If you want to investigate the events of the year, you have to start from the old people.
Pei Xiang and Bai Jin were in Jinling City at this time, so there was no need to look far away, there was a person right in front of them that they could ask and investigate.
"Back then, the person who escorted the half of the demon pill to the imperial capital overnight was Jia Zheng's confidant and long-term follower. This person was surnamed Li. He didn't have any special talents, and he was not good at currying favors. But he was able to stay in peace and stability. The most important reason why Jia Zheng's side will not be run away by other servants of the Jia family is that he has a good wife."
When Bai Jin investigated the little red fox's past, he always focused on the culprit who lured the little red fox away from the clan, and then found out the existence of Jing Huan from various clues.
At the beginning, he didn't pay too much attention to the subtle entanglements between humans, but after confirming the identity of the young master, he left it alone.Bai Jin is going to wait for the little red fox to recover her memory, and let her resolve the past grievances by herself.
Now, to him, the little red fox is no longer an ordinary junior in the clan, but a beloved one.Therefore, he naturally cared about all the details of the year, cared about the whole story of her being wronged by humans, and wanted to figure out the role and position of certain humans in the whole thing.
"Who is this man's godmother?"
"It's the confidant mother of the old lady of Jia's family, surnamed Lai."
"Old Mrs. Shi? Jia Zheng's mother..."
Bai Jin Linghui, naturally understood at a glance, he immediately grasped Pei Xiang's train of thought:
"Do you guess that the person who tampered with the demon pill was Jia Zheng's mother?"
"She has this ability," Pei Xiang's tone was light, but his eyes became darker. "I don't know how the relationship between her and Jia Zheng's father is, so I can only infer a little at this moment. Investigate carefully."
As they spoke, the two appeared together in front of the person from back then.
"Who are you?" Li Xiaoshan, who was about to go to bed, shouted in shock when he saw two people suddenly appearing in the room.
Pei Xiang raised his hand, a stream of light flashed by, and Li Xiaoshan, who was still terrified just now, instantly became quiet.He slowly closed his eyes, stood there staring blankly for a while, then turned around and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Li Xiaoshan, do you still remember the matter of escorting the elixir back then?"
"Delivering medicine?"
"The Duke is seriously ill. The second master was studying in his hometown in Jinling at that time. He asked you to send a panacea to the capital. Do you remember?"
After Pei Xiang's reminder, the memory in Li Xiaoshan's mind suddenly became clear.He nodded slowly, and began to describe the details of the medicine delivery that year without Pei Xiang asking more.
He talked about his hardships of traveling day and night, his fear of losing the elixir and being punished, and his relaxation after finally arriving safely at Zhongjia's mansion in the capital.
"Did you send the panacea to the Duke's hospital bed? Watched the Duke take it with your own eyes?"
"No, no." Li Xiaoshan's mood dropped suddenly.
"I entered the mansion through the corner gate, and I happened to meet my godmother. My godmother asked me, what did I do when I came back from Jinling's hometown to serve the second young master to study? I whispered to my godmother about the panacea. My godmother Immediately said that the matter of the elixir should not be known by others, and it is of great importance, let me report to the wife first. I followed my godmother to see the wife, and then handed the elixir to the wife in person. "
Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows: "So, you didn't see the Duke taking the elixir, did you?"
"Yes, but after the wife took the elixir, she went to visit the Duke immediately. The godmother also said that I have made great contributions, and she will reward me in the future when the Duke recovers from illness. Unfortunately, the Duke did not stand up. come over……"
At this point in the inquiry, Pei Xiang's guess became more certain, and he asked another question:
"Li Xiaoshan, after the death of the Duke, the second young master kept his filial piety in the mansion. You were sent to Jinling to guard the Jia family's ancestral property, and even became a steward. But after a few days of your good life, why did you become a drowned ghost?"
After being exposed to the fact that he was dead, Li Xiaoshan, who had been answering questions just now, suddenly became restless and agitated.
Two tears of blood slowly flowed from his tightly closed eyes, and the bedding and other furnishings in the room that had been conjured up with ghost energy slowly disappeared, and water plants and black lake water began to gush out around him.
"That's right, that's right, I just became a steward, and my youngest son just turned one month old, why did I die... Yes, yes, someone pushed me, they said congratulations on becoming a steward, and they want... Buy me a drink, and then? Then? Yeah, I, I drank too much, but I want to go home to see my son... I'll go and go..."
While Li Xiaoshan was talking, Yin Qi surged all over his body, his voice became hoarse and shrill:
"Someone pushes me! Someone push me! Who is it? Who pushed me ... ah ah ah ah ... why do you hurt me? Aren't you here to drink Xiaobao's full moon wine? Why do you want me to harm me ?”
Seeing that Li Xiaoshan's soul began to become unstable, Pei Xiang quickly threw out the talisman to calm down the drowned ghost who had been wandering by the lake for many years.
"Bai Jin, wait for me a moment, I will subdue Li Xiaoshan's soul first, and prevent him from luring innocent passers-by by this lake as a scapegoat."
"You want to take him to the imperial capital?"
"Yes, if Li Xiaoshan and Nanny Lai confront each other, we may hear a lot of the truth."
According to the magic spell taught to her by Taoist Wei Zhu, Pei Xiang took the ghost Li Xiaoshan into a jade bottle engraved with mantras.Then, she and Bai Jin left the cold lakeside.
"The demon pill was handed over to Shi Taijun, but it was not sent directly to the patient's bed."
"Li Xiaoshan said that he was killed by Nanny Lai, it can be seen that someone has a guilty conscience."
Five days later, Pei Xiang and Bai Jin arrived at the outskirts of the capital.The two got off the paper crane's back, and after blurring their appearance a little, they walked into the majestic city gate with the flow of people entering the city.
In the evening, Nanny Lai came back from Jia's mansion. She was very old and had served the old lady for half a day. At this time, she felt very tired and didn't have much appetite for dinner.She sent out the maid who was serving in the house, and leaned on the soft bed with her eyes closed to rest alone.
The warm fragrance was wafting, the bedding was soft, and Nanny Lai soon fell asleep.
Just when she was losing consciousness, she suddenly heard someone calling her one after another.
The voice was far and near, as if whispering in her ear, but also as if it was far away in the sky.Nanny Lai, who was drowsy, felt a little irritable, and a burst of anger suddenly appeared in her chest.How many years have passed, and no one has dared to disturb her to rest. Which kid is this without winks, making such noise?
Nanny Lai was restless when she saw her godson Li Xiaoshan walking in with a smile.
