That day will always be a taboo for the Lin family, since the eldest lady ran to the old lady's house with messy clothes and untidy appearance, the old lady gave a death order, and no one was allowed to be within ten feet of the main house.
At the beginning of summer and Chun Nuan, they stood far away, walking back and forth in fear, for fear that something big would happen.
Chun Nuan had a white face, and said anxiously to Xia Chu: "What did you say about this, we have both been serving the old lady for so many years, when did we avoid such a distance, it's not that the old lady doesn't trust us" "Now when you think about this, you also have some brains, if the old lady is dissatisfied with us, you can just beat and scold or throw it out, why do you need to think about anything else."
No wonder she is not young, in addition to occupying the position of the big girl, she can only do some errands and pass on words.
Xia Chu took the handkerchief around a few times, suddenly bit his lower lip, and said, "You watch first, I'll go to the thatched house." ” Chun Nuan responded, and added: "Then you go and come back quickly, I am alone here and my heart is panicked." ” nodded patiently and left without looking back.
With his familiarity with the back house, Xia Chu chose the nearest road, and hurriedly passed through several round moon gates with his head down, and in front of him was a three-room courtyard.
"Madam, the early summer girl next to the old lady is here and says she wants to see you."
Mother Liu opened the curtain and came in and bowed.
Cui Shi was looking at the account books on his dowry shop, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Why is she here, isn't this girl very loyal to the old lady, just let her in." ” Xia Chu thought very clearly, anyway, this matter is so big, the third wife will know sooner or later, it is better to come to receive this merit first, the old lady is getting older, and in recent days, she has been angry again, maybe one day, the owners of each house are still the most energetic, and they have made up their minds to please Cui's well, Xia Chu lowered his waist a few points, and said respectfully: "The slave and maid have to return to the third wife."
His eyes swept over Mother Liu, who was standing on the side, and she stopped talking a little.
Cui Shi looked at Xia Chu with a smile and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mother Liu can be trusted, you can say anything about it." ” Xia Chu listened, and no longer hesitated, the bamboo tube poured beans like how the eldest lady was crazy to find the old lady, and then the old lady drove the people she served far away, she peeked at the two women with their faces covered and brought in, and so on, worthy of being the most useful big girl around the old lady, Xia Chu's words were detailed and meticulous, and organized, and also described one of the threaded skirts wearing a rose pink, which was the style of a young woman.
Cui quickly figured out what was going on, his heart tightened, and he stood up awkwardly.
"Ma'am."
Mother Liu looked at Cui Shi worriedly, and couldn't help but say something.
"I'm fine."
Cui's face gradually hardened, and there was a faint sense of evil, "You go back first, I know about this, and I won't forget your credit." ” Xia Chu secretly glanced up, and immediately lowered his head, his heart pounded violently, until he walked out of the yard and gently stroked his chest, secretly shocked: This third wife was really terrible just now, her eyes looked like a fierce man fighting to the death, and people who watched it were panicked.
Cui Shi in the house sneered: "What two fools, who gave her a way to live but didn't know how to cherish it at that time, and now she has an accident and has to affect others." ” Mother Liu frowned, unconsciously stirred the handkerchief with her right hand, and wondered: "It's been so long, why was that incident turned out again, wasn't it cleaned up at that time?"
"Hmph, we cleaned her up, if she lives a good life from now on, nothing will go wrong, but what can she do if she wants to find death, I'm afraid she has done something unseemly recently."
Cui Shi pondered for a moment, and a cruel cold light crossed his eyes: "You first let people spread the news, just leave three or five to spread in the house, anyway, it will be sealed immediately, and the meaning is just that, and then call a few more trustworthy little servants to pretend to be the family members of the Jiang Mansion, go to the teahouse, go to the major restaurants in the capital to gossip, and say" Cui's slender and long Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, like a haughty lioness who controls life and death, in order to protect her cherished child, finally showed her bloodthirsty fangs: "Just say, The family style of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion was not right, and the grandmother of the eldest young man of the long house actually committed adultery with her father-in-law Ning Yuanhou, and was caught and raped in bed by Mrs.
Yongping Hou. ” Mother Liu was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and stammered: "Madam, this and this" Cui Shi smiled charmingly and continued: "It's not over yet, don't just say Ning Yuanhou, I'll count."
The delicate and slender fingers curled slightly, "Plus the second master, the concubine of the big house should also be fourteen, and the second son is only nine years old, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt to add it, anyway, it's also a sister-in-law." ” Seeing that Liu's mother was still standing stupidly, Cui Shi couldn't help but raise her voice: "Time is very tight, don't go quickly."
The usual sternness instantly made Liu's mother's eyes clear, and she hurriedly trotted out.
Cui Shi quietly took the Doucai Lotus Pond Mandarin Duck pattern cup on the Huanghuali square table, sent it to his lips and took two sips, the fine silver tassels hanging down from the sideburns shook out a little soft halo, the crystal clear jade hairpin hung low and flowed as if in the depths of the pupils, the hand dyed with the phoenix pill gently helped the step and shook, making a gurgling sound, Xiuyue came in with a small fruit plate, and said with a smile: "Mrs., it is the cherry sent by the third lady." ” I saw the small and delicate peacock green glazed mackerel lotus pattern plate green and lovely, among which a small handful of red and bright cherries were ripe just right, with crystal clear water droplets on it, and there were a few emerald green and tender leaves left in it to be decorated.
