Chapter Fifty-ninth
Cui'er blushed, but her aunt trembled. It took her a long time to stop. She grimaced and gritted her teeth and asked Cheng's mother, "Tell me again, what was going on at that time?"
"My slave was staying at home well, but the third aunt sent someone to tell me that someone broke into Miss Third's yard." Cheng's mother said with twinkling eyes, "When this slave heard that, she became anxious and hit the back of her head with her foot and went to the house.
Hurry..."
By this time, Cheng’s mother also figured out that this must be the fault of Third Yiniang. Otherwise, how could there be such a clever trick? Besides, after Third Miss came back to her senses, she kept defending that she had no knowledge at all and did not tell Wang Qilang
I wrote a letter. Not to mention that girl Xiaoyan was judged entirely by Third Yiniang alone.
Xiaoyan's mouth was really tough. She was beaten half of her life. She also bit her to death and said that the third lady asked her to write a letter to Wang Qilang. Now, Wang Qilang hasn't let him go home yet, so Xiaoyan will definitely sell it.
, but regardless of others, the third lady will definitely suffer this secret loss.
The Marquis did not believe what the third lady said, or in other words, even if he believed it, he would first blame the third lady for her indiscretion. After all, if she had not hooked up with Wang Qi before, there would be no result today. In fact, the aristocratic men and women in Tokyo,
There are many people who make love before marriage, but who is Wang Qi? The embroidered pillow is just a bag of straw, the Marquis will not look down on it even to death.
However, the third lady has something to do with Wang Qilang. How can the Marquis not be angry? How can he care whether what happened today is true or false?
At that time, the Marquis only said one sentence: It is your own fault and you will not live!
But she believed in Third Miss, because she had always been a firecracker and would not lie. Her reaction was so intense at that time, and she was definitely being framed. She had fallen into the trap of Third Yiniang. Think about it again, what was Third Yiniang’s purpose? Cheng
Mother's heart trembled. Youdao is a gentleman and a courtier. If the third aunt controls the entire Hou Mansion, how can she enjoy the good fruits?
And she understood everything, so how could the aunt who heard the details again not understand? But after a long time, she smiled.
"Auntie, please don't be impatient." Cui'er was frightened when she saw Hanqiao acting like this.
Mother Cheng is not in a hurry. After all, we have worked together for many years. How can we not know each other's temperament? If she did not have great tolerance, how could the aunt be so humble and secretly control the middle class for so many years? They are said to be joint housekeepers. Who are they?
How could a servant be as good as Mrs. Xuan’s right-hand man? Now the Marquis’ pillowcase?
"When Mrs. Xuan was here, she taught me how to play chess." Hanqiao said slowly, "But I never learned well and always lost. Mrs. Xuan said to me: You are just too impatient. You know, playing chess
In chess, the key is to take your time. You also have to look far ahead and keep your eyes on one piece and one place. How can you win like this?"
"Auntie, what do you mean?" Cheng's mother asked with her heart trembling.
"Looking at the way the Marquis looks, he will definitely blame me." Hanqiao quickly calmed down, "Then let that bitch be proud and arrogant for a while. Although our Marquis's mansion is clean, the water is also very deep.
, she won’t be able to get to the bottom of it for a while, and she won’t be able to get the money, so how can she not be anxious? This way, it’s enough for us to catch her mistakes. That bitch gets carried away when she is proud. Such a person makes a mistake
It’s definitely not small. You just wash your hands and watch, if she dares to touch the heads of these young ladies and gentlemen, she will die a good death.”
Her voice was soft and low, which made Yu Jingye's heart tremble. What's more, when she mentioned the word "death", her pronunciation increased, and her voice and expression suddenly became gloomy and terrifying.
Cheng's mother turned her eyes away, but heard her aunt ask again, "That girl Xiaoyan usually looks careful and steady, and she doesn't seem to be someone who loves money as much as life. Why did she do this this time..." If it was said that the third aunt was setting up a trap, there was no such thing.
