Chapter 30: Reversal
These words are obviously aimed at Ruyao - although Ruyao is only thirteen years old, she was recorded in Zhang's name back then, and from her room, the whole family must call her Miss.
But now that the strength of the Shen Mansion has been reversed, the Wang family is in charge of the housework, and with her acquiescence, the servants only call Ruzhen in her room the eldest lady, and the two rooms are connected in terms of ranking, and Ruyao is counted as the second, and there are even those who only call her "in the courtyard over there".
Rucan's voice is obviously to expose people's scars and have bad intentions.
Several maids present changed their faces, Qingyi pursed her lips, anger appeared in her eyes, but she stood solemnly without saying a word, she saw that Xiao Gu was kicked and rolled to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
Ruyao's eyes flashed, and she picked up the handkerchief on the side and handed it to them, and then slowly grabbed a white fruit, and said that she was not very elegant, "Sister Can is in such a hurry to run, but is there something?" β
"Can't you come without trouble?!"
Rucan's eyes swept towards her bowl a few times, and a look of ridicule appeared on her lips, "Sister Yao, after so many years of getting along, I didn't expect you to love to eat these white fruits and bamboo shoots, bitter and hard to chew - I gave these things to the third-class people in the courtyard, and even the few around me refused to eat it." β
She stabbed like this, but Ruyao was still calm, eating by herself, and the smile on her lips did not decrease, "It is written in the Compendium of Materia Medica: Ginkgo white is golden, so it can enter the lung meridian, benefit lung qi, and fix asthma - third sister, your throat was hoarse and coughed last time, but your lungs are weak, so let's go back and eat more!" οΌ
"You're ......!"
Rucan's face turned red with anger, and she opened her mouth - this was an irony for the last time she lost her temper at Ruzhen for Xiao Yue, she was about to get angry, but she heard Qingman's laughter outside the door-
"Sister Yao is really joking, the third sister, her face is ruddy, her eyes are bright, how can it be that she hurts her lungs - if your grandmother hears this, she will think that you are cursing your sister!"
With this sharp words, Ruzhen Shi Shiran appeared at the door, she was wearing a snow fox trimmed emerald short jacket with a light apricot long skirt, and a dazzling collar hung down on her chest, but it was not luxurious, she only felt that the bright light was shining, and she was as beautiful as dust.
Ruyao put down her chopsticks, "Sister Zhen is also here, it seems that the food in my courtyard is too fragrant, causing you to move your jade feet to take a look." β
Ruzhen stared at her and showed a reserved smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, my mother is not at ease, so we are coming to visit you." β
Immediately, her beautiful eyes froze, she looked at Mother Qin and Xiao Gu who were standing on the side, and reprimanded with a stern smile: "You two are so bold that you dare to use such a dish to make up the numbers!" Our Shen family can't tolerate this kind of slave who bullies the master, so drag me out and beat me up! β
Immediately, someone came up to detain people, Ruzhen glanced at the few maids standing around, and pointed with a sneer: "And you too!" Your own master eats this kind of food, and you steal the delicacies of the mountains and seas and watch them blankly, what is the use of raising you! Sister Yao can't control you with her heart, I'll make the decision for her and replace her! β
Someone stepped forward to drag someone down, Ruyao heard this, finally put away the chopsticks, put them on the table with a snap, and smiled, it was unprecedented solemnity, "It turns out that Sister Zhen and Sister Can are here to make decisions for me, I am really grateful." β
Her voice is not loud, and the last few words accentuate her tone, which makes people's hearts pound.
"Sister Yao, you have always been unable to control your subordinates, the matter of the mourning clothes back then...... Those who know the Tao will say that the people are not careful, and they don't know the old relatives of the Tao, and they think that their sister is so lively and prettyββ"
Ruzhen usually speaks without leakage, but today somehow, she is full of sharp and sarcastic edge, as if she wants to deliberately provoke Ruyao.
Rucan glanced at her and giggled: "That's not Sister Yao's biological mother, it's just crying and shouting, how can there really be any sadness?" β
This sentence finally touched Ruyao's scales, she stood up, her eyes glared coldly, and she was about to have a seizure, when suddenly a hoarse scream came-
"Spare my lifeβI know the whereabouts of Granny Lin!"
It was Xiao Gu who was dragged to the door and was about to be scolded with a cane!
Everyone was shocked.
Ru Yao was stunned, and remembered what Fang Cai's mother Qin said - Granny Lin relied on the power of the Wang family, and dared to leave her post without permission and never came back until now, which caused the kitchen to have to use the food bought outside to make up the amount. She suddenly moved in her heart, and slowly suppressed her anger, she looked at Qin's mother with an inquiring gaze, only to find that the latter was sweating profusely, her face was pale, and her body was trembling.
