Chapter 428: My mother is gone
After Xue Rui ordered Ji Xingxuan to be tortured, he would take time to go to the prison every day, but for three days, he couldn't pry Ji Xingxuan's mouth open.
The more Ji Xingxuan gritted his teeth, the more sure he was that there was a mastermind behind her, on the one hand, he sent more people in prison to protect her from being secretly killed, and on the other hand, he began to investigate the suspicious characters she had contacted before, trying to peel off the cocoon and lure the snake out of the hole.
On this day, Xue Ruifang returned home from Dali Temple, and when he entered the door, he listened to the housekeeper's report, and his second aunt Xin sent someone to send a message and invited him to drink tea in Xifu.
Xue Rui changed out of his official uniform and went to Xifu.
Although the Xue family has a big business, the people are not prosperous, and when it comes to Xue Lingnan's lineage, because he is not good at drinking, he only has two sons and two daughters under his knees, and he is not fortunate or unlucky, one of the two daughters became the princess of Hunan and the other became a concubine.
But the eldest son passed away at an early age, leaving only Xue Rui with such an incense stick, and was brought up by Xue Lingnan since he was a child. The second son was originally from Xue Lingnan's concubine, and after the death of the eldest son, he sent his name to the main room, and now he is a waiter in the military department, and he married a young lady of the Xin family, that is, Xue Rui's second aunt Xin.
The Xin family has a son and two daughters, this woman is clever, and she manages Xue Shilang's inner courtyard in an orderly manner, and has been kind and kind to Xue Rui, the grandson of the long house, since she was a child, but her only son, Xue Kuangxu, for some reason, always does not deal with Xue Rui, the lobby brother.
Shilang's Mansion is adjacent to the street with Shangshufu, often called Xifu, as soon as Xue Rui entered the gate, there was a fast-paced servant running in to pass the news, and when he passed through the flower hall, the two personal maids beside Xin's had already greeted him and led the way.
When Xue Rui saw Xin, she was embroidering incense sachets in the garden, and several finished products were placed in the basket, and when she saw her nephew coming, she stopped her needlework and pointed to the stone pier and asked him to sit down.
"Second aunt, are you looking for me?" When Xue Rui came, he wondered what the Xin family was looking for him, and after thinking about it, it should be because of what happened in Xuan Chunyuan a few days ago.
Sure enough, Xin smiled at him, the corners of her crooked eyes looked very kind, she poured him a cup of tea with her own hands, and asked without turning around:
"Yesterday I went back to my mother's house, and I heard my second brother tell me that my little niece almost had an accident at the banquet of the Nine Emperor Princes and was pushed out of the upper floor, but fortunately you saved her. With such a big affection, the second uncle of your Xin family wants to put a wine to thank you, but he is thin-skinned, so send me over to ask first.
This is the beauty of Xin's person, although she is Xue Rui's elder, she never puts a stand in front of him, even if it is a trivial matter, she will not advocate for Xue Rui.
Xue Rui took a sip of tea and shook his head: "Second aunt doesn't know, the sixth lady of the Xin family can't be saved by me, and I don't dare to take this thank you banquet." ”
This is the truth, if Yu Shu hadn't run fast and took the risk of pulling Xin Liu, he would have fallen downstairs a long time ago, how could he wait for him to arrive.
Xin Shi was not surprised, but said: "I know that there was still that female operator present at the time, I heard that she was the first to pull the person down, my brother and sister-in-law must be grateful to her, Brother Rui is not too worried." Alas, I'll tell you the truth, your uncle of the Xin family, you are in charge of this case, so you want to make a little bit of trouble, don't make the murderer who dared to kill our girl better. ”
Xue Rui said: "Then you don't have to be serious about the second aunt's family, isn't it also our own family in the house, so it seems to be separated." Second aunt, rest assured, this case was ordered by the emperor to be investigated, and I dare not be a little sloppy. ”
Xin couldn't make sense of him, his eyes rolled half a circle, so he took two sentences over, and picked up a freshly embroidered sachet from the sewing basket and stuffed it to him:
"Last time, I looked at the corner of your Tibetan incense purse, and I sewed a new trick for you, you know that I love to think about these to pass the time. I don't dare to say anything else, in terms of needlework, there is no one in the two houses who is better than me. ”
Xue Rui took it with a smile, and Xin didn't wait for him to open his mouth to speak, so he pouted him first: "You have a lot of business, get busy, change Ming'er's case, don't forget that the prophet will tell me." ”
Xue Rui agreed, took the sachet and left, and when the others disappeared, Xin turned his head and beckoned to the east of the pavilion, only to see a middle-aged woman with a rich appearance walking out from behind the tree, patting the corner of her skirt and going to the pavilion.
"Sister-in-law, you have heard it, it's not that I don't pull the red line for my family, it's that people don't have that mind," Xin said helplessly to his second sister-in-law, Hou.
Hou Shi said unhappily: "Why didn't I see it, you didn't mention our Fei Fei, even if this eldest prince has thoughts, who can see it?" ”
Xin secretly rolled his eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, think about it, he really wants it, I heard that my brother invited him to a banquet, why don't you hurry up and agree, why do you have to refuse." ”
Hou thought about it, but it was also such a reason, and his expression couldn't help but be apprehensive, Xin looked at it, so he withdrew the maid and persuaded in a low voice:
"I'll talk to you a lot, Old Lady Xue has plans to marry the Earl's Mansion, although the matter has not been decided, but I see that it is very different. Sister-in-law, don't get up in a daze, and lose the value of your niece, you said that in the end this will reach the ears of the old lady, so that the old man will take a fancy to him, and then give Fei Fei to the eldest son to harvest a second room, is it impossible for you? It's not that you don't know that the eldest prince in our mansion originally wanted to be a princess, and it wasn't like that-"
Speaking of this, she stopped her mouth suddenly, seeing that Hou was fascinated, she hurriedly interrupted:
"In short, the grandson and daughter-in-law of the Xue family are not the ones who want to be the son."
