Chapter 255: Staying overnight
Zheng Lingyi laughed out loud, the county lord really felt sorry for Zheng Qijun in his heart, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and ask people outside to coax him to an unclean place, and he was afraid that he would be hooked by a too beautiful maid, eat the marrow and know the taste, and hurt his body.
"The son of a father and mother will have far-reaching plans for him." The emotions in Zheng Lingyi's eyes precipitated, and he said with emotion: "Although the county lord has no kindness to you, the nurturing feelings and love for you are really pure and sincere." ”
Zheng Qijun nodded heavily and said, "I know." He said a little awkwardly: "My aunt is picking a daughter-in-law for me, I think the maid in the room should be left." ”
Zheng Lingyi bent his eyes and smiled sincerely, "Okay, when you also get married, my sister will be completely relieved." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Lingyi felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he actually forgot about another sister who came out with the same mother.
"But sleepy?" Finding that Zheng Lingyi began to be distracted again, Wu Zhi said.
Zheng Changchang and Zheng Qijun also yawned one after another, Zheng Lingyi smiled, lowered his head to hide his gloomy emotions, and said, "I'm sleepy, let's settle my younger brothers and sisters first." ”
Zheng Changchang followed Dong Ni to rest, and Luzhu and Pei'er sent Zheng Qijun to the South Courtyard.
Hearing that Lu Zhu came back to spread the word, saying that Zheng Qijun had asked General Wu for peace and had already settled in the South Courtyard, Zheng Lingyi relieved himself and lay back in the bed.
"What's wrong with Fang Cai? But what sad things come to mind? Wu Zhi stroked her face and asked gently.
Zheng Lingyi couldn't help his tone the most, telling him to coax him like this, and he was about to say everything in his heart.
"I'm thinking about Shuangshuang." She said softly, as if speaking louder, it would startle the aunt who was sleeping underground.
The rough thumb rubbed against her face again, and he said, "I think, in fact, it's not just that you don't know how to face her, she probably doesn't know how to face you." ”
Zheng Lingyi silently recited his words in his heart once and understood what he meant.
refers to Zheng Shuangshuang's share in hurting Aunt Jiang, she was still young at the time, no matter what happened, she always watched Aunt Jiang die.
Zheng Lingyi rubbed into Wu Zhi's arms, was silent for a long time, and said: "What you said is also reasonable, but I still have nothing to do with her." ”
Wu Yan kissed her forehead, found that she was already sleepy with her eyes closed, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
Zheng Lingyi said 'um' in a half-dream, half-awake, this was like an illusion, and it made her fall into a sweeter dream.
How do I know how time has changed in my dream, and I don't know how long it has been, the heavy slamming of the door made Zheng Lingyi wake up with a frown, Wu Zhi was already one step ahead of her, got up and opened the door in his coat.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Zhu stood at the door of the inner room, and the look on her face was uneasy and confused, "Madam, it seems that something has happened in the South Courtyard!" ”
South Courtyard, what can happen to the Southern Courtyard?
A few days ago, when General Wu was not in good health, Zheng Lingyi was worried, but recently after the career of Wu Punishment was expected, his spirit became better and better, and even he himself looked forward to living for a few more years, so that Wu Punishment could be controlled, and he would not have to take a fork in the road.
Lu Nong said that General Wu was much more active in even taking medicinal food.
Something happened when Zheng Qijun was staying in the South Courtyard, Zheng Lingyi stepped into the air and fell straight into Wu Punishment's arms.
"Don't panic." Wu Zhi wrapped a coat around her, and Lu Zhu took another robe and wrapped her tightly.
It's snowing today, and when I went to the South Courtyard late at night the day before, something happened to me, and it was a rainy day.
Under the light of the lantern, it is impossible to distinguish between snow and rain, but the snow falls silently, so that people can only hear the sound of hurried footsteps.
The person who came to report the news did not say what happened, but just asked Zheng Lingyi to go to the South Courtyard.
On the way, I arrived at the South Courtyard with trepidation, and the maid guarding the door of the South Courtyard obviously got the order and welcomed a few people in.
The scene in this courtyard is not very nervous, with lanterns hanging under the porch and a stove burning, which can be regarded as bright.
General Wu and Zheng Qijun sat on the left and right of the stove respectively, and they both added an extra piece of clothing on their bodies.
Old General Wu closed his eyes, holding a cup of ginseng tea in his hand, and was closing his eyes to recuperate.
Zheng Qijun was obviously not as calm as the old general, and as soon as he saw his sister and brother-in-law, he jumped up from the chair, as if he had been holding his hips, and he didn't dare to sit down completely.
Zheng Ling watched Zheng Qijun desperately squeeze his eyebrows to the left, and looked down and saw Pei'er and another servant kneeling there, both of them with their heads down, obviously looking like they had made a mistake.
'Strange, Pei'er's honest brain, what can go wrong? On the way here, Zheng Lingyi didn't expect Pei'er to go up.
"Daddy......
Zheng Lingyi stepped forward and called.
General Wu opened one eye to look at her, nodded, couldn't see any emotion, and said, "Sit down first." ”
Zheng Lingyi and Wu Zhi sat down, Pei'er looked up at her timidly, her eyes were full of tears, as if she had been greatly wronged, and then she yawned uncontrollably, looking very sluggish.
