boudoir

Chapter 76 The truth is coming!

Liuli calmed down, and said: "The old lady is very discerning, and you can't hide anything from your eyes, so Liuli is convinced. Indeed, I have long suspected that this is man-made, not really ghosts, and the old lady has long since Do you think so? Otherwise, why didn’t you quickly ask the mage to enter the garden to resolve it? That’s because you also know that there are some people and some things that even the powerful mages and eminent monks can’t help. Liuli knows that she came from a humble background I shouldn't have entered this wealthy family to enjoy the blessings. Liuli once invited her to go, but the old lady refused to stay, and caused such troubles for no reason. If I don't tell the truth about the matter, I will definitely spread more evil and vicious in the future Please forgive me for protecting myself in this way and borrowing the strength of the old lady. It is my fault. Now that the old lady knows the truth, if she wants to punish me, I have no regrets."

Mrs. He was so angry that her complexion was ashen, she held the coffee table with her hand and almost embedded her fingertips.

Liuli knelt down, kowtowed three times, and waited for her to show her.

The flower hall was as quiet as if no one was there.Mrs. He has lived for most of her life, but she has never met such a bold woman. She not only fooled her to clear her suspicion, but also forced her to accept a hot potato—Zi Yan confessed that the person who instigated her was Yu Yu. Hua, is the most outstanding granddaughter in the mansion, who has placed the most high hopes in the next year's draft. Her grandfather is the first-rank prime minister. Now Mrs. He still needs to rely on him from time to time, but the former girl forced herself to deal with her. !

I blame myself for wanting to catch this murderer too.The impact of this matter is too bad, but it's impossible not to investigate... If she had known, she would have asked someone to investigate secretly, so she wouldn't be so passive.Think back when she was in charge of Zhongfu, how could she be begged to find out the truth after the incident happened?It's only been a few months since they've been left alone, and apart from anything else, the fight between the daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law is already fierce.

Now that things have happened, she actually feels a little bit stuck.

"Punishing you is a trivial matter, how to end it now is a major matter!" She frowned with a headache, even if she found out the truth, she couldn't really beat Yuhua up, she still had her great expectations on her shoulders!But it can't be ignored, Ziyan has already pleaded guilty, there must be a reason to stop Youyou's mouth.

"The ending is easy." Liuli smiled, "The old lady's only concern is that she won't reveal this person. Isn't Ziyan from the long house? In Liuli's opinion, it's better to hand over the confession just now to the eldest lady." That’s right. Thinking about it, Mrs. Shi has her own opinion.”

Ziyan is a member of the eldest room, and she was instructed by Yuhua to do this. If she is handed over to Mrs. Yu together with her confession, it not only relieves the old lady's worries, but also sells face to the eldest room—it is true good idea!

The old lady thought for a while and said: "It's a good idea, but if the lady handles it alone, wouldn't it be like what you said before, it will not be able to convince the public? You have to appoint another person to do it properly."

Liuli pondered and said: "If you invite Mrs. Liang, Mrs. Liang always likes to watch the excitement and does not do business, and she has been jealous of the long house for a long time, everyone knows.If Mrs. Nie is invited, although the eldest and fourth householders have always been close, the victim in this matter is Yanhua, and Zi Yan is the eldest householder, so how can they be partners?On the contrary, the third wives, Qi and Yu are equal in rank, and the two of them divide and manage the internal affairs of the mansion. Although there are some differences, they are better than the Liang family and Nie family.

The old lady quickly finished her analysis and nodded almost invisible.

Looking up at the little girl again, he suddenly felt that although she usually looked taciturn, now she was quite able to speak a few words.Thinking that it has been three months since she entered the mansion, she has never looked at her directly. In the past, she was only thought of as an evil child born of an unruly woman. Now that she has made such a fuss, compared to the reserved and obedient nature of the ladies, I suddenly feel her This kind of boldness is rare.But after all, it is a concubine...

But Liuli was wondering if she would punish herself, and if she punished her, what would she do? She was not afraid of being punished for kneeling, copying and embroidering, if it was a stick, it would be best to avoid it.It's not that he is afraid of pain, it's that he really has a shadow on the wood, but these women in the mansion have become a habit of shouting and beating, what if they can't avoid it?
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the old lady say: "Get up!"

Before she could withdraw from those thoughts, she was stunned.The old lady frowned and said, "Go back to the garden!"

Only then did Liuli realize that she had actually spared herself, she hurriedly got up, blessed herself and exited the screen.

Mrs. Yu was in the room staring at a bag of bird's nest, when Cai Qin suddenly came in from outside the curtain: "Ma'am! The old lady asked Mrs. Qian to escort Zi Yan!"

Yu's hand trembled, almost spilling the bird's nest on the ground.Hearing that Qian Changsheng's family's voice had come from outside, he quickly wrapped the paper bag randomly and handed it to Caiqin: "This is bird's nest for the old lady, send it here quickly."

The old lady moved very quickly, and Liuli took Ziyan to the long room after she left. Qian Changsheng's family explained the reason for her visit, and the next day, the Yu family and the Qi family interrogated the truth about Zi Yan pretending to be a ghost to scare Yanhua. .After the truth was announced, everyone couldn't help being surprised. It turned out that it was Zi Yan who made the mistake herself in order to please Mrs. Yu and retaliate against Yanhua for the position of the first-class maid.Yu was very "angry", beat her with ten sticks on the spot, and sold her to a landlord outside the city.Qi Shi had nothing to say, sneered twice and left.

Rui'er said suspiciously: "I think this matter is fake. How could Zi Yan have such courage?"

