Chapter 188: A Murder Case Caused by a Duck (1)
In March of Yangchun, all things are revived, willows are green and flowers are red, singing and dancing, and the earth is full of vitality.
Looking at the birds chirping happily on the tree, Yuxi said, "If it's on Zhuangzi, it's time to fly a kite now."
Zisu stopped sighing now, and said, "Girl, my uncle is going to end in three days, so you have to express it no matter what?" The so-called expression means going to the mountain to worship the Bodhisattva or reciting sutras at home. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is also a sign of caring about your fiancé.
Yuxi corrected Zisu's mistake: "I'm not married yet, so it's too early to call me uncle." Although it was said that the marriage was scheduled for May, and there were only two months left, they were not married after all. Now the maid next to her is called Uncle Chen Ran, which feels weird.
Zisu said: "That's what I said in private. Girl, don't you really want to fly a kite?"
Seeing Zisu's distraught look, Yuxi stopped teasing her, and said with a smile: "Mother said, she will take me to the mountain to worship Manjusri Bodhisattva in the future." In fact, Yuxi is not worried at all, even if If she doesn't worship the Bodhisattva, Chen Ran will definitely pass the exam. However, as Zisu said, the appearance still needs to be done. Otherwise, the Chen family thought she didn't take Chen Ran seriously!
At this moment, Xun Tao hurried over from the outside and said, "Girl, it's okay, is there a fight in the kitchen?"
Yuxi felt that this matter was very rare, and said, "What's going on? Who is fighting with whom?" Qiu's person is not too strict, but Ye's housekeeper is more strict. It was the first time they had a fight. But according to the rules, it must be severely punished.
Xun Tao said: "Girl, it's the Third Madam's personal maid, Chun Lan, who fought with Cook Madam Fang, as if it was about a duck. No matter how many there are, the slaves won't know."
Fighting over a duck is even rarer. Yuxi smiled and said: "Go to the main courtyard to see what's going on?" I'm bored recently, and I can't miss the excitement, I have to go and watch.
When she arrived at the main courtyard, Yuxi knew what was going on. It turned out that Wen's always wanted to eat Cordyceps and Duck Soup, but the kitchen kept saying there was no such thing. As a result, when Chunlan went to the study today, she saw winter melon and duck soup stewed on the small stove.
Chunlan was indignant and scolded Cook Fang. Chef Fang was not easy to mess with either, and the two quarreled until they got out of control and started fighting.
Chef Fang knelt on the ground and said with her red and swollen face: "Ma'am, the servant said that the duck soup was made for Aunt Jia, but this girl wanted to serve it to the third lady. When I stopped her, she yelled, He also poured out the duck soup on the stove. The servant was so angry that he started fighting with her."
Hearing this, Yuxi raised her brows, admitting her mistakes so easily, which doesn't seem like Chef Fang's style. It should be said that it is not the style of the servants of the Duke's Mansion. Usually when things happen, these people will try their best to push the mistakes on others.
Chunlan not only turned into a pig-headed face, but also had blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. She said angrily, "My wife told me to drink Cordyceps and Duck Soup more than ten days ago, but your kitchen has been saying that you can't find it. Now the duck is Where did it come from? The servant also complained about my wife, so she started arguing with her. I didn't overthrow the soup, but Chef Fang accidentally knocked over it herself."
Yuxi leaned on the chair, and a smile appeared on her face after hearing this. If the child in Aunt Jia's womb is a boy, he will be the heir of the Duke's Mansion in the future. Wen's face is so big that she thinks that the child in her belly is more valuable than Aunt Jia's child?
After hearing this, Qiu threw the teacup on the table on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "I don't know, but the child in Wen's stomach is more precious than my grandson?"
Chunlan's complexion turned pale.
Seeing Qiu Shi stand up, looking like she was about to quarrel, Yu Xi quickly stopped her: "Mother, if you have something to say, don't be angry.
Turning to Li's mother, he said: "The impact of fighting in the mansion is bad, and the two will deduct a year's monthly money each." "
The monthly money for a year is gone, which is equivalent to cutting the flesh of two people. Chef Fang is fine, although her heart aches, but she also knows the status of Miss Si in the mansion, so she dare not have any objection after hearing this. Chunlan didn't have so many worries. When she heard that her monthly payment for a year would be deducted, she immediately murmured that she was Wen's maid, and Yuxi had no right to dispose of her.
Yuxi sneered: "When you arrive at the Han family, you are the slave of the Han family. As a slave, you dare to contradict your master and drag you down to slap your mouth."
As soon as this was said, Mama Li went up to cover Chunlan's mouth and dragged her out. Chunlan struggled, but Liuyin hurried forward to help.
Cook Fang was so frightened that she lowered her head to the ground. Fortunately, she didn't refute just now, otherwise her fate would not be much better than Chunlan's.
Qiu waved his hand and said, "Everyone go down." After everyone had left, Qiu said, "Why do you meddle in this matter? No one will say that you are vicious."
Yu Xi poured a cup of tea for Qiu Shi, and said with a smile: "No one will talk nonsense. Mother doesn't need to be angry, it's just a trivial matter."
