Seeking Happiness Chapter 31: Tit-for-tat
It is sunny after the rain, and the moonlight is like water.
No one was interested in talking, so all three of them were silent as they walked along. They could only hear the rustle of embroidered shoes rubbing on the wet stone floor.
Until stepping into the courtyard of Songhetang, Shisu turned back and bolted the gate, and then when she went in to report first, Aunt Yun whispered: "Mother, it's really not me..."
Shu Huan glanced at her.
Her face was as pale as moonlight, and there was grievance in her eyes, as well as confusion and helplessness.
"I know it's not you."
When people do good things, they often rely on their instincts, but when they do bad things, they do it for profit. Aunt Yun can only be profitable if she is threatened by holding that matter. If she stabbed her out, it would hurt both sides. This is why the two of them are here at this time. I just don’t know if Aunt Yun has thought about it. People who count others will be counted by others in the end. Unfortunately, she will do nothing and follow the arrow...
Shu Huan sighed secretly and asked: "What did my parents say to you?"
Aunt Yun shook her head and said: "I didn’t say anything, I asked their mistress how literate, they said that you learned with the scholar, I asked people to ask about the rest, except for the sachet. Besides, there is nothing else."
Shu Huan felt calm, pulled the hem of her dress, and walked up the steps.
When things are approaching, she is not afraid of it anymore, and even if it is afraid, it will not help.
is just a praying mantis catching a cicada, the oriole is behind, and Auntie Yun is a praying mantis, who is that bird?
As soon as the two of them entered the main hall, they saw the old lady sitting on the head with a calm face, her expression was even uglier than Gu Xihe described.
Shu Huan took a step forward and bowed first: "I have seen the old lady."
The old lady snorted coldly, and shouted: "Everyone will retreat to me, no one in the house is allowed to stay!"
"Yes." Zisu and other maids responded, and they all walked out nervously and closed the door.
The old lady walked personally, bolted the door, and then glanced over the faces of Shu Huan and Aunt Yun, and shouted: "Kneel down!"
's voice sounded like a thunderbolt. Aunt Yun's body trembled, and she knelt down first.
Shu Huan brushed her clothes and knelt down.
The old lady turned around and sat down, looking at them with a gloomy expression. I don’t know how long the time has passed, and finally heard her say: "Where is the sachet? Don't hand it over!"
really did it for this!
had been mentally prepared for a long time, Shu Huan still had a twitching eyelid, wondering how many eyes and ears had been placed next to him, or in Shengmei Pavilion.
Aunt Yun's body trembled again, after hesitating for a moment, she suddenly gritted her teeth and said: "Back to Taijun, I have burned the sachet."
"Burn it?" The old lady sneered and didn't believe it: "Who are you covering up for?"
Aunt Yun was desperate, she went to the doctor in a hurry, she caught something wrong, she wanted to use it to threaten Shu Huan, but she refuted it in the morning, she thought about things from the beginning and the end, and found that she did her own mistake. In other words, what was wrong was to take Shu Huan's uninhibited casualness as a naive ignorant of world affairs, only then found out that she was the naïve in thinking!
handed over the sachet, she couldn’t put it down, so she bit the bullet and said: "Yanniang is afraid to take it with her, if she loses it, or if she is not seen by the maids, she burns it to get it right. ."
"You--" The old lady patted the table and pointed her finger at her. He was so angry that he couldn't speak. After a while, he looked at Shu Huan angrily and said: "Na Xiang Did you actually make the bag and give it away?"
The old lady seems to know the inside story very well. This is embarrassing. Shu Huan, it is clear that she did not do it. Accept it, she is unwilling, but if you deny it, others will still be regarded as her doing it, deny Just because of a guilty conscience.
She had no choice but to solemnly said: "Taijun knows that my family is poor. Before we get married, I have to make some needlework and sell money for rice every day. The clothes sewn over the years and the sachet fan sets that I have made are countless. I don’t remember if I did it, and I never gave it away."
The old lady glared at her, suffocating two words: "Sophistry!"
Shu Huan didn't say anything anymore, just looked at her calmly.
Regardless of whether the sachet was actually burned, anyway, since Aunt Yun had already said it was burned, she couldn't take it out again. There was nothing to compare, everything was speculation and there was no evidence.
The old lady looked at her directly. Although she was annoyed by her rudeness, but strangely, her anger subsided a little. Then she asked her: "Is it true that you learned Chinese characters with that scholar?"
Shu Huan stabilized his mind, and quickly passed through the life background of the original owner that Gu Xiran had said before, nodding in response: "He often washes clothes with clothes. Sometimes when he is free, he will teach me to recognize two words and speak knowledge. With the words, you can embroider some words and verses on the embroidery. The literati’s favorite is also sold for two more. If it weren’t for this, how could my mother let me recognize the words?"
such a guess, even if it is not a fact, it should not be far from the fact.
The old lady doesn’t understand her background as clearly as Gu Xiran, but it’s not too small. At this moment, he listened carefully to her words and pondered for a while, but couldn’t find any loopholes. Instead, she seemed to be very calm and had to be cold. Said: "Lonely men and widows are often together, who knows what they will do!"
This questioning is different from last time. Last time, she lost her hand and caused the fire and felt guilty. This time she admitted that she had done nothing wrong and did not feel wronged at all, so Shu Huan did not dodge her eyes and straightened her spine. Said: "Taijun, please forgive me for being rude. Although I came from a poor family, I also know the courtesy, justice and shame. Besides, I have learned Chinese characters, knowing some truths, and I will not do anything to humiliate my family! It has been a few years since I learned Chinese characters. I’m still young and I’m not in time. What can I do for a mere child?"
The old lady was choked by her, and said angrily: "Then you will also embroider the sachet of mandarin ducks playing in the water? After reading the book, I still don't know what that pair of mandarin ducks means ?"
I was so quick to ask about this, Aunt Yun paled with horror, and quietly tugged at her sleeve~IndoMTL.com~ let her stop talking.
Who knows that Shu Huan is also annoyed. I think this old lady has a hobby of planting **** pots on her head, and regardless of Aunt Yun’s dissuasion, she said loudly: "Taijun, I went back before. That sachet is I don’t know what I embroidered. Besides, I haven’t given this thing to anyone. If you don’t believe me, no matter who you look for to confront him, I will always say this!
This time, she bet!
Just as the old lady told them that when they came to question, she didn't believe in the mysterious appearance, she could really publicize the matter and asked someone to confront it! Even if you are confronted with each other, you are not afraid of it.
The old lady seems to have the habit of smashing the tea bowl, so he picked up the tea bowl on the table and smashed it towards her. She didn’t hide, and there was no time to hide, but the old lady’s eyes were bad, and the tea bowl was still smashed. It fell on Aunt Yun's body, and the tea inside splashed all over her. Fortunately, it was not freshly brewed tea. It was already cold, so I was not afraid of burns.
Aunt Yun was shocked, her eyes were already in tears.
The old lady glanced at her in disgust: "What are you wronged for? You didn't cause this matter!"
said, turning to Shu Huan, and sternly asked: "I don't care about the sachet, is it true or false?"
even this happened!
It turns out that the old lady cares most about this!
I was afraid that she would have an affair with someone before she got married, so she added wild species to Gu's family!
is clearly a very severe question. If you don’t respond well, you will suffer. But somehow, Shu Huan felt relieved, and smiled slightly: "No such thing! If you don’t believe it, you will pass it right now. Let the doctor get your pulse!"
