Chapter 187
At that time, Mrs. Ding had been married for less than half a year, and Chunyan, the girl in the room next to Master Ding, had a body.
Mrs. Ding's face was silent, but she secretly hated in her heart, but this Chunyan was also unconscious, thinking that she had a body, and she had been serving Master Ding since she was a child, so she was arrogant everywhere, and dared to give Mrs. Ding, the head lady, a look.
Seeing Chunyan's belly growing day by day, Master Ding also paid attention to her day by day, and many people said that Chunyan was pregnant with a male fetus.
If this child is born, what status will he have in the house in the future? In the future, his own children will be even more subservient. Mrs. Ding finally became ruthless and conspired with Liu's mother to kill Chunyan in a bowl of porridge mixed with safflower.
She originally planned to beat the child in Chunyan's womb, but she didn't expect that one was not careful, one corpse and two lives, and even the adults died together.
Later, Mrs. Ding recalled that the situation at that time was, firstly, because Chunyan was older and dangerous; Second, it was the first time she had done this, and she didn't grasp the proportions.
Since then, Mrs. Ding has made it much easier for her to do this.
If Liu's mother was arrested because of this......
Mrs. Ding was thinking about it, when she heard a report from someone who said that it was Steward Liu from the outer courtyard who asked to see her.
Steward Liu is the husband of Liu's mother, and now he is a small housekeeper in Dingfu, mostly because of Liu's mother's relationship.
"Let him in." Mrs. Ding said slowly, and then straightened up and waited.
Steward Liu followed the maid who led the way all the way to the inner courtyard, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Ding: "The old slave greets Mrs. ”
"Steward Liu, please get up." Mrs. Ding said with concern.
"Please help Madame." Steward Liu not only didn't get up, but also kowtowed heavily.
Mrs. Ding glanced at the girl next to her and asked her to help her up: "I know you are in a hurry, but I am more anxious than you, Mother Liu has been serving me since she was in our house, and she has been very useful to me for so many years, and now that something has happened, how can I not be in a hurry." ”
"Madam......" Steward Liu was really anxious: "Do you know what she has done?" ”
"That's how hard it is." Mrs. Ding pretended to be embarrassed: "The inquirers were also sent out, but there was no news." ”
After the maid beside her helped Steward Liu up, she walked back to Mrs. Ding's side, looking at her nose and nose, and did not show the slightest surprise at Mrs. Ding when she opened her eyes and said nonsense.
"Hey" Mrs. Ding sighed, and continued: "You are Liu's mother's husband, do you know any news?" With such a black eye, I just want to save it, and I don't know where to do it. ”
"This ...... This ......" Steward Liu was very embarrassed, Liu's mother followed Mrs. Ding on weekdays, and most of what she did was ordered by Mrs. Ding, how could he know: "The old slave really doesn't know." ”
After speaking, he then said: "There is no other way now, please ask Madame to save her for the sake of her many years of service to you and her dedication." ”
As she spoke, she was about to kneel down again, but Mrs. Ding hurriedly said: "This is natural, I have already given the old man a letter to see if he has any connections that can help." ”
"Thank you, ma'am."
Steward Liu thanked him again and again before leaving, Mrs. Ding restrained the look on her face and instructed the girl beside her, "Go and call Xiao Shunzi in." ”
The girl answered, and after a while, a man dressed as a small servant came in.
"Find a way to deliver a message to Liu's mother in prison," Mrs. Ding said slowly.
"Madame, please."
……
In the house, Mrs. Ding talked to Xiao Shunzi for a while, and she didn't even have a personal girl, so Xiao Shunzi came out and went straight to the county jail.
The head of one of the cells guarding the cell was a relative of Xiao Shunzi, and although he couldn't do anything else, it was okay to take him in to see the prisoner and say a few words.
Xiao Shunzi successfully met Liu's mother, the cell head avoided a distance, let the two talk, because before coming in, Xiao Shunzi didn't bring anything, not even the usual food for the prisoner, the cell head also avoided it with confidence.
Unexpectedly, on the second day of Xiao Shunzi's departure, Liu's mother hung herself on the beam of the cell with a belt.
The cell boss panicked at this moment, he felt that eighty percent of it was because he had brought Xiaoshunzi to see people privately, otherwise the prisoner would have hanged himself on the second day when no one came.
He hated Xiao Shunzi to death in his heart, and the whole person was trembling and waiting for the county magistrate's fate, but he didn't expect to do an autopsy, and the adult also asked around, and the final conclusion was that he committed suicide in fear of sin, and it didn't involve him at all.