"Godmother, my son greets you! I haven't seen you for a long time. Your spirit is still good, and your body is still strong? How are my brother and my sister-in-law doing? Is Shang Rong's nephew getting more and more prosperous now? To you Have you earned an imperial order?"
Seeing that the person who came was his godson Li Xiaoshan whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Mammy Lai felt a bit confused.Then, temporarily suppressing the irritability and anger in her heart, she asked in great surprise:
"Xiaoshan, my son, aren't you in Jinling? Why did you suddenly come to the capital to visit your godmother?"
"It was the old matriarch who sent someone to call my son back, godmother, as soon as my son comes back, I will come to see you as an old man, and I haven't had time to enter the mansion to kowtow."
Hearing that Li Xiaoshan came to visit her first, Nanny Lai was satisfied, but she still pretended to reprimand him:
"Nonsense, the master summoned you, you dare to waste time, why don't you go to the mansion quickly, and see what this old woman is doing?"
Li Xiaoshan immediately showed a worried expression, just like the honest and timid one many years ago:
"Godmother, I'm afraid of meeting the second master. If the second master asks, did I watch the Duke take the elixir with my own eyes, what should I say? Didn't you say back then, tell me not to talk too much? "
Hearing Li Xiaoshan mentioned the word "Lingdan", Nanny Lai was puzzled at first, but suddenly, the past was vivid in her memory, she looked at Li Xiaoshan with more pity:
"My son, if the second master asks, you can say that the old matriarch has already given medicine to the Duke, so why hesitate? Didn't you watch the old matriarch take the medicine to visit the Duke?"
"But, but, I didn't see the Duke eating it himself?"
"It's really a child's talk. The elixir has been sent in, so why don't you give it to the Duke? You have been dumbfounded all day, what are you thinking?"
Lai Momo smiled perfunctorily, but Li Xiaoshan, who was kneeling at her feet, suddenly stood up, staring at Lai Momo with a pair of eyes:
"Godmother, I think every day, why do you push me into the lake? The lake is so cold, and the water plants are so entangled that my son can't breathe. Godmother, my son's little treasure has just been full moon, but my son I can't go home anymore, so I can only wander in the lake every day. Godmother, since you love your son so much, why don't you come and accompany him..."
Li Xiaoshan's words seemed to have suddenly awakened Nanny Lai's sanity, and she regained consciousness all of a sudden.She remembered!This godson Li Xiaoshan died a long time ago, he was pushed into the lake by her and drowned, how can he come to visit her in the mansion?
As Nanny Lai woke up, the appearance of Li Xiaoshan in front of him gradually changed, his whole body was wet, his face was pale and swollen, and there were strips of fishy brown waterweed wrapped around his neck.
This is clearly the ghost who came to claim his life!
Nanny Lai suddenly trembled with fright...
After several threats and the water ghost threatening the lives of Lai's family members, Nanny Lai quickly confessed everything she knew.
According to Madam Nalai, when Jia Zheng's father, Duke Rong Jia Daishan was sick in bed, he found out some things his wife Shi Shi had done, which made him feel extremely disappointed and hated.
Thinking that his two sons and his beloved daughter were born of Shi Shi, he had to pinch his nose to cover up Shi Shi's wrongdoing.However, he is not going to let his wife continue to enjoy the wealth and honor, and become an uncompromising old lady after his death. He intends to let Shi Shi return to his hometown in Jinling, eat fast, chant Buddha and repent for the rest of his life.
However, his plan was noticed by Shi Shi in advance.
Shi quickly discussed with his confidant, Nanny Lai, how they should save themselves.When he was at a loss, his second son, who was studying in Jinling, sent someone to deliver a life-saving panacea, saying that as long as he took this pill, Jia Daishan would turn the crisis into safety and recover gradually.
This simply made Shi's precarious situation worse, so when she heard the secret report from Madam Lai, she hurriedly stepped forward and intercepted half of the little red fox's elixir with a smile.
She didn't want to use the panacea to do bad things and blame others.
Because in Shi's view, the elixir is the filial piety of the second son, if something happens to Jia Daishan after taking the elixir, and there will be some rumors in the future, it will not be good for his son's reputation.
So, after she took the medicine into the house in front of Li Xiaoshan, she changed hands and hid the medicine without saying a word at all.
As for later, Jia Daishan's condition suddenly worsened, and even in the last few days, he could not even speak while lying on the bed. Lai Nanny didn't know if there was Shi's extra handwriting in it.
She just begged for mercy with Li Xiaoshan's ghost, saying that the person who wanted to kill him was Mrs. Shi, and she had nothing to do with Lai Momo.She was also forced to follow orders at the beginning, otherwise, as a person who also knew about the elixir, she would not be able to please her.
Nanny Lai burst into tears and told Li Xiaoshan how she took care of Li Xiaoshan's parents, wife and children all these years, she gave all the wealth and honor she could, and absolutely did not make his family suffer or suffer.
But Li Xiaoshan, the water ghost, would not forget his hatred just because of Nanny Lai's sophistry. He felt that Pei Xiang had no intention of stopping him, so he threw himself on Nanny Lai...
When Pei Xiang took the water ghost back into the jade bottle again, Nanny Lai was already pale and tired on the ground, if not for the slight ups and downs in her chest, she would be like a dead person.
However, even if she was not killed by the ghost, her body collapsed completely, and what awaited her was just a few days of life.
"The murderer who directly killed you has been punished, and there is another real murderer behind the scenes. Do you still want revenge?"
"Pray for the Lord's mercy and fulfillment."
"Nurse Lai is easy to deal with, but Mr. Shi is hard to get close to. Jia's mansion still hangs the plaque of the Duke's Mansion. It has the protection of ancestors and door gods. You, an ordinary water ghost, can't get close to it."
Li Xiaoshan has been a ghost for many years, so naturally he is no longer as dull and honest as he was when he was alive, otherwise he would not have had the vicious thought of looking for a substitute ghost.
Before Pei Xiang found him, he was already trying to lure innocent passers-by into drowning.
Therefore, after hearing Pei Xiang's words, he quickly made a gesture of prostration:
"I beg for mercy from the Taoist priest. As long as I can avenge my hatred, the small one can only be driven! Taoist priest, the young one is stupid, but he still has a bit of yin energy, and he has also realized some transformation techniques. If you have any inconvenience, just do it." Tell the little one, the little one must be so heartbroken that he will go through fire and water."
Pei Xiang shook his head: "I don't want to force you to do bad things, but I just want to tell you that if you insist on seeking revenge from the Shi family, I can send you to Jia's mansion. However, after entering, your soul will have to be weakened a bit, and Shi Shi still has an imperial order to reward her, if you want to hurt her, you will definitely lose your soul in the end."
