Chapter 172: Intimidation
"Nervous?" Aunt Yue asked in surprise, "Why did the princess say this?" ”
Sizhen smiled faintly, but ignored her, only held the blue and white tang, and smiled at Sun Yanling: "Lord E, didn't you say that the culprit who caused me to fall asleep was a little eyebrow-raising?" I've found one person now, maybe it can help you a little, do you want to interrogate? ”
"Of course, Aunt Hua said that she was also bewitched, so she would do such a vicious thing, in order to confirm this, I have spent a lot of thought, who is the person the princess said?"
"It's the person next to Aunt Yue." Sizhen turned her head and looked at Aunt Yue and smiled faintly: "Well, speaking of which, this person is still the person you rely on." I remember, there is a person named Luoyu next to you, who is quite trusted by you, and she should know everything about you, right? Why don't you just call her over and ask? ”
Aunt Yue was stunned for a moment, tears suddenly appeared in her eyes, and her delicate and gentle pitiful appearance seemed to others to be a pretty beauty who was bullied by the evil master's mother.
She held back her tears and said aggrievedly: "If there is something wrong with the concubine, or if the princess is not used to the concubine, it is clear that it is, why bother to use such a way?" What does the princess mean by that? ”
Sizhen looked at her with a smile: "Don't say that I have wronged you, but tell me, where is the rain?" ”
As soon as Aunt Hua was caught, Aunt Yue sent Luoyu out of the house to contact the palace and cut the grass and root the Ma doctor, this matter is not done, and Luoyu will not come back, but she will naturally not admit such a thing, and she will say like a pear blossom with rain: "Hey, that girl is hard, the old mother in the family is sick and died, so I gave her some silver and asked her to go back to bury her mother, counting, she should come back in these two days." ”
Sun Yanling didn't speak, but looked at Aunt Yue with cold eyes, Aunt Yue's heart tightened, but she thought that Luoyu was only responsible for transmitting the secret words between her and the head of the palace, and she didn't know about it, so she forced her mind to look at Sun Yanling, but she was weak in the end, and finally lowered her head under Sun Yanling's fierce eyes.
Sun Yanling turned his head and said to Sizhen warmly: "Since you have found out, why don't you bring someone up and ask you face to face?" So that she can be convinced! ”
Sizhen clapped his hands.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were glued to the door.
After a while, I saw two mothers-in-law holding a woman wearing an azure winter jacket and skirt walking in with their heads bowed, bowing their heads respectfully and saying, "The slave respectfully invites the princess and the princess Jin'an!" ”
This voice is really familiar, Aunt Yue felt that the hairs all over her body were about to rise at first, and then, there was a chill pouring in, the cold, as if the cold winter Layue was wearing a single coat, and she encountered the wind and snow that came from her head and face.
In just a moment, cold sweat was already pouring out of her back.
It turned out to be raining, she thought Sizhen was trying to test her, but who knew it was really rain!
Although she knew that Luo Yu didn't know anything about her, Aunt Yue still felt worried, and she was alert to feel that the sudden appearance of Luo Yu who was out of the house to do business was by no means simple.
Sun Yanling narrowed her eyes: "You, is it the rain waiting for Aunt Yue?" ”
Luoyu raised his head, paused slightly when his eyes swept over Aunt Yue, and then, as if unintentionally, he looked at everyone's cheeks, followed, lowered his head, and replied respectfully without squinting: "Yes, the slave and maid Luoyu is the big maid who waits for Aunt Yue." ”
"What are you responsible for by Aunt Yue's side?" Aunt Mei covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked with a demure smile.
"In addition to waiting for the aunt closely, the slave maid is also in charge of the aunt's needlework because the embroidery is good." Luoyu replied honestly.
Sizhen glanced at Aunt Yue and asked Luoyu: "I heard Aunt Yue say that you left the house because your mother died of illness, and you went back to help the family handle the burial matters?" ”
Luo Yu glanced up at Aunt Yue and whispered "um".
"Then tell me, where is your home? Who else is in the family? I asked people to take the Dian Yi to take a look, so as not to let people say that our house is unkind, and there is an accident in the family of the slaves, and there is no one to greet them.
"Princess-" Aunt Yue suppressed the uneasy feeling in her heart, slowly got up, bowed down, and said calmly: "Princess, you were sick a few days ago, and the princess was worried day and night, so this kind ......of thing did not bother the concubine in the house, the concubine let the rain go back at that time, gave her some silver, and asked her not to rush back, which can be regarded as the compassion of our house."
"That's pretty strange." Aunt Mei covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Although Luoyu is your eldest maid, she is a person in this mansion, she is going out of the house for so long, even if it is inconvenient for you to tell the eldest young grandmother, you should give the eldest and young grandmother a squeak, I remember, these days, the eldest and youngest grandmother let the eldest young grandmother and you worry about the affairs of the house?" If it hadn't come back from the rain this day, we would have thought she had been abducted and disappeared! ”
Aunt Yue smiled slightly: "How did Aunt Mei know that I didn't tell the eldest young grandmother?" After all, although it is in line with the rain and returning home for so many days, it is not in accordance with the rules, so I didn't make a big fanfare, is this also wrong? ”
Before she finished speaking, before Aunt Mei could speak again, she said again: "Or did you make people watch my yard day and night, so you think I didn't tell Grandma?" ”
Aunt Mei was speechless for a while, and looked at the Jin family.
