Chapter 20: Shaking the Clever and Stabbing the Knife
"Foolishness? This is a family matter, why should it be called a housework? Mrs. Cai said sharply, she was a little strange, the mother-in-law outside should have stopped the maid, why didn't she come in to report it.
Hua Jingyao glanced at Mrs. Cai, she has lived two lives, she is a person who respects the old and loves the young, but she has no respect for Mrs. Cai at all.
Since there is no respect, then there is no need to feel distressed, if there is a knife and no stabbing, do you still want to keep it for the New Year?
"I came in in in a hurry, and forgot to tell the old lady that Grandma Sun and the other three mothers-in-law were guilty of bullying and stealing the coffin, and they had already been tied up at this time, and when the people from Shuntianfu came, they were sent to the official together. The old lady must not let them be angry, this kind of thing that is not as good as pigs and dogs will be handed over to the government, the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is upright, and it is impossible to dirty the threshold for a few dog slaves. Don't worry, old lady, Shi Yi went with the sign of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and the people of Shuntian Mansion will definitely handle it impartially. ”
Old lady, you are completely dead, no one outside can stop Xiao Ai at all, your mother-in-law who is five big and three thick is like frosted eggplant seedlings at this time, wilting.
Cai Bilian, who was standing at the door, was taken aback, just now she only saw Hua Jingyao and the big black man holding the coffin, and didn't see anyone else, she made a look, and the maid Lanzhi slipped out quietly.
Before Cai Bilian's hanging heart could be put down, Laneige came in again and whispered a few words in her ear, and Cai Bilian's face changed instantly.
The big girl beside Mrs. Cai, Red Sleeves, had been paying attention to the movement at the door, and when she saw Lanzhi going and returning, and seeing Cai Bilian's face, her heart sank slightly.
She was about to mention Mrs. Cai, when she suddenly saw Laneige, who had just come in, going out again.
Although the Cai family is known as a scholarly family, there are too many children and grandchildren, and there are too many people who gnaw on the old books of their ancestors, so life is not easy.
At present, the dark tide in the house is turbulent, if it is not a very special thing, Cai Bilian will not send Laneige out.
What else could be going on out there?
Red Sleeves' eyes fell on the small coffin, she didn't dare to look at the person in the coffin, although the fifth girl was still a child, but after all, she was a dead person.
Could it be that there is really something wrong with the death of the five girls? And Miss Cai also knows?
Red Sleeves suddenly remembered something, she looked at Hua Jingyao, and then at Cai Bilian, who was so calm, and hurriedly lowered her head.
At this moment, the voice of talking sounded outside the door, and then, the little maid guarding the door lifted the curtain, and a middle-aged man strode in.
The person who came was about forty years old, with a beautiful face, it was the eldest man Hua Yubo, and he was also the head of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Immediately behind the old man Hua is the eldest lady Lu.
When Mrs. Cai fainted just now, someone had already gone to report to Master Hua and Mrs. Lu.
"Mother, how are you?" As soon as Master Hua Da's words fell, he saw the coffin and Hua Jingyao standing next to the coffin.
Mrs. Lu also saw it, she was startled, but after all, she had been Mrs. Hou for a few years, and she had also seen the world, so she couldn't help but exclaim.
Mrs. Cai sighed, clutched her chest and said, "The fifth girl is dead, and the old body is extremely sad, and now the third girl says that she wants to report to the official, this is ...... It's good that the Hou Ye is here, the old man is old, and he is useless, and he can't let his granddaughter go to the ground, what am I still alive for? It's better to go with the five girls and go down to see your father. ”
Old Madam Cai's words, every word was bloody and tearful, and Hua Jingyao was almost moved.
Mrs. Lu's eyes fell on the face of the second wife, and when she saw that she was still standing at the door and refused to come, she glanced at her fiercely. The second wife raised her chin slightly, but her eyes looked away, as if she didn't see Mrs. Lu's cannibalistic gaze, what kind of score did Mrs. Hou put on, your background is not much higher than mine, if it weren't for the third master being favored by the eldest princess, who would the noble ladies in the capital take you in their eyes.
When Master Hua saw Sting and Hua Xiaoxi, his face sank like water, and he said, "Who are these two?" How can a foreign man be allowed to come in the back house? ”
Hua Jingyao sneered in her heart, do you know the people in the mansion? You know that these two are brought by me and belong to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and you still want to pretend here.
"They're not foreign men, they're what I brought with me, they're my guards, and they must be by my side to protect me wherever I feel dangerous." Hua Jingyao said coldly, her tone increased when she said the last two sentences, and sure enough, she saw that Master Hua's brows were furrowed even deeper.
"Dangerous place?" It was Mrs. Lu who spoke first, and she sneered, "Could it be that for the third girl, our Hua family is a dangerous place?" ”
Hua Jingyao nodded, her face full of the innocence of a twelve-year-old girl: "Isn't it dangerous where my sister died?" Someone killed my sister yesterday, maybe they will kill me today, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, Mrs. Lu, aren't you afraid? ”
In the past, Hua Jingyao always called Mrs. Lu her eldest aunt, but now her call "Mrs. Lu" is particularly harsh.
Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "What do I have to be afraid of? ”
Hua Jingyao said: "Also, my sister was killed, and only people like me who don't know who the murderer is are afraid." ”
If it is said the other way around, it is "you are not afraid, it is because you know that the murderer will not kill you, or you are the murderer".
However, Hua Jingyao did not suspect Mrs. Lu, and Hua Jinglin did not hinder Mrs. Lu and her children, Mrs. Lu could not take the many lives in her hands.
Who asked Mrs. Lu to ask for herself, if she has to shake her wit here, it will be disgusting and disgusting to her.
On the way here, Mrs. Lu had heard the messenger say, and she roughly knew what was going on, but before that, she only knew that the fifth girl died, as for how she died, since the doctor said that it was a poisonous bee sting, that is, a poisonous bee sting, but a child, these days, it is also common for children to die, not to mention that this fifth girl is not a concubine, there is such a person, and it will be troublesome for outsiders to ask in the future, it is just right to die, clean and clean.
But she didn't expect that Hua Jingyao would disgust her as soon as they met, could it be that she was suspicious?
Mrs. Lu blocked her heart in one breath, in front of Mrs. Cai and Master Hua, she couldn't attack on the spot, she had to stare at Hua Jingyao and sneer.
When Master Hua heard Mrs. Cai's words, he was already full of anger towards this niece who grew up outside, and saw that Hua Jingyao scolded Mrs. Lu indiscriminately, Master Hua's face sank like water, and he said to Hua Jingyao: "Nonsense! Didn't your father teach you to be righteous and honest? A girl who didn't go out of the cabinet, took the man in and out, and now collided with the elders, you ......"
"It's true that my father didn't teach me this, because I had my grandmother and mother to teach me, and my father was very relieved, and besides, how our family taught their daughters, I don't have to worry about it." Before Master Hua finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hua Jingyao.
Master Huada was stunned, did he hear it wrong? A junior, a junior of his own family, is still a little girl, and he dared to interrupt him, no, not only interrupted him, but also contradicted him.
It's no wonder that Master Hua was speechless for a while, because he had never encountered such a thing, and he had no experience!
He is the head of the family, in this family, except for Mrs. Cai, who dares to contradict him?
