Chapter 97
Only now did everyone understand why the coachman named Guizhu betrayed Wei.

Wine, sex and money are the most touching, especially since he is addicted, maybe what those people gave him in the end was not just the drugged wine, but direct drugs to control people.

For this irresistible drug, all loyalty and promises are false.

Cui Ji sighed: "Why didn't you say it then?"

Sun Laosan was silent, and she didn't answer, but Cui Ji and Xie Zhiyun didn't ask any more questions.

What else could it be?Because Sun Laosan was scared, he didn't want to be the coward who betrayed Su Guogong's mansion, he didn't want to be the culprit, so he just lived in fear and anxiety all day long, living in guilt and fear all day long.

Xie Zhijun recalled that dream, so at the end of the dream, he would be so crazy.

It won't be long before he's driving himself crazy.

Fortunately, fortunately, that dream foreshadowed this tragedy in advance, fortunately, they could still talk to Sun Laosan who was sober, and dig out all the truth.

"What's the name of that liquor store and where is it? Have you ever been there again?"

Sun Laosan lowered his head, and he said hoarsely: "The wine shop is called Quhefang. After Guizhu's accident, I didn't go there again, and I have been relying on other spirits to suppress my medicine."

The pain of stopping the medicine overwhelmed the last straw.

Cui Ji waved to Feng Fang, and then looked at Sun Laosan: "Lao San, we have known each other for many years. At that time, the Duke of the Kingdom had just become a lieutenant general, and our family had to follow him to fight everywhere. Relying on your carriage, I escaped one danger after another."

"Recalling now, the days at that time were really bitter and far away."

"It's so far away that I can't remember those details."

Sun Laosan sobbed and said with a choked voice: "Madam, don't talk about it, it's Lao San's fault, it's Lao San's useless."

Cui Ji sighed.

"It's not your fault, it's all those people's fault. They did everything they could to make Yezhou fall apart," Cui Ji helped Xie Zhiyun's hand to stand up, her figure was thin and thin, but her back was also from Not to be bent, "we just can't do what they want."

Amid Sun Laosan's crying, Cui Ji patted Xie Zhiyun's hand, and the two came out of the dungeon together.

Suddenly seeing the light again from the darkness, Xie Zhijun's eyes were a little sore, she blinked hard to get used to the orange-red glow in front of her eyes.

"It's almost evening." Xie Zhiyun said looking at the sky.

Cui Ji said: "Let's have dinner at Rongjing Hall tonight, your father will come back early today, and the family will talk for a while."

Xie Zhiyun said, "Okay."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to Rongjing Hall quietly. Xie Zhiyun saw that Cui Ji's complexion was not good, and his mood was a little bit dripping, so he asked a servant to bring a bowl of ginseng tea, and gave it to Cui Ji.

"Mom has worked hard today, eat some ginseng tea to nourish your energy."

Cui Ji sighed: "How did you find out the difference?"

Xie Zhiyun had already thought about his speech: "When the accident happened before, the young man checked the house, but at that time he couldn't blatantly check for traitors, so he only checked a few coachmen close to Guizhu, and the rest, such as Sun Laosan Just let the stewards simply ask."

"But those young coachmen didn't know who Gui Zhu was with on weekdays, or even what he did during his weekends. He was too silent, leaving no clues."

"I thought at the time that it is impossible for a person to live in the mansion without any traces. But when the incident happened just now, even if someone had ghosts in their hearts, they were not on the verge of collapse and could withstand repeated inquiries."

"After that day, when he is restless and panicked all night, he can expose himself through a little thing."

When Xie Zhiyun said to check the accounts before, Cui Ji probably understood what she was going to do, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good, and he directly blasted Sun Laosan out.

Cui Ji had a headache, she pinched her forehead and said, "I just didn't expect that this person would be Sun Laosan."

Xie Zhiyun is a bit more cold-hearted than Cui Ji, and she and Sun Laosan have no old friendship to escape together, she said: "Mother, this person may be anyone, there is no Sun Laosan, and Li Laosan Three, Chen Laosan."

"Su Guogong's mansion is different from the past after all. There are so many people staring at us, looking at the fertile soil in the eight states, and seeing so many elite soldiers and good generals in the camp in the western suburbs. Who wouldn't be greedy?"

Xie Zhiyun is very young, she has not even experienced war, but she is calmer than Cui Ji who has been wandering all the time.

"Mom, we're getting ready."

Cui Ji sighed: "You are right."

The two talked for a while, and Ji Xiuxiu led Wei Ningshu to Rongjing Hall. She talked about the kitchen problem, and Xie Zhiyun said: "Okay, you have worked hard, and we will discuss how to solve this problem tomorrow."

Ji Xiuxiu looked at her, then at Cui Ji, who was smiling with downcast eyes, and immediately took Wei Ningshu's hand: "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm tired today, sister, let's go back to rest first." Bar."

As she spoke, she dragged away Wei Ningshu who was full of bewilderment.

After the two of them left, Xie Zhiyun laughed: "Mother, I think the third sister-in-law is really smart. You can imagine how powerful the patriarch of the Ji family is."

Cui Ji's expression relaxed, and he also recovered.

"Yeah, she is just right with the third child," Cui Ji said with a smile, "I also get along well with the third child, but she is too competitive and always wants to be better than others."

Xie Zhiyun said: "The third sister-in-law is capable, capable, and competitive. It is a good thing. From now on, I can let her handle the family affairs with me, and my mother and I can relax."

Cui Ji saw that her eyes were bright and calm, and she couldn't help but said: "You can get along with her, others say they can't stand her."

"The third sister-in-law has a bit of a mouth, but she is not a bad person," Xie Zhiyun said, "She has a good heart."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and Wei Cang came back.

As soon as he came back, he laughed and said: "It seems that the madam and the eldest daughter-in-law have made meritorious service today. I know the good news from the state pastor's mansion."

Xie Zhijun got up to greet him, Wei Cang waved his hand: "Sit down and talk."

Then she watched the Duke take off his armor and cloak by himself, took the handkerchief and washed his face, Cui Ji just followed him, occasionally handing him a handkerchief, and never reaching out to help.

Xie Zhiyun suddenly thought that the same is true for Wei Ji.

The men in their Wei family take care of themselves, they don't need help from others, and they act more neatly than the other.

It turned out that they all learned from Wei Cang.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhiyun's heart suddenly moved.

She lowered her eyebrows and looked at her hands folded on her knees.

I don't know where Wei Ji is at this moment, whether he has set up camp and settled down.

Thinking of him, Xie Zhiyun's hands were clenched together unconsciously.

For the first time, I know what it means to miss.
