Chapter 022: Remembering the Past

After Xie Lingyun entered the house in a panic, Qiaofeng probably knew something, this time she was very eye-catching, and she didn't need to ask her to make tea and retreat.

Xie Lingyun was not in the mood to deal with the people around the eldest lady, and after letting her retreat in a calm tone as much as possible, she sat on the stool irritably, thinking about what the eldest lady meant by what she said to her? Hit the nail on the head again?

Qiu Yan saw that she was in a bad mood, and said worriedly: "Miss, is there anything wrong with the eldest lady looking for you?" ”

Xie Lingyun hesitated for a moment, and then simply told her what happened to the eldest lady, she needed a pair of eyes in Xie Mansion as if she was blind—eyes familiar to Xie Mansion.

After Qiu Yan listened, she muttered with a strange expression: "The fourth and fifth ladies are going to enter the palace?" This...... How is this possible? ”

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, her expression changed greatly, and she covered her mouth and said in a panic: "Miss, what is the eldest lady going to do, why did she tell you about this matter first, and I want you to tell you that there is a problem with the bowl of bird's nest porridge that Miss Fourth gave you?" This ...... "She didn't dare to think about it, and she couldn't figure it out.

Xie Lingyun frowned, she just guessed that the eldest lady was going to clean up Xie Yuting, but the eldest lady was the authoritative person in the Xie Mansion, if she wanted to clean up any person, would she need to be so troublesome to let her be a stepping stone to deal with Xie Yuting?

So from this point of view, the eldest lady must have the idea of killing two birds with one stone, but this second eagle must be aimed at her, if she follows the bureau set up by the eldest lady today, then what will be waiting for her? She needs to think about this?

Qiu Yan saw that Xie Lingyun didn't speak, so she stopped and stood aside, not daring to make any sound, for fear of disturbing the young lady's thoughts.

"Qiu Yan, let you pay attention to the movements of Aunt Qi and Aunt Hui, did you find anything?" Xie Lingyun couldn't figure out what the eldest lady wanted, but one thing was certain, the eldest lady didn't have a good heart for her, so she couldn't be at the mercy of the eldest lady. Although she is now soft-spoken and can't fight back, she has to do it to prevent her, at least she can't be like now, she doesn't even know what the eldest lady wants to do with her.

Qiu Yan seemed to be about to return to this matter, so she reported the truth without pausing: "After the slave maid heard yesterday that the eldest lady and the two young ladies returned home, the two aunts asked the maids around them to go to the yard of the eldest lady and the two young ladies to inquire respectively. ”

"Then, what did the two aunts do?" Xie Lingyun gradually calmed down, and she had to judge the eldest lady's actions today through the reactions of the two aunts.

Qiu Yan didn't dare to hesitate, and told her about the things she heard one by one: "Aunt Hui, after the maid sent to Miss Five's side went back, she turned off the lights and rested, only Aunt Qi was a little abnormal, I heard that after going to Miss Four, she sent someone to inquire about the movement in the courtyard of the eldest lady, and then there was a sound of something breaking in the house, but what was broken and who broke it, the slave maid couldn't find out." He bowed his head guiltily.

Seeing her appearance, Xie Lingyun sighed in her heart, put things aside first, and comforted: "This is already very good, it's good that you can find out about this." ”

Qiu Yan's voice was still a little low: "Miss, don't comfort the slave maid, the slave maid is really useless, you can only find out these things that are not there." Last night, she also wanted to inquire about the affairs of the eldest lady's yard, but she did not gain anything.

Xie Lingyun smiled and said softly: "Who said it was useless, this news is very useful to me." ”

"Really?" Qiu Yan looked up, still a little incredulous.

What Xie Lingyun is most afraid of is that Qiu Yan has no confidence in herself, so she has no confidence in doing anything in the future, and she is tied. He patiently explained:

"Of course it's true, isn't your Miss and my words still false, I'll tell you in detail, you said that Aunt Hui turned off the lights and went to sleep after sending someone to the courtyard of Miss Five, so it can be seen that Miss Five and Mrs. went to Lingshan Temple very smoothly, and vice versa......" She stopped here and encouraged Qiu Yan to continue with her eyes.

Qiu Yan's eyes slowly widened, and she said: "On the contrary, there is a sound of breaking things in Aunt Qi's house, which means that something must have happened when the fourth young lady went to Lingshan Temple, miss, is what the slave said right?" His eyes sparkled and he looked at Xie Lingyun, like a primary school student waiting for the teacher's praise.

Xie Lingyun was amused by her appearance, nodded in agreement with her words, and said something encouraging to her: "You see how important the news you inquired about is to us, we can judge what is going on with the eldest lady through the reactions of the two aunts, so don't think that these are just small things, often an inconspicuous thing may change dramatically, this time you are doing really well, I hope to continue to work hard, hehe." ”

Although she had already guessed almost through the reaction of the eldest lady, if it was because of her affirmation and recognition that she could give Qiu Yan self-confidence, then she could pretend that it was through the news given by Qiu Yan that she knew about the fourth lady offending the eldest lady.

