Chapter Ninety-Three: Suspicion
Capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped.
The fifth lady already knew that she would not escape punishment today, but as long as she was alive, the rest was not a big deal.
She herself had eyes and no beads to collide with nobles, and she accepted the punishment.
"The concubine admits punishment! Please calm the old lady's anger! ”
"Huh! The old body can't see your foxy appearance who has been greatly wronged and still demands everything, come here, lock this woman in the Yun family ancestral hall, and send someone to slap her mouth for twenty every day to set an example! ”
Old Madam Yun didn't like the fifth lady's pretentiousness, but at this time, she was so emotional, it could be regarded as an informed, at least, she could save her life.
The most important thing is to be able to block Meng Jiao's mouth, so as not to let the Yun family's prestige be swept away.
The fifth lady was taken down, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the remaining ladies looked at each other, and after a while, they all ran out in unison, all of them accumulated tears, and cried in front of Mrs. Yun.
Old Madam Yun didn't like these warblers and Yanyan in the first place, but now she couldn't wait to send them down immediately.
It's just that, after all, these are also the concubines of the Yun family, and now that the daughter-in-law has just passed away, if she sells these people, she may not be considered to be mistreating relatives by the Yun family, which will damage the reputation of the Yun family.
"Alright, what kind of body is it to cry here! Don't get out with me yet! ”
Old Madam Yun spoke, and those concubines naturally came out one after another.
When everyone ran out, only Meng Jiao and his party were left in this small courtyard, as well as the old lady of the Yun family and the young lady of the Yun family.
"Today's house is unstable, which makes the little lady smile."
"The old lady is polite, the old lady is resolute, I admire it very much."
Old Madam Yun saw that Meng Jiao was not a simple person, and Meng Jiao also had her own understanding of this old lady who was over the age of old.
Sure enough, a woman who can teach the queen mother of a country, regardless of whether this teaching is successful or not, this ability alone is enough to show that this old lady is not a soft persimmon.
"Since the little lady is here to worship my daughter-in-law, please go into the mourning hall to take a look, the old man is a little tired, good child, you accompany the little lady to go in to worship for a while, I will go to the back to rest first."
"The granddaughter-in-law obeys the order, if the grandmother has any discomfort, she must send someone to tell the granddaughter-in-law."
Old Madam Yun nodded, patted the hand of the eldest young lady lovingly, turned around to greet Meng Jiao, and was helped out by the little maid who was waiting beside her.
Meng Jiao had time to take a closer look at this young lady Yun, the girls and daughters-in-law of the Yun family were beautiful, and Meng Jiao had already known this.
The Queen Mother is the best among the many girls, and Mrs. Xiao's beauty is said to be countable, this young lady of the Yun family, although Meng Jiao can't comment too much, she also thinks that this person looks beautiful and refined.
It's just that Meng Jiao always feels that this girl has too much sorrow in her heart, so that between her eyebrows, there are gloomy clouds that linger.
"I haven't seen the young lady yet, I don't know where the young lady is?"
"Back to the little lady, the concubine is the daughter of the Su family of Yundian weaving, and she has not yet met the little lady, please ask the little lady to receive the concubine gift, and the little lady is Jin'an."
The etiquette is thorough, and the advance and retreat are decent.
Meng Jiao smiled and picked up this young lady Su, and she had a number of people in her heart.
"Mrs. Su is polite, let's talk about business, let's not hide it, I also saw Mrs. Xiao who was in good health half a month ago, why did she die violently in just half a month?"
Meng Jiao asked bluntly, but this Young Lady Su did not show the slightest panic.
It's just that the gloomy cloud between the eyebrows is a little bleaker, and it falls in the eyes of others, probably because Meng Jiao asked about the sad place in his heart.
"The little lady doesn't know that the concubine's mother-in-law actually has an incurable disease, but she has been using good decoctions to warm her body for many years, so she has not shown any symptoms. The concubine body does not hide from the little lady, the father-in-law of the concubine body is a little ridiculous during this time, and the aunts in the house have also begun to make trouble, and the mother-in-law is probably worried and sad, so she will..."
In the end, Mrs. Su was already crying.
Meng Jiao frowned, this reason is reasonable, but there are also untenable places.
First of all, Mrs. Xiao has a good way of governing the family, if there is not an opportunity, these warblers and swallows in the house will definitely not be able to make waves.
Moreover, Meng Jiao had just met the head of the Yun family, although he didn't seem to be a long-term lover, but Mrs. Xiao died violently today, Meng Jiao could see that he was really sad.
Especially the Yun family, the head of the Yun family is not the kind of person who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife.
As for... Incurable disease, why didn't Yun Feng mention this incurable disease?
"Since Mrs. Xiao has long suffered from an incurable disease, it means that she has been sick, and she will not die as silently as she did today, Mrs. Xiao yesterday, or a few days ago, she invited a doctor to come and see her?"
"This concubine is not very clear, the concubine has not been in the house for the past few days, my grandmother came to Xin'er some time ago, saying that she was going back to the house to live for a period of time in these days, and the concubine had already gotten up and went to the Buddhist temple to greet her grandmother four or five days ago."
This is even if it is removing itself.
Meng Jiao nodded clearly, knowing in her heart that this young lady Su couldn't say anything meaningful in her mouth.
"I have had several relationships with Mrs. Xiao, and now, it can be regarded as a layer of in-law relationship, so I asked a few more words, and I would like to ask Mrs. Su Shao to accompany me in to take a look at Mrs. Xiao, which can be regarded as a piece of my heart."
Meng Jiao said this, and Mrs. Su Shao naturally agreed.
When I entered the mourning hall, I could indeed see that this was a hastily incomplete preparation.
However, Meng Jiao's attention was all attracted by the coffin that parked Mrs. Xiao's body, according to the custom of Dayan, when the housemother passed away, there was no need to cover the coffin when the house was parked for three days.
But this Mrs. Xiao has just passed, and the mourning hall has not yet been arranged, but this coffin, as prepared early, is safely loaded with Mrs. Xiao's body and parked in the center of the mourning hall.
"I came to worship Mrs. today, which is considered to be the friendship of the day, and please Mrs., go all the way."
Meng Jiao said goodbye, and Mrs. Su Shao asked her to bring the sacrificial wine, Meng Jiao spilled the wine, and the sacrificial ceremony was completed.
"After all, the mourning hall is not very good, since the little lady has already worshiped her mother-in-law, it should be lively now, and the concubine should let the little lady accompany her over."
"Thank you Mrs. Su for your thoughtfulness, by the way, I think this coffin is excellent, I don't know which one made it?"
