Chapter 339: Aunt Hong's Loss of Ground (1)
"Madam, you framed the Qi family, the biggest flaw is actually even the girl in Peach, if the girl in Peachin dies unconsciously, this matter will be over.
Even if the third girl of the Gu family still wants to investigate this matter, and there are no witnesses, what can she investigate from it? ”
Shui Lu said, lifted the warm blue luochun on the stove, and poured it into the small tea cup of celadon white lotus beside Aunt Hong. personally handed it to Aunt Hong, with a cold smile on her face.
"Besides, the lord is behind the lady to protect you. Peach is just a girl, if she dies, it's a big deal to call someone to carry her out and reward her family. Even if the old lady is dissatisfied with the lady, there is no fault in this matter. ”
Before Aunt Hong could ask her about her next thoughts, Shui Lu told Aunt Hong her next thoughts.
This time, it can be regarded as a complaint of loyalty.
Aunt Hong picked up the cup of tea, didn't eat it for a long time, and kept thinking about the idea in Fang Cai's mouth.
What Shui Lu said is indeed good, knowing that she stole all the property in the mansion to frame the Qi family, she is the only one who is Taohong.
Now that the lives of her family are in her hands, for the sake of the lives of her family, she does not dare to retract her confession in front of others.
At that time, even if someone notices that something is wrong and Peach is dead, she will not be able to find out anything.
But now that Peach is imprisoned in the cellar of the back cover room, Feng Lao'an personally instructed the mother-in-law who was waiting on the stove to guard it, if you want to deal with Peach God unknowingly, it is not simple.
A few days ago, she originally wanted to dispose of the peach in Ruiyue Courtyard privately, but the night before yesterday, Feng Lao'an ordered Chunyan to come over and ask for someone, and she couldn't help it. In order not to eat the sin of Feng Lao'an, she could only order her mother-in-law to send Taohong over.
Aunt Hong pondered for a long time, and after the tea in the teacup was cold, she put down the teacup and asked a few more words to Shui Lu.
"Shui Lu, didn't I tell you to take Peach's younger brother and sister to see her in person? How's this going?"
Shui Lu originally wanted to take Taohong's younger brothers and sisters to the back room to see Taohong, but Feng Lao'an told her mother-in-law to stay outside the house, and no one was allowed to enter without her old man's order. Even though she had used the money, the woman would not let her in.
Looking at Aunt Hong, who was a little worried on her face, Shui Lu didn't dare to deceive, so she had to reply honestly.
"Madam, the slave maid was going to take Taohong's younger brothers and sisters to the back room to see her, but Old Madam Feng ordered her mother-in-law to stay outside the house, and those mothers-in-law were all brought by the old lady from Feng's house, where are you willing to let me take Taohong's younger brothers and sisters in? Please forgive your sins! ”
As soon as Shui Lu's voice fell, he knelt on the ground again, and kowtowed to Aunt Hong.
She knew that the person she was serving was not a good master, and that what she had ordered was not done, but she was to be punished. And that peach has been by her side for all those years, and she can use it to ward off her crimes, let alone her.
Shui Luxin was frightened for a long time, waiting for Aunt Hong's punishment for her, but she didn't think about it, Aunt Hong didn't blame her, but she punished her lightly.
"That's it, Peach is now in the old lady's house, and the old lady doesn't like me, how can she let you go to see Peach Brown?
You went to call people's teeth, went to find a group of young and beautiful little maids to enter the house, and after careful training, they were placed next to the old lady, so that I could know every move in the back room. Aunt Hong said, waved her hand at Shui Lu, and motioned for her to go down.
Seeing that Aunt Hong's face had returned to plainness, Shui Lu's heart was finally able to let go, and she quickly got up and left the house.
After Shui Lu left, Gu Lihua entered the house.
Seeing Aunt Hong leaning crookedly on the chaise longue behind her, Gu Lihua didn't care, but stretched out her hand, grabbed a handful of kumquat from the small plate with peeled kumquats, quickly stuffed a few into her mouth, and then stretched out her hand and grabbed Aunt Hong in front of her.
"Hongmei, what's wrong? You look unhappy, could it be that someone in this mansion has made you angry?" As Gu Lihua spoke, he picked up the handkerchief on the top of Gao Ji and wiped the sugar on his hands.
"Rokuro, there are a lot of people in this house who can make me angry. If I continue to be angry like this every day, will I not die of anger one day?
A few days ago, after the old lady took Taohong's maid away from me, I thought about the livelihood of Taohong's family, and all pointed to her monthly silver. Now that she is imprisoned in the back room, isn't her family going to starve to death, and she asks Liulang to be gracious and let the steward go down to help the old and young of Taohong's family. ”
Gu Lihua originally thought that Aunt Hong wanted to complain to him, but she didn't think that it was to make him call the steward and help the family of the maid who made a mistake.
