Chapter 23
Fu Shou Tang

Mrs. Zhu sat on the kang covered with a big red bed embroidered with five bats holding clouds and flowers, and her waist was stuffed with a big red ice-crack brocade forging pillow.Mammy Cao waited on her to eat berries, and Red Algae and Hongye knelt down to beat her legs.

Seeing Zhu's anger disappearing, Madam Cao said anxiously: "The dowry has already been moved into the warehouse, and a copy of the list has been copied and sent to Chonghua Building together with the key."

"En." Zhu shi heaved a sigh of relief, the dowry had to be put under his nose to be at ease.

Today, Xie Qiao returns home.With the idea of ​​making this dowry, I'm afraid they will be more devoted to her.

"Old madam, it's almost Haishi, and the eldest lady is still kneeling outside." Madam Cao wiped the fruit stains from the corners of Zhu's lips, and served Zhu to rinse her mouth with tea: "I heard that the eldest lady came from Xie County Prince's Mansion. When I came back, I was frightened and fell ill. I haven’t recuperated well yet, if something like this happened, I’m afraid you’ll misunderstand and rush to plead guilty…” Realizing that the atmosphere in the room was getting colder, Mammy Cao stopped talking.

"You know nothing about her." Mrs. Zhu looked at Cao Mama coldly, with probing eyes.

Granny Cao knelt down on the ground with a plop: "This old slave is confused, this old slave has overstepped! The old madam has always cared about Missy, so she paid attention to Missy's movements..."

Zhu said coldly: "You are so foolish that you forget who your master is."

Granny Cao's heart was terrified, Zhu's beating made her dare not speak for Rong Yan again.

After Zhu shi washed up, she sat cross-legged on the bed in her pajamas, and only then did someone call Rong Yan in.

Rong Yan's knees were so weak that she couldn't stand up straight in pain, her face was pale and bloodless.As soon as she entered the inner room, she knelt at Zhu's feet, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Grandmother, Yan'er came to make amends for your mother. My mother is clumsy and not good at talking. I don't know that Jinbuyao is the dowry of my aunt. I just looked at it and casually asked for a similar golden step. Unexpectedly, when my father found out, he took the aunt’s golden step to my mother. I saw that the workmanship was fine, so I asked my mother for it. I went to Xie today The county prince's mansion happened to be wearing it, and Yan'er saw that Sister Xie liked it and gave it to her. If she knew it was the mother's dowry, how could she easily wear it as a gift?"

"My mother didn't know that I gave it to Sister Xie, and I heard people gossip about it, thinking that Sister Xie stole my things." Rong Yan broke down in tears and said with a face of remorse: "It's just... just that I didn't want to thank you My sister recognized that it was the dowry of the aunt. She was lost back then, she was still so young, and she was not at the age of the governor..."

With Rong Yan's words, she explicitly pointed out that there was someone behind Xie Qiao who was pushing all this.When she returns to the mansion this time, there must be some secrets that cannot be told.

Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and he fell into deep thought.

Rong Yan glanced at Mrs. Zhu, and said: "Mother is not an unreasonable person. Thank you, sister, for speaking clearly. Why bother to come to you? You have loved Yan'er since childhood, how can I be missing from your mother's dowry?" Why should I bother with the idea of ​​the dowry, chilling you? If I had known that Da Niang’s dowry was in Furong Residence, Yan’er would never have moved in, leading to such a misunderstanding today.”

Mrs. Zhu is not a stupid person, she heard Rong Yan's subtext, she meant that Xie Qiao was sowing discord.

In the end, she was a child who grew up with a favorite from the bottom of her heart. After she said this, Mrs. Zhu sighed softly: "You can think so, and I love you. It's getting late, you are weak, go back rest."

Rong Yan nodded obediently, she knew that she should not rush for quick success, she had to take her time.As for Xie Qiao, a weird smile appeared on the corner of Rong Yan's mouth.

Seeing Rong Yan's leaving figure, Zhu Shi said in a nasty voice: "I really misunderstood?"

