Chapter 381 Witness(1/2)
"It was Mrs. Fifth who saved me, right?" Xu Wanshun asked again without caring about Aunt Chen's crying.
Aunt Chen wiped her tears with a veil and nodded, "My son, it was Mrs. Fifth who saved you. Mother Lu said later that it was Mrs. Fifth who ordered her to go to the pavilion to find you. Because she was afraid that if there was a case, Mrs. Fifth also asked her to bring a few more people and called me up, just to tell you that the princess and the third lady were going to go to the pavilion together, and there was a man in the pavilion..."
She suddenly swallowed the conversation, quietly raised her tears, and looked at Xu Wanshun's expression from behind the veil.
Just half an hour ago, when she entered Mianyun Pavilion, Xu Wanshun was lying on her head with a young man, sleeping very well.
Aunt Chen was so scared that she was almost gone, and her hands and feet were exhausted. Fortunately, Lu's mother was very useful and she handled the matter properly in a few seconds. Now she was in advance and she was afraid that Xu Wanshun would feel uncomfortable for a while.
However, the daughter's expression was extremely calm, and there was even a smile on her face.
Aunt Chen was not a person who thought too much. Seeing this, she felt relieved and continued:
"Forget it, this is a long way to say it. I'll tell you all the time. It turned out that the fifth wife heard that you went to Mianyun Pavilion, but she didn't take it seriously at first. She just met the princess and the third wife halfway through, but they said that there was a Mr. Mengxi in Mianyun Pavilion.
The fifth wife felt that something was wrong. She took care of your reputation and didn't dare to say you. She just used some reason to stop the princess and the third wife, and ordered her mother Lu to come to me quickly and go with me..."
She started crying again and said in a panic: "I was half-believing and half-doubted, but I didn't want to... I didn't want it to be true... This man is really a despicable person, pity my son..."
While crying, she hugged Xu Wanshun tightly.
The thin and weak arms did not look too strong, but they made Xu Wanshun feel pain.
She did not refuse as she had just refused, but instead snuggled in Aunt Chen's arms.
In the dim room, the curtains were hanging low, and the two women embraced each other were like still paintings, and their faint shadows were projected on the pane by the candle, as if there were or not.
The crying sound soon fell.
Several consecutive cries evacuated most of Aunt Chen's emotions.
What's more, crying requires strength.
After Aunt Chen's strength was exhausted after she found her daughter intact, she was just trying to hold on.
The arms that were holding their shoulders gradually became weak and slid downwards.
Xu Wanshun patted Aunt Chen on the back, took out her arms, and stared at the woman in front of her.
The once beautiful face has become vicissitudes and declines over the years, just like the late autumn when the three springs have passed, and like the flowers that are about to wither.
This is a face that has lost its brightness and brightness, with fine lines growing in the corners of the eyes, and the clear eyes are also taken away by tears.
However, in Xu Wanshun's opinion, Aunt Chen at this moment is very beautiful.
She raised her hand, stroked the pair of frowning and undisguised eyebrows, and smiled, "My aunt should look better when she smiles."
Aunt Chen was stunned.
Xu Wanshun quickly stopped, with a pale face, and her smile was quiet and gentle, as if nothing happened: "Okay, aunt, don't bother, don't cry. I'm fine, and Mrs. Niu didn't do anything to me."
"But that damn old man has deceived you and sweared you..." Aunt Chen's voice was blocked in her throat, and she could no longer say anything, tears were heavy and rustling.
Needless to say, this Niu Woman must have been bribed. As for the people who bought it, there are nothing more than the Zhu family and the An family.
In Aunt Chen's opinion, An's suspicion is even greater.
She left a confidant girl to guard outside Mianyun Pavilion, and saw with her own eyes that Mr. He said that the young man who was sleeping in the pavilion was her nephew, and her name was Yuan Ge'er.
"Bah, the thing that is blinded by lard, no matter what, you dare to be the girl in the palace!" Aunt Chen's eyes were red with hatred.
Not only did An's family climb to the royal palace, but she wanted her nephew to benefit from it. It would be fine, but it would be better to come to the door to propose marriage seriously, but she used this kind of dirty method.
"Bah! A dilapidated house! A naughty guy!" Aunt Chen gritted her teeth, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted.
Xu Wanshun didn't know who she was scolding and didn't ask.
Aunt Chen treated her wholeheartedly, and she knew it.
However, this aunt was really useless and a little complicated matter, so she didn't understand it clearly. Instead of asking her, it would be better to ask the fifth room.
Since the fifth house has made a move, he will never give up halfway. Xu Wanshun believes that they will give him an explanation. Ying Meizhai will definitely explain the whole story to her.
Thinking of this, she simply stopped talking about the matter of rolling ears.
"My Mama Niu's side, I just don't know." When Aunt Chen's mood gradually recovered, Xu Wan chuckled.
Aunt Chen hated Niu Pozi and immediately opened her eyes and said angrily: "This is not possible! You must not be cheaper to this old thing, I..."
"Auntie, you can't cure her." Xu Wanshun interrupted her ruthlessly, but the smile on her face was as sweet as honey. As her lips and teeth opened and closed, she expressed a cold and cruel reality:
"She family is kept in the name of the princess. Even if the aunt wants to deal with her, she has to pass the princess's qualifier first. At that time, the princess will have an excuse to ask me about Mianyun Pavilion. The aunt said, how should I go back?"
