Chapter XI Investigation

"What have you heard?" asked the Third Lady.

"Everything. ”

"Didn't hear anything. ”

Shen Yilan and Shen Miaolan said in unison, and after speaking, the two glanced at each other.

The third lady frowned slightly, and asked again, "Did you hear it or didn't hear it?" ”

"I didn't hear that. ”

"I hear you. ”

The two sisters invariably changed their words, but they didn't have a tacit understanding and answered differently.

The third lady couldn't laugh or cry, "You two, did you hear it or didn't hear it, Miao'er, you say." ”

"I heard it!" Shen Miaolan hung her head and told the truth.

"If you hear it, why do you start lying? Later, I had to change my tune. The third lady pretended to be stern and glared at Shen Miaolan.

These three ladies are Shen Miaolan's biological mother, but now this Shen Miaolan has changed her bag. She really didn't know how to answer the third lady. Biting his lip, after thinking for a moment, he said, "I didn't hear it because I didn't want my mother to worry, if we knew that something happened to our father, we would naturally panic, and my mother would have to take care of our emotions, and worry about my father, and find a way to contact the outside of the house to save him, I'm afraid that we will be out of luck." Later, I changed my story because my sister told the truth, if I bit me to death and lied, according to how much my sister loves me in the past day, she will naturally stop me and admit that she lied. My mother is the most taboo for others to lie, and she will definitely punish her sister when the time comes. Miao'er doesn't want to bother her sister because of her ignorance. ”

"It sounds like you're thinking about others everywhere, if you say you're ignorant, it's because you're ignorant for your mother. The third lady looked at Shen Miaolan and was quite satisfied.

I didn't expect Shen Miaolan to be so calm and consider these at such a young age when she knew that something had happened to her father. She's really different from what she used to be. In the past, Miao Lan acted cautiously because she was timid and afraid of making mistakes. Now he is quick thinking and pure in heart. Unexpectedly, after an ordeal, she would benefit a lot. I was worried that she would enter the palace before, and she would not be able to become a big climate if she was so timid, but now it seems that there is no need to worry. On the other hand, Shen Yilan, who is quite clever in the past day, seems a little uncalm when she encounters this incident.

She didn't know about Mrs. Shen, in fact, Shen Miaolan was so calm because she changed her bag, and the third master said that it was her father, and she really had no feelings for him. If she wants to panic, she can't panic. Shen Yilan silently lowered a level in her mother's heart because of Shen Miaolan's heartlessness. I was really shot while lying down.

Where did Shen Yilan know this, she had always defended her sister, and after hearing this, she hurriedly said, "I couldn't help but be curious and wanted to know who Aunt Fan was, so I pulled my sister to eavesdrop." If the mother is punished, then punish her daughter. It's the daughter who didn't be a good sister and brought her sister badly. ”

The third lady watched her two daughters maintain each other, and her heart was warm. Fang Cai's worries about the third master have also eased a lot. Waving his hand, "That's it, that's it." You two didn't make any big mistakes, except because you were worried about your father and me. Just, you two have to remember. The things you hear today will rot in your stomach. No one is allowed to say it. We have three rooms, and no one knows why the lord has delayed for half a month and still hasn't returned to Beijing. ”

"Yes!" Shen Miaolan and Shen Yilan both curtsed and responded.

The third lady waved her hand, "Okay, my mother doesn't have the heart to talk to you today." Let's all go back to each other. ”

The two sisters nodded and quietly withdrew.

Shen Miaolan and Shen Yilan both had some doubts in their hearts, but they knew that the matter was too big to talk about it. Along the way, the two sisters did not talk about their own affairs. Yilan first sent Miaolan back to Miaoxian Pavilion, and then went back to her house.

As soon as Shen Miaolan entered the door, Yun Ying greeted her. While taking off her fur coat for Miaolan, she said, "Girl, the matter you told the slave to investigate has been found out." ”

"So fast!" Shen Miaolan was pleasantly surprised.

Yun Ying proudly raised her red fluttering face, "That is, the slave maid has made a lot of little sisters in this mansion, and she can know anything if you want to." ”

Of course, the price of knowing what you want to know is that no matter what good things the little girl gets, she will disperse. Yes, in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Yun Ying beside the fifth lady is a girl who scatters wealth. Everyone received the benefits of Yunying, and when she wanted to inquire about something, everyone with short hands naturally had to know everything and say everything.

Yun Ying helped Shen Miaolan into the warm pavilion and replied, "The rockery is really as the girl expected, there is a hole in it." ”

"Oh? Miao Lan took a cup of hot tea, blew the floating tea on it, and asked casually.

"The rockery has nine curved ileums, and ordinary people can't get through. But if you have a map drawn when you build a rockery, you can walk from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, and even go out of the house. Yun Ying said mysteriously, "The original mountain scenery in our house is not like this, it was later rebuilt by the second master." It is said that the mountains are continuous, which can symbolize the blessings of the old marquis. So, this drawing has always been in the hands of the second room. And the second master favors Aunt Bai the most, and Aunt Bai naturally knows the strangeness of this. ”

Things seem to have gotten more complicated! Shen Miaolan frowned and asked again, "Then what did Aunt Bai do in the outer courtyard?"

"Aunt Bai said that she did something wrong and annoyed the second lady, and the second lady is afraid that this time she will take advantage of the second master's absence to punish him heavily. The second master of Su Rili rewarded a lot of things, and she asked someone to take them out as silver and give the third girl money for herself. Yun Ying replied with some sneer, "They deserve to harm the girl, and now that the East Window incident has happened, I'm afraid the old lady will not spare them." ”

If you make a mistake, there will always be room for maneuver, and a smart person like Aunt Bai will not wait and see what happens, but take the risk of violating the house rules and kick the things out of the house?

Shen Miaolan contacted what Aunt Fan said today, and felt that things were definitely not that simple. So he asked, "Do you know where she sent her things?"

"The slave doesn't know. Yun Ying shook her head, "Then the slave will go and investigate." ”

As she spoke, she was about to go out, but Shen Miaolan stopped her, "Don't go, it's enough to know this, don't startle the snake." ”

After listening to the lark for a long time, the expression on her face was quite solemn, and Shen Miaolan knew that she had always been thoughtful and thoughtful, so she asked, "Skylark, what did you think of?"

The lark shook his head, "The slave maid thinks something seems unreasonable, but she doesn't know where it is. In short, the slave maid felt that Aunt Bai would never be in exchange for silver. She has always been favored, and what the second master gave in private was only afraid that it was no less than the second lady's dowry. At this moment, no matter how greedy she is, she will not exchange it for silver. ”

"Who else is in this Aunt Bai's family?" asked Shen Miaolan following the lark's thoughts.

"Slave, I thought of it!" Yun Ying suddenly realized and suddenly spoke.

Shen Miaolan and Skylark looked at her in unison.
