"Grandmother is right. Naturally, there are no ghosts in this mansion. What is haunted is 'people's hearts'!" Nangong Yue said loudly, "At first, my granddaughter thought it was my brother's misreading, until Mrs. Ning in the mansion presented a Only then can my granddaughter be sure that someone is pretending to be a ghost!"
"What?" Su Shi asked coldly.
"A ghost mask and a white dress were thrown down hastily by Mrs. Ning when the person pretending to be a ghost fled to the back door of the garden last night. The granddaughter has already brought it." Nangong Yue took it from Yimei. A blue bundle, offered with both hands.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the burden, their eyes were piercing, and they all thought in their hearts: Is it possible that someone pretends to be a ghost to scare people
"Bring it to me to have a look." Su Shi said in a deep voice.
"No, aunt!" Su Qingping said with a worried face, "How can such pickled things stain your old man's eyes."
"Biaogu Ping's words are not right." Nangong Yue said with a serious face, "The real dirty thing should be people's hearts, and it was my brother who was frightened by that person pretending to be a ghost yesterday. If someone finds out, I don’t know who will be killed tomorrow!”
As she said that, without waiting for Su's reply, she decisively unwrapped the burden... Even though everyone was already prepared in their hearts, they couldn't help but gasped when they saw this. This ghost mask is really hideous, it already feels creepy during the day, let alone at night!
"Ah..." Nangong Lin screamed even more in fright, and she covered the second half of the sound tightly with her hands.
Su's eyes were cloudy, but he still didn't speak.
Nangong Yue was not in a hurry, and continued in a calm manner: "Grandmother, my granddaughter has looked at this mask carefully last night, but I can't see anything special about it. It's just that the white robe, my granddaughter thinks it's made of Songjiang fine cloth." Nangong Yue's words were like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, causing splashes.
Mrs. Su frowned when she heard this. Songjiang Fine Cloth is a new fabric that Jinxiu Cloth Factory launched in the past year. The production of this fabric is small, so it can be said that the supply exceeds the demand. This kind of fabric has never been bought before, but after entering Beijing this time, someone showed favor to Nangong Mansion and sent a few pieces. Could it be that this haunting has something to do with the master of the mansion
No matter who is found out, it is a big joke!
Spread the word, I'm afraid it will become the laughing stock of the entire capital!
Su's eyes were gloomy and uncertain, and her right hand was tightly holding the armrest of the armchair.
This fabric is... Su Qingping's eyes flashed, and she said curiously: "I don't think there is anything special about this fabric, it's just ordinary white cloth. Why did Miss Yue think it was Songjiang fine cloth?"
Nangong Yue picked up the white robe and said: "As we all know, although Songjiang fine cloth looks like ordinary fine cloth, it has a characteristic, that is, it will become more comfortable and sweat-absorbent when exposed to water. This cloth There are not many horses in the house, Wang Momo, am I right?"
"Yes, the third lady." Wang Momo hurriedly said, "If I remember correctly, the three wives in the mansion each got a horse, and the young lady and Miss Su Biao also got a horse."
Mrs. Zhao nodded slightly: "That's true."
Su Qingping heard the words, but her face was surprised, and she said slowly: "I, I also have..." Then she blushed suddenly, "Yes, I remembered, my aunt sent someone to bring over a white horse. Muslin...but I am blind and blind and don't recognize gold inlaid with jade, which makes the pearl covered with dust." After speaking, she lowered her head in shame, revealing her slender and fair neck, but there was a gloomy look in her eyes. , it turned out that it was Songjiang fine cloth, and the servant who delivered the things for my aunt didn't remind myself, so I made a joke of myself!
Nangong Lin was angry in her heart: As a decent young lady in Nangong Mansion, she failed to get it, but Su Qingping, a poor relative with no vision, got it. Grandma's heart was too far away! Sure enough, it was her mother who treated her best. !
Su Qingping's heart relaxed again, her eyes rolled around, and she had an idea. She suddenly said to Liu Rong, the maid beside her, "Liu Rong, go and get my Songjiang fine cloth and let the third girl have a look."
"Yes, big girl." Liu Rong took the order and left. Su Qingping lived in the side courtyard of Rong'an Hall, not far away, and after a while, Liu Rong brought a piece of white cloth.
Under Nangong Yue's signal, Yimei stepped forward to take a look, and replied, "Third Miss, it is indeed Songjiang Fine Cloth."
Su Qingping couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, and a look of pride flashed in her eyes.
Nangong Yue took all of this into consideration, and her heart sank: According to reason, Su Shi hasn't made a statement yet, so Su Qingping didn't need to be so eager to show her innocence, but she just did so. Based on her understanding of this woman, Su Qingping never did anything useless, could it be that...
Nangong Lin's gaze fell on Su Qingping's cloth, thinking that she had a clear conscience anyway, so she simply stepped forward and said, "Third Sister, my mother has already made me a middle coat from her Songjiang fine cloth, those scraps of cloth It's still there, I'll let Xing Yu get it." She winked at Xing Yu, the maid beside her, and Xing Yu immediately left in response.
"Trouble third sister." Nangong Yue bowed, and said to Yimei, "Yimei, go and get my mother's piece of Songjiang fine cloth..."
"There's no need for that." Mrs. Zhao interrupted Nangong Yue, "Why would the second sibling harm brother Xin!"
Nangong Yue still insisted on her own opinion: "Auntie, my mother will not harm Brother Xin, and my niece is also afraid of internal thieves. It's better to testify one by one." Yimei hurriedly took orders and left.
When the situation came to this point, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help frowning. If she doesn't express her opinion now, it will be as if she has a guilty conscience, so she said to the nanny: "Nurse Ying, go and get the Songjiang muslin for me and sister Cheng."
"Yes, Da Furen." Nanny Ying also withdrew.
Su Clan was still sitting on the armchair, with a gloomy expression, and didn't say anything.
The waiting time is always so long, Rong'an hall was silent for a while, Nangong Lin came over quietly, pulled Nangong Yue's sleeve, and whispered: "Third sister, who do you think it could be?"
Nangong Yue showed a half-smile expression on her face, "How would I know this?"
"Then who do you most want to find out?" Nangong Lin's words were obviously malicious.
Nangong Yue's face revealed a trace of sarcasm: "Fourth sister's words are wrong! I believe that neither the eldest aunt, the third aunt, nor the eldest sister would do such a despicable thing. But my sister's tone is doubtful... "She hesitated to speak on purpose. In fact, Nangong Yue had also suspected the third aunt, Huang Shi. After all, Huang Shi had just accepted the enmity with herself and her mother not long ago, but now seeing Nangong Lin's attitude, she was almost sure that this matter should have nothing to do with Huang Shi.
On the contrary, it was "she"... Nangong Yue gave Su Qingping a meaningful look. The behavior of her cousin Ping was really weird.
