It turned out that the four sons said that they were alone and sold themselves to bury their father, but in fact, her father died early, but there was also a mother who depended on her for her life. Her mother saw that the mother and daughter were having a hard time, and because she had listened to a few reviews under the overpass, she came up with this idea from the stories told by the storyteller. asked her daughter to stick a straw mark on her head, pretending to be an orphan girl and selling herself to bury her father, hoping that her daughter could be sold back by a prince and grandson.

It was also her mother and daughter who were lucky, Si'er inserted a grass mark under the overpass for three days, and was finally bumped into by a "prince and grandson" and bought her back, this "prince and grandson" is the fourth young master Zhao Yicheng who recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors three years ago in An Yuanbofu.

He also got his mother's instructions early in the morning, and wanted to find an opportunity to buy a girl to come back to his sister, lest all the maids around his mother and sister be sent by the second □□wife, and he didn't even have a person who knew the roots. Only then did he fall in love with the fourth son who sold himself to bury his father, bought it back, pestered Mrs. Tai and said it, and then sent the person to his sister Yifen's room.

Si'er and her mother live outside the house on the monthly money that her daughter takes out every month, Si'er thinks that she does it very secretly every time she sends money to her mother, so that her mother to the last day of each month, pretending to sell needlework to the back corner of the door, she pretended to buy needlework and gave the copper money to her mother, it can be said that she is unaware, even Zhao Yixuan doesn't know about this matter, how can the second wife know? also got the forehead wipe she made for her mother, does the second wife really know everything? That yourself......

"Si'er, you are a smart one, if you tell the truth, you are only instructed by your master to harm others, but you are just an accomplice, but if you still have to carry this black pot for your master, then it is the following crime, or the main culprit, when you are sent to the yamen, who will take care of your wife? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your mother, right? She did everything possible to let you into this mansion, didn't she let you go to the yamen to eat in prison? ”

Yifen saw that Si'er's face was getting more and more pale, her lips trembled and she wanted to speak, so she hurriedly spoke first: "Mother, Si'er did this alone, but what she put in the third sister's soup is just pepper, not something harmful, at most, at most, it is just a mistake, and there is no need to send it to the yamen!" ”

The second wife looked at her coldly, "You still have the face to call my mother, Sister Hui'er?" The paper bag is now filled with pepper, but what about the one before? Si'er doesn't know what's in it, didn't your aunt tell you? Xia Ju, go and call Aunt Hu and the two maids beside her. ”

For a while, Aunt Hu came over with her two maids, and when she saw the situation in the house, her daughter Yifen stood aggrieved and wiped her tears, and the girl in Si'er knelt on the ground with a frightened and tangled face, and her heart tightened, could it be that they were found when they did that? How can this be born?

Aunt Hu already had a ghost in her heart, so she saluted the second wife with anxiety, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the wife called the slave, but what is the order?" ”

"You are Brother Cheng and Sister Fen'er's mother-in-law, where do I dare to tell you anything? It's just that I invited my aunt to ask a few words! On the 25th of last month, my aunt Tuo Cheng'er's little maid Changgui went to the pharmacy outside to bring you a pack of croton back, I don't know where my aunt is uncomfortable, and she wants to use croton? ”

Aunt Hu wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Mrs. said laughing, slave, what does the slave want that thing for?" It's just that I asked Changgui to buy a pack, a pack of beans to eat as a snack! It's not a croton! ”

"Really?" The second wife sneered: "Pomegranate, tell your aunt again what you two heard that day!" ”

I saw the maid on the left behind Aunt Hu take a step forward and said: "At noon on the 26th of last month, the fourth girl came to see her aunt with her four sons, and the aunt let us out. ”

"No, the slave maid just walked to the door of the room, and I heard my aunt say to the fourth girl, 'My good girl, you just have to find an opportunity to spill the contents of this paper bag into the tonic soup that Sister Hui drinks on weekdays, and ensure that she can't get on the sedan chair to worship the next day to get married. ”

"Then the fourth girl asked her aunt, 'What if my wife doesn't agree?' ”

"The aunt said that this matter is coming, the sedan chair is outside the gate and can stop the marriage again, that is, it is not good to say, it must be found someone to replace the third girl on the sedan chair first, as long as the fourth girl told his wife that she was just carrying the name of her sister, and then said to Aunt Lu, although she worshipped the church, but she would never enter the cave room, and then let the third girl help the fourth girl say a few good words, and the wife agreed."

"As long as the fourth girl can be carried into the Xing'an Mansion in the name of the third girl, she will give the fourth girl a bag of things, just put it in Aunt Lu's tea, and she can make it a good thing for the aunt and the fourth girl. As long as the fourth girl and her aunt have a solid round house, and the raw rice is cooked into cooked rice, even if the third girl is sick, what can she do? ”

"My aunt also taught the fourth girl a word, so that she would tell the third girl that Aunt Lu was going to have sex with her, she knew that she was sorry for her sister, but she wanted to see her sister again, so that she would personally apologize for her sins, and then take a pair of scissors out to make a show, with the soft and pure heart of the third girl, she would definitely stop the fourth girl, and then fulfill her and Aunt Lu."

"That is, the wife will not be happy at that time, as long as she can move the three girls to make up their minds to fulfill her, the two sisters will never be able to change again, Aunt Lu will become the husband of the fourth girl, and the fourth girl will become the wife of the prince of Xing'an Bofu. If the wife doesn't believe it, just order someone to look in the fourth girl's room, and she will definitely find the bag of things that her aunt gave her to charm Aunt Lu! ”

When Yi Hui heard this, she looked at Yi Fen with disbelief. In the past three years, not only because Yifen had saved her, but also because this sister was well-behaved and soft, with a sweet mouth, and she liked her as a sister everywhere, she also treated this half-sister as her own sister.

