Yang was surprised and said, "Didn't you say to keep a distance this morning, so as not to be crowded inside and outside?"
Aunt Jiang smiled and said, "I just wanted to thank you. I'm afraid I'm not a human being inside or outside? It's just etiquette. Naturally, we should keep a respectful distance from now on."
Yang sighed and said, "What do you respect and stay away from? You don't stay far away if you should be far away, but you say respect and stay away from you who shouldn't be far away. Sigh! Now you have become so strange, I don't even know what to say about you."
"Sister, don't worry, I have my own ideas." Aunt Jiang smiled wryly, and said to herself, how can you understand the entanglement and fear in my heart? well! Sure enough, it is rare to be confused. How many horrors would arise from a smart person just because he has seen through some things? The old people say that seeing through the red dust is frightening, and they are absolutely right.
It's just that these words can't be said to people. In the afternoon, Aunt Jiang thought that Su Nuannuan was just taking a nap, and it was time to wake up, so she dressed up lightly and went to Chunfeng Garden, and when she arrived in the courtyard, she saw Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan playing in the cage under the corridor That mynah, seeing her coming, Su Nuannuan greeted with a smile: "The sun is big, why are you here?"
Aunt Jiang hurriedly saluted Duan Tingxuan with a straight face. After going through so many things, she has already seen through her master's thoughts, so those thoughts of looking forward to favor are almost gone. Now she just wants to guard her son and live peacefully in this mansion with no worries about food and clothing. It's a pity that even this little wish is probably just an extravagant wish.
"Okay, you go into the room and talk, I'll go to the study..." Duan Tingxuan didn't want to get involved in the women's topic, and was about to withdraw when he heard Siping's voice outside: "Master, the prince is here, and he is in the master's study .The master told you to hurry over."
"Oh my God." Duan Tingxuan patted his forehead and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't the second prince tell him to become a Buddha jumping over the wall tomorrow? Why did he come here in person? Do you still look like a prince?"
While talking, he hurried away. Here, Aunt Jiang laughed and said: "Grandma's craftsmanship is really good, even the prince came here in person, just to try the Buddha jumping over the wall, I am afraid that there is no other woman in the world who can treat His Royal Highness like this influential."
"The prince doesn't know how many catties he has lost. He is still thinking about the Buddha jumping over the wall. I really don't know what to say about him." Su Nuannuan patted the bird food off her hand, and entered the room with Aunt Jiang, listening to Aunt Jiang Specially thank her for specialties and kelp silk. She smiled and said, "What's the matter? Everyone has it. Would I go past you? Don't say I like Brother Chuan very much, but I just don't like it. Reason and favor are here."
while talking. Let Honglian go and get the purse from the drawer in the back room, and she took the purse. Opened it and took out ten pearls, handed them to Aunt Jiang and said, "I got these by accident in Liaodong. There are more than 200 pearls in total. I honor the old lady. I gave some more, and there are not many left in my hand. You come here with sincerity today. Those who see you have a share, and those who don’t come. I don’t bother to seek relationships.”
Ten pearls are nothing at all, but Aunt Jiang naturally has eyesight, and she was surprised after just one glance: "This is not an ordinary pearl, it looks like the Dongzhu on the side of the Wusuli River, and the Hepu pearl is not as round and huge as it is." , how do you make it? It's too expensive."
Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "Don't say it like you haven't seen the world, this is Dongzhu, that's right, in fact, in terms of value, it is slightly inferior to Hepu beads. Look, it is made with other beads to make a bead string. Or simply make bracelets, or rings and earrings, it’s up to you.”
"The concubine will thank grandma." Aunt Jiang quickly stood up and thanked her again. After the two talked for a while, she lowered her head and muttered. Seeing her like this, Su Nuannuan was a little puzzled, and said with a smile: "What? You came here on purpose, do you have something to say?"
"It's nothing. The concubine just heard a story a few days ago, so she feels sorry for her. After thinking about it for a long time, she simply doesn't know how to deal with it. Grandma is always smart and has ideas, so the concubine thinks Ask grandma for advice."
"Oh?" Su Nuannuan became interested, thinking that this is something new, but somehow, it stumped this woman who was desperate and willing to sacrifice everything. Most importantly: why did she ask me for advice? Why not ask her Grandma Yun? Ten East Pearls shouldn't make her turn against each other, right
As she was thinking about it, Aunt Jiang said sadly: "There is a woman who followed her master into a wealthy family, and was later taken in as a roommate by their master..."
This is clearly Aunt Jiang's self-report. At first, Su Nuannuan wondered why she said these things. After hearing this, her complexion gradually became serious. When she heard that a grandma tried to kill this woman's child, although she failed. Then the woman fell into distress and didn't know what to do. Her hands couldn't help clenching.
