The first Lu Jiu Zhang
"What?" everyone present was shocked.
Walking in the water is not a trivial matter! Jia Min was already in turmoil, and when he heard this, he faintly felt that his brain began to swell.
Mama Li saw that her master's expression was wrong, so she hurriedly stepped forward to read. And Jia Min was supported by her own grandmother, calmed down, Fang asked Yueliu for details, and learned that the suspected fire was far away from here, so her heart was a little calmer, and then immediately ordered Yueliu to find someone to see what was going on.
After Yueliu came back and reported for a while, everyone breathed a sigh of relief - it turned out that it was not the Lin family who walked the water, but the neighbors of the Lin family.
This family is just a small official in Yangzhou, and their friendship with the Lin family is very shallow. This place where the water is taken is very close to the Lin family, and now the fire will inevitably spread to the Lin family, but it is only the Lin family's horse shed, so the impact will not be great.
Jia Min heard Yueliu say that the other party had sent someone over, so he asked, "Did you say that it was because of the water?"
Yueliu replied: "Their family is not very clear, saying that they will come to the door again to apologize after they find out." β
Jia Min nodded. This sudden catastrophe made her feel a little strange in her heart, but she subconsciously felt that this might involve the selfishness of other people's families, and it was not good for outsiders to listen too much. Now I just hope to deal with it as soon as possible so that my own losses are not so big. Thinking about it, Jia Min then instructed Yueliu to send a message to the housekeeper, and ordered him to arrange firefighting, and finally said:
"In the end, if the other party needs to bring up anything, our family will try to help one or two. β
Yueliu answered, and went out to spread the word without mentioning it.
And Ding Qiuyao, who watched this qiΔ, became inexplicably anxious in his heart.
...... What does this barn have to do with the fire in the barn? and it should just be ...... Coincidence, right?
Ding Qiuyao secretly thought that she shouldn't think too much, and when she saw that Jia Min had arranged things one by one, she couldn't help but ask:
"Madam, what about Zhilan?"
"I have my own arrangements for this matter-" Jia Min glanced at Ding Qiuyao and said, "To tell the truth, what you said today is all your one-sided words...... It's not that I want to help my own marriage, but everything, after all, I have to have a real evidence, and it's not good for me to lock people up and try them casually just because of your words...... In this way, Aunt Ding, do you understand?"
Faced with Jia Min's rare explanation, or rather, Ding Qiuyao naturally lowered her head and understood.
Ding Qiuyao knew before she came that she would never be able to move her wife to act immediately. Her goal today was to get her wife's attention.
As long as the wife pays attention, she will definitely take care of the detailed investigation, and with the energy of the wife, she will not worry about not being able to find Zhilan's feet-that is, the wife is not good, and there is no master?--Later, maybe there will be a chance to catch the current situation!
...... It's just that why did she feel more and more uneasy when she got his wife's permission?
And Jia Min was suddenly a little restless. She glanced out of the door and said to Mama Li: "Although it is far away, I can't burn here, but I still feel a little panicked......
Mama Li comforted her, but Jia Min still couldn't calm down. The latter pressed his hand to his chest and said, "Just thinking about it, you know that there must be a mess over there at this moment...... By the way, didn't Brother Chen run to the small study again? I don't know if I saw the black smoke or was I scared?...... No, I still have to call my brother back quickly. β
Jia Min, who was uneasy, hurriedly asked someone to look for it.
Unexpectedly, the eldest girl Yuemian, who was supposed to serve her son, didn't see her baby son, but brought back a message that almost scared Jia Min out of breath:
"-What?reads;!The brother and the nurse are gone?!!!
"Mrs., Mrs.β"
Seeing that Jia Min almost fell, all the maids who served Lin Xuan knelt down and trembled. And Mama Li was busy patting her master on the back, and Mama Sun pointed to the leading Yuemian and said angrily:
"You hoof, what nonsense are you talking about 'gone' bastard! How could two big living people, who are so good at home, be gone?! Why don't you hurry up and make your words clear, and be careful of your skin!"
Yuemian heard Grandma Sun's words, and hurriedly poured out the matter-
However, Lin Xuan has been clamoring to go to the small study every now and then, and if the Lin family and his wife don't stop him, the subordinates naturally have to follow suit. Today, as usual, Mama Wang hugged Lin Xuan and took seven or eight maids to the small study, but when she passed by the rockery, she actually met someone inside whispering, as if she was saying bad things about Lin Xuan again.
Yuemian was already a temper tantrum, but it was good that he didn't see it, but when he met him, he was willing to swallow this breath?
The maid beside her also echoed the enemy.
Probably thinking that he was in his own house, there was no danger, and Lin Xuan, the only master present, did not object.
These bold maids got Lin Xuan's approval, so they left Lin Xuan and Mama Wang in their place, and scattered one by one to go into the rockery to catch people.
