Chapter 30: Speculation
Yan Meng looked at the powder bag on the ground a little sluggish, and raised his head in a panic, "Grandmother, Yuchen is wronged, Yuchen doesn't need to harm the fourth sister." ”
"Of course the maid listens to the master! Cruel sister, at such a young age, how can she have such a vicious heart! Zhao gritted his teeth and said, if it weren't for the fact that she couldn't break free of Yan Bocheng's shackles, it was not difficult to believe that she would definitely rush up and tear Yan Meng apart.
Feeling the restless Zhao family who had been in his arms, Yan Bocheng felt a little unhappy in his heart, although it was for his daughter, but as the head of the house, his behavior was so crazy, which was really inappropriate, but he didn't show it in the end.
Old Madam Yan's face couldn't help but change when she heard this, Zhao's words were a little more poisonous, even if it was really Yan Meng who instructed the maid to do it, in the end, Yan Meng was the young lady of Yan Mansion, if such a big hat was buckled on Yan Meng, not only would Yan Meng lose his reputation, but even Yan Mansion would have a reputation for not being able to raise children, which wiped the dignity of Yan Mansion.
Aunt Jiang watched this scene silently beside Old Madam Yan, felt Old Madam Yan's displeasure, hurriedly walked to Zhao's side, and said softly, "Madam, don't worry, don't be angry, let's wait for the old woman to find out the matter clearly, so as not to hurt the harmony by saying some angry words." ”
Zhao looked coldly at Aunt Jiang behaving in front of her, but she had to agree with what she said, and she said it without thinking about what she said just now, which was a little inappropriate. Thinking of this, he closed his mouth.
Seeing that the situation was stable, Mrs. Yan's face turned slightly pale, "Since you said that she was wronged, how did this bag of powder be found in your yard?" Mother Zhang..."
"This is what the slave maid searched out in the side room of Youlan Courtyard, which is the residence of the big maid next to Miss Fifth to listen to the lotus and the rain and dust." Zhang's mother said in a deep voice.
"How to explain it?"
"Old lady, the slave maid doesn't know why she is in the slave's room, the slave maid has never seen this thing..."Yuchen hurriedly explained.
"Then you say, as Miss Five's personal maid, Miss Five went to the princess's mansion with me today, and it stands to reason that you should stay in the mansion, why did you go to Xiangzezhai?"
"Slave... Slave maid..."I knew that there was such a thing and she would not have begged Mrs. Fang to take her away, she was just playful, thinking that the girl and Tinghe went to the princess's mansion, she was too bored to be alone in Youlan Courtyard, fortunately she was close to the kitchen on weekdays, so she begged Mrs. Fang to take her and Juanhong to Xiangze Zhai together...
Juanhong! By the way, the bowl of soup was brought by her on behalf of Juanhong, she sneaked out and walked around the street for a while, afraid that she would miss the hour and not be able to go back, so she went back early, and happened to meet Juanhong who was uncomfortable, so she helped bring the bowl of meat soup, but Juanhong's demeanor just now did not look like pretending!
"Say!" Old Madam Yan said with a sinking face.
"It's... It was the slave who snuck out of the house... Mid-Autumn Festival, slaves and maids are curious... and went out..."She can't tell Mrs. Fang about taking her out, otherwise it will be Mrs. Fang who is unlucky!"
"Then why did you come to Xiangzezhai?"
"Slave... The slave maid heard that Xiang Zezhai's pastries were delicious for a long time, so she wanted to buy some moon cakes and come back..."In a panic, Yuchen thought that "After meeting the people of Yan Mansion in Xiang Ze Zhai, I knew that the people of Yan Mansion were here for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I wanted to go back to the house with the people of Yan Mansion, so the slave and maid stayed in Xiang Ze Zhai and helped the kitchen to help the people in the kitchen, so that the hot meat soup was served." Feeling that he was not badly round, Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief for a while.
"You're lying!" A shrill voice was heard from the crowd.
"Who's talking?"
Yuan Huan stepped forward, knelt on the ground and saluted the old lady, "Old lady, slave Yuan Huan, slave said that Yuchen lied!" ”
"Oh? You said. ”
Yuan Huan smiled proudly at Yuchen behind everyone's back, turned around with a solemn face, and said loudly: "Yuchen didn't sneak out of the house, but bought the mother-in-law in the kitchen and took her out!" ”
"How do you know?"
"The slave heard it with her own ears!"
"Bring Mrs. Fang here!"
But after a while, Mrs. Fang came in, Mrs. Fang bought a woman in a kitchen, how could she have seen such a battle on weekdays, as soon as she entered the house, her legs and stomach trembled, and she knelt on the ground with weak legs without taking two steps.
"Mrs. Fang, do you know why Yuchen appears in Xiangzezhai?" Old Madam Yan asked sharply.
"Slave... Slave maid...."Fang Pozi's eyes swirled in her sockets, she had expected that Yuchen would find her if something happened, but she didn't expect it so soon, I don't know if Yuchen gave her out, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yuchen lying on the ground covered with injuries, her heart was cold, and she raised her eyes to see Mrs. Yan looking at herself with a fierce face, and she trembled, "Yes.... It was the slave maid who brought the rain and dust..."
Yuchen looked at Yuan Huan, who couldn't hide his smugness on his face, and forcibly held back the disgust in his heart, "Old lady, it's not what Yuan Huan said." I didn't buy Mrs. Fang! ”
"Why not, old lady, the slave maid not only heard that Yuchen bought Fang Pozi to go to Xiangze Zhai, but also often heard her secretly arranging Miss Four, and she couldn't get used to Miss Four's words many times, saying that sooner or later one day Miss Four would look good!" Yuan Huan's back was straight, and he said to Old Madam Yan.
