234. Raid Tinglan Temple
Such an official empire, which has been built with great difficulty, is all used with the silver and connections of the past, to put it bluntly, these things are used up, and there will never be any more, and Aunt Mei will naturally not let go.
The two of them were talking, and someone from outside came to spread the word that Fang Qiye was locked up by Aunt Mei.
Fang Qirui and He Jiaxian were both stunned, now that Fang Yuhe is gone, Fang Qiye has only learned to clean up in the shop, why did he make trouble with Aunt Mei again?
The two of them hurriedly asked, Aunt Mei was drinking tea, calm and relaxed, as if nothing happened: "The third young master is impetuous, I persuaded him twice, but he didn't listen, and yelled at me...... I kept him awake for two days. ”
He said to Fang Qirui: "Since you are at home, go and watch the shop." ”
He Jiaxian didn't know for a while, whether Fang Qiye really collided with Aunt Mei and was imprisoned, or if Aunt Mei purely wanted Fang Qirui to take over the Fang family's property and was locked up, and was about to tell Fang Qirui in private, when he heard Fang Qirui say loudly: "Then wait for the third brother to calm down and then take care of it, I have my own business." If no one can take care of the Fang family's property, the rest will be sold and stored in Bao Qian's name. ”
After speaking, she didn't look at Aunt Mei's angry face, and pulled He Jiaxian to see Fang Qiye.
Fang Qiye admitted it very happily, his eyes flickered and glanced at Fang Qirui a few times, He Jiaxian knew that he was not telling the truth, and after Fang Qirui left, he turned back to look at him.
"Do you have something to say to me?" He Jiaxian asked through the window.
Fang Qiye saw that there was no one else, and the maid stood a few steps away before nodding and saying, "I heard that there is a person named Jixiang next to the second sister-in-law, and she has a good relationship with the second sister-in-law?" ”
He Jiaxian was caught off guard and looked vigilant: "What are you doing mentioning auspiciousness?" ”
Fang Qiye squinted his eyes, afraid that He Jiaxian would misunderstand, he had not been doing his job, and he should not be trusted, so he hurriedly explained: "Second sister-in-law, I don't mean anything else, but don't you think it's strange to die auspiciously?" ”
Jixiang committed suicide in prison before asking for beheading.
"What do you want to say?" He Jiaxian asked bluntly.
Fang Qiye said: "I still have some friends outside, Feng Yifei you know, his family has relatives who work as errands in the yamen, and said that before Jixiang died, Aunt Mei went to see her." ”
"So what?" Jixiang had received Aunt Mei's favor before, and it was normal for Aunt Mei to go to see her.
Was auspiciousness simply framed, or was it used to blame? Although He Jiaxian has always doubted Aunt E, there is no substantial evidence, and he is reluctant to think about it.
Although she and Aunt Mei don't have much affection, there is still a Fang Qirui in between.
"The second sister-in-law doesn't want to know the joints?" Fang Qiye asked.
He Jiaxian looked up at him, and saw Fang Qiye rubbing his hands and said, "You pass Bao Qian to my name, and I will tell you the cause of Jixiang's death." ”
He Jiaxian was cold, and he caught a glimpse of the greedy light in Fang Qiye's eyes, Bao Qian, this kid, if he followed such an uncle, what good could he do?
She thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "Jixiang is just a girl, she made a mistake and was punished by the law, what can be the cause of death, it is just suicide in fear of sin." ”
Fang Qiye hurriedly said: "I heard that the second sister-in-law treats Jixiang as a sister-in-law. ”
He Jiaxian couldn't help but feel sad, and laughed: "What did you say, a subordinate, what kind of girl should you be?" Although I'm not a big lady, I won't mess up my dignity. ”
Fang Qiye didn't expect that the news he inquired about was not true, he had seen that He Jiaxian was kind and pleasant to his subordinates, and he really thought that she had no respect and humility in her eyes.
There were some doubts for a while, He Jiaxian reasoned with his feelings, and sneered: "Bao Qian is now the only bloodline of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law are gone, as the only son-in-law of the Fang family, you should think more about the future of the Fang family." Don't have any bad ideas, otherwise your second brother won't be able to spare you. ”
Fang Qiye was a little afraid of Fang Qirui, and when he heard it, he said something else: "If you don't want to know, forget it." You didn't see it, as soon as I mentioned it to Aunt Mei, she jumped into a rage and quarreled with me. Usually pampered like a bodhisattva, jumping suddenly is really ugly. ”
He Jiaxian did not answer his words again.
If Fang Qiye is willing to investigate, let him investigate.
Bao Qian can't let go, he's just a child, if he teaches with his heart, his future is limitless.
Jixiangquan knows that he will definitely understand her painstaking efforts.
