Chapter 245: The Trap
Red Sleeves went out with antidiarrheal pills.
As soon as I got out of the hospital, I saw my aunt and grandmother, that is, Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department, returning to the door with her daughter.
Red Sleeves stepped aside and saluted her aunt and grandmother.
Inner room.
The old lady leaned on the big pillow.
The second aunt and grandmother fed her medicine.
Liao Xue stood aside with a plate.
The plate is filled with candied fruit and has an attractive color.
The maid came in and said, "Old lady, my aunt and cousin are back. ”
When the old lady looked up, she saw Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department walking in with her daughter Qu Qing'er.
"Daughter greets mother," said the eldest aunt and grandmother.
Qu Qing'er took half a step back and said, "I've seen my grandmother." ”
The second aunt and grandmother continued to feed the medicine.
After feeding a bowl of medicine, Liao Xue fed a candied fruit.
The old lady said, "Get up." ”
Qu Qing'er rolled her eyes at the bluestone ground before straightening up.
The second aunt and grandmother put down the medicine bowl, got up to greet the eldest aunt and grandmother, and said, "Why did the eldest sister come back now?" ”
The eldest aunt and grandmother smiled, "There is something in the house that has delayed, and I came back half an hour later than my sister." ”
The second aunt's grandmother's face suddenly became a little unbearable.
She didn't come back early for long.
"It won't be delayed for Dongxiang Hou to enter the Criminal Department, right?" The second aunt asked.
The aunt frowned.
She didn't speak.
The old lady looked at her, "The dignified Shangshu of the Criminal Department was really scared by a bandit and took refuge in Beijing?" ”
"Mother listened to who chewed the root of her tongue?"
"No," the aunt denied.
"The lord told me a few days ago that he was going to leave Beijing to investigate the case, and at that time, Dongxiang Hou had not broken Chen Shilang's leg."
The second aunt and grandmother had a sneer in their eyes.
She thought that if she said this, everyone would believe it?
"Although it's a coincidence, everyone doesn't think so, it's just that Lord Shangshu is afraid of Dongxiang Hou," the second aunt and grandmother said.
The eldest aunt and grandmother picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "The court is not afraid of Dongxianghou, but he is afraid that he can count on one hand, and our lord is afraid that he has nothing to be ashamed of, so why bother with those who don't have a backache when they stand and talk?" ”
"Dongxiang Hou Mansion is the in-law family of the Zhenguo Mansion, Dongxiang Hou sent grain and grass to the military camp, and also saved the eldest brother's life, no matter how Dongxiang Hou behaves, at least he is kind to our Zhenguo Mansion."
Mother Wang brought tea and said, "Auntie and grandmother drink tea." ”
The topic was diverted, and everyone talked about something else, but it was not pleasant.
Liao Xue said, "Grandmother, let's go see Jinyu's cousins." ”
Qu Qing'er and Liao Xuefu left.
Out of Qihe Hall, they went to greet the lord of Nanzhang County, and then went to see Xie Jinyu.
Xie Jinyu poured bitter water on the two of them, and hated Su Jin to the core.
Liao Xue fanned the flames and used the fact that Shangshu of the Criminal Department was forced to leave Beijing by Dongxiang Hou to stab Qu Qing'er's heart.
Qu Qing'er was very angry.
Of course.
She wasn't angry with Su Jin and Dongxiang Hou.
Mother told her that her father was not afraid of Dongxiang Hou before leaving Beijing, Dongxiang Hou saved his uncle, and his father was grateful to him and did not want to conflict with him, so he avoided his edge, and it was not wrong for Dad to do this.
If she had a conflict with her cousin-in-law, she would really become a father and be afraid of Dongxianghou.
Liao Xue swung out a few fists, all of them smashed on the cotton, and suddenly became angry, she looked at Qu Qing'er and said, "Don't you vent your evil anger for your father?" ”
It's not over to sow discord.
Qu Qing'er had a look of disgrace on her face.
