Text Chapter 82: Shocking News 1

Wei Man looked at Mrs. Tai in a daze, and thought, is Mrs. Tai trying to find out why "she" hurriedly returned to Beijing?

She also wanted to know what happened at that time, but she really didn't know, and she couldn't remember the past that didn't belong to her!

"Look at the look on your face, you probably haven't remembered that memory yet, and you've never heard the person next to you mention it, oh, yes......" Mrs. Tai paused, and then, she bowed slightly, as if she had figured out something puzzled, and said with some abruptness on her face: "Mother Cheng next to you will definitely not say much in this matter, what about the four big girls you once relied on, two of them fell into the carriage with you and lost their lives on the spot, and the other two, when you were still unconscious, was sent to the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, by the way, and with it, there were six second-class maids who returned to the garden at that time...... In this way, there is no one around you who can tell you what happened at that time......"

The slightly cool tone was eloquent, and when he heard such words, Wei Man's heart gradually became stunned.

She had heard that in the past, there were four big maids in the garden of Manhui, and on the night of the 22nd, the two who fell out of the carriage with "her" and died on the spot, one was called Heluo, and the other was called Xingtan, and she had also heard that the other two were called Shiso and Xixin, because her life was hanging by a thread, and she was betrayed by Mrs. Tai for not serving her master well......

However, in Mrs. Tai's words just now, she said that Zisu and Xixin were sent to Zhuangzi, along with six second-class maids......

"Grandmother, why," Wei Man said a little confused, "why did my granddaughter hear that the shiso and the fine spice were sold......

"Yes, what you heard is that they were all sold by me," Mrs. Tai took a sip of tea and said lightly: "But, in fact, they were all sent by me to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing." ”

The external rhetoric was that it was sold, but in fact, it was sent to Zhuangzi......

Why?

It's been so long, but she has never heard about those eight maids, so where are Zisu and Xixin, and those six second-class maids?

Thinking of the humility of the lives of slaves and maids in ancient times, Wei Man's face couldn't help but turn pale.

"Grandmother, grandmother," asked Wei Man, worriedly, "where are they now?" ”

Mrs. Tai gently rubbed the tea cup in her hand.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"They......" Mrs. Tai raised her head, looked at Wei Man with a distant gaze, and said lightly: "Those six second-class maids are said to have been sold to remote and bitter cold places, but as for your two big maids, they are long gone......

Gone? It's dead!

Wei Man's heart twitched, a pain, and a cold.

"Why......" Wei Man couldn't help but raise his voice and asked, "Grandmother, everything is the granddaughter's fault, they, they don't deserve death......"

Although the four big girls were all complete strangers to Wei Man, when he heard that they had lost their lives because of himself, Wei Man's heart couldn't contain the grief.

Listening to Wei Man's question, Mrs. Tai raised her eyes and stared at Wei Man with a cold and deep gaze.

Wei Man's heart trembled.

The lady in front of her was a coldness that Wei Man had never seen before.

Warn! This is a warning!

In an instant, Wei Man suddenly understood that Mrs. Tai was warning her nakedly!

What she did, because of her identity, Mrs. Tai may not do anything to her, but Mrs. Tai will be angry with the maids who follow her, figuratively saying that the two people who accompanied her to the Hall of Good Heart today are Swift and Xia Lan, for Mrs. Tai, whether they are sold or killed with a cane is a matter of one sentence.

"Grandmother, don't be angry, everything is the granddaughter's fault," Wei Man knelt down directly and begged in a mournful voice: "It's the granddaughter who is curious for a while, and I can't help but want to go and see it after hearing Aunt Zhang say a few words about Aunt Luo...... The granddaughter shouldn't go, everything is the granddaughter's fault......"

In Wei Man's heart, in fact, he had already prepared countless reasons to go to the Hall of Good Hearts, but in the face of Mrs. Tai's clear threat, they were completely useless, and they could only kneel in front of Mrs. Tai to sincerely repent.

At this moment, Wei Man also understood Mrs. Tai's thoughts, and Mrs. Tai deliberately made it clear to the whole house that she was very disgusted with Aunt Luo, so that everyone in the house was alienated from Aunt Luo, but Wei Man openly went to visit the Good Heart Hall...... In Mrs. Tai's heart, even if Wei Man has a thousand reasons, it touches her bottom line, it is a challenge to her authority, and it is something she cannot tolerate.

"Three girls, you have been smart and clever since you were a child," Mrs. Tai put down the teacup, stretched out her hand, and gently lifted Wei Man's chin, her eyes were unpredictable, and she said with a smile: "The people in the house say that among your sisters, the four girls are the most beautiful, but I don't think so......"

Wei Man was stared at by Mrs. Tai's unpredictable gaze, and her body couldn't help shaking.