Qiu took the tea, drank half of it, put down the teacup and said, "Today I'll eat ginseng and abalone, tomorrow I'll eat shark's fin and bird's nest, and the next day I'll eat Cordyceps, old duck and old hen. Who has such troubles when she's pregnant? "When she was pregnant with Jianming, she didn't make such a fuss.
Yu Xi smiled and said: "It's not that Mother doesn't know that Wen Shi has shallow eyes, so why bother with her." Seeing Qiu Shi's bored face, she said: "If Niang is really impatient, she is actually easy to deal with. "
Qiu Shi straightened her body and said, "Tell me, what can you do?"
Yuxi's method is very simple: "Separate the family. Now that the eldest brother is in charge of the Duke's Mansion, Mother has enough reasons to propose a separation." Yuxi prefers a once-and-for-all method. Things are fundamentally resolved.
Qiu's heart skipped a beat, then she shook her head and said, "Your grandmother won't agree." Dividing up the family can indeed solve the problem. Even if Wen's family wants to eat dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, it has nothing to do with her. It's just that it's impossible for the old lady to agree to a separation.
Yuxi said with a smile: "Mother, it doesn't matter if grandma doesn't agree to the separation of the family, as long as the third uncle wants to separate the family." The most important thing for those who go into official career is reputation, as long as the people in the mansion say a few words about Han Jingyan In the words of his nephew, Han Jingyan listened and guaranteed to take the initiative to separate the family.
Qiu Shi was a little skeptical about this method: "Is it really useful?"
Yuxi laughed and said, "The fight between Chunlan and Cook Madam Fang this time can be used as an introduction. As for whether it works, you'll know after you try it."
Qiu patted Yuxi's head and said, "Yuxi, mother is very happy and relieved that you can help my mother solve her problems. But when you come to Chen's house, you can't get ahead of everything, you know?" With her protection in Han's house, It doesn't matter what Oak-hee does. But it was different in the Chen family. Yuxi married her as the second daughter-in-law, and the most important thing for the second daughter-in-law was to keep her duty. If it is too sharp, it needs to be strong, and the mother-in-law will not like it. There will be no harmony between sisters-in-law.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry about me." When you arrive at Chen's house, just take care of your one-acre three-point land. When Chen Ran stayed in the Hanlin Academy for three years, he would go to a foreign post with Chen Ran, and he didn't have to stay in the house all year round.
Qiu Shi nodded and said: "You have always acted properly, so I won't say more." If possible, she really wanted to keep Yuxi by her side. It's just that girls always get married when they reach their age. Although reluctant, but there will always be such a day.
After leaving Chunlan, Mama Li asked someone to send her back to Biteng Courtyard. Wenshi fainted from fright when she saw Chunlan who was not a good person.
The woman next to Wen's was sent by the old lady, and she felt bad when she saw this, so she quickly ordered the little maid: "Hurry up and get someone to call for the doctor."
The doctor came over, took Wen's pulse and said, "Third Madam was surprised and her fetus moved, but fortunately it's not serious. Take two pastes of anti-abortion medicine first."
The old lady was very annoyed when she found out, and said, "What's going on? Why did the fetus become gassy when it was fine?" Wen's baby was raised quite well, but she didn't expect any side effects.
Luo's mother had already inquired about the cause and effect, and immediately told the old lady everything: "I didn't expect the third lady to have a fetal gas?"
The old lady said with an ugly expression: "The fourth girl is really getting more and more courageous? Do the maids around my aunt dare to beat her? What else is she afraid to do? Just thinking that I dare not touch her just because she wants to get married? "
Mother Luo said: "Old Madam, Miss Four originally fined them a year's monthly payment, but it was Chunlan who said that Miss Four was not qualified to dispose of her because she was the third lady's servant girl, and that angered Miss Four." Eye drops. On the one hand, the Wen family has not considered herself as a member of the Han family, and on the other hand, Chunlan is looking for a fight. A servant girl dared to choke with her master, not looking for a beating.
The old lady also knew that Luo's mother was right, but Yuxi's behavior made her very uncomfortable: "You go to Taoranju yourself, and tell that girl to copy the "Heart Sutra" fifty times." Marriage, house arrest, and beating and scolding are all unacceptable, so this is the only way.
Mother Luo nodded and then asked: "Old madam, the third master came back to know about this at night, so there might be trouble again." The third master was looking forward to the child in Wen's womb. If he knew that it was the fourth girl who attracted the third lady If the fetal gas is moved, I'm afraid it won't be good.
The old lady also felt a headache, Yuxi and her youngest son were enemies in the previous life, otherwise how could the father and daughter have come to this point.
Luo's mother was very worried, and said: "Old lady, the third lady will definitely sue the master. When the time comes, the third master beats the fourth girl in anger, what should I do?" The fourth girl has one finger, the eldest lady must fight the third master desperately.
The old lady said: "Yan'er won't be so disrespectful." There will definitely be anger, but if you want to beat Yuxi, then definitely not.
Seeing this, Mother Luo didn't dare to say any more, she could say something, but it should be done in moderation, otherwise she would be disgusted by the old lady.
