Chapter 13: The Sorrowful Concubine of Cui Mansion (11)
Aunt Li looked at the miserable white and thin face of "Cui Yuzhen" after her serious illness, and she felt a chill in her heart, and a chill arose from the soles of her feet.
"Your big sister, what did she tell you in her dream?" Aunt Li's voice was unnatural, obviously trying to be as gentle as possible, but it sounded creepy.
When Meng Hui heard that she had asked a mage to do things, she knew that she must believe in these gods and ghosts. was about to use the dream as an excuse to deceive her a few more words, but the door was pushed open with a bang.
"Auntie! Look at the corners of my skirt, it's burned to the point that it doesn't look like it, help me mend it! ”
Cui Yuwei, who was clueless, was unhappy with a face written on her face, and pushed open the door in a hurry and broke in, holding a skirt in her hand. The skirt is made of excellent materials, but the corners of the skirt are burned with a few holes, and you can't wear it out without repairing it.
"The third girl is here? Sit and talk. Aunt Yun woke up from her unnatural state and got up to invite Cui Yuwei to take a seat.
Seeing Meng Hui sitting on the beauty couch, Cui Yuwei frowned, and then seemed to remember something, and suddenly laughed.
Aunt Li asked while pouring tea, "What are you laughing at, girl?" So happy. ”
Cui Yuying stuffed the skirt in her hand into the corner and said, "I am the third sister of Xiao, I got the reputation of a starving ghost early this morning, and I will marry into the Zheng family's family in the future, and I must not eat up the wealth of other people's thousands of families!" ”
Meng Hui knew that most of them were the little maids in the main house chewing on the root of her tongue, but she didn't care about Cui Yuwei's sarcasm at all, she only cared about the burned skirt.
Cui Yuwei hasn't been out recently, and her skirt won't be burned outside. It is impossible for her to cook on the fire, nor to deliberately play with fire, and now is not the season to light a brazier, so how can her dress be burned?
The corners of the skirt where a few holes were burned reminded her of the paper ash and incense ash by the fish pond.
If you catch fire at the edge of the fish pond, it's easy to put it out, just step into the water. If you look closely, there are indeed mud stains on the corners of the skirt that have not been washed, which shows that the person who burns paper and incense is Cui Yuwei.
She suspected that the paper burner was likely to be a guilty murderer, but now that she looked at it, she didn't dare to be sure.
Cui Yuwei closed her door and did not "mourn" for a long time after Cui Yuying's death, and Aunt Yun also said that during that time, Aunt Li invited a mage to do it. Coupled with the burning of paper, Cui Yuwei is indeed very suspicious.
But Aunt Yun's performance just now was too suspicious. Her expression when she inquired about the dream was empty-hearted, frightened, and cruel. Compared with Cui Yuwei, Aunt Yun is the real werewolf.
"Third sister, why don't you speak? Could it be that he got a good marriage, so he can't look down on his sister? Cui Yuwei covered the corners of her mouth and snickered, as if she felt that as long as she mentioned Lord Zheng's marriage, she could poke at the most painful spot of others.
For people like Cui Yuwei, seeing others having a bad time will give her a sense of satisfaction.
Meng Hui knew that she was a little careful, and he was extremely contemptuous in his heart, but he didn't have the heart to quarrel with her at the moment. "Where would I look down on my second sister?"
Meng Hui lowered his head and deliberately said in a trembling voice: "Just now...... Talking to Aunt Li about the big sister...... Remembering the big sister in the icy water...... She always gave me dreams, saying that her head hurt so much, that she was so cold...... I was sad for a while, and I asked my second sister not to blame me. ”
Cui Yuwei's face immediately sank, every time she mentioned Cui Yuying before, she didn't have such a reaction. At this time, her right hand involuntarily stretched out to the skirt in the corner, and her eyes also glanced over, and this knee-jerk reaction was naturally seen by Meng Hui.
When Cui Yuwei came back to her senses and withdrew her gaze and right hand, her eyes that looked at Meng Hui again were full of hatred, and her voice became sharp.
"Little slut, are you full of food, and your brain is stuck with oil? Cui Yuying died of illness! She fell ill and died in her own room! What nonsense are you talking about here! ”
"See if I don't tear your mouth!" Cui Yuwei's expression was distorted, she jumped off the beauty couch, rushed to Meng Hui's side, and raised her hand to slap her. Meng Hui was about to dodge sideways, when he saw Aunt Li hugging Cui Yuwei.
"Second girl, I can't help it!" Aunt Li's eyes were frightened, and she shouted hintly, "No matter how the eldest girl didn't, this matter has already passed!" Don't have a dislike with the three girls for this! ”
"In this house, there are only you two girls!"
Meng Hui knew what she meant when she thought about it, if she broke Cui Yuzhen's face, who would she marry Master Zheng?
Cui Yuwei heard Aunt Li's words and really sobered up. The tense body slowly relaxed, put down the hand that was about to be slapped, and involuntarily took two steps back.
"yes, no matter how she died, it's over." She was helped by Aunt Yun to sit on the beauty couch, raised her head suddenly, and looked at Aunt Yun's face with a strange look. "Auntie, huh?"
Meng Hui felt very strange, and glanced at it with a twisted brow, seeing Cui Yuwei's expression, as if she was asking Aunt Yun for something.
"Yes! It's all gone! Aunt Yun replied in an affirmative tone, reaching out and gently stroking her hair. I know that the second girl is sad, but people can't live in the past, and they will go to Wenfu tomorrow as a guest, so don't be angry with the second girl. ”
"Yes, I'm going to Wenfu tomorrow. Auntie, I'll go first, remember to help me mend the skirt. If you can't make up for it, cut it and make it again. ”
Cui Yuwei said as she got up with a straight face. She glanced at Cui Yuzhen in disgust, as if she was going to flee from here, and rushed out of the door.
After she left, Meng Hui got up tremblingly, and said tentatively: "It's all my fault that made the second sister angry." Aunt Li, my needlework is okay, or ...... Why don't I mend the corners of my big sister's skirt. ”
Aunt Li took her hand with a smile and said, "No need, no need, the girl still has a lot of embroidery work to do." ”
She didn't have the heart to inquire about the dream at the moment, and euphemistically gave the eviction order. "Girl sit a little longer? I won't accompany it, this skirt has to be mended, I have to make it quickly. ”
Meng Hui knew that there was no point in staying any longer, so he picked up the paper on the table and said goodbye. "Don't sit down, thank you aunt for her tricks, I'll go back."
When I came out of Aunt Li's yard, it was almost noon. Meng Hui walked back unhurriedly, what she saw and heard today was not ordinarily informative, she felt that the case had begun to become clear, but there were still some mysteries stirred up in it.
"Girl, where is the eldest prince?" Meng Hui heard the reminder of condensation, and raised his eyes to see Cui Da, who had a puffy and kidney deficiency face, standing by the flowers. Seeing her approaching, he strode towards her.
