Chapter Twenty-Three: There Are Thieves
"This girl, proper is her strength, but today, somehow, she lost it." Song Zhi was holding Song Yan weakly, and kept complaining.
Song Yan endured the pain, but she had to comfort Song Zhi in turn, "It's okay." I think it's probably because Cuihuan didn't catch it steadily, and my sister shouldn't blame her too much. β
Cuihuan just wanted to say a few words, but just now there was a chaos, and she didn't think clearly whether she slipped her hand or not, so she didn't dare to say this.
"A few days ago, Miss's body was fine, this dress is wet, what if I catch a cold again." Cuihuan was afraid that Song Yan would settle accounts after the autumn, and said earnestly on the side.
"But there's still a long way to go in the inner courtyard." Song Zhi thought for a moment, and then pointed to a side pavilion on the edge of the main hall, "Sister, then change your clothes here." β
Although the wet clothes were very uncomfortable on her body, Song Yan felt that something was wrong for some reason, so she hesitated for a moment.
Mingzhu stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, only to see that this side pavilion is very elegant, the edging plum branch pattern is soft, the red lacquer is painted with gold pattern begonia incense table, and there is a mahogany elephant pattern warped head case, and the case is also lit with a light and good smell of incense, which seems to be specially prepared for drunk guests.
Song Yan nodded and walked in. Subsequently, Lin Tianqing asked her personal maid Fu'an to send her dress.
Song Yan looked at the dress, hesitated for a moment, and said, "How embarrassing is this." "She didn't want to wear the clothes of a long-sick person.
Song Zhi seemed to see through her thoughts, touched the dress, the peony flower embroidery on it felt hard, as if it had never been washed, and said: "Cousin is so polite, this is still a new dress!" β
Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Mingzhu to serve her to change out of her wet clothes.
"Ah, my sister's legs are red too!" Song Zhi pointed to a burn on Song Yan's leg, "This requires medicine to put on clothes, why hasn't this girl taken the ointment yet?" I'll see! After Song Zhi finished speaking, he pushed the door and went out.
Song Yan was wearing a thin shirt with only a red belly pocket inside, and a thin strap tied a knot at the back of her neck.
She has recently lost some weight, and her belly pocket looks empty on her, and she is inevitably in danger of spring.
There is also a wound on this leg, so it is difficult to wear pants anymore. Song Yan was still a little uncomfortable, but Song Zhi went out, and now she breathed a sigh of relief.
Mingzhu and Cuihuan hunched over, blowing left and right on her hands, making the red and swollen parts of her hands slightly more comfortable. Cuihuan made a mistake, thinking about atonement for his sins, and worked very hard, but he accidentally sprayed the spittle star on Song Yan's hand.
This can make Song Yan disgusting! She was already angry with Cuihuan in her heart, and this idea spitted on her hand, but before Cuihuan realized it, she asked Song Yan to kick it out.
Although this foot was not heavy, it happened to be on Cuihuan's heart, and her heart hurt, her whole body was numb, and her head was also groggy.
With this action, Song Yan's thin shirt also fell to the ground, watching Cuihuan fall to the ground holding her heart. Song Yan made a color towards Mingzhu, and Mingzhu hurried to check the situation of Cuihuan.
Song Yan was annoyed, Cuihuan was drowsy, Mingzhu was frightened, and the room was quiet for a while.
At this moment, the door of the side pavilion was pushed open, Song Yan thought that Song Zhi had taken the medicine and came back, but found that it was a man in cloth who pushed the door open!
Song Yan couldn't help but scream hurriedly, and then swallowed her voice again. But Mingzhu, a fool, screamed: "There are thieves! There are thieves! Come on! Guys! β
The man looked shocked and fled.
Song Yan put on her clothes and slapped Mingzhu twice, "Shut up, how many people do you want to call." Serve me and get dressed! β
This man is Rui Xi. He quietly slipped into the main hall and asked a little guy in the shadows, but the little guy said that the "Autumn Garden Ammonite Map" had already been appreciated.
Rui Xi was very disappointed, and just wanted to leave, but heard two maidservants muttering in the corner, saying that the "Autumn Garden Ammonite" was stored in the side pavilion of the main hall.
Rui Xi was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly went forward, but she didn't expect that as soon as she pushed the door open, she saw a shameless woman inside, who was only wearing a belly pocket!
Rui Xi hurriedly left, and saw that the person who looked like a family member had already run over with a stick, "I'm not! I'm not! Ruixi hurriedly argued, but was still pressed against her back with a stick and knelt on the ground.
Everyone heard the news, "Ruixi? Lin Tianlang let out a voice in disbelief.
"Aren't you a student of the Lin Mansion? Now that you've got the key, why are you here? Song Zhi asked suspiciously, followed by Meteor and Moon, carrying ointment and ice cubes respectively. Are you the thief? β
"I'm not! I'm not! Rui Xi said busily.
