boudoir

Chapter 157 She jumped into a well!

After dinner, the girls had tea and went back.

Su Huayin was next door, so she stayed for a while to watch Liuli Tiao's embroidery before leaving.Coincidentally, it rained heavily again, Liuli was afraid that her shoes would get wet, so she left her to sit for a while.It was so easy to wait for the rain to stop, but it was almost Haishi, Liuli saw that she didn't bring her maid, and Rui'er and the others happened to be away, so she sent her out by herself.

The two small courtyards are separated by a courtyard wall, side by side, with the main house in front.Liuli sent her all the way to the yard before saying: "You go back to the room by yourself, I won't go in, so as not to disturb Auntie." Suhua nodded, told her to be careful, then turned her head and went to her own room .Liuli held a lantern and watched her enter the door from the corner of the courtyard before turning around again.

When I turned around, I accidentally saw the door of a room in the east opened, and a person came out quietly, who looked like Aunt Chen.As far as Liuli knows, Aunt Chen's house lives on the east side of the courtyard, Suhua lives on the west side, and the others are either vacant or given to maidservants. Neat, what do you mean?
She stopped here, Aunt Chen also saw her, she seemed to be in a daze, she stopped there for half a day without moving.Liu Li simply went up to say hello: "Hello, Auntie. I'm taking Miss Seven back to her room, and I'm about to leave."

Aunt Chen said slowly: "Ah, oh. Then, why don't you come in again?" After speaking, she seemed to regret it again, and said quickly: "It's getting late, you can come over for tea some other day."

Liuli always felt that there was something wrong with her, but no matter how wrong it was, it was someone else's business. Besides, it was getting late, so she bent down to say goodbye, and came out with the lamp.

It rained heavily all night, pushing people into sleep like a lullaby.In the middle of the night, Liuli vaguely heard a few screams coming from somewhere, but she was too sleepy to ignore it.When I got up in the morning, I opened the window and saw that the rain had completely poured the soil in front of the house, and the two peach trees in the yard had lost many leaves, making them look miserable.

Rui'er pushed the door open and came in, saw her lazily leaning on the window, walked over and said: "There was an accident in the yard next door last night."

Liuli turned around: "What happened?"

Rui'er bit her lips, and said: "Lian Xin in Aunt Chen's room, after getting drunk, she served the old master at night."

Liuli straightened up, suddenly remembered those screams in the middle of the night, and said with a shudder, "Drunk?"

Rui'er nodded, "Didn't Aunt Chen leave the old man to eat in the room last night? Lian Xin was serving the wine. Somehow, she got drunk and woke up in the middle of the night to find that she was lying with the old man. On Aunt Chen's bed. Aunt Chen is not in the house. Lian Xin jumped into the well this morning, but fortunately she was rescued, and she is still clamoring for death."

Liuli stood fixedly facing the mud outside the window for a long time, then suddenly sneered.Aunt Chen naturally wouldn't be in the house, all of this was planned by her, so how could she be in the house!No wonder she pushed Suhua to eat at her place last night, it turned out that it was to please He Cunli!In my impression, Aunt Chen is a master who can't cause trouble, but where did she have the courage to force her to be a "prostitute" like this?
"Does my aunt know?" she said.

Rui'er knew that she was referring to Aunt Su, and hurriedly said: "Auntie is also very angry now, so she called Linlang to invite Aunt Chen. I heard that Lianxin's mother also knew about it, and she is now coming to the mansion. Lian Xinniang is not a vegetarian, so I don't know what will happen?"

Liuli thought for a while and said, "Look and see."

Rui'er hurriedly cleaned and changed her clothes, and accompanied her to go out to the east.

Only halfway through the Chaoshou corridor, Aunt Su's stern voice came from the main hall: "You are living smarter! You still know how to tie a man's heart with this method. First, it was Huier, and now it is Lianxin , why don’t you just give the master all the people in the room! You’ve forced him to death, this is a matter to be questioned by the officials, I think you can bear it with a few heads!”

As soon as Liuli heard it, she knew that Aunt Chen had arrived, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Before arriving at the hall, she entered from the next room and watched the movement through a carved wall.

At this moment, Aunt Su was sitting on the top, staring at Aunt Chen who was sitting below with a livid face, holding on to the armrest with one hand, and clenched the other hand into a fist, obviously really angry.Aunt Chen stood at the bottom shyly, and opened her mouth a few times before making a sound: "That Lian Xin, that Lian Xin, she has long wanted to climb into the master's bed, this time she is looking for death and life, but it is just threatening us..."

"Threat?" Aunt Su sneered: "She climbed onto your bed, and then came to threaten you?"

Aunt Chen was speechless, and murmured: "Yes, it was the master who fell in love with me, and I did not dare to disobey, so - anyway, this girl definitely didn't really want to die, she was just a slave, who could win the master Appreciation is her blessing, others can't even get it!"

Aunt Su gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, when my mother comes later, you can just tell her like this! Let's see if she will be grateful to you!"

