Aunt Cui took the plain purse in Yuzhu's hand, but she was not in a hurry to hand it to Mulian, but only took it in her hand and gently stroked the plain silk surface.

Mu Lian stared at the purse in Aunt Cui's hand, her face was anxious.

Aunt Cui smiled softly: "I want to wish Miss Mulian that you get what you want, but ...... I've been in a difficult situation lately. ”

Mu Lian glanced at the purse and said busily: "What's so difficult about my aunt?" Let's listen and see if Mulian can help. ”

Aunt Cui smiled again when she heard this: "A few days ago, I went to my wife's room to talk to my wife. ”

Mu Lian thought for a while and nodded: "That time, Madame drove us all out, leaving only Agarwood alone. ”

"I didn't expect Mrs. to value the girl of Agarwood so much, you are no worse than Agarwood in all aspects, but Mrs. is hiding everything from you." Aunt Cui shook her head with a look of pity.

Mu Lian heard this, with a hint of unconvincing on her face: "Madam didn't hide everything from me, and I also know a little about it." ”

Aunt Cui's eyes flashed and she looked at Mu Lian: "Oh? What do you know? ”

"This ......" Mulian hesitated a little.

Aunt Cui didn't ask, just looked down at the purse in her hand.

Seeing this, Mu Lian gritted her teeth: "I heard Madame talking to Agarwood, and I know why Madame is indifferent to your words. ”

Aunt Cui was stunned in her hand, the smile on her face was even gentler, she took Mu Lian's hand, and put the purse in her hand on Mu Lian's hand: "You can take this." ”

Mu Lian's face was happy, and she hurriedly put the purse away closely. When I looked up, I saw Aunt Cui looking at her with a smile.

Mu Lian thought for a while and said, "I heard Madame say that she doesn't distrust you, auntie. It's just that...... It's just that if her identity is unfounded, she is not good at speaking in front of the master, for fear that people will say that she deliberately slandered Mrs. Xian. She is a continuation, and if this matter is publicized, she is a great sin. ”

Xue is a continuation of the string. The Zhao family is the original match, although they are all wives, but the identity of the Xue family is a little worse in terms of etiquette. There is no basis for slandering the deceased original partner. This is the following offense.

"Unfounded?" Aunt Cui frowned and read softly.

Mu Lian nodded: "That's right, Madam, she doesn't dare to bear this responsibility." So I can only assume that I don't know. And ......"

Aunt Cui looked up at Mu Lian when she heard this: "And what?" ”

"And. Madame said, even if Mrs. Xian did this, Mrs. Xian has already passed away, this matter has nothing to do with the third lady and the fifth young master, and making trouble will make her stepmother offend the third lady and the fifth young master, and she can't do this. ”

Aunt Cui's brows furrowed even tighter.

Mu Lian looked at Aunt Cui and hesitated: "Auntie, this matter is indeed difficult for Mrs. And I heard Agarwood say to Madame...... What's that medicine that's so powerful? Why is it still effective after all these years? Could it be that this matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Xian, but someone else's hand? And the drugged man hasn't stopped all these years. ”

Aunt Cui was shocked when she heard this, could it be that she was suspicious?

"Auntie?" Mu Lian saw that Aunt Cui didn't speak for a while. Tentatively shouted.

Aunt Cui gathered her mind and smiled at Mulian: "I know." Thank you for the point. Go back first, and don't let anyone find out that you always come to me, lest you get into trouble. ”

Mu Lian said gratefully: "Auntie, you are really a good person, then the slave and maid will go back first, if there is any place where the slave and maid are useful, you can just ask." ”

Aunt Cui smiled and nodded, and let Yuzhu let Mulian go out.

As soon as the person left, the smile on Aunt Cui's face disappeared.

She was still a little anxious and owed consideration.

Aunt Cui got up and slowly paced back and forth in her room.

It's just that Sanniang's wedding date is coming, and she doesn't have much time to use, so she can't help but be in a hurry. She also heard about Sanniang's dowry, because it was a marriage, Wang Dong had a good face, and secretly subsidized a lot of silver, and I heard that there were houses, Zhuangzi, and fields. Xue's still bought everything according to it. She estimated that there would be tens of thousands of taels.

If so...... If these are her five mothers'...... Then she has nothing to worry about in this life.

Yuzhu had already loosened the mulian, and when she walked in, she saw that Aunt Cui was a little different from the past, so she stood aside.

Aunt Cui gradually stopped her steps, turned around and went to her bedside, Yuzhu looked at Aunt Cui with some curiosity, and saw that she touched under the mattress on her bed, and after touching for a long time, she didn't know how, so she found a jade-colored purse.

Yuzhu was shocked, she intuitively felt that this purse was a secret of Aunt Cui. Because Aunt Cui's bed has always been cleaned up by her, but she has not seen this purse by Aunt Cui's side for many years, and she doesn't know where her aunt hid this purse.

Aunt Cui turned around and saw Yuzhu looking at her in surprise and smiled softly at her.

