73 Evasion
Compared to what Cheng Yi has to do, Cheng Lin's job seems to be very simple, but it is just to interrogate the two maids to see who is the mastermind behind them and how that person plans to act.
But it's just such a little thing, and Cheng Lin didn't do it well.
Because the two maids bit their tongues and committed suicide.
Shen Tingjun looked at Cheng Lin with heavy eyes, "People are dead?" ”
Cheng Lin has a weak heart and weak legs, and he wants to answer his master, "People are not dead", but dead is dead, and he can't let them come back to life.
Cheng Lin was also very aggrieved, how could he have thought that they were just two ordinary little maids, and they still had the integrity to be fearless of death? Just say you have this?
Isn't it good to confess again, although the result is that life is better than death, but it is better to die than to live.
As a result, those two girls are good, but they are really loyal enough, and they bite their tongues and get rid of them. They were righteous, but they suffered him. Against the dark and gloomy gaze of his master, he also wanted to die.
But Cheng Lin is still very young, he hasn't married a wife and had children, and his family is the only seedling he has, and he can't afford to die.
Cheng Lin trembled, "It's the subordinates who are not doing well, the subordinates, the subordinates ......"
Shen Tingjun snorted coldly, "Go back and receive the punishment yourself." ”
"Yes, yes."
Shen Tingjun was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Who is in charge of Yao'er's etiquette?" ”
Cheng Lin knew this question, so he replied eagerly, "Mama Cui is in charge of the overall situation, and the specific things are done by the second and third ladies." ”
As for the procurement, the cleaning and decoration of the courtyard, the hospitality, the banquet and other matters, he did not know, but he could go and check.
Shen Tingjun understood his eagerness to make meritorious contributions, so he ordered, "Go and check the people around the two ladies, and then go to various medical centers in the capital to ask if there are any suspicious people among the people who have gone to buy medicine recently." ”
Cheng Lin responded loudly "Okay", and then waited for a while, seeing that the master had no other instructions, and finally let go of his heart.
Later, Shen Tingjun said something about the aftermath, and seeing that the time was not early, he sent the two subordinates away, and he returned to the main room unhurriedly.
The lights in the main room were out, but he was all too familiar with the road. Even though he hasn't settled here for ten years, after all, it's the courtyard where he lived since he was a child, and he knows every layout of it, and he walks into the room in the dark.
But when he was about to enter the inner room, Shen Tingjun's footsteps stopped.
The room was filled with a light body fragrance and a faint fishy smell, and when these two smells were mixed together, Shen Tingjun was impulsive again.
But after all, he pressed that impulse, bypassed the sixteen-leaf screen, and entered the inner room.
It was pitch black in the bed, thanks to the good eyesight he had cultivated since he was a child, but Shen Tingjun could see every inch of it clearly.
She curled up in the futon, sleeping soundly face in, her delicate figure rising and falling with her breathing.
She must have been so tired that she hadn't even heard him strip and go to bed.
Shen Tingjun went to bed so silently, his fingers curling her long black hair with a fragrant fragrance. He stared at her for a long time, with a completely undisguised possessiveness and affection in his eyes, until he saw the dawn.
*
Sang Xuanyue slept very deeply this night.
It's just that for some reason, her body is so heavy that her waist is like being entangled by a python, and the force is getting tighter and tighter, so that she has difficulty breathing.
Finally, Sang Xuanyue opened her eyes, but she was stunned on the bed for a long time, and she couldn't even move.
Overhead is the familiar curtain, the cold winter plum blossoming proudly in the snow, as if the air is full of plum fragrance.
But in reality, there is no plum fragrance at all, only the lingering fragrance of pine and cypress.
The memories of yesterday flooded into my mind little by little, and Sang twisted the moon's eyes with a lot of complexities. She couldn't help lowering her eyelids slightly, feeling the pain and heartiness in her body, her fingers uncontrollably tugging at the corners of the quilt, and her heart was like a mess.
Sang Xuanyue put on her shoes and got out of bed, and before she could make a sound, Su Jin listened to the subtle movement inside, and had already pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing that his girl was silent, and her face was calm, Su Jin didn't know whether to say those things or not.
But it's not always like that, everything is clear, and you can know it in your heart.
Su Jin squatted down and put on her shoes for Sang Twisting Moon first. Then he pondered for a long time before saying, "When the sky falls today, the Hou Ye personally sent you over." ”
Sang Xuanyue had already guessed this, her face was not sad or happy, she bowed slightly.
"The maid next to the old lady came to pass the word before, saying that you were resting at the old lady's side, and they didn't know whether they believed it or not."
