Chapter 262: Crazy
In the middle of the night, it was quiet, but the Yufu was hung with lanterns high, and the voices of people were boiling, and there was no peace.
In the plum garden, the second aunt apricot blossom cried with rain, sadly instructed her subordinates to find Miss Zhu San, and promised a lot of money that whoever could find Miss Zhu San would take out five hundred taels as a reward, that is, she could provide a useful clue and get a reward of ten taels of silver.
In an instant, the whole house was boiling.
People die for money, birds die for food, not to mention such a good thing without effort, everyone has put down their work to find Miss Zhu San.
A few days later, Miss Zhu San found it, but she didn't know what stimulation she was and became crazy.
The second aunt found a doctor to treat her, saying that she had lost her heart and was crazy, and she had been ruined before, and then she was confused, she didn't match her words, and she acted strangely. Seeing this situation, the big guys all say that it is the nature of mother and daughter.
The second aunt sighed and said to Mrs. Zhu: "Pity this child, suffer such a great crime. As he spoke, he stepped forward to Miss Zhu San's side, stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch the top of her hair, but Miss Zhu San was swept away at once, shouting "go away", and trembling and hiding in Mrs. Zhu's arms, looking at the second aunt vigilantly, as if she would harm herself.
Seeing that Miss Zhu San was so emotional, the second aunt withdrew her hand with a smile and explained: "It seems that this child is so stimulated that she doesn't even remember me, the aunt who is usually closest to her." He turned his head to Shu's mother and instructed, "Go and invite the best doctor in the town again, and be sure to heal the third lady, and all the expenses will be recorded in my name." He turned back to the sad Mrs. Zhu and said: "Sister, although my niece has become like this, she has no chance to take the position of young grandmother, but after all, she is a relative, and she is also my favorite niece, so don't go home first, stay in Yufu first, and wait for her illness to get better, not to mention that if you go back now, I am afraid it will cause a lot of criticism, and the reputation of the eldest niece and the second niece is not good." ”
Mrs. Zhu had complained about Miss Zhu San before.
But anyway, Miss Zhu San was spoiled in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she was unhappy before, seeing her so miserable now, the maternal side was suddenly stimulated, and where did the mother and daughter have an overnight feud? Miss Zhu San's dependence on her made any dissatisfaction disappear in an instant, and she resumed her previous doting, hugging her tightly and not letting her be hurt.
She thought that the Yu Mansion could not stay, because Miss Zhu San disappeared in the Yu Mansion, she took the younger daughter away, and let the eldest daughter and the second daughter stay to compete for the position of the young grandmother. But hearing the second aunt say this, she felt that it was not unreasonable.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Zhu sighed, and said some words of thanks to the second aunt for the first time.
The second aunt smiled slightly, and left with a large group of maids and mothers-in-law.
Around the corner, she gave her mother a look and asked her to turn back quietly.
After the second aunt left, Miss Zhu San's excited emotions slowly calmed down, and she lay quietly and obediently on Mrs. Zhu's shoulder, not speaking or making noise, her eyes were wide open in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Mrs. Chu told her eldest and second daughters to close the door and told them not to let anyone approach.
Miss Zhu and Miss Zhu knew that Mrs. Zhu had something to ask her little sister, and they also felt that this matter was very strange, in order to find out the truth and gain a firm foothold in Yufu in the future, they went to close the door in person, and stood at the door on the left and right to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.
After everything was arranged, Mrs. Zhu coaxed Miss Zhu San to sit down on the small pestle in front of her, lowered her voice, and asked lovingly, "My son, who hurt you?" Who made you like this? Don't be afraid, tell your mother, your mother will be angry for you! In her mother's heart, her children are the best, so Mrs. Zhu didn't believe that Miss Zhu San would go crazy at all, guessing that she was probably afraid of the people who killed her behind the scenes, so she pretended to be crazy. Moreover, in Miss Zhu San's behavior of being so afraid of the second aunt just now, Mrs. Zhu faintly guessed that maybe this matter was the hand of the second aunt.
It's just that Mrs. Zhu thinks about it and feels that this makes some sense.
Before the second aunt tried her best to make her youngest daughter Yu Shiyi's young grandmother, and also used tricks to separate their mother and daughter, but now she persecuted her daughter, it seems a little unreasonable, after all, under her conspiracy, the relationship between herself and her youngest daughter can be said to have been frozen, and there is no need for it at all. Besides, the position of the young grandmother has been determined to be her daughter's, didn't the second aunt cut off her own way by doing this? She is not afraid that outsiders will seize the position of the young grandmother of Yufu?
Miss Zhu San seemed to not understand what Mrs. Zhu said, and looked at her with a confused expression with her fingers in her mouth.
Mrs. Zhu thought for a moment, pretended to look intimidated, and asked coldly, "Is it your aunt, is it that Yang Yunyan who hurt you?" ”
Hearing the name of the second aunt, Miss Zhu San's pupils shrank slightly, but there was nothing abnormal about the others, she still looked at Mrs. Zhu blankly, and after a while, she fidgeted and made a fuss, asking Mrs. Zhu to play with her, and she looked like she was only four or five years old.
