Wenji Building is one of the library pavilions of the Taishi Mansion, and of course there are people on duty here in the past, but today because it is Chinese New Year's Eve, the servants here are also assigned to use it, and the courtyard door on one side is just empty, and the third lady has just entered the first floor, when she hears a strange movement, I don't know who left the lock outside.

The third lady still walked inside, walked around the rows of bookshelves, and saw the fourth master sitting on a chair in front of the window.

She was angry, and at the same time helpless, and there was another extremely complex emotion, which was surging in her heart at an inopportune time.

"Why did the third sister-in-law come here?" Although Zhao Xicheng was surprised, he could still act seriously.

"Could it be that the fourth uncle is also here to find a brother?" The third lady asked.

"Brother Fang? When I came over just now, I saw Brother Fang talking with Lan Ting, how could he be in Wenji Building? Zhao Xicheng hurriedly explained: "It was the second brother who asked me to come here and wait for him, saying that he had something important to discuss with me, but because he still had to have a few words with the second uncle, let me come here first." ”

"I heard the maid Yingxian say...... "The third lady seemed to think of something, and walked out before she finished speaking, Zhao Xicheng hurriedly followed out, but he couldn't open the door of the courtyard that had been locked.

The sister-in-law and the brother-in-law were locked in a secluded place, which obviously revealed a sense of conspiracy.

The third lady was anxious and wanted to shout, Zhao Xicheng sighed: "In the past, few people passed by here in Wenjilou, but today there are people with ill intentions, I'm afraid no one will come here, sister-in-law don't waste her strength." ”

"Is it difficult for them to calculate?"

"My sister-in-law and I are innocent, not afraid of slander by others, and wait with peace of mind, someone will come to open the door and let me go." Zhao Xicheng calmed down: "The weather is cold, sister-in-law, please go indoors and wait." ”

The uncle and sister-in-law were in a building and a courtyard, and there was no word to talk.

The second old man naturally will not come to Wenjilou, at this moment he is "socializing" with the second old lady, and there is no match chatting and gossiping, but it makes the second old lady full of impatience - this nephew of his, when he sees him when he is young, he is like a mouse seeing a tanuki, how can he be pestering him to talk endlessly today, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and the second old lady is immediately on guard.

"The fourth brother also told me last time that the second uncle had a box of good tea in his collection, which was a top Yangxian boutique......"

Second Old Lady: !!

Is the second nephew trying to get good tea from his uncle?!

"Speaking of the fourth brother, why didn't you see him in a blink of an eye?" Zhao Zhoucheng continued to act.

"Maybe he is full of wine and food, and Xicheng is worried about his wife and daughter, and he is busy with the family reunion, don't look for him." The second old lady was busy and wanted to pull her fourth nephew to drink tea? This is no way, the last time I tasted tea, I was just caught up by the four nephews, so distressed that the old lady I didn't dare to move the willingness to taste tea for a month, and I could only grit my teeth and endure it when the addiction came, so it was easy to look forward to the New Year, thinking that I would go back at night and quietly brew a pot for exclusivity, and then I was calculated by my nephew...... Old lady, I didn't even want my son to let them taste the tip of their tongue.

Worried that the good tea collection would be remembered by his nephew, the second old lady was trying to get rid of Zhao Zhoucheng's entanglement, but saw a little guy running over in a panic: "Master, it's not good!" ”

"What nonsense, don't look at what day it is!" Zhao Zhoucheng reprimanded with a frown.

The little girl cried with a sad face: "The second lady sent someone to pass the word, saying yes, saying yes, Aunt Meng somehow saw red, and the whole person fainted......"

Now the second master is in no mood to teach the little guy a lesson, face

As soon as the color changed, he ran out.

The second old lady frowned, secretly thinking: It's really a crime, this nephew's concubine room is one after another, but the concubine's small birth can't count how many times, then the Peng family is really too jealous, and dares to pick the Chinese New Year's Eve to rush the concubine!

Zhengjue was ridiculous, and the second old lady saw that Lan Ting had stopped his anxious uncle, and the old lady hurriedly went over to watch, and was listening: "Nephew, let Ah Zhuang rush to see a doctor." ”

"Qiao Zhuang is afraid that he will not be empty today!" The flustered Zhao Zhoucheng showed his feet without paying attention.

"How can it not be empty?" Lan Ting's face was full of surprise.

Tang Hui just came to report at this time: "Uncle, there was an accident in the Jijitai platform, the slave Jianqing next to the second girl somehow fell down the stone steps, and the eldest grandmother called Da Qiao to go for treatment, and the uncle should go quickly." ”

Second Old Lady: !!

What's going on today, one accident after another, what's even more paradoxical is how the second child of the long house seems to know that the maid will fall down the steps first, otherwise how can he conclude that Qiao Zhuang will not be empty?

"Take my post first, and ask Dr. Gao to make this trip." Lan Ting told Tang Hui.

Zhao Zhoucheng saw that Lan Ting didn't hold on to the truth of "not empty", and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't stop Tang from going back to ask Imperial Doctor Gao to see his concubine, and continued to run away.

The second old lady frowned: "Today's one thing is one by one, I am afraid that the Chinese New Year's Eve will not stop." ”

"Yes, for a while, I may be able to work with my uncles and fathers-in-law, and I will clearly judge these ugly things." Lan Ting was also extremely helpless, and did not pretend in front of his second uncle and grandfather that he didn't know.

The second old lady's face became even more solemn.

Lan Ting naturally didn't follow the second master to pay attention to Aunt Meng first, and had to rush to Jijitai to fight side by side with Chungui, but halfway through, he met Chungui and followed Mama Su, in the direction of Hesitation Garden.

