The fourth wife said: "Have you told the fourth master?" ”

Yan Ling said: "Yes, the little guy outside went to tell the fourth master first." ”

The fourth wife nodded and looked at Rong Hua, "Your fourth uncle will naturally be fine if he goes to the front, as long as he explains to the yamen, Su will leave if he is not in the mansion for a long time." ”

Yanling had never gone through this, and at first glance the news was very shocking, but now she was relieved to see that the fourth lady had put things aside lightly. So the honest Su Jiujiu would actually kill someone, just thinking about it makes him feel terrified.

Rong Hua said: "You go down and listen first, and if there is something, come back to tell you." ”

Yan Ling replied and retreated.

Rong Hua looked at the fourth wife, if the fourth uncle could send the people of the yamen away so simply, it would naturally be good, and it was not that she was suspicious, now the Xue family has few people after all, and if it is calculated, it will really be ...... if it is calculated......

Rong Hua stood up, "Fourth aunt, let's go over and take a look at the old lady together!" Such a major event should have been known to the old lady a long time ago, but she didn't let people tell her because of the old lady's illness, but now that the yamen has found the door, she can't hide it even if she wants to.

Rong Hua and the fourth wife entered the house, and the second wife took Qian and Brother Run to talk to the old lady.

The second wife was complaining, "Although Mingbai was tired when he married, fortunately, there is a mother who presides over the overall situation, and now my mother will let me do it, I am afraid that there will be any omissions that will make people see the joke." The old lady smiled: "Now you know that it is difficult to marry a daughter-in-law?" You still complain, you know, I married four and came back. ”

The second wife laughed, "My mother has become a fine, and I can't find such a mother among thousands of people, where can we compare." ”

The old man said: "Mingbai's marriage is for me to help you, and when you come to Mingli, you have Chu Fang by your side, where can you still use my old bones." ”

Rong Hua and the fourth wife had already opened the curtain.

The second wife still said Qian's, "This child is heavy-hearted, I don't dare to use her, yesterday I just said that I want to make a pair of shoes for my mother to flush out the sickness, she heard that the old lady is uncomfortable, so she did a night of needlework in the house, but she made the shoes." ”

Rong Hua saw the new pink shoes on the old lady's feet at a glance.

The old lady also saw Rong Hua and the fourth wife, and beckoned them to come in and sit.

Rong Hua and the fourth wife stepped forward and saluted.

The second wife heard that something had happened to Su Chang in her yard, so she brought the Qian family to the old lady's house, not only praising the Qian family's filial piety, but also telling Xue Mingli about the preparation of the marriage. The second wife really sees the situation accurately and knows how to take advantage of the opportunity.

Rong Hua and the fourth wife sat down, and the second wife smiled and said, "Steward Zhang on Zhuangzi has sent a lot of wild things to the house. ”

Steward Zhang was picked up by the second wife, and he was in charge of the two Zhuangzi in the house, "On weekdays, a lot of things are sent to the house, all of which the old lady likes to eat, wild jī, wild duck, and wild duck, and the old lady is naturally smiling, "The imperial doctor just said that you can't eat meat, and he is now sending it to the house, just to make me slander." ”

Qian on the side said: "I also asked Lang Zhong, the fried bird that the old lady liked before can't be eaten, but it can be used to make soup, and the soup I cooked for the old lady last year The old lady still likes it." ”

The old lady nodded and smiled: "I also remember, the soup you made has some taste" It's just too cumbersome, a small bowl of soup is so exquisite, "You make it yourself, you can't tell people, you can't eat often." ”

Qian smiled slightly, "It's not troublesome, if the old lady likes it, it's easy to do it every day." ”

The second wife's eyes were curled, and she looked at Rong Hua and the fourth wife with a smile on her face, "Just make some more, let us all try it."

Only the old lady has eaten it, and we haven't touched it yet. ”

The old lady smiled: "Monkey, you are the best." The second wife smiled, and then looked at Qian's eyes with a little satisfaction. She didn't fancy Qian for a long time, but today she saw that something happened to the big house, and it was a good time, so she called Qian to bring Brother Run to the old lady's house. And he commanded that game should be brought into the house. Well, at this point, the second wife's eyebrows raised. It really took no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, and before she could find Rong Hua's fault, Rong Hua made a mistake by herself.

There are many people in the Xue family, and no one has ever committed such a big case outside, Rong Hua married into the Xue family and promoted Su Changchang's family, then Su Changjiu was just a handyman before, and now he has a momentum, where will he be safe, he even went to the gambling house and killed people, and now the people from the Yamen have come to the door...... "...... What the outside knows only says that Rong Hua used people improperly, and the subordinates were blinded by lard before they did this kind of thing. I don't know that the Xue family is such a family style, allowing people to be lawless. The reputation of the Xue family over the years was about to be ruined, how could the old lady sit idly by?

The old lady was so angry that she Tao Ronghua never wanted to raise her head in the Xue family all her life.

