Chapter 386: Ascending to the Hall
Ruan Chubai tilted his head with the innocence of a young man, and thought for a while: "Don't worry, mother, I covered my nose that night and stunned the maid who was keeping vigil in my house with benzoin. Then he took benzoin and sneaked into the small courtyard. Mother, you know, that small courtyard was originally rebuilt with my opinion in mind, and I won't get lost in the structure of it with my eyes closed...... When I saw Nguyen Hung and Bai Ling keeping vigil there, I used benzoin to stun them both. Then the windows were opened, and it didn't take long for the little cub to freeze and turn red all over...... Then I saw that his body was convulsing, and I don't know how long it took for the person to stop moving. ”
Second Mrs. An's expression changed slightly.
No wonder on the day the little cub died, her Bai'er had a high fever, and it turned out that she had sneaked out that night and was blown by the wind and snow!
Second Mrs. An was frightened and distressed.
Mrs. An stood up from the side of the bed awkwardly.
She paced back and forth in the room, walking up and down, her face a little anxious.
Second Mrs. An has completely accepted the fact that the person was killed by Ruan Chubai.
She didn't want to blame her son for anything, it wasn't her son's fault in the first place.
It's all the sins of Second Master Ruan. If it weren't for the fact that Second Master Ruan was unfaithful to her, placed an outer room outside, and had an illegitimate child with the outer room, how could her Bai'er be infected with such sins with her hands at such a young age!
If it is said that Second Mrs. An hated Second Master Ruan from love to hatred before, now Second Mrs. An has only complete hatred for Second Master Ruan.
Where is he who can't live with her alone, and what he can't stop with is their Bai'er!
"Mother, what are you shaking, I'm dizzy......" Ruan Chubai whispered.
Second Mrs. An bit her lip, not wanting to pass on her anxiety about Ruan Chubai's killing of Kong Chuhua to Ruan Chubai.
She returned to Ruan Chubai's bed, bent down and pulled the quilt up for Ruan Chubai, covering her chest.
Although Second Lady An's face was still a little pale, her tone was still loving: "Good Bai'er, you can sleep for a while...... Don't worry, you don't have to worry about anything else, you have a mother......"
Ruan Chubai pursed his lips slightly, revealing a pure smile: "Hmm." ”
Second Mrs. An stayed until Ruan Chubai fell asleep, then she walked out lightly, opened the door, called the maid in, and said sharply: "These days, you have to take care of the young master more carefully, and if the young master is a little uncomfortable, you have to inform me in time, do you know?!" ”
The maids looked at each other, that's what they usually do......
The second lady is really weird today.
The maids muttered in their hearts, and their faces were naturally all agreeing.
Second Mrs. An wrapped her cloak in a hurry and returned to Second Master Ruan's study.
However, at this time, there were only some people left in the study who were cleaning up the mess in the study according to the instructions of Second Master Ruan, whether it was Second Master Ruan or the Kong family, no one was gone.
Second Mrs. An looked around left and right, and saw Second Master Ruan's personal servant standing there with her hands down to greet her, and asked sharply, "What about the master and that slut?!" ”
The nickname for "slut" is naturally clear about who it refers to.
In the face of the second Mrs. An, who is not easy to mess with, the little girl does not intend to make Mrs. An unhappy with this title.
He followed Mrs. An's words in a kind manner, and replied respectfully: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the master has gone to the military department, it seems that there is something in the military department that needs to be dealt with urgently; As for the Kong family, she had already followed the officials of the government to the yamen. ”
Only then did Mrs. An remember that the Kong family had been passed on by the yamen before!
Second Mrs. An's face suddenly turned pale.
She, like the second master Ruan before, was misunderstood.
thought that Kong was summoned by the yamen because Kong stabbed the unexplained matter of Kong Chuhua's death to the government office.
Second Lady An's heart jumped to her throat at once.
At this moment, there was only one thought left in Mrs. An's heart......
Her Bai'er, that's categorical!
……
Fang Hanniang returned to Fuyuan Hall, and Fang Zhiniang and Fang Minghuai had already coaxed the old lady to rest in the afternoon.
The two children seemed to have something to say to Fang Hanniang, and they waited in Fang Hanniang's room.
Fang Hanniang untied her cloak and said with a smile: "You two don't go to rest, what are you doing here?" I don't have a third piece of Master Hemp's ink ingot here. ”
Hearing the eldest sister's meaningful teasing, Fang Zhiniang couldn't help blushing slightly. Fang Minghuai smiled, got up and poured a cup of hot tea for Fang Hanniang personally, and sent it to Fang Hanniang with a saucer in both hands: "Eldest sister, we just want to come over and talk to eldest sister...... The eldest sister eats tea. ”
Fang Hanniang took the tea with a smile and glanced at Brother Huai'er: "Okay, Brother Huai'er, tell me, what do you want to say to the eldest sister?" ”
When Fang Minghuai saw Fang Hanniang like this, he knew that he couldn't hide his eldest sister from his slippery head, and he was not ashamed, so he stepped forward with a smile, his eyes shining: "Eldest sister, Fang Cai, the second aunt is so happy, what's the matter?" ”
Fang Hanniang smiled.
