Chapter Twenty-Seven: Success
Guide Earl's Mansion is a small earl who relied on the art of industry and commerce, donated money and grain, and the family Langjun did not like to study, and spent a lot of money and several hardships to find a six-grade oblique seal official for Kang Erlang Kang Kaiming.
If the oblique seal official does a good job, and then gets the recommendation of the people in the court, he will naturally have the opportunity to be promoted; But if someone intentionally participates in a book, I'm afraid there is no place to turn over.
The old lady snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "How to deal with the lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, this is a family matter, how can an outsider talk about it." Big lady, if you know each other, it's best to keep your mouth shut, whether Kang Erlang will be promoted or demoted next time depends on your mouth. ”
Chen only felt trembling all over his body, and saluted respectfully with trembling teeth: "Thank you, thank you for the old lady's reminder." ”
"Someone, send off."
The old lady gave an order, and Chen and Kang Kaicheng were invited out of the Zhenguo Mansion in disgrace, and they couldn't help but scold along the way.
The old lady took a sip of hot tea to moisten her throat, and sighed helplessly: "Qi Niang, you are messing with foreign men, not abiding by women's morals, morally corrupt, and ruining the innocent reputation of the ladies of the Gongfu in my town, this is a big crime." Mother Liu, bring the things. ”
Xiao Xiuying and Aunt Fang were stunned, and looked up at the tray in Liu's mother's hand in confusion.
Aunt Fang looked carefully, her slack eyebrows and eyes suddenly twisted into a mess of twisted flowers, tears burst out of her eyes, she staggered a few steps and knelt at Xiao Chengzhong's feet, grabbed his robe fiercely and cried: "Uncle, uncle, no, no, please......"
There was a three-foot white silk on the tray, which was dazzling and cold.
"Mother, is this ......" Xiao Chengzhong asked anxiously and uneasily. After all, he was reluctant to raise the seventh girl himself and loved the most.
The old lady raised her hand and waved it to signal him not to say more, and said fiercely and resolutely: "Seventh lady, the reputation of the ladies of the Zhenguo Mansion is all in your hands. How about you taking this white silk yourself and willingly killing yourself? ”
Xiao Xiuying raised her head sharply and stared at her, her eyes seemed to be a flood beast, wanting to tear the old lady in front of her under her minions. It's just that in an instant, she suppressed the yin owl qi under her eyes, and became a timid, pitiful, and crumbling little white rabbit again.
She's gambling.
Her face was gloomy, and she said weakly: "Grandmother, father, mother, little mother, Qi Niang is willing to die for the reputation of the Guogong Mansion." It's just that the person who really ruined the reputation of the Guogong Mansion was not Qi Niang, but Qi Niang's good sister, Xiao Xiuqing. ”
Xiao Xiuqing, who was standing on the side, was stunned and looked at her inexplicably. Shen Chaoyun has always been smiling at the show, and when she heard that Jiu Niang was also involved, she couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Okay, you slut, you don't want to die, and you have to drag my good daughter into the water." ”
The old lady frowned slightly, and said loudly: "Qi Niang, what does this mean?" ”
"Back to my grandmother, the people of Chang'an City only need to inquire a little, and they will know that Kanggoro has always loved orchids and orchid powder. The little girl was simple-minded and thought that Jiuniang was sincere. Now that I think about it, I understand that Jiuniang is the most vicious. Jiuniang happened to give the little girl a box of orchid incense powder three days ago, and the little girl was planning to use this box of incense powder yesterday, but she never thought that it was a highly toxic incense powder. ”
Xiao Xiuqing anxiously pulled Xiu's handkerchief, and stomped her feet in anger on the spot: "You, you are just nonsense." These boxes of incense powder are all bought by me on East Street a few days ago, I am kind enough to give it to you, Liuniang, me, and Yao Niangzi all have the same incense powder, I, how could I poison you? ”
"Whether it is poisoned or not, you will know it after a test. also asked his grandmother and father to make decisions for Qi Niang, and Qi Niang can be regarded as dead without regrets. ”
After a while, Liu's mother personally took the orchid powder box that Xiao Xiuying said.
Lang Zhong beside him smelled the smell of the incense powder box, frowned slightly, and then took the silver needle to check, and his expression changed greatly. Everyone in the room was amazed.
The needles of the silver needles are really black!
Lang Zhong didn't dare to delay and conceal it, and said truthfully: "Back to the old lady and the grandfather of the country, this box of incense powder is indeed poisonous, and it is the juice of the roots of the red lotus that can make people confused. ”
"Bastard thing, kneel down for me, you, you, how dare you murder your own sister!" At this time, Xiao Chengzhong's face was flushed with anger, and he took the case.
Xiao Xiuqing He had been so wronged, He had been so openly scolded by Aya, his eyes were suddenly red and swollen, and he cried bitterly: "Aya, you, you, you scolded me, I, I was wronged, I really didn't poison ......"
The old lady Zhou's expression became more and more gloomy, it seemed that this Xiao Xiuying was more thoughtful than she thought, and she even kept her back.
"Da Lang, don't worry. This incense powder is indeed given by Jiu Niang, but the incense powder box has changed hands several times, and it is not known who did it? ”
The old lady turned to look at the people on the ground and asked in a deep voice, "Qi Niang, how did you know that this incense powder is poisonous?" ”
Xiao Xiuying had already thought of her words, and said weakly and pitifully: "Little girl, little girl doesn't know, but yesterday the little girl noticed that this incense powder seemed to have a strong strange smell, and she only wiped some and didn't dare to use it again." The connection between yesterday and today's events has only made me understand a little. ”
The old lady didn't want to be false with her anymore, so she said directly: "There is such a vicious person in the Zhenguo Mansion, and this matter will definitely be thoroughly investigated in the future." But the most important thing is to solve the immediate problem first. If Qi Niang was really framed, it would be really pitiful, but it is also a fact that you and Kang Jia Gorou misbehaved in broad daylight. I will take you back to the Pingyao Guanfa in Donghe's hometown to take care of Qing Xiu, and after this scandalous rumor is settled, the old body will find a good family for you. Qi Niang, what do you think? ”
Xiao Xiuying obediently prostrate on the ground, suppressed her crying and said sincerely: "Thank you grandmother, thank you Aya." Qi Niang is willing to always accompany the green lantern of the ancient temple, double cultivation of blessings and wisdom, and do her best to pray for the blessings of the Zhenguo Mansion. ”
With such a delicate and well-behaved pitiful appearance, Xiao Chengzhong was extremely distressed, and his eyes were full of guilt and reluctance. It's a pity that he can't see the cruel eyes of the little lady under him.
Xiao Xiuying can only endure this evil breath first, as long as she is alive, she still has a chance. Where there is life, there is hope.
However, on the seventh day, Xiao Xiuying was sent to Pingyaoguan, Donghe's hometown, for a period of three years, with Qing Xiu, concentrating on cultivation, and could not easily return to Beijing without the call of the old lady. It was only said to the outside that Xiao Qiniang was seriously ill and sent back to the countryside to recuperate.
Wai Yuan.
The old lady Zhou was sitting leisurely on a chair in the courtyard, carefully pruning a pot of potted plants with thick branches and large leaves, her face was soft, and she hummed a little song softly from time to time.
A moment later, Liu's mother entered the courtyard and stood respectfully on one side.
"How's it going?"
After receiving her signal, Liu's mother finally spoke: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, Bi Tao has admitted that it was her own poison, and she has voluntarily hanged herself." Also, Manu's family has been taken care of. ”
