Chapter 210 Who owes the debt (1 more)
When the third master left, Lin Shuangyu gave a hint, Fangxiang and Dashuang also left one after another, and only Grandma Kui and Lin Shuangyu were left in the room.
"Grandma Kui, I heard that my mother likes that crabapple most..."
"Yes, so the lady only found an old woman to take care of the crabapple. Now it is the flowering period and it is blooming very well. Unfortunately, the eldest lady didn't see her..."
The old woman looks very talkative, but why did she look like a transparent person after so many years in the stewardship?
"The eldest lady has liked Haitang since she was a child. If the lady looked at her, she would also like it..."
"Since I was a child..." Lin Shuangyu lowered her head, her fingers fell on the mouth of the teacup. The sound was not loud, but the air instantly solidified.
Grandma Kui smiled, dipped in tea and wrote a word on the table, "Miss, this is my maid's surname."
On the desktop, the handwriting is gradually drying, but it can still be clearly seen that it is a word "purple".
Zi... The surname is Zi, since childhood... I smiled slightly, looked up again, and there was no expression on my face, "This surname is rare, you are from Zi's family."
So many years have passed, why have she been staying in the Lin family and not moving? Even if she appears, she will not react at all. If it weren't for the search this time, would she have lived her life quietly?
"I am just a servant of the Zi family, and I can barely be considered a member of the Zi family. However, my master is not the second lady, but the eldest lady of the Zi family and the aunt of the lady."
Aunt...her mother?
Is she really her mother's person? Then why has she never seen her before? There are too many ghosts and monsters in this world, so how can she believe her after hearing her words? If she were her mother's person, why did she stay in the Lin Mansion for so many years?
If it were my mother, if it were the Zi family, how could she watch her only descendant be sent away? If she remembered correctly, there was only Aunt Muzi by my mother back then, who was the old man who was originally in the Zi family?
Didn't follow the Mohist family?
"You are not deaf!" His eyes were sharper.
"Not deaf!" very honest.
"How could my mother's servant come to my mother's side? Why did she enter the Lin Mansion for?"
"I have been serving the eldest lady since I was a child. Later, the young lady got married, so I stayed in the Zi family and did not marry with her... The second lady was born late and I also watched her grow up. She had completely different personalities with the eldest lady... After the incident in the Zi family, I was entrusted by the eldest lady to find the second lady and stayed by the second lady. If so..."
"Is your name "Madam Kui or what?" Lin Shuangyu suddenly spoke, without saying anything. If it were someone else, I'm afraid that he would be impatient to ask the bottom of the matter at this moment.
Grandma Zi's dark eyes flashed, and she looked quite kind when she smiled. She was just a little intriguing with her hunched image.
"My name is Zikui. I can call her any lady. If she is not interested in listening to these old past events, I will not say it. The lady is looking for me to listen to the second lady, so you can ask."
It’s not that she doesn’t want to hear it, it’s really, but... Now, she wants to know more whether every word she says is true. If it’s a false statement, why should she waste this time and understand the meaning of her words for nothing.
If it is true, it is not too late.
"I heard what you said, when the Zi family was killed, you can still obey your aunt's arrangements. Since that's the case, you should know that my mother is the only descendant of the Zi family. Of course, you should protect her, but people say that you are not serving my mother, but are responsible for managing the flowers and plants in the yard..."
The problems must be understood one by one.
Grandma Kui didn't answer immediately, her old eyes stared at Lin Shuangyu without blinking, and after a long time, she said, "Miss, it looks like a person..."
"Oh? Who do you look like?" Lin Shuangyu probably knew the answer in his heart.
My grandfather once said that she looked like her mother, or her aunt...
"My master, your aunt! Zi Linglong, the eldest lady of the Zi family, looks very similar!"
Recalling the past, a look of confusion appeared on Grandma Kui's face, but her whole body looked much softer than before.
It seems that it really looks like it. It's also true. She is my mother's daughter and she grew up little by little. How could she not be like it? The only thing that is certain now is that this Grandma Kui, regardless of whether it is true or not, must be someone familiar with her.
