Dong's heart sank, and she frowned and said, "This... is impossible. Aunt Guan goes to Xuanqing Temple to deliver money every year, and she never stops doing so."
Ling Chu twitched the corners of his mouth and did not respond to her words.
So what the hell, Grandma Guan didn't live in the same cell as them, so even if she wanted to question her, there was nothing she could do.
Mrs. Dong looked guilty, "Sister Chu, it's my mother who couldn't help you, but she didn't find out about this. You... if you want to blame, blame your mother, it's your mother who didn't fulfill her responsibilities to you."
The third girl, Ling Qing, saw Dong's guilt and said hurriedly, "Mom, it's not your fault. There are more than a hundred people in our house, and it's hard for you to take care of the middle school in the house. You also have to take care of your father, and the eldest brother is weak. , energy is limited, you didn’t notice these little things, it’s not your fault.”
Ling Chu gave her a sarcastic look, yes, Mr. Dong was very busy all day long.
He was busy taking care of more than a hundred people in the house, but he couldn't spare the time to pay attention to his daughter who was far away in Xuanqing Temple.
Ling Chu was not sad.
The original owner is sad.
That's a poor little kid whose father didn't care for him and whose mother didn't love him since he was young.
Although she has relatives in the family, she is no different from an orphan girl.
The second lady and the third lady looked at each other. Neither of them expected that the eldest lady would ignore their daughter so completely.
There was silence in the cell. The wife opened her eyes, glanced at Mr. Dong with dissatisfaction, turned her head and said slowly, "Sister Chu, my grandmother knows that you have been wronged. Your mother did not notice this, and it was her fault.
However, what your third sister said is right. Your mother is in charge of the household. She has to serve me, an old woman, and your grandfather, and she also has to take care of the juniors in the house. She has no leisure time all year round.
Grandma was also wrong, not noticing that something was wrong with the servants in the house. But grandma promises you that when you get out, she will deal with grandma Guan and give you a satisfactory explanation. What do you think? "
Ling Chu quietly glanced at the Madam and said noncommittally, "It all depends on grandma."
She knew that the Tai Madam wanted to make the decision for her, not because she had been wronged and felt sorry for her. But I heard that she didn't ask Master Ning to help plead for mercy, because she thought she had resentment.
He proposed to deal with Aunt Guan, hoping to calm her anger so that she could ask Master Ning for mercy.
Although Mrs. Tai didn't say it clearly, Ling Chu knew that the prerequisite for dealing with Aunt Guan was that she could get everyone out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment alive.
The original owner is dead, so it doesn't make much sense to leave the nanny alone.
In fact, Ling Chu had a doubt in her heart. Although she didn't know who Aunt Guan was, as a servant, could she be so bold that she dared to steal the money she donated?
The eldest master's concubine, Aunt Rongming, said to Ling Chu in a soft voice, "Miss, your brother has been weak since he was a child, and I don't know how he is doing in prison now. If you have any way, ask someone to take care of him." Whether it’s giving him some clean food or a bowl of water, it’s all good.”
Seeing that Ling Chu just looked at her with cold eyes but said nothing, Aunt Wen felt unhappy.
But after a pause, he continued, "The eldest girl is now grown up, and when she gets out of this prison, she will be old enough to say goodbye.
It turns out that you are not in the house, and you are not familiar with your brothers and sisters at home. Although your eldest brother is physically weak, he is kind-hearted and has always cared about you, the twin sister.
And your third brother, although his temper is a bit more lively, he still talks about you, the eldest sister, from time to time.
I had been planning to go to Xuanqing to see you before, but I saw that he had a bad temper and was worried about him going out, so I didn't let him go.
My aunt didn't do this right. After all, you are siblings. My aunt shouldn't have stopped him from seeing you. But from now on when the eldest girl stays with us, I will let your third brother get along well with you, the eldest sister.
If you have anything to do in the future, just ask him to run errands. He is older now and is not as naughty as before, so he can handle things reasonably well.
If...if the emperor is willing to be lenient and let you juniors out, even if we elders are gone, you and your brothers can support each other in the future, and we will not be worried about leaving. "
Ling Chu raised his eyebrows, this Aunt Wen is not simple.
Seeing that the Second Madam and the others had a bad attitude, they guessed that she might have a soft-spoken temperament and were playing the tenderness card towards her.
First, she mentioned that her twin brother was weak and asked her to find someone to take care of him and give him food and water.
If she did as she was told, her brother would not be able to keep it all to himself if he had food and drink. The third brother is in the same cell as him, so he should be able to get some food.
Aunt Wen is very smart and wants to help her son in a roundabout way.
The third brother once made a fuss about going to Xuanqing to see her, but was stopped by Aunt Wen. She bluntly said that she was not doing the right thing and that she could bend and stretch.
The most important thing is that it's time for her to get married.
This is to remind her that when she gets married in the future, she cannot do without the support of her natal brothers.
Even if Ling Chu doesn't want to care about other people's lives, he still has to think about himself, right?
Therefore, even if it is just for herself, she must rescue the eldest brother and the third brother.
Ling Chu looked at her with a half-smile, "Aunt Wen, you can go with peace of mind, but I won't let you leave without peace of mind. Even if I'm the only one left, I can handle the rest of the things smoothly." .”
Aunt Wen was her father's concubine. Even for her father's sake, she had to manage her affairs smoothly.
Aunt Wen, considering her dedicated efforts, should be able to gain more merit, right?
Ling Chu's words made Aunt Wen speechless.
For a moment, Aunt Wen felt that the big girl's eyes seemed to see through her little thoughts.
But as soon as the idea came up, I felt it was impossible.
The eldest girl is only just old enough to have haircuts, how can she guess her thoughts?
Seeing that Aunt Wen, a well-rounded person like her, was frustrated by Ling Chu's hands, the others all wisely shut up.
Only then did Ling Chu's ears become clear.
When Ma Dalin distributed food to the prisoners in the prison, he prepared another portion for Ling Chu.
Ling Chu divided a portion and asked Jailer Ma to take it to the men's cell and give it to her elder brother.
It was not because of her mother's heart, but because the murderer behind the assassination of the original owner had not yet been found out, so she had better not appear too strong, so as not to make the people behind him wary.
When the madam and the others saw this, they all had a little smile on their faces. Aunt Wen felt proud. It seemed that the eldest girl had taken her words into her heart.
No matter how tough you are, as a girl, you still have to rely on your family.
This night, Ling Chu still couldn't calm down.
The sixth girl was possessed by a puppet spirit that appeared out of nowhere, making a fuss and asking the jailer to let her out.
When the second lady and the others saw that she suddenly changed into a man in her words and deeds, they were so frightened that they cried and shouted.
Ling Chu had no choice but to take action and use the talisman to drive the puppet soul out of Miss Liu's body.
When she took action, the other ghosts knew that she had Yin and Yang eyes, and almost made her a dumpling.
Fortunately, Ling Chu inherited the original owner's skills and nothing happened.
But this whole night, she didn't dare to close her eyes and sleep.
After staying up all night, I finally got some good news the next day.
Everyone in Shangshu Mansion was demoted to common people.
