Chapter 453: The eldest lady loses power
The fire was not completely extinguished until the sky was slightly bright, and when the next person went in to clean up, he found a corpse inside, and he was immediately startled, the men of the Jin family were not at home, only a few hostesses were there, everyone heard the news, and they rushed to see it for the first time, but they didn't dare to look at it, and they avoided it.
Jin Zhao looked at the study that was burned to ashes, and then looked at the charred black object, his face turned pale, and he stepped back a little in a hurry, fortunately Yuqi was holding him, otherwise he might have fallen to the ground.
Only Jin Xin, walked over with a calm face, followed by the green behind him, his eyes were red and swollen like walnuts and he couldn't bear to look at the object hard, and when he got closer, he glanced at the green jade pendant hanging around his neck, and the whole person mourned, and he couldn't care about being afraid, he didn't care that it was an inanimate corpse, and he suddenly pounced on it, his dry eyes were filled with tears again, and he choked up: "Grandma, grandma, why are you so stupid?" Why can't you think about it so much, and do such a stupid thing! You are like this, the second master is in the spirit of heaven, how sad it should be! ”
Later, Green Dress also pounced on him and cried.
Jin Xin stood in place with trembling shoulders, looking at the unrecognizable body, the whole person was cold from the top of her head to the soles of her feet, so cold that she shivered, she was even numb and weak, and she couldn't stand steadily.
Ziqin, who was shocked in the back, reacted quickly and quickly supported her.
Jin Xin held Ziqin's hand tightly, his cold fingertips seemed to be infectious, and after a while, Ziqin's hand was also cold.
Ziqin looked at her worriedly: "Madam......"
Behind him, everyone was stunned, looking at the scene in front of them, they always felt that there was an auditory hallucination, and they didn't understand what was going on.
Jin Liu's face was clear, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Jin Zhao, who was bowing his head and his face was pale, and said coldly: "What a sin!" ”
As he spoke, regardless of how scary the situation in front of him was, he walked inside, grabbed Jin Xin's hand, and persuaded softly: "Five girls, let's mourn and change." ”
She looked at Ziqin: "Send her back to rest first, I will deal with the matter here." ”
Ziqin saw that Jin Xin's face was not very good, and she was not worried about letting her continue to stay here, so she nodded, and left with Jin Xin.
Jin Xin had no soul at this time, let Ziqin hold him, and left with Ziqin.
Over there, Green Turnkey and Green Clothes were still crying.
Jin Liushi glanced at the other stunned subordinates and said, "What are you doing standing stupidly?" Carry a deputy stretcher and store Aunt Zhao's body well. ”
"Yes! Three Ladies! ”
Jin Xin Youziqin carried back to Wutong Garden, sat there, and didn't speak for a long time.
Qiaoqiao has been looking for her, and when she saw her coming back, she stepped forward, but Jin Xin was not in good shape and didn't give Qiaoqiao any response, which made Qiaoqiao a little sad.
Ziqin pulled Qiao Qiao aside, comforted her, and said, "Little young master, Madame is not in a good mood now, let's not disturb her, okay?" ”
"Why is my mother in a bad mood?"
"Because...... Something very sad happened. ”
Qiao Qiao looked at Ziqin in confusion.
Ziqin smiled, touched his little head, and glanced at Zhang's mother on the side, who came to her senses and took Qiaoqiao out.
After Qiaoqiao left, Ziqin came to Jin Xin's side again, poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Madam, take a sip of tea." ”
Jin Xin held the teacup blankly, didn't drink it, just held it, her out-of-focus eyes looked ahead, and said: "Ziqin, you said, the courtyard where my father used to live has been sealed for so long, she is so late, what are you going to do there?" And how can it catch fire? ”
Ziqin looked at Jin Xin's pale face, and didn't know how to answer, some things, in fact, it is not difficult to perceive the truth, but I am afraid that the parties will be difficult to accept.
Although the relationship between Jin Xin and Aunt Zhao is not very good, but it is a mother and daughter, especially in recent years, the relationship is much better than in the past, and now that Aunt Zhao has such a thing, how can Jin Xin not feel it?
She was really worried that Jin Xin would not be able to bear it.
"Ziqin, it's all at this juncture, aren't you going to sue me yet?"
