45. 045: The Trap (II)
On a March night, it was warm and cold.
Xia Ruan didn't believe that Cuiliu would steal Yue's things, someone must have set a trap.
Clear-eyed people knew at a glance that there was a problem here, but no one dared to stand up and help defend half a sentence.
Including her cousin Webster.
Today's Xia Ruan feels like 'I am a fish and a knife'.
In the past, she might have been slaughtered and had no power to fight back.
But now, looking at her mother's desperate look, she knew that she couldn't bear it any longer.
Xia Ruan helped her mother and walked towards the main hall step by step, followed by a few small servants of the Yue family.
My cousin is simply a villain, and she is afraid that they will run away, so she will call so many people to 'invite' them.
It's no wonder that the little girl just now dared to shout in front of them. These subordinates generally watch the behavior of their wives and wives, and learn to worship the high and the low.
The backyard of Yue's Mansion looks a little more gloomy than it looks during the day, and the huge place makes people feel panicked in their bones. Xia Ruan felt a slight tremor on her mother's body, so she comforted her: "Mother, it's okay." ”
This is comforting her mother, and it is also comforting herself.
The little girl who walked in front couldn't help but snort coldly.
After walking about a cup of tea, after passing the weeping flower door, I vaguely saw the main hall.
At this time, the house was full of maids, and their hands were placed in front of them in a proper manner. Seeing Xia Ruan and Li coming over, they looked at each other with different expressions, and Xia Ruan knew that these people had already regarded them as thieves.
The little girl who led the way opened the curtain, and Xia Ruan saw Cuiliu kneeling on the ground at first glance when she entered the room, her body trembling terribly, and she seemed to be frightened.
The room was bright, and Xia Ruan could clearly see that Cuiliu's face was slightly swollen, and there were finger prints.
Before it was decided, he started beating people, is this trying to bend into a trick?
"Mrs. Li, Third Miss, can you give me an explanation of today's events?"
Xia Ruan heard the familiar voice, so he raised his head, and saw a woman wearing a sheepskin gown wearing a green crepe silk beaded beads standing beside the noble old man: "It's just a jade hairpin, I just wore it the day I returned home." If Mrs. Li likes it, I will give it to you, why do you do such a thing. ”
This woman is the second lady of the Yue family, Tang Jingxuan's biological mother Yue Qinghui.
Cuiliu panicked when she heard this, her face was full of tears and she looked very embarrassed, and hurriedly cried and shouted: "No, madam, the slave maid didn't steal the hairpin of the second aunt and grandmother, and the slave didn't ......."
Yue snorted coldly, with some displeasure in his eyes: "If my son hadn't found out earlier, my hairpin would have been stolen by you." What if you're crying here, can my son still wronged you? And don't look at what you are. ”
As soon as Xia Ruan heard this, he moved his gaze to Tang Jingxuan, who was doing it on the side.
I saw Tang Jingxuan with a sneer on his face, and he was also looking at her.
I don't know what kind of spice is burned in the house, which makes Li feel a headache and almost want to nause.
Li was speechless at this time, and she didn't know how to explain it, so she just set her eyes on Wei, hoping that her cousin could help her. How did Wei Shi lower his head and look at the upper of his shoes at this time, looking at ease, and the angry Li almost couldn't stand on his feet.
"I've seen Mrs. Yue." Xia Ruan made a blessing to the Yue family before saying slowly, "Mother has never stepped out of the courtyard since she became unwell since she entered the house, how can she see the second aunt and grandmother wearing jade hairpins?" Moreover, my mother has been fasting and reciting Buddha all these years, and her heart is like water, and she has long stopped wearing these precious things, so how could she let Cuiliu do such a thing. ”
It seemed to be an answer, but it was like a question, which made Yue's admiration for Xia Ruan a little.
It's just that this Li family shouldn't be the idea of beating the Yue family, you have to know what Li Changfeng is doing in the court now to make the Hou Ye embarrassed. As long as the Hou Ye mentioned the third master of the Li family, he couldn't wait to eat his flesh raw, and when he thought of these Yue clans, he felt a little more unhappy.
"Ruan girl, don't be rude." Looking at Yue's cold face, Wei couldn't help but reprimand.
At this time, Wei finally spoke, her face looked a little helpless, and said to Cuiliu: "Cuiliu, do you know what is wrong?" If you continue to quibble, how do you let Mrs. Li raise her head? ”
Wei said 'Mrs. Li' instead of his cousin, and he was anxious to clear up his relationship with Li, and urged Cuiliu to quickly bow his head and admit his mistake, hoping that Li would be recognized as a thief.
Why is the change so fast? Xia Ruan also heard that Wei was eager to tie up with his third uncle, but as soon as he saw that something had happened to his mother, he quickly turned his face and didn't recognize anyone.
Xia Ruan exhaled deeply and told himself to relax and think about whether he had missed something.
Today is the seventh day of the third month, what happened in March of previous years, and what happened......
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Ruan suddenly realized, and his eyes widened in shock, the seventh day of the third month.
How could she have forgotten that the seventh day of the third month was the day her grandfather fell ill.
In the past, she once heard Tang Jingxuan say after getting drunk: "The seventh day of the third month is really a good day, Li Zhiya's old thing fell ill on this day, Ha Lu Ha, and he went in less than three months after the last month." Since then, no one has dared to find the Six Princes unhappy. ”
If my grandfather is seriously ill, my third uncle won't be able to come to Xianyang. Xia Ruan's brows furrowed, so now Wei hurriedly wanted to break off the relationship with his mother, feeling that his mother had become a waste chess piece.
Xia Ruan only learned later that the third uncle of Lu Dao and the Hou Ye had always been at odds in the court, and they often quarreled over trivial matters. Now that I think about it, this is probably the reason why she married into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and has been unwelcome.
At first, Xia Ruan thought that he was a stepfamily, and it was normal to be unwelcome. However, even if it is a stepfamily, why would the mother-in-law hate her so much, there are thorns in every word. Since entering Hou Pingyang's Hou Mansion, she has poured out her heart and lungs for her husband and regarded her mother-in-law as her biological mother, thinking that this would warm their hearts, but she was wrong.
Until the moment she died, she didn't understand what was wrong with her, why she was treated as a disaster by a room of people.
Now that I think about it, it turned out to be so.
But in the past, if it weren't for Xiao Shaocheng and her third uncle, the people of Pingyang Hou's Mansion would have become dead souls.
She clearly remembered Xiao Shaocheng's words: "If you want to be grateful, thank Li Ge Lao, he is really ......"
When Xiao Shaocheng didn't finish speaking, she thought that the grievances between the Tang family and the Li family were too deep, so Xiao Shaocheng stopped talking more.
But now she understands that this is the case, it is like this.
The old man who was kind and kind-eyed and often came to her restaurant to eat was her third uncle.
"Cuiliu, let me ask you again, do you know that Lu Dao is wrong?" Wei's voice increased, and there was an annoyed look on his face.
It was such a sentence that interrupted Xia Ruan's thoughts, she raised her head and looked inside the room for a while, before slowly retorting: "Cuiliu didn't steal, but what was wrong?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes in the room all looked towards Xia Ruan, and even the old lady who had been silent couldn't help but stop her movements, and the surroundings were silent for a while.
No one expected that this little girl would dare to refute the eldest lady of the Yue family, Wei.
