Chapter 54 Retribution (4)

　　"Oh, you...you...why are you crying?" It's her who should cry, okay? She was the one who was hit with a board and was so painful that she couldn't get off the ground, okay? Thinking this in her mind, Liu Lu reached out her hand and pulled Zhi Fan, who was standing by the bed. As soon as she pulled, Zhi Fan opened her hand. She pulled again, and Zhi Fan hit her again. This was repeated several times, but Liu Lu couldn't help it. He was not angry, but softened his tone, "Aren't you living a good life now? That time the eldest lady asked me who it would be better to take to the palace. I said you all have to go. The eldest lady didn't object. You went to the palace. That's a companionship, which is more noble than having a child at home, so why do you need to worry about being sent out of the house? "

Zhi Fan was really impressed by what he said. He sat down by the bed, stopped crying, and asked half-heartedly, "Are you serious about what you said?"

"I lied to you, can you give me a tael of silver?" Liu Lu pretended to be angry.

"Pfft--" Zhi Fan burst into tears and laughed, but his green eyes dimmed, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. My father is a gambler, and I have lost all the valuable things in the family. I'm here The only meaning of our family's existence is to help my brother find a way out for my younger brother. My mother originally planned for me to marry the eldest lady and wait for the opportunity to be my uncle's maid, but I have never met my uncle and I don't know about my uncle. What does he look like? If he has a fat head and big ears, I will be sick to death if I have **** with him?"

"Pfft-haha..." Zhi Fan's stomach hurt from laughing, and it took him a long time to hold back the look in Liu Lu's eyes like killing a pig, "My aunt... My aunt is quite good-looking! I'm not going to lie to you, this aunt is the best I've ever seen. The most handsome man! Well... the eldest young master is strong and handsome, and the second young master is handsome, but they are not as good as my uncle! And my uncle is so brave! Last time the eldest lady and I were almost bitten by a bat, it was my uncle who saved us. ! If your mother asks you to be a concubine, I will definitely be a good man! "I am very happy and elated!

Liu Lu thought of Shui Minyu again, and sighed quietly, "Although you are lonely, no one forces you to be a concubine. If you are lucky, you can come to the palace to ask for a favor from the eldest lady, and it is not a bad idea to marry into an innocent family. I have no way out in this life. Sooner or later, my mother will have to sell her."

This time, Zhifan comforted Liulu again: "Don't be discouraged, work steadily, and of course someone will see how good you are! Don't say any depressing words!" Zhifan smiled and took out a bottle of wound ointment from his sleeve. , lifted up Liu Lu's mattress again, Liu Lu was startled, "What are you doing?"

“Give you some medicine!” Zhi Fan patted her **** with almost no force. Liu Lu still winced in pain and cursed sternly, “You are seeking death, little hoof! Watch out for me to beat you!”

Zhi Fan glared at her: "It's easy to change a country's nature but hard to change it! Your bad mouth will kill you sooner or later!" He dipped his hand in the ointment and lightly applied it on Liu Lu's affected area.

Liu Lu gasped in pain: "Get out! I don't want you to apply medicine on me!" She turned her head to struggle.

Zhi Fan held her down and said, "Be honest!"

 “Tell you to get out!”

　　“If you don’t behave honestly again, I will plug your mouth with smelly socks!”

"you dare?"

 “Do you think I dare?”

 …

The heavy rain lasted for three days before it cleared up. Water from several lakes in the mansion overflowed and flooded three or two medium-sized courtyards. Everything was fine in Shangshu Mansion, except that the terrain was too low.

Shui Linglong spread out the rice paper and began to practice calligraphy, but she was thinking carefully about what gift to give to the third princess. Without the third princess, Zhang Yuanjian would not have come to Shangshu Mansion at all. How could she repay such a huge favor? Woolen cloth?

"Miss! It's not good!" Zhi Fan hurriedly opened the curtain and came in. A gust of cold wind blew in and blew away the papers on the two desks. Zhi Fan's face changed, he hurriedly picked up the papers, knelt down and presented He gave it to Shui Linglong, "I'm sorry, I was reckless!"

 It is indeed reckless! So unruly! Shui Linglong took the paper and said calmly: "What happened?"

"Aunt Feng...Aunt Feng hanged herself!" Zhi Fan looked horrified.

“Dead?” Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows.

Zhi Fan was startled. Isn’t the eldest lady very close to Aunt Feng in private? Why are you not nervous at all after hearing this news? Her throat slipped: "The rescue has come! Now I'm kneeling in Fushouyuan, waiting for the old lady to say what I want. I don't know the specific reason."

Shui Linglong glanced at her: "Kneel down for an hour and then get up."

Zhi Fan lowered his head: "Yes!"

Shui Linglong took Ye Mao to Fushouyuan. In the bright hall, the old lady was sitting upright. Qin Fangyi and Shui Lingxi were also there. This was the first time Qin Fangyi took the initiative to step into the old lady's yard since the Chinese New Year. Qin Fangyi's face was covered with thick makeup and rouge, but it was inferred from her dull eyes that she was not living a comfortable life these days.

