Chapter 133, looking for help, Aunt Xiang!
Qu Moying didn't stop and walked in.
The Buddha hall is not big, there are only three Buddha statues, one of them is the largest, two are smaller on both sides, there are several futons in the Buddha hall, and there is a woman kneeling on one of them, according to the rare pale white hair color, a coarse cloth dress, kneeling there quietly, hearing the footsteps of Qu Moying coming in, and not looking back.
"Are you Aunt Xiang?" Qu Moying looked at this somewhat familiar back and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, who are you, not from this house, how can you come here?" Aunt Xiang didn't reply, she still knelt in front of the Buddha and said coldly.
"I'm the fourth lady of Qufu." Qu Moying replied.
After Aunt Xiang was silent for a while, she slowly turned her head and looked at the door.
She was a middle-aged and beautiful woman of about forty years old, but she looked very old, and her hair was actually half white, which made her look ten years older.
looked at Qu Moying with a moving expression, and his eyes fluctuated.
Qu Moying standing at the door was petite, and the long veil covered her face and covered her complexion, but even so, seeing this long veil, Aunt Xiang was still excited, sure enough, it was the child, and only that child would always wear the veil.
Eye disease, if it weren't for eye disease, this child would not still be wearing an eye veil by now.
"You...... Are your eyes not good yet? Aunt Xiang settled down and asked with concern.
Qu Moying stepped on the light at the door and entered, quietly walked to Aunt Xiang's side, knelt down on the futon on her side, and shook her head gently.
When Aunt Xiang saw her coming, she held the futon to get up, as if she wanted to salute her.
Qu Moying stretched out his hand and pressed her: "Aunt Xiang, I know about you, my cousin told me about it in the past, my cousin said that the letter you sent is gone, it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself, and you don't need to suffer until now." ”
Aunt Xiang is the dowry of Mrs. Ling Anbo's Da Yue clan, and unlike Mama Zhou, after she got married, she was opened by the Da Yue clan and became Ji Yongming's concubine.
Ling Anbo originally had two concubines, and later he was also mentioned as a concubine, plus Aunt Xiang has a total of three concubines, which is a small number of sons in the family in Beijing, and the reason why this Aunt Xiang can mention the concubine room is also the meaning of the Da Yue clan, she doesn't want Mrs. Ji to control the two concubines and fight against her.
That's why there is Aunt Xiang.
Although Aunt Xiang is an aunt, the most loyal is her master, Da Yue.
also helped the Da Yue clan deal with Mrs. Ji's difficulties, and protected the Da Yue clan wholeheartedly.
But even so, Mrs. Ji still doesn't like her daughter-in-law, and sometimes she will embarrass the Yue family.
The Da Yue clan married into Ling Anbo's mansion and only gave birth to two daughters, and had no heirs, which made Mrs. Ji extremely dissatisfied with this, and wanted to find another innocent woman for Ling Anbo as a concubine, and even had the idea of letting Ji Yongming marry a flat wife, so that the one who was born was also a concubine.
Ling Anbo loved his wife and had no intention of marrying again, so he deduced that he already had three concubines, and it was inconvenient to have more, so he pushed Mrs. Ji's meaning again and again.
When Da Yue was seriously ill, Ji Yongming was not in the capital, he was still in the frontier, Da Yue's letter to see Ji Yongming for the last time was sent by Aunt Xiang, but Ji Yongming did not see the letter, and then Ji Yongming returned to Beijing, also after Da Yue's death, for which Aunt Xiang was scolded by Mrs. Ji, and she blamed herself.
After the death of the Otsushi clan, he invited himself to come here to guard the Buddhist hall, and on the other hand, he also repented of his sins in order to seek forgiveness from the Otsushi clan.
It has been three years since she entered the Buddha Hall, and until now, she has not wanted to come out again.
Before Ji Hanyue married into the East Palace, she once said that she wanted to invite Aunt Xiang out to help the Xiao family preside over the internal affairs of the Ji Mansion, but Aunt Xiang herself said that she was unwilling, saying that her heart had died with the Da Yue clan, and she was so good that the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha was very good, and she was unwilling to appear in front of everyone again, and she was disheartened about everything.
After Ji Hanyue came to persuade several times, she had no choice but to retreat.
"Aunt Xiang, my cousin said that she believed that you wrote the letter, and she also knew that you must want your uncle to come to see your aunt for the last time, but this letter is gone, it is not your reason, it must be the meaning of the second lady, if she withholds this letter, no one in this house will know."
Qu Moying said.
In the past, she didn't understand, so she didn't think that Xiao would withhold this letter, but now she understands everything.
Withholding the letter, the mother can't see her father, and the responsibility for this matter falls on Aunt Xiang, Aunt Xiang will inevitably be punished, and she will deal with both the mother and Aunt Xiang at once, as for the other two concubines who have been raised from the Tongfang Yahuan, they have always been in the hands of Mrs. Tai and her, and they can do whatever they want.
Since then, the big house has nothing to do with the affairs of the housekeeper, which also makes himself and his father have not been clear about the plans of the second room, and they have been kept in the dark.
