Chapter 34: Weng's son-in-law drinks a cup
Aunt Qian knelt on the ground with her hair scattered, her eyes swollen into red peaches: "Master, Mrs., Sister Mei, Fifth Miss, are all made by concubines, and the concubine saw the golden strings in the front yard to release poisonous snakes into the left courtyard, and first thought about drinking it, but then somehow she was obsessed, thinking that if it was Miss Five, maybe this marriage would fall on Miss Four...... Because we were afraid that poisonous insects would crawl into our yard and hurt people, we let people buy realgar and sprinkle it in front of and behind the house...... The concubine knows it's wrong......"
The golden string in the front yard is the little guy who put snakes.
Tan Tongzhi was about to speak, but Zhou grabbed the front and shouted: "Other than that, what else do you have to recruit?" ”
"Madam, concubine ......" Aunt Qian looked at Zhou blankly, and then looked at Tan Tongzhi beggingly, trying to get some hints, but Aunt Mei didn't say anything, just stared at Tan Tongzhi coldly.
Tan Tongzhi simply turned around and walked out, indicating that he would not mix.
"None? If you think about it carefully, honestly tell me that I can still let you go in the old relationship, if you deliberately conceal it, hehe......" Zhou slowly scraped the tea foam, and the sneer on the corner of his lips was as sharp as a knife, "See, the master doesn't care about you, whether you leave or stay, I have the final say!" ”…… Concubine ......" Aunt Qian's eyes rolled in fright, and she hurriedly said, "Madam, the concubine remembered!" The concubine had quietly put croton powder into her water because she was jealous of Sister Mei before, but for some reason, the water was drunk by the concubine herself, and she pulled her stomach for three days, almost losing half of her life.
Because she was jealous of Miss Five, she pretended to be a ghost to scare her, but she happened to be with Miss Four, she was not scared, but Miss Four was scared and fell seriously ill, and the concubine also fell and fell because she was in a hurry to coax Miss Four.
Also, the concubine quietly drenched their firewood, wanting them not to open a small stove, but that day the north wind happened to blow, and all the smoke poured into the concubine's house, and the third young master happened to come to see the concubine, he thought it was a water, hurried to fight the fire, and broke his knee when he stepped on the air......"
Tan Youyou really couldn't help it, turned around and covered her mouth and snickered, listening to it like this, how did she feel that the most unlucky person was actually Aunt Qian, and the most vivid portrayal of stealing chickens and rice was this person.
"And when the fifth lady was three years old, I couldn't get used to seeing the lord favoring her, so I robbed her of the plum blossom cake while everyone didn't see it......" Aunt Qian turned over the matter of Chen Sesame and rotten millet and said it again, but she never saw any expression from Zhou and Aunt Mei, so she couldn't help but be anxious: "Mrs., Sister Mei, what is the matter, you are prompting the concubine!" ”
Zhou and Aunt Mei exchanged a look, and said sharply: "It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, let me ask you, how can you dare to do that witch curse because the master didn't tell the fourth lady about the family affairs of the Anle Hou Mansion, and the villain cursed the lord with a needle!" ”
"What? Cursed lord? How can it be! Aunt Qian was anxious, and waved her arms excitedly and said, "I didn't!" Concubines don't! No matter how partial the master is, he is also the dependence of the concubines, mother and son! The wife wronged the concubine! ”
Zhou sneered: "The puppets that the master personally searched in your house are all there, and you dare to deny them?" I wronged you? What do you have to do with me to dirty my hands and ruin my reputation with such indiscriminate means? ”
"The concubine really doesn't have it, the wife has to believe the concubine...... Aunt Qian cried and suddenly stopped, and after a moment of stunned, Mu Ran said: "The concubine remembered, it was the concubine who did it." ”
Zhou said lightly: "How do you make a puppet and why do it, tell me in detail." ”
"The concubine was jealous of the master's partiality with Sister Mei and Miss Five, so she made a doll and wrote the master's birthday on the puppet......" Aunt Qian fell to the ground and cried, unable to say any more.
Zhou stood up: "Okay, it's not you." ”
"Ma'am?" Aunt Qian was inexplicable, thinking about it, she caught up and hugged Zhou's legs, and cried: "It's made by the concubine, it's really ......"
Mrs. Zhang led someone forward and dragged Aunt Qian away.
Zhou held his head high and walked towards the main courtyard: "Bring the fourth lady for questioning!" ”
Tan Ruyi saw that it was in the clouds, and asked Tan Youyou in a low voice: "What's the matter?" Why can't I read it? Obviously, there is no birthday on the puppet, and my wife said that it was not made by Aunt Qian, why did she have to admit it? ”
Tan Youyou held Tan Ruyi's hand sympathetically: "I don't know, let's watch." ”
Tan Ruyi couldn't wait, and chased after Zhou to ask Zhou, and got a roll of Zhou's eyes, she had to ask Tan Zhijin aggrievedly, Tan Zhijin patted her head sympathetically, and said: "Mother is not wrong, you are really stupid." ”
Tan Ruyi was so angry that he stomped his feet, and Tan Zhijin raised his fingers: "Shh, the fourth sister has arrived." ”
Unlike Aunt Qian's embarrassment, Tan Ruhui was neatly dressed from head to toe, and when she saw Zhou, she squatted down and saluted, and said pitifully: "What does Mrs. want to ask?" ”
Zhou looked at Tan Ruhui expressionlessly, and did not call her up.
Tan Ruhui squatted and began to tremble, at first it was only a small tremor, but then the whole person trembled violently, almost unstable.
"Get on your knees!" Zhou said coldly: "Tan Ruhui, do you know the mistake?" ”
Tan Ruhui trembled like a leaf in the wind, choked with red eyes: "I don't know what my wife is talking about, if it means that the fifth sister was not reminded of the poisonous snake in time, I admit it, but I was also scared at the time, and I didn't mean to ......"
"What is this?" As soon as Zhou's chin raised, Mrs. Zhang threw the doll in front of Tan Ruhui.
Tan Ruhui's face instantly turned pale as paper, staring at the puppet for a long time, and said in a low voice: "It's a random gadget, it's nothing." ”
Zhou lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Okay, let's listen to what your maid Zhuzhi has to say." ”
The bamboo branch was pushed forward by the two rough envoys, knelt on the ground and cried: "Madam, two days ago, at noon, the slave maid and the fourth lady were walking in the courtyard, and I met the golden string in the front yard lying on the side of the left courtyard wall and didn't know what to do. Later, the fourth lady asked the slave maid to buy realgar and sprinkle it in front of the house and behind the house, saying that she saw a centipede, and specially told Aunt Qian not to let people clean the ......"
"Fourth Miss, is there anything else you want to say?" Zhou said lightly: "Although Aunt Qian recognized it for you, the master said that you must uphold justice, what is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong." ”
Tan Ruhui's face was expressionless, and she looked down at the ground without saying a word.
"You said that this thing on the ground is just a gadget sewn casually, but Aunt Qian said that she was jealous of the master's partiality and deliberately sewed the curse master...... By her own admission, I can't help it......"
Zhou deliberately dragged out his voice and put pressure on Tan Ruhui: "Now the master is very angry and wants to sell Aunt Qian......"