"How not! When we heard someone shouting 'thief', we immediately came over. We've seen you alone with so many pairs of eyes, isn't it possible that we're all blind? The leader of the family put a stick against Rui Xi's head and said indignantly.
"Who shouted the thief?" Song Ling asked.
"It seems to be a girl in this side of the house." The housekeeper pointed to the closed door.
As soon as the words fell, Song Zhi quickly stepped forward and slapped Rui Xi fiercely, 'Bang'! This crisp sound made everyone present stunned.
Song Zhi didn't explain anything, but whispered through the door of the side pavilion, "Zhi'er is coming in." Then he pushed open the door of the side pavilion, and after the last one entered the month, he carefully closed the door, and everyone never saw what was going on inside.
Everyone present couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, "What's the matter?" Xiao Chen, Lin and other female relatives hurriedly arrived and asked.
Lin Tianqing whispered a few words to her, and Xiao Chen's face turned pale at once, and he told Lin what had just happened. Lin was at a loss, and he ran out of ideas, not knowing what to do.
"Lang'er, take this person to your father and let him decide." Xiao Chen said, waved his handkerchief again, and pretended to be relaxed: "Let's go back to eat the banquet, a little thing, don't spoil everyone's interest." β
Rui Xi is like a pile of paste in her head now, Song Zhi's slap blinded everyone else, he didn't resent Song Zhi, she was breathing a sigh for her sister, there was nothing wrong with this.
The stick in his hand was still poking straight at the back of his head, and Rui Xi thought fiercely, "But why are these people standing here looking at my jokes!" What qualifications do they have for this? It's just a bit of luck! What the hell am I doing wrong! provoke them to ridicule like this! I just want to see the painting! Why did it fall into such a situation! β
"Bring him here." Lin Tianlang said coldly, without even glancing at Rui Xi, he turned around.
Now that the thieves have been caught and taken away, everyone has gradually dispersed. Zhang Huilan also stretched her neck, wanting to get a glimpse of the scene in the side pavilion from the small window on the side.
"What are you doing here?" Although Zhang Xinlan lowered her voice, her tone was not polite at all. She couldn't figure it out! Why did my mother bring this sister out by herself! This kind of small family's style really can't be put on the table!
Zhang Huilan was used to being reprimanded by Zhang Xinlan, and her cheeks were much thicker, and after a while, she came over and said: "Sister, you said that the three sisters of the Song family are very good at looking at their feelings." β
"Hmph, you're going to say look? I don't know what's going on in my bones! Zhang Xinlan sneered lightly and went to find Xu. She was very annoyed, how could Song Yan be so good at causing trouble, and now she was doing that kind of pickled thing in the Queen Mother's Palace, and now she was being ...... in the Lin Mansion
Although I am not sure whether she was caught by that student, but the words are terrifying, this oil and vinegar is passed on to the hundreds, I don't know what it will become!
Ay! She is going to marry Song Jian in the future, but such a sister-in-law really can't do it!
Zhang Xinlan only felt a headache.
β¦β¦
"Shh As soon as Song Zhicai entered the door, he gestured to Song Yan.
"Sister, don't make a sound, the people outside don't know that the person inside is you." She said in a very soft voice, "Are you scared? β
Song Yan hurriedly covered her mouth, there were too many things that happened at this time, she was frightened many times in a row, and now she is still at a loss, and her whole body is still stiff.
Song Yan couldn't bend her knees when she walked, her heart was still beating wildly, and she asked in a fog: "The thief was caught?" β
"Well, it's a student of the Lin Mansion." Song Zhi looked at Cuihuan, only to see that her face was sallow, cold sweat was dripping, and she said strangely: "Why is Cuihuan scared like this?" Sister, you've been spied on......
"Nope!" When he pushed the door in, I was already dressed, but the two maids were frightened, so they shouted and attracted people. I think that student also went to the wrong room, sister, you go and explain, don't let people misunderstand. β
"This sister doesn't have to worry, if my uncle wants to deal with someone, he will ask carefully before and after, and he won't be wronged." Every time Song Zhi said one more word, Song Yan's face became ugly, "Besides, this person is still in the Lin Mansion after Yinshi, and he must be tired, even if he is not intended to peep, there must be other ulterior secrets!" β
"That's right, we need to find out." Song Yan casually responded to Song Zhi, and her heart was like a mess.
"Sister, let's take medicine first, and then let's go out quickly, so as not to make people think about something and nothing." Song Zhi said.
Song Yan was awakened by these words, "Yes, yes, take medicine quickly." Cuihuan and Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward to help Song Yan apply the medicine.
"Sister, then I'll go out first to block those broken mouths." The silk handkerchief on Song Zhi's fingertips hung down leisurely, as if it was shaking slightly.
After saying that, Shi Shiran walked out of the door, and happened to meet Lin Shi coming over.
"Childish! What the hell is going on with your sister! Is it a big deal? Song Zhi looked at the anxious look on Lin's face, and sighed secretly in his heart, his mother-in-law was really naΓ―ve.
