Aunt Xuan pinched a handkerchief in her hand, covered her chest and coughed, then said: "Hey girls, why are you standing here? If you blow the wind carefully, it won't be good if you catch a cold. I just blew the wind last night. Caught by the wind and cold.”
He spoke softly, his words were gentle, and he slightly bent his knees to Aunt Zhu on the side: "Aunt Zhu, Madam is back. I came here specially to apologize to Madam. I didn't feel well this morning, so I didn't dare to come. Madam, I wish you well, I'm afraid I'm over sick."
Aunt Zhu nodded. This Aunt Xuan was the birth mother of the Sixth Girl. Ever since the Sixth Girl was raised by Madam, this Aunt Xuan had been honest and obedient. She would wake up at dawn and dusk every day and serve her mistress in a well-behaved manner. On weekdays, she would stay in her room, eat, read Buddhist scriptures, and embroider some handkerchiefs and shoes for her masters. She would never cause trouble, and she was relatively gentle and generous. She was not as jealous as the other aunts. , shrewd calculation.
Because of her own honesty, the sixth girl stayed with the madam again. The madam was still satisfied with Aunt Xuan's performance over the years, so Aunt Xuan was quite famous in the White Mansion, and her actions followed her example. The slaves like them naturally respected Aunt Xuan. .
In the past, Aunt Zhu would have let Aunt Xuan in, but today it was not possible.
"Madam is tired today and is resting. Auntie, please come back tomorrow!"
Aunt Xuan was a little disappointed, but she nodded and helped the girl away.
Seeing Aunt Xuan walking out of the door, Aunt Zhu frowned and turned around and entered the house.
In the room, Ms. Lu was leaning on the imperial concubine chair and taking a nap with her eyes closed. When she saw Nanny Zhu coming in, she frowned and asked, "Who is here?"
"It's Aunt Xuan." Aunt Zhu saw that the soothing incense burning on the incense table was about to die out, so she walked over and took off the cover and took off the hairpin on her head to fiddle with it. With her familiar movements, the cigarette started to curl up. .
Since the death of the eighth girl, Madam has been suffering from headaches. Whenever she is worried, she will use this soothing incense to relieve her.
"What's she doing here?" Madam Lu asked, her voice sounding a little weak. It was obvious that Xing Lin and his party were still angry.
"I said I was caught in the cold last night and missed Good Morning, so I came here specifically to apologize." Aunt Zhu said, but she felt a little unnatural in her heart, always feeling that something was strange.
"She knows the rules." Mrs. Lu snorted without raising her eyes. She held the concubine close to her and raised her. In order to give the sixth girl face, she naturally promoted Aunt Xuan, her biological mother. Fortunately, she had also Even if she is safe and disciplined, she always respects her as the mistress.
Aunt Zhu walked behind Mrs. Lu and massaged Mrs. Lu's temples skillfully, gently, and said with a smile: "Aunt Xuan has always been an honest person, and the sixth girl she gave birth to is also well-behaved and sensible."
Aunt Zhu is Lu's concubine and has always served her master. She also knows Aunt Xuan very well. In her eyes, Aunt Xuan has always had a non-competitive temperament and is gentle and kind in her words and deeds.
If Aunt Zhu had spoken like this on a normal day, Mrs. Lu would not have refuted it, but now after learning that Bai Ruowei and Xiao Yu had a quarrel, and Xiao Ming hinting to them overtly or secretly that the Bai family was not at peace, Mrs. Lu's mind changed.
"Humph! Some people may look honest on the surface, but they hide traitors on the inside." When mentioning Aunt Xuan, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but sit up straight, looked back at Aunt Zhu and asked, "How many people know about my leaving the house today?" ?”
Aunt Zhu reacted quickly, and her heart trembled. Who knew? Only she, the old woman, knew the true purpose of Madam leaving the house today. The two eldest girls and the two bearers only knew that Madam was going out today, but they didn't know that it was for the eighth girl.
"Only this old slave knows, madam, what's going on?"
"Nothing?" Mrs. Lu's expression relaxed and turned down, and she just said: "She came as soon as I came back. Does she know something?"
"No way! Maybe it's a coincidence." Aunt Zhu pressed the button for Mrs. Lu again, but her heart was agitated. Only Mrs. Lu and she knew about her visit to Xinglin today. Could it be that Mrs. Lu was suspicious of her?
Aunt Zhu felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She had always been a loyal person.
"This is too coincidental." Mrs. Lu sighed. She learned the news from her eldest son. She didn't even know about it from the old lady or the master. She went to Xinglin alone, just to see if it was true or not. I don’t want to end up rejoicing in vain.
Unexpectedly, my daughter was found, but in the end I was still overjoyed.
"We need to check this courtyard carefully to see if there are any disloyal people." Mrs. Lu said worriedly.
"Xiao Ming told me today that something happened between Wei'er and Xiao Yu. How come I don't know about it at all." Madam Lu asked, this was still a bad thing, thinking that Xiao Ming was taking advantage of this. When things didn't agree to let Xiaoyu go home, she felt uncomfortable again.
What is going on?
Aunt Zhu was even more confused and said doubtfully: "No way! How could there be a gap between the eighth girl and the sixth girl in such a remote place as Pingcheng?"
"That's why I asked the boss to come back quickly. You don't know that girl Xiao Ming actually refused to let Xiao Yu go home because of this matter."
If she couldn't handle this matter well, Xiao Ming would definitely not let Xiao Yu step into the Bai family.
"Why don't you, old slave, call Mrs. Chen and ask her? She will definitely know something when she serves Miss Six every day." Mrs. Chen is the wet nurse next to Miss Six. When Miss Six was raised by Mrs. Lu, she also Followed and served.
This matter should have been asked to the two eldest girls next to the sixth girl. They were all confidants arranged by the Lu family, but one of them was let out by the Lu family a few days ago to get married, and the other one went to Princess Linlang today. No one can be called to the mansion at the moment. Only Ms. Chen has gone home for the past two days due to family matters and is not waiting on Miss Six.
"Go, call her here quietly and lock her in the woodshed. Don't let anyone know." Mrs. Lu carefully ordered. It is definitely not a trivial matter that can make Xiao Ming care. Mrs. Lu must put this matter in order for her daughter to return home. Make things clear.
Aunt Zhu got the order and went out. The place where Chen lived was not in the mansion, but in an alley behind the Bai mansion dedicated to the Bai family servants. It would take some time to summon people.
Not long after, Bai Yehan hurried back and went to Lu's courtyard before he had time to change out of his official uniform.
But two moments later, the girls and women actually heard the sound of the cup inside breaking.
Lu even growled: "You bastard..."
The master was so angry that the girls and women were so frightened that they became silent, with cold sweat running down their backs.
What did the eldest son do? He actually made his beloved eldest son's mistress angry.
Then, Lu's suppressed crying sounded in the room, and the girls and women were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything.
Bai Yehan walked out of the inner hall with a guilty look on his face, stood in the yard, lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground.
The crying is still there.
Girls and ladies:...
Don't know what to do.
It feels like the sky is falling.
