Chapter 43: Planning
In the middle of the night, the fire in the main room had been completely extinguished.
Mrs. Xue stood in the courtyard, looking at the mess all over the yard, and the girls and mothers-in-law who were busy cleaning up coming and going, and she only felt that there were mixed tastes.
She didn't feel any sleepiness at all.
The lights were bright, and the girl was busy in an orderly manner, not daring to make a little sound.
Mrs. Xue's face was gloomy, she thought that the pain of losing her son was already the biggest grief in her life, but she didn't expect that there would be more sad things.
If even Ah Ling can't keep it, what face does she have to face her son under Jiuquan.
Today's events, Mrs. Xue already has a number in her heart, her daughter-in-law Jiang Yue behaves perversely, and there are many dissatisfaction in the clan, this fire must be coming for the Jiang family, but Mrs. Xue never thought that even A Ling and a little girl can't tolerate it now.
The sound of footsteps interrupted Mrs. Xue's thoughts, Mrs. Xue looked at the person who came, and Mama Qiu walked over slowly.
Old Madam Xue said, "But what's the matter?" ”
Mama Qiu stopped, "I disturbed the old lady, but there are some things I want to report to the old lady." ”
Old Madam Xue also knew that if it weren't for the urgency, Mama Qiu would never look like this.
Mama Qiu hesitated how to speak, so she stopped talking.
Old Lady Xue couldn't help but put away her expression and asked, "What the hell is going on?" To put it bluntly, at my age, I have lost my husband and children, and I have already stepped into the coffin board with one foot, and there is nothing I can't stand it, if you want to hide it, you shouldn't be. ”
Mama Qiu has been with Mrs. Xue for so long, and knows that Mrs. Xue is good at forbearance, since the eldest lady is seriously ill, she is still struggling on the surface, but she is sad behind her back, but she has never said it so sadly.
Mama Qiu was afraid that Mrs. Xue would not be able to think about it, so she first comforted, "Old lady, don't think like this, the third girl escaped death, the fourth girl is frail and sick, and the little bit of blood left by the eldest lady is still waiting for you to take care of it, if you are overwhelmed, the two girls are so young, who can you expect to go?" ”
Old Lady Xue's expression tightened, and then she sighed, "What you said is that your eldest lady is so impatient, she has no scheming, how can she be their opponent, no matter what, I have to cheer up and protect Ah Ling and Yan'er from being bullied." ”
said and sighed, "Tonight's matter, it is clear, they have their own selfish intentions, although it is against the Jiang family, but even Ah Ling does not let go, it really makes me cold, especially I have already told me in private, the Jiang family's affairs will be discussed with several elders in the clan, they are still so impatient, after all, I am too kind, I have lived for most of my life, and I have worked hard for the Xue family, if I can't even protect my granddaughter, wouldn't it be in vain." ”
Mama Qiu hurriedly said, "Exactly, my mother-in-law looks at the third girl and feels distressed, and the second master is only thinking about the Xue family's medical books,"
Stopped, "Old lady, I'm talking too much, the Xue family's medical books are about inheritance, and they are really important, I just feel sorry for the third girl." ”
Old Lady Xue's eyes were deep, and she was silent for a long time, "The inheritance of the Xue family is indeed important, but Ah Ling is even more important. ”
This sentence, Mrs. Xue thought about it for a long time before she spoke, since she spoke, this sentence has already indicated her future choice, and she will put Xue Ling in the first place.
And Xue Ling doesn't know now.
Mama Qiu hesitated for a moment, then picked up an object and handed it to Old Lady Xue, "Old lady take a look at this thing." ”
Mrs. Xue took it, but it was a small incense burner, and some incense residues in it came into view.
Old Lady Xue's hand bones holding the incense burner tightened.
The fire was attacking inside and out, and the incense burner was placed near the doors and windows.
It stands to reason that everything near the doors and windows will be burned out.
But this incense burner was splashed with half a furnace of water by Xue Ling.
The incense was soaked thoroughly, and then the fire spread, the water in the incense burner was dried, and the incense burned again, but because it had been soaked in water for too long, the incense could not be completely burned, and now there was a little residue left in the furnace.
This was what Xue Ling expected.
She chose to splash water at that time, instead of extinguishing the incense in other ways, just to leave evidence for Mrs. Xue.
Xue Ling instructed Jiang's mother to first describe the scene in front of Mrs. Xue, and every word alluded to hypnosis, which aroused Mrs. Xue's suspicions.
In this way, Mrs. Xue will definitely no longer trust anyone, and choose to do it herself, so how can she cut off the opportunity for the third aunt to destroy the evidence.
Even if Mrs. Xue didn't find out about this incense in the end, then as long as Mrs. Xue had doubts in her heart, she would never trust Sanfang as much in the future as she did at the beginning.
Xue Ling was unconscious at the moment, but now all the developments were in her planning.
Even if there is an occasional deviation, it will not be too far off.
That's why she jumped into the pond with confidence.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Xue saw this residue, her face changed, "Sure enough, it's incense." ”
Old Mrs. Xue had already expected it, and when she saw the real thing at this moment, she couldn't tell what it would feel like.
She was so sad and sad that a smile appeared on her lips, "Good, good, good." ”
She said yes three times in a row.
One voice is more than Ling Ran.
Mama Qiu watched from the sidelines, not daring to echo.
After a while, Mrs. Xue sighed with emotion, "I really didn't expect that a fire would make so many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods surface." I didn't know that they had come to this field ruthlessly and unjustly for a seat. ”
Mama Qiu said, "Old lady," she wanted to persuade her, but she couldn't speak.
I saw Mrs. Xue wave her hand, "Take this down." ”
Mama Qiu was stunned, "The old lady hasn't seen it yet, don't you want to see what the ingredients of this incense are?" ”
Old Madam Xue shook her head, in fact, when she saw this incense burner, she had already determined something, and it didn't matter what kind of ingredients were in it. "No need, Jiang said that Ah Ling only has burns and frostbite, and I think this is hypnotic incense."
Mama Qiu is the girl of the Qiu family, who has followed Mrs. Xue since she was a child, and when she saw this incense, she guessed that it must be the handwriting of the third wife, Qiu.
She asked tentatively, "How should the old lady choose?" ”
Mrs. Xue just said, "There is a difference between matters and relatives. ”
The voice was loud, and without hesitation, Mama Qiu immediately understood what Old Lady Xue meant, and she took the incense burner and prepared to retreat.
Old Madam Xue suddenly said, "Put it away!" You personally watch what is going on here, and I'll go see Ah Ling. ”
Mama Qiu agreed and went.
Xue Ling was still asleep at the moment.
When Mrs. Xue entered, Jiang Yue was treating the burns in Xue Ling's hands.
