The nurse walked quickly to the door and looked out, once again confirmed that there was no one outside, opened the window and looked out a few times, before coming back and saying to Chuncao: "Don't talk nonsense, how old is Brother Ze'er?" But at the age of five, what can he know? Brother Xinghong has been bad for a long time, and Brother Ze just happened to see it when he entered the house, so he was scared? ”

Chuncao whispered, "If that's the case, why didn't he tell the people to go?" Even Brother Hong's nurse ...... I saw that she had entered the house after Brother Ze had left, and when the old lady and I left the courtyard, I also saw her running with a pale face to whisper to her sister beside Grandma Jue...... The news that Brother Hong'er is gone has just come out, and I came back from there with the old lady, and it has been almost an hour! ”

The nurse was also frightened, and the two looked at each other, both terrified of the truth that might be contained here.

Zhao Yingjun listened to it completely, and naturally thought about it. Although I don't know what the relationship between the "brother" and the "brother" they are talking about is with her body, in short, they are all children of the Zhao family. A five-year-old child went into another child's room, and drove everyone else out, leaving only the two of them alone in the house, and soon after, he ran out in fright, and did not tell anyone why, and the nurse went into the house immediately, also with a pale face, and quietly talked to the hostess's eldest girl, and not long after, the child was found dead, and until the imperial doctor went to diagnose and treat him, no one "knew" about it—Haruka suspected that the five-year-old had something to do with it, It's still quite logical.

The crux of the question is, when did the little one die? What is the cause of death? His biological mother didn't seem to be by his side all the time, but pestered the main room to ask for a doctor to come for treatment, so it can be seen that he should be sick, but not too sick, so how could he suddenly die?

If the five-year-old boy Zegoer died after he left, why did Zegoer and the nurse look like they were frightened?

If Ze Ge'er died before he entered the house, Ze Ge'er was frightened by his death, so why didn't the nurse who had been staying in the house find out?

Zhao Yingjun was still thinking hard, the nurse had already sighed, sighing was the nurse of the dead child, although each other's masters were not in harmony, but their private friendship was fine, when they were not married in the past, they were also little sisters who worked in one place. She said, "Why is she so unlucky? No matter what the truth is, she is a death, I just ask my wife to be gracious, don't implicate her family, her child is less than half a year old. ”

Zhao Yingjun was reminded by her that the nurse of the dead child was really difficult to escape responsibility, if the child died before Ze Ge'er entered the house, she would be guilty of unabolitionable dereliction of duty; If the child was killed by Ze Ge'er, she would not be able to escape the responsibility of letting people into the house and leaving; Even if the child simply dies of illness, she will not be able to get better.

Chuncao didn't have much friendship with the nurse, and she was not in the mood to sympathize with others at the moment, she was more worried about the matter itself: "Good sister-in-law, do you think I should tell Mrs. Sù about this?" The old lady was also in that courtyard, and I was afraid that they would make it bad, and I would blame the old lady for this. ”

The nurse thought about it, but she had a different opinion on whether to tell the Zhang family: "No, the old lady is not close to Brother Hong'er, and there is no need to harm his great-grandson, they can't do it if they want to, but with the old lady's temperament, if she knows about it, she will definitely say it, killing her brother is not a small crime, even if Brother Ze'er is still young and ignorant, he will be punished, and then Grandma Jue will know that it is you who sued him!" ”

Chuncao was really startled: "Then what should I do?" Brother Ze is the lifeblood of Grandma Jue, and she won't have to tear me up when the time comes?! ”

The nurse thought for a while: "Let's take a look first, if they frame the old lady, you tell the old lady the truth, and ask her to decide, if they don't frame it, you will be deemed not to know about it." I heard that the old lady and the second master are planning to go out separately, you must follow, you will not be from this mansion at that time, and it will not be too late to sue the old lady at that time. ”

Chuncao hesitated for a while, then agreed, and she also said: "Brother Hengzhuhong is dead, and he is a concubine, even if I tell the matter, Master Hou and Mrs. will not ask Brother Ze'er to pay for his life." Brother Ze is the eldest son and grandson, and he is very noble! If outsiders know that he has done such a thing, even if he is young and ignorant, his future in this life will be gone, and Hou Ye's face will be gloomy. I think even if they knew, they would help Brother Ze hide it, right? Why should I bother to fold myself into something I can't change? ”

The matter seemed to be settled, and the two agreed not to sue the third person, and after swearing to each other, they looked up and saw Zhao Yingjun sitting on the kang, staring at them with slippery eyes, and they were all startled.

Chuncao nervously grabbed the nurse's hand: "Sister-in-law, will the eldest sister hear it?" ”

The nurse quickly calmed down and patted her hand soothingly: "It's okay, how old is she?" Even if you hear it, you can't understand it. ”

How did they know that this eldest sister had changed the core in her body, and she had already understood that she couldn't understand it anymore. Zhao Yingjun couldn't help but vomit in her heart, what ideas did these two eldest sisters think? Chuncao went to the yard over there and was bumped into by Ze Ge'er, it's not a secret, at least Ze Ge'er and the nursing mother of the dead child are aware, if Ze Ge'er really killed her brother, she, as a half of a witness, didn't tell the truth to the master's family as soon as possible, was she afraid that people wouldn't come to kill her? I am a modern wearer, and I know that this kind of secret cannot be passed on, why can't the two natives think of it?

