Chapter 36: The Fish Takes the Bait (3)
Mother Xu saw that she seemed to be ruthless, and she was a little panicked, "Aunt is trying to ......"
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Bai stopped her words, raised her hand and pointed outside, and there was faint laughter outside, it was the Lanyi sisters who arrived.
As soon as the curtain was beaten, it was Lan Yi who came first, followed by Miaoqing Miaoyun, Xu's mother hurriedly stepped forward and entertained: "Today is so complete, the girls have come to my aunt's place." β
Pei Miaoyun smiled and said: "Originally, I asked the second sister to go to see the eldest sister together, and while talking, it was just time to set the meal, and after discussion, I felt that it was the least troublesome to eat here with my aunt, so we all came over." β
Aunt Bai was very reluctant to see Lan Yi recently, but she had to maintain peace on the surface, and said lovingly: "It's okay, thinking that you are all about to get married, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to get together to eat together, just sit down quickly, I'll ask someone to serve the food." β
Although Pei Miaoyun has gone farther away from Pei Miaoqing during this time, her habit of constantly honking her small mouth makes her still can't help but say to the people around her: "I don't know if I can get used to other people's meals when I get married in the future, have you ever worried about this, second sister?" β
Pei Miaoqing's marriage was difficult to decide, she was very annoyed, and she was lazy about everything, so she just replied: "If you marry into the prince's mansion like the eldest sister, are you afraid that you won't have dazzling delicacies from the mountains and seas, and then I'm afraid that you will even forget the taste of your own food." β
Lan Yi thought it was funny, everyone avoided Prince Gong's Mansion before, but now they seem to treat it as a sweet spot, but it's a pity that she came over today, and there is another important thing to do, otherwise it would be easy and interesting for the sisters to talk about these things.
With chopsticks and bamboo shoots in her stomach, Lan Yi felt that it was almost over, and suddenly looked up and said to Aunt Bai: "Auntie, I heard that Li Langzhong, who previously gave my aunt a baby, is now in the capital, and I want to invite him to my home to ask a few words." β
Aunt Bai swallowed the rice in her mouth, and didn't seem to be too concerned, "What do you ask, the eldest girl is about to get married, don't just look at the outsider." β
Lan Yi smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter, I want to ask my father to meet with me, so that there won't be any bad words." When my aunt died due to childbirth, I have always had some doubts in my heart, and I wanted to ask why I had a pulse diagnosis at the beginning, but Lang Zhong always said, 'Very good, very good', but at the last moment, there was such a bad situation. β
How could Aunt Bai let Pei Gui interrogate Li Xing carefully, and stopped: "These questions, the eldest girl asked a few years ago, and Renlangzhong also said that the lady has a hidden disease, which can not be seen at once, before giving birth, the hidden disease was exposed, and then something happened, and it was useless for the eldest girl to chase after it, why bother with old things before getting married?" Listen to my aunt's words, in the past, let it pass, lest the old man think that the girl is stunned again, and make any unpleasant trouble. β
Pei Miaoqing also agreed, "That's it, eldest sister, the way you quarreled with Daddy before, it was really scary, you could still say that you were ignorant when you were a child, and now if you come out like this again, someone should say that you are not filial." β
"This matter has nothing to do with the second sister, so it's better not to put your beak at will." Lan Yi gently scraped the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, and said slowly: "People's hearts will change over time, Li Xing has been practicing medicine for so many years, maybe there will be some kind of changes, in case he remembers any details, or has an uneasy conscience, and wants to say something, that is, God can't bear my mother to die in vain, auntie, don't you say?" β
She raised her head and looked at the person opposite, "Naturally, my mother was in charge of the family when my aunt was in charge, and she was in charge of everything, if she could think of something, she could also tell her father." No matter who attacked my mother, after all, it was a family, and it was really harmful to people's thoughts, and if I sincerely repented, my father and I would forgive. β
Aunt Bai had fifteen buckets of water in her heart, and Lan Yi didn't give her a chance to think about it, so she deliberately put the spoon on the porcelain plate on the side, making a crisp sound, like a horn of attack, which made the meat on Aunt Bai's body tense, and Lan Yi continued: "Eat well, the food here is really fragrant, and when I become Princess Gong in the future, I won't be able to eat it, it's a pity to think about it." β
Aunt Bai's palms were sweaty, pinching the handkerchief and saying with a smile: "Why can't you eat it, if you think about it, just bring someone over with a message, and Aunt Bai will send it to you when the kitchen is ready." β
Lan Yi looked at her and said: "It's good that my aunt sent it over in person, I can still keep my aunt for a while, if my father doesn't compete with me, my aunt won't come back, just accompany me in the palace, and stay with me." β
The words "always accompanying", she bites the words clearly and heavily, with a cold smile, like a life-seeking ghost probing into Aunt Bai's mind. Aunt Bai felt that her throat was a little dry and smoky, and she couldn't speak for a while, no matter what she did for so many years, she was not a little afraid of doing good or bad things, and finally revealed her fear in the sudden continuous events.
