Nice to meet you [Quick Transmigration]

Mrs. Madam?

Sheng Li and Xia Tian looked at each other, there were only two of them in the bamboo grove at the moment, the old woman obviously mistook them for other people, seeing the old woman with disheveled hair and tears streaming down her face, she looked very miserable, she couldn't bear to see a The old woman showed such a gesture, and the two stepped forward to help her up, telling her that she had recognized the wrong person.

However, at this moment, it was dusk and the bamboo grove was dark. From the eyes of the old woman, they clearly appeared from the ground suddenly. She was very familiar with their appearance and appearance. They were clearly fierce ghosts who came to seek their lives!

Seeing them approaching, the old woman trembled more and more, her complexion became even paler, her whole body was weak because of her guilty conscience, she couldn't even crawl with her hands and feet, so she turned around and knelt down towards the two of them, kowtowing repeatedly , Knocking and crying.

"Master and Madam, it's the fault of this old slave. This old slave shouldn't be an accomplice in greed for property, but this old slave burns paper money for you every year. If you want to find it, you should go to the second master and second lady! Please, please!" Please let me go!"

Sheng Li and Xia Tian couldn't understand what they heard, they almost lost their breath when they saw the old woman crying, if they cried any more, they might die on the spot, so they helplessly stretched out their hands to help.

When the old woman kowtowed and saw the hand stretched out in front of her, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to lift her head, so she continued to cry: "Master, madam, I'm just greedy for money, and I'm not guilty of death! It's the second master! It's the second." The master used the knife, and the second lady gave the medicine! I was just a lookout, and I didn’t dare to see the light of my life all these years..." She was anxious and afraid, and couldn't bring it up in one breath, and fainted on the spot.

"What... what should I do?" Xia Tian was stunned, looking at the old woman who was limp on the ground, rather embarrassed.

Now they deliberately changed their outfits to go out, in order to hide their eyes and ears, so as not to attract too many people's attention, but if they really helped her out, how many eyes would be attracted by two young people holding a fainted old woman, but If you just leave people here, the bamboo forest is cold and inaccessible at night, they chose to pass through the bamboo forest to avoid encountering people, and seeing that the old woman's clothes are thin, if they are just left in the bamboo forest like this, I'm afraid they will die accident.

Sheng Li thought for a moment, then said: "Xia Xia, put her by the bamboo forest, and I'll lure a monk over."

Xia Tian nodded. The skirt was inconvenient to move, so he lifted up the skirt and tucked it into the belt, and rolled the wide sleeves to the shoulders, revealing two slender white arms, and passed his hands under the old woman's armpits. With a sound of "Hey Yo", he bowed his waist and dragged the person back vigorously, without any "dignified and virtuous" appearance.

Sheng Li glanced back, just in time to see the little fox's bulging cheeks, he couldn't help laughing, but the next moment his eyes caught a glimpse of emerald green, he looked serious, walked back a few steps, raised his hand to stop Xia Tian Actions.

"What's the matter, master?" Xia Tian looked at it, and he didn't drag the old woman down, so why didn't he drag it?

Sheng Li opened the old woman's skirt and motioned Xia Tian to look at the jasper necklace around her neck.

"What a beautiful emerald!" Xia Tian's eyes lit up, and then he murmured strangely: "But this person doesn't look like a rich man, and there are patches on the corners of his clothes, why don't he sell the emeralds to change his clothes? Are you still doing such hard work?"

This old woman has rough hands and a rough face. When she bumped into them, she was holding a basket of starched clothes. At first glance, she was not a pampered old lady from a wealthy family. Naturally, it was impossible to get such a bunch of Emerald necklace.

In the little fox's heart, food, clothing, housing and transportation are four very important things—of course, the owner is the most important one—to fill his stomach, of course he must wear warm clothes, no matter how beautiful the emerald is, it is nothing but a dead thing , there is no need to guard.

"Could it be a gift from someone very important?"

Seeing that Sheng Li didn't speak, the little fox guessed again, like a strand of hair given to him by the owner, which he hid in a beautiful little kit and kept next to him, it was his most important treasure, if he was about to When someone told him that this strand of hair could be exchanged for food and clothes when he died of freezing and starving, he would definitely refuse without hesitation.

Sheng Li turned the string of emerald beads carefully, and said: "This is exactly the same as the prime minister's wife's. It is said that it is only owned by the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family." He vaguely remembered that the prime minister's wife loved that emerald necklace very much. Will dress it up and love showing off the engraving on that bead.

"Then why didn't I?" Xia Tian muttered in a low voice.

Sheng Li was amused by the little fox's words, and his expression relaxed a bit. The next moment, he raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "I found it."

He took the jadeite necklace off the old woman's neck, put it in Xia Tian's hand, and motioned him to look at one of the beads.

On the green emerald bead, the word "Sheng" was inlaid with gold thread.

Xia Tian was stunned, the surname Sheng was common, and jade necklaces were common, but the word "Sheng" inlaid with gold thread on jade necklaces was not so common.

Reminiscent of the old woman's strange behavior after seeing them just now, a faint thought arose in Sheng Li's mind, perhaps this person could help him solve the mystery of the prime minister's mansion's harsh treatment of him.

