Chapter 51 Birthday Banquet (3)
When Mrs. Liu San said this, the hall suddenly became quiet, and the room was surprisingly quiet. Xun Qingran looked around and saw Zeng Jing's face suddenly turned pale.
"Brother-in-law is not that kind of person! You can't let someone falsely accuse your brother-in-law like this." Zeng Ning stopped walking, stomped his feet, and rushed out regardless of the girl at the door.
Zeng Jing held his hands tightly together, bit his lips and hesitated for a moment, and then followed him out.
Xun Shufang looked at Xun Shulan, "I just saw that the wife looked a little bad, so why don't we go and have a look too." Then he pulled Xun Shulan out.
Xun Qingran stood up and followed her. She was also curious, not knowing what happened there, which led to Mrs. Liu San's accusation just now.
I saw the hall lights and the seats on both sides were full of people. Mrs. Liu San's eyes were blood red, she pulled Fang Xin's clothes and said that she wanted Fang Xin to pay her life for Liu Lian.
Mrs. Liu cried beside her, "The miserable Lan'er is just here to celebrate her birthday, but she has evil thoughts and harmed you. My miserable child..."
Grandma Xun held Mrs. Liu and wiped her tears, "Please give my sister an explanation."
Xun Qingran secretly made a difference. Why did Mrs. Liu and Grandma Xun change their minds so quickly? Mrs. Liu San suddenly understood.
Fang Xin frowned, "Mrs. Third Madam, what are you like? Your daughter is dead, there are many doubts here, I will definitely give you an explanation. But you slander me so unclearly, I don't have the same knowledge as you, a woman, and only talk to your old man."
A thin and gray-bearded old man stood up at this time and said with a stern face: "What do you women know? What is the shameless thing that makes you quarrel like this? Go home, and I will deal with this matter."
"No, I want him to pay my life to my Lan'er. Don't bully our orphans and widows. Without Lan'er, what's the point of living? You might as well strangle me to death..."
Xun Qingran suddenly felt someone pulling her clothes. When she looked down, it was Bao Jie'er standing next to her at some point.
"My mother is sick again. My girls are not sure where they are. I'm afraid, can you be with me?" Sister Bao'er's eyes were red, and there were still tears on her cheeks.
Xun Qingran sighed. Of course, the fewer people know about this, the better, so they sent all the girls and the women out.
"Okay, then let's go there and sit for a while. Wait until your girl comes and send you back to the room, okay?"
Xun Qingran planned to take Sister Bao back to the room just now.
Bao Jie'er shook her head, "I just came from there, there is someone, I don't like her. You are a good person, I can only feel better if you accompany me. Come with me, those people are very annoying, let's go to the Bishaguck to talk."
Xun Qingran hesitated a little and felt that it was not good to walk around at this time. But Baoer held her hand and her little face was full of pleading.
"All right."
As if she was afraid that Xun Qingran would run away, Bao Jie held Xun Qingran's hand tightly with one hand, took a few steps, and wanted to look back to see if Xun Qingran was there. She was so nervous that Xun Qingran couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
This is the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, with the house covered by the house. Baojie took Xun Qingyan to a small compartment, and the furniture inside was very childlike, and it was obviously a child's room.
Sister Bao pulled Xun Qingran and sat down on the small bed.
"You are a good person, and the sisters in the room are also good people. Only you haven't peeked at my dad. Wait for me to give you fruit." Sister Bao lowered her eyes, and after she finished speaking, she jumped out of bed and turned to behind the screen on the side.
Xun Qingran reacted and chased after him. The screen was empty and the person who had already disappeared was gone. Only a narrow door on the wall was wide open.
Xun Qingran turned around and walked to the door, pushed it, but the door didn't move. Xun Qingran smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, then turned the screen and passed through the narrow door on the wall, but a small living room. Xun Qingran shouted "Sister Bao?" while watching. Then she saw another door opposite the living room, with bead curtains hanging from the door, and a sweet fragrance came from the bead curtains.
Xun Qingran walked to the pearl curtain.
"Mom, how can you do this? How can you tell the Marquis to see people in the future!" said a weak voice.
Xun Qingran stopped.
"What is this matter for a man? Everyone will only say that the woman is a vixen, and the identity of the son-in-law is not hindered. This is also for your sake. Brother Zong wants to inherit the title in the future, and Brother Bao and Brother Guan are still young. Although you are good to your son-in-law, your son-in-law cares about love, but if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather..."
"Oh..." a weak voice sighed.
