Yingshuang responded, went up and slapped Xianglan twice, Zhao Yuechan stood eyebrows and said, "Stupid!" Who told you to use your hands? Beat that bamboo board! ”

Yingshuang took the bamboo board, "snapped" twice, Xianglan's cheeks swollen, and then whipped, and blood was seen on the nose and lips. Xianglan only felt that her face was hot and painful, blood and tears were flying, she was so uncomfortable that she almost fainted, full of grievances and wrongs, and secretly hated in her heart: "Zhao Yuechan is going to kill me for a trumped-up crime, and if she confesses her guilt, she will say that I have a bad heart, and I will be dragged out and beaten to death; If I don't admit my guilt, I will say that I have an iron mouth and steel teeth, and I will be beaten severely, so I simply grit my teeth and refuse to admit it. ”

After more than a dozen strokes in a row, Zhao Yuechan said, "Stop." ”

Yingshuang put away the board, Xianglan's whole face was swollen and unformed, she was already hurting, tears flowed, she couldn't speak, she kowtowed several times, and said with difficulty: "Grandma Mingjian, I really don't know." Even if you lend me a hundred guts, you don't dare to take the master's things. ”

Zhao Yuechan said coldly: "Let me ask you, what did Aunt Lan say to the thrush before she died, did you hear it?" ”

Xianglan's heart sank, raised her tearful eyes and looked at Zhao Yuechan, thinking: "Zhao Yuechan cares so much, it seems that Aunt Lan's death has a big deal." It's just that I started to lie to Yindie, saying that I heard that Aunt Lan wanted to see Uncle, but I don't know what Yindie chewed behind her back, and I can't change my mouth at the moment. I had to endure the pain and said vaguely: "I don't hear it very seriously, Aunt Lan only said that she missed her father and uncle, and she didn't see her last face when she was dying." ”

Zhao Yuechan said sharply: "You dare to fool me!" The board still hasn't played enough! ”

Xianglan kowtowed and cried: "Ask the big * milk to spare me, the big * milk will beat me to death, and I don't know." I don't know which one instigated in front of my grandmother, I want to confront her! As he spoke, he looked up to see the silver butterfly.

Yindie had already been bluffed when she saw Zhao Yuechan's methods, and when she saw Xianglan looking at her, she waved her hand back again and again: "You, what do you see me doing...... Before Aunt Lan took her last breath, you were next to the thrush...... Aunt Lan said to the thrush for a long time, you, you must have heard it! ”

Xianglan is a clever person, so she guessed the matter eight or nine points at the moment, and said secretly: "I think Aunt Lan is holding Zhao Yuechan's shortcomings in her hands, and eighty percent has something to do with the indigo booklet...... Yingshuang and Chunling collided in the garden, both of them fell, and they took the wrong book in a hurry, there should be something terrible in the book that Zhao Yuechan lost, Aunt Lan grabbed Zhao Yuechan's shortcomings, but was forced to die, and now Zhao Yuechan is looking for the book, and by the way, I will be eliminated. With his mind turning in his heart, he pointed at Yindie and said, "You are talking nonsense! Obviously, you are standing next to Aunt Lan, you are closer than me, I am far away, and the shadow is not clear enough, you should hear more clearly than me! Because of the wound on his face, he said it was particularly difficult, and tears fell from his eyes.

Yindie was so frightened that her hairs stood on end, and she knelt down with a "poof", kowtowed again and again, and said, "This little hoof is talking nonsense!" Grandma, I stood far away, and the mothers-in-law and mother-in-law in the house testified to me...... I ......" Seeing Zhao Yuechan's slightly gloomy face, she was silenced.

Zhao Yuechan watched the two of her accuse each other, only sneered slightly, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes were only cold and mocking, and said lightly: "Let's go on, the dead slave of dog eats dog, everyone wants to fool me, they are all guts, don't say that you are ugly today, you two, don't think about it." Annoyed me, don't blame me for being ruthless and selling you all into the kiln! ”

Silver Butterfly was stupefied and shrunk to the ground.

Xianglan sobbed and choked: "The slave is really wronged...... Aunt Lan said something before she took a breath, but the slave really didn't hear it...... I don't dare to steal my master's things...... If I tell a lie, my grandmother will beat me to death......" she began to cry out loud, hoping that the crying would lead people to her rescue.

Zhao Yuechan pointed and scolded: "What a funeral! Shut her up for me! The little fox who seduced the gentlemen deserved to be killed. You think that Uncle has a lot of benefits, so you want to reach out and steal oil to eat, don't you? Bah! Break your dog's legs! Yingshuang took a ball of cloth to gag Xianglan's mouth, and Zhao Yuechan said loudly: "You go and lock her up in the backyard room and watch carefully, I have my own decision." ”

At that moment, Yingshuang called two stout mothers-in-law to come in, dragged Xianglan away. Zhao Yuechan was a little tired after making trouble for a long time, and she was worried that the booklet still hadn't been found, so she waved her hand to Yindie and said, "Get out, let me rest." ”

Yindie kowtowed before she got up to leave, and Zhao Yuechan shouted again: "Come back!" ”

Yindie hurriedly turned around and lowered her hands to listen, Zhao Yuechan glared at her and said, "If this matter leaks a word, it will all be on you." You can remember, Aunt Lan's house, you should look through it for me inside and out, I can't find the booklet, beware of your skin! ”

Silver Butterfly was so frightened that she hurriedly agreed.