Grandma Cao didn't dare to answer, she helped Mrs. Zhu to lie down.

Mrs. Zhu didn't want anyone to respond, although she somewhat cleared up her doubts.But the thorn planted by Xie Qiao finally pierced into her heart.

……

Chung Wah Building

After the spring rain and spring bamboo had rested, Mingxiu lit sleeping incense in their room, and about two quarters of an hour later, the dumb girl came in through the back door.

Xie Qiao watched her take off the black square scarf that wrapped her head, but she was in her early fifties, but she looked like an old woman in her seventies or eighties.His hair was gray, the deep wrinkles on his face were carved like a knife, and his back was bent, showing his old appearance.

"Miss..." Seeing Xie Qiao's moist eyes, the dumb girl called out excitedly, her hoarse voice was a bit harsh.Kneeling on the ground, kowtowed to her a few times: "The old servant finally waited for you!"

Xie Qiao was taken aback, he could speak, but his throat was severely damaged.

"Get up quickly." Xie Qiao helped the dumb aunt up. Before she died, Aunt Qing told her that she could contact the dumb aunt if she returned to Fuguo Duke's mansion.So when she entered the mansion, she asked Mingxiu to contact the dumb aunt to find out about the connections in Fuguo Duke's mansion.

"Miss, you must avenge your wife! That poisonous woman was called a sister to my wife back then, and she often came to the mansion to keep her company. Who knew that she seduced the master secretly and secretly passed the song. She even bought the woman in the mansion and gave it to her." Madam gave birth-inducing medicine. It was too late when Qinglian and I found out, if there is no sign of premature delivery, Madam will be discredited by that poisonous woman. The old slave discussed with Qinglian and pushed Madam down to cause premature labor." Speaking of the past , the dumb girl burst into tears: "Madam is kind-hearted, she doesn't believe that the poisonous woman had the idea of ​​harming her. The old slave was also arrested for pushing the lady down, and was given deaf-mute medicine. After a while, it was not completely deaf-mute, and thus avoided catastrophe."

Xie Qiao frowned tightly, did Li's premature birth come from Wei's medicine?

Li Shi's death, I'm afraid she can't get rid of it, right?
"Madam is so pitiful. She never entered the ancestral grave of the Rong family after her death, and there is no memorial tablet in the ancestral hall. The old man still wanted to show his affection, and didn't let a roll of mats be wrapped in a mass grave and just randomly searched for a place." Burial. Even so, they never spared Madam and ruined Madam's reputation." Mute Aunt tightly held Xie Qiao's hand: "You must seek justice for Madam!"

Xie Qiao nodded, and when the dumb girl calmed down, she took out an envelope and told her one thing.He warned: "If there is no important matter, don't come and go easily, otherwise it will be bad for you to show your feet."

The dumb girl nodded, wrapped her head in a black scarf, and quietly left through the back door.

……

Early the next morning, there was a burst of joy in the mansion.

The eldest and second young masters who were studying in the academy returned home, the master was happy, and the servants also benefited a lot.

Chunyu and Chunzhu came back from the front yard with smiles on their faces.

"The second young master is really good. The master said that he will be able to pass the examination for scholar this year!" Chun Zhu said excitedly.

Chun Yu curled her lips: "The Eldest Young Master is no worse than the Second Young Master."

"Today, the old man praised the second young master."

Chun Yu snorted coldly, and walked into the room with her hands shaken.

Xie Qiao shook his head.

It is understood that Rong Jin, the son of the Wei family, is the eldest son of the mansion, and he is competitive.The son of the Liu family, Rong Sheng, is the second young master, with a gentle and restrained personality.

Rong Jin secretly competed with Rong Sheng, causing the servants in the mansion to be divided into two factions.One faction supported Rong Jin and the other supported Rong Sheng.

Because the two young masters from the mansion returned to the mansion, Mrs. Zhu was very happy, and set up two tables at noon, inviting the masters from each courtyard to have a meal together.

Chunzhu makes up for Xie Qiao, and they go to Fushou Hall together.
