Chapter 121: Report to the Officer
The one-year-old child made a fuss, and couldn't find out why, Yan felt sorry for her grandson, but she was also empty in her heart, there was no other way to do this except to play a scoundrel, but the second room didn't eat this set.
She didn't have a place to go, so she distributed all the maids who followed her grandson, including a nurse who had been serving for more than a year, and then went to Xufeng Courtyard to see her grandson, with a white cloth wrapped around her forehead, and the doctor said that she was still young and would not leave a scar if she recovered.
Shui Ruoqian walked in, followed by a maid with medicine in her hand, Yan took the bowl and wanted to feed the medicine herself, Shui Ruoqian hugged Shen Zhuozhuo, "Mother, you take a rest, I'll come." ”
Shen Zhuozhuo, who was injured, finally settled down a lot, although he still turned his head twice in three mouthfuls when he took the medicine, and he fed some of it, and his bitter tears were full of tears, and Yan's was even more distressed when he saw it.
"Madam, someone in the second room hurriedly went out, and the mother-in-law at the door said that she had invited a doctor when she came back." A mother came in and first glanced at Shui Ruoqian, and then reported to Yan's family.
"I just invited a doctor in the afternoon, why am I invited again now, go to the second room to inquire." Yan's heart was stunned, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, how could there be anything good in the doctor, if it was dark today, something must have happened in such a hurry.
Just as Yan was speculating about what was going on in the second room, in the scholarly courtyard, Chu Yiyao sat on the edge of the bed and changed a towel and put it on Kang'er's forehead, and Kang'er, who had fallen asleep, kept muttering words in her mouth, and her hot face was red.
"Bring me soft gauze." Chu Yiyao touched his face, took the soft gauze from Bao Sheng's hand, dipped warm water in the cup, and gently wiped it on his lips.
Mother Qian was worried on the side, and the doctor came to see that it was a fever caused by fright, and she was not sure when the fever would go down.
"Miss, you go and rest for a while, just leave it to me here." The time had passed, and the peacock came in with the medicine and begged Chu Yiyao to rest for a while.
Chu Yiyao shook his head and took the medicine, took the spoon and fed it to Kang'er little by little, most of the food flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and it took him enough time to feed a stick of incense before Chu Yiyao let him drink half a bowl.
The children are like this, how can she rest well, and she feels more at ease when she accompanies him and looks at him.
"Even this iron-beaten body also needs to rest, if you collapse, what should the little young master do, the second lady still doesn't know the situation, if she knows tomorrow, she will definitely talk about you." Mother Qian persuaded on the side, the death of the upper and lower seals of the scholarly courtyard did not let the second lady know about the little young master's frightened fever, and planned to talk about it tomorrow so as not to let the second lady sleep well that night.
"It's such a small thing, just apologize." Chu Yiyao took his son's hand, and his words gradually cooled down a little,
"If I have to make a fuss about the child, if she still wants to make trouble, why should I care about it anymore."
Mother Qian sighed, "Miss, now that you are in the Shen Mansion, how can you live if it is too noisy." ”
"Stay?" Chu Yiyao snorted and raised her voice, "I don't want to stay in this place for a day if I can't live in this place, what's wrong with her, why should I be angry if I don't rely on her to raise her, nurse, some people you can put up with her to know how to advance and retreat, these people, once you put up with it, she will catch up with a rake, and it is not her character to be forced to a dead end!" ”…
Chu Yiyao didn't sleep all night, and the fever finally subsided the next day, Guan Clana also knew about her grandson's fever, and hurried to visit, seeing Chu Yiyao's haggard look, urging her to go to rest quickly.
"Mother, I'm out of the way, I'm in good health." Chu Yiyao smiled, she was really not sleepy, she wiped Kang'er's body in the second half of the night, and she was relieved to see that the child's temperature had come down, and now she was waiting for Kang'er to wake up, and it was always more reassuring to have her mother by her side.
Guan looked at her helplessly, yesterday the sister-in-law came to her to complain, saying that her daughter-in-law had no respect for the elders, and actually yelled at the eldest aunt, an elder, and spoke disrespectfully. It's not that she doesn't understand the situation, the eldest brother still sent someone to inform her, otherwise how could the sister-in-law give up so easily, speaking of Yiyao's character, she absolutely believes that this is the sister-in-law's trouble.
"The old man is sick now and he doesn't care about this matter, Yue'er is injured is a fact, I sent someone to send something over this morning, you just take good care of Kang'er."
