Chapter 15: The conspiracy of the Zhou Rui family

As expected, in the afternoon, Xiao Juzi hurriedly ran in and replied: "Auntie, girl, Zhou Rui's family is going in the direction of the courtyard where my aunt lives." ”

"Little orange is doing well, you have worked hard these days! The next thing is not for you for the time being, you can go to the pomegranate to get five taels of silver, and then go down to have a good rest, and when there is something to do, I will naturally call you." ”

When the little orange heard that there were still five taels of silver to receive, he happily went to the pomegranate to get the money. I still thought in my heart: It's really good to do things for the girl, but I got ten taels of silver in two days, and I don't know when the girl will be able to arrange things for me to do again.

After waiting for the little orange to go down, Shen Xiaoxiao walked out of the small courtyard slowly and released his spiritual power. Sure enough, on the way to my aunt's courtyard, I saw Zhou Rui's family, and it was strange that he secretly followed someone behind Zhou Rui's house. This person Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know, and he wanted to come to Zhou Rui's house everywhere in the past two days to ask who had been alarmed by the matter.

Along the way, Zhou Rui's family walked cautiously, and occasionally looked back. In this way, I stopped and walked in front of a small courtyard, which was a bit ruined, because it had not been renovated for several years.

The front door of the small courtyard was open, and cursing could be heard from time to time. Zhou Rui's family shouted a few times at the door, but when no one answered, he walked forward by himself. The voice gradually became clearer.

"You shitty goods who have suffered a thousand cuts, you look down on the old lady when you see that the old lady has fallen out of favor, right? Let you go get some food, you gave me a dead place to play, and I'm only coming back now. The shouting and scolding were mixed with the sound of whipping and begging for mercy.

"Auntie, the slave doesn't dare anymore, please let the slave go!" The girl knelt on the stone wrench and shrunk tightly, but people didn't dare to hide and kept begging for mercy.

"Lilacs. A voice sounded, and the fighting between master and servant stopped instantly. Look neatly towards the place where the voice sounded.

"Lilac, I am the housekeeper next to Mrs. Wang, because the one in my family is called Zhou Rui, so everyone calls me Zhou Rui's family. Zhou Rui's family looked at Lilac and was busy introducing himself to Lilac.

As soon as Ding Xiang heard that it was Mrs. Wang's sent, she immediately greeted her and said, "It turned out to be Mother Zhou! I have been looking forward to you for a long time, and after waiting for so long, Madame finally remembered that I was here." You see, my life is like a pool of stagnant water, and I won't be able to live anymore if Madame doesn't send someone here!"

"Madame has always remembered you, but she lacks opportunities. It just so happened that our girl wanted to come to my aunt's house to play, so my wife sent me right away. Lilac, this is not the place to talk, let's go inside and talk. ”

"Yes, yes, please, you dead girl is so blind, don't you go to make a pot of tea for Mother Zhou. After finishing speaking, Lilac diligently led Zhou Rui's family to the back room.

The little girl quickly got up, wiped her tears and went to make tea for Zhou Rui's family.

When he entered the inner room, Zhou Rui's family was not in a hurry to speak, and looked around first, and found that although the inner room was not dilapidated, it was not new. Like the courtyard outside, the decorations inside have not become old for many years, and the washed white quilt cover shows how depressed the owner's life is.

When the little girl brought the tea, Zhou Ruijia took out a dozen copper coins from the purse he was carrying, handed it to the little girl and said, "Little girl, I have something to say to your master, please come to the door to help us guard, and if someone comes, call loudly." These copper plates will be given to the girl to buy candy to eat. ”

The little girl hurriedly stepped forward to take the copper plate and said, "I will definitely guard the door, thank you Mother Zhou." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out, moved a stool to the corner of the wall and sat at the door.

"Why do you need to give her a copper plate, just tell me if you have something. Lilac pouted and said.

