Chapter 22: Hidden
That night, Qin's mother suddenly fell mad and died in the firewood room in the middle of the night.
The eldest lady fell asleep peacefully.
Mother Qin knows too many secrets about her, and this person is bound to not survive.
When she got up in the morning, Mother Sun came in to serve, and she whispered in the eldest lady's ear: "Mother Qin's affairs have been dealt with, she died in the middle of the night last night, don't worry." β
The eldest lady sighed slightly, folded her hands and chanted the Buddha, and after a long time, she half-lowered her eyelids and said, "Since she is gone, then take care of her family and send fifty taels of silver over first......
Mother Sun nodded.
ββ¦β¦ Also, I ordered someone to send some lamp oil to Yan Yatou. The eldest lady thought about it for a while, and then considered, "Let's send two more taels of bird's nest." β
She said, "After all, she was injured last night, and the old lady went to ask again, I can't do nothing!" β
Mother Sun snorted, "Mrs. is thoughtful. β
"As for Mother Qin's shortcomings, I have to find the right person to top." The eldest lady sat up straight, took the hot tea handed by Mother Sun, and took a sip gently.
When Mother Qin was there, every movement of Mu Yan was under her control, and now that Mother Qin is gone, she always has to re-install people to keep an eye on Mu Yan's every move.
"You should also pay attention to this provocative thing for me." The eldest lady gently put down the teacup, "Just pick a mother-in-law who has believed in it and send it over to serve the girl." β
"What should Xia Xiang do with it?" Mother Sun frowned and asked, and said in a low voice, "Xia Xiang's old son and mother are waiting in front of the third wife." β
"I know." The eldest lady raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and said in a calm tone, "Because of this, I didn't continue to interrogate her last night. β
"But after all, she stole the lamp oil...... "Mother Sun pursed her lips.
"......," the eldest lady was silent for a moment, "you go and sue Mrs. SΓΉ first and then tell Xia Xiang to let her bite her to death and steal it only once." Standing at the corner of his eye, he admonished, "Also, let her not bite out anyone, she has to bear it with all her might, otherwise, no one will be able to cover her." β
The eldest lady knows that everyone in this deep house compound has a relationship, just like a dense cobweb, once you bite out one, you will bite out the second, and the third, the cobweb will also break and crumble......
The more people who bite out, the more people will be implicated.
Mother Sun said cautiously, "What about the old lady?" β
ββ¦β¦ God's wife, I'll go back there. The eldest lady waved her hand and said lightly, "You go, go and deliver things first." β
Mother Sun went as she was told.
The weather outside is good, sunny and full of flowers.
Mu Yan ordered someone to move a chair and sit under the grape trellis to read, her arm was injured, and the matter of going to the old lady's room to copy scriptures was postponed for a few days.
The sun falls on the body, and it is indescribably leisurely.
Mu Yan smiled on his lips.
Taohong was also happy to look at it, and handed over a plate of red dates with a smile, "Girl, you shed so much blood yesterday, eat a date to make up for it." β
The dates on the plate are lovely red in the sun.
Without Qin's mother's noise, Mu Yan was in a good mood and cocked his little finger to pick up a date and put it in his mouth, and as soon as he took a bite, he heard Taohong whisper, "Mother Qin died last night......"
Qin's mother's death, no one in the Zhusheng Courtyard dared to talk to Mu Yan last night.
Mu Yan's hand holding the jujube trembled, in fact, she already knew in her heart that the spider silk between the eldest lady and Qin's mother was connected, and once Qin's mother happened, the eldest lady would not let her live, but she didn't expect Qin's mother's death to come so quickly and so early.
Mu Yan sighed slightly in his heart, put down the dates, folded his hands and recited the Buddha.
Is it a life......
"The girl is sad?" Peach blinked and comforted, "She can't live for her own sin, and she deserves it." β
Mu Yan smiled faintly and said softly, "It's not sad, it's just that I feel that life is not easy, and human life is even more fragile." She raised her eyebrows, looked up at the sparse sunlight through the vines, and sighed, "So, let's live well, keep our little life, and live is the most important ......."
When you die, you are like dust, and there is nothing left.
Peach laughed and handed over another date, "Then let's live well." β
The two looked at each other and laughed.
As soon as Mother Sun entered the courtyard, she heard laughter, walked up and asked with a smile, "Miss Yan, why are you smiling so happily?" β
Seeing that it was Mother Sun, Mu Yan hurriedly got up and greeted her, "Mother is here, please come in." He smiled lightly and said, "This girl is afraid that I will be bored, so she tells jokes to make me laugh, so that my mother will laugh." β
After entering the house, Mu Yan personally poured a cup of hot tea for Mother Sun, and said with a warm smile, "Mom, please drink tea." β
Mother Sun hurriedly waved her hand, "How can Miss Lao pour tea for me personally, you can't ...... it?"
Although she is the person next to the eldest lady, she has experienced the incident last night, and she does not dare to put up a stand in front of Mu Yan at will, in case it reaches the ears of the old lady, it is not a good thing.
She excused herself from drinking.
Mu Yan said sincerely, "It's just a bowl of tea, mom doesn't have to be polite." After a pause, he said softly, "Furthermore...... My mother has been serving my wife carefully, and those of us who have received her kindness should be grateful, so I should pour you a bowl of tea, and you can drink it. β
Mother Sun was thoughtful.
Mu Yan seems to be much more obedient and sensible......
She said "politely", but she drank all the hot tea and put the teacup before saying, "Mrs. is sympathetic to the girl's injury last night, and specially asked me to send two taels of bird's nest to the girl's body." β
Mother Sun ordered someone to bring bird's nest and lamp oil, and pointed to the lamp oil, "This is the lamp oil in my wife's own room, she evened half of it to the girl, and the girl should be able to last until the end of the month." β
Mu Yan looked sincerely frightened, and said with gratitude in his eyes, "Let my wife break the bank, my arm is actually not a big problem, and I don't need such a valuable thing......"
Mother Sun raised her eyebrows and smiled.
This kind of bird's nest is not a luxury in Mu Mansion, but as far as Mu Yan's identity is concerned, she can't eat these things at all in her daily life.
Now that the eldest lady has given her two taels of bird's nest, it is naturally a great grace.
Mu Yan's reaction made Mother Sun very satisfied, and when she went back, she immediately told the eldest lady all of Mu Yan's reactions, and said proudly, "Didn't you see Miss Yan's sincere and frightened expression, and thank you vigorously." β
The eldest lady sat on the couch and snorted disdainfully, "But two or two bird's nests like her like that, if she is served with silk and satin delicacies every day, won't she be crazy with joy......"
She sneered and said coldly, "If you haven't seen the world, you haven't seen the world...... and said fiercely, "It's my yang'er." β
However, Mother Sun didn't know that Mu Yan didn't pay attention to the two taels of bird's nest at all.
How can a person who has relived a life be obsessed with these things?
This is just a means for her to confuse Mother Sun and the eldest wife.
The more well-behaved and docile she is, the more the eldest lady will relax her vigilance against her, and she will be able to act more smoothly in the future.