Looking at it again, although Fang Zhiniang was smiling shyly, there were also four big words written in her eyes:
"I'm curious!"
It turns out that the two of them are for this!
Fang Hanniang took a sip of tea, put the tea on the small table on the side, and thought about it, it's not that she can't tell these two children about this.
Based on the quarrel between her second uncle and her second aunt that she had just vaguely heard outside the second room, as well as the fact that Kong was summoned by the yamen, she had a vague premonition.
It's also a good idea to talk to the two children in advance so that they can be mentally prepared.
After all, the two children are estimated to live in the Pingguo Mansion for a period of time in the future, and if they want to live happily, they must integrate into the atmosphere of the Pingguo Mansion.
Fang Hanniang had an idea in her heart, coughed lightly, and told Fang Zhiniang Fang Minghuai about the ins and outs of the matter, including the violent death of the second uncle's illegitimate son.
The two children opened their mouths slightly in shock.
Fang Hanniang couldn't help but stretch out her slender fingers, nodded Fang Minghuai and Fang Zhiniang's foreheads next to each other, and admonished: "...... In short, if you encounter the second room in the future, you don't want to get involved, you know? ”
Fang Minghuai and Fang Zhiniang both nodded.
Fang Hanniang remembered one more thing, and couldn't help but feel a little upset.
She sighed, although she really didn't want to talk about the length of the person behind her back, but this matter was not a trivial matter. She decided to talk to Fang Minghuai and Fang Zhiniang about this first.
"The second aunt's maiden family has a niece named An Ruyi." Fang Hanniang said implicitly, "This Miss An has some thoughts about the third cousin. It's good to have a number in your mind. This Miss An is not a fuel-efficient, she is a 'character' who even dares to be a gunman even her grandmother. She hooked the corners of her mouth, "You should be careful when you meet her." ”
Fang Zhiniang was still nodding there, and Fang Minghuai jumped out to express his excitement: "Wow, that girl wants to fight the third cousin's idea?" ”
After Ruan Chuxiao's escort these days, Fang Minghuai has developed an extremely strong admiration for this cousin, and when he hears something related to the third cousin, his eyes will shine.
Fang Hanniang nodded: "Seriously, if this Miss An pursues the third cousin openly...... It's true, this girl An's mind is a little wrong. There was a rare hint of anger in her words, "My grandmother has always been very kind to that Miss An, but that Miss An still ignores her grandmother's body, calculates her grandmother, and uses her grandmother as a gunman." For that matter, I never wanted to deal with that girl anymore. ”
Although they have been together for less than a day, the old lady of Pingguo has a deep view of Fang Zhiniang Fang Minghuai's love for the two children, and is full of admiration for this grandmother.
Hearing the eldest sister say this, the two children have the same aspirations, and they are not willing to deal with that Miss An, and they will stay away in the future.
Fang Hanniang nodded with satisfaction.
……
There was a warm brazier in the yamen, and Jing Zhaoyin even sent a few big white flour steamed buns and hot soup, and a few beggars burst into tears with excitement while eating and devouring them, grabbing the steamed buns and stuffing them into their mouths.
In the eyes of these beggars, they wish they could stay in the yamen for a little longer. Compared to the ice and snow outside, this place can be said to be a fairyland.
A few people kneeling on the side of the Yizhuang, kneeling knees are painful, although they also have white flour steamed buns and hot soup in front of them, but they are uneasy in their hearts, the food is tasteless, the taste is the same as chewing wax, although the hot soup is delicious, it is also a little difficult to swallow.
When Jing Zhaoyin disappeared for a long time, he appeared, and the first thing he did was to ask them about the identity of the woman who had given them money to drive away the beggars.
The thin man recalled for a long time, and then vaguely remembered that yesterday when the senior officer of the military department came to pay tribute to the child with the woman, he once called the woman "Kong's".
Jing Zhaoyin repeatedly confirmed, and even asked a few messengers from Yizhuang to draw a charge on this matter, so he threw away the signature and asked the yacha to go to the Pingguo Mansion to summon the "Kong family of the second room".
When a few of the poor people heard this, their legs almost went limp.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the magnate of the Pingguo Mansion?
It's just that now, they have drawn all the bets, where can they regret it?
A few people from Yizhuang only felt that the sky was about to fall, and when they were waiting for the government to summon the "Kong family", several people were almost frightened.
I don't know how long I waited, but a few messengers only felt that their knees were numb, and then they saw a yacha outside running in quickly and told Jing Zhaoyin that Kong's had arrived.
Jing Zhaoyin's expression lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Pass it on!" ”
Kong Shi looked a little blank and followed the two yacha into the lobby.
Although she got the assurance of Second Master Ruan before leaving, she would not let her have any trouble, and even sent the chief to follow Ruan Gang with her. But Second Master Ruan's differential treatment of Ruan Chubai and Kong Chuhua still made Kong's heart feel like a needle prick.
Angry, yet dazed and helpless.
The son she gave birth to, no matter how smart and healthy he was, even if the deceased was the greatest, couldn't he compare to that sick seedling?
Just because, she is the outer room, and the sick mother, is it the main room?
Kong Shi was a little dumbfounded, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Jing Zhaoyin.
"See your Excellency."
