14, the concubine set fire?

Because of the arrival of the singing moon, the General's Mansion was very unquiet for a while.

In addition to the masters of the second room of the big house, the servants of the subordinates also talked about it, no one knew what the origin of this beautiful and young woman was, plus she was pregnant, if the child was a male fetus, it would be the only heir to the big house.

And this new aunt seems to be very interesting, and she is not arrogant and domineering by her appearance or the child in her belly, but she closes her door as soon as she enters the house, and treats people very politely.

"Singing the moon, come, let me see."

Singing Yue almost didn't get out of her side courtyard, only in the morning and dusk when the province was set to the main hall to ask the old lady, Jing Jue and Yun Niang to say goodbye, and the old lady didn't know why, she was very polite, and as soon as she stepped into the threshold before singing the moon, she opened her mouth with a smile and called the singing moon to her side.

Seeing that Sing Yue was a little shy of the new daughter-in-law, the old lady's wrinkled eyes bent with a smile. She took the hand of the singing moon and rubbed it on the white, smooth, soft and boneless flesh and said: "It's a sign child, I think the boss has a good eye, how is the belly?" I called the doctor to see you a while ago, and said that it has been three months, but what do you want to eat and drink? ”

was treated so affectionately, the flush on Singyue's cheeks became even worse, and she whispered softly: "Old Madam Meng's love, everything is fine with Singyue, and everything is fine with the child......"

This situation and this scene were all taken into Jiang Nianhan's eyes, she paid attention to the reaction of the people in the hall, Sing Yue is a person in the big house, the old lady greeted her like this, but she was not dissatisfied, it can be seen that she must have an idea to take Sing Yue into the house.

Looking at Jing Jue again, the lady of the main room of the big house was left out in the cold, but she was also indifferent, no different from usual, obviously she was also in the know.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the truth that can be said by young children is not understood by these people...... Jiang Nianhan couldn't help but sigh. The General's Mansion has fallen, what can the second room be left behind? It's just that I see the prosperity of the big house, and I can't wait to pull everyone off the horse immediately and vent my anger.

"Singing Yue has seen the eldest lady, the second miss." In the blink of an eye, Sing Yue had finished saluting a few people in the second room, and turned her head to greet Jiang Nianwei and Jiang Nianhan.

She still understands etiquette, an aunt, even if she is a generation older, she is still not a master, and in the face of the serious ladies in the house, she is a head shorter, so even in front of the two girls, she is low-browled and pleasing to the eye, and she is very kind.

Maybe she heard a lot of rumors about Jiang Nianhan's honest temperament, and estimated that Jiang Nianhan was far easier to get along with than the veiled Jiang Nianwei, she smiled slightly and said to Jiang Nianhan: "Singing Yue has just entered the house, and it is too late to visit the two young ladies, but I still prepared two thin gifts, which are not worth anything, they are all made by Singing Yue herself to show her heart." ”

After that, the girl behind her presented two identical moonlight sachets, embroidered with flowers and patterns, delicate and small, hanging on the young girl's body must be beautiful.

Jiang Nianwei bowed slightly and accepted the sachet, but Jiang Nianhan didn't move.

"It turns out that the child in Aunt Singyue's womb is actually three months old?" Jiang Nianhan took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows and looked at the delicate and feminine woman and said coolly, "Let me calculate, three months ago, my father only came back from the front line, if I remember correctly, my father was at home for a few days, and he rarely went out to socialize, but he went to the southwest border a few days later...... This kid ......"

She deliberately raised her voice so that the upper and lower halls, and even the lower people standing outside, could hear it.

"Han'er!" Jiang Nianwei shouted loudly, and then smiled apologetically at Sing Yue, "Aunt Sing Yue, Han'er is a little silly, she is open-mouthed, she is not intentionally offended, and I hope that Aunt Niang will not worry about her little girl." ”

When her sister said this, Jiang Nianhan pursed her lips, still a little unconvinced.

Thanks to her usual reputation, she was used to being open-mouthed, and the old lady just glared at her, just as she was not used to this aunt, and did not sing for the moon.

But Jiang Nianhan's words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, although the subordinates did not show it on their faces, they all muttered in their hearts.

After all, Jiang Chenglin is not in the house, the identity of this Aunt Singing Moon is a mystery, and the child in her belly has no one to testify......

"I heard that Aunt Sing Yue is not our general's person at all, but the woman in the flower building outside, not clean!"

"Who can say this accurately, the general is not in the mansion, whatever she says."

"Hey, I also heard that Aunt Singyue also has a good friend outside the house, shhh, don't talk about it......"

"So the child in the womb...... Tsk, don't you dare to talk nonsense, in case you get caught by the old lady......"

For half a month, the people with broken mouths are talking about this new aunt, pointing the finger at her innocence, the rumors have always been like this, whether it is true or not, one person, two people, three people can become a tiger, the ancients did not deceive me, that is.

