Chapter 29 Panic
Author: Loeva
Although Mrs. He didn't know why her parents-in-law called her over, she also knew that she couldn't refuse, so she repackaged her clothes and then led Sister-in-law Taisheng and Jin Huan out of the west wing.
Their destination was the main room of the upper courtyard. Originally, Mr. Qin planned to resolve the matter in the middle courtyard because Wu Shaoying, a foreigner, was present, but Niu's symptoms of dizziness were still there and he could not get up, and he did not want to miss the interrogation of his second daughter-in-law.
Given the opportunity, Mr. Qin had no choice but to invite people to the main room of the upper courtyard. Mrs. Niu listened in the bedroom, separated by a wall, which was convenient.
When He's master and servant came to the courtyard, they saw the courtyard door wide open, and the middle courtyard below was a little messy. There seemed to be many people standing there. He just glanced at it casually and didn't take it to heart. Sister-in-law Taisheng
After a second glance, the person froze there.
Why are Twee's parents here? Aren't they dead long ago?!
Sister-in-law Taisheng's face changed. She remembered clearly that when Cui'er's family was tricked by her into leaving the village, the person responsible for leading them received a secret order from the second mistress He to silence them. Then
They brought several people over from Datong, and they were the confidants of Uncle He. Uncle He sent a pair of children back to Datong for his sister He, and took half of them with them. The remaining three or two people lived in rented houses in the county town.
In the small courtyard.
Because their master and servant were not familiar with the place in Mizhi County, and they wanted to do such a shameful thing, they couldn't let the news leak out, so they let these people go. Apparently they had sent a message early yesterday morning,
It was said that they had succeeded, but how come Twee'er's family of three are still alive now?!
Sister-in-law Taisheng's face turned white and blue in turns, but Mr. He didn't notice anything strange about her. Her attention was focused on Qin Hanzhen who came out of the east wing.
Qin Hanzhen had already freshened up, drank some hot porridge, and wanted to go to the main room. Zhang Ma couldn't resist her, so she had to carry her out, and met Mr. He head-on.
This is the first time Qin Hanzhen has seen Mr. He. After so many days here, Mr. He has been living in the west wing and never shows up, so she has no chance to see this so-called second aunt. Today they met.
Qin Hanzhen looked at the other party carefully.
He is only in her twenties, but she is very beautiful. She has an oval face, willow eyebrows, and a small cherry mouth. She is a very traditional classical lady. Her skin is white and smooth, as tender as a shelled egg, and her hair is combed
It is made into a Japanese-style bun with two branches inserted sideways and inlaid with pearls.
Wearing a flower-shaped silver hairpin, pearl earrings, a pea green silk jacket, and an ivory white embroidered horse-faced skirt, she looked elegant. Sure enough, she was able to charm her second uncle Qin An and make him ignore his parents.
Although she was opposed to marrying as a wife, He was still a very charming woman.
However, no matter how attractive this woman is, no matter how well she dresses and has the wrong expression, her temperament will still be compromised.
Mrs. He looked at Qin Hanzhen looking at her, with a faint smile on her face, with a bit of arrogance and disdain in her expression: "Sister Sang, how wonderful is this? You look much better than before. It's a pity that your mother couldn't
See. Alas, sister-in-law is not lucky, why did she just go like this?" She sighed longly before turning her eyes back to Qin Hanzhen, "Why didn't Sister Sang say anything? I met the second aunt.
, and you don’t even say hello politely?”
Zhang's mother was a little angry. After hearing her words, she began to hesitate. She didn't know if she should put down Qin Hanzhen and let her salute. However, Qin Hanzhen looked away and said to Zhang's mother expressionlessly: "Ignore her."
, let’s go in.” Zhang Ma paused and then obeyed.
He Shi never expected that Qin Hanzhen would actually shame her in front of so many people. She was stunned for a moment, and immediately sneered: "Our Qin family is now considered a family of officials. How can the girls in the family be well-educated?"
What about village girls? If we don’t learn the rules that we should learn, if outsiders see us, they will make fun of our family for being rude."
Qin Hanzhen had already entered the main room and went down to the floor to salute his grandfather Mr. Qin who was sitting in the main seat and his cousin who was sitting beside him. Mr. Qin gave his granddaughter an appreciative look and listened to his second daughter-in-law outside the door.
He said some unintelligible words and snorted coldly.
Hearing this cold snort, Mrs. He calmed down her expression and secretly screamed bad luck. She glanced at the maids and women beside her and motioned for them to lift the curtain for her, but she saw Taisheng's sister-in-law and Jin Huan whispering, not knowing what they were saying.
something.
She looked a little ugly, frowned and called out "Jin Huan". Jin Huan looked over as if he was frightened, which made her frown even more: "What do you look like?"
Jin Huan's eyes flickered and she lowered her head without answering. Taisheng's sister-in-law waved her hand, and she ran away in a hurry, looking at the direction of the middle courtyard. He felt confused, why did her personal maid run away? She was about to shout loudly.
After calling the person to a stop, Taisheng's sister-in-law desperately grabbed her sleeve corner, whispered in her ear: "Tui'er's parents are not dead, they are in the yard below!"
Mrs. He was startled, glared at Taisheng's sister-in-law, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?! Didn't I send a letter yesterday to say..." She suddenly stopped talking, looked at the door curtain, and gritted her teeth to hold back the last half of the sentence.
, just glared at Taisheng’s sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Taisheng said with a sad face: "Grandma, you have seen Xin'er. I really don't know..."
"Useless thing!" Mrs. He was extremely angry. However, she thought that only Cui'er knew the secret. Her parents may not know the inside story. As long as Cui'er was not around, it would be fine. She calmed down again and stared at the door curtain, knowing what was coming next.
