Chapter 262: Cornered (I)

The eldest lady took the medicine to relieve her breath, and then whispered her bitterness.

"When I entered the door, the second and third masters were not married, and it wasn't me, the sister-in-law, who helped Cào."

"Later, when the family was separated, I have been doing my best to take care of the old lady, where dare I have the slightest neglect."

"I haven't made any mistakes in running the family all these years, but now the old lady is gone, and there are no elders in the clan to speak for us."

The eldest lady said this to mean that the people of the clan came to make trouble in the name of the old lady, not for the old lady.

Ginger is old and spicy, and the eldest lady found an excuse so quickly. In this way, he not only saved face in front of the concubine, but also found a suitable reason to ask the concubine to help.

What the people in the clan did suddenly became aimed at Tao Zheng'an and the entire Tao family's big house instead of the eldest wife.

"Your father is the patriarch, there are several good shops in the clan in our hands, and when the old lady was alive, the second and third rooms also took the position of a patriarch, but fortunately, the old lady suppressed it. Now that we have no elders to support us, your younger brother is still young, and his family is not prosperous, so he will naturally be bullied. ”

So I want to ask a tough person to stand up and say a word for Tao Zhengan, Mrs. Da, and Yaohua.

That person was Xue Mingrui.

It is impossible for Xue Mingrui to handle the Tao family's affairs, and it is easy to handle this matter only if she comes forward.

The eldest lady's soft voice and face full of grievances and vicissitudes were in exchange for her sympathy. The tearful words made people hear that there was nothing wrong with the eldest lady, but this was not the case.

She was fed poison that night, and the eldest lady had a look of pity on her face? When she was struggling, could the eldest lady's desire to kill her be shaken?

The third sister and the fourth sister are married far away, can the eldest wife think about the future for the concubine?

The old lady was sick, and the eldest lady did not immediately move the old lady out of the Millennium House.

Tao Zhengan's concubines died of illness one after another, and the heirs born to the fourth aunt died quietly.

Rong Hua lowered his head and looked at the eldest wife, "Mother should relax, my mother has worked for the Tao family all these years, and there is always a judgment." ”

The voice was as light as a feather máo, but it didn't carry a deep meaning that frightened her, and the eldest lady was slightly stunned.

There will be a judgment, but it is not for the eldest lady to continue to enjoy her wealth and glory.

It's about making all the previous things clear with the eldest wife.

……

Yaohua finally waited for the person who went to Tao's house to come back and say goodbye.

"How?"

The mother-in-law's face was a little bad, "I heard from the people in the house......"

Yaohua's heart sank.

The woman said: "The people in the clan just blame Mrs. Tao for not marrying the second lady in a hurry regardless of the old lady's life or death." That's what made the old lady angry. ”

Didn't the previous news say that the mother sold the things in her grandmother's house to make up for her mother's house? That's why the clan let the father divorce the mother. Why is it on her head now?

She asked Yanhua to mention Yanhua and let Yanhua help her mother speak, and her uncle's family couldn't forget her mother's kindness. That is, let Yanhua talk about the money that his mother gave to his uncle's family in the front, and put her marriage in the back.

When it comes to priorities, the clansmen will not hold on to her marriage.

Yaohua asked, "What else did you inquire about?" ”

The mother-in-law looked at the Xiangzhu and jade beside Yaohua.

Yaohua instructed Jade, "Go out and watch people." ”

Jade came out of the house, and the mother-in-law said: "The house all says that ǎinǎi and Shizi have already been in the middle of the house...... The eldest lady came up with such an idea in order to cover up the ugly things, and the illness of the prince is also fake, otherwise nǎinǎi will not be able to get married until next year, in case the old lady is seriously ill, nǎinǎi has to keep filial piety and does not know what year it will be delayed. ”

When Yaohua heard these words, she immediately felt a chill through her bones. When the subordinates inquired, there was no mistake in the slightest, and the whole thing was clearly explained from beginning to end.

Chong Xi did this matter so carefully, how could it be easily exposed.

Especially when the Ren Mansion asks the imperial doctor to come over every three or five times to diagnose the pulse, the prince's illness gradually "has a sè" but it is also not chulcant be chuáng, I don't know how many relatives and friends come to visit every day, and only these few people in the family really know the inside story.

After she married into Ren's mansion, she also abided by etiquette, carefully copying Buddhist scriptures every day, except for asking Mrs. Ren for peace in the morning and evening, she didn't even take a step in the courtyard the rest of the time, and her life was worse than that of poor relatives who came to fight the autumn breeze.

lived his life so carefully, but he didn't expect to be ......

Will this matter be revealed? What situation is she going to face if she is really exposed? Not only did she receive it from the prince, but the prince pretended to be sick, which was a crime of deception. Such a crime is devastating for anyone.

Yaohua's face changed slightly, and the jade who was eavesdropping outside had already panicked, and her hand tightened the partition fan.

Mother-in-law said: "nǎinǎi has to have a plan in advance." ”

Yaohua took a deep breath and said reluctantly calmly: "I didn't know Shizi before, let them say whatever they want." Is it possible to say that something that is not true is true? The prince is now sick on the chuáng, and the imperial doctor can still have a leave every day? ”

The woman's eyes flickered. She is not an ordinary subordinate, she has been doing things by Nǎinǎi's side all day long, even if she doesn't know the reason for many things, she can see some clues, although the atmosphere in Ren's Mansion is tense, but she knows that Shizi's illness is not as serious as it is said outside, and one night she saw Shizi come out of Nǎinǎi's house with her own eyes. Since the things that Chong Xi can't do true, the rumors that Nǎinǎi and Shizi knew each other before must not be empty.

