Chapter 62: Secrets that cannot be told 2

Following the old man Jiang Lang, he came to a small house in the corner of the yard. The doors and windows of the cottage were closed, and they didn't look like someone else's.

The old man did not stop, gently pushed open the door, then bent down and said respectfully: "Master, the guest has brought it,"

Jiang Lang also looked into the house at this time, and saw that the Buddha statue was worshipped in the innermost part of the house. In front of the Buddha statue was a spirit card. A pair of white candles in front of the spirit card added a ray of light to the house. There were several cushions on the ground in front of the spirit card, and a haggard man was staring at the spirit card blankly, and there was almost no anger on him.

"Is this Yang Ren?"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but have some questions.

Seeing that Yang Ren did not respond, the old man sighed and said, "Oh, since the death of his wife, the master has been like this. If there is anything wrong with him, please take care of him."

Jiang Lang smiled slightly, nodded, then walked in, went to the spirit card, bent down his waist, and bowed respectfully three times. He admired Xu Ru Niang from the bottom of his heart, and this respect was not false.

Yang Ren still looked at Lingpai with a dazed look on his face, and said with a little weak voice: "What are you here to do again? Now that your mother is dead, are you still not satisfied?"

Jiang Lang raised his head and stared at the spirit card tightly. He did not answer Yang Ren's words, but said lightly: "She is very brave." He said with respect.

"brave?"

Yang Ren said with a hint of disdain in his words, "What's the use of being brave? Now that people are dead, we orphans and widows are left behind. Is this called bravery?"

Speaking of this, Yang Ren was a little excited. He couldn't help but hold his fists, turned his head violently, and said, "Two months ago, the person who also held such a token found Ru Niang. After he left, Ru Niang suddenly fell ill, and the second time he died, the doctor had no choice. I think her body has always been very strong, how could she suddenly fall ill? Don't say that this has nothing to do with you!"

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's related, because I don't know the truth of the matter. I only know that Ru Niang loves someone very much."

"who?"

Yang Ren asked immediately.

Jiang Lang whispered: "Princess!"

Yang Ren was stunned, repeated, and said, "Princess?"

Jiang Lang nodded, raised his feet, then sat on the cushion, still looking at the spirit card, and said, "The third prince's daughter, Princess Zhu Yuqi. I think I should know it too."

Yang Ren nodded and said, "I know this. The princess was raised by Ru Niang since she was a child. Even after Ru Niang married me, she has come to Fuzhou many times to live."

"In her heart, this princess is like her daughter, right?"

Jiang Lang said softly, then turned his head to look at Yang Ren and said, "What do you think?"

Yang Ren was stunned and didn't understand what Jiang Lang meant, but he nodded and said, "Ru Niang often mentions the princess. She usually said that the happiest thing in her life is to bring a daughter and a son, and this daughter refers to the princess. As you said, in her heart, this princess is like a daughter."

After hearing this, Jiang Lang said seriously: "This is also the reason why she died of illness suddenly."

Yang Ren's body was shocked and looked at Jiang Lang with some surprise. He suddenly came into contact with the truth of the incident, which made him a little at a loss, and his eyes seemed to see through Jiang Lang.

Facing his gaze, Jiang Lang was very calm and did not avoid it. He knew the cause and effect of the matter, but the poor man who had lost his wife in front of him was completely unaware of it. Zhu Yuqi would stay in Fuzhou for a long time. Even if the famous Tumu Fort Battle and Wang Zhen were killed, there would be two years left. In the past two years, she would have to live in Fuzhou. If she didn't explain it clearly now, Yang Ren would definitely focus his resentment on Zhu Yuqi. A literati had a problem. Once his mind was confused, it would be deeply rooted. In order to stay here safely in the future, Jiang Lang felt that he should tell the matter out. Similarly, Yang Ren also had the right to know the truth.

After a long time, Yang Ren took a deep breath and said, "You said!"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Just a few days before your wife passed away, Wang Zhen suddenly proposed marriage to the prince, hoping that he would marry the princess to his godson, which is now the thousand-house Wang Zhongshu of the Dongchang, which was flatly rejected by the prince. However, now that the court is controlled by Wang Zhen, the emperor also favors him very much, so the prince knew that Wang Zhen would not give up and would definitely let the emperor issue an order to give a marriage. After understanding this, in order to protect the princess, the prince had to make a bad decision and sent someone to Fuzhou. Because the prince knew that only in this way would the princess have a very good reason to refuse the emperor's marriage, although this method...!"

