8. Crimes

Qiao Li took the small statue in his hand, opened the door and strode away. Aunt Zhou has been complacent these days, and she thought that she could come to the bitter end, but she couldn't imagine that she was slapped a few times for some reason, and she couldn't help but stay for a long time, thinking secretly: This is not a hell of a life, how can that little statue be in my room!

Qiao Li walked out of the room and walked straight towards Furui Courtyard. Yu Meiniang did not rest, she was holding the silver lamp, her face was full of east wind, and she greeted her with a smile. Qiao Li was full of gloom and threw the statue on the table. Yu Meiniang pretended to take it in her hand and looked at it, and pretended to be strange: "Why did the master come here now?" Is this the body again? ”

Qiao angrily said the matter of the right talent. Yu Meiniang exclaimed: "Oh, the master seriously broke this matter? Alas, don't be angry, I was also suspicious of this matter, but there is no evidence, in fact, there is no way to think about it. ”

Qiao said hurriedly: "Didn't you know that it was for the body?" ”

Yu Meiniang smiled: "My lord, Aunt Zhou was rewarded by Lord Shangshu, how can you take someone without evidence?" I had long suspected that the child was coming from the wrong way, and I only regretted that the old lady and the old man only thought that I was jealous, but now I know that I have good intentions. ”

Qiao Li relied on Yu Meiniang to get used to it, and at this time he was most annoyed, and he intuitively felt that the child was not, so it was really natural for Yu Meiniang to do something that hindered the child, so he simply didn't care about the thing that made her grounded, and asked directly: "What should I do now?" ”

"It's not difficult, if the lord wants her to die, he will reward her with a rope. If she spares her life, she will come from that side, and send her to that side, and staying by her side will be the bane of the end. Make up your mind quickly, for fear that you will catch a glimpse of her and relent again the next day, and it will be difficult. What's more, the old lady already knew about this, and believed that this child was the master's species, but I was afraid that the old lady would say that she was not comfortable in the room, and the old lady thought that I was unwilling to make a hindrance! Yu Meiniang said unhurriedly.

Qiao Li hated: "If it weren't for the fear of making a fuss known to everyone, I would have beaten her to death!" The more I think about it, the more angry I become, hum, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart if I don't kill this next thing! ”

Qiao Li angrily took people back to Aunt Zhou's Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, but in the flower garden, he bumped into Qiao Siwan, who had just returned from Shou'an Hall, and Aunt Li, who was walking on the back of her shoulder. Aunt Li saw Qiao Li hurriedly saluting, but when she saw the person standing next to Qiao Li, she was startled, and said, "Madam? ”

As soon as she spoke, she spontaneously made a mistake, and she didn't spontaneously glance at Qiao Siwan, but Qiao Siwan didn't even move her brows, but happily went up to ask for peace: "Daddy, mother, where are you going?" ”

Qiao Li was angry, snorted coldly and took people away. Yu Meiniang showed a smile at Qiao Siwan and said, "Wan'er, Aunt Zhou has done something ugly, your father is about to punish her, I persuaded him for a long time, but he refused to listen!" ”

"How so?" Aunt Li's expression turned white, and the so-called ugly things in the inner courtyard of the deep house were inconvenient and uneasy in the room...... In this way, isn't all that happened in Shou'antang a stumble and gave up halfway? Thinking so, her expression turned into a shame without spontaneously.

Qiao Siwan smiled and said: "My mother has always been kind-hearted, Aunt Zhou is small, and my father is big, so if I get angry, it's not worth it." You'd better hurry up and take a look, but don't let your father soften his heart after listening to Aunt Zhou's few wordsβ€”β€”"

Yu Meiniang was stunned when she heard this, and secretly said in her heart that this girl was so scheming, and regretted that Aunt Zhou would never have the opportunity to cry, thinking of this, she smiled coldly and turned around and left, Aunt Li watched Yu Meiniang leave all the way, her expression became more and more embarrassed, and she couldn't spontaneously look at Qiao Siwan and said, "Miss......"

Qiao Siwan smiled slightly: "Aunt Li is worried by chance, so it's better to take a look for yourself." ”

Li Yue'e was the most worried in her heart, and said steadily: "Miss, why don't you go and have a look?" ”

Qiao Siwan's eyes were full of brilliance, as if she had guessed Aunt Li's psychology, and said lightly: "It is said that I should not intervene in the affairs of Daddy's room, but Aunt Zhou's truth is given by Daddy's superiors, I am afraid that he will be punished in a temporary anger, so I will go with you to take a look." ”

Mama Fang and Hongyu glanced at each other, and couldn't help but think in their hearts, the eldest lady really knew Yu Meiniang best, and even thought that she would take action in the future, but this matter was the most difficult to do, once Aunt Zhou was convicted of being uneasy in the room, how the housemother looked at her should be, wouldn't Yu Meiniang be favored again?

Qiao Li arrived at the Hexiang Courtyard, saw that the door of the courtyard was closed, and no one answered the door, so he became more and more annoyed, and ordered someone to kick the door open, and pushed the door open first, and saw Aunt Zhou's pretty face at a glance, and she had hanged herself on the bedpost with a long handkerchief.

Qiao Li was stunned when she saw it, and hurriedly ordered someone to step forward to take off the veil for her and carry her to the bed, but the person was already cold and had no smell.

