In the spring before the first wife's return to the hall

Chapter 74

Seeing Jin Jingyi and Tan Qiuyin helping Mrs. Tai into the house, Jin'er did not follow in immediately, but stopped outside the door.

She wanted to send Min'er siblings away: ask them to get some food for them, and tell them to go to bed early: only come in after the arrangements are made, so she didn't hear Mrs. Tai's reproach to Tan Qiuyin.

Seeing Jin'er coming in, Mrs. Tai sighed again, she didn't know that Jin'er was right, but because Jin'er made Jin's family have no peace, even going to the county lord's place for a meal was so out of control.

It's not about Xiu'er's death, but one day she is in the Jin family, the name of the Jin family's mistress is not easy to determine, not only the county head will ask, but who in the city's rich and powerful families will not ask a question .

As for, when people visit the mansion, they know who to turn to, and when they come and go during the holidays, do they know who to send the gift list to?
But tonight, Jin'er didn't have the same knowledge as Tan Qiuyin, but instead said goodbye directly, she was protecting the face of the Jin family, and she also understood.

"Sit down." Although she didn't give Jin'er a good face, this was the first time; where would Jin'er have a seat in front of her?

The corners of Tan Qiuyin's eyes twitched slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything: mother-in-law is mother-in-law, not her own mother, if you make a mistake, you will be embarrassed immediately.

Jin'er didn't have any special reaction, she answered and sat down: "Is Xiu'er dead or not?" She opened the mouth and brought the matter to the point.

Jin Jingyi was also very surprised by this point: "Didn't Xiu'er die a few years ago? What happened to Xiu'er that Nongqin talked about? Someone lied to me about Xiu'er's death a few years ago—— Why?"

He didn't know why he lied to him that Xiu'er was dead, and thinking of Jin'er's assassination five years ago, he couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.

Of course, he would not be suspicious of Mrs. Tai, because she was his biological mother, so naturally he would not deceive him on purpose; someone must have deceived Mrs. Tai.

Tan Qiuyin took the bird's nest from the girl's hand, opened it, blew on the hot air, and took a spoon to taste; she handed the used spoon to the girl, and replaced it with a clean spoon, she smiled: "Ma'am, it's just right."

"It's not hot anymore, and it's not so sweet; I let people dry it to make honey instead of sugar, which is more nourishing; it has been stewed all afternoon, and I stewed it at noon, it is the best official swallow. "

Mrs. Tai took the bird's nest and looked at Tan Qiuyin and couldn't help but sigh: "It was given to you by your own mother again, why don't you eat it for an old woman like me?"

"I've eaten it. It was specially made for my mother-in-law. Of course, if you have good things, you should honor your elders. This is what you should do." After Tan Qiuyin finished speaking, she asked Mrs. Tai to use bird's nest again.

Mrs. Tai didn't say any more, she was really a little hungry, so she ate the bird's nest first.

Because the elders were eating, both Jin Jingyi and Jin'er could only keep their mouths shut and neither of them spoke: no matter how many questions there were, they could only wait for Mrs. Tai to finish eating.

Mrs. Tai was not very happy eating, she was also thinking about things in her heart, and eating bird's nest was just to have more time to think.

When Mrs. Tai was the only one in the room eating bird's nest, occasionally the small spoon would lightly touch the bowl with a crisp sound.

Finally Mrs. Tai finished eating, Tan Qiuyin waited for Mrs. Tai to wash her mouth and hands, and then offered a cup of tea before she raised her head to look at Jin Jingyi, and then at Jin'er.

"Xiu'er is Xiu'er by your side. She is dead now. Does Mrs. Mu think that she can breathe a sigh of relief?" Tan Qiuyin's voice was less sharp, but still very pleasant. .

It's just that what he said really didn't make people happy: "The Xiu'er who escaped the catastrophe was in Kaiyuan City without dying; and of course she also knew about Mrs. Mu's return to the Jin Mansion."

"However, she asked someone to bring me a message this afternoon, saying that Mrs. Mu in the Golden Mansion is not the real Mu Jin'er."

"Mrs. Mu now understands—she is the closest person to Mrs. Mu. Even if you can hide it from everyone in the world, can you still hide it from her?"

"Now Mrs. Mu still wants to pretend, but now no one will tell Mrs. Mu that a master will not be afraid of a girl; you, stop pretending, you dare not see Xiu'er, because you are a fake. "

She finished speaking in one breath, feeling a burst of relief in her heart: "Master, Xiu'er's words can't be false, Mrs. Mu is already dead, she died at the hands of those thieves, innocent..."

She stopped talking here but everyone could understand the implication, Jin Jingyi frowned, and Mrs. Tai also looked at Tan Qiuyin with some displeasure.

Mrs. Tai also knew about Xiu'er's life, but thinking about what Xiu'er said at the beginning, there are really loopholes.

Mrs. Tai really didn't want Jin'er to stay in Jinfu, but she could use her innocence to force Jin'er, but she didn't want to hear others, especially Tan Qiuyin say: She really didn't want her daughter-in-law to be evil.

