Chapter Seventy-Seven: If Life Is Only as First Seen


The eldest lady was right, the old lady did have such a thought.Although the old lady noticed that this matter was a little strange, she didn't have the heart to make any extraneous things happen at the moment, and in her opinion, the sooner this matter was resolved, the better.There are not a few of these private things in the courtyard of the inner house, the old lady has long been accustomed to it, in the inner house, as for what the truth is, it doesn't matter at all, what she cares about is how to properly solve it so that it has the least impact on the Li Mansion.Like these big families, dignitaries, the most important thing is face, seriously investigate it, there are a few people who are really innocent, and everyone is just tacit.At this time, the old lady pointed to solve the matter as soon as possible, and it was better to give an explanation to the Li Mansion, the Zhou Mansion and the Wang Mansion.In this way, the two family members in the backyard of the Li Mansion, although they were very unhappy on weekdays, they had already thought of each other tacitly at this time.The eldest lady thought in her heart that she wanted to interrogate the two in front of the old lady first, and take the initiative, so after pleading guilty to the old lady, she turned around and scolded Chunmei with an angry face: "Chunmei, what do you say is going on, how can you do such a thing, dare to commit adultery with someone in the Li Mansion" Chunmei saw the eldest lady coming, and there was still a trace of luck in her heart, thinking that the eldest lady would make the decision for her, at this moment, when she heard the words of the eldest lady, her heart sank completely, and the pain in her hands came, I'm afraid it's not as cold and gray as in her heart.But she also knew that she had no choice, no matter what, she couldn't involve the eldest lady and the fourth lady, her own sister was still on an errand in the eldest lady's courtyard.If she doesn't say it, the eldest lady may give her sister some compensation for her faithful protection, and promise her a good future.After figuring out all this, Chunmei lay on the ground and replied to the eldest lady's question, her voice was full of remorse: "Old lady, eldest lady, spare your life, it was the slave and the maid who were confused for a while to make such a big mistake, the slave and the maid knew that they were wrong, please let the old lady and the eldest lady spare the slave and maid's life, and the slave and the maid will be a cow and a horse in the future, and they dare not forget the great kindness of the old lady and the eldest lady." ”When the eldest lady saw Chunmei admit all her mistakes so quickly, her heart was slightly wider, this Chunmei was still a discerning person, and she knew that if the eldest lady was involved, the end would be worse than now.When Wang Minzhi heard Chunmei's words, he was also relieved, so his life could be regarded as saved.So when the eldest lady turned around and scolded him loudly, he didn't hesitate at all, quickly kowtowed and admitted his mistake, only saying that Chunmei secretly let him in to meet, saying that there was no one in the warm pavilion of this plum garden, and this incident happened because he couldn't hold it, and said that he didn't dare to guarantee it.Now that the eldest lady has come, the old lady is happy to be idle, she was reluctant to meddle in such a thing, but now that the eldest lady has come forward, she will let the eldest lady interrogate the two people on the ground.At this time, the old lady was relieved to see that the two people on the ground had confessed to the crime of adultery and did not involve anything else, so as long as these two people were punished well, the matter would be over, and she would send someone to those mansions to make amends.Thinking of this, the old lady was also a little tired, and seeing that the rest of the things here could be handled, the eldest lady didn't want to stay in this warm pavilion for a moment.Although the window has been open for so long, the obscene smell in the house is almost inaudible, but when she thinks of the scene she saw here before, the old lady felt a diaphragm in her heart, so she said: "Daughter-in-law, the matter here is almost the same, you can watch and deal with the rest of the things yourself, the interrogation is appropriate, and a few people will be escorted to the firewood room to find someone to see, how to deal with it or wait for your master to come back and make a decision, I am a little tired, go back to Yixin Garden first." ”At this time, the eldest lady wished that the old lady would leave earlier, and the province would be in the way here, so she hurriedly persuaded: "There is me here, you should go back to Yixinyuan to rest early, and when I turn around, I will report to you." ”The old lady nodded, and ordered a few rough mothers-in-law in the house to stay and listen to the eldest lady's dispatch, after all, there is a foreign man here, or leave a few rough mothers-in-law just in case, and then let Mama Zhao help her get up, and leave the warm pavilion with a few maids.The eldest lady watched the old lady leave, waited for a while, raised her eyes to the open window, and until she could no longer see the figure of the old lady and her party, then turned around and sat down, and the maid beside her had already brought hot tea again.The eldest lady picked up the hot tea on the table, and did not rush to her mouth, but gently scraped the edge of the teacup with the tea lid, and looked at the two people on the ground with complicated eyes, but she was not in a hurry to speak.Originally, I wanted to say something, but when I thought of these rough mothers-in-law left by the old lady, I was still a little uneasy after all, so I just knocked on the two people on the ground for a few more words, and let those rough mothers-in-law tie up Wang Minzhi and Chunmei, take them out of the warm pavilion, send them to the firewood room, and wait for the old man to come back and send them down.After the rough mother-in-law left, the doctor called Yuhe beside her