Jinzhu looked at Jinlan and knew that she intended to hide it, so it was inconvenient to ask any more, just looked at Jinyi and asked, "You are the girl your aunt bought newly, right?" ”

"Yes." Jin Yi nodded.

Jinzhu smiled at her and said, "Since it's okay, let's go too." After speaking, he walked away quickly with the little girl.

Back in Qinfangyuan, Jin Lan said: "Those of us who are subordinates just want to be able to live our lives safely, which is the greatest blessing, so more things are better than less things, and idleness is not reasonable." ”

Jinyi knew what she was talking about, but she didn't explain how she knew what to take care of and what not to do. If those people really want to do something to people, don't they bother with it? But after all, I just came, and I can't say these thoughts in my heart directly, not to mention that I don't like to compete with people in the first place.

Here, Shan Lianfang's matter had already alarmed Mrs. Du, and Mrs. Du, surrounded by several maids such as Jinse and Jinqin, hurriedly came to see her, and asked the doctor to decoct the medicine for most of the day.

Mrs. Du sat on the edge of her niece's bed, squeezed her hand and asked, "My good Fang'er, what's going on?" How did you suddenly fall into the water? But my aunt was frightened, but fortunately you are fine, it is really a bodhisattva blessing! ”

Shan Lianfang's eyes were red from crying, and she snorted and said, "Auntie, someone is trying to harm Fang'er...... Auntie, you must make decisions for Fang'er......"

Mrs. Du turned around and asked Shan Lianfang's maid, "Who went out with your young lady just now?" ”

"It's a slave." The personal maid Hui'er stepped forward and said.

"How do you serve your master?!" Mrs. Du said sharply, "Let your master almost lose his life!" If it weren't for the fact that you weren't our girl from Du Mansion, I would have had you beaten to death with a stick! ”

"Damn it! The slave didn't take good care of the young lady, the slave damned it......" Hui'er said tremblingly.

"Who sent your young lady back?" Mrs. Du asked again.

"It's the second young master of the house." Hui'er said, "When Miss fell into the water, he also rushed to save people." ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Du said with a gloomy face, "Your young lady has always said that someone wants to harm her, what the hell is going on, you carefully explain the situation at that time." ”

Hui'er recounted the situation of her young lady enjoying the flowers by the lotus pond, and then suddenly stood unsteady and fell into the water, but omitted Shan Lianfang to let the maid of Dufu go to get food, and reprimanded him sternly, and said: "At that time, I was standing next to me, and I saw that something like a projectile hit the young lady's leg, and the young lady was standing by the pool, and it was too late for the slave to hold it." ”

Mrs. Du frowned and said, "Have you taken a closer look?" Something that didn't fall out of nowhere? But something like a projectile? ”

The slave was not sure, "The thing flew too fast at that time, and the slave maid only felt that her eyes were flowering, and the young lady fell into the water." ”

At this time, the Du father and son, who came back from outside, already knew about the matter, so they came over to ask, "Is Fang'er okay?" ”

"Auntie, cousin......" Shan Lianfang's eyes turned red when she saw Du Yunke.

Seeing her pitiful look, Du Yunke stood aside and comforted: "You take care of it, it's okay." ”

Shan Lianfang's eyes were filled with tears, and he nodded obediently.

When the Du couple returned to Rongshu Courtyard, the entire Du Mansion already knew about Miss Biao's overboard. Jinzhu leaned into Mrs. Du's ear and whispered a few words, and Mrs. Du's eyes narrowed: "Hmph, I knew that things were not that simple." In the past, I could still tolerate small mistakes and turn a blind eye. But this time it almost took my Fang'er's life, and I must not give up! If you send people to the wards and houses, you say I'll let them all go up to the hall and wait! Jinzhu obeyed the order.