When Cui Shi heard that it was sent by Yulan, he didn't even look at it a second time, and said lightly: "If you like it, take it and divide it." ” Xiuyue's face suddenly bloomed, she knew that this plate of cherries was also given away for free, and the best treatment was to enter the stomachs of these maids, and the wife would never eat it.
"Wait, your son is from the porter, you go to him now, and quietly inquire about something for me, quickly."
Cui Shi stopped Xiuyue, who was about to bring the cherries down, and told her carefully: "Just ask her if there are any outsiders who have entered the inner courtyard recently, ask more clearly, don't let people know, and go back quickly." ” Obviously, Xiuyue's father is still very talented in the job of the porter, and Cui's knows very smoothly that there is a woman who is good at picking rouge and will occasionally be led in by the young nurse to make rouge for the young grandmother, white and delicate, not very old, and Hong's mother behaves intimately.
At this time, Liu's mother had already arranged for someone to come back, and when she heard this, she also thought of something, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "How can this young grandmother be so bold that she dares to steal people in the Hou Mansion" "Okay, after all, it's a small family, it's really heavenly."
Cui Shi waved his hand impatiently, obviously not wanting to hear the disgusting niece and daughter-in-law again.
"It's all done" Mother Liu straightened her waist and promised: "It's done, my wife can rest assured, they are all the sons of our house in our hands, and the boy is slippery, and when I hear that I am doing things for my wife, I am working hard, and then I am running faster than a rabbit when I receive the reward, and the small clothes of Jiang's house are not difficult to find, and the slave and maid have instructed them to pay attention to what they say, and they will not mess up."
After a pause, he said: "And just now, a few little girls from the old lady's yard came to tell the truth, but each of them can't be said very clearly, so the sum of several people is not as clear as the one at the beginning of Xia." ” "It's always good to have more people."
Cui Shi leaned lazily on the Fujixin armchair and said with a light smile: "For so long, the old lady should also judge something, I am waiting for the old lady to summon me now, I don't know if my sister-in-law really doesn't know, or if she was fooled by the slave and didn't know."
It didn't take long for the little maid in the old lady's room to come and invite Cui's.
Cui Shi smiled slightly, and walked towards Qingningju with Liu's mother's hand, since he has no scruples, then simply make trouble, it is better if this family is divided earlier.
Lin Yuanzhi, who was wearing official clothes at night, had just returned home, and was led to Qingningju by the mother-in-law who was waiting at the door, as soon as he entered the door, he faintly felt that something was wrong, his wife Cui's eyes were swollen and she was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, the old lady sat on the top with her eyes closed, the Buddha beads in her hands were twisted quickly, and the sister-in-law and the eldest brother stood aside with gloomy faces, and even a little reaction was owed when they saw him come in, and there were two embarrassed servants kneeling underneath, one of whom fainted.
"Mother."
Lin Yuanzhi gave Cui Shi an inquiring look and hesitated to speak.
"The third child is back."
When Shi heard the movement, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a helpless smile, and the wrinkles on his face were much deeper: "The old family said that Brother Yan and the Li family committed adultery, and they came to me to ask me to call the shots." ” "What, how is this possible."
Lin Yuanzhi's eyes suddenly became fierce, he didn't care what a crime this was, and shot at Fan like a sword: "I don't know what evidence my sister-in-law has, why did she say such words that trapped Brother Yan in an unfilial and unrighteous situation." ” Cui's cry also suddenly became terrible: "How can there be any evidence, it's the words of that damn servant woman, sister-in-law is going to completely destroy our Brother Yan'er before stopping, if this word spreads, how will Brother Yan'er behave in the future." ” Fan shrank a little in Lin Yuanzhi's inadvertent official authority, subconsciously glanced at Lin Hengzhi beside him, and saw that he didn't mean to answer at all, so he had to speak hard: "Mother Hong has been beaten for thirty boards, and she insists that she is an adulterer and the second young master, this is not evidence, is she not even willing to take her life in order to frame the second master?"
"Mother Hong, do you know what kind of official position this official is" Lin Yuanzhi was so angry that he even came out with an official tone.
"It's the squire of the criminal department."
Hong's mother's fat body was barely kneeling, her head and neck were covered with cold sweat, and the huge pain in her buttocks made her face unable to speak.
"Since you insist that it was the second young master and the eldest young grandmother who committed adultery, then tell the official about the specific situation now, such as the location of the tryst, when, who will receive it, how often it will be, and how detailed it can be.
If there is a mismatch, then tomorrow I will go to the Criminal Department with this official to see the ninety-nine eighty-one torture instruments.
At the end, he added a cold sentence: "If you can't wait for tomorrow, the official won't stop you, but think about your family, don't let them be affected by you." ” When Hong's mother heard this, she didn't know whether it was pain or fright, her body trembled like chaff, and finally she fainted with a roll of her eyes. gd1806102:
