Chapter 42: Old Secrets

Seeing that she stopped mentioning this matter, Qin Congwen felt a little relieved and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The day after tomorrow is the seventh day of the lunar month. Every year, my aunt goes to Pufa Temple. This year, my aunt is heavy and I am afraid it is not suitable to go, but she is also worried about praying for blessings. My daughter thought that in order to make my aunt feel at ease, I will replace my aunt to go to the temple to add sesame oil the day after tomorrow to pray for the whole family. Do you think it's okay?" Qin Daixin said very politely. She went to Pufa Temple not only for Su, but also for the entire Qin Mansion.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Congwen agreed, and took out a silver note from the side and handed it to her and said, "I'll pay this money. Donating money is a good thing, but it can't be too shabby." He owed Su Yilan too much. Since it was her intention, what reason did she have to refuse? But every year, she would go to Pufa Temple to burn incense, so why didn't she know?

Qin Daixin took it and saw that it was a thousand taels. She didn't hesitate to put it away directly.

"If my father has nothing to do, my daughter will go back now." She had a bad impression of Qin Congwen and did not want to get along alone for a moment.

"You go back! On the seventh day of the lunar month, you should bring more mothers and servants. Don't cause any trouble for your family. Go early and come back early." Qin Congwen's advice is more like a routine. Compared to Su's, it is so cold that it is almost no warmth.

"Yes." Qin Daixin answered obediently. Seeing her cheap father waved her hand, she immediately turned around and left Qin Congwen's study.

When Ailian saw his master coming out, she seemed unhappy and did not dare to ask questions. She hurriedly followed Qin Daixin back.

The master and servant walked all the way through the hall, followed the road in the garden, and returned to Changxiao Garden. Just now, he saw Chunli talking to Ruyi. Seeing that she was coming, the two hurriedly came forward to greet her.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively." She asked casually, thinking that the two sisters were just saying some private whispers, but she unexpectedly heard a piece of news that she had unexpectedly.

"Miss, I heard that the snake was caught and placed in the net." Chunli was a man who couldn't hide his words. When she heard the news, she immediately informed Qin Daixin.

"Who caught it?"

"Miss, you absolutely never thought it was Mama Ji?" Chunli answered first.

Qin Daixin stopped suddenly and turned around and asked, "Who?" She heard it wrong, right?

Chunli said: "It's Mother Ji, how about it? Didn't you think of it?" The little girl looked proud, as if she knew something amazing.

Ruyi glared at her, "In front of the lady, there are more and more rules."

Chunli stuck out her tongue, and she felt that she was too presumptuous. She couldn't blame her for making the lady easier to speak.

"What the hell is going on?" This is strange. Could it be that I was wrong?

"That's right. We have been back for a long time, and Mother Ji has not left. Fang Qiao received your order and did not let someone come forward. Everyone in the yard is doing their own things, so no one will pay attention to her." The master and servant said as they walked, and soon returned to Ai Pavilion.

"The aunt came out for a walk, but she was shocked and fainted at that time. The wet nurse hurriedly helped the aunt back to the house. Everyone in the yard was very afraid of the thing, and no one dared to step forward. This mess caused Mother Ji to make a noise from Xiumei's house. She heard that the movement was not good, so she asked someone to inquire and knew it was a snake, and she was also very surprised." Ruyi handed over a cup of hot tea and continued, "She asked someone to find a bag, and then found a wooden stick with a fork. After searching for the stone for a long time, she found the snake. I heard that she had forked the snake with a stick and put it in a bag, which was safe. Afterwards, my mother Ji asked someone to search for caves everywhere, for fear that there would be a scare again. Fortunately, no one found it, so she went back."

Qin Daixin leaned on the big kang outside, squinted her eyes and listened to Ruyi's ins and outs of things. The more she listened to her, the more she felt that Mama Ji was not a simple person.

"Miss, do you think this mother Ji harmed the aunt or helped the aunt? Why don't I understand?" Ruyi has always been meticulous, but she was a little confused at this time.

Qin Daixin knew that everyone believed that it was Li's affairs, and that Mother Ji was her manager. She came to see Xiumei repeatedly, and there was something wrong inside and outside, which inevitably made people suspicious. Today's events were originally supposed to be fun, but she caught the snake, solved the worries in Lanyuan, and made people think that she was good for Su. After comparing the two things, it made people confused. Even Ruyi couldn't tell whether she was a good person or a bad person at this time.

"Ruyi, did Mother Ji didn't say why she dared to catch a snake?" Qin Daixin did not answer Ruyi, but asked another question.

