Chapter 51: One Died
、、、、、、、、、、
Xiaohuan and Xiaopei's faces changed greatly, they didn't expect Red Sleeves to ask about this: if the second lady was there, of course they would take it into account; But after the second lady fell into a coma, she only woke up once and did not explain to them.
Fortunately, both of them lowered their heads, and they didn't have to be afraid of being seen their faces change.
Red Sleeves didn't answer when he saw Xiaohuan, and asked softly: "Why don't you speak?" What do you use to buy these people? Where did you get these deeds and gold and silver things? You girl, I didn't know you had a field. ”
Xiaohuan knew that he couldn't back down at this time: "The little maid is, she secretly used the lady's head, and she also stole the lady's gold and silver - these things are all in the hands of the little maid, and the lady has not inquired about it and has never known." ”
"Stealing your master's belongings, well, that's another great sin;" Red Sleeves didn't say whether he believed it or not, but continued to ask: "How do you explain the matter of the field?" ”
The second lady woke up at this time, and she moved on the ground to get up; Xiaohuan saw that his master had woken up, and immediately said hurriedly: "That field was originally given to the little maid by the lady, so the little maid took it and gave it to her." ”
She fell to the ground at the second lady and cried: "Madam, it's the little maid who is sorry for you, that's all the little maid can do; Now Mrs., Mrs., and the fifth young grandmother all know that everything is done by the little maid, and the little maid doesn't dare to ask for anything else, but only asks the lady to forgive the little maid. ”
The second lady exclaimed bitterly: "Xiaohuan, why are you ......?"
"Madam, the matter was done by Xiaohuan, don't be sad anymore and forgive her." Xiao Pei spoke in time to interrupt the second lady's words.
The second lady turned her face away, although she did not speak, but the tears fell down in a torrent; Looking at her, it's because at this point, whatever she says is just one more person to go in.
The lady looked at the red sleeves and looked at the second lady: "That field was given to the girl?" ”
The second lady sobbed softly, and after a while, under the expectant gaze of Xiao Pei and Xiao Huan, she nodded slowly; After nodding, she rushed over and hugged Xiaohuan: "You girl, why are you so stupid, how can you do such a stupid thing!" ”
Xiaohuan also hugged the second lady and cried, and the master and servant cried together; Or the lady can't see that people pull their master and servant away.
Xiaohuan and Xiaopei breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, they saved the master of their own family: it's worth it.
Red Sleeves looked at Xiaohuan's relaxed expression and asked softly, "How many people are in your family?" ”
The second lady's face changed drastically, but she didn't dare to raise her head, for fear of being seen by Red Sleeves and others; But her heart was raised very high.
Xiaohuan replied truthfully: "There are still six people in the family. She didn't understand, and at this time Red Sleeves asked her what this meant.
"Who are they?"
"Grandmothers, parents; There are also two younger brothers and a younger sister. Xiaohuan was even more confused.
"How's your grandmother doing? How old are the younger siblings? ”
"The grandmother and the parents are in good health, thanks to the grace of the second lady; The eldest brother is twelve years old, and the younger sister is ten years old, and they can already help the family; The younger brother is still younger, only seven years old, but he can help a little. Xiaohuan's heart ached when she thought of her family, because she knew that maybe this generation would never see them again. Especially the grandmother who loved her, and the younger siblings who liked her.
As he spoke, Xiaohuan's voice choked; She had never been so homesick as she was now.
"Oh, that's pitiful;" Red Sleeves' voice was still faint: "Xiaohuan, with the sin you said, your family will die with you." ”
This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the small ring of the earthquake was stunned for a moment; She looked at Red Sleeves in a daze, and couldn't hear or see anything for a while.
Let her die for the second lady, she has no scruples; But let her family die for the second lady, she was in a dilemma: her grandmother and parents had worked hard for a lifetime, and her younger siblings had not yet grown up, so she couldn't bear to die like this.
She thought that what she did was done by herself, but she never thought that it would affect her family: she was the only one in her family who sold herself to the Shen family as a slave.
Xiao Pei was also taken aback: "Five young grandmothers, one person does things and one person is in charge, Xiaohuan is the only one who sells it to our house, no matter how big a mistake she makes, she can't ......"
"Can't? Which one says can't, it is clearly written in the laws of my Celestial Empire, this is called ——, Xulian. Red Sleeves glanced at Xiao Pei lightly, and said unhurriedly: "If Xiaohuan just made other small mistakes, it would be fine, but she murdered the lords of the mansion - only this one, it is still cheap to ask her family to pay for their lives." ”
"This is also our Shen family's benevolence, otherwise we must report to the government, find out Xiaohuan and their family, and destroy it." After the red sleeves finished speaking, he looked at his wife: "What the granddaughter-in-law said, there is nothing wrong, right?" ”
Madame tightened her face: "Generally speaking, it is good, but the treatment of Xiaohuan's family is light; Death, there are many ways to die, for such a slave who wants to kill so many masters of our Shen family, and almost killed his own master, it is cheap for her family to break the car. ”
Xiao Pei's face was no longer bloody, and she sat on the ground and looked at Xiao Huan blankly, not knowing what to say; And Xiaohuan was also frightened to her senses, she shook her body and fell to the ground, prostrated herself to the ground and shouted: "Madam, you, you are gracious-" The latter words did not come out, and she fell to the ground motionless.
