The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

"The sun is coming in."

The house Zhao lives in seems to be very spacious, but in the afternoon, the scorching sun shines directly into the house, and she has no moon shadow veil to block the sun, and there is not much ice in the house, so every afternoon Eat a few bowls of mung bean soup to relieve the heat.

"It's nothing." Mrs. Zhao shook her head, "What's in your hand?"

"It's the green gauze that the eldest lady ordered." Su Jin explained, "Recently, the sun has been very bad, so the eldest lady suggested to the old lady that it would be better to hang green gauze on the windows of every house to keep out the sun. , and there is no need to be afraid that the people in the house will get bored in the house. This green gauze is not expensive, so the old lady agreed."

It's the eldest lady again... Mrs. Zhao took a spoonful of iced mung bean soup and said, "The eldest lady is very considerate."

"That's right, the eldest wife has a good appearance, a good background, and a good housekeeper. It's just that she is a little weaker, but it's better to take care of her." Su Jin looked at Mrs. Zhao with her head down in thought, with an inexplicable expression on her face. With a clear smile, "If you want to tell me, it's much better than the second wife."

"Don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Zhao raised her eyes and glanced at Su Jin, "Tell the second wife to shed all your skin when she hears it."

"Yes, I know I'm wrong." Su Jin stuck out her tongue, and seeing that Mrs. Zhao had listened to what she said, she called a few sweeping women in the yard to help hang up the green gauze.

The light in the room became soft in an instant, Mrs. Zhao held the porcelain spoon and remained silent.

The Tenth Conspiracy Reveals Rong's Death

Although Rong's small plan was found out, as long as she didn't do anything for a day, Xu Hui would have no chance to dispose of her.I don't know if Rong realized that her cousin hadn't shown up for several days, so she restrained herself or for some other reason. She just came to pay her respects obediently these days, but the bracelet she often wore on her hand was gone.

"The bracelet was put away by Aunt Rong and locked in the dowry, and the servant girl can't take it out for the time being." The girl Haitang next to Rong was arranged by Xu Hui. When Rong was not paying attention, Xu Hui took Haitang I found it and asked carefully, "Aunt Rong also carried the key close to her body, and did not give it to the people around her. The servant secretly had someone forge one while Aunt Rong was not paying attention."

"She didn't dispose of that silver bracelet?" Xu Hui didn't know whether to say that Mrs. Rong knew how to advance or retreat or didn't know how to give up. She even kept the bracelet filled with medicine.

"No, this servant has been paying attention these days, and the dowry has not been opened." Haitang said, "Although Aunt Rong has been talking about Chunxi for the past two days, she doesn't seem to have noticed anything." Chunxi is Rong's cousin.

"If that's the case, help me continue to watch her, and find a way to get that bracelet out for me." Xu Hui thought for a while, then said, "Her bracelet is assigned by the mansion. Make Thrush give you an identical replacement."

"Yes."

"From this point of view, Mrs. Rong didn't give up, but she felt that there was no opportunity for me to take advantage of, so she postponed her plan." Xu Hui said, "Jinxiu, how are you talking with Sujin? "

"Everything is normal at Su Jin's place. The second master has already known about Aunt Zhao's situation. Although he didn't say anything about the second wife, the second master is staying with Aunt Zhao these days." Jinxiu replied, "Su Jin said Will keep an eye out for my wife."

"That's good." Su Jin's nail was arranged by Xu Hui to enter Xikuayuan when she was the housekeeper. She didn't expect it to be used so soon. You're welcome. "I plan to tell the master about Rong's matter. After all, he is also a person who is appreciated by the old lady, and the master also liked it in the past."

"It's good for the madam to let me know." Li Mama said, "But Mrs. Rong has such evil intentions, even the old lady may not find an excuse to keep her in the mansion."

That night, when Jia Amnesty came back for dinner, Xu Hui asked Haitang to take out the bracelet containing the secret medicine, explaining all the investigations that Nanny Li had done these days, and what Haitang said to Chunxi who was locked up. , Jia She's complexion gradually became serious.Xu Hui finally said: "Mr. Rong looks good, but her heart is vicious. How do you think the master should deal with it?"

Jia Amnesty's eldest son passed away early, seeing that his younger brother already had a son and daughter under his knees, it's no wonder he wasn't in a hurry.Rong's daring to prescribe medicine to Xu Hui so that she can no longer bear children, wouldn't that mean breaking his fate as a legitimate son?Jia Amnesty narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Rong Shikong has good looks, and he would never come up with such a scheme, is there someone else involved?"

