Fu Qiuning was absentmindedly embroidering a handkerchief, thinking that Aunt Xu might have seen Jin Zhenyi at this moment. well! This woman had no good intentions toward him in the past, and she was not very sensible. Although she has been training at Zhuangzi for a year, who knows whether she will become more talented? When I came back this time, I was a bit embarrassed about how to get along with her. After all, she can be considered a pitiful woman. Although poor people must be hateful, she is responsible for all this.
She was Jin Fengju's official wife. Aunt Xu's status was already lower than hers, not to mention that she had been framed before, so Fu Qiuning had absolutely no reason to go to meet her and sent Yu Jie over, which was considered very kind. Everyone in the family knew that Yujie was the most trusted maid beside her, and sometimes she could represent Fu Qiuning.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw Jian Feng walking in and whispered: "Grandma, I just came from the side hall and saw Yu Jie leading Aunt Xu to our side." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the little maid shout. He raised the curtain and said, "Aunt Xu is here."
Fu Qiuning put down the embroidery in her hands, stood up and went outside, where she saw Aunt Xu standing there. The two hadn't seen each other for nearly a year, which was a bit awkward. Fu Qiuning consciously had no feelings for Aunt Xu. Seeing her calm expression at this time, he was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and said: "It'll be good to come back. Brother Yi is thinking of you. Do the math, it's quite a rush on this journey, right? Otherwise, I think it would take you about half the afternoon to come."
"Yes, when I heard about this, I was so frightened that I lost my mind. I just asked the coachman to drive as hard as he could." Aunt Xu replied. Seeing Fu Qiuning go to the chair and sit down, she pointed to the empty seat opposite. She said to herself: "It's been a hard journey, so let's sit down and talk." She gritted her teeth and suddenly knelt down in front of Fu Qiuning.
He never expected that she would do this. Fu Qiuning was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly left his seat, held her arm in person and said: "What are you doing? When did our family have such a rule? Get up and let the third girl It doesn’t look cool, get up quickly..."
Aunt Xu cried and said: "I used to be ignorant and jealous of grandma. Brother Yi also asked me to instigate him. Later I went to Zhuangzi, and it was these two children who worried about me day and night. Although the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion is I am a generous family, but I know in my heart that no matter where this child ends up, he will never be a good child. But I didn’t expect that Brother Yi and Miss San were more promising than before when they went to Zhuangzi to see me. They said that grandma treats them well. Excellent, grandma... I... I don't know how to express these words that are full of my heart. Thank you. Thank you so much for being so kind to my two children regardless of past grudges... "
As she spoke, she actually wanted to kowtow. How could Fu Qiuning accept this? After finally calling out Yu Jie and Jian Feng, the three of them pulled Aunt Xu up together. Fu Qiuning asked her to sit down in the chair again. In a moment, the little maids brought a washbasin towel and asked Aunt Xu to wash away the tears on her face. Fu Qiuning then said seriously: "You don't have to thank me for this. To be honest, if it was for what you did to me, I would never forgive you easily. But just like you said, Brother Yi also How old is the child who was instigated by you? How do you know what is right and wrong? No matter how cruel I am, I will not put your blame on them. What's more, you have already been severely punished, why should I add insult to injury again? It’s just to add insult to injury, but I won’t do it on the children’s heads.”
Aunt Xu said gratefully: "Grandma's words are a wise saying. Although I am not as talented and knowledgeable as Grandma, I still know the saying, 'What's wrong with a child?' But how many people in this world can understand this truth? Even if they do, How many people can do this? Even I can never do it. Grandma used to take care of Brother Feng and the eldest girl, and we all said behind your back that you were pretending to be virtuous. Thinking about it now, it was really ridiculous at that time. Who could Can you pretend to be virtuous for six or seven years? It can be seen that grandma is broad-minded, but brother Yi and Miss Feng are in different situations than brother Feng, so grandma can treat her like this. I... I really don’t know what to say. …”
Fu Qiuning smiled and said: "Okay, even if you sincerely repent, you still have to go to me and say that there is no need to say these words in my place. You came back just now, but you went to see Brother Yi? Isn't he awake yet? ?”
