Chapter 491: Peony's Death
Li Wenxuan, who was not deceived by his words, sandwiched a piece of roasted venison into Li Muxin's bowl, and asked Zhao Han to say it directly very calmly and calmly. Zhao Han, who was embarrassed, couldn't help but shift his attention from the head of the family to Zhao Tian'er's side. She seemed completely indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Zhao Han, who knew that cheating the head of the family was completely equivalent to disloyalty, would make him even more unsuccessful, and he believed that this matter would eventually let Li Wenxuan know, rather than end up with a guilty body, it was better to tell it frankly. I don't have much to do with that matter, after all, I am acting on orders.
Zhao Han, who had no second choice at all, spoke very slowly but said very clearly: "Peony, she jumped into the well and died." Zhao Tian'er, who heard this, was really shocked, and dropped the chopsticks in her hand to the ground with a miss. She looked out of shape, and her eyes naturally focused on Li Wenxuan, after all, she only cared about how he looked at this matter.
hurriedly stood up to relieve her, in order to cover up all this that happened in the past, Ning Xiang, consciously interjected to blame Zhao Han, and at the same time, he wanted to divert the topic and said: "You really damn it, didn't you see that the eldest lady and eldest prince were still eating?" Look, you've scared the eldest lady. Narcissus, dare to go and get a pair of chopsticks and come in for the eldest lady. ”
And Li Wenxuan, who couldn't understand her intentions, didn't have any expression changes on his face, but just stroked Li Muxin's hair with one hand, and said as if he hadn't heard anything at all: "Is the braised venison delicious?" She didn't understand how much "death" and "jumping into the well" were related, so she didn't show fear when she heard this, but looked at her father, blinked her eyes twice, and nodded her little head melon seeds. While showing deliciousness, it is intended to be. So, Li Wenxuan sandwiched a piece of braised venison for Li Muxin and put it in her bowl.
Zhao Tian'er, who knew that this thing could not be hidden, the only thing she could do was to try to pick herself clean, so she slowly looked at Zhao Han again, revealing a sad expression that was not hypocritical. But with a knowingly questionable rearrangement, there is a considerable discrepancy with the facts: "Why did Peony jump into the well?" I was in a hurry, so I ordered you to take her to the Zhuangzi outside the city. I still want to let you take her back in three or five days. Ay...... Why can't she think about it like this? ”
Of course, Zhao Han, who knew that Dao couldn't correct the objective facts and offended her, had no choice but to follow this version and continue to be very cooperative: "It's not! When the eldest lady called the villain to come, she also talked about letting the peony think about it for a while. Who knew that her temperament would be so big? According to the villain, Peony's death had nothing to do with everyone, but was caused by her own inability to think about it for a while. ”
Li Wenxuan, who still didn't have any reaction, continued to pay attention to Li Muxin. But in my heart, I thought that the peony girl really belonged to the heart higher than the sky, and the life was thinner than paper. However, I am not so easily fooled by them. He has a lot of ideas about the double reeds that Zhao Tianer and Zhao Han performed in front of him. After all, Peony is a second-class maid, and the status in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is second only to Ning Xiang. If it weren't for the fact that she had made some big mistake and done something taboo. will definitely not be driven out of Lu by Zhao Tian'er. It's not that I don't know the way, this maid who was assigned to Zhuangzi. Either waiting for someone to be matched, or waiting to be resold, and there is a reason to come back? Whether it is the former or the latter, for them, life is worse than death.
Li Wenxuan is clear that this has read some books of peony. There is some arrogance in her temperament, looking down on her arrogance and arrogance, and I believe that Zhao Tianer also understands this situation. In the end, the peony that ended up like this, if it didn't die, it would be strange. She died. It's logical and reasonable. As for her death, it is true that it has nothing to do with Zhao Tian'er directly, but there must be an indirect relationship. Or rather, Zhao Tianer killed her intentionally and unintentionally.
Li Wenxuan continued to think that since everyone was dead, the only thing he could do was to bury him. As for who will be held accountable and at fault, there is no need at all. On the one hand, people can't be resurrected after death, and it is useless, and on the other hand, they can't make the house full of chickens and dogs for an insignificant maid.
Li Wenxuan, who had made up his mind, lightly made the most reluctant instructions and said: "Peony is also here from my hometown." Remembering that she has served our family with both merit and hard work, then go to the account and withdraw a hundred taels of silver to bury her! This one matter will be handled by you, Zhao Han, in person. Zhao Han, who couldn't choose not to do it, promised to come down with his hands in fists. After standing for a while, he did not hear any other orders from the head of the house, so he slowly retreated.
Zhao Tian'er, who was not solid in her heart, seemed a little incomprehensible, and cautiously said to herself: "Peony and I are also masters and servants, but I never thought that she would commit suicide by throwing herself into a well." ”
"This has happened, so stop blaming yourself and feeling sad. buries her, and it can be regarded as worthy of Peony serving you and Mu Xin's mother and daughter. Li Wenxuan, who didn't hold her accountable and blamed, really didn't want to act impartially for an outsider who had neither husband and wife status nor blood relationship with her. To put it bluntly, if this person really wants to seek death, he can't stop it.
Zhao Tian'er, who heard the meaning of his words, could not understand that he would not blame himself for a maid. Even so, he still can't help but feel a certain amount of sadness about the death of Peony, after all, the two masters and servants are the same. She lost her appetite, and she was not in the mood to move the chopsticks anymore, but took out the handkerchief she was carrying and wiped her slightly moist eyes.
"Don't be sad, lady. Every man has his own blessings. Sister Peony's death was all recorded in the judge's life and death book a long time ago. All of these causes and effects are certain. Narcissus, who had already put down her chopsticks, was still standing not far from her, but wanted to use this incident to add points to her promotion to the second-class maid, so as to comfort the master.
As soon as these words fell, Xia Cao, who was standing in the room, hurriedly came to Zhao Tian'er's close place in three steps and two steps, and tried her best to behave: "Big lady, you are the most merciful person. It's all Sister Peony who is at fault, but she completely failed you. (To be continued......)
