073 Doubts
But no matter what you say, it can prove that in the Shen Mansion at this time, there are people who are in urgent need of money!
"What's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Hua took off her makeup, and when she saw her expression flickering, she couldn't help but get up and put her hand on her forehead.
Shen Yan came back to her senses, and said goodbye to her: "I'm a little tired, I'll come back tomorrow to talk to my aunt." ”
Mrs. Hua nodded and watched her go out. Seeing her back disappear outside the courtyard gate in a hurry, she couldn't help but smile and sighed: "Pei Yi didn't say that I haven't noticed it yet, she said that last night, I really feel that this girl has secretly grown into an adult." Do you see the wisdom and alertness in her eyebrows and eyes? When we were eight or nine years old, we weren't so promising. ”
The maid walked up and said with a smile: "What Mrs. said is that this is also a blessing for our aunt's wife." ”
Mrs. Hua's eyes showed some relief, and after a long time, she sighed: "This girl is out, Pei Yi finally has a helper." ”
Shen Yan went back to the room at night, wrote and painted in the study alone for a long time, and then called Rouge Qingdai, "You guys have been inquiring carefully in the past two days, and see who has an accident in each room, or urgently needs money or something?" From the master to the minions, they all inquired about me, especially those who borrowed money from others, and they must not be missed. ”
Rouge Qingdai looked at each other and said, "Why is the girl so concerned about Wu's matter?" ”
"I'm not obsessed with her death." Shen Yan sighed. But there was no way to explain it, so I had to shut up.
Fortunately, the girls were still obedient, and when they saw her half-revealing and half-exposed, they guessed that it was inconvenient to say, so they obediently went down to do things. Now they are accustomed to absolute obedience to Shen Yan's orders, because they know that the second girl will never do something boring and purposeless.
But this time, Shen Yan herself didn't have much confidence, because Wu's matter was vaguely related to the fate of Hua's in her previous life, not to mention that it had nothing to do with the cause of death, at least it was related to her lost dowry! Because the matter is too big and the responsibility is too heavy, she is very afraid of making mistakes again.
No matter what, Fahrenheit's life must be saved, and her money will not be missing!
Shen Yan was secretly checking the traces of spiders and worms in private, and Mrs. Shen did not relax here. Wu's matter has caused her trouble, for an aunt to be so excited, it may be the first time in the Shen family, if it weren't for Mrs. Hua's mother and daughter just here, in order to make them feel at ease, why would she bother?
She learned the news when Shen Xuanzhu killed Mama Lin, he hated the Chen family for Qiu Yuxiang's matter, she knew that Qiu Yuxiang was a member of the old Qiu family, and the Chen family promised to give people a name, but secretly did that kind of thing, and she didn't want to think about where to put her face as a mother-in-law! So she has also been annoyed with Chen all these years.
However, these old things don't need to be mentioned, in the end, Shen Xuan went too far this time, and she, as a mother-in-law, still has to give the Chen family a decent match. In the past few days, in addition to urging the people below to investigate Wu's case, she took time to go to the fourth room to comfort and comfort Chen, and then punished him for kneeling in the ancestral hall all night because of Shen Xuan's presumptuousness in front of Chen.
Of course, the news also spread to the Chen family, and the Chen family sent someone to ask, but the Chen family himself blocked back.
As soon as the murder case of Sifang came out, it was inconvenient for Mrs. Hua to leave with her daughter. Fortunately, they are also familiar with each other in the capital, and the Shen Mansion is not the first to come back, and the things in the fourth room have nothing to do with the second room, except that they should stay politely and wait for a result, the rest are quite comfortable. So I took the time to go back to the old house to take a look, and most of the rest of the days stayed in the Shen family.
The most affairs belong to the fourth room, and Mama Lin was dragged to the burial the next day after she was killed, which was supposed to be dragged to the mass grave, but the Chen family asked people to buy a thin wooden coffin for her, and spent 20 taels of silver to buy a piece of land on the outskirts of the city for burial. Mrs. Shen later found out and asked Su Juan to make up the money to the Chen family.
Bai Yu cried to death, but finally let Shen Xuan rush to Zhuangzi.
Chan was completely unstoppable. Shen Xuan knelt in the ancestral hall all night and came back, not only did he no longer have a good face for her, but also took Shen Kui and Shen Xin to the West Courtyard where he lived to raise her personally on the grounds that she was unworthy of being a mother because she was evil and vicious in governing the family. Although Chen was sick, her son was her lifeline, she grabbed a two-foot-high grandfather clock on the table and smashed it, Shen Xuan's forehead was open, and blood suddenly bubbled up.
Chen wanted to fight again, but Chunhui hurriedly dragged her. But she couldn't hold it back, but Shen Xin cried and rushed in to hug her, and she collapsed to the ground again, gritted her teeth and cried: "From now on, whoever dares to touch my Xin'er, I don't care who he is, I want his life!" ”
Shen Xuan couldn't make trouble with her, so she had to brush her sleeves and leave.
Mrs. Shen was also angry this time, and did not intervene.
Shen Mi was also very annoyed, and he didn't pay attention to these things for several days.
Since then, the husband and wife have lived separately in the two houses, and the relationship is still on the surface, but in fact it has become nothing.
Although the Chen family still bears the name of the fourth young grandmother, she has already become a lower cousin in the eyes of her subordinates. But she has to be strong, and her mother's side insists on saying that it's okay, so even if Mrs. Chen and the young grandmothers come to visit, she doesn't mention it.
