Chapter 44: Scapegoating
"Mrs., girl, it's all red lines are not good, implicate Mrs. girl, Mrs., girl, don't take care of me, just leave me behind. ”
Lin Yaxuan looked at her but said, "You are just acting according to orders, and I don't blame you." ”
Hongwen kowtowed and said: "Mrs. Girl treats Hongwen as heavy as a mountain, when such a thing happens, Hongwen didn't plan to live, it was the girl and Mrs. who maintained Hongwen in every way, Hongwen was already content in her heart, and she didn't dare to bother Mrs. and the girl anymore." Hongwen went to tell the second wife, it was all Hongwen's idea alone, and it had nothing to do with the girl and his wife......"
Lin Yaxuan looked embarrassed, and finally reached out and pulled her up: "You just obey orders, and it's no wonder you." It's just that you have also seen that the second room is urging tightly, and I always have to give them an explanation, so I have to wronged you. But don't worry, I will protect your life even if I am desperate. It's just that this Lin Mansion, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay. “
Lin Yaxuan thought for a moment and said: "You came from the northwest with us, I know that you have no relatives in Jiangnan, and it just so happens that the eldest sister is coming to Jiangnan, are you willing to go back with her?" I will tell the eldest sister that when you arrive in the northwest, if you are willing to go home, I will give you a deed of sale, if you are unwilling, it is okay to follow and serve the eldest sister." ”
After all, Hongwen still has a family in the northwest, and she hasn't gone back for so many years, when Lin Yaxuan said this, she was also moved, and she kowtowed to Lin Yaxuan: "The girl planned so thoughtfully for Hongwen, Hongwen can't be repaid." ”
Lin Yaxuan said: "But before the eldest sister comes, I have to wronged you to stay in Jiangnan for a while, and we will give you some money and find you a good place to live...... According to the rules of the Lin Mansion, you will be punished with a cane for twenty, but I will tell the executioner that my subordinates will be merciful. ”
Hongwen was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Hongwen is not afraid, Hongwen listens to the girl." ”
Lin Yaxuan patted her hand and said, "Okay, then you go back first, pack up your things, and wait for my news." ”
The red stripes should be receded.
Mrs. Liu looked at Lin Yaxuan and said puzzledly: "Are you planning to get rid of this useless thing?"
Lin Yaxuan said: "Although she is no longer useful, her sister Rue Xiang is still rare and loyal, leaving a life with red lines, and the loyalty of buying Rue Xiang is also worth it." ”
Mrs. Liu said: "Keeping her is a disaster after all, in case it ......"
Lin Yaxuan said: "Mother, you don't really think that the second aunt doesn't know anything, she must have decided that we did this thing, so she will send the red vein back." Dealing with red lines was originally just a trivial matter, and the second aunt didn't look at it, what she wanted was our explanation. ”
Mrs. Liu looked at Lin Yaxuan's determined expression: "Do you have an idea?"
Lin Yaxuan smiled coldly and nodded slowly: "Mother, remember, there was still someone there that night." ”
Here, Lin Yaxuan's mother and daughter are discussing the poison plan, Lin Zhixuan is busy moving over there, Mrs. Liu, Xia Lan and Gu's mother have also placed Lin Ruoxuan's things and come in, Lin Zhixuan was about to say something, but saw Chun Tao also come in, and stepped forward to give Lin Zhixuan a curtsy salute, very respectful and humble, and never showed off her might in her house in the past.
Lin Zhixuan smiled faintly, glanced at the girl in her room, and said with a smile: "What are you doing here, I'm back, you've all seen it, what to do and what to do, it's enough for me to have a few of them in front of me." ”
The little girls just came to see Lin Zhixuan, after all, she was not in the room for a long time, and she should come back to see the ceremony, now that Lin Zhixuan has spoken, everyone looked at Gu's mother and nodded, and everyone saluted Lin Zhixuan again and retreated, not mentioning her own work.
The people in the room were all smiling, only Chun Tao was a little at a loss, not knowing whether to stay or go out.
Lin Zhixuan only looked at Mrs. Liu's old face and laughed like a chrysanthemum, and she was still holding a small blue cloth bag in her hand, but it seemed to have some weight, and Lin Zhixuan understood in her heart that it was silver.
Everyone also has a bottom in their hearts, but they don't dare to say much when they see Chun Tao here. Now Lin Zhixuan is disgusted with Chun Tao, this kind of thing is extremely secretive, it can't be said if it's not close, Qiu Ju and Gu's mother are smart, Dongmei is still young, and she doesn't see it at all, and Xia Lan doesn't know why.
Mrs. Liu didn't know this, but just before entering the door, Qiu Ju told her a few words, and she also had a bottom in her heart, Lin Zhixuan didn't ask, and she wouldn't say it.
Lin Zhixuan glanced at the people in the room, Chun Tao stood farthest, and seemed to be a little uneasy, feeling as if there was no place for her in this room.
Lin Zhixuan hooked the corners of her lips slightly, didn't look at her, and only asked Mrs. Liu: "Mom, is there anything else?"
The people in the room were a little surprised when they saw Lin Zhixuan ask like this, they originally thought that Lin Zhixuan would drive Chun Tao out first, but now what does Lin Zhixuan mean by saying this in front of Chun Tao? Lin Zhixuan doesn't treat Chun Tao as an outsider?
When Mrs. Liu asked, it was not easy to hide it anymore, so she also explained to Lin Zhixuan and Pan by her temperament: "There is something that needs to be returned to the girl, the girl doesn't know, a few days ago, the girl Xia Lan in the girl's room asked her mother to send me a handkerchief, saying that she wanted to take over the embroidery work of the Splendid Workshop." ”
Xia Lan was very surprised when she heard it, she had never done such a thing, she looked at Lin Zhixuan very innocently, and was about to open her mouth to explain, but Lin Zhixuan also looked up at her, smiled comfortingly at her, and then said to Mrs. Liu: "I know about this, Xia Lan told me about it." But there is no rule in our Lin Mansion that maids are not allowed to take on embroidery work privately, as long as she is busy, it is her own business, and my mother is here to tell me what to do?"
Mrs. Liu was happy, and said: "This is natural, this is natural, but thanks to the girl's magnanimity, there are masters in our house who don't like the maids below to do this, and our wife is the first one." The girl can think so, the old slave is also happy for Miss Xialan, and the old slave is naturally not here to sue, but also to ask for grace for Miss Xialan. ”
Lin Zhixuan became more and more puzzled and asked, "What grace do you ask?"
Mrs. Liu said: "It's really that Miss Xialan's needlework is too good, girl, please see, a thin handkerchief, Jinxiufang gave fifty taels of silver! My old woman has never seen such a valuable handkerchief in her life, and I have never heard of it." ”
Mrs. Liu said and handed the package she was holding in her arms to Lin Zhixuan, but because it was too heavy, she had to put it on the bed.