It was a difficult test, but she was confident that she could get through it!
But Taisheng's sister-in-law's face was as pale as a dead person: "There's also that flower seller...it seems she's down there..."
"What did you say?!" Mr. He turned his head suddenly to look at her, almost twisting his neck, and his eyes were about to burst into flames when he stared at Taisheng's sister-in-law.
How could such a flaw happen?!
Their master and servant were still in panic outside the door. Inside the room, Qin Hanzhen had climbed onto Niu's Kang and sat down upright.
Mrs. Niu put on the clothes for visiting guests, but she still couldn't sit up. Just now she heard Aunt Hu give a brief report to the county town and learned that the second daughter-in-law had framed the eldest daughter-in-law, and she almost fainted on the spot. Although she
I managed to hold on, but the symptoms of dizziness seemed to be getting worse. I couldn't even sit up. I could only lean on the pillow, breathing heavily, grabbing the quilt with both hands, wanting to tear it up as if it were He's.
When Qin Hanzhen came to her side, she comforted her granddaughter with red eyes and said: "Good boy, don't worry, I will give your mother justice today! Such a vicious woman can no longer stay in our home!"
Qin Hanzhen nodded solemnly: "I don't want to call her second aunt anymore. She still has the nerve to say that I am ungrateful. The word 'property' comes out of her mouth and it insults the word 'property'!"
"That's right!" Niu nodded angrily.
Aunt Tiger whispered: "Take care, madam, and don't get angry. It's not worth it to make yourself angry for such a person."
"I know, I can hold on. You go ahead." Niu waved his hand.
Aunt Tiger sighed and asked Ma Zhang: "Serve my dear wife and sister." Ma Zhang quickly agreed. Aunt Tiger went out of the room and said to Mr. Qin: "Sir, did I invite the Second Mistress to come in?
"Mr. Qin nodded slightly, and she opened the door curtain.
Mrs. He was panic-stricken when she suddenly saw the door curtain lifted and Grandma Tiger's face revealed behind the door. She knew that she could no longer escape, so she could only grit her teeth and walk in.
Taisheng's sister-in-law saw that the situation was not good, and thought that with He's son by her side and her husband's protection, everything would be fine. However, being a servant might not end well for him, and with He's personality, she would not risk her life to protect him.
I thought it was better to walk away, so I turned around and wanted to leave, but Grandma Hu held her hand: "Why are you running? Your second grandma has entered the house, why don't you follow her and wait for her?" She pulled her away.
Entered the house.
Sister-in-law Taisheng stepped up to the threshold, staggered, and almost bumped into someone. After finally regaining her balance, she realized that the person kneeling at her feet was actually Tweety. She thought that Tweety was not in the yard below because she had been successfully eliminated.
She didn't expect the silence operation to completely fail. She was so angry that she almost bit her tongue. Why did those useless idiots send letters to deceive the second mistress and her?!
Cui'er knelt on the ground, turning her head and glaring at her hatefully, as if she would jump up and bite her to death at any moment. Sister-in-law Taisheng was so afraid that she couldn't help but hide aside, and bumped into Mr. He again. Mr. He seemed to have no feeling at all.
Just the same, he just stared at Cui'er blankly, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
As soon as He saw Cui'er in the room, she knew that something was really not going well today. She looked up at Mr. Qin and Wu Shaoying sitting next to her, and the ominous premonition in her heart became even stronger.
She forced a smile: "Master, I have called my wife here, what are your instructions? Why is Cui'er here? Wasn't she kicked out for stealing the master's property? Master, this kind of talkative person is so arrogant.
This unclean and dishonest slave should be beaten out, why did you call her back again?"
Cui Er glared at her angrily.
Mr. Qin said calmly: "Of course I have my reasons for asking her to come back. You don't need to ask more, just stand there and listen carefully for a while. After listening, you will have time to speak."
He's heart sank, but she was still a little unwilling. She forced a smile and said: "My daughter-in-law doesn't understand what the master means. If the master has any instructions, just ask the wife to tell the daughter-in-law. Why do you let the daughter-in-law come to see the outside man? A housewife.
People should not meet foreign men. This is a rule and etiquette. Please forgive me, my daughter-in-law. Please do not violate etiquette." After saying that, he curtsied and left.
Mr. Niu in the Nuan Pavilion couldn't bear it any longer and shouted loudly: "Your mother-in-law is here listening, your father-in-law is watching outside, what kind of rules and etiquette are you going to talk about?! You are pretending all day long, as if you are really a
You are such a lady. Don’t you look at all the immoral things you have done?! How dare you put money on yourself? The village girls outside are more polite than you!"
He's face suddenly turned red, she raised her sleeves to cover her face, and sobbed: "How could my wife slander me like this? I am the daughter of an official family, and I am knowledgeable and polite. I cannot recognize such words.
." As she said that, she was about to run out crying. Unexpectedly, Aunt Tiger had already blocked the middle of the door. She almost bumped into it. With no way out, she could only stand there and cover her face while crying.
Mrs. Niu laughed twice in the room: "Who can't pretend to cry? Do you think we will really be deceived? Who do you think our Qin family is? When you marry a daughter-in-law, you don't even check her ancestors for eight generations.
You can admit your debt if you know it clearly? What kind of daughter is a daughter of an official? You are just the daughter of a prison official! Your father embezzled tens of thousands of public funds, his house was confiscated and his position was taken away. The whole family was exiled to a border town. The whole family died, and only your brother and sister were left.
Both of you have good status that was only restored after the imperial amnesty a few years ago. You and your idle brother have done nothing and seen nothing? The beggars on the roadside are more innocent and respectable than you, so stop pretending to me!"
He immediately stopped crying and raised a shocked face.
