Chapter 54: The Two-Phase Fighting Method
The old lady sent someone to smash the plaque of Jirentang, and escorted Song Langzhong into the mansion, and the matter soon spread to Rongfutang.
Mother Qin first panicked, "Madam, something is wrong with this matter." Pin Meixuan went to catch the medicine every five days, and we explained to Song Langzhong that the aconitum powder was only mixed in the initial medicine bag, even if it was checked, how could it be found from other medicinal materials? ”
Qin Rou thought clearly, sneered and immediately decided: "It can only be that girl who wrote and directed herself, deliberately harming me!" ”
"What then? If Song Langzhong recruits, the old lady will definitely punish the lady. ”
"Song Youwei is a smart person, and his medicine hall can have today's situation because I support him behind my back."
Qin Rou beckoned her to come close and explained: "You go to the Song family quickly, control his family, and then take a token of his little grandson." Although the people in Pinmei Xuan were replaced, but the use of the cane was alarmed by the outer courtyard, looking for a clever boy to quietly take the token and hand it to Song Langzhong, he knew how to reply. ”
"Slave and maid, let's do it."
Qin's mother was full of promises and personally led a few powerful mothers-in-law out of the house.
Qin Rou was especially uneasy, and then summoned the eldest maid Bai Shao, and ordered: "You go back to the Hou Mansion, and after giving my mother and sister-in-law, you will say that I am not very happy, and invite them to come over the mansion to see me." ”
After telling this, Bai Jinyao also arrived, and Fang entered the room with a nervous face.
Qin Rou took the lead and said, "What are you panicking about? With me, the sky can't fall! ”
Bai Jinyao walked to her side and asked in a low voice, "Mother, is this matter deviating from our plan?" Is she going to win again? ”
Her hunch was very bad, and this kind of experience of being calculated instead of being calculated was not once or twice.
Qin Rou looked disdainful, and was just about to speak, but the old lady sent Leng Xing to invite her.
Leng Xing's words were concise and to the point, and he did not soften his heart because the eldest lady was weak.
Bai Jinyao walked towards her, pretending to be calm and dignified: "My mother is not in good health, and Lang Zhong explained that it is not appropriate to go out." I heard that the eldest sister invited the imperial doctor and Langzhong in the house, and my mother was also thinking about it, so she ordered me to go over to visit, and I happened to go with you. ”
Leng Xing repeated without changing his face: "The old lady asked the eldest lady to come over for an important matter, and the second lady can go with her if she wants to visit the eldest lady, but the eldest lady has to go." ”
Bai Su, who was serving Qin Rou, immediately scolded: "Presumptuous! How dare you talk to Madame like that? ”
Leng Xing glanced at her obliquely, and responded: "I'm just here to pass on the old lady's order, if the eldest lady insists on not going, she won't have to embarrass the slave and maid, just send the people around her to reply in the past, so as to show that the slave and maid have really passed on the word." ”
Bai Jinyao was angry, and just as she was about to open her lips, Qin Rou had already made a stop look at her.
She stood up with Bai Su's support, and replied to Leng Xing: "Since the old lady has orders, I naturally want to go over." You go outside and wait first, and I'll change my clothes and go. ”
Leng Xing bowed his head slightly and retreated outside.
When she came out of the house, Bai Jinyao stepped forward: "I'll go with my mother." ”
"No, you stay here, and you'll need to be with you when your grandmother and aunt arrive."
Bai Jinyao was slightly surprised, "Mother sent someone back to the Hou Mansion?" ”
"Your grandmother will not come to the house to walk around again, I am afraid that the Bai family will forget that I still have a reliable mother's family. These days, I've been serving your grandmother in the morning and dusk, seeing that the relationship has just improved, but I don't want to let that slut leave! ”
Thinking of Bai Jinghao, Qin Rou hated it so much, knowing that it would be difficult to feed in the palm of her hand.
She restrained her emotions and arrived at Pinmei Xuan casually, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw that a long bench for staff was prepared in the court, and two strong little men sat at the bottom of the steps with sweat on the board, and when they saw her coming, they got up and saluted.
