Chapter 35: The Second Lady Drowns
After finishing the meal and serving the refreshments, Man Gui ran in in a hurry, and he didn't have time to salute the two masters, gasping and saying, "The second lady is dead." ”
"Nonsense, the second lady is fine, why did she die?" The old lady's face sank, and she scolded in a deep voice.
"The slave has seen the old lady, and the second lady has drowned. Doctor Jiang in Fuzhong has confirmed that the second lady is dead. ”
"Why did this good guy drown?" The old lady put the tea bowl in her hand heavily on the table and asked sharply.
"The second lady was drinking in the lake pavilion, I don't know if she was drunk, she actually fell into the lake and drowned."
But at this moment, Ling Yun came over and told the second lady about her drowning. The second lady is gone, and everything in this house naturally has to ask the old lady.
"The maids, women, and slaves in the second house will each be beaten with twenty boards, and all of them will be reduced to miscellaneous labor." The old lady raised her eyebrows and said.
"Yes, old lady." Ling Yun naturally knew that the old lady was a powerful person, and the death of the second lady was actually in the hands of the old lady.
"Well, let the account room check the account books of these years, and every account must be clear and clear." The old lady raised her eyebrows and said casually. Ling Yun understood, said yes, and withdrew.
Ling Luo's eyes were rolling, and he couldn't see any emotion on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this old lady is also a very character, even if the second lady dies, she will have to bear an infamy.
The second lady has embezzled a lot of money over the years, and the old lady naturally knows that she has connived at her for so many years, just to let her stint for 10,000 years today and block the mouth of Dingbeihou. This old lady is really able to forbear, and the layout is so thorough.
"Girl, your methods are a little cruel." The old lady waved her legs to the maid on the side, and when there were only grandparents and grandchildren left, she raised her eyebrows and said.
"It's not all in my grandmother's calculations, it seems that I'm still a little tender." He didn't say how the second lady died, but the old lady knew everything about it, and it was still creepy to think about it, this old lady's methods were no better than ordinary old ladies in the house.
"Although I am no longer in charge of the family, after all, I am also the master mother of this Ling Mansion, something big happened, and I don't want to face it as an old woman, how can I not know everything about the people and things in the house."
"I've completed my grandmother's family's mission, can my grandmother keep her promise?" Ling Luo's eyes flashed slightly, and he said indifferently.
"When the matter of the second room is over, the old body will give you the key." The old lady raised her eyebrows, she didn't care much about the hard work of the housekeeper. After living most of her life, what gold and silver treasures no longer matter to her. All she wants is to be the person in charge behind the scenes and enjoy the pleasure of power.
"Like my grandmother, I don't like these trivial things, and I have another choice for the person in charge of the family." Ling Luo stirred the tea bowl and said indifferently.
"Oh? What is at your fingertips, you actually give it to others? The old lady's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Ling Luo. wanted to see her through, but found that this girl didn't know when she started to figure out her thoughts.
"I never cared about this position as the head of the family, I just didn't want the second lady to continue to be in charge of the family. is the so-called family and everything is prosperous, the second lady is narrow-minded and arrogant, always making the backyard restless, intriguing, and staging a war without gunpowder every day, which is not good for my father and Ling Fu. ”
"Oh, it's hard for you to think so thoroughly, but the old body is not strict with discipline on weekdays, I don't know who this person in charge of the family is?"
"Although the fourth sister is a concubine, she is smart and clever, and she is also good at dealing with people, especially the accounts are good, grandmother sees her as feasible?" After Ling Luo found her in the early summer of the day, he had this idea.
"Since you are optimistic about her, it is her, and she is also the young lady of Ling Mansion after all." The old lady lowered her eyes, patted her clothes, and said.
At the afterglow of the sunset, the angry scolding of Dingbei Hou came from the front yard, and after a while, he led people away. The old lady and Ling Hanran never came forward, and the Ling Mansion and the Dingbei Hou Mansion broke secretly.
It was night, and the fourth lady came to Luoyanju.
"Miss, everything is done. The second lady raised a man outside and committed suicide with a loss of silver, and Dingbei Hou killed the adulterer and left. ”
"Well done, the second lady has this ugly thing, and the Marquis of Dingbei can't use the rod to seek justice, but you won't leave any chance for the second lady to turn over." Ling Luo's eyes flashed slightly, and he said indifferently, this Miss Ling Mansion has a person with means, and she said that she could think that the weak Fourth Miss on weekdays was so ruthless and so leaky.
"If you don't make a move, it's enough, since you make a move, how can you give people a chance to turn over, and leave trouble in vain. Besides, it is a fact that the second lady is short of silver, and the silver has not yet been found. This is not the urgency of Dingbei waiting, and I have to give the second lady such a reason. ”
"It seems that only the fourth sister in this mansion is suitable for being in charge, and today the four sisters are retreating from Beihou, and the people in this mansion should also think about it."
"Thank you, Miss, for your attention." Ling Chuxia was also a smart person, and immediately understood the meaning of her words, and stood up and saluted.
"Well, let's go back." Ling Luo's eyes lowered and said lightly.
Ling Luo walked out of the flower hall and returned to the room, under the candlelight, on the bed, Yu Zhan was like a fairy, lying on her bed.
"It seems that my yard should be cleaned up, snakes, insects, rats and ants have all been burrowed into the nest." Ling Luo's eyes sank, and his voice suddenly became cold.
"It's good that you dare to compare this king to that snake, insect, rat and ant." Yu Zhan said with a smile.
"Isn't it that the prince doesn't understand the difference between men and women? Just lying on the bed of a boudoir woman in a grand manner. In front of Yu Zhan, Ling Luo couldn't keep calm and composed.
"It's getting late, if you don't go back, I'll come looking for you, after all, it's just a different place to sleep. Come here, I'm sleepy. "Yu Zhan's face is like an immortal, but his mouth is full of meat words.
"Shameless." Ling Luo snorted lightly, but still walked over, untied his clothes, and straddled him to lie in the innermost.
Sleeping with him is just to prevent him from having a poisonous attack. Ling Luo thought in his heart that he must relieve the Gu poison and cold disease in his body as soon as possible, otherwise, he would be too constrained, and he didn't know when this task would be completed.
"What do you think?" Yu Zhan looked at her side face and asked softly.
"Thinking about the prince's habit of breaking sleeves, it's time to marry a princess." Ling Luo pursed his lips and said angrily.
"That's right, it's time for the War King Mansion to have a princess." When Yu Zhan heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a shallow smile, and he said lightly.
