Chapter 140: Making a fuss out of a molehill
"It's nonsense, how can such a thing be said."
Qiuxiang hurriedly winked at Qiuyue, and she woke up. She quickly covered her mouth, nodded lightly with a white face, and finally managed to laugh for a long time: "Yes, I was probably scared out of my mind, how can a cat speak human language?"
.”
"Okay, go to sleep."
Concubine Liao suddenly spoke up. Qiuxiang Qiuyue glanced at her secretly and saw that her previous panic had disappeared. She couldn't help but wonder, but she didn't dare to say anything and agreed. This time, the two of them didn't dare to go to the outhouse.
A mattress was spread out beside the bed and we squeezed in to sleep.
The room became quiet. Concubine Liao listened for a while. No more sounds came from the window. About a quarter of an hour later, the two girls' breathing became even. However, she was lying upright on the bed, looking at the bed curtain, half sleepy.
Neither.
Could it be that child? It must have been seventeen or eighteen years ago, right? So many years have passed, and not even a trace of what happened back then has been left. Why do you suddenly think of the trouble tonight? Could it be that someone is up to something?
Thinking of this, Concubine Liao sat up with a sigh, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was impossible.
No one knew about that old incident, otherwise there would have been no splash for so many years, and there were only a few old people left in those days. Apart from his confidants, there was only the Qin family, and the Qin family obviously didn't know the truth, otherwise
How could she not go and cry before the late king?
If not the Qin family, who else could it be? With all the people in this house together, if anyone dares to play tricks on this matter, it seems that only the Xin family is fearless. If she knows that I ordered Lu Ye to harm her child,
It makes sense to pretend to be a ghost to scare me. But...it makes sense to pretend to be a ghost to scare me, but it doesn't make sense to pretend to be that child to scare me. No one in the whole house knows that he was killed by me, even Qin Qin
If the Xin family doesn't know it, how can the Xin family know? No, it can't be her."
The more she thought about it, the more her heart sank. Concubine Liao looked out the window, and a thought suddenly arose in her mind: If it wasn't man-made, could it be that... the child was really found? But why did she come to me after so many years?
Is it because he was killed when he was just born, and he still has a lot of resentment, and it took him so many years to practice?
Either one should say that people should not do bad things. At this time, Concubine Liao felt guilty and actually closed the loopholes in this haunted incident. She was also flustered for a while, picked up the prayer beads on the pillow and twisted them in her hands, and then started to mess around.
After reciting a few verses from the scriptures, my mind slowly calmed down.
Qiuxiang Qiuyue's breathing became longer and longer, and she even snored slightly. The thick bed curtain beside her hung low, and there was no sound.
In the quiet darkness, Concubine Liao opened her eyes, then calmly placed the rosary beads on her pillow, and lay down again, thinking: She must find a reason and ask someone to perform a ritual to send away the evil. Over there, the green leaves,
We can no longer rely on those preserved eggs, they are too slow to work. Xin is a shrewd person. If she detects the clues, wouldn't it be a failure? Let the hoof find an opportunity to plant some slow poison. As long as Liu Zai and Yaya are stupid
I am completely relieved that I am disabled.
When I thought about this, I couldn't help but sigh softly and said to myself: Don't blame grandma for being cruel. If you want to blame me, just blame you for not being able to take care of the child. Whose belly is bad? You have to blame the Xin family for being your mother.
It's my fault that Mrs. Xin can't remain calm and stay in Qingliang Pavilion. She insists on coming to this backyard to camp every step of the way. In the end, she has become a serious problem. If she and you two are not removed, I will have trouble sleeping and eating.
****************
"Auntie is in a good mood this morning. I haven't seen you so relaxed for a long time."
In the dining room, Xinghua served another bowl of porridge for Xin Nian. While talking, she couldn't help but glance at the green leaves behind Liu Zai Yaya. She thought: This is a poisonous snake, but my aunt didn't want to scare the snake away.
In this way, you finally let her leave the young master and the girl. I don’t know what the aunt thinks. It’s really worrying.
Xin Nian didn't seem to notice Xinghua's worry, and said calmly: "What's there to relax about? I see that Liu Zai still doesn't like to talk today. You don't even know that I'm worried. But sorrow can be brought back with tears.
Just washing your face will help? After all, you have to cheer up. I am a mother and I have to protect Liu Zai and help him tide over the difficulties, otherwise who can help him."
"Auntie is right." Xinghua felt a little relieved when she heard this. Then she saw Xin Nian put a salted egg yolk for each of the three children, and said softly: "Liu Zai, Yaya, Brother Feng, you guys
Eat this, it’s delicious.”
After saying that, he raised his head and said to Luye: "I asked you to ask the Tai Hospital, and they said that it is not good for the children to eat too many preserved eggs. How did you know that the six boys are like this now, and they are not eating preserved eggs? In the future, except for New Year's Day, they are not allowed to eat them.
Eat again."
"ah?"
Luye had just received a heavy reward, and his mind was full of meritorious deeds. However, Xin Nian suddenly refused to use this trick. His first subconscious reaction was not to be afraid, but to argue: "But the Sixth Young Master and the Fourth Young Lady like to eat very much.
Besides, it’s just a few eggs, what can I do? I’ve never heard of anyone’s child getting bad after eating eggs..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xin Nian's face, which had been warm in the spring breeze just now, suddenly darkened. He put his chopsticks down on the table with a "pop" and said in a deep voice: "Is this something big? You and I are here
This is a mouthful. Is it true that the imperial doctor who asked me personally is not as reasonable as you, an illiterate girl? Is it because I have been lazy these days, and you consider me that weak master who has a good temper and can be pinched? If the girl and mother-in-law are
We are all as unruly as you, what else do you want me to do in Qingliangyuan? You might as well make the decision."
"Auntie, please calm down. It's the lard that has blinded my heart. I was confused for a moment. I deserve a beating."
Luye then remembered Xin Nian's former majesty and hurriedly knelt down. Then he thought about what he had done. He was told that he was going to be beaten to death, so he immediately put aside his desire to make meritorious deeds and couldn't help but kowtow to admit his mistake.
Liu Zai and Yaya had a deep relationship with Luye. When they saw her crying like this, they immediately stopped eating. They jumped off the chair and grabbed the corners of Xin Nian's clothes to plead for mercy. Yaya's tears came down and she kept saying: "Goodbye, mother."
It’s Sister Luye’s fault, it’s my brother and I who are greedy, it’s none of her business, if we don’t eat again, don’t blame Sister Luye, okay?”
Xin Nian sighed, wiped away Yaya's tears, and said softly: "My baby Yaya has already asked for mercy, how can mother not agree? Okay, you and your brothers have a good meal, and go back to the room to play after dinner.
Son, my mother still wants to discuss with your father the matter of sending your brothers to school in a few days."
Only then did Yaya burst into laughter, hugging Xin Nian's thigh and said repeatedly: "Mother is the best, I know she is the best mother in the world."