Aunt Xu nodded and said: "Yes, Bai Lu said that he fell asleep after tossing for a while, so I came to grandma first without waking him up. Does grandma know who did such cruel things to Brother Yi? I Seeing the child's head bandaged with white cloth, I... I was really heartbroken. Thinking about what happened that day, how could I be so blinded by lard that I was so determined to make that knife on Brother Yi's head? I... Could it be that this is retribution from God? I can do it to my own son, let alone others? But if this is the case, why not retribution on me... "
Seeing that she was about to cry again, Fu Qiuning hurriedly handed over a handkerchief and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, this matter is not a trivial matter and must be investigated clearly. I have also unleashed the wrath of thunder before, and the crime of murdering my master is not a small matter." , what Brother Yi saw and heard must be related to the life of the murderer. He was able to escape this death, which is considered a blessing from God. You must know that surviving a catastrophe will bring blessings... "
Before he could finish his sentence, Qiu Yu suddenly walked in and said hurriedly: "Grandma, the old lady is here. She is already in the garden now."
Fu Qiuning stood up and said in surprise: "Who told the old lady? My wife also told me not to let the old lady know before. Who is talking too much..." Before he could finish speaking, he heard a breathless voice outside the door: " Hiding it from me, hiding it from me all, but seeing that I am no longer useful when I am old?”
Fu Qiuning thought to herself, isn't it just because you are old that you can't help but be overjoyed, sad and worried? But how could he dare to argue at this time? Busy and Aunt Xu personally stepped forward and helped the angry Mrs. Jin in. When Mrs. Jin saw Aunt Xu, she snorted and said to Fu Qiuning: "Okay, you have taken good care of everything, so you know how to call brother Yi back at this time. Why don't you think about it? Where in the world is this? Are there airtight walls? The house is so big, and my old lady can’t walk, so you can hide it from me just by looking at her? "
Fu Qiuning hurriedly smiled and said: "My ancestor has wronged me. I didn't intend to hide it from you. I just wanted to wait for Brother Yi to get better from his injury and then let him pay his respects to our ancestor..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Mrs. Jin said anxiously: "Is his injury better? But he is very serious now? How is he doing? Take me in quickly to have a look."
Fu Qiuning said hurriedly: "My brother is still asleep now. The imperial doctor has seen it before and said it is nothing serious. But I think it hurts my brain after all, so it is better to lie still for now. To be honest with our ancestors, Aunt Xu, my mother-in-law, also came here just now. She saw that her brother was sleeping, but she didn’t wake him up. Grandpa, please sit here for a while. Now that you are here, I got up early and asked them to make some unique snacks, which I just brought. I’ll give you a taste and save you a trip to Kangshouyuan.”
Old Mrs. Jin sat down, shook her head and sighed: "I don't know what's going on in this house, but accidents have happened one after another in the past two years. Fengju's incident scared me so much that I lost half of my life. After that, I ordered people to send hundreds of taels of incense oil to Baiyun Temple. I only asked those eminent monks to offer more lamp oil in front of the Buddha for us. Why is it still not peaceful? Brother Yi is now the master, and I don’t know how heartless he is. How can you be so bold?"
Fu Qiuning and Aunt Xu both listened quietly to Mrs. Jin's scolding. After scolding for a while, the old lady stopped. After taking a few breaths, she drank two more sips of water. She looked at Fu Qiuning and said, "I heard that it was in Meilinzi." I found Brother Yi inside? Where is he? That afternoon Luo Cui and two or three little girls went to fold plum blossoms for me, how come they didn't see him? "
Fu Qiuning's eyes flashed and he hurriedly asked: "Ancestor, when did Miss Luocui and the little girls go to Meilinzi?"
Mrs. Jin shook her head and said, "How can I remember this? Luo Cui, can you still remember it yourself?"
Luo Cui said: "At that time, it was already Shenshi Winning. Just because the plum blossoms in the old lady's house had withered. I thought that the old lady had not had much energy to eat these days. If I looked at the withered plum blossoms, I was afraid that I would feel even worse, so I reported back and took two little girls, Hui'er and Qiao'er, over there. However, they were only focused on folding plum blossoms at that time and didn't pay attention to anything else. It was almost dusk, so we folded a few branches and left. If we knew that such a thing happened, You can't leave at all, if you look for him, maybe Master Yi won't have to suffer the cold for so long."
When she said this, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly her face turned pale, and she argued: "The old lady and grandma Mingjian, we did not see Master Yi, let alone have such a thunderous intention to murder the master..."
"Don't worry, Miss Luocui. I know this matter has nothing to do with you. I'm afraid that Brother Yi's survival is probably because of you." Fu Qiuning finally got the answer to the question in his heart, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jin again. The old lady said: "The two boys who followed Brother Yi said that they didn't know what they saw. They drove them back and then secretly entered Meilinzi by himself. I think Brother Yi must have It was because he discovered something strange that he took the risk. If Luo Cui and two little girls were just going to pick plum blossoms, what would be a strange thing? He would definitely not take the risk. The young Marquis thought the same."