"Okay, you're half a master now, don't be so petty. I asked you what happened four years ago, and some things are not easy to write in letters, and the letters you wrote back then are not clear. Zhou Rui's family was anxious to ask about what happened four years ago.

As soon as Zhou Rui's family mentioned what happened four years ago, Lilac's face changed greatly. saw that Zhou Rui's family had been staring at her, waiting for her to speak. Ding Xiang knew that if he didn't make this matter clear, he wouldn't get the help of Zhou Rui's family.

Lilac struggled a few times in her heart, thinking of what Madame had been letting her do, maybe it was a great thing to say it. So Lilac talked about four years ago.

In fact, Lilac is not a smart person, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were in love with each other, and they were enviable. When she wrote to inform Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang replied with a hint that she could find a way to make her an aunt. And instruct her on how to do it.

The method is actually simple, at that time, Lin Ruhai's mother was still alive and had been dissatisfied with Jia Min, so Mrs. Wang taught her how to say how Lin Ruhai and his wife loved Lin Ruhai in front of the old lady, and sure enough, in the end, the old lady forced Lin Ruhai to take a concubine, and Jia Min also had correspondence with Mrs. Wang at that time, and under the persuasion of Mrs. Wang, she also took the initiative to bring the cloves out to Lin Ruhai as a concubine. But the bad thing is that although Lin Ruhai accepted a concubine, he never went to their room, let alone had the same room.

At that time, Lilac was also blinded by lard, thinking that the little master would have a little illness, so Jia Min would be distracted to take care of the child and would have no intention of Lin Ruhai. So I bought off the girl who took care of the young master, and secretly opened the window when the young master was sleeping at night, and sure enough, the little young master caught a cold in just one night, and the fever did not go away, but the little master went in a few days. Lin Ruhai felt that something was wrong, and endured her grief to judge the girl and her mother at night.

At that time, Lilac was already frightened and felt that what she had done was about to happen. Unexpectedly, things took a big turn for the better, and all the evidence pointed out that it was another aunt who did her hands and feet, not only did she open the window when the young master was sleeping at night to cause the young master to have a high fever, but she also did her hands and feet in the medicine that the young master was taking, which caused the young master to die.

On the spot, Lin Ruhai killed the aunt and sold all the girls and grandmothers who were related to this matter. Somehow, the news reached the old lady, who knew that her tough concubine had killed her only precious grandson. In a fit of anger, he didn't come up in one breath and followed. At that time, everything in the Lin Mansion was really very desolate, if Jia Min was not diagnosed as pregnant at that time, it is estimated that Jia Min could not live or not.

After listening to Lilac's narration, Shen Xiaoxiao finally understood the whole story of that year. But Shen Xiaoxiao's doubts were even deeper, and there were many doubts about the things back then, such as how a new aunt did things in medicine, and how the news reached the old lady. Shen Xiaoxiao always felt as if there was a black hand behind him controlling the whole thing. Suddenly remembering that the person who was following Zhou Rui's house just now was not related to what happened four years ago, Shen Xiaoxiao had some guesses in his heart, but there was still too little information to see. Shen Xiaoxiao checked it with his mental power and found that the man was hiding at the gate of the courtyard, because the little girl was sitting at the door guarding, the man did not dare to come forward and eavesdrop.

Shen Xiaoxiao saw that the person couldn't eavesdrop, so he put the person down for the time being, ignored it, and continued to listen to the conversation between the two in the room.

Ding Xiang was facing Zhou Rui's family at this time and said: "Heaven and earth conscience, at that time, I really just wanted to let the young master have a little illness. Who knew that the result would be like this, and since then don't talk about the master, even the lady has never recruited me to speak and serve. I'm like an invisible person in the Lin Mansion now, so it's better to be a personal girl. After Lilac finished speaking, she suddenly stood up and knelt down towards Zhou Rui's house and begged: "Mother Zhou, you must help me, I really can't live such a life, I am a living widow." You said that if you don't have a child, what hope is there for this day? Why don't you take me back to Jia's house, I haven't been broken yet, and I can still start from scratch when I go back." Please help Mother Zhou. As he spoke, he kowtowed to Zhou Rui's family several times.

