Chapter 064: The Disaster of Innocence (3)
Zhao Mansion, Peony Garden.
Amethyst watched the carrier pigeon's vigorous posture fly into the air, thinking of the report in the letter, she bit her lower lip worriedly, and instructed Zizhu beside her: "Zizhu, you immediately go to the outer courtyard to find Chen Dongsheng, and ask him to go to the uncle's house as soon as possible, and tell the uncle's wife everything that happened today, and also ask her to come to our house to chat with his wife when the old man is free...... Mrs. Li is a rare and intelligent woman, as long as she says it clearly, she will definitely understand. ”
"Sister Amethyst, will you worry too much?" After all, Zizhu is young and has experienced few things, and she can't understand the deep meaning of Amethyst's actions for a while, she looked at the quiet courtyard, and asked puzzledly: "Aunt Su's miscarriage, what does it have to do with us, why bother to send a letter to the second young grandmother, and then bother with the eldest uncle's wife?" ”
"It's not that simple, I can't say it clearly for a while, hurry up, do what I say first, and I'll teach you the rest slowly when this turmoil passes."
Unlike Zizhu, Amethyst grew up in the courtyard of a deep house since she was a child, and she has seen almost all kinds of house fights. Take today's matter as an example, it can be big or small to deal with - if there is no villain to make trouble, this matter is almost a trivial matter in the inner courtyard, even if it is to deal with people, it is just a beating of the maiden who serves Aunt Su; But once someone takes advantage of the chaos to make trouble and is used by someone with a heart, it is not enough to punish a few people.
Perhaps, it will also affect the second young grandmother
Thinking of what might happen, Amethyst didn't care to explain to Zizhu, and urged her to do something.
Seeing that Zizhu was still puzzled but still obediently walked out of the inner courtyard, Zijing called Zhao Erlang's house, who was in charge of the garden, "Sister-in-law, you bring it into the kitchen immediately, the cook there is not our person, so you can't be bribed to do something......"
"Understood"
Zhao Erlang's twenty-six or seventeen-year-old appearance, wearing a half-worn lake green cotton straight-sleeved shirt on the upper body, with a long skirt printed with red flowers on an apricot yellow background, thick black long hair to complete the home-style bun, a delicate hollow plum blossom-like silver hairpin between the buns, the whole person looks refreshing, and the eyebrows and eyes are also shrewd and capable.
Before coming to the capital, Zhao Erlang's family followed Zhao Erlang to do errands in the Wang family's compound, although she had not been an errand in front of the master, but she heard a lot of dirty things in the mansion.
Now seeing Amethyst's solemn explanation as if facing the enemy, he knows that something big is going to happen, and it is about the second young grandmother
Judging from her identity alone, she, like Amethyst, is Wang Qifang's closest person, and once Wang Qifang, the second young grandmother of Zhao Mansion, has an accident, they will all be unlucky.
However, if you analyze it carefully, she is still different from Amethyst - Amethyst is alone, even if something happens, she is just suffering alone; And behind her is a big family, think about her husband's proud appearance during this time, Zhao Erlang's family is more determined to do one thing, the glory and wealth of their family are all on Wang Qifang, only the second young grandmother is safe and beautiful, and their family has a good life.
Thinking of this, Zhao Erlang's expression tightened, and he nodded: "I'll go to the kitchen and check the inside up and down, and I must not let that villain have a chance to frame him...... In addition, the girl should also pay attention to the inner room, today, you were pulled by that little girl and talked for a while, if someone pulls it out, Amethyst girl, you are wronged, and it will be a big deal for our second young grandmother."
"Well, there is definitely something wrong with that little girl," Zhao Erlang's family didn't say that it was okay, as soon as she mentioned this person, Amethyst's eyes flashed with cold light: "Why didn't the cook in the small kitchen ask, but ran to me and asked me for help?" Doesn't she know that we have to draw a line with Aunt Su. ”
"It's too late to say this now, I'll go to the kitchen first, and the girl has to be careful"
When Zhao Erlang's family heard this, they also nodded secretly. Since Aunt Su became pregnant, the situation of the second young grandmother has been very embarrassing - if you don't care about Aunt Su, others will say that she is jealous and intolerant; If she cares about Aunt Su, others will suspect her of ill-intentioned and uneasy intentions.
Alas, in the end, the second young grandmother could only adopt a lukewarm attitude, and begged Mrs. Su several times to send two old grandmothers to Aunt Su. As for himself, he will do the big things on his face, and he will not deduct the shares and supplements that should be given; The specific trivial matters are not touched, and the people in Aunt Su's courtyard are tossed by themselves.
The kitchenette thing, even more so. According to the rules, Aunt Su is just a good concubine and has no right to have an independent kitchen. Because she kept supplements and medicines all day long, the second young grandmother simply let her small kitchen out and used it exclusively for Aunt Su.
It's been fine in the past few months, why did something happen when the second young grandmother was not in the house? And there is a good chance that the spearhead will be pointed at the small kitchen.
