Chapter 399

On this day, Xie Yi Ren didn’t take her leave until late afternoon, personally sending her away, the nursemaid led Jian Qing Yue to freshen up again, Song Yixiao returned to the back hall with the bell, and the smile on her face faded.

“Is madam troubled by the letter sent by Marquis Boling a few days ago?” Bell made her a tea and asked in a warm voice.

“I usually have nothing to do with him, he suddenly wrote to invite me to meet him alone, I really can’t figure it out!” Song Yixiao took the tea and sipped it, hanging her eyelashes and said, “The appointment will be on the day after tomorrow, and on that day, my husband will be on duty, so I’m free – just in the end, whether or not I want to go, I haven’t thought about it yet.”

After Wei Mengying’s death, Song Yixiao has been secretly pursuing the truth.

But because this year only to Cuihua Mountain to catch the smallpox thing, half of the summer period, Jane virtual white father and daughter are out of the flower, and then healed, and busy for the second son of the things with the emperor after the sin, as well as for the smallpox during the care of the elders such as the Grand Princess of Jin door to door to say thank you.

It’s hard to take a breather, you have to pack up and go back to the empire.

When I came back, this side of the transition was back on the agenda.

So busy all the way down, the matter of tracking down the truth about the death of the birth mother was naturally put on hold for the time being.

But I didn’t expect that Yuan Xue Pei would suddenly and quietly send a letter over.

The letter was short, only saying that there was something important that he wanted to talk to her alone, and he hoped that he would not let Jane Void White know about it.

In fact, Song Yixiao will not tell the truth, the reason why she hesitated to go to the appointment, but it is not because she could not understand Yuan Xue Pei’s purpose.

It was precisely because she had vaguely guessed the purpose of this Marquis Boling.

I’m afraid, it’s related to Wei Meng Ying’s death!

After suspecting Lu, combined with the fact that Lu had been exposed by her sister-in-law as having close dealings with Yuan Xue Pei, even prompting Empress Wei to inquire personally, Song Yixiao could not fail to guess that Lu’s dealings with Yuan Xue Pei might not necessarily be personal, but were most likely a conspiracy to murder her own mother. How could Song Yixiao not guess that Lu’s association with Yuan Xue Pei may not be a personal affair, but most likely a conspiracy to murder her own mother?

Yuan Xue Pei has always been shrewd, so I think she guessed this point, so she took the initiative to write to herself, right?

“Since he wants to ask me to talk, he obviously has an argument.” Song Yixiao felt heavy hearted just thinking about it, she knew her own mother’s behavior too well, and at some point she had ruthlessly screwed over the Yuan family siblings to the point of provoking Yuan Xue Pei’s murderous intentions!

And then what is she going to do?

She couldn’t bear the thought of continuing to seek vengeance in good conscience, but she felt equally uneasy about letting it go – a real dilemma!

Song Yixiao slowly sipped her tea, countless thoughts turned through her mind, and she couldn’t help but let out a disheartened, dark sigh, “It would have been better to not investigate earlier and pretend not to know anything!”

However, this thought is just to think about it – not for Wei Mengying, but for her sister Lu Zuier, unless she did not notice the suspicion, or else how to get to the bottom of it.

“To go, or not to go?” Song Yixiao weighed the pros and cons: it had been half a year since Wei Mengying’s death, and it wasn’t a good idea to keep this matter weighing on her mind.

Honestly Song Yixiao was hoping to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible and bring this matter to an end.

Not only for the sake of settling a matter in her own heart, but also for the sake of Lu Guanyun and Lu Zhuo’er – her two younger siblings were still young, and the people around them didn’t tell them about these grudges. But children will eventually grow up, and when the time comes, even if the subordinates don’t spill the beans, they might want to ask themselves.

Song Yixiao didn’t want them to come back to carry this burden, so she calculated that before they grew up, she would clear the account herself.

Elder sister is like a mother, although Song YiXiao already has Jane QingYue in her lap, it’s impossible to look after Lu Guanyun and Lu Zhuoer like a real loving mother, but she still wants to clear the thorns in her younger siblings’ future as much as possible.

It’s just that after Song Yixiao decided to go to the appointment after a long time, she wasn’t too sure about Yuan Xue Pei.

Since this person was able to conspire with Lu to harm Wei Mengying, who knows if he will do it to her?

It was true that Jian Xubai valued his wife, but Song Yixiao knew that Jian Xubai also took Yuan Xue Pei as a brother.

He may pull the plug for his wife between his brother and his wife, and it is … hard to tell if he is really asked to kill his brother for his wife.

What’s more, even if he was willing to do this, Song Yixiao would be gone by then, and what would she do with her siblings, her daughter?

