50. Ask your mother to hang herself from a beam
The sound of rain can really help you sleep.
Ruan Qingzhi slept extremely peacefully this night, until a scream woke up the entire Xiangfu.
It's still dark outside the window.
"So early?" Ruan Qingzhi got up with a grunt, quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed and ran out.
The two little girls with Yun and Yue ran out while tying their clothes, and they were shocked: "Where is the voice?" What's wrong? Did any robbers come in? ”
"I heard what seemed to be Aunt Liu's voice," Ruan Qingzhi looked frightened, "Let's go and see, in case something happens......"
The three of them helped each other and hurriedly ran out, and Ye Han soon chased after him and followed without saying a word, with a hint of a smile hidden at the corner of his lips that was not covered by the mask.
When I left Xifang Garden, I saw maids and women running around everywhere, and when I gathered together, I realized that the sound came from Jin's Chunxi Temple.
So a large group of people hulala poured into the Chunxi Courtyard, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw the maid kneeling in the courtyard, and even the Liu family was kneeling on the steps, and there was no sound inside.
"What's going on?" Ruan Qingzhi pulled a mother-in-law and asked in a low voice.
When the woman saw that it was her, she hesitated and whispered, "Miss, go back quickly, this is not what you should see!" ”
Ruan Qingzhi hadn't spoken yet, and the children of Ruan Hongyu, Ruan Suying, Ruan Jiao, and Ruan Hao came behind.
The sisters and brothers didn't have time to chat when they saw the ceremony, and they saw Ruan Biyun dressed neatly, and they hurried over with two mothers-in-law and two maids.
Seeing Ruan Qingzhi here, Ruan Biyun was stunned, and her face was a little stiff: "Sister, why did you come so far away?" Didn't comb your hair? ”
Ruan Qingzhi said with a sad face: "I haven't slept enough!" The shouting here woke me up, so I came out to take a look. How...... I heard Aunt Liu's voice shouting, why is the matter on my mother's side? ”
Ruan Bijun couldn't answer this question either. At that moment, she didn't care about talking to Ruan Qingzhi anymore, and hurriedly ran inward holding Luan Yin's hand.
Ruan Qingzhi naturally refused to lag behind, and when she saw this, she took Ruan Hongyu by the hand, and the four children of different heights immediately surrounded her tacitly, and followed Ruan Biyun with her.
As soon as he stepped up the steps, he heard a loud noise in the room, and then Kim's voice cried out violently.
The children were frightened and cowered to go any further.
Ruan Hongyu leaned over to Liu's side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Why are you here? ”
When Liu heard her voice, he immediately became anxious: "Who asked you to come?" Go back! It's not something you can do! ”
"There's nothing lively I can't make!" Ruan Hongyu snorted coldly, "If you don't say it, I'll go see it myself!" ”
After that, she really didn't pay attention to Liu, and she dodged the mother-in-law who was blocking the way and rushed straight in, and then immediately let out a piercing scream that was not inferior to her aunt: "Oh my God, Mrs. Jin-"
Ruan Bijun was frightened by this voice, and before she could think about it, she crashed into the door.
Of course, such an opportunity cannot be missed. Ruan Qingzhi pretended to be unsteady on his feet, stumbled and fell in, hiding himself tightly behind his two younger sisters, and only showed a pair of eyes to secretly look at people.
I saw Ruan Wenzhong holding the candlestick, his face was pale, he was panting, Jin was kneeling on the ground with his thighs in his arms, crying hoarsely, and there was a man lying on the ground not far away, motionless and didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Ruan Hongyu slowly put down the hand covering her mouth and exclaimed, "Mrs. Jin is so amazing! Honest thief man......"
Before he finished speaking, the candlestick in Ruan Wenzhong's hand had already flown over: "Evil animal! Get out! ”
Ruan Biyun hurriedly avoided to the side.
Ruan Hongyu was so frightened that she stood still and didn't move. Ruan Qingzhi had no choice but to hug her from behind and turn around.
The candlestick fell to the ground with a piercing sound.
