Chapter 19: Incidents

Today's morning is no different from usual, the east and west gardens are always calm, and even the peace and residence are surprisingly peaceful.

Aunt Jiang led her two daughters to the dining room for breakfast, although she wrapped her waist seal, she still walked cautiously, not daring to let Brother Qing see her body.

"Brother Qing, why is Mama Gu not here today?" Aunt Guo said very enthusiastically, it seems that she has been very close to them for a long time.

Brother Qing ignored her at all, just sat upright and patrolled everyone.

There was a sudden commotion outside, and everyone subconsciously looked outside, Aunt Wan's room was the closest to the dining room, and she saw Mama Gu leading a few maids and women to break in.

"Ah, what is this doing?" Aunt Wan hurriedly stood up and said to Brother Qing.

Aunt Jiang tugged at the hem of her skirt while thinking about what she couldn't see in her house?

The pigeon's blood was carried by Choro, and the cloth wrapped around his waist was on his body, and there was nothing else.

Although Aunt Jiang didn't understand why she was making this fuss, she felt that she didn't show any, so she calmed down.

She looked at the two children, Zheng Changchang's temperament was a little timid, and she leaned towards Aunt Jiang at this moment, Zheng Lingyi looked like she didn't care about herself, and stretched out her chopsticks to eat vegetables.

Aunt Jiang was about to withdraw her gaze, but saw that Zheng Lingyi was holding vinegared ginger shreds.

Zheng Lingyi doesn't like to eat ginger, she didn't like it when she was a child and needed to be fed, and she finally got the little whitebait, but she put a few slices of ginger when she was steaming, and she stopped eating it after taking a bite, and her small mouth was closed tightly, and she twisted her head, which was simply stubborn.

Zheng Lingyi chewed, seemed to stiffen for a moment, then swallowed it again, and took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand.

Aunt Jiang looked at Zheng Lingyi's strange behavior, and her heart felt like she had pressed a big stone, and she was uncomfortable.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, the mother and daughter are both calm and calm, and they don't see anything strange.

Brother Qing looked around, he didn't think that the people in Xiyuan were suspicious, and he was a little happy in his heart. If something goes wrong with the people in Xiyuan, the Lu family may be punished with her.

The aunts returned to the room after breakfast, and saw that their things were turned over, even the pillow core was pulled out, and the cassia was scattered all over the ground, but they didn't dare to ask more.

Seeing that the east and west gardens were turned over, but nothing was found, even Aunt Hua felt a little strange.

"There is indeed a nightmare medicine in this medicine residue, but our medicine is fried in the small kitchen, and only a side door that can only be opened from the inside leads directly to Dongqing Garden.

"Is that herb easy to obtain?" When Zheng Yanru heard that the Lu family was assassinated, she was also worried, and pulled Zheng Yanxian to ask for warmth.

"Blazing grass is also an ordinary medicinal material, but the rich and noble people don't use it, if they are not intentionally planted, most of them are symbiotic with Merlin." Aunt Hua has already asked the doctor about these things.

"That must have been made by Jiu Niang's little hooves!" Zheng Yanxian stood up and said with interest.

Lu Shi glanced at Aunt Hua, and Aunt Hua said calmly: "The old slave also had this doubt, so the old slave personally went to check it in the ninth sister's room. However, there was no incandescent grass in her room, and there were no medical books. ”

"That's it, why did Jiu Niang want to hurt your mother to kiss you?" Zheng Yanru hurriedly said.

She didn't want the person who did it to be her sister-in-law.

"Why? Naturally, it's for you. Zheng Yan glanced at Zheng Yan with disdain, twisted her neck, and said.

"For me?" Zheng Yanru was very puzzled, and was angered by Zheng Yanxian's attitude, and said, "You make it clear." ”

Zheng Yanxian smiled sarcastically, and was about to speak, but heard Lu Shi say: "Shut up for me!" ”

Zheng Yanxian tilted her head and snorted softly, put on a lazy look, and sat down to play with the silk handkerchief in her hand.

Zheng Yanhui knew why Zheng Yanxian's nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes, just because after Siniang got married, her marriage was never settled, which made Zheng Yanxian feel that she was in her way!

"The two sisters can rest assured, the slave has asked the mother-in-law to ask the ninth sister, if it has something to do with her, she will not be able to escape, and if it has nothing to do with her, she will not be wronged."

When Zheng Yanhui heard Aunt Hua say this, she didn't think much about it, but calmed down and said, "Then why did the charcoal catch fire?" ”

Aunt Hua bowed slightly, and replied to Zheng Yan: "The charcoal ash after the charcoal burn is sticky, and the slave speculates that the oil that supports combustion was added, so the fire started, and it is not a strange thing." ”

"Then I must interrogate the girl who guards the firewood room." Zheng Yanxian interjected.

What she could think of, how could Aunt Hua not think of it?

"The charcoal was used quickly in those days, and the basket of charcoal was newly taken from the big firewood room in Dongqing Garden, and the hands and feet should also be made in the big firewood room, and it has nothing to do with the maids in our yard."

"I never thought that my Zheng family would have such a scheming person, he is really thoughtful and takes every step of the way."

Lu Shi said this sentence in a very relaxed tone, and the end note was light and cold, as if it could turn into a pair of sharp claws, and when others were unguarded, they would choke her throat.

