Chapter 17

Ding Qiuyao, who figured it out and had a plan in her heart, began to have the leisure to think about something else.

- For example, why did Zhilan plot to murder her wife?

Mrs. had four wedding maids back then, Zhiwei, Zhifei, Zhiyun and Zhilan, if Ding Qiuyao was the most familiar, it was naturally Zhiwei.

But before opening her face, she had dealt with the other three to some extent.

Zhiwei, Zhifei and Zhiyun, these three are all born to the Jia family, but Zhilan was bought from outside; Zhiwei doesn't say it, Zhifei is quiet and gentle, while Zhiyun is clever and sweet-mouthed; Zhilan has always been clumsy.

In the back, except for Zhiwei, the others are equipped with the stewards of the Lin family.

In addition, Zhiyun has the thickest background among the children in the family, and her parents and brothers are all used by his wife, and this is also the most favored by his wife.

Judging from the color, Zhiwei and Zhilan are obviously prepared by the Jia family for the master. Qiu Yao said that Zhilan's appearance is actually better than Zhiwei.

In other words, when the wife intended to raise her aunt, most people were more optimistic about Zhilan.

However, the wife chose Zhiwei in the end, just like the old lady chose her, which was a little unexpected.

- Yes, the eldest girl, who is also the master, was proud that the "Qiu Peng" was better than her color, and regarded herself as a future aunt in front of the little maid all day long. The wife was more wary of him.

Now?

- But Ding Qiuyao has to admit that if his wife chooses Zhilan, I'm afraid that the current situation in the backyard of the Lin family will not be so simple.

...... Could it be that this Zhilan's "motive" for many years of evil intentions is because?

Ding Qiuyao combined all kinds of information and gave birth to a vague idea in her heart. She raised her hand to tuck the corner of her daughter's quilt, and a somewhat playful smile appeared on her lips.

...... Even if it is "so", what can we do now? At most, it is just a loss for nothing.

Why bother?

People, you have to learn, "accept fate"!

- Don't mention how Ding Qiuyao ridiculed in her heart, she only said that her fake model dragged on for three days before she quietly agreed to Zhilan.

The next development was as Ding Qiuyao had predicted, and it was very difficult to collect enough evidence to "bite" Zhilan.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that Na Zhilan is suspicious of her and deliberately wary of her or something. After all, it was his wife's life that she had to plan this time, which had to be concealed in every possible way; besides, she had lived in the inner courtyard for a long time, and her relatives were few and useless, and she was afraid that her wife would think too much, so she naturally did not dare to put her hand in the outer courtyard.

Therefore, it took a lot of effort for Ding Qiuyao to find out a number of people in the outer courtyard who often had contact with Zhilan, but he still couldn't confirm that any of these people had contact with Zhilan for the outside.

- That's not going to work...... Ding Qiuyao, who had been stumbling for more than ten days but had not gained much, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot for a while, and even faintly felt a little withdrawn.

However, before Ding Qiuyao made up her mind, in the middle of the night on the first day of the fifth month, Zhilan, who had not shown her face for a long time, once again avoided everyone and came to Mushuang Courtyard.

Ding Qiuyao led people into the small Buddha hall as usual. After the two sat down, Zhilan didn't say anything superfluous, and handed a small white medicine bottle to Ding Qiuyao.

Ding Qiuyao took the medicine bottle - what kind of medicine is this? Chronic and intense? It seems that the weight is not light in his hand. Thinking so, she asked:

“...... This is?"

"It's all powder. Zhilan, who was smiling quietly, said, "Please do it moderately, auntie." ”

Ding Qiuyao raised her eyebrows and said in her heart: In this way, this is the powder of chronic medicine. She was asking anything more, and saw that Zhilan had already half-lowered her head and said something "not suitable to stay for a long time" - obviously she didn't want her to ask more.

Ding Qiuyao was helpless, so she had to let people leave.

When Ding Qiuyao was left alone in the small Buddha hall, she unconsciously clenched the medicine bottle in her hand.

...... Of course, she couldn't really take the drug, she hadn't thought about dealing with his wife, so the horizontal and vertical medicine was a chronic medicine, and it couldn't work for a while, so why don't you perfunctory Zhilan's side first, so as to gain more time to continue collecting evidence?

But when will it be delayed? Will enough evidence really be gathered by then? What if something unexpected happens in the middle that is difficult to deal with?

After thinking about it, Ding Qiuyao finally felt that Yi Zhilan's caution could not be found with her ability, and this bottle of medicinal powder was barely enough to convince his wife.

She forcibly suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and decided to go to her wife tomorrow to make this clear!

Don't mention how Ding Qiuyao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night.

But said that Ding Qiuyao, who got up early in the compartment over there, dressed up, and counted the time when she walked to Jia Min's courtyard with her daughter and medicinal powder, Zhilan in this compartment, as if she didn't know that someone was going to sue her, hugged a child in a peach-colored skirt and walked out slowly.