Ruan Wenzhong became more and more angry, kicked the Jin family away, and rushed straight towards Ruan Qingzhi: "It's you? Beasts, get out! ”
At this time, Ruan Hongyu had already woken up and slipped out. Ruan Qingzhi stood alone by the door, terrified: "Father spares his life!" My daughter won't say it, she really won't say it! ”
Ruan Wenzhong stretched out his hand and grabbed her, but when he looked up, he saw a large number of people standing or kneeling in the courtyard, and almost the whole house was here.
Several women standing at the bottom of the stairs were looking at him with pity.
Ruan Wenzhong was suddenly deflated, and he didn't have the psychology to meet Ruan Qingzhi anymore, his eyes were round and he still looked at the Jin family: "So many people have seen it with their own eyes, what else do you have to say!" ”
"Master," Jin cried breathlessly, "The concubine is wronged!" The concubine doesn't know anything! It's clearly the ...... of the mourning star."
Ruan Wenzhong looked at Ruan Qingzhi again, and the latter immediately shook his head and wept: "What does my father think of me?" What does this have to do with me...... Could it be that I will not only poison myself, but also become a man......"
"Father," Ruan Biyun stepped forward with a fixed mind, "Mother must be frightened and confused to talk nonsense." This matter is a little strange, please ask my father to judge this thief strictly. ”
Seeing her open her mouth to persuade her, Ruan Wenzhong became calmer, and after thinking about it, he called someone in and woke up the man.
As soon as Lao Feng opened his eyes and saw Ruan Wenzhong's face, he was immediately so frightened that he cried and kowtowed, and shouted "spare your life".
Ruan Wenzhong drank him and asked sharply: "What's the matter, say!" ”
Before Lao Feng could speak, Jin had already screamed and pounced, desperately grabbing his face: "Waste! I'll kill you useless thing......"
"That's not right!" Liu Shi outside the door muttered softly.
Ruan Biyun hurriedly rushed up and grabbed Jin's wrist, and shouted coldly: "Mother, what are you doing? You just tell the truth, your father will make the decision for you, what's the use of you beating people! ”
Jin was frightened by her, shuddered, and still glared at Lao Feng viciously.
The latter was even more frightened when he saw this, and heard Ruan Wenzhong's gloomy voice in his ears again: "Say, are you afraid of yourself, or did this slut call you?" ”
"Yes, yes, madam......" Lao Feng hesitated, and subconsciously looked up at Ruan Biyun.
The latter looked sharp: "Tell the truth! ”
Lao Feng hesitated, and then secretly glanced at the door. I saw that the night cold was blocked at the door, and I couldn't see my face under the mask, but my eyes were dark and terrifying.
"It's a villain...... The villain is fascinated by the ghost...... "Lao Feng cried mournfully and collapsed to the ground.
"Father," Ruan Biyun stepped forward, "Mother has been careful about her duties for many years, you know. Now that it is an eventful time, no matter how confused my mother is, she will not be so presumptuous. Please let my father be angry, and don't hurt the relationship between husband and wife for many years for a slave. ”
Ruan Wenzhong stared at the Jin family for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying hatefully: "Useless things!" Fu'er, drag this dog thief out and kill him! No one is allowed to talk about today's events! ”
The little guys outside the door hurriedly agreed and rushed in, but Lao Feng was dragged up by them and shouted a few "wronged" but no one paid attention. Jin's, Ruan Biyun, and Ye Han stared at him with threatening eyes at the same time, even if he had a stomach full of wrongs, he could only swallow it back honestly at this time.
And if you tell the truth, I'm afraid you'll die even worse.
It is really nothing for a family like Xiangfu to kill a slave of a dead contract, and no one dissuaded a large number of people inside and outside the house. The crowd just remained silent, listening to the cries outside getting weaker and weaker, and finally fell silent.
After calming down, Ruan Biyun stepped forward and patted Ruan Wenzhong on the back: "Father, the matter has been resolved, and you can't be angry about it." The time of the dynasty is coming, let the girl serve you to freshen up and change clothes. ”
Ruan Wenzhong stood up silently, walked to the courtyard and looked around at everyone, and finally fixed his eyes on Ruan Qingzhi: "Today's matter ......"
