Chapter 112: Preliminary Inference
Shen couldn't hold his breath in the end, and opened his mouth and said, "The third girl's tone is not small. As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Mrs. Xu's body, and when he saw that the other party had no intention of stopping him, he said with disdain on his face as if he had received a holy decree: "Hey, I know that this is wrong." Could it be that it's really the same as I guessed, and you already know who did it? ”
Speaking of which, she still firmly believes that this is Chen Ying's bitter plan.
"The third aunt thinks too much. Just before entering Mingyuan Hall, the niece didn't know who did it. Chen Ying replied very sincerely.
Shen immediately sneered, covered his lips with a handkerchief and said exaggeratedly: "Ah, yo, if you follow your words, after entering Mingyuan Hall, you will know who did it?" ”
When she said this, her tone, expression, and movements all showed the attitude of "how is this possible".
However, to her surprise, Chen Ying actually nodded, and said in a tone that was even more sincere than Fang Cai: "Yes, third aunt." After entering Mingyuan Hall, the niece preliminarily deduced the initiator of this matter. ”
Shen Shi was taken aback, put the handkerchief down, and looked at Chen Ying suspiciously: "You really know?" ”
Chen Ying ignored her, turned her eyes to look at Mrs. Xu, and asked respectfully: "Grandmother, granddaughter dare to ask, you discussed with the eldest aunt and the third aunt before, but this scripture was newly copied by the eldest sister?" ”
As she spoke, she pointed to the big case.
On the case of the inlaid luodian lacquer, there was a piece of paper spread out, and the scripture copied on it was shaky, so that anyone could see it at a glance.
Before Chen Ying entered the house, Xu took this piece of paper to talk to Mrs. Xu, and later because of the matter of Wei Sheng, Xu put the paper on the case.
Old Madam Xu looked at Chen Ying scrutinizing for a while, and then said, "Exactly." Before you came, your aunt was talking to me about this. ”
When Chen Ying heard this, a trace of understanding crossed her face, and she said calmly: "Granddaughter asks again, the eldest aunt talked to you, but the eldest sister's words are getting better and better, or is the eldest sister practicing a new font, etc., and so on?" ”
Old Madam Xu didn't speak, but the Shen family on the side laughed strangely: "Yo, what's the matter, did you inquire about the news with the girls before you entered the house?" As he spoke, he shook his head again, and said disapprerovingly: "Tsk, you also inquire about the affairs in the elder's room?" Where have you learned this rule? ”
Indeed, the most direct way to know the movements of Mingyuantang is to ask the maid for news. Not only did the Shen family think so, but the Xu family and Mrs. Xu also thought so.
However, Chen Ying's answer disappointed Shen again.
I saw that the third girl shook her head solemnly and said, "There is no need to inquire about this matter at all, you just need to put the matter of Wei Sheng in it and think about it, and you can figure it out." ”
At this point, a smile seemed to well-emerge from her watery eyes, and she said, "Of course, my niece's luck is indeed good. It just so happened that today's search found something that was beautiful, and it happened that when I came over, my aunt was talking to my grandmother about writing and paper, which can be regarded as God helping me. ”
Hearing this, Xu's heart moved slightly.
Chen Ying opened her mouth these times, and every time she said it was on paper and big characters.
Could it be ...... What does the Nightmare have to do with it?
Thinking about it, she looked up at Chen Ying, with a very peaceful smile on her gentle face: "Listen to the meaning of the three girls, isn't it this nightmare thing, and it is also related to the words and paper?" ”
"The eldest aunt is clever." Chen Ying nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "That paper figure was quietly sandwiched in my paper box." ”
Xu Shi was slightly stunned, and then he hit the soles of his feet with a chill, and his complexion changed.
If this is the case, then what she just proposed to Old Madam Xu ......
As soon as the thought turned here, Xu's already unsightly face suddenly turned a little pale.
At this time, Wen Chen Ying continued: "If I guessed correctly, did the eldest aunt take the opportunity to read the handwriting paper to her grandmother and read the words of several of our juniors?" ”
Xu Shi didn't speak, only nodded with a white face.
She did propose it this way, and Old Madam Xu agreed.
Chen Ying's handwriting is not good, her embroidery work is poor, and her reading is very average, which is not a secret in the house, and Mrs. Xu also knows what those female masters say about her.
The reason why Xu proposed this was nothing more than to suppress Chen Ying's limelight.
Chen Lu, Chen Xiang and other sisters were all punished, but Chen Ying was the only one who had nothing to do, and Xu felt very uncomfortable, so he had the above proposal. But she never thought that such a trivial matter would be linked to the thing of Nightmare Sheng.
What's even worse is that when she asked the old lady to read the big characters, Chen Lu specially mentioned it to her yesterday, and she was moved, so she presented it to Mrs. Xu.
As soon as he thought of this, Xu's slightly pale face began to turn blue, and he only felt that his heart was cold and wet, as if he had been drenched in a cold sweat.
Chen Ying naturally noticed her change, but she didn't see it, and still continued: "If the eldest aunt's proposal is approved by grandmother, then, maybe within a day or two, someone will go to Mingfeng Pavilion and ask me to write big characters." ”
When she said these words, her tone was very calm, and the breath on her body was as transparent as water: "I guess that when the time comes, someone will definitely bring over the whole box of my writing paper, and this thing of beauty will surely appear at that time." ”
"Three girls, what do you mean by that?" Xu's "Du" pressed the handkerchief a few times, and his expression was no longer as gentle as before, but his face sank like water: "The eldest aunt can say ugly things in front, this matter has nothing to do with our long room, you had better think clearly before you speak." ”
"Auntie, please don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Chen Ying looked at her seriously, her expression still calm.
Xu Shi glanced at her coldly, turned his head to look at Mrs. Xu, and his voice suddenly turned to grievance: "The old lady is above, what kind of person is the daughter-in-law, the old lady knows better than anyone else." The daughter-in-law will leave the words here, our long house can't do this kind of indiscriminate thing, I hope the old lady will see it. ”
At the end of her words, she pressed the corner of her eye with a handkerchief.
She asked the old lady to check the big characters on the front foot, and Chen Ying said on the back foot that the things of Wei Sheng were hidden in the word box, and the long room was almost lifted to the surface, and she was anxious.
Old Madam Xu looked at her, but did not say anything to comfort her, only picked up the teacup, stared at the tea in the cup and said, "Three girls, you make your words clearer." ”
did not say anything about Xu's statement, but did not say anything to stop Chen Ying, but allowed her to continue to analyze, which can be regarded as standing on Chen Ying's side in disguise.
