Chapter 41: Grievances
"Mei'er, why is it so lively outside?" Not far from the rape team, a soft sedan chair came from a soft sedan chair, and the curiosity in the words could not be concealed.
"Fourth Miss Hui, I heard that a woman's child was killed by a concubine whose husband had not yet entered the door, and now she is about to go to the yamen to sue the official." Mei'er replied, I really want to follow to the yamen to see the excitement.
"Really? It's pathetic. How did the concubine kill that child? There was a faint sigh from the sedan chair, and his tone was full of compassion.
"The slave maid also heard about it, it seems that the poisonous woman first tried to force the main room to go down to the court, and after ruining the appearance of the main room, she poisoned her son who was a few months old." It's really the most poisonous woman's heart.
The veiled woman who walked at the front was the disfigured woman, right? The maidservant girl next to her must be holding the baby's corpse... It's pitiful that you don't want to let go even if you're dead.
"yes, that's pathetic." The girl in the sedan chair hesitated for a moment, slowly lifted half of the curtain, and looked out with half-squinted eyes in the sun.
The woman in front of her with half of her face covered... Her eyes...
"Huh? Fourth Miss? What eyes? Mei'er thought that the master had something to say, so she turned to the side and asked closer.
"Ah, nothing." Just looking at it from a distance, she was a little distracted, and she said everything in her heart... Those eyes were so beautiful, she thought that the boy she met last time had the best blue eyes in the world. "Mei'er, let's go back."
"Yes, Miss Four." Meier helped her put the curtain in place and answered.
...
In the wing room on the second floor of the Fuyuan Tea House. The white-clothed man standing by the window listened to the reply of his subordinates, looked at the clear sky outside through the window lattice, and smiled faintly. He picked up the flask in one hand and took a few sips from the spout. Suddenly he stopped thinking about it, and said a few words to the person around him, and the man nodded and took the order.
The group came to the county government and beat drums at the gate of the county government to voice grievances. Soon, a government official came out and told the county lord that he was not here today, and it was even more coincidental that not only the county magistrate, but also the county lord and the main book were not there... Chi Jing was a little disappointed in his heart, and thought that today he could see the drinking hall and the stunned wood that can only be seen on TV...
The official was also disappointed in his heart... In fact, he is also very concerned about this case... But the county master went to a neighboring county for a banquet, and the county man rested today. I thought it was nothing serious, and I could rely on the main bookkeeper to control the government alone, but I didn't know that just an hour ago, the main bookkeeper was inexplicably smashed by a brick flying from nowhere, and now I'm afraid the bleeding hasn't stopped... It seems that the master can only record it first and then accept it tomorrow.
The county government has never had a situation where the county order and the county master book are not there all year round, so Chi Jing has encountered it. Just when everyone didn't know what to do, an ordinary-looking little guy came, whispered a few words in the ear of the servant, and then took out a token. When the official saw the token, his attitude became extremely respectful.
"There is an order from above, ordering that the man and woman in the back should be temporarily taken into custody, and as for this lady, after leaving your lodgings, you can leave with the child for the time being, and tomorrow she will be arraigned. The other idlers dispersed at a rapid pace. ”
...
Is there an order from above? Where did it come from? Her partner Yongle Hou Dongfang Le set off early this morning to return to the capital, and Wan Sheng, as the son of the county commander, has no rights, so who else can be in charge of this solid city?
Then again, what day is it, and why aren't all the people who should be there? One or two as if they were hiding from some cow ghost or snake god...
In any case, at least the two men were taken into custody to prevent them from finding a chance to escape. Chi Jing turned around and thanked Mrs. Wu and the others first, and agreed to testify in court tomorrow. But if she wants to leave with the child... Chi Jing's eyes met again with the eyes in the jade bottle's arms.
"Whoa-" The loud baby cry sounded again, and the rumors of being poisoned were self-defeating. Chi Jing sighed, she couldn't figure out whether this baby was hungry now, or she was scared because she saw her, so let's go home for the time being.
"The dandruff is gone, and the hair is more outstanding. You deserve it. Chi Jing had just finished bathing, her hair exuding the natural and unique scent of the fruit, and she touched the silky green silk and sighed with satisfaction. She tried to put the grate on her head, expecting the grate to slide down her hair... Well, sure enough, the advertisements are all deceptive. Jade Bottle walked in, took her grate and began to help her comb it carefully. Chi Jing asked with his eyes: What about the child?
"Girl, the hired nurse has just finished feeding the child, and the child has already fallen asleep." When the jade bottle talked about this child, his face was full of tenderness, and the whole person exuded a soft maternal light.
Chi Jing smiled and said, "The jade bottle should also be the age of being a mother." ”
The face of the jade bottle darkened, and there was no more soft color.
Gray Shadow! Chi Jing also thought of this person at the same time, and his face sank. In the daytime, he was disturbed by this child, and he forgot about the gray shadow! However, if the monk can't run the temple, at most let him have another night..."What about Yimo? Chi Jing opened the topic in time.
"Yimo practiced martial arts with Nie Gongzi for a day today, and after eating some casual food, he went to bed early." Jade Bottle Road. Nie Gongzi left from the beginning of the hour to the end of the unitary hour every day, rain or shine, and tried his best to teach Lan Yimo. Even she hadn't eaten with Lan Yimo for a long time, even if it was in the same courtyard, she was just in a hurry to say hello when she met. It's only been a few days, and it feels a little strange...
Chi Jing bowed his head in satisfaction. Looking out the window, it was still early in the morning, I couldn't read a book, and it was not yet time to eat supper. The world of the ancients is so boring...
"I'll go see the boy while he's asleep." The child was a rare and beautiful man, and now that he was asleep, she could get close to him and admire him. Chi Jing made up his mind and walked to the ear room.
The jade bottle covered her mouth and snickered and followed.
...
It turns out that she is still too naïve.
Looking at the child's peerless delicacy at the bedside, she couldn't help it—no one could resist such a temptation. She reached out and stroked his hair tenderly.
"Wow-"
Chi Jing's hands stiffened.
The jade bottle smiled and picked him up, caressed his back, and began to gently hum the familiar nursery rhyme. The child slowly fell asleep again to the murmuring of the jade bottle.
Could it be that the wound on his face scared him? It's not right, she is wearing a veil on the street today, and he is crying. Chi glanced at the crying child, muttered a white-eyed wolf, and decided to hide far away and go to the study to read.
About an hour later, when Chi Jing was waiting for the end of the supper, a sharp knock on the door of the jade bottle suddenly sounded in the study: "Girl, the child is infected with the wind cold and burns badly!" ”
"Doctor!" Chi Jing closed the book.