Aunt Lan stood respectfully aside, Shui Lingyu and Shui Lingqing knelt beside Aunt Feng respectively, and Shui Minhui sat next to the old lady, staring at the frail Aunt Feng with a complicated expression.

 “Grandma! Mother!” Shui Linglong bowed to the two of them in a polite manner.

 The old lady said seriously: "Sit down." But she didn't ask her to sit next to her as before.

Shui Lingxi smiled with satisfaction, feeling a sense of victory, but with a casual glance, she caught a hint of a playful smile on the corner of Shui Linglong's mouth, and her heart suddenly shuddered inexplicably! It seems like something bad is about to happen! But she quickly denied this ominous premonition. Ever since she and the prince confirmed their marriage, she had never caused any trouble for Shui Linglong. Shui Linglong should be... grateful to her!

Qin Fangyi sighed with regret: "Aunt Feng, don't think that you can escape investigation by hanging yourself. I advise you to explain clearly and don't let others torture you."

Shui Lingqing cried and said, "No... it's not like this... Mother, it must not be like this..."

The old lady was obviously angry to a certain extent. She slapped the table and shouted: "Shut up! If you cry again, I will lock you in the Buddhist hall!"

Shui Lingqing was startled and bit her lip, not daring to cry anymore!

Shui Linglong's inquiring gaze swept across the ashen-faced Aunt Feng and Shui Minhui with complicated eyes, and asked softly: "What's wrong with Aunt Feng?"

Qin Fangyi said in a strange tone: "You don't know yet, but the clothes the second young master is wearing were sewn by Aunt Feng stitch by stitch!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady glared at her! Qin Fangyi closed her mouth angrily, but the smile in her eyes remained for a long time.

Shui Linglong took in Qin Fangyi's gloating and misfortune, and then she said calmly: "Aunt Feng is the third young master's concubine, sewing a piece of clothing is no big deal, besides..."

“Oh, not only the coat, but also the middle coat, underwear and trousers were all made by Aunt Feng with one stitch at a time. This is really... considerate!” An aunt, considerate and elegant young master, this... is very easy to make people think! Qin Fangyi was happy in her heart, but she said sadly on her face, "When something like this happened, I was the first one to come down to the stage. Aunt Feng was my dowry maid. I only let her and the master because of her honesty and duty. We got married, and when she got pregnant, I made her an aunt. I gave her enough respect, but I didn’t expect that she would do such an unsightly thing!”

Shui Minhui argued: "Mother! It's not what you think! Aunt Feng was favored by Aunt Tong in the past, so she took good care of me."

As soon as these words came out, the old lady's expression changed. At that time, Aunt Feng and Aunt Tong were informed of their pregnancy at the same time. Aunt Feng had a gentle temperament and was very loved by Shui Hangge. Aunt Tong, because she was her niece, She bullies Aunt Feng a lot, will she give Aunt Feng a favor? A fantasy!

Shui Minhui looked at the old lady's increasingly gloomy expression, and her heart suddenly sank! Did he say the wrong thing?

Shui Linglong stared suspiciously. She definitely didn't believe that Aunt Feng had such thoughts about Shui Minhui, but she also found it a bit hard to believe that Aunt Feng was kind to Shui Minhui because of Aunt Tong's favor. Shui Lingqing said a few days ago that Aunt Feng was very busy and always locked herself in the house, fearing that she would not have time to make spring clothes for her. I guess Aunt Feng was busy preparing the clothes Shui Minhui would wear after going to school. He actually valued Shui Minhui more than Shui Lingqing!

Qin Fangyi said with a smile: "Minhui, it's not my mother who attacked you. What your aunt hated most during her lifetime was Aunt Feng. Your aunt wanted to get rid of the piece of meat in Aunt Feng's belly, so how could she be kind to her?"

Shui Minhui’s face... instantly turned pale! If you are not Aunt Tong’s friend, why are you so nice to him?

Qin Fangyi raised her hand and touched the red gold necklace on her bun. Suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She looked at Shui Minhui and then at Aunt Feng. She sat up straight and asked, "Minhui, Aunt Feng just recently." Is it good for you, or is it better for you to urinate?”

"Recently! My maid has only been nice to the second young master recently! The second young master didn't know about it! It was all the maid who tricked the second young master!" We can't... we can't let them discover this secret! She would rather die than let her secret be exposed to others!

Shui Minhui was stunned, why did you lie? Also, the "good" in mother's and your words seems to be different from what I understand? You...what are you talking about?

Aunt Feng kowtowed heavily: "Old lady...servant..."

"I asked Aunt Feng to make clothes for Minhui!" Shui Linglong interrupted Aunt Feng and looked at the old lady, with tears flashing in her eyes, "Because in the whole house, Minhui and I are the only ones who have never been married. Mother's child! When I see Minhui, I will think of the lonely and helpless days in Zhuangzi, one year! My mother has only been gone for a year, and I feel like I am living in **** every day. I can't eat enough. It doesn’t matter if you don’t wear warm clothes, I just want my mother to be smiling and sitting on the bedside every day when I open my eyes..."