The status of women in the Liang Dynasty is low, Mo said that she is an unidentified concubine, even if she is the wife of a big family, she has an affair with others, and she is pregnant with someone else's child, even if she can't directly dip the pig cage, she is not reasonable.

What's more, Sing Yue was suddenly taken into the house by the old lady, and Jiang Chenglin was not at home, Jiang Nianhan's suspicions were well-founded, so the rumors intensified, and even the name of the good friend who sang Yue was spread well.

"In short, everyone in the house said that Aunt Sing Yue did not abide by the woman's way, and she deserved to be disposed of after the general returned to the house." In the evening, Bi Tao was immersed in needlework, and said to Jiang Nianhan with a smile, "In the past few days, I have seen that those people in Aunt Yue's yard often look at her behind their backs. ”

"This is natural, she has no background, no favor, she suddenly entered the house without a name or a point, the old lady spoils her, but she is just using her as a pawn to frame the big house, where will she really care about her? The subordinates are the most discerning, and they can perceive the false feelings of the masters towards her, so they dare to treat her coldly. ”

Jiang Nianhan saw that Bi Tao was young, so he explained the truth and the plate. She didn't have much interest in the female red needlework, just watching Bi Tao fiddle with those flower bandages and draw patterns made her feel dizzy, so she simply half lay on her own couch, holding the little child's sachet in her hand and rubbing it.

"Bi Tao, I suddenly remembered, today I told the kitchen to steam an extra bowl of egg custard for me at night, and I haven't gotten it yet, the girls in the room are not there at this time, so you just go and get it, I eat and sleep." The candle flame was faint, and Jiang Nianhan's voice was also slightly hoarse, looking very sleepy.

Bi Tao may have sat for a long time, her body was numb, she stretched her arms after getting up, and left the small courtyard after answering.

Jiang Nianhan's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and not long after Bi Tao left, she was completely flat on the bed, her full lips slightly open, and a pair of always sparkling apricot eyes were closed.

"Walking in the waterβ€”the water in the eldest lady's roomβ€”"

I don't know how long it took for her to hear Bi Tao's sharp and frightened screams, and the raging flames in the room had burned to the window lattice, and the book she had placed in front of the window before going to bed had also been reduced to ashes.

Jiang Nianhan found that his palms were clenched too tightly, and deep finger marks had been pinched, and sweat had also soaked out of his skin, which was wet.

"Help!" She finally shouted, and then covered her mouth and nose with a damp handkerchief, and staggered out in the choking smoke and firelight.

She knew that most of those who died in the fire were not burned to death, but smoked to death, so she covered her mouth and nose and tried to exhale through the damp veil.

In the confusion, someone grabbed her arm and dodged a fallen beam that was burned overhead. The flames that flew from the burning wood as it fell to the ground burned Jiang Nianhan's ankles and calves, and she gritted her teeth so that she didn't scream in the burning pain.

Although she was covered with a wet veil, the smell of smoke still made her unable to open her eyes, and she was half-dragged and half-hugged away from the house, and as soon as she took a breath of fresh air, Jiang Nianhan rolled her eyes and fainted.

When I woke up again, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a white figure beside me, with a somewhat familiar look.

Jiang Nianhan thought it was his hallucination, his eyes blinked a few times, revealing a coquettish smile: "Doctor Bai, I didn't expect that I could see you next to me in my dreams, it's really fate." ”

"It's good that the second lady wakes up." Bai Yihe's face was faint, and his eyes fell on her wound that had been medicated and was tightly wrapped in white gauze at the moment.

Maybe it was because of the excessive smoke and dust inhaled, Jiang Nianhan only felt a dry itch in his throat, and coughed non-stop as soon as he said a word, Bai Yihe didn't say much, just helped her up, and said to Bi Tao and Yue'er who were serving in the room: "Let the old lady, Mrs. Yun, Mrs. Jue and the eldest lady inform you that the second lady has woken up." ”

It seemed that these people were waiting outside, and the first one to rush in was Jiang Nianwei, who ran to Jiang Nianhan's bed in small steps and asked with concern, "Han'er, how do you feel about your body?" ”

And the old lady, Yun Niang, Jing Jue and Song Yue followed behind, in front of outsiders, the old lady had to make a look of caring about her granddaughter, and said softly: "Yes, Han'er, how could there be a fire in your room suddenly?" It can make us elders frightened, if it weren't for Wei'er, she was clever, and remembered that Doctor Bai was in the capital, and asked him to come over for treatment, otherwise you wouldn't be able to wake up now. ”

In and out of her words, she was quietly complimenting Bai Yihe - after all, she was from the Jin Palace, Jiang Nianwei proposed someone to invite, and when they came, they also gave face to the General's Mansion, and the old lady couldn't do anything else.

"Fire ......" Jiang Nianhan frowned slightly, her gaze swept over the faces of several people in the room one by one, and then fixed on the face of Sing Yue.

"It's her! It's Aunt Singyue who set fire to me! Just because I said last time that the child in her womb may not be her father's, she wants to take revenge on me! As she spoke, she was already crying.
