Chapter 34 Debriefing
Although Aunt Li's temperament is easy to be irritable and her temper is not small, if she really encounters serious things, she is more calm than anyone else. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time, she refused to believe Yuexiang's words, suspecting that there was fraud in them, but she didn't plan to startle the snake, but wanted to confuse Yuexiang into thinking that she had believed all this, and then use Yuexiang to deal with Ning Jinyun.
Before, Aunt Li specially gave Yuexiang money for treatment, and asked her a bunch of questions about Ning Jinyun, just to create the illusion that she was already convinced of Yuexiang.
And Yuexiang really believed it.
When it was late at night, Yuexiang sneaked out of the Peony Courtyard in the dark, returned to the Red Peony Courtyard, and reported to Ning Jinyun about today's situation. Qingyun had been waiting for her at the door for a long time, and when she saw that she finally came, she let out a long breath and led her inside.
"What's going on, has Aunt Li found anything? Miss has been worrying about you all day today. ”
"Sister Qingyun, don't worry, Aunt Li and the eldest lady and the third lady didn't suspect me, this time it really went smoothly, Aunt Li not only let me work in the main house, but also gave me a lot of silver to treat my mother."
Yuexiang looked happy, whispered to Qingyun, and after chatting a few words, she entered the inner room.
Inside the house, Ning Jinyun was half-lying on the carved nanmu bed with her eyes closed and resting, the light yellow dark tulle curtain was half-hidden in front of the bed, covering her slightly delicate sleeping state, and one of her feet was on the side of the bed, revealing from the blanket covered by her legs. After Qingyun came in, she saw that she had already slept, so she went over and gently put her feet into the blanket, lifted the bed curtain a little, and woke her up in a whisper.
"Miss, Miss, Yuexiang is here."
Hearing this, Ning Jinyun opened his eyes.
Qingyun went to the kang table on the warm kang by the window, lit an extra oil lamp, and the room looked brighter.
The inner room of the main house is very large, the west side against the wall is a Nanmu frame bed, most of the time, Ning Jinyun is sleeping on this bed, and the north side of the window is a big kang, the deep winter is cold, the northerners are inseparable from the warm kang, so in the coldest winter time, Ning Jinyun will sleep on the warm kang.
After Ning Jinyun got up, he hurriedly put on his shoes, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked, "Yuexiang, what is the situation now, is Aunt Li willing to let you stay in the Peony Courtyard?" ”
Yuexiang stood in front of the bed and nodded happily, "Miss Hui, the slave maid has been arranged for a fairly good errand and can stay in the Peony Courtyard." ”
Yesterday, after Ning Jinyun talked with Yuexiang, he found a doctor to go to Yuexiang's house, treated her mother, and gave her a large amount of medicine, so that Yuexiang's mother could be saved.
Yuexiang was grateful for Ning Jinyun's kindness, so she agreed to go to the Peony Courtyard as an eyeliner to report to Ning Jinyun.
"Really, Aunt Li can trust you so quickly? Then did she mess with you, but did she interrogate you about anything, you can tell me the process quickly. Ning Jinyun asked anxiously.
In Ning Jinyun's opinion, Aunt Li is not stupid, and it is not a simple matter if she wants her to really let down her guard.
Yuexiang replied, "The reason why the slave and maid were able to stay there smoothly is also thanks to the clever calculation of the young lady. As Miss expected, Aunt Li will use the slave maid, it is precisely because she wants to find out your news from the slave maid, she said that you have been very abnormal recently, so she asked the slave maid what you usually do, and then the slave maid told Aunt Li those little secrets you made up, she was very satisfied after listening to it, and gave the slave maid more money. ”
Hearing this, Ning Jinyun was thoughtful, and she muttered, "Is it so smooth, as soon as you say it, she will believe it?" ”
"Of course, and Aunt Li also said some provocative words, so that the slave and maid will hate you and betray you, looking at her appearance, she should be convinced of the slave and maid." Yuexiang said confidently.
Before this, Ning Jinyun guessed that Aunt Li would want to use Yuexiang, so she also made up some things related to herself and asked Yuexiang to use it to deal with Aunt Li's questioning, but she didn't expect that Aunt Li could fully trust Yuexiang so quickly, which was too imprudent, which made her suspicious.
But when she saw Yuexiang's confident look, Ning Jinyun dispelled a lot of worries in her heart, she thought, maybe she was suspicious, Aunt Li hated her so much, so it was reasonable that she couldn't wait to use Yuexiang.
She put her mind at ease for the time being, and instructed Yuexiang, "Since you have been working in the Peony Courtyard for a long time, you must be careful on weekdays, so as not to be seen." You don't have to come to report to me often, except for urgent matters, you only need to come once every seven days the rest of the time, and you have to come back to the Red Peony Courtyard after late at night. ”
"Yes, miss, the slave remembers."
Ning Jinyun thought for a while, and then commanded slowly, "You also have to remember that you must always pay attention to Aunt Li's movements, I need to know who she has met and what she has done." There are also the eldest lady and the third miss, if there is anything wrong with the two of them, you must remember to tell me. ”
Yuexiang nodded and responded, "Miss don't worry, the slave will definitely do what you ask." ”
"Well, it's not too early, you go back first, if you come out for too long, it will arouse suspicion if you don't say it well, you just went to the Peony Courtyard, and you pretended to be kicked out by me, I think there will be a lot of people who will notice you, you have to be as cautious as possible."
"Also, there are many people in the Peony Courtyard, you must be clever in your affairs, and you must be careful in everything."
Ning Jinyun repeatedly told Yuexiang, and then asked Qingyun to send her out.
After Qingyun came back, she had a smile on her face and said, "Miss, it's so late, you better go to sleep quickly, this time Yuexiang is so effective, you can also sleep well." ”
With that, she walked to the side of the bed and carefully arranged the futon for Ning Jinyun.
Ning Jinyun took off his coat and long skirt, wore a plain suit of obscene clothes and pants, and muttered on his forehead, "I also want to have a good night's sleep, but when I think of tomorrow's luncheon, where can I sleep soundly?" ”
At noon tomorrow, the second wife of Ning will have dinner in Qilan Courtyard, in order to catch the wind and wash the dust for the two brothers of the Li family, although Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanqian have been coming to Ning Mansion for many days, but the second wife still has to hold a luncheon to show her heart.
Prior to this, Mrs. Ning and Aunt Li also held a family banquet for their two brothers in their respective courtyards. When Mrs. Ning invited her to dinner, it happened that Ning Jinyun was pretending to be sick, so she excused herself, and Aunt Li's time, Ning Jinyun did not go on the grounds that her stomach suddenly felt unwell.
But this time is different, Ning Jinyun can no longer pretend to be sick one after another, and the second wife has always been very good to her, even if she doesn't give Li Yuanjing face, she has to give the second wife and Ning Jinyao a face.
Qingyun made the bed, turned her head, looked at Ning Jinyun, and said, "Miss, when the time comes, you can hold on for a while, the slave knows that you don't like to eat with Aunt Li and them, but you can't brush the face of the second wife." ”
Ning Jinyun couldn't help but sigh, yes, all she could do was to stick to it.
