Chapter 36: Capture of Stolen Goods
It was late at night, and after Mama Xun finished serving Lu's washing, she helped her to lie on the collapse, and Lu's eyelids began to fight. "Mama, light the incense, Yu'er is back fine, and I can sleep well." Mama Xun nodded.
"Begonia, go and light the incense, the old lady is going to rest. Mama Xun instructed the maid beside her.
"Yes, Mama. After Haitang answered, she turned around and came to the incense burner, opened the lid, picked up the soothing incense on the side, looked back at Mama Xun, and saw that Mama Xun was busy taking care of Lu Shi and didn't look at her, so she secretly took out a finger-long incense from her sleeve and lit it, and then put the soothing incense into the incense burner together and put the lid on it.
After doing all this, Begonia turned around with the incense burner, and then was startled. Mama Xun stood behind her, and Haitang forced her to calm down: "Why did Mama stand behind the slave and maid and jump the slave maid." Mama Xun looked at Begonia with a cold face.
"Come with me with the censer. After speaking, Mama Xun walked out the door. The begonia was startled, and the incense burner was about to fall off as soon as the hand was soft. Mama Xun's eyes are clear, and she catches the incense burner as soon as she stretches out her hand.
"Cheap skin, you can't take an incense burner. Mama Xun scolded in a low voice, looked back at Lu, and saw that Lu had fallen asleep, and the medicine prescribed by the young master was really effective. In the afternoon, Jia Yu specially asked the oldest qualified imperial doctor to secretly check the pulse for the Lu family, not because he didn't believe in himself, but because he was looking for someone to prove Lu's illness, the old lady doctor knew what was going on, Jia Yu only let him testify in the future, and the old imperial doctor naturally agreed, and joked who didn't know that the saint was very close to the Lu family today. After the old lady left the prescription, she was secretly sent away by Jia Yu. Jia Yu read the prescription, and changed a few flavors of medicine to make the medicine milder before asking Mama Xun to catch the medicine.
"Why don't you come out with me quickly, do you want to wake up the old lady?" Mama Xun held the incense burner in one hand and pulled the begonia out with the other. At this time, Begonia has no master, and there is only this thought in his heart.
"Young master, both people and incense burners have been brought. Mama Xun pulled Begonia to a house on the east side of the yard and said to the people who were sitting. Haitang looked up and saw that it was Jia Yu. Begonia knelt down. Jia Yu opened the incense burner and looked at it, then put the incense burner heavily on the table, and the sound of the incense burner shocked Begonia back to his senses.
"The young master spares his life, the young master spares his life. Begonia kowtowed desperately, Jia Yu looked at her coldly, Begonia was so frightened that she didn't know the pain, and her forehead was bleeding.
"You did such a thing, and you still want the young master to spare your life?" Mama Xun said fiercely. Begonia knew that she had no hope of living, and just wanted to beg for a good time, looking at the wall.
"Don't even think about it, if you die, the young master will make your family's life worse than death. Jia Yu kept an eye on her, and when he saw her looking at the wall, he naturally knew what she wanted to do.
Jia Yu's voice was very flat, but Haitang shivered when he heard it, and Haitang felt that his young master was very indifferent for the first time, and he was completely different from the usual one in front of the old lady.
"I heard that you are a child of a family, in addition to your parents, there is an eldest brother and three younger sisters, all of whom are on errands in the house. I don't know what the most tragic ending will be for your three younger sisters?" Jia Yu's flat voice came again. Begonia naturally knows what the most tragic ending for a woman is, thinking of her three well-behaved sisters, Begonia kowtows again.
"Young master, please spare them. They are too young to understand anything. It's all the slave's fault. Please let them go, young master. Begonia begged Jia for pardon again.
"Oh, do you mean to want the young master to let them go, and then let them be like you in the future, for the sake of a big brother, and then come to poison the master?" Jia Yu continued to ask flatly.
"They won't, the slave swears they won't. Begonia was out of proportion, and when she saw Jia Yu talking back, she could only desperately intercede for them as soon as she saw it.
", don't tell me everything you know. "Mama Xun was born to mention Begonia, in fact, Mama Xun knows about the Begonia family, her parents are patriarchal, but in addition to the eldest son, she gave birth to four girls, and desperately squeezed four daughters for the eldest son. Begonia is the eldest daughter, and for the sake of the following three younger sisters, she has to embroider and fill the eldest brother in the time outside of the errand. This time it was also because her eldest brother was caught by Shi.
"Mama Lai in the lady's yard asked the slave maid and An Shenxiang to order this together, saying that it was just to make the old lady sick for a few months, so that the young master could not concentrate on the Jinshi examination. "Begonia is also a smart person, and Mama Xun knows what she should do as soon as she mentions it.
"I've been sick for a few months? Jia Yu looked at Begonia with disdain.
"No, it can't be, Lai's mother said it won't die. Haitang looked dazed, she didn't think about Lu's life.
"Won't it kill anyone? How long have you ordered it? You see it's only been a few days, and my grandmother has become like this. A few more months, still alive?" Jia Yu continued.
"What else does Mother Lai say?" asked Mama Xun.
"Lai's mother asked me to see her once every seven days to get incense. Begonia replied.
"When will I see her again?" Mama Xun hurriedly asked, and Jia Yu also looked at Haitang. Haitang hurriedly replied: "The next time will be in four days." ”
Jia Yu thought for a moment: "I want you to tell me in detail when you will meet there, after the matter is completed..."Haitang looked at Jia Yu expectantly, she knew that the mistakes she made were too big and difficult to have a good result, but she couldn't let go of her younger sisters. "After the deed is done, you can go to Zhuangzi, I can't leave you with my grandmother, after all, you can't be disloyal a hundred times. Your second sister will let her enter the courtyard as a third-class maid. ”
"Thank you, young master, thank you old lady, thank you, grandma" Haitang couldn't believe it when she heard it, this punishment was not heavy at all, it was very light, and she didn't know it was true when she saw Mama Xun nodding later. She knew that this was the old lady and the grandmother interceding for her, otherwise with Jia Yu's expression just now and the importance she attached to the old lady, she would never end well.
"As for your eldest brother, since you can sell your master for gambling debts, just wait to sell it to the mines. Jia Yu found out that Haitang's eldest brother conspired with others to deceive Haitang and said that he owed a few hundred taels, and then Lai's mother came forward to force Haitang to betray Lu. It was also Lai's mother who knew that Begonia would never harm Lu's life, so she lied to her, but Begonia still couldn't rest assured and reduced a stick of incense to half a branch, which was also what the old lady told Jia Yu. Therefore, after the Lu family and Mama Xun knew the truth, they let Jia Yu lightly drop this stupid girl.
Haitang didn't feel anything when she heard it, she only felt relieved. She has done her duty, and she almost killed her master in order to help him, and even several younger sisters almost caught up.
