Chapter 566: The Man Has Passed Away
Wu Yu flattered Old Madam Wu vigorously, but Old Madam Wu's face became more and more gloomy, and the sneer on the corner of her mouth became deeper and deeper. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Qin Su asked again at this time, "What about after coming down from the mountain, have you ever heard of any major events?"
Wu Yu and Xia Yu glanced at each other, but this time, it was Xia Yu who opened her mouth and said: "Back to the sixth lady, we didn't hear anything big about it later, that is, the day after returning home, we heard that Aunt Wen died on the mountain." However, at that time, it was really chaotic, and the epidemic was not completely gone, Yingchuan was dying all day long, even the people we knew were dying every day, and we just sighed a few words. ”
The room suddenly became so quiet that even the sound of breathing seemed to fade away.
Aunt Wen herself, even juniors have heard of her, she is Qin Shihong's biological mother, if she is not from a concubine, Qin Yanya will call her grandmother.
Speaking of which, since the death of Qin Shizhang, with the acquiescence of Mrs. Tai, the east and west courtyards have been officially divided into rooms, and the original "grandmother of the east courtyard" and "grandmother of the west courtyard" are now also called uncles and grandmothers according to the rules of dividing the rooms. And Qin Yanya and Yu's room were embarrassed because of their identities, so they still continued to use the title of "Mrs. of the East Courtyard" or "Old Lady of the East Courtyard" to avoid the trouble of the title.
Everyone pondered what Xia Yu said, and always felt that the unfinished meaning was a little awe-inspiring.
At this time, Xia Yu's voice sounded again, with an indescribable desolation: "Actually, which family did not die at that time? Even the hundreds of families who were tenants with us, more than half of them died in the water, and few of the rest could survive the epidemic and mountain fires of that year, so when we heard Aunt Wen's death, we listened to it, alas......"
She sighed and stopped narrating.
Everyone fell silent, and many of them were full of compassion.
The catastrophe back then was really tragic, even if you only listened to the oral accounts of these two old women, you could feel the scene of thousands of miles of red land at that time.
Qin Su was not in a hurry to speak, but waited for the silence to last for a while, leaving time for everyone to clear their thoughts, before he said, "Since you said it first...... Aunt Wen, I remembered that Zhou Yu also mentioned to me an old incident in Yingchuan, and coincidentally, this matter is also related to Aunt Xianwen. At this point, she turned her eyes to look at Zhou Yu and said in a harmonious voice: "If you are willing, I want to ask you to tell you about that matter again." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Tai's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened a slit, and her sharp eyes shot straight at Zhou Yu next to her.
As if sensing Mrs. Tai's gaze, Zhou Yu bowed quietly and said, "When I was in Lianyun, I had dealings with the sixth lady, and I talked about these gossips a few words at that time. ”
Mrs. Tai was slightly relieved, puzzled and puzzled, stared at her for a while, and then looked at Qin Su on the opposite side with an indifferent expression, and sighed suddenly.
"That's it, you name it. Mrs. Tai tiredly raised her hand and pressed the corner of her forehead, and said in a hoarse voice.
Zhou Yu answered yes, then turned to Qin Su, bowed and said: "Since Mrs. Tai has an order, then I will say it, and the incident I said should also start from the time of the mountain fire in Yingchuan......
She began to tell the story in a vague manner, starting from going up the mountain with Wen's family, until everyone found out that Wen's was stoned to death by the river before stopping, after a short pause, she finally said: "Because people often die at that time, after this matter was reported to the old patriarch, the old patriarch didn't say much, only called a few young servants to go up the mountain, and buried Aunt Wen's body on the spot, and the matter passed." ”
Speaking of this, she bowed to Qin Su and retreated to Mrs. Tai's side.
There was a muffled sobbing sound in the room.
The one who cried was Yu.
At this moment, her face was as white as paper, her eyes were red, tears were falling in strings, and a large piece of cloth was already wet on the cloth.
Even though the Wen family is just a concubine, she is still Qin Shenghong's biological mother, and such a tragic death is indeed embarrassing, not to mention, she died a little unclear.
The more Yu cried, the more sad he became, and he didn't know whether he was sorry for Wen's tragic death, but because he was heartbroken by some long-buried facts that had begun to see the light of day today.
Qin Su thought indifferently, raised his eyes to look at Old Madam Wu, and asked, "Grandmother hurriedly went down the mountain at that time, and tried her best to stop Xia and Wu Eryu from going up the mountain, but I don't know why?"
As soon as she spoke, there was a suffocating silence in the room.
This extremely sharp question made everyone's attention focus on Old Madam Wu.
Old Madam Wu smiled coldly, straightened her back, and said coldly: "How can I remember the events of so many years ago? Liu Niang has this heart, it is better to think more about how to end up today, and it is simply stupid to put your mind on these old things! Sure enough, this low-born person is always unreasonable!"
In the end, she couldn't help but have a trace of deep resentment, and she didn't know if it was Qin Su or others she resented.
Qin Su didn't care, and said with a light smile: "Thank you grandmother for your teachings, Liuniang keep it in mind." But then again, you don't remember those old things, but others may not remember them, so I'll call Jiang Yu to come and talk back. ”
Suddenly hearing the word "Jiang Fei", Mrs. Wu's face sank as soon as she "brushed".
At that moment, her eyes when she looked at Qin Su were extremely cold, as if she had a killing intent.
However, at this time and now, there are more than 20 guards behind Qin Su alone, and in Dehui Hall, except for Zhou Yu, half of the subordinates, servants and guards of the Qin family are gone.
After raising her head and looking around, Old Madam Wu's momentum weakened significantly, and her body collapsed involuntarily, although her face was still gloomy, but the aura exuded by her whole person became decadent and even decayed.
After looking at Qin Su for a while, Old Madam Wu's always stiff expression finally changed slightly: "Liuniang, you are ...... Why bother?" she said in a different voice, her voice trembling slightly, and there was a hint of begging on her old face, "Grandmother has always treated you well, why are you so troubled?"
When she said these words, her voice was slightly choked, and she sounded so pitiful.
Qin Su's heart was as hard as iron, and he was not moved at all, but smiled lightly: "Grandmother's words, how kind." But I believe in another possibility, if I were alone here today, I would be afraid of ...... Grandmother wouldn't have spoken softly like this, but would have killed me with a cane in the hall, yes or no?" she said with a faint smile, only her voice became colder and colder: "Who called me a lowly outer room girl, my life is not much more noble than that of a cheap slave." ”