Aunt Chen's angry face instantly tense.
Xu Wanshun smiled as if nothing had happened and continued to say leisurely:
"After all, I didn't suffer any loss. It would be beneficial for me to just pass this vaguely. If it really makes a big fuss, I will definitely not be able to hide my reputation. Is it so reasonable for me?"
Aunt Chen didn't say anything, but her expression turned pale little by little.
She just wanted to deal with Niu Pozi, but she didn't expect that once Niu Pozi was moved, her daughter would be unable to be protected.
This is something she absolutely cannot tolerate.
However, if she left the cow and ignored her, she would be disgusted.
"Then...then let this old bitch stay in my yard, poking my eyes and pricking my heart every day?" Unwillingly bit her lip, Aunt Chen's eyes were red as if blood was filled with blood.
Xu Wanshun waved her hand indifferently: "I don't have to take Mom Niu to heart. She should be transferred to another place soon. My aunt will do whatever she wants in the future. Only in this way can you save me in a critical moment like today."
She raised her hand and slid her hair, slowly got up, walked leisurely to the dressing table and sat in a leisurely manner, looked into the mirror, tidied up her hair bun, moved the golden hairpin a little, and smiled at Aunt Chen in the mirror:
"To be honest, I really didn't expect my aunt to save me. With this happening, I have a hope in the future. Aunt, you must listen to me, otherwise I will be isolated and helpless in this mansion."
Ying Meizhai must be close to her, but that's all.
She understood clearly, the world is so big, and the mother is the biggest.
She used to be blind, but now she is clear and the world is open.
Aunt Chen cried again after being told by her.
She did save her good daughter.
Although she would rather not happen like this than ever.
After a while, Xu Wanshun finally comforted Aunt Chen, and then helped her to the bed to rest, and then left Fengzhuyuan.
As soon as I left the yard, I saw a woman dressed in a maid standing under the loquat tree at the end of the high wall. She looked a bit beautiful and kind-hearted.
"My maid Lianxiang is in front of the fifth wife and has seen the fourth girl." Lianxiang also saw Xu Wanshun, stepped forward and bowed to see him.
Xu Wanshun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and covered her sleeves and said, "Hey, why are you standing here? Are you waiting for me?"
"Yes, the fourth lady, I'm waiting for you." Lianxiang said slowly, and she spoke every word very lightly, but every word was clear:
"Just just now, the fourth girl took Jue Er to walk by the lake in Dongyuan. The girl accidentally sprained her foot. The fourth girl seemed to be anxious. But by chance, the maid passed by, so she helped the fourth girl to Fengzhuyuan.
Because the fourth girl was filming the wind by the lake and was a little tired, Aunt Chen asked the fourth girl to rest in Fengzhuyuan for a while. The maid called the little girl to tell our wife, and our wife said that she asked the maid to wait for the girl outside.
Just like that, the maid has been waiting for the present. Now the fourth girl thought she had rested, so the maid accompanied the fourth girl to the flower hall for tea and opera, and then asked the fourth girl to tell the maid, which maid would come to serve, and the maid went to find it together."
Within a few words, he explained Xu Wanshun's whereabouts since leaving the seat.
Xu Wanshun looked at her, but her eyes always seemed to be a little weak, and her hands that were gathered in her sleeves were trembling uncontrollably.
If she had any explanation for her place, no one would mention the matter of Mianyun Pavilion again.
She had thought about asking for red medicine before and asked her to help Zhou Quanyier, but unexpectedly, red medicine was already ahead and even found a witness for her.
Later, when someone asked Xu Wanshun where he was today, Xu Wanshun could say the above sentence, and Lianxiang would definitely testify that "it's exactly that", and Hongyao would definitely add "I know this too."
In this way, the knife hanging above the head could no longer fall.
Even though he had long been cold, Xu Wanshun was still suddenly confused when the warm wind blew on his head.
She opened her mouth, but her throat was so blocked that she couldn't even make a single note.
She had to smile apologetically at Lianxiang, and a swelling gradually emerged in her eyes.
Lianxiang seemed to have not seen it, and just smiled and said, "Miss Four, it's not too early. Is it okay for me to help you go to the front?"
If the fourth girl is happy, please tell me what you have just seen and heard. The maid’s day is short for me to come to the palace, and I love to hear it very much."
While speaking, her delicate and intelligent eyes slid gently on Xu Wanshun's face and then slid elsewhere.
Xu Wanshun understood.
Even though she couldn't figure out what role Wu Fang played.
But at least for now, the fifth room has no malicious intentions.
Lianxiang asked her about the matter in Mianyun Pavilion, which seemed to show from another level that the fifth room really had nothing to do with this.
Taking a deep breath, then gently exhaled the cold and turbid breath from the depths of the lungs. The tightness in Xu Wanshun's throat finally melted away.
Then, two dimples appeared on her cheeks.
It was a gentle and quiet smile, different from her smile at any time before, and it looked like a little bit of a big girl's demeanor.
She looked at Lianxiang with a smile and said softly: "It's good. It just so happens that the road is quite long, so I will tell you carefully what I know and see. You will be so happy."
Lianxiang responded happily, stepped forward and held Xu Wanshun's arm. The master and servant depended on each other and walked slowly...
