Chapter 16 The First Confrontation With Aunt Huang
Chapter 16 The first confrontation with Aunt Huang
Mr. Liu was startled. He held his hands and took a look: his hair was disheveled, his face was sallow and bluish-white, his eyes and face were swollen. He was confused and absent-minded. For a moment, he didn't recognize him. He asked in confusion and surprise, "Xiu'er? Is it Xiu'er?"
Girl Zhixiu? What’s wrong with you?!”
Aunt Huang was finishing her brilliant performance and was about to send Mr. Liu away, but she didn't want to cause a sudden incident and frighten her. She quickly got up and said, "Girl, why are you up? Go back and lie down."
Master Liu, the girl has been ill for a while and is a little confused. Why don't you help her back?" She turned to Mother Huang and said sternly.
Only then did Aunt Huang react. She hurriedly came up and said, "Oh my lady, you can't get up. Sir, our lady has been ill since Madam went there... Miss... hurry in with grandma..."
Come up and pull Lin Zhixiu.
As a result, Lin Zhixiu hugged Master Liu desperately, "Uncle Liu, they want to kill me. Aunt Huang and Mrs. Huang killed my mother, and they want to kill me..." As he said this, he struggled to break away from Aunt Huang, still holding Liu tightly.
An adult's arm.
Mr. Liu was shocked and his tone changed. "What did you say?!"
Aunt Huang's heart was beating wildly and she suddenly became furious: "Miss, you are sad that the doctor and his wife passed away. It is understandable, everyone is sad. But don't talk nonsense! This is before the death of the doctor and his wife! You are all
She is twelve years old, and no matter how close she is to the family, Mr. Liu is still an outsider. How inappropriate is it for you to pull her back and forth like this? Take her down quickly." She became nervous and her attitude became tougher.
Aunt Huang had something in her mind, so she quickly came up to pull her back. She was much stronger than Lin Zhixiu, and as soon as she pulled, Lin Zhixiu's body was snatched away by her. But Lin Zhixiu held Master Liu's sleeves and front tightly with both hands.
, the clothes were pulled too long and looked very unseemly.
Lin Zhixiu shouted, "Uncle Liu, help! They are trying to kill me! It's true! Help, Uncle Liu!"
The scene was so embarrassing, Master Liu suddenly became angry, "Stop it! Who dares to take her away before we understand the whole story?! You, a slave, dare to drag your master like this. It is really unreasonable to do this!? Let go!"
"Master Liu couldn't get started, so he had to scold loudly.
Aunt Huang had something in her heart, so she wouldn't let go. She didn't say anything, and came up to pull Lin Zhixiu's hand. Lin Zhixiu screamed in pain!
Mr. Liu was so angry that he trembled. "Okay...this is in front of me! How dare you do something to your young lady. Come on! Pull this bitch away from me."
Master Liu brought his subordinates and servants, and the two servants came directly over and carried Mrs. Huang aside. Mrs. Huang suddenly started to make a fuss, "Oh my God! Our master's bones are not cold yet, and you come to bully us! Master, madam... you guys
Open your eyes and take a look..." He rolled around and screamed non-stop.
Master Liu stood there, embarrassed and annoyed.
Aunt Huang also stood there and said solemnly, "Master Liu, my master and his wife passed away. There is no one in charge of the family. They are all orphans and widowers... Although Master Liu is an official and a friend of yours, he did not put his hand in it."
What's the truth about the Lin family's back house? It's really too much of a deception for you to do something in front of the master and his wife!" Her face was pale and shaky, and she burst into tears.
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. He looked around and didn't know what to do.
Mr. Liu's face was gloomy and he didn't speak.
Aunt Huang then cried and cried, "As I said, the eldest master of the Lin family will be here in two days! If you have anything to say, just ask our eldest master directly. You are here to embarrass us orphans and widows... Sir... Madam...
..." She suddenly fell to her knees on the ground, sobbing so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Lin Zhixiu screamed, "Widow?! What kind of widow are you? You are just a concubine! I am the third daughter of the Lin family! I am the eldest daughter of my parents. I have the right to speak, but you do not have the right to speak.
Son!"
Aunt Huang secretly resented: If I had known this, this girl should have been eliminated.
Mr. Liu finally came to his senses, "Zhixiu is right! Tie this woman up first! How dare she fight against the master!"
Lin Feng hurried forward, "Uncle Liu, this is a misunderstanding! My sister has been keeping vigil for her parents these past few days, without eating or drinking, and she feels sad. You also know that when my father and mother were alive, they loved my sister the most. In grief, my sister thought about something.
