Chapter 56 A Sensational Play 2
"I haven't seen my second aunt for a while, won't my second aunt come over and talk to me?" Jin Tongxi pouted in a coquettish tone.

"This..." The second lady's face changed, she knew that unlike the eldest lady, Jin Tongxi was a really smart person and never liked to meddle in the affairs of the elders, so she didn't take it so seriously haha Said: "Isn't it the Chinese New Year? The old lady has come to the capital again. Then everyone must get together. At that time, the second aunt will tell you well. Now the second aunt has to serve the old lady first!"

"Then I won't delay Second Aunt." Jin Tongxi didn't really want to keep Second Madam, seeing that she was anxious to leave, she arranged for a maid to come over with her, and followed her to the Nuan Pavilion in the west .

"Hmph, Second Aunt must have gone to listen to the corner of the wall at my grandmother's house!" After entering the Nuan Pavilion on the west side, seeing the little maid who sent them here back out, Jin Tongxi said with an expression of displeasure. Jin Tongxi knocked a chestnut, she held her forehead in pain and yelled, staring at Jin Tongxi and said: "Sister, what are you doing, and they are right, what are you beating him for!"

"I don't care if you said it right or wrong, what are you doing, I want you to talk more!" Jin Tongxi stared at Jin Xingxi and said, then turned her head and smiled at the corner of the kang where the starling Jin Longqian said with a timid face: "Eighth brother, don't pay attention to your fifth sister, she's just looking for a fight, look, there's something delicious over there, go and eat it!"

Jin Longqian was as shocked as a little rabbit when he was brought to the second room, and he was followed by someone he was not familiar with, or the person he feared the most. The tears in his eyes had never been done before, it was Jin Tongxi who was so gentle Talking to him, he was also afraid, and tears flowed out as soon as he blinked.

"Crybaby!" Seeing Jin Xingxi, he cursed as if venting his anger.

Jin Tongxi glared at her, and then personally pulled Jin Longqian to sit on the innermost chair, brought another plate of fruit to him, patted his head comfortingly, and then walked in front of the eldest lady, staring at her. After watching her for a while, he asked in a low voice: "Mother, what's going on today, why are you so impatient!"

The eldest lady was worried that there was no one to share her worries. Seeing that Jin Tongxi, who usually doesn't care about her mother's affairs, came forward to ask, she opened her mouth to say something that was not on her mind. Suddenly remembering that Jin Longqian was still in the room, she turned her head and glanced. Seeing that he had been arranged by Jin Tongxi to the innermost place, some distance away from them, she reassuredly whispered about how she arranged bandits to kill Jin Liu, and couldn't help complaining after finishing speaking: "I didn't expect that dead man The girl's life is so serious that even bandits can't kill her, Housekeeper Zhao doesn't know what's going on, this idea can't be done well, that's all, now I don't even see anyone!"

Butler Zhao was brought over from her natal family when Mrs. Zhao married into the Jin family. Mrs. Zhao's daughter-in-law used to be a daughter-in-law next to Mrs. Zhao, and she was very good at pleasing Mrs. Wang when she was young, but that daughter-in-law was not lucky. , died of illness when she was less than 30 years old, leaving only two children and Steward Zhao. The eldest lady took Steward Zhao and his two children to the Jin family because of her relationship with the daughter-in-law. Like Zhou's mother, he has been using it as a confidant.

"I'm afraid Steward Zhao has been arrested now!" Jin Tongxi opened her mouth and said, she is very familiar with Steward Zhao. He still has two children in the mansion. If he runs away, it will be his two children who are unlucky. He is a child, so he will definitely not run away just because he can't do something. In this way, there is only one reason for Butler Zhao not to come to see the eldest lady.

"What?" The Da Furen was startled when she heard this, and stood up from the chair.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Jin Xingxi was bored watching the movement outside the window, when she heard the scream of the eldest lady in the room, she turned her head and asked.

"No...it's nothing." The eldest lady said quickly, and glanced at Jin Longqian in the corner of the room, seeing that he didn't notice her, she did it again, looked at Jin Tongxi nervously and said: "What you said is true of?"

"I'm just guessing. If Steward Zhao hadn't been arrested, he would have tried his best to pass the situation on to his mother, but no one has seen him until now. Isn't it obvious? Grandma left Jinliu in the second uncle Family, is it possible that you still need to take care of a servant?" Jin Tongxi carefully analyzed for the eldest lady.

The eldest lady nodded, feeling that what Jin Tongxi said was right, she became even more nervous, and said, "Then what should I do? Could it be that your grandmother has already interrogated Butler Zhao, and he confessed to me? That's why your grandmother doesn't want to see me?"

Jin Tongxi frowned, she didn't know how the eldest lady would do such a thing she was not fully sure of, she didn't talk about it if it couldn't be done, and even caused herself trouble, but she knew that now was not the time to blame the eldest lady, she still Considering the character of the eldest lady, no matter what she says now, the eldest lady will not listen to her. Besides, what she is most worried about now is not whether the old lady has interrogated Butler Zhao.

"Mother, what I'm most worried about now is where Butler Zhao is now, not whether he has confessed you!" Mrs. Jin Tongxi looked confused, and sighed: "If Butler Zhao still returns, I will give you a confession." In the hands of grandma, everything is fine. Whether you admit that you bribed the bandits to get rid of the third sister or not, it is a matter in our mansion. No one will know when the door is closed. If Steward Zhao has already been sent to The government, then..."

