Chapter 128: The human heart is unpredictable
Second Mrs. Xue arrived at the old lady's house very early, and she specially put a hairpin on her head that Rong Hua gave her yesterday.
The second wife smiled and said, "The things that the second nephew and daughter-in-law bought are very beautiful, and they just match my clothes." ”
The old lady was also happy when she looked at it, "Rong Hua is a person with a heart, and he still thinks about the people at home wherever he goes." ”
The second wife picked up the handkerchief and covered her mouth and smiled: "Mother, you forgot, the daughter-in-law said that she was a good person when she saw her for the first time, and the Tao family is also a big family, even if there are many brothers and sisters in the direct line, so the children from the family are always not bad." ”
The old lady nodded.
Speaking of the Tao family, the second wife's face was a little uncomfortable, "Rong Hua, this child is not easy, there are a lot of things on her mother's side these days, and she is also busy on both sides." ”
The old lady didn't know what was going on, she just thought it was because her in-laws' wife was sick, so she sighed, "It is also appropriate for the mother's family to do her filial piety, she has only one brother in her family, and she is still young, and she can only rely on these daughters to help her on weekdays." ”
The second lady saw that the old lady seemed to be confused, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Mother, haven't you heard, there has been some chaos in the Tao family recently, and the husband and wife of the second lady Tao who came to our house last time don't know how to kill someone...... Also, the ...... over there in Suncheonfu"
The second lady's voice became lower and lower, and the old lady's face gradually became cloudy.
After a while, the second wife went out of the house, and the old lady went into the suite to rest after breakfast, and Mother Li stepped forward and whispered, "The second wife also knows." ”
The old lady said: "Even if others don't know, they can't escape her eyes, I'm afraid she knows the things in this house better than me." ”
Mother Li pondered the meaning of the old lady, "What do you think?" Is it to find someone to ask Shuntianfu or ......" came back from the palace yesterday, and the old lady also said that the second granddaughter-in-law still has a few points of boudoir beauty, and the old lady has not really praised anyone for a long time.
Maybe the old lady likes this granddaughter-in-law.
The old lady shook her head.
Mother Li's eyes flashed and stepped forward, "Then you want to see what she will do?" ”
The old lady said: "She should have known about this matter a long time ago, but she has not revealed it, either she hides it well, or she doesn't care." ”
Mother Li said: "That's also there, after all, it's a concubine." Besides, looking at the meaning of the Tao family, I didn't want Miss Eight to marry in, and it goes without saying that when Miss Eight got married, if it wasn't for our bride price, the Tao family would send half of the dowry. Besides, Mrs. Tao made trouble, not all because she married a concubine, not a concubine. ”
"If it weren't for Master Hou's insistence, today's situation would have been swapped between the young lady and the second lady."
The old lady let out a long sigh of relief, "Miss Tao Er's illness is really not good, and she is old. ”
Mother Li nodded, where is it so simple for the young lady to marry into the Xue family, the old lady also tested the Hou Ye several times, and she didn't want to conflict with the Hou Ye in this regard, so she took care of both, so she chose a compromise method, and the old lady made a lot of concessions.
Fortunately, after the young lady entered the Xue family, she could still satisfy the old lady everywhere.
Mother Li said again: "I heard that Master Hou has been living recently, and the young lady has taken good care of her. "Let's just talk about the two big girls in the Hou Ye's house, the young lady actually treated it as if there was no such thing, there was no movement at all these days, which new lady didn't first find out the situation around her husband, but the new lady didn't care, don't look at it as a small thing, such thoughts are indeed not to be underestimated.
As he was talking, the outsider said, "The young lady is here." ”
Every day is so punctual, I just care about the old lady when I come, and I don't have anything else to say.
Rong Hua entered the old lady's room, brought tea and water, and then sat down and said with a smile: "I have to go back to my mother's house today." ”
The old lady said, "Go back, there's nothing going on here." ”
Rong Hua nodded and smiled, sat for a while and left.
Rong Hua went out, and the old lady instructed Li's mother, "Always follow the people who have passed, no matter who it is, let me be careful, and come back and tell me about it." ”
Mother Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, old lady, I'll arrange this matter." After a pause, he asked, "If the young lady asks the Hou Ye for help, do you want to ...... this matter?"
The old lady shook her head.
Mother Li immediately understood what the old lady meant. Although the young lady is a young lady, she was also raised by the Tao family. is not filial to the parents who raised her, and she expects her to be like to the elders in the house in the future. When he got married, he felt a level higher, and he didn't care about his mother's family, what kind of good-tempered person could he be.
Besides, if the Tao family is said to be accused of such a crime, if it is confirmed, it will be a big deal, and the old lady will naturally pay attention to it.
will not kill her own flesh and blood with her own hands, Li's mother thought about going out to make arrangements.
Rong Hua went to ask Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Xue to say goodbye, Chunyao asked in the house about last night's night duty, and it was originally arranged for Hongying to have one day and Hongyu one day. She remembered clearly that it was Hongying who came out of the house on the top of the deer yesterday morning, and it was Hongying who she met again this morning, which meant that Hongyu had been on duty in the main house for two days in a row.