“If that Marquis Yuan is really the mastermind behind our Lady Wangfei’s death, then he will definitely have bad intentions towards you, ma’am!” Bell whispered softly, “That’s why the slave girl thinks that you mustn’t go, ma’am – after all, our manpower is limited, so what if we fall prey to his hidden hands? In order to be safe, unless it is to seek help from the Duke. However, some of the things of the Queen Consort’s wife are not good enough to tell His Excellency! This matter …”

As Wei Mengying’s old servant, and an old servant who relied on her, Bell still had ideas about avenging Wei Mengying’s death.

Since the shift in stance, however, that thought is fading.

The reason is simple: the suspects that have been identified so far, with Lu and the Boleh Marquis bearing the brunt!

And these two, Song Yixiao may not be unable to retaliate, the problem is the cost of retaliation: Lu’s how to say is also Song Yixiao’s mother’s stepmother, Yuan Xue Pei and Jian Xubai is more of a childhood friendship – the former Lu’s family recently destroyed, the Song family orphans and widows, it is the most sympathetic time, no matter reasonable or not, who would this to Lu’s what, public opinion will also be enough to drink! A pot of public opinion!

As for the latter, there is no chance that it will directly affect the couple’s relationship!

And Suzu now turned to Song Yixiao, of course, to worry about the new master in order to avenge the old master fell into disgrace, or even out of favor – anyway, the old master is gone, can not tell the new backer also fell ah!

At this moment, she said, “But this matter, ma’am, you’ve been hanging on to it for days, and it’s not a good idea to keep dragging it out. I’d like to let my servant go on your behalf and see what Marquis Yuan has to say, right? I’m sure Marquis Yuan won’t be so angry with you for the sake of his life, so it’s safer for me to go. So it’s safer if you go! Moreover, even if Marquis Yuan has set up some traps, if something happens to the slave girl, it will still give you a reminder!”

–As long as Song Yixiao agrees to let her attend the appointment on her behalf, regardless of whether Yuan Xuepei was involved in Wei Mengying’s death or not, she will whitewash him any way she can, and even whitewash the Lu’s as well!

But Song Yixiao turned the tea bowl and was silent for a long time, but shook his head, “No, it’s better for me to go personally!”

She lifted her head and looked up at the green-blue sky in the court, “Some things have to be faced eventually unless one hides for the rest of one’s life.”

And if she had to hide for the rest of her life, she could have done nothing initially, believing that everything was the sin of Old Lady Pang.

Suzu was anxious, “Then what if Marquis Yuan has set up a trap?”

“I’ll follow the instructions on the letter and not tell my husband, but I didn’t say that I wouldn’t take the people from the State Duke’s Office with me!” Song Yi smiled at her and said lightly, “So you don’t have to worry about my safety, and I’m sure Yuan Xue Pei won’t be able to do it in front of the guards of the State Duke’s Office!”

She wasn’t stupid, since she suspected that Yuan Xue Pei would be unfavorable to her, how could she still use only her own manpower?

With the caliber of the people in her hand, only half a block after following the other Boling Hou was carried by the neck to the alley and forced to ask, how could she be assured of handing over her safety to such a henchman?

As for the fact that the use of the guards of the State Duke’s residence would certainly not be concealed from Jian Xubai, and how to explain it to her husband afterward – let’s talk about it when the time comes!

After all, it was the showdown that bothered her the most at the moment.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day quickly arrived when Yuan Xue Pei agreed.

The location was at a tea house in the north of the city.

This tea house was in a very remote location, with not many people around, I think this was the reason why Yuan Xue Pei would choose it.

However, he still wrapped up the entire tea house to clear the scene – Song Yixiao arrived, Yuan Xue Pei personally welcomed at the door, saw the escort Yu Shi Heng and others did not show disappointment or surprise, but also pleasant with Yu Shi Heng greeted, “I heard that you will soon be a father? This is really a joyous occasion.”

Song Yixiao, however, was in no mood to exchange pleasantries with him, and after getting off the bus, he held up his cap and asked straight, “Go in and talk?”

“Please!” Yuan Xue Pei sniffed and stopped paying attention to Yu Shi Heng, turned his wheelchair and said to his guests, “The courtyard of this tea shop is quite impressive, let’s talk in the courtyard!”

–He said that there is something to see, but because this tea shop atrium is very broad, but there is nothing in the interior furnishings, even at a glance, only in the middle of the position of a person-high rockery, on the construction of pavilions.

Standing at any angle around, one could see clearly what was happening in the pavilion.

“What do you think of this place, ma’am?” Yuan Xue Pei looked at Song Yi and smiled imploring Yu Shi Heng to arrange for the guards to check the pavilion wigwam all over before saying peacefully, “You and I will go into the pavilion to talk freely while the rest of the people guard the surroundings, is that good?”

Song Yixiao stared at him for a moment before saying, “Good!”
