Chapter 125: One out after another
Just came back from Qiuyun Hall, and Mrs. Xiao leaned back on the soft couch tiredly.
The back and forth in my mind is the beginning and end of Xiao Shuangshuang's incident.
How did she know?
"Has the third lady been here for a while?"
This time, she often discussed the details with Second Lady Xiao, and inevitably said a little about the Earl's Palace, could she have listened to it so coincidentally?
Mama Dong stepped forward with an uncertain expression, "The old slave just asked, the night before yesterday, the third lady came alone." β
Really.
"Alone? without a maid?"
"I didn't bring it. β
The old lady's face sank, "Since the third lady is here, why don't you report it?"
Cui'er said that when she saw the third lady coming, no one paid attention, she came in quietly, and later, when she was about to leave, she saw her. Cui'er thought she had just come and was going to inform her, but the third lady said no, it wasn't a big deal, it was getting late, and she would come back tomorrow. β
After Mama Dong finished speaking, she glanced up at the old lady slightly.
"Cui'er is not doing well, the old slave just ordered someone to punish her with twenty lashes. β
Just that coincidentally?
Old Madam Xiao was a little sullen with anger.
"How do you take care of this pine and cypress courtyard? No one saw such a big person come in? If this bud comes in and listens, it won't be completely ruined!"
Mama Dong knelt down with a thud.
"Yes, the old slave knew that he was wrong, that night, you whispered to the second lady and let the girls go down, who knew that the third lady was called in, and the old slave had already punished himself with ten whips, but the old slave knew that this matter was very important, and asked the old lady to punish it again. β
The old woman was prostrate on the ground, her back trembling slightly.
Old Madam Xiao was dumbfounded.
That night, it was her order to let everyone go down, and the secret of the Earl's Palace was that the fewer people who knew it, the better, so naturally the girls couldn't listen to it, who knew how Xiao Shuangshuang came in by himself.
In the final analysis, Mama Dong's responsibility is not great, and she has punished herself heavily, so the old lady can't say anything.
"Who is the girl who guards the door that night? Why did you go if you didn't look at the door well?"
"It's Cui'er, it's time for her to relieve herself, and the third lady will come in by herself. Cui'er said that she had the door bolt on it, and she didn't know how the third lady opened the door. β
"Hmph! The responsibility is pushed clean! She's an eldest lady, how can she open the door from the outside?"
The old lady's face flashed with cruelty, "You punished her lightly! β
Mama Dong responded in a muffled voice.
"What are you doing here at night?"
Mama Dong still knelt on the ground and said softly: "After all, it is a matter in the courtyard of the eldest lady, and the old slave didn't dare to investigate it openly, so he inquired privately." The people in the courtyard of the third miss said that the third lady roared in the courtyard at that time, but it revealed a bit of meaning. β
The old lady's eyelids jumped, "What did she say?"
"The third lady said: Such a good family, grandmother would rather say it to that country girl than to me, but I want to ask grandmother what she means?"
Not surprisingly, she was referring to the Earl's Court.
The Earl's Mansion is indeed a high family, if it weren't for the third young master who came out of the house with that problem, no matter how you look at it, it would be a family affair that the door can't climb.
Xiao Shuangshuang didn't know what was going on, and it was normal for his eyes to be red and hot.
Who knows, I heard a big secret from my grandmother.
She has always covered the family affairs of the Earl's Court, who chewed the root of her tongue in front of her?
"Old lady, although the third lady looks like she has taken an overdose of Wushisan, but in the end, Wushisan will make people hot and sweaty, and the third miss is crazy in the morning, and even the eldest lady is insulted, like that, it's likeββ"
The old lady hesitated for a moment, but continued, "It's like someone lowered her head." β
Old Madam Xiao didn't speak.
She also has some doubts, although Xiao Shuangshuang is domineering, it is still a little unreasonable to say that she directly insults her mother.
"At that time, Dr. Wei was by her side, do you think he did it?"
Mama Dong thought for a while, "The old woman later went to check the tea and cups at that time, and there was no problem. If it was Dr. Wei, then how did he do it? The maids present all said that at that time, he was scolded by the third lady for a few words, so he sat with a cold face and did not move. Looking at it that way, it's not like it. β
The old lady couldn't figure out how Xiao Shuangshuang was controlled.
"Besides, old lady, Doctor Wei has never had any dealings with our Xiao family in the past, and he has no grievances with the third miss, why did he want to deal with the third miss?"
"For the sake of the buds?"
The old lady pondered and pondered, but Yaya was always a link that could not be avoided, and she always felt that Wei Wangchu had an unusual attitude towards her.
Mama Dong shook her head, "If Dr. Wei refuses to treat the third and fourth young ladies for the sake of the buds, the old slave thinks that it makes sense, and it is not a deep hatred, but it is just a few words of bickering words from the girls, and they can't commit such a ruthless hand." β
Old Madam Xiao stopped talking for a moment.
It's only a matter of the past few days that the Earl's Mansion wants to marry the Xiao family, and few people in the Xiao family know about it, let alone know the inside story, even the second lady Xiao doesn't know anything about it.
Before Xiao Shuangshuang went crazy, there were no more than 5 people who knew that the Xiao family planned to use the buds to marry the Earl's Mansion, and even the Earl's Mansion didn't know which girl the Xiao family would give them.
She believed that Wei Wangchu must have only known about it after Xiao Shuangshuang went crazy.
If it is really Wei Wangchu who came out for the buds, the ** of several girls' families, he really can't be so ruthless to a 14-year-old girl, and he is not a madman.
Xiao Shuangshuang's madness is a mystery in her eyes.
