Chapter 41: Sister Hui pretends to have amnesia
"Sister-in-law, why did you go like this" Qiao Shi cried in front of Qin's coffin as soon as he entered the door.
She cried alone for a long time, only Xu's mother stepped forward to slightly support and persuade her to mourn, only to find that her nephew and niece were still on the side, only Sister Hui looked ignorant, Brother Xuan seemed to be asleep in Sister Hui'er's arms, looking at the wet eyelashes, thinking that she was tired of crying.
"Third girl, you mourn." Qiao Shi picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped away his tears, while comforting him warmly.
"Auntie, who are you? Mother Xu, why is she crying? Sister Hui looked at Mother Xu behind her with a pair of clear apricot eyes and asked
"This?" Qiao couldn't stop crying when he saw this, and he also looked at Xu's mother with wide eyes.
Mother Xu bowed to Qiao's blessing, and replied while wiping her tears: "God is pitiful, Mother Zhao didn't know what to say to Miss that day, the people guarding outside only heard Miss scream, fainted, and often had a headache when she woke up. ”
"Is there such a miracle in the world?" Qiao's suddenly realized that no wonder the princess wanted to speak and stopped, only saying that the doctor in the house was waiting for her at any time, thinking that she was afraid that she would not follow the palace in peace.
"Woo woo woo woo Mrs. old slave, I'm sorry you didn't take good care of Miss, the old slave just went with you." Mother Xu cried sadly, and when she saw that Sister Hui still didn't know anything, she seemed to feel even more guilty and blamed herself, so she simply hit the coffin.
Qiao's was shocked by this series of changes, and only reacted when Xu's mother fainted, and hurriedly asked the cuixiang cuizhu beside her to come forward to help.
"Don't be afraid, girl, I'm your third aunt, Mrs. An Ninghou, you are the young lady in our house, the daughter of the eldest master, the third in the house, let's take you and Brother Xuan back to the house, let's go back and take a good look at the doctor."
Sister Hui shrank into Qiao's arms and nodded in agreement.
"You say the kid has amnesia? But really? In Shoukang Hall, the old lady also asked in surprise
"The daughter-in-law inquired many times in the palace, and indeed Zhao's mother woke up after going that day and often shouted headaches, and the sister-in-law didn't remember anything when she got up this morning when she died, and this incident also alarmed the princess, and the daughter-in-law saw the princess's guilty look seems to be true, and the daughter-in-law also heard that Brother Xuan is not as good as in our house, saying that when she goes to the palace, she often looks stupid and doesn't speak."
After Qiao Shi finished speaking, he took a closer look at the old lady, but saw that she had closed her eyes and had no expression on her face, but the Nanzhu in her hand was turning a little faster than before.
She knew that as soon as the old lady heard that the person from Prince Ke's Mansion had reported that the Qin family had died of illness, she was overjoyed, and she insisted on pulling Zhao's mother to open a jar of fine wine at night and said something for half a night.
On the second day, he called her to Shoukang Hall, ordered to pick up the mother and son, and threw them into the mourning hall, and asked her to demolish the Jinyuan again and build it into a courtyard for the future brothers to marry their daughters-in-law. At that time, she knew that Sister Hui's sister and brother would not live long, and the old lady was waiting for the first seven days of the Qin family to let the two sisters and brothers follow their mother too much, because she would never leave two children with the hatred of killing their mothers to grow up by her side, but at this time she was not sure.
"You asked Brother Zhang to take the name card and go to the palace to ask Imperial Doctor Miao to come and take a look at the two children." After a long time, the old lady commanded in a deep voice.
"Cuixiang, go and tell the steward that Jinyuan won't be demolished first." As soon as he got out of Shoukangtang, Qiao's instructed Cuixiang to say.
Cuixiang also heard what the old lady said in Shoukangtang, but she was thinking about her and Zhao's mother scaring the third lady at this time, and she saw that the eldest lady and the third lady were going to fall out of favor, but now she was going to invite the imperial doctor, I am afraid that there are variables, if Zhao's mother is investigated in the future, she will just go around, but she can't eat and walk.
Regardless of the fact that he was walking on the road at this time, he knelt on the pebbles with a plop, his knees were numb for a while, and his mouth said: "Madam, the slave has important things to do, and I hope that Mrs. will forgive her sins." ”
"What are you doing here? Could it be Sister Hui'er? Qiao Shi saw that Cuixiang, who had always been extremely stable around him, was so disrespectful, and he understood it after a little thought.
