When the Yamen received the report from the Sheng family, they almost couldn't believe their ears!
Because of that kind of housework, even if someone is killed, the mother-in-law's family has always noticed the clues and made a fuss in the Yamen. It has never been said that the husband's family reported it to the government when the mother-in-law's family didn't know the news!
Although Lao Fang, who reported the case, clearly told them that Mrs. Sheng was seeking righteousness to exterminate the family, but after Lao Fang left, the people from the yamen gathered together to discuss, and they all suspected Sheng Lan's words: "Tiger poison does not eat its seeds! Mrs. Sheng never eats it again!" How can you not give your own son a way to live? I'm afraid Mr. Sheng might have thought that his brother had been messing around with women and neglecting business all these years, so he took this opportunity to instigate Mr. Sheng to get rid of the younger brother, so as to prevent him from continuing to ruin the Sheng family's property? "
Of course, some people shut up on behalf of Sheng Lanci: "Master Sheng is not a stingy person. Just because the old lady of the Sheng family loves the first family, if he can't tolerate brother Dong, the second master Sheng will be happy until tomorrow? Isn't that right? I'm afraid that Mr. Sheng's character cannot tolerate such a thing. Have you forgotten? A few months ago, on Mr. Sheng's birthday, the seventh lady of the third room of the Sheng family said in public that the second Mr. Sheng was making trouble at the door because of his foreign wife. I was beaten so hard by Mrs. Sheng!"
"It is natural for a father to beat his son!" But most people shook their heads, "Who has never received a stick from his own father? But how many fathers are willing to send their sons to die? Not brothers, especially brothers from different mothers. , Fang has the experience of Huandong!"
Naturally, the Sheng family at this moment didn't know about the yamen's whispers.
Ever since Mrs. Sheng decided to report to the government, the entire Sheng family has been in chaos: First, Mrs. Fu Ming couldn't bear the blow and fainted on the spot. Then, when Fu Sheng Weirao finally got her wish, she kowtowed to her grandfather again in gratitude and fainted with relief. past!
As soon as the two lay down, all the older female relatives in the house were trapped: Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Xiao had to attend to their mother-in-law; Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingjiang had to go to accompany Sheng Weirao!
The men were not relaxed either, because judging from the look on Mr. Sheng’s face after he made the decision, even if he didn’t fall to the east on the spot, he would probably have to suffer from illness when he came back from the east!
Before Sheng Lanci returned home, the third master Sheng Lanzi was already mentally prepared to serve him.
What's more, the Hong family's biological son is the ten-year-old fifth son Sheng Weixing. Even though Sheng Weixing was watched by the East and could not go to Jinxue Hall to seek justice for his biological mother with his sister, his comfort should not be forgotten. of.
"It's up to the Dong people to take care of the things, so we just have to keep an eye on the Didong people and not slack off." As the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Feng usually has the important task of taking care of the external affairs of the Hefu. Suddenly she was thrown into such a thing, it was almost... After walking around in circles, I finally found some time to tell my daughter, "The key is to wait until Rao'er wakes up and don't ask her to say stupid things again!"
-Although Sheng Weirao had promised to seek justice for the Hong family, she didn't care at all about risking her life.
But Mrs. Feng didn't want to see her doomed niece have any troubles. At this moment, she explained to her daughter, thought of something, frowned again, pulled the two girls to a corner where there was no one, and lowered her voice. He said in his voice, "Although I can't speculate on what happened to my second aunt's death right now. I'd like to wait until the government office finds out what happened. But whether what happened to her in the second room can be avoided." Rao'er was hurt by the situation, but it was just a precaution. According to his opinion, he should not let her go back to Hua Fei Building where she lived. He should take her to Zhu Ying's Xiaozhu and live with my dear girl for some confinement. Come on! Anyway, I have a vacant house there, so I can pack it up quickly!"
When he said that, he looked at Gongsun Yingjiang and said in a lower voice, "My dear girl, I am a homeless person. During the confinement period when they and the sisters lived together, please trouble Yingjiang and I have to worry a lot!"