"It's a man who is very affectionate, but if you miss you for a few days, when the newcomer is soft and gentle in his arms, who can still think of the one in the land? If the newcomer has a son, looking at the vast wealth of the Marquis' Mansion, it is hard to guarantee that he will not have any other thoughts. My mother can't always be in this Marquis' Mansion, just thinking that although you two sisters, although they were not born by my mother, were all grown up by my mother's side, and they were held in my palm. None of them dared to treat Baoer and the others unfairly. Jing'er is more honest, so my mother wants her to follow the Marquis."
"It's okay if you have this idea. I said I will make arrangements. But, mom, how did you do such a thing?"
"People's heart is separated from the belly. I am afraid that my son-in-law will gradually change his heart. I think if her position is unstable, she can be honest. The people in your backyard are old and have low backgrounds, and I am afraid that they will not be able to fight. This girl from the Liu family has a good appearance and a precious identity. But she only has a widowed mother. With such a great power, even if we bully her, she can only recognize her. With such a noble concubine from a house who is against her, she must rely on me and your children everywhere. This is the perfect solution."
"Cough cough cough..." The person on the bed coughed violently, as if he was about to cough out his lungs, which made people feel very heartbreaking.
"Child, why did you vomit blood? My God..."
"Mom, you have a good plan. A precious concubine is also a concubine. Although an earl is nothing in this capital, she is also a noble family and a shameful family. Liu Lian has no father, but she is also the legitimate daughter of the Liu family. She became a concubine, how could her brothers raise their heads? What should her sisters do in her in-laws' house? What kind of family will her girl marry in the future? Even if Liu Lian is willing, their family will not be willing. The censor in the court is not a waste of money. The Marquis is not a descendant of the royal family. Mom, you have killed my life..."
"Why did that? I have served your father as a few officials. If something happens, both families will hide it. But if you take it as a concubine, you will give some compensation. You are still here, and their Liu family brings girls from time to time. What kind of respect can they be? What kind of family can they suffer? "
The man on the bed sighed, "Mom, it's fine if you do this trap, why do you kill her?"
"I don't... Don't worry, it's not that girl Jing'er. She doesn't have the courage. I just wanted her to make money into the house of Marquis Zhuyuan, and wet Liu Lan's skirt and asked Liu Lan to take off her skirt. Jing'er ran away with her skirt. I went out and told Liu Lan that she would be a concubine or I would argue, saying that she was not a wife and could steal men. Liu Lan just cried. I saw her temperament twice and was a soft man. She was frightened by me and was already willing. I asked her to wait there, but when I came back and took the skirt and wanted to send it to her, I heard that she was dead. I didn't expect she could not think so."
"Mom, you haven't understood yet. It's not that she can't think about it, she was killed by someone."
"Do you believe her? The Liu family said that, but you still want to sue the Marquis' Mansion."
"Ahem..., it's true. I've been there to see it."
"Ah? It's really not me. She was still fine when I left."
"It's better if you are not you." The person on the bed was silent for a while, "I understand... Mom, you know and I know this. No matter what happens in the future, don't tell me. Otherwise, the charge of murder will fall on you. Even if you can get rid of this crime, you will not be good for the Zeng family's reputation. Jing'er, you should marry her from afar."
"This, I still think she is good, so I asked her to follow the Marquis, and the Zeng Fang family will come..."
"Mom, you can calculate, there are many more people than you can calculate. We have been plotted by others. Liu Lian's life, I can guess what I want to change to us. Mom, remember what I said, get rid of that skirt quickly and stop mentioning any marriage. I am tired, so you can go out first."
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
Xun Qingran heard the footsteps gradually fading away, thinking about how to deal with it.
"Miss Three, please come in and speak." The man on the bed said.
Xun Qingran smiled bitterly and had to walk in slowly. Grandma Fang was leaning against the bed and looking at her.
"We just talked, did the third girl hear it?"
"What does Madam want me to do?"
Xun Qingran walked to Grandma Fang's bed and sat down on the embroidery pier openly.
Grandma Fang smiled, "That time, the Marquis went to your house for a full moon banquet. I was very happy when I came back and taught Baoer and Guaner a little trick. I asked him, and he said he met a very interesting woman and told me how you taught children how to treat guests... My illness cannot be cured, but I am just delaying life. Both the Marquis and I understand. The Marquis' Mansion cannot be without a head grandma, and this head grandma cannot be a person in another room. My children are still young and need someone to teach them well. Both the Marquis and I want to find a virtuous woman...and I, I also hope that this woman is loved by the Marquis."
Grandma Fang's face showed a rare glow when she spoke. Xun Qingran listened quietly without interrupting.
"You have seen and heard about what happened today. The death of the girl from the Liu family was not something I took. This matter was originally intended to be hidden from the common sense. Everyone has face, but it was revealed. I can't stand this disaster. I want to entrust the Marquis, my children and this Marquis' Mansion to you."
Grandma Fang leaned out of the bed and wanted to hold Xun Qingran's hand.