When the sisters left one after another, and the leftovers on the table were also removed, Aunt Bai immediately clasped Xu's mother's hand, as if she wanted to find some support, and asked, "What should I do, this girl is crazy!" β
Mother Xu was very stable and comforted: "Auntie is too anxious, you have always looked like a mother in front of the eldest girl, why do you always have to hold your identity in the past few days?" And many times, when you are afraid of yourself, this horse's feet are exposed. β
Aunt Bai said: "I said before, I can't let this girl marry into a good family, she is usually like a poisonous snake, and she bites people if she is cold, and now no matter how bad her husband's family is, she has thrown me as an aunt for 108,000 miles in terms of identity, and she can threaten me more openly, you can't hear what she means?" β
Mother Xu whispered: "The slave really can't hear it." What kind of situation is King Gong, don't you know, let's do our own thing, what can the big girl do to you? The daughter who won't marry out will turn around and meddle in the affairs of her mother's family. β
"Why not." Aunt Bai gritted her teeth, eager to tear Lan Yi apart, "What she means today is that even if I can't find out the truth, if I get married in the future, I will think of tossing me, if I go to Prince Gong's Mansion and don't come out alive, won't I always accompany her?" β
Mother Xu was stunned, "Are you saying she dares to kill?" It's scaring the slaves! Dashun has the king's law, even if she is the daughter-in-law of the saint, she doesn't dare to do such a terrible thing indiscriminately! β
Aunt Bai sneered, "Which is more important than my life and the life of a princess?" Maybe for the sake of the Pei family's face, the master will think of ways to help her cover up, this girl is a crazy person, she dared to contradict the concubine before, and beat people ruthlessly, there is nothing she can't do! β
"So, what are we going to do?"
Aunt Bai gritted her teeth, and suddenly showed some ruthlessness in her eyes, this kind of ruthlessness, when talking about Feng Ying many years ago, Mother Xu also saw it on her face, "They all say that they don't do anything, they let go of Li Xing at the beginning, but now they must not be soft-hearted, it just so happens that in the past few days, you have also inquired about the inn where he stayed, and you want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." β
Mother Xu has helped Aunt Bai do a lot of unsightly things such as lending money and collecting black money for so many years, and she has some contact with the doorway, and after thinking about it, she asked: "The big girl, I suddenly learned that Li Xing was gone, so I want to continue to make trouble, right?" β
Aunt Bai was silent for a while, and suddenly said with some compassion: "This girl is already suspicious of me, but she is too tender after all, thinking that if she scares me, she can let me take the initiative to tell me about that incident in front of the master." Now that she has made it clear that after marrying into the palace, she will rely on her identity to make me unable to live, how can I sit still? Putting a good life on the go, but if you have to be so concerned about an old thing, the good luck of the big girl should come to an end. β
Mother Xu was really scared, "Auntie, do you want to ...... But the eldest girl is the princess set in the holy decree, in case of a big trouble, how to explain ......"
Aunt Bai sighed, "I treated her so well before, she always felt that I was a Buddha with a temper, and it was not unreasonable for this person to be bullied." She is so noisy, even if she doesn't want my life, in this life, I can't sit on the position of the main mother, where can I suffer this grievance. After being a housekeeper for so many years, she has always been too naΓ―ve to me, and her little means are just a little girl who thinks she is sorry. This Gong Wangfu, she probably didn't have the life to go in. β
really involves her own interests, Aunt Bai's undisguised face is really chilling, Mother Xu has been by her side for many years, and she knows that if she can say this, she is really angry, and she can't be persuaded back, and this Pei Lanyi doesn't exclude her on weekdays, if she gets rid of it, it will be really happy.