Liu Liyun said calmly: "It doesn't matter if it's fake or not? Anyway, someone pleaded guilty, and we are also innocent."

Rui'er thought for a long time, but still said: "Madam must have given Zi Yan something, otherwise she would not plead guilty." After saying that, she went out confidently, as if she knew that Liu Li would not be able to ask anything.

As soon as this matter was settled, the atmosphere in the mansion became lighter again, because Min Hua was supposed to get married on February [-]th.

The mansion is also lively these days, because although Min Hua is a concubine, there are not many foreigners who come to add make-up, but the people in the mansion still respect Aunt Su, and the mansion has not held any happy events in the past two years. After hearing about Merlin being haunted, he took the opportunity to relax his tense nerves, and took advantage of the warming weather to walk around.

Liuli's Baizi quilt had been embroidered a long time ago, so today Shuangxi asked Shuangxi to pack everything and put it in a wedding basket, and asked Haitang to carry it to Aunt Su's courtyard.

It happened that Zhenhua, Suhua and other concubines who had not gone to school also came, so Min Hua asked Liuli to sit at a table with them and have tea.Zhenhua was a little uncomfortable, and turned her head to talk to Hengwei who was counting the makeup, but Suhua took a fancy to a plate of buttered balls on the table, bowed her head and ate happily.Liuli knew that she was not welcome, so she didn't want to stay long when the ceremony came, so she put down her teacup and got up to say goodbye.

Min Hua has never been good at words, and he didn't have much to say to her, so he immediately sent her off, then turned back to the house.When Liuli walked to the gate of the courtyard, Hengwei suddenly caught up and said, "Ninth Miss, why don't you sit down longer? The second girl was busy with things just now, but she forgot to return the gift to the girl. A bag of sweet-scented osmanthus, a bag of pastry fruit, the girl brought Go back and try it."

Liuli smiled and said, "Do other girls have them, or is it just me?"

Heng Wei said: "Of course other girls have them."

Liuli took it and put it in her hand: "Then thank you, my aunt and the second young lady." Seeing that she still hadn't left, she asked, "Is there anything else you can do, Mammy?"

Heng Wei said with a smile: "Nothing else, but my aunt asked the girl, when is the big kitchen open?"

When Liuli heard this, she immediately knew that she was urging Cheng Yingniang to do something.Unable to avoid having a headache again, he pushed Haitang out first, and said bravely, "I'll do it as soon as possible."

Hengwei stretched out her hand and said a word, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the big kitchen is about to change hands, the girl should act quickly. If she fails to live up to the expectations of the aunt, it will be bad for the girl in the future."

Liuli hated people's coercion the most in her life, and she was a little unhappy at the moment, but she still smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother, I will do it as soon as I promise, there is no need to urge me."

Heng Wei nodded and watched her go away.

Aunt Su watched Hengwei come back from the window, and asked at the first sentence: "How is it?"

Heng Wei said: "She said as soon as possible." Aunt Su frowned and said, "Forget it, wait until Min'er gets married." Heng Wei nodded, stayed, and couldn't help but worry: "Why does Auntie believe so much?" This girl?" Aunt Su looked at her own shadow in the bronze mirror and said, "The more inconspicuous a person is, the easier it is to succeed in doing things. Besides, she has something in my hands. With this, she is naturally someone you can trust."

Heng Wei looked at her like this, and couldn't help saying: "But I don't think she is that easy to handle. I just urged her just now, saying that if she lives up to her aunt's expectations, it will be bad for her, and her eyes will be wrong. I After all, don’t worry.”

Aunt Su turned around and said, "Why are you telling her this? People who are oppressed a lot hate being persecuted the most. If you say that, won't she be more disgusted?"

Heng Wei was stunned.Aunt Su sighed and sat down, "Forget it, it's not easy for you. Let's wait until she finishes it. As long as Yingniang takes charge of the stove, I will start to do it!"

Liuli came out of Aunt Su's courtyard with the package of buttered fruit and sweet-scented osmanthus, and was about to go back to her room to see what was wrong with the paper package. When she walked to the corner, she saw a man coming out of the opposite hall with a medicine box on his shoulders, and was stroking the goat with one hand. Beard, full of old fox shape.

When Liuli saw him, she remembered something: "Doctor Wu, what a coincidence."

Wu Yinzhong raised his eyes to look around, cupped his hands and said, "So it's Miss Nine."

Liuli said: "Doctor Wu, last time I asked the girl to bring you some rice cakes for you to check. The rice cakes have fascinated so many birds for a few days. There is obviously a problem. Why do you insist that there is no problem?"

Wu Yinzhong was taken aback: "Rice cakes? I haven't seen any rice cakes before."

Liuli snorted coldly and said, "Dr. Wu, does it mean that the nobleman forgets things too much? It's what happened years ago, and it's only been more than a month, and you've completely forgotten it! Didn't you take some advantage from someone?"

Wu Yinzhong pointed to the sky and swore: "If the old man receives any rice cakes for inspection within two months, I will be struck by lightning and die on the street!"

Liuli was surprised: "How is that possible?" Obviously she told Ruier to take it, she said at the time that the rice cake Wu Yinzhong said was fine, but she later threw the rice cake...into the lake!

In an instant, she caught something in a trance, and stared ahead with her eyes wide open.Wu Yinzhong thought she was bewitched by an evil spirit, so he hurriedly put down the medicine box to pinch her.She stretched out her hand to slap him away, and said, "Let me ask you, what kind of medicine is in the house that is relatively common, but can make people drowsy?"
