Chang'an watched the little grandmother open the clothes in her hand, a gorgeous but not cheesy red wedding dress, on which the delicate yellow flowers were blooming, intertwined into a group, dense and festive.
What a beautiful wedding dress!
Even if Chang'an couldn't speak, he was amazed in his heart. stepped forward and gently held it with both hands, seeing that it was not enough, and fell in love.
She raised the thumb of her right hand and gestured to the dumb girl, meaning that it was so good! This needlework is so beautiful!
The dumb aunt shook her head with a wry smile and sighed: "It's really beautiful, but it's a pity that the master is no longer in the world." This exquisite embroidery, this beautiful Huangjuan flower, I am afraid that no one in Liufu can embroider. ”
Thinking of the tragic death of the third aunt, my heart was sad again.
At the door, Qian'er rushed in despair, "Oh no, Lan Rui was taken away by the eldest lady's people!"
The dumb aunt missed, and the wedding dress in her hand slipped to the ground.
muttered in his mouth: "This old demon of Black Mountain, the claws are so long!"
As he spoke, he sat down on a stool and fell into deep thought.
Qian'er wiped her tears: "If the slave maid says something that shouldn't be said, we can't do anything about this kind of thing, and it's not easy to meddle." The maids who bought into this house, we are all slaves of the Liu family, and if people want to beat, scold, punish or sell, it is all the power of others. The eldest lady is the first hostess in the house, and she is in charge of the affairs, and even the master does not necessarily care. It's just that this Sister Lan Rui, I'm afraid that this time I'm going to be more than lucky. ”
The dumb aunt used an iron hook to stir the fire in the furnace, and her face gradually calmed down, and even Chang'an saw that the situation was not very good, so she was too frightened to look at the wedding dress, and stood quietly in a daze.
"Catch Ming'er, maybe how to manipulate me, they are all maids, their bodies are not their own, their lives are not their own, they all blame the poor family, and my father and mother sold us. Qian'er cried and chattered. "The slave really misses the days when I was out with you, how free, what you want, and never afraid that someone will suddenly change your face and find trouble. ”
The dumb aunt turned to look at Qian'er, "I was also bought by someone, my family's poor tenant." ”
"So...... "Shall," Asa'er's eyes were red, "the slave is worried that you have annoyed her, and we will all suffer together." But if you don't save Sister Lan Rui, she is really pitiful...... Alas, why are we so miserable as girls......"
The dumb aunt smashed a charcoal fire with an iron hook, watched the flame go out, and suddenly threw down the iron hook in an uproar, and said in a sharp tone: "Originally, I thought that things would not be so urgent, but it seems that she can't wait to make a move." Go, you go to the study to find the master, and then go to Mufengju to find Aunt Jiu. Just one word, he asked the master, did he want to know how Brother Wan got madness? How did Brother Wan'er's aunt die? How did the twins in Aunt Jiu's womb and Bao'er die? How did the sons of several aunts and wives of the Liu family die? I wanted to hear the truth and ask him to come to the middle courtyard. When you see Li Wanjiao, you only say one word, and ask her if she wants her Bao'er to grow up healthy and safe? If you want, you will also come to the middle courtyard. Then you go to the various courtyards, and say the order of the eldest lady, and tell everyone to assemble in the middle courtyard to discuss important matters. ”
Qian'er's little face turned white with fright, "Little grandma, these words are not something that can be said casually, in case we annoy the old man and the ninth aunt, we will be finished." ”
The dumb aunt patted Qian'er on the shoulder, "Go ahead, things have come to this point, the arrow is on the bow, I have to send it, and I am also forced to have no way out." But don't worry, the worst outcome is that they don't come, and we can't save Lan Rui, but I have my own way to get out of Chen's place. ”
As soon as she heard that the little grandmother could get out safely, Qian'er was relieved to go.
The dumb aunt was not in a hurry to leave, looked at herself in the mirror for a while, went out and folded a large bunch of plum branches on the plum tree, held it in her arms, and then slowly went out and walked along the stone road towards the middle courtyard.
The courtyard was silent.
Lan Mei stood in the doorway, looking pensive.
When the dumb aunt approached, Lan Mei was surprised, seemed to be surprised, and coughed, "You, you, you're here?"
The dumb aunt chuckled: "Yes, I've been back for so long, and I have long wanted to visit the eldest wife, but unfortunately I fell ill as soon as I came back, and I was afraid that I would be sick to you, so I waited until I was better today to come over, how is the eldest lady?"