"Uncle." Mama Su greeted Lan Ting first, with a solemn look on her face: "The old lady asked the eldest grandmother to go to the garden for questioning." ”

Lan Ting looked at Chun Gui: "How is Jian Qing?" ”

"The injury is extremely serious, and Ah Zhuang said that he can only try his best." The spring return is also full of condensation.

Mama Su seemed to want to say something, but she moved her mouth but held back.

Lan Ting accompanied the spring back to the Hesitant Garden, the old lady sat in the main hall, with a public trial, and the "jury" was headed by the second old lady, including the third old lady, the fourth old lady, and many uncles and aunts including the fourth lady, Lan Xin stood beside the old lady, and her eyes cried like walnuts.

Lan Ting's gaze did not linger on his sister.

"Brother Ting is also here." The old lady breathed heavily as soon as she said a word, but today she did not allow Lan Ting to sit down as before: "It's good that you are here, just listen to how domineering your daughter-in-law is now, Sister Xin, don't be afraid, today grandmother must administer justice for you, you repeat what you just said in front of your brother." ”

Lan Xin lowered her eyebrows, showing a weak heart, but she seemed to be frightened by grievances.

"I listened to Sister Qin say that I hadn't seen the third sister before, so I wanted to take them to see the third sister, because I had never hugged the third sister, so I wanted to try to hug her and tease her, but the third sister's nurse Mother Feng opened her mouth and said that I would hurt the third sister, I was not convinced, but then the fourth aunt of Lian also dissuaded, I didn't be reckless, but Feng's mother suspected that I deliberately used hot tea to scald the third sister, not only the words were ugly, but I couldn't help but compete with me for the tea bowl, I was annoyed Feng

My mother deliberately provoked, unwilling to let go, accidentally scalded Feng's mother during the fight, my sister-in-law just caught up and said a few words to me, I thought about it more and more scared, worried that my sister-in-law would listen to Feng's mother's instigation, and said in front of my brother that I was willful, the more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, Jianqing persuaded me to ask my sister-in-law to send the kite, so I explained.

How do I know that my sister-in-law didn't listen to my defense at all, saying that I was deliberately causing trouble, and said that I had a mother and no mother, and I was used to fighting fiercely, saying that my brother would not listen to my quibbles, and this time I must be punished severely, I was anxious and angry, and I didn't want to ask my sister-in-law again, I just wanted to go to my brother to explain first, but my sister-in-law grabbed me, and Jianqing hurriedly helped me break free, but my sister-in-law was ...... He pushed down the steps. ”

As soon as Zhao Lanxin's words fell, the old lady hurriedly shouted angrily: "Brother Ting, you can hear clearly, the good daughter-in-law you married, even said that Sister Xin has a mother and no mother, such a domineering and fierce shrew, you can't cover her up and favor her this time!" ”

"Grandmother can't convict the second sister with one-sided words." Lan Ting said lightly.

The old lady's pretentious body stiffened, and she slapped the handle twice: "Why don't you listen to and believe, why don't you only believe in Gu's sophistry, Sister Xin is the sister-in-law of your mother's compatriots, you are so ...... If it weren't for Jian Qing's loyal protector today, the uncertain life and death would be Sister Xin'er! In this way, you are still protecting this evil woman with a femme fatale's heart, how can you be worthy of your sister, how can you be worthy of your deceased mother! ”

"The sister-in-law kept saying that Brother Ting favored Brother Ting's daughter-in-law, and added another word, so she didn't specifically refer to this time, so dare to ask the sister-in-law if she could give an example, which time did Brother Ting favor his daughter-in-law before? Was it the last time that the brother-in-law found out that the second daughter-in-law had embezzled public funds, or the sister-in-law who listened to the rumors and helped Diao Nu and Rou to force the daughter-in-law of the court to take her as a concubine? The second old lady sneered: "The two things I said, Brother Ting can be clearly judged in front of everyone, and he is very fair and selfless, how can he listen to and believe it?" ”

"Second brother-in-law, today the slave and maid beside Sister Xin'er fell and was seriously injured, but it's a fact, Sister Xin'er has always valued Jianqing, and she has also argued with Gu's theory in order to keep Jianqing, you can't say that Jianqing was pushed down the steps by Sister Xin'er! At that time, there were only a few people on the platform, who else could there be if it wasn't for Gu's hands? ”

"Then you have to listen to what Brother Ting's daughter-in-law has to say." The second old lady said.

"There is no need for the lady to defend herself, I believe that today's incident is definitely not the fault of the lady." Lan Ting said categorically.

At this time, even the second old lady was suspicious in her heart, frowning and not saying anything more.

"Brother Ting, you are, you are ......"

"Grandmother doesn't need to rush to charge her grandson, Ah Zhuang is treating Jian Qing, maybe she can rejuvenate her hand, and Jian Qing will naturally explain the situation at that time." Lan Ting's words were said to the old lady, but his eyes were staring at Lan Xin.

Many of the relatives present also looked at Lan Xin following Lan Ting's gaze.

Lan Xin's knees trembled.

The original plan was not like this, originally Jian Qing would not have helped Gu Shi speak, but because of the stumbling block she made...... Jian Qing fell so badly, in case he felt resentment because of this, in case he was really rescued by Qiao Zhuang and told the truth......

No, don't worry, Jian Qing obviously knows that this time it is not my own opinion, if she dares to talk nonsense, her life will still be difficult to protect!

Lan Xin quickly stabilized his mind.

She didn't pay attention to the anger and disappointment in her brother's eyes.

Chungui sighed silently, but stood more firmly beside Lan Ting.
