Chapter 34: Surprise
Late at night, Shen Qinrou leaned on the head of the bed, holding the curls in a daze.
Liu Lu took the silver hairpin and lit the candle center, turned around and said with concern: "Miss wants to read the book and read it again during the day, keep your eyes carefully, it's not early, it's better to rest early." ”
Shen Qinrou came back to her senses and smiled at her, and put the scroll on the bedside, "It doesn't matter if you read the book or not, I'm only worried about the big sister's side." ”
Liu Lu walked to the side of the bed and straightened the quilt, also looking worried, then looked at Shen Qinrou and asked, "Third Miss, are you credible in what Mother Zhu said?" ”
Shen Qinrou looked up at her and asked with a smile, "What do you say?" ”
Liu Lu lowered her head and stopped talking, and after a while, she thought for a while before saying, "The eldest lady Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she is protected by the old lady, so she will be fine." ”
"I hope so." Shen Qinrou replied in a low voice.
The whole thing seemed to be very simple, but she filtered the matter and what Zhu's mother said in her mind three times, and suddenly had a sense of surprise.
I can't help but wonder if a qiē is really that simple.
If there is a mastermind behind this, who will it be?
On the surface, Aunt Tong's side and Shen Qinya fought a lose-lose battle, Aunt Zhou had no children and no daughters, she was in a corner, and she was not hindered, and the one who benefited the most was undoubtedly the one who returned to Nanguiyuan.
Nangui Hospital, Shen Qinrou thought about it again and excluded her, without her, first, Shen Qinxin didn't have the ability to stir up trouble in Songhe Hall. The second is that Shen Qinxin is a smart person, and the things that Mrs. Shen doesn't like her must be true, and in this case, if she wants to go to Mrs. Shen's eyelids, it is no different from looking for death.
Her second sister is a life-saving person.
Then exclude going to Nangui Temple, Blowing Snow Temple, Qiutong Temple, then Chunlan Temple.
But Aunt Zhou, why did she do that? There's no motivation.
Since she doesn't compete for favor and has no children, what is her picture? Even if she disturbs the situation in the Shen Mansion, even if Old Lady Shen believes in pampering Aunt Da Zhou, she will never let a slave and maid who has no children and no daughters take the throne.
But apart from Aunt Zhou, there is no one to doubt.
All of a sudden, this matter reached a dead end, and Shen Qinrou could only put it down and not mention it for the time being.
However, Aunt Zhou is indeed a character worth pondering, in the past, she was content in a corner, and Shen Qinrou only knew that she was a person who couldn't be more amiable than her family.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's going to be discounted.
Aunt Zhou, it's not necessarily how clean.
If Aunt Zhou is really a simple and loving person, why did she provoke Mother Zhu to be taboo against her, and would rather put her niece in the remote courtyard of Blowing Snow Courtyard than in Aunt Zhou's Chunlan Courtyard.
Mother Zhu has been in the house for many years, she is deaf and clear-sighted, and her actions are more than eight points older than her, and her attitude towards Aunt Zhou will never be targetless.
She was a little suspicious when Mother Li bit Aunt Zhou out last time, but she was determined to be Mother Li at that time, not Aunt Zhou, and according to the shape at that time, Mother Li must have no way to live, and Songhetang had no place for her to speak, so she kept her suspicions in mind.
Maybe Mother Li really gambled with Cuihuan, maybe she did threaten Aunt Zhou with Mother Li's bold nature, or maybe Aunt Zhou really gave Mother Li fifty taels.
But! What a coincidence of the silver! Under the bed, no more, no less, just fifty taels is too suspicious, especially in terms of time.
The day before, Mrs. Zhao was still arguing with Li's mother, forcing her to remove the hairpin, and the next day Li's mother had fifty taels under the bed?
Mrs. Zhao's gang is not a good stubble, otherwise it would be impossible to take away her silver jewelry from Li's mother, such a shameless person who wants money and shamelessness, wouldn't he have turned Li's mother's house upside down earlier? Hmph, if Mother Li can keep a few more coppers, she has the ability, if she really has the fifty taels of silver, I am afraid that she would have found it out for Mrs. Zhao, how can she let Mother Li continue to drag and owe?
Mother Li really has a large amount of money in her hand, and she dares to put it in the open, so why take the risk of stealing flowers.
This in itself is a big loophole.
If it wasn't for Li's mother's original, could it have been planted for her?
Fifty taels no more, no less, just matches Aunt Zhou's confession, if someone plants dirty, it is undoubtedly Aunt Zhou.
She wanted her words to be implemented, so she planted Mother Li.
But why did she do that?
Maybe she knew that Mother Li's deeds would bite her out after she was detained, so she prepared a hand in advance.
But even if the big girl around her is a gambler, it's not a big deal for her to stuff people's mouths with money, so why should she mess Mother Li?
That can only show that there has been a dirty relationship between the two of them, or they have hooked up and committed adultery a long time ago, or she really has some tricks in the hands of Li's mother, and it is a big deal, and it is by no means as simple as she mentioned.
What's the big deal about that?
Now that Li's mother is dead, there is no proof of death, and even if there is any secret between them, there is no way to verify it.
This clue is also broken.
Shen Qinrou rubbed her eyebrows and felt a headache.
Also, who put the fifty taels of silver into the bed splint silently?
The person sent by Mrs. Shen to search must be someone she trusts and feels safe, and it should be impossible to hide the silver in front of so many people, so the most likely thing is that there is a thief in the courtyard! But at that time, many maids and wives in the courtyard were still there, and now most of them have been sent out, and it is difficult to go to the inventory.
Thinking about Mother Zhu's ambiguous attitude of not going to Aunt Zhao and putting people on her side.
Shen Qinrou's heart sank.
I'm afraid that there is someone else around Aunt Zhao, it may be an old lady, or someone else. If there is really someone around Aunt Zhao who is a thief, who will that person be?
At the same time, as soon as Zhu's mother dared to put the thrush next to her, at least it showed that the people around her should be clean for the time being.
Regarding what Zhu's mother said, Shen Qinrou did not doubt that those old and refined people ate more salt than she ate rice, and they were naked and had a niece, so they would not push the niece into the fire pit.
She didn't have anything to show her here.
Zhu's mother is willing to sell her a good now, it must be for the thrush, she must know something else, but if she wants her to spit out more, I'm afraid it's impossible, she doesn't have the chips in her hand that make Zhu's mother excited, and the more Zhu's mother says, the more dangerous she is.
Shen Qinrou sighed.
She summed up her thoughts well, that is, Aunt Zhou has a problem, and Aunt Zhao has a thief by her side.
Even if you know it, what if you suspect that Aunt Zhou has a problem, what about the evidence? No! So it can only stay at the stage of doubt. Aunt Zhao has a thief around her? Several maids have been loyal to Aunt Zhao for many years, and it would be unfair to suspect others without evidence.
Shen Qinrou scratched her head irritably, and she was not in the mood to sleep, so she simply wrapped herself in a single coat and pushed the window to blow the wind.
The breeze and the moon are bright, and the flowers are fragrant, but unfortunately the people under the moon are not in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
Suddenly, the lights on the opposite south wall are actually on!
