Chapter 257: The Great Law of Killing Turtles
Mama Zhuang looked at Sanniang a little stunned, her etiquette has always been perfect, and it was the first time she had such a gaffe.
Sanniang looked back at her calmly.
Mama Zhuang finally reacted, what the third lady said was not a joke, and Mama Zhuang couldn't help but feel ecstatic in her heart. Although the money she earned as a parenting mother could barely afford her son's medicine, she couldn't take care of her son.
If she can live with her son in the future, then she ......
Also, the third lady said that she could think of ways to let Kuan'er get better treatment in the future......
"Slave...... The slave and maid are willing to ......" Mama Zhuang tried to calm herself down, stood up, knelt on the ground respectfully, and bowed to Sanniang.
Sanniang couldn't help but smile on her face, but she didn't stop Mama Zhuang from saluting, but after she finished the salute, she also got up and personally helped Mama Zhuang get up.
"It's just that I have to grieve Mama Zhuang now, and it is temporarily inconvenient to take your son over when I am in the Wang family, so wait a few more months." Sanniang's wait for a few more months is naturally after her wedding.
Mama Xue is a person who understands, but she doesn't understand there, but it's a little strange that the third lady didn't feel shy at all when she talked about her marriage: "The slave and maid are saved, they have been like this for so many years, and they are not bad in these months." ”
Sanniang nodded: "Your son's medication, I will let Bai Ying talk to you after I arrange it." ”
Mama Zhuang wanted to say that she would talk about it after the third lady got married, but Sanniang interrupted with a smile: "Mama Zhuang is thinking about Sanniang, and Sanniang naturally wants you to have no worries." Needless to say. So be it. ”
Mama Zhuang was naturally grateful.
Sending Mama Zhuang out, Sanniang turned around and sat down on the couch.
"Last time, I asked my brother to go to the Hanging Pot Medical Center to ask about the medicine, and the shopkeeper said that he could get the medicine?" Sanniang slowly leaned back on the pillow.
Bai Ying hurriedly replied, "Yes, Miss." The shopkeeper said that the reason why the medicinal herbs that Mama Xue asked for were so expensive was because the usual prescriptions were used less. Medicinal materials are not easy to obtain, so there are few stocks in various pharmacies. However, he said that he had a way to get the herbs for us, and the price was much cheaper. According to Mama Xue's son's medication. That's less than forty taels of silver a year. ”
Sanniang raised her eyebrows when she heard this, the price difference is so big? When did selling medicinal herbs become a lucrative business?
After receiving Xuan Shao's letter, she did not act rashly. Instead, I went to secretly arrange it first. Don't have porcelain without diamonds. Naturally, she had to determine whether Mama Zhuang was bought by her before acting.
As she said just now, if you want people to die to help you, you have to let people have no worries first.
"From this month onwards, the shopkeeper will send medicinal materials over every month, and you will go and explain this matter to Mama Zhuang later." Sanniang slowly closed her eyes.
"Yes, the slave knows." After Bai Ying answered, she hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Miss." Aunt Cui's side...... Don't we care? I don't know what she will do in front of Madame. ”
Sanniang tugged at the corners of her mouth: "One has no identity, no backstage, and no connections." And the disgraced aunt who has no son, if this is the case, I can bring her down. I don't have to think about continuing to survive in the backyard, so I just twisted my hair and went to be a sister-in-law. Sanniang's voice was rarely filled with a thick disdain.
Although Sanniang also pays attention to Aunt Cui's movements, it is just out of caution and precautions, which does not mean that she is really Aunt Cui's great opponent. The disparity in identity is there, Sanniang is not the Zhao family.
"It's good that she's willing to jump out, I'm worried that she's too honest all these years." Aunt Cui is indeed able to endure, and Sanniang sometimes can't help but want to give her a nickname called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
Slippery and unslick, and follow the rules, how to deal with such a person?
"Have you ever seen a turtle killed?" Sanniang seemed to have thought of something funny, and opened her eyes and said jokingly to Bai Ying.
Bai Ying looked inexplicable.
Sanniang slowly compared her hands: "I heard that to kill a turtle, you must first draw out the turtle's head, and then chop it off with a knife." Otherwise, if it always hides its head in the shell, how do you do it? ”
“……”
***
In the main room.
Aunt Cui respectfully thought that Xue had finished saluting and stood to one side with her hands tied.
Xue asked kindly, "What is Aunt Cui doing today?" ”
When Aunt Cui heard this, she looked up at the few maids beside the Xue family, and her face hesitated.
Xue thought about it, and then ordered a few maids to retreat, but they left the agarwood behind.
"Aunt Cui can say it if she has something to say, this is my henchman, and she won't get in the way."
Aunt Cui glanced at Agarwood, although she wanted to talk to the Xue family alone, but she knew that the Xue family would definitely not be willing, so she could only give up.
