Chapter 6: The Sorrowful Concubine of Cui Mansion (4)
There are only two aunts in Cui's house, and it seems that the door is simple, but three women play a play, and there is excitement to watch every once in a while.
Aunt Li has been serving by Master Cui's side since she was a girl, don't you know what kind of temper he has? Cui Yuwei and Cui Yuzhen are now concubines, doesn't she know that the marriage is all under the control of the Wang family and has nothing to do with the two concubines?
Aunt Li has been secretly calculating, making Aunt Yun more and more unpopular with Master Cui, if she really makes trouble for marriage, falling out of favor is a trivial matter, and she may even be injured or disabled, or sold out of the house.
Meng Hui glanced at Aunt Yun, not knowing how she had persevered for so many episodes...... Maybe it's a fool who is a fool!
"Auntie, don't cry. If you go to your father's place to make trouble, you can't change the matter at all, and you will be implicated. β
"They are so ruthlessβ" Aunt Yun cried even more happily when she heard this, and tears the size of beans fell down. "Madame snatched you away, why don't you kiss you properly? It's better to marry an honest and motivated white body than to fill the house for a half-dead ghostβ"
Meng Hui was wrinkled by her crying, Aunt Yun really remembered Cui Yuzhen, otherwise she would not have said such things for her sake.
Seeing her with a handful of snot and tears, Meng Hui, who had long forgotten what family affection was, suddenly softened his heart and his tone unconsciously softened. "Auntie, don't worry, I'll figure it out myself."
Aunt Yun rarely sees her daughter, and she is afraid that the Wang family will know that it is not good for her daughter, but today she is really angry and afraid, so she rushed over with courage. She didn't know Cui Yuzhen's true temperament, and she wasn't surprised by Meng Hui's confident tone, but she was a little puzzled.
"What can the girl do? But don't do anything stupid! β
"I know, auntie, don't worry."
Occupying other people's bodies for so long and not helping others do something, Meng Hui felt a little unbearable in his heart. Besides, Cui Yuying and Cui Yuzhen's sisterhood is very deep, if Cui Yuzhen is allowed to marry Master Zheng, where will she have the face to persuade Cui Yuying to reincarnate with peace of mind?
If you want to help others but you want to, you have to help to the end.
"Auntie, stay in the yard and don't get involved. If Aunt Li comes to you, you will say that you have suffered from the cold, and you are afraid that it will be passed on to her and you will not be able to meet guests. β
Aunt Yun hesitated and refused to agree, and seemed to trust Aunt Li.
She had a bag of tears in her eyes, and when she saw Meng Hui's eyes staring at her, she nodded in response. "Okay, well, I listen to you, and when I go back, I will say that I am sick and will not see anyone again! Even if...... Even if the master comes, I won't see me! β
Meng Hui was quite resentful when she heard her talk about Master Cui, and silently lit a wax for her in her heart to commemorate her dead love......
"Then go back first, you must pretend not to know about this marriage."
"It's about the girl's name, where can I talk nonsense-" Aunt Yun wiped away her tears in two or two, and said awkwardly, "People only start crying when they walk into your yard!" β
After sending Aunt Yun away, Meng Hui fell asleep unconsciously, and when he woke up again, it was already midnight outside. Her throat was thirsty, and she got up to pour some herbal tea to drink, but as she walked outside, she heard the creak of the wooden door, and a gray figure came in from outside the door.
"Ahh Scared the hell out of me! β
"Beads?" Meng Hui recognized that this was the condensation bead sent to Cui Yuying's grave, and his clenched fist loosened, "I'm thirsty, get up and pour some tea." β
"Girl, go lie down, I'll go and bring the tea hot." Ning Zhu quickly put down the candlestick, picked up the teapot and was about to go out.
Meng Hui stopped her indifferently and said, "No need, just drink a little and go to sleep." β
Ning Zhu has always been obedient to her, and the weather has not been cold recently, so she nodded and poured a glass and handed it to her.
"Girl, I just heard Ning Lu say that the second girl is looking for trouble again? Did Madame punish the girl? β
"Sort of, punish me for not being allowed to go to the Wenfu Flower Club."
Fourteen-year-old Ning Zhu and twelve-year-old Ning Lu grew up with Cui Yuzhen, and the three of them can be regarded as dependent on each other, and their relationship is better than that of ordinary masters and servants.
Cui Yuzhen usually doesn't care about humility when she talks to them, and she doesn't cower, so she doesn't need to continue to pretend.
Ning Zhu was a little regretful when she heard this, and sighed: "Every time there is anything that can show your face, let the second girl mix it up!" The girl is about to make a handkerchief, and there is not a handkerchief outside! β
In the past, there were opportunities to go out to make friends, Cui Yuying and Cui Yuzhen could only be foils on the side, firstly, because Cui Yuwei loved to be in the limelight, and secondly, because the two of them did not like to socialize.
Meng Hui said nonchalantly: "No, there is no one, Cui Yuwei has a lot of 'handkerchiefs', and she is not chewing each other's tongues behind her back." By the way, did you pass by the garden fish pond when you came back? β
"Passing by," Ning Zhu thought that her girl was worried that she was afraid, and proudly straightened her chest, "I'm not afraid!" The eldest girl was kind when she was alive, not to mention that I have a clear conscience, why do I hide like Mama Li! I don't have to be suspicious! Ning Zhu snorted twice after saying it to show her disdain.
"Did you see Mama Li hiding?"
"Yes, before dawn this morning, I saw Mama Li sneaking past, looking back at the direction of the bamboo forest while running."
Meng Hui hurriedly asked, "Then don't you see anything in the bamboo forest?" β
Ning Zhu thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "It seems that there is some movement, but it was still dark at that time, there should be no one, it is not good, it may be the wind?" β
Meng Hui shook his head, feeling that there must be someone there. And he was also a person who frightened Mama Li, so she had to flee the scene quickly and quickly run back to report to Wang.
can not only make Mama Li so frightened that she turns around and runs, but also makes Wang cry when he hears it, the person at the scene is likely to be Master Cui, right?
What is Master Cui doing there? Could it be that his suspicion was ruled out too soon?
Meng Hui's mind was in a mess, so he had to overturn the previous analysis. She looked at the dark night outside the window, and said to Ning Zhu in her heart: "I want to go to the fish pond, you have to help me watch the wind!" β
The condensation bead reflexively responded: "Yes!" After speaking, he reacted, this kind of thing is clearly not his own girl's style, "What are you going to do in the fish pond now?" Although we are not afraid, after all, it is the place where the eldest girl was killed, and it is inevitable that it will ......"
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, thinking of Cui Yuying's goodness, and didn't say the word "unlucky".
Meng Hui knew that she was credible, so he didn't hide his plans, and said bluntly: "The old lady plans to marry me to an old widower, and the big sister's suspicion may be my turning point." β
