Lu Zhu led Cao's mother and Ye's mother into the inner room.

In the Yuyuan, this kind of scene is rare. Especially for Cao's mother.

As soon as the three of them came in, Lu Qingrong only asked Cao's mother: "Among the maids I married, there is one named Qiulan, but Cao's mother knows about it early on?" ”

"Yes." Cao's mother replied respectfully.

"Then why haven't you mentioned anything to avoid all along?"

Lu Qingrong was not until he entered the palace for a banquet and heard the Empress Dowager Wu call Mrs. Wu's boudoir name, until Mrs. Wu's name had the word "Lan" in it. But neither Jiang Xuan nor Cao's mother mentioned it to her.

Jiang Xuan could understand that his attitude towards Mrs. Wu had always been like this. Not to mention the name of the maid she brought, even if it is changed to the name of the pet, I am afraid that Jiang Xuan will not have the intention of avoiding it.

But Cao's mother is different.

After Mrs. Jiang died that year, among all the people who worked on errands in Jingchun Hall, only Mother Cao was still on an errand in the house, and she also became the housekeeper mother in the courtyard of the prince. If she is not Mrs. Wu's person, I'm afraid no one will believe her.

But since Lu Qingrong lived in Yuyuan for a year, he felt that something was getting more and more wrong.

In the first few days of her marriage, Cao's mother took a big vacation for several days, and only came back when she stopped arranging the manpower of Yuyuan. And he has never done anything to harm Jiang Xuan or himself since then.

If this qiē is all pretended, Lu Qingrong felt very reluctant, especially the avoidance of the name, which made her even more unable to figure it out, so she simply asked directly at this time.

Cao's mother was stunned when she heard this.

On the way over, she also saw Aunt Wei and her two waiting in the hall, thinking that Madame Xu was going to ask about them, but she didn't want to mention this as soon as she came up.

"It's the slave who was negligent before, and actually forgot about it!" Cao's mother was short of words for a while.

Lu Qingrong was neither happy nor angry, nor silent, just quietly looking at Mother Cao.

Cao's mother was at a loss, and she weighed it repeatedly in her heart, but she still didn't know what to do.

Looking around, at this time, in addition to Mrs. in the house, only Mrs. Luzhu and Mother Ye, who were most trusted, were left, which may indicate that Mrs. really wanted to ask her.

The events of this year flashed in her heart, and she was almost certain that Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Wu were definitely not people on the same road.

Mother Cao turned her heart sideways, slowly knelt on the ground, and decided to tell the truth.

"The slave maid is a person from Henan, when Jingxi was thirteen years old, he just gave birth to a pair of children, and the whole Henan had a great drought, and the family had no harvest, so he had to escape from the famine with the man and the child, but he didn't want the disaster to be a crowd, and one accidentally broke up with the family, leaving only the slave and the maid themselves, almost ...... At that time, it was the heavens hanging the curtain, and I happened to meet Mrs. Jiang who was returning to her hometown to visit relatives, so I escaped a difficulty, but I couldn't find my family anyway. Mrs. Jiang brought the slave and maid back to the capital, worked as an errand in Jingchun Hall, and also sent someone to help find relatives. ”

Cao's mother's voice had never trembled so much at this moment.

"After two years, I finally found them in Baoding. At that time, the three of them were about to starve to death, and the slave man's legs were also disabled in order to protect the child, and they all relied on Mrs. Jiang to bring them to the capital safe and sound. But at that time, there was an order from the imperial court that the displaced people were not allowed to enter Beijing. So Mrs. Jiang made the decision, just as they were ordinary people in the south of the city, let the slave and maid 'marry again', and also helped him find an errand, so that the family could be reunited! ”

Cao's mother raised her hand to wipe her tears, and her voice became more and more excited.

But the people in the house didn't know the inside story, and since then, some people have secretly said that Mrs. Jiang is afraid that the slave will climb the master's bed, so she has cheapened the cripple with the oil bottle...... The slave maid had the heart to clarify, but Mrs. Jiang didn't care, and told the slave and maid not to leak the news, and when the time comes, they will be driven out of the capital as a homeless person, which is really not worth it...... Presumably, everyone in the house believed in their hearts that the slave maid must have a grudge against Mrs. Jiang. This led to the fact that after Mrs. Jiang died, Mrs. Wu was relieved to leave me in Yuyuan. Of course, it was also the slave who desperately petitioned to stay. Mrs. Jiang's death is unknown, and the slave must wait until the day when the truth is revealed, so that she can be worthy of Mrs. Jiang's great kindness back then! ”

After finishing speaking, Luzhu and Mother Ye were dumbfounded when they heard it, and they couldn't help but wipe the corners of their eyes.

Lu Qingrong's heart was also like turning over the river and the sea, moved and angry, but he tried not to show his face.

"It's coming." Lu Qingrong opened his mouth slowly, "We can almost wait for that day!" ”

After speaking, Lu Qingrong stood up, helped Cao's mother with his own hands, and took the three of them to the hall together.

Aunt Wei and Aunt Chen watched them come with so many people at once, and their hearts were a little drumming.

