"Sisi, what is this doing?" The old lady asked with a frown as she glanced around the room.
Qiu He's eyes were sharp, and at a glance she saw the blood stains on the sleeves of the white middle coat that the maid on the ground did not cover, she stepped forward and tore off the coat that was put on the maid's body, and saw that the maid's body was crisscrossed with several blood stains, and at a glance, she knew that it was pulled out with a whip.
Qiu He looked around again, and saw a whip lying behind the chair next to her, which was still stained with blood, she wrapped it in a handkerchief and picked it up and came to the old lady and Zhou, "Old lady, big lady, look. ”
The old lady looked at the pale and shrunken maid on the ground, and then at the whip in front of her, her face was dark, and she asked again seriously: "Sisi, what are you doing?!" ”
"Auntie, I ...... I ......" Lu Sisi's lips trembled, his face turned pale, his eyes were full of panic, and he didn't know how to explain.
"Can't tell? Come on! The old lady turned her head to look at Shiso and said coldly.
Shisu knelt on the ground with a puff, trembling, "Old lady, big lady, yes...... It's Xing'er, the girl who made a mistake, and the girl is teaching her a lesson. ”
"What mistake did you make to be locked up in the house like this and taught a lesson?" Zhou's face was cold, and he asked Qiu He to check the injuries on Xing'er's body, and Qiu He finished checking and said, "There are still a lot of old injuries underneath, this is not the first time." ”
The old lady's face darkened even after hearing this, she looked down at Xing'er, and said sharply: "Say, why did your girl beat you with a whip?" ”
Xing'er shrunk back, her face pale and she kept silent.
The old lady slapped the table hard, "Say it quickly, I'll call the shots for you today!" ”
Hongyun couldn't bear to look at Xing'er on the side, and persuaded softly: "Say it quickly, the old lady and the eldest lady in our house are the most kind-hearted, as long as you tell the truth, they will help you, and you won't have to live this kind of life in the future." ”
Tears welled up in Xing'er's eyes, and she finally opened her mouth tremblingly, "Because...... Because of the young master of the big cousin, the young master of the big cousin helped me send the clothes back, and when he saw that I was not very good, he asked a few more questions, and the girl thought that I was seducing the young master of the eldest cousin......"
The old lady's hands trembled with anger when she heard this, and she looked at Lu Sisi incredulously, "...... Just for this little thing, you are privately punishing someone? ”
"Auntie, yes...... It's Sisi's mistake, and Sisi cares too much about her eldest cousin. Lu Sisi bit her lip, tears hung on her cheeks, trembling her thin body, and sobbed: "Sisi's father was seduced by the maid next to his mother in this way before, and he washed his face with tears in the house all day long, Sisi has a shadow in his heart, so he is afraid that the eldest cousin will too, and Sisi likes the eldest cousin very much." ”
The old lady closed her eyes and said bitterly: "Even if your father is like this, it doesn't mean that all men in the world will be seduced by the maids around you. If he cares more about each maid, will you whip each of them with a whip? ”
"No, aunt and grandmother, Sisi won't be in the future. Sisi was happy with the eldest cousin, but the eldest cousin did not reply to Sisi's mind for a long time, and Sisi suffered from gains and losses, so he did such a ghostly thing. As long as...... As long as Sisi and the eldest cousin settle down and Sisi is at ease, he will never do such a thing again. Lu Sisi hurriedly shook his head and sobbed.
Zhou looked at Lu Sisi's delicate appearance of pear blossoms with rain, in addition to being incredible, he also felt a little cold in his heart. This girl has come to this point, and she is still thinking about marrying Yuan'er in every possible way. If she is really allowed to make a wish, will there be peace in the family house in the future?
The old lady didn't reply to her words, and seeing that the blood stains on Xing'er's body were dazzling, she instructed Hongyun, "Send her to the place where the maids in the side courtyard live, and then go and ask the doctor to come and see her." ”
Hongyun answered, and a few maids carefully helped Xing'er out, and the old lady also turned around and went out, and Zhou followed behind her.
"Auntie...... Aunt and grandmother ......" Lu Sisi staggered to the door, shouting in mourning, and the old lady did not turn her head.
"Girl, what can I do?" Shiso got up from the ground and asked in a panic.
"Slap" Lu Sisi's backhand was a slap, and a resentful expression was twisted on Pear Blossom's rainy face, "Waste!" You can't even look at the door! ”
Zhou and the old lady returned to Rongshan Hall, looked at each other for a moment, and the old lady sighed tiredly, "I thought Sisi was a gentle and lovely person, but I didn't expect that because Yuan'er cared more about her maid, she scolded people like this in private." ”
Zhou also sighed: "If I hadn't met it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't want to believe that Sisi is such a girl." ”
"I'm really old, and my vision is not accurate." The old lady closed her eyes tiredly, "I still want Yuan'er to marry her, if she really becomes the young lady of our house, will there be a peaceful life in the future?" ”
Zhou comforted: "Don't say that, you also want to choose a good daughter-in-law for Yuan'er." Our family and the Lu family move around less, and it is normal that they don't understand Sisi's conduct, and now they find out in time, and the matter of Yuan'er and Sisi has not been decided, just think that you miss your mother's family, simply ask Sisi to come and live for a while, and don't mention her and Yuan'er's affairs to the Lu family. ”
"That's it." The old lady sighed and nodded.