Needless to say, Doctor Mo hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, then got up and said, "Already, dead." After a pause, he glanced at the second lady and said softly: "Yes, arsenic plus snake venom." ”
Red Sleeves stood up, looked at the second lady, and finally swallowed the words that rushed to her mouth, and let people carry Xiaohuan's body down, so as not to startle the lady.
Xiaohuan's poisoning is naturally related to the second lady, but no one can testify to the second lady: because she has been cleaned by Cha Xiang and others from head to toe, it is impossible for her to have any poison on her body.
Now that it is said that the second lady was poisoned, of course she will not admit it; and will also make a fuss, saying that Red Sleeves is hard to slander her and hurt others.
The second lady hugged Xiao Pei and cried again, and kept saying, "Why is this child so stupid." ”
Xiao Pei cried and fell into the arms of the second lady, crying breathlessly; Even she didn't understand whether she was afraid or in pain, whether she was crying Xiaohuan or her family.
The second master saw that Xiaohuan was dead, and after thinking about it, he stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Now that the matter has been clarified, it was the Diao maid who harmed people, and almost ...... involved."
"Shut up!" When the lady heard his words, she was angry: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb; I don't need you to tell me if you understand it! Don't take care of this and that, take care of yourself first. ”
With a cold smile, Mrs. pointed at the second master: "You tell me now, that Luo's mother ......" She glanced at the second lady and stopped hatefully: "You wait, I'll settle accounts for you later!" ”
Madame didn't finish speaking, but the second master also knew what it meant, and understood that Luo's mother's affairs couldn't be hidden: because Madame didn't want to pretend to be confused anymore; He got up and sat down in a panic, not daring to speak any more.
Red Sleeves looked at the second lady and Xiao Pei, and suddenly her heart jumped: "Pull away Aunt and Xiao Pei!" "Their master and servant have been crying long enough.
Red Sleeves suddenly thought of the reason why Xiaohuan would die: although Xiaohuan was bent on death, she was obviously still concerned about her family, and it was impossible for her to take poison by herself early; For the dying person, even if it is a big sin, others will meet her requirements not to be too excessive when she is dying - Xiaohuan will definitely want to see her family, how could she take the poison early.
And at the beginning, Xiaohuan obviously wanted to deny it, but only later when she saw that the second lady was questioned, she stepped forward: it was even more impossible for her to come to this hall with a mortal heart.
In the hall, it is not easy for Xiaohuan to take poison even if she wants to take it in full view: even if she wants to take out the poison and take it when she is crying on the ground, she will be seen; But she was really just crying on the ground just now, and there were no other small movements.
The girl's sleeves are not wide, and if no one covers her up, someone will definitely find out that she is taking poison.
The only chance for someone to cover her up was when the second lady hugged her and cried; And only at the suggestion of the second lady, Xiaohuan, a girl who is dedicated to the main thing, will die without hesitation.
"Doctor Mo, you save Xiaopei quickly!" Red Sleeves pointed to the second lady and Xiao Pei who were pulled away: "And Auntie." ”
Doctor Mo hurriedly stepped forward to ask for a pulse, and then turned around and said, "She's fine, she's not sick." "He didn't say it was poisoned, just for the face of the red sleeves; Then he naturally took the pulse of the second lady: "Madame is also very good, young grandma can rest assured." ”
Red Sleeves was stunned and looked at Xiao Pei with a tear-stained face: She was not killed by the second lady? In fact, as long as Xiao Pei is alive, she can ask the truth, and the law is very simple; She believed that the second lady had thought of it too.
Then how could the second lady leave Xiao Peilai? Red Sleeves nodded lightly and motioned for Doctor Mo to come back, and looked at the second lady: "Auntie, it's better not to be sad if you are not well." ”
After she finished speaking, she motioned to Cha Xiang and the others to help the second lady over: "Auntie, sit down for a while, and take some hot soup for Auntie." ”
The second lady just cried and shook her head, not knowing whether she didn't want to sit on the chair or didn't want to eat soup.
Red Sleeves glanced at Xiao Pei, and instructed Laiwang's daughter-in-law on the side: "You take someone to hold the Hou Ye's sticker; Speaking of this, she looked at Mrs. Shen, who nodded lightly, signaling that Red Sleeves had concerns despite the unsecret arrangement.
"You don't need to take your Hou Ye's sticker;" Madame's voice was a little cold: "Take your old marquis's sticker." ”
Red sleeves lightly blessed, and continued to instruct Laiwang's daughter-in-law: "Report Xiaohuan's plot to kill the little masters of our mansion and her housemother, and let the government arrest her family and punish her." ”
