Shao family, just as Lian Yufeng said.
The servants began to shake their heads one by one, saying that they didn't know anything, and they didn't see their wife going out. But Zhu Ying was so old that he could tell who was lying after a glance. He immediately gave some punishment to two seemingly tricky mothers.
The woman was not very hard, so she admitted that on the day the general's wife and the child disappeared, she was just drinking and lazy, so she did not guard the corner gate, and she didn't know who had entered and exited the corner gate.
Zhu Yingshun looked at the clues and asked the woman how she ate wine with others and who invited her?
The old lady admitted that it was a small wine invited by the nanny beside Mrs. Shao, and the wine and food were brought by this nanny.
Zhu Ying immediately brought the nanny next to Mrs. Shao.
At first, the nanny was also stubborn, saying that the owner had given some wine and food, but she couldn't finish it alone, so she invited the gatekeeper to eat with her. She didn't know anything about General Shao's disappearance.
Zhu Yingqirong the nanny escaped. Speaking of which, the two rooms of the Shao family were separated. The nanny had good wine and food and didn't eat with the people in her room. She ran to another room to eat with the nanny who was several levels lower than her. Who believed this?
He interrogated other servants of the Shao family, and they all said that the nanny next to Mrs. Shao had self-identity and rarely talked to them, let alone drinking.
It was during this period that for some reason, I invited the gatekeepers to have a drink every now and then. Everyone thought it was a bit weird? But I didn't think too much about it.
