Chapter 237: Panicked
Mother Ge said softly: "It will take a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, and you have to be careful to take care of it for some time." ”
Old Lady Xie's eyes were red: "I've lived a lot of years, but I have to endure this," said this, a little resentment appeared on her face, "In this family, I can't live in this house for a day." ”
Mother Ge said distressedly: "The old lady is injured like this, if the uncle knows about it, he will definitely be sad." ”
Mrs. Xie clenched her hands tightly: "I don't know what happened to that child." ”
Mother Ge served Mrs. Xie to get dressed: "Don't worry, uncle can take care of himself, for the sake of today, it is most important for you to take care of your body, otherwise there will be something to follow." ”
Old Mrs. Xie nodded and stopped talking, and let Mother Ge serve.
After dressing up, Mother Ge lifted the tent and asked Mrs. Xie to lean on the small couch next to the bed, and then went out to invite Mrs. Seven.
Xu Qinghuan and the Seventh Lady walked all the way into the Xie family, and took a closer look at the surrounding situation, as a side branch of the Xie family, the Xie family's mansion is not very big, and there are not many servants who come and go, and there are white lanterns hanging in the courtyard, revealing a gloomy atmosphere.
Mrs. Xie's courtyard was very quiet, and a few people walked out with their heads down, and then a person dressed as a maid brought a basin of water into the door.
The steward came and said, "Miss Jiang, wait a minute, my old lady will invite the two of you to come in after she has freshened up." ”
Xu Qinghuan felt very strange, since Mrs. Xie needed someone to serve, why did she send all her subordinates out, what was the inconvenience of being like an old lady.
After a while, the green curtain was lifted, and the housekeeper's mother stepped forward and smiled, "Ladies please!" ”
Walking into the room, Xu Qinghuan only saw an old woman leaning on the small couch, her face was sallow, her eye sockets were deep, and her lips were pursed and she looked very haggard.
"Old lady."
The Seventh Lady and Xu Qinghuan stepped forward and saluted.
Old Lady Xie said weakly, "Sit down." ”
While speaking, a maid had already brought tea up.
The Seventh Lady frowned: "How did the old lady become so sick." ”
It's okay not to say anything, mentioning this matter, Mrs. Xie's eyes were red: "The family is in a mess, how can I not get sick, I knew that this is the case today, I might as well leave earlier, so as not to suffer so much, Yanniang is gone, I am already sad in my heart, I didn't expect to send back the news...... Say...... It was Brother Yun who made the killer. ”
Mrs. Xie said as she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
The seventh lady said: "In the past, I only heard that you have a beautiful woman under your knees, what is the reason for the trouble to this point, I shouldn't have come to ask, but there are still many people who ask me for news, there are not a few people arrested in the Taiping Mansion, and people are panicking everywhere, I'm afraid there will be something wrong." ”
Old Lady Xie looked at the Seventh Lady: "Brother Yun was wronged. ”
"The yamen has been clarified."
Before the Seventh Lady could speak, a voice came from behind the Seventh Lady, and the Seventh Lady just covered the figure of the person tightly, and the old lady Xie needed to lean forward to see it.
"Find out what?" Old Lady Xie moved a little bigger, a little uncomfortable, and she frowned to cover up the past.
"The old lady is not strange," the seventh lady said, "This is my cousin, and I will intervene because I am concerned about this matter, and Xie Yun's matter has indeed been evidenced." ”
Mrs. Xie didn't know what to say, so she just wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "I'm old, if I'm in good health, I'll go to Beijing and ask what's going on." ”
In the past few days, she has been crying like this, and everyone will not ask any more, Mrs. Xie used such a method to beg to send the Jiang family away earlier.
As soon as Mrs. Xie thought of this, she only heard the seventh lady say: "I heard that Grandma Xie went out on a trip, and after coming back, she was poisoned and died." ”
Someone from the yamen had already come to ask about this matter yesterday, but I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.
Old Madam Xie looked at the Seventh Lady: "Why are you so curious about this case, the yamen has already come to inquire, I don't want to say it again." ”
"Old lady, when did you get hurt?"
Hearing this, Old Madam Xie was stunned, she looked behind the Seventh Lady again, and this time the person behind the Seventh Lady showed a face, just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
Xu Qinghuan pointed to Mrs. Xie's leg: "You are not sick, you should have an injury on your leg, you have been leaning on the soft couch for so long, but you don't dare to move your lower body, when did you have this injury, my sister knows a Lang Zhong, who is good at treating external diseases, if Mrs. Xie is willing, she will invite him, and he will definitely be cured of the disease, and he will suffer a lot less." ”
Mrs. Xie's eyes deepened, and she came back to her senses in a moment: "My leg is also an old disease, I was walking in the garden a few days ago, and I accidentally fell down, probably injured my bones, and I have applied medicine, but now it is much better." ”
"When was that?" Xu Qinghuan then asked.
Without waiting for the old lady Xie to speak, the housekeeper's mother said: "If it is not a disaster, it is also a few days ago, and it is not only because of a leg disease, I heard that the eldest grandmother is seriously ill, and the old lady fainted there in a hurry." ”
Xu Qinghuan nodded, the two masters and servants spoke satisfactorily, as if there were no mistakes.
"Old lady, how did your grandmother treat you when she was alive?" Xu Qinghuan continued.
Mrs. Xie was already a little impatient: "That's naturally very filial." ”
Xu Qinghuan said: "But you watched her suffer so much and be poisoned again." ”
"What are you talking about," Old Lady Xie's voice suddenly became very loud, and her whole person was like a beast that could eat people, staring at Xu Qinghuan deadly, and then moving her gaze to the face of the Seventh Lady, "You just let her say such things...... Come on, invite the two young ladies of the Jiang family out, I don't want to see them again. ”
"The people who get along day and night are suddenly gone, how can there be no doubts in their hearts, not to mention that Grandma Xie was fine when she walked out of the house, after the death of Grandma, someone must always change her clothes, there are so many housekeepers in the Xie family, no one has found the clue?"
Listening to Xu Qinghuan's words, Mrs. Xie's face was ugly, and she suddenly covered her forehead and pretended to faint.
"Old lady, old lady," the housekeeper's mother immediately stepped forward to help, "go and ask Langzhong, the old lady is seriously ill." ”
There was a mess in the house for a while, and the housekeeper's mother stretched out her hand to put down the curtain, and someone immediately came to invite the seventh lady and Xu Qinghuan out.
was sent all the way to the door, and the gate of the Xie family slammed shut.
The Seventh Lady looked at Xu Qinghuan: "What can I do about this?" ”
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "I really shouldn't say it too directly, but I also have to say it." ”
The Seventh Lady was a little surprised: "Why is that?" ”
Xu Qinghuan said: "Where is the back door of the Xie family?" Madame and I will find out the result in a moment. ”
……
At the back door of Xie's house.
About half an hour later, someone opened the door carefully, and then a figure poked out from inside, the person looked around, and suddenly found Xu Qinghuan in the corner, and the whole person was startled and was about to walk back.
"Don't you have something to say to me?" Xu Qinghuan said, "You don't want to know how your mother died?" ”
