Chapter 33: House Door Resentment 11
When Lin You arrived at the old man's yard, it was relatively late. Her yard itself was far away, and the notification was not timely enough. Therefore, she did not see the old man's body, but she saw Xu Da, who hadn't appeared in this period of time. aunt.
I saw her face covered in tears, crying out of breath, and it seemed that she was really sad for the death of the old man. As for the other people who don't know what the situation is, although their faces are solemn, they are not as emotionally exposed as the aunt's grandmother.
Of course, this wasn't the thing that surprised Lin You the most. What surprised Lin You the most was that this guy, Qu Zile, actually... didn't even let the NPCs go.
In between, Aunt Xu was crying while holding Qu Zile's hand, and Qu Zile was also wiping her tears with a handkerchief. The way he spoke softly and persuaded, I really couldn't see his original venomous character.
Lin You just glanced at it, but didn't look any further. These are not the most important things, the most important thing is... Yesterday, the old man who was fine, why did he go?
This Xu family really died one day a day.
Lin You was a little upset. On the way here, even if she concentrated on her journey, she found out that something was wrong with the Xu family's servants.
It's not as fresh as yesterday and the day before yesterday, but each one is a little bit similar to the walking dead at night. This made Lin You feel uneasy.
After all, Lin You's identity is also a watch lady, so she still has a place to sit when she arrives. The position in front of her was Bai Xue, who looked uneasy, but there was no one from the second room, and she didn't know what was going on. The third room was still as dull as it was, and the younger generation of their family was not present.
Sitting in the main seat was an uncle who Lin You had never seen before. His complexion was pale and the bruises under his eyes were heavy, and he looked unhealthy.
"Cough, everyone understands the matter of the old man."
No one spoke below, they all looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"Our Xu family, this kind of thing happened one after another, I, I really..." Speaking of which, the uncle seemed to be out of breath, and was patted on the back by the eldest lady and drank a few sips of tea before continuing to speak. .
"The Xu family is in a troubled season right now." The uncle looked at Bai Xue and Lin You, "You may not be well entertained. For the safety of the female relatives, the two nieces should not go out."
Lin You's heart skipped a beat, is this grounding herself? With this thought in mind, Lin You nodded timidly and did not defy.
Bai Xue hurriedly nodded her head again, she hadn't been out much in the past two days, and her confinement didn't have much effect on her.
It seemed that the two of them were called to come, and that was the case. The uncle said some scenes, and then he waved someone to send Lin You and Bai Xue back, and did not want to talk any more.
What surprised Lin You was that she thought that the uncle sent these outsiders away so that her family could shut the door and talk, but not only were they invited out, but the aunt from the Xu family was also invited out. .
The reason given by the uncle is as follows:
"Although they have left, she is a married woman after all. It's not easy for my sister to interfere in the affairs of the Xu family."
The uncle's words are put here, but the eldest aunt of the Xu family is not so easy to play with. She pushed away the hand of the maid who was going to support her, and stood up with the strength of Qu Zile.
"Father's bones are still cold, so my brother can't wait to reject me?" Aunt Xu flicked her sleeves, "Hmph, if it wasn't for me back then, I really don't know if your lineage would be able to survive."
This sentence is a bit heartbreaking, the whole main hall is silent, the uncle seems to be angry, and roars:
"Live? Xu Lerong needs to understand that it's just an exchange of equal value! Cough, cough, cough"
"I, my big room doesn't owe you!"
The aunt was about to speak back, but Mrs. Xu said coldly:
"What are you waiting for? The auntie is being stimulated by the death of the old man, so why don't you take the auntie down to have a look!"
In the future, the Xu family will be the head of the big house. After listening to the words of the future head mistress, those maids and old ladies rushed up to suppress Aunt Xu and led them out the door.
Lin You looked at the faces of the couple in the main room, and knew that it was not easy for him to follow the past to check the situation. If something like this happened, the Xu family's guard would naturally be much stricter.
When Lin You went out, she caught sight of Luo Qing and Liu Qishan among the servants of the Xu family. Without him, their appearance would be too vivid among the dead servants. As for Fang Nian, Lin You didn't see it, and didn't know what he did.
With Qu Zile in mind, Fang Nian, who was exchanging information again, was taken by the servants of the Xu family, saying that he would not disturb him, but he was actually sent back to the guest room on ground floor.
The aunt's side of the Xu family was also pressed and pressed back. As soon as they arrived at the aunt's yard, the servants sent the aunt's to the main room and turned around to lock the door of the small courtyard.
Bai Xue was also locked inside. She was afraid of getting into any trouble. She rolled her eyes and went back to the house immediately. It seemed that she didn't want to worry about the weird and bad outside.
Qu Zile didn't know what means to use, and was ignored all the way. He noticed that Bai Xue's movement was just shaking his head, and unconsciously compared the girl to Lin You, and sighed and threw it away.
