The Good Wife of Transmigration

Chapter 14 Why did you frame yourself like this?
As soon as Mama Du entered the room, she sat down next to Jiwei's bed, and quickly extinguished the oil lamp.

Jiwei sat up from the bed and asked nervously, "Nurse, tell me, what's going on?"

Mother Du quickly told Jiwei what she had found out, and then she couldn't suppress her hatred and said, "Girl, this lowly servant girl Ding Xiang is dead, but she won't let you be clean after she dies, so she wrote on the ground' Four grandma' three words. Tell me, why did she frame you like this?"

Ji Wei sat there in a daze, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.Ding Xiang definitely didn't commit suicide in fear of crime. If she really committed suicide in fear of crime, she couldn't still write about the fourth grandma on the ground, and if she wanted to write, she would write about the person who forced her!In this case, her suicide must have been premeditated.However, it was impossible for her to make her own claim. The messenger must have passed the message to her by some means.If it wasn't for the two women, it would be the person who delivered the meals in the kitchen.

Thinking of this, Jiwei asked Mother Du: "Who is delivering food to the chaifang today?"

Mother Du said: "The two girls who stared at the firewood room said that it was Mother Wei from the small kitchen who delivered the meals, and she chatted and laughed with those two women for a long time!"

Jiwei said: "This mother Wei, I think, must find a way to replace her. In the two recent incidents, there is a shadow of her as the kitchen steward. Whether she is involved or not, I am not at ease. There is such a person in my yard."

Mother Du nodded: "Don't worry, girl, she is also responsible for Aunt Ruan's affairs! I will report to my wife tomorrow, and I will definitely replace her."

Jiwei sighed, and said: "This matter, now basically I caused Aunt Ruan to have a miscarriage. Moreover, the clue is basically broken after the death of Ding Xiang. The mastermind behind this scene is really a master Ah! By the way, where will Lilac's body be taken?"

Mother Du thought for a while, and said, "Generally, slaves who commit suicide are directly dragged to mass graves in the mansion."

Ji Wei thought for a while, and then ordered: "I think, Ding Xiang still has family members, so I'm afraid this matter will not be left alone. Nanny, see if you can send a message tomorrow morning, and find someone to go to the mass grave to watch Ding Xiang’s corpse, see if anyone helps to collect the body. If someone helps to collect the body, don’t disturb that person, just watch quietly, find out who it is, and then come back and report.”

Mother Du quickly responded: "I can still do this. Girl, don't worry!"

Ji Wei sighed: "I'm a dead horse as a living horse doctor. It seems that I should wake up tomorrow morning."

The next morning, Mrs. Qiu went to Qiutang Courtyard early as usual.At the door of the main room, the third grandma, Mrs. Ye, was already guarding there. When she saw Mrs. Qiu, she smiled and bowed, and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that the girl who was locked up in the yard over there hanged herself last night." ? It’s hard for you to check it in the middle of the night, and you got up so early this morning.”

Qiu Shi smiled: "This is all my duty. It is only natural to get up early to serve my mother-in-law. Don't you also get up early? Speaking of which, the third brother and sister, you are really well-informed!"

"Who didn't know about the big commotion last night!" Ye Shi didn't take it seriously, and suddenly approached Qiu Shi again, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that girl wrote on the ground, is it true?"

Qiu Shi nodded indifferently and didn't say much.

Mrs. Ye let out a low exclamation, and covered her mouth in a blink of an eye, as if she couldn't believe it: "Really write those words? The fourth brother and sister don't seem to be cruel. I didn't expect to do such a thing."

Qiu's face was indifferent, but he just concentrated on looking at the light blue curtain at the door, as if he wanted to see a flower from it.

Mrs. Ye was a little disappointed to see that Mrs. Qiu ignored her, but she continued to say: "My wife dropped a cup yesterday, and she said to investigate thoroughly! Now that everyone is dead, there is nothing to investigate. However, four The siblings are still lying on the bed, so it's hard to tell if they offended the gods."

The corners of Qiu's mouth twitched, and he said with a cold face: "Third brothers and sisters, you must not speak nonsense about matters of the gods!"

Ye Shi curled her lips, feeling a little self-defeating, so she had no choice but to stop talking.

During the cold break, the fifth grandma, Li Shi, came.Li Shi was wearing a carmine red forged jacket with flower and bird pattern makeup, a silver red horse face skirt, and a gold inlaid jade colorful phoenix walker on her head. She looked really rich and powerful.However, Li Shi is tall, with a round figure and even a round face, so she is not really a beauty.

Li Shi just gave Qiu Shi and Ye Shi a little blessing, and stood in the porch without speaking.

Mrs. Ye was about to go forward to have a chat, when the curtain suddenly lifted, revealing a beautiful face.This is the agate beside the wife. She smiled and blessed the waiting crowd, and said with a smile: "My wife is awake, please come in some grandmas!"