Wen Yiyun would not have been tricked by someone like this even if the people around him acted as internal agents. In fact, the Marquis was not stupid, but he was too arrogant and refused to bow his head to listen to explanations, and was confused by that bitch again.
Cheng's mother shook her head because she couldn't figure it out either. After a long silence, Cui'er softly said "Yeah".
"What, what can you think of?" Cheng's mother asked urgently.
Cui'er murmured, "I'm not sure. Just thinking about it, I still feel that my aunt has not done anything wrong to Xiaoyan. The third lady also relies on her. If she is not greedy for money, what is it that makes her hate her so much?
Is it possible for Third Yiniang to take advantage of her? If Third Yiniang has any reason to catch her..." Cui'er shook her head, "I don't believe it either. My aunt and mother know that Xiaoyan is most cautious and honest in her actions. Even if she doesn't like to talk, she doesn't
I don’t like to go to busy places. Apart from that, I really can’t think of anything else.”
"What's going on?" The aunt was anxious.
"It's probably because of my family that I hate my aunt." Cui'er gritted her teeth and said.
"Nonsense!" Cheng's mother scolded her, "Xiaoyan was born in the family, but her parents both fell seriously ill and died when she was young. It was her aunt who showed mercy and rewarded her with a thin coffin. Where did she come from? What kind of family members did she get?
She has no one to rely on. If she hadn't been favored by my aunt, she might have been assigned some menial job to a useless man. How could she be so lucky to be able to serve the third young lady!"
"Aunt and mother don't know something." Cui'er wanted to sigh, but she endured it, "Xiaoyan is eighteen years old this year. She had a lover three years ago, and she worked in the stable of our house. Because
I got it in private and didn't let my master know about it. I plan to report it to you again in two or three years and ask my master for help."
Having said this, he knelt down and said, "This slave is at fault, please punish me. But that day... Because I thought it was a trivial matter, the two of them had no way of knowing each other. Although I heard some rumors, I couldn't do it after all.
I'm sure, so I don't want to bother my aunt with this, and it will end up making a big mistake." At that time, she was only a second-class girl, and she couldn't actually speak.
The aunt had a gloomy face, and although she didn't wake up Cui'er, she didn't have an attack either. After thinking about this for a long time, her eyes slowly opened wide, and she asked with a little surprise, "Is her good friend Shen Er who works in the stable?"
Cui'er nodded, with fear in her eyes.
After saying this, Cheng's mother also remembered. Shen Er was an honest and honest child, and he was good at raising horses. Later, Mrs. Huo found out that she named him personally and specially served the horse that came as a dowry, named Huo.
However, on the day Mrs. Huo passed away, Huo'er ran away for some unknown reason. As a result, Shen Er was ordered to be killed with a stick by the Marquis in a rage!
The boy had a very strong body and was beaten to death for more than a hundred times. His screams lasted for an hour. It is said that even his internal organs were beaten into mud, and they were bleeding...
It is said that the horse has spiritual powers and was Mrs. Huo's favorite. Some people said that since the owner passed away, the horse must have gone to a deserted place to die. However, Mrs. Huo died violently. It is said that the horse ran to
Ai Lian went to live there and then disappeared without a trace. The Marquis lost Mrs. Huo and only said that the horse was Nian Xiang'er. If it was gone like this, he would inevitably be furious.
But, was it really for that horse? Or when Shen Er went to chase the horse, did he see something he shouldn't have seen in the inner courtyard?
Thinking of this, Cheng's mother shuddered. She secretly looked at her aunt, but saw her looking over. As soon as their eyes made contact, they separated. In fact, they both understood what the other was thinking, but they didn't reveal it.
Some things cannot be talked about. They can only rot in your stomach for the rest of your life.
"Xiaoyan lost her parents and relatives when she was young, so she treated Shen Er... as a family member. She only thought that by waiting for the young lady to come out of the cabinet, she could live a good life as a husband and a head. She often said at that time: I want to have a family. "It's dead." In the silence, Xiaoyan seemed unable to hold on, and said again, "But Shen Er died like that, but she didn't show anything. That day, the slaves were still puzzled, and they only said that she was cold-hearted. I kind of look down on her. Who would have thought...she must be filled with hatred in her heart, and it's at this moment that she gets angry."