"You command, the slave must do things beautifully, this big girl has moved away, the position of the master mother belongs to you, and our second girl will be better in the future." Mother Xu gritted her teeth and said.
On the surface, the happy event of Pei's house is getting closer and closer, and the banquet that was scheduled to be placed at her mother's house seven days later was almost ready, and only a few people knew that at that time, at that time, Miss Pei, who fantasized about marrying in a beautiful way, was no longer alive.
After another four days, the day was getting westerly, and when it was getting late, Aunt Bai was collecting some utensils in the backyard, and a maid outside hurried over, and said after saluting: "Auntie, please go to the Wind Lotus Courtyard, the eldest girl heard that something was wrong." β
Aunt Bai knew in her heart, turned around quietly and asked, "What's wrong?" β
The maid said: "I heard that my body is very bad, so I invited a doctor to come and see it, and said that it was a serious illness." β
Aunt Bai nodded, called Mother Xu, and walked to the Wind Lotus Courtyard together.
On the way, she was not completely at ease in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "Li Xing has indeed solved it, right?" β
Mother Xu nodded, "That's right, those people are used to doing this kind of thing, as long as they have money, they can move neatly, and Li Xing is not from the capital, he reported that he was targeted by bandits and robbed his money and asked for his life, and the government didn't bother to investigate." β
Aunt Bai said "um", and said again and again: "Yes, all the things he has close to him have been sent to our eyes as dead evidence, and after inspection, there is no mistake, it is indeed over." After a pause, she asked again, "Are you sure it's okay with the big girl?" β
Mother Xu raised her eyebrows, looking proud, "Of course it's no problem, didn't the slave tell you, the dishes brought in, the six girls all ate them cleanly, counting the days, something should happen today, you see, she is not good now, doesn't it mean that that thing is useful?" β
Aunt Bai confirmed that she couldn't jump out of her palm in everything, she was comfortable and happy in her heart, thinking that she was going to see the annoying Pei Lanyi soon, she couldn't help but smile on her face, straightened her clothes, and walked towards Fenghe Courtyard with her neck raised.
Sure enough, when I arrived at the door, I heard a mess inside, and the people were running back and forth, looking hurried, and when they saw Aunt Bai, they all came to salute, and Aunt Bai was very determined, and asked one of them pretendedly: "What's wrong?" β
This little maid was originally Aunt Bai's person who was specially placed in the Wind Lotus Courtyard, so she couldn't hide it at this time, so she said directly: "Auntie, hurry up and take a look, the eldest girl vomited blood, and the doctor came and said, the girl is not good, I'm afraid it's tonight." β
Aunt Bai was so happy that she didn't pay attention to her anymore, she pinched a sad look on her face, walked quickly to the house, and cried and shouted, "My girl, why is it that such a great happy event is in front of you, and you have such a disease?!" β
Lan Yi was lying inside, and the candle next to her was swaying faintly by the people running around, which made her face even more dull and dull, and the bedding was in a mess, as soon as Aunt Bai entered, she smelled a strong bloody smell, and Ning Fu stayed by the bed, crying breathlessly.
Lan Yi saw her, squinted her eyes slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and said weakly, "Aunt is here." β
With only such a mouth, Aunt Bai had already seen the blood stains between her teeth, which was really terrifying, she couldn't bear to respond, and pushed Ning Fu again, "Don't cry, bring water, bring a spittoon, and wait for the girl to rinse her mouth." β
Lan Yi smiled miserably and said calmly: "If you don't use it, even if you clean it up, you can't cure the disease." β
Aunt Bai wiped her eyes and asked, "How did you get this way?" What about doctors? Call me and ask. Also, it's good to call the master over quickly, this is a big deal. β
Lan Yi looked at a few pots of yellowed and slightly withered flowers and plants placed next to the window, and said softly: "The doctor has made it clear, I have eaten a large amount of Xanthella by mistake, and my internal organs are damaged, and I can't survive tonight. β
Aunt Bai was stunned, and only after a long time did she hold her handkerchief and said sadly: "How could the eldest girl eat such a thing?" How good is this, is the master here? I'm a useless person, how can I hold up such a big thing! β