Qiu Shi, Ye Shi and Li Shi hurriedly filed in.

The wife of the Qin family, Nie Shi, just got up from the couch at this time, Qiu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to take the clothes from Zhenlong's hand, and helped her get dressed.Mrs. Ye also hurried forward to take out the handkerchief from the basin and wrung it dry, and helped Mrs. Nie to wash up.

Nie's family background is not noble, but usually he pays the most attention to etiquette, for fear of being laughed at.These few daughters-in-law of hers are unavoidable on weekdays, and they have to serve diligently to win her favor.Although Su Shi, the former fourth grandma, also helped to serve her mother-in-law, she was born with a sense of arrogance, and her actions were not as natural as those of Qiu Shi and Ye Shi, so Nie Shi didn't like her on weekdays.

The fifth grandma, Li Shi, just saluted and stood aside.Although she spends morning and night with her sister-in-laws every day, she never competes with them to serve her mother-in-law.Her mother is a princess, and her background determines that she doesn't need to be servile to please anyone.After all, she has the support of her natal family, so as long as she doesn't do anything too outrageous, no one can say anything about her.

After Nie finished washing, she asked Mother Chen to comb her hair again.Nie's looks are not good-looking, the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, with a hint of sharpness.However, after getting old, the crow's feet around her eyes made her look a little more kind.

Nie pays the most attention to hair care. When she wakes up early every day, she must comb her hair a hundred times. Therefore, although she is approaching the year of knowing her destiny, her hair is still black and shiny, and gray hair is rarely seen.The mother Chen who combed her hair is almost 60 years old, and she was married from her mother's family when Nie married. She combed her hair quickly and well, so even though she was old, Nie still let her stay in the mansion. .

Nie narrowed her eyes slightly, enjoying the time of combing her hair a little bit, but looked at the several daughter-in-laws standing there, and said, "Tell me what happened last night!"

Qiu quickly stepped forward and explained in detail about Ding Xiang's hanging.However, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Qiu Shi missed the half of the silver hairpin that Ding Xiang was still clutching, and only said that there were three words written on the ground, and the two women who imprisoned Ding Xiang did it. Circumstantial evidence, that word could only be written by Ding Xiang.

After Qiu finished speaking, she stood silently by the side, without showing any further embellishment.

After hearing this, Mrs. Nie didn't speak for a long time, she closed her eyes and played with the jade buddha hand on the dressing table.

The three daughters-in-law held their breath, waiting for Mrs. Nie to speak.The Nie's natal family was not a dignitary, but they were able to hold power in the backyard of the uncle's mansion for so many years, and raised three legitimate sons and one legitimate daughter safely. It can be seen that the Nie family is really not easy.Even Li Shi didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of her.

Nie suddenly opened her eyes, looked at her hairstyle in the glazed mirror, touched her temples with satisfaction, and said: "When a girl dies, she dies. It's not a big deal. Even if she dies Write a few words, who knows what it means? I think, you should talk to the people below about this matter, so that they can keep their mouths tight and stop talking nonsense. "

Mrs. Nie has issued a banning order.It seemed that she was going to make this a big deal smaller.A while ago, Mrs. Nie valued Aunt Ruan very much. Mrs. Qiu thought that Mrs. Nie wanted to promote her so that Aunt Ruan could be in a good position. Who knew that it was the Fourth Grandma who did it, but she didn't look angry.

Qiu couldn't understand what Nie was thinking, so only Weiwei responded, "Yes, Madam, don't worry."

After combing her hair, Manao stepped forward to help Nie put on her makeup.Mrs. Ye looked a little cold, so she smiled and said: "Madam's makeup powder looks good in color, and it smells good too."

Nie laughed: "Pei Rong personally made this and brought it to me. She said she found an ancient recipe. She mixed almonds, talc, ice flakes, musk and egg white with light powder to make a powder. Put the juice made from twisted peach blossom petals, I think it’s okay, so I’ll give it a try.”

Mrs. Ye said with a smile: "No wonder my wife looks very good. I said, the second aunt is filial, she can do such a difficult thing."

Nie smiled complacently. As a girl, she has nothing to say about filial piety.It's just that she hasn't come back very diligently recently.

As if thinking of something, Nie's face changed, and he suddenly asked: "The fourth family is still awake?"

Mrs. Qiu replied: "Yes." She looked up at Mrs. Nie again, and said, "Maybe, I don't know if I wake up now."

Nie asked again: "You went to see it yesterday, how is the situation of the fourth family?"

Qiu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The doctor only said to rest, it shouldn't be a serious problem."

Nie asked again, "What about Aunt Ruan?"

Qiu replied cautiously: "Aunt Ruan looked pale, and she looked a bit unwell. The doctor prescribed medicine, and I don't know if she woke up."
