Chapter 7: The Truth
Yan Meng didn't pay attention to it, causing Qingli to look up at Yan Meng suspiciously, and felt cold all over her body at a glance. What kind of eyes is that, Qingli only feels as if she has fallen into an ice cave, as if her every move has been thoroughly analyzed, and all her thoughts are exposed in front of this person, and she is just an ant.
Yan Meng got the gesture he wanted, and took the thing over, it was a trick. laughed at his own style in his heart, although he hated those styles in the palace in his previous life, but he was very handy at doing it.
Yan Meng opened the bag and took out a paper bag and a longevity lock, the longevity lock was decorated with a piece of thumb-sized jade in the middle, carefully looked at it by the moonlight, the longevity lock and the jade were hollow, the jade and the longevity lock saw a delicate gold wire around the small buckle, Yan Mengyi opened the longevity lock with all his strength, and there was a brown medicine block stuck in it.
Yan Meng had also been in the palace in his previous life, and he knew some vicious methods. The small gold wire buckle is not noticed by ordinary people only think that the workmanship is exquisite, and it is used by craftsmen to fix the jade, but for children who love to fiddle with gadgets, it was opened on the day of the baoqi... Even if it is not opened, it will damage the foundation every day, and even if you live for a long time, it will be difficult to survive in the world for a long time.
Yan Meng opened the paper bag.
"Curcuma?" It is a medicine for women's body, and it is not uncommon.
Qingli watched Yan Meng open the longevity lock after a few fiddling sessions, and was a little stunned.
"It's curcuma." Then he pointed to the brownish lump and said, "This is made by pressing the powder of aconite." After a pause, he said, "The longevity lock was given by the eldest lady when the sixth young master was one year old." ”
Yan Meng guessed the purpose of this longevity lock, and was a little surprised, the eldest lady was so bold, and she was not afraid to find out if she did it in a grand manner. No, the Zhao family has always given people the image of being virtuous and virtuous and well-governed, and in the previous life, after coming out of the Buddhist hall, he also felt deeply guilty for framing the eldest lady because he didn't know people clearly, and he was grateful to the Zhao family for giving him such a good family affair when he was left alone in the third room, if it wasn't for the cause of his brother's death later, he was still grateful to the Zhao family.
And Aunt Su has always been coquettish and brutal, and if the incident happens, she will think that Aunt Su is pampered and arrogant, and murder the housemother... Besides, with Mrs. Yan here, it can only be Aunt Su's fault.
"How did Aunt Su know that this lock was delicate? What did you mean by what you said last night, 'Aunt Su worked hard to give birth to her sixth brother'? ”
Qingli motioned to Yan Meng to look at the curcuma in his hand.
"Aunt Su has been in the Yan Mansion since the menstrual period is not adjusted, the eldest lady asked someone to take care of it all the time, but after a long time, it is not good, Aunt Su was suspicious, and later found that the aunt's prescription is no problem, but every time the medicine is pungent and pungent taste, I checked the medicine residue only to find that the medicine has a sufficient amount of curcuma, although curcuma has a conditioning effect on the woman's body, but the medicine is cold, and it is difficult to take it for a long time. It's hard to conceive" said that Qingli couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but seeing Yan Meng, she didn't seem to feel it, and continued, "Aunt Su took care of the old lady of the Su family when she was a girl, and she knew some medicinal properties, so she saw through the key and stopped the medicine, but she no longer trusted the eldest lady as much as before. ”
"Later, Aunt Su became pregnant with the sixth young master, and she was worried every day, but the eldest lady didn't do anything, so she relaxed her vigilance, after all, the sixth young master also wanted to ask the eldest lady to call 'mother'."
Qingli paused, her eyes flashed slightly, and she pinched her cuffs, "Until the day of the sixth young master's first birthday, Aunt Jiang came to congratulate her, saw the longevity lock on the neck of the sixth young master, and inadvertently said that the eldest lady had also given the sixth young master a piece." The second young master died early, and Aunt Su became suspicious and knew the key to this longevity lock. This is a long-life lock, it is clearly a 'life-killing lock'! Speaking of this, Qingli couldn't help but be a little excited.
Aunt Su put the lock away, lying that the sixth young master was naughty and lost the lock. But how could the eldest lady be willing, so she proposed to raise the sixth young master, Aunt Su was eager to protect her son, but she didn't dare to act rashly, until the sixth young master had an accident, fortunately, the fifth young lady passed by and saved the sixth young master, otherwise the sixth young master is afraid that he will be the same as Aunt Su, and become an outlaw! Qingli looked at Yan Meng with gratitude in her eyes.
"Sister slave... Dan Qing beside the eldest lady actually said that it was my sister who led the sixth young master away, and the old lady was furious and beat my sister with fifty sticks, and my sister just... It's gone... The slave and the sister have both parents died since childhood, if it weren't for the sister, there would be no slave today, but the slave and the maid were framed to death, but the slave and the maid couldn't do anything... Let my sister just disappear in vain..."After speaking, Qingli was already in tears.
"The slave knows that the fifth miss is capable, and the slave begs the fifth lady to help the slave! The slave is willing to go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pot for the fifth lady! Sister slave can't just die in vain! Qingli knelt down, kowtowed to Yan Meng, and never got up again.
Yan Meng looked at Qingli who was kneeling on the ground and thought of himself in his previous life, Qingli still knew that her sister died in vain to avenge her sister, and she recognized her enemies as friends, and let her brother be ruined and died tragically in prison, and she still bears such infamy after her death.
After carefully combing through Qingli's words just now, Yan Meng said in a low voice: "Aunt Jiang... and the one who has lost his child...".
"What?" Qingli was a little puzzled and didn't know what Yan Meng wanted to express.