However, before she could take two steps, Zhilan was stopped.

"Luo Dasheng's family, where is this going?" opened her mouth to a thin woman with sharp beak and monkey cheeks. She stood in her yard, holding the door frame in one hand and a handful of edamame in the other, looking Zhilan up and down with very unkind eyes, as if she wanted to see some flowers from the latter.

"Yu, Yu's sister-in-law. Zhilan glanced at the other party and took her gaze back. She seemed a little scared, and said with a cower, "A few days after my Xiaocao's illness was cured, I was clamoring to see her godmother...... It's the Dragon Boat Festival in two days, and there's nothing to do today, so I said to take Xiaocao for a walk......"

"Oh—" The woman who was called her sister-in-law replied with a long voice.

- Zhilan's daughter Luo Xiaocao's godmother, which is also known to her sister-in-law. It was a fire girl who signed a living contract in the kitchen in the past, and she was good friends with Zhilan. The other party redeemed himself and married two years ago, and it is estimated that he was reluctant to give up the wealth of the Lin family after he went out, so he deliberately put a house in the back to get clean!

Sister-in-law Yu pursed her lips disdainfully, and strode out of her yard. She didn't care if Zhilan would be in a hurry or something, and her body like a firewood stick stood in front of the other party, opened her mouth and said there:

"If you want me to say, Xiaocao Ganniang doesn't know where the money came from, not only can she redeem herself, but she still has room to buy a house in the back......"

This is a long list of words with guns and sticks in the sister-in-law's words without panting reads;. finally said that it was enough for Zhilan's daughter's godmother, and then found other stubble. She deliberately said:

"I said what's wrong with Xiaocao, the elders are in front of you, it's been so long, don't you know how to call people?!"

When Zhilan heard this, she hurriedly patted her daughter's back and whispered to the latter to call someone.

It's a pity that Luo Xiaocao didn't listen, she just shook her head very slightly, and continued to bury it in Zhilan's neck, not snorting and ignoring people.

Zhilan looked at her sister-in-law helplessly, and said, "Sister-in-law, this, this, Xiaocao has just been ill for a few days, and her spirit may still be a little insufficient......

Yu's sister-in-law usually sees the Luo family's money-losing goods like this, so her original intention was not to listen to the child's call, but to make trouble to Zhilan in order to catch a good start. Therefore, she said in a weird way at this moment:

"Luo Dasheng's family, don't blame your sister-in-law for being troublesome! Sister-in-law knows that Xiaocao was born prematurely and her body is weak, and your family Dasheng even sees Xiaocao as if she were eyeballs - but what, this girl's family really can't be spoiled too much!

...... If it is in the belly of the one who is born in Mushuangyuan, I will never say much about my sister-in-law, but in the final analysis, just the origin of a slave seedling, is born as a maid's life - if you raise Xiaocao as a 'young lady', you are actually harming the child...... My words are rough, but they are not rough!

If you are a maid, you should be honest and don't think about things you shouldn't think...... I can't say that one day the ancestors will bless me, and I can 'ascend to the sky in one step' like the one in the 'Caixia Academy' in the past! That's really! But ah, not everyone can have this kind of creation......

Ouch, sister-in-law almost forgot about it, you of Luo Dasheng's family used to be your wife's dowry!"

The more sister-in-law Yu said, the more energetic she became. These words, when others listen to them, they are not angry, and their faces have to change a few times. Zhilan stood there with her eyes down, her face blank, holding her child, and occasionally whispering "um" as a response.

Zhilan's attitude was accentuated by the aggressiveness of her sister-in-law, like a poor little flower. No, soon someone came out to hug the grievances.

I saw a round-faced woman living in the opposite door of Yu's sister-in-law's house couldn't help but come out and said:

"Okay, Yu family, keep grasping this thing and say, what are you doing?!"

"What do you mean by 'always grasping this thing'!" Hearing this, Yu's sister-in-law was upset, "Don't be nosy!"

The round-faced woman couldn't help her sister-in-law's rogue attitude, so she had to turn to Zhilan and said, "Okay, Luo Dasheng's family, aren't you going out to visit relatives? It's not too early this day, hurry up." ”

Zhilan glanced at the round-faced woman gratefully, left a sentence of "go first", and left quickly with her daughter in her arms.

It wasn't until Zhilan walked away that Yu's sister-in-law looked at the slender back, and continued to say unrelentingly: "Bah, go to relatives, go to relatives! Who is the daughter-in-law who walks so diligently with relatives? Or is it a so-called relative who can't be beaten with eight poles...... I look like I'm complaining all day long, and I want to say if I'm going to go out to find a wild man!"

This is not clean, and the round-faced woman on the side couldn't hold back and said, "You, you don't have to say a word......

"Why! The mouth grows here with me, I can say whatever I like, no one can care!" Yu's sister-in-law opened her mouth and pushed back, "I advise you not to help that all day long, and wait for one day to take away your man, you will feel good!"

"-You, you!"
