Chapter 178
On the day of Hongxiang's accident, Liuli forced Mrs. Ding to call Lai's mother out for questioning, and Mrs. Ding, who went to find someone, said that Lai's mother was too sick to get out of bed.
Lai's mother was finally tired of scolding, she snorted fiercely and was about to go back and hurry up to pick some flowers and branches, so that her daughter-in-law could take them to the market to sell, but when she turned around, she saw several people in the pavilion in the distance.
Lai's mother's eyes were not bad, she recognized Hongxiang at a glance, and the anger she had just been arched by the girl who folded the flowers suddenly found a place to vent.
"Why does Aunt Xiang still have the face to go out?" Lai's mother spoke mercilessly.
Just now, the girl climbed up to the chief steward of the outer courtyard, even if she didn't dare to offend too much, but now Hongxiang is just an aunt who has lost her child, Master Ding is not there, Lai's mother knows Mrs. Ding's attitude towards her better, so she has no scruples: "You can't even keep the master's child, so useless, you should repent in the house every day, why do you still have the heart to come out to enjoy the flowers?" ”
The so-called Diao slave is really half dead that can give people popularity as soon as he says it, Xiao Xing's face is flushed, but he doesn't dare to reply, but he barely speaks: "How can my mother say that?" My aunt lost her child, and she was already sad......"
"If you are sad, you won't come out to enjoy the spring flowers" Lai's mother snorted coldly, "It's obvious that I am useless, and I have to bite others everywhere, I don't know what the reason is?!" ”
Liuli finally couldn't listen anymore and spoke: "I heard that Lai's mother is suffering from a stubborn illness and can't even get out of bed, why is it so fast?" ”
Liuli's tone was unceremonious, not at all like a little girl in the house who spoke respectfully to her.
Lai's mother hadn't seen Liuli, thinking that she was also a girl who served Hongxiang like an apricot, and said unceremoniously: "Where did you come from, the wild girl, she doesn't understand the rules like this!" ”
"If you don't understand the rules, who can rely on your mother, she is obviously a slave, but she steps on the master everywhere, Aunt Xiang is a serious aunt in this Ding Mansion, how can you be a slave like this!"
"Good you dead girl, you dare to talk to me like this, you wait, see that I don't tear your mouth apart." Lai's mother said, she rolled up her arms and sleeves, and wanted to climb directly to the pavilion to find a glass dry frame.
Seeing this, Xiao Xing hurriedly said: "Mom, don't do it, this is Song Xiaoniang, not a little girl like me." ”
"Little lady Song?" Lai's mother was stunned for a moment.
"Hmm." Xiao Xing nodded, "It's our lady's guest, and my mother must not be rude." ”
"Really? Little hooves, don't frame me......" Lai's mother was skeptical.
"If my mother doesn't believe me, you can ask Liu's mother." Xiao Xing said sincerely, but there was some imperceptible pride in her rare tone.
Lai's mother was hesitating, and a little girl hurriedly ran over and whispered to Lai's mother: "Mom can let me find it easy, I am urging outside, ask you if the flowers and trees have been cut?" ”
Lai's mother then remembered that her daughter-in-law was still waiting outside.
"What's the hurry? That's almost there. She said this, but did not go any further to the pavilion, and walked away quickly with the little girl who had found her, thinking that she was going to pick flowers and trees.
Xiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief with palpitations, and persuaded Hongxiang, who had not spoken: "Auntie, don't go to your heart, Mother Lai has always been like this." ”
Hongxiang's nails were about to be pinched into the flesh, she endured the anger in her heart, and sighed deeply: "Let's go." ”
However, two days after this episode happened, Lai's mother suddenly fell ill, this time she was really sick, so sick that she couldn't get out of bed.
The reason is also a big surprise, Lai's mother's son, the brother of the little young master of Ding Mansion, who somehow turned out what he committed two years ago, was directly sentenced by Su County.
The crime committed is not a side crime, it is a felony murder.
Lai's mother is such a son, she has been spoiled like a baby pimple since he was a child, she has a face in Dingfu, and her son is even more regarded as the brother of the little master of Dingfu, and he is not less domineering outside.
Every time he gets into trouble, he can rely on Lai's mother's relationship to successfully get out, and he is getting bolder and bolder.
Two years ago, he fell in love with a woman, but this woman was already a married man, he wanted the overlord to take the bow and quietly snatch it to play.