"My father didn't leave Beijing because of Dongxiang Hou, why should I be angry with my cousin-in-law?"
"I provoked my cousin for no reason, I was afraid that I would be carried out of the country's mansion," Qu Qing'er replied.
“……。”
Liao Xue's face froze.
"I don't think you're not angry, you don't dare to be angry!" Liao Xue gritted her teeth and said.
Qu Qing'er was also angry, she said that she didn't dare to provoke her cousin-in-law, and she didn't give up!
Does she have to faint in the hands of her cousin-in-law to be willing?
"You're so angry, why don't you go?" Qu Qing'er snorted.
"You!" Liao Xue was angry.
"Are you scared too?" Qu Qing'er will go back.
"Who's scared?!"
"Just go!" Liao Xue stood up suddenly.
She lifted her feet and walked out.
Xie Jinyu was stunned.
Who the hell are they agitating whom?
"It's not going to happen, is it?" The maid said worriedly.
Xie Jinyu sneered.
"They are afraid that they won't even be able to enter the backyard gate of Agarwood Xuan, what can happen?"
"It's good if something happens!"
Inside the bamboo house.
Xie Jingchen is not there.
Su Jin looked for books on the shelves.
The heights are out of reach.
She called, "Apricot." ”
I shouted three times, but I didn't see anyone.
Where did this maid go?
Su Jin brought a stool and took the book down.
After turning more than a dozen pages, Xing'er came back.
Su Jin saw it and said, "Where did you go?" ”
Xing'er poured tea and drank it, her face flashed, "Recently, the little master is studying how to trick people, just now I entered the yard, and suddenly I have a good idea, I'll try it first, if it works, I'll tell the little master." ”
Su Jin, "....... ”
She couldn't take it at all.
This maid is not only concerned about her affairs, but also about her brother.
Her brother is naughty enough, and this maid is still helping, are these two going to skin the sky together?
Outside the Agarwood Xuan.
Liao Xue walked in aggressively and asked the maid, "Where's my cousin?" ”
"The eldest young master is out of the house," the maid replied.
"What about my cousin?"
"Grandma is in the backyard," the maid replied.
Liao Xue went straight to the backyard.
Then he was stopped by the maid, "Cousin, no one is allowed to enter the backyard without the permission of the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother." ”
"Then you go and tell me, just say that I have something urgent to find her," Liao Xue said impatiently.
"The slave doesn't dare go," said the little maid.
"Why?" Liao Xue frowned.
"Grandma's maid said she had prepared a trap and told me not to go in if I had anything to do," the little maid said.
"Then what should I do if I have to find my grandmother if I have something urgent?" The little maid on the side asked.
“……。”
The maid silently picked up the gong and drum against the wall.
This was given to her by the maid of the eldest and youngest grandmothers.
Let her strike the gong when she has something, and she will come out when she hears it.
She knew there was more than one door into the backyard, but no one knew where the other door was.
Liao Xue had to see Su Jin.
The maid could only beat the gong.
Close, the eardrum was barely shattered.
Inside the bamboo house.
Apricot was a little hungry and nibbled on pastries.
I was so immersed in the pastry that I didn't notice the sound of gongs and drums.
Su Jin heard it and said, "Who is striking the gong?" ”
Apricot was excited, but choked.
The cough didn't stop, and the pastry crumbs flew around.
Su Jin, "....... ”
Su Jin took a few steps back and raised his hand to support his forehead.
Needless to say, I also know that gongs and drums are related to apricots.
Let's hope no one is unlucky.
At the gate of the courtyard, the maid only knocked three times, and Liao Xue became impatient.
She pushed open the courtyard door.
Step in with one foot.
Crash!
A bucket of water was poured down.
Before the crowd could react, an arm-thick piece of wood slammed down on them.
smashed directly on Liao Xue's shoulder.
She fell backwards.
I don't know if it's painful or scary.
In short, fainted.
