Chapter 70: Plans Change
Liangyu was twisted by two old women to Mrs. Song's room, and as soon as she opened the door, she was pushed in. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Liangyu staggered forward a few steps and did not stand firmly, and lay on the cold floor.
"Old lady NoNo" Liangyu looked up and saw that Old Lady Song was sitting on the main seat reciting Buddhist scriptures, and a string of Buddhist beads made of Bodhi seeds was slowly reincarnated in her hands.
"Liangyu, what is the purpose of an old lady inviting you over today, do you know it in your heart?" Old Madam Song didn't speak, and Mama Li, who was waiting beside her, spoke first.
Liangyu looked at Old Madam Song, who was still with her eyes closed, and slowly shook her head.
"You really don't know?" Mama Li sneered, "If it was the old lady who asked you later, it wouldn't be so polite now." “
When Liangyu heard this, her body trembled in fright, and she tried to curl up as much as possible, as if she wanted to isolate herself from danger. "Mama, little, little I really don't know what you're talking about"
"If you can't hear Mama Li's words clearly, then I'll ask you in an old body," Old Madam Song said at this time, her voice was as unhurried as usual, and she didn't see any irritation, "The old man asked himself that the rules of the Song Mansion are very strict, but he will not treat his subordinates harshly." But Liangyu, why did you do such an inhumane thing? “
Old Madam Song's accusation made Liangyu's face pale, and she wanted to refute herself a few words, but suddenly the door opened again. Liangyu looked back and saw that someone had helped Song Li in. Song Li was quite quiet, but when she saw that the person sitting on the ground was her, she hurriedly broke free of the support of the two maids. Hiding in a corner and shrinking, he repeated in a trembling voice: "Don't hit me, I'm good, I'm sorry NoNo I was wrong, don't hit me NoNo"
Old Madam Song couldn't bear to see Song Li looking shrunken like this, and with a wave of her hand, she let people comfort Song Li. "Well, what else do you have to say?"
Liangyu's back was already soaked with cold sweat, she hurriedly knelt upright, and kowtowed a few times at Old Madam Song. He kept lying on the ground and refused to lift his head.
"Old Madam Song spares her life, I NoNo, I NoNo, the slave maid is confused for a while, really confused for a while, NoNo" Liangyu said incoherently, and suddenly rolled up her sleeves, so that everyone could see the scars on her arms. "Old lady, this is all beaten by the girl before, not only me, I heard that many maids in Zhuxuan have it, but because I was sent by the young lady, she beat me more No"
Old Madam Song didn't expect Song Li to be so irritable and ruthless, looking at the old and new scars on Liangyu's hands mixed together, she was stunned for a moment. After a while, she came back to her senses and subconsciously didn't want to admit this fact. "Now Song Li is like this, you have no evidence, how can the old body believe your family's words."
"It's true!" Liangyu was a little panicked, she raised her head and looked at Old Madam Song and said, "Since the slave maid served by the girl's side, the girl has been so irritable. I often get angry at us because I hear some things between Lord Luo and Miss A Zi of Yuehualou, NoNo is a pinch at the light, beaten and scolded at the worst, and the punished subordinates bite the handkerchief and can't make a sound. Speaking of these past events, Liangyu's body was trembling, and she didn't know whether she hated or was afraid, "Since the girl had hysteria, we thought we could escape NoNo didn't expect that she was crazy and beat people, and she beat harder than before, so I just NoNo"
"So you retaliate with a tooth for a tooth." Old Madam Song cleaned up the unfinished words for her. She looked at Liangyu. The expression was cold. "Song Li is indeed wrong in treating his subordinates harshly, but what crime should you be guilty of if you commit the next crime? Come on, drag this down the mountain for me to sell, don't let her defile this pure cultivation land. “
"The old lady spares her life, the old lady spares her life!" Liangyu saw that the two mothers-in-law were about to bully again, so she crawled to the old lady Song and said: "Old lady, the slave maid originally had this heart and didn't have the courage to do it, NoNo is NoNo, the young lady instigated the slave and maid to do this, and the slave and maid are also confused, so they will listen to her words." Old lady, please spare the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will not be betrayed by human teeth. Old lady, slave, please! “
"Presumptuous, the young lady is also slandered by you casually?" Seeing that Mrs. Song was silent, Mama Li scolded sharply, and motioned for the two mothers-in-law to come forward and pull Liangyu away.
