At dinner in the evening, Mrs. Zheng Si really asked people to put the vegetarian dishes brought back by Xu Shu on the table, although they had long lost their original color and fragrance, Mrs. Zheng Si ate with relish, and at the end she also instructed, "Ming'er asked the kitchen to make some vegetarian dishes to eat, and I feel tired of eating those fish and chickens every day, and it is also excellent to eat some vegetarian dishes to change the taste!" ”

Jin Ling said with a smile, "This is Miss Jiu who bought it back personally, so you think it's delicious, and others can't catch up with what they make!" ”

"That's just as well!" Mrs. Zheng Si smiled, and her partiality towards Xu Shu was clear in her words.

As he was talking, Jin Zhi came in, his face was a little bad, "Madam, the old lady is invited!" ”

Mrs. Zheng Si chuckled in her heart and hurriedly asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

Jin Zhi glanced at Xu Shu, and stopped talking, even if he couldn't see it, Xu Shu knew where Jin Zhi's hesitation came from, and he hurriedly stood up, "Mother, then I'll go back first!" ”

Mrs. Zheng Si was afraid that something bad would happen, so she didn't dare to let Xu Shu hear it, so she also sent her back, "Just after eating, you go to the garden to take a walk and eliminate food!" ”

Xu Shu nodded and led Yuzhu and Yinzhi out.

Jin Zhi hurriedly leaned up and said to Mrs. Zheng Si, "Jiang Xue has found a short time, and her family went to the upper room to cry and ask for an explanation!" ”

Mrs. Zheng Si was shocked, "Why did you find a short-sighted person who is good?" Although she kicked Jiang Xue out, she didn't say anything serious, she only said that she was annoyed that Jiang Xue didn't take good care of Miss Ten, and Miss Ten was injured, this reason is a hundred times lighter than what Jiang Xue has done, how can she find a short-term view because of this?

Jin Zhi shook her head, "This slave doesn't know, the mother who came to pass the news said that the old lady was very angry, saying that the Zheng family had not been looking for death for many years, and the second lady was also helping beside her, saying that people like us have never been sluts!" ”

Second Mrs. Zheng is also there?

Mrs. Zheng Si had a number in her heart, straightened her clothes and said, "You go to Lanxin Pavilion and tell Biyun that she must show Sister Feng to me no matter what, don't let people run out, otherwise I will only ask her!" ”

Jin Zhi nodded, "Slave and maid will go!" ”

Mrs. Zheng Si called Jin Ling again, "Let's go, let's go to the room!" ”

What should come will always come, and you can't hide from it!

"Ouch, it's really pitiful, this is just the time, it's the green onion, how can people say it's gone......"

From a distance, Mrs. Zheng heard Mrs. Zheng's exaggerated sigh and a fake sigh.

"The Fourth Lady is here!" Yahuan enters the report!

The old lady bowed slightly, and Yahuan invited Mrs. Zheng Si in.

Before Mrs. Zheng Si appeared, Mrs. Zheng exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Fourth brother and sister, you are here, you can persuade Aunt Hu to find death and life, the noisy old lady has a headache Although the dead daughter is sympathetic, but it is a big sin to quarrel with the old lady!" ”

Although Aunt Hu was crying, her voice was not loud, but in comparison, Second Mrs. Zheng had a high pitch and a loud voice, and the listeners frowned, and even the old lady was dissatisfied.

Mrs. Zheng Si invited An Cai and asked, "Old lady, what's wrong?" The daughter-in-law just heard that Jiang Xue was dead, and she didn't have time to ask what was going on! ”

The old lady glanced at Aunt Hu, then looked at Mrs. Zheng Si, and said leisurely, "There are no rules, there is no circle, the subordinates have done something wrong, and they should be punished!" I also heard about Jiangxue, the fourth lady's punishment is not heavy, and now that the person is dead, it is also her own can't think of finding a short-term view, it has nothing to do with the fourth lady, the old Hu family, you shouldn't come to the room to make trouble without asking! If it is for the funeral silver, according to the rules of the house, just find the eldest lady directly! ”

Seeing that the old lady was clear and reasonable, Mrs. Zheng Si breathed a sigh of relief, although the old lady was strict, but she had always been fair, she was relieved at this point, she was not afraid that Mrs. Zheng would say that the black was white, and the white was black!

Aunt Hu cried, "Although the slave and maid are poor, they are not black-hearted people who exchange their children's lives for silver!" The slave maid knew that Jiang Xue was not good at her errand, and she should be punished, so I persuaded her, thinking about finding another errand for her, and she also promised to do it well, but she only went back to Lanxin Pavilion to pack up her things and came back and threw herself into the well, and the slave and maid couldn't figure it out! I can't figure out why she wants to die! ”

Second Mrs. Zheng said, "What's so hard to figure out about this, didn't you just say it, she only found a short-term sight after going back, but it was just that something happened when she went back to this trip, so she broke off the idea of life!" Isn't it true that there are people who have one thing in front of them and one thing behind them, saying it well in front of their faces, but they are sluts behind their backs and force people to death! Mother, do you think so? ”

The old lady glanced at Second Mrs. Zheng, ignored her, and only stared at Aunt Hu who was kneeling below with the corner of her eye.

Second Mrs. Zheng's insinuation is that Mrs. Zheng Si forced Jiang Xue to death when she went back to Lanxin Pavilion to pack her things, and Mrs. Zheng Si will endure this stigma again? immediately sneered, "What the second sister-in-law said is clear-eyed, could it be that she saw it with her own eyes?" ”

Second Lady Zheng's eyes rolled, "Naturally, I didn't see it, but there are so many people in the mansion, there will always be someone who sees it!" Mother might as well find someone to ask, and it will be clear when you ask! ”

The old lady rubbed the rosary in her hand, and seemed to be a little undecided.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng Si hesitated a little and said, "If you ask with great fanfare, it will inevitably make this matter bigger, after all, Jiang Xue is serving Sister Feng'er, and if this matter is big, it will inevitably hinder Sister Feng'er's reputation, Sister Feng hasn't been engaged yet......

"Heh, is your daughter's reputation important? Or does the reputation of the entire Zheng family matter? Second Lady Zheng immediately raised her voice and retorted, "This is a human life!" Isn't it a false reputation, and you have to fool this thing over? Let everyone else point fingers and say that our Zheng family is careless about human life? ”

Mrs. Zheng Si didn't want to argue with Mrs. Zheng, so she said to the old lady, "The second sister-in-law's consideration is also reasonable, Sister Feng'er's reputation is important, and the reputation of the Zheng family cannot be damaged!" Since Aunt Hu wants to ask Jiang Xue for an explanation, Jiang Xue has been serving Sister Feng for nearly ten years, and her daughter-in-law can't bear to see her disappear in such a daze, this matter should be asked clearly! It's just that it doesn't fit the fanfare to ask, and the daughter-in-law saw a lot of whispering people on the way here, so you might as well quietly ask someone to inquire about it, and see who Jiang Xuexun saw before she died, and what she talked to, there are always traces to be found! ”

"Then I have to ask what year and month will it go? Any clues have already been wiped clean, and you can't find out if you are still waiting for the fourth brother and sister? Second Mrs. Zheng suddenly laughed, "Fourth brother and sister, you have done everything possible to prevent the old lady from investigating this matter thoroughly, could it be that the fourth brother and sister have a ghost in your heart?" ”
