Chapter Ninety-Five: Thieves Are Hard to Prevent
Mother Zhang and Yu Wenyi's faces changed, attracting the attention of Mrs. Yu. The old lady's sharp gaze swept between the two. "Mom Zhang, give me the key."
"Old lady......"
Mrs. Yu's eyes lit up, and Mama Zhang immediately went to get the key. The old lady walked directly past Yu Wenyi with her steps, Yu Wenyi wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and her heart was even more anxious. pondered and pondered in my heart, and after a few hesitations, I still chased after him.
When she arrived at the small Buddha hall, the old lady turned the golden Buddha and carried a candle directly into the small vault. After a while, Mrs. Yu walked out with a dark face, and directly threw the candle in her hand at Zhang's mother.
"Mom Zhang, you're so bold!"
Mother Zhang hurriedly knelt down, and her silent appearance with her head down annoyed the old lady even more. The old lady pointed at her with her fingers, and her fingers wanted to poke at the door of her head.
"What about the painting? And what about the stuff in there? Yes? Mom Zhang, the key I put you in charge of the small vault is for you to guard and steal it? Mom Zhang, you can be guts! ”
Mother Zhang leaned down and explained again and again: "Old lady, the slave maid has been in front of you for so many years, don't you still know the slave maid?" Where do slaves and maids dare to guard and steal, slaves and maids don't dare! ”
Old Madam Yu trembled with anger, "It's not you or who?" Isn't this key in your hand? It's not you, is it difficult or literary? ”
After saying this, Mrs. Yu herself was stunned for a moment, by the way, Yu Wenyi! Yu Wenyi's face also changed just now, and it was clear that it had something to do with it!
Pushing away Mama Zhang, who was kneeling in front of her, the old lady walked out in a few steps. As soon as he walked out of the door of the small Buddha hall, he saw Yu Wenyi kneeling on the ground, looking like he had admitted his mistake.
"Grandmother!"
Yu Wenyi kowtowed, his voice was not loud, but it was real. When he looked up, his head was already red.
The old lady was angry, thinking about the things that were lost in the small treasury, she felt distressed, how could this self-inflicted mark on Yu Wenyi's head compare to those.
She had a dark face and pointed at Yu Wenyi with trembling fingers, "You took the things from my little vault?" ”
Yu Wenyi kowtowed again, "Grandmother, my grandson knows it's wrong." ”
In a trance, the old lady seemed to see her son who died early, as if she saw Yu Wenyi, who was naughty and mischievous when she was a child, and her anger was shouted by him for a while, but in a blink of an eye, the portrait she wanted to give to Cheng Zirui was gone, and her heart began to be angry again. "Mother Zhang, this key is not left at all, how did you get in? Or did you collude with Zhang's mother a long time ago, just to want to exchange my things for silver? ”
The old lady realized later, "No wonder you were having fun outside every day some time ago, even if I cut off your money, you don't want to come back, it turns out that you have a lot of money in your hand, can you spend it vigorously?" ”
Zhang's mother knelt down again, and her heart felt weak for a while. "Old lady, it's the slave's fault, it's the slave's carelessness......"
Before she finished speaking, the old lady turned around and slapped Mama Zhang, who was kneeling behind her, quickly and fiercely. Mother Zhang was stunned, she was the old lady's dowry girl, and she had been serving the old lady with all her heart for so many years. Unexpectedly, today, she was already a handful of years old, and she was still beaten.
"It's not your fault, is it still mine? I gave you the key to the small vault to report to the official, and I gave you such a great trust, and that's how you repaid me? ”
Mother Zhang knew that she was wrong, covered the half of her face, bowed her head and said nothing, the old lady was even more angry, and she was reluctant to hit Yu Wenyi, she could only take Mama Zhang out of anger. Seeing that the hand was about to be raised high again, Yu Wenyi couldn't help it, and hurriedly said in a dumb voice: "This matter has nothing to do with Mama Zhang, it's me...... I took it and got it privately. ”
"What?" The old lady was angry, "Mother Zhang is cautious, so I handed over the key to her for safekeeping." Since you said that this matter has nothing to do with Mama Zhang, then you stole it and then married it privately? Yu Wenyi, Yu Wenyi, it is difficult to prevent thieves day and night, I Liang Jinfeng has been guarding against Yu Chong for more than 20 years, but I didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of my own grandson. Yu Wenyi, you are so promising! ”
Yu Wenyi took Mrs. Yu's other hand and begged in a good voice, "My grandson is young, my grandson is not sensible, but now that my grandson is an official and my grandson is sensible, this kind of thing will never happen again." Grandmother, don't be angry, I won't dare again! ”
"Young? Not sensible? Old Madam Yu was really angry, and the palm she raised high turned around, and it fell on Yu Wenyi's body lightly or heavily. Feeling Yu Wenyi's stiffness and tension, the old lady's body shook twice unsupportively, and was supported by Yu Wenyi and Zhang's mother, and only after relieving her breath did she reprimand him seriously.
