Chapter 32: The person who strengthened her?
"What should I do? Do you want me to watch her fall into the mouth of the tiger? No, I'm going to find her!"
"At the beginning, calm down first. I know you are in a hurry now, but anxiety can't solve the problem. Come on, I'll help you go back and have a rest first. Let's make a long-term plan.
Zi's original intention was so urgent that she didn't have to think too much about it. She probably knew that the mulberry must have happened last night. I just hate that I don't have this ability. I know she is suffering, but I can't do anything.
Jun Yuchen took her back to the main room and sat down. Guipi wiped her tears and was also busy washing Zichu.
"Come on, take a cup of tea first and calm down first. Let me tell you, this matter is all on your side. As long as you grasp it well, you can take the opportunity to make a big deal.
After such a day in Tsinghua Courtyard, Jun Yuchen also saw clearly the environment where Zichu was located. Originally, according to the rules, the maids around the lady who had not left the cabinet of a large family could not be accepted.
What's more, Mulberry and Guipi are still the children sent by the Helian family, and even the deed of sale is not in the hands of the Song family, so as long as the son first quarrels up and the Helian family cooperates again, Zhu Xiaoyan and Song Siwen are unreasonable.
But what Zi first thought about was the importance of women's festivals in this era. Mulberry was taken away by the bastard Song Siwen all night, and he must be innocent. If you make trouble, you can naturally gain some advantage, but what about after the disturbance? What should I do if I call it mulberry? You can't force the maids around you to die in order to gamble, can you?
Thinking of this, she could only force herself to calm down. After cinnamon came in with breakfast, the three masters and servants ate some food without knowing it. When they were waiting impatiently, they heard a creak at the gate of the courtyard, and Zichu quickly ran out.
came a face-to-face old woman. When cinnamon saw her, he reluctantly shouted, "Is it Mother Ma? What's the matter with you?"
"Old slave congratulates the young lady. The mulberry beside the young lady was taken over by the second son last night. The second son sent the old slave to report a good news to the young lady first, and then the mulberry will come back to pack up. Happy event, what a happy event!"
The cinnamon's face changed when he heard the words. He was about to break his waist and curse, but he was held down for the first time.
"Miss, why didn't you scold that woman just now? Are you really afraid of the people over there?"
Zichu shook his head at Guipi and said in a low voice, "Yes, we can scold these people and then make a big deal. But what happens after the big trouble? What about mulberries? How will she live in the future?
"This..." The little pepper's temper of cinnamon obviously has not considered these at all. Calm down and know that what Zichu said is true. So he looked even more sad. After choking for a while, he turned his head and entered his room.
"That's it? At the beginning, this is not like your character!"
Zichu took a look at Jun Yuchen and said to him, "Of course, this matter will not be so, but it's not the time to attack. All right, let's go in!"
Returning to the room, Jun Yuchen began to sort out the silver tickets and some jewelry at hand. Jun Yuchen didn't ask much, but sat quietly and watched her movements.
On the side of Chunhuayuan, Zhu Xiaoyan, with red and swollen eyes and haggard, was putting on makeup in the mirror. When she heard her mother-in-law's words about mulberry, she proudly put down the hairpin in her hand and said leisurely, "This dead girl always wants to fight with me? Bah, she really doesn't even know how to write dead words!"
"Madam, I have just gone to Tsinghuayuan to send a message. Thinking about it, the young lady must be unable to sit still."
"Should! Let's see how I kill her step by step! Little girl, how dare you use my means to deal with me? That's so abominable!"
Zhu Xiaoyan said and remembered another thing. She turned her head and asked, "by the way, where did the master rest last night?"
The woman's face was a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Madam, the master rested at Aunt Gui's last night..."
With a "pop", Zhu Xiaoyan said and got up, gritted her teeth and said, "Aunt Gui, how dare she flatter the master? In the past few months, the master has been hooked to run to her yard once or twice, and he simply doesn't pay attention to me! Go and call this bitch here. I'm going to teach her a lesson!"
"Yes, madam."
The mother-in-law didn't dare to say much and soon took Aunt Gui to Chunhuayuan. Naturally, Zhu Xiaoyan would not be polite to her. She not only punished Aunt Gui for kneeling under the sun for a long time, but also made her kneel and slap herself in the face.
Zichu was anxious to wait in her yard. When it was almost noon, she didn't see the mulberry come back to pack up, and she couldn't sit still. Just as I was about to take someone to look for someone in the outer courtyard, I heard a sound of footsteps outside.
"What happened? Why do you all run to the outer courtyard?
"Miss, don't you know yet? I heard that the mulberry was thrown into the well in the outer courtyard, and now the body is being salvaged!"
With a sound in Zichu's mind, he quickly ran to the outer courtyard. Seeing her coming, the mother-in-law and maid beside Song Siwen were also a little unnatural. The crowd made way. She went straight in and saw a corpse on the ground by the well. Obviously, it had just been fished up, his clothes were soaked, and his hair was messy, and he sprinkled on the ground at will.
Zichu stood in front of the body of the mulberry and knelt straight down, with big tears flowing down. At this moment, she couldn't even think about anything except the endless anger and cold hatred in her heart.
