Chapter Sixty-Eight: There Is No Silver in the Land
"Miss, what did you say the fourth miss is here for?" Sang Lan was a little happy when she saw Luo Jiao leaving so quickly, so she asked Miss why she came.
Luo Rao didn't answer immediately, but gently took a bite of the almond crisp, chewed it carefully, tasted the sweetness of the pastry, swallowed it slowly, and then said slowly, "There are three things she wants to know about here." First, I came back from the Infinite Mountain. Naturally, she knew the benefits of this place, and wanted to see if there was any way for her to go into the mountains to practice; Second, she thought that I had almost learned when I returned to the General's Mansion, so she wanted to test my ability and see what the Infinite Mountain could turn me into. ”
"As for the third." She frowned slightly, paused for a long time, and suddenly realized that she sighed with a smile, "So that's the case." ”
Seeing Luo Rao's expression, Sang Lan was very puzzled, like a cat's paw constantly scratching in her heart, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what did you think of?" ”
"Don't understand? I don't know? I don't know? Luo Rao asked three times in a row, hanging Sang Lan's appetite.
Sang Lan was a little anxious, "Miss, tell the slave quickly, the slave really can't guess." ”
"Why do you think she came here to ask about her mother? According to her temperament, if my mother was sick, she must have thought it would be the best, but she went so far as to come and ask me if I was going to visit my mother. In my opinion, my mother's illness is inseparable from her, and it can really be said that there are no three hundred taels of silver here. ”
According to what Miss said, Sang Lan made a speculation, "So Madame's illness has another hidden secret, not Aunt Li's doing, but the fourth lady, a concubine that everyone doesn't care about?" ”
Luo Rao nodded, and thought of Li Xue's weak look, "It can't be said that it has nothing to do with Aunt Li, it may be that they did it together." So the third purpose of her coming was to test how much I knew about my mother's etiology, but she didn't expect that I would push her back on the charge of unfilial piety, and now she is afraid that she is still in the house in shock. ”
"It must be like this, Miss's trick is good, Miss Four has always been very far-reaching, when the cousin and Miss were playing together, she always had to get involved." After finishing speaking, she looked at Luo Rao, and saw that she really didn't react to her cousin at this time, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to speak.
Later, when the old man had that plan, she began to jump up and down again, staring at the five princes. But if it's a young lady, she always has to grab it. Now, if she is accused of this crime, no family will want a concubine who is not filial to her mother. Now, she must be in a hurry in the house. ”
Luo Rao patted Sang Lan's head, "You're smart." But don't be too happy, she will definitely come up with a way to prove that she is not disrespectful to her mother-in-law, some things don't need to be taken too seriously, as long as she pretends to be, others will believe it. ”
Sang Lan was suddenly worried, she scratched her head and didn't come up with a countermeasure, she rubbed her hair even more messy, and still had no solution, so she had to ask: "Miss, what should I do?" ”
"She has a good plan, I have a wall ladder. Don't worry. Luo Rao patted Sang Lan's hand and signaled her not to worry.
Although she comforted Sang Lan, Luo Rao was still a little confused, "The key is to find the cause of my mother's illness, I'm afraid I'm going to be busy in the next few days." ”
Luo Rao didn't know what they used to make her mother sick, she had to check it the same. This is exactly the reason for calling Aunt Li over to serve the sick, if you want to see what is wrong, she will show her feet from it.
Although Aunt Li is not the person who seems to be gentle and weak, she is still a little rusty to do these things, so she will let her see the clues in Yixue Courtyard. Luo Rao wanted to see if she could do her another favor and find out the cause of her mother's illness in the secluded house.
"Miss, the account books and keys you want have been brought." Bi Zhi was very excited, she didn't expect that these things would be so smooth, because often when asking others to hand over the rights of stewardship, they would procrastinate, and they would find some excuses to prevaricate.
"Surprised?" Luo Rao raised her eyebrows and looked at Bizhi.
"Of course, the slave didn't expect it to go so well."
Luo Rao smiled, "It's not because of your prestige in Yixue Courtyard, you think about it, the expressions of those people when you went to ask for the key, and then how you handed over the key." ”
Bi Zhi was also happy when she thought about that scene, and she was about to run to the door one by one, but she said that she had come with the key to take the account book, so she quickly handed it to her, and then quickly slipped away.
"At that time, they all watched how you beat that mother-in-law. Nine times out of ten, they listened to the sound and felt that it hurt to look at it, you may not have noticed, the mother-in-law had a tooth that fell out, and the pain was numb, and she would definitely find it when she went back. Luo Rao covered her mouth and looked at Bi Zhi with a smile.
Luo Rao laughed and said, "My Bizhi girl will probably become famous in the future." ”
"Miss, don't be kidding, the slave doesn't know how her strength has become so great after exercising, she really didn't work hard at the time, who knew that the woman was so unbeaten."
Sang Lan laughed when she heard Bi Zhi say this, "Yes, it's the mother-in-law's problem, not my sister's fault." ”
"You girl, begging for a beating." Bi Zhi raised her hand, and she was about to hit Sang Lan.
"Sister is about to spare me, I don't dare, I don't want to be like that mother-in-law, I don't even have a tooth." Sang Lan smiled and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Alright, don't make a fuss." Luo Rao waved her hand to calm them down, "I have already discussed the matter of the head of the family with my father, and he has never objected. You're going to have to work harder from now on. These people have only been suppressed by you for a while, and there may be various reasons to deal with them in the future, and it is not so easy to take charge. ”
"Yes, miss."
"And during this time, you have to be careful not to be caught in the wrong place. On weekdays, you can take out whatever you want, listen and watch more, and pay more attention to your surroundings. Bi Zhi, you quietly inquired, when Aunt Li was the housekeeper, what did these subordinates say. ”
In fact, when she said this, Luo Rao already had some spectrum in her heart, because when they entered Yixue Courtyard, the attitude of those people said everything, how could they all watch an aunt act, the wind direction of the General's Mansion must be reversed.
Otherwise, her father dotes on Aunt Li so much, and Luo Jiao is so shrewd, if she doesn't hurry up, where will there be a place for her mother and herself in the future, maybe she will have to look at their faces in the future. My mother is sick again now, what if my father gives Aunt Li a flat wife? Although these things did not appear in her previous life, even she herself can be reborn, what else will not change?
The next day, Bi Zhi walked in briskly from outside the door, her eyes shining, and she said with admiration: "Sure enough, as Miss expected." ”
