Chapter 167: Midori
After saying that, she had forgotten to lower her voice, and when she heard it, Gui's mother couldn't help but cover her ears, and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth.
Lu Nong was displeased, and hurriedly went to break Gui's mother's fingers, but the harder she tried, the tighter Gui's mother covered, as if she wanted to stick her hand to her mouth.
The sunlight on the early summer afternoon shone on the mother and daughter, like a layer of golden light, lining Gui's mother's face as white as frost and snow.
She was really afraid of her disobedient little daughter, and she didn't dare to let her do anything recklessly.
Gui's mother refused to let go, and only whispered in her daughter's ear: "Miss Nine is a concubine, and her future future is in the hands of her wife, what can you do with her?" In the past, Mrs. sent you here, just to make you have a long memory, don't be proud in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, sooner or later you will be transferred back to Miss Eight. β
Lu Nong was not happy to listen to her clichΓ©, frowned irritably, and bit into Gui's mother's tiger's mouth.
"You girl!" Mother Gui let out a low cry of pain and retracted her hand.
Lu Nong wiped the corners of his mouth and said hatefully: "I grew up with Miss Eight, and it was originally different from jade, purple, willow and yellow, why can't I be proud?" β
She is not young, and she has been with Mrs. Zhu for a long time, and she knows some things early.
Because she is only a little older than Xie Shuning and has a good birth, she has been regarded as Xie Shuning's future dowry maid since she was a child.
This marrying maid, although it is said to be a maid, is used to fix the pet when the young lady marries a woman and is pregnant in the future, and it is inconvenient to serve her uncle.
With her posture and means, coupled with the fact that her biological mother Gui's mother is a powerful mother-in-law by his wife's side, she wants to raise an aunt and have another son in the future, which is simply easy.
Just because she's small doesn't mean she's ambitious.
Don't wait for Gui's mother to speak. She said again: "Now that I have a lot of face in Ruixiang Courtyard, why should I go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to lick her stinky feet again!" β
Mother Gui was so angry that her face turned pale.
She has been in the inner house for many years, and she knows in her heart that even if the mother and daughter are in a remote place at the moment, there is no one on the side, but this does not mean that the partition wall has no ears.
If the words in Lu Nong's mouth were heard by someone with a heart, no matter how much she pleaded, presumably the Song family would never let go.
She was horrified, but she still endured, took Lu Nong's hand again, and comforted her in a good voice: "Everyone knows that you are my daughter." Mrs. also watched you grow up, as long as you please Miss Eight, how should you be in the future, you can't bear to be sensible? β
If Xie Shuning is unhappy, what good can they do?
Gui's mother was puzzled. I can't understand what my little daughter is thinking.
Midori didn't bother to listen to her anymore, and stomped his foot and pulled his hand out. "Mother, don't worry about it! I'm not a child. I know it! β
"You don't want to come here!" Mother Gui heard some hints from these words, and suddenly felt bad, so she hurriedly drank a sentence.
But Lu Nong just rolled his eyes and fled from her in a hurry.
Gui's mother touched the tooth marks on her hands, sighed again and again, and beat her chest.
Xie Yuanmao in the house. He also sighed constantly.
The girl lying on the bed still did not look awake, but her face seemed to be getting more and more ugly.
Lu Kong took her pulse, looked carefully at the bruises on her arms and the wounds on her shoulders, shook her head and said, "The one on her arm looks like it was pinched out." But the red mark on the shoulder is unknown. However, the sixth master and his wife can rest assured that Miss Nine's body is fine, and the sudden fainting is just because she is weak, and it will be okay if she prescribes two medicines and eats them. β
Xie Yuanmao didn't dare to rest assured when he heard this, and asked: "Is this really the case?" So why is she sweating? β
Lukong hesitated.
After a while, Fang Xu said: "Some small words don't know whether to say or not." β
"If you have anything to say, Doctor Lu, it doesn't hurt to say it!" When Xie Yuanmao heard this, the governor was strange and said busily.
Lu Kong nodded slightly, then glanced sideways at Xie Shumin, who was lying on the bed, and said softly: "In my opinion, Miss Nine will actually be awake this time." β
Xie Yuanmao was shocked, "But she's obviously still asleep!" β
If they were awake, why did they call several times, but there was no movement, and they didn't even lift their eyelids.
Lu Kong opened the medicine box, took out the things inside, and said, "Miss Jiu, I also saw a case when I was an apprentice with my master in Yanling in the past. The young lady of that family is also like this, there are bruises on her body from time to time, and it is useless to take many medicines. Later, everyone realized that this was not a disease at all, but a dirty thing. The family then invited the Taoist chief to exorcise evil spirits, and the Taoist chief really caught a little ghost from that house, and the young lady was safe. She later said that in the past, when we talked at her bedside, she could hear her, but she couldn't open her mouth. is obviously sober, but he can't move or speak, isn't this look like Miss Nine now? β
Everyone is afraid of ghosts, especially those who are weak-hearted.
