Chapter 269

Ji Xiaoquan and Rui'er looked at each other, but also had nothing to say.

Liuli looked up and saw his sunken eye sockets, then waved her hands and said: "Okay, you go back first. After running around these days, take a few days off and give you three days off. After I'm done with this matter, I'll go back Arrange your errands. Haitang will let the cook prepare the table and noodles, send them to Rui'er's house, add a pot of wine, and reward Ji Ji."

Ji Xiaoquan and Rui'er hurriedly thanked them, and retreated together with Haitang.

Liuli mused to the ground for a long time, and then called Ji Jiaoer: "How is Lai Wu?"

Ji Jiaoer said: "I haven't gone yet, it is said that it will take three or four days to finish the work in Zhuangzi."

Liuli nodded, beckoned him over, and said: "You go to the outer street of Hefu to inquire in the past few days to see how the third master has always treated the elder master? It mainly depends on whether he has confessed in private since the third wife passed away. Have you asked about the Elder Master? You can do it now, and you will be rewarded if you do it!"

Ji Jiaoer said: "Don't grandma know? The third master has been out of Beijing for a few months."

"Going out of Beijing?" Liuli was surprised, she really didn't know this.But since I'm not there, I can only ask Aunt Su, so I said: "Then you go to see Eighth Girl and Fifth Grandma, and say that I haven't seen them for a long time, and I miss them. Then, by the way, see if you can enter He's Mansion." Go to the long room, if you can enter, go ask Aunt Su if there is anything you want to pass on to me."

Kikyo nods: "Young one, let's go."

In the evening, Ji Jiao'er came back, and when she saw Liu Li, she panicked and said: "If you go back to grandma, Ba Niu is very bad!"

Liuli didn't know what was wrong, so she didn't care to ask Aunt Su, and said, "What's going on?"

"Isn't the Seventh Young Master always under the care of Aunt Liu and Eighth Miss? At first, the Third Master was at ease when he was there, but I didn't expect that after the Third Master left Beijing, Aunt Ning and Fourth Young Master would have trouble with Eighth Miss and the others all day long. A few days ago, the Seventh Young Master vomited and vomited. Doctor Wu couldn’t find out the cause of the disease no matter how hard he checked. Later, he found out that there was something wrong with the nanny’s milk. Aunt Ning actually put croton powder in the nanny’s food, and the Seventh Young Master fell ill after eating the milk. Miss Eight rushed to Aunt Ning's room and beat her, but the Fourth Young Master helped Aunt Ning beat Miss Eight when he came back, and now Miss Eight lives with Young Master Seven in Grandma Fifth's yard."

Liuli heard that Huanhua was beaten by Ning's son and dropped her cup, "Huanhua is the son of the son, and brother Ping is a serious son of the son, and they dare to hit their ideas? I really don't know how much I have done!"

No wonder Huanhua didn't hand over the post during the time she was pretending to be sick, and she didn't come to the house to see her. It turned out that she was forced by Aunt Ning to not even go back to her room!
Yuegui Haitang was startled out of the back room, seeing her so angry, she asked Ji Jiaoer, and knew what was going on, everyone was also angry, but after thinking about it, what can they do?Liuli is already married, and it's still a matter of the third wife, so she can't control it even if she wants to.

"The Lin Mansion is Huanhua's husband's house, don't they know?" Liuli calmed down and asked.

Ji Jiaoer said: "I don't know if I know or not."

Liuli pondered for a moment, and said to Yuegui: "Then the Lin family and his son are all officials in the court? You bring a pen and paper, and I will write a letter to their wife. We don't care, let them take care of it! Huanhua belongs to their family Daughter-in-law, taking advantage of the absence of the third master, he was forced by the concubine's room to be unable to return to the room, what good will it do for his Lin family if this word spreads?"

Yue Gui glanced at her from the side, and said: "He is a scholar, and everything follows the rules, but he is not like our general. Even if Mr. Lin knows, the daughter-in-law who has not passed the family is still someone else's family, and she can rush to where. Mansion to help Eighth Girl?"

Liuli snorted, and said, "It's not just about relying on fists and knives to stand out for others. Lin Weiran also passed the imperial examination and gained fame. If he doesn't have any brains, how can he stand up for him in the future?"

As she spoke, she still took the pen and paper as Huanhua's sister, and wrote a letter to Mrs. Lin in a tactful manner, telling someone to deliver it early tomorrow morning.

The cooking here is over, and there is still serious business. When asked Aunt Su, Ji Jiaoer said: "Auntie only said one thing, saying that she has been very unwell recently, and after grandma recovers from her injuries, she will go back some time."

This is the third time that Aunt Su has asked her to take time to go back and see her. At this time, Liuli couldn't help but become careless. Aunt Su sent messages several times to see her, could it be that there is something important?
"Auntie didn't tell you anything else?" Liuli asked.

Kikyo thought for a while, "No more. When the little one went, my aunt was lying on the bed. For some reason, she had coughed up blood again, and she lost a lot of weight, so she asked the little one about her grandmother's injuries. , The little ones have returned truthfully."

