Chapter 24: The Knot of the Heart

"Is it hidden? Well, since the wanted so, she did as she wished. ”

The old lady was not angry and arrogant, and she didn't even speak, and seemed to ignore the presence of her children and grandchildren.

Ding Qinghua and Qiluo were also silent and stood aside.

Somewhat pitiful.

Cheap maid, it's probably the fourth grandmother you are talking about.

Su Yan also bowed his head and echoed his daughter-in-law, and arched his hand: "If the old lady has a hidden secret, the lower officials should deal with it at their own discretion, and they will definitely not embarrass you." "He has an official position, so his words naturally carry more weight.

The top priority is to know what it is, so that this family is secretive.

This case has been entered into the file and has been reported, so it must be investigated.

Half a day.

The old lady sighed and said Dongxiang to help me bring the old account book.

At this time, a mother-in-law of about forty or fifty years old came out from behind the blue-gray gauze tent, holding a brocade box in her hand, and when she opened the box, she saw a blue ledger lying quietly, with a slightly broken corner, looking very old.

The old lady glanced at Su Yan: "She has been with me for decades, and she was together when she got married." ”

It seems to explain, and it seems to imply status.

Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyou met, they were both respectful to Dongxiang, and the old lady looked at the account book for a long time before she reached over and rubbed her fingers on the leather for a while, which seemed to be a little timid.

"The old lady has been gone for so long, I thought about this and took it into the coffin, but there are always people who pick on the tip of my heart......" After speaking, the cloudy eyeballs seemed to be clearer because of the moistness, and the stern gaze actually looked a little younger.

She called Lin Xiaoyou and Su Yan over. Pointing to the account book, he said: "This is the living record of the house many years ago, all of which are saved, and this is just a thought, but I don't know that there will be a day when I take it out." Then he handed it to Su Yan.

Su Yan didn't shirk it, and just took it and read it.

Page by page, I turned forward, and my face gradually became solemn.

The living notes are very detailed, and they are about the old lady's husband, Mrs. Ding, such as some monthly payments, expenses, details of entering and exiting each room, and rewards and gifts are all detailed.

The old lady was not the only lady of the old lady who went early, and the old lady took two ladies besides her, but she didn't come out of anything. Later, he also died. Judging from the living notes, the old lady who went first had breakfast in the old lady's room at most, which shows that the old lady is the most favored.

Maybe it has something to do with her status.

The monthly payment is also the most, with ten taels.

Dozens of pages were read. I found a few points that made people very concerned. One is said to be the two children of the Ding family. Ding Fengniang and Ding Lansheng were both born by old ladies, but when Ding Lansheng was born, her mother's family had as much as ten taels of gold, and when Ding Fengniang was born. But there is no record, is it because the daughter is not as expensive as the son, so it is saved?

The second is that before Ding Fengniang was born, Mrs. Ding died suddenly, and the second grandmother at that time became a monk soon after, and the third grandmother also broke the record and disappeared, and she never even mentioned a single note in her daily notes.

Behind is the old lady in charge of the overall situation, there is nothing to see.

No wonder, Lin Xiaoyou felt strange, why was there only an old lady in this big house, and she thought that she was an iron-fisted method to make the old lady who went first not dare, it turned out that there was such a change.

In ancient times, it was really polygamous, and even being as capable as an old lady was not exempt from vulgarity, Lin Xiaoyou couldn't help but be disappointed.

In this way, don't think about being a couple for a lifetime.

Seeing that Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyou didn't speak, knowing that they must be thoughtful, the old lady said: "The matter of the inner house is originally ugly and must not be publicized, but someone took advantage of this to fan the flames. With tears in the corners of his eyes, he looked at a candle that was about to burn out, and the flame was shaking.

Although Lin Xiaoyou and Su Yan are outsiders, they can't help but sigh.

was just about to speak, but heard Ding Qinghua's panicked voice: "Sister, what's wrong with you, sister!" ”

Then I saw Qiluo pale and weak, and the eyes of Jian Shui instantly lost his mind, as if two sluggish glass balls were embedded, lifeless.

Lin Xiaoyou ran over, pinched her violently because of the back pain, shook her head and glared at Ding Qinghua: "What did you do, what's wrong with Qiluo?" ”

The words were cruel, Ding Qinghua was so frightened that he stepped back, and sat on the ground with his eyes blank: "No, I don't know." ”

Then he began to hit his head on the ground, and in an instant his head was covered in blood.

Su Yan pulled him up, but Ding Qinghua's eyes changed from clear to confused, and then he spoke gibberishly.

Su Yan: "It's not good, he's sick." ”

Although Ding Qinghua has mostly recovered, the root of the disease is there, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not recur.

The old lady smiled bitterly: "It seems that she is satisfied." ”

Lin Xiaoyou didn't care what she said at this time, she probed her snort and found that Qiluo was still alive, she breathed a sigh of relief, quickly checked Qiluo's body, and then found something unusual, she hooked the peach blossom delicate bag with her fingers, and said, "I have seen this thing on Qiluo, whose is this." No one answered, and at this time, Dongxiang came over to take a look and said, "The taste of impatiens juice, it seems that only that person in the courtyard loves to use this thing." ”

"Who?" Lin Xiaoyou observed Qiluo's pupils, found that it was enlarged, and judged that it was poisoning, and now he must find the poisoner to get the antidote, otherwise Qiluo is in danger.

She is innocent.

"Second grandmother." Dongxiang said steadily, her tone did not contain a trace of fluctuation, she had never been shocked by all the wind and waves that had seen such tricks. "Jun Yao's mother."

said to the two maidservants who fanned the chrysanthemum: "Xia He, go and invite the second grandmother, Qiu Ju, go out first." ”

Then he said. "Miss Du, although the eldest lady's situation is urgent, I can still say it for the young lady, if it is very simple, it will not waste time." She knew very well that there were some things that had to be said anyway, and the young lady [the old lady] refused to say that she should not, and the old lady easily made up her mind to say those things, and she could not be allowed to retreat from kindness again.

Her family education is strict and tolerant, but she Dongxiang can't watch her suffer and live a lifetime.

"Dongxiang!"

The old lady's face changed.

But it was too late.

Mrs. Ding is the daughter of the former emperor's master, only because of the failure to fight with the current emperor's master was exiled and the family was in the middle, and had to marry the old lady Ding, who was only a small businessman at the time, but Ding was not a good son-in-law, after giving birth to the eldest son Ding, because of internal injuries could not be reborn, Ding began to take concubines, and soon one of the two concubines was pregnant, but the woman had to Longwangshu covet the seat in the main room, so she took the opportunity to poison the old lady, but it poisoned Ding.

"After she destroyed her future, the evidence was conclusive and she couldn't escape, she committed suicide after giving birth to a child, and another concubine was also involved in it, and she fled without knowing that she could not escape the crime, Miss pity Feng Niang was born without a father, and she thought that she was raised by her daughter, and when she grew up, she even let her marry her son."

Lin Xiaohum said, if it is true, this old lady is really a virgin, but this is still a half-mother.

Just as she was about to speak, the old lady spoke: "Dongxiang, you don't have to beautify me, if I am not helpless, how can I let the enemy's daughter marry my son." She gritted her teeth. I really can't wait to find her, a thousand cuts. (To be continued......)