Not long after, Yingshuang came back and saw Zhao Yuechan sitting on the kang with her forehead, so she walked over lightly, poured a cup of tea and put it on the kang table, and said softly: "Grandma said all these things, and she also beat her with a dead hand, that Xianglan still didn't spit out, it seems that she really doesn't know what Aunt Lan said before she died......

Zhao Yuechan frowned slightly and said, "What if you really don't know?" This girl can't stay anyway. ”

Yingshuang said: "Grandma really plans to sell her...... The words "selling ......" and "kiln" turned around a few times in his mouth, but he couldn't say it.

Zhao Yuechan sneered and said, "Kiln? I think about it, now that old pious woman is in charge, my every move is watched, how can I be so handy. After a few days, when things were heavy, I took advantage of the funeral for the little slut, quietly called someone to come and sell the girl to the kiln, sold it farther, and sent me away. ”

Yingshuang didn't dare to speak, just smiled. Zhao Yuechan said: "Qinglan and that evil seed died just right, both died without proof and except for a big trouble, but it saved me things, but if I can't find that booklet for a day, I can't rest assured for a day." She leaned on the kang and was quietly distracted for a while, and suddenly said, "You go and get a pen and paper, write a letter to my cousin, and say that he will wait for me in the small hall at the west gate of the mansion tonight and tomorrow night." ”

Yingshuang wanted to persuade and moved her lips, but she didn't dare to squeak.

Zhao Yuechan was quiet for a while, and then said, "Is there any movement in the little hooves of the thrush?" ”

Yingshuang hurriedly said: "Bai Lu is staring at it all the time, and even a fly can't fly out." ”

Zhao Yuechan nodded and said, "After a while, I will say that I lost my jewelry in my room, and I want to search it from room to room, and you take someone to her house to rummage around." ”

Yingshuang hurriedly said: "Grandma, just rest assured, the corners are kept and clean." ”

It is not up to the master and servant to discuss what they will do. said that the thrush, who helped to take care of the aftermath in the east chamber, quietly smoothed out the booklet under the bed board. When I went back to the house and opened it, I was startled, plugged in the door, flipped through the pages one by one, and couldn't help sneering again and again: "It's strange that Qinglan put her life in it, it turned out to be for this thing." She's wishful thinking, and such a good thing has cheapened me. ”

Sitting in the room, he thought about it, changed his clothes again, poured another layer of powder on the mirror, made his face more and more haggard and pale, hid the booklet close to him, called the magpie in and gave instructions, and the two went to Qin's room.

Rose was standing in the doorway hanging a charm to ward off illness, and when she saw the thrush enter, she stopped her and said, "What is the girl doing here?" My wife is not feeling well, and she just fell asleep after taking medicine. ”

The thrush looked like she was about to cry: "I know that Aunt Lan has just gone, and my wife is picky, and it is inevitable that she will not be good, but ...... But I'm ...... here."

Rose asked, "What's wrong with the girl?" ”

Thrush pulled a handkerchief from the placket and wiped the corners of his eyes: "Just now I followed the letter at home, saying that my father fell and saw that the situation was getting worse, and asked me to go home and take a look......" As he spoke, tears rolled down, and he couldn't help but cry.

The magpie patted the thrush on the back and reassured: "Girl, don't cry, don't cry and break your body." He looked up and said to Rose: "The girl wants to go home to see, but Aunt Lan is just gone, the room is in chaos, and the big * milk is also weak, and there is no one in the room, so the girl comes to ask Mrs. for a leave." ”

Rose said, "This is a big deal, you wait. As he spoke, he turned around and went into the house to find the red note, and as soon as he told him about the matter, the red note frowned and thought about it, and said, "Mrs. has just fallen asleep, so this little thing will not disturb her." If the thrush's father is strict and does not let him go home, he will ignore the family affection, so he will let her go back, and according to the custom, he will give twenty taels of silver from the account, and let her take it back to visit the sick and buy medicine. I'll talk to my wife about this later. ”

When Rose got the letter, she went out to return to the thrush.

The thrush master and servant were naturally grateful, and the thrush said with tears: "My good wife, like a true Bodhisattva, gave back the silver, and the world is not so merciful." After speaking, he knelt directly on the steps and kowtowed to the Qin family three times in the room.

Rose Heart said: "It's strange that the thrush girl in the uncle's room is the best at talking and doing things, and now it's really good at seeing it, and she is a well-behaved person." Hurriedly helped the thrush up and said, "It's cold on the ground, get up quickly." ”

Thrush shook Rose's hand and said: "Good sister, Aunt Fang Cai Lan died miserably, I had a fight with her sisters, and the unspeakable fate was really more uncomfortable than digging my heart, and I heard that my father had an accident, my legs and feet were so weak that I trembled, and I cheekily begged my sister to help me walk." ”

Rose is the second-class maid in Qin's room, she is a benevolent and soft-hearted person, seeing that the thrush said this, she and the magpie helped her left and right, and walked to the second door to see her master and servant get into the carriage before turning around.

As soon as the thrush got into the carriage, the sorrow and weakness on his face were completely gone, and he lifted the curtain and said to the coachman: "Go quickly, and double the reward." ”

The magpie wiped the sweat on the thrush with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Big * milk, they won't chase after them?" ”

The thrush leaned on the carriage, took out the booklet and stroked it gently, and said lightly: "Not so soon, just take advantage of her surprise, let's hurry up and take advantage of the chaos, hide at home for two days, and wait for the uncle to come back and then go home." ”

The magpie let out an "um" and took a fan to fan the thrush.

The thrush closed her eyes slightly. RS
