Jin Chao instructed Cai Fu to light a furnace of mint incense. The cool scent gradually came, and her fingers gently clasped the bookcase.

Mother Xu let the other girls go out, she helped Jin Chao light another lamp, and opened the brocade box of scriptures copied by Jin Chao and sorted them out one by one.

Jin Chao's eyes were on the scriptures she had transcribed, and he suddenly asked, "Mother Xu, did Aunt Du originally believe in Buddhism?" ”

Mother Xu put down the brocade box and replied to her words: "The slave maid can't remember it clearly, but although Aunt Du is wearing gold and silver, she wears a string of old mountain sandalwood Buddha beads on her left hand all the year round. In her early years, she was the master's roommate, and she followed the master out of her ancestral family, and she was illiterate. A girl who has a room, she will definitely not believe it......"

Jin Chao thought for a while and asked again: "I remember that I went back to the Gu family when I was five years old, and Aunt Song was not favored at that time. It seems that Aunt Du is her father's favorite, and her mother also rewarded her with a pomegranate carved from Hetian jade, which means that there are many sons and many blessings. ”

Mother Xu nodded and said, "Aunt Du was the most favored before, but since Aunt Yun's death, it seems that she gradually doesn't like to compete for favor." ”

Jin Chao was even more sure in his heart. Aunt Song said that she had Aunt Du's handle in her hand, and this handle was related to Aunt Yun. She can use this handle to threaten Aunt Du, it must not be a good thing, Aunt Yun has been dead for so long, so what else can she do!

…… It could only be Aunt Yun's death!

She had thought about this problem before, if her mother was not the one who harmed Aunt Yun, Aunt Yun would not have died accidentally. The most likely thing is the hand of a few aunts! At that time, she guessed Aunt Song, after all, she was favored after Aunt Yun's death...... But she didn't expect this Aunt Du, who likes to flatter and please others.

Jin Chao suddenly remembered that in the first seven days of his mother, Aunt Du cried to her mother and fainted several times. She doesn't look like such a person in her life, could it be because of guilt that she is so excited. Obviously, she harmed people, but she was planted on her mother's head! She must have felt guilty.

Why did Aunt Du harm Aunt Yun?

Jin Chao thought for a while and asked Xu's mother, "...... Originally, did Aunt Du and Aunt Yun have any holidays? ”

Mother Xu was stunned, why did the eldest lady suddenly care so much about Aunt Du's affairs. She suddenly remembered the words that the girl had just relayed: "...... Aunt Song said that she had Aunt Du's handle, and it was about Aunt Yun, so that the second lady could ask Aunt Du for help if she had something. ”

Could it be that the eldest lady is thinking......

She was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly tried to recall: "...... Among the original three aunts, Aunt Du was the most favored. Later, Mrs. carried Aunt Yun for the master, and if Aunt Du wanted to say that she was not uncomfortable, it would definitely be impossible, but even so, it was impossible for her to really do anything out of the ordinary...... But when you say that, I think of one thing. ”

Jin Chao looked at Xu's mother and motioned for her to continue.

Mother Xu said: "Don't look at the third lady's gentle and cold temperament now, in fact, she was very lively when she was young. I like to climb up and down in my wife's room, and one day I hid in the cabinet to play, and I almost held my breath. At that time, you were not with Madame, and Madame treated Madame Sansi as well as she did to you...... When Aunt Yun was more than six months pregnant, she came to talk to her wife one day, and the third lady played shuttlecock with the girl in the house, and accidentally kicked Aunt Yun's stomach......"

“…… Aunt Yun was in great pain at that time, and the old man hurriedly asked the doctor to see that the child in her womb was fine. But the old man punished the third lady for two days of confinement in the ear room. It was very dark in the ear room, and the third lady was the most scared, so frightened that she cried. Madame was in a hurry, and she didn't dare to disobey the master's order to let the third lady out. Later, when I took the third lady out, I was already scared and had a high fever, and then I didn't like to talk when I woke up......"

There is such a thing!

Jin Chao thought for a long time after hearing this.

How can there be a mother who doesn't love her children, because of Gu Yi's matter, Aunt Du will want to harm Aunt Yun, that is also possible.

Aunt Song knew that Aunt Yun was harmed by Aunt Du, and even wanted to use this as a lever to threaten Aunt Du. She knew it, but she still found Yuping to frame her mother, and caused her mother to hang herself. She's really vicious!

She wants to clear her mother's name, but her mother is dead, and she can't still bear the reputation of being jealous.

Jin Chao didn't speak for a long time, but these things were just speculation, and she didn't have any evidence in her hands to confirm it.

Will Aunt Du admit this? She's not stupid, and she can't protect herself if she admits it.

…… She needed to find a way to get Aunt Du to admit it herself.

Jin Chao thought for a long time before he said to Xu's mother, "...... You went to find a jade stone house and carved a pomegranate of Hetian jade, the kind that wants to be dewed, and the fist size is the best. ”

Xu's mother knew that this matter was important, so she personally went out of the house to explain to someone to do it.

