Text Chapter 197: Multiple Listening
Xia Qing nodded and whispered, "I said that I must see Miss today." ”
"Humph!" Ta Ge said with an unhappy face: "It's really annoying! How can our young lady have the time to meet him! ”
"That's it!" Luo Ying also echoed with an unkind face: "I really didn't expect him to be so blind!" Why didn't we find out before......"
"Miss, what now?" Xia Lan pondered and said to Wei Man: "He is guarding the door like this, and it is not a way for us to always hide, otherwise, the slave maid will come forward and drive him away...... The slave and maid didn't believe it, he could have that face and the slave and maid at the door......"
The son of everyone who Xia Lan doesn't want to see is Cheng Yunqing, who Wei Man doesn't want to see at the moment.
Wei Man originally planned to go out to the Sogo Temple after asking for peace from Xi Yuan early this morning, but just when she was ready to go out, someone from the concierge told her that Cheng Yunqing was asking to see Wei Man at the door.
Although Cheng Yunqing's raising of the outer room gave Wei Man a big blow, but, thinking about the current dynasty and social atmosphere, Wei Man knew that Cheng Yunqing had not made much of a mistake, and even, after giving up marrying Cheng Yunqing, Wei Man had gradually begun to understand what Cheng Yunqing had done...... It's just that she has just experienced a "love affair", and there are a few complaints in her heart, and she hasn't figured out how to face Cheng Yunqing......
Therefore, Wei Man really didn't want to see Cheng Yunqing today, who knows, after Xia Qing went to spread the word that Wei Man was not feeling well today and it was inconvenient to meet guests, Cheng Yunqing not only did not leave, but stayed at the door and did not leave, and begged Xia Qing to pass the word, saying that he must see Wei Man today, and he would not leave if he did not see Wei Man...... In this way, Weiman was blocked in the house, and it slowly took an hour.
"The slave maid and Xia Lan will go together," Ta Ge assured Wei Man: "Miss rest assured, the slave maid will let Young Master Cheng Biao leave as soon as possible, and it will never delay the ...... of Miss going out."
"Forget it." Wei Man sighed lightly, put down the teacup and got up, and said as he walked in the direction of the inner room: "Help me change into my homely clothes, let's go to Lingyuan Pavilion to see the second young master first." ”
……
Bunshuin, at the door.
Mother Feng was smiling and waving to Mother Liu, who was turning back three times in one step, and said, "Mother Liu, I won't send you away, come often when you have time!" ”
After Liu's mother's back finally disappeared, the smile on Feng's mother's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a disdainful sneer.
Here, Mother Liu, who was walking on the way back, always felt uneasy, although she learned from Mother Feng that the Fourth Young Master was doing well now, but it was probably because she still couldn't meet the relationship with the Fourth Young Master in the end, so she was always a little worried in her heart...... After leaving Wenxiu Yuan and Feng's mother, her mind gradually cleared up a lot, and the gossip she heard by chance came to her heart...... In this way, the heart that had just calmed down gradually became irritable and difficult to settle.
Mother Liu suddenly paused, she thought for a moment with her eyebrows on her eyebrows, and as soon as her footsteps turned, she went to the courtyard where Aunt Zhang's grandmother lived.
Because she had been in Feng's mother's house for a long time, when Liu's mother rushed to Shuiyuyuan, Aunt Zhang, who got up late, not only had breakfast, but she was also about to go to the small garden in the second room for a walk, but after hearing the maid's report at the door that Liu's mother was rushing here, Aunt Zhang thought for a while, turned around and went back to the house to lie down.
As soon as Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang lay down, the maid Gu Xue led Liu's mother into the inner room.
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Aunt Zhang coughed lightly, sat up very laboriously, and said with a weak smile: "Why is Mother Liu here, you are a busy person who is indispensable by Mrs. Tai's side, sit down quickly, ......"
Liu's mother didn't answer, she stiffened her face and sat down on the stool that Gu Xue brought to the side of the bed.
Regarding Liu's mother's attitude, Aunt Zhang's grandmother did not show the slightest annoyance on her face.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Aunt Zhang covered her mouth and coughed a few more times, and then she looked at Mother Liu and said apologetically: "I haven't had time to thank Mother Liu yet, this time in the Xi Garden, thanks to Mother Liu's care......"
"Humph!" Mother Liu suddenly interrupted Aunt Zhang's words with a cold snort, she glanced at Aunt Zhang's tightly wrapped left hand, and said meaningfully: "Aunt Zhang's words are serious, what I have done is just a little thing, where can I compare to Mother Tao's dedication to my aunt and grandmother......"
Aunt Zhang's left hand wrapped by Grandma Zhang couldn't help but shrink a little, her mind turned, and she hurriedly used her right hand to hold Mother Liu's hand, let out a long sigh, and said sincerely; "Look at what you said, after so many years, I still don't understand how you treat me...... I know, in your heart, you are complaining about me, blaming me for not being able to protect Aunt Liu...... Others don't know, Mother Liu, you should understand, I treat Aunt Liu as my own daughter, and I swear that I haven't treated her half a point in the years since she entered the second room......"
