Chapter 43: Asking for help
By the time Hui Yu got the news, Crimson had already been arrested by the Chang family. The reason is that with Yubian, Fei Baili should cooperate with the outside to steal Duan's ornaments.
Crimson approached the courtyard where the people under Huanzhuyuan were imprisoned, knocked the guards unconscious, and intended to rob Yubian and Feibai. was discovered by the steward who came to inspect the long house and was arrested.
Moreover, Crimson was also found to be able to do martial arts, and Chang and others doubted Crimson's origin.
Now Crimson is locked up in solitary confinement.
When the news reached Baihuayuan, Fang's mother, Emerald Green and others were shocked, and Huiyu was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.
It's good to say that you shouldn't act rashly, why can't you listen to it? It's been a wasted effort.
According to this situation, the reason why Changfang has not disposed of Yubian for a long time, Fei Bai and the others are probably to lure the snake out of the hole and lure out all the people in the four rooms who suspect the death of Chu He and Duan, so that they can catch them all.
In addition, Duan's ornaments were indeed lost, and Chang's disposal of these subordinates was justified.
Originally, when the matter did not involve Baihuayuan, Hui Yu could pretend not to know and protect herself. But now that Crimson has also been arrested, it is a bit too much for Huiyu to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.
After thinking about it, Hui Yu decided to go and meet Chang, so as to ask what happened and plead for Crimson.
So Huiyu took Fang's mother and Caiyun to the Red Maple Courtyard in the long house.
After the report, Hui Yu left the Red Maple Courtyard. This is Hui Yu's first visit to Red Maple Courtyard.
I saw that there were a few maple trees planted in the courtyard that could only be hugged by two people, and the canopy covered the sky, and it looked like it had a year.
Walking under the shade of the tree, I didn't feel hot at all, and there was a stone table and chair under the tree, and two little maids were wiping it. When he saw Huiyu and the others, he hurriedly stopped and saluted.
Mother Shi walked out to greet her and said, "Why did the third girl come over?" The sun is so hot at noon, beware of heat stroke. ”
As he spoke, he lifted the curtain hanging at the door and said, "The third girl is here." ”
Hui Yu walked in.
Chang sat on the main seat, and when he saw Hui Yu, he beckoned her to sit next to her.
Hui Yu saluted and sat down next to Chang.
Chang Shi politely said a few words as usual: "Why did you come all the way here?" If there is something, just ask the maid's mother to come over. The body is just right, walking so far, beware of falling ill again..."Yunyun.
Huiyu naturally thanked Chang for his kindness, and then said directly: "The eldest aunt has a lot of opportunities, and Hui'er is really embarrassed to come and disturb her." It was only in the morning that I heard that my unobtrusive maid Crimson had been arrested, and when I asked, I found out that it was actually with Yubian and Feibai to seek my mother's property. Hui'er was really shocked, thinking that Crimson was still safe on weekdays, and she wasn't the one who coveted money, I wonder if there was a misunderstanding in this? I came over to ask my aunt for details. ”
Chang's face showed regret and said: "Don't say it's crimson, it's Yubian, Feibai, when you were serving by your mother's side, what good things haven't you seen?" Your mother was a generous man who always rewarded good things. Originally, I saw that the two maids were also very stable and proper, but I didn't expect that they had done the thing of guarding and stealing themselves, which really failed your mother's dependence on them. In the past few days, although I have been locked up with them, I just want to treat them equally and lock up the other servants in Huanzhuyuan, there is no reason for her two to be an exception. I'm really sad about this result......"
As he spoke, he asked Shi's mother to take out the confession signed by Yubian and Fei Bai and show it to Hui Yu.
Hui Yu took a closer look, and it was written how Yubian and Fei Bai took advantage of the chaos in Huanzhu Garden, and the two of them covered the sky with one hand to steal Duan's ornaments. The handprints of the two are stamped underneath.
This confession coupled with the background of the Marquis Mansion in Subei, Yubian and Feibai will definitely die as long as they are sent to the official mansion.
This may be the reason why Crimson desperately rescued her.
Crimson is also a righteous person, the mud bodhisattva crossed the river and thought about saving his companions, but unfortunately he couldn't save people but put himself in. Hui Yu sighed to herself.
I don't know if Chang's suspicion is on himself, after all, Crimson is also a big girl who has to be used by his side. At this time, if you cut off the relationship with Crimson and ignore it and hand it over to Chang's to deal with, you will naturally gain Chang's trust. But it will chill the hearts of the people under the Hundred Flowers Courtyard.
If you want to live a good life in the future, it's not enough to be safe, you have to have one or two people who have to be used.
Although Crimson's actions were reckless, it showed that she was loyal and affectionate, and if such a person could continue to stay by her side, she would naturally be trustworthy.