Otherwise, how could Shizi Chongxi find nǎinǎi. The prince risked his life and married a woman he didn't know as his stepfamily, and no matter who heard it, he wouldn't believe it.

Yaohua didn't speak with the woman, and the room was unusually silent for a moment. Even the subordinates didn't believe her words. Yaohua's palms were stabbed by her nails. She thought that as long as she thought of some ways as before, she could let Tao Zhengan and the eldest lady speak for her in front of the clansmen and help her tide over the difficulties.

But she forgot that the saying that tiger poison does not eat children cannot be used on Tao Zhengan and the eldest wife. How the fifth sister died, she still remembers it clearly. Who doesn't seek self-protection at critical moments? Tao Zhengan wants to rely on the Ren family and can't let her go, but if the eldest lady doesn't want to put the blame on her, she may be suspended.

The woman retreated, and Yaohua instructed Xiangzhu, "Find someone to go back and ask." ”

Xiangzhu went to arrange manpower, and Jade entered the house to wait for Yaohua to read.

Yaohua held the book for a long time and didn't read a word.

Xiangzhu came back from outside to comfort Yaohua, "nǎinǎi don't hurt your mind too much, there is always a way to solve it, and you can't do it accurately if you hear the news casually." ”

Jade looked at Xiangzhu, and her mouth chún sipped deeper. Others don't know that she and Xiangzhu know it clearly, and Shizi and nǎinǎi have known each other for a long time.

What the woman said is good, how can she not be accurate?

This time, nǎinǎi didn't know how to get out.

Xiangzhu was waiting for Yaohua in the house, and Jade took the little maid to collect the dried bedding.

In the evening, Jade instructed the little maid to put away all the bedding, and made a living in her hands, and came out of the yard with a lantern and sat on the side of the gravel road in a daze.

I was thinking about it, when I suddenly heard a sentence fluttering above my head, "What are you thinking?" ”

Jade was startled and dropped the lantern in her hand to the ground.

The man bent down and lifted the lamp, and the shadow of the lamp shone brightly, the man's eyes flashed, and the thin mouth under the nose of the pen tǐng was already open, with a full smile, "I scared you." ”

Jade almost said in a panic, "Lord Shizi." His hands habitually pulled his sideburns, his feet retracted under his skirts, and he tidied himself up and took a deep breath before he dared to slowly raise his chin.

Ren Yanfeng had already asked softly, "Did nǎinǎi sleep?" ”

Jade nodded hurriedly, "Nǎinǎi is not feeling well today, so I rested early." ”

Ren Yanfeng was suddenly disappointed, "I should have come over after dark, but who knew that I was stumped by something," he raised his eyebrows with a smile and personally handed the lantern to Jade, "Take the lantern and don't drop it again." ”

Jade only saw that the man's eyebrows and eyes were smiling at herself, and her heart had long been beating uncontrollably. She went to pick up the lantern, and who knew that it rubbed the hand that was carrying the lantern.

The hand was hotter than hers, the fingers were no rougher than hers, and especially with an indescribable breath wafting in the wind, her nose suddenly felt itchy.

"You go in and take a look, if you fall asleep, I'll leave."

Jade nodded and hurriedly walked forward, I don't know how to stumble and stumble a few steps, finally stood firm, but I didn't dare to look back, thinking of being embarrassed by the world, the whole person was ashamed and embarrassed, and trotted a few steps into the yard.

I heard Xiangzhu say, "nǎinǎi is asleep." ”

Jade remembered the news that the mother-in-law brought from the Tao family during the day, could the prince come at this time to have something to do with this matter? So he whispered: "I don't know if there is something wrong with the son." ”

Xiangzhu tugged at the cloak he was wearing and looked out, and asked Jade in a low voice, "What did the prince say to you?" ”

Jade shook her head.

Xiangzhu said: "It's not good for me to wake up when I sleep, you go back." ”

Xiangzhu closed the door, and Jade slowly walked back with a lantern again, and when she saw Shizi, Jade stepped forward and saluted: "Nǎinǎi is asleep." ”

Ren Yanfeng sighed and said gently, "I'll come back tomorrow." ”

Shizi turned around and walked forward alone with the lantern, Jade's eyes fell on the dim light, seeing that the light was getting farther and farther away from him, Jade's heart was hot and her feet stepped forward almost uncontrollably.

"Wait a minute." The sound was small, but it was still clear in the silence of the night.

The mind that was hesitant was hesitant, but when I saw those gentle eyes, the worries in my heart were swept away. Jade calmed down, frowned slightly, and remembered nǎinǎi's mournful voice on weekdays, she also half-bit her mouth and said embarrassedly after a while: "There is something I don't know if I should tell the prince or not." ”

"The slave is also worried about nǎinǎi to ......"

"There's nothing to say, but it's okay to say it." Shizi's voice was worried and concerned.

Jade made up her mind to raise her head, "nǎinǎi asked people to go back to Tao's house to inquire about the news. Only then did I know that the matter of the prince was already known to outsiders. Not only in the Qinghua Temple, but also in the nǎinǎi entering the door and rushing to the joy. The prince had to think of a way earlier. ”
