After laying down a trace of doubts in his heart, Shangguan Li still had some questions after hearing these words.

"How did you and Aunt Su know that Zhang Yuanniang has a problem?"

Shangguan Yan did not answer this question directly, but looked at Shangguan Bu who had been silent.

The bone between Shangguan Bu's head and neck seemed to collapse, and his whole body drooped, looking listless.

At the first moment, I didn't find Shangguan Yan and Shangguan Li looking at him.

Shangguan Yan raised her eyebrows and her voice suddenly became cold.

"Shangguan Bu, are you boneless? I see that the posture in the army is completely out of your mind!"

Shangguan Bu was startled and almost fell directly from the chair.

Half of his leg was hung on the chair, and the other leg had fallen into the ginkgo leaves on the ground. At the critical moment, he supported the stone in front of him with both hands to barely maintain the balance.

Shangguan Li looked at it like this and felt like a pitiful monkey taken out during a performance in the street corner.

But the used to being cowardly monkey moved his mouth and made a great decision to say something to contradict Guan Yan.

"I don't go to the battlefield, you don't care about me."

Shangguan Yan didn't say anything, but stared at his back with a very cold look, staring Shangguan Bu's cold sweat out, and after holding on for less than a minute, he surrendered.

"I know, I know, how do you know that Zhang Yuanniang has a problem, right?"

Shangguan Bu got up from the ground and sat back, then said.

"I saw it."

"You see?"

Shangguan Li was really surprised.

"What did you see?"

"I can't explain it clearly, either."

Shangguan Bu said this first, then frowned and continued.

"Didn't Zhang Yuanniang live in the Wisteria courtyard next to Qiufengyuan? I wanted to go and play with my elder sister, and then I saw a black shadow slipping into her room from the window behind the yard."

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I thought I was playing hide-and-seek, so I climbed in through the window and wanted to play with them, and then I heard them talking."

Shangguan Bu's brows became tighter and tighter, as if that was not a pleasant experience.

At that time, Zhang Yuanniang was surprised: "Why are you here?"

"I'm ordered to send you something."

"Is the Seven-Secret Incense Score? I've already..."

"It's Qiyi, something is wrong with her. Help the master stare at her and report any abnormalities at any time. If you receive an order related to Qiyi, kill her."

Shangguan Bu's voice was very heavy. At this moment, he seemed no longer the coward who would be scared to cry when he heard of firecrackers.

"Short after that, something happened to Aunt Qi."

Shangguan Li nodded, thinking about something.

This conversation coincides with what she saw in Zhang Yuanniang’s letter.

The problem now is, Qi Yi, who is the original mother, and what exactly is there in her hands that makes this "master" care about her so much.

"I told my elder sister about this, and discussed it with Aunt Su, and decided to stay away from Zhang Yuanniang in the future. Because we don't know who is behind her."

"At that time, my elder sister wanted to tell you, but Aunt Su said that you had just lost your mother, and after knowing this, I was afraid that I would be impulsive, so I thought of hiding it for a while and telling you when the limelight passed. But I didn't say it at that time, and there was less and less chance in the future."

Because Zhang Yuanniang's control over the prime minister's mansion became stronger.

After listening quietly, Shangguan Yan did not comment, but looked at the contemplative Shangguan Li and asked.

"Do you have anything else to know?"

Shangguan Li put down the teacup and swayed slowly along the wooden chair. She looked so lazy, but Shangguan Yan didn't blame her. This different treatment made Shangguan Bu cry.

"There is another last question, how did Aunt Su and Aunt Li survive at that time?"

Asking their mother in front of other children why they didn't die, the emotional intelligence of this question was extremely low.

But this question is very important.

So many people died back then, but the two who threatened Zhang Yuanniang's status were safe and sound.

They all have children.

No matter how you think about it, why doesn’t you look like Zhang Yuanniang’s style?

Shangguan Yan's long eyebrows also tightened to the middle, and she spoke hesitantly.

"I don't know much about this, but according to my mother, she actually encountered danger. A servant confused the corn soup of the medicine mouse with my mother's."

"My mother almost drank it, but the maid who was serving accidentally bumped into my mother and spilled all the soup, so she had to sweep it out and feed the dog."

"The dog died that night. My mother and I realized that the corn soup was poisonous. Later, we found out that this was the result."

"But of course my mother wouldn't believe the situation at that time. She went to report to the prime minister the next day and never asked the servants to serve him again."

After hearing this story, Shangguan Li was naturally aware of the suspicious point, so she asked immediately.

"Where is the maid who saved Aunt Su?"

Shangguan Yan gave her a look of "You really think so," but she sighed and shook her head.

"Of course, my mother wanted to thank her in person, but the maid disappeared from the prime minister's mansion the next day and has never appeared again."

"Now that she thought about it, she must have saved my mother intentionally, but she didn't know why she didn't even want the reward."

Some people want to kill, some people want to save.

The prime minister's residence back then was like a calm ocean on the surface, with countless turbulent flows inside, making it difficult to see the truth.

Shangguan Li vaguely felt that she had grabbed a thread, but there was still a lack of evidence.

Although the incident nine years ago was still shrouded in a layer of fog, Shangguan Yan's words made Shangguan Li understand many things.

"I remember one thing."

Shangguan Li suddenly said.

"What?"

"I used to have no toys, and no one was willing to accompany me, so if I had free time, I would play with mud and stones."

Shangguan Li raised her head, the sky was far and deep, and her tone unconsciously brought a hint of nostalgia.

"I like the most is stone, because the things made of mud, no matter how exquisite they are, will disappear cleanly after a rain."

"Even if it is placed in the house, it will gradually dry up and crack over time, and finally turn into powder and disappear bit by bit."

"Stones are made of different things. The things made of stones will not change for decades. I liked this kind of thing that will not change at that time."

"The stone is too hard, I can't make it what I want, so I picked up a lot, but few of them really like it."

Shangguan Yan looked away and covered the emotions in her eyes.

Shangguan Li continued.
