Chapter 83: Dig a basement
How Xichun became a concubine Ye Wenyan didn't know, but she personally gave someone to the Xiao family.
She drank the last sip of soup and told Xiangdong: "The wrist on Xichun's wrist belongs to the second lady. ”
Xiangdong thought about it for a while, and finally realized: "No wonder I always feel that bracelet is a little familiar, but it's not the same as the one that the second lady usually wears!" I heard that it was a relic left by the second master's nurse, and it was a pair, but the second lady usually only wore one, but she didn't expect the other one to fall into Xichun's hands. Isn't Xichun the person who has always been the second master? ”
She was suddenly a little afraid, if she had always been the second master's person, how much news would she have to send to the second master over the years? Miss's marriage was replaced by the third lady, will there be Xichun's credit here?
The more Xiangdong thought about it, the more frightened he became, and kowtowed to Ye Wenyan several times in a row, "No matter what others do, the slave and maid will definitely serve the young lady wholeheartedly, and there is no other heart, please Miss must believe in the slave and maid." ”
Ye Wenyan nodded: "Get up, I didn't say that you have an outside heart, I just sighed that I didn't distinguish between good and evil in the past, and I left such a person by my side." ”
Xiangdong didn't get up, so he asked, "Will Miss retaliate against her?" ”
"No, it won't." She said, "If Xichun just wants to be a concubine, it doesn't offend my interests too much, and I don't care, I just treat her as a whole." But I'm not a good person, there are some things to do, some things can't be done, she can drink my red date soup, or she can frame me for having flowers in the house, the reason why I didn't care too much about her is not that I am soft-hearted, I just want to keep her, maybe I can leave a truth. ”
Xiangdong was puzzled, "What truth?" ”
This time, Ye Wenyan only shook his head and stopped talking.
Ye Jingsheng may be greedy for beauty, but Xiao is by no means a person who can swallow his anger. I remember that in the past, because of the acceptance of the Liu family who combed his hair, the old lady Xiao personally came to the door to talk to the old lady of the night, and this time another maid came out, but I didn't see much reaction from the Xiao family, which is not normal.
can make Xiao Shi swallow this breath, and let Xichun go to serve tea to the old lady in front of her, and then listen to the old lady say those scattered words, saying that there is no reason here, who will believe it?
"Go ahead, call me in those two working mothers-in-law, I have something to ask them." She waved her hand and retreated from Xiangdong, and after a while, the two mothers-in-law who were detained by her for searching for hidden flowers entered the house.
Xiangdong closed the door outside and stood far away, not letting people in to disturb him.
After what happened last time, the two mothers-in-law now have a little psychological shadow on Ye Wenyan, and they can't understand until now, why the things in the fourth lady's house appeared on them even though they hadn't taken anything?
When planning this, the old lady repeatedly reminded them to only look for flowers, and the others must be carefully watched, and they must not touch the things in the house, so they are really careful and careful.
But I didn't expect that I had been so careful, but in the end something happened, and the key thing was too strange.
The two mothers-in-law knelt in front of Ye Wenyan, you look at me and I look at you, I can't guess why the fourth lady suddenly called them in.
Ye Wenyan was not in a hurry, drinking the tea on the table one by one, and the charcoal brazier in the room occasionally crackled, which made the hearts of the two mothers-in-law tremble, for fear that the fourth lady would be unhappy, so she directly pressed them into the charcoal brazier.
They have all heard about the night of the first seven sacrifices, the fourth young lady is too fierce, and she actually roasted the second master's hand as a pig's trotters, this is really the granddaughter cultivated by the old general, what else in the world does she dare not do?
In this way, I don't know how long I knelt down, I only felt that my legs were numb, and my knees ached faintly. ”
The two mothers-in-law were shocked, and their hearts almost didn't fly out.
How did the old lady die? Why did Miss Four suddenly ask about this?
"Is it hard to answer?" Ye Wenyan put down the teacup, leaned forward, put his elbows on his knees, wrapped his arms in front of him, stared at them and asked, "In my impression, although my grandfather has been injured a lot in battles all year round, it is precisely because he is a military general that his body has always been strong, and even if he is injured, it will never be fatal." But such a person died suddenly, and if there is no strange thing here, the ghosts don't believe it. ”
One of the mothers-in-law had the courage to take her words: "Fourth Miss, the old lady really died of illness, the old slave remembers clearly, the old lady suddenly had a fever that night, and Dr. Keqing diagnosed and treated it overnight, but the high fever never went away." The old lady had no choice, so she sent someone to invite the doctor, but the doctor came and didn't understand it, until she found that the old injuries on her body had recurred. ”
"Yes, yes, that's it." Another mother-in-law also opened her mouth, "The old lady had a high fever and tossed for more than ten days, and then the doctors were helpless, and the prescribed medicine could not be fed." People are getting thinner and thinner day by day, and the injuries on their bodies are recurring and festering one after another, and the old lady is like this. The old lady cried for many days, and the person lost weight. ”
"That's it?" Ye Wenyan thought for a while, and didn't continue to ask the old lady about it, so she turned around and asked another question: "What about my father?" How did he not have it? ”
The hearts of the two mothers-in-law chuckled again, and their hearts said that this was endless, but they couldn't help but answer, so they said: "The old slaves don't know how the old man got sick, because we are all waiting in front of the old lady." At that time, the old lady had only passed away for a day, and the house was in chaos, so I really didn't know why the old man suddenly became ill. ”
"It seems that I heard that the eldest lady was with the eldest lady at that time, and we don't know what the specific situation is, but the eldest master's illness came faster than the old lady, which is true. There were only two days before and after, and the people were gone. ”
"Yes, it was originally scheduled for the old lady to be mourned on three days, but because of the eldest master's business, I waited for two more days."
