Chapter 56: House arrest
Aunt Li in the second room was pulling the sleeve of the second master of Qin, sobbing and crying: "I don't know what the master said to the master, the master actually left the five girls in the long room with such confidence." The fifth girl just followed her wife to the Su family, why can't she even see her face when she comes back?"
Second Master Qin impatiently waved away the beaded jade hand on his sleeve: "Since the eldest brother personally sent someone to say it, it is natural that something big has happened, and it is a good thing that the fifth girl and the sixth girl are closer."
"What if the five girls have something?" Aunt Li suddenly cried loudly. "Since I came back from the Su family, I haven't seen the five girls! I don't know if the five girls caused trouble at the banquet? The five girls are the meat that fell from the concubine's body, and there is no one closer to her than the concubine! I beg the master to take the five girls back! If there are three long and two short in Suiping, I, I will not live!"
As soon as she remembered that Hongyao raised her eyes in her ear, he said to her: "The fifth girl has not appeared in the second room since the banquet, if something hadn't happened, how could she hide like this?
Her heart kept beating, and she popped up to her throat.
The crying was even louder.
Second Master Qin became more and more impatient when he heard this: "But a banquet, what can happen? Didn't Sui Ping and Hui Zhi go to Nancheng to visit the tea shop? Maybe something stumbled, when Hui Rong didn't get married before, didn't the second girl often go to the eldest girl's place to stay? There was so much tension there!"
He threw off his sleeves and said, "It's really long hair and short knowledge." ”
"The concubine is really restless in her body and mind. Seeing that Second Master Qin was impatient, Aunt Li accepted her crying, sobbed her sobbing on the ground, her voice was slow, and asked cautiously, "Why don't you go to see the fifth girl as a concubine?"
Second Master Qin glanced at her with squinting eyes, "What is your identity, go to the house of the concubine of the long house to ask about the five girls?"
Aunt Li's throat tightened, and her face turned camel red.
Second Master Qin finally sighed lightly, "That's it, I'll go and ask." ”
Aunt Li's face naturally changed from camel red to a faint pink, like rouge, Second Master Qin glanced at it, reached out and wiped the handkerchief on her face, pinched it and said, "Don't worry, the fifth girl is the master of the house after all." ”
But when he went to ask Mrs. Sun for peace, he mentioned Suiping, and Mrs. Sun mentioned Suiping, but she looked disgusted: "...... I don't know where the courage came from, but I have such a big heart. ”
Then he retreated from the crowd and whispered to him about the startled horse.
It's just that Mrs. Sun didn't know about the red medicine, and Qin Weien didn't say much, because she didn't mention the red medicine.
After learning the truth, Second Master Qin couldn't hide the shock in his eyes!
Since the eldest brother and mother already know it, they naturally have a way to deal with it - when the Su family came back from the banquet, the sixth girl was rumored to be infected with the "wind cold", and the Yuhua Pavilion was neatly staffed, and the small kitchen was used, except for the daily supplies, there was almost no contact with the outside world, and the news in the house was also strictly hidden, and the news was even hidden from the sister-in-law, which could be seen to be the handiwork of the eldest brother, and such a big matter, it was natural to show the mother.
As for not suing himself, he must be afraid that he will feel guilty.
I can only hate Aunt Li for wanting to ask for the news by herself, and she wants to take Sui Ping back, now that he knows the whole story, how can he be embarrassed to take Sui Ping back?
He immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It's all because the son has no way to teach him, and he let this unfilial daughter do such ugly things! Please punish the mother! The son will not ask for her!"
Mrs. Sun sighed deeply: "They are all girls from the Hou Mansion, they are all good in the Su Mansion, and when they come back from the banquet, we will immediately dispose of one, so how can we live the other?"
Second Master Qin didn't know what it was like in his heart.
The truth is this.
Several girls were fine at the banquet in Sufu, but when they returned home, they disposed of one, and it was not difficult for those who had a heart to guess that something happened on the road.
Although the incident of the frightened horse was covered up, once there was a rumor in the house that something similar to a certain girl "died violently" or was sent to the family temple, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be dug up by someone with a heart.
In this way, not only will it not be possible to protect the reputation of the fourth and sixth girls, but even the second lady Zhou may be implicated.
This will be a great blow to the reputation of the Qin Mansion.
Mrs. Sun continued to sigh: "What you said is also - the good girl's family came back from the banquet, but she didn't go back to her yard, and she couldn't tell why. That's it, you take her back, lock her up in the courtyard, and someone will take care of her. ”
Second Master Qin's heart sank, this was about to be placed under house arrest in the second room.
Mrs. Sun sent two useful mothers-in-law beside her to carry the green oil sedan chair to take Sui Ping to the second room, but she didn't expect the front foot to land, and the back foot sent the news in.
Yu Shi participated in the performance, he allowed his subordinates to do evil, and caused a lot of death!
When I opened the fold, I saw that the word red medicine stabbed in my eyes in a daze.
After reading the excerpt, Second Master Qin sat on the Taishi chair in a daze.
The gilded incense burner is lit with fine incense, and the bronze three-legged antique stove is lit with very little smoke silver charcoal, and the room is warm. But his heart seemed to sink into a frozen lake, cold and cold, like drinking a bowl of ice, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
He paused for a long time in the study, and then raised his legs to go to Ganyulou to find his eldest brother Qin Weien.
If something like this happens, the eldest brother will definitely have a way to cover it up. Certain.

When Aman entered the house with red date tea, Pei Lan was twisting her fingers and hesitating whether to send someone to sue Mrs. Sùhou. This is one of the most important events in a woman's life, and she does not dare to slack off.
Pei Lan worriedly handed the red date tea to the pale-faced Hui Zhi, who took it and drank it in small sips, the taste was sweet and fragrant, and it was hot to drink.
She finished drinking a bowl of tea, saw Pei Lan's frowning, and couldn't help asking: "On weekdays, I see Xian Fang frowning with a cold face every day, when did the good-tempered Pei Lan girl look like this?"
A look of teasing her.
"Girl, this is a big deal, the slave maid is wondering if to send someone to sue Mrs. Sù......"
"Don't. My mother's temperament, until this incident, must have come to see me, but I look like this," he said, pointing to the wound on his chin with his free fingertips, "what can she do if she sees it......? If she heard about the previous events, she didn't know how to complain about her father. ”
He handed the bowl to Amandao for another bowl, and then said to Pei Lan with a light smile: "Don't say it, you can't say it—I'm really worried, so ask Senior Sister Jiang to come and take a look at my pulse." ”
Pei Lan muttered in her heart, can't you sue Mrs. Sù about the affairs of this woman's family, can't you sue Mrs. Sù?
So he went out to find Jiang Caiqiong with a relaxed brow.
