Chapter 429: Love and Righteousness (II)
At this time, a maid was sent over!
Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang were a little surprised.
Eleven Niang thought that Aunt Wen was also a member of the main house, her heart moved slightly, and she instructed the little maid: "Let her in!" ”
The little maid responded and led Donghong in.
"Master Hou, madam." She trembled, her eyes only looked at Xu Lingyi, and she looked scared.
Eleven Niang glanced at Xu Lingyi with a smile and beckoned Donghong: "Come, come to me." ”
Dong Hong walked to Eleven Niang as if she was on the edge of the abyss.
"Aunt Wen asked you to come to see me!" Eleven Niang kindly took her hand.
Dong Hong nodded hurriedly, and her eyes drifted towards Xu Lingyi again.
Xu Lingyi still doesn't understand. I coughed and went to the east time.
Seeing that there were only her and Eleven Niang in the house, Dong Hong was relieved, and couldn't help but let out a long breath, and hurriedly attached herself to Eleven Niang's ear and said, "Aunt said, let me only tell Madame." A few days ago, Aunt Qin asked her to help redeem a lot of gold, but in two or three months, it added up to more than two hundred taels. I don't know what Aunt Qin wants so much silver for? ”
Eleven Niang was slightly stunned, and when she saw Dong Hong looking at her cautiously, she hurriedly showed a smile: "You go back to Aunt Wen and say that I know." ”
Dong Hong was relieved, smiled and bowed to her knees, and retreated.
Xu Lingyi came in.
Eleven Niang told Xu Lingyi what Dong Hong said.
When Xu Lingyi heard this, his brows tightened: "Qin's? ”
"Hmm!" Eleven Niang muttered, "Aunt Wen has always been exquisite, and at this time, I am afraid that it is not so simple!" ”
Xu Lingyi bowed slightly, and was about to say something, when there was a sound of eager footsteps outside.
The little maid guarding the door just shouted "Fifth Master", the curtain was lifted, and Xu Lingkuan broke in.
His head and body were wet, his face was pale, and he shouted "Fourth Brother" when he entered the door, the corners of his mouth were slightly twitched, and he was about to say something, when he looked up and saw Eleven Niang, he pursed his mouth and swallowed the words, and then his expression paused slightly, slowed down his voice, and respectfully shouted "Fourth Sister-in-law".
"Fifth Master!" Eleven Niang greeted her with a smile and ordered Amber to serve tea.
Xu Lingkuan looked at Xu Lingyi, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and he obviously had something important to say to Xu Lingyi.
"I'll tell the little maid to bring a basin of hot water for the fifth master to wipe his face!" When Eleven Niang heard the news, she found an excuse to go to the east room.
As soon as she stood still, she heard a "clang" inside, making the sound of throwing porcelain.
"What did you say!" Xu Lingyi's deep voice was as thick as a dense dark cloud, and he could feel the suppression of being pressed by it through the curtain.
Eleven Niang's heart trembled, and she listened attentively, but she only heard Xu Lingkuan's slurred syllables for a while.
Amber had already led the little maid in to fetch hot water.
Eleven Niang motioned for her not to go in, and the two stayed in the east room.
Seeing that the steaming heat in the copper basin gradually dissipated, the curtain hung lightly, and there was no movement in the room.
Eleven Niang was secretly anxious in her heart, and she couldn't help but think about it.
What did Xu Lingkuan find? can make Xu Lingyi, who has always been calm, lose such a big temper. It hasn't appeared for so long, and the evidence is against Yanrong? Or is it bad for Aunt Qin? Or, a new discovery? and Aunt Wen, who hurriedly asked Dong Hong to hand herself such a sentence, is she reminding herself to pay attention to Aunt Qin? What did Aunt Wen find? If I ask her myself, I don't know if she will talk to her...... If this was really done by Aunt Qin, how did she do it?
She thought of Aunt Tong's death before, thought of the words "I owe Biyu" that Xu Lingyi hugged her and said, thought of Qiu Luo's death, thought of Qiu Luo's son's death, and even thought of Yuan Niang's death...... Once upon a time, she felt that as long as she was not curious to turn over those yellowed memories, these things would slowly disappear with the passage of time. But now, there seems to be a line that strings together the past and the future, so that people can't escape, and they can't avoid it.
Thinking about it, the curtain was opened with a bang. Xu Lingyi and Xu Lingkuan, who looked dignified, walked out one after the other.
"Master Hou!" Eleven Niang stood up involuntarily, with a few worries in her eyes.
Xu Lingyi saw it clearly, nodded at her comfortingly, and said, "Xiao Wu found a villain with a needle written on the eight characters of Brother Chen's birthday next to the steps of his mother's back door. ”
Witch!
The first thing that came to Eleven Niang's mind was Aunt Qin's name.
She looked at Xu Lingyi inquiringly.
Xu Lingyi's eyes were cold, his expression was stiff, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow.
Xu Lingkuan's eyes darkened slightly.
"Fourth sister-in-law, this matter is quite extensive." He said in a low voice, "You are pregnant now, don't worry about these messy things, there is me and the fourth brother!" It's not too early, you should rest early! ”
Eleven Niang bit her lip.
found out the villain who pricked the needle, which is completely different from the nature of pretending to be a ghost to scare people, that is, the prince will be abolished when he is involved in it, no wonder Xu Lingyi is furious. This matter itself is indeed not quite suitable for meddleling!
She nodded towards the Xu brothers, and was about to open her mouth to make a statement, but who knew that Xu Lingyi, who was cold-eyed and cold-faced, suddenly explained to her: "Those things will definitely be hidden in a secret place, and the best way is to search carefully inside and outside the house." But if you search for it like this, you may not be able to find anything. That's a big joke. We are allowed to ask Mrs. Tai to call Aunt Yi over and ask her if she knows anything! ”
Eleven Niang immediately understood.
