Chapter 120: "Surprise" Adds more to the unheard 99 roses
The daughter of a wealthy family has probably never seen such a scene.
As soon as Nie Shenyu pushed open the door, he saw that the room was full of snakes on the table, long and short, red and green, circling and wriggling, spitting snake cores beside a corpse. Listening to the sound of the door opening, a few of them turned their triangular heads and looked over.
Ah---- screamed, Nie Shenyu took a few big steps back, and one fell to the ground without standing firmly. When the snakes saw the door open, they writhed and crawled out.
The wick hurriedly went over and closed the door again.
Nie Shenyu was frightened and cried, grabbed Ji Man's hand, and said while crying: I knew that it was not good for you to call me here, there were some things in it, how could you be like this in this house!
Ji Man pursed her lips, she was also a little frightened, she thought of many ways to attack her, but she didn't expect it to be a room full of snakes. Originally, she wanted to let the wick take people to ambush in the yard, and if there was any movement, she would take down the people, she went back with Nie Shenyu, and let the wick make a show for Nie Shenyu, so that Nie Shenyu could also help talk in front of the old lady.
In the end, it is the only two Nie family members, what they say together, how can the old lady believe it, right?
As a result, I didn't expect that the play was not done with a wick, this was a big move directly, which scared Nie Shenyu into collapse.
You must have done it on purpose, I'm going to find the old lady to call the shots! Nie Shenyu was still weak, took the hand of the maid Zelan behind her, stood up tremblingly and ran out.
There is also a corpse inside, which is naturally a big deal, and it is not something that can be handled in the backyard. Ji Man followed Nie Shenyu to the main courtyard, and at the same time asked the wick to inform Mo Yuhou.
The dead person was Xiao Wu, a young man who was bought in the kitchen, a very honest young man, Ning Yuxuan also came to the main courtyard, and listened to the wick kneeling in the middle of the room and said:
The lady went out of the house, and the slave maid had planned to take everyone to the kitchen to make some snacks for the lady, so that the lady could come back and enjoy it. Unexpectedly, the kitchen was occupied by the people of the Rose Garden, and the slave and maid had to take people back, but as soon as they returned, they heard movement in the master's house, and the slave and maid went to see it with a few servants. When the door was opened, he saw snakes all over the ground, so he quickly locked the door, and then heard two shouts, only to realize that there were people inside.
How could the people in the kitchen carry a cage of snakes to the Feiwan Pavilion? The snake also bit people to death, and they were all poisonous snakes.
Nie Shenyu was still sitting next to the old lady crying, and his body was still trembling: That scene was too scary, and the wick lied to Shenyu that there was a surprise, if I wasn't used to pushing the door first to see before entering, I would definitely be bitten by a poisonous snake.
The wick said solemnly: The slave maid is not wrong, it is indeed a 'surprise', who treats my master so well, and specially asked Xiao Wu to send so many poisonous snakes, the slave maid only hopes that the old lady will be aware of everything.
Ning Yuxuan glanced at Ji Man deeply, and then said: I will naturally let the people from the Criminal Department personally investigate this matter, and if it is not the snake in the Evening Pavilion, it will naturally find someone to clean it up.
In addition, the concubine went to the street today, and asked the price of some things by the way. Ji Man glanced at Qian Lianxue, who had been sitting next to him and had been unresponsive, turned over and took out the account book, and said with a list: The repair cost of the Cedar Courtyard will not exceed one thousand taels in total according to the medium-priced materials sold outside, inside and out.
And the person recommended by Lian Xue reported a total of more than 3,000 taels. This matter, the concubine has also been reported to the official.
Qian Lianxue finally moved, raised her eyes and looked at Ji Man deeply, then stood up, knelt in front of the old lady and Mo Yuhou and gasped: Lian Xue didn't know about this matter, and asked the old lady and the Hou Ye to forgive her.
She is a person who welcomes people everywhere, and no one knows how many masters there are behind her. Qian Lianxue felt that Nie Sangyu's method was too shallow, so what if she caught her? The old lady and the Hou Ye believed her, so naturally they wouldn't blame her much. As for the two letters, it would be fine if they were in her hands, for there were only commands, no titles, and she could not testify that they were addressed to her.
Qian Lianxue coughed lightly twice, and a harmless face of humans and animals was raised, looking at the two people sitting pitifully.
The old lady was silent for a while, but asked: What do you think is the most appropriate way to deal with it?
Ji Man closed the account book and said: Although Lianxue is not at fault, she has given a bad head to the people in the house. If everyone thinks that they can make a fortune in the Hou Mansion in the future, then how can they make rules? The concubine thinks that the punishment should not be too heavy, Lian Xue is an indisputable person, and her position is not very important to her, so she simply demoted the concubine to set an example, I believe that Lian Xue can accept it, isn't it?
Qian Lianxue's heart tightened, and she looked up at Mo Yuhou. Nie Sangyu's words blocked her, she naturally couldn't say a word that she couldn't accept, so she could only see Mo Yuhou help her intercede.
She has always been low-key and well-behaved in the house, and she has also helped Ning Yuxuan do a lot of things, and there is no reason why he should not help her.