"The concubine came today because she wanted to tell Madame about something."
Xue looked at Aunt Cui with some surprise.
Aunt Cui looked at Xue Shi with some pity and said, "Madame and the old man have been married for four years, have there never been good news?" ”
Xue Shi was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red.
Agarwood said with a heavy face: "Aunt Cui, how can you talk to Mrs. like this." ”
Aunt Cui was unmoved, but her eyes quickly condensed into tears, and she knelt down with a "poof": "Madam, if the concubine didn't mean to offend, it was really the concubine who couldn't bear to see Madame in the dark." ”
Xue was startled by her and motioned for Agarwood to help the person up.
Agarwood stepped forward to help Aunt Cui, and Aunt Cui also got up and sobbed intermittently on the side.
"What did you mean by what Aunt said just now?" Xue frowned.
Aunt Cui cried for a while, and then calmed down, as if she had made a great decision: "Madam, the reason why you haven't spread the news so far is because ...... Because the master was drugged, not only you, but Aunt Liu and I have not been pregnant all these years. It's not God's unkindness...... But...... It's ** yes. ”
Aunt Cui's words were like a thunderclap, and the Xue family and Agarwood who were present were shocked, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
Xue Shi took a deep breath and calmed himself: "What do you mean by this?" Who is the man you are talking about? ”
Aunt Cui, with a painful and sad face, was stunned for a while, until Xue called her again, she suddenly came back to her senses, stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and looked determined: "The concubine was still hesitating whether she should stand up and expose this matter, but the concubine really can't bear to see that Mrs. You have been seeking medical advice but have nothing to gain, and the concubine must tell you the truth." ”
Aunt Cui took a step forward: "It's the first third lady, the first third lady Zhao, she drugged the master." ”
When Xue Shi heard this, he subconsciously leaned back, stunned for a while, speechless.
Agarwood glanced at Xue, and then looked at Aunt Cui, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and frowned secretly.
"Mrs. Xian, why did you want to drug the master?" Xue swallowed and regained his voice.
Aunt Cui tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Why?" Naturally, it was for her pair of children, the fifth young master and the third young lady. Mrs. Xian knew that her time was running out, and she didn't want the master to have heirs to threaten the status of the fifth young master after her death, so she secretly attacked the master, so over the years, our three-room backyard has never had the young master miss born. ”
Xue was silent when he heard this.
Although I don't know if what Aunt Cui said is true, there is one thing that Aunt Cui is not wrong, that is, since Zhao's death, no child has been born in Sanfang. The Fifth Young Master, Second Miss, Third Miss, and Fifth Miss were all born before Zhao's death.
Aunt Cui secretly glanced at Xue's family, and smiled secretly in her heart, sure enough, the heir is the death hole of all women. Xue also began to be suspicious.
"You say that, but there's evidence?" Xue's voice was a little unsteady.
Aunt Cui thought for a while and shook her head: "This kind of fatal thing, after so many years, how can Mrs. Yixian's caution leave evidence?" It's just that the concubine was serving by the side of the first lady before, and she found some clues. It's a pity that the concubine also suffers from no real evidence, so she has only buried this secret in her heart for so many years. ”
Seeing Xue's frowning, Aunt Cui looked sad: "Madam, you must believe the concubine, the concubine is absolutely not false." The concubine has served by the side of the first lady for many years, and she knows her character best. On the surface, she is kind and angry, and she greets everyone with a smile, but behind the scenes, she is ......" Aunt Cui bit her lip: "It's the same as today's three ...... Miss Three...... Such as out of a retreat. ”
Agarwood's heart sank when he heard this.
Although Aunt Cui was talking about the Zhao family, she had to drag the third lady in the end.
Agarwood glanced at Xue again, and saw that Xue's brows were furrowed, and he was a little anxious.
Xue Shi frowned, was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "You said that I already know, Aunt Cui will go back first." ”
Aunt Cui glanced at Xue carefully, but she couldn't see any clues on her face, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncertain. Did Xue believe her words or not.
Aunt Cui thought about it and wanted to say something more, but Xue said to Agarwood: "I'm tired, you can send Aunt Cui out." So saying, he got up and went to the inner room, and said no more.
Seeing this, Aunt Cui frowned.
"Auntie, please come back." Agarwood had already walked to Aunt Cui's side expressionlessly and said lightly.
Aunt Cui couldn't, so she glanced at the inner room, but only saw a corner of lotus lotus flower skirt hanging from the kang in the inner room.
Agarwood blocked Aunt Cui, and Aunt Cui could only retreat.
Looking at Aunt Cui's back disappearing under the porch, Agarwood thought about it and went back to the main room and went straight to Xue's inner room.
"She's gone?" Xue Shi was lying on the kang and lowered his eyes slightly. (To be continued)