"Father-in-law, what's going on?" Zheng Lingyi looked at Pei'er, and then at General Wu.
General Wu was not very energetic, he relied on ginseng tea to lift his spirit, he just raised his head and said to the two kneeling maids: "Say it yourself, what kind of mess is it!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the maid beside Pei'er raised his head, walked two steps on his knees and said to everyone: "General, young master, madam, the slave and maid are really wronged. I just felt that it was a little cold in the second half of the night, so I wanted to send a quilt to my brother, why, why did it make people dirty like this! Slave maid, how will slave and maid see people in the future! ”
Her tears were like not wanting money, crying so brightly that her face was shining, even so, she cried beautifully, her eyes were red and pitiful, and she did not have the ugly appearance of baring her teeth.
Pei opened her mouth to speak, but she was stopped by a louder cry.
Old General Wu didn't even move his eyebrows, Zheng Lingyi estimated that this was the meaning of letting himself have full authority to make up his mind.
Seeing that the servant was crying vigorously, she waited patiently for a while, and the servant gradually stopped, squinted at Zheng Lingyi, and quickly took it back.
Zheng Lingyi asked her, "What's your name?" ”
"Jade, jade." The servant replied.
Zheng Lingyi nodded, didn't say anything more, and said to Pei'er: "You can talk about it." ”
Pei'er's eyes were a little weak and she tried to mention it, she couldn't say anything unpleasant, and she couldn't learn Yuxiang's ability to cry, but she said: "The slave is sleeping outside, and when she hears a little movement, she gets up to take a look, and finds that Yuxiang climbed into her brother's bed, and she is still taking off her ......
"You talk nonsense!" Yuxiang screamed and retorted.
Zheng Lingyi felt her ears tighten for a while, and looked at Zheng Qijun again, Zheng Qijun didn't wait for her to ask, and waved her hand again and again: "I, I don't know." I was woken up by the sound of them arguing. ”
"Although the slave maid is said to be a member of the Wu family, she is also an innocent person, why bother, why do you have to do such a thing." Yuxiang wiped her tears and said.
"But what are you doing with Peer's plain dirt?" Zheng Lingyi's words were not directed at Pei'er, but only pointed out the biggest suspicion in this matter.
Yuxiang didn't panic at all, blinked at Zheng Lingyi, glanced at Zheng Qijun shyly, and said: "My brother was drunk, and when the slave and maid covered him with a quilt, he reached out and pulled the skirt of the slave's clothes, so she could see it." ”
Zheng Qijun seemed to be on fire in his stomach, jumped a foot away with a bullet, clutched his clothes tightly, pointed at Yuxiang and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
His behavior was like a yellow flower girl who had been bullied, and even General Wu couldn't help laughing.
This laughter made Yuxiang's pitiful image a little funny.
"Then how did Pei say that you took off your clothes?" Zheng Lingyi asked.
As soon as Pei'er wanted to answer, she saw Yuxiang glance at her with some disdain, and she said to Zheng Lingyi again: "Young lady, it's not good to say this." ”
Zheng Lingyi didn't understand what she meant, and she couldn't look at the arrogance in Yuxiang's words, so she frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"The slave maid is just guessing, maybe you can guess eight or nine without leaving ten." Yuxiang glanced at Pei'er again, and said: "This Pei'er in your courtyard is not a yellow flower girl for a long time, she has hidden dirty thoughts in her heart, she is dirty, and she thinks others have the same thoughts as her. Thinking of being a maid who climbs the bed, maybe she can become a room, and if you meet someone who is not exquisite, it will be even better luck to become an aunt. ”
Zheng Qijun looked at Pei'er in shock, Pei'er's secret was exposed in public, she was ashamed and angry, and her whole body was trembling, "You, you are talking nonsense, madam, I didn't, I didn't." ”
Zheng Lingyi is naturally Xin Pei'er, and so is Lu Zhu, seeing that she was almost fainting at this time, he hurriedly knelt down with her, stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly.
"Madam, don't be blindfolded by the people close to you, isn't the most important thing to watch out for is the people around you?" Yuxiang said very earnestly.
Zheng Lingyi looked at her fixedly for a while, pulled the corners of his lips and smiled, and said, "Few people in my hospital know about Pei'er's affairs, how did you know?" ”
Yuxiang's eyes flashed, she avoided Zheng Lingyi's gaze, and said: "How can there be an impermeable wall in the world, and the slave and maid have forgotten who they listened to." ”
Based on Yuxiang's speculation, it is impossible to charge Pei'er with any crime, but there is a suspicion that cannot be shaken off.
Pei'er didn't know where the strength came from, she suddenly stood up, pointed at Yuxiang and said, "I was innocent by someone, but my heart is clean!" I'm not like you! You're dirty! I watched you take off your clothes and climb into bed, you are the one who wants to rely on your brother! ”
Yuxiang pursed her lips and said lightly: "Reversing black and white." ”
Pei'er was so angry that her heart hurt for a while, and she walked quickly to General Wu, kowtowed her head heavily, and her forehead was bleeding.
"What are you......
"Old general, this person can't stay, she has a ghost in her heart, what the slave and maid said is the truth, and the slave and maid will give you evidence." Pell got up and said in a hoarse voice.
Before General Wu could be confused, he saw Pei'er slamming towards the pillar quickly.