Ruan Hongyu hurriedly said loudly: "Father, don't worry, we won't say a word!" ”
The child's promise is the most untrustworthy. Ruan Wenzhong ignored her, his face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth and said, "This matter is over here, don't talk about it!" ”
Liu Shi hurriedly pressed Ruan Hongyu, who still wanted to speak, and promised again and again: "Don't worry, master, the concubine will definitely help Sister Jin take care of everyone's mouths, and she won't say a word!" ”
"You," Ruan Van Chung looked at her coldly, "what are you doing when you come to Chun Xi Courtyard before dawn?" ”
Liu Shi trembled with fright, and hurriedly said: "It's not that the concubine herself wants to come, it's that Sister Jin sent a girl to tell me last night that she had something to discuss with me early this morning, and it was about marrying a new lady in the mansion...... The concubine was worried about this matter in her body and mind, and she didn't sleep well all night, and when she heard that the rain had stopped, she came......"
She was telling the truth. Ruan Wenzhong also knew that these wives and concubines must have muttered something about the new lady, so he didn't ask any more questions at the moment, and hurriedly left with a flick of his robe sleeves.
After watching a good show, the slaves in the courtyard naturally dispersed in a hurry. A few children didn't quite understand what was going on, so they asked the mother-in-law in a mess, and they were disgruntled and left after being taught a lesson by the adults.
Ruan Qingzhi felt that this farce was not as interesting as expected, so she yawned and nodded to Ruan Biyun, and turned around to go back to Xifangyuan.
There were only Ruan Biyun's mother and daughter and a few henchmen left in Chunxi Courtyard, and the sudden silence made everyone a little at a loss.
"Go down, all of you." Ruan Biyun waved her hand.
The slaves and maids were ordered to withdraw, and closed the door by the way.
Jin immediately pounced on Ruan Biyun and asked sharply, "Why don't you let me say it?" The thief clearly got me from the little slut, why don't you say it? I'm so ugly, are you going to just let her go! ”
"What do you want to say?" Ruan Biyun looked at her mockingly, "Say that you hurt others and hurt yourself, and she treated others in the same way?" ”
Kim couldn't answer.
Ruan Biyun's expression softened a little, bent down to help her get up and sit down, and sighed: "Mother, you are unwilling, am I willing to let her go?" I also want to tear off her face and reveal her true colors, but I can't say anything about it! Now everyone in the house knows that you are innocent victims, even if you lose face, it is limited, and your father will not really dislike you; But what if you say it? It's true that her father will punish her severely, but what about us? If we shoot ourselves in the foot, it will become a bigger joke, and my father will hate us at the same time! Mother, we can't do anything to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred! ”
Jin listened to her words in a daze, and muttered for a long time: "Then let her go like this?" I've suffered such a big loss! You may never want to see me again! ”
"Father wouldn't be so ruthless." Ruan Bijun said calmly.
"Of course he will!" Kim stood up irritably, one foot limping slightly on the ground and circling: "I've been following him for almost twenty years!" I know all too well what kind of person he is! I am already old, my face is ruined, my legs are lame, I disgrace him outside and disgrace him at home, how can he still care for me! If he doesn't strangle me with his own hands, he will already be considered to have saved face! ”
Ruan Qingzhi sat on the soft couch and looked at her quietly, and did not get up to comfort her.
Jin Shi turned around for a while, and then sat back again: "Yun'er, I'm not trying to compete for favor for myself!" I'm so old, it doesn't matter if I'm spoiled or not, but I can't help but think about you and Hao'er! My status in this house is not as good as before, how can I help you in the future? Your future, Hao'er's future...... You tell me what should I do? ”
"Mother, in fact, you can still help me." Ruan Biyun suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, her face was sweet and gentle.
Jin was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: "How to help?" You said! As long as I can help you and your brother, I can take my life! ”
"Then," Ruan Biyun stood up with a smile, "just ask your mother to hang herself by hanging herself." ”
"What did you say?!" Kim was shocked.
