Chapter Ninety-Seven: Repatriation
"Amma, I've never liked amaranth. Brother Shizi said that the second aunt's family has changed, and if the second aunt has any ideas, it is better not to affect Amma. Ying Qi said softly while coughing.
Ah Ling's heart was shocked, and she remembered His Majesty's angry expression.
"Okay, you said it was the second aunt's maid who instructed it?" Alinga turned her head to the second aunt, "Furong, what do you have to say?"
"Master, they said before that the cook was arranged by the fifth aunt. There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add. The concubine treats the eldest lady not to say that she is better than the second lady in person, but she has always replaced her with courtesy, and she has never been disrespectful. The second aunt was not worried, how could a little maid bring herself down. It's just that she didn't expect Ying Qi to have such a trick, could it be a death struggle, she looked at Ying Qi, Doctor Ye was applying needles to Ying Qi, and her head was shaking with silver needles.
"Mei'er, go, point out to me the maid who sent you a message. Alinga gestured to Mu Xin with her eyes, and Mu Xin immediately understood what he meant, so she grabbed Mei'er and dragged her to the maids.
Mei'er quickly identified the maid at that time, and it turned out to be Qingshu's maid Xiangxiang. brought it up, and the incense was more direct, and without waiting for Mu Xin to threaten to speak, he knelt directly on the ground and took everything on himself. said that she had always been dissatisfied with the arrogance of the eldest lady, and often bullied the second lady as soon as she came. She couldn't look past it, and when she heard that the kitchen was going to make new soft-shelled turtle soup to present to the lord and the eldest lady, she remembered that she had seen a person in the countryside eating amaranth soft-shelled turtle soup and being poisoned, and she only needed to secretly instruct the cook to put the amaranth into the eldest lady's bowl, which was generally not easy to find out at all. Who would have thought that not only Ying Qi vomited blood on the spot, but the doctor happened to be there.
"It's bold. A little maid dared to poison the eldest lady. Come, drag me down, and be punished with a rod. Mei'er, Whip Ten. Alinga was furious, and Xiang Xiang didn't say how many hits, which meant that he was beaten to death.
Alinga beckoned, Mu Xin stepped forward, Alinga gave a few commands, and Mu Xin ordered someone to drag Xixiang and Mei'er out for execution.
All the people did not move, quietly listening to the sound of the rod outside, and after a quarter of an hour, Musin hurried in and whispered a few words in Aling's ear. Alinga looked at the second aunt fiercely and said in a low voice, "I'll go personally." ”
Alinga turned and walked out of the hall, and the rest of the people didn't move. The lord didn't move, and no one dared. After all, everyone can see that this matter is not over. As for the seventeenth elder brother and Delong, they seemed to be watching a play, but they chatted with Albena on the side.
Under Xueyun's hint, Mu Xin took advantage of the attack on the incense, controlled several suspicious maids, and interrogated them separately, so naturally everything came out. What's more, Xueyun also gave Mu Xin a large stack of evidence. Musin knew something himself, but he also knew that he could not interfere with the Duke's inner house. However, in this situation, Xueyun has already asked him to stand in line, and now in this situation, he naturally knows which side to stand on.
"Yingxiang, you have explained honestly, I will not affect your family. Alinga said coldly.
"Thank you, master, for your kindness!
Although Yingxiang honestly explained everything. The second aunt took control of the housework, designed to kill the eldest lady, bought a murderer to kill the eldest lady, and as for bullying the aunt, the concubines were not allowed to get pregnant, and instigated the brothers of the mother's family to secretly do more forced buying and selling, enclosing land and buying knights in the name of Alinga. That's why she has such a huge amount of assets that have been funding Alinga, in order to fund the Eight Elder Brothers' party.
"This slut, I don't see that she is so vicious and has done so many unconscionable things. Really, really...... The old man is angry!" Ah Ling'a was so angry that her fingers cracked.
"Don't hurt your body. Mu Xin hurriedly stepped forward to reassure.
"Death! No, the seventeenth elder brother and the prince are still outside. Alinga thought about it, why did it happen that those two little guys came to her own house so coincidentally today.
"Master, why don't you send it to the family temple. After all, there are still the second son and the second lady. Musin was on the sidelines and persuaded.
As in the past, with the second aunt's funding for many years, Alinga will not do anything to her, at most she will apply for a reward. However, now that her mother's family has fallen because of a taboo, Alinga only wishes to get rid of her now. How could it be possible to protect her.
"So be it. Yingxiang killed herself and ordered her family to come and take it back. Yingxiang lay on the ground and cried silently.
By the time Alinga entered the hall, he was back to normal.
"Come on, immediately send the second aunt to the family temple for retreat. No one is allowed to visit without my warrant. Ah Ling'a didn't explain anything, but his words have already made everyone understand that the instigator of this murder of the eldest lady is naturally the second aunt.