Unexpectedly, this woman was also uneasy in the room, she had long been disgusted with her husband, so she wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of it.
The woman coaxed Lai's mother's son around, and there were some tricks between the beds, coaxing the man to revolve around her, and promised to kill the woman's husband with her to help the woman get out of the sea of suffering.
Lai's mother's son was still a little afraid and hesitant, but the woman said that her husband had fled from other places, and he had no relatives here, so he died, and she reported that she was sick and died, and no one would track it down.
So, the two conspired to poison the woman's husband to death, and nothing happened afterwards.
Lai's mother's son was just a temporary freshness, and it didn't take long to leave the woman behind, Lai's mother knew about it, or because the woman was unwilling to be abandoned, she came to Lai's mother, saying that she wanted to poke the matter out, and the two died together.
Lai's mother gave the woman a lot of money and sent it away, so that she covered up the matter.
Not wanting to be without warning, the woman actually went to the county government office the day before yesterday to turn herself in, confessed to the killing of her husband two years ago, and recruited an accomplice - Lai's mother's son.
When Lai's mother heard about this, the government had already arrested his son, and before she could come up with a way to save people, she was sentenced to be executed, and her son's head had already fallen to the ground.
Lai's mother was unbearable and couldn't afford to get sick, but it was really as Liu's mother said that day, she had a high fever and was in a coma, and she couldn't get out of bed again. The doctor came several times, but there was no improvement.
After Mrs. Ding learned what had happened, she moved her to Zhuangzi to recuperate on the grounds that her mother was unwell and was afraid that she would be sick and give the little master too much. It is said to be a retreat, but in fact, it is just waiting for people to fend for themselves.
After Lai's mother's affair came out, Liuli came to Dingfu again and found that the eyes of the people looked at her differently. In the past, when she came to Dingfu, the people under her had some opinions about her, and she had heard a lot of cynicism, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
Today is different, she can clearly feel that the people are avoiding her, and there is awe in their eyes when they look at her.
Walking all the way to Hongxiang, a woman dressed as a maid suddenly sprang out of the oblique thorn, blocking Liuli's way.
"What's the matter with you?" Liuli just asked, but the maid knelt down with a plop, "The slave maid used to have eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, please don't worry about the slave maid, here is the jewelry I have saved over the years, and please let the little lady Song smile." ”
The maid said, took out a cloth bag wrapped in a brocade cloth from her bosom, and when she opened it, it was full of some women's hairpin ring jade jewelry and the like.
Liuli's face was puzzled: "What are you doing with me?" ”
"Slave maid...... The slave maid was ignorant in the past, offended the little lady, and asked the little lady Song to accept these apologies. The maid said tremblingly.
Liuli stared at her for several seconds, and finally remembered that this person was originally the maid next to the second aunt, and once when she was walking on the road, she was splashed with water by this maid and wet her skirt.
"You were the one who splashed water last time?"
When the maid heard her ask, she trembled even more, and there was a crying voice in her voice: "Song Little Lady Mingjian, I was ordered by the second aunt, I really can't help it, and please don't blame Song Little Lady." ”
"If so, if Song Xiaoniang feels that these things are not enough to make amends, then ...... I'll let you splash water too, and I can put my skirt on it without getting it wet! ”
"Okay, okay," Liuli was full of black lines, "I won't splash you with water, and I don't want these things, you can take them back." ”
When the maid heard this, her face turned pale, as if she was about to face a catastrophe: "Song, little lady Song ......"
"I'm not going to do anything to you." Liuli was impatient to entangle with her more, and after finally leaving a sentence, she bypassed her directly, and went to Hongxiang's yard with a head full of question marks.
But seeing that Xiaoxing was different from the past, she was not as afraid of her as others, but her eyes were full of reverence: "How did Erniang do it?" Originally, you said that you would avenge our aunt, and I thought it was comforting her, but I didn't expect it to happen. ”
"What did I do?" Liuli looked confused, "Why don't I know?" ”
"Second Aunt and Mother Lai, didn't you do their bad luck?" Xiao Xingdao.
"No, why do you say that?" Ruri wanted to do it, but she didn't make a move yet.
"The people in the house said that the second aunt and Lai's mother ended up like this because they offended you, the little lady." Xiao Xingdao.
They had an argument with Liuli, and then one put Yinzi money in prison, and the other fell ill because of his son's accident, and was finally kicked out.
