Chapter 57: Catching the Adulterer
"Are you sure that if you become an aunt, you will definitely be able to help your wife?" Yuhua persuaded, "After all, let's get married in a few years." If you get married, if you have a position in the house or Zhuangzi, most of us will no longer be able to follow Mrs. Niang, so why do we have to do thankless work? β
Manna took a deep breath, let go of Yuhua's hand, and said, "I won't marry those people." β
Her expression became firm, and she said, "Everyone has their own aspirations, we are sisters, you have your ideas, and I also have what I want." β
Yuhua said in disbelief, "You...... Are you really going to fight for that aunt's place? β
Manna didn't react, and Yuhua saw that she acquiesced, so she said, "This can't work!" She took a step back and subconsciously said, "I have to tell Mrs. SΓΉ to go ......."
A cold light flashed in Ganlu's eyes, took her hand, and said softly, "This is just a thought in my heart, and it is also for the sake of my wife, so I made this decision." If you sue Mrs. now, my mind may be misunderstood, and Mrs. Teach me to be sad, we sisters, can you bear to see me end up like a wolf? β
Yuhua hesitated slightly, and Ganlu said, "Since you don't agree, let this matter go, I promise not to think like this in the future." β
Yuhua reluctantly agreed, and returned to the main house with a heavy heart.
After nightfall, Ganluku sat in the room, and waited until the third watch was beaten in the alley before standing up. She was not disheveled, put on her cloak and quietly went out to the gate of Zhengqiu Hall. As she passed by the main room, she glanced casually, and there was no light in the room. When she arrived at the gate, the little maid guarding the door was the little maid who gave her medicine when she injured her hand that day, and when she saw her coming, she opened the door lightly and said in a low voice, "Sister is really lucky, the Qiaozhi who was supposed to guard the door with me tonight has been transferred to the lady's room, and I have to support her in the province, and now I am the only one on duty at night." β
Manna nodded to her absentmindedly, dodged out the door, and walked along the darkness to the large kitchen.
In the main room, Songyan thought about Shao Ding's lost look during the day on the stepping bed, so he tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep.
Since the Midyear Festival, Songyan has made the maids on duty sleep on the Luohan bed outside. It was Yuhua who was on duty today, and she couldn't sleep when she thought about the nectar, and when she heard that there had been movement here in Songyan, she walked over and asked quietly, "Madam, I'll pour you a glass of water to drink." β
Songyan agreed, and Yuhua lifted the kettle from the small tea stove on the side and poured a glass of water for Songyan. Songyan sat up, leaned on the head of the bed, took the water cup and put it on the low cabinet, and beckoned Yuhua to come and sit down. Yuhua smiled shyly and sat down on the pedal. The two of them were slightly distracted, sighed in unison, and then stunned at the same time, looking at each other and smiling.
Songyan looked at her carefully and asked first, "What's wrong?" Yuhua also has something on her mind? β
Yuhuaqiang said with a smile, "It's nothing...... she hesitated, looked at the pine smoke that looked at her kindly under the light, and said, "Madam, I have one thing to ask you, don't blame me for exceeding the rules, okay?" β
Song Yan laughed and said, "You want to ask me, why is it so good to Hou Ye?" β
Yuhua nodded.
Song Yan thought for a while, and said half-truthfully, "Actually, I have always admired a soldier like Hou Ye who threw his head and spilled his blood for the peace of Da Chu. It's been so long since the past, I don't want to hold on to it anymore. Over the years, I've had a hard time, Master Hou, but the son of the world is also having a hard time. Now that I've put it down, I hope to make up for Hou Ye and Shizi more. β
When she said Shao Ding, she couldn't help but sigh again, and said, "It's just that every time I see Hou Ye, I feel like I can't find a way to get close to him across thousands of mountains and rivers from him." β
Yuhua thought of what Ganlu said today, and couldn't help but ask, "Then have you ever thought about finding someone to make a gentle transition between you and Hou Ye?" β
Songyan asked, "What does this mean?" β
Yuhua remembered that she had promised the nectar and would not tell Mrs. SΓΉ for the time being, so she shook her head with a forced smile and explained that she was just mentioning it casually.
Songyan smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip of water gently, and suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door outside the door.