Although they were suspicious of Aunt Qin, they were only suspicious after all. Dig three feet into the ground to find evidence, that's how it should be. I can't find any evidence, but the Xu brothers are incompetent, and maybe there are rumors that the Xu brothers did this in order to clear the eleventh mother and plant the blame on Aunt Qin. And they will startle the snake, and maybe they will never find a spellcaster.
The best way is to start from Aunt Yi, who is good friends with Aunt Qin, but Aunt Yi is a person from the third room, and it is not suitable for their brother to come forward to ask, so they can only invite Mrs. Tai to come forward. Even if she wronged Aunt Yi, it was Mrs. Tai who asked her to question, not to mention Aunt Yi's concubine of one of her sons, just the third lady, and the grievances given by Mrs. Tai could only be endured, and it would not seem too rude.
Since Mrs. Tai is going to come forward, who will take care of the unconscious Xu Sichen?
Eleven Niang pondered: "Then Brother Zhen's side ......"
"There's Mama Du." Xu Lingyi said, "You can rest for a long time!" Don't that one hasn't woken up yet, you're down again! ”
Xu Sizhen's kick always made him a little uneasy.
Also. At this time, everyone is busy, and if you don't mess with them, you can help.
"Then I'll bother the Hou Ye and the Fifth Master!" Eleven Niang cordially exchanged a few words with Xu Lingkuan, and Amber accompanied her to the east room.
This big thing happened in the family, and even the blind knew to be careful.
Madame Tai's residence was quiet, and the slightest sound was amplified.
Eleven Niang was lying on the beauty couch in the east room, hearing the little maid "Aunt Yi is here", hearing Mrs. Tai's vague reprimand, and hearing Aunt Yi's frightened rebuttal and pathetic cry...... When it quiets down there, it's already the next day's Yinzheng.
"Madam, I'll go see what's going on!" Amber's heart has been pinching, hoping that this matter will have a result soon, otherwise, after a long time, the matter of Yanrong's detention will be rumored, and the things that scare Xu Siyu will be done by them if they are not done.
No matter what time it is, gossip is loved by everyone. What's more, it is this kind of wealthy secrets involving stepmothers and sons, property disputes, murders, and so on. Naturally, the sooner a conclusion is reached, the sooner it will be settled, and it is better to keep the situation within certain norms.
"Be careful!" Eleven Niang told her, "Don't be reluctant! ”
lest you see something that you shouldn't see or hear something you shouldn't hear, and you go around yourself.
"Slave and maid saved!" Amber nodded invisibly and walked out the door lightly.
After about half a cup of tea, she folded back.
"Madame!" Her eyes were bright, and her face was full of joy, "Master Hou and Fifth Master went to Aunt Qin's place. ”
In this way, Xu Lingyi and Xu Lingkuan have already obtained evidence.
"Oh!" Eleven Niang perked up and pointed to the small pestle in front of the beauty's bed, "Tell me about it, what's going on!" ”
Amber half sat on the small pestle and said in a low voice: "As soon as Mrs. Tai lost her temper, Aunt Yi said ......it all like pouring beans from a bamboo tube."
According to Aunt Yi's statement. Aunt Qin has always been very worried about Xu Siyu, who is far away in Le'an, so she wants to ask someone to help Xu Siyu do a few rituals to bless Xu Siyu to be safe and smooth in his hometown. happened to encounter the Queen Mother's illness, and Mrs. Jining was invited by the Marquis of Jianning, and she was not idle. Aunt Qin inadvertently talked to her, she thought that Zhu Daopo, who used to walk around with the third lady's mother, was good at asking for peace charms and reciting mantras to clear her heart, which was very respected by the third lady's mother, and it was much cheaper than the price of Mrs. Jining. introduced Zhu Daopo to Aunt Qin. As a result, Aunt Qin and Zhu Daopo hit it off at first sight and often came and went. Aunt Qin often added some sesame oil money to Zhu Daopo's Taoist temple, and Zhu Daopo helped Xu Sichen light the ever-bright lantern, and recited a peace mantra for Xu Sichen every morning and evening.
Because Xu Lingyi didn't like Aunt Qin to burn incense and worship Buddha, Aunt Qin didn't dare to take Zhu Daopo to live at home, and only saw her at the back door. Sometimes it's inconvenient, so I ask her, a middleman, to help deliver a sentence or a sesame oil money.
Later, somehow, Aunt Qin suddenly began to reward Zhu Daopo with hundreds of taels and thousands of taels of silver. She became suspicious, and after several inquiries, she found that Aunt Qin had installed several gods behind the Nuan Pavilion Shrine according to what Zhu Daopo had taught.
She is also a person who understands this, and at a glance she knows that it is a formation to cast a witch spell. I couldn't help but be scared. After persuading her a few times, Aunt Qin was noncommittal. She wanted to tell Mrs. Tai about this, thinking that this Zhu Daopo was known to Aunt Qin by herself, and she didn't dare to say it for fear of being implicated. He who hesitated in this way dragged on.
Last night, Aunt Qin came to her house to visit the door, and she persuaded Aunt Qin for a long time, but Aunt Qin was impatient to listen to it, and left after sitting for less than half a cup of tea.
When Xu Lingyi sent someone to ask, she didn't know what was going on at the time, and she didn't think much about it, so she answered vaguely.
"In other words, this matter has nothing to do with her at all!" Eleven Niang smiled, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help flashing a hint of sarcasm, "Not only has it nothing to do with her, but she has also persuaded Aunt Qin bitterly!" ”