The grandma that Aunt Jiang was talking about was not referring to herself. Could it be that she found the murderer who killed Brother Chuan? And the murderers are Xu Ranyun and Xue Zhilan
Thinking of this, Su Nuannuan felt short of breath, quickly took two deep breaths, and said in a deep voice, "What's there to worry about? According to what you said, that master is still a good person. Why? Why don't you go to him to decide?"
"There is no evidence, everything is just the woman's own speculation, and she has made a mistake once for this matter, and time has passed, if she makes a fuss, no one will believe her, and will say that she is causing trouble. "
Aunt Jiang sighed, she was so regretful that her intestines were green now, if she hadn't been blinded by lard that day, she ran to the old lady Fang and risked everything to frame Su Nuannuan, she wouldn't be where she is today This dilemma.
"Then what is this woman going to do in the future?"
Without evidence, these four words really make Su Nuannuan helpless. Xu Ranyun is not an ordinary concubine, knowing that she has a vicious heart, she can be sold or kicked out even if there is no evidence, she is the daughter of the Earl's Mansion, no matter how vicious things she does, as long as there is no evidence, she cannot be dealt with casually , just like Su Nuannuan's predecessor did so many bad things, but because she was not caught, no one could do anything about her. In the end, she was kicked out to Meiyue Tower after the Pingguo Mansion fell.
Aunt Jiang smiled bitterly and said: "She just didn't know what to do. For a moment she thought about risking her life, but she also felt sorry for the child. If she died, who would take care of the child? It doesn't matter if she can't get a good end, or herself, I'm afraid that the child will be implicated as well. The servants and concubines think about it for a long time, and found that if such a thing happened to me, it would be unthinkable. Grandma is With great wisdom, I wonder if you have any ideas?"
Su Nuannuan fully understands the conflict in Aunt Jiang's heart, but she really doesn't have a good idea about this kind of thing. Even if Duan Tingxuan was told, it would be useless without evidence, and it would only add to his distress.
Because she thought about it, she said softly: "Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to keep it at a respectful distance. The idea of burning everything together is absolutely unacceptable, just as she thought, it doesn't matter if she dies, but who will take care of the child? Fortunately, this is a wealthy nobleman." , can’t afford to provoke them, can’t they hide? As long as they are far away, the other party will be beyond their reach, and they will not be able to harm their mother and child.”
Aunt Jiang sighed, a little disappointed in her heart, secretly thinking that Grandma really can't think about it? But then I thought about it: Who can do this kind of thing? Even if the master believed his own words, he would have a solution? It's hard for an upright official to break up housework. The grandma is willing to say the following, which is the most benevolent to herself. After all, she has harmed others in the past. This is the grandma. If it were someone else, she would wish to see you in bad luck. She gloated by the side Outrageous, how can you say these words kindly.
After being stunned for a while, Su Nuannuan said: "If the woman feels that it is difficult to speak, she might as well entrust someone else, whether it is a wife or an old lady, and ask her to go as a companion, that would be fine." Is it?" The old lady here refers to herself, who asked Aunt Jiang to straighten Xu Ranyun in the story
In fact, it is also possible to let Duan Maochuan come to Chunfengyuan, but first, Su Nuannuan does not want to take care of other people's children for a long time, even if she likes Duan Maochuan; second, she must dispel Aunt Jiang's suspicion, lest the other party think that she is going to take her away child.
"If you can really keep it at a respectful distance, then there is really no way out." Aunt Jiang sighed, then stood up and said with a smile, "Look at me, I just talked and disturbed grandma for half a day, now I should go back."
Su Nuannuan nodded, and ordered Honglian to send her out. After a while, Hong Lian turned back and asked her: "Grandma, what is Aunt Jiang's reason for coming here? Why doesn't this maidservant know when she and grandma are getting along like this?"
"She has a very embarrassing thing, she came to ask me for an idea." Su Nuannuan shook her head and sighed softly, and then told Honglian the matter, only to hear Honglian's eyes widen, and then Fang said angrily: Aunt Jiang said that the mastermind behind all this was actually Grandma Lan? Oh my God, it’s unbelievable. Grandma Lan is usually weak and kind. Who would have thought that she would have such deep scheming and viciousness? This really knows everyone. I don't know."
He paused at this point, and then said in a deep voice: "But all of this is Aunt Jiang's conjecture, so she can't be sure. Grandma's idea of letting her move away was reckless. This servant knows your thoughts. This Spring Breeze The place is big, so it's nothing to take in their mother and child, and she's old and fading, so it's impossible for the master to take care of her anymore. But grandma, as the saying goes, you must have the heart of harming others, and you must have the heart of defense. , how do you know that she is sincerely relying on you? What if she was bewitched by Grandma Yun and ran over to use bitter tricks to become a spy? I don't believe it. Got it? There is also Grandma Lan, that is really unexpected, how could she deduce that Grandma Lan is the person behind the scenes? What if she wants to move here to stir up discord? She has been with Grandma Yun for ten years. After several years of being loyal to each other, how could it be so easy to turn against each other?"
