Chapter 61
Chapter 60
Yesterday, Yan Ting seemed to have something to do, and he was not in the house.
Yan Qian came early in the morning, crying in front of Shen Yiyao.
But Yan Qian, a child, who told her that Yan Ting didn’t rest in Jinseyuan yesterday?
Yan Yan knows Yan Qian too much, she has no brains, she can’t think of such a soft knife trick. And Shen Yiyao is a soft-hearted person. If Yan Yan didn’t arrive early, Yan Qian’s “I won’t get up if you don’t agree” alone might allow Yan Qian to succeed.
Yan Yan was sure that no one taught such a rogue trick, and Yan Qian would never think of it.
Yan Qian is not too smart. When Aunt Pei was there, she never got close to Shen Yiyao. She spoke very little in her daily life and no one taught her. How could she change her personality so abruptly.
Thinking of Aunt Wu Cuiqiao said, Yan Yan gave Yimeng a wink before leaving Jinse Yard and asked her to stay quietly to ask more clearly. Anyway, Yan Yan and Yan Mo were following a lot of maids, and they couldn’t tell if she was missing.
When Yan Yan brought Yan Mo back from Rong’antang, Yi Meng was already waiting in the house.
“The slave girl asked Cuiqiao carefully. She said that she raised the curtain for the girl and went to the hut. When she came back, she saw Aunt Wu standing at the door with the fifth girl, as if she was going to go in, but she stood still. Under the porch at that time No one else happened to be watched by her. She was about to go up and say hello when the second girl knocked out of the door.”
Mother Zou pondered for a moment, and said, “It means she might have heard something and seems to want to avoid suspicion?”
“It may be eavesdropping!” Yan Yan said subconsciously.
After speaking, Yan Yan frowned, “But why is she eavesdropping?”
Aunt Wu gives people the feeling that she has always been a very honest, almost invisible person. I rarely talk to each other on weekdays, and I hardly go out of the house. The only special thing about her is that she used to be Shen Yiyao’s dowry maid. After that, for some unknown reason, Shen Yiyao opened her face to her. After giving birth to five girls, she became an aunt.
Shen Yiyao has always been good to her, and she has been respectful to Shen Yiyao, including Yan Yan, she has always been respectful. When Yan Yan was a soldier, she had suspected her before, but she had been observing for a long time, but she hadn’t caught her.
If it weren’t for Yan Qian’s behavior today, and Cui Qiao said that, Yan Yan would not reflexively suspect that she was eavesdropping.
But why is she eavesdropping?
It is really confusing!
The usual habit of Yan Yan is to leave it there and not think about things that cannot be figured out, not to mention that Yan Qian jumps up and down to release Aunt Pei. It is Yan Ting’s life to lock Aunt Pei. If there is no accident, Yan Ting will not let Aunt Pei come out for the time being, unless Shen Yiyao personally releases Aunt Pei out…
Thinking of this, Yan Yan felt even more that someone behind Yan Qian must be pointing her.
It won’t be the old lady, she won’t come out to add trouble to her son at this moment, especially Yan Ting is working hard to get the forgiveness of Zhen Guo Gong, although there is no progress.
So who will it be?
Seeing Shen Yiyao’s soft spot and being able to pinpoint Yan Ting’s absence, Yan Qian staged such a play…
Could it be this Aunt Wu?
But she never interacted with Zi Yuxuan, so why risk offending her by doing such a thankless thing?
“Mother Zou, find someone to stare at Yan Qian to see if she is in contact with anyone.”
Although Mother Zou looked a little embarrassed, she nodded her head.
There are not many people available to Yan Yan now. Most of the people in the Ningxiang Pavilion are from the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, which has resulted in no foundation in the Weiyuanhou Mansion, but there are a few eyeliners in the mansion. , But most of them are not by the master’s side, so they can only know some things they see, but they can’t find out inside.
Yan Yan also knows that this kind of behavior actually doesn’t make much difference, but it is better than nothing. Maybe he can get any useful information?
***
Auntie Wu now can’t wait to slap the second girl who is so stupid and angry.
“The second girl came to talk to the fifth girl? The fifth girl came back yesterday and was a little bit cold. She just took the medicine and was sleeping.” Aunt Wu said softly.
Yan Qian glanced at her impatiently, “I am not looking for the fifth girl, I am looking for you.”
Is this interesting? What else to install in your house!
Auntie Wu bit her silver teeth secretly and smiled forcibly, “Since the second girl is here to visit the fifth girl, my concubine will take you there.” After speaking, she went inside first.
Entering the fifth girl’s room, Aunt Wu closed the door herself, and then turned to look at Yan Qian with a hint of anger.
She lowered her voice, “Second girl, I didn’t say it earlier, don’t come to me if you have nothing to do! You made such a mess that day, and the third girl must have doubted it. You came to me on the cusp, not for me. Is it something?!”
Yan Qian sneered, “You are too cautious, so afraid of Yan Yan?”
You are not afraid, who was crying and ran away that day?
Aunt Wu’s face was stiff, “The concubine is just an unfavorable little aunt, so naturally she doesn’t dare to offend the three tall girls.”
Yan Qian snorted and went to sit down on a side chair, “The method you said is not good, change another one!”
Aunt Wu’s chest kept rising and falling with anger, “Second girl thought it was shopping? Can I change this one?” Her voice was extremely low, but she appeared a little sharp because of her anger.