Liuli's brows became more and more wrinkled. It is said that the person Liuli sent over was also the companion Liuli picked out by herself, so she should trust him.But she was so ill, she didn't say anything else, such as her own illness, but asked her to go back to see her again and again, and didn't say anything. Could it be that there was something extremely important?
However, apart from the matter about the chief house of He Fu, what other important matters need to be kept out of the public eye?

Liuli is almost certain that the evidence she is looking for is in Aunt Su's hands!

The next morning, she sent people to the palace to invite Imperial Physician Xing. Imperial Physician Xing was the imperial physician who treated her injuries, and asked her: "Based on the experience of imperial physicians, if ordinary people have injured their spines, how long does it take at least for them to recover before going out?" ?”

Doctor Xing said: "It depends on the severity of the injury. If it is lightly rubbed, it will not hinder movement for ten and a half months. If it is a bit heavier, it will take a month. If it is a symptom such as a bone fracture, it will take at least three months." It's been a month."

"Three months?!" Liuli was stunned, "How can I do that?" She has important things to do, how can she stay in the house for three months?

"According to Madam's condition, it's almost two months." Doctor Xing saw that she was anxious, and quickly said: "Madam was still able to stand and move when she was in Zhongcui Palace. Actually. So the lower officials have always prescribed medicines for bruised muscles and bones. Counting now, it will be one and a half months, and in about ten days, I will be able to go out and show my face."

Although Liu Li said that he couldn't wait a day, but there was no other way, he could only wait for another ten days.Aunt Su is sick now and cannot come out to meet her, not to mention her status does not allow her to freely enter and leave the palace, fearing that she will be anxious, so she sent Ji Jiaoer to deliver another letter, telling her to meet her at the mansion in ten days.

Even if He Yuli really refused to let her in, she still had to go this time.

While staying in the room patiently, news came from Huanhua.

It turned out that after Mrs. Lin received Liuli's letter, she then showed it to her husband, Mr. Lin and Lin Weiran. The Lin family and his son discussed it overnight, and the next day, Lin Weiran went to He Mansion as Huanhua's husband-in-law to meet Mrs. He who had taken leave to recuperate from illness. On the one hand, Mrs. He then ordered the Liang family and the Nie family to scold Aunt Ning, and then ordered the fourth young master He Tingrong to be separated from the family. Feeling ashamed, he voluntarily asked to move out of the house and live in another place.Mrs. He agreed to him and gave him a small house with three entrances in the back street. After the three bedrooms were separated, they would not have the share of brothers.

In this way, although it was unreasonable for the Lin family to intervene in this matter, there was no direct conflict with Sanfang, and it was very good looking.

And Mrs. Lin also wrote back to Liuli after Huanhua took Brother Ping and moved back to the third room, to the effect that she thanked Liuli for telling them all this in time, so as to maintain the reputation of her young mistress. He took a look at Liuli's injury.

Liuli doesn't believe that the Lin family doesn't know about the affairs of the third house in He's house, but it's true that as Yue Gui said, their scholarly family has a clean career, and they have never been in Huanhua, so even if they know it, it's inconvenient to meddle in other people's housework.As soon as Liuli's letter went, the Lin family couldn't pretend to be ignorant anymore, but because of her idea, Lin Weiran took the old man's way and asked him to solve it.

Mrs. Lin's words naturally meant to accept Liuli's affection along the way. Although she didn't mean it very sincerely, it at least showed her respect for Liuli's in-laws.They are purely from official careers, and they are somewhat noble, and they don't think much of these Juelu families, so among the piles of famous posts that have been thrown in, there are only a few official families including the Lin family. of the house.

Mrs. Lin's current attitude represents Lin Shilang's attitude at the moment.

Liuli didn't dare to be hasty anymore, after thinking about it, she found Fan Yun and asked, "Do you know where Lin Weiran, Lin Shilang's son, works now?"

Liuli actually didn't expect him to know so much, but for a while, she really didn't know who to ask.Fan Yun thought for a while, but said: "Mr. Lin, the 23 high school candidates in the palace examination the year before last, first entered the Imperial Academy as a servant, and then transferred to the Imperial Academy as a secretary, and now they are still in the Imperial Academy."

Guozijian, that is where the children of ministers are taught.She has never seen Lin Weiran before, and she doesn't know how to move it. Mrs. He personally came forward to handle it at this time, but this matter was handled beautifully, which shows that he still has a brain.

Liuli glanced at Fan Yun and said, "Guan Fan has good eyes and ears."

Fan Yun bowed and paused, and took his leave.

Liuli read Mrs. Lin's letter again, and then replied a few words in the name of Mrs. Zhen Guo.

And the next day Huanhua also brought Brother Ping over the mansion, first went to the main courtyard to meet Mrs. Mei, and then brought Brother Ping to Chaoqingtang.

Brother Ping is already one year old, and he can walk while leaning on the tables, chairs and walls. He is chubby and laughs when he sees people. He is very attached to Huanhua, but when he sees Liuli, he also reaches out to hug him.Liuli used to hug him a lot in the mansion, but this boy seemed to remember, calling "Sister" and "Sister" and stroking Liuli's hair.
