048 Exposed
On this day, Aunt Li was resting in her daughter's yard when she heard a noise outside, and she sat up and asked the servant who was collecting the soles of her shoes what had happened.
The servant put down the needle and thread and shook his head: "I don't know, the slave and maid go and see." She said and walked out.
It didn't take long to come back.
"There seems to be something big going on in my wife's yard, but no one knows when I ask about it, and people look panicked." The servant told Aunt Li what he had heard.
What could it be? Aunt Li thought about it.
"Do you think it has something to do with that stammering woman, what kind of person is it? When I saw a woman who knew poetry and books, I couldn't move, and the two of them were in the same room every day, wouldn't it be that there was something unsightly and the third wife knew, right? ”
This is exactly what she wants, so she speculates that the head is the way.
"The slave and the aunt thought of one place." The servant gave Aunt Li a thumbs up and said in admiration.
The strange wind in the Lin Mansion did not stop until the evening, and it is said that he has begun to search for things in the yards.
At this time, Aunt Li couldn't sit still, and after she explained that her daughter had dinner, she led the servant back to her small Buddha hall, which was small and worth a thousand gold.
As soon as he entered, the servant closed the door of the room.
Turning around, she said to Aunt Li: "Auntie, what is Mrs. searching for?" It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the female doctor. ”
Aunt Li fidgeted in the house, running back and forth: "How do I know? Not a good sign anyway. "She hasn't poisoned anyone lately, and she never steals. You can't search her, can you?
"We haven't done anything unseemly, don't be vain, she shouldn't be searching for us." Aunt Li forced herself to calm down, but she always felt uneasy.
The servant thought about it, and thought of the matter of three thousand taels of silver, although the aunt's room was not afraid of searching for stolen goods, but there were a lot of silver tickets, and she didn't take it out when the sixth lady was sick, if someone searched out, the lord would know......
That could be an outing.
"Auntie. Let's put the ...... first," she was about to remind Aunt Li to hide the silver ticket. There was a knock on the door.
"Open the door, my wife has lost the heirloom treasure, the whole house is searched, and my aunt will open the door quickly."
Aunt Li is thinking about her own business. I was startled by the sound of the door slamming. She gave the servant a look. Then go and open the door yourself.
"Damned minions, are you going to die? You knocked on my door too? She stood in the doorway and cursed the man sent by the third wife.
The old woman at the head is also a capable mother-in-law of the third wife, and she has a long face. pouted and said, "Is my aunt crazy?" The old slave was sent by the third wife, and the aunt had better get out of the way quickly, don't let the old slave use any means, you will be embarrassed again. ”
Wu Fanniang has the money to raise a few powerful characters, and Aunt Li saw that this old guy was not afraid of her, so she was immediately angry: "Mrs. lost something, can I still take it?" I'm the master of the house, not to mention that I'm at Miss Six these days, when can I go to the wife's room? I haven't been to my wife's room in years. ”
"You didn't take the insurance, the people below you are not clean, the old slave doesn't have time to listen to what the aunt said, the aunt better get out of the way." The old woman heard the sound of rummaging boxes in the house, and as she spoke, she glanced to the left and right, and immediately two people came up and set Aunt Li away.
"What are you doing? Let go of me, let go of me. Aunt Li struggled and began to shout: "Come on, come on, are you all dead?" Come on people. ”
I almost forgot that she also raised a lot of people, but unfortunately the water couldn't solve the near fire, so the old woman took people into the house to search to see what Aunt Li's henchmen were hiding in a panic.
"Search, wife's family heirloom, but I can't lose it." The old servant gave an order, and the seven or eight people he brought began to rummage through the cabinets.
Here Aunt Li's people also rushed over, and the two groups quarreled and fought without mentioning it.
In order to thank Lin Xiaojue for teaching the third master medical skills, the third wife specially set up a table of good dishes to invite her.
Of course, this is also the idea of the third master.
The three masters on the table are on the main seat, the third wife is accompanied, and Lin Xiaojue is a guest. The third wife and Lin Xiaojue both pretended not to be aunts and nephews, and they were very polite and polite.
At the beginning of the banquet, the third master was very excited, and asked Lingnan to pour wine for the female gentleman: "This is thirty years of aging, the most famous winery in our county, Mr. taste, it is very mellow and gloomy." ”
Lin Xiaojue picked it up, sniffed it, and put it down again.
"I can't, drink." She shook her head.