"Old lady! What the slave said is true! It's all the meaning of the young lady, and the slave maid is really blinded by lard, so she will listen to her words. Old lady, please bypass the life of the slave, old lady! Xu is Liangyu's shouting voice was too poignant, which made Old Madam Song frown.
The two mothers-in-law were used to seeing such a scene in the Song Mansion, so they naturally understood what the master was thinking. One of them didn't know where to find a cloth ball and directly blocked Liangyu's mouth.
This time, the Buddha hall was completely clean.
Old Madam Song closed her eyes and silently recited a sentence of Amitabha Buddha in her mouth.
"Old lady, what Liangyu said just now No" Mama Li stepped forward and asked carefully.
"You go and find Wen Yu's daughter-in-law." Old Madam Song commanded coldly.
Mama Li answered, and then led the order to go out to find someone. Old Madam Song looked at the back of Mama Li leaving, and couldn't help but think to herself, she still couldn't trust the people who came out of this businessman's house.

Ren didn't expect that the young lady of the Song family, who had only had a one-sided relationship that day, would take the initiative to visit him. When the maidservant came to pay her respects, she did not turn off the visitor as usual, but let her bring people in.
Ah Jin took Ah Jiu to follow the maid into Ren's courtyard with those copied Buddhist scriptures, and found that Ren was sitting in the courtyard cooking tea, and the craftsmanship of the clouds and streams was dazzling.
"Ma'am." Ah Jin smiled and walked to the table, without Ren's permission, and did not sit down.
Ren glanced up at her, and said with a smile: "Don't be so restrained, just sit down." “
When Ah Jin heard this, he sat down and took the Buddhist scriptures that Ah Jiu was holding in his hands. "Since I'm here to visit. After all, I want to bring some greeting gifts, this set of Buddhist scriptures, please accept it with a smile. “
When Ren heard that it was a Buddhist scripture, he put aside the work of cooking tea for the time being, and only after cleaning his hands with the help of the maidservant girl did he take it reverently. She roughly flipped through the booklet, and saw that the little Kaijuan on it was abnormally beautiful, and the book was dancing with a heroic spirit, and the more she looked at it, the more people felt happy.
The concubine accepted it unceremoniously, this set of Buddhist scriptures. I really like it. In the past, I also liked to copy these things to relieve my boredom, but unfortunately now I have bad eyes and can't do this job," she said, and she handed the booklet to the maid beside her, and asked her to make an offering in front of the Buddhist shrine, and then turned her head to look at Ah Jin.
She only thought that this girl was bright and bright-eyed, and although the expression on her face was always faint, she was very pleasing to her.
"What's so difficult about this, if Madam likes it, I can come and copy the Buddhist scriptures for you when I have nothing to do in the future."
Ren was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little curious about Ah Jin. "You should be able to see that your old lady wants to stay away from me."
"The old lady is the old lady, and I am me. Even if I, Shen Mojin, marry Song Wenyu, it will still be Shen Mojin. “
Ren listened to her say this and looked at her in surprise. After a while, he said: "You are indeed very similar to someone I know, not similar." It's the demeanor and temperament that speaks, which really looks like her. “
"Oh? Is it? Then I'm really lucky for three lives. Ah Jin laughed.
"No, you still don't want to be like her," Ren shook his head and said, "She was too infatuated and ended up hurting herself." “
After saying this, Ren fell into memory. Ah Jin sensed from between these words who the person she said was, I am afraid that it was Ah Yin's biological mother, Liang Guifei Hua Yaluo.