"Tui'er!" Cheng's mother shouted.
Cui Er was startled and suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing.
When she said this, didn't she blame her aunt? But she didn't know why, but there was a fire in her heart, and she rushed out with these words. Originally, she was also a smart person, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be by her side. First person, what happened today?
Thinking about it, Cui'er looked out the window.
The window was half open, and the yard could be seen from the house, so as to avoid eavesdropping. However, it was dark everywhere, and there was a small breeze blowing. Cui Er suddenly thought of Mrs. Huo and the scare she received not long ago because of the haunting. The second aunt, who had hanged herself, was immediately horrified and her whole body was piled on the ground, trembling.
But the aunt thought that Cui'er was afraid of being punished, and said angrily, "Forget it, you are right, I was the one who caused the third lady's trouble. But although I ordered the execution at that time, it was based on the Marquis's idea. Have any of you ever seen when people in this mansion could disobey the Marquis's orders? Why are you blaming me?"
But her words were a bit guilty, because she understood why Xiaoyan hated her. It was not because she carried out the order, but because she cut off Shen Er's way of survival. Shen Er could have run away knowing that he had gotten into a big trouble. She was afraid that she would be blamed and let the housekeeper lose her power. She could have been lenient, but she had to chase the person back. She never hesitated to use other people's lives to save her own money.
In the final analysis, Hanqiao is an extremely selfish person. If her interests do not conflict, she can be kind to others and pretend to be generous. But as long as she is involved, even if it is just a small loss, she will watch her life and justice be destroyed for her own sake. trample on, and feel at ease with.
This night is destined to be so long.
Three days later, as the eldest aunt expected, her housekeeping rights were deprived. Because the third lady was banned for half a year, she was sent to teach the third lady etiquette and discipline. Because she needed to "concentrate", she naturally had no time to take care of "miscellaneous things" ”.
In the past, Mrs. Xuan's mother-in-law was the chief official of the Ministry of Etiquette. Mrs. Xuan was trained since she was a child, and her manners were impeccable throughout Tokyo. Although she was only a dowry maid, she also learned a lot and was regarded as a model.
Han Qiao respectfully accepted the order, which made Wen Ningzhi very satisfied. Of course, Wang Qilang had been released long ago, and he also sent a stern letter to Weiyuan Marquis. Anyway, if the Wen family didn't tell him, Wang Qi had to tell him. At home, it is better to take the initiative and take the moral high ground.
After receiving the letter, Marquis Weiyuan was "frightened". He once mentioned the marriage between the two families in a roundabout way, but Wen Ningzhi pretended not to know about it and rejected it outright. It is not known how Wang Qi was repaired by his father, but
Xiaoyan was eventually sold and given as a concubine to a one-eyed businessman in his fifties, and was to follow him to the wild lands of the southwest border.
Liuli took a look secretly, and Xiaoyan's face was calm when she left, and there was even a proud smile on her lips. She was just a slave born in the family, and she had no ability to knock down the superior Marquis, but she tried her best.
Just like an egg hitting a stone, if you can't break the stone, you will still be covered in custard. Just like you can't kill a person, but it's good to take a bite of his flesh. At this time, Xiaoyan is full of brave men.
the breath.
Liuli looked sad, but also admired her. So what if she is an ant? She has her dignity!
You must know that revenge is an instinct when people are hurt. The deeper the injury, the more severe the revenge.
Even if it hurts me back, even if it makes my life worse, even if I risk my life, I still need an explanation and a truth.
That kind of injury must be relieved with blood or a larger wound.
The kind of moths flying into the flame, the kind of desperateness, the kind of risking death... She understands.
"Tell Ling Hongdie to send someone to follow her, and when she leaves the capital, buy that girl." Liuli finally couldn't bear it, and told Wei Wei, "Then do whatever she wants, give her some money, and let her fend for herself."
This is all she can do. Because she has her own revenge to avenge and her own hatred to burn.
