Chapter 5 Avoiding Disaster

That night, she waited until dusk before her mother came back from her uncle.

She hurriedly went up to help her mother change clothes: "What do you say, uncle?" There was a bit of expectation between her eyebrows.

"We are a family after all." The mother took off her trousers and changed into a silk shirt. "Your uncle has sent someone to call Zuo Junjie. The maids, daughters-in-law, and your aunt will also help with restraints and will not let them talk nonsense. You can rest assured to stay in Biyun Temple for some time to relax."

How can you stop rumors like the wind?

But the elders at home are willing to come forward, so this matter should be over soon!

She went back to the house.

The eldest maids Yitong and Yuwei were sitting in the main hall doing needlework. A few little maids were gathering around them, either helping to divide the threads or pull the threads, chattering and making the threads, which was very lively.

When he saw her coming in, he smiled and saluted her.

She looked at the familiar faces in front of her and felt a chill in her heart when she thought of the bellyband her mother threw to her.

My mother once taught her that her husband would be indifferent to her for the sake of her family. Only these people around her live by relying on her, and they would share life and death with honor and disgrace. As long as they are used well, they are the most loyal and caring.

She thought she was very kind to them and couldn't think of a reason for them to betray her.

I tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep.

On night, Yi Tong came over with a dress and moved the lights: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Under the light, Yitong's eyes were filled with concern.

She still remembers that she asked Yitong a few days ago if she was willing to go to Nanjing with her.

Yitong lowered her head shyly: "I want to stay in Huayin!"

She asked her with a smile: "Who is that person? I will definitely make decisions for you before I leave, so that you will not be happy."

Yitong smiled embarrassedly: "Miss doesn't know her, she is a person outside. My parents have agreed. I'm just waiting for the fifth wife!"

Is it Yitong?

Betrayed her for a man!

She quickly denied it.

It cannot be Yitong.

Yitong served in her house at the age of seven. The two grew up together, both servants and friends, and even the keys to her warehouse were kept by Yitong. This is the person she trusted the most. If she could not even trust Yitong, who could trust her?

Or is it rainy?

Yuwei's family has a father who is addicted to alcohol and gambling. Even Yuwei's mother was sold for money. After Yuwei's second-class maid got a monthly bill, she often came to her for money. Once Yuwei refused to give it to her and threatened to sell Yuwei's younger brother.

Betrayed her for money!

She quickly denied it.

It could not be rainy.

Yuwei will go to Nanjing with her.

If you are lucky, Yu Wei will be taken into the house or even be carried into a concubine. In the worst case, she will be a housekeeper.

How much does it cost to get Yuwei to give up his original intention of going to Nanjing?

Or breaking willows? Cutting rain?

As soon as the thought came, she shook her head fiercely.

What's wrong with her?

It depends on whoever has a problem.

She is full of weapons, but she is afraid that she will drive herself crazy before she finds the person who is in the back and outside.

Her strangeness made Yitong worry: "Miss, why don't you read a few pages of "The Garden Maid" to you?"

"Garden Pastoral" is a book about creating gardens.

She was going to marry into Jiangnan and made a special trip to find her from her father's study, afraid that she would not understand the arrangement of Jiangnan gardens and would make a joke.

But today, under the dim light, what she had longed for yesterday became bitter.

"No need!" She turned her back to Yitong, "Go to bed quickly. She will go to Biyun Temple tomorrow morning."

Yitong never disobeyed her. She replied in a gentle voice and carefully helped her put down the tent.

She opened her eyes, looked at the dim sky, then got up and changed her clothes, and went to Biyun Temple with her mother.

Biyun Temple is fifty miles away from the city and is built at the foot of Qixia Mountain. It is surrounded by ancient trees and is surrounded by distant mountains. The scenery is beautiful. It is a good place to escape the summer heat. Master Guohui, the temple master, is over 50 years old. He is kind-hearted and kind-hearted. He heard that she was suffering from heatstroke and sent homemade Liuhua soup. He knew that she was going to live in the temple for a few days. He sent two little nuns to help them clean up and clean them. He also came to see her from time to time, talked to her about Buddhist scriptures and doctrines. As for the two little maids Lue E and Han Yan, they were honored to be selected among the people to stay in the Anyun Temple and serve her carefully, for fear of some inconsiderate places.

This kind of life should be leisurely and comfortable.

But she always thought about that, restless, unable to sleep at night, and occasionally took a nap, all of whom were standing alone among a group of men and women, young and old, being scolded, accused, and even a nightmare of being thrown by stones.

After only five or six days of such a life, she lost a lot of weight.

Bibo's family was anxious and told her about it.

She was still patient at first, but later she became a little annoyed: "Mom has this skill, why don't you help me go back and inquire about the family matters."

Unexpectedly, the Bibo family thought about it and agreed very much: "Then I will go back quietly to take a look!"

She became a little panicked: "If someone finds it..."

