【Chapter 19】A shocker quietly emerges

She stood behind the corner of the wall, looked at Dou Yueshan awkwardly, and laughed dryly as if nothing had happened, saying, "Zi said...I...I'm here just now, I'm just here. Haha, just go for a walk."

Dou Yueshan stared at her and said in confusion: "Sister-in-law... Didn't she take a walk in the red maple forest just now? I saw Miss Qianshan and Xiao Cui accompanying her? Why are they gone now?"

Jiang Chengjia covered her randomly and said, "I...I ordered them to prepare a midnight snack... I haven't eaten yet, so I'm a little hungry."

Dou Yueshan looked at her with her eyes heavy, as if she didn't believe it.

When Dou Taijun heard Jiang Chengjia's voice, his eyelids suddenly jumped. Listening to Dou Yueshan's conversation with her, he coughed gently and said to the little lady who was hiding behind the corner of the wall, who refused to show up: "A Luo...Don't hide, come out..."

Jiang Chengjia was stunned, standing in the corner of the wall, he refused to move, and hesitated.

Dou Yueshan was silent for a moment and asked, "Sister-in-law... have you heard the conversation between me and my grandmother just now?"

The woman in front of her was a little cramped. Her face was covered with a layer of smile, trying to cover her current panic in this way. She did not answer him, but walked out of the corner of the wall gently and bowed to Dou Taijun, who was sitting not far away in the center of the mat of the courtyard, and said, "Grandmother Ci'an..."

Dou Taijun nodded slightly at her and said, "Come here."

Her tone was gentle. The courtyard was dark. She couldn't see what Dou Taijun looked like. She could only judge how she was feeling at this moment by her voice.

Dou Yueshan looked at her quietly.

Jiang Chengjia couldn't help but say, "Grandma is calling me! My son said, I'll go there first!"

She thought that if one person can escape now, it would not be possible for Dou Yueshan and Dou Taijun to stare at her.

Since Dou Taijun asked her to go there, she must have wanted to tell her something, so Dou Yueshan couldn't continue to stay here.

Sure enough, when she slowly moved her footsteps towards Dou Taijun sitting in the yard, Dou Yueshan, who was staying at the moon gate, only stood for a while. Before she could reach the stone bench in the yard, he turned around and left Fengxiju.

She came to Dou Taijun nervously, and with the dim glow, she saw Dou Taijun's appearance clearly, and naturally saw the frost on her face at this moment.

This kind old lady has been in Hongfeng Village since she entered Hongfeng Village and has almost never lost her temper. She is extremely gentle and friendly to others. She rarely shows such a cold and solemn expression.

Jiang Chengjia immediately started to stir up a sensation in his heart.

I saw Dou Taijun resting with his eyes closed, his serious expression never relaxed. After I noticed the anxious mood of the little lady in front of me, I opened my eyes and looked at her.

"I hope... you hide all the words you eavesdropped behind the Moon Gate in your heart and rot in your stomach... Don't talk about this with Zhaoyuan." Dou Taijun was straight to the point and said it very clearly.

Jiang Chengjia was stunned at first, then nodded and agreed: "The granddaughter-in-law remembers the teachings of the great grandmother... she will never reveal a word to her husband."

Dou Taijun looked at her a few times, then closed her eyes calmly, and said coldly: "A Luo, I know those bastards that Zhaoyuan has done. I know that you did not voluntarily, but were forced to this point by that stinky brat... But today I want to tell you that since you have entered the Marquis' Mansion, you can live a good life. Don't think about it."

Jiang Chengjia felt panicked, and his dark eyes turned slightly, then he let go of his uneasiness and said firmly to Dou Taijun: "Grandma... Please rest assured, since his granddaughter-in-law married into the Marquis' Mansion, he felt his husband's gentleness and consideration. He is a good person, not as evil as the outside world says. At present, the granddaughter-in-law is thinking about how to serve his husband and how to live a good life... There is no other idea. Just now, the granddaughter-in-law rushed towards the village from the red maple forest, and thought something had happened, so he followed him secretly. He really accidentally heard those words just now... He bumped into Grandma today... It was the granddaughter-in-law's fault... The granddaughter-in-law promised that today's affairs would never be done again in the future."

Her remarks were, one to express her position, and the other to explain the reason why she had just followed Dou Yueshan to Fengxi to get in the middle of the center, so that Dou Taijun could let go of her guard.

Dou Taijun closed her eyes and listened to the girl's slow and calm explanation. When she heard her loud voice and nodded with satisfaction without any guilt.

She opened her eyes again, gently grabbed Jiang Chengjia's hands and signaled her to sit down.

Jiang Chengjia remained silent and slowly sat next to Dou Taijun, preparing to listen to the training.