Jun Yuchen was also a little sad to see her so sad. But he has been noble since he was a child. In his consciousness, it is natural for the maidservant to sacrifice his master. Therefore, after Zichu cried for a while, he advised, "Okay, don't be too sad. This man is dead, and you..."
"I won't let the mulberry die in vain! I swear, I swear to God that I will make Song Siwen, an asshole, pay the price!"
Looking at the silted scratches on Mulberry's neck and the terrible scars on her two legs, Zichu was not difficult to imagine what happened to her last night. It seems that Song Siwen is not only a beast, but also an abusive beast!
It's him who killed the mulberry!
Why? She just wanted to plead for herself, but in the end, she took her young life because of herself?
I was thinking about her, but in the end? Zichu hated his indecision at this time. If she could run over and take the mulberry away as soon as she learned the news, what if the world thought the mulberry was an unclean woman from then on? She raised her and sent her far away, so that she would not return her soul to Huangquan now!
Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to slap herself a hundred times! Yes, the person who killed her was Song Siwen, but why not he was an accomplice?
Kneeling on the ground, the first tears surged like a spring. The regret in my heart is as deep as the pain.
He carried the mulberry's body back to Tsinghua courtyard, and Zichu brought hot water with his own hands and carefully wiped every part of her body. Then she tried her best to open the box, found the best set of new clothes, and put them in the mulberry.
After listening to Guipi's words about the second son's usual coveting with the mulberry, Zichu took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and ordered, "Cui, you have a fight with the Mulberry sisters. Here are 3,000 taels of silver tickets here. You can give them to her family for me. Tell her parents that from now on, as long as Song Zichu does not die, their life and death will be buried to me. I will take good care of her family for the mulberry.
The cinnamon took the silver ticket and burst into tears. Zi's original intention was very uncomfortable, but she tried to cheer up. When she heard that Zhu Xiaoyan was taking her anger on Aunt Gui at the other side of Chunhuayuan, a sneer appeared on the corners of her mouth and said to Jun Yuchen, "I'm going out for a while. You wait here."
Jun Yuchen naturally said immediately, "Where are you going? I'm going too!"
"Don't go, I have to trouble you to make up again. Don't worry, I'll come as soon as I go. It'll be all right."
Zichu went to the makeup table and sorted out his makeup in front of the mirror. After drawing on his face, he went to the wardrobe to find a set of women's clothes. Then, she changed her body and became a woman in the courtyard of Mu Entang, holding a stew cup in her hand and swaggering out of the door.
On this side, after punishing Aunt Gui for kneeling for two hours, Zhu Xiaoyan finally watched the person faint, and then ordered someone to send her back.
Aunt Gui naturally couldn't wait to go back to her yard. But she knew that although she still had some face in front of the master, she was disappointing. After entering the door for two or three years, she had not been pregnant with a man and a woman. Naturally, she could not compete with Zhu Xiaoyan.
Seeing Aunt Gui coming back, the maid beside her quickly served her to lie down and rest. He brought up the bowl of soup sent by Zichu and said, "Auntie, this is the tonic soup sent to you by the old lady. Drink it quickly, and the old lady still cares about you!"
"Is it sent by the old lady? Oh, the old lady is really careful. Aunt Gui did not doubt him in her heart, because she was originally a distant niece of the old lady. Her family was in the middle, and there were several brothers and sisters waiting for her to pull her. I was really desperate, so I went to the old lady, a distant aunt.
When I entered the door, I was the master of the old lady and gave my son's aunt. For this matter, Zhu Xiaoyan didn't like her again, but she could only pinch her prestige and dared not do anything to her.
But not long after drinking the soup, she began to feel unbearable pain in her lower abdomen. After a while, the maids heard the sound and lifted the thin quilt and looked at it. They all breathed coldly and said, "Oh, aunt, it's amazing. There's blood everywhere on you!"
"What? How could this happen, my little day..." Aunt Gui is also a smart person after all. Seeing such a situation, thinking about the anger she had suffered from Zhu Xiaoyan before, she turned her eyes and immediately howled, "Ouch! My child, my miserable child! You were killed by those black-hearted people before you had a chance to come to this world!"
The maid beside her also understood Aunt Gui's plan when she saw this. However, this matter is not easy to define. After all, Aunt Gui's childhood has just been delayed for more than ten days. If it is a small birth, it can only be the right time, so she can only agree with her. In addition, someone quickly invited the doctor in.
When Zichu heard the news in Tsinghua, it was almost noisy over there. Aunt Gui, who drank wormwood soup, rolled in pain. After a half-truth and half-false complaint, the doctor who invited had already been connected by Helian Haoran.
After hearing that the doctor also diagnosed that Aunt Gui was really a minor labor, the old lady could no longer sit still. She was tied up by Zhu Xiaoyan, and then called back Song Shi'an, who was busy outside.
After some interrogation, all the evidence pointed to Chunhuayuan. Zhu Xiaoyan hurriedly pleaded loudly, "Ancestor, sir, this is impossible! Aunt Gui can't be pregnant. She must have bought the doctor to frame her concubine! I am wronged!"