"Sister, don't be angry. I made a mistake in this matter. But I didn't expect her to be so fierce..." Aunt Chen laughed and bowed down.

"There are so many things you can't think of!" Aunt Su said: "There are people like you who only know how to obey blindly in the world, and there are people like her who are strong! Don't think that everyone is like you! You are here Isn't it because you thought she would not obey? Why didn't you think that she would seek death? Now that her mother is coming to the mansion, let me see what you do!"

She picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then put it down with a bang.

Aunt Chen looked up at her, and suddenly knelt down to her: "I beg my sister to make the decision for me!"

Aunt Su snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Liuli looked under the carved window for a while, and gradually frowned.Aunt Chen made it clear that she wanted to push this mess to Aunt Su, but is this mess so easy to clean up?
Just when Lin Lang came to serve tea, she called her and said, "Tell Auntie quietly that I'm waiting for her in the back room."

Lin Lang went out in response.

Through the carved window, Liuli saw that she was going back next door with Aunt Su, and then Aunt Su glanced this way, and said to Aunt Chen, "You go back first." Then she went into the back room.

Because the two sides are connected, Liuli also left the window and entered the back.

Aunt Su was sitting on the embroidered pier in front of the bed, when Heng Wei said "The girl is here", Aunt Su raised her head.Liuli walked over and said, "How will mother handle this matter?"

Aunt Su frowned and sighed: "How can we deal with it? This Mrs. Chen really has no brains to do such a thing! This will not only make him lose face, but also make us very passive. If Lian Xinniang sues Official, the reputation of the Grand Master will be ruined! She will not be the only one who will be unlucky!"

Seeing that she was annoyed, Liu Li said after a while, "Aunt Chen may not be ignorant of the consequences, the troubles like this are probably on purpose."

Aunt Su turned her head.Liuli continued: "Think about it, although she blindly only listens to the elder master's orders, she has been in charge of the housework for a few days anyway, why doesn't she know what the consequences of this matter will be? What happens now, she will go to Pushing on you, my mother has accepted this feedback, so I have no choice but to pick up this mess."

Aunt Su snorted: "This is not a real person. So what should you say?"

Holding the tea, Liuli suddenly changed the subject, and said: "This Lian Xin is indeed a strong woman, but mother, don't worry. If you think about her making such a fuss, the news of losing herself to the master will spread. No matter how bad it will be in the future. Married. It is said that her mother is also an innocent person, and even if she comes to the mansion right now, she is just seeking justice. As long as we treat her well and give her mother and daughter a choice, it will naturally calm down."

Aunt Su pondered for a while and said, "What choice?"

Liu Li said: "It's easy to deal with Lian Xin. One is to let her choose to leave the mansion and give her a sum of money. For the sake of his own reputation, the Elder will naturally not feel sorry for this. The second is to let her stay to serve the Elder and give her This honor honors her. Now that the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, there are only two roads left and right. Even if Lian Xin wanted to make trouble, it wouldn't last long with a mother who cared about her. The difficult thing is other aspects .”

Aunt Su sighed after hearing this: "This is exactly what I thought. What is the difficult thing you said?"

Liuli said: "It's Huier."

Aunt Su's eyes froze, she stopped shaking the fan.

"Hui'er has served the Eldest Master before, and she is still not even a housekeeper. Whether it is to pay Lian Xin for compensation, or to promote her, Huier will definitely be offended. Of course, the Elder Master Lian Xin wants to die. Aunt Chen is the one to blame, but if Hui'er gets into trouble, it's her mother's fault." Liu Li glanced at her and said.

Aunt Su stared at her closely, and said for a long time: "Then according to you, what should we do?"

Liuli smiled, "Mother is so smart, why can't she think of what to do?"

Aunt Su suddenly smiled too, poked her eyebrows and said: "Ghost girl, you are really my little padded jacket!"

Lian Xin's mother came into the mansion at noon, Aunt Su originally said she would go to the courtyard gate to meet her, but she couldn't stand being angry with Aunt Chen, she actually had a headache again.He had no choice but to send Heng Wei to meet her at the west corner gate in person.

This is a woman with meticulously combed hair and very decent speech. Her eyes are full of anger, and her anger can be seen, but knowing that Aunt Su is the head of the family, she is not the one who forced Lian Xin to jump in, so she is polite Greeted with her.Both Liuli and Aunt Su thought that she would come with Lian Xin's brother and sister-in-law, but they didn't know that she came into the mansion alone, Liuli admired her courage alone.

However, such a person who has no mistakes in the details is generally not willing to make a big fuss. She came here alone, most likely because of this.

And before she entered the mansion, Aunt Su asked someone to bring Lian Xin over, leaned on the bed and comforted her a lot, but Lian Xin just cried blindly, with hatred in her eyes, and she could barely bear it because Aunt Su was unwell. live.Aunt Su told Lin Lang to take care of her and sent her out, then called Heng Wei to the side to give some instructions.
