Concubine's true colors

Chapter 80
What happened last night made people panic. Although Xiao Jinxuan suppressed the incident at the time, this morning, the old lady sent a message to tell her to come over because of the haunting in the courtyard.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Xiao Jinxuan had a look of boredom in her eyes, which was fleeting, and then her expression returned to normal again.

Now the Forsythia Courtyard is said to be for her to live in, but there is nothing to do in the courtyard, and the servants who have been placed in each have their own masters behind them. Just thinking about it, she feels that it is crowded.

Yesterday, half of the servants were kicked out due to unfavorable errands, and sooner or later she would drive out all the people left behind by Aunt Tian, ​​so that she would not be tied down in what she wanted to do. .

Thinking of this, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Xiao Jinxuan smiled wryly.

In her previous life, when she came to the commander-in-chief's mansion, in fact, the various courtyards also placed many people for her, but at that time she was quite grateful, thinking that it was because the elders cared about her.

Thinking about it now, she was really stupid at that time, she couldn't even tell the good from the bad, she was framed for no reason.

Just when she was engrossed in her thoughts, there was a sound of broken porcelain. She turned around and saw that it was Zhu Xin pouring tea in, but dropped the teapot on the ground.

Looking at Zhuxin's haggard face and blackened eye sockets, Xiao Jinxuan knew that this was all caused by the haunting incident.

Even though she explained afterwards that there were no ghosts and that they were all pretending, Zhu Xin was still quite frightened. This morning, her expression was in a trance.

Shaking her head helplessly, Xiao Jinxuan said softly: "Zhu Xin, you don't have to accompany me to grandma's for a while, you just stay in the Lissaceous Qiaoyuan and have a good rest. It's sunny now, you shouldn't be afraid any more."

Hearing this, Zhu Xin hesitated for a while, but still nodded, her eyes are indeed dizzy now, her hands and feet are weak, and she can't hold it anymore, so she doesn't force her anymore.

After arranging Zhu Xin, Xiao Jinxuan took Bai Shu out and arrived at the old lady's yard after a while.

After entering the room, Xiao Jinxuan saw that Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Qian, and Mrs. Xiao Jinyu were all there.

It seems that what happened in her yard was indeed known to everyone in Shuai's residence in one night.

Xiao Jinxuan took her seat after meeting each of them, but before she could sit still, Xiao Jinyu who was next to her looked at her with concern.

"Fourth sister, I heard that there was something unclean in your yard yesterday. My sister was frightened. My sister is really worried."

Xiao Jinxuan glanced at the other party, with a smile on her face, but she couldn't help snorting in her heart.

The other party seemed to care about her, but in fact he couldn't wait. He wanted to talk about what happened last night just to see her joke, but Xiao Jinyu wanted to act like the first sister cared about the concubine sister. Just annoying.

"Thank you, sister, for your concern. Isn't Jinxuan doing well now? It's my sister who has a good voice, but you must keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, talking too much and hurting your throat will be a serious problem."

Xiao Jinyu, who was still smiling and taking pleasure in others' misfortune, immediately stopped laughing when she heard this, bit her lips lightly, glared at Xiao Jinxuan angrily, opened her mouth, but really didn't dare to speak.

It turned out that in the past half a month, Xiao Jinyu's eyes and throat, which were injured by the smoke, have almost healed, and basically returned to normal.But because of the strong smoke, the root cause of the disease was more or less left behind.

Although her eyes have recovered very well, but now she has a problem of crying when she sees the wind, and her voice, if she speaks softly, is still sweet and pleasant, but if she talks too much, she will cough continuously and become hoarse It's amazing.

After Xiao Jinxuan learned of Xiao Jinyu's problems, she was quite satisfied with the gift she gave to the other party when she first returned to the commander's mansion.

Xiao Jinyu stopped talking, but the old lady was also anxious to know what happened last night.

So, she asked with a straight face: "Jinyu is right, Jinxuan, your yard is haunted, what's going on, please explain clearly."

Xiao Jinxuan heard the words, and said calmly: "Grandmother is worrying too much, it's just a girl who missed her eyes, there is no such thing as a sneaky thing."

But at this time, Qian's on the side laughed out loud.

"Jinxuan, what you said is wrong. How did I hear that when the maids were cleaning afterwards, a puddle of blood was found under your window. Could it be that this was a mistake? It's all nonsense."

Glancing at Mrs. Qian, Xiao Jinxuan said with a smile: "The third aunt is really well informed. I only found out about this this morning. I didn't expect you to know it too. Aunt really cares about my niece. I'm afraid it will be something in our courtyard in the future. Jin If Xuan knows, Third Aunt must know, but if I don't know, Third Aunt will definitely know, then if Jinxuan is in the courtyard, if there is something unclear, then I will go to Third Aunt for advice. "

As soon as she finished speaking, Qian coughed in embarrassment. The people in the room were not stupid. No one could tell that Xiao Jinxuan was being sarcastic. There is no demeanor of the elders.

The old lady also had a bad complexion, and she gave Qian Shi a look, because although Xiao Jinxuan's words were aimed at Qian Shi, don't forget, she also arranged for someone to enter the Forsythia Courtyard, so this is no different from mocking her .