Even if it is to give advice or help, he Quzile also thinks that his actions are useful, and Bai Xue is obviously not worth his investment.
"hateful!"
"hateful!"
...
Aunt Xu herself is old in this era, and she is usually well maintained and does not look old, but she cried so much before and was sent back in such a woeful way, she looked hideous, with blue veins on her neck Suddenly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes appeared clearly on his face, and he looked like he had aged a lot in vain.
"I am a great hero of the Xu family."
"You can't do this to me."
"Can't, can't..."
When Qu Zile got close, he heard what the aunt of the Xu family said. He raised his eyebrows, crouched down and looked at the line of sight of the aunt:
"Lerong, are you alright?"
His opening was like breaking some magic spell.
"Acheng, I'm sorry, I was wrong, can you take me away?"
"I'm sorry, Acheng, I can't help it either."
...
Listening to Aunt Xu's ramble about sorry, Qu Zile showed a playful smile. He remembered that the short-lived ghost that the aunt of the Xu family married before had the word "city" in his name.
The aunt of the Xu family was not very well married back then. She married a commoner scholar. Later, the scholar was short-lived, and the man did not have any relatives or friends in the family.
but!
The above operations, Quzile feel that there is no problem. But the child brought back by the aunt died soon after. Before he died, the old man of the Xu family kindly changed the child's surname to "Xu".
It's really meaningful, and after returning to the Xu family, the aunt of the Xu family, who should have been honest and tucked her tail between her tails, became strangely publicized. And there is a reputation for letting go and swaying.
Qu Zile was originally in the outer courtyard yesterday, but the aunt of the Xu family actually went to the outer courtyard yesterday, and flirted with a small butler openly. Qu Zile looked at how the servants of the Xu family were not surprised, and he had a bottom line in his heart.
After touching his face, Qu Zile, who was very confident in his appearance, swayed around in front of the aunt, and soon became the object of the aunt's pursuit.
Qu Zile, whose mission point is on Aunt Xu's body, naturally did not refuse Aunt Xu's pursuit, but took advantage of the situation to investigate.
I have to say that the identity of a lover is still very useful. From the mouth of the aunt of the Xu family, Qu Zile got a lot of news. This aunt of the Xu family has no brains, has an impulsive personality, and is very easy to be told.
Of course, there are some not so good places. For example, about the black spot about the aunt of the Xu family, whether it is the aunt of the Xu family or other maids and servants, they are silent about Qu Zile.
No way, Qu Zile had to ask Fang Nian and others to exchange information. Luo Qing and Liu Qishan were both servants. Luo Qing was also very eloquent, but he brought Qu Zile a lot of information about this aunt of the Xu family.
For example, after this aunt of the Xu family returned to her parents' home, she gave birth several times.
Where have those children gone?
Qu Zile naturally knows what he has in mind, so in his opinion Xu Lerong, the aunt of the Xu family, is a poisonous widow who can even take advantage of her own children. Even if she is crying in front of Qu Zile now, Qu Zile will not be soft-hearted towards her. .
"Okay, I'll take you away." Qu Zile helped her up and walked into the room. Vaguely, Qu Zile sensed the sight of the old maids in the yard who were serving the aunts of the Xu family, and sneered in her heart.
It seems that whether it is in the copy or in real life, there are always those who see the wind and the rudder.
Qu Zile was the lover of Aunt Xu's aunt, and no one said anything wrong when she was sent indoors, but as soon as she got close to the bed, Qu Zile knocked Aunt Xu unconscious with a knife.
He was impatient to coax some poisonous widow, and directly lifted the aunt to the bed, and Qu Zile began to rummage in her boudoir, but still said:
"Lerong, take a rest."
"Lerong is fine, fine, I'm here."
...
Qu Zi Le has light hands and feet, but it didn't take long for him to find what he wanted. A box full of jewelry and women's gadgets.
Of course, it's not that these jewelry and gadgets are so strange, the key is that Qu Zile can see at a glance that these things don't belong to the aunt of the Xu family.
These are all things of girls' families, and the aunt of the Xu family has long been a woman. Of course, things are a bit outdated, you can also say that they are the personal belongings of the aunt of the Xu family when she was young.
But from the observation of the past two days, Qu Zile also has some understanding of the aunt of the Xu family. She doesn't like those simple and elegant hairpin rings and head flowers, she just likes gorgeous styles.
For example, her headdress must be peony pattern, except for peony, she doesn't even like peony. Where will those little styles of lotus and plum blossoms be preserved? Unless it means something special to her.
Of course, these are just some of the factors that affect Qu Zile's judgment. The key point is that a female private thing is pressed on the bottom of the box, with a dim name embroidered on it.
Xu Leqi.
The author has something to say:
This is the perspective of Quzile, because Lin You's mission is only a branch, and it is impossible for everyone to get all the situation of the Xu family from her perspective alone, so other people's perspectives are opened