"What about Qing'er? Is he credible? ”
Su Jin nodded, "Young Master didn't think much about it. ”
Su Jin wanted to ask the girl what she had experienced, why she was finally sent over by the Hou Ye, and when she changed the girl's clothes, she saw that the girl had bruises and purple marks on her body.
But Su Jin endured and endured, but he didn't ask if he said anything.
She told her and Su Xin's experience yesterday, "The two of us were originally waiting for the girl outside, but the Hou Mansion also bought us a banquet, and we all sat down." It's just that Su Xin and I were worried about what the girl would say, so we didn't eat much, and only drank two cups of sherbet to quench our thirst. ”
Originally, she didn't expect that there was a problem with the sherbet, but she thought that what she had eaten in the past two days was wrong, and she was a little upset. After that, Su Xin also frequently ran to the clean room, and except for the two of them, the rest of the maids were all safe and sound. This seems to further confirm that it is indeed the food they used to eat that is not proper, not that the feast is not clean.
But when she and Su Xin returned to the Rose Garden, they saw that the spring rain and winter snow were fine. The four of them all ate food in the same pot, and it didn't make sense for her and Su Xin to run back and forth after being tortured, but the two of them were safe.
Su Jin realized that something was wrong, and secretly speculated that something had been added to the sherbet.
But by this time it was too late.
After that, she hurriedly assigned Dongxue to wait for the girl, and it was not until it was dark that Dongxue came back alone, and only told her, "The girl stayed with the old lady to eat." ”
Su Jin was suspicious, but after a while, the maid beside the old lady came to the Rose Garden again, and said that they should not wait for the girl, the girl will accompany the old lady in Heyan Hall tonight.
Su Jin felt that something must have happened to her girl!
She eagerly grabbed the little maid, personally sent her out, and stuffed her with several silver nudes, before the maid spoke, "Miss Sang should be where the Hou Ye is, don't worry." ”
But how could she not be worried?
It was dark, the girl was still where the Hou Ye was, and there was almost no need to think about what happened.
She thought that Hou Ye had used medicine on the girl, but Wu'an Hou Guangfeng Jiyue would not do such a thing. So what else could be the reason for letting his girl stay in the Hou Ye's room overnight?
Su Jin didn't dare to think about it.
She looked at the red mark on the girl's neck, and her eyes were slightly red, "Girl, is it Zhou Baolu?" ”
Sang Xuanyue knew what she was talking about, so she smiled dismally, "It should be her, except for her, no one in this Hou Mansion should hate me so much." ”
"But how dare she? This is the Hou Mansion. If the incident happens, the girl will certainly not be good, but when the matter comes out, how can Zhou Baolu guarantee that she will not be implicated in this matter? Don't you want the position of the lady of the Hou Mansion anymore? Why is she so vicious? ”
Sang Weiyue shook her head, she didn't know why Zhou Baolu had such a big hatred and resentment towards her.
Since she lived in her uncle's house, she has always avoided Zhou Baolu and never quarreled with her. Even if Zhou Baolu asked her for something, she tried her best to satisfy her when she could satisfy her.
The two have lived in the same house for three or four years, and it is said that there should be some affection for them.
But no.
But even if there is no friendship, there should be no hatred, and she has never offended her or provoked her......
It's useless to think about these things now.
Sang Xuanyue took a deep breath, and stood up straight with Su Jin's support.
She was in pain all over, her legs and feet were so sore that she tore the wound as she walked, and she shivered with pain. She didn't want to show it, but she couldn't help but gasp.
Seeing this, Su Jin seemed to be anxious, "Tell me what you want to do, and I'll do it for you." ”
Sang twisted the moon's face was red, his face was flushed, and he finally opened his mouth and whispered, "I want to ...... Toilet. ”
Coming out of the clean room and washing up, Su Jin has already brought the meal.
Just as Sang was having dinner, Qing'er finished the morning class and ran over.
The stupid brother didn't know anything, and thought that his sister was simply resting in the old lady's yard for a night.
He asked curiously, "Why does the old lady want you to accompany her?" The old lady has been busy for so many days for the third girl's ceremony, isn't she tired? Sister, when did you wake up early and come back? When I got up to study, I heard Sister Su Jin say, you came from the old lady before dawn, isn't my sister used to sleeping in the old lady? ”
Sang Xuanyue said "um" a few times and ate silently.
This meal was a little choking, and Sang Xuanyue couldn't swallow it. Her throat seemed to be blocked, and she only felt uncomfortable choking and indigestion.
