Chapter 023: It's Better to Pray That It Has Nothing to Do with You
When Ling Qingrui came to Ling's mourning hall, she saw Aunt Shen standing outside the door with a gloomy face, with a faint scar on her face from being scratched by a cat, while the two sisters Liu Mengxi and Liu Mengyan didn't see it, it was estimated that they were in the mourning hall.
"Madam, madam, why did you go so suddenly, how can this make the concubine body good......"
Aunt Shen's sad voice came, and she cried very sadly, as if the deceased Ling family was some of her relatives.
Ling Qingrui walked slowly in front of her, staring at her with cold eyes, until Aunt Shen couldn't stop crying, and her eyes dodged.
Aunt Shen opened her mouth and asked, "Miss Rui, why are you looking at me like this?" ”
The corners of Ling Qingrui's lips hooked slightly, revealing a cold smile that seemed to be a hint of danger in Aunt Shen's eyes, leaned forward slightly, almost fell into Aunt Shen's ear, and said softly: "Aunt Shen, you'd better pray, your mother's death has nothing to do with you, otherwise I will make you regret coming to this world." ”
"You ......"
Aunt Shen couldn't help but change her face, and then took a few steps back, looking at Ling Qingrui's gaze in disbelief.
Because of this sentence, Ling Qingrui's voice was very light, so light that only Aunt Shen could hear it clearly, so Aunt Shen reacted so much, and the people under the maid looked at her very suspiciously.
She forcibly restrained herself and said, "I don't understand what Miss Rui is saying, I'm just saddened by the death of Mrs. Rui." ”
"What is Aunt Shen talking about, I'm just saying that the eldest sister and the second sister should be tired, so let's go back with my aunt and rest and come back."
Ling Qingrui said this, with the worry on her face, no one seemed to be telling the truth, but no one knew that Ling Qingrui's heart was cold.
Aunt Shen's reaction showed that Ling's death was likely to be related to her, otherwise she wouldn't have changed her face just because of her words.
With her hand hidden in her sleeve and a slight force, Ling Qingrui pinched an embroidery needle, but unfortunately she didn't have a scalpel that she was used to in her previous life, otherwise......
Walking forward slowly, Ling Qingrui passed by Aunt Shen's side, but the embroidery needle in her hand was extremely fast, but it was hidden and stabbed out, and then she withdrew her hand, and there was no trace of the embroidery needle between her fingers.
When she was about to enter the mourning hall, Ling Qingrui's footsteps paused slightly.
At this moment, she actually smelled a hint of vagueness, it was the breath that had appeared outside her Bixia Pavilion, spying on her conversation with the Ling family, and even came to her room to rummage through things!
His eyes fell on a maid who was standing silently in the corner, and then retracted quietly.
Ling Qingrui suddenly felt in her heart, no wonder she felt that the aura was both strange and slightly familiar, it turned out to be a little maid beside Aunt Shen!
Because she had not had direct contact with her, she would feel strange, but because this little maid would occasionally follow behind Aunt Shen, Ling Qingrui must have seen her but never paid attention to her, so she was only slightly familiar.
Keeping the appearance of that maid in mind, Ling Qingrui's footsteps only paused slightly, and then continued to move forward, so small that almost no one noticed.
Seeing Ling Qingrui walk into the mourning hall, her back was thin but full of arrogance, and Aunt Shen's face became more and more ugly.
I thought that this timid and cowardly orphan girl would not live long, and keeping her might become a weakness of the Ling family, and she could better control the Ling family, so she didn't really think of a way to get rid of her over the years, just let her two daughters play at will.
Who would have thought that when the Ling clan died suddenly, she found out that this orphan girl she had never looked at in her eyes actually had signs that would harm her!
Aunt Shen's heart was extremely irritable, seeing that the old man and the old lady had no intention of coming, she couldn't bear to pretend, and immediately wanted to lead the maid away.
It's just that she didn't go far when she saw that the old lady and people were already walking here, and Aunt Shen had to stop.
Aunt Shen looked at Wang's calm face, and Shi Li hurriedly looked for an excuse for her desire to leave.
"I've seen the old lady. The concubine saw Miss Rui and the eldest lady and the second miss, and it was not a way to kneel down like this, so I wanted to ask the master, if I wanted to let the young ladies rest first, eat some meals, and then kneel when the people who came to mourn came. ”
The old lady glanced at Aunt Shen, only thinking that she was feeling sorry for her daughter, so she said: "These old bodies will take care of themselves, you can go back." ”
The identity of an aunt is not on the stage, and this is not the time for an aunt to show up.
Aunt Shen's eyes were filled with tears of grievance, and she replied, "Yes, old lady, the concubine will go back." ”
Aunt Shen hurriedly walked back, almost unable to suppress the anger in her heart, her fists clenched tightly, and her hard nails pierced her palms directly.
Dead old woman! Why don't you die! If it weren't for the obstruction of the dead old woman, I would have stepped on the Ling family at the bottom of my feet and become the main room, and my two outstanding daughters would not be concubines, which makes people look down on!
Cursing fiercely in her heart, Aunt Shen returned to her room in a fit of rage, and sat down on the stool impetuously.
"Ah, it hurts me!"
Aunt Shen's body screamed as soon as she touched the chair, and her body bounced up almost immediately.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Mingyan on the side hurriedly reached out to support Aunt Shen, who was unstable.
