Chapter 39 Clouds of Suspicion

(Thank you, I hereby add a more chapter ~O(∩_∩)O~ to show my gratitude!) )

"Auntie, sit down and drink tea!" Shi Qingqing poured a cup of freshly soaked Longjing for the aunt who shouted grievances, turned his head to the other party and said, "You go and get busy first, this aunt is handed over to me." ”

The nurse wanted to say something, but seeing that Shi Qingqing had already turned his head, he had to bow down and retreat.

Shi Qingqing looked at the middle-aged peasant woman wearing a white scarf and a white-haired person sending a black-haired person in front of her, and sympathy was spontaneous, as if she saw her mother's appearance when she heard the news of her death from this aunt......

The corners of the eyes have sunk deeply, and each ravine represents the traces of the painful crying in the middle of the night.

His eyes were bloodshot, and a pair of cloth shoes were covered with dust, and he was holding his left foot and right foot at this time, showing the owner's nervousness.

"I don't want to drink this thing, I'm clumsy and dirty, don't spoil your beautiful cup......" The aunt returned the tea served by Shi Qingqing, moved her body, and said, "This girl, what are you looking for me?" "When the aunt speaks, she always looks out of the door with an eager expression.

When Shi Qingqing saw it, he stroked his aunt's calloused hands with both hands, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Auntie, don't worry, I just heard you say that your daughter's name is Begonia?" ”

Shi Qingqing saw that the aunt nodded, so he asked again, "But the maid begonia in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

When the aunt was asked this question, she held Shi Qingqing's hand tightly with her backhand like grasping straw, and her face was earnest, "What, do you know my daughter?" ”

"There was a death in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone in Dijing knew about it." Shi Qingqing felt ashamed in his heart, and he didn't tell the truth in the end.

"My daughter really died unjustly, she is still so young, and the sixth lady promised her a family affair... Begonia, why are you so blessed! ”

The aunt looked up to the sky and wept, and for a moment of sorrow came from it, and she fell to the ground from the chair.

Shi Qingqing was startled, and hurriedly got up to help, "Auntie, you get up first......" Shi Qingqing helped a few times, but the aunt was desperate and fell to the ground.

Shi Qingqing had no choice but to comfort softly, "Auntie, where is the family you just said?" ”

The aunt sobbed a few more times, and saw that Shi Qingqing's appearance was simple and plain, although he was wearing brocade clothes and blue wisps, he did not dislike the plain clothes on his body at all.

When the heart is close, there is a heart to speak.

"My begonia was not called Begonia, where would we take such a nice name, just call the second girl, the second girl has been filial to me and her father since she was a child, but unfortunately, such a good girl was born in my family, there is no food and no clothing, and her father is seriously ill... She also came here to be a maid for others without telling me..."The aunt seems to be reminiscing about the days when the family supported each other although it was bitter in the past, although she couldn't eat enough, but at least the family was together......

However, how happy she was before is how painful she is now, the aunt speaks intermittently, often without a preface, and Shi Qingqing is not in a hurry, so she simply sat on the ground with her and listened to her speak slowly.

"Originally, my father and I were very worried that the second girl would suffer after coming to the city, and I also heard that some rich and noble families like to torture the little girl, and my father and I were afraid, and the second girl cried alone without crying...... But what I didn't expect was that a month later, the second girl came home wearing a good dress and some delicious food that I had never eaten, and gave her a lot of silver when she left, and her father was saved......"

The aunt cried very sadly, and her body trembled slightly, Shi Qingqing handed her her embroidered handkerchief, and the aunt thanked herself, and only calmed down after a while, as if there was nowhere to tell on weekdays, or no one listened to what she said, and the aunt poured out the words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.

After another year, her father's illness became more and more serious, and the money brought back by the second girl was not enough at all, so I had to go to Xiucai in the village and write a letter to the second girl...... I really have no choice, her father's medical expenses at home, as well as her younger siblings to support, I wash clothes and do needlework for others on weekdays, plus the silver sent back by the second girl, it is still not enough...... I just thought... I just thought... Can you let the second girl find that lady to borrow some silver first..."

"About a month later, the second girl actually asked someone to bring back a piece of gold, I and her father were frightened, I thought, even if the wife of the family cares about the next person, will not give a piece of gold, so I rushed here from home overnight, I asked her where the money came from, the second girl said that she was serving the sixth lady told her a family matter, this is a gift money, that person is a distant relative of the sixth lady's family, doing the account of the family, after hearing about the family, he paid his own money to save the emergency... Alas, I thought that the second girl would finally meet a good person and enjoy happiness, but I didn't expect... It's really a trick! ”

Shi Qingqing's eyelids jumped when she heard the words of Mr. Bookkeeper, and she picked up the purple sand cup on the table and put it to her mouth to hide the surprise in her heart.

"Auntie, that's... Since Mr. Bookkeeper is so good to the second girl, isn't it a good thing, how did it end up today? Shi Qingqing pretended to be puzzled and asked.