Jin Xin's voice was full of exhaustion.
Ziqin was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and finally said: "Madam, I think my aunt committed suicide by burning herself." If the reason is concerned, it is mostly related to the fact that the eldest lady came to her before. ”
Jin Xin's eyes fluctuated, and there was a smile without warmth: "Sure enough, the fire was not accidental, it was intentional by her." ”
After a pause, Jin Xin said again: "Didn't my mother leave a letter?" I just let you there, didn't I? ”
Ziqin took out the letter and handed it to Jin Xin.
Jin Xin took it, took it apart, and looked at it.
The content of the letter is actually not much, it is very simple, but it mentions two things, one is to hope that he can be buried with the second master Jin Kezhen after death, and the other is to hope that Jin Xin can take good care of himself and his children and live a happy life.
Jin Xin looked at the letter and pinched the letter with his fingertips.
Strictly speaking, Aunt Zhao is not her real mother, but the original owner of this body, that is, the original mother of Jin Xin. However, in the end, after getting along for many years, she has feelings, not to mention that she can also feel that Aunt Zhao secretly cares for her, so when she saw this letter, the touch in her heart could not be said to be small, and there was even a vague feeling of sourness.
She folded the letter again and put it back in the envelope, and said to Ziqin behind her: "Ziqin, go and prepare well, I want to do my mother's funeral solemnly." ”
Ziqin was stunned: "Madam, do you want to do it solemnly?" After all, my aunt is just an aunt, which doesn't quite conform to the rules, right? ”
Jin Xin's face was very firm: "She can also be regarded as my father's wife, and she gave birth to my father's only child, so why not handle the aftermath for her seriously?" ”
Ziqin heard Jin Xin say this, lowered her head slightly, and responded: "Yes." ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Jin Liushi came to find Jin Xin, looked at Jin Xin's suddenly haggard face, comforted a lot, and solemnly instructed: "Since the matter has happened, there is no way to change it." You have to take care of yourself, but don't break your body. ”
Jin Xin looked at Jin Liu's and said with a smile: "Thank you uncle for your concern." ”
"Don't worry, I will help with Aunt Zhao's funeral."
"Uncle, let me do this matter myself."
"You're going to do it yourself?" Jin Liushi was surprised and looked at Jin Xin: "You are like this, are you sure you want to come by yourself?" ”
"Hmm. I'll just do it myself. ”
"I'll do it anyway......"
Jin Xin held Jin Liu's hand and said seriously: "Uncle, let me come." Having lived this old and never did anything for my mother, this was the last thing I could do for her. ”
Hearing what she said, Jin Liushi didn't want to say anything, so he just nodded, "Okay, if you need me, just say it, I will help you from the side." ”
Jin Xin smiled reluctantly and nodded.
After talking about this matter, Jin Liushi looked at Jin Xin, and stopped talking a little.
Jin Xin said: "Does my uncle have anything to say?" Just say it straight. ”
Jin Liushi asked, "Fifth girl, aren't you going to investigate the cause and effect of Aunt Zhao's incident?" ”
Jin Xin's eyes froze, and he smiled: "Do you still need to check?" Uncle, a person with a bit of a brain, has a mirror in her heart. ”
"Then you ......"
"Uncle, I'm a little tired." Jin Xin interrupted Jin Liu's words.
Jin Liu had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll go back first." You have a good rest. Relax, don't be too sad. ”
Jin Xin nodded, called a maid outside, and sent Jin Liu's out.
After Jin Liu's left, Jin Xin felt a headache, and just wanted to go to bed and lie down for a while, when he saw Ziqin walk in from outside and said, "The eldest lady is here." ”
Jin Xin was stunned for a moment and sneered: "Heh, I still don't dare to come today as if she was her." ”
She sat back down and said, "We'll wait for her to come in." ”
Not long after saying that, Jin Zhao entered the door.
Jin Xin didn't move, he always sat there, looking at Jin Zhao's with a smile on his face, but that smile made people look panicked.
"The eldest aunt is here." Jin Xin said to Jin Zhao, his attitude was cold and detached.
When Jin Zhao saw Jin Xin's attitude, his face was not very good-looking.