Zhou Ruijia first looked at Lilac with disdain for a few seconds before slowly getting up and helping Lilac sit down and said, "Silly Lilac, you haven't even figured out what you're thinking, so you shout to go back to Jiafu." I asked you because Lin Ruhai never came to you, which made you unhappy, or if you didn't like Lin Ruhai and didn't want to be his woman, so you thought about leaving here. ”

"Who wouldn't like such a handsome and talented person as my lord. When Ding Xiang heard Zhou Rui's question, she couldn't help but blurt out, and after finishing speaking, she realized what she had said, and lowered her head shyly.

Zhou Ruijia couldn't help but roll his eyes, and asked again: "Then if Lin Ruhai is willing to come to you, will you still leave?"

"Of course not. Lilac replied quickly.

"That's not the end, let's find a way to let Lin Ruhai come to you!" Zhou Ruijia concluded.

"But as long as Madame is still here, the master will not come to me. Lilac lowered her head and whispered, as if she had said it to herself.

Zhou Rui's family saw that Lilac was so depressed, and they really hated that iron could not be strong.

"You had that kind of blood and courage to do that thing four years ago, why did you wither now? I think you did a good job four years ago, in fact, it's not that your method is bad, it's just that someone shot at the young master at the same time and returned the heavy hand, directly killing the young master, you are implicated. ”

"I got it right four years ago. "Lilac is a little dazed.

"Of course, you see that Jia Min is delicate and weak every day, and she says that her health is not good, but you see that she can't sit if she wants to go. It's better to give her some medicine to make her really bedridden, and see how she seduces men. In the end, Zhou Ruijia's tone became fierce.

"No, no, the fate of the aunt who committed the crime four years ago, the bloody scene is still vivid. No, you can't poison it, if you get caught, you will definitely end up miserable. Frightened, Lilac jumped up from her stool and shouted no.

Mrs. Wang gave me a special medicine when I left, this medicine is colorless and tasteless, people will not get sick immediately after drinking it, and the body will slowly become weak after a few days, and people who drink this medicine will not be able to get up without help after getting sick. As he spoke, he took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom and placed it on the table.

"You see, four years ago you were just implicated, and they should be the ones who say sorry. Four years have passed, although Jia Min didn't recruit you, can't you bring the supplements you made yourself to Mrs. Tell her again that you are not here to rob her husband, and this aunt is not what you begged for, you just want to serve your wife as well as before. Then take advantage of Jia Min's weakness to seduce Lin Ruhai over, even if Jia Min is cured in the end, maybe you will have a baby in your belly at that time. "Zhou Rui's family drew a big cake for Lilac, and in the end, it was up to Lilac to catch it.

After Zhou Ruijia finished speaking, no matter how Lilac reacted, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

I saw Lilac's face struggling, her face was red and white for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, Lilac finally made up her mind and said: "Mother Zhou, this medicine is colorless and tasteless, and it won't be found out!"

"Of course. Zhou Ruijia said calmly.

"Okay, I'll go. Lilac gritted her teeth at the small medicine bottle on the table.

At this time, Zhou Ruijia opened his mouth and said: "Although it is unlikely that the incident will happen, but just in case, I will still talk ugly ahead, in case the incident happens, you don't talk nonsense, and at that time, only Mrs. Wang and I can save you, do you?" After speaking, Zhou Ruijia stared at Ding Xiang's eyes, and saw that Ding Xiang hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Don't dare." ”

"Well, you don't dare, you have to think about Lao Tzu, Niang and brothers and sisters in Jiafu. Zhou Ruijia threatened.

"Okay, I've been out for a long time, so I'll go back first. Saying that, Zhou Ruijia stood up and walked out, and Lilac hurriedly chased after him and sent him out.