Aunt Shen gasped in pain, where could she still care to answer Mingyan's question, Mingyan saw that her face was pale in pain, and she didn't care to ask again, so she hurriedly looked at her body.
Under Aunt Shen's command, Mingyan finally found an embroidery needle on her hip!
The embroidery needle was already hidden in the dress, and at this time, because Aunt Shen was sitting there just now, she plunged into it a lot, and it was even more difficult to find.
"Auntie, it's an embroidery needle."
"Embroidery needles? How can there be embroidery needles! Aunt Shen was in pain and angry.
"Auntie, bear with me, the slave will help you pull it out."
Aunt Shen also knew that she couldn't invite a doctor to come just to pull out an embroidery needle, so she had to nod.
Mingyan was ruthless and pulled out the embroidery needle hard.
Aunt Shen screamed in pain again, turned her head to look at the bloodstained embroidery needle, and her heart was full of anger.
Mingyan saw Aunt Shen's motherly eyes shining fiercely, and for fear that it would affect her, she hurriedly said: "Xu is the embroidery girl was careless and accidentally left the embroidery needle." ”
Where did Ming Yan and Aunt Shen think that it was Ling Qingrui's hands and feet, and they didn't expect that this needle didn't just hurt her.
Ling Qingrui moved quickly, and she was pierced on Aunt Shen's acupuncture point, Aunt Shen didn't feel any pain at all, she didn't notice it herself, and the maid wouldn't always stare at her buttocks, so naturally she wouldn't find out.
Aunt Shen knew that this skirt was made because of the sudden death of the Ling family, and the old lady ordered the embroidery lady to make it, and now she went to find trouble with the embroidery girl, which was equivalent to working against the old lady, and the old lady might not favor her side at that time.
Angry, Aunt Shen picked up the tea sent by the little maid, but as soon as she took a sip, she slammed the teacup on the little maid's head.
"You dare to bring such hot tea, do you want to burn me! Even you dare to do this to me, see that I don't kill you! ”
The teacup shattered in response, and the blood stains on the little girl's forehead also meander down, but the little girl didn't dare to exhale pain, and regardless of whether there were broken porcelain pieces on the ground, she knelt down with a "poof".
"Auntie spare her life, aunt spare her life...... "The little girl kowtowed, and the broken porcelain added scars to her body.
Seeing this, Mingyan on the side hurriedly waved his hand and sent the little maid down to bandage it, and told the little maid not to go out and talk nonsense.
Mingyan knew that Aunt Shen had been in a bad mood recently, and Mingcui was so frightened by Ling Qingrui that she ran out directly because she was in Bixia Pavilion some time ago, and she was beaten hard by Aunt Shen's order, and now she is still lying on the bed and can't get up.
She and Mingcui have been by her side since Aunt Shen came to Liufu, and they are the most favored big girls in front of her, and now they are like this, if it weren't for the second lady often persuading her aunt, her aunt's temper is estimated to be even more irritable than now.
It seems that the eldest lady is the one who follows her aunt's true nature.
Mingyan thought about it in her heart, and while cleaning up the mess on the ground, she carefully persuaded her: "Auntie doesn't have to be so angry. ”
"How can I not be annoyed! Ling's slut is dead, and this old woman still abuses me like this! ”
"Husband......" Thinking that Aunt Shen didn't like the people around her to call the Ling family Madame, Mingyan hurriedly changed her words: "It is precisely because the Ling family is dead that the old lady will give the Ling family and Miss Rui some thin noodles for the sake of the face of the Liu Mansion. After this, there is no housemaster in the master's backyard, is it possible that the old lady can still manage the affairs of her son's backyard all the time? ”
Seeing that Aunt Shen's face gradually improved, Mingyan hurriedly persuaded again: "When the time comes, isn't it logical for my aunt to come forward to take charge of the feed, and then ask the master to straighten my aunt." ”
Aunt Shen thought for a while, and said with a calm heart: "What you said is also right, I won't worry about the old woman first, and everything will be said after I get the feed." ”
Aunt Shen, who had figured it out, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Mingyan standing beside her, and said, "Yan'er is right, Mingyan, you are a good one." ”
"It was the second miss who taught well, and the slave maid learned a lot from the second miss." Mingyan said busily.
Nodding, Aunt Shen waved tiredly so that the cigarette also withdrew.
Ling's sudden death was something Aunt Shen didn't expect, and it also caught her off guard.
Originally, I heard my brother say that the lord was likely to return to Beijing to take up a post in the next two years, so Aunt Shen made up her mind that she would wait until she returned to Beijing to find a good family for her two daughters, so she did not settle for a marriage in Yunzhou.
Liu Mengxi was fifteen years old in February this year, and now that her mother has died, wouldn't she have to mourn for three years, by then Liu Mengxi will be an eighteen-year-old girl, and Liu Mengyan will be seventeen by then.
As for Ling Qingrui, who was born in the same year as Liu Mengxi and had a few months younger, she was naturally ignored by Aunt Shen.
Thinking of her daughter's family affairs, how not to make Aunt Shen worried, she was naturally extremely anxious in her heart.
Not to mention......
Aunt Shen rubbed her brows with a headache, and when she put down her hand, she suddenly saw a person standing in front of her, dressed in black, with an angry vajra-like mask on his face!
