Chapter 399

"Misdeeds? Garden? Bai Lan stared at Bai Guo with a strange expression.

Sanniang finally knew why Bai Guo added that bunch of annotations in front of Li Gongzi, because this Li Gongzi was ...... Famous! Therefore, the curious masses turned out the eight generations of his family's ancestors.

Bai Guo's face turned red when she saw her, and he glared at her fiercely: "I also came from hearsay, and I didn't say it!" ”

Bai Ying coughed lightly: "Okay, don't make trouble." Baiguo, you go on. ”

Bai Guo pushed Bai Lan aside: "When those servants were on their night patrol, they heard the sound of rustling in the garden, and thought that a wild cat had come. It happened that a few pots of precious peonies had been brought into the garden, which the Countess would use for a tea party in a few days, and the servants were afraid that the beast would spoil the flowers, so they ran over to check them. But when I went into the garden, I heard no more noise. I was going to go back like this, but there was a careful mother-in-law who pointed to the rockery in the garden, and the beast must have been hiding in the rockery, so she waited for them to come out and make trouble after leaving. "Some of the rockeries in the big gardens are hollow and hewn.

The servants remembered that in the morning they had heard from the housekeeper that they must take care of a few pots of flowers in the garden, and they were afraid that something would go wrong, so they went to the rockery to visit together. Behold...... A bold woman went in first, and soon her screams sounded in the rockery. Because it was night, and the cave was dark, the woman probably didn't see people clearly, and the people outside didn't even enter, so they cried out that there was a thief. At this time, a man's voice came from inside the rockery. The people waiting outside are even more convinced that there are really thieves inside. A few bold people went in together to pick up people, but found that there was a woman inside. He was held in the man's arms and protected his head and face, and he didn't say a word. At this time, there is humanity, this woman must be in the house to her thief lover to make an internal response, and she must be greatly rewarded if she catches the lady. So several people worked together to pull people out, because there were thieves just now, so when they came out of the rockery, the escort of the outer garden patrol also arrived. ”

Several people in the room looked at each other when they heard this. Bai Guo continued: "This is not over yet. You must know that in the central part of Beijing, don't say that there are thieves in your own house, even if your neighbor's house is a thief. When everyone heard the news, they would also take the guy to help the people, and they would hold down the thief and beat him first. As soon as these two came out and didn't have a chance to say half a sentence, they were beaten by the attendants who rushed over. ”

"At this time, they still don't recognize their identity? Would you rather be beaten? Bai Zhi, who came into the house later, couldn't help but ask.

Bai Guo saw that the news he brought back recently attracted so many people, and he became more and more proud. The explanation is even more hard: "Where! Because he couldn't stand the pain, Li Gongzi naturally hurriedly identified himself, but at that time, his eyes were red, who wanted to listen to what he said? However, speaking of which, Li Gongzi still has some responsibility, he carefully protected the second miss of the Fang family in his arms from beginning to end, although there were also those tricky servants who deliberately went up to greet her head and face, but compared to the half-dead Li Gongzi when Earl Fang arrived later, the second miss Fang just lost some hair and was injured on her back. Fortunately, Earl Fang arrived in time, otherwise I don't know if the son of the Li family is still alive. ”

"Even if it cost me my life. That's also his own fault, who can he blame? Bai Zhi pouted, very disdainful. In this era, adultery, adultery, adultery, adultery A place like the capital. It is relatively more tolerant, but the hearts of the people are still the same contempt.

"How do you know so much? Even some of the details are clear, like you stood by and watched last night. Bai Ying thought about it and said suspiciously. Her words made the rest of the room also begin to wonder if Bai Guo was talking about it, and added fuel to the fire.

Seeing that he was being suspected, Bai Guo was anxious: "This is the real thing!" If I had a sentence and a half that I made up myself. I'm a puppy! I wasn't there yesterday, but there were more people yesterday! ”

"You mean, this came from the retinue or servant who was present last night? This makes even more sense! Aren't they gossiping about their master's house in this way? Bai Ying was even more unconvinced.

Bai Guo thought about it, and saw that there were only a few familiar people in the room, and Bai Lan, the only one who seemed to her to be an outsider, Sanniang didn't hide things from her on weekdays, so she said, "Then I'll tell the truth." In fact, Ah Fang's aunt was also present last night. ”

"Ah Fang? Is that the maid next to Miss Li Shilang that you started to talk about? Bai Zhi said.

