Chapter 141: Words (Addition to CadySS)
Zhou Chujin smiled disdainfully, raised his eyelids and landed at the door.
Ma Fushan's family was guarding the door.
Lan Ting's heart tightened, and he said hurriedly: "Miss, I didn't lie to you. The doctor is an acquaintance of the old man, and he is the best at seeing gynecology. Afterwards, the doctor was very strange, saying that his prescription was ancestral and had never made a mistake, let alone encountered such a situation, and called the stable woman at that time, the daughter-in-law who served in the house, etc., to ask and said, but he didn't know where the business trip was. The doctor shook his head as he left, saying, 'It's a strange thing.'" ”
Zhou Chujin said: "Then you can't conclude that there is a problem with the pot of water sent by Xinlan based on this?" ”
"But within a few days, I met Xinlan!" Lan Ting said, "Mrs. is not in good health, and the master pounces on his wife with all his heart, and he doesn't care much about family affairs." Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the New Year's goods at home have not yet been purchased. Several big maids take turns to serve in the wife's house, and the experienced daughter-in-law either guards the eldest lady or the second miss, especially the second miss," she said, looking at Zhou Shaojin, "Born like a kitten, it took two days to have the strength to suck, the old man was the second lady at one end, and the wife at the other, and he had to take the time to see the eldest lady, and the whole person lost weight." The steward called a few of our little maids to help count the New Year's goods.
"I learned literacy with my wife, and I knew a little arithmetic, so the steward asked me to reconcile bills with the guys in the goods store.
"The guy's handwriting is very sloppy, and I have just learned to read and write, and I have to ask him from time to time what he writes when I reconcile the accounts.
"As soon as I lifted it, I saw Xinlan.
She wore a silver-red gown, a little emerald flower on her head, a red ginkgo leaf hanging from her ears, and three or four golden horseshoe rings on her hands, which were shining with gold and were more gorgeous than the clothes of ordinary wives. It's just that I didn't even bring a maid with me.
I called out to her.
She didn't seem to hear it, and went straight to the silver building next door to the grocery store.
"I wanted to go over and say hello to her, but I was only halfway through the order, and I didn't move my feet for fear of making a mistake. When I finished counting the goods, and when I waited there for the steward to come and load the car, I saw Xinlan walking out of the silver building.
"There's a guy with her next to her. Wearing a blue shirt, in the winter, only wearing a scarf, looking twenty-seven or eight years old, the person is very thin, and looks haggard.
So I asked the guy in the shop who the man was.
"The guy in the shop sues me that it's Master Cheng Baicheng of Cunrenfang......"
Zhou Shaojin was a little breathless.
She grabbed her sleeve.
Zhou Chujin frowned and said, "How did that guy know Cheng Bai?" ”
Lan Ting said: "Cheng Bai also opened a north-south goods store in the Taiping Street area at that time, and he had a relationship with the grocery store where we bought things, so he knew each other. ”
Zhou Chujin nodded slightly.
Lanting continued: "I was curious.
"Didn't Xinlan marry a cotton harvester? Why did you get involved with Master Cheng of Cunrenfang again. I thought of the things she was wearing, to say the least, they were worth twenty or thirty taels of silver, and a little servant happened to come over and say that there was a collision of boats outside the Jiangdong Gate, and the boat pulling the fish could not enter the city for a while, and the steward wanted to go to the Jiangdong Gate to see, so let's take stock of the things and pull them back first.
"I used the excuse that I wanted to go to the street to buy myself two new handkerchiefs for the New Year, handed over the things to the little maid to load the car, and quietly followed.
Xinlan and Cheng Bai stopped in an alley. I heard Lan Ting say, I am a woman's family, living alone in the inn, those serious people only come to my relatives and have no relatives, but those disciples think I am a dusty woman, and I knock on my door in the middle of the night, so scared that I can't sleep all night, when can I follow you home? Slang doesn't mean that if you have money or not, it's better to marry a wife for the New Year. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, you can't let me spend the New Year alone in the inn, right?
Cheng Bai comforted her and said, soon, soon. When he's done with this time, he'll take her back. Then he took out a silver ingot and gave her to buy whatever she liked. also said that let her not run around during this time, and be careful to let those who have the heart to see some clues.
"At that time, I didn't know that my wife had been engaged, and I didn't know who this Cheng Bai was, and I thought that Xinlan didn't abide by women's morals, so she left her husband and ran away with this man, disdained her as a person, turned around and left.
"Later, when the wife was about to die, Uncle Zhuang came to the house to make a fuss, saying that the master had killed his wife, and he wanted the master to accompany Yinzi, and I knew that my wife and Cheng Bai had been married.
"But I didn't think about it at the time.
I just felt that Xinlan didn't do it properly and slapped my wife in the face.