Helplessly, Zhao Yingjun is now a baby who has just turned one year old, and she can't speak, at most, she just calls her parents a few times, and she can't reason with these two natives, she just hopes that people won't be too cruel.

What Zhao Yingjun feared did not happen. The shock of Zhao Hong's death quickly subsided, he was just a child who had just completed the moon, it was very common for children to die in this era, only his biological mother Xiao Qian cried a few times, and the words were blaming the main room Jiang, the child was raised in her hospital, and the nurse was also a person she sent, and the child was gone, so it was naturally her responsibility. Jiang very simply admitted the responsibility of negligence in front of her in-laws, but also defended herself, although the child was raised in her hospital, but in Xiao Qian's house, all the living and eating were Xiao Qian's own hands, even the nurse was sent by Xiao Qian's nod, she was suspected of negligence as a mother-in-law, but she did not dare to bear the sin of deliberately killing her concubine.

The Jiang family has the eldest son Zhao Ze, and the mother's family is powerful, although the Xiaoqian family still has a son and a daughter, the weight is far less than hers. Although Aunt Qian's grandmother was a little reluctant, her son Jiannanhou spoke, and she couldn't make any more trouble, Jiang was just reprimanded a few words without pain, and he was not even deprived of the right to assist the housekeeper. However, in order to show justice and grief at the death of her concubine, she ordered the nurse who was imprisoned in the backyard for dereliction of duty to be beaten to death, and all her family members were driven out of the house.

Xiao Qian is not angry that the main room has not been severely punished, but there is no way, she has other children, she always has to think about them, so she can only cry and bury her little son, send it to the family temple outside the city, and place it with the coffin of the county grandfather.

The child died before the age of a month, and according to the rules, even the family cemetery could not be entered, Xiao Qian began to find a way to persuade the old aunt and grandmother to let her talk to Jiannanhou, so that the child could have a decent burial place.

Before the matter was completed, Zhao Ze also fell ill, he started a high fever, and talked nonsense, his biological mother Jiang was worried that his illness was a previous illness from his younger brother, and ordered someone to seal off his yard, let her husband take Xiao Qian and the children to move to other yards to rest, and send her daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law's house, she herself took the maid mother-in-law to guard her son's bedside, and no one else was allowed to approach, so carefully took care of it for two days, and the child's condition improved.

Rumors began to rise in the Hou Mansion, pointing out that the county grandfather was reluctant to let his grandsons and great-grandchildren go, so he wanted to take away a companion, first he fell in love with the eldest sister of Zhuo's second master's family, and then Brother Hong'er of Uncle Jue's family, and now even Brother Ze'er has suffered, fortunately, the county grandfather felt sorry for his children and grandchildren, and finally only took away Brother Hong, this little great-grandson was born after his death, he didn't see it in the old man's family, it is rare, as for Brother Ze'er, he still has to keep the top door to set up a household, and the county grandfather is not reluctant.

This rumor soon spread throughout the entire Hou Mansion, and within two days, even other princes and nobles in the capital also knew about it, and even the long-lived lord in the palace also asked twice. No one said that Brother Hong'er's death was strange, but thought that he died normally and decently, because he was promoted by the deceased county grandfather - if he wasn't the most beloved junior, how could the old man not pick anyone and only take him away? Xiao Qian's family had to be refuted if she had any objections, and even Zhao Jue and Aunt Qian were not on her side, so she had to shut up.

It's just that the rumors are spreading, and some people have changed their taste, and some people began to say that there is only one milk doll around the county grandfather, and it is too lonely, although the child can bear the joy, but there is no one to wait for the old man, should the county grandfather take away a caring person who can serve him?

Zhang's naturally disdain this kind of rumors, not because she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but because the county grandfather Zhao Zhu she knows is a person who really feels sorry for the child, and will never cut off the lives of his children and grandchildren just to have someone accompany him.

But Aunt Qian didn't think much about it, she began to be afraid of the night, she couldn't sleep well, she chattered all day long, and secretly found monks and nuns to ask about the method of exorcism. Isn't this kind of thing spreading out to him in the face of him? Why can't his biological mother be as trouble-free as his stepmother?!

But Niu didn't think much about it, she always felt that this matter was strange: "How did this rumor spread in the mansion?" It's only been two days since it spread to the outside world, and it's clearly aimed at the old aunt and grandmother, could it be the old lady's trick? ”

"Where did she do such a thing?" Zhao Jiong disagreed, "The shameless things that my aunt and grandmother do on weekdays are not the only ones, but as long as she is smarter, she will not make a storm in the city!" ”

Niu glanced at him and straightened his waist: "Anyway, the matter of separating the family can't be delayed any longer." My aunt's family left Beijing yesterday, so let's do it tomorrow! ”
