Chapter 354 Hidden murder, the truth will be revealed
In June, the six-year celebration, the sun's head suddenly refreshed, sweeping the softness of May, burning like fire, making the world golden.
Some people who can't stand the heat can't help but begin to be irritable. There are often quarrels between the cities for a little thing to rub their shoulders and feet, that is, the servants of the high house and deep courtyard, and the friction gradually increases.
It was a quiet afternoon in the Duke of Wei. There were several servants who occasionally rested in the corridor, and they looked very tired.
But I suddenly heard two domineering scolding.
The servants suddenly came to their senses and followed the sound to watch, but they saw two women arguing under the shade of a tree.
This was originally the place where servants and women should go in and out of the back house. The courtyard is not big. There are some maids who are responsible for sweeping, and next to them are raccoon clothes. The masters generally don't get involved.
But one of the particularly loud women is Aunt Zhang, the "half master" of the state government.
She came to see her sister-in-law today.
Auntie can't meet relatives at will, that is, someone comes to the door, and she needs to obtain the permission of the mistress. Huang is not a strict person and does not prevent Aunt Zhang from meeting guests, but Sister-in-law Zhang is not a guest of the government. She can't enter the room. She can only go through the back door of the Duke's government that allows her servants to enter and see Aunt Zhang in the flower hall set up by the door. See you last time.
Aunt Zhang asked her brother for money. Her sister-in-law came to hand it over. She was in a good mood, but when she walked through the courtyard, she saw the warbler.
Song Sha's couple came back from Zhuangzi early and did not enter the consul. They only led a steward's job outside and was responsible for a shop in Huang's dowry.
Yingsheng came back with some chores and was preparing to leave the house.
Seeing Aunt Zhang coming face to face, she turned a blind eye, which made Aunt Zhang very angry. Yingsheng turned out to be a maid of the scenery, and Aunt Zhang also recognized it. Of course, she knew that she was Mother Song's daughter-in-law now, but Mother Song had lost power, and Songfu was no longer the general manager. Aunt Zhang didn't pay attention to the family at all.
Seeing the warbler passing in front of her with her head held high and chest, there was no humility. Aunt Zhang, who became a habit of domineering, couldn't stand it. Pulling the warbler's voice was a broken curse, forcing her to kneel on the ground and kowtow, otherwise she would slap her with the crime of "disrespect".
The warbler sneered: "You are an aunt, and you are a serious master, and you don't pee on your face."
"The shameless fox Meizi climbed a slave's bed and dared to show off his power?" Aunt Zhang slapped, but was gently and skillfully avoided by the sound of the warblers. Seeing that several servants had been surrounded far away, she sneered: "Sooner or later, I will make you kneel in front of me and plead for today's offense."
Unexpectedly, he went away.
Aunt Zhang's eyes widened, but because she wanted to talk about "private affairs" with her sister-in-law. Today, she didn't even bring a maid, and she didn't have a helper. She felt that she had lost her status by chasing a slave maidservant. She took a phlegm on the ground and cursed and left.
And the onlookers were stunned by the arrogant words of Yingsheng. Of course, no one could figure out the meaning of Yingsheng's words. They all thought that the mother and son of the Song family had joined the heart of the Duke's wife again. I'm afraid there was a chance to turn over.
This word soon reached Mother Song's ears, which shocked her!
Of course, she knew the purpose of Yingsheng's words, and she regarded herself as the fourth lady of the government. How could she pay attention to an aunt?
Mother Song's eyes at her daughter-in-law became more and more gloomy.
After Huang heard about this, she was also very dissatisfied. She specially invited Mother Song to enter the house and avoided other people's warnings.
"Mama also knows that the old lady is not as good as you used to be, and she is very afraid of it at present. Although I have promised Song and his wife to return to Beijing, you also have to restrain yourself. Things in the future will be important, which is of no good for you."
Mother Song was ashamed and said that she was careless and would definitely warn Yingsheng to be cautious.
Huang asked about the progress of the winter rain.
Although Dongyu has the permission of the beautiful scenery and can freely enter and exit Guan Suiyuan, but he can't leave the house without permission. After all, he is a "newcomer". How dares to blatantly buy the slaves and maidservants of the King of Chu's mansion to send a message for her. Therefore, Mother Song has not received any news about Dongyu at present.
Huang Shi muttered slightly: "I know that you originally planned to make Dongyu your concubine."
