Chapter 23: Li Luo plotted to kill his daughter-in-law?
At night, Li Yaorong and Jiang Hui were about to sleep peacefully, and the housekeeper came to the door and shouted softly:
"Can you rest, sir? Madame Chang has sent someone to give a gift—"
Li Yaorong was refreshed when he heard this, and he was completely sleepy, so he put on his coat and walked quickly to the door to greet Jiang Wen's henchmen sent by the Chang Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause Jiang Hui was not neatly dressed, it was inconvenient to see guests, so Li Yaorong invited the maid to the side hall to sit for a while.
The maid was followed by two strong maids, carrying a heavy box of gold and silver, and waited into the side hall, and then put it down peacefully. Li Yaorong's eyes burned, and the corner of his eyes glanced at the wooden box from time to time, estimating that the value of the contents of the box was afraid that it would exceed the amount Jiang Wen had promised.
However, Jiang Wen's henchmen did not just come to send the agreed five hundred gold, but also asked Jiang Wen about more important things, so he didn't leave his things and leave as usual, and he didn't stay long.
Li Yaorong was so eagle-eyed that he naturally noticed the cautious attitude between the maid's eyebrows, so he sent the housekeeper to invite the two little servants who carried the boxes to the main hall for some refreshments.
When there were only two of them left in the room, Li Yaorong asked:
"Auntie, what else do you have to convey to you?"
The maid raised her eyes and glanced at Li Yaorong, and the other party first provoked the conversation to make her a little more relaxed, so she bent over and replied respectfully:
"Lord Huili, my wife would like to inquire with you: Do you have plants in your mansion that are called centipede grass?"
Li Yaorong was puzzled when he heard this, and he didn't know why Jiang Wen wanted to ask about these trivial things. But he still shook his head with a kind face and said:
"Centipede grass? Li has never heard of it, seen it before, and is not good at flowers and plants, as for whether there is planting in the house? I don't know. ”
The maid was surprised, frowned, and muttered, "This is strange—"
Li Yaorong didn't hear what the maid was talking about, and privately thought that Jiang Wen was in urgent need of centipede grass where to use it, after all, it was really incomprehensible to ask about a little-known plant in the middle of the night:
"If my aunt needs this kind of green plant, Li can instruct her subordinates to look for it in the courtyard, and if there is no planting at home, Li can also send someone to ......."
"I'm afraid Lord Li has misunderstood-"
Before Li Yaorong finished speaking, he was blocked by the maid in front of him, and his face was faintly unhappy, feeling that the subordinates of the concubine family were not trained and did not understand the rules.
Seeing that Li Yaorong looked displeased, and his eyes were covered with a thin layer of anger, the maid hurriedly bowed down and explained:
"Please forgive me Lord Li, the slave is in a hurry for a while, and she has lost her sense of proportion!"
Li Yaorong turned his head slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”
Because the maid hesitated and hesitated for a while, even if Li Yaorong benefited from Jiang Wen, he inevitably couldn't bear it, and he already had the idea of sending the people from the concubine's house back.
"Lord Li, the slave told you the truth—that centipede grass is a poisonous weed! Today, on the way home from your house, my young lady had a rash on her body, and the scarlet patch caused my young lady to suffer a lot! ”
Li Yaorong was shocked, and hurriedly turned his head and wondered:
"How could such a thing be?"
The servant's humble attitude is still the same, and she responds unhurriedly:
"Master Li didn't know, after the young lady suffered all the way home, Butler Bai hurriedly went to find a famous doctor to diagnose and treat! That Langzhong said to my wife: Miss's coat is stained with the juice of poisonous weeds, so there is a sudden illness! ”
Li Yaorong listened to the meaning of the maid's words, and secretly pointed the finger at the Li family, and it was difficult to accept the benefits sent by Jiang Wen with peace of mind, and he said angrily with a righteous expression:
"If the strange thing is really in my Li family, Li will be severely punished! It's just that: this centipede grass is highly poisonous, and the house slave in my house will never let it grow and grow......"
