Chapter 25: Auntie's Plea for Help (Part 1)
Hongfu Courtyard is not the same as before Qianning got married, and the furnishings in the courtyard have not changed.
From the moment she stepped into the courtyard, Qianning seemed to have returned to the days before she left the pavilion, those days of humiliation and forbearance, and the days when she depended on her sister and cared for each other.
The memories here are sweet and sour, bitter and happy, and for a while, Qianning's mood fluctuated and she was full of emotion.
"Second sister, you're back." The girl's voice that suddenly sounded pulled Qian Ning back to reality.
I saw Fang Ning wearing a pink dress and walking over from the backyard of Hongfu Courtyard.
Qian Ning was a little surprised, how could Fang Ning appear here? "Why did the fifth sister come to Hongfu Courtyard?" Qian Ning asked her own question.
"I heard that the second sister only stayed for half a day when she returned to the door, and she may not have time to sit in my Baihui Pavilion. And I miss my second sister again. I had to come to Hongfu Temple and wait. Although Fang Ning said this, her face also tried her best to show her admiration for Qian Ning, but unfortunately, the emptiness of her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.
This is not surprising, before leaving the cabinet, because of Zhong's dislike of himself, Fang Ning did not have much contact with him, let alone sisterhood. If he has only been married for three days, Fang Ning has a deep affection for himself, then he has to sigh that this fifth sister is deeply hidden.
Fortunately, Fang Ning is still the girl who is simply afraid of things, and no matter how deliberate she is, she can't do it without leakage. It's just that since Fang Ning didn't do it voluntarily, someone instigated her to come here.
And who else will there be besides Aunt Chu behind the back? It's just that this mother and daughter have tried their best to see themselves alone in Hongfu Courtyard, what will happen?
Qian Ning smiled and said lightly: "I didn't expect that I would get the attention of my fifth sister for three days after I got married." I was a little surprised. ”
As if she had done something bad and was caught, she blushed all of a sudden, and said, "I didn't expect my sister to marry to make me miss me like this........."
Pale and weak words are not convincing at all, Qian Ning will not debunk it, Aunt Chu also saw that Fang Ning is powerless, so she said: "It's a cold day, let's not stand outside, let's go inside." ”
Although no one lives in it, the house is warm, presumably burning the earth dragon.
Aunt Chu helped Qian Ning to sit on the main seat, and said with a smile: "Knowing that my aunt and grandmother are coming back today, I ordered someone to burn the earth dragon in Hongfu Courtyard last night, I am afraid that my aunt will come back and freeze." What do you think? Is the temperature in this room okay? ”
No matter what Aunt Chu's purpose was, Qian Ning was grateful for this meticulous and thoughtful arrangement: "It's very warm in the house, and Aunt Chu bothered about it." Seeing that Aunt Chu wanted to speak and stopped, she seemed to have something private to say. Qian Ning was relieved, and said to Lu Shui and the others: "I'll say something considerate to my fifth sister, you all go and rest." ”
After everyone left, Aunt Chu solemnly saluted Qian Ningfu: "Second aunt, please help our five girls." ”
Imitation Ning? What can Fang Ning do? Qian Ning was a little strange, and when she looked at Fang Ning again, she saw that she had a white face, her fingers twisted the corners of her clothes, as if she was afraid of something.
Could it be that in just three days, something happened at home?
Qian Ning asked, "What's wrong?" Auntie let's talk about it first. ”
"Actually, there were already some clues about this before you got married", Aunt Chu's face was full of sadness, and she swept away Fang Cai's words with a smile, "There is a stupid young son on the peak of the old man's yamen, and he found a fortune teller some time ago, saying that he wanted to find a girl with gold in his life, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl to be a doll, so that the stupid problem can be cured." It just so happened that Shangfeng heard that Fang Ning was about the same age, and he looked for someone to calculate it, and it was a gold in his fate. The old man had the intention of marrying Fang Ning Xu to that stupid child. I cried and begged the master several times to no avail. I really can't ask my aunt for it. I hope my aunt and grandmother will help Fang Ning for the sake of her sisters. After saying that, he actually shed tears.
And Fang Ning next to him couldn't help but choke.
No wonder when she got married that day, Aunt Chu gave such a valuable bracelet, it turned out that she had already calculated and begged for help.