Jin nodded, and said to Sizhen and Sun Yanling: "Indeed, Aunt Yue didn't hide this matter, but there were many things in those days, so I didn't take this matter to heart." ”
Seeing Aunt Mei's expression, Aunt Yue pouted and smiled: "Doesn't Aunt Mei know that the princess has been recuperating recently?" It's just a little maid who goes out of the house to do some things, can I make a fuss to everyone? ”
She smiled coldly and said, "Or does my sister think that if there is no one waiting by my side, she will panic and be in a hurry?" ”
"Okay, let's not say a word." Sizhen looked at the soup cup in his hand for a while, and said slowly: "Originally, this matter is nothing, but someone happened to see the rain coming out of the palace, I really want to know, what reason does a person who goes home to do a funeral have to go to the palace?" ”
Seeing this, Luoyu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Princess, Lord, the slave and maid did not mean to conceal it, because it is rare to go out once on weekdays, and the slave and maid want to meet the sisters who were good friends in the palace, and on the day the slave and maid left the house, it happened that the people in the palace said that the concubine wanted to reward the county lord with two pieces of clothing, so the slave and maid went over to get it." ”
She looked at Sizhen timidly and said, "The two pieces of clothing taken by the slave maid are still in the hands of Sister Bailing, if the princess doesn't believe it, just ask." ”
Sun Yanling couldn't help sneering when she heard this: "Listening to you, it's really a coincidence, but it seems that the princess is suspicious of you?" Until now, your master and servant can still deny it, come to someone, pass Aunt Hua up, and let them confront them face to face. ”
Seeing Aunt Hua coming up, everyone was surprised.
In the past, she was a beauty, but now she is like a piece of paper, as if she was going to be blown by the wind, and her two hands are even more swollen like turnips, obviously she has been tortured, but I am afraid that the forehead master let people pinch her fingers, and her ten fingers can't stand it, so she confessed.
The lord is really ruthless.
As soon as Aunt Hua heard Sun Yanling tell her to tell the truth, she shuddered, and poured beans from the bamboo tube and said that Aunt Yue hinted at her, and how she introduced Doctor Ma to her acquaintance.
Aunt Yue was not surprised, turned her head sideways, smiled faintly at the falling rain, and said softly: "You are waiting in front of me, how about me and Aunt Hua, you know best, so let's do it, you can tell the princess and the princess directly, what is going on." ”
Luoyu knelt on the ground to help distinguish and said: "Princess, Forehead Master Mingjian, Aunt Yue heard that Aunt Hua is a fellow villager with her, and I heard that she has asthma, so I helped introduce Doctor Ma, who used to be in the palace hospital, and in some diseases, the young doctor is not as good as her, our aunt just sees that her medical skills are good, where do you know that she will harm people with Aunt Hua?" Don't listen to her nonsense and wronged our aunt. ”
Aunt Hua's face showed a fierce look: "Nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that you and the eldest and youngest grandmothers often gossip in front of me, saying how ruthless the princess is and doesn't heal me, how could I have such thoughts?" If she hadn't been instructed by you, how could she have given me such a thing? If the matter is revealed, you just want me to stand up to it alone, no way. ”
Before Aunt Yue could speak, the Jin family had already stood up and smacked Aunt Hua, pulled her hair, and said hatefully: "You slut, don't say anything about hurting the princess, but also divide the affection between our concubines, saying, who instructed you to do this?" You want to watch the Sun family fall, don't you? In vain, I treat you well on weekdays, but I didn't see that you are so bad-hearted. ”
Aunt Hua cried and shouted to resist, and the two actually fought in the hall.
Sizhen said coldly: "Okay, except for the rain, you all retreat to the side first." I haven't even asked questions, but you guys are fighting, what kind of system is it? ”
She saw the rain falling, and said to the magpie, "Bring me my horsewhip, I see that there are people who do not cry when they do not see the coffin." ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Sizhen was going to do.
Aunt Yue said loudly: "Princess, the concubine has heard of many things that are tortured, is it possible, do you want to do something like that?" ”
Sizhen didn't answer, took the horsewhip in his hand, looked at the rain and said: "If you don't tell the truth, if I find out, your life will be like this...... Such...... Such. ”
As she spoke, the horsewhip in her hand rolled lightly, and she took off a white flower on the head of the falling rain, and the earrings on both sides were removed, but it did not hurt the falling rain at all.
The little white flower and earrings fell under the whip of Sizhen, and in the blink of an eye, they became a pile of debris.
In the dancing of the whip shadow, the rain was already paralyzed as mud with fright.
"Falling rain, if you don't want to suffer from flesh and skin, tell the matter 1510." Sizhen's finger knuckles knocked twice on the table, and said softly: "As long as you are willing to tell the truth, I will spare you from death." Don't be lucky, what things did you do when you went out of the house, you can find out as soon as you check it, so you'd better be honest, don't talk about what is useful or useless, lest I and Lord Edon listen to it. ”