"Mother, it's not that we can do it, do you see that the eldest aunt has a little calming meaning, last night she also sent someone here to inquire about why she invited the doctor, now she knows that Kang'er is sick and I don't know how happy she is, this child has suffered three or four times, which is the handwriting of the eldest aunt, and there will be more and no less such things in the days to come." Calm things also have to cooperate with the two rooms, and the eldest aunt should have the attitude of calming down.
Guan Shi listened to her tough attitude, and remembered what her husband said last night, her son was born to her, she still doesn't know this temper, she looks good to talk, but in fact, she is very stubborn, and her daughter-in-law is even more so, it is absolutely impossible to let the two children live like them.
Thinking of this, Guan Shi was a little relieved, half a life has passed, there are children and grandchildren, and his son's affairs have always been his own decision, so let them continue to be in charge, why should she meddle at this time, so she asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Chu Yiyao took a deep breath and said slowly, "Mother, when Shixuan comes back this time, let's split up, if the old man doesn't agree, let's take a step back and move out." "First mention the separation, Old Man Shen disagreed, and then mentioned moving out.
"Shixuan still helps the family's business, as soon as the old man's Chrysostom opened, we will fight for what should be argued, and we can feel at ease when we move out, we can make our own decisions in everything, and we can live comfortably." Chu Yiyao didn't believe it, Old Man Shen wanted to see that this grandson had no way to live before he let go.
Guan nodded, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Kang'er lying on the bed moving, and said in surprise, "Wake up." ”
Chu Yiyao looked back, Kang'er opened her moist eyes, looked at herself with a hazy look, and shouted glutinously, "Mother." ”
How much fatigue has been relieved by this mother, Chu Yiyao is not a very emotional person, her eyes are a little moist at this moment, and she responded softly, "Mother is here." ”
After tossing all night and finally waking up, the scholars breathed a sigh of relief, although the fever had not yet subsided, but after the doctor came, he said that it would get better soon, and Chu Yiyao's hanging heart finally fell.
Two days later, Xufeng Courtyard sent something, saying that it was for the child to make up for his body, and it was easy to hollow out his body after a high fever, and he needed to make up for it, Chu Yiyao didn't even look at the box, so he asked Baosheng to take it out and dispose of it, and held his son and fed him rice paste bite by bite.
Suddenly, there was a movement at the door, and the peacock walked in, saying that Mother Li had caught someone over.
When I walked out, a maid was kneeling in the yard tied up by five flowers, and behind her was Mother Li with two mothers-in-law, Mother Li saw Chu Yiyao come out to report, "Grandma, I've waited so long, but I can't wait until she makes a move." ”
Chu Yiyao slowly walked down the steps, saw that the maid lowered her head and did not speak, and said lightly, "Xiao Tao, I can take you not thin." ”
When Xiao Tao heard this, she began to kowtow to her and admit her mistake, "Second young grandmother, Xiao Tao knows that she is wrong, and begs the second young grandmother to spare Xiao Tao this time." ”
Chu Yiyao ignored her and turned to look at Mother Li, Mother Li understood, and took out a bag of things from Xiao Tao's body, "When she was arrested, she was pouring this powder into the medicine jar of the eldest young master." ”
Chu Yiyao looked at the brown powder, and her expression was unfazed, "Go to her house and search." ”
Several mothers-in-law quickly searched Xiao Tao's house together, and found a box containing fifty taels of silver from it, as well as some broken silver, and found one more bag of such a powder package, which she carefully placed in the gap between the bed boards.
"Peacock, take this to the doctor, Mother Li, I'll leave this torture to you." Chu Yiyao handed over the two bags of things to the peacock to take away, and Mother Li nodded again and again, "Grandma, please rest assured, I will definitely ask for the truth." As he spoke, he asked the two mothers-in-law to escort them to the backyard of the Scholar's Courtyard.
Chu Yiyao returned to the house, and as soon as Kang Er saw her, she was about to stick over, as if she was thinking about Shen Shixuan, and grabbed a small cloth tiger that Shen Shixuan bought for him and called Daddy.
Chu Yiyao kissed his forehead gently, "Kang'er, Daddy will be back soon, and when he comes back, we will move out." ”
Kang'er was very happy when she heard that she was going out, clapped her little hands and went out, and soon Li's mother responded.
Chu Yiyao coaxed Kang'er to fall asleep and then went to the backyard, Xiao Tao knelt there with a pale face, and the hands on her knees, and the nails of her ten fingers were all crimson.