The Chen family had no choice but to mention a few words to Shen Guanyu and his wife, and in addition, they cared more about Shen Xin. But for Shen Xuan, there is no better color.
Fortunately, although Shen Xin has no benevolence to Shen Yan's cousin, he is still extremely filial to his mother, even if Shen Xuan and the Chen family turn against each other, he still stays in the main room every day to serve his mother's decoction. This has become the only spiritual pillar of the Chen family, and in the future, he is desperately planning for Shen Xin in the mansion without mentioning it.
And then there's Shen Ying here.
Although Aunt Wu is only Shen Ying's biological mother, she can't even be a mother in the rules, and there is no rule for the lady in the house to keep a funeral for her aunt, but in the end, because Shen Xuan is outrageous, Mrs. Shen is worried that Shen Xuan will cause trouble if she is too detained, and she knows that she also loves this daughter, so she has not detained her much in the past few days, although she did not say it explicitly, but secretly allowed her to go to the fourth room to walk more these days, and let her go to Shen Xuan to do her filial piety.
After two days, there was no eyebrows, and Mrs. Shen was also very angry, why was it the Hua family who had an accident in the house, which made the Shen family lose face in front of the Hua family? The little thing on her mind became more and more serious, and when Fahrenheit came to Yao Ri Hall, as long as no one was there, she always had no good face.
Fahrenheit has now learned to explain himself, and he doesn't care about her on the face, and no matter how depressed he is when he returns to the room, he can't fall into the ears of others anyway.
On the surface, there is finally nothing to do, and now I am waiting for when I will find out the whereabouts of the real murderer.
At lunchtime, the Liu family came to pick up this season's clothing booklet, and Mrs. Shen was listening to Lin Deyong's family for a few days, and she did find out some unspeakable things in the melon field, but Aunt Wu's batch of jewelry was not seen, and she couldn't help but be even more depressed. Accompanied by Liu, he ate tea, and saw that only the maids were on all sides, so he asked, "Where is Sister Ying'er?" ”
Qiuxi said: "The fourth master took Brother Ming and Brother Kui out of the main room, and Sister Ying went over to help with it." ”
Mrs. Shen frowned: "What does she know how to do?" ”
Liu said from the side: "Isn't it the grace given by my wife to let Sister Ying'er go to the fourth child to do her filial piety." ”
Mrs. Shen thought about it again, so she looked at her: "You will be a man." ”
Liu smiled and lowered his head: "It's the daughter-in-law who trespasses." ”
While he was talking here, Linlang walked in, glanced at Liu, and then lowered his head again.
Mrs. Shen said, "If you have something, go back." ”
Liu hurriedly thanked him and walked out.
Back in the third room, Linlang quickly followed her into the house, then inserted the door, and said, "Someone just saw the rouge Qingdai from Bishui Courtyard walking around the courtyards, and I don't know what to do. ”
"Bisui-in?" Liu frowned: "Isn't that the yard of the goose girl?" ”
"Exactly." Linlang nodded, "The slave is afraid that the second master has already suspected us, so he is secretly investigating everywhere through the people of Bishui Courtyard." ”
"What does this have to do with the second room? How could he suddenly suspect us? Liu couldn't help but grasp the handkerchief.
"I don't know, I'm just guessing ......"
Speaking of this, she paused, and then walked in front of Liu: "Now that Mama Lin is dead, Mrs. has also exonerated her." I look at the appearance of the fourth master, and my wife is only afraid that she will have to investigate to the end before she can stop. Although we moved everything out, we couldn't get any evidence, and we weren't afraid of how the second master would investigate, but in this way, grandma's remaining 18,000 taels of silver couldn't be raised. ”
Hearing this, Liu sat down with his eyebrows condensed.
When I went to find Chen's that day, I was supposed to borrow money from her, but now although I got a box of jewelry from Aunt Wu, there is still a big hole that has not been filled, and now Chen's own cannot be protected, and there is no way to start from her, and the house is full of panic, and it is impossible for her to jump out and borrow money from anyone-if she jumps out, wouldn't it be tantamount to suing others that she is suspicious?
I knew that Wu only had such a little jewelry and no silver tickets, so she would not have been so ruthless at that time. Although I am not sure that Aunt Wu has 20,000 taels of silver in hand, at least 15,600 taels are still available, and after taking the silver ticket and jewelry, it will be about the same. Isn't that the right moment the same as pushing yourself into a corner? Now what should she do with the eighteen thousand taels of silver?
Seeing that she was silent, Linlang walked up, bent down and said, "According to the slave's opinion, it is better to do nothing and pull the second room in!" The third girl and the second girl have always had a disagreement, let's plant it on the second room, and the third girl will come forward to make a fuss, which will definitely divert the attention of the wife. ”
After hearing this, Liu calmed down. "I have no grudges with the second room, why should I be involved with them? Besides, the second room has nothing to do with this matter, even if there is a contradiction, it will not kill anyone, and if it is planted on their heads, they must be believed! ”
I didn't choose to borrow money from Fahrenheit at the beginning, because I was not familiar with it, the second room had been away for many years, and Fahrenheit had never come forward to help when she was excluded from Mrs. Shen, and suddenly asked someone to borrow money, how much money could Fahrenheit lend her? Besides, if she goes to borrow money, Hua will tell Shen Mi about it, if Shen Mi talks to Shen Eun again, won't it be a goof? R1152