Ye Wenyan wrinkled his eyebrows, very dissatisfied with such an answer, but he couldn't ask for useful information again.
These two are old ladies, and even if they know something, they can't tell her the truth.
She thought of Ah Ran, who was poisoned in her previous life, Ah Ran would have a hypnotic ability, coupled with her special poison, which could make the person being questioned tell all the truth she knew like a dream, and at the same time, it would not cause harm to people.
It's a pity that she can't hypnotize, so poisonous that she learned a lot from Ah Ran, but she didn't learn the poison that can make people tell the truth. Now if you want to open their mouths, you can only use the violent means of the night family to search for souls directly.
But she doesn't want to search for souls, the people who are searched for souls will become fools, and two good mothers-in-law will become fools after walking through her house, what will others think? She still has to survive in this world, and she has to live in this mansion, she can't be too different, at least not now. Therefore, it is better to use violent means or not to use them.
After sending away the two mothers-in-law, Ye Wenyan was not in a very good mood, and when he saw that his house was full of large and small boxes, he was in a bad mood.
She turned out two handfuls of plum blossoms, stretched out her hands to the sides, and the plum blossoms were broken, and instantly the flowers turned into silver-white light around her hands.
The flower attracted spiritual power and rose rapidly, until the whole room was shrouded in silver light, and then I saw that the palm she had been holding up suddenly changed direction. The palm of the palm downward, the silver mangs also pressed down in unison, all pressed to the ground, immersed in brick mud, and little by little into the deep underground.
There was a slight tremor on the ground, and the furnishings on the table in the room also shook with a rattling sound.
But fortunately, the sound was not loud, and it only stopped after two or three breaths, the silver light was gone, the spiritual power was exhausted, and everything returned to its former appearance.
She walked to the door and pushed open the door and shouted, "Mama Ji, Shen'er, you two come in." ”
When the two heard the shouting, they immediately ran over, and she said to Xiangdong again: "Stand guard at the door, and if someone comes, call me." ”
Xiangdong nodded, closed the door again, and stood outside the door honestly.
Shen'er didn't understand why she was so mysterious, "Does Miss have anything important to explain to the slave maid and Mama Ji?" ”
She nodded, pointing to the boxes piled up in the room, "It's too much of a problem, tell you two to come back to work as coolies, and move all these things to the underground vault for me." ”
Shen'er was stunned, "Miss, what are you talking about?" Underground vaults? Where did the underground vault come from? ”
Mama Ji glanced at the ground, thinking thoughtfully, "What does Miss mean is that there is a secret room under the ground of this room?" ”
"Yes." Ye Wenyan nodded, but also corrected, "It's not one, it should be two, or two floors." It was as big as this house, and there were two rooms underground. These things are piled up in less than two layers, but there are more things in the future, and sooner or later they will be full. ”
Shen'er was even more confused, "Haven't you heard that there is a secret room in this house?" Where's the entrance? ”
She pointed to a cabinet, "Move that cabinet out of the way, the wall behind it can be pushed." ”
Shen'er immediately went over to push the cabinet, and Mama Ji also followed to help. Sure enough, the wall behind the cabinet can be pushed, like a door, and after pushing it open, there is a staircase going down.
"Oh my day, is there a place like this in this house? Hasn't anyone found out before? Shen'er looked at Ye Wenyan, "Miss, this house was lived in by the fifth miss in the past, in case the fifth miss also found out, it won't be called a secret room." ”
"Don't worry, no one knows, it was my grandfather who secretly dug it up and dug it for many years. There are many secret rooms like this in the entire General's Mansion, but the people in the mansion don't know about it, only my grandfather and I know about it. She casually talked nonsense and fooled the pendant.
But Shen'er also really believes it, she will believe whatever Miss says, anyway, the old lady is only good to Miss Four, this is something that everyone knows. So there was no suspicion, and he dragged a small box and rushed down first.
When Mama Ji was not so easy to fool, after the fall went down, she lowered her voice and asked Ye Wenyan: "Is this secret room really left by the old general?" ”
Ye Wenyan smiled, "How is it possible, I asked Shi Liyuan to come over and use spells to dig it for me." It's good to know in your heart, but don't tell others. ”