This made the water ghost Li Xiaoshan hesitate for a moment, and he asked cautiously: "The soul is gone? Then, does that villain have no chance of reincarnation?"
Pei Xiang nodded.
The water ghost asked again: "Then how far can I hurt Shi Shi?"
Pei Xiang thought for a while: "A serious illness will reduce your lifespan by three years."
The water ghost gritted his teeth: "God is so unfair!"
Pei Xiang was silent for a while, but didn't answer.In fact, she also felt helpless in this godly and hierarchical world.
"Think about it first, and give me an answer at this time tomorrow. If you don't want to continue to take revenge, I will send you to reincarnation. When the time comes, you will be rewarded and punished for your merits and demerits. What will happen in this life and the next life will make sense."
After explaining, Pei Xiang ignored Li Xiaoshan, the water ghost, and turned to talk to Bai Jin beside him:
"Jia Zheng cherishes his reputation, and he doesn't want people around him to know that he is dating a beautiful woman whose identity is unknown. Among the many entourages and servants, only the honest and taciturn Li Xiaoshan knows something, so this gift of the elixir It fell on Li Xiaoshan, and the rest of the people didn't know about it. When Li Xiaoshan arrived at Jia's mansion, he was directly led by Nanny Lai to see Mrs. Shi. Therefore, the person who really knew about the elixir from the beginning to the end was this person. Just a few people."
Bai Jin took Pei Xiang's hand and walked side by side on the stone road at night.
"Now, we understand that Jia Zheng's father did not take the half of the demon pill, but was naturally or, um, suspected to be killed. Then, let's solve the next doubt, which is why Jia Zheng thought , it was the poisonous panacea that killed Jia Daishan."
"That's a question," Pei Xiang sighed slowly, "I guess we have to ask Shi and Jia Zheng himself."
The two of them were talking, and they walked towards the majestic Jia Mansion.
Outside the gate of Jia's mansion, the two were blocked by the door god, but when the door god Jiawei saw Bai Jin, they both became more polite.
Standing with his hands behind his back, Bai Jin briefly explained the grievances between the people in this family and their fox clan juniors.He said that this time he brought the victim here to investigate in person, and he will decide whether it is right or wrong at that time. If he insists on blocking it, don't blame him for being rude.
Pei Xiang followed Bai Jin, watching the door gods meekly get out of the way, and let her and Bai Jin in without further questioning, suddenly felt a wonderful feeling of pretentiousness.
Bai Jin seemed to see what she was thinking, and patted her on the head lightly.
Pei Xiang immediately offered words of praise: "Sure enough, the young master is still mighty. If I came alone, I might have to spend a little more time to sneak into this mansion. Now it saves a lot of energy and time. .”
"I don't want you to spend too much time on investigating past grievances. Let's settle the battle quickly, and then study how to solve the policeman. After that, I will take you home to get married. That is the most important thing thing."
Thinking of the little red fox's regret and nostalgia before performing the inheritance secret method, Pei Xiang hummed heavily, and tightened Bai Jin's hand:
"Let's return to the ethnic land as soon as possible. I miss the grassland and mountain spring there."
"Okay, there is a clear spring in front of my cave, the water quality is sweet. The spring water is surrounded by lush vegetation, quiet and quiet, it is definitely a good place to bask in the sun."
Pei Xiang looked yearning, and at the same time began to consider whether to bring some gifts to the former neighbors and companions who played with him.
Thinking of presents, Pei Xiang suddenly remembered his master who went out for a banquet...
"Bai Jin, have you told my master about my recovery of memory?"
"...Contact him as soon as you're done!"
"Okay," Pei Xiang blinked guiltyly: "I also need to contact Master, haha, when it comes to going home to bask in the sun, I almost forgot, I haven't left my teacher yet."
——Study, you still have to continue!
After chatting for a while, the two found Shi Taijun's location.
Pei Xiang didn't release the water ghost Li Xiaoshan this time, but directly set up formations around Shi Taijun's room.Then, she went into battle in person, transformed into Rong Guogong Jia Daishan, and confronted Shi Taijun.
In fact, she didn't know what Jia Daishan looked like, but the illusion array taught to her by Taoist Weizhu was very clever, and it was difficult to tell the truth from the truth.As long as she gives Shi Taijun some hints, the old lady will naturally feel that Pei Xiang looks like her deceased husband.
Because Nanny Lai was interrogated first, Pei Xiang was very clear about some of Shi Taijun's secret past.And she is well versed in conversational skills, but with a few pointed questions and accusations, Shi Taijun is convinced that the cold and solemn man beside the bed is the soul of her husband.
After many years of death, this person came to the world to question her by some chance.
The husband and wife have been together for many years, regardless of Jia Daishan, Shi Shi has a lot of complaints about this husband.Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly withheld the panacea sent by his son without hesitation back then, and watched the old man's condition worsen and finally died.
As the hostess of Zhongfu, Shi Taijun has experienced a lot of ups and downs. Compared with her confidant, Nanny Lai, she is more tenacious and calm.
Such a character is definitely not one or two fierce ghosts or a few shouts that can make her subdue. In addition, she has the imperial order, Pei Xiang's current methods can't confuse her mind at all, so this is a tough battle .
Of course, Pei Xiang didn't intend to make Jia's mother frightened into a fight like interrogating the water ghosts Li Xiaoshan and Lai Nanny, and then explain everything clearly.
She just wanted to know what happened to Jia Zheng when Jia Daishan was seriously ill and died.
Pei Xiang plays the role of Rong Guogong, complaining that Jia's mother has been partial to the second wife these years, causing Jia's family to be disorderly, and the status is unknown. This is simply the root of the family's decline.
She also showed a heartbroken look, saying that the second son, Jia Zheng, was pedantic and hypocritical, full of benevolence, morality, propriety, justice and shame, but stealing the main courtyard of Rongguo Mansion for many years, it was simply unfilial and disfraternal.
When Shi Taijun sees his dead ghost husband scolding his second son severely, and tries his best to defend the greedy and lustful boss, for some reason, he is aroused the dissatisfaction and grievances that have been suppressed in his heart for many years.In addition, she has been pampered and pampered for many years, and she is used to being the "grandfather" in this mansion, so she doesn't have the patience of the past, so she quarrels with Pei Xiang's version of Jia Daishan's ghost.
During the quarrel, she told about Jia Zheng's donation of medicine to her father.
She laughed at Jia Daishan for being confused, thinking that the second son was unfilial and hypocritical.