The cell boss shouted lucky, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Xiao Shunzi got the news and went to give Mrs. Ding a reply, but the latter was silent for a while when she heard it, and then praised Xiao Shunzi for doing a good job.
From the moment she knew that Liu's mother was arrested for something, Mrs. Ding did not plan to save her again.
She sent Xiao Shunzi to tell Liu's mother that if she wanted her family to be safe, she would take the charge herself, otherwise, Liu's mother's son and newborn grandson would not be happy.
On the contrary, if Liu's mother is guilty of this crime, the Liu family will have a large family, and Mrs. will definitely make proper arrangements.
"My mother has done things for my wife all her life, so let's do this last thing well." Xiao Shunzi's last sentence made Liu's mother completely dead, and in the middle of the night, in the dead of night, she ended her life.
Mrs. Ding's momentary silence was nothing more than crocodile tears.
However, there is another thing that she cares about very much, and that is Liuli.
There were accidents in the house one after another, and Mrs. Ding felt more and more that she had a lot to do with Song Liuli.
What's more, it was able to bring the restaurant that Mrs. Ding was not optimistic about to to this point now, and it stole a lot of Ding Ji's business, so that Mrs. Ding had to pay attention to it.
Now, the method of making lipstick has not yet been obtained, and Mrs. Ding wants to get all the fresh food in Song Ji.
In the past, I underestimated her. Mrs. Ding said in her heart, now is the time to have a good meeting.
"Tomorrow, you go and invite Song Liuli to come." Mrs. Ding finally commanded.
However, Liuli is not something you want to invite, and you can please if you want.
She's taking on a new flower banquet and she's busy.
The two of them have been familiar with the basic process, and everyone has found what they want to be busy with.
For example, the eldest girl is delicate and doesn't like to talk, she is in charge of a pair of crystal utensils, and she is responsible for placing them at the banquet; Zhou Hua is a lively person, she likes to deal with the little ladies the most, and she can recognize a few words, so Liuli asked her to be responsible for understanding and recording the needs and preferences of the little ladies; The other two daughters-in-law, who are good at calculation and planning, are the ones who coordinate the entire banquet.
Liuli planned to leave this flower banquet to them, and she followed the whole process.
So when Mrs. Ding sent someone to invite her, Liuli happily refused.
Mrs. Ding, who received the reply, hated her teeth, she had never been so slacked off, this Song Liuli really took herself too seriously.
It's just that you don't forget, my good sister is still in my hands, Mrs. Ding sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Go and call Hongxiang." ”
Since Hongxiang lost her child, Mrs. Ding has treated herself very differently than before, without the original care everywhere, and without deliberate embarrassment, as if there was no such person as her in the house.
Yes, when she suddenly heard that her wife wanted to see her, Hongxiang was worried in her heart.
Entering the main hall, Hongxiang made a big salute in a proper manner: "See Madame." ”
Mrs. Ding lowered her eyes and glanced at the kneeling person below, but did not cry out: "Is your body better?" ”
"Mrs. Xie's care is now very good." Hongxiang lowered her eyes in response.
"Hmm." Mrs. Ding nodded and said lukewarmly: "Thanks to your good sister Liuli, who hired such a good doctor for you, it seems that I, the housewife, have not done a good job." ”
"Madame......" The cold sweat behind the red fragrance was dripping, trembling, and I didn't know how to answer.
But Mrs. Ding smiled first: "The body that has just been raised, don't kneel, get up." ”
Hongxiang got up as she said: "Mrs. Xie." ”
Mrs. Ding said lightly: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Liuli for a few days, why hasn't she come to see you again?" ”
"I came here a few days ago, and the glass girl has been busy recently, so I can't be free." Red incense said.
"That being the case, you should also go and see her, a few days ago, people were busy for your body, you should thank them."
"Yes, it should be."
"It's not just you, I should also thank her, in the end, you are the aunt of our Ding Mansion, Liuli is looking for medical advice for you, and she is also busy with me, the housewife." Mrs. Ding finally said the key point: "Why don't you go and invite Liuli tomorrow, I should be rewarded." ”
Hongxiang vaguely felt that Mrs. Ding's words were wrong, and hesitated: "Sister Liuli has been busy recently......
