Jiaoyue listened to Ruoyun's words, but couldn't help but snort coldly: "She is pitiful, then when she followed the old woman to make trouble, why didn't she think about ruining our young lady's reputation, how pitiful our young lady would be." That's what she did!"

"Yes, it's all self-inflicted. Miss, and the girl of the Du family, who originally said that her husband's family was good, was so troubled, and now the marriage has also been withdrawn. This kind of girl who has eaten in prison, let alone whether this board will hurt the roots, even if it is not hurt, I am afraid that no one will dare to ask for it. The most relieved is the old lady Nadu, who has been hit by the board at a large age, and I heard that when she was carried back, she was already more out of breath and less in air. It's still a matter of whether we can survive this winter. The more she spoke, the more energetic she became.

But Leng Buding came from behind Zhang's mother's voice: "Okay, are you all doing nothing, saying these gossips in front of the young lady." Why don't you go and take back all the clothes that are drying outside. ”

As soon as Zhang's mother entered the door and listened to Jiaoyue Ruoyun talking about the Du family, she scolded softly, and Jiaoyue and Ruoyun couldn't help but stick out their tongues, stopped the topic and obediently retreated.

Only then did Hua Zhen see Xiao Ju who was following Zhang's mother.

Seeing Hua Zhen coming over, Xiao Ju knelt down respectfully, kowtowed to Hua Zhen three times, and then said, "Thank you, Miss, because of the third lady's silver to save her life, my mother's illness has been relieved." ”

Hua Zhen didn't say anything when she heard this, just looked at her quietly.

Xiao Ju suddenly panicked in her heart, and hurriedly said: "There is also the third miss, the second miss is now ulcerated in the lower half of her body, and the doctor came to see that the wound of the second miss is affected by the infection and now affects the tendons and veins in the legs, even if the wound is healed in the future, I am afraid that I will have to live in bed for the rest of my life." Now the old lady and the eldest lady are lying on the bed, and no one can take care of the second miss, and it is estimated that the second miss will never get up again. ”

"And the third lady..."

Seeing that Xiao Ju wanted to speak and stopped, Hua Zhen knew that she still had something to say: "Say, what else?"

"Although the slave maid's mother is getting better, there is no one around to take care of her, and the slave and maid want to go back to serve the mother. I also hope that the third lady will be gracious. Xiao Ju knelt on the ground as she spoke, not daring to come out.

Hua Zhen nodded when she heard this: "You can go by yourself, but don't let the people of the Hua family see you in the future." ”

When Xiao Ju heard this, she was like being amnestied, and kowtowed again and again: "The slave and maid have thanked the third lady for her grace, and the third lady can rest assured that the slave and maid will never contact anyone in the Hua family again." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and was about to go out.

But he remembered something, paused, and said to Hua Zhen: "By the way, Third Miss, when the slave maid passed by the eldest lady's room yesterday, she overheard the eldest lady instructing Chun Tao to find someone to send a letter to the capital. ”

Xiao Ju's unintentional words fell on Hua Zhen's heart like a thunderclap: "What did you say?"

The slave and maid were not very sure, but they heard it vaguely, saying that they were sent to the capital. As for where it was sent, the slave did not know. There was also the idea of letting the second miss push the third miss into the water at the beginning, and it was the eldest lady who made the second miss see the opportunity to attack the third miss. said that if the third lady died, the family property of the big house would be theirs, and even if the two of them married in the future, the marriage would be much more. ”

Xiao Ju said, and finally her voice was weak.

Hua Zhen listened to it in her heart.

"Xiaoju, do you know who the eldest sister is contacting in the capital?"

Xiao Ju shook her head when she heard this: "The slave doesn't know. ”

Hua Zhen thought for a while to meet Xiao Ju's gaze, and said very seriously: "Even if you leave now, your mother's illness still needs money to be cured, and life also needs a lot of silver." If you help me find out who the big sister is in contact with in Beijing and how she got in touch. I'll give you fifty taels of silver, would you like it?"

For ordinary people, ten years of silver in a year is more than enough, and fifty taels of silver is a huge amount.

If you can get this money, not only can your mother's illness be cured, but the rest of the money will be used to make a small business for my brother to make a living.

As soon as Xiao Ju heard the fifty taels of silver, she couldn't help but feel like she was in her heart, and after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay." ”

Hua Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother Zhang, send her out." ”

After sending Xiaoju away, Zhang's mother turned back to the house and saw Hua Zhen staring at the window in a daze.

I couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Miss, why did you care so much about Xiao Ju's words just now?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen came back to her senses, looked at Zhang's mother, and swallowed back the words that had just reached her mouth.

She couldn't tell Zhang's mother that Hua Yue had a relationship with the Shen family, after all, the current Hua Yue and the Shen family had never met.

After thinking about it, he spoke: "Mother Zhang, don't you think it's strange?"

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"Think about it, the second uncle is a scholar, even if he still has a desire for profit, he should know that if he deceives people too much, I just need to go to the government, and he will be discredited and have nothing. But why did she connive at my second aunt and second sister to bully me so much, does Mother Zhang think that the second uncle would be so stupid? And not to mention the second uncle for the time being, my eldest sister is also a very thoughtful person, she doesn't know that her aunt doesn't know that there are a lot of royal gifts around me, but she dares to be so bold, doesn't Mother Zhang think it's strange?"

"Miss, someone is supporting them. ”

"Maybe someone is directing them. Hua Zhen sighed lightly, her eyes dark.

"But who would do that?" Zhang's mother was a little incredulous when she heard this.

Since Hua Yan died in battle, Hua Zhen is just an orphan girl, who would want to deal with her, and what good is it.

Zhang's mother couldn't figure it out and looked at Hua Zhen.

If there is no previous life, Hua Zhen will not think much about it, because after she returned to the Shen family in her previous life, it didn't take long for Hua Yu to enter Beijing and say that she had asked someone to find an errand, and she would take her family to Beijing with her child.

At that time, because of the relationship between the clansmen, Hua Zhen also went to see them.

Du Shi took the opportunity to lead Hua Yue and Hua Rong out for a walk, and had more contact with some nobles in Beijing, so as to find a good family affair for them.

Hua Zhen didn't think much about it at the time, but when Hua Yue first saw the Shen family sisters later, the appearance of talking to Shen Yuyao under the tree made her suspicious.

But when they met for the first time, how could Hua Yue and Shen Yuyao be so familiar.

It's just that she didn't expect the Shen family to want her life at that time, so she didn't care, and now that she looks at it, she was really stupid in her previous life.

"Mother Zhang has ever thought about why when my father died in battle, Uncle Luo had to send me back to Luzhou. Obviously, my uncle is in the capital, my aunt is still alive, and there are many old acquaintances of my father in the capital, so it is better to stay in the capital than to return to my hometown in Luzhou, but my father asked Uncle Luo to send me back to Luzhou City. and Uncle Luo is obviously alive, but Uncle Luo's name is recorded on the list of soldiers who died in that battle, why should Uncle Luo hide the fact that he is still alive. And Uncle Luo never showed up again, and even for more than a year, he didn't come to see me. Uncle Luo and his father are lifelong friends, even if they believe in the Hua family, they shouldn't ignore me for more than a year, there is only one possibility that he can't ask me about things at all. ”