The truth is, after Jia Zheng obtained the panacea, he did not keep it for his own use. Instead, he immediately sent his servants to bring it back quickly.As for the eldest son he valued, he was secretly kissing the maid in the study at that time, Jia Daishan never could see clearly who was filial and who was not.
After the story of the panacea was revealed, Pei Xiang's version of Jia Daishan did not show any surprise.He is no longer an ordinary person at this time, so naturally he "should" know many things that he didn't know before he was alive.
"Oh, filial piety, why don't you ask the second brother how he got the panacea? I really dare not accept his filial piety! Thanks to you for keeping the panacea and allowing me to live a few more days. Otherwise, heh, the second child will be charged with poisoning his father."
Hearing the deceased husband directly mentioning the fact that he had hidden the elixir, Shi Taijun was startled at first, and then came to a sudden realization.
She thought to herself that it was so, after this person died, he could know many things that he didn't know before he was alive.With this understanding, Shi Taijun's aura was weakened by three points. After all, she was still afraid of ghosts and gods.
"Master, why do you really blame the second child?"
Once Shi Taijun felt jealous, his attitude softened a little:
"I don't know where Zheng'er got the baby, but that child has never been bad for you. I have also tested the panacea myself. Once the seal was opened, the room was full of fragrance. Halo. Just taking a sip of the medicinal fragrance, I feel that my body is three points healthy, if you really take it, you will definitely be cured."
Pei Xiang saw that he had reached a critical point, but he didn't dare to say more, for fear of revealing his flaws, he smiled coldly, with regret and remorse in his eyes, and made a full gesture.
Sure enough, she didn't speak at this time, but made Shi Taijun tell more truths:
"Did you think there was something wrong with the medicine because of Zhu'er's death, and that Zheng'er wanted to harm you?"
These words made Pei Xiang's eyebrows twitch.
"You, your Jia family pays attention to producing filial sons under the stick. You have always treated your son like an enemy. You were like that at the beginning, and now you have become a ghost, and you are still the same. Zheng'er has grown up, and his temper has turned sour. Follow you, beat or scold your son, never say a soft word, Zhu Er, Zhu Er was forced to death by him.
"That's my eldest grandson, how could I just watch him die, so I took out the panacea that I had treasured for many years. However, the panacea no longer had the fragrance and halo of the original, I guess it was time The medicine lost its effect after a long time, or maybe Zhuer was unlucky, and the gods wouldn't let me save Zhuer.
"But at that time, the imperial doctors were helpless, and they were all prepared for the funeral. What could I do? I could only bite the bullet and secretly administered the pill to Zhu'er. Unexpectedly, after the pill lost its effect, On the contrary, it became poisonous, and it killed Pearl's life immediately."
When Shi Taijun said this, he thought that when Jia Daishan's ghost first appeared, he kept saying that she caused the family to decline and left the family with no successors, so he couldn't help thinking a little more, thinking that the other party was mourning Jia Zhu's early death.
"Master, did you blame Zheng'er and me because of Zhu'er's death? But we really didn't have bad intentions. When Zheng'er brought the medicine, it was good. When it was given to Zhu'er, Zhu'er didn't have much time left. Master, Zhu'er is my own grandson, Zheng'er's eldest son, who would want to harm him?"
When Shi Taijun talked about Jia Zhu's early death, he felt sorry for him, so he couldn't help talking about the past.
She said that Jia Zhu was smart and eager to learn since she was a child.However, who would have thought that his fortune was so poor that he would let a white-haired man give a black-haired one.
She also talked about how Jia Zhu's body gradually weakened, and how she sought medical advice everywhere, until that day, she gave her eldest grandson the panacea her son asked for, but unexpectedly, it became a life-threatening talisman ...
When Pei Xiang heard this, he suddenly realized that the day when Jia Zhu died after taking the medicine was exactly the time when the little dancer died silently.
She suddenly had a clear understanding in her heart, knowing that she had found the direct cause of the original body's death.
The original body passed away quietly in sleep, did he feel that her half of the demon pill was finally used, and he was wronged from the beginning to the end?
Or, she sensed in the dark that the person who wronged her at the beginning finally reaped the consequences of his own death and gave his closest relatives the deteriorating demon pill;
Or, her grievances, resentment and incomprehension all dissipated with the disappearance of the half demon pill?
Pei Xiang couldn't understand the special connection between the half of the demon pill and the little red fox after casting the secret method of inheritance, but the day Jia Zhu died after taking the demon pill was indeed the night when she woke up and met the painted skin ghost.
Pei Xiang's thoughts were spinning, but she quickly suppressed many thoughts, and suddenly interrupted Shi Taijun's crying, and asked directly:
"Shi Shi, you said that you and the second child didn't know that the elixir was poisonous, so why... What does the second child look like in front of my mourning hall?"
Pei Xiang didn't elaborate on what Jia Zheng looked like, but Shi Taijun immediately felt that he understood what his late husband meant.Immediately, two expressions of guilt appeared on his face:
"When the second child came back, he asked me why you didn't recover after taking the medicine? I told him that the so-called panacea may not be real, or that the Taoist priests in the mountains deceived him when he was young and inexperienced, and deceived him with fake medicines. Where's the money?"
"that is it?"
"I was just perfunctory at first, but I don't know what slander Zheng'er heard outside, and I feel that the medicine is actually poisonous, and I feel that I have been deceived and indirectly harmed you, so I have been depressed.
"Later, I discovered that he started to get close to some Taoist priests, and I didn't know what he was busy with. After the filial piety period, he stopped looking for immortals and started to study economics again. I didn't ask more questions. I reckoned that during that time, he wanted to find a Taoist priest to verify whether the elixir he found for you was useful or not.
"Master, you blame me for being more and more partial to the second child these years. The reason for this is that I concealed the elixir. Because of this incident, I always feel guilty towards Zheng'er."
Hearing this, Pei Xiang felt that there was no need to ask any more questions.
Obviously, after Jia Zheng was perfunctory by his mother, doubts arose in his heart, and then, probably, the phantoms whispered in his ears, making him think that the little red fox's panacea was poisonous. tragedy.
Pei Xiang closed his eyes, feeling unworthy of the little red fox.
With a flick of her sleeves, Mother Jia passed out on the ground. Then, she withdrew the phantom array she had set up before, and pulled Bai Jin away from Rongguo Mansion without saying a word.
Bai Jin first followed behind Pei Xiang, watching her silently as she walked forward.After the two of them walked two streets, he picked up Pei Xiang and flew up with her.
"Zhaoxi, let me take you to see the stars and the sea of clouds."
"Okay, then can you become a big fox and let me hug you?"
