Chapter 143: Someone Comes to Tell the Truth
At this time, Sun was anxiously waiting for the doctor's diagnosis in the main room of Qiuheng Courtyard. Seeing the doctor touching the white beard and getting up, Sun hurriedly greeted him.
"Doctor, how is Bai'er's injury?"
"The old man's right leg and calf have been dragged on the ground for a while, so the skin and flesh have been injured, although it looks a little serious, in fact, it has not hurt the muscles and bones, so it is okay, as long as you recuperate for a few days and wait for the wound to heal, please rest assured, old lady, please rest assured. The old man has just cleaned up and bandaged the old man's injuries, and he will wait for the old man to prescribe a few pairs of external and internal medicines. ”
Sun Shi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Doctor, hurry up and prescribe medicine, I'll let people catch it." ”
The doctor went outside to get a pen and paper, and Licorice hurriedly followed him out to serve.
Wang Bai, who was lying on the bed, was always conscious, and when he saw that Sun was worried about his injury, he hurriedly comforted: "Mother, my son said it was a minor injury!" Although it looks like there is some flesh and blood on his legs, it's actually fine. I paid attention when I fell off the horse, and I didn't let the bones hurt, anyway, my son also practiced twice. ”
Sun walked to Wang Bai's bed and sat down: "When you were first carried in, you scared me to death. What if you have three long and two short, what should you do if you can call your mother? Sun rarely showed a fragile expression in front of his son.
Wang Bai was stunned, then touched his head and said, "Aren't there still second and third brothers!" ”
Hearing this, Sun glared at Wang Bai, and Wang Bai shut up a little sneeringly.
"By the way, how did you fall off the horse? You've been learning to ride a horse with your master since you were a child, and you've never had a problem! Sun suddenly frowned.
Wang Bai was also a little confused: "My horse suddenly went crazy on the road, pouting and knocking me down." I don't understand what's going on either. The horse was usually very docile, and who knew that it would suddenly go crazy and scare me. ”
Sun said: "No matter what, we still have to check it well, so as not to make the same mistake in the future." ”
Wang Bai nodded: "My son knows, and I will send someone to check later." ”
Suddenly, Wang Bai seemed to think of something and said, "That's right." I've already sent someone to check on the matter of the ancestral hall. After inspecting the ancestral hall, the people in the yamen said that it was caused by the candle flame falling down and burning the table around the offering table. I was about to ask the mother-in-law who was taking care of the incense and candles in the ancestral hall. But she found that the mother-in-law was missing, and a mother-in-law who had sex with her said that she had gone to her daughter's house early this morning and had not returned. As soon as I came out of the yamen, I heard the report from the servant, and I thought that I would go with him to the house of the mother-in-law's daughter, but the daughter-in-law and son-in-law said that she had not seen the woman for many days, and had not come to their house this morning. I was thinking about it on the way when I suddenly startled my horse. ”
Hearing this, Sun Shi said angrily: "This is clear! It must have been the mother-in-law who watched the candle flame who was lazy and negligent last night, and let the incense candle fall down and cause the fire. She was afraid of being held accountable by the government. And he fled, and did not dare to go to his daughter's house, so he hid himself. This Diao slave! If I get caught. I will definitely give her a good beating and then send her to the government! ”
"My son thinks so too, otherwise, if there is a heavy place like the ancestral hall, and there are things given by the emperor, where would anyone dare to deliberately set fire! This incident should have been an accident caused by the negligence of the mother-in-law. Wang Bai nodded in agreement and said, "I have sent someone to search for the woman to come out." Her family has been in Qingcheng for generations, and she has no relatives outside, so she shouldn't be able to go far. ”
Sun nodded, and said a few more words to Wang Bai, seeing that he seemed to be a little tired, he asked him to rest well, and explained to the people of the Jin family and Qiuhengyuan to serve him well, and then returned to his Songling Courtyard with confidence.
###
After Sanniang came out of Sun's courtyard, she secretly thought about Erniang's behavior as she walked. Just now, Erniang's eyes after hearing that Wang Bai was injured made her frightened, could it be that Wang Bai's frightened horse had anything to do with her? If this is the case, the mother and daughter of the Liu family are too vicious, Wang Bai has no grievances with them, and they dare to do this kind of ruthlessness. Thinking of himself and Wang Jing...... Sanniang's heart was full of alarm bells.
After Sanniang and Wuniang separated, they went to their own yard, but they hadn't gone far when a figure suddenly jumped out of the flowers on the side.
Sanniang and the others were startled, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the people clearly. Jumping out of their way was a small maid who had not yet left her head.