Unexpectedly, she heard Dou Taijun sigh and said, "Zhaoyuan, a child... has lived a hard life since childhood. His father and mother were young... they were not a couple that you and I would like to be together. Therefore, they didn't like Zhaoyuan. He was sensible since childhood. Most of the rumors from the outside world were lies... In fact, Zhaoyuan is kind-hearted and cold-hearted, but if he gets used to getting along with him... they are also a good match. I can see that Zhaoyuan... likes you very much. He never treats a woman like this, so gentle and careful. Even the old woman, who is a lot of age, is a little envious. I like him the most and I feel the most..."

The old mother suddenly paused when she said this.

Jiang Chengjia listened carefully.

Dou Taijun slowed down and continued, "A Luo, good boy. You are also a smart and gentle boy. I can see that you are good at Zhaoyuan. It is said that people's hearts will be seen over time. I have seen people's hearts over the years. I have been watching you and thinking about Zhaoyuan wholeheartedly, and you will know that you are calm and live a good life with him."

The old and wrinkled and rough hands tightly held the slender hands of the woman beside her and said tremblingly: "Promise my grandmother, no matter what you and your wife meet in the future, they will walk hand in hand."

Jiang Chengjia was very moved when she listened to her words.

She nodded vigorously and promised to Dou Taijun: "Don't worry, Grandma Tai, in this life... I love my husband alone, and I will definitely work with him to spend the storm with him in the future and grow old with her."

As Dou Taijun listened, a condensed face slowed down and gradually smiled. He patted her back of her hand and said, "It's getting late... If you don't go back, the child Zhaoyuan will be worried again."

Jiang Chengjia's eyes stopped. Seeing that Dou Taijun had returned to her usual attitude, she felt much more at ease, so she responded, "Hey... the grandson-in-law is leaving now."

Dou Taijun nodded slightly at her and watched her leave Fengxiju. Seeing her petite figure gradually disappearing in the twilight, she sighed again, calmed down, and called out to the moon gate leading to the right garden of Fengxiju: "Come out... I won't feel tired after hiding for so long?"

A figure popped up under the arched moon gate.

It turned out that Mrs. Cao and Biyun did not leave Fengxiju, but hid in the corner behind the moon gate on the right side of the courtyard.

Dou Taijun shook his head, as if helpless, and his vicissitudes of life-changing voice showed a little melancholy: "I don't know why... I looked at A Luo very much like you when you were young. She is a girl who likes to ask questions."

Cao's face was a little pale, and he slowly walked to Dou Taijun, bowed to her, and replied, "A Luo... It's true that he looks very similar to his younger generation when he was young..."

Dou Taijun said silently.

"Dou Taijun...Zi said, "You are so persistent, will you continue to investigate this clue?" Cao's expression was nervous, as if he was very uneasy.

But Dou Taijun didn't say a word and silently stared at the carvings on the arched moon gate opposite Fengxiju.

Mrs. Cao lowered her eyes and said with a little disappointed feeling: "For the years... I hope that Ziyue's child... can come to see me a few times, really miss it. I also thought that if one day I could tell him the truth, it might not be as bad as expected. But... I saw Ziyue's angry look just now, and I was extremely scared... I was afraid that he would hate me after he knew the truth."

Dou Taijun was worried and still said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mrs. Cao shut up herself.

After a while, the old woman beside her was sighing: "Now... we are afraid we can't stop Ziyue from following this matter. Sooner or later, this child will understand everything."

Mrs. Cao clenched her palms and her face turned paler. She gritted her teeth tightly and said anxiously: "What are the ways to do Taijun... stop Zi, "Stop this child from continuing to investigate?"

Dou Taijun calmed down his voice and said lightly: "Don't think of a way to hide it from him. Ziyue will not blame you even if he knows the truth..."

Mrs. Cao lowered her head, panickedly circling the silk in her hand, thinking about the past one after another. A huge panic wrapped her whole heart.

The truth of the past seemed to be gradually unveiling a corner of the veil covered on the surface under the driving force of time.

Fengxi is in the middle, full of a faint sense of depression.

As the last ray of light slowly dissipated from the horizon, the heaven and earth completely fell into a new round of darkness. The moon hanging high was cold, smooth, and even a little dazzling.

On the 27th day of the 12th lunar month, another snowy capital city was so cold.

Deng Yuan’s case has been delayed again and again, and today has come to this day.

Emperor Wei has frequently mentioned this in the court. Jiang Chengyi knew who was behind the scenes, but he could not present the case to Emperor Wei as it was. He could only make excuses and look for unusual clues. Finally, with his unremitting efforts, he found a strange point in various case files and testimony. After a guard of Deng's mansion who was lucky enough to stock up from this shocking explosion entered the Dongfu Division, he and Jing Ting interrogated overnight and accidentally learned from this person that when heavy snow fell in the city, the guards of the dungeon had specially cleared the snow on the oblique window. Therefore, although it was snowing heavily outside, the guards could turn to clean up the snow on the oblique window, so no open flames were lit in the dungeon at that time.
