Chapter 359: Turning Danger into Disaster, Clues United
On the carved kang near the window, Huang and Huang San Lady were sitting with their feet down, and when they saw the eldest princess entering, they both stood up after looking at each other, and the beautiful scenery clearly captured the panic on the face of the third aunt, and Huang's subconsciously frowned and relaxed, and felt more and more that today's things were wonderful, and glanced at Jiang Yue, who was comforted by Dong Yin in his arms next to him, his face was obviously treated, but he was still a little red and swollen.
I didn't see Aunt Zhang.
The eldest princess didn't say a word, and sat down on the edge of the kang when she entered, and then the Huang family and the third lady Huang had to stand, and the third aunt wanted to laugh together, but was stopped by a look from the Huang family, so she had to grit her teeth with a serious face, and saw that Yi Jing wanted to help Banniang up, and said with a handkerchief in the corner of her eyes: "Jing girl, you and Ah Yue have always been good, today she has suffered this grievance, but she has to say a fair word for her, otherwise she is a girl, but she was humiliated by Aunt Zhang and Banniang's mother and daughter, and it will be difficult to protect her innocence in the future." ”
Yijing entered the house and greeted the elders, but when she heard this, she frowned slightly, but Banniang was reluctant to get up, and struggled to walk a few steps on her knees, and then came to Mrs. Huang San: "Third aunt, please forgive your aunt a few points, I will lead any punishment for my aunt, and ask the third aunt to spare my aunt's life." ”
"Why are you responsible for Zhang? You can't get out of it yourself, don't look at the mother who usually treats you kindly, you don't know what to do like this......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Yijing say: "Eighth sister get up, how can you be so confused, how should my aunt be punished for having a grandmother in charge." "I just helped Banniang up.
The eldest princess spoke slowly at this time: "Her third aunt, you said that my eight girls don't know what to do, and what is the relationship inseparable?" ”
Looking at this situation, the eldest princess and Yijing actually want to stand on the side of the Zhang family? The third aunt was shocked, but also surging with resentment and unwillingness in her heart, and she didn't have time to think about it, and blurted out a sentence: "Mrs. Tai, today the Zhang family beat and scolded Ah Yue, she is an aunt, and she dares to ruin the reputation of Houfu's daughter, shouldn't she be punished?" ”
Yijing's tone was soft: "Third aunt, Aunt Zhang is Aunt Zhang, and the eighth sister is the eighth sister, even if the aunt is at fault, she should not implicate the eighth sister." ”
Huang looked at Mrs. Huang San's clumsy tongue, Yijing was biased and helpful, and she didn't dwell on the issue of Banniang, so Dong Yin made a basin of water to clean her face, and then reported today's incident to the eldest princess, of course, it was Huang Jiangyue's version, in short, it was Aunt Zhang, who was rude and rude, and collided with her in-laws, but she cautiously did not say what punishment should be.
"Mrs. Tai, our two mansions are in-laws, Ah Yue is all up to you, if the Zhang family is alive, they will have to spread those unbearable words in the future and ruin my daughter's innocence." Mrs. Huang San tightened the brocade handkerchief in her hand, and her eyebrows were also ruthless.
"What did Aunt Zhang say?" The eldest princess didn't pay attention to Mrs. Huang and only asked Huang.
Huang was stunned again, so he had to say Zhang's version again.
Mrs. Huang San became more and more dissatisfied: "Zhang's blood is clearly spewing people. ”
"Mother, Aunt Zhang was still speaking ill of Ah Yue earlier, and I was also worried that if this matter spread, it would hurt Ah Yue's reputation, so that Aunt Zhang was taken to the wing room first, and I was going to persuade the third sister-in-law to forgive her, but I only punished Aunt Zhang to Zhuangzi Si." Huang also said.
Yi Jing interjected: "Ah Yue, you really met with your second brother today and you were just playing a game, and you didn't say that?" ”
Huang Jiangyue had already broken her liver and intestines for a while, and at this time she was weak and very aggrieved: "How could I provoke the second brother and the second sister-in-law to fall out of harmony, but Ah Jing doesn't believe me?" ”
"If it's just a game, there shouldn't be no maids in the Flower Pavilion." The beautiful scenery is just a faint sentence.
It's cousins and sisters, but now that they're getting older, one has become married, and the other has already reached the same age, so they should have avoided suspicion, and they shouldn't have private meetings, not to mention hiding from people's eyes.
The implication of Yijing's words is that Aunt Zhang's accusation against Huang Jiangyue is not unreasonable.
Huang Jiangyue's face turned white, and the third lady was even more red.
"Ah Jing, are you accusing Ah Yue of this?"
