Chapter 124: The thief shouts to catch the thief
In this late autumn weather, Li You's back shirt was a little sweaty. He has a ghost in his heart, so he naturally doesn't want to talk to Aunt Fu in front of his father-in-law, for fear of getting angry, but he has to discuss with Aunt Fu how to deal with it, so he has to think of a chance to meet alone.
With a quick turn of thought, Li You asked his father-in-law to ask: "Ugly things should not be publicized, what moves have occurred in Erniang's coming and going is easy to arouse the suspicion of others, and the son-in-law is willing to share the worries of Lao Taishan, quietly go to inquire, and then return when there is a result." ”
Liu Lao also felt that what his son-in-law said made sense, even if he was a man who was about to become a monk, he didn't want to lose face on this, of course, the fewer people who were alarmed, the better, if Aunt Fu came to cry and scream, it would not look good.
He regretted that he had just impulsively said "wild seed" to let his son-in-law know the inside story, and before he planned how to deal with it, he still didn't spread the news again. At the same time, he didn't want to see Aunt Fu, or didn't want to face this embarrassment directly, so it was appropriate to send Li You, who had already understood the situation, to ask him on his behalf, so he nodded and said, "Let's go." ”
With the promise of Lao Taishan, Aunt Li, who can be called a thief to catch a thief, accompanied by the old housekeeper, went to Aunt Fu's room in the backyard. On the road, he gradually calmed down in his heart, and thought as he walked, fortunately, he came to Liu's Mansion today and encountered this incident, otherwise everything would be over.
Regarding this matter, Li You's preliminary plan is to take himself out, second, to appease Aunt Fu, and third, to keep this fetus as much as possible. However, when I saw Aunt Fu for a while, what to say still needs to be carefully considered.
When he entered the outside of Aunt Fu's room and retired from all the subordinates, Li You faced Aunt Fu and saw her sitting lazily on the chair, her posture was still gorgeous, but her expression was nervous and her eyes were panicked. It seems that he also knows the diagnosis, and Dr. Zhang did not hide it from her.
"Erniang, you are really asking for hardship and self-inflicted." Li You whispered sarcastically angrily.
Aunt Fu saw that Li You seemed to have seen a backer, and she couldn't help but grab Li You nervously, but after stretching out her hand, she shrank back in fear.
"Panic what! Old Taishan sent me to ask, how to answer? If you think about it, is there anyone who can frame it? For example, Erniang knows who has any marks on them? Li You said in a good way, first of all, he had to lead the troubles elsewhere and remove himself, the innocent victim.
I thought that I felt that I had something to rely on when I came to the savior, but when I heard Li You's words that he wanted to clear himself, Aunt Fu was angry, and stood up and said, "Do you want to kill a thousand knives and ask the concubine to admit to being annihilated with others?" I might as well admit you..."
Li You was startled, turned around to see that there was no one near the door, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Idiot, do you want to drag me to die together?" Even I'm trapped, who can help you? Besides, don't forget that I at least promised to take care of Brother Jie'er, so what's the good of you dragging me into the water? ”
Aunt Fu was forced to swallow a breath by Li You's training, and she remembered her son, so she had to think about what Li You said. He bowed his head for a moment before replying: "There is a servant in the house, Liu Xin, who is friendly with my nephew, and I heard that my nephew mentioned that he has a mole on his waist. ”
Li You was slightly relieved, it seems that she has figured it out in her heart, women are not terrible, I am afraid that she will lose her mind and make the situation out of control. Then he asked, "What is the man's appearance?" ”
"Upper-middle."
"That's him." Li You decided: "I'll go and reply to Old Taishan." ”
Aunt Fu said anxiously: "How can the concubine be born?" ”
"Naturally, I'll try my best to excuse you, and you wait for news."
Li You turned back to the study and said to his father-in-law: "I asked clearly, the annihilator is Liu Xin, a servant in the house." How to dispose of it? ”
Liu Lao inspected and hesitated: "Is this really the case?" ”
Li You replied: "Aunt Fu confessed that Liu Xin had a black mole on his waist, which is enough to prove it. He added: "I heard that it was Fu Cai who pulled the strings." ”
Liu Lao was furious when he inspected the case, "I treat her well, and I dare to be so disobedient to women's morals." Walk! The old man is going to beat her to death! ”
This is not good, you can't force Aunt Fu to be anxious... Li You thought about it and hurriedly said: "Erniang said that it was very difficult for her to stay alive and widowed, and she couldn't help but do the wrong thing of red apricot out of the wall, please forgive Lao Taishan." ”
This sentence immediately hit the weakness of Liu Lao's inspection, and if he couldn't be hard, he couldn't be tough on his wife and concubine, and he really owed something in this regard. Thinking that he was going to become a monk again, why bother to make a big fuss about this matter and make people laugh, but he definitely couldn't keep Aunt Fu at home to continue to make a fool of himself.
Li You looked at his father-in-law's expression, and said: "This matter should not be delayed for a long time, otherwise it is inevitable that there will be rumors, and it is good for Lao Taishan to cut through the mess quickly." ”
Li You is urging his father-in-law to fix the matter to death as soon as possible, so as not to have any flaws after this period and not be able to make trouble.
Inspector Liu sighed and said, "That's it, the old man won't pursue it, you go and tell her to pack up her clothes and leave the mansion by herself." It was said to the outside world that the old man was going to become a monk, so he dismissed the concubine. ”
This can be regarded as rushing Aunt Fu out of the house, and Brother Jie, as the only son of the Liu family, naturally stayed in the Liu Mansion, and the concubine had no right to take it away even if she was kicked out, even if it was her own.
Father-in-law's decision was very much in line with Li You's thoughts, and when he was about to rush Aunt Fu to leave, he saw Liu Lao Inspector find the old housekeeper and ordered: "That Liu Xin died violently, report a sudden illness!" Then the people were sent to Zhuangzi to farm, and the land rent was eighty percent. ”
These two real innocents ended up miserable, but Li Youke didn't have time to sympathize with them. He has to implement the matter of driving away Aunt Fu as soon as possible, as long as Aunt Fu is out of Liu's Mansion, there will be no evidence of any doubts that Lao Taishan remembers in the future.
It is said that under Li You's "supervision", Aunt Fu packed up some clothes, and said to Li You with a small package: "The concubine only has a distant relative in Fucheng, and she wants to go to him." ”
Li You nodded when he heard this, this is not bad, and whispered: "Take care, see you when I go back to Fucheng." This can be regarded as appeasing Aunt Fu, lest she jump over the wall in a hurry and cause trouble.
"Brother Jie..."
Li You said: "Let's protect ourselves first, come and say Fang Chang." ”
When he arrived at the gate of Liu's mansion, Li You called Changsui Zhang San over and said, "You took twenty taels of silver from your home and rented a boat to escort Erniang to Fucheng to settle down." ”
Zhang San was very strange in his heart, he didn't understand why the old man cared about Aunt Fu, and specially called him this long escort, but he didn't understand and did so.
Looking at Aunt Fu going away, Li You breathed a sigh of relief, today is really dangerous, thanks to the inspiration that Lao Taishan didn't want to face the embarrassment, he had the opportunity to make trouble.
Li You also wanted to find the inside line of the inspection department through his father-in-law, but it was not the time to say anything when he saw Liu Lao's inspection. So he temporarily left Liu's Mansion and went to Xujiang County to talk to Chen Zhixian.