After asking several times in a row, Miss Zhu San was still like this, Mrs. Zhu sighed, stepped forward and hugged her and cried quietly, "My son, my hard-working son......"
When Mrs. Zhu was sad and upset for Miss Zhu San, she didn't know that Mother Shu was eavesdropping on their conversation in the corner just now.
Shu's mother went back satisfied and told her second aunt what she heard.
The second aunt breathed a sigh of relief, just now she was really worried that Miss Zhu San was pretending to be crazy to paralyze her.
Now after listening to Shu's mother's words, she was relieved, and then asked about another plan, "How is Liu Ye's matter?" ”
Hearing this, Shu's mother smiled and said: "It's all in place, as long as you are 'poisoned', she will report the eldest lady, and by the way, the matter of the third lady will be involved." As he spoke, he poured a cup of warm water in person, and took out a small boxy paper bag from his arms, then opened the paper bag, and slowly poured the white powder in the paper bag into the tea cup, watching it slowly melt in the water, and then took the tea cup to the second aunt, and said: "After taking this medicine, it will behave like poisoning, the lips will be black, and the face will be white." But in fact, this is just a laxative, and it also has the effect of detoxifying and nourishing the skin, but it looks a little scary on the outside. ”
The second aunt nodded, took it from Shu's mother's hand, and asked, "When will this medicine take effect?" ”
Mother Shu replied, "It's about two hours later, and if you drink it now, it should have a seizure in the middle of the night." ”
After listening, the second aunt shook her head clearly, frowned and drank all the tea in the teacup.
"When this thing is done, you can settle down with Liuye." The second aunt wiped the tea stains on her lips with a silk handkerchief and instructed her mother.
Shu's mother said: "Liu Ye is not a vain life, she can still do a few things for your aunt before she dies, bring wealth to her family, and she is a well-deserved death." ”
The effect of the medicine was very fast, and the second aunt felt a little dizzy.
She saw that her mother was confident, and knew that tonight's events would definitely hit the eldest lady's heart at once, and waved her hand weakly, letting her go down, she had to rest for a while, and only when she woke up did she have the strength to watch a good show and show her innocence. As everyone knows, when the second aunt was proud, a thin figure flashed quickly in the window, and then jumped into the low bushes in the courtyard, and soon disappeared into the thick night.
Yu Shiyi was in the house asking Dr. Li about the prescription for treating the plague.
Dr. Li sighed and said dejectedly: "I have never encountered this disease, and I am afraid it will take some time to develop a corresponding formula." ”
The plague is not too serious now, especially in the past few days, the weather has been hot and has not spread.
Yu Shiyi was worried that the plague would break out before, but seeing the current situation, he put his mind at ease and comforted Dr. Li: "Don't be too anxious, study it slowly, and this plague is not too serious now." ”
Regarding Yu Shiyi's words, Dr. Li disagreed.
The plague is like a ticking time bomb, and it doesn't know when it will explode.
Therefore, after talking to Yu Shiyi for a while, he went back to his room and continued to study the prescription for suppressing the plague.
Doctor Li didn't go for long, and a thin figure flashed into Yu Shiyi's inner room, and the figure seemed to be a black shadow that flashed in front of the second aunt's window before.
Yu Shiyi was not much surprised by the arrival of this black shadow, but sat down calmly and asked, "What did you find?" ”
The figure gradually came out of the dark shadow and came to Yu Shiyi, and the flickering candlelight illuminated his face, which turned out to be Yu Zheng with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He replied: "Tonight, the second aunt will act and blame the eldest lady for her own poisoning." That Miss Zhu San has a lot of eyes, pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of everyone, even in front of Mrs. Zhu, she is also calm and stupid. However, it is fortunate that she is like this, otherwise, I am afraid that the second aunt will find out and cause trouble, and she will have no hope of revenge. ”
Yu Shiyi pursed his lips and said, "I didn't expect that idiot to have a bit of brains, and it was not in vain that I saved her life." ”
It turned out that Yu Shiyi had been secretly sending people to observe the movements of the eldest wife and the second aunt.
On that day, Miss Zhu San was attacked by the second aunt's people and secretly transported to a ruined temple in the suburbs, and called a few ragged beggars to try to give her the courtesy of Zhou Gong, but Yu Zheng rushed to save her.
Yu Zheng brought Yu Shiyi's words to her and asked her, "Are you going to fly away from now on?" Or do you want to go back for revenge? ”
After such things, no matter how stupid Miss Zhu San is, she understands that although she can be peaceful for a while, according to the second aunt's heart, she will never let herself go, and may even affect her mother and family, gritted her teeth, told Yu Zheng all the things she knew, and told Yu Zheng that she chose the latter, went back to take revenge, and sought justice for herself. Later, Yu Zheng arranged for Miss Zhu San to pretend to be humiliated, as for pretending to be crazy, it was completely Miss Zhu San's idea.
Reality proves that it is fortunate that Miss Zhu San's pretending to be crazy can make the second aunt more and more unscrupulous, step by step into the trap tailored for her by Yu Shiyi, just waiting for the turtle to be caught in the urn.
