Chapter 85: Calculation (II)

Houfuhou's 'flower' garden is relatively open except for the area around Mirror Lake. The rest of the place is shaded by trees, quiet and 'shady'. Lush trees shade the sky and the sun, keeping the heat cool during the day and the moonlight at night. Especially around Qianli Pavilion, there is almost no moonlight, and there are many shadows of trees everywhere, and almost no one will go there at night.

So Hongxing said that Mrs. fell here, and Yingxue didn't doubt it at all, because it was too dark here, and it was very common to fall.

She walked along the cobblestone path, regretting that she hadn't come out with a lantern. Gradually approaching the Qianli Pavilion, I saw a vague figure near the Qianli Pavilion. Yingxue thought it was Jiang Ruonan, so she hurriedly rushed up, grabbed the man, and called out "Madam!" ”

When she got closer, she found that something was wrong, the other party seemed to be taller, Ying Xue was vigilant, and quickly let go of her hand and took a step back, "Who?" ”

A more familiar male voice came from the dark: "Red apricot girl." Is that you? ”

After Yingxue carefully identified it, she was taken aback, "Steward Zhang, but you?" ”

The other party also recognized her voice: "Yingxue girl? Then he said, "Why did the Snow Girl come here?" ”

"I heard that Madame fell here...... Can the steward see my wife? ”

"No, I've been here for a while, and no one here is here except the girl!"

A sense of uneasiness rose in Yingxue's heart, and she felt that something was wrong, "Why is the steward here so late?" ”

In the dark, Yingxue heard him smile embarrassedly: "I...... I have an appointment with people......"

Ying Xue remembered that he had called the name of the red apricot before, and her heart jumped suddenly, "But the red apricot?" ”

"Yes...... Red Apricot Girl......"

Hearing this name, Yingxue's cold sweat broke out, "Not good!" She immediately turned back,

But it was too late

"What are you doing?" A shrill cry was particularly abrupt in the silence of the night, and the nearby birds were frightened, flapping their wings and screaming.

Yingxue stood still, but saw three people standing at the intersection not far away, a hand-held lantern in the middle, and the faint firelight reflected her angry face, but it was a red apricot!

"Yingxue, Steward Zhang, it's so late, it's black, what are you doing here!" The voice was very cold.

The two little maids next to them looked at Ying Xue, and then at Steward Zhang, who was gradually walking to the bright place, and they all 'revealed' a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Hongxing didn't wait for Yingxue to answer. He threw the lantern in his hand to the ground and cried: "You two 'adulterous' husbands and 'women', you are worthy of me!" I told Madame to go! After saying that, he covered his face and ran back.

The two little maids looked at Yingxue, and they all turned around and chased after the red apricot.

***

Originally, this matter belonged to the Qiu Tang Courtyard, and Jiang Ruonan could handle it. But when Hongxing ran back crying, she met Yu Qiuyue, Jin Yanran and Wang who were walking together on the way. Seeing this, the three of them stopped the two little maids who followed behind and asked about the situation. The two maids didn't dare to hide it, and told everything they had seen before.

Jin Yanran said angrily when she heard this: "Our Marquis Anyuan Mansion actually has such a dirty thing, this matter can't just be left alone." "Now go back to the rosin courtyard and report this matter to Mrs. Mingtai.

Mrs. Tai was also very angry, and immediately ordered someone to lock up Hongxing, Yingxue, and Zhang Wenshan. Early the next morning, a strict investigation of the matter began.

Jiang Ruonan, Jin Yanran, Yu Qiuyue, Wang, and related people were all present. Mrs. Tai sat on the main seat, and kneeling below were Hong Xing, Yingxue, Zhang Wenshan and two little maids.

Hongxing told the whole thing with a handful of snot and tears, "Mrs. Tai, I am waiting to get married in peace." I thought I had found a good gentleman, but who would have thought that they would hide it from me...... I don't know how long they've been in this relationship, if I hadn't happened to bump into each other today, I don't know how much trouble would have happened, Mrs., Mrs., you have to be the master for me! As he spoke, he kowtowed again and again, and there was a bang, and his forehead was bleeding.

Then the two little maids also told them what they had seen.

Mrs. Tai's face is dark, and the lonely man and widow 'woman' have a 'private' meeting in that secluded environment, no matter how you look at it, it will not make people feel above board.

Mother Zhang next to her was so anxious that her eyes were red, and she knelt beside Mrs. Tai and said, "Mrs. Tai, Wenshan grew up under your watch, Wenshan is definitely not this kind of person!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at his son: "Wenshan, what the hell is going on, you are talking!" ”

Mrs. Tai looked at him, remembering that he had always been loyal, her face softened slightly, and said, "Wenshan, what do you explain?" ”

Zhang Wenshan kowtowed to Mrs. Tai, and then told the boy about the news, and took out the blue 'colored' sachet.

Seeing that sachet, Yingxue and the two little maids were stunned, because everyone recognized that this was Yingxue's sachet!

"I thought it was the red apricot girl who asked the slave, but I didn't expect it to be the Yingxue girl, but at that time. Miss Yingxue said that she came to her wife's house! ”

When Hongxing saw the sachet, she cried even louder, and said to Mrs. Tai: "Mrs. Tai, this is Yingxue's sachet!" Then he turned to Yingxue and said angrily: "Yingxue, I have always regarded you as a sister, why do you do this, if you like Steward Zhang, you can tell me directly, why do you do such an unseemly thing!" ”

After Yingxue saw the sachet, she hurriedly distinguished: "Mrs. Tai Mingjian, this sachet was lost by me before!" As he spoke, he looked at Hongxing: "Maybe it was picked up by someone with a heart and did something to blame me!" As she spoke, she told her that Hongxing had lied to her that her wife had fallen.