"Miss is not good at drinking?" The third master asked unexpectedly, how could people who walked the rivers and lakes not drink alcohol? And looking at the young lady's appearance, I obviously want to drink.
"It's not that it's not good, it's that it can't." Lin Xiaojue still shook his head.
If it's not bad at it, why can't it? The third master couldn't figure it out at all.
"Seeing that Miss is slender, there is also evidence of insufficiency, so you may not be able to drink because of this, so don't force Miss to do so." At this time, the third wife came forward to play a round.
The third master is not the kind of person who likes to be embarrassed.
He picked up the teacup in front of the third lady alone: "Since Miss can't drink, then I'll replace wine with tea here, and give Miss a drink." ”
He said that he would do it first as a respect, but the tea was still in his throat, and before he could swallow it, he couldn't stand it.
He turned his head and sprayed behind him: "What kind of tea is this?" Is it swill? ”
No one answered him, and the third lady immediately gave the people around her a look, and the maids who were waiting for him immediately came to clean up.
The third master sensed that something was wrong.
He stepped on the rag in the maid's hand and told her not to move, and then walked over to the teatray to check the third lady's teapot.
Usually he likes to drink Biluochun, and the third wife likes to drink West Lake Longjing, so the maids make tea separately.
The third old man lifted the lid of the teapot and sniffed it.
"Fan Niang ......"
"Master, Miss is still here, it's very rude for you to leave the table like this." The third lady interrupted him to continue, and very gently stood up and hooked her hand at him, and asked him to sit back.
The third master is not the kind of person who can hold back his words, he thought about it and asked, "This is not your favorite tea." "Even the tea in the kitchen is better than this.
After he said this, he stared at the third lady motionlessly. She looked like she asked her daughter-in-law to explain it to her.
But there was a dead silence in the room, and no one spoke.
"When the head of my family died, didn't I? Hide it from me. Suddenly, he raised his voice and shouted Lingnan: "You say, where is the wife's tea?" As he spoke, he looked around again, and noticed that the furnishings in the room were different.
"And why is the big coral ornament that my wife likes missing? What kind of mess is this now? ”
"Master, actually, ......" Ling Nan couldn't help it, and was about to speak.
The third lady put down her chopsticks with a snap: "Miss is still there, I will talk about it after eating." ”
Ling Nan had no choice but to bow his head in interest, the third master was in a hurry, and he listened to half of the obedient words. I couldn't help it: "Fan Niang." Did something happen to you? Is our family so poor that you drink this kind of swill tea? ”
"Huh." The old lady suddenly sneered.
"Master, can't you guess this? Mrs. just took out 3,000 taels of silver, and she still has to provide you with food and drink, how can you be frugal and frugal? ”
"Mama." The third lady shouted to her with an angry look.
The third master suddenly realized: "Fan Niang, did you give me all the money?" That's why you have to endure so much. You're still pregnant. He hurried over to the third lady and sat down. Holding her hand. Shame and shame and want to say and stop.
The third lady just looked at him very lovingly and shook her head: "It's okay, you will make the young lady feel more worried like this, thinking that we don't want to pay the young lady for the consultation." ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xiaojue apologetically. The third master was also embarrassed to look at it.
"Miss, don't be careful." He said.
Lin Xiaojue lowered his head to eat: "Don't mention your name." I never sit in the wrong seat. ”
This mentality of not going to the heart is good, the third wife looked at the third master and smiled, and the third master wanted to laugh at first, but when he saw the third wife's crooked eyebrows, he felt guilty again.
"Fan Niang ......"
"Master, help, master." At this time, there was a heart-rending shout, which sounded like Aunt Li, the third old man stood up, he looked outside the door and then looked at the third lady and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The third lady then stood up: "I don't know." ”
"Miss, miss me." The third lady also glanced outside the door, then said hello to Lin Xiaojue, and left the table, and the third master hurriedly followed.
"Master, master, you have to make the decision for me."
As soon as the third wife and the third master came out, Aunt Li, who was escorted by the servants, broke free from the restraint and hugged the third master's pants and cried.
When the third master saw this posture, one hugged him and cried, and a group of people escorted another old woman with a cloak, is this going to the execution ground? The third old man and the second monk were confused.
"What is this for?" He lowered his head and asked Aunt Li, who was howling, and his voice was very impatient.
Apparently there was no answer.
"What is this for?" He raised his head and asked the captor again.
The third lady glanced at him, and then at the mothers-in-law who were waiting for her to speak.
"Why don't you say it?" She also pretended not to know and asked her mother-in-law.
