Chapter 33: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"Caijuan, Caijuan!" someone walked over and called out loudly.
It is the eldest girl next to Miss Four, Shen Gui.
Today's Shen Gui combed her double mustache and looked at the fairy bun, making her somewhat round face look less round, she stood on the edge of the flower path, looked around, and muttered: "This Shen Gui, didn't you say that you were waiting here, why did I turn around to get something, she didn't know where to go......"
As soon as the words were chaotic, I saw Shen Gui walking out of the flowers at the other end, walked in front of Shen Gui, and took away the impression of the embroidered soles on Shen Gui's hand with some uncertainty, and said with an unsteady breath: "Sister Shen Gui, the second miss sent someone to look for me, it may be that there is an emergency, I will leave first, and I will come to my sister when I have time to ask my sister for this embroidered soles." ”
After speaking, regardless of Shen Gui's reaction, he grabbed the impression of the soles of the embroidered shoes, and walked quickly, showing a trace of panic in his hurried steps.
Shen Gui stood on the spot, watching Caijuan's back disappear into the low wall covered with verdant pothos, then he withdrew his gaze, the corners of his lips turned up, revealing a faint smile, and turned around and walked back to the courtyard.
As soon as she entered the main room, the fourth young lady Gu Yuanqin's gaze fell straight on her face, sharp as a sharp edge.
"Miss, everything is done. Shen Gui smiled easily, "Miss is really smart, Liao Liao fooled that stupid girl in a few words, I think this time the second lady is determined to hit the plan." ”
The fourth lady leaned back lazily, and the corners of her raised eyes shrewdly revealed: "When will the second sister avoid my trick?" But this time, I'm helping her. Didn't they always want to get rid of Xiao Wu in the big house? I helped her with this, so that Xiao Wu would make a big mess at the group meeting, and I would like to reward her in the future!"
Shen Gui was puzzled: "Miss, you have spent so much effort to get this Nine Turns Qiankun Pot, don't you want to help the Fifth Miss?
For a long time, the big house and their second room have never dealt with each other, and they are like fire and water, why did their own young lady turn her temper and help the opponent, which made her puzzled.
"What do you know!" The fourth lady glanced at Shen Gui, "This is a person and a worker, you have to take a long-term view, just look at what is in front of you, what's the use!"
After taking a sip of tea, Fang said: "Do you think that the five girls have no father and mother, are simple-minded, and are pressed by us, blame the pitiful, and sympathize with her, don't you? ”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Gui and Ziyan were stunned, glanced at each other, and then looked at the fourth young lady.
The fourth lady put down the teacup and her eyes sharpened: "Do you remember what happened in the seventh sister's house last summer?"
Shen Gui Ziyan and the others nodded quickly.
The fourth lady continued: "I remember that summer, the rhododendron that was removed from the mountain in the yard of the seventh sister bloomed the flowers of a tree, red as blood. In the morning, she also went to the temple with us to make incense, but unexpectedly in the afternoon, something happened. The incident happened in the house, and it didn't spread outside, but a girl who didn't know what to do told the old lady's mother Du in the house about something, and the old lady was furious when she learned about it, and she didn't even find out whether this thing was true or false, so she put the seven girls under house arrest. It didn't take long for him to give her to a bad old man as a concubine, and he married her off in a hurry. And what about these five girls, the same thing, they are also privately taught by men outside the house, but the circumstances of these two people are so different, haven't you thought about the reason for this?"
Shen Gui thought for a while and said, "Miss, Miss Seven is not as thick as Miss Five......
The fourth lady snorted coldly: "The fifth girl has a thick foundation, so isn't it right for the old lady to find a reason to marry her out of the mansion and marry a bad old man from another province? Moreover, although Aunt Jiang, the mother of the Seven Girls, said that her family background is not as good as that of the Five Girls' mother, doesn't she also have a mulberry garden of nearly 1,000 acres? On the night of the accident, Aunt Jiang knelt in the old lady's yard for the night, crying and shouting that she wanted to exchange the mulberry garden for a good family affair for the seventh lady, and the old lady was not moved?"
Shen Gui Ziyan and the others thought about it sideways, such a thing did happen in the summer of last year, Aunt Jiang knelt in the old lady's yard for a day and a night, and knelt so hard that she fainted, but the old lady was hard-hearted and insisted on marrying Miss Seven to the province. Aunt Jiang searched for death and life, and finally sent to a sister-in-law nunnery to recuperate, and then there was no follow-up.
Therefore, according to the old lady's temperament, she can't see the sisters in the house doing things that hurt the customs and affect the lintel. But whenever such a thing happens, it must be severely punished, and it will not be tolerated, and it is useless to bribe the old lady with something, after all, the old lady is still very sober, and knows that the most important thing is the honor of the sisters in the house. In this way, compared to the old lady's reaction to the incident of Miss Five, it seems a little strange.
Ziyan frowned and asked, "Then according to Miss's meaning, the fifth lady must have something outstanding to make the old lady look at her differently?"
The fourth lady nodded and said: "If there is nothing special about the five girls, can the old lady who has always been known for her shrewdness look at her differently? This incident did not happen in the house, presumably there should be rumors outside, and the old lady is willing to use her own connections to suppress the rumors outside, so there must be a reason for being biased towards the five girls." ”
Ziyan was puzzled: "Why does the old lady have special trust in the fifth lady?"
The fourth lady's face turned pale: "This is where I think Xiao Wu is the most dangerous, she is an orphan girl, and she has won the trust of the old lady in such a short period of time, and I didn't even see the Tao inside." You say, such a fifth miss, is it the past five young ladies in your eyes?"
Shen Gui Ziyan looked at each other: "Could it be that Miss refers to the fact that these five young ladies are impersonating?"
The young lady in the dignified Yuanning Marquis Mansion was actually impersonated, which is really unbelievable.
The fourth lady looked at the two big girls in front of her angrily and funny: "What two stupid girls! If she is really pretending, the girls who are following her can't be seen? Mother Du next to the old lady can't see it? I guess that with the soft temperament of the five girls, how can she come up with a way to win the trust of the old lady, there must be a superior person to guide her, maybe it is ......."
The fourth lady suddenly paused and didn't speak, and Ziyan immediately came to her senses: "Miss, do you mean Mother Du next to the old lady?"
The fourth lady narrowed her eyes slightly: "In this group meeting, the upright second sister will definitely embarrass the five girls in person according to the game I set." In this way, it is tantamount to losing the face of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, even if the old lady loves the second sister again, I am afraid that she has some scruples about the second sister being so unpopular, right? And the fifth girl, who was exposed for cheating on the spot, can't stay in the capital if she wants to? When the time comes, we will lose the hair of the second sister and the fifth girl, which is called killing two birds with one stone!"
Shen Gui Ziyan said: "Miss is really smart. ”
"As for Mother Du, who has been in the way of our big things...... Fourth Miss said slowly, "She's also old, so it's time to go home and take her grandson, right?"
