Jia Cong's strong intervention directly suppressed the old woman who was still shouting.
Aunt Lu was so frightened that she didn't even continue to moan. She covered her mouth and avoided Jia Cong's cold eyes.
All the methods she had used before seemed to have lost their effect. Neither Daiyu nor Jia Cong cared about what she had done.
"Aunt Lu, what are you waiting for if you don't go down yet?"
Daiyu was also tired of such private affairs in the back house and was too lazy to pay attention to Aunt Lu's little actions. Seeing that she was still lingering in the front hall, she signaled Aunt Li to drive Aunt Lu and the others out.
"Brother Cong, how is my father? What did Dr. Li say?"
After Jia Cong sat down, Daiyu personally handed him a cup of tea and asked about pulse diagnosis.
Just listen to Jia Cong say: "I came here to tell Sister Lin about this. According to Mr. Li's diagnosis, my uncle is not sick, but poisoned. But Sister Lin, don't worry, Mr. Li has already detoxified my uncle, but this My uncle needs some rest for a while..."
Different from what Jia Cong had expected, Daiyu was not shocked. Instead, she clutched the account book in her hand tightly, and her red and swollen eyes were once again filled with tears.
Daiyu bit her lips tightly, suppressing the grief in her heart, and said with a choked sob: "Is it poisoning again? I just said that dad has always been in strong health, how could he suddenly become so ill? Did Dr. Li say that dad was poisoned? What kind of poison was it? Was it poisoned at home?"
"We haven't found out yet, but my father has asked my second brother to temporarily take over the affairs of the house. I think with my second brother's ability, I can catch the poisoner soon."
At this point, Jia Cong still believed in Jia Lian's abilities. In these years, Jia Lian had never made any omissions in dealing with large and small matters in Rongguo Mansion. Compared to the mess in Rongguo Mansion, the Lin family is much easier to manage.
At this time, Aunt Li came over with a middle-aged woman and introduced to Daiyu: "Miss, this is Mother Zhong from Aunt Fang's courtyard. Aunt Fang sent her here to hand over the key to the pair of cards. Yes, the master has asked Aunt Fang to take care of the house for the past two years."
Mother Zhong gave Daiyu a blessing gift, and then handed a pair of cards to Daiyu: "I would like to say hello to the eldest lady. Our aunt said that since the eldest lady is back, the affairs in this house will naturally be handled by the eldest lady." Make the decision. So I sent my slave to hand over the key to the card. If the eldest girl is unclear about something and needs help, I can send my maid to Zhiqingyuan to say something, and my slave will be there immediately."
"It turns out that Aunt Fang is the housekeeper, so I'd better keep the pair of keys with Aunt Fang."
Daiyu was quite familiar with Fang's aunt. She was the eldest maid next to her mother Jia Min, and later became her aunt. Daiyu often went to play with her when she was young, but she lost contact with her until she went to the capital.
I saw Daiyu pushing back the cards: "Aunt Fang is also an old person in the family, so I won't beat around the bush. I don't know how long I will stay when I go home this time. Things in the house should be done according to the old rules. Today I sang this play for outsiders to see if anyone had other thoughts during the time when my father was seriously ill. Mother Zhong went back and told Aunt Fang that she didn’t need to avoid anything, what it was like before, It’s still the same now, I’ll go talk to her when I have free time tomorrow.”
Mother Zhong didn’t expect Daiyu to tell the story so directly. After a brief surprise, she sighed: "Auntie is also worried that the eldest girl is running the family for the first time. If she comes here, people will think that she is fighting for power." I am worried that there will be unnecessary misunderstandings. Otherwise, my aunt would have come to see the eldest girl long ago, how could she let the people from Qinxinyuan come to the front!"
Daiyu couldn't help but laugh. She didn't expect that three years after leaving home, there would be a fight in the back house of Lin Mansion.
She shook her head, briefly comforted Mother Zhong, and finally escorted her out of the front hall door in person.
After Daiyu returned to the room and sat down again, Jia Cong took a sip from the tea cup and said quietly: "This Aunt Fang is quite sensible. Unlike Aunt Lu, she even forgot about the superiority and inferiority of the people." …”
Unexpectedly, Daiyu stared at the account book in her hand and sighed: "But now I'm not sure whether I can trust Aunt Fang."
Um?
"Why?"
After Daiyu glanced at Zicuckoo who was guarding the door, she explained to Jia Cong in a low voice: "Aunt Fang was the dowry maid that her grandmother personally selected for her mother. Her parents and brothers are still in Rongguo Mansion. It can be said that she is In the back house of the Lin family, I, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, am the most trustworthy person. But you think her behavior seems to be deliberately distancing herself from me. Brother Cong, do you think I should still trust her?"
"That's true..."
After what Daiyu said, Jia Cong also felt that Aunt Fang's behavior was a bit suspicious.
Daiyu is the niece of the Rongguo Mansion. She is an aunt who comes from a Rongguo Mansion family and has a son. She is not just trying to be loyal to her, but she is trying to avoid suspicion. Does she want Daiyu to go back and challenge her parents and brothers?
Could it be that she is a person with a cold temperament and indifferent emotions?
Daiyu didn't say anything else. After thinking for a moment, she said to Jia Cong: "Brother Cong, do me a favor and ask someone to find out how Aunt Fang's parents and brothers have been doing in the past few years? Then find out how they are related to each other. The correspondence between Aunt Fang and so on."
Jia Cong nodded: "This is not difficult, but Sister Lin, do you suspect that there is something wrong with Aunt Fang based on this alone?"
"Actually, I don't know why, but I just feel something is wrong, especially when Mother Zhong told me that Aunt Fang has been a good Buddha in the past few years. She also said that Aunt Fang has been copying scriptures and praying for dad these days."
Daiyu said sadly: "If I remember correctly, I saw several Taoist scriptures from Aunt Fang when I was a child. How could she convert to Buddhism so quickly?"
…
Daiyu has never felt the great changes in the Lin family so clearly. The Lin family's backyard is simple. Except for Aunt Fang who originally lived in Zhiqingyuan, only Aunt Lu from Qinxinyuan has been added to it in recent years.
However, precisely because of Aunt Lu, the back house of Lin Mansion became chaotic due to the appearance of Aunt Lu, disturbing the peace of the whole family.
It is said that Aunt Fang, the housekeeper, has nothing to do with Aunt Lu. In addition, Lin Ruhai has been busy with salt affairs in the past few years and rarely pays attention to matters in the inner house, which makes Aunt Fang gradually lose control of the Lin family's back house.
After spending a whole day, Daiyu had basically figured out the Lin family's reforms in the past three years.
Among them, Aunt Fang's change was so great that she was a little shocked. In just three years, she changed from a Taoist to a loyal Buddhist. It is said that the amount of money she gives to Buddhist temples every year alone is no less than hundreds. two.
You must know that Aunt Fang's parents and brothers are still slaves in Rongguo Mansion.
Just as she was thinking about the unusualness, Jia Lian asked her to go to the study to talk.
