Chapter 45: Questioning
Hearing this, Chu Jiayin realized what the problem was, "How can the second brother have a little strawman?" Someone else must have done it! I have to go to his house several times a day, except for the desk, bookcase, and wardrobe, there is more than a bed, where is there a place to hide that kind of thing? ”
After a pause, Chu Jiayin added as if deliberately exculpating Chu Jingyan: "Even if the bookcase, wardrobe and under the bed can be hidden, it is impossible, I have looked through it, and there is nothing!" I didn't go to his place for the past two days, but when he came back from outside, he was with us, and he didn't have anything with him. ”
Speaking of which, Chu Jiayin slapped the futon as if he woke up, and said, "The second brother doesn't go out on weekdays, and there is no one around to serve him, where can I find a little strawman?" The straw man is made of straw, and there is no straw in the house! The second brother must have been wronged! No, I have to go to my grandmother! ”
Before Peach Blossom could say anything, she saw Chu Jiayin rushing off the bed as if she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to grab something to eat. However, because of his physical discomfort, he just got out of bed and fell soft.
Peach Blossom hurriedly helped her back and said, "Girl, be careful." Don't worry, I'll go to Fu'an Hall to take a look, and I'll come back and tell you if something happens. You must stop moving, and if you get sick with a cold outside, I'm afraid that the people outside will say it again. said the second son, I resent the Chu family for thinning him and torturing you. ”
What is this? Chu Jiayin was speechless.
"Then you go and come back quickly!"
"Great!"
Fu'an Hall.
Chu Jingyan, who was escorted up by the little girl, looked at Mrs. Chu, and no one lost the momentum of the two sides.
"Anyway, what's going on?" Old Madam Chu threw those talismans and villains in front of him, took the tea sent by the maid, and wanted to interrogate him slowly.
Chu Jingyan didn't even look at it, and said, "I don't know when they appeared in my house." ”
The dirty things on the ground were found in Chu Jingyan's closet when I was a child. Before Mrs. Chu took people into the house to search, Chu Jingyan had just changed her clothes and looked at the cabinet, but there were no villains and talismans at all.
Most likely, these things were done by the little maids who came to search his house.
Chu Jingyan glanced around indifferently, and raised his eyebrows. No, there's one less person in this room.
There were a total of five people in the little maid who had just followed Mrs. Chu to him, and the maid was six, and now there was one less maid.
"Don't know?" Old Madam Chu snorted, obviously not believing him.
Chu Jingyan said unhurriedly: "If this kind of thing of stabbing a villain behind his back can really be indirectly tortured to another person, then almost everyone in this world has someone who wants to take revenge, so everyone has learned this villain, isn't there a few people who are not hated by others standing upright?" ”
"Sure enough, it's clever and eloquent, Yinyin follows you, and sooner or later you will be taught badly!" Old Madam Chu looked gloomy.
Chu Jingyan snorted coldly, and said confidently: "I didn't ask Miss Six to learn from me. ”
"You!"
"Whether the old lady believes it or not, I can only say that I don't know how to pierce the villain, which will make the villain's counterpart uncomfortable. Besides, I have no grievances with Miss Six, and I don't need to do this villain's act to persecute her body. Even if she used to embarrass me everywhere, but I sent people under the fence and relied on the Chu family to support her, it is right to suffer a little crime to make the young lady happy. ”
"Besides, I'm not so small as to worry about a little girl of a few years!"
After Chu Jingyan said this, he couldn't help but think of the little fairy who fell asleep on the swing yesterday. During this period of time, Chu Jiayin has given him too much face, and he has almost forgotten that there is a difference between respect and inferiority between them.
"What's the matter with the wound on your face, the wound on Yinyin's face?"
The stinky Taoist priest who told Old Lady Chu that Chu Jiayin had fallen for the evil spell said that there would be similar scars on the body of the person who practiced the evil spell and the person who fell for the evil spell.
This scar......
Chu Jingyan forgot that he and Chu Jiayin got into the flowers of Murong Mansion and were scratched by the thorns. It's all a trivial injury, and if the old lady's people come two days late, I'm afraid they won't be able to see the mark.
He thought about it for a while, but he didn't think about it, what was wrong with this small injury on his face and Chu Jiayin's face?
The old lady specially pointed it out, did she blame him for not taking good care of Miss Six, or did she mean something else? Chu Jingyan carefully observed the old lady's expression, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and his mind was clear.
I'm afraid it means something else, and it has something to do with the evil magic involved when he was captured today.
"Miss Six was playing in the garden of Murong Mansion, and she had to hide in the flowers, and when I found her, she was all in the flowers and asleep. In order to bring her out, I also got into the flowers, and I was injured by the flower thorns. As for the injuries on Miss Six's face and neck, they were also from those flower thorns. Chu Jingyan told truthfully.
Old Madam Chu's face was solemn, and she didn't seem to believe it.
"Really?"
"Yes!" Chu Jingyan had a clear conscience.