Mother Song's heart tightened.
"Only this matter needs to be seen. If you have contact with Dongyu, don't let her be impatient. Don't rush to pay attention to the past at this time. It's a bad thing. Seeing that January is about to pass, Jing is not a person who is confined to the back house. When she goes out, she may have a chance to communicate with the winter rain. Please pay attention to it. Huang's instructions.
It happened that this day, because Mother Lan was greedy and used too many melons and fruits, and got up early to have a stomachache. Huang had to let her go out for medical treatment and give her two days of leave. However, many of the maids around her were not trusted by Huang. They did not let them stay outside the door. She only told Bai Lu to stay in the porch and not to let people go to the house. Break in.
The weather is hot, and people are prone to sleepiness. The corridor is relatively cool. Bai Lu feels more and more tired when sitting. She leans on the porch pillar and feels confused.
However, Aunt Zhang "done back" today. After taking a nap, she wanted to come to Huang to greet her.
When I arrived at the main hall and didn't see anyone, I felt strange, so I didn't suddenly lift the curtain into the room, turned back, woke up the white dew in the porch, and asked her to spread it.
Aunt Zhang's sudden visit naturally caused Huang's surprise.
But he quietly sent Mother Song away, and made a few words in harmony with Aunt Zhang's wife and concubine to send her away.
I just asked Bai Lu when Aunt Zhang came in.
Bai Lu did not dare to hide the fact that she was "doing" and said that she did not notice that she was awakened by Aunt Zhang.
Huang was more and more uncertain whether Aunt Zhang had heard her talk with Mother Song, and there was a cold dark light in her eyes.
The winter rain, which was unforgettable by Huang's family, was playing a "beauty trick" at this time, and the target was the gray ferry of the warrior who was full of black and cold.
That day, "I accidentally fell down". Huidu helped each other, so that Dongyu could see a fact that people really couldn't look good. The surface of the clear sky was as approachable, but it was as cold as frost, and it was not easy to be encircled. However, the hard guard on the surface knew how to pity jade.
So Dongyu took some money, bought a skillful maid, made her embroider a pair of insoles, and inquired that Huidu was in the outer court, so he looked for her gracefully, handed over "a heart" shyly and timidly, and thanked Huidu for his righteous help.
There was no response. The winter rain raised his eyes, but he was facing the two cold eyes of Huidu, like a sharp arrow.
The winter rain was shocked and subconsciously took a step back.
Coincidentally, at this time, the mother-in-law of the porter came forward and asked Dongyu to come in and make a sound. Please see the concubine's companion room Sanshun.
When Dongyu saw that Huidu did not mean to accept her heart with a smile, she had to sigh and go far away before reaching out and stroked her cheeks - she thought she was outstanding. In Guan Suiyuan, only the imperial concubine was slightly better, and Erlang praised her for her beauty. Why did the two cronies in front of the prince turn a blind eye? Dongyu girl is very depressed.
Naturally, Dongyu didn't know. As soon as she turned around, Huidu went to find the clear sky, picked up the person who was lying on the table and took a nap. He opened his mouth and said, "It's really a beauty trick. Should I report it to the concubine?"
The clear sky was sleepy, and it was cute for a long time before he was slightly awake. He asked carefully and curled his lips disdainfully: "Do you still need to report it? The princess knows very well in her heart.
Today, the son Xiu Mu is now game with the princess under the window.
A game of chess has been deadlocked for half an hour.
Qiu Yue and Qiu Shuang stayed outside the corridor and was chatting with Aunt Li. Because of her back, she did not notice the winter rain approaching for a while.
The winter rain glanced at them and raised their feet to enter the main hall.
However, the two smart Aunt Li couldn't hide their ears and eyesight, and they shouted at the same time.
Dongyu's foot has entered the threshold and was shocked, so he had to take it back awkwardly: "Sanshun came in. I want to see the concubine of the world. Seeing that you are talking, I want to go inside."
Qiu Yue snorted coldly: "Have you forgotten the rules of your respective duties? You can go in and out of the main room at will!"
Dongyu's heart was bleeding with hatred, but there was a respectful look on his face: "It was my negligence."
Qiu Shuang persuaded Qiu Yue: "Don't argue with her. Sanshun came to think that there is something important, or he should give it to his master."