"Look at your face, your eyebrows, your eyes, tsk......" Mrs. Tai shook her head slightly, and sighed repeatedly: "It's really a seductive appearance!" ”

Wei Man's gaze flickered.

Hook people!?

This word shouldn't be used to describe her, right? What's more, this word still comes from the mouth of Mrs. Yu.

"Grandmother, why?" Wei Man's eyes widened, his heart was frightened and angry, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Why did grandmother say this about her granddaughter?" Granddaughter doesn't understand ......"

"Three girls, you look very good on the outside, and you rarely make mistakes in your daily behavior," Mrs. Tai said lightly: "However, grandmother watched you grow up, and your grandmother can estimate how much you have in guts...... The rights and wrongs you messed with outside didn't come to the fore, but you don't have to be complacent and think that with a little cleverness, your grandmother is a ...... who doesn't know anything."

After saying these words, Mrs. Tai gently shook off Wei Man's face, she wiped her hands with an embroidered handkerchief, and said to Wei Man, who was stunned: "You don't have to put on that aggrieved and confused look, grandmother watched you grow up, what is your nature, grandmother knows clearly......

"Grandmother, granddaughter really doesn't understand what grandmother is talking about," large tears left from Wei Man's eyes, and she said sadly, "Why does grandmother say so much about granddaughter?" What did the granddaughter do wrong...... The hateful granddaughter doesn't remember anything about the past at all, and doesn't know what went wrong...... Please make it clear to your grandmother that her granddaughter will change her ......"

Wei Man cried and pleaded, but her heart was shocked, she couldn't help but guess that perhaps, the previous Wei Man probably did something that damaged her reputation, but because the previous Wei Man covered it up well, it was not known to everyone, but Mrs. Tai, as the highest-ranking person in the Zhenguo Hou Mansion, may have known Wei Man's privacy......

However, Wei Man is now absolutely unable to admit Mrs. Tai's questioning, don't say that those things that don't know the truth and falsehood were not done by her, and she doesn't know at all, even if she knows that Wei Man really did things that damage her reputation in the past, in order to survive in this dynasty, she will never admit it......

"You fell from the carriage on the twenty-second day," said Mrs. Tai suddenly, "but do you know when Grandmother knew that you fell from the carriage and fell unconscious?" ”

Wei Man looked at Mrs. Tai in surprise.

Shouldn't it be on that day? Or, because there is a curfew, is it the second day after the carriage falls?

However, in this case, it is normal, and since Mrs. Tai has this question, it shows that there is something abnormal in this.

"My granddaughter was unconscious," Weiman shook her head and said, "Please also ask grandmother to make ...... explicit"

"It's March 26th," Mrs. Tai looked into Wei Man's eyes and said coldly, "You fell into the carriage on the 22nd and fell unconscious, but it was not until near noon on the 26th that the house received the letter."

What happened on the 22nd, she was the eldest lady of the Zhenguo Houfu, unconscious, and her life hung by a thread, why did she wait until the 26th to know what happened to the Zhenguo Houfu.

Why? Is there anything hidden in this?

No, there must be something hidden in this!

"Why, why is it so late?" Wei Man also looked at Mrs. Tai, a little uneasy, but asked earnestly: "Grandmother, granddaughter really doesn't remember what happened at that time...... However, when the granddaughter saw that her grandmother hated her granddaughter so much now, the granddaughter thought that there must be a reason for her grandmother to do this, and this must be something wrong for her grandmother to make her grandmother evaluate her granddaughter like this...... Please tell your grandmother what happened to her granddaughter, and she will sincerely change her life and never let her grandmother down again......"

"The reason why you didn't return home four days late," Mrs. Tai said lightly, "That's because on the night of the 22nd, martial law began in the whole city, and it lasted until the morning of the 26th. ”

Martial law?

Is something big going on?

"Yes......" Wei Man frowned slightly, thinking to herself, what could a serious matter that require martial law in the whole city have anything to do with her, a weak woman in the boudoir, could it have something to do with her insistence on returning to Beijing, so she asked with some uneasiness: "Is something going on?" ”

"On the night of the 22nd, the first emperor was critically ill, and at that time, the current emperor, who was still the prince, went out of Beijing in Weifu and secretly dispatched the Changyu army stationed outside Beijing to surround the capital," Mrs. Tai looked at Wei Man and said softly: "Puning Temple happens to be a necessary place for the emperor today......"

This......

Wei Man remembered, it is said that the first emperor died on the 23rd, then, the days she traveled through coincided with the alternation of the old and the new in the Dajing Dynasty, and the political situation was the most unstable......

However, these are just the coincidences of time, Wei Man can't understand, why did Mrs. Tai suddenly mention the current emperor, and what does it have to do with her?