Hongxing was already ready, she pointed at Yingxue and retorted: "Yingxue, so far, are you still unrepentant?" To tell such a lie. I've been with Xiaoqing Xiaohuan at night, and I've never seen you at all, Xiaoqing Xiaohuan can testify! ”

Xiaoqing Xiaohuan hurriedly testified that Hongxing was indeed with them, but they ignored Hongxing's convenience of leaving halfway.

Yingxue thought that Hongxing had bought Xiaoqing Xiaohuan, and her face turned pale with anger, but if there was anyone else around at that time, no one could testify for her!

"Yingxue. Do you dare to confront the messenger boy? Jiang Ruonan proposed.

Ying Xue hurriedly said: "The maid is sitting upright, there is nothing to dare to." ”

Mrs. Tai called for the boy to be summoned and asked him who had asked him to pass the message. The boy looked at the kneeling people in the field, and he did not see the appearance of the man in the dark that night, but remembered that the man was wearing a double bun, and a beautiful ribbon hung from the bun.

Only one person in the house was dressed like this.

The boy pointed at Yingxue and said, "It's that sister!" ”

Yingxue panicked at this moment, and then realized that the other party's calculation was seamless, like a sand pit, engulfing her inch by inch.

She rushed to the boy. Shaking the boy's shoulder, he said, "You can see clearly, who is it, whether someone taught you!" ”

The boy was frightened by her appearance and cried out with a "wow".

Mrs. Tai was furious and shouted: "What a slave, at this point, you still dare to quibble!" This kid is an idiot, but he can't lie! "It turns out that this child has had a high fever at the age of five, and his intelligence has not grown, and if he is lying, how can Mrs. Tai believe it!

Yingxue was speechless, knelt down in front of Jiang Ruonan in a hurry, hugged her 'legs' and said: "Madam, you believe the slave maid, what the slave said is true!" The slave and maid absolutely did not ask Zhang to come out! ”

Hongxing cried on the side: "Yingxue, it's up to now, why do you still bite me back, I don't blame you, if you had told me earlier that you like Steward Zhang, I would definitely not agree to this 'door' affair." Then he also crawled to Jiang Ruonan's side and cried: "Miss, we grew up together, although Hongxing is willful, she has no bad intentions, how could Hongxing do such a false accusation, if Miss doesn't believe it, Hongxing is willing to die to show her innocence!" As he spoke, he slammed into the corner of the table next to Jiang Ruonan, if Jiang Ruonan's hand hadn't pushed her away, this collision might have killed her.

In this way, no one doubts Hongxing, and even Jiang Ruonan can't tell who is real and who is fake. The marriage was agreed to by Hong Xing, and she personally caught the scene of the two, and there were witnesses, to say that she had this kind of scheming to harm Yingxue, Jiang Ruonan really couldn't believe it. It looks like Yingxue did it. But according to her understanding of Yingxue for more than a month, she feels that Yingxue is not like a person who can do this kind of thing, but doesn't it often say that love will make people lose their minds? Could it be that Yingxue has always liked Steward Zhang, and saw that Hongxing was given to Steward Zhang, so she was in a hurry?

She looked at Steward Zhang and saw that he was white and clean, with a simple appearance, as if he could attract 'women'.

In fact, in her opinion, this is not a big deal, but a 'woman' is anxious to make an appointment with the man she likes, and she hasn't done anything wrong, what's the big deal? But she also knows that this kind of thing is not allowed in this era, especially if it is a slave without human rights! That's why Yingxue didn't dare to admit it?

Hongxing got up from the ground, knelt down in front of Mrs. Tai and said: "Mrs. Tai, the slave and maid feel the kindness of Mrs. Tai, but the matter has come to this point, and the slave and maid have no face to marry Steward Zhang, since Yingxue likes Steward Zhang, please also ask Mrs. Tai to fulfill her heart!" ”

Mrs. Tai looked at Yingxue and said sharply: "Yingxue, you see that Hongxing has done it so far, are you still unrepentant?" ”

Yingxue saw that the matter had come to this point, if she continued to deny it, she was afraid that she would anger Mrs. Tai and move the family law, and maybe she would sell herself in anger! I only blame myself for being too careless for this matter, and I fell in love with Hongxing's way, and now there is no other way than to endure humiliation and steal life!

At that moment, Yingxue knelt on the ground, buried her head low, and said, "Mrs. Tai...... Yes, the slave knew that it was wrong, and it was the slave who asked Steward Zhang out! ”

Except for Jiang Ruonan, the rest of the people looked at her with disdain, Yingxue was ashamed and angry, and tears flowed.

Mrs. Tai was annoyed that she was 'private' with men in the mansion and ruined the reputation of the Hou Mansion, so she wanted to sell her, but Jiang Ruonan interceded for her, and then Mrs. Tai changed her mind when she saw her face, and only punished her with twenty boards, but lowered her rank, and Mrs. Tai saw that Hongxing was very atmospheric in this matter, and saw that she had been Ruolan's big maid before, so she brought her up again.

And the marriage between Hongxing and Zhang Wenshan will not be over.

Later, when Mrs. Zhang was in a good mood, Mrs. Zhang asked for Yingxue, and Mrs. Mrs. agreed. Not long after, Yingxue married Zhang Wenshan and became the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, but she still served in Qiutang Courtyard, but she couldn't serve Jiang Ruonan as closely as before.

But Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, and after a long time, when Hongxing saw Yingxue become the majestic daughter-in-law of the head of the Hou Mansion, I don't know how much she regretted her original decision.