"Ama!" and Qingshu exclaimed at the same time, but the second aunt collapsed directly to the ground, and she didn't say a word. From the beginning of the incident in her family, she knew that Alinga could abandon her at any time.
"Amma, what did your aunt do wrong, and you want to send her away? You didn't even ask your aunt, how did you know that your aunt hurt your eldest sister?" Arsona defended unconvinced. "Besides, isn't there nothing wrong with the eldest sister? Even if the aunt makes a mistake, she runs this family for you, and there is no merit and hard work. ”
"Second brother, Amma is in charge of everything. It's not for you and me to meddle in housekeeping. Albena reminded Arson.
"It's not your mother, of course you don't care. Arsuna glared at his eldest brother fiercely.
"Shut up, your eldest brother is right, you should talk about these things!" Alinga reprimanded Arsuna fiercely.
"Alright, let me go down. The affairs of the family will be handled by the third aunt in the future. The rest of the aunts were not allowed to leave the garden without my warrant in the past few months, and the young ladies still followed the grandmother to learn etiquette. Alinga looked at everyone coldly, this is the grounding of all people.
Everyone withdrew. The second aunt was helped up by the maid on the side, and reluctantly followed Mu Xin, and there was no chance for Arsuna and Qingshu to say goodbye.
Although Arsonga and Qingshu were angry, they didn't dare to contradict Alinga again, only the maids around Ren lured them away.
"Amma, it's all daughters, aren't they, so tired that Amma is. Ying Qi hasn't left with her, Ye Tianshi is getting her needle.
"Good daughter, you are the one who suffers, how can I blame you for this. You hurry down to rest and let Dr. Ye take a good look at your illness. Alinga looked at the seventeenth elder brother and the prince next to him.
"I've applied an injection to detoxify the eldest lady. Take a few more medicines and rest to recuperate. Ye Tianshi also returned to Delong after retrieving the needle.
The daughter quit first. "Well, hurry up, help the young lady down and have a good rest. Ying Qi curtsied and left.
"I said, Lord Duke, you should also find a lady to take care of the council. DeLong said from the side.
Alinga shook her head, "Alas, Shizi, it's not like you don't know my difficulties. ”
And they went to other places. The matter of the back house, the women feel that it is like a splash, for the men in the vestibule, it is just a trivial chore, even if a cane kills a maid, even if a master is demolished, it is just between Alinga's mouth opening and closing. And for Alinga's big event, it is naturally the vestibule.
"Congratulations to the third aunt!"
"Congratulations, Miss!"
Ying Qi walked out of Ah Ling's yard, and the third aunt had already arranged for the sedan chair to wait outside, after all, Ying Qi was injured.
"Auntie, I have an order, I don't know if I can solve the puzzle?" sent Yingqi to Chungui Garden, Lixia has been waiting outside the garden for a long time. Ying Qi beckoned, and Lixia immediately stepped forward, holding a small box in his hand.
Ying Qi personally took it and handed it to the third aunt, and the third aunt opened it suspiciously, and when she looked at it, her expression changed greatly.
"Miss, this ......"
"Recently, my etiquette has basically ended, and I will enter the palace to study in the near future. A little chores, I'm going to trouble my aunt. Ying Qi is soft and irrefutable. "After a while, the third aunt can send the second lady to my garden and tell Amma that the second lady is willing to learn to copy a Buddhist scripture at her grandmother within a month because of her mother. To atone for his mother's sins. ”
"Thank you, Miss, the concubine will not be dishonored!" the third aunt smiled. This is to copy the entire Autumn Tea Garden. And Ying Qi just wants to get back her mother's dowry, and the rest of the second aunt's things will naturally be handed over to the third aunt. The second aunt was born in an imperial businessman, and her wealth was no less than Yingqi's dowry, but because the eldest lady had a lot of royal rewards for her dowry, it was not as valuable, but the wealth was comparable.
"In the future, the family will have to rely on the eldest brother, and the aunt doesn't have to focus too much on the present. Ying Qi smiled and threw out another olive branch.
"Naturally, naturally, I will have to promote the eldest lady more in the future. The third aunt also smiled. "Then the concubine will not disturb the eldest lady's rest. The third aunt took her leave and left.
"Miss, are you alright?" entered the garden, and everyone gathered around.
Looking at the concerned faces, Ying Qi smiled slightly. "It's okay, the second aunt was sent to the family temple. In the future, the third aunt will be in charge, and everyone must act carefully according to the rules of the house. ”
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, the third aunt is all dependent on the eldest lady to be a family, that is, the eldest lady no longer has to worry about someone in this mansion will hinder Chunguiyuan.
