Chapter 84: Disappointment
The east wing of the Honghun Courtyard fell into a brief silence.
No one seems to want to break the tranquility.
Hua Jin can't plead, and if he does, he will be even more passive.
Anyone who believes in her will understand this truth.
So if Bai Tao doesn't stand up, her sister won't stand up, and Chen's mother can't stand up.
If Cai's mother doesn't confess, this matter can't be explained clearly.
Hua Jin looked at everyone in the room with his peripheral eyes......
Could it be Hua Wei? staged a sisterly drama, saying that she didn't believe that her fifth sister would harm herself?
Or Roche? appeared as a loving mother again, saying that the daughter she raised since she was a child would not be someone who intentionally harmed her sister?
When they behave like this, black and white are even more indistinguishable.
Hua Jin looked down at Cai's mother, only she was the one who knew the truth, but she wouldn't say anything now.
"The fifth girl is only twelve years old, and she has picked up all the things up and down your room, big and small, and now she still has such complaints."
Hua Jin's eyebrows jumped, and he looked at Mrs. Tai, who stepped forward to break the tranquility at this time.
I heard her say sharply again: "Cai Pozi, since you are the steward in this kitchen, you should do things carefully, why did you only tell the fifth girl about the poisoning of the lotus root of the seventh girl?" Why didn't you inform the two personal maids around her? caused such a situation, do you bear this responsibility? ”
Hua Jin didn't expect that it was Mrs. Tai, what was her purpose?
With her many years of experience in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, it is impossible not to know that saying this is tantamount to acquiescing to what Cai's mother said is true, and she Hua Jin really forgot to remind Hua Wei that there is a lotus root in the dish.
However, this forgetting, who knows whether it is accidental or inevitable?
Even if you want to calm things down, you can't ignore her innocence?
Hua Jin clenched the handkerchief tightly in his hand, and looked at Mrs. Tai again, even if she was not her own grandmother, she was also her aunt and grandmother in blood!
I saw Mrs. Tai frowning tightly and said seriously: "The fifth girl is a first-time housekeeper, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence in doing things, so you will make a big fuss." Do you see a mistake as a sin? After speaking, he looked at the second master Zhang Yufeng again.
Actually mentioned her housekeeper?
Hua Jin also looked at the second master, not knowing what choice he would make.
The reason why Hua Jin has remained silent is because she knows that no amount of defense is useless now.
The crux of the problem is Cai's mother's frame, as long as she finally finds out whether Cai's mother was bought by money or threatened, she is sure that she will tell the truth and turn the tables.
But now she just wants to see if the man who is called her father will stand in front of her, or will he take away the stewardship of her second room by pushing the boat down the river, and turn the big things in front of her into small and small things.
The purpose of Roche and Hua Wei is nothing more than stewardship.
Hua Jin is more sure, even if she hands over the stewardship today, she will still take it back one day.
It's just that knowing Mrs. Tai's attitude now, she wants to know the attitude of the second master even more.
She wanted to know what kind of attitude her loved ones had towards her in this place called home.
Hua Jin raised his head and met Zhang Yufeng's gaze, without dodging.
The second old man, Zhang Yufeng, had been frowning tightly, feeling that several eyes were projected at him, and he raised his head......
Seeing Hua Wei, there was a little distress in his eyes; Seeing Roche, there was a bit of resentment in his eyes; When he saw Mrs. Tai, there was a little fear in his eyes; And meeting Hua Jin's gaze, he frowned and immediately dodged.
It turned out to be a dodge?
There was a feeling of disappointment that spread in Hua Jin's heart little by little......
It seemed that he had made a decision, and he seemed to be a little hesitant, Zhang Yufeng's lips moved several times, but he didn't say anything yet.
Suddenly, the curtain in the inner room was lifted without warning, and the little maid guarding the door let Xichun behind her in.
At this moment, everyone's eyes looked at Xichun again, and saw her somewhat pale face.
The second master, Zhang Yufeng, took a step back as if he had been amnestied.
Xichun looked at the tense atmosphere in the room, and hesitantly looked at Mama Hang, who was beside Mrs. Tai.
Mother Hang nodded slightly, and Xichun walked quickly to Mrs. Tai's side.
Mrs. Tai bowed slightly, "Say, what's going on?" ”
The horror on Xichun's face was still not gone, "Just now, in the well in the backyard of the laundry room, I found ...... Found ......" Xichun remembered what the maid Xiangfei next to the eldest lady told her, and couldn't help but feel numb in her scalp, but she still blurted out, "A little maid." ”
Given that the fifth girl under the age of twelve and the seventh girl under the age of nine were both present, Xichun did not say a corpse, but only a little maid.
But there was nothing that the people present did not understand, so their faces changed.
Hua Jin's heart jumped and looked at Xichun.
Laundry room, is it ......
Mrs. Tai sighed, "I have been in charge of Zhongfang for so many years, and I either can't make up my mind when I encounter problems, or I am afraid of taking responsibility, and I don't have the bearing to be a housewife at all." ”
Since everyone knew that Mrs. Tai's mouth was talking about the eldest lady Wang's family, it was difficult to answer at this time.
Only Mother Hang said cautiously beside Mrs. Tai: "Mrs. Eldest must also respect your opinion." Seeing that Mrs. Tai had the intention of getting up, she stepped forward to help herself, "Mrs. Tai, but go back now?" ”
"At the root of this year, there were no more deaths, which is really worry-free." After speaking, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to let Hang's mother help him, and Xichun hurriedly helped his other hand and walked out of the inner room without looking back.
The second old man, Zhang Yufeng, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and only silently followed Mrs. Tai out of the house.
Hua Jin looked at the back with mixed feelings......
Is it only by losing the life of a loved one that he can take on the responsibility of being the head of the family?
is so cowardly and unassertive, it's no wonder that a fire breaks out in the backyard.
Hua Jin suppressed the emotions in his heart, took Hua Hui's hand, and looked at Chen's mother and Bai Tao, "Let's go." ”
When he walked out of Hua Wei's yard, Hua Jin hurriedly instructed Bai Tao, "Go and inquire, what is the name of the little girl who threw herself into the well?" ”
Bai Tao walked quickly, and Hua Jin saw her sister standing there in a daze at this time, her face was a little whiter than that of Xichun just now, and she muttered, "Is it another one?" ”
…………
In the house, when everyone dispersed, Cai's mother was relieved and collapsed on the ground.
And Luo's face gradually sank, turned his head to look at Hua Wei, and couldn't help but poke her head again, "You girl has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and even dares to poison herself." What do you leave your mother to do if something happens? ”
Hua Wei put away the pitiful look in front of the person, and looked at Roche disapprovingly, "Mother, the child just ate a little senna, what can happen?" ”
"You ......," Roche was so angry that he was speechless.
And Hua Wei's thin and pale face actually showed a chilling smile, "Even the child is reluctant, how can he trap the wolf!" When he turned his eyes, he revealed a trace of ruthlessness, "Kindness is incompetence!" ”
At this time, not only Luo's family, but also Mother Cai, Hua Rong, and Yue Xiao in the house couldn't believe that they said this, and it was the seventh girl who was not yet nine years old who did such things.