The winter rain was hung outside the door, his little face blushed for a while, and his palms were squeezed tightly. For a moment, the scenery and autumn moon came out, and he ignored the winter rain and went straight down the stairs.
Dongyu still wanted to get close to the softer and gentle autumn frost, but suddenly saw the son come out. Qiu Shuang immediately greeted the salute. Of course, Dongyu followed closely, but the two little Aunt Li stood aside, but stood up and did not come forward.
Yu Yu glanced at the winter rain and went to a circle chair set up in the porch before moving the pot on the tea case. Qiu Shuang immediately agreed and asked, "Do you want to cook tea?" But do you need to use the spring that was sent before?
After being signaled, Qiu Shuang called a little maid over and told her to go to the tea room to send the spring water.
Dongyu had the intention to test and whispered to Qiu Shuang, "This little girl is irritable. I'd better go there."
Qiu Shuang squeezed her lips, but stopped it kindly: "Just go to answer, the tea room is also across the courtyard, and people are not let people go in and out at will, and the water is also sent by someone."
Is it really so tight? Winter rain is heavy in my heart.
The tea room and the kitchen are in the same place. In addition to the steward and maid in it, only spring, summer and autumn can go in and out, that is, the bells, curtain rolls and Xifeng are not qualified at present. When Dongyu heard the ribs, he was still skeptical. At this time, he was determined here in Qiushuang, and he couldn't help but be even more anxious.
I wanted to poison food and tea, but I didn't have a chance.
The winter rain secretly noticed that a urn spring was held by Mother Xie herself, and the more he knew that there was no chance to take advantage of the gap.
He also said the beauty, talked with Sanshun for a moment, and then went back to the atrium. When he saw Yu Yu, who happened to cook two clear tea soups, sat down rudely. After tasting tea, he went back to the study.
Yu Yu leaned back and said with a smile, "I just saw Dongyu's face full of sadness. I was very unwilling to think that I didn't have a chance to do it. After all, it's not as good as her grandmother's city, and my emotions are all on my face."
Jingwei frowned: "At present, it's not before the time to remove her. I intended to let her understand that the opportunity is rare, and then she won't let it go until she gets a chance."
At this time, Yu Yu had already known about Wansi, and also knew that Meijing was asking Sanshun to touch Li Jihe. At this time, he saw that Yijing's eyebrows were a little solemn, so he asked what Sanshun had noticed.
"Gun grandma Zhang is indeed a little strange. Sanshun finally found out that she was surnamed Yin! Zhang is her husband's surname, so everyone calls her Grandma Zhang, and she used to be a stable mother-in-law for a period of time. Later, she suffered from eye disease, so she could not make a living from it. She should be the person Mr. Li is looking for, but I don't know why this grandma denies this matter. Ying shook his head: "I asked Sanshun not to startle the snake first."
Yu Yu pondered slightly and suddenly asked, "I remember you once said that the stable mother-in-law who gave birth to Wansi was also surnamed Zhang?"
Ying nod his head: "A Weng once found the place where the stable woman lived, and the owner of the house also said that someone asked her about Zhang's whereabouts, but if that person is Mr. Li, why is he looking for a stable woman surnamed Yin?"
"You must have told Sanshun to find the owner of the house to confirm." Yu Yu said again.
The next day, Sanshun replied again--
This time, because he asked carefully, the owner also answered clearly. Sure enough, the people who inquired about Zhang's family first said that they were looking for a stable woman surnamed Yin, but the owner didn't care. She just wanted those silver and wanted someone to make it clear. She asked about the stable woman who used to live here, no matter what her surname was, and agreed first.
Coincidentally, the owner of the house really met Grandma Zhang in Xiaodong City and asked someone about her residence. When the descendant came back, he told him.
There is no doubt that Li Jihe must be inquire about the person who gave birth to Wansi, and this person should be Grandma Zhang.
Yi Jing immediately asked Sanshun to bring a message to Su Zhi, and asked him to find Qi, who was asked by Mother Song to take care of Wansi, and asked Qi if she still had any impression of Grandma Zhang and who else had anything to do with Wansi.
Yi Jing guessed that if the person Li Ji and his mother Luo Shi often went to see in those years was really Wansi, then Qi might have seen Luo Shi.
Another day later, Sanshun returned to Guan Suiyuan to reply, which brought a very shocking news and gradually clarified the context of the secret event of that year.
