Chapter 241: Counting is Counting
"Three... Third aunt. Xinke was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed his head.
The third aunt looked at the trembling and smiled warmly, and said to her: "I know that the eldest lady treats you badly, and she doesn't say anything about alienating you intentionally or unintentionally, but now she only has a first-class maid, but she still doesn't promote you, so that you are just a third-class maid, which is better than the green clothes around her." After speaking, she raised her hand and waved, and the maid behind her brought about six or seven silver ingots, which was the monthly money of a second-class maid for five years. Looking at so much silver, Xinke wondered in his heart, how could an unfavored aunt have so much money?
"Third aunt, I can't ......"
The third aunt raised her hand and interrupted her, "Naturally, you only need to answer my words truthfully, and these are all yours." ”
Xinke looked up at the silver ingot, and sighed that the third aunt was really generous, Xinke thought of Qin Xuechuyu's instructions, and deliberately showed a greedy gaze.
Seeing this, the third aunt smiled with satisfaction, and the mother on the side understood, stepped forward and stuffed a few silver ingots into Xinke's hands, and said with a smile: "Take it, my aunt will reward you." ”
I have long heard that the second aunt and the second lady of the West Courtyard are extremely generous, but they don't want this unknown third aunt to give six ingots of silver as soon as she makes a move, and her handwriting is even more generous than that of the second aunt.
Xinke asked timidly, "I don't know about the third aunt... What do you want to know? ”
The third aunt took the blue and white porcelain teacup, tasted it, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, I won't ask about your master, you just need to tell me what happened to the sixth aunt when she went to Jin Pavilion today." ”
Xinke lowered her head and thought about it, told Nuo Xuewan what she said, and said, "Suddenly the sixth aunt left angrily... The third aunt must also know about the rest of the matter......"
"That means that the sixth aunt heard the eldest lady say that the pastry was poisonous, and she became very angry and was about to leave?"
"Yes, the sixth aunt said that the young lady spewed blood, and she didn't know the hearts of good people, so she left angrily." Xinke Road.
The third aunt took a sip of tea and asked, "Why didn't you tell your father and wife, or the second aunt, about this?" ”
Xinke shook his head, "I only heard the young lady say that more is better than less, and the evidence is not complete, so I can't say it clearly when the time comes." ”
The third aunt's face is very ugly, this Qin Xue Chu is really an elm head, she doesn't want the opportunity to send it to the door in vain, and she is not very smart.
Evidence? I'm afraid that when my father sees this poisonous pastry here, the sixth aunt won't be able to escape, what evidence do you have to talk about?
"What about the poisonous pastry? But still in the house? ”
Xinke shook his head again, "No, I'm afraid that others will eat it by mistake, and Miss also ordered us to smash it and throw it away." ”
"What an idiot!" The third aunt scolded, her face still ugly, "Really, such an important evidence... She threw it away easily! ”
The third aunt seems to be angry with Qin Xuechu, the evidence has been destroyed, and now she can't sue on her behalf, if she acts rashly, she may cause ashes, thinking of this, the third aunt can't help but hate Qin Xuechu a few points.
Xinke said timidly: "Miss... Miss Xu doesn't want to cause trouble......"
The third aunt didn't continue to talk about this, and asked her, "Does anyone else know about this?" ”
Xinke shook his head, "Miss won't let us talk about ......" "Okay, you go back, if there is anything in the future, I will let someone find you." Naturally, the reward will not be less than yours, but you naturally have to understand the fate of betraying me. The third aunt smiled at her, and there was a strong threat behind her.
Jin Pavilion in the North Courtyard.
Lu Qiao hesitated for a few moments, but still asked, "Miss, why did I let Lu Yi and I pack up outside today, and let Xinke stay in the house?" As if he deliberately snubbed her. ”
Qin Xuechu smiled undeniably, and took them to the back of the rockery in the courtyard, and a few footprints of different shades were particularly clear.
"Now you understand?"
The three of them all showed surprise on their faces, and looked up at their young lady, looking as if they had expected it a long time ago.
Green Yi exclaimed, "Could it be that when Sister Lu Qiao and I were busy outside, that person was already here?" So why didn't he do it? Is it a scruple or something? ”
After a few questions in a row, Green Yi also said the thoughts of the other two people. Qin Xuechuyu smiled faintly, "That's why I asked Xinke to go out to get the incense herbs." The fact that the man is watching you go back and forth and does not do anything means that he is waiting for someone. Speaking of this, Qin Xue Chu glanced at Xinke.
Xinke didn't have the slightest childishness in Nuo Xuewan's place, let alone being submissive, but straightened his waist, "Miss Mingjian, the slave is loyal to you." ”
"I naturally know, otherwise you wouldn't have put the medicine in my tea after a few persuasions from Ruyi, wouldn't you?" Qin Xue Chu was calm and continued: "The reason why I deliberately alienated you is here, they saw that you were new and were snubbed, and it was the best outlet compared to green clothes, so I specially asked you to get medicinal herbs, and he was waiting for him to come." ”
Lu Qiao asked out loud, "Isn't that young lady afraid that he won't come?" Or did you take me with Green? "No, do you think you'll say anything when you go with Green?" The two shook their heads, and Qin Xue Chu Yu said again: "That's it, she didn't ask for the news, and she exposed herself, is she really stupid to that point?" ”
At this moment, Qin Xue Chu felt that the IQ of her two girls still had to be improved.
"I discussed it with Xinke in advance, and I deliberately alienated her, and I always felt that something would happen, but I didn't think it would start after a few days." Qin Xuechuyu smacked her lips, "She really can't wait." ”
……
The night was deep, the sky was full of stars, and the crescent moon was hanging, and a shadow of the ground shone through the moonlight.
The shadow skirted the main road, shuttling through several small paths, and finally reached the Jin Pavilion. A maid came out to wait, and when she saw someone coming, she led her in a whisper.
Qin Xuechuyu sat on the rose vine chair on the armrest, and asked the person who came to win the moon with stars and moon, "Sixth aunt, have you been discovered when you came?" ”
The sixth aunt shook her head and said with a smile: "I walked all the paths, and some of them didn't even know about the second aunt, how could they be discovered." "The sixth aunt is full of confidence, after all, she is very familiar with the road, and the second aunt has never seen it, how can she know.
Qin Xue Chu nodded, tonight's sixth aunt is wearing a purple dress, and there is almost no one walking on the road after dark, so she should not be discovered.
Lu Qiao came in and added a brocade stool, let the sixth aunt sit next to Qin Xuechuyu, and brought the doors and windows when she went out. For a while, there were only two people in the room, and as soon as the sixth aunt sat down, she couldn't wait to start asking, "Miss, can you find out?" Was the second aunt poisoned? ”
Qin Xue Chuyu shook her head and said, "In my opinion, the person who poisoned it may not be the second aunt, the only thing that is certain is that the person who poisoned it wants to frame the second aunt." ”
