Chapter XXVI
A few days later, one morning, Ye Hao was having breakfast, Miaolan hurriedly ran in from the outer room, and as soon as she entered the room, she said, "Miss, it's really as you expected."
Crimson wondered, "Miao Lan, what's wrong?" Did something happen? ”
Ye Hao had already guessed what Miaolan would say, so she was not in a hurry, she drank the porridge slowly, mixed the lean porridge with a spoon, and said unhurriedly: "But something happened to Aunt Liu?"
Miao Lan nodded, and said exaggeratedly: "I heard Amber say that the second master knew that he was angry in Aunt Liu's yard." After speaking, he shuddered again, paused, and said: "Actually, Aunt Liu is also very hard, and she has a concubine ......."
Crimson saw that Ye Hao's face was calm, as usual, and she was not curious about Aunt Liu, so her heart moved, and she said, "Miss, what do you think?"
Ye Hao shook her head: "Aunt Liu's child is gone, who is it good for, who knows in his heart, this is a mess in the second room, we don't have to meddle, but ......" Her eyes flashed, and she continued: "In any case, grandmother must be sad and sad, after all, it may be a grandson......"
Miao Lan said: "Miss is going to see the old lady?"
"No, I don't have to go to my grandmother now, she's just sad, and it's not pleasing to go." Ye Hao shook her head, she understood that if her grandmother lost her grandson, she might anger others, and it was inevitable that she would not hurt the pond fish, and she would not be so stupid to hit the muzzle of the gun.
Hyakuju-in
The old lady almost couldn't believe the news, Aunt Liu's child is gone? She had a gloomy face, sat on the couch, listened to her mother-in-law trembling and kneeling on the ground, talking about it in a trembling voice, and she didn't open her mouth for a long time, as if she had Coptis chinensis in her mouth, and it was bitter.
The mother-in-law was ordered by the second lady to tell the old lady about such a bad thing, she was already sweating, and the cold sweat condensed into beads of sweat with her sideburns, hanging on her face, but she didn't dare to wipe it, she only knelt on the ground and didn't say a word, and she didn't dare to look at the old lady's face.
The old lady covered her chest with her hands in pain, and kept muttering, "Why is this? What a child, if it's gone, it's gone, my good grandson! ”
Mama Wen on the side was busy comforting the old lady and comforted: "Old lady, you have to pay attention to your body, the second master will still have children."
Even if she said this, the old lady was depressed in her heart, her face was solemn, and she was angry, so she asked the mother-in-law: "You tell me, why is the good child gone?"
The mother-in-law immediately made a frightened expression, trembled, met the old lady's sharp and fierce gaze, and unconsciously lowered her voice: "The slave doesn't know, I only know that Aunt Liu gets up in the morning, and the child is gone......"
When the old lady heard this, she laughed angrily, nodded her head incessantly, and shouted: "It's all restless things, I can't see anyone pregnant, I can't wait to get rid of my good grandson, I want to see who is so bold."
This is, it is necessary to investigate this matter thoroughly, after all, it is impossible for Aunt Liu's child to disappear for no reason.
…………
Aunt Liu was lying on the bed, the sheets had been changed, and the middle coat had been changed to a clean one, her face was pale, and her palm-sized face was full of tears, and the tears were like pearls with broken threads, dripping on the pillow and submerged in the pillow.
She was born with a fox, and when she cried, she was also quite moving, pitiful, and lovable.
The second master got the news and hurriedly came to Aunt Liu's yard, and saw the beautiful concubine who had always been pampered crying pear blossoms with rain, her pretty face was white and bloodless, her nose was red, and her eyes were like a pool of spring water, tears couldn't stop flowing, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed, very pitiful, I felt pity.
If it was usual, the second master couldn't help but take her into his arms and love her, but now, he didn't have this charming mood, he finally became a father again, but this child is gone, how can he not be angry or hateful.
When Aunt Liu saw that the second master was coming, she cried even more, and added a cry with emotion: "Master, our hard-working child...... Woohoo......"
The foxy and touching little face, as well as the teardrops, aroused the second master's pity, and he hurriedly strode to the bedside, stretched out his hand to cover Aunt Liu's softness, touched a few handfuls, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely catch the real murderer who killed our children."
When Aunt Liu heard about the child, she felt even more bitter in her heart, she thought that she was pregnant, if she gave birth to a child, it would be the mother who was more expensive than the child, and she would enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, but now, I don't know which slut dared to harm herself and calculate herself.
"Master, you must be the master for me, our child is so wronged, someone must have harmed the concubine's child! ......" Aunt Liu threw herself into the second master's generous arms, crying her chest up and down, almost choking, and inhaling sharply.