It's true. Don't worry about my aunt, we are not having a good time these days." He felt a little scared in his heart. Too many things happened at home recently, and others were also confused.
Although he didn't know what his aunt had done, he knew that privately, his aunt did not look so sad on the outside, but rather relaxed. But if she had done something... he couldn't help but feel despair.
Lin Zhixiu shouted, "Uncle Liu, it was Aunt Huang and Aunt Huang who teamed up to poison my mother to death. Let someone from the Yamen come and do an examination to find out."
Aunt Huang was crying on her face, but she was secretly observing what was going on here. She was very smart, and after hearing this, she knew that it would be hard to do anything good. So she said to Lin Zhixiu sadly, "Miss, my lord passed away because of an injury to my boss."
As a result, it has been reported to the court. Madam and your Excellency were in love with each other. They have been married for so many years and have never blushed. All the family members, including Mr. Liu, have seen this. Your Excellency passed away suddenly, and Madam was deeply saddened for a moment.
I couldn't think about it, so I committed suicide."
Master Liu was shocked. Did Mrs. Lin really die abnormally?
Mrs. Huang's face turned pale. How dare this bitch say that?!
Aunt Huang said sadly, "Such a thing is understandable, but it is not honorable! It will not be of any benefit to the future of the young master and the young lady. Therefore, I did not dare to tell anyone rashly. I just wanted to wait for the Lin family."
Come, tell me the whole story, everything is up to the master. Mr. Liu, I also hope that for the sake of my family, you can save some dignity for the Lin family! The Lin family is not an insignificant family in the capital. My aunt's girl
, she is still a concubine in the palace. Now that the matter has come to this, of course we cannot talk nonsense, otherwise what good will it do to the Lin family? What good will it do to you, Miss Third?"
She looked at Lin Zhixiu with some hatred for steel.
When Master Liu heard this, he realized that this was true...he hesitated a little and looked at Lin Zhixiu.
Lin Zhixiu's eyes were red, "Uncle Liu, my mother only gave birth to a daughter of mine, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the apple of her eye. It is certain that my mother was sad when her father passed away suddenly, but how could she commit suicide? How could she abandon her?
I don’t care about my precious daughter? She followed her father, so who should I hand over to? To you, my concubine?” She shouted at Aunt Huang.
However, Aunt Huang ignored her and only said to Master Liu, "Master Liu, it was decided between me and Aunt Huang to hide this matter. Whether it is suitable or not will have to be judged by people from the capital. At that time, Master Liu can find out whether it is suitable or not."
The eldest master of the Lin family, please discuss this matter. Whether to investigate to the end or cover up the past is decided by the Lin family in the capital. I have no rights!"
I have to say that Aunt Huang is a powerful person, every word she speaks makes sense, and her attitude is neither humble nor arrogant. Normally, I really underestimate her.
Mr. Liu hesitated again and looked at Lin Zhixiu without saying anything. How many wealthy families don't have such private matters? Covering up is sometimes the only solution.
Lin Zhixiu shouted, "My mother didn't commit suicide at all, but you killed her! It was you..."
"Is the eldest lady really losing her mind and going crazy!?" Aunt Huang said for a long time. As soon as she saw Master Liu's expression was a little relaxed, this dead girl started to pester her again.
"Where is my father's housekeeper?! Let me ask you where is Lin Jianfu and his family!" Lin Zhixiu asked.
Aunt Huang's face turned red and she was sweating. She must have been fooled by what she just said, so she had to grit her teeth and say, "Housekeeper Lin fled with his wealth after the death of the Lord. These concubines have no control over everything, and everything is left to the Lord."
I'll make a decision when the master comes!" She could only insist on this.
Mr. Liu said solemnly, "You just said that Butler Lin went to prepare a place for Mr. Lin..."
Aunt Huang said, "This is a family scandal. How can I talk to outsiders? Why should Mr. Liu force others to do something difficult?"
Lin Zhixiu ate eggs, drank honey water, digested for a while, and now felt a little energetic. "What a coincidence! Butler Lin has been following my father since he was a child. My father married him, had children, and treated his family well."
.How could he run away at this moment! With his status and property, where could he run? If the Lin family reported it to the police! He would be caught in a few days, steal and abscond, and the whole family would be beheaded.
! He has been a housekeeper for so many years, how can he be so stupid? My father was injured and passed away while he was in office, and so many things happened to my family?! I have been sick for the past few days, and I have diarrhea like water every day and feel dizzy. Is it a coincidence?
?”