Just now, Qingli said that Aunt Jiang inadvertently made Aunt Su notice that there was a problem with the longevity lock, Aunt Jiang...
"I'll help you, but you'll have to do what I tell you to do."
Yan Meng pulled Qingli up and whispered something in his ear.
As the moonlight moves upwards, the night will be dark
"Girl, it's been a long time since the watch, we should go back." Tinghe and Yuchen were guarding beside him, and Tinghe saw that it was getting late, and if he didn't go back, he was afraid of making people suspicious.
"I know," Yan Meng replied, turning around and handing the bag to Qingli, "Remember, if you want to avenge your sister, do as I say." Also, we have never met, and if anything happens, I'll let you know, don't look for me. He turned and left.
Yan Meng and his entourage were about to arrive at the door, and saw a figure passing by from a distance at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Who's where?" Yuchen asked at the exit, but there was no one.
"Girl..."Listening to He, he looked at Yan Meng and wanted to say something.
The figure Yan Meng also saw it, but he didn't look away. Could it be that Yan Bocheng's person? But Du's mother has ordered Uncle Fu not to investigate again, is he not at ease, or is there someone else?
Yan Meng didn't know when he became so hot, and everyone had to test it.
"When you go back later..."Yan Meng listened to what he said, and the three of them went back to the house.
At night, Yan Meng lay on the bed and thought about explaining the matter of Qingli today, Yan Meng did not suspect that Qingli had other intentions, and in his previous life, Yan Meng also suspected that Qingli was deliberately sent to use her as an enemy after entering the Buddhist hall, and sent someone to investigate Qingli when he came out of the Buddhist hall, but he never found it again, and the eldest lady planned her family affairs with her heart, and she only felt that she owed the eldest lady very much, and never mentioned this matter again.
Yesterday, when I saw Qingli again, Yan Meng had been observing her words and deeds, and then she was relieved. Now that I think about my previous life, I inadvertently told the truth that I learned through a maid, how could Mrs. Yan leave a little maid who knew the secrets of Yan's mansion in the world? Only the dead will keep secrets forever.
Early the next morning, because it was a vacation day, the morning province was avoided, and Yan Meng did not get up early, and Tinghe also felt sorry for Yan Meng and did not call her day and night, but as soon as she opened the courtyard door, she saw Song's mother holding a box and standing outside with a burden on her back, as if she had been waiting for a long time, and she was a little surprised
"Mother Song, why are you here so early..."
"The old lady is exempted from morning saving on vacation today, but the old lady remembers the body of the fifth lady and asks the old slave to send some to make up for her body." Mother Song gestured to Tinghe for the red lacquered wood box in her hand, opened it and placed a deer antler inside, lying quietly on the fabric.
Hearing He, he hurriedly welcomed Song's mother into the courtyard, "This time, the fifth miss is still not awake, and the slave maid is the first young lady Xie Lao Madam is worried, mother, please..."
The door creaked open, and Tinghe entered the house lightly with water.
"Girl, it's halfway through the hour, it's time to get up early." Tinghe prepared his washing things and walked to the couch and called softly.
Yan Meng thought about the events of her previous life last night, and fell asleep very late, because she hadn't woken up yet when she heard the lotus today. Yan Meng sat up and took the handkerchief handed by Tinghe and wiped his face, and his eyes returned to clarity in a few moments.
"Who just came?" Half-asleep and half-awake, she heard that someone seemed to be talking outside, but she couldn't resist the sleepiness and continued to sleep.
"Mother Song is here to deliver tonics."
"Oh."
"Girl... Won't Du's mother come back? Tinghe lowered his voice and was a little hoarse.
Yan Meng looked at Tinghe through the dressing mirror, Tinghe lowered his head, and couldn't see the look on his face clearly.
Tinghe didn't get Yan Meng's reply, and said to herself: "The old lady asked Mother Song to wait for Miss, and Yuchen is talking to Mother Song at this time..."
Old Madam Yan sent someone over at this time...
"Girl, do you think it will..."The old lady knew that Mother Du was missing, and Tinghe looked at Yan Meng with worry in her eyes.
"Yes." Yan Meng looked at his own image in the mirror meaninglessly. Du's mother took a month's leave, and now there are about three or four days, Du's mother didn't send anyone when she just left, if she wasn't sure that Du's mother would not come back, how could she send someone in. Did Yan Bocheng tell her the reason?
"Who was last night?"
Hearing He's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then recalled, "At night, the slaves and maids went to see their shoes, and the soles of Yuan Xing and Yuan Huan's shoes were muddy. "Yuan Xing and Yuan Huan are the two second-class maids in Yan Meng's courtyard, and they don't wait close on weekdays.
Yesterday was also a coincidence, in the afternoon, Yan Meng saw that the flowers at the gate of the courtyard were about to die, so he ordered someone to water some water, because the flower beds outside the courtyard were a little muddy. Last night, I saw that person outside the courtyard, slightly smaller, and so dexterous, if it was a person in the courtyard, it should also be a little maid.
"Yesterday was the night of the Yuan Star." Tinghe thought for a while, "The slave maid remembers that Yuan Huan is the son of the Yan Mansion, and his mother's surname is Ma, and she is a person next to the old lady." ”
"yes, got it." It is not new for people to have Old Lady Yan in various houses. Mrs. Yan sent someone to come this time, probably because she went to the garden in the evening of the past two days to arouse her suspicions, so she sent Mother Song.
"Girl, it's all right." Tinghe put down the comb in his hand and pulled Yan Meng's hair again, Yan Meng's hair grew extremely well, black and smooth, bright, like satin.
"Okay, let Mother Song come in."
"Yes."