She spent so much time and effort investigating before, but she didn't find any clues, since she couldn't be rehabilitated for auspiciousness, what was the use of just knowing a cause of death?
Besides, she doesn't trust Fang Qiye either.
It is still necessary to start with Aunt Mei and Lu Yin.
Just thinking about it, I met Lu Yin on the road and saluted her: "Second grandma, there is something lost in the warehouse, when the family says, let you check this matter." ”
"I take my children to study, where do I have time." He Jiaxian refused with his mouth.
Lu Yin stared into her eyes and said with a smile: "The children's affairs, when the family knows in their hearts. The second grandmother still has to take care of the affairs of the family. When the family said that in the future, this family business will still have to be presided over by the second grandmother. ”
She hosts, what is the presiding position? Several uncles have been separated, and there is only one Fang Qiye left in the Fang family's big house, as well as a group of children and two aunts.
Aunt Shen and Aunt Lin are only looking forward to Aunt Mei, although they occasionally show favor to her, but they see clearly the situation that she is disliked by Aunt Mei, and they don't interact with her much.
As for Aunt Mei, when she encounters tricky things, she lets herself deal with them, saying that she wants to accumulate more prestige for her.
If it weren't for Fang Qirui saying not to make too much trouble before separating the family, so as not to involve a lot of troubles at that time, she would have fallen out with Aunt Mei and moved out earlier.
In the past, Chen's clear knife and gun, thinking about it, was really kind and kind.
Just thinking about it, I heard Lu Yin say: "When the family said, catch the thief and take the dirty, ask the second grandmother to lead someone to search the house and pick it up." Otherwise, it will be difficult for the subordinates to control it in the future. ”
He Jiaxian was noncommittal, bypassing Lu Yin and returning to Tinglan Courtyard, leaving Lu Yin's eyes with a resentful light.
Sydney came over to salute and said in surprise: "What about the little lady?" ”
He Jiaxian was stunned: "Isn't she in the yard?" ”
I immediately understood what Lu Yan meant by the phrase "children's affairs, when the family knows in their hearts" just now.
Lu Yan didn't know when she came from behind, and Yin Yang answered angrily: "Little Miss was picked up by her family just now to play." When the family said, the second grandmother just knew about it, don't always bother the second master. The second master is a person who does big things, and he always talks about these small things, which affect the relationship between your husband and wife. ”
This is a double threat to the child and Fang Qirui to force her to comply.
He Jiaxian understood, and said with a sneer: "Since this is the case, then pick it up." Copying ...... from my Tinglan Academy"
Lu Yan didn't expect her to take the knife on herself so calmly, but she was startled, and instantly calmed down: "Then the slave will go back to the family and send you a few competent people." ”
He Jiaxian knew that she was going back to report the news, but he ignored it, and sat in the courtyard waiting for Aunt Mei's decision.
"It's this trick again, what else will she do besides this trick to buy people's hearts?" Aunt Mei spoke out angrily, it is rare to have such a moment of big mood swings.
Every time she made trouble for He Jiaxian, she started from herself, from the masters, and set an example to block the mouths of those subordinates, and not offend both sides.
Aunt Mei hated her very much that she didn't treat her masters as her own, but colluded with her subordinates and said nonsense that "everyone is equal"!
If there is no dignity and humility, what is she doing as a concubine and deliberately sitting on the head of the family?
Such hypocrisy, such disgusting!
Aunt Mei gritted her teeth. When she was tortured by the Chen family as an aunt, no one said that everyone was equal.
Why waited for her to become the master, but He Jiaxian challenged her authority again and again? Can't let her get off the stage? If she is not selfish, she Mei Yaru really doesn't believe it!
Originally, I wanted to give He Jiaxian nothing to do, so as to teach her to recognize who is in charge of the family, bow her head when she should bow her head, and be like Aunt Shen and Aunt Lin, just respect her.
Since He Jiaxian is shameless and stubborn, it is no wonder that she does not give face to her son.
Seeing that Aunt Mei had changed several expressions, Lu Yan said, "When you are a family, do you want stolen goods?" ”
What was agreed before was to let He Jiaxian copy it for nothing, and nothing could be copied, so she said that it was groundless, so that He Jiaxian would take refuge in her.
At this point she changed her mind.
"The slave put the things in Mother Song's girl's Caiqing room." Lu Yin is such a smart person, she knew what she was thinking about when she saw Aunt Mei's expression, and said with a smile: "Mother Song is a powerful person, if the girl is wronged......"
"She's just Aunt Lin's side, what can she do?" Aunt Mei disagreed, pursed her lips, and whispered a name.
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said in a half-loud voice: "Then what if it's another diehard?"
"It would be better if it was a diehard......" Aunt Mei pursed her lips and laughed.