Qin Rou glanced at the two of them slightly, and went to the flower hall with the little maid Chunxiao.
She pretended to be kind and concerned about Bai Jing's condition, Chunxiao answered truthfully, and Qin Rou said angrily: "There is such a thing, I don't have to let those black-hearted men who open the medicine hall harm our eldest lady, it's my mother's negligence!" ”
Stepping into the flower hall, she confessed to the old lady who was sitting tall: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law has heard that it was Song Lang who opened the black-hearted hall and did not carefully mix the aconitum powder into the medicine that our eldest lady ate, so that Jing Jing lingered on the sickbed for many days, and we will definitely deal with him severely!" ”
The old lady had a confession in her hand, and seeing her so coy, she asked in a deep voice: "Then according to your meaning, what should you do with Song Langzhong?" ”
"Lang Zhong was originally to help the world and save people, but Song Langzhong's medicine hall was so negligent, although it was not a mistake, but after all, it almost killed our eldest lady. Murder pays for life, and the daughter-in-law feels that it is best to send it to the yamen. Qin Rou behaved very fairly.
"Heh, you're ruthless. Song Youwei is doing things for you, now that the East Window incident has happened, you want to send him to the government, aren't you afraid that he will recruit you out? The old lady picked up the confession she had at hand and threw it at her.
The confession floated to Qin Rou's feet, she looked down, and it truly recognized that he was ordered by Qin Rou to secretly plant aconitum powder in Bai Jing's good medicine, with black and white letters, and a bright red handprint.
Qin Rou was stunned, she never expected Song Langzhong to recognize it so quickly, and the people she sent to the Song family to get the token didn't come back.
Seeing her expression, the old lady looked away in disappointment and said coldly, "Do you want to send it to the government now?" This kind of private means of the house, you are not afraid of being embarrassed, Shangshu Mansion can't afford to lose this person, it doesn't make people laugh at it, the boss has a wife room like you who can't accommodate a concubine! ”
Qin Rou knelt on the ground and argued, "Old lady, this must be slander!" Although Jinghao is not my own, I have treated her well over the years. If her daughter-in-law really can't tolerate her, she can let herself fend for herself in the small courtyard for those years, why bother to ask someone to ask for medicine for her, and go around such a big circle in vain? ”
The old lady shook her head, glanced at the people around her, and Mama Su walked towards the door.
The old lady said to Qin Rou, who was kneeling: "You used to be virtuous on the surface, but how could you have been tolerant of people secretly?" Over the years, Song Langzhong has been listening to your instructions to deliberately delay Jinghao's illness, and you also instructed the maids around Jinghao to treat her harshly many times, so that she could suffer the cold eyes of people in the small courtyard, this is what you call kindness? ”
Qin Rou raised her head: "My daughter-in-law doesn't." ”
At this time, Er Yuan walked in with Mama Su, knelt beside Qin Rou and said, "Madam, don't quibble, the slaves and maids have been recruited." ”
Qin Rou looked at her sideways: "You, what did you recruit?" ”
"Everything. Over the years, you have ostensibly ordered me to serve the eldest lady in the small courtyard, but in fact, you have forced me to monitor the eldest lady's every move with the lives of my father and brother. Originally, I didn't dare to deny it, but I only learned two days ago that my father and brother had already died in the fire, and it was because I took the initiative to go into the water to rescue the eldest lady last time, so the eldest lady did this to the slave's family, and the slave and the maid really can't serve you anymore. ”
Er Kite's words fell, and then kowtowed to the old lady and said: "The slave and maid betrayed the lord and were unrighteous in the past, and they had to do it at the behest of the eldest lady. What the slave said was true, and asked the old lady to make decisions for the slave's family. ”
Song Langzhong and Er Yuan's identification made it clear that Qin Rou had secretly treated Bai Jing well and wanted to harm his life in the past.
This was something Qin Rou didn't expect, she hadn't found a chance to get rid of this servant girl who betrayed the master, she had already bitten her mouth, she was so angry that she was about to fall down with her body slightly up.