Bai Ying scolded: "Where did the little maid come from, how did she learn the rules?" Don't you see the third lady? Why did you suddenly jump out and scare the master? Which yard are you from, and which grandma are you with? ”
The little girl was already a little restrained, but she was even more uneasy when she heard Bai Ying say this, she glanced at Sanniang, and saluted: "Servant Huaishan to the third lady to say goodbye." ”
Sanniang glanced at the girl's face, "Huh", and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, aren't you the old lady's room on an errand?" How did you get here? ”
The girl saw that Sanniang's expression was gentle, and she didn't blame her, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she also had a shy smile on her face: "The maid was originally on an errand in the old lady's room, but today Mama Chang assigned the maid and the other two maids in Songling Courtyard to Fangzhi Courtyard, saying that the old lady asked the maidservants to help serve the injured Mrs. Liu." ”
Sanniang's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she said with a smile: "It turns out that you are now on an errand in Fangzhi Courtyard, but you are still used to it?" Which grandma is you with? ”
Huai Shan said embarrassedly: "The slave maid asked the housekeeper of Fangzhi Courtyard to be assigned to Sister Hongxuan to learn the rules, the maid is stupid, and she will be tired and angry when she goes, and the rest will be fine." ”
Hongxuan is the big girl next to the Liu family, and Sanniang knows it.
"That's good, you should learn from your sisters, and when you are older, you will make fewer mistakes." Sanniang comforted Huaishan Road warmly.
Huai Shan nodded with a red face, thinking in his heart, this third lady is really a good person, easier to get along with than other young ladies, remembering that this third young lady also saved her life, she has not thanked her so far, so she gave a deep blessing to Sanniang: "Thank you for your life-saving grace." ”
Sanniang smiled: "I haven't done anything, you were lucky to get away with it at that time." It's just that you don't have to be frizzy when you do things in the future, if you are not very skilled in any work, find someone to practice first, and then go on an errand when you are done, it will not go wrong. You know, not every time you get lucky. ”
It turned out that this little girl named Huaishan was the one who knocked over the basin in Sun's room a few days ago, the day the third master came back, according to Sun's temper, the slave who scared her when she was in a bad mood and suspicious must have been driven out of the house after a few boards.
Sanniang saw that this girl was still young and she was helping her to carry a basin, and she felt a little unbearable, so she saved the two little girls in a hurry. Sanniang doesn't like to be nosy, but if it doesn't affect her, she can be convenient with others, and she is willing to help with this kind of effort.
It's just that she didn't expect that Mama Chang would assign Huaishan to Fangzhi Courtyard.
She mentioned it to Mama Chang that day, and asked her to pick a few people to be placed in Fangzhi Courtyard, but Mama Chang picked Huaishan, who was favored by her. It's just that Huaishan looks very young, and if she is asked to do anything in the future, I don't know if she can do it. Sanniang groaned in her heart.
"Miss, it's getting late, we should go back to the yard." Bai Ying reminded softly.
Sanniang nodded, and was about to send the little girl Huaishan back, but she didn't want Huaishan to say hurriedly: "Wait a minute, Miss San, the maid has something to say." ”
Sanniang raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard this, and saw that Huaishan's clear eyes were looking at her without flinching, very serious, Sanniang lowered her eyes, and then smiled at Huaishan: "Then you can accompany me to pick a few flowers." ”
Huai Shan happily agreed, and Sanniang instructed Bai Ying and the others behind him to watch around, and took Huai Shan to the flowers.
"Alright, there's no one else here, what do you have to say to me?" Sanniang smiled at Huai Shan, who was looking around.
Huai Shan leaned closer to Sanniang and whispered, "Third Miss, I heard the housekeeper in Fangzhi Courtyard mention you to Sister Hongxuan today. Sister Hongxuan told me to serve her tea, but when I came back, she was no longer there, so I brought it to her house, and I happened to hear what the housekeeper said to her. ”
Sanniang heard the alarm bell in her heart, but her face was calm and said, "Oh? She said what happened to me? ”
Huai Shan said: "The housekeeper said that she asked Sister Hongxuan to think about Sister Cui'er, who was also on an errand in the lady's room, and said that she should pay attention to whether Sister Cui'er had any dealings with you. Mama also mentioned that Sister Cui'er received a bracelet from you. ”
Sanniang frowned when she heard this, and the little maid's words revealed a few pieces of news: Liu suspected that she had placed eyeliner next to her, and this eyeliner was still the big girl Cui'er beside her, and a bracelet on Cui'er's body was originally owned by her Hefeng Courtyard, but now it is used as evidence that she has dealings with the girl in Fangzhi Courtyard.
She didn't install someone by Liu's side, not because she didn't want to, but because she had only been here for a year, and she had just stopped being blind to the affairs of the house, and she didn't have time to do anything at all. Wang Jing is even more impossible, and with Mama Zhao's temperament and her usual observations, she should not have done so. So is it a misunderstanding of the Liu family?
But why did the Liu family misunderstand her for no reason? Thinking of the eyeliner that Aunt Cui planted next to Liu's side, and she was waiting for her closely, Sanniang had to suspect that she was used as a scapegoat by Aunt Cui.
As for the bracelet in the hand of the maid named Cui'er, Sanniang sneered, Aunt Cui was born in Hefeng Courtyard, if you talk about the things around Zhao's side, she, the big girl who was in charge of Zhao's soft jewelry, can be said to know better than Mama Zhao.
So it was really as she expected, so Aunt Cui really had a good calculation.
Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, she hid in the dark to pick up ready-made.
But where in this world is there such a cheap thing? ()