Ruzhen was even more angry when she was shocked, "How can you speak here, who cares about such a slave who doesn't understand the rules!" β
Mother Qin was uncertain and was about to speak, but Ru Yao interrupted them by interjecting, "Qingyi, go and bring them back." β
"Yes, miss."
Qingyi broke free from a few servants, ran out of the door and helped Xiao Gu and the two back.
Xiao Gu was not injured, but the bundle of hair had been completely scattered, and the long black hair like a crow's sideburns was snaked over his face, and his facial features could not be seen on his dirty black face, only the pair of mercury-like eyes were on Ruyao.
Ruyao blinked, and suddenly felt that she had seen these eyes somewhere.
She didn't think much about it, and asked directly: "Where did Granny Lin go in the kitchen, causing the whole family to eat and go wrong." β
When she said this, Ruzhen, who wanted to confuse the reason, suddenly froze, but Rucan didn't know what to do, and screamed: "Where is the Lin Pozi who went wrong, it is clear that these two Diao slaves are making ghosts from it and delaying the serious meal......"
Ruyao interrupted her and asked repeatedly, "Where did Granny Lin go?" β
Xiao Gu looked at her fixedly, and suddenly cried and trembled, and her body was covered like chaff, "She was cut into several pieces...... Several, dead. β
Everyone was already stunned, and Qin's mother, who was helped back together, became more and more nervous, and her whole person trembled like a swing, almost fainting.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ruzhen was shocked and angry, knowing that things had changed, and she was about to drink and ask her to be tied up for a good question, but she heard an old and kind voice sound: "You let her continue." β
Hearing this, everyone trembled, and looked back at the porch, only to see a group of flowery maids hugging the old lady and walking slowly.
"Girl Jane, what are you doing? And what do these two do? β
The old lady squinted her eyes and looked at the two, then remembered the origin of Qin's mother, and a sneer of disgust flashed across her mouth, "Are you the eldest daughter-in-law's side?" Indeed, there is a master, and there must be a servant! β
This sentence was obviously vicious, and Qin's mother bit her lower lip stubbornly, and her head slammed on the ground and refused to lift it.
Ruzhen was overjoyed when she saw the situation, stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen my grandmother." β
Then he pointed at Mother Qin and Xiao Gu, "These two Diao slaves relied on Sister Yao's soft ears to cause a big disaster in the kitchen and miss today's meal." β
Qingyi on the side heard her so upside down black and white, obviously it was the Lin Pozi next to the Wang family who ran away and didn't know where to go, but she splashed the sewage on her own young lady, and she was about to confess, but she was pulled by Ruyao's sleeve and stopped her mouth.
"Really?"
The old lady glanced at Ruzhen lightly, and said with a smile: "Then why did I hear it in a trance, saying that the Lin Pozi was dead, and this was delayed...... And how many pieces? β
She turned her head and pointed at Xiao Gu, and said, "You come!" β
The voice is not big, but it carries absolute majesty.
Xiao Gu had already cried and had a face, wiped it with his sleeve, and sobbed and talked, what she said was reversed, and she came out to the toilet late at night, and found that there was a black shadow chasing Lin Pozi, and cut the person into several pieces, and dragged the body away afterwards.
Such a statement is simply a fantasy, everyone is like hearing a story, they can't believe it at all, and if they want to ask deeply, she can't see anything clearly.
"Where did you drag the corpse?"
The old lady asked.
"Like, back garden."
Xiao Gu was still stupid, and Mother Qin on the side couldn't support it anymore, her head tilted, and she had completely collapsed - because she was leaning against the wall, and no one noticed it for a while.
The old lady waved her hand, and then someone went to search.
A short time later, someone came back to report - his eyes were glazed over, and he was retching, apparently frightened by the tragic scene, "Man, man has been found...... It's not buried deep, and it comes out as soon as you dig it! β
The old lady's trusted mother-in-law hurried in, pale and hurried, and with shaking hands, a stone fell out of a bloodstained ragβa small piece of the rockery, with clear marks of hollowing.
The old lady took it and looked at it, and her face suddenly changed, "This is the rockery that collapsed that day." β
"Can't be wrong, it's all specially transported from Huzhou, and it's different from the local Jinling stone."
The old lady had a twitch at the corner of her lips and smiled coldly: "It turns out that Mrs. Lin is the culprit who murdered my two grandchildren!" β
She looked at Ruzhen Rucan, who was already frightened, and her voice was cold, "Go and call me your gentle and charitable mother!" People say that tiger poison does not eat children, and in order to frame her concubine, she is even willing to give up her own flesh and blood! β