She was about to ask who it was, but Songyan had already ordered, "Open the door, it should be Qiaozhi." β
"Qiaozhi?" Yuhua was puzzled, seeing that Songyan was confident, she suddenly felt strange to her, when did Mrs. and Qiaozhi have a tacit understanding?
In a small room in the large kitchen to store miscellaneous items, a young man of young age was waiting, and when he saw manna coming, he eagerly greeted him. Ganlu let him take his hand, and the man said, "You haven't been to see me for a few days since the day of the Midyear Festival. β
Ganlu said softly, "It's not that you don't know, I went to Qixia Courtyard." β
The man said, "Thank you to the two aunts of Qixia Academy, if they hadn't asked my mother to set you up, how could I marry a lady like you?" β
Ganlu patted him lightly and said, "You haven't married yet, what are you talking about?" Also, the two aunts just let me know that there is such a person as you, and it was I who left my face and took the initiative to let the little maid contact you, so that you and I are today, you know? β
"Yes, yes, or is it your credit," the man laughed, hugged the manna, and whispered in her ear, "in a few days, let the mother go to the lady to kiss ......."
Ganlu clenched her hands, her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, she still had a smile on her face, and said in the man's ear, "It's just that there is one more thing, the maid who is in the same room with me seems to have found out about our secret meeting in private, and we don't get along on weekdays, she will definitely sue Mrs. SΓΉ, you have to help me again." β
The man pushed the nectar away in shock and said, "Why do you want to do such a thing again?" Last time, it was a fluke that we didn't find out about that blood! β
Ganlu was pushed crooked by him, but he didn't make a sound, just stood up straight and continued, "What happened last time, it was Wu'er who inquired about the dog's blood, I just asked you to use your mother's relationship to sell it to her through the big kitchen." β
The man grabbed his hair in pain, paced back and forth in the room, and said, "I think of a little maid in the inner courtyard, even if I find some dog blood, I want to do something, when the time comes, I must not have the courage to start, I never expected that she really did it, and it was you who brought someone to ask her." I heard that the little maid swallowed gold and died, since she had the courage to be disrespectful, why was she afraid to swallow gold and commit suicide? β
Manna snorted and said, "You mean to say that I killed Wu'er?" β
The man choked up when he heard this, but did not say anything to refute it. Ganlu sighed, her attitude softened again, and said, "You can't misunderstand me like this, no matter how much I hate Wu'er, Xue Ya, who always looks at people with her nostrils on weekdays, will not personally force them to death." In your heart, I'm such a vicious person? β
Her eyes looked at the man with a little flattery, and the latter was scolded by this soft language, and felt that she was thinking too much, so she hugged her and said, "You are really cruel to me. β
Manna hammered him on the shoulder and said, "This matter has long been forgotten, Wu'er is dead, Xueya is crazy, in this deep mansion compound, everyone is unable to protect themselves, who else remembers the two of them?" Look at these days, who is talking about the two of them again? You can rest assured, it can't be held accountable to you and me. β
The man's heart calmed down a little, and asked, "In the next few days, my mother will propose marriage, and our affairs will be clear. β
Ganlu pursed her lips and said, "How can this be done, Madame is in charge, and she has always only cared about her own happiness, didn't your mother just eat and hang up in the big kitchen, and almost lost her errand?" In the future, when I marry you, I will not be able to serve by my wife's side all the time like now, and you know that this maid who looks at me unpleasantly will not take advantage of my absence to give me eye medicine in front of my wife? When the time comes, do you and your mother still want to touch my light? β
The man said reluctantly, "Then what do you want me to do?" β
Seeing that he agreed, Ganlu couldn't help laughing, and asked softly in his ear, "Do you know that there are any medicines that can make people take them in a daze and be at the mercy of others?" β
As soon as the man heard this, he understood, and he was very scared, and he couldn't care about the tenderness and sweetness of the manna, so he scolded directly, "Are you crazy? β
Manna was confident about to convince him again, when the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and several sturdy women entered. Someone lit a bright lamp, and the room was as bright as day, and a big girl with a sinking face was hugged and walked in, and after standing still, she said, "I also want to ask her if she is crazy." β
Ganlu's heart jumped, and she shouted in despair, "Yuhua ......"