"Yes...... What does the second lady mean? Seeing what she said with such affirmation, Aunt Xiang couldn't help but believe it a little, and her expression was overwhelming.
"Yes, my cousin said that she found these, and originally said that she would continue to check them, but ...... But she had an accident when she just married into the East Palace, and then ...... Later, it was said that something happened to my uncle and cousin, and now my uncle is dead, but ...... But Ji Fu has never let me and my cousin see my uncle's remains, I wonder if there is a problem here. ”
Qu Moying bit her lip sadly, and her voice choked up unconsciously.
She won't say that there is a problem with Ji Hanyue's death, that is not something that Aunt Xiang can touch at this stage, for now she only asks about her father's death and her sister's accident.
"What...... Miss Three also had an accident? Aunt Xiang's face changed greatly.
"Aunt Xiang doesn't know?" Qu Moying was slightly stunned, she really didn't expect this, and asked tentatively, "Then Aunt Xiang knows that her uncle was gone yesterday?" What happened to the crown princess before? ”
"I know about the princess and uncle, but ...... But the third lady ...... I don't know about the third lady! Aunt Xiang's voice trembled, the look on her face became excited, she reached out and grabbed Qu Moying's hand, and asked urgently, "When did the third miss have an accident?" What happened, and where did she go? ”
"I don't know, it's rumored that my cousin died of a serious illness, but because of the collision between my cousin and the prince's wedding, this matter was not publicized and was hastily buried, but there are other rumors in the family, saying ...... said that my cousin eloped with someone, but my cousin was only ten years old! ”
Qu Moying's voice also trembled and became excited unconsciously.
My sister, who is only ten years old, has been living in the backyard, and actually eloped with someone? This kind of thing happened in a fidelity that was really a joke, and she wouldn't believe it anyway.
"Impossible, impossible, they said they would take good care of the third lady, impossible, impossible!" Aunt Xiang said with a panicked expression, let go of her hand, and shook her head anxiously.
"Who are they?" Qu Moying immediately grasped the most critical point, and asked anxiously, isn't there a reason why he doesn't know here.
"Mrs. Tai and Second Lady, I have been guarding the Buddha Hall for Mrs. for three years, and after three years, I also want to go out to take care of the eldest lady and the third lady, but what Mrs. Tai and the second lady mean, if I go out now, it will not be good for the eldest lady and the third lady, the eldest lady will marry into the East Palace, and the third lady will have to stay in the boudoir, is it difficult for me to be a negligent aunt and still be able to take care of the eldest lady and the third miss?"
"They asked me to continue to stay in the Buddha Hall, to give the eldest lady and the third lady a good reputation, saying that if I go out, I must help the second lady to take care of the house, an aunt in charge of the house is always not good, it is better to guard the lady here with peace of mind, as for the third lady, the second lady said that she will take good care of her."
Aunt Xiang said word by word.
"That's why you repeatedly rejected your cousin's kindness and asked you to leave the temple?" Qu Moying asked in a trembling voice.
"I'm just an aunt, and I'm a negligent aunt, but this must be the uncle's house, the big house is right, if I come out, although I can't be in charge of all the affairs in the house, but I must also need to help the second lady take care of things, I used to help the lady manage things, since I am in charge, I also need to take care of the affairs of the third lady, compared to having a wife in charge, by me, the concubine, the reputation of the third lady is not good."
Aunt Xiang also understood at this time, and slowly explained the reason for the matter.
Qu Moying felt a cold coldness in his heart, so these things were prepared early, and the second room had this meaning early on.
Stretched out his hand to take Aunt Xiang's hand, pulled her up from the futon, and said with a straight face: "Aunt Xiang, I suspect that my cousin's matter is wrong, and I also suspect that my uncle's death is also due to another reason, but at the moment, neither I nor my cousin have the ability to let Ji Fu open the coffin for inspection." ”
They are the younger generations, speaking of which are the closest relatives of the Da Yue clan, although they are also relatives of the Ji Mansion, but they are not the close relatives of the Ji Mansion, and the only one who can help them now is Aunt Xiang, after all, Aunt Xiang is not only the mother's dowry ring, but also the father's concubine, the righteous concubine.
"They...... Do they dare to murder their uncle? Aunt Xiang was stunned.
"If something is wrong with my cousin, if my uncle is fine, why don't you investigate? But it's very strange that the time of my cousin's accident is similar to that of my uncle's accident, and it seems to be the same time, and now as soon as my cousin has an accident, my uncle will be gone immediately, and Ji Fu hurriedly closed the coffin and made a conclusion, not daring to let people see it, which is really suspicious. ”
Qu Moying analyzed.
Aunt Xiang had already understood what Qu Moying meant, gritted her teeth angrily, and said with red eyes: "If this matter is really different, I won't let them hurt Uncle and Third Miss, Miss Biao, I'll go to the mourning hall now." ”
Qu Moying nodded, knowing that this was the best, if this matter went on according to normal thinking, the next thing that Ji Fu would deal with was Aunt Xiang, and it would be a disaster to leave Aunt Xiang behind.
In the past, you could stay for fame, but now that the big house is empty, there is no longer a need......
While she wants to expose it, she can't let Aunt Xiang go to a dead end......