Mother Li immediately said to her, "It was a mother in the eldest lady's courtyard who told her to do this, and she also gave the thing, and the mother instructed her to find an opportunity to add this thing to the eldest young master's decoction, but she didn't say what it was." ”
Chu Yiyao looked at Xiao Tao who was kneeling on the ground, this is probably the last card that the eldest aunt left in the Scholar's Courtyard, Xiao Tao didn't leak out when the news of the Scholar's Courtyard died, she was worried that she would be driven out after being found out and no one would do anything for her, and now it was just right to use it at a critical juncture.
"She'll just give you fifty taels?" Chu Yiyao looked down at Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao shook her head, "I will give me another fifty taels after the matter is completed, and if I can't stay in the Shen family, I will be given one hundred taels of silver to send me away." ”
Chu Yiyao chuckled, "Your life is gone, what do you want so much silver for." ”
Xiao Tao knelt there and kowtowed again, "Second young grandmother, Xiao Tao knows that she is wrong, and begs the second young grandmother to spare Xiao Tao." ”
The peacock hurriedly came over and said in her ear, Xiao Tao was still there begging for mercy, Chu Yiyao's face suddenly fell, and her eyes were almost dyed with a touch of fierceness, "She actually wants to kill my son!" ”
Mother Li was also frightened by the ferocity exuded by Chu Yiyao's body, but she didn't dare to ask, a strange smile flashed in Chu Yiyao's eyes, "Xiao Tao, now I will give you a chance to atone for your sins, do a good job, the second young grandmother, I will also give you a hundred taels of silver to send you out of this Shen family." ”
Xiao Tao lowered her head and didn't see the coldness on Chu Yiyao's face, and when she heard that there was room for turn, she hurriedly responded, "Second young grandmother, even if you command, as long as you don't blame Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao is willing to do anything!" ”
"Good." Chu Yiyao looked at her willing to smear her brains, and the corners of her mouth rose a little...
In the evening, the Yan family received the news, and the second room invited a doctor, and the maid who went to invite the doctor looked in a hurry.
In the evening, the news came back from the second room, saying that it was a timely time to see the doctor, and now there is no major problem, Yan felt that he was empty and happy, and hurriedly found his confidant mother, "Have you come to look for you?" ”
Guo's mother nodded, "I'll go out to see her late at night." ”
A touch of viciousness flashed in Yan's eyes, "It's a good job, find a chance for her to do it again, I want to see how hard that life can be." "Whoever is in the way of her son and her grandson, she will eradicate them all.
After thinking about it, Yan warned her again, "Be careful yourself, don't burn this fire on yourself." ”
Guo's mother nodded and went out, but Yan's heart had already planned for this family dominance.
In the dead of night, a black shadow quietly appeared in the small garden, sneakily to the bamboo forest behind a pavilion, waiting for another person, the two of them exchanged words and said a few words, the black shadow quickly left, after a while, three people walked out of the corner, Chu Yiyao looked at Xiao Tao, who trembled slightly, "You can keep the silver she gave you." ”
"Mother Guo said that she still has the medicine powder, but she didn't bring it with her, let me wait for her here at this time tomorrow night." Xiao Tao repeated the words of the conversation between the two of them as they were.
Mother Li behind Chu Yiyao pulled Xiao Tao over, "Grandma, do you want to wait for tomorrow night?" ”
Chu Yiyao shook his head, half loudly, looked at the glimmer of light revealed in the distance, and confided two words, "Report to the official." ”……
The next day, when Guo's mother reappeared with the medicine powder, it was no longer Xiao Tao who was waiting for her, but several officers and soldiers, and before Guo's mother could shout, the officers and soldiers picked up a piece of cloth and blocked her mouth, and directly escorted her away.
In the dead of night, the Shen Mansion was as if nothing had happened, until the next morning, a team of officers and soldiers from the government came to Shen's house, only showed the search documents, did not explain anything, and went directly to the place where Guo's mother lived to search for things.
When the report arrived at Yan's place, the yard where Guo's mother lived, including the house where several mothers lived next door, were all searched to the bottom, whether it was a quilt or a pillow, all of them were scraped open with a knife to turn over the contents of the house.
When Yan led people over, two officers and soldiers at the gate of the courtyard held big knives to prevent them from entering, and even if Yan said something, he couldn't ask why.
This incident alarmed the old man Shen who was in a state of illness.
People who were familiar with Guo's mother were directly taken to the government, and the officers and soldiers also searched various kitchens, and at the same time went to the scholar's courtyard in the second room, and took away a group of people who were questioning.
Before leaving, the officers and soldiers led by him said to Old Man Shen with words like gold, "This is a crime of murder, and it also implicates other people in the house, and I have to invite Old Man Shen to go to the Yamen from time to time." ”
Yan, who was following behind, was a little unsteady when he heard that the murder of the two people stumbled on his feet, and Shen Zhennan, who was beside him, helped her in time.