She walked over and asked, "How's it going?" Are you okay? ”
"I just experienced the pain of losing my mother, how much better does my aunt think it will be?"
Jin Zhao frowned, Jin Xin was obviously prickly now, which made people very uncomfortable to listen to.
However, thinking of Aunt Zhao's death, she felt a strong uneasiness in her heart, looking at Jin Xin, she was weak and couldn't get angry.
Jin Xin looked at Jin Zhao's appearance, and suddenly said, "Auntie, I'm thinking about investigating the cause of my mother's death." ”
When Jin Zhao heard this, his expression changed: "What? ”
"Isn't it strange? She is so dignified, why did she get there in the middle of the night? He also lost his life. No matter how you think about it, you feel that there is a reason for it. Jin Xin said to himself as if he hadn't seen Jin Zhao's sudden face.
Jin Zhao's brows furrowed even tighter, and he didn't answer.
"Auntie, I heard that you came to my mother a few days ago. May I ask, what did you all say at the time? ”
"What are you asking for?" Jin Zhao asked vigilantly.
Jin Xin smiled and said, "I think, maybe there are some clues in it that can find out the reason for my mother's accident." Didn't she give you a message at the time? ”
Jin Zhao avoided her gaze and said, "It's just the short words of some parents." There's nothing strange about it. ”
When Jin Xin heard this, he looked at her meaningfully: "Really? ”
Jin Zhao's face was stiff, and he said: "I see that you are not in a good state now, let me deal with your mother's affairs." ”
"No need, auntie. I can handle it well. ”
Jin Zhao said: "How can this work? ”
"Why can't it be?" Jin Xin said: "Auntie, I am not a fragile person. ”
"You're ...... like that"
"But I do need a break now."
Jin Xin ordered the eviction of customers in disguise.
Jin Zhao couldn't hear it, even if he was unwilling, he had no choice but to respond: "Okay." Then you can rest first, and as for this matter, when you are well rested, we will talk about it. ”
Jin Xin said: "No need. Auntie, I have made up my mind, so I will do what I say. ”
Jin Zhao's face was displeased, and it was not good to make trouble with her openly, so he had to endure it first and go back.
Jin Xin looked at her back as she left, hooked her lips and said sarcastically: "She really has the guts to force someone to death, and now she is embarrassed to take care of the aftermath for others." ”
Ziqin frowned and said, "I'm afraid I want to have peace of mind." ”
"It's strange that she's settled. Don't you see the apprehension in her eyes? ”
Ziqin was silent, Jin Zhao was so clumsy in disguise, she naturally saw it.
Jin Xin didn't really let people investigate the cause of Aunt Zhao's death, and everyone in the house regarded this incident as an accident, but everyone knew very well in their hearts that this matter had nothing to do with Jin Zhao's family. In any case, forcing a life to death for his own selfish desires is very immoral, and the Jin Zhao family gradually lost the hearts of the people in the house because of this relationship.
Next, Jin Xin really took care of Aunt Zhao's funeral by himself.
Jin Zhao and Jin Liu didn't have much of an opinion, and she handled it, but when Jin Xin planned to bury Aunt Zhao's ashes with Jin Kezhen's coffin, Jin Zhao was the first to jump out and object.
The reason is nothing more than non-conformity.
But Jin Xin's attitude was very tough, and he didn't allow anything to say at all, regardless of the obstacles, he just buried his parents together.
repaired Jin Kezhen's tomb again, erected a stone stele, added the name of Aunt Zhao, put on incense, burned paper, and completely took care of it.
This matter was done behind the back of the Jin Zhao family.
Later, when Jin Zhao learned about it, he was furious and asked people to tie up Jin Xin and use family law against her.
Jin Xin straightened his waist and stood there, and said angrily: "Who dares to touch me!" ”
The maid-in-law who stepped forward was shocked by her momentum, and all of them stood in place, not daring to step forward again.
Jin Zhao didn't expect Jin Xin to be so imposing, so he was stunned, and accused Jin Xin of ignoring the family rules.
After finishing speaking, Jin Xin in turn questioned her about her selfishness and greed for the second room key.
Jin Xin spoke so plainly in front of everyone, it was clear that she was losing the face of Jin Zhao's family, so that she couldn't get off the stage at all.