She and Mama Dong are both a little familiar with medical skills, since Mama Dong said that tea and cups are fine, what tricks did they hit?
A long sigh.
"Get up, you old thing, you beat yourself so much, you can stand it? β
Mama Dong wiped her tears and got up from the ground with difficulty.
"If there is no such thing as the third lady going crazy later, it will be fine, but the third lady is crazy, so she shouts out the matter, and the old slave is afraid that she will ruin your big thing. β
Old Madam Xiao waved her hand, "If Yaya has nothing to do with Dr. Wei, this is easy to do, she is a countryman after all, easy to coax, Ming'er called her to come, coax well." β
"Alas, I'm afraid that Dr. Wei and Yaya have something to do with it. β
"You don't believe what the second young master said?"
The old lady thought about Xiao Wu's appearance and shook her head, "Wu'er is coarse-hearted, there are some things that I don't understand, let's look at it, prepare with both hands, coax the buds first, and find an opportunity to mention the wealth of the Earl's Mansion to see how she reacts." β
Mama Dong lowered her hand and said: "Yaya is from the countryside, I'm afraid I don't know what kind of wealth the Earl's Mansion is." β
Speaking of which, the annex of the Earl's Mansion is still in our town, and the third young master heard that he has been living in the courtyard. β
"You have a point. β
The old lady nodded, and before she could say anything, she heard the voices of Xiao Miao'er and Xiao Xiang'er trembling slightly from the gate of the courtyard.
"Grandmother?"
A girl hurriedly knocked on the door, "Old lady, the second and fourth ladies are here." β
"What are they doing here?"
The old lady's tone was a little impatient.
The maid outside added: "Old lady, the second and fourth young ladies are crying. β
Crying?
Old Madam Xiao sighed, there are many children and grandchildren, there are many things.
Mama Dong retreated behind her and whispered, "Call them in." β
As soon as Xiao Miao'er and Xiao Xiang'er entered the door, they knelt down with a plop, crying hoarsely.
Only then did the old lady see the two sisters clearly.
The rash on Xiao Miao'er's face has almost completely disappeared, her pretty face is miserable and white, and the crying pear blossoms bring rain, which is very cute.
Xiao Xiang'er's face was slightly red and swollen, and the rash was already red and connected into a large patch, which looked a little terrifying. I don't know if it's crying or a rash, a pair of eyes are swollen into swollen blisters, and the nose is round, looking extremely ugly.
"What are you crying about? β
Coupled with Xiao Shuangshuang's matter, the three girls in the family are not worry-free, and the old lady is very upset, and she didn't play the drama of grandparents and grandchildren, so she shouted loudly.
Sister Xiao Miao'er immediately stopped crying, and looked at her always loving grandmother with a pair of eyes with a slight panic.
"Grandmother, mother. β
Xiao Miao'er was frightened by Old Madam Xiao's gloomy expression, hesitated, and slowly spoke.
"I, my father, crazy, in, in the hall, guarding my mother's face, face, and, and, and aunt, aunt," the little girl's face suddenly turned red, and she didn't know how to express it.
Xiao Xiang'er wiped her tears, "Grandmother, my father made Guo Lun's gift to my aunt in front of my mother, and also looked at our sisters viciously, as if she was going to eat us, but my mother hugged him and told our sisters to escape." β
A ten-year-old girl didn't quite understand what Guo Lun's gift was, so she said it without shame.
It's just that there is too much information, and Old Madam Xiao's brain doesn't seem to be enough.
I was stunned.
Second Master Xiao is also crazy?
Xiao Erye has an easy-going personality since he was a child, he rarely loses his temper, and the relationship with the second lady, although it is not as happy as Uncle Xiao and the eldest lady, can be regarded as respectful of each other, how is this?
Xiao Miao'er knelt down with a thud and said, "Grandmother, my father still beat my mother, half of her face was red and swollen, very pitiful, please, please go and save her!"
This not only made love with other women in front of his wife, but also punched and kicked her?
Xiao Erye, which one is this singing?
The old lady asked gloomily, "Did you see that?"
Xiao Miao'er nodded, "Yes, Xiang'er and I originally went to beg my mother to find Yaya and talk to Dr. Wei and let him treat Xiang'er's face, who knows, who, Daddy has never been so scary, woo woo." β
The girl thought of the fragrant and weird picture, and couldn't help but cover her face and cry.
Xiao Xiang'er also pounced and knelt down, "Grandmother, please find Dr. Wei to show me your face, people who itch can't stand it!
The little girl was prostrate on her grandmother's lap and subconsciously rubbed the rash on her forehead with her legs.
"Kneel down!"
The old lady snorted.
Xiao Xiang'er immediately knelt up straight and looked at her grandmother timidly.
"Why didn't Dr. Wei treat you and Shuangshuang, do you understand the reason?"
Xiao Xiang'er wiped her tears, held back her tears, and said, "I understand, my granddaughter shouldn't say bad things about Yaya." β
"Understood, go to Yaya to apologize! Kneel here, and Dr. Wei will treat you?"
The old lady's expression was a little hideous.
Xiao Xiang'er was frightened and looked at her grandmother blankly.
"Go! If you can't cure the rash on your face today, don't come back. β
The old lady's voice was stern and unmistakable.
Xiao Xiang'er subconsciously responded, "Yes, grandmother." β
Xiao Miao'er slammed her forehead on the ground and said tremblingly: "Grandmother, I went with Xiang'er to apologize to Yaya, please go and save my mother." β
The old lady nodded tiredly, "Go ahead, I'll take a look at your mother's place." β
