When Du Mingxin heard her say this, the smile on his face became even more arbitrary: "Let's just say that I put more sugar in that bowl, why did my aunt say anything that hurt me or not?" ”

Aunt Liu regretted that she would lose too much, and now she closed her mouth tightly, and her two eyes were just looking at the movement outside.

"My aunt cares about my sister, it's really touching the mother-daughter relationship." Du Ming said faintly, "But I asked myself for 17 years, I have never had a bad thought of my aunt and sister, why did my aunt do such a ruthless thing?" ”

Aunt Liu was still speechless.

The curtain flickered outside, but it was the second master who came back humming a little song.

"What's wrong?" He sensed that the atmosphere in the back room was not right, and restrained his expression.

Aunt Liu lowered her head and said softly: "The second girl kept asking why the concubine poisoned her...... The concubine was just sick because of herself, so she sent a bowl of soup and medicine to the past, and asked the second girl to go to the cold. I don't know how this kindness has become harmful? ”

Du Mingxin didn't say much, only instructed Qiu Lin: "Go and bring the bowl of medicine in my house." She turned her head to Aunt Liu and smiled: "If my aunt dares to drink this bowl of medicine in front of me and my father, I will immediately kneel down and make amends to my aunt." ”

Having said that, no matter how confused the second master is, he knows that there is something wrong with the medicine. He frowned and asked Aunt Liu, "What does Sister Xin'er mean by this?" ”

Aunt Liu heard Du Mingxin say that the medicine was still in her room, so she put her mind at ease, took out the handkerchief from her arms, squeezed her eyes, and tears rolled down. "Sir, you ask me, who do I ask? The second girl just said that the medicine boiled for her was brought to the eldest girl's room by mistake, and then she said that the medicine was still in her room......"

She raised her teary eyes, stretched out her hand to pull the sleeve of the second master, and said with a sad voice: "Master, how many people's hands did this bowl of medicine go through from grabbing the medicine, boiling it, to the maid walking into the houses?" How can the second girl insist that it is me? That decoction has been in the second girl's house for so long, and this can be used to ...... feet."

"The second girl said that the human and physical evidence are all there, but how can the physical evidence be counted?" Aunt Liu's crying was very successful, crying and talking, and occasionally coughing and wheezing, which really made people feel that she was very aggrieved.

"Even this person's certificate," she stretched out her slender finger and pointed to Qiulin who was cowering in the corner, "she has served by the second girl's side since she was a child, and she was always in one place when she was on the Zhuangzi, how can she count what she said?" ”

Du Mingxin didn't cry, but just folded his skirt and bowed: "It's about my daughter's life, and I ask my father to uphold justice." ”

The second master asked hesitantly, "Since no one drank that decoction, why are you all so sure that it is poisonous?" ”

The two people on the other side both looked awe-inspired. Aunt Liu is sure because she is the Lord's messenger. Du Ming's heart is determined because of his previous life.

"If the father does not believe, let him go with his daughter and examine it." Du Mingxin looked at her father's indifferent expression, and her heart gradually sank.

Sure enough, the second old man waved his hand and said, "Aunt Liu is right, a bowl of soup and medicine, how many people handle it, it is really difficult to say who gave the medicine." Moreover, if there is a big trouble, it is necessary to find someone from the hospital to go to the yamen. We are a big family, and we are in a hurry to enter Beijing and hurry, how can we have spare time to stay here for many days? ”

Du Ming's heart was desolate, it turned out that this was his father.

When other people's fathers heard that their children were being bullied, they came to the door to theorize, directly typed them, and comforted their children with soft words. Has anyone ever seen that seeking justice for their daughter is a waste of time?

"My daughter knows." Du Ming stiffly saluted his father, turned around and prepared to go out.

"Sister Xin," the second master swallowed with difficulty and said, "No one will delve into such a messy and clueless matter." The spread of the private affairs of the inner house is not very good for our family reputation and the reputation of your sisters. In the future, you are allowed to open your own kitchen for meals and medicine, can you rest assured? ”

"When I arrive in the capital, at my uncle's house, my father may be the master?" Du Ming said sarcastically.

"Yes, naturally." The second master patted his chest and promised, "That's not your uncle's house, that's our Du Mansion, the Du Mansion in the capital." ”

Du Ming was noncommittal, and only looked at Aunt Liu deeply before leaving.

"Sir!" When Aunt Liu saw Du Mingxin leaving, she finally couldn't help crying, "Now it's only halfway through, and the second girl doesn't know anything, so she has already started to attack the two of us." If we go to the capital, will there be a way for me and Sister Yan to live? ”

The second master ignored her words, and just asked, "Did you do this?" ”

Aunt Liu's cry choked for a moment, and then she cried smoothly: "The concubine has been by your side for all these years, don't you know what kind of person she is?" This gratuitous end of a basin buckled on the head, you might as well let me die! With that, she struggled to get out of bed.

The second master pushed her back and said sharply: "It's good if it's not you!" You have heard me clearly, if you dare to attack Sister Xin'er and ruin my future, don't say it's you, even Sister Yan can't keep it! ”

Aunt Liu looked at the second old man with a greatly changed expression in horror, and the rest of the cry was swallowed back.

Early in the morning of the second day, everyone in Du Mansion had breakfast and hurried on their way. Du Mingyan deliberately walked in front of Du Mingxin before getting into the carriage, and smiled proudly: "Thank you sister for your kindness!" Or do you know the rules and know that if you offend your elders, you should make amends. It's a pity," she reached out and touched the pearl green on her head, and said with an exaggerated smile, "I like all the ones that my sister asked people to take yesterday, and I can't pick out any of them!" I had to stay, but it seems that my sister apologizes sincerely! ”

Du Mingxin glanced at her coldly, turned around and helped Xia Ye's hand into the carriage.

"Some people just think they are smart, who knows that stealing chickens will not succeed, but will eat a handful of rice!" Du Mingyan smiled openly. As soon as he laughed twice, he was scolded by the second master: "Do you understand the rules?" What are you laughing out there about? ”

When Du Mingxin in the carriage heard this, he didn't have the slightest happiness in his heart. escaped the disaster of dying in his teens, and knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was Aunt Liu, what if he could? Du Mingxin wrapped the thin blanket on his body tightly, his father was unreliable, completely unreliable.

Along the way, I hurried and hurried, and finally advanced to the capital after the second snow fell in the second month of Layue.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Mr. Jiang broke up with the Du family, saying that he was going to his old friends to reminisce about the old days, and it was useless for the second master to keep him in every possible way.

The Du family's house in the capital is located in Yushu Hutong, not far from the imperial city, and it was the proud work of the old lady Du back then. Zhilan Yushu, with a good name and a good location, is not something that can be bought by people like the Du family who have been poor for a long time.

The carriage carrying the household utensils went around to the back door, and the ladies got off at the second gate. Du Mingxin raised his eyes and saw a smiling middle-aged woman waiting there with three women.

"Sister Xin'er is finally here!" The middle-aged woman smiled, and quickly stepped forward to take her hand, "But I think badly of the old lady, your eldest uncle and me!" ”
