Chapter Seventy-Eight: Aunt Guan
Liang Yinong didn't answer anything in the end, and Shen Jing sent her away.
After sitting alone for a while, Shen Jing opened the door and went out, Liang Ju was not there, and Shen Jing didn't care where he was, so he called Qiu Yan directly.
"Call Aunt Guan over to me." Shen Jing sat on the main seat, and the expression on his face was very serious.
Mother Hu was in the yard, and when she saw Qiu Yan going out, she quickly frowned and entered the house, "Grandma, do you want to punish Aunt Guan?" ”
Shen Jing nodded and snorted, "I can't let Xiao Xuan leave like this." ”
"Grandma, what are you going to do?" Seeing Shen Jing's serious expression, Mother Hu felt that this young lady who had seen the eldest lady since she was a child had become different, and she couldn't guess what she was thinking in her heart.
Shen Jing hadn't thought of what to do yet, she had to figure out the ins and outs of the matter first.
"It's okay for the eldest grandmother to properly punish Aunt Guan, so that these concubines don't take you seriously, but don't punish you severely, if the punishment is severe, my uncle will also complain about you, Xiao Xuan is not here after all, you have to think about your status, don't stiffen the relationship with your aunt for a concubine." Hu's mother was worried that her master's doing too much would attract her uncle's dissatisfaction, and it would be of no benefit to her master.
Shen Jing listened to Hu's mother quietly, and there was no emotion on her calm face, and she didn't know if she listened to Hu's mother's advice.
Shen Jing knew that Mother Hu was for her own good, and she was just listening to it now, of course she wouldn't listen to her advice. Liang Ju has such an attitude, why is she still worried about having a stiff relationship with him, anyway, she is also thinking about leaving.
Mother Hu saw that Shen Jing didn't react, and was about to persuade again, when she saw that Qiu Yan had already led Aunt Guan over.
Guan Ling followed Qiu Yan into the hall, called Mrs. and bowed her head without speaking.
As if a game, Shen Jing didn't speak, just looked at Aunt Guan like this. There was a strange sense of depression in the quiet room, and Qiu Yan looked at Shen Jing like this, and there was a sense of pride in her heart for no reason.
I don't know how long it took, but everyone's thoughts flowed. I don't know how long it took for Shen Jing to finally speak, breaking the scorching silence.
"Aunt Guan knelt down for me just now to plead guilty, why don't you react at all now?"
After Shen Jing finished speaking, he looked at Aunt Guan with a sneer.
Guan Ling glanced up at Shen Jing, and then knelt on the ground, "Please punish the master." ”
Guan Ling knew that she had made a big mistake, and she took the initiative to ask for guilt to make her punishment a little lesser. Moreover, relying on the fact that she is Liang Ju's aunt, and Xiao Xuan is just a girl, thinking that Shen Jing will not be too out of line.
"Why did you have a quarrel with that girl of mine?" Shen Jing guessed that Aunt Guan probably wouldn't tell the truth, but at present, only she could ask.
As if thinking of something, Shen Jing immediately beckoned Qiu Yan over, whispered a few words in her ear, Qiu Yan glanced at Aunt Guan, turned around and hurriedly went out.
Qiu Yan's glance made Aunt Guan's heart tense, but for now she had to cheer up and talk back.
"Miss Xiaoxuan took the sachet to me that day, saying that I shouldn't give the young master this object, so we argued a few words, but I didn't expect Miss Xiaoxuan to say that I was shameless, and my girl Lin'er argued with her."
Guan Ling said this and glanced at Shen Jing, seeing that her face was calm and she couldn't see what she was thinking, she beat a drum in her heart, and could only continue: "Miss Xiaoxuan's words are getting more and more difficult to hear, my heart is high, I can't help but beat her, my girl also stepped forward to help, I stepped forward and dragged Miss Xiaoxuan, but I didn't expect Miss Xiaoxuan to fall down all of a sudden, bumped into it, and the result was ......"
