Chapter 33: No Good Feast (Part II)
Rao is heart was already prepared, but Aunt Gu's body still couldn't help but tremble, she turned her head, and said, "What does my sister mean by this?" I don't understand. ”
"Do you really not understand or are you pretending to be confused? My sister told me at this time, I can also say a few words to the grandfather, saying that you have the heart to repent. If you don't say it, I must put out ironclad evidence before confessing, then don't blame my sister for not speaking for you, and let you bear the monstrous anger of your lord. ”
"I ......"
Aunt Gu twisted her fingers in the handkerchief, but she still pretended to be calm, gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, are you saying that I put the poisonous snake?" My sister doesn't spew blood. ”
Xin Nian stared at her, suddenly smiled lightly, and said lightly: "Actually, I also know that this thing will not be done by my sister." The concubine murdered the housewife, this crime is not light, like you and me, I was directly killed. Taking such a big risk to kill Mrs., there must be great benefits to make people take risks, but if Mrs. dies, what benefit can my sister get? Will the princess straighten you out? ”
This sentence reached Aunt Gu's heart, she was like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw, even tears came down, as soon as she grabbed Xin Nian's hand, she nodded again and again: "My sister is an understanding person." For no reason, what am I doing murdering my wife? Even if my wife dies without being discovered, what will I gain? Once discovered, whether my wife is dead or alive, I will definitely die, so why should I come? ”
Xin Nian also seemed to empathize, and sighed: "Yes, how can I not know? This is our life as a concubine. Because of this, I have been in Qingliang Pavilion for so many years, but in the end, for the sake of a pair of children, I still have to bow my head. ”
For Aunt Gu, there is nothing more heart-wrenching than this. Because choked up, "Who says it's not? We are all women, we are all the same, we were born with a hard life, not for our children, who wants to look at people's faces in this back house, and intrigue to beg for a living. ”
"Sister's words are in my heart, aren't women just miserable? If you talk about it, since our lives are all bitter together, we should unite, but we can make people by creation, you see in this back house, fighting for fame and fortune, borrowing knives to kill people, and watching the fire from the other side, which one is not a woman? ”
Good guys, why not dig out your heart? It's a stretch of heart. Aunt Gu looked at Xin Nian with teary eyes, and choked up: "Since my sister knows everything, why did she just decide that I did this?" ”
Xin Nian smiled: "I'm lying to my sister." ”
Aunt Gu was stunned for a moment, and before she could get angry, she saw Xin Nian restraining her smile and said in a deep voice: "Although I am cheating on my sister, there must be a reason for it, but I am not just picking someone to cheat her." Who let my sister you are from Lingnan, this poisonous snake is prolific in Lingnan and rare in the north, from this point of view, you can't get rid of suspicion. ”
"I ...... I'm from Lingnan, so I can't just say that I put the poisonous snake. ”
Aunt Gu was anxious to confess: "What if...... What if this is to frame me? Maybe someone will take advantage of this and try to harm me. Sister, you are a smart person, but you can't be deceived. ”
Xin Nian nodded solemnly: "Sister has a point, even so, I want to ask, does my sister recognize this poisonous snake?" What are its habits? You and I have a good talk, maybe we can find clues. ”
Aunt Gu breathed a sigh of relief, because she hurriedly wiped away her tears, her eyes rolled slightly imperceptibly, and Fang said to Xin Nian: "What my sister just said actually reached my heart, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't want to say this to you." Speaking of which, this poisonous snake is famous in Lingnan and is called the ring snake......"
Because of the poisonous habits of the ring snake one by one, thinking that he was so honest, Xin Nian should not doubt himself. It's a pity that the time is too short, if you are prepared, maybe you can still guide in the words and completely throw out the great sins of this day.
Those mothers-in-law usually only know how to talk to their grandmothers, so why do they put themselves in their eyes? Taking advantage of the fact that Aunt Xin is in power, and she is extremely disgusted with them, if she can really put the black pot on anyone's head, forgive those old people and have no chance to argue, even if they are separated, no one will believe it.
However, she was not good at wit, and until she finished all she knew about the snake, she didn't come up with anything to guide her.
Xin Nian held the teacup and seemed to be listening carefully, but in fact, she had been observing Aunt Gu.
At this time, seeing that although the other party's words were coherent, his eyes wandered, and he seemed to be a little distracted, she pretended to exclaim: "It's terrible, it turns out that this ring snake is so poisonous?" Isn't that a bite and hopeless? “
Aunt Gu nodded and said: "If it is in Lingnan, there is also a doctor who specializes in treating snake venom, and if it is delivered in time, it may be able to save a life, but it is sent late, or there is no such doctor nearby, it will definitely die." ”
Xin Nian patted his chest, looking like he had palpitations, and muttered: "There are such doctors in Lingnan because there are many poisonous snakes over there, and we can hardly see such poisons in the capital, where is there a doctor?" In this way, I used my hands to catch poisonous snakes, is it not reckless? In case you miss......"
Speaking of this, her face couldn't help but turn white, Aunt Gu had a trace of happiness in her heart, and hurriedly said solemnly: "But that is to say, my sister is really reckless, I was so scared that I wouldn't be able to breathe at that time, but grandma said that you are a master of art and bold." ”
"Where is the daring of the artist? How many years have I spent in the back house, and how many martial arts do I have? It's just that at that time, I just thought that I couldn't let my wife get hurt, and I didn't think about it, so I started to catch it, and now I think about it, I'm really scared to death. ”
After speaking, he muttered: "In this way, this snake cannot be caught with bare hands, and it must be carried everywhere with a cage?" ”
"Naturally, such a highly poisonous thing, to grasp it with your hands? Isn't that deadly? You can't use a cage, don't you see that the snake is only so thick? What cage can hold it? If you accidentally bite into it, it's over. ”
As long as Xin Nian doesn't doubt herself, Aunt Gu doesn't mind providing her with more detailed information about poisonous snakes, and wishes she could ask more, the more she answers, the more she can clear her suspicions, as long as she wins the trust of the other party, maybe there will be some chance to plant this matter on someone else's head.
So Aunt Gu was very positive, Xin Nian nodded again and again, as if she was shocked by her words, and asked with a touch of her heart: "You can't use a cage, so what do you need to use to hold it?" ”
"You've got to use an iron box, you can't let it get out anyway. Just wait until it reaches the ground, open the iron box and release it, and that's it, I think it should be like this. ”