The people who punished Aunt Zhou fiercely suddenly panicked, and some people saw that the old man was stunned over there, so they wanted to go out to report to the old lady, but Yu Meiniang asked Mother Wang to stop the person, and said coldly: "This is the fear of crime and short-sightedness, an aunt actually dares to look for death and life in our house, seriously I don't know the rules, spend a few dollars to bury her." ”

The four big words of fear of crime and short-sightedness reminded Qiao Li, his expression turned from white to blue, how could he not have the object of the outbreak, and he couldn't get out of his chest with a breath. At this time, Qiao Siwan and Aunt Li also entered the door, and saw that there was something unclear about the scene inside, Qiao Siwan heard the words "fear of crime and seeking shortness", and smiled coldly in her heart, Aunt Zhou died like this without even a word of defense, I am afraid that it is the action of Yu Meiniang again, for her own selfishness, she will trample on the lives of two people, and it is the psychology of the tiger and the leopard! She whispered to Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, you have always been good friends with Aunt Zhou, and when you see her dying in vain, you should cry for her." ”

Aunt Li was frightened by the scene inside, and suddenly raised her face to look at Qiao Siwan when she heard this, but saw that although her expression was quiet, there was a bone-piercing coldness in her eyes. She can't wake up from a cold war by herself, that's right, she can't let Yu Meiniang sit on Aunt Zhou's charges!

Aunt Li thought about it, didn't hesitate anymore, stepped into the door, ran to Aunt Zhou with crying, and said with a cry: "Aunt Zhou, you are very smart in the world, if you really have this thing, you will close your eyes." If someone else slanders you, you show some spiritual saints, and the master will definitely make decisions for you! ”

Aunt Zhou's face was pale, her eyes were wide open, and she looked dead! Aunt Li couldn't help but stomp her feet and cry again. Yu Meiniang knew that there was a thorn in Aunt Li's words, and smiled coldly on her face, and said: "What Aunt Li said, it seems that someone else has wronged her in vain, if she is sitting up straight, how can she let the master see that office coming out of her house?" How can you not wait for the master's punishment to be afraid of crime and seek short-sightedness? ”

Aunt Li didn't pay attention to it, but only cried: "Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhou, you are too good-hearted, you are an aunt, how dare you help your relatives ask for an errand, but now you have been slandered by others!" If you have any difficulties, if you come to consult with me, maybe I can get rid of you for you, and for the sake of your body, who can understand your hard work! ”

How could Yu Meiniang let her say that she was afraid of crime and short-sightedness, so she raised her eyebrows and said sharply: "Aunt Li, are you chewing your body here, what kind of person are you being a master, will you still wronged her?" ”

Aunt Li turned to look at Qiao Li, who was stunned, and said with grief and indignation in her eyes: "Master, Mrs. Shicai said that Aunt Zhou is not in the room, you also have to think about it, which thing does she love about Zhang's affairs, is it because of her good character, or is she plotting his money?" Although I said that I had not been in the door for a long time, I knew that Aunt Zhou had always been the most well-behaved person, especially when she treated you like the sea. As a woman, you are most afraid of people slandering her for these ugly things, do you believe that the blood in her abdomen is not the blood of the Qiao family, and let her not die as a body? I have another clear and clear word, if she is indeed an adulteress, she will not die. When she dies, she can be trusted to interpret her heart, but unfortunately she is dead, so what is the use of commenting on her heart! ”

Qiao Li listened to what she said, and suddenly became suspicious, and temporarily looked at the gloomy Yu Meiniang, and then looked at the weeping Aunt Li, who was serious, and didn't know who said the truth and who said the false, the decision in the officialdom in the past was confused by this messy family matter, and he couldn't say a word.

Qiao Siwan sighed, and seemed to be most soothing: "Since everyone is dead, what is the use of talking about who is who and who has a body?" Daddy, don't be sad, it doesn't look like people stop here, or you should pass the word down and ask someone to go and make the coffin. Just to tell them, in it said that Aunt Zhou was sick and died, don't gossip. After speaking, she said softly to Yu Meiniang, "Daddy was angry just now, why don't you persuade me, mother, and bring someone to resurrect to punish Aunt Zhou, it's actually beautiful to spread out!" Now that everyone is dead, you can debate who is right and who is wrong, first, to be disrespectful to the deceased, and secondly, she is the truth that her father gave to the peak, in case Lord Shangshu knows, misunderstanding Daddy is making a fuss and deliberately punishing Aunt Zhou is not beautiful......"

Qiao Li was shocked by these simple words, he was most looking forward to the child that Aunt Zhou was carrying, so as soon as he learned that this child was most likely not the bloodline of the Qiao family, he was immediately carried away by indignation, how could he forget that she was given by Lord Shangshu! Is it inappropriate to make her really have a body, and it is enough to deal with her secretly, and now she is forcing people to death so alive and spreading it out, doesn't it make Shangfeng think that he is dissatisfied with him and deliberately explode on the people he sent? Thinking of this, he was scared into a night sweat behind his back, and immediately became angry at Yu Meiniang, who teased him behind him to punish Aunt Zhou: "Why don't you persuade me for the sake of your body?" If you have a body, you have to make trouble to this level! ”

Yu Meiniang didn't expect the form to be the general trend, she tried her best to remove Aunt Zhou, thinking that she could make Qiao Li trust that what she did at the beginning was for the Qiao family to do her best, who knew that after Qiao Siwan said a few words, it didn't matter whether Aunt Zhou was uneasy in the room, but she was charged with affecting the official reputation of the master! She opened her mouth to argue, but she still endured this breath: "Master...... It's because I didn't pay attention to it temporarily, you can rest assured that I will take care of Aunt Zhou's funeral, and the matter will not reach the ears of Lord Shangshu. ”