Yi Jing bent his knees: "The third aunt is angry, I just talk about things, I originally heard the eighth sister mention, the second brother and Ah Yue met in private is not the only time, because of what Ah Yue said last time, the second brother also had an awkward quarrel with the second sister-in-law, if Ah Yue really said that today, Aunt Zhang really shouldn't beat someone, but Ah Yue may not be wrong, Aunt Zhang is the second brother's biological mother after all, I am worried that this development will become more and more unbearable, and I am angry to offend. ”
"Jing girl, you can't be so conscienceless, besides, you are a girl who has already left the cabinet, and it is not your turn to interfere in this matter." The third aunt was furious.
The eldest princess sneered: "Even if Jing'er is married, she is still the daughter of my Su family, I don't know what her third aunt is relying on, she is going to shout and kill in the Guogong Mansion when she opens her mouth?" ”
The Huang family and Mrs. Huang San are both the same Rin.
"This matter can't just rely on Qi Niang's words, since E'er was present, I called him over and asked him about right and wrong." The eldest princess said again.
"Mother, if that's the case, I'm afraid that there will be gossip, Ah Yue is a boudoir daughter after all......" Huang hurriedly persuaded, and said to Mrs. Huang San: "Third sister-in-law, I know that you are angry and hateful in your heart, but you should also think about Ah Yue, it is not good for everyone to publicize this matter, it is better to settle the matter." ”
When Mrs. Huang San heard this, she really shed a few tears: "Then Ah Yue was beaten for nothing today?" and bear this inexplicable stigma......"
If you want to be innocent, you can't do this unclear thing, Yijing glanced at Jiang Yue, and saw that her face was hanging down at this time, the corners of her lips couldn't help twitching, and she didn't have any sympathy in her heart, but became more and more cold and hard.
Huang made another guarantee, saying that he would order the servants in the house to never talk about today's affairs again, and under her persuasion, Mrs. Huang finally died down, and Aunt Zhang miraculously did not receive any punishment.
When the Huang family heard that the eldest princess returned to Yuanying Hall, they called Aunt Zhang to question, and her face was even more uncertain.
Today's incident was arranged by her.
As early as two years ago, the Huang family learned from Mama Song about Erlang Su Ying's "affection" for Jiang Yue, but he ignored it and watched coldly, until that day he suspected that Aunt Zhang had "eaves" her conversation with Mama Song, so he started to make a calculation on this matter, Huang knew that Mama Jiang was Mama Song's person, and asked Aunt Zhang to be on guard against Jiang Yue, and guessed that today was Yijing's marriage for a month, and the eldest princess who was worried about her granddaughter would definitely go to the Chu Palace, so she invited Jiang Yue and Mrs. Huang to come to the Guogong Mansion.
The eldest princess has always been disgusted with Aunt Zhang, and the Huang family was originally determined that even if the eldest princess learned about it, she would not help her.
Moreover, compared to Aunt Zhang's cheap life, what she cares about is whether her "handle" falls into the hands of Zhang.
If Aunt Zhang really heard those words that day, and the incident was urgent today, she would definitely open her mouth to threaten, and at that time, the Huang family would also "calm things down" and send Aunt Zhang to Zhuangzi to end the matter.
Therefore, when Aunt Zhang made a big fuss in Herui Garden at first, Huang immediately ordered her to be detained, and went to interrogate her in person, but Aunt Zhang did not mention Mama Song at all, obviously "innocent".
While the Huang family breathed a sigh of relief, he was about to "calm things down", but Banniang came, crying and kneeling, and told Erlang and Jiang Yue about their repeated private meetings, pleading for Aunt Zhang, and Mrs. Huang couldn't come to the stage for a while, so she had to hold on.
And the eldest princess and Yijing followed, and unexpectedly helped Aunt Zhang.
When the eldest princess returned to Yuanying Hall to interrogate Aunt Zhang, Huang found an opportunity to pull Yijing aside: "I am really embarrassed about this matter today, for fear that your third uncle and mother will have a grudge, and go back to provoke ...... in front of your grandmother."
Yijing smiled gently: "I knew that my mother would be embarrassed, so I hurriedly persuaded my grandmother to come back and deal with it." ”
Huang was still skeptical: "I originally thought that you were good friends with Ah Yue, and you would ......be unhappy for her."
"Don't hide it from my mother, I vaguely heard about the private meeting between the second brother and Ah Yue, the second brother is certainly at fault, but Ah Yue knows that the second brother shouldn't, not only does he not avoid it, but he also repeatedly accepts invitations, and his behavior is already misbehaving, this time it is also to blame, take a lesson, and she will not knowingly commit it in the future." The scenery is full of disdain.
Huang was a little relieved to see that Yijing was still outspoken to her, even if Yijing and Huang Jiangyue fell out, it didn't matter, she wouldn't take it to heart.
