Chapter 28: Knowing the Truth
After interrogating Chen Yunling, the Bai family returned to the courtyard, and Huang Rong also followed.
"This Lady Ling looked like a clever and transparent person before, but she didn't expect to do such a pickled thing." Bai Shi sighed while resting with his head, his face full of sadness.
"Alas, what a child, it's a pity." Mama Liu said while rubbing Bai's temples.
"Why did you say You'er fell in love with her? Now it is better to give birth to such things. ”
Bai Shi said to himself, not noticing that there was another person in front of him.
Mama Liu saw that Huang Rong had been standing there for a long time, strange and pitiful, so she whispered softly in Bai's ear: "Niangniang, Miss Rong has been standing there for a long time. ”
Hearing this, Bai Shi noticed Huang Rong, she glanced at her tiredly and said, "What are you doing standing there, sit down." ”
"Thank you, Princess."
With permission, Huang Rong sat down, and then reached out and poured a cup of tea for the Bai family and handed it over.
Bai Shi didn't drink it immediately, but put it aside and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Seeing that the princess asked herself, Huang Rong spoke: "Rong'er saw that Niangniang was a little tired and had a lot of work, thinking about whether she could do something and share one or two ...... for Niangniang."
"Share?" Bai Shi thought silently in his heart, what is Huang Rong's intention, how can Bai not understand, why he is dozens of years older than her, this careful thinking can still be guessed, but it is not revealed on his face.
"Yes, Rong'er did a lot of wrong things before, but Rong'er already knew that she was wrong, and now that Mrs. Ling has done filth, she can't take care of the house, Rong'er thinks that it would be good if she could help." Huang Rong struck while the iron was hot.
Bai Shi thought about it, and felt that there was nothing to do, and there were some things that he sent someone to watch carefully: "Okay, just leave the housekeeper's affairs to you for the time being, if the previous things appear again, this time I will not spare them!" ”
"Yes, follow the teachings of the princess."
Seeing that the Bai family agreed, Huang Rong secretly rejoiced in his heart, although he wanted to go back immediately, he didn't dare to lose his courtesy, and sat with the Bai family for a while before leaving.
It is said that Chen Yunling was locked in the firewood room, and she couldn't help but be unhurried, and she was happy, she sat on the straw mat casually, picked up a few straws and tied grass dragonflies there.
When Xie Jieyou came to see her quietly, when she saw her appearance, she almost died of anger, she was anxious for her to burn the fire, tea and rice were uneasy, she was good, and she even had leisure and elegance to make some gadgets.
Xie Jieyou stepped forward, snatched the thing in Chen Yunling's hand, and reconfirmed that there was no one nearby, and then whispered: "It's all like this, everyone else is in a hurry for you, it's good for you, you are idle here, and you are still in the mood to have fun!" ”
Chen Yunling glared at Xie Jieyou, and reappeared to find a few straws and continue to weave: "What's the use of being anxious, if you come, you will be safe." ”
"You!" Xie Jieyou became angry when she saw her hanging appearance, and once again snatched the things in her hand and asked, "Whether you did that thing or not, I want to listen to the truth!" ”
"It doesn't matter if I did it or not, the point is that if I say I didn't do it, do you believe it?" Chen Yunling did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Of course I don't believe it, you and I have been together for so long, I believe you are not the kind of person who will do the next thing!" Xie Jieyou swore loudly.
Chen Yunling was taken aback by his voice: "Thank you for believing in the concubine, but can you be quieter, it will not be good if people hear it!" ”
Hearing this, Xie Jieyou also realized his gaffe, and coughed twice and was embarrassed for a while.
"This matter is indeed not done by the concubine, and there is no need to worry about me, the truth will come out soon." Chen Yunling looked at Xie Jieyou's eyes and said firmly, after speaking, she pushed Xie Jieyou hard to drive him back.
Xie Jieyou got the answer, although he didn't know what Chen Yunling was thinking, he felt inexplicably relieved in his heart, and asked a few more words, so he left quietly while no one was around.
On the second day, Xie Xionghui, the king of Jian'an, took his wife Bai to petition the Taoist priest's hall, first, to pay homage to the real person, but to thank the Taoist chief for the rituals he did at home yesterday.
It is inconvenient to publicize such a thing at home, the two of them casually took two small maids, set the car and left, the place said that it was far away and said that it could not enter, because it was located in the mountains, it took a bumpy road for half a day to reach the destination.
This hall doesn't look big, and there are not many people who come often, and when the two got out of the carriage, a small Taoist greeted them.
"I've seen two donors, but I don't know why they came here?" The little Taoist boy asked politely.
"There is Lao Xiaodao to pass on the word for us, we are people from the Jian'an Palace, yesterday your owner went to my house to do a ritual, and today I came to thank you." Xie Xionghui said politely.
"The tutor has a distinguished guest visiting now, please wait for a while."
Xie Xionghui listened, and he was not in a hurry, "It's okay, it's just that the little Taoist chief is troublesome, and the two of us will take a look in this hall first." ”
"Please, two of you."
