Chapter Forty-Eight: The Drugged Man
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was temporarily resolved on the surface.
Layue was uneasy in her heart: looking at the appearance of the mother and daughter, they did not drug themselves. And what they said is also reasonable, although they are bad, but they also spare their lives, and they will never do that kind of thing that hurts others and takes them in, is it really not them who drug themselves?
But that doctor is obviously my mother-in-law's eldest doctor.
She told Mama Chang about the doubts in her heart and asked her to help analyze it, and Mama Chang also felt that the mother and daughter didn't look like people who would do such things.
"Besides," Mama Chang helped Layue to walk around in the yard and exercise, "they have made such a poisonous oath, and the old slave shouldn't see it as a fake." ”
"But I didn't offend anyone but them?" Layue walked out of a sweat, and sat down in the rosewood circle chair that she often sat on under the eaves of the porch with her hand on the eaves of the porch, "This looks like I have a deep hatred for me, and I came here to kill me, and I didn't kill my parents to dig anyone's ancestral grave, can you want to harm me like this?" ”
Chang Mama hesitated to speak for a long time, but she still didn't dare to say it.
Layue said, "Mama, you can ask whatever you want, what is this?" The people who watched it were uncomfortably panicked, is there anything else that our master and servant can't say? ”
"Young lady," Mama Chang thought for a while and said in a low voice, "It rained that day, and on the table in the back garden of Phoenix Temple, whose hat did you let the old slave take?" ”
Layue's face flushed, and she thought of Dai Xueyu's adventure to have a private meeting with herself, and her heart actually beat the drum.
Mama Chang saw that she already knew it in her heart, and she said in a low voice, "Young lady, don't get me wrong, the old slave either wants to inquire about the young lady's private affairs, or thinks it will have something to do with this matter?" ”
"Impossible." Layue said with a cut of iron, "Mama, don't ask that person, I'll talk to you about him when I get back, it's all purely accidental." ”
"Young lady, don't say it so absolutely." Mama Chang made her a pot of tea, waited for the chilled watermelon to eat two pieces, and said, "Have you forgotten the last time you were robbed overnight?" Thanks to Shi Gongzi ......"
"Smack!"
The watermelon fell to the ground.
Layue froze, and Mama Chang was startled, "Young lady, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Mama, you're right, I didn't think of it because of your reminder?" Layue's expression changed, and her eyes darkened with anger, "There is indeed someone who wants me to die, why did I forget her?" ”
"Who? Who is it? When did the young lady offend someone else? ”
La Yue didn't answer her, just thinking blankly about what Shi Yunqing said to herself that day, in exchange for the reckless and impulsive mistake of forgiving her cousin in the middle of the night.
"Mama," Layue said suddenly, "Tomorrow Xiaoyun in Shi Gongzi's mansion will send someone to pick me up and play, you go and talk to my mother......" She paused, "Don't mention letting Wanqing go with you, just say that Xiaoyun misses me and asks me to go over to play, if my mother asks if Shi Gongzi is not there...... You can't tell you clearly, the Phoenix Temple sent us back the day before yesterday and is still there. That's all there is to it. ”
Mama Chang was about to go, and Layue stopped again, "If my mother said to let Wanqing go with me, you would answer for me, saying that I was going to take her with me." ”
Yecheng in June was very hot, but Layue thought of that girl, the girl who ran out like a gust of wind on the red carpet at the gate of Shifu and hugged Shi Yunqing's arm to be coquettish.
A layer of cold sweat broke out.
Ma Xiang'er!
She muttered this name in her mouth, this girl who she didn't know but had almost killed herself twice, what a great ability! He can even say that the doctor did not care about his own life to harm himself.
I'm going to have a good meeting with this opponent tomorrow!
Early the next morning, Layue washed and dressed up early, dressed in plain clothes, with a simple silver hairpin on her head, and all the jewelry pendants were plain.
Zhang Wanqing also came early, Layue had just cleaned up, and she had already come.
Layue deliberately didn't say that what Shifu was going to go to would be the birth of Shi Yunqing's deceased mother. Sure enough, Zhang Wanqing was dressed like a peacock, with a head full of pearls, a pink skirt and a red skirt, and even the earrings and hairpins were a complete set of coral beads.
The lips are painted bright red, but she is more and more seductive, and she is very seductive.
Hehe, Layue sneered in her heart, today I see you making a fool of yourself, although the Dead Day also has a birthday word, which has the meaning of celebration, but even if the little girl who is not out of the pavilion is at most, it is only one or two pieces of colored jewelry, and it is strange that she is dressed like this and is not pointed at by others.
"Sister-in-law, why are you dressed so plainly?"
"Your brother is not at home, I should be like this according to the rules, how can I compare to your little girl's family, how coquettish and how to come."
She likes to listen to what she said, and smiled shyly, "Then you don't have to be so plain, even the hairpin is silver, it seems to be ......" She knew that she had said the wrong thing, and slapped herself on the mouth, "It's okay, Wanqing lost her words." By the way, sister-in-law, do you know what kind of party they have today? Flowers? Or something else? I didn't have time to prepare anything? ”
Layue deliberately shook her head and said, "I don't know, we'll know when we get there, I haven't seen Xiaoyun for more than half a month, it must be an ordinary small party, right?" ”
The two went out of the house together, and the mother-in-law saw them off at the door, looking at her daughter's beautiful dress but not vulgar, she nodded very satisfied, just with Wanqing's appearance, I didn't believe that the eldest son of the Shi family was not moved at all.
Look at her daughter-in-law again, she pouted with contempt, although her husband can't dress up too brightly when he's not at home, but she doesn't need to dress like a filial piety, right? Rouge is not needed, the mouth is pale as if it is dying.
But she is happy to see her daughter-in-law make a fool of herself, so she will not say anything to remind her.
The carriage sent by Shifu was very gorgeous, Xiaoyun didn't come, but the person who came to pick them up was amazing, it turned out to be the big lady next to Mrs. Shi.
Layue didn't know it, but she just felt that this subordinate was very extraordinary, with moderate words and atmospheric manners, and she was even more elegant than the housewife of ordinary people.
The man smiled lovingly and looked Layue up and down, nodded with satisfaction and helped Layue into the carriage with his own hands, and then looked at Zhang Wanqing, who was about to come up, and the old lady frowned and blocked the door of the car.
Layue hurriedly said, "This is my sister-in-law, named Zhang Wanqing, I want to go with me today, I didn't tell Xiaoyun in advance, and I ask my grandmother to forgive me." ”
The grandmother hurriedly smiled and turned around, "Since she is Mrs. Xing's sister-in-law, she is naturally also a distinguished guest, the old slave is abrupt, forgive your sins." ”
She moved her body away, and although she said words of forgiveness, she acted generously, neither arrogantly nor humbly, without the slightest humiliation of a servant.
Zhang Wanqing had the heart to please the people of Shifu, so she took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and handed it over, so she wanted to take the old mother's hand and learn the same treatment as her sister-in-law.
Who knew that the old lady didn't know if she didn't see it or if she wanted to, so she turned her head and ignored it and went to the carriage behind.