Mrs. Ding interrupted without waiting for her to finish: "I know that she is busy with the restaurant, and I heard that she has made a lot of new food, and our Ding Kee restaurant also cooks food, so we can also discuss one or two." ”
"Madame......" Hongxiang was still waiting to be said, and Mrs. Ding had already issued an eviction order: "That's it, I'm also tired today, tomorrow I will ask the housekeeper to prepare the car, you go and personally invite Liuli over." ”
On the second day, almost after breakfast, Xiaoxing got a message from the next person: "Outside said that the frame has been prepared, ask my aunt when she can leave?" ”
"And so it goes." Hongxiang drove ducks to the shelves, and came to Song Kee Restaurant.
In the restaurant, there was a small quarrel at this time.
said that the quarrel was actually a bit too much, this time the flower banquet Liuli just followed, and did not participate too much, and asked the big girl and the four of them to arrange everything by themselves.
This morning, Daya and Zhou Hua went to Li's Mansion to show the pastries to be used at the banquet and see if there was anything to be adjusted in the host's house.
Zhou Hua was originally with the eldest girl, and the display was also very successful, the host only asked for a little adjustment in the number of dim sum, and after Zhou Hua wrote it down, the two packed up their things and left.
When collecting things, Zhou Hua said that she wanted to go to the toilet, and the eldest girl nodded, and waited for her while cleaning up the dishes.
I didn't expect that the left would not return, and the right would not return, the eldest girl had been to the Li Mansion a few times, and she also knew the way to the toilet, so she had no choice but to look for someone.
Unexpectedly, she looked all the way over, but she didn't see Zhou Hua's figure at all, the eldest girl was so anxious that she was about to cry, and hurriedly walked back, but collided with Zhou Hua on another fork in the road.
The eldest girl asked her where she had gone, why it had been so long, Zhou Hua's eyes dodged, saying that she was lost.
The two of them have come to Li's Mansion several times, and the location of the latrine is easy to find, how could Zhou Hua get lost? The eldest girl didn't believe it, and after asking two more questions, Zhou Hua was annoyed.
It wasn't until she returned to Song Kee Restaurant that Liuli saw that the atmosphere between the two was wrong, and after asking, the two were about to quarrel again.
In fact, the main reason is that Zhou Hua is angry and white-faced, and the eldest girl is reluctant and doesn't dare to speak.
When Hongxiang came in, she heard Zhou Hua angrily say that the eldest girl was relying on her relatives, so she asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”
Liuli turned around and saw that it was her, and was a little surprised: "Why is Sister Hongxiang here?" ”
"I'll take a look at you." In front of so many people, it is inconvenient for Hongxiang to say more.
Liuli mediated a few words with the eldest girl and Zhou Hua, sent the people away, and welcomed Hongxiang into the private room, and at the same time did not forget to tell the men to take food.
"It's been a busy day these days, I haven't been to see my sister for a long time, I didn't expect you to come first, it just so happened that I had something I wanted to tell you." Ruri smiled.
Hongxiang wanted to open her mouth, but when she heard Liuli say this, what she wanted to say before was replaced by an inquiry.
Liuli didn't go around the bend, and said bluntly: "Sister, are you willing to leave Ding's Mansion?" ”
"Leave?" Hongxiang was stunned.
"My sister originally married into Dingfu as an aunt, and it was not all voluntary, but now that she has suffered such an experience, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible and leave this sad place." Liuli Road.
"But I'm the aunt of Ding's house." Hongxiang thought that Liuli's idea was very incredible.
"Sister, this aunt is doing a happy job?" Liuli said, "Mrs. Ding's city is quite deep, and my sister knows it." ”
Hongxiang nodded, and just as she was about to speak, Liuli said again: "Master Ding may have had some affection for his sister in the past, but now that he has been gone for more than half a year, how long has my sister lost her child, has Master Ding come back to see you?" ”
These words seemed to be on Hong Xiang's mind, her eyes, which were originally quite bright, dimmed all of a sudden, thought about it, and seemed to be unwilling to say: "Master, he's coming back soon." ”
"For the sake of such a man, is it worth it for my sister to stay in Ding Mansion all her life? If you withdraw early, there is still a long way to go. "Liuli is really bitter.
Hongxiang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Liuli, sometimes my sister really envies you for living freely and casually, but I can't, I can't do it like you...... As the saying goes, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, although I am a concubine, I was also carried into the door in a sedan chair, and since then, I was born as a member of the Ding family, and died as a ghost of the Ding family. ”
"Sister!" Liuli was in a hurry, she really didn't know how to persuade her, she couldn't say that the Ding family was about to come to a catastrophe, not only was it unclear, but it was also possible to put Zhao Mingxu in danger.
"Okay, okay," Hongxiang smiled with relief, "Let's not talk about this, in fact, I have to come today, Mrs. Ding wants to see my sister." ”