The Jin Dynasty spends all day in Qingtong Courtyard, either being a female celebrity or writing. Not only did I make a pillow, but I also made a plain satin hand stove cover made of lake water, and I made a light yellow persimmon pattern skirt for myself. She didn't go to Linyan Pavilion once, Aunt Song is pregnant with a child now, so it's better for her to avoid it.

After inviting Mr. Xiao to be treated, Aunt Song was a lot more stable, and she no longer made a fuss about her stomachache, maybe she was afraid that Jin Chao would think of another way to deal with her, or she might be waiting for Mrs. Song to help their mother and daughter.

After Gu Lan went out for a long time, a mother-in-law secretly came to report that they did not go to Ciguang Temple, but went to Daxing County along the official road.

Jin Chao nodded to indicate that she understood, and said, "...... Just keep watching. ”

When Xu's mother came back with an agarwood-colored brocade box, Lin Yanxie had just passed the news.

Xu's mother opened the brocade box, Jin Chao picked up the jade pomegranate and looked at it, the jade quality is warm, the carving is exquisite, and it is rare to have a good product. After putting down the jade pomegranate, she said to Xu's mother: "Today, the grass warbler is talking back and forth, saying that my aunt has always been sleeping unsteadily recently, and she will be woken up in the middle of the night. My appetite is also much worse, and I feel weak all day long. Jin Chao knew that it was the medicine that worked, paused, and said lightly, "You look at the need to replenish your aunt's body, and you have to add more to everything you eat on weekdays, but you can't let your aunt say where she is unwell again......

Mother Xu naturally understood what Jin Chao meant, and promised to go.

Jin Chao took the jade pomegranate to Tongruo Tower to see Aunt Du.

Jin Chao's guess was right, after Ji's death, Aunt Du has always felt very guilty in her heart. Knowing that Ji died because she was wrongfully hanged, she was shocked at that time...... She didn't know that the Ji clan would be so resolute! After Ji's burial, she has been unstable, and she has to recite scriptures every day and incense the Bodhisattva every day to feel better.

I was worried, but in a month, I lost a lot of weight.

When the girl came to tell the news that the eldest lady was coming, she was still chanting Buddha. I hope that Ji's will be able to give birth as soon as possible...... After all, the Ji family also died because of her.

She invited Jin Chao to meet her in the western room, and asked the girl to make tea with a cup of orange preserves.

Jin Chao glanced at Aunt Du, the Buddha beads in his left hand were hidden under the sleeves, and his pale fingers were unconsciously curled up. Aunt Du didn't wear gold or silver, and her face was not smeared with grease and powder, but she looked more delicate.

…… has such a look when he is old, no wonder he was favored back then.

Jin Chao smiled, asked Qingpu to hand her the brocade box, and opened it to Aunt Du: "...... A few days ago, I cleaned up my mother's private vault and found a lifelike jade pomegranate and brought it to my aunt. I remember when I was a child, my mother also gave you a jade pomegranate, and I don't know if it was a pair. ”

Jin Chao took a sip of orange candied fruit to make tea, he was really not used to drinking this kind of sweet and greasy tea, and continued to smile after putting it down: "I remember that my mother is also the best for Sister Yi, I came back from the Ji family when I was a child, and I will be envious when I see it!" Before her mother died, she helped Sister Yi settle her family, and asked me to help Sister Yi, saying that Sister Yi would help with the affairs of the inner courtyard...... It's really not worse than for me. ”

Aunt Du smiled, the Ji family helped Gu Yi decide the family affairs of the Gu family in Wuqing, and she was indeed extremely grateful.

Jin Chao continued: "...... I thought about waiting for Sister Yi to get married, and give her something from her mother's dowry. Although the sisters look similar, you also know that your father treats Sister Lan best, and Sister Yi and Sister Xi are inevitably worse...... I helped Sister Yi add boxes, and when she arrived at the Du family in the future, others would not embarrass her. What does my aunt think? ”

If Gu Jinchao can add a box to Gu Yi, it is naturally a good thing! Aunt Du was very happy for Gu Yi, but she didn't understand what the eldest lady was doing when she came to tell her. If you want to say that you want to be good friends with her, she is an aunt who is not favored, why should the eldest lady bother with this.

She thought for a while and said, "The third miss is blessed, it's rare to have the eldest lady to help her!" ”

Jin Chao smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, I also feel sorry for Sister Yi." Listening to Xu's mother, Sister Yi was confined by her father when she was a child, and she had a high fever when she was released, and since then she has not been as lively as before. At that time, it seemed to have kicked Aunt Yun in the stomach and almost injured her child...... I don't know if my aunt still remembers? ”

Jin Chao looked at Aunt Du carefully, and after hearing her say these words, Aunt Du's expression became obviously nervous, and her face became whiter.

"I don't remember exactly......" she smiled reluctantly.

Jin Chao retracted his gaze and asked softly, "Auntie can't remember such an important matter, the matter of changing Aunt Yun's medicine...... You're definitely not remembering it well. ”

When Aunt Du heard Jin Chao say the last sentence, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up from the embroidery pier! RS
