Chapter 42: The Bloody Man in the Ancestral Hall
"What!" Zhao Yuanyuan was furious and kicked at the maid.
"The eldest lady is angry, angry." The grandmothers hurriedly persuaded and asked the maid again: "What the hell is going on, how can a good person not see it?" ”
The maid's face was full of grievances: "It's really gone, the slave and maid went over to look, but there was no one in Sijing Garden, and there was a mess in the master bedroom, as if someone had fought there......"
Zhao Yuanyuan realized something, trembled with anger, and shouted: "Find it for me!" Gotta find her out for me! ”
She felt that Liu Yunyi was a little unusual these days.
Even if the house hid the news from Liu Yunyi, Liu Yunyi didn't know that the clan elder was coming, but the sacrifice in previous years was also at this time, and Liu Yunyi would definitely be able to guess it. Moreover, Liu Yunyi has never been absent from the sacrifice in previous years, this time she didn't let Liu Yunyi participate, so Liu Yunyi didn't doubt it?
It seems that Liu Yunyi has been prepared for a long time, so she is waiting for her to be with her today!
Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes were full of violence, and he really pinched Liu Yunyi's heart in an instant...... But the premise is that she has to find Liu Yunyi!
"Ask the porter, and then go to the backyard and ask the groom. As long as she doesn't leave Liufu, she will definitely still be in the mansion, and quietly tell all the subordinates to pay attention to the whereabouts of the third lady, and report it immediately if she finds it! ”
Zhao Yuanyuan calmed down a little, and said: "In addition, arrange for people to guard the front hall and ancestral hall to death, and once you find the third lady, I will be arrested immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
As a result, this search was half an hour, and the servants searched inside and out of the front yard and backyard, but no one had seen Liu Yunyi this morning, let alone knew where she was.
Zhao Yuanyuan had no choice but to be vigilant, and temporarily brought Liu Lianyi and Liu Linglong to participate in the sacrifice together.
However, on the other hand, because Zhao Yuanyuan had not arrived for a long time, the ladies in the three rooms and four rooms naturally complained constantly.
"Sister-in-law is really unkind, she can sleep in a daze on such an important day as the sacrifice, and she actually left us here to hang ......"
"This is not just unkind, this is simply not polite. If my sister-in-law dares to do this, I'm afraid she won't be directly retired to her parents' house! ”
These women didn't speak so viciously, but it was this ridicule on the left and the weirdness on the right that made the people around them even more upset and irritable.
The second room is vain and arrogant, and he has always been unaccustomed to Zhao Yuanyuan's shelf, and after listening to his wife's complaints, he couldn't help but echo: "The eldest brother is not here, this family has really become her Zhao Yuanyuan's master?" It's okay if a few of us were left aside, but my uncle came all the way over, and she didn't even pay attention to her uncle for today's sacrifice......"
The elders of the Liu family were a little embarrassed.
The eldest and most authoritative second uncle even breathed a bad breath in his heart.
poked his cane to the ground in a heavy manner: "The Liu family sacrifices, when do you need the consent of the surnamed Zhao!" A woman who can't even manage her son well, let's find a way to persuade her son back first! ”
After speaking, he raised his feet and walked towards the ancestral hall.
The others followed one after another, and the two-bedroom and three-bedroom self couldn't help but steal fun, and their faces were full of schadenfreude.
The family members and attendants of Liufu naturally didn't dare to stop them, and when they saw that they were about to enter the ancestral hall, they were busy helping to open the door.
As a result, the moment the wooden door opened, everyone was stunned - they saw two slender figures kneeling in front of the tablets of the ancestors of the Liu family, and one was unconscious on the ground.
What's even worse is that the three of them are covered in blood and are all embarrassed!
The attendants were the first to come back to their senses, and their sharp eyes recognized the person kneeling in the middle, who was the third lady that the eldest lady was looking for.
They didn't know what to do, they only remembered to obey the order of the eldest lady, and when they saw this, they walked directly into the ancestral hall and went to catch Liu Yunyi without saying a word.
Liu Yunyi seemed to have just woken up at this time, and she hid back in a panic: "What are you going to do?" Don't touch me! ”
But because she stayed up all night, her body was very weak, and although she escaped the "evil claws" of the attendants, she also fell to the ground, and could only cry and beg in a low voice: "Don't come here...... Don't come over ......."
When he spoke, his body trembled slightly, his eyes were red and he wanted to cry, this weak and helpless appearance was like a wounded little white rabbit.
At this time, everyone outside the door also came to their senses.
"Isn't that the third girl?"
"It looks like it, but I remember that the third girl had a big birthmark on her face......"
"I must have thought of some way to give it, and it looks really good, but this face is as white as paper, and there is no blood at all."
Everyone whispered, but the attendants still refused to give up, and even opened their bows left and right to forcibly move Liu Yunyi away.
The second uncle of the Liu family finally couldn't stand it anymore, and slammed his cane on the floor and shouted, "Stop!" Dog minion, that's how you treat your young lady? ”
The attendants were shocked by the scolding, and they both knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "It was ordered by the eldest lady, saying that when you see the third lady, you will take the third miss to her......"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yuanyuan was involved, he was really the master of the power pit.
Liu Yunyi wiped his tears aggrievedly, and couldn't help but praise the attendant in his heart.
