Chapter 16: The Villain's Ambition
Jade and Jiaoyue are actually sisters? This sudden news made the people present couldn't help but be very surprised, the number of subordinates in the Wen Mansion was hundreds, and no one thought that they who thought they were orphans were actually sisters.
"How did you know about it?" Jade was shocked in her heart, even Mrs. Dou didn't know about this matter, where did the eldest lady know about it?
Wen Yukou's heart was cold, and she naturally knew what to do. After Jiaoyue died in her previous life, she went to clean up with Hua Yue, and found a letter from Jiaoyue to Jade under the pillow.
"Jade, it doesn't matter how I know what I do, what matters is now. I'll give you two choices, one is to withdraw from Jiaoyue's grievances, and the other is to inform me of the situation that day. You can rest assured that I will not stop you from either one. Wen Yukou's voice seemed to come from the horizon, distant and calm, reaching Jade's ears.
Jade seems to be in a great entanglement, one side is the tragic death of her own sister, and the other side is her own safety, she doesn't know how to choose. Human life is like a mustard, and in the eyes of those superior people, I am afraid that it will not be their turn to speak......
"Jade, come, sit down first, think slowly." Wen Yukou instructed Mama Gui to loosen her tie, personally took her hand, and gently comforted her: "I lost Jiaoyue, and I have to make up for someone in the courtyard." If you are afraid, I will discuss with the third sister in the coming day and transfer you to the eldest girl. ”
A rough maid like Jade has never been so close to a master, not to mention the eldest lady of the Wen family, who has risen recently, and personally promised to promote her to the eldest girl. Wen Yukou's hands were very soft and warm, and there was a faint fragrance on her body, which smelled particularly good and calmed her mind, Jade quietly raised her eyes and had an idea in her heart.
My sister shouldn't have died in vain.
Seonan Hospital.
After please, the old lady sat on the red sandalwood chair, as if she was not very happy. Seeing that the old lady's face was pale, Dou's heart was not very relaxed, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since the old lady is lazy, why don't you ask your daughter-in-law to call a few female gentlemen to come and tell us a few books to relieve boredom?" ”
"I'm tired of hearing the stories told by those female gentlemen, what kind of talented and beautiful women, heroes save beauty, and I can't always come up with something new." The old lady showed a little disgust, then took a sip of tea, and suddenly remembered something, and said to Wen Yukou: "Dou girl, I heard that there was some movement in the courtyard yesterday, what are you doing?" ”
Everyone looked at Wen Yukou, her name has been mentioned more and more by the old lady recently, and she has a great tendency to rise. However, after all, Dou's mother and daughter have been favored for the past few years, although Wen Yukou's temperament has changed greatly, but there is no solid background foundation, so everyone is still hesitant, neither too close nor estranged.
Wen Yukou walked out gently, with a fresh smile on her white face, and bent down to give a blessing: "Old lady, it can be seen that your old man has fiery eyes, and any noise in the house cannot be hidden from you." But before you say it, Jade wants to ask your old man for forgiveness, don't blame Jade Cardamom. ”
"This girl is really cunning, she didn't tell me quickly, but she begged me for mercy first." The old lady smiled and stretched out her hand slightly: "Okay, you say, I don't blame you." ”
Seeing that the old lady stretched out her hand to Wen Yukou, Wen Yulan's eyes suddenly flashed a few traces of hatred, but she couldn't go and knock that hand off, she could only watch Wen Yukou greet the old lady with the most disgusting smile and hold that hand. Isn't the old lady the most spoiled by himself, why do you frequently praise this cheap breed these days, or in front of everyone......
Dou Shi looked calm, she motioned to her daughter to be calm, a few sharp lights shot out of her eyes, swept Wen Yukou's thin body fiercely, and then hid it again. In the past few days, she has seen that Wen Yukou is a hard bone to gnaw, and the previous warm water boiling cannon is no longer effective, so she has to restrain herself for the time being and make plans again.
"Cheng Ying has been depressed during his illness and refuses to let me worry, so Yukou privately thought that it would be good to learn shadow puppetry outside and make him happy. But Yukou is the young lady of Wenfu, and the news of learning that shadow puppet play is not good after all, since the old lady already knows, Yukou will stop when she goes back. ”
The old lady's eyes stared at Wen Yukou like an eagle's hook, but when she saw that this little granddaughter's eyes were honest and clear, without the slightest sign of lying, she secretly pondered in her heart and said with a smile: "I am very pleased that you have a deep relationship with Chengying's sister and brother, how can I blame you?" And it's not serious, it's just a little fun in the boudoir, it's nothing. ”
"Since the old lady doesn't blame me, and today is very boring, Yukou is not talented, I want to perform this shadow puppet show for the old lady in person, so that the old lady can help me check it, see if it's good." Wen Yukou blinked, raised her chin, and looked eager to show something good that she had learned, which made people laugh.
"Well, then we're going to feast our eyes on it today." The old lady nodded.
"Yes, let's go get ready."
At this time, Wen Yusheng, who was sitting in the back, glared at Wen Yukou several times, turned her head and said to Wen Yuzhi disdainfully: "Look at the eldest sister, it is lawless to rely on the old lady to give her a good face, and she actually went to learn shadow puppetry, but she is still a dignified daughter, she is really laughing to death, not as elegant and dignified as the second sister at all." ”
Wen Yuzhi said softly: "Fourth sister, the eldest sister has her reasons for doing this, since you can't get used to her, if you don't look at her, why bother stepping on her?" ”
Wen Yusheng pouted, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she was very dissatisfied: "I just can't get used to her villainous appearance!" ”
Wen Yuzhi smiled when he saw that his sister's rotten wood could not be carved, and when he saw the person who came in behind Wen Yukou, his face changed suddenly. Even if she wore a mask and changed her outfit, she could recognize that this thin and slender person was the rough maid in her yard.
How did Jade run away to her big sister? Wen Yuzhi's mind was twisting, and he was afraid that this was not a simple shadow puppet show.
Wen Yuzhi quietly said a few words to Aunt Qi and Wen Yusheng, Wen Yushang frowned, looked at Wen Yukou angrily, and finally nodded. The two of them stood up in unison and walked to the center of the hall to say goodbye to the old lady. There are one and two, and some don't like to watch shadow puppet shows, and the masters who feel vulgar also retire, which is what the old lady is accustomed to. Only Dou's mother and daughter are left in the most difficult back hall, the main lady Xie in the second room, and Aunt Zhang, the new favorite in the fourth room. This is exactly the scene that Wen Yukou expected to see, the murderer, the witness, and the judge were all present.
After a while, things were already arranged, a shadow puppet shelf, a large white curtain, a few little figures with silk threads, and Wen Yukou and Jade standing behind the shelves.
"Old Taijun, the story I am telling today is an unjust case in the Song Dynasty, called the "Shocking Jade Case"! ”