Hearing the words dirty, Xie Yuanmao became more and more sure of his guess in his heart, and his eyes widened, "Is there really such a thing?" β
Lu Kong's face was embarrassed, and he considered his words: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." β
Xie Yuanmao looked at the Song family with a solemn expression and asked, "What does Madame think?" β
"Give it a try." After listening to what Lu Kong said, Song also felt palpitations, "Even if it is not evil, it can be regarded as a blessing." β
Xie Yuanmao felt a little more comfortable when he heard this.
So they sent Lu Kong out, and let them wait for him to prescribe medicine, and then let the coachman send him back.
Xie Shumin has not woken up.
In the evening, the maid decocted the medicine and drank it with her, but she still had no intention of waking up.
Xie Yuanmao read what Lu Kong had said, and quietly discussed with the Song family, "Most of the people gathered in the Taoist temple in Kyoto are liars, isn't it better to invite the master of the temple to chant the scriptures?" β
Besides, if it was really the third old lady, maybe reciting some mantras for the exceeding, it would be fine, and I couldn't say.
Of course, the Song family will not say bad about this matter.
Xie Yuanmao said: "The master of Puji Temple's abstinence is highly respected, if you can invite him to come, it must be the best." β
Thinking about it, it is true that only abstaining from anger is the most reliable.
The couple settled the matter, and decided to ask people to go up to the mountain gate with the name card early the next morning.
After deciding on this matter, Xie Yuanmao breathed a long sigh of relief, and then remembered that he had caused his eldest daughter to cry during the day, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, and it was inconvenient to pull down his father's face to apologize in person, so he asked the kitchen to specially make a few dishes that Xie Shuning liked to eat, and sent them to Xiaoxiang Pavilion alone.
Song knew about it, and secretly laughed, so he went with him, and he took advantage of the night to gather the maids and women in Ruixiang Courtyard into the courtyard.
Everyone vaguely knew that something big had happened today, but they didn't know what it was.
When the stars rise in the sky, the people are gathered.
The Song family got straight to the point, ordered a few maids and wives close to Xie Shumin to come out, and directly reprimanded them for dereliction of duty without saying a word, and fined them three months of money.
Lu Nong was unhappy when he heard that the money was deducted, but he thought that this time it must have been done, so he raised his eyebrows.
However, she was not happy for long.
After beating the people in Ruixiang Courtyard in turn, the Song family let everyone disperse, leaving only Lunong.
brought people into the house, but did not let Gui's mother in.
Midori suddenly panicked.
Zhuo's mother rushed from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Song asked her, in Ruixiangyuan, but did she stay happy?
She was stunned, not knowing for a moment whether she should shake her head or nod.
In a daze, Song asked again.
Midori shook his head hurriedly.
Song sighed, and suddenly said something else: "At the third watch that day, what were you doing in Miss Nine's inner room?" β
Hearing this, Lu Nong looked up at Zhuo's mother in a panic, and suddenly sweated on her back.
That night, she took a closer look, Zhuo's mother couldn't sleep anymore, how could she be discovered?
"Slaves, slaves and maids just go in...... Go in and see if Miss Nine is sleeping well......" She lied and was full of loopholes.
Song's heart was sour, Lu Nong had grown up with her since she was a child, she was lively and likable when she was young, and now she has become like this. She stretched out her fingers and rubbed her eyebrows, and then shook her head, "Miss Nine lost a necklace of southern pearls, a fan pendant carved from high-quality jade, and a few gold beads in Miss Nine's room......"
Midorino shuddered.
Didn't Xie Shumin take these things and let her go to buy incense in exchange for silver?
Ordinary and inferior incense must not be used, and if you want to buy good incense, you will naturally be unable to lack silver.
She listened to the Song family send out those objects one by one, and she was stunned.
At this moment, Zhuo's mother took out a box out of nowhere.
The box is open, the necklace of the southern beads, the pendant of the fan, the gold beads...... They all lay quietly inside.
Lu Nong was dumbfounded, and heard Song Shi say in his ears: "The shopkeeper of the pawnshop personally recognized the portrait, and the person painted on the portrait is you." β
"Ma'am! Madame, this is not done by a slave! Not really! With a chill down his spine, Lu Nong rushed over and hugged Song's calf and shouted.
But with all the physical witnesses, where can she tell the difference? What's more, she did it!
shouted a few times, and when she saw that the Song family didn't move, she panicked: "It's Miss Nine, it's Miss Nine who let the slave maid go!" β
Song was silent, then helped her and said quietly: "How did you become like this?" How old is Miss Nine, she doesn't even know what a pawnshop does, so where can she ask you to be a pawnshop? β
Midori cried, "Madam, the slave and maid have never said a word of lie-"
But the more she argued, the more no one believed her.
Song let go of his hand and ordered: "Come on, lock up Lu Nong." β
The two mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists approached, and Lu Nong struggled desperately, but where could she earn them, she was gagged by a sweat towel and dragged down.
Song turned his face away, disappointed in his heart.
When the news reached the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, it was nearly half of the night.
Xie Shuning hadn't fallen asleep yet, waiting for Mother Zhuo to come back.
Zhuo's mother said something when she entered the door. (To be continued......)
