Chapter 22: The Sorrowful Concubine of Cui's Mansion (20)

Meng Hui noticed that Lian'er's clothes were old and dirty, her exposed hands were torn and wounded, her thin face was covered with blood marks of different old and new, and there were pinched black bruises on her neck.

In the past in Cui Mansion, in order to curry favor with Cui Yuwei, Lian'er would stab Cui Yuzhen and Cui Yuying every time she saw her, saying that she was the number one lackey around Cui Yuwei.

But now, after she was frightened, there was only humility left in her eyes, and she walked out of the door with her waist hunched over, and said in a pleading tone: "Third girl, Miss Ningzhu, the family is simple and inconvenient to entertain guests, come with me here to talk." ”

Meng Hui estimated that she still had her in-laws at home, and it was indeed inconvenient to ask, so she nodded and walked with her to the base of the wall far away from the fool.

"When did your family redeem you? Why is there no movement in the house at all? This also says that if you marry, you will marry! Ning Zhu was too lazy to go around in circles with her, the two of them always quarreled in the past, and they didn't have a good face for each other, even if Lian'er was not doing well, Ning Zhu still felt that there was no need to sympathize.

Lian'er pulled the corners of her mouth when she heard this, looking quite sarcastic.

"You think I want to be ransomed? Want to marry this idiot? Miss Ningzhu, you're here, so don't pretend you don't know why. After she finished speaking, she looked at Meng Hui with sadness in her eyes, and her tone slowed down a lot. The third girl came to inquire about the eldest girl. ”

Meng Hui didn't expect her to show her mouth so easily, and her plans such as bribing with broken silver and threatening officials had no chance to be implemented at all. It seems that Lian'er is very reluctant to leave the house and marry, and there must be resentment buried in her heart, which makes Meng Hui feel a lot more relaxed.

Speaking of which, Lian'er is not a loyal person, and the reason why she pleases Cui Yuwei is because of a bright future. If you make it like this now, and don't bite back when you have the opportunity, you're a real fool.

"Now that you know, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. What kind of person Cui Yuwei is, you should know better than me by now. Would you rather watch her well, or would you rather see her fall to the bottom? Think it through. ”

Meng Hui provoked a sentence, and Lian'er couldn't hide the hatred on her face.

"Oh, I think so clearly! The third girl is afraid that she doesn't know, on the day the eldest girl died, why did she leave her yard after dark and run to the bamboo forest alone, right? ”

Seeing Meng Hui shaking her head, Lian'er pulled out a very sarcastic smile and said, "That's because the eldest prince instructed me to go to the eldest girl and bring a word." ”

"What?"

"'If you don't want to be discredited, come and talk to me in the bamboo forest alone.'" I didn't know what the meaning of this was at all, and I thought that the eldest son had drunk too much and wanted to play tricks on the eldest girl. ”

Lian'er looked disdainful, and then said: "That day was Aunt Li's birthday, and there was a lot of wine at the banquet. The second girl was drunk and fell down, and was helped by Ling'er to walk in front, and the eldest prince took advantage of that time to hold me and let me pass the word. ”

"I didn't even think about it, so I responded and told the half-drunk second girl." When Lian'er mentioned Cui Yuwei, she couldn't help but snort coldly, "Later, when the eldest girl had an accident, I was scared, and the second girl was even more scared." ”

"I was bent on how to help her get rid of it, and she was okay and just put the basin on my head. said that if I hadn't spoken too much, the eldest prince would not have killed anyone. ”

When Meng Hui heard that Cui Yuwei had this reaction, he was almost sure that the murderer was Aunt Li! It's just that she didn't plan to talk about it to Lian'er, but let her continue to vent.

"I remember it clearly, that night the big girl heard what I said, and her face turned white with fright."

"I had barely turned and walked a few steps when she bolted the door and left the yard in a panic. I knew that she was going to the bamboo forest, and I was going to see the jokes, but I thought that the second girl had drunk too much, and if she couldn't find me, she would have to punish her, so I stopped thinking. ”

"Hmph, fortunately I didn't go, if I was discovered, it would be strange if I wasn't killed! The next day, when I heard the news of the eldest girl's death, my mind went blank, and then I remembered what the eldest son asked me to pass on, and I thought it was really strange. ”

Lian'er looked into the distance, her eyes a little erratic. "Why did the eldest prince bring that sentence to the eldest girl?"

"But before I could figure it out, my mother suddenly came to the door. I didn't spend half a tael of silver, and redeemed my deed from the second girl. The day after I returned to the village, I was put into a sedan chair with my family tied up and my head covered, and married a fool. ”

Lian'er unwillingly shed two tears, gritted her teeth and said: "Whether it was the eldest prince or someone else who killed the murderer, I didn't bother to pay attention to it." But there is no for serious evildoers, so why should I, a messenger in the middle, suffer such a sin? ”

Meng glanced back at her, frowning and thinking, there was no overflow of the Holy Mother's heart to comfort Lian'er.

She finally knew that the reason why Cui Yuying ran to the bamboo forest alone was because she heard Lian'er's words and mistakenly thought that Cui Yuwei knew about Cui Da's harassment of her.

The reason why Cui Da wanted to borrow Lian'er's mouth was to ensure that Cui Yuying felt threatened and went to the bamboo forest alone.

He used the wine to strengthen his courage and made up his mind to take advantage of Cui Yuying, but because of the drunkenness, he didn't take it lightly, and smashed Cui Yuying's head with a stone.

All the doubts in Meng Hui's heart have been solved, and she can sort out the rest of the matter.

Cui Yuying was smashed, and in a panic, she grabbed Cui Da's wishful knot, and the jade pendant tied together fell into the bamboo forest at that time.

Cui Da saw Cui Yuying falling, the wine was frightened awake, and he hurriedly left the bamboo forest, not caring about what he had left behind.

Who knew that Aunt Li chased her out and saw this scene for some reason, thinking of her son's reputation and her daughter's marriage, she simply dragged Cui Yuying, who had fainted, to the fish pond and drowned herself.

In this way, the ugly matter of the son harassing his sister-in-law is no longer a trouble, and the matter of the daughter and the son of Wen is no longer a trouble.

As Aunt Li expected, Master Cui didn't want to spread the murder case at the juncture of kissing, so he immediately ordered to announce that Cui Yuying died of illness. The Wang family was happy in his heart, and he couldn't find out the truth.

It wasn't until a hundred days passed that Cui Da came back to his senses and remembered the jade pendant, and went to the bamboo forest to look for it before dawn. The thing was found, but it was seen by Mama Li and Ning Zhu who were passing by, and Mama Li mistakenly thought it was Master Cui. Frightened, the Wang family cried and trembled, and the master and servant were at a loss.

It was also at that time that Aunt Li took the initiative to tell the truth from Master Cui. So, Aunt Yun next door heard them arguing about "marriage" and told Meng Hui, who went to inquire about the news.

Meng Hui sorted out all this, and felt that the people in Cui Mansion were terrible and hateful.

It's true that Aunt Li is a murderer, but Cui Da, Cui Yuwei, Lian'er, and the cold-blooded and ruthless Master Cui are all silent accomplices!
