Chapter 25: Heart-to-heart
It was inconvenient to recuperate in the temple, so Wen Zifu and Cao's arranged for the family to return home.
Mrs. Gui and An Shi were both injured, and they were cautious and cautious on the road, so as not to touch the wounds and hurt their bodies again.
As a result, there was no "fanfare", and Lin'an Mansion went up the mountain to investigate the case yesterday, and soon, the news that the old lady's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in distress spread.
Wen Yan didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and returned to Xiyuan to catch up on sleep.
When I woke up and went out of the house, I saw Mama Huang sitting under the porch, holding a bowl for Ebony bibimbap.
"I'll eat first, and when the kitchen is empty, I'll catch two bigger fish."
Ebony screamed, aggrieved.
Wen Yan smiled when he heard this, and asked, "Busy in the kitchen?" ”
"No, everywhere is busy," Mama Huang said, "The second lady also did not touch the ground, first settled the old lady and the third lady, and then was busy dealing with the people who came to greet each family." ”
Wen Yan squatted down, rubbed the cat's neck, and said, "Are you really here to greet you?" ”
"The girl asked knowingly," Mama Huang smiled, "I heard that there are a few families who are obviously greetings, and they all want to inquire about things behind their backs, and it is difficult to make a smile for the second lady." ”
"It's all like this, there are always people who want to watch the play and look forward to it," Wen Yan said, "The second uncle and aunt are not timid, right?" ”
Mama Huang replied: "The girl has analyzed it clearly, no matter how false she is, she will not show timidity on her face." ”
"Yes." After Wen Yan finished speaking, he let go of Ebony and went to Changshou Hall to visit Mrs. Gui.
Bypassing the shadow wall, Wen Yan saw Qingzhu coming out of the main house.
Qingzhu is the eldest maid in front of the old lady, and there is An on weekdays, and the old lady rarely lets her approach.
Wen Yan saw that she was holding an empty bowl in her hand, so she asked, "Grandmother is awake?" ”
"Woke up," Qingzhu said, "just took the medicine." ”
Wen Yan entered the house until he sat down on the edge of the bed.
Old Madam Gui looked at her directly, as if she was looking at a stranger.
Wen Yan didn't mind either.
Their ancestors and grandchildren are "face kung fu", and she just needs to act in place.
First called "grandmother" twice with concern, she turned her head and asked Mama Liu: "Grandmother is still not sober?" ”
"I don't even recognize the slaves and maids." Mama Liu said.
Wen Yan sat for a while, and when he got the meaning, he was just about to withdraw, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and it turned out that Wen Kite was back.
Wen Kite cried into tears.
Old Madam Gui glared at her, and suddenly laughed again, laughing like crazy, quite scary.
Wen Kite's tears fell even more fiercely, she blamed the old lady for being eccentric, it can be seen that her grandmother is so uncomfortable.
Wen Yan comforted Wen Yuan with Mama Liu, and accompanied her to Changyuan.
Wen Kite was anxious, and when she went to her mother's bedside, she saw her unconscious appearance, and just stopped her tears and fell down.
An was wrapped in a white cloth on his forehead, and the blood stains were revealed, reflecting that face more and more pale.
"Third sister," Wen Yuan clasped Wen Yan's hand, suppressed her voice, and asked, "Is it really my mother who hurt my grandmother?" ”
Wen Yan pursed his lips: "Which one is talking nonsense to you?" ”
"It's all spread outside," Wen Yuan wiped away her tears, "you give me a word." ”
"You don't believe your mother?" Wen Yan asked rhetorically.
Warm kite choked.
She didn't know anything before, thinking that her grandmother and mother were in harmony, and when she got married, she slowly tasted it.
My mother has suffered a lot of grievances in front of my grandmother over the years, but she endured them one by one.
But there is a limit to patience after all, especially a few days ago, my mother found out that something was wrong with the money in the public school.
The whereabouts of the silver are unknown, Wen is angry, how can the mother not be angry?
The angry old lady is eccentric.
The ...... of the old and the new
"I believe it," pondered for a long time, and Wen Kite finally said, "I believe in my mother, and I believe that she will not do such evil things that are not in line with morality."