"Okay, come on my back."
Pei Xiang and Bai Jin were in Jinling City at this time, so there was no need to look far away, there was a person right in front of them that they could ask and investigate.
"Back then, the person who escorted the half of the demon pill to the imperial capital overnight was Jia Zheng's confidant and long-term follower. This person was surnamed Li. He didn't have any special talents, and he was not good at currying favors. But he was able to stay in peace and stability. The most important reason why Jia Zheng's side will not be run away by other servants of the Jia family is that he has a good wife."
When Bai Jin investigated the little red fox's past, he always focused on the culprit who lured the little red fox away from the clan, and then found out the existence of Jing Huan from various clues.
At the beginning, he didn't pay too much attention to the subtle entanglements between humans, but after confirming the identity of the young master, he left it alone.Bai Jin is going to wait for the little red fox to recover her memory, and let her resolve the past grievances by herself.
Now, to him, the little red fox is no longer an ordinary junior in the clan, but a beloved one.Therefore, he naturally cared about all the details of the year, cared about the whole story of her being wronged by humans, and wanted to figure out the role and position of certain humans in the whole thing.
"Who is this man's godmother?"
"It's the confidant mother of the old lady of Jia's family, surnamed Lai."
"Old Mrs. Shi? Jia Zheng's mother..."
Bai Jin Linghui, naturally understood at a glance, he immediately grasped Pei Xiang's train of thought:
"Do you guess that the person who tampered with the demon pill was Jia Zheng's mother?"
"She has this ability," Pei Xiang's tone was light, but his eyes became darker. "I don't know how the relationship between her and Jia Zheng's father is, so I can only infer a little at this moment. Investigate carefully."
As they spoke, the two appeared together in front of the person from back then.
"Who are you?" Li Xiaoshan, who was about to go to bed, shouted in shock when he saw two people suddenly appearing in the room.
Pei Xiang raised his hand, a stream of light flashed by, and Li Xiaoshan, who was still terrified just now, instantly became quiet.He slowly closed his eyes, stood there staring blankly for a while, then turned around and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Li Xiaoshan, do you still remember the matter of escorting the elixir back then?"
"Delivering medicine?"
"The Duke is seriously ill. The second master was studying in his hometown in Jinling at that time. He asked you to send a panacea to the capital. Do you remember?"
After Pei Xiang's reminder, the memory in Li Xiaoshan's mind suddenly became clear.He nodded slowly, and began to describe the details of the medicine delivery that year without Pei Xiang asking more.
He talked about his hardships of traveling day and night, his fear of losing the elixir and being punished, and his relaxation after finally arriving safely at Zhongjia's mansion in the capital.
"Did you send the panacea to the Duke's hospital bed? Watched the Duke take it with your own eyes?"
"No, no." Li Xiaoshan's mood dropped suddenly.
"I entered the mansion through the corner gate, and I happened to meet my godmother. My godmother asked me, what did I do when I came back from Jinling's hometown to serve the second young master to study? I whispered to my godmother about the panacea. My godmother Immediately said that the matter of the elixir should not be known by others, and it is of great importance, let me report to the wife first. I followed my godmother to see the wife, and then handed the elixir to the wife in person. "
Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows: "So, you didn't see the Duke taking the elixir, did you?"
"Yes, but after the wife took the elixir, she went to visit the Duke immediately. The godmother also said that I have made great contributions, and she will reward me in the future when the Duke recovers from illness. Unfortunately, the Duke did not stand up. come over……"
At this point in the inquiry, Pei Xiang's guess became more certain, and he asked another question:
"Li Xiaoshan, after the death of the Duke, the second young master kept his filial piety in the mansion. You were sent to Jinling to guard the Jia family's ancestral property, and even became a steward. But after a few days of your good life, why did you become a drowned ghost?"
After being exposed to the fact that he was dead, Li Xiaoshan, who had been answering questions just now, suddenly became restless and agitated.
Two tears of blood slowly flowed from his tightly closed eyes, and the bedding and other furnishings in the room that had been conjured up with ghost energy slowly disappeared, and water plants and black lake water began to gush out around him.
"That's right, that's right, I just became a steward, and my youngest son just turned one month old, why did I die... Yes, yes, someone pushed me, they said congratulations on becoming a steward, and they want... Buy me a drink, and then? Then? Yeah, I, I drank too much, but I want to go home to see my son... I'll go and go..."
While Li Xiaoshan was talking, Yin Qi surged all over his body, his voice became hoarse and shrill:
"Someone pushes me! Someone push me! Who is it? Who pushed me ... ah ah ah ah ... why do you hurt me? Aren't you here to drink Xiaobao's full moon wine? Why do you want me to harm me ?”
Seeing that Li Xiaoshan's soul began to become unstable, Pei Xiang quickly threw out the talisman to calm down the drowned ghost who had been wandering by the lake for many years.
"Bai Jin, wait for me a moment, I will subdue Li Xiaoshan's soul first, and prevent him from luring innocent passers-by by this lake as a scapegoat."
"You want to take him to the imperial capital?"
"Yes, if Li Xiaoshan and Nanny Lai confront each other, we may hear a lot of the truth."
According to the magic spell taught to her by Taoist Wei Zhu, Pei Xiang took the ghost Li Xiaoshan into a jade bottle engraved with mantras.Then, she and Bai Jin left the cold lakeside.
"The demon pill was handed over to Shi Taijun, but it was not sent directly to the patient's bed."
"Li Xiaoshan said that he was killed by Nanny Lai, it can be seen that someone has a guilty conscience."
Five days later, Pei Xiang and Bai Jin arrived at the outskirts of the capital.The two got off the paper crane's back, and after blurring their appearance a little, they walked into the majestic city gate with the flow of people entering the city.
In the evening, Nanny Lai came back from Jia's mansion. She was very old and had served the old lady for half a day. At this time, she felt very tired and didn't have much appetite for dinner.She sent out the maid who was serving in the house, and leaned on the soft bed with her eyes closed to rest alone.
The warm fragrance was wafting, the bedding was soft, and Nanny Lai soon fell asleep.
Just when she was losing consciousness, she suddenly heard someone calling her one after another.
The voice was far and near, as if whispering in her ear, but also as if it was far away in the sky.Nanny Lai, who was drowsy, felt a little irritable, and a burst of anger suddenly appeared in her chest.How many years have passed, and no one has dared to disturb her to rest. Which kid is this without winks, making such noise?
Nanny Lai was restless when she saw her godson Li Xiaoshan walking in with a smile.