"I heard that I grew up in the countryside when I was a child. I saw this thing a lot, so I won't be afraid of it anymore." Children who grew up in the countryside were not afraid of snakes, and they even went up the mountain to catch it and sold it for money!

"Busy yours!"

"Yes." Although Ruyi wanted to know the answer, she did not dare to go against Qin Daixin's intention. She waved her hand to signal Chunli and Ailian to go down too. The three of them bowed and then stepped down.

Qin Daixin was still hesitating whether Xiumei’s affairs had anything to do with Li’s family. Now it seems that the mastermind behind that matter is not the second person to think about it except Li.

Today's move is probably a temporary solution. Because she didn't see Xiumei last time, Li was worried about alerting the snake, so this time she sent Ji's mother to contact Xiumei first, and then secretly put the snake. No matter who scares her, as long as the snake was caught by Ji's mother in the end, it can dispel the other party's doubts and no longer doubt her. But in Qin Daixin's opinion, these tricks are a bit overwhelming.

Maybe she didn't think about making a snake to scare Su, but it was so coincidental that the snake scared Su fainted.

"Mrs. Li, maybe I should find an opportunity to greet you!" Qin Daixin stared at the wintersweet on the flower table and murmured to herself.

The news of Su's frightened family spread quickly in the Qin Mansion. Although Qin Congwen and Fang Wanru both tried their best to appease this matter, one did not want to get involved in the struggle between women. As long as the person was fine, he turned a blind eye. The other, needless to say, naturally wanted to watch the fire from the other side and watch the tiger fight. She was the serious legitimate wife. As long as the battle between several concubines was not brought with her, in the end, no matter who won or lost, she would benefit.

After a few warnings and treatments, the servants finally stopped talking and stopped talking about this matter blatantly, but it is hard to say whether there are any people talking about it in private.

Su leaned on the pillow and touched her belly from time to time. She didn't understand why it was so difficult to have a baby by herself!

The wet nurse looked at Su sighing aside, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Miss, don't be sad. The doctor says you think too much and worry too much. Don't be sad about those things." Everything is together, it would be strange if you don't be sad!

Su smiled and comforted the wet nurse and said, "I'm fine, isn't that good now?"

"Oh!" Others don't know the pain in Su's heart. Will the wet nurse still not know? Knowing that she was afraid that she would be sad and sad, she would comfort her in turn, which made her even more sad.

"I can't blame others for this. If you want to blame, I blame my parents for not being able to be tough." Su was a little helpless, but this was her fate. Who could she blame?

In ancient times, in-laws were not as polite as modern times, and they paid attention to freedom and equality. In the past, people all paid attention to equality. Scholars like Su should not marry their daughter to others as concubines. However, the Su family was lost after all, and Su's mother died early. Not only did the concubines in the family become the emperor, but his father was also confused. There was a generous brother at home, and the stingy and selfish sister-in-law...

Such a mother's family can't become her own backer, and Su's family can only swallow her own suffering.

"My mother's family? Even if the wife is still there, the Su family's financial resources and power cannot be compared with the Qin family and Fang family. If you want me to say that if you want to blame, you can only blame the master. He is a man who can't raise the blame. The head of the family can't afford to be a family. Now he doesn't remember any words of what he said to the lady. He was obviously a wife who was married by a matchmaker, and was taken out of the back door and carried in from the back door to become a concubine. He didn't even dare to say a fart." When the wet nurse said excitedly, she couldn't help but raise her voice a little.

When talking about what happened back then, the wet nurse was so angry. The Qin family was a well-known family, but how could they know that they were talking about one thing and doing another? When they came to the Su Mansion to hire him, they obviously wanted to marry Su as their wife, but they didn't know that on the day of marriage, someone used a trick and carried it in through the back door. But the one who worshiped the world in front and entered the bridal chamber was Fang.

It’s not necessary to think about this. The Fang family must have bribed Su’s brother and sister-in-law! Anyway, for them, the latter is more important than money. As for the Su family’s status, whether they live well or not, it is not within their consideration.

Although so many years have passed, the wet nurse will be angry whenever she thinks of such a thing. Over the years, the Su family has been very angry because of their identity.

Su knew that the wet nurse felt sorry for her and was for her good. It would be impossible to say she was not angry, but after all, so many years have passed, and she has long been used to her current life.

"Wuhan, don't mention the matter from the beginning." The people in the mansion were too verbal. If someone heard it, it would be a big problem.

"Miss, you have suffered more than this? You don't think about it. If they hadn't designed to harm you at the beginning, why would we give him away to save his child's life? The eldest son of the Qin family should be your son!"