"Get up, unorthodox, come with me." Qiao scolded softly, flicked his sleeves and walked to the high pavilion behind the path on the other side.
Because the terrain is slightly higher, you can see what is around at a glance.
"Say, what did you say to Mother Zhao that day, and the third girl was scared like this." Qiao Shi entered the pavilion and saw that there was no one around, so he asked.
Cuixiang hung her head and replied, "As soon as Mother Zhao finished saying that Mother Qin was torn and eaten by a dog that day, the third lady fainted, thinking that she was young and cowardly, so she was herself."
When Qiao Shi heard this, he looked at Cuixiang's anxious appearance, and the anger on his face was undoubtedly revealed, "What a mother Zhao, relying on the old lady's love for too many years to bully the lord like this, how can there be any dignity of the mother in charge of the family, this time the face of Anning Houfu has been lost, and you are too, why did you run away with her?" ”
"Slave slave slave maid panicked for a moment"
"Confused!" Qiao Shi looked at Cuixiang at this time, but thought that it would be okay if it was in the past, but at this time, as she guessed, the old lady was bound to explain to Sister Hui, and it would not be Mother Zhao who would come out to bear it, it would definitely be Cuixiang.
"I don't know if I can save you, you also look at it, the third girl is afraid that there is another creation, you try not to appear in front of the old lady these days, and I will arrange some other things for you."
Qiao Shi shook his head and regretted, resentful in his heart, what a slave, just be tricky and sleek on weekdays, I never thought that she was so unscrupulous, how could the people around her be so active, sooner or later she would have to get it back!
But on the other hand, as soon as Sister Hui and Brother Xuan were taken back to the house, the Qiao family handed them over to the people below to take care of, and those people didn't know that the meaning of the above had changed, so they only placed them in the mourning hall set up in Jinyuan.
Sister Hui couldn't take care of that much at this time, so she had to take advantage of the fact that there was no one else's stall at this time and explained to Brother Xuan: "Brother Xuan, are you okay to promise your sister, my sister can't tell you why now, but if there is a doctor, or someone else, just say that you don't remember the past or remember your mother and father, don't answer what you say, okay to say less on weekdays?" ”
Brother Xuan has always been proud, he doesn't want to be a little fool, so he only lowers his head and stubbornly doesn't speak.
"Chu Huaixuan! My mother said on her deathbed that you want to listen to your sister, don't you listen to your mother as soon as she leaves? "Sister Hui really has nothing to do, so she has to speak sharply.
Brother Xuan cried out all of a sudden, and looked at Sister Hui aggrievedly, "I don't want to forget that my mother is my sister, it's not right, sister, you shouldn't forget your mother." ”
"Okay, don't forget, let's not forget." Sister Hui wiped away her tears, hugged Brother Xuan'er and cried while responding.
"But Brother Xuan, you have to forget your grandmother, forget everything she has done to your mother, let's do these are what my mother wants us to do, you have to grow up safely, only if you come out of the way, those who hurt your mother will hurt."
Brother Xuan didn't refute this time, and nodded for a long time.
Sister Hui'er felt a pain in her heart, she didn't want Brother Xuan to grow up under such pressure, but Brother Xuan was already very stubborn at a young age, and only in this way did he have a good reason to endure it.
In the afternoon, Qiao's arranged several maids and wives for Jinyuan to help arrange the mourning hall.
Sister Hui and Brother Xuan also changed into filial piety clothes, and Mother Xu, the right-hand man beside Qiao's side, said some etiquette to pay attention to when the guests mourned tomorrow.
"Mom, I want to ask if Mother Xu is okay?" After Na Xu's mother finished speaking, she asked.
"Third Miss rest assured, the third lady has asked for a doctor for Xu's mother, and she will come back to serve in a few days." Mother Xu is a very kind-faced person who looks at her, speaks softly, and does not have the arrogance of an ordinary housekeeper, no wonder she can be the first person under Qiao's family.
"I'm relieved when my mother says this, I don't know many people here, so I have to ask Xu's mother." Sister Hui muttered quietly.
"Third Miss don't worry, slave maid" Before Mother Xu finished speaking, a voice of a maid sounded outside the door: "Third Miss, the old lady invites you and the Tenth Young Master to go to Shoukang Hall." ”
