Yijia Yishi

Chapter 36 Rumors
Aunt An looked at the two little maidservants trembling on the ground, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and asked: "Xing'er, what's going on?"

Xing'er's eyes widened angrily, she pointed at the two little maids and said coldly: "Just now when I was going to clean the room, I happened to hear these two lifeless things chewing their tongues."

"Chewing tongue?" Aunt An looked at the two little girls with a sullen face again, her suspicions grew more and more, she turned her face and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Those two little girls were frightened out of their wits, and now they just kowtowed and begged for mercy.Xing'er raised her eyebrows, glared at the two of them, gritted her teeth and said, "They are chewing the tongue of Miss Seven."

"Fang'er?" Aunt An took a deep breath, but she would not easily let go of anything related to her children.At this moment, when he heard that it was related to her daughter, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he took two steps forward and said bitterly: "Since it is about Miss Seven, then I have to listen carefully."

The two little maidservants had already become weak from fright, lying on the ground unable to move.

Seeing that they were silent, Aunt An pouted at Xing'er.

Xing'er nodded slightly, grabbed one by the hair and said sharply: "Liu'er, tell me, what did you just say?"

The maid named Liu'er was trembling all over, tears were flying, she had a good face, the fat and powder from crying faded, she endured the pain and said: "My aunt, please forgive me, my servant will never dare again."

Aunt An's lips were stern: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me, what did you say about Miss Seven?"

That Liu'er still gritted her teeth and refused to speak.

Aunt An winked at Nanny Chen, and Nanny Chen raised her chin, and said slowly: "Your servant sees that she doesn't want to talk about it, so if that's the case, I might as well pull out that black hair and send it to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law, so that she won't be in trouble in the future." Stay at the mansion to chew your tongue and make arrangements for your master."

Hearing this, the other little girl named Si'er who was kneeling on the ground suddenly cried "Wow" in fright, walked forward on her knees, hugged Aunt An's leg, and poured a bean into a bamboo tube. The rumors she had heard about Sixth Miss Lu Shuqing and Seventh Miss Lu Shufang being at odds because of He Tai, and the rumors that Lu Shufang went to find out what He Tai liked, she told them verbatim.

She cried with red eyes: "Your servant also heard it, please enlighten me, please enlighten me..."

After hearing this, Aunt An's whole body went numb like thunder.Her daughter has not yet reached Jiji's age, let alone betrothed to anyone else. With such rumors, how can she find a good husband's family?
She can endure anything in this world, except for children...

Aunt An's eyes were red, and she tightly squeezed the handkerchief in her hand.As she swayed slightly, a pair of red gold hollowed-out dangling heart earrings on her ears bumped around like tottering butterflies.

"Tell me, who is spreading the rumors?" Aunt An stretched out her finger and asked Si'er in a sharp voice: "I tell you, if you can't tell the reason today, then don't want your face. "

Nanny Chen also looked shocked, and hurriedly supported Aunt An: "Don't be angry, be careful that you will break your body."

Aunt An's face was flushed, and she raised her hand to caress her chest: "How can I not be angry? These thieves and slaves, it's not good to slander anyone, but they want to slander my Fang'er."

Si'er was so frightened that he couldn't stop crying, whimpering and saying: "I don't know who spread the rumor..."

"You don't know?" Aunt An's tone was cold, she glanced at Xing'er: "Who is her mother? Does this house have her relatives?"

Xing'er reported: "She bought it from outside, and she has no relatives around."

Aunt An said "Oh", her eyes fell on Si'er, and a smile that made one's bone marrow curled up on the corner of her mouth, said lightly: "Since I bought it, it's a lot easier to handle." She looked at With a pitch-black carved partition, the voice was calm and steady: "Didn't a girl drown in the pool in the backyard last year?"

Si'er was sweating all over his body, as if washed by water, his face was pale and he wailed loudly: "My servant... I also listened to what Liu'er said, and I really don't know anything about the rest."

Liu'er was frightened to death a long time ago, so she dared not say anything at this moment, she just said: "I heard the story from Huier, the daughter of Li Siniang in the kitchen... Huier... Huier also heard what she said..."

Aunt An was startled, it seemed that there were not one or two people who heard this.

She thought about it carefully, and the only ones who knew about this were the maids in Lu Shuyi's room, the maids around Lu Shuqing, and the people around Lu Shufang.In addition, the people who are most likely to know about this are the people around Third Tai Pei.It's just that this matter is also detrimental to Lu Shuqing, and it is absolutely impossible for Pei to do it.

From this point of view, it is Lu Shuyi who is most likely to spread rumors.But Lu Shuyi has people around her, if she really did it, why didn't Huan'er and Xiu'er come to report it?
With a glint in her eyes, she turned around and sat on the bed weakly. She stared fiercely at the two servant girls on the ground: "Shut me up in the firewood room and starve me for three days, and see if they dare to gossip again in the future." root."

Xing'er replied yes, and Fang pulled people down.

Sitting on the couch, Aunt An couldn't calm down, so she told Nanny Chen: "Go, find a reason to call Huan'er and Xiu'er over quietly."

Mother Chen replied yes, and was about to go out to call Huan'er and Xiu'er, but before they reached the door, Huan'er hurried in.

"Auntie is looking for you!" Nanny Chen quietly pouted her lips and made an angry expression.

Huan'er understood, and walked in cautiously.

There was only Aunt An in the room, and Aunt An's complexion was extremely bad, and her eyes were still full of anger, like burning flames.

When Huan'er saw this, she didn't dare to say a word, she just timidly bowed her knees and saluted, lowering her eyebrows and whispering: "Is there something I can order from your servant?"

Aunt An clutched the handkerchief in her hand, forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart, raised her eyebrows, and repeated what Cai Si'er said just now, she said coldly: "Did your third lady do this?"

Huan'er actually heard some rumors early in the morning, and she also had her own calculations in mind.

"Miss San is very quiet, but..." She hesitated to speak, and pursed her lips lightly.

Aunt An slapped the corner of the table: "Just what? Tell me quickly?"

Huan'er squeezed her fingers, Xiu'er's proud expression was in her mind, she said: "Actually, this is why this servant came here, because this servant found out that... this servant found out that Xiu'er was flattering third and eighth misses." Her eyes After turning around, he recounted the matter of Xiu'er making contacts for Lu Shujing and the matter of Lu Shuyi's reward.

Aunt An was startled, she stretched her neck and said, "You mean...the rumors that Xiu'er spread? She is working for Miss San?"

Huan'er also learned some shrewdness from Aunt An, knowing how to advance and retreat.She also understood what happened in the past two days, Lu Shuyi is not just a domineering lady, maybe she can rely on her in the future!

At this moment, she didn't want to offend Lu Shuyi completely, so she considered it carefully: "I don't think it was Miss San who ordered her to do it. It's probably Xiu'er who did it to please Miss San and gain her trust." After a pause, she continued. : "Didn't Si'er just say that she heard from Li Siniang's daughter in the kitchen? Then Li Siniang used to be from the West Mansion..."