With the emerald necklace, the old woman obviously couldn't just leave it behind, but although the dowry can hold things, it can only hold some small things, and it can't put the old woman in it, so it's inconvenient to take it away.

Sheng Li frowned and looked at the old woman for a moment, then raised his hand to pinch the other person, Xia Tian went to the forest to find some irritating leaves of grass, put them on the tip of the other's nose and twirled them around, and the woman slowly wake up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Sheng Li's face, and she was so startled that she wanted to scream again. Sheng Li grabbed a piece of clothing in the basket and stuffed her mouth, and said coldly: "Shut up, follow us, don't dare If you yell out, it will kill you immediately."

Seeing her necklace being held by Xia Tian, ​​the old woman trembled even more for some reason, how could she dare not to follow, she still thought that she had encountered a ghost that wanted her life, she didn't even dare to struggle, her legs were weak I couldn't stand up at all, got up several times and fell down again.

Not long after, a family of three appeared in the Dingyun Temple. The old woman who was covered with light gauze because of the cold was tightly supported by her "son" and "daughter-in-law" and left the temple from the side door, along the mountain path. Go down the mountain and get into the carriage at the foot of the mountain.

When being stuffed into the carriage, the old woman finally realized that the two young men might not be ghosts, but if they weren't ghosts, how could the man look so similar to the master, and how could this young woman be a ghost? Dressed like that... She curled up in a corner of the carriage, closed her mouth and looked at Xia Tian who was resting in the carriage, and from time to time cast her eyes on Sheng Li who was driving the carriage, but compared to Xia Tian, ​​she was obviously more afraid of Sheng Li , just touching the back of her eyes can make her tremble with fright, but it makes Xia Tian more and more sure that the old woman has a ghost in her heart.

After the two of them stuffed her into the carriage, they didn't talk to her again, and the old woman didn't have the courage to jump out of the carriage, so the three of them went back to the other courtyard all the way, still avoiding people from entering the courtyard through the side door. Aunt Lin" was also brought in.

Only the two of them live in this small courtyard, and they do everything by themselves, without outsiders, so it is convenient for them to take Aunt Lin back at this moment. The light squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them carefully. His eyes lingered on Sheng Li's face for a long time, and suddenly he thought of something, and asked tremblingly, "Young Master... Are you Young Master Sheng Li?"

Sheng Li's heart moved, and he said lightly: "You still recognize me?"

Xia Tian didn't seem to hear the woman's words at all, and played with the emerald necklace by himself, reaching out to caress the inscription on the bead from time to time.

Aunt Lin seemed to have found some magic weapon to save her life, she immediately knelt down again, and said, "Young master! You can't kill me. I was forced to do nothing back then. The second master said, if I dare to reveal anything, I will kill you." I don't want my life either..."

Sheng Li held Xia Tian's hand in his palm and played with it. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xia Tian indiscriminately. He sneered, and looked down at the woman kneeling on the ground. ?”

Aunt Lin had a ghost in her heart, and she had been terrified for many years. She preconceived that Sheng Li would find him today because he found out what happened back then. Hearing that she was tricked by him, she hurriedly argued: "Young master, you were young back then. I don't know the inside story, Aunt Lin, I'm just a watchman, the glass of poisoned wine that the old man and the others drank was poisoned by the second lady, I can't stop it even if I'm a servant!"

Sheng Li already had a faint guess in his heart, and Xia Tian was also frightened by the possible truth——

Prime Minister Sheng was not the only son, his father had a concubine son, but many years ago when the family was traveling, he was murdered by bandits for money and died in a foreign land. Prime Minister Sheng escaped from birth because he was the eldest son , so a concubine who was not valued would die as soon as he died, and it never caused any disturbance.

But what if it wasn't the concubine who died back then, but the eldest son?

Sheng Li wanted to ask why the second master had already killed his brother and sister-in-law, why he let him go alone; and his appearance, I have never heard that the two brothers of the Sheng family look the same, let alone his wife——Sheng Li The wife of the eldest son of the family is naturally a carefully selected lady of the big family. I heard that they have not walked with her natal family these years, but their daughter has changed. Could it be that they can't tell?

But these are obviously not things that Aunt Lin's servants can know. Sheng Li and Xia Tian can only piece together part of the truth from her insane words of begging for forgiveness.

Back then when the Sheng family traveled with their family, when they came to a mountain near Xilin County, the two brothers had an argument for some reason. Madam threatened and lured her, while threatening her that if she dared to speak out, she and her only son would be silenced together, while promising gold, silver, jewels and wealth, when the second master came in with a hatchet, she was outside the door Lookout, in this way, she herself was also a participant in the murder, so naturally she dared not tell others about it.

When the second master and the second wife were about to leave, Aunt Lin knew that the two might not intend to stay alive at all, so she hid her young son in the mountains and deliberately pretended that she had fallen off the cliff. , thought she had died in the mountains and did not chase her anymore.

Later, news came from the capital that Sheng Qingyun had been promoted all the way to be the prime minister, and Aunt Lin's heart almost jumped out. So where is Sheng Qingyun?It was clearly Sheng Qingyun's younger brother Sheng Qingsong!

She had hidden such a big secret in her heart, and she was worried and afraid all day long, but now that she finally told others, she was actually relieved.
