Chapter 88
"That maid, too... also fell ill!" The elder hesitated for a while, and said: "Perhaps she also contracted a cold, and my son has already sent someone to see her. It's getting late today, mother, why don't you rest early , after two days and the third girl recovers from her illness, it will not be too late for Mother to ask her in person!"

"Not late? I'm afraid it will be too late!" The old lady shouted angrily when she heard this, she stretched out her hand to lift off the mattress on her body and wanted to get off the kang.

Liu Mama hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her and asked, "It's snowing all over the sky outside, where is the old lady going?"

"I'm going to see what's going on with the third girl. If he doesn't tell me the truth, I'll go and see for myself!" The old lady pushed Aunt Liu away, moved her body and sat on the edge of the kang.

"Mother, everything my son said is the truth!" The elder was a little panicked when he saw this. Going up and down, if you catch the wind and cold, it will not be fun, so you hurriedly begged: "Mother, my son begs you, even if you go tomorrow, can't you?"

"Will the third girl come over tomorrow?" The old lady stopped moving and looked at the elder.

"Uh..." The old man didn't answer, Jin Liu would definitely not be able to get out of bed tomorrow, it would be good if he could lower his body temperature, but he didn't dare to tell the old lady, for fear that she would get even more angry.

The old lady knew that Jin Liu's illness was serious when she saw that the old man didn't dare to say anything, she pushed him away, put down her two legs, and went to get the shoes on the side of the kang.

The old man knew that the old lady was stubborn, and he was afraid that she would really go to Jin Liu's house after putting on her shoes. Remembering what Qin Zhijian had said to him before he left the tea forest, his knees softened and he knelt down, hugging her leg, He begged: "Mother, just believe in my son this time. The third girl is also my son's daughter, and my son feels sorry for her when she becomes so ill. If the mother also catches the wind and cold in the past, wouldn't it be my son's life? The son promises , I must thoroughly investigate what happened today, and I must give mother an answer!"

"Really?" The old lady stopped struggling when she heard the words.asked suspiciously.

"Really!" the elder said hurriedly, looking up at the old lady.

The old lady glanced at the old man, seeing the firmness in his eyes that she hadn't seen in his eyes for a long time, she nodded after a while, and said: "Since the old man said so, let's do it, but I hope The uncle can give me an answer as soon as possible, so that I can feel at ease."

"Yes, mother, my son will definitely finish this matter as soon as possible." The elder said with a sigh of relief.

"Grandpa has worked hard today, and I'm tired too." The old lady patted the master's shoulder and motioned for Mammy Liu to help him up, "Grandpa, please go back!"

"Yes!" The elder stood up with the support of Nanny Liu, glanced at the old lady, wiped the sweat from his brow, turned and walked out.

"Old madam..." Standing at the door and watching the old man go out, Nanny Liu turned to look at old madam, hesitating to speak.

"Why? Even you don't trust this kid! Me too!" The old lady lay gently on the kang, and murmured as if talking to herself, "Today's matter will not be so simple, sir Another person who is afraid of Liu's natal family's influence, how can he say that it should be done after more than ten years of habit? Hmph, you let Zhuyue keep an eye on the third girl's house, and tell me if there is any trouble!"

"Yes!" Nanny Liu was obviously not at ease with the Eldest Master, so she responded and turned around and walked out.

"Alas..." As soon as Madam Liu left, the old lady let out a long sigh, but her eyes gradually became sharper and clearer. No matter whether the Elder Master can find out about this matter today, she must not let him fool her. that's it!Mrs. Liu is the daughter-in-law of the Jin family when she marries into their Jin family, so she cannot be allowed to ruin the Jin family!It's just that He Qian really can't afford to support her. She, an old woman, can live for a few more years, so what should this court do?
After coming out of the main courtyard, the Elder went directly to Hefengxuan. Because of the cold night, the gatekeeper’s mother curled up in the porch and took a nap. When the Elder stepped into the threshold, he was surprised that someone was coming, and hurried out of the house. Getting up from the ground, the old man had already entered the yard without seeing him.

There was no porter's wife, and Luozhu and Baojuan, who were waiting in the room, didn't know that the elder was coming. It wasn't until the elder opened the curtain and walked in that Baojuan hurriedly called out. "Master is here."

"Choke!" The teacup that Jin Xingxi had just picked up trembled when he heard the sound, and the teacup fell from his hand, fell straight to the ground, and shattered.

As soon as the Eldest Master came in, he saw Jin Xingxi's terrified expression, his brows frowned and his heart was burning with anger, and before the Eldest Madam got up, he walked over and gave Jin Xingxi a slap in the face, slapping her from time to time After rolling down on the kang, he pointed at her and asked, "Naughty animal! What did you do to make the third girl into what she is now!"

When Jin Xingxi heard that Jin Liu came back alive, he was so frightened that he was slapped and fell to the ground for a long time before he could react. Seeing the ferocious look of the elder, he almost forgot to breathe. How could he know? how to answer.

The eldest lady was also startled, screamed and rolled down from the kang, hugged the pale-faced Jin Xingxi, stared at the elder and asked, "What is the master doing, what did the fifth girl do wrong, come in Hit her without asking anything!"

"What did I do wrong? Do you mother and daughter think I'm a fool?" The old man glared at Jin Xingxi fiercely, "If she didn't have a ghost in her heart, why did she come to you in the middle of the night? If she didn't have a ghost in her heart, why did she always Seeing me, you hit the teacup by mistake?"