“Then I don’t care, my aunt said, you must help with this!”
Aunt Wu took a deep breath, went to sit down on the edge of the bed, looked at Yan Chan who was asleep, tucked her quilt, and said: “You go and tell your auntie that your concubine doesn’t have that ability. The only way is your own. It’s blocked, and the rest can only watch Master Hou’s silence.”
Hou Ye would definitely not speak there, because he still begged Zhen Guo Gong Mansion now.
Yan Qian was also full of grievances, “How do I know that she happened to be so early that day, and I was scolded so badly by her!”
Aunt Wu turned her expressionless face, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a sneer arc, “How did I tell you at the time, I made a big push! Madam is soft-hearted, if you beg her, she will definitely be shaken. But the three girls are already here,” You don’t know if enough is enough, so let’s just go over it and try to use that trick in front of her next time. That trick works well for the wife, but letting the third girl see it is just poking her in the negative scale. Look for yourself. If you don’t know the situation, don’t blame others. Anyway, I can’t help it. Why don’t you ask Lord Hou?”
When she heard the three girls going to Jinseyuan that day, she hurriedly brought the five girls over. Who knew that Yan Qian was so stupid, and she gave her what she was afraid of!
Yan Qian was choked up, begging her father to be useful, does she need to come to Aunt Wu?
She went to beg, but was severely trained.
“Aunt Wu, don’t forget, my mother asked you to help me!”
Aunt Wu smiled sarcastically and glanced at Yan Qian.
“Do you also know that it is helping? Have you ever heard of people helping or threatening? Me and your mother are between us. As for you—the second girl, you should go quickly. I am a small temple here, and you will be young in the future. Come.”
Yan Qian snorted bitterly and left.
Aunt Wu’s face was extremely ugly.
She shouldn’t have gotten involved in this matter, but who would have thought that Yan Qian would have done so much less than failing! When Yan Qian came and left, she was like that when she left, and she would definitely be suspicious.
When I revisited Aunt Wu, she wanted to open her mind again, so she was suspicious, because she hadn’t done anything now, not back then.
Now she wants to raise the five girls well, as for the others, it has nothing to do with her.
***
The light in the room was very dim, and I saw a table and chairs and a simple canopy bed.
A gray-blue coarse cloth was hung on the canopy bed to make a tent, and a charcoal fire was burned in front of the bed.
Aunt Pei was lying on the bed, covering all the bedding on her body, still feeling cold.
The most inferior black charcoal is used in the charcoal basin, which smells like smoke and has an indescribable pungent smell. The quilt is actually quite thick, but because of the cold weather, it always feels moisturized, and it is not warm at all. It is not like the quilt that was used at Ziyuxuan at that time, which was covered with good silk and satin. It was just thin. With a thin layer, you can warm your whole body.
Yan Ting, you are so cruel!
Over the past month, Aunt Pei has been thinking about this all the time.
Obviously you can open one eye and close one eye, so that she can live better, anyway, Shen Yiyao will not verify this, but he is so merciless.
Strict, human, discipline, self!
Ha, has he forgotten their love for dozens of years, and she gave him two children?
Even the old lady has forgotten her niece, how she honors her on weekdays, and once something happens, it doesn’t matter to you! Stay in Rong’antang and enjoy the honor, let her live in dire straits!
Aunt Pei was gritted her teeth with hatred, and this hatred was corroding her mind every day. She hates Shen Yiyao, Yan Yan, the old lady, and even Yan Ting…
An old woman opened the door and brought in a chill. The heat accumulated in the charcoal basin was gone.
By the way, she still hates this old pious woman, doesn’t she know how cold it is here? Wouldn’t the door open a little when you came in? !
“Auntie Pei, it’s time to eat.”
The old woman put the food container on the table and went out again.
Aunt Pei actually didn’t want to get out of bed, but she was really hungry.
In the past, I never knew what it was like to be hungry. Recently, although I have a lot of three meals a day, I am a vegetarian every day, with less oil and water, eating a lot, and getting hungry quickly.
She dangled and put on a coarse cotton-padded jacket, wrapped herself tightly, and got out of bed.
Opening the food box, she touched the plates and bowls, leaving a trace of residual warmth.
She gobbled up two bites before going to the bottom of the food box. Sure enough, she sandwiched a small piece of paper in the seam. When she opened it, she wrote two words, “Unfinished”.
Aunt Pei understood what it meant, which meant that the only way was blocked.
She swept away the simple meals, took the note to the charcoal basin and burned it, then returned to the bed to continue to keep warm.
I don’t know how long it has passed, and the old lady who delivered the food came in the food box.
Aunt Pei stopped her, took off a jade bracelet on her wrist, and handed it over.
“I want to see the second girl.”
This old woman is deaf and mute on weekdays, and she never pays attention to whether she cries or shouts. She stuffed things and asked her to improve her food and environment, but she also ignored it.
She will not do anything that violates the above explanation.
But last time, Aunt Pei exchanged a bracelet to see Yan Qian. When Aunt Pei came in, she also brought two bracelets in. Now it is the last one.
Aunt Pei knows that this old woman is a genius and is easy to be caught, so she will never do it. The last time Yan Qian came to see her, she just passed a sentence, and when Yan Qian came, she ‘just happened’ to the cottage.
“I will go and hand over to the second girl. She can’t get in because of her own ability. If someone finds out, it has nothing to do with the old woman.”
The old woman took the bracelet, dropped these words, and left. ?