He also knew that if it weren't for Aunt Hong's instructions, even if she borrowed the courage of Taohong's little girl, she wouldn't dare to commit theft in the house.
But Taohong's little maid confessed in front of everyone and Master Chen, who came over in front of the yamen, that she had stolen the property in the house and framed the Qi family, and he was too bad to say that Aunt Hong was not.
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Lihua still said: "Hongmei, you used the matter of stealing the property in the mansion to frame the Qi family, right?" Now you want me to call the steward to go down to help her family, what are you doing this for?"
Aunt Hong didn't expect that Gu Lihua would still come to investigate this matter with her. It's just a little maid who serves people, and if it's gone, it's gone, and there's something to cherish.
Besides, if there is no help from his own, Peach and the old and young of Peach will not know where they are now?
It's just that she is used to atone for her own sin, so what's not to do?
Aunt Hong thought so in her heart, but in front of Gu Lihua, she couldn't behave so unkindly, she still said: "Liulang, although Taohong's maid is serving by my side, how do I know that she can do such a thing?"
A few days ago, she just told me about the situation at home, I wanted people to add a little bit of her monthly routine, but I didn't think that she would steal so many objects in the house, and she was ready to frame Xiao Qi! ”
Afraid that Gu Lihua wouldn't believe what she said, Aunt Hong stretched out her hand, grabbed Gu Lihua's hand, and said, "Liulang, you can't just believe what those people say, you should listen to Hongmei!" Hongmei is wronged, wronged! ”
Aunt Hong stopped talking and cried for a while. The joy that disturbed Gu Lihua's heart before disappeared at this moment.
She framed the Qi family, he had already asked the girl in private, and now she said that she was framed by someone, so who was framed by the Qi family and her?
It's not that he doesn't want to believe Aunt Hong in front of him, it's just that Aunt Hong has done all kinds of things in recent days really puzzled him.
Gu Lihua broke free of Aunt Hong's hands that were holding him tightly, and said.
"Hongmei, sometimes people are doing it, the sky is watching, don't do things too much. It's not that I don't want to believe you, it's just that the person in front of me is no longer the same person I used to be. ”
……
On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, Feng Cheng personally came down to pick up Qi and Hu'er back to Feng's house.
A few days ago, the old lady of the Feng family died of illness, and the second and third rooms of the Feng family made a lot of trouble because of the dispute over the land property left by the old lady back then, and Feng Cheng was the eldest son of the second room.
It took a while to solve this matter smoothly, a few days ago, the Qi family was framed and stolen from the property in the second room of the Gu family and reported back to the Feng family, Feng Cheng wanted to come over in person to pick up his daughter-in-law back, but was stopped by the You family again and again.
Finally got rid of You Shi's block, Feng Cheng personally drove over and took Qi Shi back.
On the night of the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Punpu had the first snow since the beginning of winter, and it had rained from the third watch in the night to the morning, and the snow outside still did not stop, and it was still sprinkled on the ground.
A thin layer of ice had formed on the stone pavement of the house. Feng Lao'an was worried that he would slip and fall down while walking with the maid outside the corridor, so he ordered the little maid to sprinkle some salt on the road, so that the ice on the road melted a lot.
Rear cover room, warm pavilion. Feng Lao'an was sitting on the soft couch in the room, and Lin was sitting next to Feng Lao'an, both of them holding a small red clay gilt hand stove in their arms, and they were talking with a smile.
Qi and Feng Cheng were sitting together, and Feng Cheng was holding a rattle, coaxing the smiling tiger in his arms.
Gu Yutang sat at the bottom of the Lin family with a tired face, and a burning charcoal basin was placed in front of him, looking at Feng Cheng and the Qi family in the room talking and laughing, but Gu Yutang couldn't be happy, and his face was still indifferent.
Ah Hua, who was waiting on the side, saw Gu Yutang's listless appearance, and refused to get into the topic of Feng Cheng and Qi's family, and had fun with Feng Cheng Qi's family, hurriedly handed a kumquat to Gu Yutang's hand, and asked softly.
"Girl, if you really don't want to stay here, why don't we go and talk to the old lady and let the girl leave first."
Gu Yutang took the kumquat handed over by Ah Hua, and when he heard her say this, he immediately replied: "Ah Hua, now that Grandmother and Grandmother Feng are talking energetically, how can they disturb the two of them because of me?" I'll wait a minute! Wait for my grandmother and Grandmother Feng to finish talking, and then I will go out. ”
Feng Laoanren, who was sitting on the soft couch, saw Gu Yutang sitting on the soft couch and didn't speak for a long time, thinking that she was pretending to have something on her mind, so he asked.
"Sister Tang, why didn't you speak from the moment you entered the house? Don't you have things in your heart, you're unhappy, and you don't want to speak?"