Jiang Lang turned his eyes to the spirit card again and said in a deep voice: "The price is your wife's departure."

Yang Renteng stood up, pointed at Jiang Lang, and said angrily: "I was right. Ru Niang's death was indeed a thug of the third prince. He is a dignified prince. Can he play with the lives of us ordinary people like this?"

Because of anger, Yang Ren's face looked a little ferocious and paler.

Jiang Lang ignored him and said lightly: "You should have finished listening to me. If you make such a fuss, your wife's death will be in vain!"

"I don't want to listen!"

Yang Ren said angrily, "I want to report to the official, even if it is the prince, I will sue him."

"You have to listen!"

Jiang Lang said in a deep voice, "Are you willing to see your wife die in vain and go against her last wishes? If I was not wrong, I would definitely explain to you again before your wife leaves?"

Yang Ren was stunned, the anger on his face gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help but think of the scene two months ago. The words his wife had left when she said, "Yes, the last thing she said to me is that Qi'er is here, and treat her like her own daughter."

Jiang Lang's heart trembled. In fact, he was confused just now. Based on his feelings, Ru Niang would definitely give this man an explanation when he passed away, so he said that. Now he heard Yang Ren say this, "Now you should know why Ru Niang's intentions? In her heart, the princess who brought himself up to him was completely his own daughter. He was pitiful to the heart of all parents in the world. For the happiness of his daughter, she took her life as the price. If you make such a fuss, not only will the princess but the prince be in a dilemma, but he will even be charged with deceiving the king. Even your wife, in the underworld, can she be named? You should know how great it is to deceive the king."

Yang Ren suddenly felt his feet weak, and his strength seemed to have been pulled away. He sat on the futon and murmured, "How could this be the case?"

Jiang Lang looked at Yang Ren and continued, "Maybe you don't know who Wang Zhen is. Wang Zhen is an eunuch and the factory owner of the Dongchang, and Wang Zhongshu is a thousand households in the Dongchang. In order to control the government, many upright ministers in the court died after their father and son. He asked Wang Zhongshu to take the princess as his wife, just to use the prince's reputation to consolidate his position in the court. The princess is just a tool for him to achieve his goal. If he married him, how could happiness come? If it was your own daughter, would you be willing to watch her jump out of the fire pit and fall into a state of doom? And your wife also regarded the princess as her daughter, willing to exchange her death for her happiness. I think she must be very peaceful when she left."

Yang Ren couldn't help but see Ru Niang's death with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Now he understood that even if she was on the verge of death, Ru Niang had no fear in her heart, but was relieved. She left not because she was forced to protect her daughter, but because she was willing to look so calm and peaceful.

Yang Renzai couldn't help it anymore, and pounced on the cushion and started crying. More than two months of doubt and more than two months of confusion were clear in Jiang Lang's words, but...

Jiang Lang did not stop him. He knew that he had cried when his best comrade-in-arms died. After the captain had cried enough, he punched himself hard. The punch was still in his heart. At the same time, there was a roaring sentence from the captain: If it were me, I would kill those dog gods while crying.

The two of them fell into their own memories.

After a long time, Yang Ren, who had cried enough, raised his head, wiped his eyes that were already red with tears with his sleeves, and asked, "Has the princess been in Fuzhou?"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Yes, we encountered a lot of dangers along the way, but fortunately we avoided it and arrived here."

"Then I'm going to see her."

Yang Ren got up after saying that.

Jiang Lang immediately spoke, "Wait! Now is not the time."

Yang Ren was stunned and said, "Why? When Ru Niang left, she asked me to take good care of the princess."

"I know!"

Jiang Lang nodded, then pointed at him and said, "You are now, the princess knows that there is something wrong with you. Moreover, because of the death of Mrs. Gui, she is very depressed, so we plan to let her stay in the inn for two days before coming to the mansion. In the future, the princess will rely on you to take care of her. Also, don't tell her the cause of her death for the time being, I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand the blow."

Yang Ren couldn't help but nodded. Jiang Lang's words were right and very careful. With a hint of surprise, he looked at Jiang Lang and asked, "Can you tell me your name?"

"Wang Dacai."