But in the end, the methods behind these things are shady, the old lady feels uncomfortable, and she can't say anything about Xiao Jinxuan, she can only pretend that she didn't hear it, but her chest is still tightly congested.

It's rare to see Mrs. Qian deflated, Mrs. Zhao feels very comfortable, so it's inevitable that she will throw a few words.

"Third brothers and sisters, although you are in charge of manpower scheduling in this mansion, but if the servants arrange to enter Lianqiao Yuan, they are Jinxuan's people. If you contact too frequently, it will be unreasonable."

Mrs. Qian gave Mrs. Zhao a dark look of hatred, suppressed the anger in her heart, and still had a smile on her face.

"Sister-in-law said that the brothers and sisters also saw that Jinxuan came not long ago. It's not because they were worried that they cared more. It's because I didn't think carefully. I will definitely not do it next time."

Qian shi has been in charge of the Xiao Mansion for these years, she has already developed her face, and she can speak well, although it is embarrassing, but now she has voluntarily admitted her mistake, and this matter has naturally been dismissed.

Then she changed the subject and said: "But no matter what, it is always unlucky to see blood in the Forsythias Courtyard. It was originally good, but when Jinxuan came, our handsome mansion was on fire again." , was injured again, and now he is still making a fuss, which is too coincidental."

Xiao Jinxuan didn't speak, but she was sneering in her heart. If it weren't for you people, who came to trouble her several times, how could so many things happen? Now, Qian's face is still blushing, and she is suspicious here, I really don't know shame.

But Mrs. Zhao snorted, and said directly: "Don't blame Jinxuan for everything. It is not auspicious that Lianqiaoyuan died a few years ago. If it is really haunted, it is not surprising."

She was referring to the dead person, so of course she meant the female doctor who hanged herself out of fear of crime, but this is a taboo in the commander's house, so when the old lady heard this, her face sank immediately.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? Our commander-in-chief's mansion is outstanding. As the eldest daughter-in-law, you are full of nonsense. It's your identity. Should you say it?"

The old lady doesn't like Zhao, but prefers Qian. The most important reason is that she hates the eldest daughter-in-law. She is so outspoken and too straightforward. When she talks to Zhao, sometimes the old lady gets annoyed, but the other party hasn't noticed it yet. .

But when talking to Mrs. Qian, the other party is holding the old lady and saying, what the old lady likes to hear, Mrs. Qian will only talk about it. Over time, Mrs. Zhao is detested, which is a reasonable thing.

Being reprimanded by the old lady in public, Mrs. Zhao naturally did not dare to speak, and the smug look in Qian's eyes flashed past.

As people get older, the most unlucky thing to hear is unlucky things. Qian knows that this is the old lady's taboo, so although she wants to bring up the topic of sneaking, she doesn't want to offend anyone by herself.

That's why she provoked Mrs. Zhao to let the other party tell her that the past events back then were exactly as she expected. The old lady got angry, Mrs. Zhao was reprimanded, and Mrs. Qian's own goal was achieved. So in her heart, how could she Unsatisfactory reason.

And looking at the old lady's angry face, Qian stepped forward and patted her on the back to cheer her up.

Then he said softly: "Madam, my daughter-in-law thinks that sister-in-law's words may not be unreasonable, otherwise how to explain the ghost image and bloodstains, I'm afraid there are really unclean things."

The old lady believed in Buddhism, so naturally the gods and ghosts only said what they believed, and she was annoyed when Mrs. Zhao spoke recklessly, but she was a little shaken by what Mrs. Qian said, which was justified.

Just wanted to ask Qian Shi if she had any good ideas, but before the old lady had time to speak, Fei Cui, Qian Shi's close maid, ran in in a panic.

As soon as she came in, she knelt down in front of Mrs. Qian, tears streaming down her face.

"Ma'am, something happened in Luwei Court, you should go and have a look."

Luwei Courtyard is Xiao Jinke's residence, so if something happened there, it must have something to do with Xiao Jinke.

As soon as Qian heard that her daughter had something to do, she couldn't calm down, she quickly grabbed Fei Cui, and asked anxiously: "Is there something wrong with Ke'er, tell me quickly."

Emerald cried and cried, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time, and it took a long time for her emotions to stabilize.

Then I saw her, and said with a choked voice: "This female servant, I will send it to the young lady for food as usual, because the young lady is grounded, so it is still the same as usual, the things are delivered to the door, and the servant is ready to leave. But just now At this time, the voice of the lady calling for help came from the courtyard, and the maidservant rushed in together with the guarding aunt in shock, and then saw the lady, was stabbed and fell to the ground."

Qian's body swayed twice, and she almost didn't fall to the ground. After waiting for a long time, she regained her footing, and then burst into tears.

"My poor Ke'er, who is so vicious and hurt her with a knife, the thief has been caught, but the gangsters from outside the house, even the commander-in-chief's house dares to mess around, it's too bold and reckless."

But when Fei Cui heard the words, she shook her head vigorously, then she suddenly glanced at Xiao Jinxuan, then she seemed to be very scared, and quickly lowered her head again.

Then I heard her say in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Ma'am, the perpetrator was caught, not someone from outside the house. The person who hurt Miss is actually Miss Zhuxin who is next to Miss Jinxuan."
