Ji Jun shook off Aunt Su's hand, pulled Shaoyao and hurried out of the Buddhist hall. Seeing Ji Jun's worried expression at the door, Grandma Mu guessed that the two of them would break up on bad terms, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Grandma Liu.
Behind him, a sinister smile appeared on Su Jin's face.
The three of them walked on the path in front of the Buddhist temple without saying a word. Suddenly I saw a little maid running in front. She was overjoyed when she saw Grandma Mu and said hurriedly: "Mammy, let me find it easily! I just came from Danguiyuan and said that you accompanied Miss Ji to the Buddhist hall! You Go back and see Madam! Mother Zhang came to thank Madam, but Madam thought of the eldest son, and the two of them cried together, and no one could persuade them. Aunt Zhuo ordered the servant to come to Mammy as soon as possible! "
Aunt Mu said anxiously: "Oh! Okay, just accept the New Year's gift, what are you talking about these false gifts?"
Aunt Mu hurriedly said goodbye to Ji Jun: "I don't trust my wife, so I should go first."
Ji Jun's eyes flickered, his mind turned, and he said: "Mommy, just in time, I have to go see Madam and tell her that everything is fine with Aunt Su. I will go with you."
Aunt Mu thought it would be a good idea to have someone else whom Madam doesn't dislike to persuade her, maybe it would be of some use.
On the way, the little maid told Master and Servant Ji Jun that this son of Mother Zhang was the eldest son's bookboy, and now there is no news about him and the eldest son.
Ji Jun, Aunt Mu and others hurried to the entrance of the main courtyard and saw Aunt Zhuo walking out of it.
Aunt Zhuo approved a blue cotton robe today, with a simple headdress, only a silver hairpin and two pearl earrings inserted sideways. With a thin body and a calm face, he looked frail, but it reminded Ji Jun of the tough grass standing upright in the wind.
Seeing the confusion in Aunt Mu's eyes, Aunt Zhuo hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, Madam Shicai had some mood swings and a headache. It happened that when I was with the old Madam, I followed a female doctor from the palace to get some ideas. Madam asked my concubine to try the massage technique, and it really worked! Now Madam is a little tired and went to rest in the inner hall. My concubine told Mother Zhang about the technique, and now Mother Zhang is accompanying Madam."
Aunt Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
A flash of understanding flashed in Ji Jun's eyes, and then he smiled and said: "In this case, I would like to trouble you to tell Madam that Ji Jun will come to see Madam again another day! Please rest in peace, Madam."
Aunt Mu thanked her and watched Ji Jun and Aunt Zhuo leave with her eyes slightly narrowed.
The newly cleared trail was covered with a thin layer of snow at some point. The wind started blowing, mixed with fine snow particles, hitting people's faces and bodies.
A gust of wind came with a strong force. Aunt Zhuo staggered a little, and the maid Lu Bai beside her hurriedly supported her.
Ji Jun also stopped hastily. Before he could ask, Aunt Zhuo said, "Miss Ji, it's inconvenient for you and me to stay too long. I have something to say."
Ji Jun nodded to Shaoyao, and Shaoyao and Green Cypress took a few steps back.
Ji Jun smiled slightly and said: "My aunt has put a lot of thought into it, but my aunt has already offended Su Jin that day, so why bother anymore?"
Ever since Su Jin copied scriptures for the Yang family, Aunt Zhuo had already guessed that Su Jin had plans in mind, or was planning to leave the Buddhist temple at the end of the year. Or something else, and nine out of ten of them are related to Ji Jun.
Sure enough, today she heard that Aunt Mu went to Danguiyuan, and Aunt Zhuo knew that Su Jin's target was Ji Jun.
So, she asked Mrs. Zhang to go into the house to thank Yang.
And she "happened" to go to greet Yang.
The time calculation is really accurate!
Aunt Zhuo covered her mouth lightly and coughed: "I'm not afraid of Su Jin, I don't want Madam to be suspicious. Especially Aunt Mu. They have always thought that I am easy to satisfy, not greedy, and even have no desires. So, Even if my nephew is gone, they shouldn't have any intentions. It's one thing to be sad, but they don't want to see the trouble."
Ji Jun silently said that this was the case in this era. Women in the back house, especially those who were servants, should not have any demands. Even if there are demands, they must be within the scope allowed by the host family.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads. I just want to hug Yang's thigh, so I can't easily ignore her wishes. No matter how reluctant I am, I have to go to the Buddhist hall. What's more, Aunt Zhuo's wealth and life are almost entirely in the hands of Hong Peiju and Yang.
Aunt Zhuo took out a purse from her sleeve, handed it to Ji Jun and said, "Miss Ji, Su Jin has no good intentions in asking you to go to the Buddhist hall."
Ji Jun took it and expressed his approval with his eyes.
A wise man speaks happily! You see, she didn't even ask Su Jin why she was looking for her! Nothing good happens anyway!
Aunt Zhuo added: "Su Jin has endless tricks to do harm to people, so you have to be careful. All I can think of is that she might give you drugs or incense and other shady things. Because, in the past, there was a maid who disobeyed Xiang Lin. Master, she drugged that maid. There are several spices and drugs in this purse, which are kept very carefully by Su Jin. I tried my best to get some. "
Ji Jun opened his purse and found several small cloth bags inside. He opened one of the small cloth bags and found that the poisonous insects on his body were motionless, so Ji Jun closed it and put it in his sleeve. I plan to go back and study it slowly.
"But Su Jin has a relatively sturdy box. Put it together with these objects. I guess it may be a rare or overbearing drug or other means of harming people." Aunt Zhuo spoke concisely and to the point.
Ji Jun nodded and said, "Auntie, please be more considerate! I have asked my family to make many copies of your nephew's portrait, and I am asking about it. Auntie, please be patient."
You are happy and so am I!
Aunt Zhuo smiled bitterly: "Thank you, Miss! I am patient! To be honest, I have found so many people looking for my nephew, but Miss Zhuo's actions are reliable! Those people took money and patted their chests and said they would do their best. , and then there was nothing more! It was only when I met the eldest lady that I remembered that these people didn’t want my nephew’s portrait, they didn’t ask about the address of my nephew’s classmates, and they didn’t even ask what my nephew looked like, whether he was fat or thin. , white or black. I only said that I knew the detective from Dali Temple and the high official from the Ministry of Punishment. Alas, I was deceived without knowing it. Now, I finally met the eldest lady who didn’t deal with me. I, just... once... …, I can feel more at ease.”
Aunt Zhuo's eyes turned red when she said this.
The strong grass refused to die with the wind, she lost her son, and there was no news from her nephew. She also had no strong natal family to rely on. A weak woman relied on her unwillingness to survive in this extremely cold back house.
She and her cousin are so much better than her, there is no reason to give in easily!
"By the way, miss, you have to think carefully about what is your weak spot that you are most afraid of others catching. Su Jin is best at stepping on other people's most painful areas, and she will do whatever it takes!" Aunt Zhuo suddenly warned her sternly, " The treasure ropes around the previous madam can be manipulated by her, so you have to carefully control the people around you and Miss Ji. Please note that it is difficult to guard against domestic thieves!"
Ji Jun was shocked when he heard this. She could think of some of the points Aunt Zhuo said, but none of them were as deep or far-reaching as Aunt Zhuo thought.
Sure enough, the people who know you best are your enemies!