Ruan Biyun looked up at the beam and smiled sweetly: "Mother, this is our only way out." Although my father said that today's events should not be passed on, you and I both know that it will definitely be spread. Therefore, in the future, not only will you lose your face, but even my reputation will be affected. This game can only be broken if you die. ”
Kim clenched the corners of the table with both hands, trembling all over.
Ruan Biyun turned her face and looked at her seriously: "If you die, you will live up to the name of 'strong', and the people of the world will surely praise and praise her." In this way, all the faces that I lost twice before can be recovered, and I don't have to be as shameless as I am now. ”
Kim sat stunned for a long time. Seeing that the sky outside the window screen was gradually brightening, she suddenly smiled "ha": "Okay! Good daughter...... What a good daughter I raised! ”
Ruan Biyun still smiled softly and gently: "It's all taught well by my mother." ”
The pale smile on Jin's face suddenly froze, and his eyes turned round: "You have been expecting me to die for a long time, right?" I entered the Jingzhao Yamen, and you didn't plan to let me out alive, did you? You keep saying that King Rui has taken care of you...... If he had taken care of me, how could I have suffered so much! You...... You have been cold-hearted since you were a child, you only think about yourself climbing up the high branches, and you don't care about my mother's life or death, don't you! ”
Ruan Bijun has lived for fourteen years in this life, and this is the first time that the Kim family has spoken harshly to her. She was not in a hurry or angry, and replied calmly: "The cold heart and cold lungs are also taught by my mother, and the heartless and liver are also taught by my mother." Your daughter has grown up to be what you have always hoped she would be, and your mother should be pleased. ”
Kim looked up at her, speechless with anger.
Ruan Biyun flicked her sleeves and walked over, her good-looking apricot eyes narrowed: "My daughter only does things for herself, why isn't my mother just for herself?" When the accident happened, you knew in your heart that only dying in Jingzhao Yamen was the best result, but did you ever think about death? You don't! You've come through it and you've come back! Have you ever thought that Hao'er and I would become a joke in Jeonshangjing? ”
"You, sure enough, have been looking forward to my death ever since." Kim gritted his teeth and concluded.
Ruan Biyun shook her head: "No, it's okay for you to come back alive." At that time, as long as you are willing to obediently take and leave the book and get out of the house, Hao'er and I will still be the children of the house, which is still the sincerity of the mother's plan for her children. But how do you do it? Aren't you crying, despairing, fainting, just to force me to come out and intercede with you? I came out, I said let you be a flat wife, and you will accept it calmly! Do you know that this move will leave me and Hao'er in the mansion without a place to be? Have you ever felt sorry for your children in the embarrassing situation of not being a grandchild? You don't! You only think about your own fine clothes, jade food, glory and wealth, where can you care about the future of your children! ”
The sweet and gentle voice was slowly sent into his ears, and Jin listened in a daze, only to feel that the square inch was getting cold little by little.
This daughter, who has made her proud for more than ten years, is still delicate and lovely, but she suddenly feels that this impeccable little face is so strange that it makes her afraid.
In the past ten years, Kim has not dared to say that he is a good person, but he has a clear conscience as a mother.
Who would have thought that the person who accused her and persuaded her to die at this moment was precisely her favorite daughter!
"Yun'er," she said hoarsely, with difficulty, "I didn't know you would think that...... I do everything for you. You and Hao'er are still young, and they can't live without their mothers. ”
Ruan Biyun lowered her eyelids and sighed softly: "If my mother is really for my good, then please go on the road immediately." ”
"You!" Kim looked at her in disbelief, "Do you really want me to die?" ”
"Of course." Ruan Biyun clapped her hands and called Ah Bao and Ah Hu in, her expression was still flat: "Since my mother does everything for me, why can't you use your life to pave a broad road for me?" ”
Kim slid off his chair in horror and staggered to his feet to run: "You can't kill me...... Killing parents, heaven and earth do not tolerate! God can see it! ”
Ruan Bijun turned around and sat down elegantly: "God can indeed see it." So don't worry, mother, your merits will not be buried, and God will let you have a good birth in your next life. - A leopard and a tiger, send your mother on the road! ”
Jin crawled to the door on the ground and fled, trembling and unable to stand up, he could only curse with a straight throat: "Rebel girl, you will be retribution......"
