Chapter 55: Coercion
Like a proud hen, the woman strotted in proudly. www.biquge.info At this time, the second lady, who has always been majestic in the house, seems to have lost her former prestige, accompanied by a smiling face, and has been welcoming the woman into her house.
The woman went straight to the first place, sat down, and with a wave of her hand, the group of maids and servants who followed her separated into two columns and stood at the bottom.
The second lady was busy letting Yahuan serve tea and set snacks, and then she accompanied her smiling face and said carefully: "Sister, what kind of wind blew you over?" β
The aunt snorted heavily from her nostrils, and glanced at the second lady: "I had a dream the night before yesterday, and I dreamed that Wu'er was not good, and I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't sleep anymore." So I was in a hurry to come to Beijing and see my Wu'er. β
Of course, the second lady didn't believe in this dream, she hated it and gritted her teeth secretly: "The big house will really fall into the ground." β
"Eldest sister, don't worry, Wu'er is fine." The second lady smiled very unnaturally, trying her best to avoid her aunt's aggressive eyes.
"Really?" My aunt had a cold face, "But how did I hear that my Wu'er was humiliated in the street and had two fingers cut off?" β
The second lady's hand shook, half of the hot tea spilled, and the back of her hand was hot, she shivered in pain, raised her head and looked at her aunt in shock: "Eldest sister, how do you know?" β
As soon as these words came out, she couldn't wait to bite off her tongue, which was not clear about Ying Tong's aunt's words, which was equivalent to telling her aunt that she admitted that Huo Wu had an accident?
"Where is Wu'er? I'm going to see him. Grandma said as she got up.
The second lady knew that she couldn't hide it, so she told her aunt and grandmother the ins and outs of the matter one by one.
"My Wu'er has suffered such a big grievance, what are you going to do next?" My aunt and grandmother knew the whole thing, and they sat down instead. Because she knew that her son had lost two fingers, this was an ironclad fact, and no matter how much she comforted him, she would not make a new finger grow on the severed finger. The most important thing now is to catch the murderer of her son and avenge her son.
"This ......" The second lady hesitated a little. Originally, she planned to wait for the second master to come back and discuss a countermeasure, but what she didn't expect was that her aunt and grandmother actually killed her from Huzhou and caught her off guard. Now he came straight to her and asked her what to do, how was she going to deal with it?
Seeing the second lady's hesitant expression, the fiery aunt and grandmother were angry, and stood up with a "huo" sound, and said loudly: "If you are not your son, you can't be regarded as an outsider?" I am such a son, I was unspeakably miserable to conceive in October, and I almost lost my life when I gave birth to him. Now Wu'er is my life, root, he has something, I, as a mother, don't take this head for him, who else will stand up for him? β
The implication of this is that she has so many high-ranking officials and powerful relatives in vain, and she doesn't even have someone to stand up for her son.
The second lady was robbed and her face turned red for a while, and she hurriedly got up to pour tea for her aunt and grandmother in person, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be angry, you put Wu'er in my hands, he has a little mistake, I am also responsible, and I will definitely investigate Wu'er's matter to the end." You see, my husband has been on business for the past two days, and he has gone out, and he will be back tomorrow night, and I will ...... when the time comes."
"Tomorrow night?" The eldest aunt and grandmother glared, "Do you have to wait until tomorrow night?" I'm afraid that the murderer has long been at large, where are you going to catch him back? β
The second lady was speechless for a while.
yes, is that murderer so stupid, waiting for you to catch him? Maybe I'm out of the city now, and I'm on the run.
"What does the eldest sister mean......" The second lady knew that the eldest aunt and grandmother must have her own opinions, so she looked at the latter and asked carefully.
The aunt and grandmother seemed confident: "Draw a portrait of that person, issue a sea capture document, search the whole city, but anyone who harbors a fugitive will be regarded as an accomplice and arrested together!" β
The eldest aunt and grandmother were angry when they said this, but the second lady was greatly startled. She admires the courage of her aunt and grandmother, but there is one thing that her aunt and grandmother have forgotten that this is the capital, not Huzhou, where she is located!
The husband of the eldest aunt and grandmother is the history of Huzhou Thorn, in Huzhou, the eldest aunt and grandmother are like the emperor, giving orders, and no one dares to disobey. But in the capital, if a brick is smashed, it can kill an official rank. A four-rank official assassin is really nothing in the capital.
The second lady rolled her eyes and said softly: "Eldest sister, it is not a trivial matter to send an official document to catch the sea and search the whole city. Do you think that's good? You will stay here with me first, and comfort Wu'er by the way, let's find the painter first, let Wu'er dictate, let the painter draw the face of the murderer, and wait for Chende to come back, and then we will discuss it well, do you think it's okay? β
Chende is the word of the second master, and the second lady said the word of the second master at this time, which is to hint to the aunt and grandmother that the second master loves himself very much, and they have a good relationship between husband and wife, and the second master will not sit idly by and ignore her affairs, and will definitely investigate to the end.
The eldest aunt and grandmother's heart was also a little calmer at this time, and her proposal was indeed a little overdone, after all, this is the capital. But......
The aunt and grandmother turned their minds slightly, looked at a coral about five feet high and about two feet long placed at the door, pondered for a moment, and said: "Third sister, that Shuntianfu Yin Ke is Chende's protΓ©gΓ©?" β
The second lady didn't expect the eldest aunt and grandmother to ask this, and said blankly: "Yes." β
The eldest aunt and grandmother turned her head, looked at the second lady, and smiled a little mysteriously: "Those two blood-colored corals are really beautiful, such corals are rare in the world, but I am afraid they are worth a lot of money." β
The second lady looked at the eldest aunt and grandmother in a daze, and after she understood, she couldn't help but scold the eldest aunt and grandmother in her heart for being too cunning!
These two blood-colored corals are five feet tall and two feet long, which is rare in the world. Even the one placed in the emperor's imperial study in the palace is less than two feet long.
And such a rare blood-colored coral was given by Yin He Tianming of Shuntian Mansion.
Back then, He Tianming took the scientific examination and worshiped under the door of the second master. The second master saw that this person was flexible, and accepted some gift money from him, so he helped him. Later, He Tianmingguan worshiped Shuntianfu Yin, and in order to express his gratitude to the second master, he specially ordered someone to go all the way to Nanwan Kingdom, bought it from a nobleman with a lot of money, and then sent it to the second master.
Now, the eldest aunt and grandmother looked at the two blood-colored corals and mentioned Shuntianfu Yin to the second lady, proving that she came to prepare, and the second lady didn't agree to her, I'm afraid it won't work.