"The queen mother has rewarded so many things this morning, are you really happy to thank our Yu Mansion for serving Princess Ling? People want to tell you that if you dare to spread this matter again, the next time you will send it will not be a thing, but a head, and a life! ”
Although she said so much, it was still difficult to dispel the anger in her heart.
"Now that things are so big, I'm afraid that only the Seventh Prince can have a way to suppress this matter. But he is a high-ranking prince, the emperor's own son, what treasures have he not seen? Treasures are not hard to find, but what is hard to find are Chen Yong's paintings. He has always liked Chen Yong's paintings, originally my painting was to take it to him at the right time, but now it's okay, the thing is gone, what do you take to slap people? What is the relationship between Princess Suzu and the crown prince? What is the relationship between the Seventh Prince and the Prince? Now that Yu Fu is walking on the blade, he can die on this with a slight foot, how can people help you? ”
The more the old lady spoke, the more excited she became, her whole body was already trembling, her hands and feet were cold, and her face was pale and ugly. "It's not easy for our Yu family to have a descendant who has entered the ranks, one is the second grade, if this honor is ruined in your hands, where will I have the face to see your father and mother and the ancestors of the Yu family after I die!"
Yu Wenyi was anxious, "Grandmother, you are angry, and your grandson will never dare to do it in the future." ”
The old lady was so angry that she couldn't speak, and if she didn't let out the anger she was holding in her heart, I was afraid that she would have to be suffocated like this. was reluctant to do anything to Yu Wenyi, so she could only turn the finger to Zhang's mother again.
"How did he take the key to the good end? Mom Zhang, did you know about this early on? ”
Zhang's mother didn't dare to hide it anymore, so she told the truth. "One day, the slave accidentally dropped the key and was picked up by the child, and when the slave and maid found out...... He is the grandson of the old lady and the future master of the Yu family, and the slave and maid are also embarrassed......"
"How long? How long has this been? The old lady's voice suddenly became sharp, "Speak! ”
"Two years, two years."
Two years!
Yu Wenyi stole her family wealth for two years under her nose! The old lady was distressed, and she was even more angry, and suddenly became angry, and her eyes were dark, and the whole person fainted. Yu Wenyi and Zhang's mother were so frightened that they invited a doctor, and they asked for a doctor, and they called people, and there was a shortage of soldiers.
When Xu Shuyuan and Chen Song rushed to hear the news, Dr. Jin was treating the old lady. Yu Wenyi looked anxious, and grabbed Dr. Jin and asked for a while. Doctor Jin sighed, "The old lady is old, and this time she is angry again, and she needs to recuperate." I've already written two prescriptions here, I'll take this one today, I'll drink the other one tomorrow, and I'll come back in three days. ”
After sending Dr. Jin away, Yu Wenyi was even more guilty and unwilling to leave, and stubbornly wanted to stay in front of the old lady. Xu Shuyuan didn't know the reason, and after persuading him twice, he shouted that Chen Song would retreat first.
Hearing Chen Song's name, Yu Wenyi remembered that Chen Song was the key person in this turmoil, and his eyes followed over there, only to see that Chen Song and Xu Shuyuan had a subtle tenderness hidden between their eyebrows.
Yu Wenyi was stunned for a moment, and after a closer look, there was no suspicion at all. But just now......
"Mother Zhang, Chen Song has been with Shuyuan these days?"
Mother Zhang didn't think much about it, nodded and said directly: "Yesterday, the young master went out with the young lady." ”
Yu Wenyi's face suddenly darkened, "What are they going out for?" ”
When Zhang's mother saw his look, she reacted and said with a smile: "It was Princess Ling who invited the master of the small courtyard to go out, and the old lady was not at ease, so she asked the young lady and the young master to go out to watch together." ”
After hearing these words, Yu Wenyi's heart relaxed a lot. Repeatedly, Zhang's mother took care of the old lady who was still asleep, and he went back to his yard. Xu Shuyuan was fiddling with her jewelry next to the makeup, holding a glass step shake in her hand, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, put it on her head with a smile, and took it down and stroked it twice, she couldn't put it down.
Yu Wenyi's face was gloomy and cold, and he kicked over the stool next to him when he raised his foot. "Grandmother is sick, are you still in the mood to wear jewelry here?"
Xu Shuyuan's heart chuckled, and she put things down without changing her face. "Dr. Jin said that my grandmother should not be disturbed now, and she wants to meditate and cultivate, so I called my cousin to leave."
Seeing that Yu Wenyi's face was even more ugly when he mentioned Chen Song, Xu Shuyuan wisely stopped mentioning it, but asked about the old lady's situation.
Sure enough, when it came to the old lady, Yu Wenyi was worried, "Grandmother is old and can't be stimulated." ”
Today, Xu Shuyuan didn't understand this matter before he made such a scene, and Yu Wenyi came back at this time, and Xu Shuyuan was about to divert the topic, so he asked him what was going on. Yu Wenyi was really angry in his heart, so he simply told Xu Shuyuan in one go. Who knew that Xu Shuyuan's face changed after hearing the rumors between Chen Song and Princess Ling, and she couldn't help but say sourly: "Do they know that people are terrible and have participated in murder?" Princess Ling is interested in your second uncle, Guan Song's cousin. ”
