Chapter 113 Take the opportunity to clear up
Her voice was not loud, but it was loud.
When Lingxiang saw her, she couldn't care about fighting the fire, so she threw the quilt in her hand and knelt down: "Auntie spare your life, aunt spare your life!" This fire was not put by a slave or maid! ”
Aunt Liu frowned, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard that the courtyard door of Fengzhai was pushed open, and the force was so great that it almost dragged the entire door down!
Yan's father and Liu's family hurriedly walked in with a few family members, and in a blink of an eye, they caught a glimpse of the fire in the side room, and hurriedly waved to the family members behind.
When Father Yan saw Aunt Liu, he hurriedly took a few steps to hold her from behind, and complained: "You person, why are you so close to the house that caught fire, what if you are injured!" If it weren't for Xiang Zhi going to the front to call someone, you would still be unable to plan to put out the fire yourself! ”
Aunt Liu half leaned on Father Yan, and looked at the incense on the side inquiringly.
Xiangzhi hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed at Yan Xiaoyu beside him: "It was this girl who asked me to call someone!" ”
Aunt Liu glanced at Yan Xiaowei quietly, lowered her eyes, and when she opened them again, she already had a bag of tears in her eyes, and she rolled down with a slight blink.
She choked up, broke free from Father Yan's hand and staggered forward, and when she went up, she gave Aunt Li and Lingxiang who were kneeling on the ground a slap!
Her chest rose and fell angrily: "Do you two wish I died?" I just lost my son yesterday and was heartbroken, but you guys are drinking behind my back! ”
She stretched out her hand and pulled Lingxiang's clothes: "Smell the wine on your body, how much have you drunk, and the drunk have set the house on fire?" ”
Ling Xiang was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, lying on the ground trembling and not daring to breathe.
Yan Xiaowei lowered her eyes and stood aside, and suddenly saw Ya Xiang next to her take a step forward, obviously wanting to intercede for Ling Xiang, she hurriedly grabbed her wrist under her sleeve and signaled her not to act rashly.
Ya Xiang's forehead was sweating, but she remembered Yan Xiaoyi's instructions not to say anything, as long as she pursed the corners of her mouth and stared at Lingxiang in front of her motionlessly.
Over there, Father Yan listened to Aunt Liu's words, his face sank, and his eyes swept over Aunt Li and Lingxiang: "That's how you two take care of your aunt?" I'm so drunk that I can't even burn down the house, can you afford it if my aunt has three long and two short? ”
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, I thought you were so old, and you have always been by your aunt's side, and you are a caring person who knows cold and hot, but I didn't expect you to follow a group of little girls to mess around!" ”
When Aunt Li heard this, a cold sweat flowed down her forehead, and with a wave of her fat hand, she pointed straight to Yan Xiaoyi, the master and servant who were standing on the side: "This wine and food today was sent by Mufeng Courtyard, it must be that she deliberately wants to get us drunk with bad intentions!" ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Yan Xiaowei picked the corners of her lips indifferently: "Aunt Li, what you said is not right, right?" Xiao Wei thought that you had been bothered to serve Aunt Liu for the past two days, so she specially made some wine and food and sent them to help you relieve your fatigue. But who would have thought that you would ignore the wine when you saw it, and drink it to death! ”
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the cliff incense beside her: "Look at the cliff incense that poured us, and now we are still walking and shaking with the smell of wine!" If I hadn't seen her come back for a long time, and came to listen to Fengzhai in the dark, I don't know how far you want to drink and what will happen! ”
Aunt Li's face shook, and a pair of eyes were squeezed into a slit, as if she was about to tear Yan Xiaoyu apart.
She trembled and pointed at Yan Xiaoyi's face: "You, don't you admit that something happened?" ”
Yan Xiaowei blinked innocently: "Aunt Li, it's true that I gave the thing, but I didn't force you to drink the wine, right?" You have served by Aunt Liu's side for so many years, when should you not drink, and how much you should drink, have you not counted in your heart? Besides, the fire in that room was obviously lit by you accidentally knocking down the candle flame when you were drunk and unsteady on your legs, and I didn't have anything to do with it. I saw that the situation was not good, so I kindly asked Xiangzhi to call someone, if you are not grateful, forget it, but you can't bite back! ”
Aunt Li always felt that this matter was inseparable from Yan Xiaoyi, but when she opened her mouth to speak, she couldn't show evidence, and she was both angry and irritable for a while.
She rolled her eyes, knelt on her knees and moved forward two steps, grabbed Aunt Liu's trouser leg with her fat hand, and begged for mercy with half-truths: "Auntie, I was wrong, you forgive the old slave for the sake of my many years of service to you!" ”
Aunt Liu had already seen that Yan Xiaowei wanted to make a big deal and took the opportunity to clear the Liu family's people from Tingfeng Zhai's intentions, how could she spare her at this time.