"Miss Nine, don't worry." Bibo's family smiled, "I didn't go into the mansion, I just changed into coarse clothes and walked around the city to see if there were any gossips and then came back."

She praised Bibo's family for their proper work.

The Bibo family said to Master Guohui, and used the excuse to go back to the house to report her condition to her mother, and left the temple early in the morning and entered the city.

At night, he came back with a smile on his face: "Miss Jiu, the city is calm." He couldn't help but feel joy in his heart and whispered, "I accidentally met Xiuzhu's family and asked her to bring a message to Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu said that she will send someone to see you in a few days. Then I will tell us carefully."

Xiuzhu's family is another manager who is trusted by his mother.

She was overjoyed and finally fell asleep peacefully.

In just two days, Xiuzhu's family came.

"These medicinal materials are used to clear heat and cool down, or to regulate qi and blood. The usage is written on it." She smiled and handed over a blue coarse cloth bag, dispelling the green eels and cold smoke, and said concisely, "The big grandma is sick, and Mrs. Zuo is anxious and stays in our mansion to ask about your well-being. The maid in your house suddenly breaks willows and sometimes gets hot and cold. She finds a few doctors to see it, and even Yitong, Yuwei, and a few cut grass are starting to feel uncomfortable. Most of them are sick. The lady moved them to the farm outside the city, and invited Taoist priests from Jiuxian Temple and monks from Poyun Temple to do rituals. Listening to the famous doctor Ma Boju, he sprinkled nitro powder at the place where you live. When I came, the lady asked me to bring you a message, so that you can stay here for some time and wait for the smell of nitro powder to go back."

She was both surprised and delighted.

What was shocked was that my mother didn't find out even if she came forward. Several capable maids in her room were involved. What was happy was that my uncle finally stopped Zuo Junjie, and the eldest lady also came forward, and she looked like she was protecting her...

"Then have you found out who it is?" she asked anxiously.

"The fifth wife didn't say anything. I don't know either."

As the Xiuzhu family said, Han Yan came in.

"All things are packed, and the vegetarian dishes from the temple are also delivered."

The two maids don’t know why she came to Biyun Temple.

Xiuzhu's family immediately stopped the topic.

She asked Bibo's family to accompany Xiuzhu's family to have dinner, and sat by the window and looked at the silver willows outside the window and became stunned.

The Bibo family sent away the Xiuzhu family and comforted her softly: "Miss, since the great lady has intervened, we will be able to go back soon!"

"You don't have to coax me." She stared out the window, "I have been learning the butler by my mother for three or four years, and I understand some things. I can't find out anything and have to be tortured; or I cover each other and can't continue to investigate... No matter why, I feel very uncomfortable..." She tears in her eyes.

Bibo’s family doesn’t know what to say.

After a while, he murmured: "I'll know when the Xiuzhu family comes next time!"

But what they didn't expect was that Xiuzhu's family had never been here again.

Not only did Xiuzhu’s family never come, but Bibo’s family was also replaced by Chen’s mother.

"There is something important to the fifth wife and Bibo family to help you with it. Miss Jiu must not be left alone for a day." Chen, who usually meets her respectful mother, bows to her with a slight smile, and there are seven or eight big and thick mothers following her. "Mrs. Grandma, let me come and serve Miss Jiu for a while!"

Mother Chen is the most capable person around my aunt, equivalent to the Bibo family's mother and Mother Li's mother to her grandmother.

She felt something was wrong.

It is not a glorious thing to come to Biyun Temple by yourself. The fewer people know, the better. Why did so many people send? Even if my mother has something to do, she wants the Bibo family to go back, but if she invites her grandmother to send Mother Li, why should she send Mother Chen? Let the eldest wife interfere in the fifth room. Moreover, the people who came with Mother Chen are all powerful and have a very good face. She looks very ordinary and rough-minded, and she doesn't often walk around the inner house.

Something happened at home!

And the situation was very unfavorable to her and her mother.

She quickly realized the seriousness of the situation, straightened her back, raised her jaw slightly, and stared at Chen's mother with a condescending look, hoping to suppress Chen's mother in an aura: "I have a master in the temple and two little maids here, so I won't bother Chen's mother."

"Miss Nine, this is not very good!" Although Chen's mother smiled, she did not have the respect of the servant. "If the lady knows, I should blame me for being ineffective." After saying that, she winked at a horse-faced woman next to her.

Two mothers immediately stood up to Bibo's house.

Her face changed drastically.

"Miss Nine!" Bibo's family looked at her and signaled not to get angry. Mother Chen was a big crowd and not to suffer a loss in front of her. "Since there is something wrong with the fifth wife, I'll go back first." He said with a pun, "Calculate the day, Master Five should have received the letter from the fifth wife. Please wait for some time."

Mother Chen didn't say anything and took a few steps back.

She watched the Bibo family be pushed away from Biyun Temple by two mothers.