"How is it possible!" The eldest lady denied it intuitively. The reason why she dared to be so bold was because she had always regarded this matter as private affairs in the inner house. She kept the matter a secret, and spread the word to ruin the Jin family's reputation, but if the matter was reported to the Yamen, it would not be just a matter of secret affairs in the inner house. Buying a murderer would lead to a prison sentence. Even if she doesn't have to go to jail because of her relationship, she doesn't have to go out to meet people in the future, and those wives who seem to be close to her don't have to drown her with saliva!

But, the bandits she sent to kill Jin Liu were bandits!If the bandits are dead, they must be reported to the government, and they will be investigated at that time... The more the lady thinks about it, the more frightened she becomes, her whole body trembles, she covers her head with her hands, looking like she is about to collapse.

"Mother, the matter is not yet settled, so don't worry, maybe it's not so serious!" Jin Tongxi comforted her when she saw this, "If it's really for this matter, grandma won't bother to go to our house, you can go first Go back to the mansion, and then close the door and scold her mother again. After all, her old man is not willing to spread this matter. When the time comes to let her old man vent his anger, this matter will be over, but now she is in the second uncle. Maybe it's not because of this?"

"The old lady stayed at your second uncle's house, it must be your second aunt's fault!" The eldest lady suddenly raised her head and said with a look of anger, "She must have known that your grandmother would come to the capital today, so she waited at the door early in the morning. It’s over, and you still say that you ran into it when you were going out, how can such a coincidence happen, the devil will believe it!”

Jin Tongxi was surprised when he heard the words, "Didn't Mother tell Second Aunt and Grandma about coming to the capital?"

"Tell her what to do, and she will be angry with me on weekdays. I just want to make her lose face in front of the old lady!" Da Furen said consciously and rationally.

"But..." Jin Tongxi looked at the appearance of the eldest lady, and didn't know what to say. Besides, it was useless to say anything now. The old lady didn't express her attitude, so they could only be anxious!
"Does my father know about this?" Jin Tongxi asked helplessly...

In the hall of the main courtyard, only half of the charcoal fires in the four carved braziers have been burned. The in and out has been slightly reduced, but it does not affect the warmth of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after a long absence... Is there warmth in a long-awaited reunion of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?It's a bit fake!

Jin Liu looked at the old lady holding Mrs. Ru's hand and talking in a low voice. Mrs. Ru nodded with tears in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched. It was really warm. If the mother and daughter were sent to the capital for nearly ten years, she might really think so, but now, she wouldn't.

"You are much thinner than when you were in your hometown." The old lady said pitifully, holding Mrs. Ru's hand. "Your face is also very pale. I have suffered for you all these years!"

"Mother!" Mrs. Ru looked at the old lady with trepidation, lowered her head, and said, "It's useless for the daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law makes mother worry."

"You!" The old lady sighed, turned her head and glanced at the old man, and said, "Don't think that my old lady doesn't know what happened in the capital if she hasn't been to the capital. , it has not been eaten by anyone, and it is already good to be alive!"

"Mother, Master and Da Furen are very kind to me." Madam Ru whispered.

"Oh? Really?" The old lady turned to look at the old man.

When the old man received the old lady's gaze, he lowered his head and dared not speak.

Jin Liu was amazed. She had only heard people say that the two masters of the Jin family were filial, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Now she finally saw it with her own eyes!

"Hmph!" The old lady snorted heavily, she withdrew her gaze from staring at the Elder Master, held Madam Ru's hand again and said, "Before I came to the capital, I had someone visit your natal home, but that stubborn old man of your father But you refused to open the door, you have been reconciled with your father for so many years?"

Speaking of her natal family, Mrs. Ru's complexion darkened, she shook her head and said, "My father has such a temper, and even nine cows can't bring back what he decides. I also went home for the first two years in the capital." I sent letters, but they all fell into the sea, and then I gave up."

"So that's the case." The old lady nodded thoughtfully, and said, "It's just that they are your real parents after all, so it's best to reconcile with each other!"

Mrs. Ru didn't say anything more, she just nodded, with a little more helplessness in her expression.

"Don't be sad, as long as I'm here, you won't be wronged anymore. As for your father, you'd better write more letters to go and have a look. After all, they are your own father and daughter. If you are stubborn, there will be times when your heart will soften." Seeing Madam Ru like this, the old lady felt distressed and pitied her.

"Mom!" Mrs. Ru called out excitedly, tears were about to come out again.

"Okay, okay, there are still children watching!" The old lady hurriedly said, pulled Jin Liu aside and said, "San girl, go out with your mother, let grandma talk to your father!"

Jin Liu stared blankly at the old lady. She actually wanted to go out a long time ago. Sensational scenes were really not to her liking, but now that the old lady left the old man alone to talk, she didn't want to go out anymore. She really wanted to know What would people say to the old man, but the old lady had already spoken, she was unwilling even if she had [-], so she had no choice but to agree, helped Mrs. Ru up, and walked out the door.

Coming out of the main hall, Mrs. Ru was still very excited. No one cared about her for many years. The old lady came, and her words of concern made Mrs. Ru's grievances pent up for a long time finally found a way out, and she cried as soon as she went out.

Jin Liu was about to comfort her, but when she turned around, she saw the second lady standing beside her. Seeing her looking over, she smiled dryly, walked over unnaturally, and asked with concern, "Why are you crying, sister-in-law?"
