Chapter Fourteen
This person is the second wife of Master Su Gangna, named Qin, and she is called Aunt Qin in the house.
Aunt Qin could not control the unruly slaves in the house, but it was not a problem to stand behind the Jiang family and give some ideas. She could tell who was cheating and who was responsible for this matter at a glance. Those unruly slaves could not help each other.
After pushing aside the blame and severely punishing a few troublemakers, order in the mansion became orderly.
Finally, the second young lady got on the sedan chair smoothly and left the pavilion in perfect splendor amidst the commotion.
What happens after that is less important.
When Mrs. Xu was free, she went to Su Yiqing's room to communicate with her daughter.
Seeing Mrs. Xu's cheerful and joyful expression, those who didn't know it thought she was marrying her daughter today. Lala Zaza talked about the liveliness of the uncle's house and how Mrs. Cen's face looked ugly. She was neither sad nor happy. She followed Mrs. Tai.
I went to take a look at Mrs. Qu's room. I saw that Ms. Qu was just lying on the bed without saying a word and could only shed tears. In comparison, the rest of the people in the second room were so proud.
There were some things that Su Yiqing was not comfortable saying to Aunt Zhou, but she didn't have so many scruples to Mrs. Xu. Seeing Mrs. Xu talking incessantly, she didn't want to see her gloating about her misfortune, so she changed the topic and asked
He said: "Mom, the second sister has blocked the eldest sister's marriage. What will the eldest sister do in the future?"
Generally speaking, there are many cases where sisters are easy to marry among the people, but that is among the people, where the conflicts of interests are not so big and there are more choices. There is no Zhang family and Li family, so a more dowry in the future will not be much different.
But the Xungui family is different. This marriage is already a high priority for the Yuanping family, and it is impossible to find a better one.
This incident has a great impact on Su Yirong's reputation. It's okay to say that the marriage has not been officially confirmed, but who in the capital doesn't know that the marriage has been scheduled for two years? Although it is an emergency situation, only the people in the uncle's house know about it.
Outsiders don't know the inside story, so they can't help but make some guesses. Is this just an excuse? After all, the marriage has been arranged long ago. If Miss Su is fine and has just injured her leg, she can recover in a month or two.
, why bother to change relatives?
The eldest lady is the eldest daughter of the Zhengbo family. Her father is Yuanping Bo. Although the second lady is also the legitimate daughter, her father is only the second son. After the family is separated two years later, she is the daughter of an ordinary official family and cannot be compared with the eldest lady.
Yes, there is really no problem. You can wait a few months or simply move the eldest daughter over to raise her for two months before consummating the marriage.
There are even many girls in the uncle's house who are concubines or side branches. It is not impossible to marry them as concubines and pay homage on their behalf. Why do they have to change?
Everyone talks about money, but Su Yirong would have a hard time finding a decent family in the capital.
Mrs. Xu chuckled: "Your eldest sister is unlucky, what else can you do? Find someone with a lower family background, or even marry someone who is not in the capital."
"But, this would be too unfair to my elder sister." Su Yiqing truly felt sorry for Su Yirong. Although from her modern point of view, marrying someone with a lower family background may not necessarily be a bad thing. Don't bully young people who are poor. Who can guarantee that a disciple from a poor family will be better off?
One day when there is no future in ten years? With the way Prince Kang's house behaves, there will definitely be no happiness in marrying. It would be better if the marriage cannot be consummated.
This is the truth, but if it happens to her, she won't be able to bear it. It is said that the prince of Kangjun is very good in character, talent and learning, and is one of the best among the aristocratic children in the capital. The eldest sister even secretly met the prince of Kangjun.
On the one hand, I am very enamored.
Mrs. Xu said calmly: "Everything that has a cause has a result. There is retribution in this world. Outsiders say that I cruelly killed so many concubines who abused their husbands, but I always said it first, and no one is allowed to do so.
Those cheap maids knew that a concubine would give birth to a child, and they promised well at first. However, within two days of wearing the silk and satin, they became wild. Who can blame you? Who knows what kind of misfortune your eldest sister may have suffered?
?”
Su Yiqing stopped talking. Many times, people are forced to do evil by reality.
Mrs. Xu looked at her disapproval and suddenly lowered her voice: "Did you know that the place where your eldest sister fell was near the well where Rui'er fell?"
Su Yiqing's heart skipped a beat. Speaking of Rui'er alone, she might not be able to remember who it was, but if she had to throw herself into a well, who else could it be? It was the maid who died in the Ming Ge'er incident. Seeing Xu's intention,
Pointing, she couldn't help but said: "Is it a coincidence?"
If there is really an evil soul, Su Yirong should not be approached. Although there are many suspicious people about Brother Ming, it is definitely not Su Yirong. If this matter becomes big, the reputation of the Yuanping Mansion will be damaged, and the first person to bear the brunt will be Su Yirong.
She wanted to marry Su Yirong from a high-ranking family, so she had absolutely no motive.
Xu said coolly: "Maybe, a few days ago, I heard from the little maid below that I heard someone singing nearby. The singing was very sad, and they said it was Rui'er's wronged soul. However, these things only happened to those ignorant little people.
There is a rumor among the maids that if you get scolded by the housekeeper, you'll be done with it. Who dares to spread rumors about such a happy day?"
Haunting, this is indeed the most likely scenario for unjust cases. It was just vaguely heard and no one saw it. It is certain that there is someone behind the incident. If someone is unjust because of this, there will be rumors about ghosts and the like.
Come on, it's not surprising.
"Are you scared?" Xu asked suddenly.
Su Yiqing subconsciously wanted to shake her head. She didn't really believe in this theory of retribution, but thinking about her identity at this time, she nodded involuntarily.
Mrs. Xu chuckled again: "It is said that a good daughter is like a mother. Similarly, a daughter is also a caring little cotton-padded jacket for her mother. Do you still think that your mother did this to Brother Ming?"
Su Yiqing shook her head firmly this time, not that she believed Mrs. Xu, but it was just the second time that Mrs. Xu asked so bluntly, how else could she answer?
Mrs. Xu smiled again. Judging from that smile, she probably didn't believe Su Yiqing's answer.
After sitting for a while, Mrs. Xu left.
Su Yiqing listened to the conversation for a long time, and then suddenly realized that Mrs. Xu was actually implying that Mrs. Qu was responsible for what happened to Brother Ming, and now the retribution was on her daughter.
Maybe it wasn't just the Xu family, but Su Yirong fell so hard and so hard, and the place where Rui'er threw herself into the well was nearby, I'm afraid many people in the house had such associations.
Sure enough, as Su Yiqing expected, within two days, the idea of revenge for wronged souls swept across the Yuanping Mansion like a spark that started a prairie fire.
Because of Mr. Qu's illness, Mr. Jiang temporarily took charge of the internal affairs. Perhaps it was intentional, or maybe Chu Chu was not skilled in managing things in the house. In short, he could not suppress the rumors from the beginning, so that they became more and more serious.
When the news reached the ears of Mrs. Cen, Mrs. Cen became furious and rushed to the bedside of Mrs. Qu in a blink of an eye.
Of course, even if Mrs. Cen, a noble lady like Mrs. Cen, gets angry, she won't open her mouth and scold her like a street shrew. She will just push away the rest of the people around her, leaving only two personal nuns.