Finally finished breakfast, Sang Xuanyue looked at his younger brother and said, "Let's go to the new house for a few days, okay?" ”
Su Jin was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and he was stunned when he heard the words. But she didn't say anything, just looked at the red marks on the back of the girl's neck, and thought to herself, it's better to avoid going out, but when she goes out later, let the girl wear a scarf and cover the whole neck.
Qing'er didn't know why her sister was going to the new house at this time.
There is not even furniture in the new house, and the yard is not neatly arranged.
But since my sister proposed, there must be other considerations.
Qing'er asked tentatively, "Does my sister want to sacrifice her father and mother during the New Year?" "Now there are only five or six days left before the Chinese New Year.
Sang Xuanyue hesitated for a moment before saying unclearly, "Yes." ”
Qing'er immediately became happy, "We have our own house, so we should put our parents' tablets on the sacrifice." In the past, we sent people under the fence, and we could only do these things secretly. Now that we have a house, we can sacrifice as much as we want, and burn as many gold and silver ingots as we want for my father and mother. We can also prepare many, many tributes for my father and mother, and burn some big houses and chariots, horses, and paper figures for my father and mother. ”
“…… Good. ”
Qing'er went back to pack her things, and Sang Xuanyue also packed up her luggage.
Due to the rush of time, there are only a lot of things that can be packed. Sang Xuanyue looked at the rest of the items in the house, and once again couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Obviously, when they first moved here, they only brought a wagon of luggage, but now in order to move all the things out, the carriage has to run back and forth at least twice.
Then I can only let Su Jin clean up later.
Before going out, Su Jin took a rabbit fur scarf and brought it to Sang Xuanyue.
Sang Xuanyue was still a little unhappy, "It's not too cold today." "Seeing that it is noon, the sun is warm, and it is a little hot to wear a scarf at this time.
Su Jin pointed to the root behind her ears and the back of her neck, and vaguely reminded, "Others will see it." ”
Sang Xuanyue's white face suddenly turned red.
She turned her head slightly to look at Su Jin, but the heat on her cheeks kept rising.
She had spent the whole day avoiding thinking about yesterday, and she tried her best to act as if nothing had happened. But Su Jin's finger pierced all her defenses, making her suddenly red-faced and helpless.
Su Jin saw that her girl was embarrassed, and she felt sorry in her heart, and even persuaded her, "Girl, it's all in the past, don't think about it." ”
Sang Xuanyue didn't speak, and after a long time, she said, "After I go to the new house, you go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for me." ”
Su Jin almost immediately thought of what the girl needed, the medicine hurt her body, and she did not agree with the girl to take it. It seems more secure than giving birth to an illegitimate child who has no name or a penny.
Su Jin said, "When you are settled, I will go." ”
The group quickly went out of the door, and they didn't even have time to inform the old lady.
Maybe it's not that I didn't have time to notify you, but I don't know how to notify you.
However, some things can be escaped, and some things can only be sad. The old lady is not thin on them, and Sang Xuanyue doesn't want to leave a "mean and unkind" impression on the old lady.
She asked Su Xin to go to Heyan Hall and inform the old lady that the old people of the Sang family had come, and she intended to spend the New Year in the new house and worship her ancestors in the ancestral hall. Because the incident was too sudden, she didn't have time to tell the old lady, and she came back to the old lady after the year to ask for guilt.
Su Jin and Su Xin went out together, and the two came back together.
Pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and pedestrians carrying burdens and children were eagerly rushing home, and there were not many people on the road, but the mulberry house was lively at this time.
The masters and their little apprentices are installing the stepping bed.
Because it was purchased suddenly, the installation had to be expedited, so the masters were busy lighting candles.
The nurse herself stared at it and asked the craftsmen to do their work carefully, this is the bed arranged for their girls, and there can be no flaws.
Seeing that the craftsman was doing the work to the end, and the work was indeed beautiful, the nurse put her mind at ease and went to the flower hall to find the girl.
The nurse is dazzled, but she is dozens of years older, and she is still a little shrewd.
The old man saw the traces on Sang Xuanyue's body, and immediately knew why the girl didn't say hello, and ran over directly.
However, which of the eight calves bullied the girl, she had to ask. If she knew which villain didn't do anything wrong, she would have to curse their ancestors for eighteen generations.
Unified to say to everyone.,I didn't update it yesterday.,I'm more than a baby.,But it's blocked...... You know everything, right? It's so miserable, I got up early today and hurriedly revised the text, and then waited for the review, but until now, I haven't passed the review, so I continue to wait...... Crying chirping.