A good person, she still likes a good person to be her daughter-in-law and the mistress of the Jin family; even if she does evil things, she doesn't want the people around her to be evil people: she is not a evil person in the first place, at least she thinks so.

Treating Jin'er so cruelly is just because she was forced to die; she didn't want Jin'er to die, but just wanted to keep the peace of the Jin Mansion and her son's future, so she would naturally give Jin'er a sum of gold and silver so that It is fed and clothed.

The most important thing is that she also knew about the letter that Xiu'er sent, just because she believed in Xiu'er a little bit, she wanted to check it out again, and don't act rashly, but in the end, Jin'er got the upper hand.

Even more so, she couldn't move a single hair of Jin'er: this was the lesson she learned from being an enemy of Jin'er.

But I don't want Xiu'er to send a letter to Tan Qiuyin, it should be the same: Xiu'er never mentioned Jin'er's innocence.

Although, if what Xiu'er said is true, then Jin'er may not only be dead but also innocent, but Xiu'er did not say it clearly. At this time, Tan Qiuyin added such a sentence to slander Jin'er through Xiu'er's mouth.

Jin'er just looked at Tan Qiuyin, and then she looked at Jin Jingyi: "You just listen like this?" The truth of the innocence has come to light, because the King of Zhennan has proved it, that is iron proof.

She didn't want to argue with people endlessly about this matter, so she didn't want to speak.

Jin Jingyi looked at Tan Qiuyin: "Why didn't you tell me about such a thing first, why didn't you let me go to see Xiu'er, but said so after Xiu'er died?"

Tan Qiuyin met Jin Jingyi's eyes after hearing the words: "Do you just trust her like that, and not Xiu'er? Xiu'er is the girl next to her, the closest person to her..."

"I'm Jin'er's closest person. Do you think I can admit mistakes even to the person next to me?" Jin Jingyi interrupted her, and Tan Qiuyin's face turned pale with a light sentence.

Mrs. Tai couldn't listen anymore, seeing Tan Qiuyin's face changed and anger emerged, knowing that she would have no good words to say: "Xiu'er said, Jin'er's leg was broken by someone, it is impossible to go all the way. Walk back to Kaiyuan."

She looked at Jin'er: "What can you say?"

Jin'er stood up: "I have nothing to say, because everything can be repeated but not repeated; since I returned to the mansion, you have repeatedly suspected that I am not Jin'er."

"It's just that you really suspect that I'm not Jin'er, or are you saying that the Jin family can't tolerate me, and that the Jin family can no longer let someone from the Han family take the name of mistress?!"

"It's something everyone knows, so what if I say more? Today you can find a Xiu'er who died long ago, who knows who will be found to testify against me tomorrow?"

She straightened her back: "I followed here just to ask about Xiu'er, not to confront you about the truth or falsehood. It's getting late, Mrs. Tai should rest earlier."

"Tan Madam, think more about the child in your womb, and accumulate more sinister virtues. Mu Jin'er's innocence can be proved by the sky, and no one will allow anyone to stain her in the slightest."

After Jin'er finished speaking, she turned around and left: "Jing Yi," she purposely called out so affectionately: "Please ask me about Xiu'er, and we can talk about it when you come over later."

Jin Jingyi sighed lightly: "Don't be too angry." Just one sentence is enough, and he never doubted it.

Tan Qiuyin stood up angrily: "Master, there is nothing wrong with her legs, can't you see it? Xiu'er said..."

"Is what Xiuer said true?" Jin Jingyi looked at her: "She can come back to life after death, she lied to me five years ago, how can I believe what she said now?"

"The words of Lord Zhennan could be false. If there are false words, why would the high-ranking prince lie for a person like Jin'er? What good would there be?"

He looked at Mrs. Tai: "Mother, what happened to Xiu'er? Didn't you say that she died after a serious illness? Why is it said that she is alive and died again?"

But Tan Qiuyin said sharply: "She was murdered, she was killed and silenced, and when I asked her to come to the mansion tomorrow to find a chance to confront Mu Jin'er, she was killed in the room! "

"Xiu'er, who has lived well until now, died at home for no reason. If it wasn't because Mu Jin'er was a fake, who would kill her like her? Master, your eyes are covered by something!"

Jin Jingyi frowned: "Killed?" What he remembered was the steward of the cloth village, who also died a few days ago.

It's very possible to be silenced, but it's not because Jin'er was fake, but because someone was afraid of what happened back then, so they killed Xiu'er.

Mrs. Tai sighed: "I just heard that too, but Xiu'er did send me a letter, saying that Jin'er in the mansion is not real, because Jin'er's leg was broken back then, and it is impossible for her to be unharmed. .”

Jin Jingyi looked at his mother: "Two people are witnesses, how can we believe what Xiu'er said alone? If Jin'er is fake, people from Zhennan Palace have come and proved Jin'er's innocence, why is it that the person who saved Jin'er Didn't point out that she came here as a fake?"