He retracted his leg angrily, and his voice was already cold: "Aunt Li, you have been by my Liu Hongye side for so many years, and you have helped me a lot inside and out." However, don't think that what you do behind my back, I don't know about Liu Hongye! I don't say it, it's just that I take into account our friendship for so many years, you really don't think I'm a soft persimmon, let you knead it round and flat! ”
Aunt Li's heart sank, knowing that there was something in her words that was serious, so she hurriedly took two steps forward, and the old tears were rampant: "Auntie, the old slave knows that he is wrong, please spare the old slave!" ”
As she spoke, she choked up and almost burst into tears: "I, Li Peilan, promise that I will never do anything sorry for your aunt in the future!" Please spare the old slave this time! ”
Aunt Liu was not moved by her pleading appearance at all, she almost tore the trouser leg from her hand in disgust, and her eyes were cold: "It's useless to say anything, I have given you a lot of opportunities before, but you didn't grasp it." Moreover, you are also old, although this is not big, but there are a lot of things inside and out. Your old age is no longer suitable for such a rush, I will be in front of the master today, and I will allow you to return to your hometown with two hundred taels of silver! ”
As soon as the words fell, the blood on Aunt Li's face faded, and her embarrassed hands and feet wanted to hug Aunt Liu's thighs, but Aunt Liu had already seen her intentions, and decisively dodged behind Father Yan to avoid it. Aunt Li pounced into the air, and simply lay on the ground and pleaded with Father Yan: "Master, my Qingtian master, please help the old slave intercede!" I, Li Peilan, am a widow, I have no children and no daughters, how can I let the old slave live when I leave the Yan Mansion! The old slave promises that in the future, he will behave in a proper manner, and there will be no more moths, please beg your aunt to intercede, let me stay! Even if you are a cow and a horse, you can't do it! ”
But Father Yan didn't even look at her, he took off the coat on his body and draped it on Aunt Liu, his eyes sank, and he said without looking back: "Since Auntie has settled down, let's do it!" When you're old, it's time to enjoy the blessings. It's getting late today, so let's pack up my baggage tomorrow and go out of the house! ”
Even Father Yan can't make sense, Aunt Li really wants to cry without tears. She looked sideways, and saw Liu standing on the side, as if she saw a life-saving straw, she hurriedly crawled over with her hands and feet, reached out and grabbed the corner of Liu's clothes, and begged wailing: "Big lady, you know best what is going on with the old slave, please beg the master to intercede, don't drive me out." Although the old slave has done something unseemly, he is not at your command......"
Before she finished speaking, the whole person was lifted to the ground by Liu's legs!
Liu Shi glanced at Father Yan in a panic, his willow eyebrows tightened, and his voice was particularly sharp in the silent night: "What are you talking about!" I think you are really old and confused, and you don't hesitate to splash dirty water on others in order to stay in Yan's Mansion! ”
As if she was afraid of Aunt Li's words, she said to the family members who had just put out the fire around her, "What are you still doing in a daze? It's getting late, and I still don't accept Aunt Li to go down to rest, and I have to hurry tomorrow morning! ”
When the housewife spoke, how could the family not listen, several people rushed up, holding hands and dragging feet, almost lifting Aunt Li's whole person.
Aunt Li thought that she had done a lot for the Liu family, and the Liu family would definitely help her if something happened! However, it wasn't until she was tied up by everyone that she knew she was very wrong!
She's like a chess piece, eaten when she's no longer useful. Thinking of this, her body writhed restlessly, stretched her neck and shouted: "Auntie, the old slave is wrong, give the old slave another chance!" The old slave must be loyal to you, someone bought me with silver money before, let me ......" Before she finished speaking, she was gagged with a stinky sock by a small guy next to her.
The words were not enough, her eyes were red, and her mouth was still unyieldingly let out a "whine" sound. However, even if she was unwilling to be annoyed anymore, the people around her did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and instantly took her away from Tingfengzhai and threw her into the firewood room in the backyard.
Aunt Li was carried away by everyone like a clown jumping off the beam, and Tingfeng Zhai suddenly returned to silence.
Father Yan helped Aunt Liu, turned his gaze to Ling Xiang, who was kneeling on the side, and asked coldly, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Ling Xiang saw that Aunt Li was kicked out of the house, and beads of sweat the size of beans instantly appeared on her head, and she couldn't stop kowtowing to Father Yan and Aunt Liu: "The slave is wrong, the slave is wrong, the slave and the maid should not drink and have fun when the aunt is sick." But it is really not about the slave and maid to go to the water, please ask the master and aunt to be clear! ”
Father Yan's eyes were cold, and he was just about to speak, but Aunt Liu in his arms suddenly spoke, and her body shrank into Father Yan's arms like she was afraid of the cold, and her voice was delicate: "Master, when will you finish asking, the red leaves are cold to death!" ”
Father Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled the coat draped on her shoulders, and said softly: "Soon, I heard that the fire in the side house of Fengzhai has just been extinguished, although it has been extinguished, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be an ember, why don't I let someone send you back to me first, and I will go to you when I finish the matter here." ”