"Having said that, I'm still curious if Xinlan finally entered the door of the Cheng family? If she really gave Cheng Bai as a concubine, and her wife knew, would she be ashamed? I found a way to inquire about Cheng Bai's news. Only then did I know that Cheng Bai was also sick, and the people of the Cheng family didn't know that there was such a person as Lan Ting. Not long after, Cheng Bai also died, and no one knew about it.
"I only guessed in my heart, but I didn't dare to tell the master.
"For so many years, it's like a heart disease, and every time I think about it, I can't sleep or eat. If I hadn't met the eldest lady this time, I would have been ready to rot this thing in my stomach. Who knows that I ended up telling the story. It can be seen that this is the wife in the spirit of heaven blessing the eldest lady and the second miss, so that the eldest lady and the second miss will not know anything, so that her old man will be wronged. ”
There was no such thing in the previous life!
Is what Lanting said true or false?
Zhou Shaojin carefully accelerated what Lan Ting said.
Zhou Chujin sneered: "I see, if I don't show you the color, you won't tell the truth." Ma Fushan's family, let those two rough mothers-in-law come in! ”
Lan Ting's face changed greatly, and he pleaded: "Miss, I have said everything I know, and none of it is false. If you don't believe me, I can swear with my life! ”
Ma Fushan's family poked his head in, saw the scene in the house, and quickly shrank back.
"Good!" Zhou Chujin stared at her like a knife, and said, "You swear now, if there is a word to hide, the son born will be a slave for generations, and the daughter born will be a prostitute for generations." ”
Lan Ting looked at Zhou Shaojin in amazement, the corners of his mouth were closed, but as if his throat was blocked, he never made a sound.
"What? Can't! Zhou Shaojin smiled sarcastically and said, "Let me ask you, when you entered the mansion, should Xinlan have already married?" ”
"Yes!" Lan Ting nodded, with a little uncertain hesitation and caution in his expression.
"In that case, you saw Lan Ting walking out of the silver building with a strange man, why do you ask the guy at the grocery store who the man is? When ordinary people see such a scene, don't all people think that the man is Xinlan's husband? ”
"I, I forgot to tell you," Lan Ting looked at Zhou Chujin with a nervous expression, "When she came to see her wife, she said that she came alone......
"Really?" Zhou Chujin said, "She came alone, isn't my mother curious why she is alone?" Even if you are a little maid, I don't know what my mother and Xinlan said, it's been so long, isn't it normal for Xinlan's husband to come over? ”
"She said at the time that she didn't have a good relationship with her husband, so I ......," Lanting added anxiously.
"Lan Ting," Zhou Chujin interrupted her coldly, "You're not tired, I'm tired." You have something to hide, but you just want to negotiate terms with me, so that I can let you go back to Baoding and stay by your father's side. You are also a person who has served your father for so many years, and you should know your father's temper best, and the person your father respects the most is your mother. Do you know what you've said in front of us today? ”
Lan Ting's eyes turned slightly, and his face collapsed to the ground as if he were dead.
"No, no, no......" she screamed, "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything......"
Zhou Chujin was not ready to let her go at all, and continued: "I just need to write to my father what you said today. If what you say is true, and you maliciously conceal it, you say, what will your father think of you? What will they do with you? If you are spreading rumors, using your mother's life and death to spread rumors, you say, your father will still let you stay by his side? Will it do to you the same way it did to you? ”
The last sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Lan Ting no longer had time to calculate anything, no time to care about anything. She muttered, "No, no." The lord won't treat me like that...... My lord is the most affectionate and righteous person in the world......"
Zhou Chujin and Zhou Shaojin both felt not tired of listening to it. Zhou Chujin simply called Ma Fushan's family to come in and said, "Bring two buckets of river water and wake her up for me." ”
At this time, it was already mid-autumn, the well water was warm, but the river water was cold, and it was already cold on the body.
In response, the Ma Fushan family quickly came in with two rough envoys carrying water, pointed at Lan Ting and said, "Drizzle!" ”
The two mothers-in-law rolled up their sleeves and poured water on Ban Ting's body.
Lan Ting shuddered and came to his senses.
Ma Fushan's family immediately retreated with two rough mothers-in-law, and carefully closed the door when they went out.
"Say it!" Zhou Chujin looked at Lan Ting, who was like a chicken in soup but couldn't even wipe the water on his face because he was tied, and said, "You said, as soon as I am happy, maybe I will let you live." But if you don't say it. I'll write to my father about it, and let him deal with you. After saying that, she laughed and said, "However, I think Mrs. Li must be more interested in you than my father, should I write a letter to Mrs. Li first, and then write a letter to my father......
"No, you can't do that!" Lanting screamed.
Zhou Chujin stood up and said, "Then you can see if I can do this!" ”
"I say, I say!" Lan Ting was suddenly overwhelmed, and cried, "Miss, let me go, where is Xinlan when I tell you?" ”
This is Lanting's hole card, right?
Zhou Shaojin pondered.