She sat there quietly, patiently waiting for Ren to come out of her memories on her own. Just then, the maid appeared in the courtyard again.
"Mother, there are people outside the courtyard asking to see you."
Ren came back to his senses, looked at Ah Jin, and said, "Is it looking for you?" “
"Mostly." Ah Jin was also calm, nodded and said.
"Then do you want to see it, or don't you want to see it."
Ah Jin tilted his head, thought for a while, and said, "If you can, please ask Madame to reply to her, and say that I am not here." “
"Okay." Ren agreed neatly, although there was a difference in seniority between her and Ah Jin, they were like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, and they had a very tacit understanding.
After receiving Ren's affirmative answer, the maid went out and sent the man away, and after a while went into the courtyard again. Ren and Ah Jin ate tea and chatted, and after most of the afternoon, accompanied by such a lively young man as Ah Jin, Ren also felt that this day like a pool of stagnant water finally had some vitality.
"Ma'am, it's time for me to go back." Ah Jin looked at the sun and said. At present, half of the sun has sunset on the mountain, and the clouds on the horizon have been dyed red gold by the setting sun, which is very beautiful.
"Will you come again tomorrow?" Ren wanted to keep her for dinner, but he didn't think it was appropriate. So there is no opening. She took the maid and sent Ah Jin to the gate of the courtyard, and asked reluctantly.
"Yes, as long as Mrs. doesn't drive Ah Jin away, Ah Jin will come over every day to accompany Mrs. to eat fasting and chant Buddha."
"There's no need to be like this every day, you always have to spare some time to accompany Old Madam Song." Ren's words were very measured, with some exhortation, but he did not reprimand him with the attitude of a passerby.
Ah Jin saluted her and said, "Ah Jin knows." “
"Mother, you seem to be in a good mood today." When Ah Jin left, the maid who was waiting on the side stepped forward and said to Ren.
Ren didn't say a word, but just let the maid help her back into the house.
Ah Jin didn't take Ah Jiu a few steps before he was stopped by Mama Li. Seeing Mama Li, who was smiling at her, suddenly appeared, Ah Jin was not surprised.
"It's hard work Mama Li, you've been waiting for me here for so long."
"Young lady, the old lady is also waiting for you."
"Then take me there." After Ah Jin finished speaking, he really followed Mama Li to the room where Mrs. Song lived, without the slightest intention of retreating. Along the way, Mama Li turned her head several times, looking as if she was taking care of Ah Jin's footsteps, but she was actually looking at her look.
Ah Jin's frank look made Mama Li suspicious, and she subconsciously felt that what Liangyu said in front of Mrs. Song today was a lie in a hurry.
"Ma'am, please come here." Seeing that Mrs. Song's room had arrived. Mama Li stood by the door and invited Ah Jin in. Ah Jin nodded, raised his leg and crossed the threshold into the room, and saw that Mrs. Song was sitting next to the dining table, and there were some vegetarian meals on the table, and it seemed that she had not yet had dinner.
"Old lady." Ah Jin saluted Mrs. Song.
"Well, sit down," she asked Ah Jin to sit down, and then said to Mama Li: "You go down, just let me and my granddaughter-in-law have a good meal." “
"Yes." Mama Li smiled and retreated. Ah Jin saw that Mrs. Song had retreated from a group of subordinates, so she also asked Ah Jiu to wait. Ah Jiu was reluctant at first, but only exited the room under Ah Jin's rather stern gaze.