After all, Mrs. Feng said, "We have to wait until the Yamen finds out before we can count." But in fact, she also believed that the Hong family was murdered, and the person who murdered the Hong family was Sheng Lance. At this moment, she entrusted Gongsun Yingjiang to , I don’t know whether it has two meanings: first, whether to let Gongsun Yingjiang take precautions against the people who murdered the Hong family, so as not to let Sheng Lansi or the Dongren instigated by Sheng Lansi know about Sheng Weirao’s insistence, and then let Mrs. Sheng Dongding decide Determined, the old wife of Buqin obstructed the reporting to the official and would continue to murder Sheng Weirao to vent her anger;
Secondly, the reason why Sheng Lanci agreed to Gongsun Yingjiang's entry into the Sheng family was because he was optimistic about Sheng Weirao. Don't let that hateful girl trick Sheng Weiqiao!
Gongsun Yingjiang knew it well and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Mother Zhu, he will take good care of my aunt!" "
Feng then touched Sheng Weiqiao's temples and hurried away.
Sheng Weiqiao brought Gongsun Yingjiang to the second room with a gloomy expression. In fact, after Sheng Weirao fainted, she wanted to accompany her cousin back to the second room immediately. But because Mrs. Feng wanted to give her a few words, she arranged for Xiquan to take someone to carry Sheng Weirao back. In the second room, I and Mrs. Xiao went to settle Mrs. Ming, and then took the time to shut up my daughter.
After such a delay, when Sheng Wei Qiao's aunt and nephew arrived at Hua Fei Building, everything outside was quiet as Xiao Quanqing passed by.
Lu Jin knocked on the door gently, and the door opened immediately.
The person who opened the door turned out to be Baozhuang, Sheng Weirao's maid who served the Hong family. All of her companions were killed or injured in the process of wandering into the sea. After returning, the Hong family felt sorry for her daughter. It is said that Tite gave her right-hand man her right hand. So Sheng Weiqiao was not surprised to see Baozhuang there now - Baozhuang looked haggard, her watery eyes were red and slightly swollen as if she had just cried hard.
After the door opened, he saw Fu Shengwei's aunt and nephew coming. He knelt down and saluted: "Second Miss!"
Then he greeted Gongsun Yingjiang Fu at the back, "Miss Sun!"
Sheng Weiqiao said goodbye and asked in a low voice: "How is sister Rao doing now?"
"Miss, those confinements were very weak to begin with!" Baozhuang cried again when she heard this. She turned her head in panic and wiped her tears, choking, "I just forced myself to go to the Forbidden Snow Hall and knocked my forehead like that. , thinking about it, the injury was severe! She was very unconscious at that time, and Aunt Xiquan went to find the doctor herself. When Doctor Bu Nao came to the house, he always asked to see the old lady first, and she didn’t know when Can you come over there?"
Sheng Weiqiao said with a serious face: "Mother said that the second aunt was going there because she was afraid that the place where sister Rao would live would cause harm to the environment and make her sick, so she asked him to take sister Rao to live in Zhu Ying Xiaozhu for some confinement. Now that the doctor is not here, we Quickly pack up for Sister Rao and get ready to move to his place!"
Baozhuang was startled when she heard the words, and her haggard face showed a touch of secret joy: Although she didn't have the courage to go to the Forbidden Snow Hall just now, but what Sheng Weirao did and said in the Forbidden Snow Hall, I'm afraid the whole mansion would be shocked. Word spread.
Baozhuang didn't know that Sheng Weirao even said that he didn't care about her grandmother's life or death in public. Even if Mrs. Yue Houming didn't ask her for the crime of unfilial piety, would that young lady's future be completely ruined
And having been the personal maid of the Hong family's mother and daughter, what good things could she do
Ruming Feng actually ordered Sheng Weirao to be taken to the big house and live with Sheng Weiqiao. Even if it was just a short stay, it would be said that he would live in the big house from now on. However, this move undoubtedly hinted that the Sheng family was in the east: the big house was wrong for Sheng Weirao. Whether to hold sympathy and protection.
Considering Dafang's status in that family, they expressed their stance like that, which was like giving Sheng Weirao's master and servant a chance of survival!
"Second Miss, don't worry. I'll call someone to clean up the miss!" Baozhuang calmed down and said gratefully, "The eldest lady and the second miss have shown their great kindness to their mistress. I will never forget it!"
She said those words sincerely, but Sheng Weiqiao sighed: "We are all a family, what are you talking about? From now on, serve Sister Rao well, and neither his parents nor he will forget us. .”
Baozhuang respectfully said no.