Hui Yu then decided to try her best to save Crimson, it is best to succeed, and if she doesn't succeed, she is worthy of her conscience. Then he said: "This jade edge, Fei Bai confessed, such an evil servant aunt should be reported to the official and severely punished." It's just that Crimson has been by the slave's side, and the slave really doesn't want to believe that Crimson would do such a thing, I wonder if Crimson has anything to say? But is there a confession from her? ”
Chang said: "I can't believe that Crimson would do such a thing, although she hasn't pleaded guilty yet, but everyone has stolen money, it's really hard to escape the blame......"
Hui Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't there some misunderstanding in it?" Is there something unspeakable about crimson? It's better to be like this, after all, Hui'er has a fight with his master and servant, why don't you let Hui'er see her and ask her what the situation is. It's better to end this matter early. ”
Chang's face changed, and he said, "You are a girl who has not left the cabinet, don't touch such things." If you don't get it out, it's bad for your reputation. What's more, that crimson is still a kung fu person, and now idlers can't get close to her. If you accidentally hurt you again, it won't be good. If you still believe me, the eldest aunt, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely give Crimson justice. ”
Chang Shi has said this, and Hui Yu can't say anything more. Moreover, if the table is too eager and too hard, it is difficult to guarantee that Chang will not have any ideas.
Hui Yu gave up, and only said one thing again and again, but it was up to Chang's to decide.
After leaving the Red Maple Courtyard, Huiyu was still very uneasy. I don't know if this time to see Chang will be unfavorable to Crimson, in case Chang is worried that he will mention Crimson again, and he will poison Crimson or forge a confession and send her to the official for execution, wouldn't it be in vain to waste his thoughts?
No, you have to do your best to save people. But how can we get out of it? Hui Yu suddenly remembered Duan Hong.
If Duan Hong intervened, Chang would not be able to shirk it.
But this first has to meet Duan Hong to convince him to rescue Crimson.
And I've already seen Duan Hong this morning. It seems that there is no silver three hundred taels in this place to meet again.
What's more, now that he is still following a guardian spirit, he can't go to see Duan Hong.
Hui Yu thought to herself, glanced at Mother Shi, who had been following her out in the name of sending off guests, and thought about how to meet Duan Hong.
Suddenly, Hui Yu remembered that when she came just now, Caiyun had mentioned to herself that not far from the road from the long house to the fourth room was the small courtyard where Duan Hong and Duan Zewu lived.
At that time, in order to facilitate Duan Hong and Duan Zewu to enter and exit and see Huiyu in the fourth room, they deliberately found such a courtyard close to the door.
Hui Yu then thought about it.
When she got to the place near the door, Hui Yu pretended to faint, held Fang's mother with one hand, and said weakly: "Mom, I'm out of breath, it's so uncomfortable." As he spoke, half of his body was leaning on Mother Fang.
Mother Fang was shocked, hurriedly hugged Huiyu, and said, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Why did you suddenly feel uncomfortable? ”
Huiyu said: "I don't know, it's just that it's so uncomfortable all of a sudden."
… Mom, I can't hold it anymore. ”
Mother Shi and Caiyun also panicked.
Caiyun said: "Hurry up and find a place for the girl to lie down, the slave looks like she is suffering from heat stroke." ”
Mother Shi said hesitantly: "There is no place to rest around here, the nearest one is the small square courtyard where the fourth uncle lives......
Mother Fang saw that Huiyu was about to faint, and hurriedly said, "Then hurry up and lead the way, you can't let the girl lie on this road." ”
Mother Shi didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly took Huiyu to the small square courtyard.
In the small square courtyard, people turned their backs for a while. Some hurriedly went to boil water, some went to get a clean cloth to wipe Huiyu's hands and face, and some went to bring ice cubes to the house to cool down. Shi's mother even grabbed a maid and told her to go to Hongfeng Courtyard to report.
Duan Hong and Duan Zewu had already come over.
Duan Hong said distressedly: "What made you rush to the long room at noon?" The sun at noon is the sunniest, and ordinary maids and servants can't stand it, let alone a boudoir lady like you. ”
Huiyu was moved by Duan Hong's anxiety, but still pretended to be weak and said: "Fourth uncle, it was a maid named Crimson in Hui'er's room who had an accident, and Hui'er Fang hurried over to find the eldest aunt. ”
and roughly talked about the crimson thing with Duan Hong.
Duan Hong frowned after hearing this, knowing that Huiyu wanted to protect his maid's thoughtfulness, but Chang's people had all the stolen goods, and he couldn't see Crimson for a while, so he couldn't confront him, let alone rescue her. However, Chang's family, as Hui Yu's elder, does not need Hui Yu's consent to dispose of a maid, and maybe the maid will be gone in a moment.
Duan Hong could also understand Hui Yu's anxiety. But as a guest living master, it is not appropriate to intervene in this kind of other people's housework, and I have to find a justifiable reason.
Duan Hong was spinning his mind and comforting Hui Yu at the same time.
Duan Zewu found a gap and left first.
