Chapter 46
"There's also this matter." Da Furen said pretending not to know.

Jin Liu nodded in embarrassment, looked up at the eldest lady with a grateful face, and saw that the hair around her cheeks had been wet with sweat and stuck to her face, she lowered her head hastily with a curl of her mouth.

Jin Liu didn't speak, the Da Furen's eyes fell on her, and it took a while before she said: "Actually, I called you here today because I have something to tell you."

Jin Liu blinked her eyes and raised her head, "Mother, please tell me."

"Your grandmother is coming, you don't know about it, do you?"

"Jin Liu knows." Jin Liu said honestly.

"Oh?" Da Furen looked at Jin Liu unexpectedly, the expression on her face was unpredictable, "How do you know?"

Could it be that this girl and the old lady...

"Father said it." Jin Liu said, "Father came to Furong Garden last time because of Master Bai Liu, and he said something casually, and Jin Liu remembered it."

"So it's like this..." The eldest lady nodded, she thought... It seems that she was thinking too much, this girl is not yet ten years old, how could she have contact with the old lady who lives in her hometown, and she concealed it so well , she really overestimated this girl, but, if there was no such girl, then...a poisonous plan slowly took shape in the heart of the eldest lady.

"What's the matter, mother?" The eldest lady didn't speak, Jin Liu looked up at her innocently, saw a bowl of tea on the kang table next to her, got up, picked it up and handed it to the eldest lady, "Is mother not feeling well?" , have a sip of tea first and then talk."

In order to convince Jin Liu that she was not feeling well, the lady had just drank a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger tea, and she was still sweating all over, so she shook her head and said, "No need, you put Let's go!"

Jin Liu's small face collapsed, and she said dejectedly: "Mother is kind to Jin Liu, and Jin Liu has never done filial piety in front of her mother. Could it be that mother despises Jin Liu and doesn't want Jin Liu to do her filial piety?"

"Of course not." The lady twitched the corner of her mouth and said, although Jin Liu cooperated well with her in front of outsiders, she had never really been so close to her before. The plan she was about to carry out, she swallowed the words that she was about to blurt out to refuse, took a look at Jin Liu, and took a sip from her hand.

"Mother, please drink more. If you are infected with the wind and cold, drink more hot water and you will recover sooner." Jin Liu said before the eldest lady looked up, and fed her a few more mouthfuls until she saw beads of sweat rolling on her forehead. After falling down and falling into the tea bowl, he said pleasantly: "Ah, mother is sweating, that's great, but the sweat fell into the tea, I'm afraid the tea won't be drinkable, let mother Zhou pour another bowl for mother , Mother Zhou..."

Jin Liu turned to call Zhou's mother, the eldest lady quickly took her hand, took the tea bowl from her hand and put it on the kang table, said: "No need, I'll drink it later."

Jin Liu thought for a while, nodded obediently and said, "That's fine." Then she sat down on the square stool again.

Da Furen wiped the sweat from her forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to see Jin Liu staring at herself with big black and bright eyes, forced a smile, and then said again: "Since you already know you If grandma is coming, then it will be easy to handle, mother wants you to pick up your grandma, are you willing?"

"Mother!" Jin Liu looked at the eldest lady in surprise, "Then father..."

"Your father can't escape in the palace, and I'm sick and can't make the trip. I see that you are sensible and well-behaved, so I want to entrust this matter to you." Little Yaji, looking at a string of bright red coral stones shining in her bun, asked, "Are you willing to go?"

Jin Liu bowed her head and said nothing, the hypocritical appearance of the eldest lady gave her goosebumps all over her body, she also didn't understand why the eldest lady asked her to pick up the old lady, didn't this give her a chance to get close to the old lady?

For a moment, Jin Liu didn't know the purpose of the eldest lady, but since the eldest lady opened her mouth, she had no reason to refuse. She glanced at Zhou's mother next to her and said, "Since it was the mother's order, Jin Liu will naturally obey it." , it’s just that Jin Liu is afraid that she won’t be able to serve her grandma well, can mother let Zhou’s mother go with me?”

Zhou's mother also looked at the eldest lady.

The eldest lady shook her head and said: "I'm not feeling well, and mother Zhou is indispensable by my side, so let Bixi go with you, I don't worry if she follows you, and Steward Zhao, he will go with you too, along the way he will Help you with everything."

Jin Liu's heart sank when he heard the words, but a flowery smile appeared on his face, "Jin Liu forgot that Tourmaline has been with her mother for several years, so I feel relieved to have her with Jin Liu."

The eldest lady's complexion changed, and she said with a smile: "Since this is the case, you should hurry up and prepare. Your grandmother will be able to arrive at Jinggukou before evening, and it will take half a day for you to go from the capital. When you get there, prepare first. After receiving your grandmother Rest for one night, and I will be able to come back with her old man tomorrow."

In such a hurry, the more Jin Liu thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, but she had already promised the eldest lady that she could not go back on it, and it might be her best chance to get close to the old lady, and she would take a risk for this. After making up his mind, Jin Liu hurriedly agreed, said goodbye to the eldest lady, got up and went out.

"My maidservant will send Miss San off." Zhou's mother said hurriedly, and walked a few steps quickly to help Jin Liu pull up the curtain.