"Godmother, my son greets you! I haven't seen you for a long time. Your spirit is still good, and your body is still strong? How are my brother and my sister-in-law doing? Is Shang Rong's nephew getting more and more prosperous now? To you Have you earned an imperial order?"
Seeing that the person who came was his godson Li Xiaoshan whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Mammy Lai felt a bit confused.Then, temporarily suppressing the irritability and anger in her heart, she asked in great surprise:
"Xiaoshan, my son, aren't you in Jinling? Why did you suddenly come to the capital to visit your godmother?"
"It was the old matriarch who sent someone to call my son back, godmother, as soon as my son comes back, I will come to see you as an old man, and I haven't had time to enter the mansion to kowtow."
Hearing that Li Xiaoshan came to visit her first, Nanny Lai was satisfied, but she still pretended to reprimand him:
"Nonsense, the master summoned you, you dare to waste time, why don't you go to the mansion quickly, and see what this old woman is doing?"
Li Xiaoshan immediately showed a worried expression, just like the honest and timid one many years ago:
"Godmother, I'm afraid of meeting the second master. If the second master asks, did I watch the Duke take the elixir with my own eyes, what should I say? Didn't you say back then, tell me not to talk too much? "
Hearing Li Xiaoshan mentioned the word "Lingdan", Nanny Lai was puzzled at first, but suddenly, the past was vivid in her memory, she looked at Li Xiaoshan with more pity:
"My son, if the second master asks, you can say that the old matriarch has already given medicine to the Duke, so why hesitate? Didn't you watch the old matriarch take the medicine to visit the Duke?"
"But, but, I didn't see the Duke eating it himself?"
"It's really a child's talk. The elixir has been sent in, so why don't you give it to the Duke? You have been dumbfounded all day, what are you thinking?"
Lai Momo smiled perfunctorily, but Li Xiaoshan, who was kneeling at her feet, suddenly stood up, staring at Lai Momo with a pair of eyes:
"Godmother, I think every day, why do you push me into the lake? The lake is so cold, and the water plants are so entangled that my son can't breathe. Godmother, my son's little treasure has just been full moon, but my son I can't go home anymore, so I can only wander in the lake every day. Godmother, since you love your son so much, why don't you come and accompany him..."
Li Xiaoshan's words seemed to have suddenly awakened Nanny Lai's sanity, and she regained consciousness all of a sudden.She remembered!This godson Li Xiaoshan died a long time ago, he was pushed into the lake by her and drowned, how can he come to visit her in the mansion?
As Nanny Lai woke up, the appearance of Li Xiaoshan in front of him gradually changed, his whole body was wet, his face was pale and swollen, and there were strips of fishy brown waterweed wrapped around his neck.
This is clearly the ghost who came to claim his life!
Nanny Lai suddenly trembled with fright...
After several threats and the water ghost threatening the lives of Lai's family members, Nanny Lai quickly confessed everything she knew.
According to Madam Nalai, when Jia Zheng's father, Duke Rong Jia Daishan was sick in bed, he found out some things his wife Shi Shi had done, which made him feel extremely disappointed and hated.
Thinking that his two sons and his beloved daughter were born of Shi Shi, he had to pinch his nose to cover up Shi Shi's wrongdoing.However, he is not going to let his wife continue to enjoy the wealth and honor, and become an uncompromising old lady after his death. He intends to let Shi Shi return to his hometown in Jinling, eat fast, chant Buddha and repent for the rest of his life.
However, his plan was noticed by Shi Shi in advance.
Shi quickly discussed with his confidant, Nanny Lai, how they should save themselves.When he was at a loss, his second son, who was studying in Jinling, sent someone to deliver a life-saving panacea, saying that as long as he took this pill, Jia Daishan would turn the crisis into safety and recover gradually.
This simply made Shi's precarious situation worse, so when she heard the secret report from Madam Lai, she hurriedly stepped forward and intercepted half of the little red fox's elixir with a smile.
She didn't want to use the panacea to do bad things and blame others.
Because in Shi's view, the elixir is the filial piety of the second son, if something happens to Jia Daishan after taking the elixir, and there will be some rumors in the future, it will not be good for his son's reputation.
So, after she took the medicine into the house in front of Li Xiaoshan, she changed hands and hid the medicine without saying a word at all.
As for later, Jia Daishan's condition suddenly worsened, and even in the last few days, he could not even speak while lying on the bed. Lai Nanny didn't know if there was Shi's extra handwriting in it.
She just begged for mercy with Li Xiaoshan's ghost, saying that the person who wanted to kill him was Mrs. Shi, and she had nothing to do with Lai Momo.She was also forced to follow orders at the beginning, otherwise, as a person who also knew about the elixir, she would not be able to please her.
Nanny Lai burst into tears and told Li Xiaoshan how she took care of Li Xiaoshan's parents, wife and children all these years, she gave all the wealth and honor she could, and absolutely did not make his family suffer or suffer.
But Li Xiaoshan, the water ghost, would not forget his hatred just because of Nanny Lai's sophistry. He felt that Pei Xiang had no intention of stopping him, so he threw himself on Nanny Lai...
When Pei Xiang took the water ghost back into the jade bottle again, Nanny Lai was already pale and tired on the ground, if not for the slight ups and downs in her chest, she would be like a dead person.
However, even if she was not killed by the ghost, her body collapsed completely, and what awaited her was just a few days of life.
"The murderer who directly killed you has been punished, and there is another real murderer behind the scenes. Do you still want revenge?"
"Pray for the Lord's mercy and fulfillment."
"Nurse Lai is easy to deal with, but Mr. Shi is hard to get close to. Jia's mansion still hangs the plaque of the Duke's Mansion. It has the protection of ancestors and door gods. You, an ordinary water ghost, can't get close to it."
Li Xiaoshan has been a ghost for many years, so naturally he is no longer as dull and honest as he was when he was alive, otherwise he would not have had the vicious thought of looking for a substitute ghost.
Before Pei Xiang found him, he was already trying to lure innocent passers-by into drowning.
Therefore, after hearing Pei Xiang's words, he quickly made a gesture of prostration:
"I beg for mercy from the Taoist priest. As long as I can avenge my hatred, the small one can only be driven! Taoist priest, the young one is stupid, but he still has a bit of yin energy, and he has also realized some transformation techniques. If you have any inconvenience, just do it." Tell the little one, the little one must be so heartbroken that he will go through fire and water."
Pei Xiang shook his head: "I don't want to force you to do bad things, but I just want to tell you that if you insist on seeking revenge from the Shi family, I can send you to Jia's mansion. However, after entering, your soul will have to be weakened a bit, and Shi Shi still has an imperial order to reward her, if you want to hurt her, you will definitely lose your soul in the end."