Old Madam Chu squinted her eyes again, looked at the unfortunate places on the ground, and asked, "What about these things, don't you plan to explain them properly?" ”
"I said I didn't know how to tie a villain. None of this stuff is mine. I don't know if the old lady found out, the people who just followed you to Linglong Pavilion have a total of six women and five men, and now there are only five men and five women left. I wonder if you told someone to leave, or if the person ran away on his own? ”
Old Madam Chu looked at the ten people, and when she looked at Chu Jingyan again, she sneered: "Hmph! The people I brought with me were clearly only ten people, five men and five women, and they were the people in front of me. These people are all henchmen of the old body, you don't sow discord! ”
It seems that no matter how he explains today, he will not be able to get rid of his responsibility.
Maybe the old lady didn't really want to find out anything, she just couldn't get used to seeing Chu Jiayin getting so close to him, and she couldn't persuade Chu Jiayin, so she could only use other means to separate the two of them.
Whether this method is absurd or not.
"If the old lady doesn't believe me, I have nothing to say."
Chu Jingyan has long been accustomed to not being taken seriously and being oppressed everywhere over the years.
According to the meaning of the Chu family, he was raised as the son of a servant, if it weren't for the fact that the uncle of the Chu family accepted him as a righteous son, the Chu family would probably send him to sweep the floor and do chores. Not even a chance to read.
In other words, he Chu Jingyan is in the Chu family, but he is just a servant-like cheap life, with the false name of a second young master!
His cheap life is very noisy, blocking the light to the orthodox heirs of the other Chu families, and the scenery is infinite, and he has been praised countless times by outsiders. On the surface, the Chu family looks at him, the first genius in the capital, but in fact, I'm afraid they want to hate him, right?
hated him, and the orthodox heirs of the Chu family were dimmed. And he, a guy who has always won glory for the Chu family, may not know when he will be recognized by his parents, and the Chu family will only end up raising a teenager for more than ten years.
There are indeed people in the world who know how to repay kindness, but the Chu family does not believe that Chu Jingyan is this kind of person.
"Come on, put Chu Jingyan in the firewood room!" Old Madam Chu said.
As soon as the words fell, three small servants stepped forward and set up Chu Jingyan.
Chu Jingyan's face was strangely calm, not at all like the bearing that a young man can have. He is like a bottomless ancient well, which makes people unable to figure out his mind and see his bottom clearly. In front of people, he always maintains a cold look, without joy or sorrow.
Such an elusive Chu Jingyan, how could Old Lady Chu be so vigilant for the Chu family, how could she easily believe that he was a good person?
There are not many generous people in the world, who wants to raise an outsider who will take the good fortune of their children and grandchildren? Just like Old Madam Chu didn't want Chu Yun to enter the door and take away a cent of her baby Yinyin's glory, Old Madam Chu was not happy that Chu Jingyan, an outsider, would take possession of half of what should belong to the Chu family.
In her eyes, when Chu Jingyan, a young wolf, grows up, it is very likely that he will be more dangerous than Chu Yun, and the Chu family may be destroyed by him.
I have to guard against it.
Fu'an Hall was empty, and Old Madam Chu sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the cold tea.
Peach Blossom hid outside and listened to the movement for a long time, and was shocked when she heard that the old lady was going to lock the second young master in the firewood room. turned around, quietly turned into the path, and hurriedly ran towards Linglong Pavilion, rushing to deliver a letter to Chu Jiayin.
Chu Jiayin's temperature was a little better, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around.
She was too tired to move, or maybe she didn't want to move some time ago. The longer I move now, the more comfortable my body seems to be.
Chu Jiayin walked out of the bedroom, went outside to breathe a breath of fresh air, and before he could catch his breath, he saw Peach Blossom rushing over, as if the fire had burned his buttocks.
"Peach Blossom, go slowly!" Chu Jiayin took a step back to avoid colliding head-on with Peach Blossom.
Her current body can't withstand the toss, and she may fall down at the slightest touch, and she can't withstand the impact of Peach Blossom's body as high as her head.
Peach Blossom stopped, slowed down, and said, "Girl, it's not good." ”
"What's wrong? Am I not alive and well? Chu Jiayin froze for a moment, and then remembered what she was doing when she asked Peach Blossom to go out, and even she was in a hurry.
"But what about the second brother? How's it going, grandmother didn't embarrass him, did she? ”
Chu Jiayin stepped forward to smooth the peach blossom and asked her to hurry up, panicking as if she had lifted seven or eight buckets, up and down.
"Second Young Master, he...... He, he was ...... by the old lady Locked up in the firewood room. Peach Blossom stammered, and it took a long time to finish a complete sentence.
"What?" Chu Jiayin was shocked, "How could my grandmother lock up the second brother in the firewood room without checking it out?" What kind of little straw man and talisman can't take people at all. Grandmother is really old and confused! ”
Peach Blossom finally relieved her breath at this time, and spoke a lot more fluently: "I see that the old lady doesn't want to find out at all, she just wants to find an excuse to take the second son away from you." ”
"Why?" Chu Jiayin didn't understand.
"Why, because you're too close to him."
Chu Jiayin was blocked for a moment and said, "But the second brother really taught well." Grandmother has always understood righteousness, why ...... this time"