The result speaks for itself, Xiao Xuan is dead. Shen Jing looked at Guan Ling, as if he wanted to see her through, and used this reason to deceive her Shen Jing, despising her too much.
"Aunt Guan has a high spirit, but she is not a person who is willing to be a concubine." Shen Jing scoffed.
Guan Ling was stunned for a moment, as if her heart had been seen through, she raised her head and said hurriedly: "Madam misunderstands the slave maid, the slave and maid don't dare to have any second thoughts." ”
Shen Jing sneered, how could she believe her words, even if she Guan Ling was not the person with a high heart, if she had the opportunity to be promoted to the main room, would she be willing to be a concubine?
However, Shen Jing didn't bother to pay attention to this at the moment, she changed her words and returned to the topic, "Where is the sachet now?" Take it for me to see. ”
How could Guan Ling keep the sachet, it was expected that Shen Jing would ask this, and he had already thought of a way to deal with it, "Because of such a thing happened to the sachet, I came to the young master that night and burned it in front of the young master." ”
Shen Jing's gaze became more aggressive, he didn't expect this Guan Ling to be so taboo about that sachet, and immediately asked, "Why did Xiao Xuan take the sachet to question you?" ”
Aunt Guan muttered for a long time before she spoke: "I embroidered two phoenixes on the sachet, and also embroidered the young master and my small characters. ”
When Shen Jing heard this, he sneered, "Aunt Guan, it's perfect for you to make up this reason. ”
Guan Ling heard that Shen Jing didn't want to believe it, and panicked in her heart, and calmed down before she spoke: "The slave doesn't dare to coax Madame." ”
Shen Jing snorted, "You've done all the murderous things, this little bit of coaxing people is not even easier." ”
Guan Ling raised her head and looked at Shen Jing, with two lines of tears on her face, and said in an aggrieved tone: "Miss Xiaoxuan did die because of me, but I didn't mean to, if I knew that it would be like this, how could the slave and maid do it?" ”
Shen Jing wouldn't believe Guan Ling because of those two tears. At this moment, Qiu Yan came back, whispered a few words in Shen Jing's ear, and then glanced at Aunt Guan, and then stood beside Shen Jing.
Shen Jingfu looked at Aunt Guan again, pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, and showed a sarcastic smile, "Aunt Guan, I'll give you a rough introduction, and you can see how it is different from what you described." ”
Guan Ling looked at Shen Jing in surprise, not knowing what she wanted.
Shen Jing didn't care about her, and said to herself: "A few days ago, Aunt Guan made a sachet for the young master, and at the same time made hands and feet on the sachet, but it was by no means as simple as embroidering a phoenix and embroidering a name. ”
Hearing this, Guan Ling's body shook involuntarily, of course, this subtle reaction did not escape Shen Jing's eyes.
During this period, the young master kept wearing it, until a few days ago, because Xiao Xuan was negligent, he didn't send this sachet to the laundry room, so he washed it himself, and then found the clue. With Xiao Xuan's cautious temperament, she will definitely not go to your young master to tell me, she will definitely tell me first, so she doesn't know that the sachet is from you. ”
Shen Jing's tone was affirmative, like a party, Guan Ling didn't dare to answer easily.
"I went to Zhuangzi a few days ago, and you want to find a sense of existence in front of your young master while I'm not there, so I made a dress and sent it over, and Xiao Xuan, who was good at needlework, found that the clothes and the sachet were from the same person, so I wanted to verify it."
Shen Jing said and took another sip of tea, pausing when she should have stopped when she spoke, hanging people's hearts like telling a story.
At this time, Liang Ju suddenly came back, and when he saw Guan Ling kneeling in the center of the hall, his brows furrowed, and his gaze at Shen Jing was complicated and difficult to distinguish for a while.