The second old man was also sad in his heart, the good child said that it was gone, there must be something strange in it, his face was cold, and a pair of eyes swept to the maid who was standing and waiting as if he had been quenched, and shouted: "You say, why is the aunt and the child gone?" Otherwise, I will make you look good! ”
Those maids hurriedly knelt on the ground, shaking their heads one by one, panicking, and said they didn't know, they knew how precious the child in Aunt Liu's belly was, so they were cautious and cautious on weekdays, whether it was the aunt's food or clothes, they paid special attention to their eyes, who knows, the child is still gone.
They knew that the second master was angry and might kill them to accompany the child, but they didn't want to die, so they all knelt on the ground and begged the second master to spare their lives.
The second master shouted: "Sixi, come on, if you can't say who harmed Aunt Liu, I want your life!"
Sixi, who was named, stiffened, tears flowed, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Second master, the slave doesn't know anything, the slave and the maid take care of the aunt on weekdays, and the aunt is fine, the aunt only ate a little bird's nest last night, and she didn't eat anything this morning, but she got up and found that she had a miscarriage...... The slave and maid have been wronged......"
She was incoherent, thinking that she was frightened, but she repeated this sentence back and forth, and the second master asked those maids and daughters-in-law, but she couldn't ask anything, and she didn't know.
The second old man was furious, which made the originally gloomy face even more terrifying, frowned, his fingers clenched into fists in his sleeves, and he said coldly: "Okay, you don't say it, come here, pull them all down for me, and each of them will be punished with twenty canes, and then they will all be sold to the house!" The second room doesn't need such useless minions. ”
For a while, the house was full of wailing, which maid wanted to be sold to the house, not to mention whether she could stay under the stick, how could she eat these twenty sticks, even if she survived the cane, she would have died half a life. So, he knelt on the ground and begged the second master for mercy.
When the servants heard the second master's order, they hurriedly came in and dragged these maids outside, for fear that the second master would be angry.
"Wait!" The second lady walked over with Mama Feng and Amber and a few maids, and when she saw the maids and women in the courtyard, she frowned unhappily and scolded, "What is this?"
When the second master saw that the second lady was coming, his face eased, and he was still cold, and hummed: "These Diao slaves, don't tell the truth, don't give them some color to see, don't know how good I am!"
The second lady's face was as gentle as ever, and she hurriedly walked to the second master's side, pretending to be concerned, "Master, don't be angry, it's not worth it for these people." ”
The second master glanced at Lin, answered, and ordered his subordinates to be executed.
Lin rolled his eyes and stopped the second master, the second master was puzzled, looked at her, and silently asked her what she meant.
Lin Shi said softly: "Master, if you dispose of these maids, how can you find out the truth of the matter?" It's really inappropriate to let the real murderer go unpunished. ”
The second master was right to think about it, and he was almost angry, so he said: "According to Madame, what should it be?" These maids and women don't know ......" paused, and then said, "Madame, is there a way to get them to speak?"
Lin knew the temperament of the second master, so he hurriedly comforted him, let him dissipate his anger first, and then turned around, his eyebrows were sharp, his eyes swept towards those maids and wives like ice, and said coldly: "On weekdays, which one takes care of Aunt Liu?"
A mother-in-law in a dark purple cardigan stood up from the crowd and whispered: "Mrs. Hui, it is the slave maid who takes care of the aunt, but the slave maid is not harmless to the aunt's child, Mrs. Mingjian."
"Then let me ask you, Aunt Liu, have you eaten anything since last night?" Lin bowed slightly, his voice was slightly cold, and with a bit of penetrating coldness, he looked at the woman.
The mother-in-law wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, knelt on the ground, grabbed the corners of her clothes with her hands, and tried to recall what Aunt Liu had eaten since last night...... And then the child was gone......"
After speaking, he fell to the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
"Bird's nest?" The second lady muttered softly, glanced at the woman again, softened her tone, and still asked in a cold voice, "Is that bowl of bird's nest still there?"
In fact, it stands to reason that this bowl containing bird's nest should have been accepted by the maid a long time ago, just because Aunt Liu didn't let the maid serve her close last night, but it was a coincidence that the bird's nest bowl was still on the table and was not accepted.
The mother-in-law thought that she had a chance to atone for her sins, so she hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Hui, I haven't taken that bowl yet, it's still on the table."
Sixi's face turned pale, this bird's nest has been cooked by himself, and he also looked at it and sent it to Aunt Liu, don't make a mistake on the bird's nest! She prayed in her heart to the Buddha to bless her from the catastrophe, hoping that nothing would go wrong with the bird's nest.
The second lady looked back at the second master again, after all, the second master is the head of the family, and she can't compromise the majesty of the second master, even if she has an idea, she has to ask the second master before she can act.
The second master nodded, and the second lady glanced at him, and then said: "I thought about the strangeness of Aunt Liu's miscarriage, so I took it upon myself to ask the maid to invite Dr. Lin to come over and show Aunt Liu."
Dr. Lin was carrying the medicine box on his back, first saluted the second master, and then stood aside in a regular manner, waiting for the second master to speak, so that he could act next.
