Chapter 41: Not even a young lady is as good as a young lady

Chunxiang pushed the window gently, but found that it couldn't be pushed open, so she could only pierce the window paper, stuff the opening of the sack into the window, and untie the rope.

Suddenly, all the things inside ran out and fell from the window to the ground, making a muffled sound.

Chunxiang felt the thing running out of her hand through a layer of sack. Her scalp was numb, her whole body was stiff, and she had goosebumps.

The grandma over there heard the constant muffled sound and frowned, because in the past two days, Zhang Yunhui would knock on the door or make some noise, hoping that someone would bring her food.

I thought it was Zhang Yunhui who made the noise inside again, so I didn't pay attention.

"If you say no, you can't. If you keep pestering me like this, don't blame me for telling the old lady. Your young lady will be punished then." Grandma said impatiently as she was annoyed by Spring Grass.

Chun Cao glanced at Chun Xiang and left, then lowered his head and sighed: "Well, thank you for your hard work, I won't embarrass you."

After saying that, she took the basket and left again.

After a while, a frightened scream came from the ancestral hall, which startled the grandmother outside.

"Ah ah ah, mouse, there is a mouse, help, someone, come, come quickly, help!"

Grandma frowned and said in a not too good tone: "How can there be rats in the ancestral hall? Madam, please calm down!"

The ancestral hall is the most important place for every family. It is cleaned every day in a solemn and rigorous manner. There are not even flies, so how can there be mice.

Therefore, grandma didn't believe it at all, and even thought that Zhang Yunhui was being pretentious.

Isn't it just kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days? Last year when the eldest lady just came back, she said something back to her and was punished by the master to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days. No one was seen making any fuss at that time.

She is still just a little girl.

This lady is not even as good as an eldest lady or a little girl.

No one cared about Zhang Yunhui. Except for a nun who was guarding the door, no one lived around here. Her screams were not heard at all.

Zhang Yunhui spent the whole night fighting with the rats in the ancestral hall. During this period, she banged on the door and smashed the windows, trying to be let out, but the doors and windows were locked, and she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

She could only keep screaming, and the screams made Xiao Zhu not far away feel numb.

Xin Nianyan looked at it for a while and then went back. When he went back, he saw Chunxiang Chuncao waiting at the door. Both of them looked a little embarrassed and hesitated whether to knock on the door and report to the eldest lady.

But it's so late now, and the eldest lady may have already rested.

Xin Nianyan asked Xiaozhu to go talk to them first, and after sending them back, he returned to the room.

Under the service of Xiaozhu, she quickly washed herself and fell asleep.

Zhang Yunhui was discovered the next day by servants who came into the ancestral hall to clean her. Her hair was scattered, her clothes were torn to pieces, she was dying and almost crazy.

The servants were all shocked and quickly called the others, and all the masters of the Xin family were also called over.

Xin Rouer almost fainted when she saw Zhang Yunhui being carried out.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Rou'er!"

Xin Rouer rushed over, wanting to touch Zhang Yunhui, but Zhang Yunhui was like a frightened bird, hiding in fear: "Ah ah ah, don't come here, mouse, mouse, don't come here!"

"Mother, I am Rou'er, mother." Xin Rou'er immediately covered her mouth and cried.

Xin Nianyan stood next to the old lady, covering her mouth with a look of horror, but there was no fear in her eyes.

"Oh my god, what happened to mother?"

The old lady had a sullen face: "How could there be a mouse in the ancestral hall? Come on, please go in and have a look. In addition, go ask a doctor for Madam."

The servants immediately got busy. Those who went to the ancestral hall for inspection insisted and asked the doctor's personal doctor. Zhang Yunhui was also carried back to Huilan Courtyard.

The doctor was soon called, but because Zhang Yunhui was too frightened, the doctor could not get close to her at all.

Finally, some women were asked to hold her down, and the doctor successfully took her pulse.

After half a cup of tea, the doctor took back his hand and checked the small wound on her arm again, and then frowned and said: "Madam, she was overly frightened. She seemed to have been bitten by something. It didn't look poisonous, but it still hurt."

It needs to be dealt with."

Everyone thought about Zhang Yunhui shouting about a mouse, and their brows furrowed even more.

Just when the housekeeper who brought people into the ancestral hall for inspection came back, the old lady asked with a stern face: "What's going on?"

The housekeeper said: "Old madam, some rats were indeed found in the ancestral hall, but they were all driven out."

"The ancestral hall is cleaned every day, how could there be rats?" the old lady asked angrily.

What she was angry about was not that Zhang Yunhui was scared like this, but that there were rats in such an important place as the ancestral hall. This was simply a dereliction of duty by the servants responsible for cleaning the ancestral hall!

Everyone was immediately frightened and did not dare to speak.

Xin Nianyan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Grandma, calm down, there must be some misunderstanding. Someone cleans the ancestral hall every day. It was fine before. Why are there rats today?"

The old lady frowned and thought it made sense.

Others also heard this, Xin Rouer glared at Xin Nianyan fiercely, and then said to the old lady: "Grandma, what my sister said is right, someone must want to harm my mother, grandma, you must make the decision for your mother.

"

There are only a few people in this family, and apart from the old lady, only Xin Nianyan is suspected of this.

How dare Xin Nianyan say it so blatantly!

Xin Rouer clenched her fists in anger.

Even if Xin Nianyan didn't do this today, she would still blame Xin Nianyan!

This matter is not trivial. Even though the old lady doesn't like Zhang Yunhui, she has to find out.

"Come here, bring me the servant who is responsible for cleaning the ancestral hall."

Following the old lady's majestic order, the servant responsible for cleaning the ancestral hall was brought over.

They already knew what was going on, and as soon as they came in, they quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Old madam, please spare your life, old madam, please spare your life."

"Who cleaned the ancestral hall last night? Why didn't they find any mice in the ancestral hall?" the old lady slapped the table and asked sharply.

One of the maids continued to kowtow loudly and cried out: "Old madam, I cleaned the inside and outside of the ancestral hall last night, but I didn't find any mice. I don't know how the mice got here."

"Yes, Old Madam. We clean the ancestral hall every morning, noon and evening, and we have never found a mouse. Old Madam knows this well." Another servant also said.