Shen Jingcai didn't bother to pay attention to Liang Ju, nor did he pay attention to the eyes that Hu's mother kept handing over, and then analyzed: "When Xiao Xuan went to confront you, you were scared, in order to cover up your hands and feet on the sachet, you killed Xiao Xuan, and then Xiao Xuan died, and you also disposed of the sachet." ”
Seeing Liang Ju coming, Guan Ling seemed to have a little confidence again, she looked at Shen Jing, and suddenly smiled, "Madame is a good story, I burned the sachet in front of the young master, if there is anything wrong, the young master will definitely find out!" ”
Shen Jing sneered in his heart, "Your cleverness is here, there is a young master as a witness, plus manslaughter is less serious than real murder, and relying on you to be half a master, my girl is just a subordinate, and she can easily escape a more severe punishment." ”
"Madame said this, but she wanted to talk about evidence." Guan Ling thought to herself that she had taken care of everything, Shen Jing couldn't find out more, everything she said was speculation, everything was nonsense without evidence, and after thinking about this, she was not so afraid.
Shen Jing suddenly smiled, "If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do." Aunt Guan, what you have done will always leave something behind, I Shen Jing will give you a message today, I will definitely find out, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes. ”
"The slave and maid are for the lady, but a maid, the lady wants to dispose of the slave and the maid, there is no need to go through such a big effort, you can deal with it directly, the slave and the maid will not resist," paused, looked at Liang Ju and then looked at Shen Jing, "Compared with you, the status of the slave and maid is a big difference, and without the appearance and wisdom of the lady, the young master will never spoil me, and the lady should not be taboo against me." ”
When Shen Jing heard this, she really admired Guan Ling's ability, obviously she Shen Jing was seeking justice for her girl, and when she said it from Guan Ling's mouth, it was Shen Jing who deliberately made it difficult for her in order to compete with her for favor, and it is estimated that men eat her pretending to be weak.
Sure enough, Liang Ju couldn't stand it anymore, and he suddenly spoke, "Shen Jing, don't be so aggressive, since the day you entered the door, has Ling'er ever come to answer you?" ”
Shen Jing, Ling'er, listening to this title, Shen Jing really suspected that the person who accompanied him in those days was not this person, and he was disappointed in his heart.
Shen Jing looked at the two of them, and suddenly said, "I, Shen Jing, will never do such a hypocritical thing for a man......"
Before Shen Jing finished speaking, Mother Hu was worried that she was saying too much, so she hurriedly interrupted her, "Miss,"
Shen Jing was interrupted like this, and she really stopped, not that she was worried that her words would be too ugly, but she felt that it was unnecessary, what she wanted to say was that Liang Ju, especially this man, was not worthy of her Shen Jing to compete for favor.
Shen Jing was quiet, thinking that she almost fell in touch with Aunt Guan's words, she deliberately wanted to say this in front of Liang Ju, which could arouse the conflict between her and Liang Ju, not to mention, she could also take this opportunity to get out smoothly.
According to Guan Ling's meaning, because Xiao Xuan is her personal girl, it is Xiao Xuan who takes the initiative to find trouble with Aunt Guan, which means that Shen Jing is not used to Guan Ling, and she Shen Jing took the initiative to provoke the dispute.
"Aunt Guan, what did you do to cover it up so painstakingly?" Shen Jing squinted at Guan Ling, "You can pray that you don't find out by me." ”
Although Guan Ling was a little panicked in her heart, she was still stubborn, "Madam, although I checked, except for the fact that Miss Xiaoxuan was mistakenly killed by me, I have a clear conscience." ”
Shen Jing hummed without emotion, "Then Aunt Guan will be grounded first!" Let's go down first! ”
Aunt Guan got up, blessed Liang Ju and Shen Jing, turned around and walked out the door, only to hear Shen Jing's voice sounding faintly behind her, "By the way, your personal girl Lin'er was taken away by me, since she is grounded, then stay alone, you are indispensable for food and clothing, but you still take care of the work yourself!" ”
Guan Ling staggered, whispered yes, and left. Guan Ling staggered and Shen Jing saw it, of course Liang Ju also saw it, Liang Juruo looked at Guan Ling's departing figure and thought about it.