Xu Hui couldn't help but lament Jia She's shrewdness, but she couldn't find conclusive evidence in the end, so she could only vaguely say: "In addition to Rong and Chunxi, there is also a woman from Xikuayuan who is involved..."

West across the courtyard?Jia She snorted: "It seems that our old brother did it."

"There is no definite evidence for the time being, so I don't want to make a conclusion for the time being." Xu Hui actually wanted to say that she thought it was Wang's meaning, but seeing Jia She's face was gloomy, she obediently stopped the topic, "Where is Xikuayuan going?" We can't control it now, but Mrs. Rong..."

"Since she wants to plot against the mistress, such a vicious person cannot be kept." Jia Amnesty grew up next to Jia Daishan's mother in the past, and is also familiar with the fights in the back house.People like them can't spread the news of beating a servant to death casually, but there are still many ways to kill a person.Jia She stroked the emerald ring on his thumb, "Recently, the weather has been abnormal. Rong's body is delicate, and it's normal to get sick. After a few months, when everyone stops looking at her, let her directly It will be fine if she dies." The implication was that she was going to take her life.

The first time Xu Hui faced the sudden decision of life and death like this, she also felt compassion in her heart. She just wanted to speak, but she was touched on the back by Nanny Li, and finally she did not open her mouth to intercede.

Jia Min watched Xu Hui embroider a chicken heart sachet stitch by stitch. After a long time, she pouted and said, "Sister-in-law's embroidery is really good, give me this sachet."

"You little ghost, you sneaked here today, and you still want something from me." Xu Hui took the scissors and cut off the last silk thread, "This is for the old lady, the third day of August is the old lady's birthday, we Although it can’t be a big deal, you have to talk about it.”

Speaking of this matter, Jia Min's eyes dimmed a lot. Jia Daishan held this old woman in pain so much that he was afraid that she would be wronged by her in his hands. He suddenly lost his loving father, Jia Min Even now it is very uncomfortable.But she quickly calmed down and said: "I also prepared a Buddhist scripture embroidered by myself for my mother."

"Buddhist scriptures are rare, so you have to be careful of your own body." Jia Min's weak body was known to the whole family, and he was served every day with ginseng chicken soup, rock sugar, blood and swallow soup, but he didn't see any flesh.Seeing that she was wearing a light green silk dress today, her palm-sized face was unpainted and completely devoid of color, which made Xu Hui feel a little worried.

"I'm fine, I'm taking the medicine prepared by the mansion every day." Jia Min didn't care, "And Madam Wei also helped me with that Buddhist scripture, I didn't embroider it all by myself."

"Then I'm relieved." Xu Hui said.

"Ma'am," Jinxiu just walked in, saw Jia Min here, hesitated and said, "Auntie Rong has news that she is ill."

Seeing that August is about to enter, the weather is still astonishingly hot. Recently, several people in the mansion have suffered from fever because of this, but they are all sweeping women.Hearing that Mrs. Rong fell ill, Xu Hui had a slight struggle on her face, but she quickly said, "Go ask a doctor to show her."

"Yes." Jinxiu finished speaking, glanced at Jia Min and backed out.

"Aunt Rong? Is that the one who was grounded by the sister-in-law before?" Jia Min asked.

"That's right." The matter of Rong's family is not a secret in the mansion, Xu Hui did not hide it, "She is weak, and she was ill at this time last year."

"I heard from my mother that she was disrespectful to the elder sister-in-law, and the elder sister-in-law was so virtuous to her, which was much better than the second sister-in-law." Jia Min snorted and said, "I heard that the second brother quarreled with the second sister-in-law because the second sister-in-law was mean to my aunt. frame."

Therefore, there is really no impenetrable wall in Rongguo Mansion. Even Jia Min, an unmarried daughter's family, can inquire about such things, which is really unsafe.Xu Hui reached out her hand and nodded her head, saying: "Don't talk nonsense about this, after all, it's about the second master's back house. If the old lady hears it, she will talk about you no matter how much she loves you."

"I know, I told my sister-in-law." Jia Min said with a smile.

Seeing her so innocent and innocent, Xu Hui could hardly imagine that she would die of illness early in the future and leave behind an orphan girl.She sighed silently, but shook her head slightly when she looked at Jia Min's caring eyes.

Not long after Jia Mu's birthday passed, Rong became more and more terminally ill.Her body went from good to bad, and even the doctor couldn't diagnose what disease she was suffering from.Mother Jia was worried about some kind of epidemic, so she asked people to move Mrs. Rong out of the mansion after winter came. By December, the news of Mrs. Rong's death outside the mansion could no longer cause any ripples.

The author has something to say: Jinjiang is so hot, I can't reply to comments for the time being, sorry.