After sending Jin Liu out of the gate of the hermitage, Zhou's mother turned back, and the eldest lady was coming out. Seeing that Zhou's mother came back, she couldn't help complaining: "This girl, I'm full of water, I can't hold it back. My stomach hurts."

"Is Madam okay?" Zhou's mother helped the eldest lady onto the kang, Luozhu quickly knelt down to help the eldest lady take off her shoes, and then held her feet on the kang.

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief after lying comfortably on the kang, and glanced at Zhou's mother, "The girl is gone?"

Zhou's mother nodded, put the mattress on the eldest lady, and asked: "Why didn't the lady let the servants go with the third lady to pick up the old lady, so that the servants can look at the third lady."

When Jin Liu brought it up just now, if the eldest lady hadn't stopped her, Zhou's mother would have almost agreed. She knew that the eldest lady tabooed Jin Liu from getting close to the old lady. Wouldn't it be better to have her watch over her? Talk, but the eldest lady refused, which made her very confused.

The eldest lady didn't answer, let Zhou's mother sit opposite, and then said to Luo Zhu: "It's none of your business here, you go out first, I'll talk to Zhou's mother, I didn't tell you not to come in."

Luo Zhu was naturally incomparable in the closeness between Da Furen and Zhou's mother, and she also knew herself, so she briskly agreed and retreated, and after going out, she cleverly closed the door outside.

"This girl is quite obedient." Da Furen smiled lightly, looked up to see Mother Zhou looking at her, the smile on her face faded, showing a bit of hostility, and said: "You can stay in the mansion with peace of mind. Well, anyway, that girl can't do anything wrong."

"Madame means..." Zhou's mother had an ominous feeling and fixedly looked at the eldest lady.

The room fell silent, the lady turned her head to look at the brazier in the middle of the room, the charcoal in the brazier was burning vigorously, steaming faintly and invisible, sparks rose at some point, but they were extinguished before flying too high. The ashes fell into the brazier again, thinking of the plan that was about to be implemented, the eldest lady couldn't help shivering, and looked down at her hands, which were white and soft after her careful care, the elder once said, he What I like the most is her hands, but today, these hands are about to be stained with blood!
But what can she do?She didn't lose everything now, and she couldn't even let this possibility exist. She was the only mistress of the ambassador's mansion, the only one!Not one of them!

The eldest lady clenched her hands tightly, and said in a cold voice: "I want to get rid of Jin Liu, so that woman will never think that mother is more important than daughter, she will always be just a country woman, a woman who only deserves to live in the west. A country girl from a side courtyard!"

"But the old lady..." Mother Zhou looked at the old lady in horror.

"Old lady?" The lady sneered a few times, "Jin Liu was on the way to pick her up, and she brought it up. When she saw Jin Liu's body, what else could she do except cry a few times? What about it? It's just... Poor Bixi, that girl will follow her to her death."

Zhou's mother looked at the smiling face of the eldest lady who was uglier than crying, and her heart felt trembling. She wanted to save the lives of Jin Liu and Mrs. Ru, so she brought her in front of the eldest lady. After surviving, he never thought that Jin Liu would escape the first day of junior high school but not the fifteenth day, and that such a day would eventually come.

It is not uncommon to see such things in the gate of the mansion, and Zhou's mother also understands what the eldest lady has to do, but seeing the bloody hands of the eldest lady who she watched growing up, Zhou's mother still feels distressed, and she feels sorry for the young man who died young , as a slave, she can't do anything, but... really can't?

"Jin Liu will always remember Zhou's mother's kindness."..."It's not a good thing, it's a pastry made by myself. Mom takes it home and tastes it. If you like it, send someone a message, and I'll send it to mom. "..."If mom doesn't accept it, it's because of the previous incident that Jinliu is annoyed, then Jinliu..."..."Thank you for the reminder, Jinliu will just let the fifth younger sister go."

Jin Liu's well-behaved and sensible words sounded in Zhou's mother's ears, and in an instant, she made a bold decision!

Because the old lady will arrive at Jinggukou in the evening, Jin Liu has to arrive in half a day to prepare for the old lady, so she quickly packed her luggage, and the eldest lady also prepared a carriage at the second gate. In addition to Housekeeper Zhao, whom Madam appointed to go with her, there were four servants and four drivers.

This is Jinliu's first time going out, and she is alone again. Mrs. Ru left Furong Garden for a rare time, and sent her to the second gate. After passing such a long door, if you have anything to discuss with Tourmaline, you have to take good care of the young miss, Tourmaline, don't let her just focus on fun and miss the task of picking up the old lady." After ordering Jinliu, Madam Ru did not forget Confess the tourmaline.

"Your servant understands. Madam has already told you all the way, and your servant can even memorize it." Bixi smiled and pushed Zhizi, who was snickering, with her elbow, and helped Madam Ru across the half-foot-high threshold of the second door. The servant and Steward Zhao were busy, and said: "Look, ma'am, there are so many people following besides slaves, ma'am, don't worry!"

Mrs. Ru glanced at the red-lacquered camphorwood and blue-shed carriage that was slipping outside. A few burly servants beside the carriage were moving things onto the carriage under the direction of the steward, and the drivers were also checking whether the bit on the horse's head was on properly. Rest assured a little, in her opinion, it would be the best to let Jin Liu pick up the old lady. The old lady has never seen Jin Liu before, and she believes that Jin Liu's well-behaved will definitely win the old lady's favor.