The eldest aunt sighed, smiled at Shi Qingqing, and her face was full of despair, "Yes, I thought so at the time, I asked the second girl that day, is that person good to you?" The second girl just turned her back and asked me to leave quickly, my daughter's daughter I knew, it must be that person who treated her badly, she would be like this, I was also angry at that time, and I stepped forward and slapped the second girl... It hurts in my mother's heart....I said, no matter what, I can't do anything that violates the principles of heaven, the second girl suddenly cried, she said, the sixth lady just wants to use her to tie up Mr. Bookkeeper, so that the person can do things for her, and give a lot of monthly silver when distributing it...... The second girl of my family must have been forced to death by their joint efforts, it must be..."The aunt said with a hideous face, and she couldn't wait to bring the murderer to justice immediately, but she suddenly thought that she had no power and power, and it was difficult to even have a full stomach, let alone anything else?

His expression suddenly withered, "I know, I shouldn't say this, but I really don't have the place to say it, the sixth lady is the sixth lady of Xiangye, a high-ranking and powerful person, where can we talk about her... My second girl... You died unjustly! ”

Shi Qingqing was shocked in his heart after hearing this, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, he couldn't imagine that the sixth lady would acquiesce in such a thing......

Shi Qingqing saw that the aunt was a little tired from crying, but she just looked at a certain place, and estimated that it was almost over, so she also poured a cup for the aunt, "Auntie, let's drink some tea first?" ”

"Huh~ Thank you, girl." Seeing this, the aunt hurriedly responded and took it with both hands.

Shi Qingqing's heart turned a hundred times, smashed it, smashed it, and asked carefully: "Auntie, in that case, why don't you go to the master's mansion to find their family master to be the master?" ”

The aunt is pure, and her joy and anger are all on her face, and when she heard Shi Qingqing ask, she suddenly stopped getting angry and put the purple sand cup in her hand heavily.

Said angrily: "I went, but every time they shut me out, kicked me out, and didn't even say a word to me, my second girl has been working in their house for so long, but they actually ...... to the second girl"

The aunt said and brought out sad things.

He pounded his chest with his hands, thinking that this would make him feel better......

When Shi Qingqing saw this, he was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Auntie, listen to me, now Lord Zai Father is dealing with this matter, and is avenging your daughter and second girl, when the time comes, you will tell me again when Lord Zai Father ascends to the court, okay?" ”

Shi Qingqing was extremely sincere in what he said word by word.

When the aunt heard this, she was really happy in her heart, "What you said is true?" Can you really get justice for my second girl? ”

Shi Qingqing nodded heavily.

When the aunt got Shi Qingqing's promise, she cried with joy, and hurriedly kowtowed a few times, "Thank you, girl, thank you, girl, I will never forget jì in my life, and I am willing to repay the girl by being a cow and a horse." ”

"Auntie, get up quickly, the so-called road is uneven, draw a knife to help, this is what I should do." Shi Qingqing was taken aback by the aunt's battle, and looked at the aunt's sincere and simple face became more and more sad, and hurriedly got up to avoid helping.

"By the way, Auntie, where have you been living lately? It is estimated that the case will be heard in the near future, where will I look for you then? Shi Qingqing patted off the dust on her body for her aunt and asked softly.

Half of the big stone in the aunt's heart fell, and she liked Shi Qingqing's appearance more and more, so she said: "I still have to go home, and her father and a few boys at home have no one to take care of them." ”

When Shi Qingqing heard this, his heart was even more sour, so he had to explain a few more words and ask for the specific address before sending his aunt out.

"Girl, this is the jujube grown by my family, originally I wanted to leave it for the second girl to eat when she came home for the New Year..."The aunt said here, wiping her tears with her sleeve, "Let the girl see the joke, this jujube will be given to the girl, it is not good for the body." ”

Shi Qingqing wanted to refuse, but saw that the aunt pretended to be hearty and hid it very carefully, so she said: "Thank you aunt, I like to eat dates the most." After speaking, I was afraid that my aunt would not believe it, so I got close and smelled it, "It's so fragrant!" ”

The aunt handed the bag to Shi Qingqing, rubbed her empty hands, and said, "That... Then I'll go back first? ”

Shi Qingqing stepped forward and hugged her aunt, and said softly: "Auntie be careful on the road, if you have something, you can come to me." ”

After speaking, he also draped his big coat on the thin body of the aunt, "Auntie, you must take care of your body, otherwise, who will take care of your second girl and her father?" Shi Qingqing saw that her aunt was about to refuse again, so she had to say some heavy words to persuade her.

When the aunt heard this, her face was sad, and she murmured: "Yes, yes, what the girl said is, I left first, I have been out for a long time, and there is still a long way to go back, and I won't be able to go home before dark." ”

Shi Qingqing nodded lightly, and watched the aunt go away, but his eyes looked straight at the pair of cloth shoes stained with mud, and as the aunt accelerated her pace, she could also see the separation between the sole and the upper......

………

Northern Xia Kingdom, east and west outside the city.

In a gazebo on the outskirts of the mountains.

A middle-aged man dressed in dark black said lightly to the middle-aged woman dressed in plain clothes who came from a distance: "Auntie, do you know who you are asking for today?" ”