"This..." The eldest lady was dumbfounded by the two consecutive questions asked by the elder, and immediately said: "The third girl is naturally worried if she doesn't see the fifth girl. She was with me before you went out. It's not you who brought the third girl." She only came when the girl came back, and besides, you slapped her indiscriminately, not to mention her, even I was shocked, slapping a teacup is nothing!"

The old man was stared at by the big lady's eyes, and his eyes swept over the mother and daughter who were on the ground, smiled coldly, and said: "Okay, you can help her now, when the third girl wakes up, I'll just ask her, and no matter whose fault it is, I will never let it go lightly once I find out who is at fault! Hmph!" After finishing speaking, the old man walked towards the door with a wave of his hands and feet.

"Father!" Jin Xingxi only knew that Jin Liu was brought back, thinking that she would be half dead from illness even if she didn't die, she didn't expect that she would wake up, she was startled when she heard what the old man said, and grabbed him by the hem of his clothes , said in horror: "Father, don't care about your daughter's business, it's really none of your daughter's business!"

"Let go!" The elder didn't want to listen to Jin Xingxi's sophistry at all, grabbed the hem of his clothes and threw her aside.

The eldest lady was also frightened by the elder master's resoluteness, she leaned over and hugged the elder master's leg that was about to step out, and cried, "Master, what's wrong with you, fifth sister is your biological daughter, you are usually You can't even touch her with a single finger, why are you so cruel today, even if you want to blame her, you have to listen to her finish, just walk away like this, do you want to watch her die?"

"In the past, I was too arrogant and pampered her, which made her become like this!" The old man was held by the lady and couldn't move his legs. Seeing their mother and daughter crying like this, he felt a little soft-hearted, and stretched out his hand to help the lady , staring at Jin Xingxi who was on the ground and said: "Okay, don't say that my father is cruel, just say what you have, but don't try to trick me, when the third girl wakes up, I will ask her again!"

Seeing that the old man let go, the eldest lady hurriedly got up and helped him sit down on the edge of the kang, then turned around and helped Jin Xingxi up, squeezed her palm, and said: "My good boy, this matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, Hurry up and tell your father what you just said to your mother, your father will believe you!"

"I..." Hearing this, Jin Xingxi turned to look at the eldest lady, hesitating and speechless.

"Say it!" Da Furen held Jin Xingxi's hand vigorously and urged impatiently.

Jin Xingxi looked at the anxious eyes of the eldest lady, took a deep breath, glanced at the elder, knelt down with a "plop", and cried: "Father, my daughter is wrong!"

The old master was shocked, and looked at Jin Xingxi in disbelief. Although he had concluded that Jin Liu would become what he is now, it must have something to do with her, but when he heard her admitting her mistakes, he still found it hard to accept and was extremely disappointed. Looking at her, he said, "You finally admitted that you were wrong!"

"Master, listen to Fifth Sister!" The eldest lady hurriedly said, pushing Jin Xingxi, motioning her to speak quickly.

Only then did Jin Xingxi sniff her nose, and said: "Father is right, the third sister will become what she is now, and it does have something to do with me. I deliberately spilled wine on the third sister's clothes, and then designed her to come I went up on the painting boat, because I had something to say to my third sister, but after I finished speaking with my third sister, I went back to the small building in Chalin. This week, Mother Zhou and all the guests in Chalin can testify for my daughter. Dare to lie! I didn’t see Third Sister and Bixi coming back from Huafang, so I thought that Third Sister went back to the mansion because she was too angry after talking to me. I didn’t even know that she was still in the tea forest. As for Third Sister What happened in the tea forest, my daughter doesn't even know!"

"What you said is true?" the elder asked suspiciously, looking at Jin Xingxi who was kneeling on the ground crying out of breath.

"Daughter dare not lie to father." Jin Xingxi said with her head bowed.

"Then why are you still in your mother's house at this time? Isn't it because of a guilty conscience? "

Jin Xingxi hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said: "Yes, my daughter has a guilty conscience, because I learned from the people who came back that the third sister was unconscious, because I didn't tell the truth to my father before, and I didn't tell him that I called the third sister. As for Huafang, I’m afraid that the third sister became what she is now because she went to Huafang, and she was afraid of being implicated, so she ran to my mother in fear and asked her to give me advice.”

"Oh?" The old man looked at the old lady, "Then what advice did your mother give you?"

"Mother said..." Jin Xingxi glanced at the eldest lady, saw that she was also looking at him, took a deep breath, and said: "Mother said that I want to tell the truth, mother said that father will definitely make the decision for me!"

"Master doesn't believe in Fifth Sister? Although she is a bit arrogant on weekdays, she is a kind-hearted child. Could it be that you think she wants to kill her own sister?" The eldest lady saw the elder looking at her, her eyes widened. Blinking, tears fell, and he choked and said: "Master, how can this be? I know you always think that the eldest sister is heavier than the fifth sister. Now that the eldest sister is married, the old lady is doting on the third sister. Our fifth sister My son has become someone who no one cares about. As a mother, I also love her so much that I begged the old lady to borrow a tea forest to hold a birthday banquet for her on her birthday today, just to appease her. Speaking of which, Now we don't even know where the third sister was injured or why she was brought back. The elder can't be afraid of the old lady, so he should take responsibility for the innocent fifth sister. Who knows how the third sister became What's happening now, maybe it's her own reasons!"