"We have some things that we want to talk to Mrs. Shizi alone, you see...... Can I hold back left and right? Aunt Wei asked tentatively.

Lu Qingrong looked back at her, then looked at Aunt Chen, who was dressed as a maid next to her, and said slowly: "I don't think it's necessary!" ”

"It's a big deal, and I hope Mrs. Shizi will think twice!" Chen's mother also persuaded.

Lu Qingrong had a rough guess about what they wanted to say, otherwise he would not have brought the two mothers here, and forced Cao's mother to say something heart-wrenching.

At this moment, seeing the cautious attitude of the two aunts, I was even more convinced of my guess.

"Don't think twice!" Lu Qingrong said bluntly, "I can trust these people, if the two aunts are really not at ease, I don't think there is any need to say this!" ”

When Aunt Wei heard this, she was almost able to speak, but she was gently pulled off her shirt by Aunt Chen.

Following Aunt Chen's line of sight, she was staring at Mother Cao hesitantly at the moment, as if she was particularly worried about this person.

Lu Qingrong saw it in his eyes, and he was not in a hurry, and let the room be quiet for a long time before he said softly: "The two aunts are both thoughtful people, what kind of attitude Yuyuan has, you must know it in your hearts." If I can't get along with you, the stacks of ledgers will not be quietly placed here, but will be lying on the table in Qinyi Courtyard, and if so, where the two aunts are lying at the moment, I can't tell......"

This really worked, and before the words fell, Aunt Chen's legs were already trembling slightly, and Aunt Wei knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Please spare our lives!" Aunt Chen also knelt with Aunt Wei and shouted in unison.

Lu Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "I don't know why the two aunts are worried about their lives, and how can they threaten to spare your lives?" ”

At this point, the two knew that there was no way out, so according to the previous discussion, Aunt Chen opened her mouth.

"Back then, we saw things we shouldn't have seen."

When the four people on Lu Qingrong's side heard this, they all held their breath and waited for the following.

"What do you see? Tell us the truth. Lu Qingrong thought for a while, and then continued: "I'll say it first, you only have this one chance, if there is anything to hide, or even make up, I won't give you a chance to change your words!" ”

After speaking, Lu Qingrong also glanced meaningfully at Cao's mother beside him.

The meaning is obvious, I am afraid that they will see that they are young, so they will make random arrangements in order to save their lives, even if Mother Ye has a little more experience, she is also a newcomer. But Cao's mother is different, she is an old man in Jingchuntang, and it is unrealistic to try to deceive her with words.

Aunt Chen didn't dare to lie, but when Lu Qingrong warned her, she even spoke carefully.

"That night...... It was the night before Mrs. Jiang died, and the prince went back to rest first. Not long after, there was a commotion in the main house, and Aunt Wei and I were living in a small courtyard together, and seeing that the noise had not stopped, we went to the main house together to see what was going on. It turned out that Mrs. Jiang was losing her temper, and she thought that the smell of smoke in the house was too heavy, and the smoke hurt her head, so people quickly put it out. But incense, you know, even if it has been extinguished for a long time, there is still an aftertaste, which is difficult to dissipate, so Mrs. Jiang keeps losing her temper and shouting......"

"We listened from the outside, and we wondered in our hearts. Mrs. Jiang had never treated people like this in the past, and she had never even seen her snorting and drinking on weekdays, let alone making a lot of noise. At that time, the people who were waiting in the house also noticed that something was wrong, so they went to Qinyi Courtyard and invited Mrs. Wu......"

Speaking of this, Aunt Chen looked at Lu Qingrong and explained: "At that time, Master Hou was no longer in charge of things, and Mrs. Jiang had the final say on everything in the house, so when something happened to Mrs. Jiang, she could only ask Mrs. Wu to help make the decision." ”

After Mrs. Wu came over, it didn't take long for Jingchuntang to come to a doctor who was said to be a Tai Hospital, and after a pulse observation, he said conclusively that Mrs. Jiang was sick by Hou Ye, and she also prescribed a prescription with enthusiasm, saying that she would ensure that the medicine would be cured, so she said goodbye. Everyone hurriedly boiled the medicine, and after watching Mrs. Jiang take it, instead of getting rid of the medicine, she began to run to the clean room continuously, and in less than a night, people were ...... Gone! ”

When Lu Qingrong heard this, he couldn't help but be indignant in his heart.

Was Jing Yuanhou sick?

It's not just a mouthful!

Jing Yuanhou's illness is in his heart, to put it bluntly, there is a mental problem, can this kind of symptom be infected?

Lu Qingrong pressed down a little indignant feeling, and asked as calmly as possible, "Who boiled the medicine for Mrs. Jiang?" Who served it to Mrs. Jiang? ”

"We didn't know who was boiling the medicine, so we didn't pay attention at the time. It was Mrs. Jiang who was served to Mrs. Lu's mother. ”

Mother Lu has always followed Mrs. Wu's side, and in that situation at that time, she couldn't find fault with the rules when she was doing it.

"Is there a way for you to find the prescription at that time?"

"I can't find it." Aunt Chen paused for a moment before she made up her mind: "But we still have another thing left!" ”R1152