Lan Mei's face darkened, she didn't say a word, lifted the curtain, and at the same time reported to the house: "Big lady, Brother Wan's daughter-in-law is here!"
There was silence in the room.
The dumb aunt walked in the door and saw Chen lying on the bed, and Lan Rui kneeling on the ground in front of the bed.
At first glance, Lan Rui was just kneeling on the green brick floor.
The dumb aunt took a closer look, and suddenly gasped, and a sense of resentment hit her heart, and the heat in her heart rolled, and she almost screamed.
Lan Rui actually knelt on the big pile of porcelain tiles.
The porcelain was fine, sharp, sharp, and the knees of Lan Rui's skirt were already oozing specks of blood.
Lan Rui didn't dare to look at the dumb aunt, but just kowtowed to Chen on the bed, her forehead touched the bottom, touched the broken porcelain, and blood was also gushing on her forehead.
"You're here?" Chen raised his head and looked at the dumb aunt, and a smile actually appeared on his face: "You came just in time." I'm punishing an ignorant here, but it's a pity that I've been sick lately, and I'm getting shorter and shorter, and I can't do it myself, so you whip her with that feather duster for me. ”
As he spoke, he threw over a feather duster.
The dumb aunt caught the feather duster. This feather duster is made of bamboo as a rod, with a thick finger, if you really want to use it to whip people, and it is a bloody Lan Rui kneeling on the porcelain piece, it is estimated that it will hurt into the bone marrow.
The dumb girl remained silent and twitched her palm with a duster. Put the plum branch in your arms on the table.
At the door, Lan Mei was stunned by this scene.
Lan Rui's body trembled, and it seemed that she had been beaten by Chen's order when she came in, and she knew that it was uncomfortable.
The dumb aunt didn't change her face, took two steps forward, suddenly raised her hand, and really shot at Lan Rui's back, snapped, and a duster fell.
Lan Mei shuddered.
Lan Rui gritted her teeth and suffered alive.
Although this little girl is small, she is extremely smart and stubborn, she actually saw that the dumb aunt beat her because she had no way to do this, so she didn't resist, but just straightened her back and carried it down. But with the exertion on the body, the knees inevitably sank, and the porcelain pieces under the knees were like sharp knives and drilled into the flesh.
The dumb aunt looked calm, and hit five times in one breath, Lan Rui was in unbearable pain, and she was too tormented with the third aunt day and night during this time, her body was already weak, her eyes were closed, her body was crooked, and she fainted.
"May I ask the eldest lady, I fainted, do I still need to fight?" the dumb aunt looked at Chen, with a faint smile on her face, and asked loudly.
Chen slowly got up, and looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, this little girl, can she still laugh at this moment?
It's just that she doesn't hurt Lan Rui, aren't you afraid that her eldest wife will give her this dismount head-on?!
Chen also smiled and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?"
The dumb aunt was not in a hurry, "Let's continue to fight, such an ignorant slave is not too much to kill, who told her to provoke your eldest wife." ”
As he spoke, he raised the duster in his hand.
Lan Mei hesitated and approached, "Big lady, you can't fight anymore, if you kill the old man, how to explain it, after all, a human life, it's worth a few dollars if you sell it......"
"Then call Steward Liu to drag it out and sell it. Chen seemed tired and waved his hand.
"How can you sell it?" the dumb aunt suddenly stepped forward, stopped Lan Mei, and looked at Chen with a smile, "What if you are killed? Anyway, it is nothing for you to kill a person in your hands, eldest lady! Besides, it is not the first time that you have killed people in these years, so this Lan Rui girl, it is better to kill you to relieve your anger, you are too lazy to start, and your own daughter-in-law will serve you." As he spoke, he raised his feather duster.
"What are you talking about?" Chan shouted. It seemed that the dumb girl's words were a knife that stabbed her flesh.