Hearing Aunt Zhang's grandmother say this, Mother Liu pursed her lips uncomfortably, in fact, in Liu's mother's heart, Aunt Liu's daughter is no different from nothing, so her daughter can enter the second room as an aunt, and also gave birth to the fourth young master Wei Yu, Mother Liu thinks that these are all thanks to Aunt Zhang's care.
Aunt Zhang's grandmother looked at Liu's mother's face, changed her tone, and said, "Although Aunt Liu has done some things inappropriately, I should have saved her life by thinking that she is the biological mother of the fourth young master...... Ay! They all complained that I had been trapped in the Xi Garden a few days ago, and before I could do anything, Aunt Liu actually committed suicide......"
Aunt Zhang's grandmother sighed both long and short, but Liu's mother was so frightened that she couldn't listen to anything else after hearing the sentence "Aunt Liu is not doing some things properly".
Under the arrangement of the second lady Cao, Liu's mother already knew and believed that Aunt Liu had an improper relationship with other men...... This is also the main reason why she remained silent about Aunt Liu's suicide...... Right now, she suddenly heard Aunt Zhang say this, and she couldn't help but wonder if Aunt Zhang knew about Aunt Liu's dirty things...... Mother Liu, who was able to look at Xingshi's questioning, became more and more uncomfortable on her face.
"When I think of poor Aunt Liu...... Aunt Zhang patted Mother Liu's hand comfortingly, and said, "My heart is very sad, and I feel sorry for Mother Liu, you......"
"This, it has nothing to do with you." Mother Liu laughed and muttered, "You weren't in the second room at the time......
Aunt Zhang is such a shrewd person, looking at Mother Liu's face, she also understood the mentality of Mother Liu in her heart, and after blaming herself, she said again: "But ah, Aunt Liu's child can be regarded as seeking kindness, she is going, not only got rid of the fourth young master, but also let the second lady treat the fourth young master as her own...... I thought that if I couldn't protect Aunt Liu, then I would take the fourth young master to the Shuiyu Courtyard to take care of it, but when I mentioned it, the second lady didn't agree, and she was afraid that I would rob someone, so she moved the fourth young master to the main courtyard early...... You can rest assured, in my place, there will be no difference between the fourth young master and the eldest young master in the future, and I guarantee that the fourth young master has what the eldest young master has...... Yesterday, the second master also mentioned the fourth young master's studies to me, saying that he was already looking for a good gentleman for the fourth young master......"
After about half an hour, Liu's mother, who was coaxed by Aunt Zhang's grandmother and was full of red face, came out of the door of the Water Jade Courtyard.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, Liu's mother met Xiao Tao who was about to enter the door.
"Oh, Mother Liu's morning." Xiao Tao smiled and saluted Liu's mother.
"You're Peach." Mother Liu's eyes flashed, and she asked kindly: "Aunt Zhang, Grandma Zhang, sent you to do something early this morning, look at the fine sweat on your forehead...... Where did you come from? ”
"Mother Lao Liu remembers my name." Xiao Tao also greeted Liu's mother affectionately: "I just came back from home, and I took a leave with my aunt and grandmother in the morning and went home......"
The two stood at the door of the Water Jade Courtyard and chatted a few words.
"Gu Xue," Mother Liu looked at Gu Xue who sent her out on the side, and said, "This is all delivered to the door, you can go in first, I still have some private matters I want to ask Xiao Tao." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Tao's eyes couldn't help blinking.
Although Gu Xue also had doubts in her heart, she still responded honestly and retreated.
"This ...... I don't know what Mother Liu wants to ask me? Xiao Tao pretended to be confident and said: "If my mother wants to ask anything, just open my mouth, as long as my little peach knows, I will not hide it!" ”
"I know you're a good girl, Peach!" Mother Liu affectionately took Xiao Tao's hand, and after praising two words, she leaned close to Xiao Tao's ear and asked softly: "I heard that you were also there when the fourth young master fell into the water a few days ago, yes or no?" ”
Xiao Tao's heart trembled, she really didn't expect that Liu's mother opened her mouth to ask this, at the moment, facing Liu's mother's inquiring gaze, Xiao Tao's face couldn't help but freeze, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
"Little Peach Girl...... Mother Liu squinted her eyes and looked at Little Peach, and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Ah, no, not much......" Xiao Tao responded in a little panic, her eyes only turned around, and she turned her frown and asked, "Mom, who did you hear this from, how can this person talk nonsense...... It was good that I was in that garden when the fourth young master had an accident, but I was far away from the place where the fourth young master fell into the water, and I also rushed over after listening to everyone's noise......"
"Oh? Is that so? Mother Liu said suspiciously: "However, the girl from Caozhu said that you and the third lady arrived together!" ”
Caozhu is the little maid of Xi Garden, because she was picking flowers nearby when the fourth young master Wei Yu had an accident, so she was one of the first few people to arrive at the scene.
Speaking of grass beads, Xiao Tao's mind couldn't help but think of the one who threw the flower basket and jumped to his feet and shouted, "Falling into the water...... The fourth young master fell into the water...... The eleven or twelve-year-old girl who fell into the water ...... the third lady, for a while, her heart was panicked and confused.