Sure enough, Mrs. Erfang ridiculed: "The day before yesterday, the sister-in-law clearly said that the third girl was sent to the countryside to recuperate and couldn't come back, but it's good today, the third girl actually appeared in Liufu out of thin air." But she didn't let us see the three girls, and she planned to hide the three girls, what kind of etiquette is this? ”
Mrs. Sanfang also sneered: "These three girls are covered in blood, they look really pitiful, they are sixteen or seventeen years old, and their body is even thinner than that of fifteen-year-old Linglong, I really don't know what life has passed." If this is spread out, it will be said that she Zhao Yuanyuan treats her concubine harshly, and there will be people who say that our Liu family is right and wrong......"
With several hats buttoned down, Zhao Yuanyuan's crime is not light.
At this time, the third master opened his mouth, and finally led the topic to the point: "That girl was kneeling in the ancestral hall early in the morning, still covered in blood, I'm afraid she was waiting for us to come, what do you want to say to us......"
Liu Yunyi quietly clenched his palms, took a deep breath, and staggered up from the ground.
Then he raised his eyes and saw a group of clan elders and elders standing at the door, pretending to find out that everyone was coming at this time, and he was immediately shocked, and quickly broke free from Xia Ju's support, and made a false gesture to everyone.
"I've seen the second uncle, the third uncle, the fourth uncle, the second uncle and the third uncle, and the second aunt coughing and coughing......" said and said a heart-rending cough, and everyone frowned when they heard it.
"Enough!" The second uncle roared.
Liu Yunyi was about to think that this person was old and confused, and he couldn't hear her coughing, but the next moment he heard the second master say: "First I lied that the third girl was not in the house, and then I didn't participate in the sacrifice for a long time, not to mention the blood stains on the third girl's body...... Invite your eldest lady over, I want to ask her whether this family is surnamed Liu or Zhao! ”
In this way, he is going to make decisions for Liu Yunyi.
Liu Yunyi was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that she would have to put on a good performance, but she didn't expect that things had completely developed in the direction she expected.
After all, she had prepared for the worst before-the Liu family didn't want to make the scandal bigger, so she would settle the matter.
The knife on the back of her hand was in vain.
However, although he was happy in his heart, he still had to pretend to be aggrieved on his face, so he took out the appearance of a little daughter-in-law and continued to be stunned in place, but tears crackled and wet his whole face, and he was unspeakably sad and aggrieved......
Zhao Yuanyuan was on his way to the ancestral hall, and was informed of what happened in the ancestral hall, and he was so angry that his forehead was bruised.
The last thing she wanted to happen, she didn't expect it to happen.
What a good Miss Liu San! What a Liu Yunyi!
"Mother, this ......" Liu Lianyi said on the side, worried.
is probably worried that Zhao Yuanyuan's emotions will be out of control and if he loses his temper in front of the clan elders, he will be led away by Liu Yunyi.
But Zhao Yuanyuan has passed the most annoyed time, and now she is calmer a lot.
I only heard her sneer: "These old immortals of the Liu family, they value the face of the Liu family the most, what kind of storm can a mere Liu Yunyi who is not valued set off?" She is worthless in front of the overall honor of the Liu family! I'm going to see if those old immortals will help her or help me later......"
Liu Lianyi nodded, but still didn't forget to remind: "The third sister came back this time, and the whole person looks like she has changed a lot, so it's better for my mother to be cautious." ”
"Listen to the ripples."
Zhao Yuanyuan promised on his face, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.
In her heart, she naturally thought that Liu Yunyi was the stupid girl who lacked heart before.
It's no wonder that she is proud, after all, Song Rushuang has been dead for ten years, and Liu Yunyi has been begging for a living under her oppression for the past ten years. In her opinion, Liu Yunyi is just a bun that has not been planted, and her temperament is shy and timid, and she can't become a climate at all.
Even if she disappeared for two months this time and experienced something to change her personality, people always have only one brain, and it is impossible for her to suddenly open her mind and become smart.
Zhao Yuanyuan is full of confidence, Liu Yunyi is useless in front of her!
With Liu Lianyi and Liu Linglong with him, Zhao Yuanyuan rushed to the ancestral hall in a hurry.
There were already a lot of futons in the ancestral hall, but now there are one person at a time, and more than 20 people are crowding the room. As soon as Zhao Yuanyuan arrived, he was looked at naked by more than 20 pairs of eyes.
In this regard, Zhao Yuanyuan has been prepared for a long time.
She didn't seem to notice the eyes of the second and third rooms and others watching the show, and her eyes quickly locked on Liu Yunyi, who was kneeling in the middle of the crowd.
Before the clan elders could speak, she exclaimed, "My three girls! ”
As he spoke, he quickly ran towards Liu Yunyi, his brows tightened, his expression was in a hurry, and his face was full of pity.
"Early in the morning, I asked the kitchen to boil abalone porridge for you, but the girl sent it to Sijingyuan but said that she didn't find you, but she was in a hurry for her mother, and she took your two sisters and maids to almost turn the house upside down, but I didn't expect you to be in the ancestral hall."
She hugged Liu Yunyi into her arms, but as if she was afraid of hurting Liu Yunyi, she hurriedly let go of her hand and asked lovingly: "What kind of crime have you suffered here, tell your mother quickly, my mother will be your master!" ”
In just a few words, he not only showed his concern for Liu Yunyi, but also picked himself out cleanly, and even put out a righteous and awe-inspiring housewife, which is really amazing.
The clan elders originally had a lot of complaints about Zhao Yuanyuan, and the words of scolding and questioning were already stuck in their throats, but they didn't expect to be gently and skillfully pushed back by Zhao Yuanyuan.
Liu Yunyi almost couldn't help but cheer for Zhao Yuanyuan.
It's just that who can't act like that......