Lu Yin shuddered, secretly glad that the people around her Aunt Mei were not her enemies.
He Jiaxian kept an eye on it, and didn't let the people around him pick it up, and when the people sent by Aunt Mei came, he let a few of them take the lead.
Who knows, Tinglan Courtyard was the first to be copied, and it was the first to be copied out of the stolen goods.
Sydney's face turned pale, looking at the two red coral trimples that she copied out, she was so frightened that she couldn't possess her body, and kept shouting that she was wronged.
When he heard this, he saw his daughter-in-law kowtowing on the ground, and when he understood the reason, he argued: "The young husband and wife have been taking the monthly rules in the house, and they are not short of food or clothing, how can they do such a thing?" ”
If He Jiaxian didn't know that Sydney was wronged, he would be really stupid.
It's just that the evidence is conclusive at this time, and it can't be justified, so after thinking for a while, he ordered someone to close the courtyard door, quietly invited Fang Qirui back, and said to the people who stayed: "It doesn't matter, this red coral is a good thing, it is said to be something in the deep sea." I've heard that if you stick to your hands, at night, your palms will be as bright as candles. ”
Saying that, he ordered Hongmei to go to the house and get a copy of "Sou Shen Ji" and threw it on the ground: "There is a record in the book, and those who are literate can take it and take a look." ”
"Slaves are not, slaves are not." Sydney was overjoyed when she heard this.
He Jiaxian said coldly: "You don't have to shout grievances, if it were you, I would definitely handle it impartially." It's just that it's still early, and everyone is in Tinglan Courtyard, waiting for dark. I don't have to work in the afternoon. ”
The rest of the people looked at each other when they heard this, but one of the maids did not change their face, nor did they look at others.
He Jiaxian pointed at her: "You come out." ”
The maid stood up and listened to He Jiaxian: "You copied it just now, and you have already touched it." If there is no second person besides you, then you are the one who planted the blame. If someone else has touched it, your suspicion can be ruled out. ”
The maid is blessed: "The slave can be saved." ”
Fang Qirui's second uncle was confused, He Jiaxian said the story in a low voice, and Fang Qirui said: "Then what did you ask me to come back for?" ”
He Jiaxian said: "Harmony is the person next to you, wait a minute, if Aunt Mei is in trouble, where am I her opponent, I asked you to come back to escort you." ”
Fang Qirui understood, agreed with a smile, and went to tell Heqi not to worry.
He followed Fang Qirui out of the house, tired enough, so He Jiaxian took care of the Sydney family, if he left his heart because of this, where would he find such a loyal and available person for a while?
Sure enough, Aunt Mei heard that He Jiaxian had closed the courtyard door and detained everyone in the house, so she immediately rushed over with someone.
It's just that in the face of the obstruction and hippie smile of his biological son Fang Qirui, he really can't pull down his face to hit him.
She only has this son, if she is cold again, she will become a lonely person in heaven and earth.
He Jiaxian, she can not care, Fang Qirui can't!
It was not evening yet, but it was only about an hour, and Hongmei, who had been advised by He Jiaxian, pulled out a mother-in-law: "You stole the coral!" ”
"Wronged, wronged......" The mother-in-law was shocked and immediately cried: "It's not night...... The mother-in-law has nothing in her hands......"
"Yes, it's not just you, they're staring at the light all the time, and they're not." Hongmei smiled: "But only you keep rubbing your hands on your clothes, and you keep sweating coldly......"
"That's because the old slave is afraid of the heat."
"Whether you're afraid of the heat or not, you'll find out in a moment." Hongmei sneered, "It's clear that you want to be a bad pear for Sydney, just look at our grandmother's good temper." ”
"But the second grandmother also said just now, it doesn't matter if you don't usually take her in your eyes, but whoever bullies Tinglan Courtyard will never be spared." As he spoke, he drank to the Chunxing of Tinglan Courtyard and a few of them: "Bring the needle until this mother tells the truth." ”
Hongmei's momentum was quite powerful when she gave the order: "If you pierce a hundred blood holes, my mother won't say it, I can only stab a few of you again, the second grandmother said, planting blame, so many of you go in together, it's impossible not to see it." If you don't report it, you will be treated as an accomplice. ”
Saying that, Chunxing and the others had already held the steel needle for embroidery, and stabbed the mother-in-law's juniors fiercely, only to hear a miserable scream, but the mother-in-law bit to death and did not speak.
This kind of pickled matter, Aunt Mei naturally doesn't use the people close to her, most of them are low-class servants in the house, and they don't understand that lynching can't be used. I just think that the second grandmother is powerful! One by one, they were scared and trembling.
After ten stitches, the woman still gritted her teeth.