The third sister is a smart person, and it should be seen that my mother's relationship with my grandmother is not so good.
You say she's cowardly or cowardly, stabbing someone with a dagger is not something she would do.
I, as a daughter, can't help her feel more comfortable with her grandmother, but I want to prove her innocence.
She has endured it for so many years, and she won't be confused......
But she has to wake up, I hope she wakes up, if she doesn't wake up, it's hard to prove her innocence. ”
Wen Yan understood what Wen Kite meant.
In the face of the government, yes or no, that's neither!
It is related to the reputation of the Hou Mansion and the future of her children and grandchildren, and after Mrs. Gui sobers up, she will never talk about her own problems.
She can shake off cleaner than anyone else.
The government forced the yamen to chase the culprit, but there was no witness, and no one could press the charge on An's head.
But An's didn't wake up, and even died, and the yamen couldn't find the real murderer for a long time......
Outsiders will say that the old lady disposed of the murderous daughter-in-law and died of serious injuries.
You can't stop it.
As a daughter, Wen Yuan didn't want her mother to be charged with such a crime.
Wen Yan held Wen Kite's hand.
She knows what it's like for her parents to be wronged, and she compares her heart to her heart, and she knows Wen Kite's state of mind at the moment.
What's more, there is the fabric that Ebony has bitten off, and she knows An's innocence.
"Governor Li is not dedicated, and the second uncle is an official and a bitter master, so it is inconvenient to act," Wen Yan said, "The eldest sister will wait a few days, and there will be a way." ”
Wen Yuan understood: "You mean that the patrol is coming?" There is no evidence, just relying on us to shout, the yamen doesn't know where to arrest people? ”
"The bitter lord shouts injustice, the yamen arrests people, and you still have to shout," Wen Yan said, "If not, you can only wait for the third uncle and aunt to wake up." ”
Cao's family was free, came to Changyuan, and asked Wen Yuan when she would return to her mother-in-law's house, and she could make arrangements.
Wen Yuan turned her head and gritted her teeth and said, "Don't go back, his family said that my mother killed my grandmother, and if she doesn't divorce her wife, it's already a face, I rarely have this face?" ”
Not to mention Wen Yan's surprise, Cao's jaw almost fell.
After a long period of breath, Cao Shi eased up and said: "I'm an aunt, there are some things that are not easy to say, Sister Kite has taken the idea, so I will relax and live first, there are not many of these pairs of chopsticks at home, and when this is over, we will go to discuss the law." ”
Wen Yuan thanked him.
Cao's Zhang Luo asked people to clean up Wen Kite's original house, which was cleaned on weekdays, and it was still clean, but there was a lack of bedding and a handkerchief, so he had to dry it before the sun set.
When I came to report earlier, Wen Zifu came back with a message, saying that the inspector had entered the city, and he was busy with business, so he would not go back to the house for dinner at night.
Wen Yan looked at Wen Kite, and Huo Huaiding arrived earlier than expected.
Wen Yuan said: "The third sister will accompany me on a trip?" ”
Wen Yan should be served.
Cao Shi asked the two of them to be puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Let's go?" ”
"Yamen," Wen Yan replied, "to find the inspector to complain." ”
Cao's breath was smooth, and it was blocked again all of a sudden.
Where's that? Why did you get here all of a sudden? Can it be successful?
Wen Yan smiled at her: "Don't worry, you can't suffer a loss." ”
Cao sighed and replied twice, and when he came back to his senses, he had already sent the two sisters out.
She pressed her eyebrows, why was she led by Wen Yan by the nose in a daze?
"It doesn't matter, right?" Cao Shi hesitated and asked Mama Hu, "You said that she went to the yamen to complain, why did she still hold a cat?" ”
Mama Hu didn't understand: "The third girl is quite reliable, if she wants to go, there must be a saying." Besides, isn't there still Mama Huang following? ”
"Yes." Cao nodded thoughtfully.
As soon as Mama Huang appeared on the stage, she was too sharp.
Does she want to follow her and go to the world for a long time?