The dumb aunt blew the chicken feathers on the duster, still laughing: "The daughter-in-law didn't say anything, but casually mentioned a little bit of the evil that the eldest lady has done in Liufu over the years." Why, are you afraid? Don't dare to admit it? Dare to do it, you are an upright wife, the wife of Master Liu, a good person who eats fasting and recites Buddha in the dark all day, a gentle and frugal lady who leads by example everywhere, and a model of women's morality in the whole house, since you have done it, you should dare to admit it...... Oh, I remember, you really should be afraid, because these things are not visible, they are immoral things done in the shadows, and if they really want to spread out, not only will the whole Liu family be a sensation, the lord will be furious, and those aunts and wives will tear you apart, and the most terrible thing is that the entire Lingzhou Mansion will be shocked! How good, the eldest lady of Liufu, who is famous for her virtuous and wise talents, turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, a combination of fierce women, poisonous women, and jealous women, and over the years, she has used vicious means to kill her husband's many concubines and poisoned countless concubines......"
At this time, the dumb aunt heard footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, some heavy and some light, indicating that there were men and women among the people.
She took a deep breath, and her voice suddenly increased, dragging on for a long time: "Don't glare at me, I'm not talking nonsense, and it's not that I can't show evidence." Since I dare to say that, I naturally have proof. You, Chen Yufang, have been in Cao Ying's heart in Han all these years, and you have married Master Liu, but you have been hooking up with Xie Yulin, and you have been communicating privately. raped, put on a huge green hat for the master, and also took advantage of the convenience of his status as a langzhong to poison the aunts' wives, successively poisoned the eldest aunt, forced the third aunt, caused the second aunt to lose fertility, and killed the third aunt, the fourth aunt, the fifth aunt, the sixth aunt, the seventh aunt, the eighth aunt and others, how many male fetuses were born, I believe only you and your cousin Xie know. ”
"You, you, you...... What nonsense are you talking about?"
This verbal attack came so suddenly that the eldest lady Chen woke up from her surprise and roared hoarsely.
Lan Mei at the door was also stunned. She has served her wife for many years, although she has served her closely, there are some things that her wife does that she doesn't know, and it is all because Mother Liu cooperates with the eldest wife.
If what the dumb aunt said is true, the old lady has done too many sins over the years!
"Come on, pull this little hoof down and kill it?" Mother Liu, Mother Liu, pull it directly to the bench room!" Chen's originally sick body suddenly bounced, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
Lan Mei wanted to enter the house, but her body was grabbed by a large hand. She looked back with some difficulty, it was the master, when did the master come, she didn't even notice it.
Master Liu shook his head at Lan Mei and motioned for her not to make a sound.
Behind him, Aunt Nine actually came.
There are also aunts and wives, one by one, who invited them to come.
Lan Mei's whole body was sore, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only lean against the door softly.
In the world inside the door, the quarrel continues. And the dumb aunt's tone is higher and clearer.
"The third aunt just died, and everyone knows the cause of death, she lost the child in her womb, and she didn't want to live, so she died, which is the cause of death that everyone knows. But, dear eldest lady, I dare to ask, is this really the cause of death? You dare to touch your heart and swear to the heavens that you didn't do anything? I have already checked, her child was miscarried, you poisoned her, she died herself, and it was your poison that left the residual poison. Of course, she is dead, and no one is going to pursue her. Then let's talk about something else, Liu Wan, Brother Wan, Master Liu's eldest son, after his mother was killed by you, you played the role of a good wife and mother, and personally adopted and raised him, in the mouth of the world, you have become the embodiment of virtue, Shuliang, and love, you pull other people's children with a handful of and urine, you work hard and have no desires, hum, except for yourself and your love* Husband Xie Yulin, who knows, you started to add poison to Liu Wan's diet five years ago, day after day, year after year, for a long time, Liu Wan's body was chronically poisoned, he developed madness, and he struggled painfully on the line of life and death every day......"
Suddenly there was a loud cry at the door.
It was Liu Wan, and he also arrived early.
The suffering he has suffered over the years is truly unforgettable.
Chen Shi seized the opportunity to interject and shouted: "Quickly pull down this tired little prostitute and plug her mouth! Lan Mei, Mother Liu, are you all dead!!"
The dumb aunt sneered: "Don't panic, I haven't finished talking yet, it's not too late for you to finish speaking! At this time last year, Aunt Jiu was too prostrate, twins, one alive and one died. If I hadn't arrived, don't say that I would have lived, Aunt Nine would not have survived herself! That dead baby, I have seen it, and I also deliberately left evidence that he died of poisoning, and the toxins in Aunt Jiu's body have not been cleared so far, and she has lost her fertility since then!"
"Ah......h
It's Aunt Nine. The news of not being able to continue to have children is a scorching thunder on the top of the head for a young woman. She could no longer sit calmly and stand by.