This made the water ghost Li Xiaoshan hesitate for a moment, and he asked cautiously: "The soul is gone? Then, does that villain have no chance of reincarnation?"
Pei Xiang nodded.
The water ghost asked again: "Then how far can I hurt Shi Shi?"
Pei Xiang thought for a while: "A serious illness will reduce your lifespan by three years."
The water ghost gritted his teeth: "God is so unfair!"
Pei Xiang was silent for a while, but didn't answer.In fact, she also felt helpless in this godly and hierarchical world.
"Think about it first, and give me an answer at this time tomorrow. If you don't want to continue to take revenge, I will send you to reincarnation. When the time comes, you will be rewarded and punished for your merits and demerits. What will happen in this life and the next life will make sense."
After explaining, Pei Xiang ignored Li Xiaoshan, the water ghost, and turned to talk to Bai Jin beside him:
"Jia Zheng cherishes his reputation, and he doesn't want people around him to know that he is dating a beautiful woman whose identity is unknown. Among the many entourages and servants, only the honest and taciturn Li Xiaoshan knows something, so this gift of the elixir It fell on Li Xiaoshan, and the rest of the people didn't know about it. When Li Xiaoshan arrived at Jia's mansion, he was directly led by Nanny Lai to see Mrs. Shi. Therefore, the person who really knew about the elixir from the beginning to the end was this person. Just a few people."
Bai Jin took Pei Xiang's hand and walked side by side on the stone road at night.
"Now, we understand that Jia Zheng's father did not take the half of the demon pill, but was naturally or, um, suspected to be killed. Then, let's solve the next doubt, which is why Jia Zheng thought , it was the poisonous panacea that killed Jia Daishan."
"That's a question," Pei Xiang sighed slowly, "I guess we have to ask Shi and Jia Zheng himself."
The two of them were talking, and they walked towards the majestic Jia Mansion.
Outside the gate of Jia's mansion, the two were blocked by the door god, but when the door god Jiawei saw Bai Jin, they both became more polite.
Standing with his hands behind his back, Bai Jin briefly explained the grievances between the people in this family and their fox clan juniors.He said that this time he brought the victim here to investigate in person, and he will decide whether it is right or wrong at that time. If he insists on blocking it, don't blame him for being rude.
Pei Xiang followed Bai Jin, watching the door gods meekly get out of the way, and let her and Bai Jin in without further questioning, suddenly felt a wonderful feeling of pretentiousness.
Bai Jin seemed to see what she was thinking, and patted her on the head lightly.
Pei Xiang immediately offered words of praise: "Sure enough, the young master is still mighty. If I came alone, I might have to spend a little more time to sneak into this mansion. Now it saves a lot of energy and time. .”
"I don't want you to spend too much time on investigating past grievances. Let's settle the battle quickly, and then study how to solve the policeman. After that, I will take you home to get married. That is the most important thing thing."
Thinking of the little red fox's regret and nostalgia before performing the inheritance secret method, Pei Xiang hummed heavily, and tightened Bai Jin's hand:
"Let's return to the ethnic land as soon as possible. I miss the grassland and mountain spring there."
"Okay, there is a clear spring in front of my cave, the water quality is sweet. The spring water is surrounded by lush vegetation, quiet and quiet, it is definitely a good place to bask in the sun."
Pei Xiang looked yearning, and at the same time began to consider whether to bring some gifts to the former neighbors and companions who played with him.
Thinking of presents, Pei Xiang suddenly remembered his master who went out for a banquet...
"Bai Jin, have you told my master about my recovery of memory?"
"...Contact him as soon as you're done!"
"Okay," Pei Xiang blinked guiltyly: "I also need to contact Master, haha, when it comes to going home to bask in the sun, I almost forgot, I haven't left my teacher yet."
——Study, you still have to continue!
After chatting for a while, the two found Shi Taijun's location.
Pei Xiang didn't release the water ghost Li Xiaoshan this time, but directly set up formations around Shi Taijun's room.Then, she went into battle in person, transformed into Rong Guogong Jia Daishan, and confronted Shi Taijun.
In fact, she didn't know what Jia Daishan looked like, but the illusion array taught to her by Taoist Weizhu was very clever, and it was difficult to tell the truth from the truth.As long as she gives Shi Taijun some hints, the old lady will naturally feel that Pei Xiang looks like her deceased husband.
Because Nanny Lai was interrogated first, Pei Xiang was very clear about some of Shi Taijun's secret past.And she is well versed in conversational skills, but with a few pointed questions and accusations, Shi Taijun is convinced that the cold and solemn man beside the bed is the soul of her husband.
After many years of death, this person came to the world to question her by some chance.
The husband and wife have been together for many years, regardless of Jia Daishan, Shi Shi has a lot of complaints about this husband.Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly withheld the panacea sent by his son without hesitation back then, and watched the old man's condition worsen and finally died.
As the hostess of Zhongfu, Shi Taijun has experienced a lot of ups and downs. Compared with her confidant, Nanny Lai, she is more tenacious and calm.
Such a character is definitely not one or two fierce ghosts or a few shouts that can make her subdue. In addition, she has the imperial order, Pei Xiang's current methods can't confuse her mind at all, so this is a tough battle .
Of course, Pei Xiang didn't intend to make Jia's mother frightened into a fight like interrogating the water ghosts Li Xiaoshan and Lai Nanny, and then explain everything clearly.
She just wanted to know what happened to Jia Zheng when Jia Daishan was seriously ill and died.
Pei Xiang plays the role of Rong Guogong, complaining that Jia's mother has been partial to the second wife these years, causing Jia's family to be disorderly, and the status is unknown. This is simply the root of the family's decline.
She also showed a heartbroken look, saying that the second son, Jia Zheng, was pedantic and hypocritical, full of benevolence, morality, propriety, justice and shame, but stealing the main courtyard of Rongguo Mansion for many years, it was simply unfilial and disfraternal.
When Shi Taijun sees his dead ghost husband scolding his second son severely, and tries his best to defend the greedy and lustful boss, for some reason, he is aroused the dissatisfaction and grievances that have been suppressed in his heart for many years.In addition, she has been pampered and pampered for many years, and she is used to being the "grandfather" in this mansion, so she doesn't have the patience of the past, so she quarrels with Pei Xiang's version of Jia Daishan's ghost.
During the quarrel, she told about Jia Zheng's donation of medicine to her father.
She laughed at Jia Daishan for being confused, thinking that the second son was unfilial and hypocritical.