"Madam," Master Du asked, "since Lian Fang is no longer in the way, why do you still want to mobilize the people?" ”

"Although Fang'er is out of danger now, in retrospect, it still makes the concubine feel palpitations." Mrs. Du said, "Master, Fang'er has always said that someone wants to harm her, so this time, it seems that the concubine must not be so simple, if you can't find out about this matter, it is difficult to guarantee that the same thing will not happen again in the future." ”

Master Du was a little disapproving: "It's just that you have fallen into the water, you can't help but think too complicated." ”

Mrs. Du had already made up her mind and said: "Master, this time is not a trivial matter, it almost cost Fang'er's life, Fang'er is the pearl of my brother's family, if there is really something good, how can I explain to my brother's family?" In short, today's matter must be investigated. "Master," she turned to her husband and said solemnly, "in case this matter is really a ghost behind someone's back, the master can't indulge it." When she saw her husband groaning, she immediately said, "The concubine is just saying that in case, if something is really found, the master must punish him well and seek justice for Fang'er!" ”

Back then, Master Du also relied on his father-in-law's family, and when he heard her talk about her mother's family, he had nothing to say for a while, but when he thought that she might have complicated things because she attached too much importance to this niece, Zhengse said: "Don't worry, if someone in the house really makes a ghost, I will definitely punish him severely." Although he had some doubts in his heart about his son Du Yunhe, even so, it was another matter whether he could find out after all.

Mrs. Du was very satisfied: "With the words of the master, the concubine is relieved." ”

The old man and his wife of the Du family sat down in the main hall, and when the old man Du saw this situation, he complained to his wife a little: "You said that you should let all the people from all the courtyards come, did all the people come over?" ”

Mrs. Du was a little aggrieved: "Master, today's matter is by no means a trivial matter, but a major matter related to human life, if you really let the concubine know who is secretly making ghosts from it, the concubine is the daughter of the family, it is necessary to let the whole house know that the same thing must not happen in our Du Mansion in the future, and let the people below have a longer memory, killing two birds with one stone, why does the lord think it is inappropriate?" "When Master Du arrived at this time, he was helpless.

"Are all the people here?" Mrs. Du asked.

At this time, the hall was brightly lit, Du Yunke and Yang were sitting on both sides, and behind them were the maids and servants of each master, and even the kitchen, the little maids on the second door of the main door and the various managers came, and they were densely packed together.

"Back to the old lady, except for the subordinates around Miss Biao and a few little girls guarding the courtyards in each room, they are all here." The housekeeper in the main house said.

"Back to the old lady, the little guys everywhere have also arrived." Dufu housekeeper said.

The old man of the Du family glanced at it and found that there was one missing, that is, his second son Du Yunhe, so he asked, "Why didn't the second young master come?" ”

"Back to the master," said a servant woman, "when the slave went over to invite the second young master, the people in his house said that the second young master had a leg attack and had already laid down. ”

"It's just him." Master Du muttered.

"Master," Mrs. Du said, "why don't we ask which ones are on duty at the second gate today, maybe someone left their posts without permission or the guards were not effective, so maybe there were outsiders who mixed into the house." ”

Master Du nodded and asked, and eight or nine people stood up in the small house: "Back to the master, there are a few of us." ”

"There was an accident in the house today, I must have heard about it." Master Du said, "Miss Biao accidentally fell into the water and almost died!" You have recruited from the truth, have you neglected your duties, let suspicious people in, and caused such a big thing! If there is really someone who leaves his post without permission, I can deal with it as appropriate, if I shirk it now, and I find out when the time comes, I can't spare it! ”

Several people have said that they have always been cautious and have never been negligent and slack, so there is no possibility of letting outsiders in.

The subordinates said so solemnly, and the Du couple had a look of embarrassment on their faces. Some of the subordinates began to talk to each other, whispering.

Mrs. Du suddenly turned her head and asked Yang, "Is the girl you bought in the house here?" ”

When Jinlan heard his wife ask about Jinyi, she chuckled in her heart and looked at Jinzhu, but saw that Jinzhu's face was not shocked.