- Speaking of this, Yuemian was already crying with fear, and she whimpered and said:
β...... With so many people going in, how could I have thought that in the end, people would still be able to hide...... The slave and maid returned to their places with the others, but they didn't see the uncle and Mama Wang...... The slave and the slave thought that the uncle was impatient to wait, so she asked the grandmother to go to the study first. I didn't expect it, woo, I didn't expect to go over there but I couldn't find anyone, and the mother-in-law who swept the study also said that I didn't see it...... Woo, slave maid...... The slave maid thought that yes, yes, the uncle went to play elsewhere, so she continued to look around, and everyone who could see it said that she didn't see the uncle and Mama Wang......"
As he spoke, Yuemian knocked her head three times and knelt on the ground crying silently.
ββI also know that if Jia Min doesn't suddenly call someone, I'm afraid that these bold maids are still looking everywhere in a panic.
Mama Li said in a low voice: "Mrs. Don't panic, I'm afraid that the uncle is naughty, pointing at the nurse and walking around, and accidentally walking to some remote places - after all, it is at home, and it can't be lost." β
Jia Min, who finally relieved his breath, also thought the same. But she couldn't see her baby son for a moment, and her heart couldn't be at peace for a moment.
However, Jia Min, who was about to arrange for someone to find his son, suddenly thought of something, and his face turned white with shock: Could it be that the fire that inexplicably burned the horse shed at home today is related to Brother Chen'er's sudden disappearance?
-- The claim that the two are related is unfounded. But no matter how Jia Min refuted it in his heart, he still couldn't help but think so.
And the more he thought about it, the more Jia Min looked at it.
The people around looked at Jia Min like this, and they called "Mrs., Mrs. " one after another.
Jia Min trembled, she grabbed the arm of Grandma Li, took a deep breath, as if she had made some decision, and said, "Hurry, send someone to the yamen to find the master!"
- Jia Min felt that her mind was already confused with fear at this time, and she didn't know what to do, so she could only hope for her husband.
No matter what the husband thinks and arranges when he hears the things at home, he must always read better than himself at the moment.
"Just tell the master, the eldest young master is missing at home, and how the horse shed at home runs the water!" Jia Min in the spirit of "I'd rather believe what he has", after a pause, he ordered again, "Then go to the front to tell SΓΉ Lin Xin, and say that it is my order! No one is allowed to go out! Those who have already gone out will ask me where they have gone and what they are carrying! If there is anything suspicious, lock me up!!
Seeing this, Li and Sun's grandmothers invariably felt that their young lady was making a little "fuss". But they thought that it was about the eldest young master, and it was normal for the young lady to lose her calm, and they only hoped that the aunt would know this, not to mention rushing back immediately so that the young lady would have a backbone, and it would be good to bring back a few words of comfort to make the young lady feel at ease.
After thinking about it, Li and Sun looked at each other. Then Mama Sun ignored the maid who knelt on the ground, raised her feet and walked out to complete Jia Min's instructions.
Ding Qiuyao, who was also present at this time, did not look much better than Jia Min.
Unlike Jia Min, when Ding Qiuyao heard that Lin Xuan was gone, the first thing that came to mind was Zhilan's quiet smile!
...... said that she wanted to deal with his wife, but in fact, Zhilan's initial target was the eldest son of the Lin family, right?
...... That's why she seems so sure! That's why she's not afraid of her betrayal at all! That's why the little medicine bottle she gave her was filled with only green, beans, and powder!
Hit the trick!
Hit the count!!
Ding Qiuyao thought about it, panting with anger.
No, the more this happens, the more she must be calm! Ding Qiuyao forced herself to calm down and tried to think about what else she could do in the current situation.
Speaking of which, there is no trust between her and Zhilan at all, and it is not surprising that she was put on the other party at this time.
In her opinion, Zhilan must know the fate of taking away the uncle, and she must also know that it is impossible to abduct such an older child from the inner courtyard of the Lin family without leaving a trace - it is purely a matter of time before the wife finds out about it.
Not to mention, when the wife finds out Zhilan, no matter whether the uncle is safe or not, in the end, all the people related to Zhilan must have no good end!
...... It seems that Zhilan is afraid that she will give up her life this time.
Then, since Zhilan's purpose is not to deal with his wife, and her plan for the uncle is so thorough, why do she have to find her in one fell swoop?
For what?
Did you want to drag her into the water?
It's ridiculous, this matter has nothing to do with her from beginning to end, how can it involve her......
No, that's not right! Just because she said to his wife in such a vague way that Zhilan "has a problem" is enough to make people think deeply!
Although I don't know if Zhilan has it or what kind of backhand she left, if she asks her wife to find out, Zhilan secretly looked for her more than ten days ago, not a few days before she said......
She couldn't argue with this alone! If there were anything else, the result would be unimaginable!
ββIn other words, this is a bureau set up by Zhilan specifically for her Ding Qiuyao?!