Li Yaorong didn't want to believe that poisonous weeds were planted in his yard, if this matter really started because of the Li family, what kind of face did he have to take the benefits of the family to harm the family:
"It's getting late now, and when the sun rises, Li will order the house to go up and down to investigate-see if there is negligence somewhere, so that the poisonous weeds can harm Jingjing!"
The maidservant's head is recognized, indicating that this method is feasible. But thinking of Jiang Hui's entrustment, even if Li Yaorong has the attitude of helping and not helping his relatives, the maid can't care about the obscurity, and directly leads to the suspect:
"Lord Li, what the slave said is true! My young lady was just visiting relatives, and if she said that the poisonous weed was born in the family, she shouldn't have attacked on the way back from your house...... Madame also asked me to relay: Today, my young lady had some friction with the sixth lady in the house, and then my young lady took the initiative to apologize and the two reconciled, and my young lady has not been able to get close to my young lady except for a while with Miss Li Luo and Young Master Li Sheng——"
The hint in the servant's words couldn't be more obvious, and Li Yaorong wouldn't fail to hear it. But when Li Yaorong heard that Jiang Wen was suspicious of Li Luo, he was silent for a long time, his eyes were dark, and he looked up at the servant for a while and said:
"I already know my aunt's instructions, since it is related to my Li family, Li Mou must find out! However, Jingjing, as a victim, and her sister, as a witness, must supervise one or two. Tomorrow I will send a carriage to invite Jingjing personally, and if Jingjing's injuries are serious, my aunt can come here alone to watch and listen to the case. ”
With a flat tone and a calm tone, Li Yaorong calmly stated his plans and arrangements, and then sent away the slave sent by Jiang Wen to question on his behalf.
After the outsiders left, Li Yaorong did not return to the room for a long time, and paced on the stone steps outside the side hall, thinking twice......
Although the maid who passed the word pointed directly at Li Luo, Li Yaorong could almost conclude that his youngest daughter was not such an unbearable person. It's just that if Jiang Wen can't get used to Li Luo and insists on planting it? Li Yaorong was worried - standing on either side was not conducive to Li Sheng's career, and it was really difficult.
The evening breeze of the summer solstice is not cold, but Li Yaorong is standing at the wind outlet at this time, but he feels that the cold has seeped into his bones, and it is difficult for him to make a decision at the moment, and it is even more difficult to give up.
Walking slowly to Jiang Hui's room, Li Yaorong informed Chang Jingjing of the rash, and explained the stakes. Li Sheng is not his son alone, and Li Yaorong also wants to hear what Jiang Hui thinks, and he may be able to get through it smoothly.
Jiang Huiping is used to seeing women's disputes, and it is not uncommon for Jiang Hui to occasionally have means and schemes that cannot see the light. But Jiang Wen insisted that it was Li Luo who murdered Chang Jingjing, which surprised Jiang Hui - Jiang Wen only had a one-sided relationship with Li Luo, and such a short time together could make Li Luo hate her?
Moreover, with the fighting methods with Li Luo over the years, Jiang Hui and Li Yaorong have the same thoughts: Li Luo has only seen many storms and waves, at most he knows some small tricks on the surface, it is okay to steal and play tricks, but he deliberately harms others but does not dare to agree.
"Xianggong, from the point of view of the slave family, this matter is not like what Li Luo did!"
"Oh?"
Li Yaorong was naturally surprised, Jiang Hui had always been at odds with Li Luo, and he knew it in his eyes.
Jiang Hui couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle, staring at Li Yaorong, who looked a little wooden:
"Xianggong doesn't think that I am biased towards the six girls because of Xiuwen, right? I know that you don't like the family and the house is not harmonious, my past with the six girls is nothing more than that she is a little wilder, I treat her harshly and hope that she is knowledgeable. But can I not know what the temperament of the six girls is? ”
Li Yaorong saw that Jiang Hui was not as exhausted as he was, and he could still joke with himself, thinking that Jiang Hui must have a way to deal with the change, so he softened the edges and corners of his eyebrows, took Jiang Hui's hands and asked:
"Madame still has the heart to laugh? Xiaoliu and his aunt are both people who can affect the future of Xiuwen, if they want to be impartial and not offended, it is really a problem, and please ask Mrs. to admonish them? ”
