Chun Tang shook her head like a rattle, then stopped and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "Aunt Du's embroidery is better than the younger one. [No pop-up novel website]" She knew that her wife didn't like Aunt Du, but she just She was asked to take on the role of the best embroiderer in the house, but she didn't dare to do it.
Xu Nuo nodded thoughtfully. The Du family started out as a silk maker, and later started a dyeing business. They also opened a shop selling ready-made clothes and several embroidery workshops. There are many embroiderers in the family, so Aunt Du is a good embroiderer.
Then I thought that the lady who taught piano and the lady who taught embroidery today both mentioned Xu Qian, and their words were nothing but praise.
Xu Qian can master anything that a girl in a boudoir should learn. No wonder Ding is worried that Xu Qian will steal Xu Erniang's limelight.
The soft sound of "dong dong dong" came from the outer room, and Xu Nuo immediately opened his eyes, which were very bright.
"You go out and rest, I'll take a nap." Xu Nuo turned over as he spoke.
Chuntang thought Xu Nuo was unhappy because of what happened today, so she hummed softly, and then quietly walked out.
As soon as Chuntang left, Xu Nuo got up immediately, walked two steps and came back to pack snacks from the table, then went to the back window, opened the window, and turned out.
Hitting the wall with a stone was the secret code for her and Qiyue's agreement.
"Madam!" Qi Qiyue didn't expect the promise to come out so quickly, and was very surprised.
"Say it, keep your voice down." Xu Nuo squatted at the foot of the wall, looking up at Qi Qi with rosy cheeks.
Qi Qiyue nodded, squatted down, and spoke softly: "The little one has found Huan'er. She was beaten so hard that she could stand up yesterday. I'm afraid she will be sold to Zhuangzi in a few days. You said she is greedy for money. Yes, I gave her the money you gave her and asked a few more questions, and she told her everything."
Xu Nuo nodded and motioned for Qi Qi to continue.
"She said that the fourth lady put her in your house, and you had to tell her every move there, because she often went to Yilian Court. The brother of Zijuan who was next to the fourth lady came when you and your wife caught the cold. I looked for Zicuckoo in the mansion once. The day before my wife was poisoned and mute, Zicuckoo went outside the mansion. Afraid that she might trick me, I went to Yilian Court again and asked a maidservant who had talked to me on weekdays. , she also said that Zicuckoo had been out in those few days, and begged me not to tell anyone."
Xu Nuo frowned and already had some thoughts in mind. If he was going to get medicine, he naturally wouldn't dare to ask his brother to deliver it to his door. He couldn't just ask someone to go there. It would be safer to go there in person.
Qi Qi lowered her voice again, her head almost touching Xu Nuo's ear: "I didn't know if Huan'er was extra, so I went to the side door and asked the woman guarding the door. She said that Zijuan's brother is a gambler and often comes to the house. Ask Zijuan for money." She paused here and said, "The mother-in-law also said that brother Zijuan started working in a medical clinic last year, but she didn't know which medical clinic it was."
The answer is ready to come out.
Xunuo thought for a while, took out the jade pendant given by Zhu Shang from his arms, handed it to Qiyue, and whispered: "I'll go to Aunt Li and ask Brother Zijuan what his name is. Wait for me here tomorrow morning. Let me tell you. Then immediately go to the Tiansheng Gambling House that I took you to that time, take this jade pendant to their shopkeeper Zhu Shang, and tell him what you told me. Be sure to tell him the name of Brother Zijuan. "
Qi Qiu stuffed the jade pendant into her arms as if facing an enemy, and asked doubtfully: "If I hold this, will Shopkeeper Zhu see me?"
"Didn't you see what I did that day? I just gave it to the boy. I've been asking questions from those people these days. I don't think I have any money now." Xu Nuo smiled. She gave Qi Yue money at that time. He Jewelry was still worried that Qi Qi would be reluctant to part with Hua, but judging from the information she got, it was clear that she understood this very well.
Qi Qiyue smiled coquettishly: "You know, some people's mouths need money to pry them open." She didn't expect that her wife would trust her so much, so she would do her best to get things done.
"Well, I'll give you some tomorrow to make it easier to go out. Thank you for your hard work these days." Xu Nuo smiled and took out the snacks wrapped in oil paper from his arms, "Just eat it here, take it back later, others will give it to you I thought you stole it.”
With tears in her eyes, Qiyue took the snack from Xu Nuo.
A few days later, when Xu Nuo followed Mrs. Lu to greet Mrs. Xu and Mr. Zhang, she found that the atmosphere in the room was not right.
As soon as she entered, Mrs. Zhang shouted: "You still have the nerve to come in!"
Xu Nuo frowned and looked around. In the room were only his grandfather, Zhang, Ding, and his uncle who had been busy collecting tea recently.
The eldest uncle is so busy that he doesn’t even touch the ground, so why did he come to say hello?
Xu Nuo didn't know what happened, but Lu Shi vaguely guessed it, and there was worry in her eyebrows: "Mother, Liu Niang is not that kind of person. I hope mother will find out and clear Liu Niang's name."
This matter should have been investigated long ago, but she couldn't get up due to illness, the master was not in the house, the eldest brother was busy collecting tea, and the sister-in-law was busy checking accounts and managing things in the house, so this matter was not half investigated. Stopped after getting the clue.
Xu Nuo also understood, but pretended not to know and asked in confusion: "Grandma, but I came late today and made you unhappy?" He tugged at his sleeves awkwardly as he spoke.
Mr. Xu coughed and said slowly: "Originally, this matter was a matter in our house. Your father begged me to suppress it for your reputation, so I agreed. Later, you lost your memory, so there is no need to talk about it. It's just that. , now this matter has spread outside the mansion, if nothing is done, it will only ruin the reputation of the Xu mansion."
Xu Nuo's heart gradually cooled down. She thought that this grandfather was worthy of her respect and would believe in herself like her father and mother about the mute medicine. Unexpectedly...
"Grandpa, what is going on?" Xu Nuo pretended not to understand.
Mrs. Ding stood aside with a dark face, and the sixth lady of the Xu family used medicine to poison her mother to muteness. If word of this spread outside, not only would Xu Liuniang be unable to find a good marriage, but it would also affect the second mother. Her second mother has not yet been engaged and is not young at all, but with the reputation of Xu Mansion being ruined by Xu Liu Niang, her father may not agree to the marriage between her second mother and her nephew.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ding became even more angry. She looked at Xu Nuo angrily and said fiercely: "Don't just think that you have lost your memory and can cover up your mistakes. If you do such a shameful thing, where will our Xu family's face be put? "
Xu Nuo was disdainful. These people did not investigate the origin of the matter. What reason could they have to say that they had harmed their mother with medicine? What they were worried about was not their mother at all, but the reputation of the Xu family.
Mrs. Lu remained silent until she heard what Mrs. Ding said, and she kept her promise behind her: "Sister-in-law, Liu Niang did nothing wrong, and she didn't do anything embarrassing. This matter has not been found out yet, so we cannot just accuse her like this." .As for the rumors outside, I will go out and make it clear. I will not let the Xu family be embarrassed because of me." He took the blame on himself.