If Qiu Yan didn't disappoint her, although she was not completely confident, she was no longer the same as just now, and she took the initiative to express her opinion on this matter:

"Miss, if the fourth lady makes the eldest lady angry, in that case, the eldest lady asks you like this, and you can understand, but why does the eldest lady have to ask about last night's incident and come to find the fourth lady, in the past, if the eldest lady had any dissatisfaction with the young ladies, she could just find a reason to stand in the courtyard, or go to the Buddhist hall to copy scriptures?"

Xie Lingyun looked at her appreciatively, she was very happy that she could see this quickly, and said softly with a smile: "So, we don't know what the eldest lady is planning to do, so we can only analyze what is going on from the subtleties of the house." ”

Xie Lingyun's master and servant were talking about the eldest lady's abnormality this morning, and the eldest lady's house was also talking about this morning's events.

"Madam, the old slave will give you some soothing incense, and you can sleep for a while." Mama Zhang looked at the eldest lady she had taken care of since she was a child, and after venting hysterically as usual, she leaned on the pillow with a pale face. distressedly persuaded the eldest lady to rest for a while, and couldn't help but think of the scene after the eldest lady was full of longing to marry into Xie Mansion and become the eldest lord's concubine.

"Mama, have you seen the master, he ...... What does he look like? The woman in the wedding room wearing a phoenix crown and a red hijab was sent back to the cave room by the groom with a red face and a heartbeat, and waited for the groom to go out to toast the guests who watched the ceremony.

"Hehe, Miss, please rest assured, the old slave has seen the master, he is really good-looking, Si Swenwen, in addition to the young masters of our family, it is the first time for the old slave to see such a good-looking person, here I want to congratulate the young lady, married a good husband."

"Really, Mama didn't lie to me." The woman suddenly lifted her hijab in surprise and asked the grandmother beside her. The woman who lifted the red hijab was the eldest lady twenty years ago.

And the grandmother who replied was Mama Zhang, she saw that the young lady who was still like a child lifted the red hijab, she was shocked, and hurriedly helped to cover the red hijab again, and said:

"My good young lady, don't lift the hijab, this is unlucky, you have to wait until the master comes back to lift it for you."

"Mama, don't talk about it, don't people know it's wrong, hehe, didn't Mama really lie to me?"

Mama Zhang's eyes were full of doting and looked at the young lady who was about to become a wife, and repeatedly assured that the groom was good. Both the master and servant are full of longing for the future days, thinking that the future days will be smooth and harmonious.

But it often backfires, when the little maid carries the drunk groom into the new house, when the groom's lord calls out another woman's name in front of the eldest lady, when the eldest lady sees the woman in the lord's mouth, when the fairy-like woman enters the backyard of Xie Mansion and becomes Aunt Feng, everything has changed, and the eldest lady has become what she is now.

"Mama, have you listened to me again!" The eldest lady was very unhappy with Mama Zhang's stunned look, and asked with a frown.

Mama Zhang came back to her senses, the eldest lady in front of her overlapped with the young lady who was always smiling before, and she didn't know why her eyes were a little sour, and her heart was uncomfortable; Afraid that the eldest lady would find out about her abnormality, she quickly restrained her emotions and listened attentively to the eldest lady's instructions.

"Big lady, it's all to blame for the old slave who was distracted just now, I don't know what the big lady just said?"

The eldest lady seemed to be very dissatisfied with Mama Zhang's reply, her face was even more ugly, and she said in a cold voice:

"You pay attention to the few people in the east courtyard these days, especially the aunts, hmph, I don't believe they can turn the sky, and our yard has to be cleaned up again, give me a cane and thirty boards for all the things that eat inside and out, and then give me a cane." Then without waiting for Mama Zhang to answer, she gritted her teeth and scolded with a pale face:

"And I must let Qiaofeng show me that little hoof, dare to play tricks on me, hum, she is still a little tender, I can even clean up that slut, and I am afraid that she will not be able to jump out of my palm."

Seeing this, Mama Zhang joked with a smile: "That's right, the eldest lady knows why bother to be angry with the ignorant person, the angry body can't be separated, anyway, no matter how they are, everything in the future is not up to the eldest lady to have the final say." ”

The eldest lady seemed to listen to this sentence very well, and there was a smile on her face, "I also made that little mongrel angry, I thought that when I told her about the family affairs of the prince of the palace, the little mongrel would be jealous and tell me about the drugging, so that we can also use her to send the four girls to the temple, and let the little mongrel enter the palace for the disobedient four girls to be concubines for the prince, but she learned to be smart this time, and even pretended to be deaf and dumb for me, which really pissed me off." ”

When Mama Zhang heard this, she thought of Miss Nine's performance just now, and she also had a trace of doubt, "Mrs. Nine, the old slave really feels strange when she says this, this Miss Nine should know the reason for her illness yesterday, but how could she not tell the eldest lady about Miss Four, could it be that Miss Nine is ignorant and doesn't see that Miss Nine harbors evil intentions?" ”

"Hmph." The eldest lady was full of disbelief, and said disdainfully: "How can this not be seen, even if she doesn't see it, isn't there still Qiaofeng, I think she is just like that little slut, who is against me." ”

Mama Zhang saw that she was about to get angry again, so she quickly changed the topic and said: "Mrs. Eldest lady, Mrs. Aunt asked Miss Biao to send a letter mentioning that it is best not to marry the palace, and now our house will send the two young ladies and the prince to be concubines at once, is this appropriate?" ”