Ah Hu caught her back without much effort, grabbed the shawl on her arm and wrapped it around her neck, and easily dragged it under the beam of the house and hung it.
There was a clicking sound in Kim's throat, his feet were dangling in the air, and the whole person was spinning around in mid-air, the scene was very strange and terrifying.
Ruan Biyun sat on the soft couch and watched quietly, her expression unchanged.
It wasn't until Kim's hands that grabbed the shawl fell down and his feet were almost completely motionless, that Ah Leopard grabbed a square stool and placed it horizontally not far from her feet.
Ruan Biyun slowly stood up and saluted in the direction of the Jin family: "Mother is good to go, and the daughter will be as you wish." Your one-product is honored, and I will get it back for you sooner or later. ”
After that, she lifted the corner of her skirt and turned around and left without looking up at the beam.
The morning light was already shining outside the door.
The bright sunlight stung his eyes without warning, Ruan Biyun hurriedly raised her hand to cover it, and after a while, she shook her sleeves with hatred, and finally showed a little anger on her face.
The two little girls from the Spring Courtyard hurriedly ran over from a distance. Ruan Biyun's expression quickly returned to normal, and smiled at the two of them: "Mother said that you want to sleep for a while, it doesn't hurt for you to go and rest first." ”
The little girl respectfully agreed, and Ruan Biyun held Luan Yin's hand and walked out slowly, asking casually, "How are those people in the house?" ”
"Everyone has gone back," Luan Yin's voice was as indifferent as hers, "and no one dares to talk about anything." Only the old lady and Aunt Chu did not come over in the mansion, and there was nothing abnormal in Xifangyuan, saying that she would go back to make up for sleep and leave. ”
"She," Ruan Bijun glanced up in the direction of Xifangyuan, "...... It's getting better and better. ”
Luan Yin bowed his head and agreed: "It's very powerful, not only can it draw, detoxify, and buy people's hearts, but even its temperament has changed a lot." ”
Ruan Biyun paused slightly: "Do you also think her temperament has changed?" ”
……
At this moment, Ruan Qingzhi, who "has changed her temperament", has just sent away Jumozhai's maid and is napping on the soft couch.
With the moon screaming and jumping in front of the window, she was crazy: "A painting is five thousand taels!" It's not fifty taels, it's not five hundred taels, it's five thousand taels! Miss, we're going to get rich! ”
"Look at how you haven't seen the world!" Ruan Qingzhi pursed his lips to express disdain, but the corners of his lips were also high.
In the past, she was not rare in money, and she didn't think it would be good to sell a painting for hundreds of thousands of taels; I didn't expect to live a poor life in this life, and the meaning of this pricing is completely different.
Indeed, you are going to get rich!
Ruan Qingzhi was in a good mood, and the unhappiness of being forced to get up early was swept away.
Xieyun was still worried, and after turning around for a long time, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Miss, do you think that the matter of Chunxi Courtyard was solved too hastily?" ”
Ruan Qingzhi raised her eyelids and yawned: "You mean they are acting too bland?" Especially the Kim family, who didn't bite me to death? ”
Yiyun nodded hesitantly. Even Banyue stopped smiling and came over nervously.
Ruan Qingzhi sat up on the pillow and sneered slightly: "Of course they won't give up, I'm afraid the good show is still to come." ”
"So what do we do?" Banyue was anxious again, "I knew that I shouldn't have let Yehan go out in this way!" With him, we can still be more down-to-earth in our hearts, and now we ...... like this."
"Ye Han has his own business," Ruan Qingzhi said lightly, "We can't rely on him to protect us for a lifetime." ”
Banyue stomped her feet to express her dissatisfaction, and Xianyun stepped forward to help Ruan Qingzhi stand up, and asked tentatively: "Why don't we go out immediately and say hello to the old lady?" ”
Ruan Qingzhi was about to agree, when he suddenly heard another commotion outside, and I don't know whose voice shouted sharply: "Oh no! Mrs. Kim is not good—"