The third lady mother and daughter made such a turmoil, of course, they had no face to stay for a long time, and they only left when the Huang family returned, and the mother and daughter got into the car, and the third lady Huang couldn't help complaining: "Jing Yatou is really a white-eyed wolf, thanks to you for flattering her a lot over the years, when something happens, you actually help an aunt who can't be on the stage." ”
Huang Jiangyue swept away her grievances at this time, and her face was cold: "I reminded my mother, this thing can't be done, but you insist on it, even you put my reputation in disregard, how can outsiders not look down on it?" ”
Mrs. Huang San was stunned, and her face was covered with embarrassment: "Your second aunt has repeatedly promised that she will not hurt your reputation......"
"Even if the servants are ordered not to be publicized, and the Guogong Mansion has to take care of Erlang, they will be obscure about this matter, but how will Ah Jing's sisters think of me, and the eldest princess...... I said earlier that Ah Jing understands very well in her heart, she is a person who is extremely difficult to deceive, and looking at her attitude today, I am sure that I am also wrong. Huang Jiangyue closed her eyes, after all, she bit the corners of her lips, and her eyes were gloomy.
"Who made your father a dou who can't support the wall, but he still has that greed." Mrs. Huang San sighed: "Uncle is also a person who doesn't care about his siblings, no matter what, even the uncle of the Long family has carried it, but your father, the younger brother, he doesn't care, we don't help the second room, in the future, the old lady will pass away, I'm afraid I can't even keep food and clothing, and your marriage, your father originally intended to ask the second uncle, let him ...... in front of the third highness"
"Hugh has to mention it again, has my mother forgotten the fifth sister!" Huang Jiangyue's expression was solemn, and half of her red face turned pale in an instant.
When Mrs. Huang San heard Huang Wuniang mention, she also shuddered: "Your second uncle is not allowed to gain power in the long room, but after all, we are in the same room with them, and if you become the third princess, it will also be beneficial to the second room in the future." ”
"Who are the second uncle and the second aunt, and the mother is not clear? If we really gain the power of the Third Highness, we will definitely make him jealous. Huang Jiangyue closed her eyes again: "Besides, the third highness can be controlled by the second uncle?" Even if the second uncle really trusts us, the third highness will also scoff at us, so why humiliate himself. ”
"But you have already arrived, and the marriage can no longer be delayed......" Mrs. Huang San's face was troubled.
"Instead of expecting the three princes, why doesn't my mother consider the Chu Palace?" Huang Jiangyue leaned against the wall of the car, but her expression was still not relaxed: "General Zhenguo has become a person of the Third Highness, if His Royal Highness can win the title in the future, the throne of the King of Chu may not be inherited by anyone, and besides, the second uncle will not stop this marriage in order to make friends with the general of Zhenguo, even if I become a princess, I will not be a threat to the second uncle, but can help him seize power, as long as he does not have anything to do with the Third Highness, the second uncle will not take it to heart." ”
Mrs. Huang San thought for a while, and her face gradually became happy, but Jiang Yue looked out of the car window, and the evening glow seeped into the window screen, which was bright red.
At dusk, Yi Jingcai and Yu Feng returned home together, and when they were cooking tea in the lotus pond Xiaoxie, Yi Jing talked about the turmoil that happened today: "Aunt Zhang doesn't seem to be telling a lie, but Jiang Yue said that thing is strange, and it is not good for her to provoke the second brother and the second sister-in-law to lose harmony, so why should she take advantage of her reputation?" ”
"Maybe it's against Aunt Zhang." Yu Feng rolled up his sleeves slightly, and poured the water from the pot into the cup, and there was white smoke and frivolity.
"But Jiang Yue and Aunt Zhang have no grudges and no hatred...... Yi Jing shook his head slowly: "I also suspected that it was my stepmother who instigated it, but she has always been 'virtuous', why did she attack Aunt Zhang at this time?" ”
"Maybe something happened that we didn't expect."
"I inquired, I only know that Aunt Zhang had a few words with Yingsheng not long ago, not to mention that Mama Song doesn't want to see Yingsheng, even if she wants to be angry for her daughter-in-law, she can't move the third aunt and Jiang Yue, and the stepmother is definitely not a temperament that will be used by Mama Song if she is provoked by a few words." The scenery became more and more suspicious.
In fact, Yi Jing already had a faint conjecture in her heart, she saw the attitude of her third aunt, as if she was acting according to her stepmother's eyes, so she suspected that today's incident was Huang's handiwork.
If so......
Restless, the hot tea scalded his fingertips, and the tea cup almost flipped on his skirt and fell to the ground with a "clang".
Yu Feng was stunned, and was about to worry about Yijing's fingers, but saw her suddenly get up, and her eyes were panicked.
"Fifth cousin's pox...... If the third aunt is ...... Ah Yue, she has been vaccinated with acne clothing......"