and whispered a few words.When Yuhe heard the eldest lady's order, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly responded, turned around and walked out of the warm pavilion, and walked quickly in the direction of the main gate of the Li Mansion.The eldest lady was not in a hurry to leave, she rushed over in a hurry just now, her mouth was thirsty, she picked up the tea that she had not drunk just now, gently brought it to her mouth, and took a sip elegantly, and the water temperature in her heart was just right.The eldest lady tasted this cup of tea so unhurriedly, and the doctor got up and stood up, walked outside the warm pavilion, and walked a few steps, the eldest lady suddenly paused, as if she remembered something, and slowly said: "The tea just now is good, appreciate." ”There was a silence in the crowd for a while, and I didn't expect the eldest lady to stop suddenly and come to such a sentence.Immediately, a little maid reacted, and the eldest lady was praising her for how well she made tea, and her heart was excited.Hurry up and get on your knees to thank you.The eldest lady glanced at the little maid on the ground and smiled slightly, "You are good, get up, you will serve in the house in the future." ”The little maid called Ping'er was just a maid in the Hibiscus Garden who served tea and swept it, but she didn't expect to be so appreciated by the eldest lady because of a cup of tea, and she went into the house to serve that it was a step to the sky for her, and the money of Guangyue would be doubled, how could she not be excited, so she hurriedly kowtowed vigorously to thank her, knowing that the eldest lady opened her mouth to let her get up, so she got up and stood back respectfully among the crowd.The maids and women present were all not envious of the good luck of this little maid without exception.In Qingfeng Garden, Li Wanru was reading the information that Mo Yu got back from Langning Bookstore at this time.The last time Li Wanru asked Moyu to send a letter to Langning Bookstore, it was actually to ask the two Langning brothers to use manpower to find out who the person who entered the Li Mansion that day was, and who could have had contact with that scoundrel Wang Minzhi in the past few days.Li Wanru didn't expect that the two Langning brothers had such a great energy now, and they would send a reply so quickly.Just when she was looking intently, she heard a sudden noise in the courtyard, Mo Yu hurriedly opened the curtain and went out to check, and saw that many people and rough envoys were looking around outside Qingfeng Garden, Mo Yu grabbed a mother-in-law and asked what happened.The mother-in-law happened to know Moyu, and knew that she was serving by the side of the second lady, and she was also very dignified, so although she was in a hurry, she patiently explained a few words, saying that someone in the house had found a thief, and kindly told her to go back and tell Qingfeng Yuan to pay attention to lock the door of the garden, and not to walk around in the house at will.Mo Yu said thank you, turned around and entered Qingfeng Garden, thought about it and called a few little maids in the courtyard to plug in the garden door, and then entered the house to return to Li Wanru.After hearing what Mo Yu said, Li Wanru was curious, why has the Li Mansion been so unpeaceful recently, and the guards are too loose, could it be that the back house of the Li Mansion has become a vegetable market, and anyone can easily come in.Li Wanru thought about it and asked Mo Yu to go to the third aunt's house to inform them about the matter, so that they could be mentally prepared, and told her not to come in to serve later, she still had something to think about, Mo Yu withdrew when she heard this.Li Wanru didn't have the heart to care about these things, she was more concerned about the information in her hand now, as she expected, this matter seemed to be inseparable from Li Wanqing and Li Wanyun, and the person who bought Wang Minzhi described in the information should be Chunmei next to Li Wanyun.As for the identity of the man in white, there is no clue, and after all, when the third aunt saw the man in white at that time, he was masked.Li Wanru looked at the letter in her hand seriously, but her mind drifted a little far.Count it out, her eldest brother Li Haoping is also coming back soon When Li Wanru came to her senses, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, it is said that she should be the only one in this room now, why did she smell a strange breath She just wanted to turn her head to look at her boudoir, but she didn't expect that as soon as she turned her head, her lips touched a piece of warm skin.Before Li Wanru screamed in shock, her mouth was covered by a slender and white palm, Rao is Li Wanru thought that she could be calm on weekdays, and she couldn't help but be shocked at this moment, how could there be a strange man in her boudoir Why didn't she notice it at all, when did this man come in Could it be the thief in the mansion who was searching for a man dressed in white clothes, at this moment she looked at Li Wanru with interest, and found that she seemed to be a panicked deer targeted by hunters at the moment, People don't know how funny in their hearts, this girl, doesn't her face always sink like water on weekdays, it's rare that she also has a panic time.Li Wanru felt the scrutiny of the man next to her, and saw that he was just covering his mouth without any further movements, and her mind finally stabilized, and she kept thinking of countermeasures in her mind.She wanted to signal the man with her eyes and let go of her, so she looked up at the man beside her, and Li Wanru couldn't help but be stunned at this look.This man who seems to be as handsome as a fairy, why is he so familiar, he is not the second son of Pingyang Mansion, no, no, the second son, there is no black mole in the center of his eyebrows, but if he is not, how can there be two people who are so similar in this world Who is this man Thinking of it, just now her lips kissed the handsome face without the slightest flaw, Li Wanru couldn't help but blush a little.aa2705221:
