Chapter 14: Regaining Grace

Ah Xian never gave Zisu an answer to these questions, but Zisu would not have any doubts about Ah Xian in her heart, and decided that Ah Xian would only help her.

Regarding the day Ah Xian said goodbye, the old woman doubted Ah Xian's identity, and Zi Su didn't have time to ask about these two things, she had already followed Aunt Song into the Zhou Mansion.

Fortunately, Ah Xian had been prepared, and before Zisu entered the Zhou Mansion, he told her a place for this secret contact, which was a loose brick in the corner of the Zhou Mansion Garden, and the two could communicate through this place.

The phosphorus powder needed for the hands and feet of perilla on the day of Zhou Jinming's May Seventh was all delivered to the Zhou Mansion through this brick joint.

In order to completely expose Zhou Qingming's killing of Zhou Jinming, Ah Xian deliberately pretended to be a girl in the painting boat, and scared Zhou Qingming half to death by pretending to be a ghost, and finally revealed a flaw.

Ah Xian said that she had a grudge with the Zhou Mansion, what kind of grudge was it, Ah Xian never said.

Since Zhou Chenming suspected Ah Qian's identity, it was better for her to hide for a while.

Zi Su thinks that the most important thing in front of him is how to get rid of Zhou Qingming's entanglement.

After Zisu entered the Zhou Mansion, he learned that Zhou Qingming was a lustful person, and that guy was scared by Ah Xian once, and it is estimated that An will not be able to share it for a few days, and then he will find trouble for himself.

Ah Xian can't help her if she doesn't leave, she can only be self-reliant.

That night, Ah Xian thought of a lot of ways to get rid of Zhou Qingming, but he felt that there was no suitable one, and after thinking about it, he went to sleep in the third watch.

Early in the morning, Aunt Song ordered her to go to the opera garden to watch the play today, and let Zi Su accompany her.

After Aunt Song arrived at the opera garden, the owner of the opera garden came out to greet her in person, very polite and polite.

Ah Xian said that this opera garden is Aunt Song's property, looking at the boss's groveling appearance, it should be similar, after arriving at the opera garden, Aunt Song was arranged in a special room on the second floor of the stage.

The room is in the style of a gatehouse, half of the room protrudes above the theater garden, and a window with carved beams and paintings is facing the stage, and you can sit by the window and watch the play.

Aunt Song entered the room, there were already prepared tea and pastries, and the people who served them were very skilled.

"Auntie, this room is so nice, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful place, it's good to watch a play without being disturbed by others."

Aunt Song said with a smile: "This drama garden was bought for me by the master, if I am disturbed, others will not be able to watch the show." ”

This once again proves Ah Xian's statement, if Ah Xian hadn't stopped Gu Junyi at the beginning, the two of them would have really been exposed.

Thinking of Gu Junyi, Zi Su couldn't help but think of his parents and younger brother, and he didn't know how he investigated, could he find any clues? Although Zisu knew that her parents were killed by Zhou Qingming, she had no evidence, and she could only temporarily pin her hopes on the upright poor reporter for the revenge of her parents and younger brother.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Aunt Song arrived at the opera garden, the gongs and drums sounded, and the singing officially began on the stage.

Aunt Song was too intoxicated with the plot, and hummed a sentence or two from time to time.

After a while, the owner of the opera garden came in and whispered a few words in Aunt Song's ear.

Aunt Song turned around and glanced at Zisu.

"Shisu, your unsuccessful brother is outside the opera garden, seems to be waiting for you, what are you going to do?"

"Brother?"

Zi Su was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of her and Gu Junyi's deception of Aunt Song by pretending to be brother and sister, and she didn't come back to her senses for a while.

Aunt Song thought that Zi Su hated her brother, just as she hated her own brother back then.

"Auntie, my brother is waiting for me to think there is something, can I go down and talk to him?"

Aunt Song said: "Your brother treats you like this, what do you see him doing?" ”

Zi Su told a lie, "I have been dependent on my brother since I was a child, we came to Jinling from Hangzhou, my brother took care of me all the way, what he did to me made me hate him very much, but think about me now I follow my aunt to eat and drink, my aunt is very good to me, and I can't bear to let my brother live alone in Jinling." ”

Aunt Song sighed too much, "You are still a good fate, my own brother, never treated me as my own sister." Shiso, it's rare that you're so kind, go ahead. ”

Zi Su went downstairs, went out to play the garden, and saw Gu Junyi pacing back and forth at the gate of the garden.

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong with me? ”

Gu Junyi said with a smile: "You have been in the Zhou Mansion for so many days, and I don't know your news, but when I learned that Aunt Song would come to see the play today, I came to see your situation." ”

"I'm fine, Aunt Song is too good to me."

"Then I'll rest assured, since that's the case, then I'll go back first."

"Mr. Gu, have I found any evidence of my aunt's family's bloody case?"

Gu Junyi shook his head, "There are no clues at the moment, but don't worry, I must investigate this matter clearly." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Gu."

"You're welcome, you and I are brothers and sisters."

At the mention of this, Zi Su couldn't help but feel a little nervous, she was worried that this matter would be discovered by the Zhou Mansion, knowing that Gu Junyi and herself were not brother and sister.

After all, Gu Junyi is a reporter and often shows up, and the people in the Zhou Mansion will be exposed as soon as they investigate.