Big tears slid down her cheeks, "I don't know how Minhui survived these ten years... I just wanted to be nice to him, but I was afraid that he wouldn't accept it, so I asked Aunt Feng to , is this... wrong? When I was calling Tian Tian Ying and Di Di not working, I hoped that someone would suddenly treat me well! "

 The old lady turned her face away and shed a tear.

Shui Minhui's eyes turned red and he felt like crying.

Shui Lingxi dropped a few drops of golden beans in line with the sensational scene.

Qin Fangyi glanced at Shui Linglong with hatred: "If Aunt Feng didn't have any evil intentions in her heart, why did she hang herself?"

Aunt Feng’s heart was shocked! Lowering her head, she glanced at Shui Linglong out of the corner of her eye. Shui Linglong picked up the teacup, covered her mouth with her sleeves, said a few words silently, and made gestures. Aunt Feng's eyes lit up, she kowtowed hurriedly, and said as if she were dead: "My maid... My maid can't stand the fact that the fifth lady is marrying Governor Jiang!"

The old lady's hand shook, and the tea was all over the table: "What did you say? Who told you that the fifth lady was going to marry Governor Jiang?"

Aunt Feng gritted her teeth and said: "Last time, Aunt Zhou heard that the Fourth Miss would marry Governor Jiang, so she took the risk and plotted against Madam! But she never expected that the plan failed and she was grounded instead! Now the Fourth Miss has become the Emperor's treasure. Man, the only one left to marry Governor Jiang is Miss Wu! How sad, my maid! She couldn’t bear this blow, so she did something stupid..."

 “How would you know?”

"At that time, the maid was outside the garden and vaguely heard the conversation between the two maids. It was too far away to make it clear. However, she heard the words about marrying the fourth lady to Governor Jiang. The maid wanted to After informing Aunt Zhou, I heard Aunt Zhou's heart-wrenching cry coming from the garden. The maid didn't see her appearance clearly, but she only knew that her voice was very young. "

The old lady was furious: "Nonsense! Bring Aunt Zhou to me! I want to see who she listened to!" The last time Shui Linglong mentioned this to her, she hadn't quite forgotten it, and now she almost Qin Fangyi shuddered when her son died!

Three quarters of an hour later, Aunt Zhou walked in with a full belly. She was conceived by Shui Linglong on the day she returned home. If Shui Linglong hadn't angered Shui Hange, Shui Hangge would have temporarily changed his mind and left Changlexuan instead. If she loses her house, it's still up to her whether she will have a baby. She glanced at Shui Linglong with a complicated expression and bowed respectfully to the old lady: "My maid, please give my regards to the old lady."

"Give me a seat." The old lady gestured, and Mrs. Wang moved a stool for Aunt Zhou to sit down. The old lady went straight to the point, "Where did you hear about the marriage between the Fourth Miss and Governor Jiang?"

"I can't see the exact appearance. When the maid chased her out, there were only two figures left. The direction they left seemed to be... Changlexuan!" In fact, Aunt Zhou didn't see clearly, but the eldest lady warned her that if one day I When people asked, she would answer like this.

Qin Fangyi's figure swayed, and there was panic in her eyes: "That's nonsense! How can the maid of Changlexuan say such things everywhere?"

Only Qin Fangyi, Shui Hangge and the old lady in the house knew about this marriage. The old lady originally thought that the news was leaked from her own yard, but now Aunt Zhou has testified, combined with Aunt Zhou's false accusation of Qin Fangyi and Shui Lingyue to seduce the emperor. The old lady had no idea whether Qin Fangyi was the initiator of the unusual behavior! The anger in the old lady's heart suddenly burned. If this vicious woman hadn't provoked the trouble, how could her daughter have messed up Shui Lingyue's plan? She wished she could... divorce her!

The old lady pointed at Qin Fangyi's nose, her cold eyes were like the ferocious glare of a beast, bloodthirsty and cruel: "You can't even discipline a maid! From now on, you stay in the yard for me to reflect! Without my permission, You are not allowed to step out of Changlexuan! If you dare to disobey my order, don't blame me for having your legs broken!"

  Is this to... prohibit her feet? How could this be? ! She is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's palace! She is the wife of the Minister of Rites again! She is also the mother of the Crown Princess! How could the old lady restrain her feet? And threatened to break her legs? ! Is this old woman crazy?

"Grandma..." Shui Lingxi wanted to intercede on behalf of Qin Fangyi. Who knew this ban would be in the Year of the Monkey, and if the old lady never let go, what would happen if her aunt was not with her on her wedding day? !

Shui Lingxi's eyes flashed and she said, "Grandma, the third princess is hosting a banquet and if mother is banned, who will take us there?"

The old lady banged the table hard, frightening everyone's hearts and asking: "Am I dead?"