Second Mrs. Xue was thinking about it, she raised her head just to meet Rong Hua's bright eyes, those eyes seemed to be able to pierce people, Second Mrs. Xue was slightly stunned, and immediately came back to her senses, seeing that a catastrophe was coming, seeing how long Tao Ronghua could be proud.

The old lady was a little tired after talking to everyone for a while, and Second Mrs. Xue took Qian and Brother Run to take the first step. The fourth lady deliberately left Rong Hua to talk to the old lady, and also found an excuse to leave, only the old lady and Rong Hua were left in the house, Rong Hua tactfully talked about Su Changjiu, the old lady was not surprised, I think she already knew.

Rong Hua said: "Su Changjiu is not like that kind of person, only the people on the other side of the gambling house are identified, and the people outside know that there is no one in our family, even if some words are conclusive, they may not be true, not to mention that they have not seen Su Changjiu, so they can't draw conclusions." Saying that, he lowered his head, "It's always the people in my yard who have an accident, no matter what, Su hasn't returned to the house for a long time, it's me who didn't use people properly......"

The old lady sighed, "Since it is not clear yet, you should not take responsibility for yourself first, wait for your fourth uncle to come back, and listen to what the yamen has to say." ”

Rong Hua raised his head to look at the old lady again, "Su Changchang's affairs can always come to light, I'm just worried about the old lady's body, and the imperial doctor explained that the old lady can't work too hard, let alone get angry." As he spoke, his eyes lit up, "Especially now, the emperor is not in the capital, and our Xue family still has to rely on the old lady to speak." ”

The old lady glanced at Rong Hua in surprise. If others only think about how to shirk responsibility, they will never analyze everything that follows. The emperor was not in the capital, and Mingrui went to accompany Du Yingjia, but something happened at home at this time. The person who had the accident was still an honest person. In the past, even if there was something in the house, "the people in the yamen would not come to the door easily, and today the matter was not clarified, and they came to arrest people."

Rong Hua said: "I want people to go out and inquire to see if there is anything else in the capital." ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "What do you think will happen to Jingli?" ”

Rong Hua said: "The eighth prince is gone, the imperial concubine was scolded by the emperor, maybe the imperial concubine's reputation will be lost after returning to Beijing, not to mention that the marquis of Yi Chenghou and others were also involved in the ink corruption case." "The imperial concubine is frustrated, and the situation of Prince Zhuang and the imperial concubine holding each other down will be broken, and at this time, maybe someone will make a big move," If it was just for the sake of the eighth prince, the emperor should not be in such a hurry to order the marquis to go to meet him. ”

The old man listened carefully to Rong Hua's words, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's rare that you think so thoroughly, why don't I think about these days", he paused as he spoke, "I have already asked Steward Yu to go out to inquire about the news, and I should come back in a while." ”

Rong Hua said: "It's too late today, I'll ask someone to find Su Changjiu tomorrow, no matter whether Su Changjiu killed someone or not, I have to send him to the yamen first." ”

The old lady said, "You go down and arrange it!" ”

Rong Hua served the old lady lying on the chaise longue, and then slowly withdrew. Out of the old lady's courtyard, Ru Juan walked over from the cuizhu road and stepped forward to salute Rong Hua, "Young lady, Madame, please come over." ”

Lord Xue took the poem written by Yishuang in his hand and read it several times, but he couldn't read it, so he simply put it on the table.

As soon as the curtain rang, Rong Hua came into the house, and Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

The maids served tea and retreated, and Mrs. Xue frowned and said, "Is Su Changchang's matter true?" ”

Rong Hua said: "It's just the words of the people in the gambling house. ”

Mrs. Xue was still worried: "How can the yamen come to the door without credentials?" After a pause, "Do you know the old clip?" ”

Rong Hua nodded, "The old lady already knows." ”

Mrs. Xue's eyebrows frowned a little more, and she sighed, "Why did this happen, the old lady let you take care of some things, it's not good, and you will ...... in the future" said and remembered the words of the Taoist priest, "The last time I met that Taoist chief, I said that there would be a bloody disaster in our family, and I don't know if it was this ......, as soon as Mingrui came out of Beijing, I was restless, for fear that something would happen, and I preferred the unbroken spirit." ”

It's okay that Mrs. Xue didn't mention it, but when she mentioned the words of the Taoist priest, Rong Hua's heart suddenly trembled. Why didn't she think of that Taoist priest? "Mother, don't worry, even if Su Changjiu really did such a thing outside, it has nothing to do with our Xue family."

As soon as Rong Hua spoke, Gu's mother hurriedly entered the house, and when she reached the threshold, she tripped and almost fell to the ground, stumbling in front of Mrs. Xue, and her face was already pale.

Mrs. Xue was shocked. Gu's mother had already said: "It's not good, the people in the yamen said that our Xue family instructed his subordinates to deliberately kill people, in order to fight for hundreds of acres of fertile land, and the people in the yamen wanted to talk to Hou Ye, and Hou Ye was not in the mansion, so he only said that he wanted to enter the mansion and ask the old lady clearly." ”

Mrs. Xue shook her hand and touched the tea bowl on the table, and her eyes widened, "What?" pass