"You're spewing blood!" Yuchen wanted to pounce over, but he pulled the wound because of his excessive movements, and curled up on the ground in pain for a while.
"Old lady, you can't believe Yuan Huan's words!" Listening to Hechao kneeling two steps in the direction of Old Madam Yan, his face was full of seriousness, "Old Madam, Yuan Huan had a lot of trouble with the rain and dust a few days ago, and Yuan Huan's words can't be believed!" ”
"My Yuan Huan has always had a clear distinction between public and private, even if Yuchen looks at me everywhere, but that's the fourth lady, how dare Yuchen?" Yuan Huan's words can be described as every word, and every word condemns Yuchen to death!
"I didn't..."Yuchen knew that he couldn't argue, and seeing Zhao's cruel eyes, Yuchen had already predicted that he was in a catastrophe...
"But old lady, don't you wonder why Yuchen, a maid, would be so prejudiced against the fourth lady?" Yuan Huan's voice was bewitching, squinting at the rain and dust like a chrysalis lying on the ground, and Yan Meng was silent on the side. The eyes are blazing and close to madness, the master and servant are all the way, it's not that they can't get used to her Yuan Huan, today is the death date of the two of you!
Yuchen had already guessed what Yuan Huan was going to say next, and wanted to get up and struggle to tear Yuan Huan's mouth, she couldn't let the girl be implicated again! But as soon as he looked up, he looked at Shang Yan Meng's eyes that were as calm as a secluded well, the pupils were black and heavy, and there was some fatal attraction, once he fell in, he couldn't get out... The rain and dust were endured by Yan Meng and stopped making a sound. It seems that the girl has a way in her heart, and her heart is a little calm, and she can hear Yuan Huan's voice over there.
"Miss Fifth has a grudge against Miss Fourth for a long time! It was Miss Five who instructed the rain and dust to kill Miss Four! In order to avenge the rejection of Miss Four for so many years. Yuan Huan's voice was like thunder, making everyone unable to return to their senses for a long time.
There is a secret that everyone knows in the world of Yanfu, that is, Yan Jingyuan, the fourth lady of Yanfu, looks down on Yan Meng, the fifth lady, whether behind her back or in the open, it is common to be sarcastic, but this is just a legend among the people, few people say it on the bright side, many people looked at Yuan Huan in surprise, when they saw her bright eyes, they couldn't help but shake their heads, it's a pity...
"Yuan Huan!" From the outside came a woman of about forty, dressed in blue coarse cloth, with her hair wrapped in a bun of ginger cloth, a silver hairpin shining at the top, two thin green eyebrows hanging lonely on her face, and her mouth painted with an unsuitable red to make her face unusually white.
The woman panted and walked to Yuan Huan's side, knelt down in fear and confessed to Old Madam Yan, "Yuan Huan is young, she has loved nonsense since she was a child, she didn't mean that, and please don't take it to heart!" She walked to Mrs. Yan and brought a pungent fragrance, which caused Mrs. Yan's eyebrows to frown slightly, and even the maid beside the old lady couldn't help but take a few steps back, I was afraid that she would be infected by the pungent fragrance.
"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense!" Yuan Huan pouted and was a little dissatisfied, why didn't her mother help her talk when she came, and she dismantled her stage when she came up, she didn't know how they bullied her a few days ago!
"Shut up!" The woman hurriedly pulled Yuan Huan and roared over. The woman who was called the mother by Yuan Huan is Ma Pozi, Ma Pozi is the sweeping woman in the backyard of Rong Kangtang, the rough maid in charge of Rong Kangtang, in fact, she is not from a good background, it turns out that she is just a rough maid of Yan Mansion, she is stupid, not as good as the maids who are with her because they know some poetry and books, and their sweet mouths go to the master's side to wait, she has survived for half her life, but she is still a mother-in-law of Rong Kangtang, but she is married well, although she is dull, but she is also stable and reliable, and now she is walking around in the front yard, and she is deeply favored by the masters. Even if she only gave birth to a daughter for him, he didn't complain, and the monthly money he earned on weekdays was spent on her and her daughter, but the couple only gave birth to a daughter, Yuan Huan, so they raised their daughter a little arrogantly.
Today, she heard someone in Rongkang Hall say that Yuan Huan said that Miss was not in Qingyun Courtyard, so she felt a little cold in her heart, for fear that Yuan Huan would make the masters unhappy if she said something, so she hurriedly ran over. If something happens to Yuan Huan, how will she live for the rest of her life!
Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard Yuan Huan's unobstructed arrangement of the relationship between Miss Fourth and Miss Five, and she was so frightened that her soul was almost gone, afraid that Yuan Huan would say something unpleasant and ruin herself, Ma Pozi even forgot the rules of the master, and rushed straight into the house without anyone to report, and now it is wet and cold behind her.
Old Madam Yan squinted at the mother and daughter in front of her, Ma Pozi knew that Yuan Huan had also explained to her at the beginning, at that time, she only felt that Yan Meng was just a child, so she didn't have to bother to pick one who was too shrewd, but she didn't expect to pick such a stupid one!
"Talking about the master, the following offenses, come to someone, pull Yuan Huan out, and beat twenty sticks!"
Yuan Huan was stunned in place, and he didn't react for a while when he heard this result. It was Ma Pozi who cried out with a "wow-" cry, tears washed the incense powder on her face, and she opened her mouth and shouted: "Old lady, you have a lot, spare Yuan Huan, she is unintentional, your twenty sticks are killing her!" ”
Mrs. Yan was stung by Ma Pozi's sharp voice and had a headache, but she felt very noisy, and she waved her hand without saying anything, and motioned for people to drag the mother and daughter down.