Aunt Huang secretly resented, how could this dead girl suddenly be so powerful? She could only say, "What the eldest lady is talking about, I don't understand at all. Now the master and his wife have not been buried, and the family's property is also in chaos. At this time, outsiders
But you can’t get involved, Mr. Liu, it will be hard to say or not! You are a high-ranking official in the court, and if people say that you put your hand in someone else’s house while your friend is dead, it will be detrimental to your reputation and future."
Liu Rushi was fine if she didn't say this. When she said this, he became even more alert: This woman, with all her postures, was trying to prevent him from intervening. Could it be that... something was really going on!
Lin Zhixiu begged, "Uncle Liu, my father regards you as a good friend, and my mother regards Aunt Liu as her sister. You must help me at this time! If it turns out that it has nothing to do with my aunt, I will definitely fight with my grandparents and uncle."
Say, I can’t blame you at all!”
Seeing Mr. Liu's expression of wanting to intervene more and more, Aunt Huang and Aunt Huang were frightened. One was kneeling on the ground unable to get up, and the other was sweating profusely and looked panicked. Lin Feng was also panicked. If something happened...if Auntie was really involved.
, what should we do?
Lin Feng was extremely frightened and said calmly, "Sister, this matter is indeed a private matter of the Lin family. It is very inappropriate for you to ask Master Liu like this!"
Lin Zhixiu turned around and said sternly, "Lin Feng! What's going on here cannot be solved by the Lin family behind closed doors! Your father has trained you for many years and taught you the principles of life. Think about it carefully, what should you do now?!"
Lin Feng was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Master Liu said, "Lin Feng, in the current situation, if you are a man, you should support the family without taking sides. If there is a matter of killing the mistress, it cannot be solved behind closed doors. Now, I want to
Stand behind Zhixiu and make the decision for her. Uncle Liu behaves well, stands upright, and is not afraid of others gossiping! Zhixiu, what do you want Uncle Liu to do?"
Lin Zhixiu stood up and bowed to Master Liu first, "Xiu'er, thank you Uncle Liu! Just stand behind Xiu'er and make the decision for Xiu'er."
Turn around and stand proudly in front of everyone.
To a servant in the yard, he pointed his little finger at them: "You people eat my parents and wear my parents... My parents are kind and generous to the servants and never criticize them harshly. Before, you saw that Aunt Huang was Lin Feng's biological mother. Lin Feng
He is also the only son of the second wife of the Lin family, so he obeys Aunt Huang’s command... Even though he is selfish and confused, it is still reasonable. Besides... most of you don’t know the truth of the matter, so... what have you done these days is against your conscience?
Except for their accomplices, I can forgive everyone else! But... from now on, who dares to favor Aunt Huang and Nanny Huang wholeheartedly, collude with them, and help them do what they do?
Bad things...don't blame me, the second eldest daughter of the Lin family, for turning her back and denying anyone! Not only you, but also your whole family...I swear on my parents' coffins, I will beat you to death, I will also beat your whole family.
dead!"
She pointed at her parents' coffins and swore, with tears still on her face and a fierce look in her eyes...
On weekdays, my mother is so kind to you! At critical moments, there are only a few true loyal servants. How can it not make people sad?
Most of the servants of the Lin family were gathered in the courtyard now. They were very scared when they saw the eldest lady, who was usually so pretty and happy, suddenly become like this.
The little girl's father was among them, and he took the lead and fell to his knees, "Miss Third, please forgive me, I did not participate in the murder of Madam... I will listen to the words of the eldest lady..."
After getting started, the timid ones who did not interfere in the matter also knelt down, yelling to listen to the eldest lady, and knelt down many more times. Some servants also thought that the second room belonged to Lin Feng, and the eldest lady was making a fuss. After all,
It was a woman... standing there silently.
Aunt Huang shouted, "Auntie, we can no longer be framed by others, you..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Whether it's a false accusation or not, let's use the evidence to tell! Someone, go and search Nanny Huang's house."
Aunt Huang struggled and said, "How dare you!"
Master Liu nodded, and his men came up and held her down, unable to move. Aunt Huang could only yell...
Aunt Huang: "Stop!"
The mother of the little girl in the kitchen came out and said, "Miss Third, when Madam was alive, she was the most kind to us slaves. My little son was sick, and Madam spent dozens of taels of silver to save him. I am loyal to you! I don't know that anyone has harmed me."
That's all, madam, now I know that I have to risk my life to find out the bad guys! I will lead people to search!" She stood up with a righteous look.
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "Well done! Uncle Liu, please send a subordinate to follow us so that we can verify each other!"
