Chapter 156, Drugged
The eldest lady's Zhuangzi said that it sounded good, but it was just a small courtyard built on the edge of the field, and in order to have some silver left, even the back cover room was not built. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is not comparable to Mu Chenxue's own grange.
Each of them divided the room briefly according to their position. Aunt Cheng is a noble concubine, and she has the ninth brother by her side, so the mother and son naturally live in the main house of the inner courtyard. Because Ma still has three sisters by his side, he lives in the East Chamber, while Xu can only live in the West Chamber.
A few of the rooms looked a little dilapidated on the outside, but they were cleaned inside. And they all have slaves and maids around them, as long as they wipe the floating ash again, they can live in.
Brother Jiu'er lived in a room with Aunt Cheng, and Mu Chenxue lived in a room by herself, because there was no back cover room in the courtyard, and there was no place to store the cage, so Aunt Cheng's three things were all placed in Mu Chenxue's house, and they were piled up all over the ground.
Because Aunt Cheng is a noble concubine, the steward of Zhuangzi has something to do, so she naturally has to come to her first to ask for instructions, "Aunt Cheng, you and the young master and young ladies have worked hard all the way, do you want to set the meal first, and it is better to rest early after eating!" "Although it is still early at this time, it is also dark early in winter, so it is better to eat earlier.
Aunt Cheng nodded, and the housekeeper was busy preparing. Aunt Cheng may not have seen anything wrong with taking care of things, but Mu Chenxue felt a trace of danger from this person.
Fortunately, when she went out of the city, she had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Baoru, so at this time, the people in the courtyard were busy, and no one noticed her, but a person slipped to the back door of the Zhuangzi, and whispered twice to the outside of the village, and saw Baoru flying straight down from the roof.
"Miss Maku, the slave maid just saw that the coachman gave a letter to the steward, and the two of them muttered as if they were discussing something, but the slave and maid were far away and their voices were small, so they didn't hear too clearly, but looking at their eyes, it shouldn't be a good thing!" Bao Ru was ordered by her master to protect Miss Maku, so any suspicion would attract her attention.
"I feel it too, you help me keep an eye on that steward, the yard is very chaotic at this time, no one should notice you!" Mu Chenxue originally planned to take her mother and younger brother back to her Zhuangzi, but because there were two aunts and three sisters Xu and Ma at this time, she had to wait for the right opportunity. Only then did I settle down for the time being.
"Miss Maku, don't worry, the people of the county prince are also coming, they are guarding outside the gate of Zhuangzi at this time, if you have something to do, just shout, they will rush in to help!" Although Baoru didn't want Miss Mu to find someone from the prince of the county to help, she was afraid that she would be busy with other things and would ignore it, after all, she was the only one who secretly followed here today. Only then did I have to take advantage of the people of the county prince.
"It's better not to use it, I'll take care of my mother and brother, there shouldn't be anything!" No matter how bold this Zhuangzi's steward is, it is impossible to deal with them openly, there must be some conspiracy. So I discussed with Baoru a few more words, and then went back to the house.
The perception of the morning snow is still very accurate. Zhuangzi's steward was discussing with his mother-in-law behind closed doors at this time, "Master, the eldest lady really asked you to use drugs to stun these people?" You can be sure, you must know that there are still young masters and young ladies here, don't take our lives when things are not done well! ”
"The eldest lady didn't want us to live at all, so many masters died on this Zhuangzi, do you think we can still have the life to leave alive? If you want me to say that since the eldest lady is unkind, we have nothing to scruple about. These people carry a lot of cages, and at first glance they are all valuable things. There is also food for Ershi, which happens to have nothing for us to eat, so when we have made all the people, we will take our things and flee south. Now there are people everywhere outside, even if we don't have a household book, it can be inferred that we were robbed by the disaster victims on the road and lost, and when we have silver, are we still afraid that we will not be able to buy a household book? ”
It turned out that the eldest lady had no intention of letting the aunts go back alive. Even in order to put an end to future troubles, he even ordered the shopkeeper of Zhuangzi to drug a few people, and then killed people to find a place where there were no people to bury them. At that time, even if the master asked, he let the steward say that it was the victims who broke into Zhuangzi, not only looted everything, but even several masters were killed by the victims. There is no proof of this death, even if the eldest master is suspicious, there is no way to take her. It's a big deal to take the life of this steward's family. For the dead slave, the eldest lady will not take it to heart at all.
She was calculating, thinking that Zhuangzi was her dowry, and she must not dare to have different intentions, but who knew that people were afraid of death. What's more, she treats her subordinates harshly on weekdays, and even this natural disaster not only did not plan for these minions, but also looted all the grain on several Zhuangzi, and this steward has long been dissatisfied with the eldest lady.
Baoru listened carefully to the words of the two outside the window, frowned and turned around to report to Miss Maku.
The shogunate walked and hurried here, and made a lot of noise all day, and it was not until night that it calmed down. The eldest lady was comfortably lying on the bed eating snacks, and the fourth sister sat on the side to accompany her, "Mother, why do you have to send the ninth brother away, you will make your father angry in vain!" ”
"That ninth brother is not of the same mind as us, and he may not be able to help your eldest brother in the future. And look at your father, these days I am more concerned about Brother Jiu'er than I am about Brother Starling, where can I swallow this breath. Don't worry, my mother has arranged it! The eldest lady was so happy that she almost slipped away, she wanted to get rid of these eyesore, but she didn't want her daughter to know. is afraid that her daughter will dislike her and be ruthless.
The fourth sister thought that her mother had really gone to Zhuangzi to deal with it, after all, the sisters were a sister, even if they often had quarrels on weekdays, but she was not ruthless enough to ignore these people.
Starling is very happy, since these people left, his mother no longer cuts regular dishes, he not only eats enough, but even eats two snacks a day. And Mu Peng has always cared about these things, just dedicated to learning, and by the way, he helped his father take care of the shop.
After getting the news from Baoru, Mu Chenxue returned to her mother's side and called Jiang's mother, Fanghua and Fang Yan into the house, "Mother, my daughter just heard that this person in charge of things is not well-intentioned, and wants to drug us all in that food and wine to make us all stunned." When we fainted, we planned to rob the food and things, and then flee south! ”
Mu Chenxue didn't tell all the things and everything, for fear of scaring her mother and younger brother, but even so, Aunt Cheng was still scared, but Brother Jiu'er looked at her sister calmly.
"Does the fifth sister have any ideas?" Seeing that his younger brother was not frightened, and he knew how to use his brain to analyze, Mu Chenxue couldn't help but give him an approving smile.
"Yes!" Mu Chenxue nodded, then looked at Fang Yan, "Fang Yan can't eat at the same table with us for a while, you have to be careful in the next room, don't follow the way of others, the food and water they give can't be used, we bring some ourselves, and we will do it first." ”
looked at Jiang Ma and Fang Hua again, "We will have to eat with Aunt Xu and Aunt Ma in a while, you have to be careful yourself, remember to just pretend, don't really eat and drink." When the hour comes, pretend to be dizzy. I'll take care of the rest! ”
"Fifth sister, do you want to remind the third sister too?" After all, they are all the children of the master, even if the Ma family has always been unfriendly with them, the third sister has a lot of faults, but in the final analysis, they are still just children. Aunt Cheng was a little unbearable.
"Mother, not now, don't worry, I will save their lives!" Saving their lives is not the same as protecting each other, she only promised to spare their lives, but she never promised to continue to take care of them. And she also wants to take this opportunity to teach Ma's mother and daughter a good lesson. After enduring these days, it's finally time to fight back. (To be continued.) )