When they shut up, they had already entered the outer room - Sheng Weiqiao suddenly stopped and looked suspiciously at the maids who were following them:
There are four maids in front of you, including Baozhuang and Waiyi. Sheng Weiqiao is familiar with these four people. Are they always serving the Hong family's four treasures: Baozhuang, Baoyue, Baoli, and Baoqin.
At that time, everyone had red eyes, red faces, pricked legs, and a confused look.
Sheng Weiqiao knew that they were all the guests of the house who personally called Yazi to buy the house after the Hong family came in. If the Hong family suddenly disappeared, it was understandable that they would panic.
Bu Nao made her frown and stop, and waved her legs to signal Baoyue and the others to go out to the corridor to shut up: "Why are we all there? Doesn't Second Aunt need someone to take care of her?"
Sheng Weiqiao was in a very bad mood when she said those words - although there were often rumors in the Sheng Mansion that the Hong family treated Dong harshly, even if she was not a personal maid, she often acted as a punchline when she was in a bad mood. However, after all the master-servant conflict, the Hong family just went there, and none of the four maids stayed with the Hong family to take care of her. Instead, they crowded in front of Sheng Weirao. Isn't that too snobbish? !
"Second Miss, you misunderstood!" Since Si Bao was promoted to the side by the Hong family with a bad temper, he was no doubt a fool. His observation of words revealed Sheng Weiqiao's thoughts, and he hurriedly explained, "The slaves were dismissed by Madam two days ago. When I get to the Third Miss, I already belong to the Third Miss! The Madam and Chuan Gui have newly promoted maids to serve, so if the slaves throw Miss Dong over at that time, they might be competing for jobs with them!"
Sheng Weiqiao then softened his expression, nodded and said: "I see, that's what he said! We are all close friends of the second aunt, how can we not even be able to distinguish the importance?"
After figuring out the matter, she returned to the outer room and saw Sheng Weirao lying on his back with his eyes closed, his face pale, and his breath so weak that it was difficult to detect. Fortunately, he was quite stable.
Sheng Weiqiao stood silently for a while, confirming that the cousin had woken up temporarily, leaving Dong Baoyue and Baoli to guard her, and took Baozhuang and Baoqin out to discuss how to pack Sheng Weirao's things.
According to Baozhuang and Baoqin's thoughts, they wished they could evacuate the entire Huafei Building and live in Zhu Ying Xiaozhu from now on and never come back.
But that was obviously not possible. Even if Sheng Weiqiao didn't mind his sister's intrusion, Sheng Lanci and his wife might not be willing to keep their niece for that long.
Therefore, Baozhuang and Baoqin concealed their true feelings and said, "It's summer and clothes don't take up much space, so it's enough to pack a few sets first. The sika deer tied outside the building must be packed first." Send it back to the courtyard - Miss liked the deer very much before, so why don't you relieve Miss' boredom? Two days ago, Madam asked someone to bring one out so that Miss can enjoy it."
Hearing this, Sheng Wei Qiao suddenly remembered that it was the first time he heard sika deer released in the courtyard, and it was true that his cousin Shen Jiuniang told him.
At that time, Shen Jiuniang, who used to laugh and describe sweetly, "I know how to pick up cakes from people's legs and pick up the flower branches we throw out, it's really fun." I don't know where she is now
A swimmer of thousands, is she still alive
She was lost for a moment, and then asked with some sadness: "So there is a deer tied outside? They didn't see it when they came."
Baozhuang pointed in one direction: "It's right there. The gate of the small courtyard to the east of the building is blocked by the wall, but you can't see it. Madam thinks they are not animals after all. No matter how you wash them, they will inevitably smell when you are around them, so you can't see them." Let them be raised in the courtyard. But it’s not convenient to bring them to the lady, and because they are well-tamed and never noisy, they are tied outside."
"The only big house on the right is only a few steps away from there." Sheng Weiqiao nodded, "Let's pack away the things that Sister Rao uses most often. We can just come back and pick up the rest in two days." "
Having said that, I thought of Sheng Weixing. Although that cousin had not experienced the same shock as Sheng Weirao, the pain of losing his mother might not be easy for the ten-year-old fifth son. He asked: "Wrong? Where is the fifth brother? Who will accompany him?"
Baozhuang was begging for an answer when footsteps were heard outside, and the young maid hurried in holding her skirt and said no, "Aunt Xiquan is here with the doctor!"
After hearing this, the master and servants stopped talking and went to meet the doctor.
