Chapter Eighty-Six: The Master Is Dead
Yao slowly put down the teacup, glanced up at Mama Li, and said, "What's so panicked, let's talk about it quickly." β
Old Madam Fan nodded lightly at Mama Li, signaling her to speak out without worrying.
Mama Li understood, so she had to whisper: "There is news from the Li family, and it is ...... Said that Master Li was gone. β
"What? Master Li is gone! What the hell is going on? Yao exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly asked, "What about Brother Hua?" And where is he? β
Old Madam Fan held Yao's cold hand, looked at Mama Li on the side with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "You tell everything you know." β
"Yes, old lady." Mama Li responded, and then continued: "I heard that a relative of the Li family found Master Li's body by Qingtang Lake. When the body surfaced ashore, it was soaked in the lake and turned blue and fat, as if it had drowned. The Li family didn't believe it, and suspected that someone killed him, so they went to the official yamen to report the case. As for the young master, the Li family said that they don't know where the young master is now? β
Hearing this, Yao cried bitterly, looked at Mrs. Fan, and was speechless sadly.
"How's that for good? This happened in less than half a month, my poor grandson......" Old Madam Fan felt a touch of pain in her heart, and murmured in a low voice: "Go!" Go and call the eldest lady over, I have something to ask her. β
When Mama Li heard this, she hurriedly responded.
Yao came back to his senses and said to Mrs. Fan in confusion: "Mother is suspicious of the eldest sister-in-law?" β
Old Madam Fan showed a trace of tiredness on her face, and sighed softly: "How is your sister-in-law doing?" You still can't believe it? I'm just worried that she's being involved for no reason, and that affects her a lot. β
Yao quickly shook his head and replied, "The daughter-in-law believes that the sister-in-law is not the kind of adulterous villain. β
"Well, it's good if you know." Old Madam Fan looked at her with obvious appreciation in her eyes. This is a good thing for her in the third room.
After about a pillar of incense, the Huang family of the big house walked in in a hurry.
Huang saluted Mrs. Fan with a look of affection, and then stood aside and asked, "Mother, why are you in such a hurry to find your daughter-in-law over?" β
Old Madam Fan was silent for a long time, looking at her with burning eyes, and her sword-like eyes seemed to tear out a piece of flesh from her.
This kind of look has never appeared on the mother's face. This couldn't help but make Huang a little frightened.
She lowered her head and whispered flatteringly: "Mother, if you have something to say, just say it." The daughter-in-law must know everything. There is no end to the words. β
Old Madam Fan snorted, glanced at her lightly, and said in a cold voice: "Brother Hua is missing, don't you know anything about it?" That Li Daxing was found by someone you sent. Now he is dead in Qingtang Lake...... The people of the Li family have already sent someone to report to the official. Have you figured out how to deal with it? β
When Huang heard this, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "This, how can this be?" The daughter-in-law inquired, Li Daxing is an expert in water, and it is impossible for him to drown. Is there a misunderstanding in this? β
Old Madam Fan carefully examined her expression, shook her head and sighed, and said bitterly: "You! Let me say what is good about you? Usually a careful and cautious person. Now I don't know what to do. If you let the old man know, I can't help you. β
"Mother. The daughter-in-law has been wrongedβ" Huang cried out in shock, this happened too suddenly, and she couldn't accept it for a while. After pondering for a moment, Fang said, "Mother, there is something strange about this matter!" Li Daxing would never have drowned, someone must have wanted to frame his daughter-in-law and deliberately blame her daughter-in-law for this. Mother, think about it, your daughter-in-law has no grievances with him, why do you want to harm him? and Brother Hua, who is his mother's grandson, and his daughter-in-law can't hurt him too late, so how can he hide Brother Hua? β
Yao, who was sitting on the side, helped her to sit on the kang and comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't get excited!" Niang is not suspicious of you, but considering the situation of the Li family, they are bound to point the finger at you. So the mother means to let you think about the countermeasures so that you can be prepared. β
Huang suddenly cried in frustration, blaming himself for everything. If it weren't for the worries of his mother and Hua Ge'er to find Li Daxing to learn water, they wouldn't have had an accident.
However, she also agreed that Li Daxing would take Hua Ge'er out of the house, and she was somewhat responsible, because she trusted others too much, which caused her to cause this trouble for no reason.
Now, the most important thing is how to explain to her about Hua Ge'er's disappearance.
"Mother, you can't hide this from the lotus girl, why don't your daughter-in-law tell her?" Huang jumped off the kang and was about to leave.
Old Madam Fan stopped her and said, "Come back!" Don't talk about it over there. When Ming'er gets up, I'll go with you to see her. β
"Yes, mother." Huang and Yao replied in unison.
Old Madam Fan looked tired, yawned, waved her hand at the two of them, and said, "It's not early, you all go down and rest." β
Huang and Yao answered softly, and then left Jiaying Pavilion and went back to their rooms.
Early the next morning, Tang Shaohe woke up from the bed collapse, lifted the quilt and called, "Jinghua? β
"Miss, Young Master Hua didn't return last night." Xia Tian and Qiu He stood on the edge of the bed and looked at her, and said with slightly red eyes.
Tang Shaohe came back to his senses, lifted the quilt, put on his boots, and said urgently: "Quick, fetch water for me to freshen up and change clothes." I'm going to go out of the house with my third aunt to pick up Jinghua back. β
A layer of mist appeared under the eyes of the two girls, and they responded to the promise with gloomy expressions, and then got busy for her.
Tang Shaohe naturally understood the thoughts of the two girls in her heart, but she couldn't make up her mind herself, who let her younger brother not come back?
She regrets it so much that her intestines are green at the moment! Why don't you go out with your brother? Why are you so comfortable handing over your brother to an unfamiliar stranger?
The reason is the eldest aunt, right? If it weren't for the eldest aunt's blind boasting about Master Li, she wouldn't let her younger brother follow him.
Now, with all this happening, she can only go to Master Li in person.
Ask him clearly, why do you have to go out of the house to learn water? Why don't you send my brother home after studying?
Tang Shaohe didn't even eat breakfast, went directly to the third aunt, and then went to her grandmother's house to greet her.
When Mrs. Fan saw her, her mood suddenly became sour and sad, thinking that if her granddaughter knew about Hua Ge'er...... She didn't dare to imagine the result, reached out and pulled her into her arms, patted her back gently, and said with slightly red eyes: "Go, go, grandmother knows that you want to find Brother Hua as soon as possible, so I won't waste the time you go out." β
Yao Shi answered, pulling Tang Shaohe to go out.
Just as the Huang family walked towards them, took Shaohe's hand and said, "Lotus girl, wait a while, the eldest aunt will go with you." β
Tang Shaohe didn't expect his aunt to say this, and he felt a little guilty about her in his heart, so he smiled and let his aunt pull her out of the house together. (To be continued......)