This little action of the master and servant was all seen by Mrs. Song. "You maid, but you are also loyal to you. Did they grow up together? “
Ah Jin didn't quite understand the intention of Old Madam Song's question, so he smiled and said, "No, it was allocated to me by the Shen Mansion when I got married." “
"Oh, I see." Mrs. Song responded casually, and took the initiative to serve Ah Jin a bowl of vegetable soup. Flattered, Ah Jin took the bowl over with both hands and placed it on the table. "Today we took Liangyu. Mama Li told me, this is thanks to your suggestion, otherwise we would have neglected this matter and let Li'er be wronged in vain. “
Ah Jin's eyebrows lowered, looking at the bowl of vegetable soup, and he was not in a hurry to drink it. "I don't know if it was Mojin's sentence that made Mama Li fall in love, but it was an unintentional remark, which can't be reminded."
Old Madam Song didn't really want to mention this matter when she saw her. Then I remembered the accusations that Li Liangyu had made against her today. "We interrogated and didn't take any action, so she said everything. But there is one thing, the old body does not believe in it anyway. But when it comes to your innocence, I have to come to you for questioning. “
"Old lady, please." Hearing this, Ah Jin raised his eyes and looked solemnly at Old Madam Song.
Seeing her eyes so open, Old Madam Song nodded approvingly. "Liangyu said that you were the one who committed the next crime."
"Oh, she said that," Ah Jin laughed, just as he expected, "I guess she must have been in a panic to come up with such a solution." What was the old lady going to do with her? “
"What should you do with it?"
Ah Jin didn't expect the problem to come back to her, she pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's better to let her continue to stay with her sister-in-law and wait." “
"Why?" When Mrs. Song heard Ah Jin's proposal, her face couldn't help but turn cold.
"At the moment, there are only a few people on the mountain, and they were just thinking about traveling lightly, and they didn't expect this to happen. If the old lady temporarily deploys another subordinate to come, she may not be able to serve the girl well. “
"That's the reason, but she made such a big mistake, I didn't throw her into the official yamen, which is already the greatest tolerance." Old Madam Song said coldly: "This person, the Song Mansion will definitely not be used anymore." As for the people who serve Song Li, the old man has his own choice. “
"Now that the old lady has made up her mind in her heart, Merkin won't talk much." Ah Jin smiled, and sure enough, he stopped talking.
"Speaking of which, this matter still has to be discussed with you."
Old Madam Song's words made Ah Jin quite puzzled, she looked at the old lady and replied softly: "I want to hear it." “
"I want to call Ah Zhen to the mountain and let her serve Song Li, it just so happens that your aunt and sister-in-law live in the same yard, what do you think."
Ah Jin raised his head and looked at Old Madam Song. She knew very well that this was not a negotiating tone, but an unmistakable tone.
If the old lady had this idea, Merkin would naturally follow. What's more, Ah Zhen was originally a girl in the Song Mansion. Ah Jin lowered his eyes and hid his true thoughts.
"Well, since Wen Yu's daughter-in-law has agreed to this matter, then I will ask someone to arrange it. In this way, both of you maids can be by your side. “
Ah Jin smiled, looked at the soup in the bowl, took a few sips, and found that it was a little cold.
This meal is a bit tasteless, and Ah Jin can't let the old lady Song, who has already lived into a human being, see it. After a dinner time with the old lady who seemed to be in harmony, Ah Jin left with Ah Jiu.
Mama Li entered the room and saw that Mrs. Song was eating with relish. and knew it was done. "Old lady, old slave always feels that the young lady is not as ruthless as Liangyu said."
Mrs. Song didn't say anything, but just ate the last chopsticks and rice in the bowl. She chewed slowly and methodically until the food was swallowed, then put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "It doesn't look like it, it doesn't mean it's not." This woman hides a lot of secrets. Until these mysteries are revealed, we can't take them lightly. “
"Yes." When Mama Li saw Mrs. Song say this, she never said a good word in favor of Ah Jin. After all, her master is Mrs. Song.
Ah Jiu followed behind Ah Jin, and when he saw her come out of Old Madam Song's room with a solemn expression, he knew that something was wrong.
"Girl, what did the old lady say to you?"