Bai Guo nodded: "It's that Ah Fang, let me tell you don't say it." In fact, these words really came from those who were there last night. It turned out that after these people went back after beating people last night, they were all frightened, who could still sleep? They not only beat up their own young lady and future uncle, but also broke their ugly affairs, so they discussed what to do together. Some people also said that although the countess was quite generous, the old lady above was not easy to mess with. When she was still in charge of the family before, because she was afraid that she would deliberately let people take the sister-in-law who was left behind by the original partner, after the master was assigned, in order to kill the mouth, she disposed of all the people who were arranged by the master's side before, a few were sold to the south, and some of them were not even accounted for. ”

Several people in the room couldn't help but shiver when they heard this, and their hearts were compared to their hearts, and they felt terrified when they thought about that kind of scene.

"So, those guys combined. If the old lady gets the news and wants to intervene until dawn, then none of them who have witnessed this incident will end well! So someone came up with a plan, that is, to publicize the matter before the lord's family remembered them tomorrow, so that the old lady would have no leisure and no need to clean them up. It just so happened that there were a few people among them, and the head of their family was the attendant of the outer courtyard who had just entered, so this matter was spread. Sure enough, as soon as it was dawn, the countess took the door out of the curfew and summoned all those who had been present last night. was teaching a lesson, and there were henchmen around her to tell her that the news had somehow spread all over the place, and now even if she wanted to hide it from her grandfather, she couldn't keep it a secret. The countess shouted that it was over, and fainted on the spot. Now the whole Earl's Court is in chaos. ”

"What happened to the eldest lady of the Fang family?" Bai Zhi asked. Women will sympathize with the victims.

Bai Guo thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, I heard that Miss Fang started to get sick a few days ago, and she couldn't get out of bed because she was already sick." Hey, this Miss Fang is really pitiful, no matter who is involved in this kind of thing, she will be sad and sad, if she knows, her condition will definitely be aggravated again. ”

"No matter who it is, in a position like Miss Fang, you will get sick! This family is also too much. Bai Zhi said with some indignation.

Bai Lan also smiled and said coldly: "Could it be that this is the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked?" What the grandmother of the second lady of the Fang family did back then was very despicable, and her granddaughter naturally didn't learn well. ”

Sanniang listened to a few maids, but she thought a little more.

This matter is not as simple as it seems, from Bai Guo's words just now, it seems that someone has been guiding the direction of things from the beginning to the end of last night's incident. Someone led the group of servants to the garden, and drew their attention to the rockery.

Originally, if this matter only happened in the inner courtyard, then it was not impossible for the Fang family to hide it, but some people shouted that there was a thief without anyone seeing it clearly, and pulled the people in the outer courtyard in, and then started beating people, as if they were deliberately trying to lead things in an uncontrollable direction.

The purpose is naturally to make these people take the initiative to publicize the matter because they are afraid of the "vicious old lady".

If this matter is really as Sanniang guessed, then the person behind this plot should be really thoughtful, and one step is counted as ten steps.

"Miss, what do you think about this?" Bai Lan walked over and asked in a low voice.

Sanniang shook her head: "Just listening to what Bai Guo said, where can I draw any conclusions?" It's just that this thing has turned out to be a bit of a surprise. ”

Bai Lan nodded thoughtfully when she heard this: "It's a pity that young lady, you have already given an order not to let me explore the affairs of the Fang family, otherwise I really want to find out." What's more, I don't know what happened to the eldest lady of the Fang family, she is so lonely and pitiful in Beijing that she doesn't even have a helper. ”

Sanniang thought about it, but didn't say anything in the end.

Bai Lan glanced at Sanniang, and saw that she didn't say anything, so she could only sigh lightly and walk away.

Sanniang knew what Bai Lan meant, because of the relationship between the biological father of the eldest lady of the Fang family, Bai Lan naturally felt like her own family to Fang Jingyi. But Sanniang still didn't want Bai Lan to get involved in the Fang family's affairs now.

That eldest lady of the Fang family...... Also an assertive person. On that day, Erniang said that Fang Jingyi was very similar to her, so Sanniang thought that if she was in Fang Jingyi's position, she would definitely not sit still.

This thing is so weird, not only will it not help people if you meddle rashly, but you may also provoke people's suspicions, which is thankless.

If Fang Jingyi's life and safety were really threatened, and she was able to help, then even if it was to help Xuan Shao's right-hand man to sell favors to his right-hand men, she would do it.

But that's not the case, so it's not that she's cold-blooded.

Look, I'm afraid this matter won't be over for a while. (To be continued)