Since his wife got married, Hou Ye went back to sleep in the room every day, and saw that his wife's small days were in these few days, and there were no maids in the house.
Chunyao called Hongyu and Hongying over for questioning.
Hongyu looked at Chun Yao, her eyes flickering.
Chunyao said: "Madame has lifted you up by letting you watch the night, if you don't know what to do, see who in this room can tolerate it." ”
Hongyu's face turned pale suddenly, but she was afraid that Chunyao would take advantage of this to attack her, and she didn't know what to do.
Hongying has already said: "Sister, don't blame, although we and my sister were brought from home by our wife, but after all, my sister and my wife have been together for a long time, unlike our sisters...... A few days ago, Mrs. finally gave us an errand, we were afraid that we would not be able to do well, and the night before I suddenly had a stomach upset, and I didn't dare to make a noise, so I let Hongyu replace me. ”
Chunyao said: "Since this is the case, I should have said it earlier, why bother to ask you today." ”
Hongyu Hongying glanced at each other and said busily: "Sister taught me a lesson." ”
Chunyao said: "The lady is married, we should all be considerate, everything else is okay, especially in the house." ”
Hongyu didn't speak, but Hongying pushed her, and Hongyu said with Hongying: "Sister, don't worry, I won't dare to do this in the future." ”
Chunyao explained a few more words to Hongying and Hongyu before going out.
Chunyao walked away, Hongying looked at Hongyu and said: "I told you a long time ago, I want them to know about this, but you don't want to listen, I think I have something, what else can we do between our sisters?" I'm afraid of being asked by any of them. ”
Hongyu lowered her eyes uncomfortably, paused and took Hongying's hand, "Good sister, it's all my fault." ”
Hongying also lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, "What else is there to say between us." ”
Hongyu raised her head and glanced at the outside, "I just can't be angry with her, use that kind of words to point us, who doesn't know what she is thinking in her heart." I've seen how many serious girls have done a lot of amazing things. ”
Hongying only said: "It's all a later story." ”
Here Rong Hua wanted to go back to the Tao family, Chunyao and Jinxiu had just prepared everything, Gao Jinrui's family hurriedly ran over, Mu Hibiscus stopped outside and didn't stop, Gao Jinrui went straight into the house and knelt on the ground all of a sudden, "Young lady, can you not let me go to Zhuangzi, I have never been to that kind of place, in the house for all these years, the eldest lady has not used me less, this time I followed Mrs. over, and I also wanted to serve Mrs. well." ”
Looking at the anxious appearance of Gao Jinrui's family, Rong Hua smiled, the news spread quickly, "Before I came, my mother also said that among these people, the most useful one is your family, and now I am in trouble, thinking about it carefully, I can use it with you and Feng Lichang's family, and I also want to ask you to come over to discuss these two days, but I didn't think you came first." ”
Gao Jinrui's family secretly gritted their teeth when they heard this, last night they heard Feng Lichang's family and the girl talking on the side, saying that the young lady was going to throw her to the Zhuangzi, she was so shocked that she didn't sleep all night, and now listening to the young lady's words, it seems that the candidate has not been decided. The young lady didn't say anything to her, but she came to the door by herself, and Gao Jinrui's family couldn't help but baffle.
Rong Hua said: "I think you all know that the old lady gave me two Zhuangzi, otherwise you wouldn't have come to tell me about it." ”
Gao Jinrui's family explained curtly, "The slaves and maids are all concerned about the affairs of the young lady, so they ......."
Rong Hua took the tea in hand and drank it, "Since you have said this, you can go back and think about it clearly and then tell me, whether Zhuangzi is going or not?" ”
Gao Jinrui's family was taken aback.
Is Zhuangzi going or not? Such words did not seem like a negotiated tone, especially the young lady's eyes were lowered and there was no smile on her face, which made her feel a chill in her heart, and some words could not be said when they came to her mouth, and she suddenly did not dare to refuse immediately. Thinking about Feng Lichang's family again, they have always been cautious, and never said a word in front of her, how could it be so coincidental, those words were listened to by her.
Could it be that Feng Lichang's family deliberately asked her to listen to this, so that she could come to Madame and refuse this errand?
The more Gao Jinrui's family thought about it, the more they thought.
When Miss Eight got married, she thought that she had gained a lot of benefits, and the eldest lady shared a share of the monthly money, and Miss Eight still had to give a share as usual, and their family's monthly money doubled all of a sudden. Besides, she came to the Xue family to be the eyes and ears of the big wife, even if Miss Eight understood it in her heart, she didn't dare to do anything to her.
But today it seems...... Nothing was as good as she thought it would be.
sent away Gao Jinrui's house, Rong Hua took Jinxiu into the carriage.
They all said that they were not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if they didn't do bad things, and the bones of the fifth lady were dug up, how about the Tao family? Tao Zheng'an and the eldest wife must have been panicked for the past two days.
If she had said anything more, the truth might have come out from that night a few years ago.
Rong Hua closed his eyes and listened to the clear sound of horses' hooves outside.
So close to the moment she thought in her heart.
What should Rong Hua do?
