Chapter 47: The Incident
Then there was a cacophony of human voices, mixed with the cries of women and the screams of grandmothers, as well as the dull sound of wooden sticks hitting the body.
Lin Zhiyu wanted to put the quilt over his head and take a nap for a while, but his right eyelid suddenly jumped twice, and it was really noisy outside, so he was really sleepy, so he casually touched a coat and put it on, ready to get out of bed and wash.
Before he could clean up, he saw Qiaoxiu hurriedly barging in, her hair was still a little messy, and the belt of her coat had not been fastened, as if something urgent had happened.
"Miss, let's go out and take a look, Xiaolian, she's in trouble!"
Qiaoxiu's injury has not healed yet, but she can walk normally, but the violent running just now seems to involve the injury, and she has to hold on to the door frame to slow down.
Lin Zhiyu combed his hair, and the uneasy feeling in his heart became more and more intense: "Xiaolian, what happened to her?" Where is it now? ”
"When Mama Xu woke up in the morning, she bumped into Xiaolian and a Laipi monk in an empty room without a matchmaker, and now I don't know where they were taken!"
"What!" Qiaoxiu's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, smashing straight into the top of Lin Zhiyu's head, "No, this is absolutely impossible, I know Xiaolian's temperament best, she will never do such a thing!" ”
Qiaoxiu stepped forward, helped Lin Zhiyu pull up his hair with his hands and feet, simply used a hairpin to hold it, and walked out of the room quickly.
Coincidentally, Mama Xu was also coming here, Lin Zhiyu was thinking about Xiaolian in her heart, she was very anxious, and she bumped into Mama Xu head-on.
"Which one doesn't have long eyes...... Girl? Mama Xu stumbled for a moment, and was about to open her mouth to scold, but when she saw that it was Lin Zhiyu, her attitude immediately eased, "Hey, I was just about to find you!" ”
Lin Zhiyu grabbed Mama Xu's hands and asked eagerly, "Is it Xiaolian's matter?" How is she now? ”
"I'll just say that they made such a big move that they woke up the big girl!" Mama Xu pulled out her hand, patted her thigh, frowned, and said, "It's not a secret, it's Miss Xiaolian's matter." ”
Mama Xu sighed as she spoke, and then said: "But don't worry, big girl, such a maid will be a scourge sooner or later, and it will affect the reputation of the master, I will explain it all, and I will not reveal a word." ”
"Mama Xu, could you be mistaken? Xiaolian has been serving me for a long time, she is timid, she will never do such a thing! ”
"I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, big girl, I can see these two eyes clearly, the white arms and thighs, the two of them are entangled like that, and they lose their conscience, this is a temple, in front of the Buddha, they actually did such a filthy thing!"
Mama Xu had a disgusted expression on her face, and she snorted several times, and her tone was also very disdainful: "Yesterday, I saw that she looked like that, and I knew that this little girl was in her heart, maybe she was complaining that I had affected her good things here!" ”
Qiaoxiu on the side was panicked when she saw Lin Zhiyu, and hurriedly said, "Mama, then do you know, where is Xiaolian now?" In any case, it's the person next to Miss, and when we meet her, it's better to ask clearly, isn't it? ”
"Xiaolian and the monk were very excited, and I was afraid that I would disturb the rest of the nobles, so I asked them to gag their mouths with rags and throw them into the firewood room."
Mama Xu put on a flattering smile again: "After all, if such an ugly thing happens, we don't dare to do anything, so let's wait for Zhaoyi Niangniang to wake up, and then make a decision together." ”
"Is there a mistake in Mama? Xiaolian is serving my young lady, what does it have to do with Jiang Zhaoyi? Qiaoxiu wondered.
"How does it matter? When the emperor left, he said that Zhaoyi Niangniang often helped Concubine Ling deal with some things in the palace, and she was smart, if there was anything she couldn't handle, she would find Zhaoyi Niangniang! ”
Lin Zhiyu took a deep breath and asked again: "Why don't you do this, Mama will show me a way, I will briefly understand the situation, and I won't go in, how about it?" ”
"No, if something happens, when Zhaoyi Niangniang blames it, I won't be able to eat and walk around." Mama Xu waved her hand again and again.
"Then Zhaoyi Niangnian is awake now?" Qiaoxiu worried.
"How is that possible?" Mama Xu shook her head, "Zhaoyi Niangniang is a pregnant person, she lives far away from here, and she should still be resting now." ”
After all, they have been masters and servants for many years, and there is still friendship, in case Lin Zhiyu lets people go out of selfishness at that time, these people with status and status will naturally have nothing to do, and the one who will be scolded is himself.
Mama Xu then persuaded: "Big girl, how much is friendship worth these years?" Your wedding with the third prince is imminent, if you let the maids around you ruin it, it won't be worth it! ”
"Let her go, she is comfortable and free, if you are in the know, won't you go around saying that the eldest girl of the Lin family connived at her maids? It's yourself who influences! ”
When Lin Zhiyu heard this, he was really a little angry: "Mama is also a person who has lived in the palace for several years, isn't Mama clear about what is in this palace?" Is what you see in front of you necessarily true? ”
Mama Xu was a little displeased: "Even if Miss Xiaolian was wronged, but her body was also looked at, if she was really wronged, normal girls would be killed by shame!" But her reaction was as if she wasn't at fault at all! ”
"I kindly persuaded the eldest girl, since kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, I can't take care of it, just wait for Zhaoyi Niangniang's disposal."
A future third princess may be replaced at any time, the heavenly family values the reputation of women the most, and she kindly persuaded her, but she was still taught a lesson by this girl who didn't know anything?
Mama Xu felt that Lin Zhiyu had refuted her face, and she didn't want to give a good face, so she shook her hand, turned her head and left.
Qiao Xiu said sadly: "This Cheng'en Temple is so big, who knows which firewood house Xiaolian is in?" You can't knock it out one by one, can you? ”
"Then knock it one by one." Lin Zhiyu's face sank.
Listening to the sound, it should not be far from the wing, and looking at Mama Xu's fearful appearance, it is estimated that she will also ask someone to strictly guard outside the firewood room, which is not a difficult thing to think about.
Lin Zhiyu and Qiaoxiu checked slowly with their few memories, and they also met a few grandmothers along the way, I don't know if it was because of Mama Xu's explanation, but they really didn't know what to ask.
"Chu Nian? Why are you here? ”
Just as the two of them were bumping into each other like headless flies, Lin Zhiyu saw a person dressed in white standing under the willow tree on the side, wasn't Chu Nian or who?
Hearing Lin Zhiyu's voice, Chu Nian also seemed to be startled, and slowly turned around: "I heard someone making noise and noise in the morning, so I came over to take a look." ”
"But isn't there anyone watching over here? You are a foreign man, how can you come in? ”
This area is basically divided by people, and without permission, the Royal Guards will never let people in.
Chu Nian didn't answer Lin Zhiyu's question directly, but casually pointed in one direction and said, "Just now I saw several people with sticks coming over there, if you don't want me to be here, you can go over and call them back." ”
