Chapter 51: Going Crazy
Xue's news is even worse than Lin Zhiyu's, it is close to noon when a maid came to deliver food, and Xue overheard a few people chatting.
"Did you hear that? Last night they caught the second lady having a private meeting with the man. ”
"I've heard about it for a long time, and you don't know, in fact, it was Xue's idea to send people to guard it. I was next to me at the time, and she cried and shouted and begged the prime minister and the eldest lady to send someone to guard the back door, saying that she would definitely catch someone. No, it's caught. Caught his own family. ”
"The second lady will be arrested privately, what happened to her later?"
"The eldest lady was merciful, so she was forbidden and fined half a year. If it were in someone else's house, such a mother and daughter would have been sent to a nunnery a long time ago. ”
Xue's face was full of disbelief, "How is it possible?" How can it be Jiaojiao? It must be the ghost of the eldest lady! It had to be her. ”
The maid knocked on the door and came in to deliver the food, Xue had just been banned for two days, and the food didn't look so bad, but in Xue's opinion, these dishes were simply difficult to swallow.
Xue Shi grabbed and asked a little frantically, "Is what you said true?" Is it true?! ”
The maid was taken aback by Xue, "What did you say?" What is not true? ”
"The second lady was caught last night? Is it true?! Xue grabbed the maid's shoulders and shook back and forth in an attempt to find out the truth.
The maid was annoyed by Xue's shaking and pushed Xue away, "It's true!" ”
Xue Shi seemed to collapse in an instant, panting, "It can't be true, this thing can't be true!" You're lying to me! ”
The maid saw that the Xue family was a little crazy, and she panicked and wanted to leave. But Xue also saw the door she didn't close tightly, and rushed out in an instant.
"Someone! Someone! Aunt Xue has escaped! The maid saw that Xue Shi had run out and began to shout loudly.
When the guards heard this, they immediately came out to chase after them, so such a scene happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
A brightly dressed but somewhat insane-looking woman shouted and ran ahead, followed by a group of ironclad soldiers, and finally followed by a maid.
Probably because the Xue clan was stimulated, and he didn't know why he ran so fast that even the soldiers couldn't catch up.
The Xue family didn't take half a step halfway through, and ran to the courtyard of the eldest lady. It just so happened that the eldest lady was not there at this time, and only the prime minister was dealing with official documents in the early morning.
"Prime Minister! Wronged! Xue cried and knelt in front of the prime minister, startling the prime minister.
"Xue, what else do you want to say? You want to check the yard of the eldest lady, we have to check, you have to send someone to watch us at the back door, we are tolerant enough to you, what do you want! ”
"I'm talking about Lianhua, why did you catch the second miss?" Xue cried, his hands on the ground supporting his body.
"Who you say is who? They did see the second miss, is this the fault of the Fu soldiers? "The prime minister doesn't understand Xue's logic, and he doesn't want to understand it, so he thinks about why the eldest lady hasn't come over yet? He didn't want to say another word to Xue.
I really dozed off and came to the pillow, and the prime minister was thinking about it so that the eldest lady came over.
The eldest lady was holding the porridge boiled for the prime minister in her hand, and she saw that the Xue family was also full of boredom.
"Madame, isn't it you? Did you let people catch the second miss? She's a young lady, she's a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you're not qualified to arrest her! As soon as Xue saw the eldest lady coming, he was even more energetic, and shouted hysterically at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady ignored her and walked straight past her, brought the porridge in her hand to the prime minister, served the porridge to the prime minister, and carefully blew the cold before she had the strength to look at Xue.
"I'm not eligible? In this mansion, except for the prime minister, I am the only one who is qualified. Don't think how powerful it is to give birth to the prime minister's child, Lin Zhijiao is a concubine, I am qualified to manage the children of the concubine, what can I not manage if I have a concubine? ”
"Moreover, didn't you call someone to arrest Second Miss?" The eldest lady looked at Xue Shi and was a little unconscious, and she didn't know if the blow she had suffered in the past two days was too great.
"I ...... I had someone arrested? ”
"yes, didn't you say that if you let someone guard the back door, you will definitely catch the person who has a private meeting?"
Xue's brain was like paste, and he didn't know what was going on. It's obviously Lianhua who wants to be arrested, how did he become Lin Zhijiao?
"I'm not, the second lady must have been wronged, Prime Minister! The second lady was wronged! "Xue didn't care what the eldest lady said, she just felt that this matter must be the eldest lady's ghost to frame Lin Zhijiao.
"Xue, I see that you are becoming more and more presumptuous! What have you taught the second young lady to be! There is no respect for the elders, and he has a private meeting with a man. You! ......" The prime minister was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"We were sleeping last night when the soldiers reported that we had caught someone, and when we went to see it, we found out that it was the second lady, no one framed her at all, and she was not wronged at all." The eldest lady didn't want to be infamy, so she explained to the Xue family.
"Forget it, let's fulfill you, in the future, you and the second miss will be grounded together, just to cause less trouble for me." The eldest lady ordered someone to take Lin Zhijiao from her room to Xue's courtyard, and asked someone to bring Xue back.
The prime minister drank porridge, feeling that he had just been so troubled by the Xue family, he was not even in the mood to eat, and he really didn't want to see the Xue family again.
"This Xue family and Lin Zhijiao are really not worry-free." The prime minister shook his head while drinking the porridge boiled by the eldest lady.