But this time, Ning Yuxuan listened to Ji Man's words, but just nodded: It's okay.
What's okay? What's the matter? Qian Lianxue's eyes widened slightly, but she was afraid of losing her temper, so she hurriedly lowered her head and coughed lightly.
Mo Yuhou wouldn't not know that once she was demoted to a concubine, the maids around her would have to be divided a lot, and even the courtyard would have to be moved, how could she allow it?
She asked herself if she was doing so much and doing so many things, and no one could see what she did. It's also a good effort for a few masters, and each of them completes what they want. Although he kicked Nie Sangyu's iron plate, it was not without a solution in the future. Mo Yuhou's thoughts, why couldn't she suddenly understand it?
Qian Lianxue was demoted to a concubine, and the maids around her were personally picked up by Ji Man and divided half of them, and all of them went to the fragrance courtyard of Feiwan Pavilion and Alfalfa. However, the old lady understood that Qianlian Xue was not in good health, so she didn't let her move, and she still lived in Cedar Courtyard, but the food and clothing were not as good as before.
Ji Man looked at her somewhat stiff face, and said with a slight smile: It's okay, the days are still long, Sister Pian Xue.
Liu Hanyun saw that she was about to give birth, but there was such a bloody thing in the house, which was extremely unlucky. She went out of the courtyard and wanted to go to the old lady's Buddhist hall to ask for a blessing for the unborn child, and happened to meet Wen Wan who came to ask for blessings.
Wen Wan's belly is a little smaller than Liu Hanyun's, but it's not much smaller. Although Liu Hanyun is already an aunt and Wen Wan is just a maid, but seeing Wen Wan, Liu Hanyun still habitually saluted.
Master Yun is about to give birth, isn't it? Why did you come out too? Wen Wan knelt on the futon next to her and asked in a low voice.
Liu Hanyun smiled slightly: Something happened in the house, didn't you also come to ask for peace of mind?
Wen Wan hooked the corners of her lips: Since that lady became a lady, haven't things in this house not been broken? Burning one to death today and poisoning one tomorrow, I am really uneasy in my heart.
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Liu Hanyun bowed to the Buddha statue and said: If your hands are not stained with blood, naturally nothing will smell coming.
Wen Wan laughed sarcastically: What kind of bad things have I done? Haven't I ended up in the point where I can't have a reputation now? It can be seen that in this courtyard, only ruthless people can live.
Liu Hanyun opened his mouth and looked at Wen Wan's somewhat hideous side face, but still didn't say anything.
It's just that her stomach suddenly hurt, and for a while, as if she was about to give birth.
Tsubaki skin. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and Liu Hanyun gritted his teeth and shouted. She's almost full-term, but she doesn't want to give birth today.
Tsubaki had been watching her carefully, and when she saw this, she hurriedly shouted: Come on, the cloud master is about to give birth!
This temple is next to the main courtyard, and it is only a few steps away from the old lady's residence. But Liu Hanyun was already lying on the futon in pain, and everyone didn't dare to move her when they saw this, but Wen Wan on the side hurriedly said: Tear the curtain next to her to cushion her, and give birth here!
The news quickly reached the ears of the old lady and Ji Man, the old lady couldn't move, but Ji Man hurriedly rushed over. Two pregnant women are in the Buddha hall, and one is about to give birth, which is really messy.
Wen Wan was originally kneeling beside Liu Hanyun, looking at her miserable appearance, her stomach hurt a little for some reason.
She is just nine months old, and she hasn't reached the time of birth yet, right? Reaching out and grabbing the hem of Sandalwood's skirt, Wen Wan couldn't hold back after all, and exclaimed in pain.
What Ji Man has to face is that two pregnant women have to give birth to a child in the Buddhist hall at the same time.
One head and two big, Ji Man hurriedly ordered someone to find a midwife, and asked a group of maids to go down to prepare the things to be used in childbirth, and by the way, let the wick invite Mo Yuhou.
The sound of two women screaming at the same time was much more lively than when she gave birth to a child alone. The expression on Ning Yuxuan's face was quite calm, and he just stood guard outside the house with her.
There were screens in the Buddhist hall, all the doors and windows were closed, the maids hugged the quilts, and the midwives shouted to them one by one.
Ji Man felt that other women seemed to have children more easily than her, and within an hour, she heard crying from inside. After a while, it's a crying duplex.
With her fingers clenched slightly, she stepped forward and curtled her knees at Ning Yuxuan: Congratulations to Master Hou.
Mo Yuhou nodded, and the midwife came out with the two children, one on the left hand and one on the right, and said happily: The slave maid is still the first time to deliver the two ladies together, congratulations to Master Hou, Master Yun gave birth to a daughter, and Master Wan gave birth to a boy.
Ning Yuxuan paused, looked at the two balls that were wrapped in swaddling clothes, and even covered their faces, pursed their lips, and there was still some joy in their eyes after all: Hard work, you go and get the reward.
Ay. The midwife smiled and put the child in the nurse's arms, one on the left and one on the right, and the division was very clear.
Wen Wan gave birth to a son, but Liu Hanyun's was a daughter, and Ji Man felt a little pity.