"I'm secretly checking on them, but there's not much progress yet." Ruri had to say sincerely, "So I didn't do any of this." ”
"Really, not?" Obviously, Hongxiang also felt that Liuli was making a move to avenge herself.
"Really." Liuli nodded, but she already had a guess in her heart, so she comforted Hongxiang who was wrinkling her eyebrows and thinking: "Sister doesn't have to be worried, it doesn't matter if someone is plotting behind her back, the two of them are doing their own evil, in short, it can be regarded as a bad breath for my sister." ”
Hongxiang nodded: "If there is really someone plotting behind it, this person can be regarded as my Hongxiang's benefactor." ”
"Yes", Xiao Xing couldn't hide her excitement, "After the second aunt and Lai's mother had accidents one after another, even the people in the house were much more respectful to our aunt. ”
Coming back from Ding's mansion, Liuli went to Zhao's house on the second day, these days, in addition to visiting Hongxiang, she also has to help Zhou Xiaoshu manage the house, because the number of times Zhao's house has decreased a lot, and she hasn't seen Zhao Mingxu for more than ten days.
"Erniang is not busy today, why is she free?" When Ace saw Liuli, he smiled and teased.
Liuli directly handed over the large food box in his hand: "Here, the top layer is yours, and the bottom layer is yours, please help me send it to Doctor Luo." ”
Dr. Luo helped to heal Hongxiang, and Liuli always wanted to find an opportunity to thank him, so she carefully made some pastries to eat, and the old man was also very restrained.
Ah Ce took it, opened the upper layer, on which were his favorite fruit dan peel and sugar gourd, and immediately grinned: "Childe is in the study, Erniang go." ”
Liuli was still carrying a small food box in his hand, and Ace knew that it must have been prepared for Zhao Mingxu without asking.
Liuli responded with a smile and went directly to the study to find someone.
Zhao Mingxu heard the conversation between the two outside, and when Liuli came in, he was not surprised, but asked casually: "What good food did you bring to Ace and Doctor Luo?" ”
Liuli Yang raised the snack box in his hand and smiled: "The cake I made for you is still hot." After that, he put the food box on the table, opened it, and the full aroma escaped: "Here, eat it while it's hot." ”
The man said "um", and finally smiled, but he kept writing in his hands, still brushing and brushing, Liuli knew that he was copying Buddhist scriptures for his brother, and when he saw that someone agreed but didn't reach out to pick it up, he couldn't help but get closer again.
Who knew that as soon as the man turned his head, he took a big bite of Liuli's hand, and his warm lips stroked from Liuli's fingertips, causing the latter to tremble.
However, the man ate calmly, and Liuli's hand was not raised, nor was he withdrawn, so he was so stunned until Zhao Mingxu finished eating the whole cake.
The man licked the corners of his lips and said quietly, "It's delicious." ”
Ruri blushed to the neck.
Zhao Mingxu finally put down his pen, and when he saw the little girl with a shy face, she said half sighing, half jokingly: "Always so shy, it's really time to do the right thing, how can it be good?" ”
"What, what's the matter?"
"What do you say?"
Liuli reacted after asking, and wanted to change the topic, but was preempted by the man: "Naturally, it's a candle night in the cave room." ”
Liuli once again went from the tips of her hair to the toenails, and forcibly changed the subject: "That, I'm here to ask you something." ”
"What?" Zhao Mingxu was for a long time, looking at her with burning eyes.
"It's the second aunt of Dingfu, and it's ...... mother" Liuli couldn't stand the man's scorching gaze staring at her, and boldly stretched out her hand to push the man's head away, and then exhaled lightly: "Something happened to them, did you do it behind your back?" ”
"yes." Zhao Mingxu nodded very calmly, "Whoever told them to insult you will have to pay the price." ”
A warmth flowed slowly in Liuli's heart.
"Not only them, but I won't let the other two go."
Liuli knew that he was talking about Mrs. Ding and the second aunt, and just as she was about to speak, she heard the man's voice sound faintly again: "Don't you thank me?" ”
Liuli was moved in her heart, and said from kindness: "Well, thank you." ”
"Not enough."
"Huh?" Liuli was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he raised his head, he met the man's face that was approaching, and then there was a warm touch on his lips, which was not unfamiliar, the man's lips.
After being stunned, Ruri closed her eyes and obediently responded to the man's kiss.
After a kiss, Zhao Mingxu raised his head with satisfaction: "This is like words." ”