What happened in Wutong Garden that day, the maids in the courtyard all saw it, and the second day after the banquet, it spread throughout the entire Guogong Mansion, and the people whispered when they saw Lu Sisi, and the old lady's attitude towards her was also cold, and she sent a letter to the Lu family, and asked her to pack Lu Sisi's luggage and send her back to Yunzhou.
"Madam, come to the front yard and say that you have sent the girl from the Lu family away." Zhou was reading the account book in the study, and Qiu He came in to pray.
"Hmm." Zhou nodded, knowing that the old lady was going to send her back to Yunzhou, Lu Sisi cried several times with the old lady, and cried to see the old lady before getting into the carriage today, which made the house unpeaceful, but fortunately sent it away.
"Let's go, come with me to see the big girl." Zhou closed the account book and walked out of the study to Ji Yunshu's courtyard.
Ji Yunshu was tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and when she saw her mother coming, she handed the scissors to the maid beside her, and stepped forward with a smile: "Mother, why are you here?" ”
"The front yard sent Sisi away, my mother came to ask you, you and your brother knew about Sisi beating and scolding her maid in private, why didn't you tell me and your grandmother directly, but we want to set up a banquet?" Zhou asked with a straight face.
Ji Yunshu explained with a smile, "Mother, tell you directly, where is more believable than seeing it with your own eyes." You also know that your grandmother likes Cousin Lu very much, and Cousin Lu is sweet and coaxing, so she said directly, even if you want to believe it, Grandmother is very likely not to believe it. And it will also make Cousin Lu take precautions, so it will not be so easy for her to be exposed. ”
"You and your brother are quite thoughtful." Zhou glanced at his daughter with both appreciation and helplessness, and asked, "When did you find out?" ”
Ji Yunshu said: "Actually, the first sister was unintentionally found that Xing'er had injuries on her body, and she was suspicious, so she asked Hongyun, who was waiting in Wutong Garden, to pay attention, and found the whip wound on Xing'er's body, so she suspected Cousin Lu. Every time Cousin Lu whipped Xing'er, it was my brother who had contact with Xing'er, so we devised a plan to deliberately let my brother pretend to care about Xing'er in front of Cousin Lu, and sure enough, as soon as my brother left, Cousin Lu whipped Xing'er in the house. This banquet was also an idea that the second sister came up with. ”
"It turned out to be the credit of Wan'er." Zhou listened.
Ji Yunshu said: "Yes, thanks to the second sister, otherwise my grandmother asked my brother to marry Cousin Lu, if I really marry in, I can't use a maid to serve in my brother's house, and I feel that the maid is seducing my brother at every turn, and my suspicion is so serious, how can my brother live with her for the rest of his life." ”
"So mother, you see, how good the second sister's cousin Miss Yan is, she and the second sister have similar temperaments, both are gentle and amiable, and the most important thing is that she is my brother's favorite, and she is really the best candidate to be my sister-in-law." Ji Yunshu paused and said with a smile.
Zhou nodded his daughter's forehead, "I should have known a long time ago, the old lady's snowball stuck in the tree on the day of the banquet, and you did it too, right?" deliberately asked Miss Yan to save the snowball in front of the old lady, and compared it with Sisi whipping someone in the house later, showing Miss Yan's gentleness and kindness. ”
"It's still smart to be smart, and you can see it." Ji Yunshu bent her eyes to compliment her mother, shook her mother's arm and said, "That mother helps to say good things in front of grandmother, my brother rarely has a crush, you must always help him." ”
"I also like Miss Yan, and I've been thinking about getting the old lady to accept Miss Yan, but Sisi is too good at pleasing the old lady, and I can't think of any good way. I didn't expect to be found by a few of you, which saved me a lot of effort. Zhou patted her daughter on the shoulder, "You have done so much, my mother can't be idle anymore, and the rest of the things that the old lady agrees to will be handed over to my mother." ”
"Thank you, mother, it's so good." Ji Yunshu smiled and hugged her mother's arm.
Coming out of Ji Yunshu's house, Zhou whispered a few words to the maid, asked her to go to Ye's place, and then took Qiuhe to the old lady's Rongshan Hall.
The old lady hadn't slept well in the past two days, and was sitting on the couch with her eyes half-closed, and the two maids kneeling on the side to massage her legs.
After Zhou went in and saluted, and sat down at the bottom, the old lady asked, "People sent away?" ”
Zhou said: "I sent it away, and the people in the front yard said that they were still crying when they got into the carriage." ”
"Why are you embarrassed to cry, she has such a character of being a person in front of her and behind her, expecting me to let Yuan'er marry her?" The old lady frowned, and said with disgust on her face.
Zhou smiled, and a maid outside the door lifted the curtain and came in to report, "Old lady, the second lady is here." ”
Ye came in and saluted, sat down opposite Zhou, and said, "Sister-in-law is also here, I heard that Sisi was sent away?" ”
Zhou nodded, "Just sent away, I was talking to the old lady about this just now." ”
"It's good to send it away, such a girl will be a trouble for our family after marrying into the family." Ye pursed his lips, his face was serious, then he glanced at the old lady, and said with a smile: "It's just that the old lady doesn't have the daughter-in-law in Yuan'er's picture, it's a pity." ”