Ah Jin pushed open the door and sat down, poured a glass of water and drank it clean, before saying, "She wants Ah Zhen to also go up the mountain and come over to serve the one next door." “
"What? How can that work! Girl, did you promise her? Ah Jiu asked.
"Well," Ah Jin nodded, "Otherwise, what else could I do." If you refuse her on the spot. She will definitely make a fuss about Liangyu's testimony. Although I'm not afraid of Liangyu's flawed rhetoric, I don't want to get into trouble because of her. “
"This Liangyu, girl, you spared her life at the beginning, you really let the tiger return to the mountain." Ah Jiu said coldly.
"Your thinking of fighting and killing is good in the rivers and lakes, but it is not good in this Zhumen," Ah Jin shook his head and said, "What can you do if you kill her?" Before she was handed over to Song Li, she couldn't do anything, not even Song Wenyu's room. We are unknown. Sending it to Song Li to serve is the best way I can think of. It may also be that NoNo she holds a grudge against me, she doesn't dare to do anything to me in the Song Mansion on weekdays, but today she encountered a matter of life and death, so she naturally wanted to pull me into the water. “
"Just what a wicked slave said, she Old Lady Song also believed it?" Ah Jiu was a little emotional, and pointed to the door with one hand, "Since she dares to abuse her master, what else can't she do." “
"Old Madam Song didn't believe it all, and she didn't believe it. All in all, she's still wary of me," Ah Jin thought, and fell into distress again, "If Ah Zhen really comes, who can stay in this Great Mercy Temple for me for a few days?" “
"Since it is providential, the girl should not think like this anymore. If the Pavilion Master knew, he wouldn't have agreed. Ah Jiu looked at Ah Jin's contemplative appearance, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. On this issue, she has persuaded Ah Jin many times. But Ah Jin insisted on going his own way.
I really don't know what kind of drug that Song Wenyu gave her girl that looked dumbfounded.
In this case, she only dared to think about it, and did not dare to declare it, for fear that Ah Jin would be unhappy and would drive her back to the unruly mountain.
"I'll take care of him," Ah Jin pouted, his eyes lit up suddenly, and his hands tapped together excitedly, "By the way, how did I forget about this." “
"What's the matter?" Ah Jiuhu looked at Ah Jin suspiciously.
"Maybe I've found a way to crack it," Ah Jin smiled mysteriously at Ah Jiu, then stood up and lay down on the bed, "Let's freshen up and sleep early today, it's rare that Miss Song doesn't live next door to us, and she can finally sleep well." “
As he spoke, Ah Jin stretched and turned over, as if he was about to fall asleep in the next second.
"Slave maid go fetch water for you." Ah Jiu saw that Ah Jin's eyes were already half-squinted, so he was busy preparing for her to wash.
Ah Jin waved her hand, she didn't even bother to say a word, in order to deal with Old Madam Song today, she really used all her energy, and now she didn't even bother to open her eyelids.
The door creaked open and closed, and the room fell silent. Ah Jin lay on her side on the bed, listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest, and when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt someone behind her, so she immediately sat up.
"Who!"
Ah Jin looked at the small room, but saw that the surroundings were empty, and no one was in the room. It was only the hidden door that caught her attention.
Ah Jin squinted at the looming crack in the door. Although she was really tired just now, she still remembered Ah Jiu's movements before she went out just now.
Just now, the door was obviously closed.
"Xu was blown away by the wind?" Ah Jin thought so, and when he lay down again, he couldn't sleep at all.
When Ah Jiu came in with water, he thought Ah Jin was asleep, so he moved lightly. As soon as she placed the bucket on the floor, she found that Ah Jin was already sitting on the edge of the bed, which made her a little strange.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah Jiu, when you went out just now, did you close the door or close it?"
Ah Jiu listened to her question, glanced back at the closed door, and then turned around and said, "Naturally, it's closed, like now." “
"Oh, that's fine."
Ah Jin said this in his mouth, but after saying this, he said to Ah Jiu silently: Someone is spying on us.