Zi Su expressed the doubts in her heart, Gu Junyi smiled and said: "Don't be afraid of this, Aunt Song is not so shrewd, she won't take care of too much of the affairs of the Zhou Mansion, and she doesn't dare to take care of it, in this life, she listens to dramas and raises her son, it is estimated that she will be satisfied." ”

"That's great, but if you come to me later, don't come to the garden. I have a secret place where you can pass on the news of my aunt's family if you have it. ”

Zi Su did this, even if he protected himself, he also wanted to protect Gu Junyi from being implicated.

She was about to tell Gu Junyi the place where Ah Xian transmitted the information about the brick joints in the back garden of the Zhou Mansion, but she heard a sneer in the distance.

"Yo, isn't this the girl in Aunt Song's room? Is this a lover? ”

When Gu Junyi heard the voice, he didn't raise his head, turned around and ran away.

Zi Su turned his head and saw Tan Suyun, the second young grandmother of the Zhou Mansion.

Tan Suyun continued to sneer with a disdainful expression: "Sure enough, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, Aunt Song came out of the opera garden, and she didn't forget to let the girl come out to meet her husband when she came to watch the play." I heard that our third young master has taken a fancy to you, you are such a sneaky lover, the third young master will peel off your skin when he knows it. ”

Zi Su bowed her head and saluted, "Second young grandmother, that was my brother just now." ”

"Your brother?"

Tan Suyun looked at Gu Junyi's back for a while, and said to herself, "Why does this person look a little familiar?" ”

Zi Su was worried that Tan Suyun would recognize Gu Junyi's identity, "Second Young Grandma, you are the noble young grandmother of the Zhou Mansion, how can you be familiar with my unsuccessful brother, it must be that the Second Young Grandma has lost her eyes." ”

Tan Suyun snorted, "Look at it or not, it's not you who have the final say, dead girl, do you think I have bad eyes?" ”

Zi Su couldn't offend anyone in the Zhou Mansion at the moment, pretending to be afraid, and quickly knelt down, "The second young grandmother forgives the sin, the slave knows that she is wrong, and asks the second young grandmother for forgiveness." ”

Tan Suyun saw that she was very well-behaved and sensible, and she didn't embarrass her, and walked into the opera garden with arrogant steps.

Zi Su watched outside for a while, and when she didn't see Gu Junyi returning, she entered the opera garden.

Aunt Song's room, Tan Suyun is also in it.

The two sat opposite each other, both with unpleasant expressions on their faces, obviously the two had just had a quarrel.

Tan Suyun saw Zi Su come in and raised her eyelids, "Aunt Song, I just saw this girl having a lover outside, she said it was her brother, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Aunt Song said: "I asked her to see her brother, is this wrong?" ”

Tan Suyun sneered, "Who knows if it's my brother or my brother, I think they look like they want to love their brother." Aunt Song, I'm afraid you learned from you what this girl did, right? ”

Aunt Song stared at Tan Suyun and said angrily: "Suyun, I am your elder, you talk so nonsense, regardless of dignity and inferiority, you really lose your identity." ”

Tan Suyun said with a smile: "I don't need to be reminded of my identity by your Aunt Song, but what I want to remind Aunt Song is that you came out to watch the play during my eldest brother's funeral, is this what you should do?" ”

"The eldest young master has died, is it possible that the elders are going to guard his filial piety?"

"Aunt Song, you really put gold on your face, you mentioned three times and twice that you are an elder, for the subordinates, you are an elder, for me, you are just a play."

"Tan Suyun, you came to the opera garden specifically to give me a bad feeling, right? This opera garden was bought for me by the master, and it was also stipulated by the master, so that I can watch the play four times a month, don't you know? ”

Tan Suyun sneered: "Of course I know, you gave birth to a son, in exchange for a drama garden, you have a drama, which just complements the opera garden, in line with your identity, if you don't come to the opera garden, where else can you go?" ”

Aunt Song's identity, even the younger generations of the Zhou Mansion don't respect her.

Zhou Chenming, Zhou Qingming never put her in his eyes, Aunt Song often feels depressed because of this, but fortunately, she can come to the opera garden every month to listen to the play, and her heart will be more comfortable, at this moment Tan Suyun ran to the opera garden to ridicule herself, and she became more and more uncomfortable.

In the past, there was no favor from the master, and they were openly and secretly ridiculed and belittled themselves, Aunt Song knew that it was Mrs. Zhou's idea, and she wanted to drive her out of the Zhou Mansion, especially after Aunt Song gave birth to a son, such provocations intensified.

A few days ago, Master Zhou suddenly went to Aunt Song's room, and these people restrained a little.

"Tan Suyun, if you have nothing to do, leave and don't delay me watching the show."

Aunt Song was so helpless that she issued an eviction order.

Tan Suyun said with a smile: "If I hadn't seen your girl having a lover outside, I wouldn't have come to this kind of pickled place, I kindly came to tell you, you don't appreciate it but let me go, Aunt Song, the master goes to your room for a trip, you are so arrogant, is it difficult for the master to go a few more times, you just want to replace the wife, let your son become a son-in-law, and share a lot of the Zhou family's property." ”

The meaning of these words was understood by Aunt Song and Zi Su, and it turned out that other people in the Zhou Mansion were worried that Aunt Song's son would divide the family property, so why had they been trying their best to exclude her and embarrass her for many years.

Zi Su couldn't help but worry about Aunt Song's situation, and at the same time felt that this was also a good opportunity.