Zheng Yanhui heard Lu Shi's tone of words, and he felt creepy.

"Mother." Zheng Yanhui called out a little fearfully.

Lu Shi ignored her, just stared at a spot of light refracted from the glass window under the hall, his eyes were cold, but the corners of his mouth were smiling, which was really strange and extraordinary, making people a little frightened.

The Lu family was not born as a concubine, but as a concubine.

If it weren't for her aunt's foresight and plot to take her sister-in-law's life, how could her brother Lu Weiyin inherit the title even if he relied on his own skills to make a contribution? How can she marry Zheng Guogong as his wife?

Everything she has today is calculated by her aunt, so since she became a housemother, she has also been extra wary of these women.

Because she knows this woman's scheming very well, she can endure and hibernate, just to deliver the most fatal blow at a critical time.

The Lu family's posture of raiding the house today did make Zheng Lingyi panic for a moment, but this panic was not as good as Aunt Jiang's sudden words, "Fifteen, what did you do secretly?" ”

Zheng Lingyi was cleaning up his mattress, and when he heard this, he just pursed the corners of his mouth, and spit out a word in confusion, "Ah? ”

Aunt Jiang was a little unsure, so she simply said: "When Mama Gu searched the house, I saw that you were a little nervous, and Jiang Si was willing to eat it." ”

Zheng Lingyi turned around, made a bitter face, and said, "Auntie, you have always said that the vinegared ginger shreds are delicious, I believed your words today, and I wanted to eat it on a whim." It's sour and spicy, I regret it! ”

Her expression was full of lightness and playfulness, which made Aunt Jiang can't help but relax.

Aunt Jiang sat down with her waist up, poured herself a cup of tea, and only drank half a sip, then listened to her eldest daughter: "I have already answered what my aunt asked me." Then I also want to ask my aunt, when do you plan to tell me about my pregnancy? ”

Aunt Jiang almost choked on water, and the only remaining doubt in her heart was also interrupted by Zheng Lingyi's question.

"You're a kid, what do you know so much?" Before Aunt Jiang opened her mouth, Zheng Lingyi knew that she would say this.

"Four months, right? It's time for you to tell Daddy, it's useless, but it's good to get over the road. Madame will not act rashly, if it is a sister, we can still have a peaceful birthday. ”

Zheng Lingyi's eyes were bright, and she said in a calm tone, but Aunt Jiang didn't know what to say, she stroked her lower abdomen in a daze, and fell into deep thought.

Zheng Lingyi didn't speak again, took two spare cotton pillows from the cabinet, and took a dustpan to clean up the cassia seeds all over the ground.

A few cassia seeds jumped into the gap between the cabinets, Zheng Lingyi put his face on the cold countertop, and tried to reach the few cassia seeds with his hands.

When she grabbed the cassia seeds, a belated fear suddenly swelled in her heart.

The rest of the incandescent grass was originally hidden in the core of the pillow, and An Heju calmly called her a little strange, so she kept an extra eye and buried the remaining incandescent grass in the pepper garden.

Unexpectedly, they really even broke the pillow core, and it was a blessing that they didn't ask them to catch the omission this time.

An Heju's actions today show that the Lu clan obviously did not attribute those things to the retribution of gods and ghosts. Naturally, there is no fear in the heart.

Zheng Lingyi felt that his efforts were in vain, but he was still happy to be able to make the Lu family suffer some hardships and help his aunt An An survive the first four months.

When Aunt Wan was chatting at Aunt Jiang's place after dinner, when she searched the house, the pot of shredded beans and pork was broken by her mother-in-law, which made her feel very uncomfortable, and she couldn't eat dinner.

Zheng Lingyi felt a little guilty, so he generously took out the white sugar cake that he had saved for a few days and gave it to Zheng Mianmian.

Aunt Wan touched Zheng Lingyi's face, her expression was gentle and amiable.

At this time, Qiaoxiu, Qiaoluo and Qiaozhi came back together.

Qiao Ran is Aunt Cai's maid in Dongyuan, and I don't know what to do here?

Look at her eyes red and swollen again, and her body trembles slightly, as if she had cried fiercely.

Seeing that Qiaoxiu and Qiaoluo's expressions were not very good, the two of them went to the outer courtyard to deliver food boxes together, but when they came back, they had a blue face, as if they were frightened.

Aunt Wan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?" On weekdays, they are all talking and laughing together, why are you sad today? ”

Qiaoxiu is a person who can't hide her words, often before others ask, she can't help but say it herself, but today is a little abnormal, looking at the three children and shaking their heads at Aunt Wan.

Aunt Jiang said to Zheng Lingyi: "Fifteen, take the two younger sisters to the side pavilion to play." ”

Zheng Lingyi glanced at Qiao Luo, and saw that her face was gloomy, there must be something bad.

Seeing that the three children had entered, Qiao Xiucai opened a pair of eyes full of fear, glanced at Qiao Luo, trembled, and said: "At breakfast today, the ninth sister asked her mother-in-law to drag her away from the dining room, and the people in Dongyuan were also grounded, so we haven't known the news." The slaves and maids went to deliver the food box, and saw Qiao Ran begging the mother-in-law in the kitchen to give a bowl of porridge and water in the big kitchen, and then they knew that the ninth sister had asked his wife to be punished! All day! After dinner, I asked someone to drag it back, and it was as soft as paralyzed muddy water. ”