At that time, Aunt Yin was also present, seeing that Jin Zhao's face was so angry that she was blue and red, she couldn't say that Jin Xin could not speak for Jin Zhao, what did she think, Jin Xin stepped forward and gave Aunt Yin a loud slap.
"Aunt Yin, right?"
Jin Xin looked at her coldly: "If I'm not mistaken, you got married twenty years ago, aren't you from the Jin Mansion?" What's going on in our Jinfu now, what are you doing here as an outsider? What does blind ginseng go with? ”
Aunt Yin didn't expect Jin Xin to make a move, and she was a little stunned for a while.
Jin Xin didn't give her a chance to react, and directly ordered her subordinates: "Come on, blast this unmeasured outsider out for me!" ”
At that moment, a family member came up, and Aunt Yin took people out.
Aunt Yin hurriedly called for help from Jin Zhao's family, Jin Zhao's family had the heart to save her, but no matter what, the subordinates only listened to Jin Xin, and they couldn't stop it at all.
Jin Zhao looked at the scene in front of her in surprise, and when she came back to her senses, she realized what Jin Xin had done, she pointed at Jin Xin and scolded: "Jin Xin, what are you doing!" Do you still have me as an aunt in your eyes? ”
Jin Xin sneered: "Auntie, do you have a niece like me in your eyes?" ”
"You ......"
Jin Liushi stood up at the right time and said, "Okay." Sister-in-law, even if you rely on the identity of the eldest lady of the Jin family, you are not qualified to say it now. ”
Jin Zhao looked at Jin Liu in a daze: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Jin Liushi sighed: "Sister-in-law, don't you really want me to say it so clearly, right?" What did you do to Aunt Zhao, Jin Xin may not know, but there are so many people in the house, do you think you don't know? ”
Hearing Jin Liu's mention of Aunt Zhao, Jin Zhao's face became unnatural, and he said in a weak heart: "What nonsense are you talking about!" What does Zhao Zijun's death have to do with me? ”
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you ask yourself, you know better than anyone else."
Jin Liu said coldly.
Jin Zhao glared at Jin Liu, wanting to argue, but suddenly felt that many pairs of eyes fell on him, cold, disdainful, ridiculed, and even hostile, in his life, Jin Zhao was so wolf for the first time, he was at a loss, and if he wanted to refute, he seemed to be choked in his throat and couldn't speak.
On this day, the Jin Zhao clan lost power.
After all, Aunt Zhao committed suicide, even if Jin Xin wanted to deal with Jin Zhao's family, she couldn't care about it, anyway, it was already the biggest punishment for her to lose power in the Jin family.
After taking care of Aunt Zhao's funeral, Jin Xin also felt that there was no need to continue to stay in the Jin family.
The night before leaving, she called Luan Ming and handed her the key to the second room.
Luan Ming was taken aback: "Fifth Miss, what are you doing here?" ”
Jin Xin stuffed the key directly into Luan Ming's palm and said: "Now the Jin family is scattered, in this big family, all of them are selfish, all of them are planning for themselves, if they continue like this, even if they have gold and silver, they will be defeated sooner or later." Sister Luan Ming, you are the person that your grandmother values the most, and I can also see that you are really for the good of the Jin family and a trustworthy person. Giving the Jin family to you will be more reassuring than handing it over to others, grandmother is in the spirit of heaven. ”
"But Miss Five, I'm just a subordinate......"
"Sister Luan Ming, you forgot, you are now the righteous daughter of the Jin family. Not an outsider. ”
"But ......"
"Besides, don't you also plan to never marry for the rest of your life? Isn't this just right, you can help your uncle take care of the Jin family, and on the other hand, there is no reason for people to blame you for being an idler. ”
Jin Xin said with a smile.
Luan Ming listened to these words and wanted to say anything more, but Jin Xin blocked them back, and she looked down at the key in her palm. After hesitating for a long time, he said solemnly: "Okay, since Miss Five, you can trust me." I won't let you or the old lady down. ”
"Hmm. I know you're doing a good job. ”
Jin Xin smiled and nodded.
The next day, Jin Xin left the Jin family mansion with Ziqin and the children with simple luggage.
When Luan Ming sent them out, he asked, "Are you coming back?" ”
Jin Xin smiled: "No." ”