Pointing to the small kitchen means that he is suspicious of the second young grandmother. Once the matter involves the second young grandmother, then this matter will get bigger and bigger, no matter what the result is, it will seriously affect the reputation of the second young grandmother - whether it is jealousy or murdering the family bloodline, it is not the style of a well-educated famous lady
"Well, sister-in-law, I'm also worried that the slave will take advantage of the second young grandmother's absence in the house to make waves, and I don't have to bring the reputation of the second young grandmother."
What Zhao Erlang's family thought of, Amethyst also thought of, her face was solemn, and her mind was quickly thinking about the places that were easy to be framed, for fear that someone would break into the door and search for it in the next moment.
"Sister Zi, Amethyst, it's not good, it's not good, Mrs. Zhao and the second young master are coming to our courtyard with a group of people."
As if to cooperate with Amethyst's idea, she and Zhao Erlang's family had just broken up and were about to go their separate ways, when the little girl who was cleaning at the door ran in in a panic, shouting loudly as she ran, lest others not know.
"Mrs. Shut up and the second young master are here, how can it be a big deal?" Hearing this, Amethyst frowned and scolded. She glanced at the huge room and sighed secretly: Alas, what should come will always come, and now the soldiers can only come to cover the water
Taking a deep breath, Amethyst straightened her clothes and greeted her with a smile.
"Come on, close the gate of the courtyard, from now on, no one will be allowed to enter or leave"
Walking into the peony garden, Zhao Tianqing turned around and commanded in a deep voice to the two little servants waiting next to him.
"Yes, Second Young Master"
Seeing that the second young master had a gloomy face, the two little guys were also cold, and hurriedly agreed, closed the vermilion courtyard door tightly, and dropped the latch.
"The slave Amethyst has seen his wife, the second young master"
When Amethyst saw this pomp, she secretly said in her heart that it was not good, the second young master was not good at coming
"Cheap maid" Zhao Tianqing's eyes were full of anger when he looked at Amethyst, if it weren't for Mrs. Zhao on the side, he would have kicked over and kicked this cheap girl who killed his child to death
"Cough~~" Mrs. Zhao glanced at the angry Zhao Tianqing, coughed lightly, and covered up Zhao Tianqing's anger, "Amethyst, I lost something valuable in the house today, in order to wash everyone's innocence, it's better to let people search for it......"
"Mrs. Zhao, although the slave maid can't do it, she is not stupid," Zhao Tianqing's curse was so loud, and Amethyst was not deaf, so she could naturally hear it clearly. Then he heard Mrs. Zhao's pretended lies, so he interrupted her very unceremoniously and said bluntly: "Just now, the slave maid heard that Aunt Su had a miscarriage, but why hadn't she heard of it...... Now that Mrs. Xingshi has brought people to the peony garden, she must have gotten some clues, come to our yard to search. ”
“…… Hmph, what a sharp-toothed girl," was asked so directly, Mrs. Zhao felt that her authority had been greatly violated, and her anger jumped up from the bottom of her heart.
Now that she has been recognized by others, it doesn't mean much for her to pretend to say some official things. Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, and said that she would leave some dignity for the sake of the second young grandmother's face, but I didn't think that my kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by you...... Well, since you know everything, then I won't talk nonsense, Aunt Su only ate a bird's nest porridge made in the small kitchen before giving birth, in order to wash away your suspicions, it is safer to let people search one by one. Come on, call all the kitchen ladies out, and you go and search the kitchen to see if there is anything unclean in it."
"Yes"
When Mother Guo and Grandma Sun heard Mrs. Zhao's order, they hurriedly flashed out of the crowd, rolled up their sleeves and prepared to go into the kitchen to search.
"Slow" Amethyst didn't care about it, and she was no longer afraid of words, she saw that the two grandmothers were about to rush to the kitchen with a few little girls, so she hurriedly stopped them.
"What, you're weak-hearted?"
Mrs. Zhao smiled coldly and asked coldly.
"The slave maid hasn't done anything wrong, so naturally she won't be weak-hearted," Amethyst raised her head and said with a little arrogance: "Mrs. wants to search, but the slave doesn't dare to stop it." It's just that the slaves have doubts, who can guarantee that when these people go to the kitchen to search, they will 'drop' the unclean things that 'themselves' carry in the kitchen? Since you want to search, simply, everyone will search for Mrs. The most fair person, presumably they will not cover up their own people. ”
"Presumptuous" Zhao Tianqing saw that Amethyst had obviously made a mistake, but she looked aggressive, and the anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and she waved her hand, "Come on, don't you tie up this cheap maid who doesn't have a master in her eyes?" ”
"Mrs., second young master, the old slave wants to be exposed"
When the tension was outside, a woman in her forties suddenly rushed out of the small kitchen, ran straight to Mrs. Zhao, and fell to the ground with a pop: "Madam, the old slave revealed that Amethyst once took a large bag of saffron into the kitchen......"