"And what do you say, who brought this man back?" The eldest lady gave the prime minister a blank look, and the prime minister went out to run errands that year, and when he came back, he brought a woman with him, and he almost her off at that time.
The prime minister's face was a little unbearable, he had been frank and unrestrained for so many years, and the only thing he was sorry for the eldest lady was to bring the Xue family in.
"You tell me the truth, whether I was with her that night." The prime minister has always said that there is no, the eldest lady doesn't believe it, if there was no at that time, then since the Xue family entered the mansion, the prime minister has not spent the night in her room, why is there an extra Lin Zhijiao?
"I ...... I really don't remember, first, all these years have passed, and second, I was the only one who fell asleep that night, and she appeared in my bed the next morning. I didn't drink, I didn't feel anything was wrong with my body, and my clothes were still there. The prime minister already knew what the eldest lady was going to ask next, so he simply said it together.
The eldest lady glared at the prime minister again, and every time she mentioned this matter, she got angry, although the prime minister said so every time, but she just felt that something was not right.
"Madam, don't be angry, you see, I haven't stepped into the Xue family's room for so many years." The prime minister grabbed the eldest lady with one hand and patted her shoulder with the other.
"I'm not angry, if you rush in, don't say half a step, even if you have this thought, I will leave with you! Look at the good things you have done, if it weren't for them, our family would be much cleaner. The eldest lady said that she was not angry and counted down the prime minister, and the prime minister also laughed.
"Madam, don't leave and leave at every turn, how unlucky." The prime minister tightened his arms, this is the person he has liked since he was a child.
"I won't tell you, let's go on official business quickly. I'm going to send someone to watch them. The eldest lady pushed away the prime minister, tidied up her clothes, and changed from the wife who was a little bird just now to the eldest lady who can now take charge of herself.
After bringing Lin Zhijiao to Xue's courtyard, when he saw Lin Zhijiao who was brought, Xue rushed up. "Jiaojiao, how are you?"
Lin Zhijiao already knew that it was the Xue family who asked to send someone to guard the back door, so he impatiently pushed the Xue family away. "Mother, you hurt me!"
"What the hell is going on? Why you? After seeing Lin Zhijiao, Xue was not so crazy and began to calm down.
Lin Zhijiao looked at the people around her, pulled Xue Shi into the room, and told Xue Shi everything about it.
"How did you give him the money! He should not be ignored. When the Xue family heard it, it was Zhang Ze's ghost who reappeared, and he took his own money last time when he didn't get things done. It's good that she didn't go to Zhang Ze, and she dared to come back.
"I went to look for you, you were grounded, and they wouldn't let me in. So what can I do? He threatened me to shave my face if I didn't give him money. ”
"Then you will drag him first, say that you will give him money, and when you come back, you will send a few more people to follow you when you go out, and if he dares to show up, you will beat him." The Xue clan is now completely composed.
"But he also said that if I didn't give him money, he would tell him everything we did, and that my poems were not my own." Lin Zhijiao was scared because of this incident.
"How would he know? Did you tell him? Hearing Lin Zhijiao say this, the Xue family was also taken aback, how could Zhang Ze know about this?
"Of course I didn't tell him, how do I know how he knows? He threatened me so much, I didn't dare not give it, and I found two or three hundred taels after rummaging through the cabinets, and I went to dispose of the jewelry I didn't like, so I changed it for four hundred and fifty taels. Lin Zhijiao also complained that the Xue family made such a play, otherwise it would have been solved long ago.
"You gave him all the money?" When the Xue family heard that there was so much money, their hearts ached.
"I didn't give it all to him, but I gave two hundred taels yesterday." Lin Zhijiao shook her head.
"Two hundred taels is not a lot! It just so happens that we have been grounded for the past few days, and he should be able to inquire about it, and in order to get the money behind, he will not tell the matter now. "The Xue family knew that the incident had just happened, and no matter whether the prime minister was angry or not, he would not let the two of them out.
"So we're just sitting still? I'm going out to talk about poetry! Lin Zhijiao sat on the chair discouragedly, complaining about the Xue family in his heart.
"In order to protect the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the eldest lady and the prime minister will definitely block the news from outsiders You don't have to worry about this. As for going to talk about poetry, we can't go out now that we are grounded, and recently it is in the limelight, and Mama Zhang may not dare to continue stealing poetry manuscripts, just to rest for a while. "Xue's didn't plan to really be grounded for half a year, she wouldn't be allowed to go out for half a year, and she would go to the prime minister when the limelight passed in a few days.
"But what if everyone outside is waiting, what if they don't like me when I come out?" Lin Zhijiao is reluctant to stay at home, she enjoys the pursuit of outsiders more.
"Just dry them for a few days, and when you go back, they will cherish you even more." The Xue family sees it in the long term than Lin Zhijiao.
"Can it work? Not a single one? Don't say a single poem? Lin Zhijiao is always afraid of being forgotten, to put it bluntly, she is not confident in herself.
"Xinniang, when you go out after a while, they will pursue you even more, don't be afraid." Xue also knows the truth that if you see too much, you won't cherish it.
What ideas Xue and Lin Zhijiao have in mind, Lin Zhiyu doesn't care anymore, this time Lin Zhijiao is caught, then Lianhua's suspicion is gone, and he has completely gotten rid of it.