It's just that her newlywed wife hasn't gained a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion, and she can't speak in her mother's house, how can she help with this?
Seeing that Qianning kept bowing her head and saying nothing, Aunt Chu was also anxious, and knelt on the ground and begged: "Second aunt, please, if you refuse to help, the fifth girl will be finished." ”
Fang Ning also walked over, knelt next to Aunt Chu, pulled her and cried: "Auntie, it's my life that is not good, if I really marry in the past, I will admit it." ”
"My girl, why are you so miserable......"
The mother and daughter hugged each other and wept, how pitiful and pitiful it was.
Qian Ning didn't look good, so she quickly helped Aunt Chu up first, and comforted: "Auntie, don't cry first." Fang Ning is my own sister, and if she can help, she will definitely help. ”
After Qianning's words, Aunt Chu stopped her tears: "The second aunt and grandmother are willing to help, and our five girls will be saved." He pulled Fang Ning over again: "Thank you, second aunt and grandmother." ”
Fang Ning obediently thanked him: "Sister, thank you, second sister." ”
Qian Ning hugged Fang Ning: "Don't say thank you yet, to be honest, I don't know why my aunt asked me for this matter, I don't know how I can help." ”
"This matter can really only be helped by the second aunt and grandmother", Aunt Chu has already controlled her emotions, "I have inquired, that Yamen Shangfeng is a distant relative of the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, as long as the second aunt and grandmother can help to intercede in front of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady will come forward, then Shangfeng will no longer be obsessed with this matter." ”
Big lady? Isn't that Liu's? It's just that Liu's temperament is still incomprehensible, and if she rushes out like this, I don't know if it will make her unhappy. Or will she give herself this face to help with this.
Qian Ning was hesitant, Aunt Chu felt a little unconfident in her heart, and said ruthlessly: "Fifth girl, you go out first, and I will say something to the second aunt and grandmother." ”
Fang Ning obediently retreated, but Aunt Chu didn't speak again, as if she was deep in thought, her expression was solemn.
"Aunt Chu, what else do you have to say?" Qian Ning was a little curious, what secrets did Aunt Chu have, even her own daughter couldn't hear it.
Aunt Chu came back to her senses, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes: "Second aunt and grandmother have doubts about the time when they came to Kwai Shui?" ”
Qian Ning was stunned, what does this have to do with Fang Ning's matter? He shook his head and said, "Is there anything strange about the time I came to Kwai Shui?" ”
"Most of the women came from the age of twelve, but the second aunt and grandmother came at the age of ten. And every time the second aunt and grandmother come, the sunflower water is not smooth, and it often brings blood clots. I don't know if I'm right? ”
Qian Ning was first surprised at how Aunt Chu knew so well about her coming to Kwai Shui, and then thought that she had changed the mat in the house on the day of her wedding, and she could see it clearly when she came to Aunt Chu. So he said, "My aunt saw the mat I changed on the day I got married, and it is not surprising that she knows this. ”
Aunt Chu smiled: "I didn't expect that the second aunt and grandmother are also careful." I did see the mat you changed that day, but I already knew about you, and what I saw that day was just a confirmation. Because ......" Aunt Chu paused, and then continued: "It's not an accident that you came to Kwai Shui so early, but you were poisoned. ”
"Poisoned?" Qian Ning thought that Aunt Chu would say something, but it turned out to be bluffing, "What kind of poison can I get?" Who will poison me? And when was it placed? How did Aunt Chu find out? ”
A series of questions were thrown, but let's see how Aunt Chu fulfilled her words.
Aunt Chu didn't panic, and answered these questions one by one: "The second aunt and grandmother are the ruthless and sterilized Xiaohua Jue, this poison is from outside the plug, and it was accidentally obtained by a caravan that day, and after being brought into my Song Kingdom, it flowed into the inner house, and was used by some poisonous women for private things. This poison will not kill people, but will only make the woman infertile, and this poison will not have an immediate effect, and must be taken when the woman is in the sunflower water to have an effect. The initial symptom is that the sunflower water arrives in advance, the blood is blocked, and it is easy to clump down. ”
"What Aunt Chu said seems to be conclusive and reasonable, but it is such a secret poison, how can Aunt Chu know?"
"Because of .........", Aunt Chu hesitated again, stayed for a moment, and continued: "Because this poison is from me." ”