The little Taoist leader led Jian'an Wang and his wife into the door and went to find his master, and he didn't see anyone for a long time.
The two worshipped the real person, offered the incense money, and then planned to go to the backyard to stroll, this hall is really small, the yard is casually planted with some flowers and grass, as if no one takes care of it, the weeds grow half a person tall, and the eyes are full of depression.
When Bai Shi saw this, she always felt that something was wrong, and felt uneasy, she pulled Xie Xionghui and suggested: "Lord, the concubine always feels uneasy, why don't we go back first and come back another day." ”
Xie Xionghui felt that it was nothing, and stretched out his hand to pat the back of Bai's hand and comforted: "Princess, be relieved, it's just a somewhat desolate courtyard, what can there be, and wait, wait until you see the Taoist chief before leaving, and you can save coming again next time." ”
"But the concubine always feels uneasy...... "Maybe it's a woman's sixth sense at work, Bai has a premonition in his heart that something unexpected will happen next."
Suddenly, the couple walked to a remote courtyard, saw that there was nothing to see, and just about to leave, they heard the sound of someone talking behind the rockery in the courtyard.
Xie Xionghui glanced at Bai Shi and motioned for her to keep quiet, and then the two of them bent their waists and gently walked to the side to hide and eavesdrop.
"Dao Chief, the people from the Jian'an Palace's Mansion are here, why don't you go and take a look?" A young voice came, and King Jian'an quietly looked over there through the crack in the stone, and saw that the little Taoist priest was talking to a person before.
The man sneered, and said, "Let them wait, for they will go if they are impatient." ”
"But, they seem to have come to thank you, wouldn't it be nice for us to hang them like this?" The little Taoist priest asked with some puzzlement.
Hearing this, the man didn't answer immediately, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but smile and came out, and when the man turned around, Xie Xionghui and the others saw his appearance clearly, it was actually the Taoist chief yesterday.
Xie Xionghui made a color to the Bai family and told her not to act rashly, and the Bai family understood, and the two continued to listen to the corner.
"It's strange to say that their family is also strange, the housekeeper is actually a concubine, but the lady is also restless, I heard that it was Miss Table's house before, and then somehow the housekeeping power came into the hands of the concubine, and I was called a resentment in my heart, I was able to come up with such a vicious idea of witchcraft, and it was also thanks to the fact that I had seen something about this when I traveled abroad, so I did it foolproof."
The little Taoist priest was taken aback when he heard this, "Master, wouldn't it be too immoral for you to do this?" ”
"Someone pays for such a big good thing, and if you don't do it for nothing, you don't do it......"
Hearing this, the reason for this is that everyone can guess one or two of them, and they were put on the spot, although Xie Xiongfei and the others were angry, they couldn't directly arrest people.
Xie Xionghui forced himself to calm down and sort out his thoughts, he always felt that there must be something hidden in this, if he simply hated Chen Yunling for taking the right to be a housekeeper, Huang Rong would not want to give her such a big hat, unless there were other secrets in the middle.
Thinking of this, Xie Xionghui immediately sent someone to check the ins and outs, while the couple planned to go back first and then make plans.
In fact, as soon as the two of them went out on the front foot, the back foot bean paste quietly slipped to the firewood room to report the situation.
"Miss, everything is ready! I just have to wronged you, Miss. Dou Rong reported.
"Well, everything is according to the plan, don't worry about me, they don't dare to do anything to me, it's just to be locked up for a day, and when the prince hears those words, he will definitely be suspicious." Chen Yunling was analyzing the Tao.
Dou Rong knew her young lady's plans, but she was still a little uneasy: "There is also news from Chunyi, saying that Huang Rong has obtained the right to be a housekeeper from the princess again, and I am worried that she will come over to find fault." ”
When Chen Yunling heard this, she pursed the corners of her mouth contemptuously: "It's okay, the soldiers will cover the water and cover the earth, I hope she can do something." You go first, and tell Chunyi to continue staring. ”
It was inconvenient for Dou Rong to stay for a long time after receiving the order, firstly, because she was afraid that someone would find out that she had ruined her plan, and secondly, she had to always pay attention to the direction of the wind and the every move of those people, so as to pass on the news to Chen Yunling.
is worthy of being a person who has been running officialdom for decades, Xie Xionghui is not a vegetarian around him, and as soon as the carriage of the two entered the city gate, the people sent there had already found out the news.
Xie Xionghui looked at the news sent by the flying pigeon, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, "Okay, you Aunt Wu, you dare to carry this king behind your back and have a leg with your eldest brother!" ”
When Bai Shi heard this, he was also taken aback: "Lord Wang, is this true?" ”
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, I'll know when I go back to the house and review it first. This time, I wronged Mrs. Ling, so I went back to the house immediately and released the person. Xie Xionghui said.
After speaking, he clenched the note in his hand tightly, and looked sideways at the outside of the carriage, his expression was hidden in the darkness, and he looked a little scary.