Old Man Shen frowned deeply, he raised his head and asked politely at the officer and soldier, "Can you tell us who reported to the official?" ”
The officer and soldier looked at him deeply, and said expressionlessly, "The second young grandmother of the Shen family." ”
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this, the second young grandmother reported to the official, and her own people accused her of murder, most of the people who were taken away were in the big house, and several of the housekeeper's right-hand men in the eldest lady's weekdays were also taken away, and the second young grandmother was going to sue the eldest lady?
Old Man Shen looked at the door of the Shen family that was slowly closing, and hammered the crutches in his hand hard, "Nonsense, send someone to call Shi Jin back, and also, go to the second room and call Zhenbei They all call me over, go and see if Shi Xuan's daughter-in-law is not there, they all go to find me!" Speaking of which, the old man Shen almost always roared, and with a heavy cough, Shen Zhennan hurriedly ordered someone to find it.
Yan on the side also wanted to move, but found that his legs and feet were a little disobedient, and he stretched out his hand to let the maid on the side support him, Yan wanted to turn around and go back to his yard, but the old man Shen behind him scolded, "What are you doing, kneel down for me!" ”…
After waiting for the second master Shen to come over with his wife and daughter-in-law, here in the front hall of the Shen family, Yan was kneeling there, and the old man Shen who was sitting in front of him was already angry and his face was pale.
"Dad, I really haven't done anything." Yan still can't figure out when this officer and soldier took Guo's mother away, quietly, and he didn't even notice that the mother-in-law at the door was dead.
"To whom are these words spoken in court?" Old Man Shen scolded angrily, Yan's body trembled, and he knelt there and stopped talking.
Old Man Shen looked at Chu Yiyao at this time, without the kindness of the past, Old Man Shen said with a calm face, "It's your eldest aunt who did something sorry for you, why do you have to go to the official mansion, this is to throw the face of the Shen family outside, isn't it, you are also the granddaughter-in-law of the Shen family." ”
Chu Yiyao was not afraid of him, looking at the Yan family kneeling there, the government had not yet summoned him, and the old man Shen knew that it must be the fault of the eldest aunt, and over the years, it was inseparable from the old man's appeasement and adultery, so Chu Yiyao met the eyes of the old man Shen and said sincerely, "Grandfather, face is earned by yourself, not to mention, Yiyao said this, I still want to save a little face for the Shen family." ”
"Dad, have you seen it, this dead girl is no one in her eyes!" Yan immediately pointed at Chu Yiyao and said, but he was almost hit in the head by a cup lid thrown in front of him.
Yan looked at the smashed cup lid behind him with palpitations, and in his ears was the angry shout of Old Man Shen, "You shut up for me!" ”
"Grandfather, the eldest aunt has provoked three or four times, and when I was pregnant with Kang'er, I also borrowed Bao'er's hand to add musk to the sachet of my purse in a vain attempt to make me childless, this matter Shixuan told you, you sent the eldest aunt away for the reputation of the Shen family, the child was fine, and he was born safely, and I can not blame this matter. But the eldest aunt did not restrain herself, and repeatedly wanted to insert eyeliner in my yard, if it weren't for the fact that I had solved the food in the scholarly courtyard since I was pregnant, I am afraid that I would have been poisoned thousands of times! ”
"A few days ago, Kang'er and Yue'er pushed and shoved, the eldest aunt beat and scolded the nurse who protected the two children when I didn't come, let me ask if there is no nurse to protect me, whether Kang'er and the young master of the Wang family also have to fall and break the blood flow in order to solve the hatred in the eldest aunt's heart, Kang'er was frightened and had a high fever, and my mother persuaded me that since it was Yue'er who was injured, this matter will pass, and I didn't listen to my mother's what you said."
Saying that, Chu Yiyao looked down at Yan's family, snorted and continued, "How do you know that the eldest aunt is so unwilling, she wants to directly ask for Kang'er's life to relieve her hatred!" ”
The hall was silent in an instant, and many people still didn't know about the things Chu Yiyao said, Master Shen's face suddenly became ugly, and Shui Ruoqian, who came over later, was full of disbelief.
When Chu Yiyao paused, Bao Sheng sent a small part of the medicinal powder left behind directly to Old Man Shen, and Chu Yiyao said loudly, "Grandfather, didn't you ask me why I reported to the official, this matter can no longer be settled by solving it at home, no matter how important the face of the Shen family is, it is not as important as Kang'er's life." Grandfather, are you curious about what this is, this is a good thing that the eldest aunt carefully prepared for Kang'er, arsenic. ”…