The old woman at the head got her instructions and hurriedly pushed the old woman next to Aunt Li out. The old woman staggered and knelt at the feet of the third lady.
"Madam, didn't Miss Divine Doctor's heirloom jade pendant be lost this morning? And the slave and maid took the men and searched for them. The old woman said.
"Miss lost something in the house?" When the third master heard this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows angrily, and he was surprised and humiliated.
The third wife said in a gentle voice: "There is such a thing, I am afraid that I will be embarrassed by shouting, so I let them secretly investigate." She swept her sleeve over the group of women.
"Master, she is talking nonsense, Wu Fanniang lied to you, she clearly told her subordinates that she lost the family heirloom, otherwise how could an outsider search my house if she lost something, she is a poisonous woman, she lied to you." As soon as Aunt Li listened to their conversation, she found out that she had been fooled, if it was a small stammer, she would not let people search her room if she was killed, and the little stammering was the oldest.
She scolded unwillingly and asked the third master to seek justice for her.
Who the hell lost something? The third master looked at the third wife inquiringly.
The third lady shook her head very funny: "Master, look at what she said, what kind of character do I have?" Will I look for it all over the yard if I lose something? I don't care about those things. ”
The third old man thinks about his daughter-in-law's character, and his daughter-in-law will not look for her all over the yard because she loses something.
"If Fan Niang loses it, it doesn't matter if she searches it or not, it's her own people, if it's Miss's thing lost in our house, then it's really a shame for adults, you know the noise, have you found anything?" He said.
When Aunt Li heard this, the third master didn't care who lost the thing, this was not the focus of his concern, but it could show that she was indeed framed.
Why doesn't the lord care?
"You are talking nonsense, you wicked woman with a three-faceted face, if you don't care, why did you let your people steal my money?" She pointed at the third wife, her face anxious.
The third lady smiled even more when she saw Aunt Li's sloppy appearance, and she lifted the silver herself, so don't blame her for suing the black.
The third lady pretended to be unclear and looked at the third master: "Master, how could my people steal my aunt's silver, and how much silver can my aunt have that is worth stealing?" ”
Yes, she just took care of his money, only more than three hundred taels, can Fan Niang put it in her eyes? The third master was also amused by Aunt Li's words.
Aunt Li felt that she was being ridiculed, and her mouth suddenly pouted: "She has a lot of silver." She was about to speak unconvinced, but her henchman hurriedly lowered her head to remind her: "Auntie......"
The servant's voice was so small that only Aunt Li could hear it, and Aunt Li suddenly felt that she had said the wrong thing and was busy with her mouth.
Seeing that Aunt Li stopped singing by herself, the old woman on the third wife's side stood up.
She shook off a stack of silver tickets and gave it to the third master: "The master found this in the aunt's room, it was not the stolen goods of the young lady, but the amount of silver is huge, and the slave and maid are afraid that it will come from the wrong way." ”
"I'm the housekeeper in the house, what's a little silver? Why is it coming from the wrong way? Aunt Li's fear was driven away by her mother-in-law's words again.
She became even angrier, kneeling there and looking back viciously, squinting at her mother-in-law.
"Yes, my aunt has been a housekeeper for many years, and it is not unusual to have silver in her hand, this is the silver in the house." The third lady seemed kind enough to help her play a round.
Aunt Li's eyes rolled, she had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, why was Wu Fanniang so kind to help her speak?
The third master's face changed a little.
"Madam, this is five thousand taels of silver." The third wife's mother-in-law was not to be outdone: "The silver in the house is all obtained from the old man's industry, how much silver can the old man's industry receive?" Five thousand taels is too much. And Miss Six is seriously ill and has no money, isn't it still the money that his wife takes? Why did you have no money then, but now you have an extra 5,000 taels of silver? Therefore, the slave and maid saw that the money was coming from the wrong way. ”
It turned out that she was waiting for her here, Aunt Li listened to her mother-in-law's words, and sat on the ground paralyzed, she looked at the third master stupidly, it was over, and she forgot that when Xiaoshan was sick, she didn't take any money.
Her servant lowered her head and sighed in her heart, her aunt was too clever in her calculations, but it was a pity that she was blinded when she encountered money.
The third lady was obviously helping Aunt Li speak, but in fact, she was waiting for this sentence, "Why didn't you have any money at the time, but now you have an extra 5,000 taels of silver?" She pretended to have just come to her senses, looked at the third master in surprise, and stopped talking. (To be continued......)