When Hou heard her say this, he already regretted that he was reckless, so he smiled bitterly: "It's not that I covet anything, it's just that I have such a precious daughter in front of me, I want her to marry well, and I can pull her brother in the future." Didn't Mrs. Xue be locked up in the backyard because she killed the eldest master, I thought that his family was not controlled by his mother-in-law, and I heard you say that the eldest son's room was clean, thinking that this was a good thing to kiss and kiss, so I made up my mind. If that's what you said, I'm not going to touch it. ”
Xin heard that she had changed her mind, and hurriedly followed a few words of persuasion, and finally broke Hou's thoughts.
Xue Rui walked out of Xifu, walked to East Street, stopped after walking a short distance, hooked his hand towards the side of the road, and a half-old boy ran out of the middle road, came up and flattered:
"Eldest son, the third young master went out to drink flower wine last night and hasn't come back yet."
"Well, who has been to Xifu during the day?"
"If you talk back, the little one will see the second grandmother of the Xin family come to the door."
"When did the man leave?"
"I don't think I saw it."
Xue Rui touched his chin, thought for a moment, and probably guessed what the Xin family was looking for him today, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and said to the kid, "You go." ”
"Eh, you're good to go."
Yu Shu listened to Xue Rui's words in the past few days and didn't run around, so he put plasters on the Wangji Building, drank soup, and recuperated with peace of mind, and his strained arm quickly became swollen.
In the middle of the afternoon, she was lying on the patio with Erlang's legs crossed, nibbling on the pumpkin that had been specially entered by the Wangji Building, and Xiao Bai sat on a stool on the side, playing a brisk tune according to the tune she ordered.
"Sister, sister!"
Yu Shu put down the melon skin, and there was still a black melon seed stuck to the corner of his mouth, and he saw Yu Xiaoxiu open the curtain and run in in a panic, followed by the panting fat man Lin Fu.
"Minor repairs?" Yu Shu hurriedly sat up, wiped his mouth and said, "Why did you come here?" ”
Yu Xiaoxiu pressed his chest and shouted breathlessly: "Mother, mother is gone!" ”
When Yu Shu heard this, she didn't feel panicked and surprised, she had already found out that she would have a peaceful birthday in a few days, and there would be some trouble around her.
"What's going on, don't worry, come and sit down." Yu Shu pulled the person to his side, glanced at Lin Fu, and asked him to go down and busy with him.
Yu Xiaoxiu didn't catch his breath, so he hurriedly told him what had happened-
Today is the rest day of Baichuan Academy, because Yu Shu has been away from home for a while, Yu Xiaoxiu can't see Aunt Cui, so he wants to go over to see her, so he told Zhao Hui and asked Liu Zhong to drive him to the courtyard where Aunt Cui was committed.
Who thought of the place, was told by the servant woman who left boiling water in the yard to cook that Aunt Cui and the maid Xiangsui had not come back for several days, and the servant woman was bought by Yu Shu from the courtyard, and when she saw that the master did not go home, she was anxious but had nowhere to find it, and she didn't know where Yu Shu lived, so she had to wait for someone in the small courtyard.
Yu Shu frowned after hearing this, and asked, "Are their clothes and bags still there?" ”
It wasn't for Yu Xiaoxiu to remind her, she almost forgot about Aunt Cui, it seems that she hasn't been to see her since she was released from the list.
"I went into the house to see, the clothes are all there, the mother-in-law said that the mother went out three days ago in the morning, with the incense spike, and never came back, sister, where did you say the mother went, could she be arrested by the Ji family?"
Yu Xiaoxiu didn't ask the servant woman who was cooking carefully because he was too worried, so Yu Shu asked a few words, and he didn't know what to do.
Yu Shu thought that she had arranged Aunt Cui in a remote place, and according to the Ji family's strength in Anling City, she couldn't find it, and the possibility of being captured by them was not high, but when she thought of how worry-free Aunt Cui was, she was afraid that she would find it by herself because of the wrong tendon.
"Sister?" Yu Xiaoxiu pulled Yu Shu, in addition to worry, there was also a little pleading on his face, as if he was afraid that Yu Shu would give up.
Seeing this, Yu Shu patted him on the shoulder with his hand and comforted: "Don't be afraid, my sister will go back to the room first to calculate a hexagram and see if my mother is safe." ”
Yu Xiaoxiu nodded hurriedly, Master Ji San gave him the whip at the beginning, he still remembers it clearly, smoking it on his body is the same as peeling the skin, he is really afraid that Aunt Cui will be caught back, and she will be beaten like this.
Yu Shu took Yu Xiaoxiu downstairs, and when she went to the study to get trouble, she summed up Aunt Cui's eight characters, which made her secretly relieved, and she couldn't help but wonder-
Aunt Cui has not been sick or sick for a while, and she must not have been arrested by the Ji family, so where will she run away empty-handed? To be continued.