Yifen didn't care about wiping her tears and pretending to be wronged, and hurriedly shouted: "Pomegranate, what nonsense are you talking about, I went to my aunt's room to sit for a while that night, but I said some gossip, when did I say these faint words, I and the third sister are the best, how can I go to rob my own sister's relatives?" You first eavesdropped on your master's words, and then you spewed blood here! ”

Aunt Hu also hurriedly said: "Yes, madam, this little hoof has always refused to obey my discipline and dispatch, and has been treacherous and lazy all day long, I have said a few words about her, and she has a grudge in her heart, so she made up these lies to frame me and the fourth girl, madam, don't be deceived by her!" ”

The second wife smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, if I really believe her, I will ask your mother and daughter a few days ago?" It's just that I didn't expect someone to really put something in Hui'er's tonic soup today, so I can't believe it? ”

"This ...... This ......" Aunt Hu stammered: "This is all Si'er's girl's ghost, and it has nothing to do with us, ma'am!" ”

"Irrelevant? Where did the pack of pepper come from, the pepper is not an easy thing to obtain, where did she get the spare money to buy this valuable thing, could it be that she went to the kitchen to steal it? Xia Ju, you go to the kitchen and ask, see if Si'er has been to them in the past few days, and let them see what is missing? ”

Xia Ju agreed, and was about to go out, but the second wife called out to her again, "Wait, let Xia He and Si'er go with you, and ask clearly in person, so as not to say that I wronged a good person!" ”

At one point, the two of them came back and said: "Mrs. Hui, I have asked several ladies in the kitchen, and they all said that Si'er has not been to the kitchen in the past few days, and the meals in our yard are all brought back by a special person, and they will not go to the kitchen when they are waiting for the girls, but the lotus flower in the aunt's room has been to the kitchen twice a few days ago." The ladies inspected it and said that the pepper in the cupboard was indeed much less! ”

The second wife looked at Lotus and asked meaningfully, "Lotus, what are you doing in the kitchen, didn't you steal the pepper that is missing in the kitchen?" ”

Aunt Hu saw that the second wife finally stopped pestering Si'er to ask, but asked about the lotus, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although this lotus flower was assigned by the second wife to serve her like the pomegranate, but because this lotus flower is not a family slave, the family is outside. Aunt Hu saw that she was not like a pomegranate, and the whole family was holding the deed in the hands of the second wife, so she secretly gave her a lot of small favors and gathered her over.

This lotus also knew gratitude, not only told her that she and Pomegranate were both sent by the second wife to see her aunt, but also heard some news from the second wife on her behalf, and had already become half of her confidants.

She gave Lotus a look and said, "Lotus, just tell me what you did when you went to the kitchen, and the lack of pepper has nothing to do with you." "As for where Si'er got the pepper, it depends on what the second wife can ask, as long as it's not harmful, let Si'er take down this crime, and it's considered to have passed this level.

Lianhua glanced at Aunt Hu and said, "Yes, if you go back to Mrs., it is your aunt who ordered the slave to go to the kitchen." On the 25th of last month, when my aunt and grandmother arrived in the evening, she suddenly asked the slave maid to go to the big kitchen and borrowed a copper mortar for pounding garlic, and gave me a bag of things, saying that I should grind several yellow-brown soybeans into flour. I asked my aunt what it was for, and she said it was poppy husks, and she said it was a seasoning she had found for her brother, so she had to grind it into powder. ”

The slave and maid did not know whether this poppy shell or the flavor condiment, the slave and maid only knew that the grandmother of the slave maid's family had been coughing since the beginning of winter, and asked the neighboring Dr. Guo to look at it a few times, saying that if you can find a few dollars of poppy shells into medicine, the cough is excellent. So the slave had the audacity to steal some pepper from the kitchen when she went to return the mortar the next day, and exchanged it for the aunt's bag of poppy husk powder. ”

Aunt Hu heard that the color had changed when she heard this, but the lotus flower went down again: "Who knew that when I took this packet of poppy shells home and asked Dr. Guo to see it, the doctor said that this is not poppy husk powder, but ......."

"And what?" The second wife asked.

Lianhua glanced at Aunt Hu again, and said: "It's croton powder, although the slave doesn't know what this croton does, but Dr. Guo said that this croton is a poisonous medicine, and it can't be eaten lightly. The slave saw that Dr. Guo said so much, and she didn't know what her aunt was going to do when she asked for this croton powder, and she was afraid that her aunt would not dare to mention it to her if she knew that I had changed her things, so she didn't dare to return this bag of croton flour to her aunt......"

"And where's this bag now?"

"The slave and maid thought about it for several days and didn't know how to cook this thing, and they were afraid that they would be found in the house, so they kept it on their bodies." After Lotus finished speaking, she took out a paper bag from her bosom and handed it over with both hands.

The second wife ordered Xia Ju to take it, and told Xia Zhu to ask a doctor to see if the paper bag contained croton powder. "When I came back, I happened to see that Mrs. Wu was invited to see Mrs. Wu in the fifth room, and I thought that I should finish the consultation here, so I went to the courtyard of the fifth room and invited Mrs. Wu to come over."

He said to Si'er again: "Si'er, you can hear it clearly, you know best in your own heart where the bag of things you put in the soup of the third girl came from, now you should know what should have been in the paper bag if it wasn't for the lotus replaced by pepper by mistake, and if the third girl really drank the tonic soup with the croton powder, what kind of trouble would it cause!" Do you still have to take the blame for the person behind it? ”