Yuzhu was shocked by Aunt Cui's smile and let out a cold sweat.

Aunt Cui didn't have time to care about Yuzhu's expression, and opened the purse that was a little old. A folded, yellowed piece of paper was pulled out of it.

"Auntie......" Yuzhu shouted quietly.

Aunt Cui didn't seem to hear Yuzhu's shout, but slowly and carefully opened the piece of paper in her hand, and Yuzhu could see the ink-colored traces that penetrated the back of the paper.

"She's right, everything is based on evidence, and since Madame has passed away, it is natural that someone will continue to do this." Aunt Cui's eyes sparkled.

Yuzhu looked at it, and his heart went up and down.

Aunt Cui folded the paper in her hand again and put it back in her purse.

She must let Wu Niang replace San Niang, Mrs. couldn't fight her back then, and now her daughter has to make way for her Wu Niang.

"Madam, don't blame me for your heavenly spirit. You are also a mother, and you should understand that cutting a concubine is also a last resort. Your daughter is a descendant, even if she misses this time, there will be opportunities in the future, but my Yue'er she doesn't. So the concubine can only be wronged by the third lady as this scapegoat. Aunt Cui muttered in a low voice: "Who made the old man childless, and the fifth young master benefited the most?" In fact, you should thank me for keeping your secret for so many years and doing so much for you. ”

"Yuzhu." Aunt Cui suddenly raised her voice and shouted.

Although Yuzhu was already paying attention to it just now, she still didn't hear what Aunt Cui said clearly, and when she saw Aunt Cui suddenly raise her voice, she was frightened.

She didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly walked over: "Auntie, what do you command?" ”

Aunt Cui looked at Yuzhu carefully, Yuzhu was a little nervous by her, but Aunt Cui smiled softly: "Yuzhu, how long have you been with me?" ”

Yuzhu thought for a while: "The slave maid has been serving by my aunt's side since she was seven years old, and it has been ten years now. ”

"Ten years...... That's not a short time. Aunt Cui nodded.

"Yes, the slave maid is a blessed one, auntie, you have a good temper, and you have never scolded the slave maid." Yuzhu said a little shyly.

Aunt Cui smiled when she heard this: "You follow me, and it is also our fate." When I came to Beijing, Yugui and the others all stayed in the old mansion in Shandong, and you were the only one who followed, you are a loyal and good girl. ”

Yuzhu hurriedly said: "The slave is willing to follow her aunt for a lifetime." ”

Aunt Cui glanced at Yuzhu, and when she saw that she was serious, she smiled again: "Silly girl, you always have to get married, where can you stay with me for a lifetime?" Don't worry, I've already inquired about the mother-in-law in the backyard, a young man called the servant who served in the study outside the front yard, I heard that he is the nephew of the housekeeper in the outer yard, not only looks dignified, but also can read and hyphenation, which is very valued by the master. I have sent for an inquiry, and in a few days there will be news, and when the time comes, I will go and beg Madame to behave you to him. ”

Yuzhu's face turned red when he heard this, but there was some joy in his eyes. Of course she knows about the book, several of the little girls in the backyard are devoted to him, and she has secretly seen them a few times, and she looks very handsome.

When Aunt Cui saw Yuzhu's expression, she naturally understood this girl's thoughts. She took Yuzhu's hand and said softly: "Now, there is only one you who has to be used by my side, and I have a very important matter that can only be handed over to you." ”

Yuzhu was pulled out of her pink dream, and when she saw what Aunt Cui said solemnly, she nodded hurriedly and said, "Aunt has something, but please command, the slave will definitely be able to help you do it." ”

Aunt Cui was very satisfied and patted Yuzhu's hand.

She took out the purse in her hand, thought about it, and handed it over to Yuzhu.

Yuzhu took the purse and looked at it a few times, except that he felt that the purse was a little old, and he couldn't see any clues.

"Auntie, what is this?"

Aunt Cui didn't answer Yuzhu's words, in fact, she was also a little hesitant. According to her temperament, she is unwilling to hand over this important matter to others to do, even if Yuzhu is her most trusted maid. She wasn't used to putting her handle in someone else's hands. But...... She didn't have time anymore, and she couldn't get out of this inner house by herself anyway, so she could only rely on Yuzhu to help her complete this.

"Here's a prescription, I want you to help me grab a dose of medicine." Aunt Cui said softly: "It's just that you don't want to grab these medicines in one pharmacy, and buy them in various pharmacy stores in the city." Remember, ask the pharmacy guy to grind all the medicine you bought into powder and bring it back. ”

Yuzhu was a little scared intuitively: "Auntie, what kind of medicine is this?" ”

Aunt Cui smiled at Yuzhu soothingly: "Don't worry, it's not a poison, it won't eat the dead, I'm useful." You just have to go and buy it for me. ”

Yuzhu saw that Aunt Cui was sure of what she said, so she could only nod and respond.

Aunt Cui reached out and touched Yuzhu's face, and said softly: "Good girl, you helped me do this, I won't treat you badly, and I won't break my promise about your future." (To be continued)