The truth is, after Jia Zheng obtained the panacea, he did not keep it for his own use. Instead, he immediately sent his servants to bring it back quickly.As for the eldest son he valued, he was secretly kissing the maid in the study at that time, Jia Daishan never could see clearly who was filial and who was not.
After the story of the panacea was revealed, Pei Xiang's version of Jia Daishan did not show any surprise.He is no longer an ordinary person at this time, so naturally he "should" know many things that he didn't know before he was alive.
"Oh, filial piety, why don't you ask the second brother how he got the panacea? I really dare not accept his filial piety! Thanks to you for keeping the panacea and allowing me to live a few more days. Otherwise, heh, the second child will be charged with poisoning his father."
Hearing the deceased husband directly mentioning the fact that he had hidden the elixir, Shi Taijun was startled at first, and then came to a sudden realization.
She thought to herself that it was so, after this person died, he could know many things that he didn't know before he was alive.With this understanding, Shi Taijun's aura was weakened by three points. After all, she was still afraid of ghosts and gods.
"Master, why do you really blame the second child?"
Once Shi Taijun felt jealous, his attitude softened a little:
"I don't know where Zheng'er got the baby, but that child has never been bad for you. I have also tested the panacea myself. Once the seal was opened, the room was full of fragrance. Halo. Just taking a sip of the medicinal fragrance, I feel that my body is three points healthy, if you really take it, you will definitely be cured."
Pei Xiang saw that he had reached a critical point, but he didn't dare to say more, for fear of revealing his flaws, he smiled coldly, with regret and remorse in his eyes, and made a full gesture.
Sure enough, she didn't speak at this time, but made Shi Taijun tell more truths:
"Did you think there was something wrong with the medicine because of Zhu'er's death, and that Zheng'er wanted to harm you?"
These words made Pei Xiang's eyebrows twitch.
"You, your Jia family pays attention to producing filial sons under the stick. You have always treated your son like an enemy. You were like that at the beginning, and now you have become a ghost, and you are still the same. Zheng'er has grown up, and his temper has turned sour. Follow you, beat or scold your son, never say a soft word, Zhu Er, Zhu Er was forced to death by him.
"That's my eldest grandson, how could I just watch him die, so I took out the panacea that I had treasured for many years. However, the panacea no longer had the fragrance and halo of the original, I guess it was time The medicine lost its effect after a long time, or maybe Zhuer was unlucky, and the gods wouldn't let me save Zhuer.
"But at that time, the imperial doctors were helpless, and they were all prepared for the funeral. What could I do? I could only bite the bullet and secretly administered the pill to Zhu'er. Unexpectedly, after the pill lost its effect, On the contrary, it became poisonous, and it killed Pearl's life immediately."
When Shi Taijun said this, he thought that when Jia Daishan's ghost first appeared, he kept saying that she caused the family to decline and left the family with no successors, so he couldn't help thinking a little more, thinking that the other party was mourning Jia Zhu's early death.
"Master, did you blame Zheng'er and me because of Zhu'er's death? But we really didn't have bad intentions. When Zheng'er brought the medicine, it was good. When it was given to Zhu'er, Zhu'er didn't have much time left. Master, Zhu'er is my own grandson, Zheng'er's eldest son, who would want to harm him?"
When Shi Taijun talked about Jia Zhu's early death, he felt sorry for him, so he couldn't help talking about the past.
She said that Jia Zhu was smart and eager to learn since she was a child.However, who would have thought that his fortune was so poor that he would let a white-haired man give a black-haired one.
She also talked about how Jia Zhu's body gradually weakened, and how she sought medical advice everywhere, until that day, she gave her eldest grandson the panacea her son asked for, but unexpectedly, it became a life-threatening talisman ...
When Pei Xiang heard this, he suddenly realized that the day when Jia Zhu died after taking the medicine was exactly the time when the little dancer died silently.
She suddenly had a clear understanding in her heart, knowing that she had found the direct cause of the original body's death.
The original body passed away quietly in sleep, did he feel that her half of the demon pill was finally used, and he was wronged from the beginning to the end?
Or, she sensed in the dark that the person who wronged her at the beginning finally reaped the consequences of his own death and gave his closest relatives the deteriorating demon pill;
Or, her grievances, resentment and incomprehension all dissipated with the disappearance of the half demon pill?
Pei Xiang couldn't understand the special connection between the half of the demon pill and the little red fox after casting the secret method of inheritance, but the day Jia Zhu died after taking the demon pill was indeed the night when she woke up and met the painted skin ghost.
Pei Xiang's thoughts were spinning, but she quickly suppressed many thoughts, and suddenly interrupted Shi Taijun's crying, and asked directly:
"Shi Shi, you said that you and the second child didn't know that the elixir was poisonous, so why... What does the second child look like in front of my mourning hall?"
Pei Xiang didn't elaborate on what Jia Zheng looked like, but Shi Taijun immediately felt that he understood what his late husband meant.Immediately, two expressions of guilt appeared on his face:
"When the second child came back, he asked me why you didn't recover after taking the medicine? I told him that the so-called panacea may not be real, or that the Taoist priests in the mountains deceived him when he was young and inexperienced, and deceived him with fake medicines. Where's the money?"
"that is it?"
"I was just perfunctory at first, but I don't know what slander Zheng'er heard outside, and I feel that the medicine is actually poisonous, and I feel that I have been deceived and indirectly harmed you, so I have been depressed.
"Later, I discovered that he started to get close to some Taoist priests, and I didn't know what he was busy with. After the filial piety period, he stopped looking for immortals and started to study economics again. I didn't ask more questions. I reckoned that during that time, he wanted to find a Taoist priest to verify whether the elixir he found for you was useful or not.
"Master, you blame me for being more and more partial to the second child these years. The reason for this is that I concealed the elixir. Because of this incident, I always feel guilty towards Zheng'er."
Hearing this, Pei Xiang felt that there was no need to ask any more questions.
Obviously, after Jia Zheng was perfunctory by his mother, doubts arose in his heart, and then, probably, the phantoms whispered in his ears, making him think that the little red fox's panacea was poisonous. tragedy.
Pei Xiang closed his eyes, feeling unworthy of the little red fox.
With a flick of her sleeves, Mother Jia passed out on the ground. Then, she withdrew the phantom array she had set up before, and pulled Bai Jin away from Rongguo Mansion without saying a word.
Bai Jin first followed behind Pei Xiang, watching her silently as she walked forward.After the two of them walked two streets, he picked up Pei Xiang and flew up with her.
"Zhaoxi, let me take you to see the stars and the sea of clouds."
"Okay, then can you become a big fox and let me hug you?"
"Okay, come on my back."