Because she looks different from her mother...
"... The master that Grandma Kui always said was me... Auntie, so even if you arrived at the Lin family and were by my mother, you did not treat my mother as a master. You just fulfilled your promise to my aunt, stayed by my mother and helped to serve the flowers and plants, right?"
If it was the one who my mother asked to take care of my aunt, she would definitely have some skills. If she was with her aunt... her mother took good care of her, would she find something? Will she not die of a difficult childbirth in the end?
Then there is her. My aunt died. In theory, she was the only descendant of the Zi family. She was just a baby in the cradle at that time. Even though this Aoi was unable to protect her at that time, she would try every possible way, at least she would not do anything.
If she was really a loyal servant, why did she not even show her face when she returned to the Lin family...
So, how could she not doubt it?
If there was no such statement that would convince her, she would not believe anything she said.
Aoi sighed, "Miss is blaming me, I have nothing to say. Indeed, in my heart, there is always only one master of me, but since I have listened to the eldest lady's arrangement, how could I not do my best? It's just... I am like this, the second lady... I didn't let me serve me in front of me. The lady can find me today, which means that the lady already knows...at least I suspect that the second lady had a reason for the difficult childbirth that year."
"So, do you know the truth?"
Lin Shuangyu was still calm. The tea in the cup was already cold. She poured it into the tray and refilled the cup as if nothing had happened. She held the cup and took a sip. She had time, so she didn't rush, so she said slowly.
"I don't know who caused it, but it's certain that Miss II was indeed killed."
"Tell me," Lin Shuangyu's body shook, but her face was still unmoved.
She looks like a young lady, calm and calm, and doesn't write anything on her face. Her calm personality is exactly the same as a young lady.
It's really a lady...but she couldn't figure out what was going on at the beginning, so she kept observing it secretly.
"Since the lady is suspicious, I must have discovered something. When I found the second lady, the second lady took me into the mansion, but I didn't ask me to serve me in front of me. It's not a palpitations since I was a child and timid. I was injured and hunched. It looked undesirable. At first, the second lady asked me to lead a free laborer in the yard, but in fact I wanted me to take care of my old age. But I couldn't stay idle, so I was like the second lady asking for a job of serving flowers and plants."
Lin Shuangyu did not interrupt her, but she still savored tea quietly and listened carefully.
"...The Zi family suddenly had an accident, and the eldest lady couldn't take care of herself and told me. If the second lady lived in peace, she would not mention the other things she had told me, so that she would live a peaceful life... The second lady and her son-in-law Qinse were in harmony, and the husband and wife were in love, so I never mentioned a word. At that time, the only thing that was not perfect was that the second lady was not pregnant for several years..."
"Later, the second lady finally got pregnant. She was as happy as a child, and was careful everywhere and cautious in everything... My son-in-law also took good care of her, and I also relaxed my vigilance. Unexpectedly, there was someone in this scholarly family, who seemed to be harmonious, and I felt something was wrong when the second lady gradually gained weight."
"My mother has palpitations, so it's not easy to get pregnant. If something is something, others won't be too suspicious, right?"
It's just over the past, let's continue listening. The point is what she said just now, what the young lady told me not to mention easily...
Grandma Kui nodded, "During the second lady's pregnancy, because the doctor said that the fetus was too big and difficult to give birth, the second lady was always very jealous, but her body was still heavy day by day. I secretly checked the second lady's meal, and even the fetal medicine was relieved. Every time I finished the medicine, I checked it, and there was no problem. At that time, I thought, it might be because the second lady was too worried and her emotions were up and down..."
"Then how did you find out later..."
"It's the corpse..."
Lin Shuangyu closed her eyes silently. Even if she suspected her, she could not find any evidence. She was a little suspicious of this person back then. Is it really the second wife of the second wife?
She has such great ability? What methods did she use?
"I'm useless. I know something is wrong, but I'm watching the second lady be worried and cautious all day long, but I don't have any way to do it. I don't dare to eat or drink, and I have to eat or drink, for fear that the lady will be hungry in her stomach... until it starts..."
Speaking of this, Grandma Kui adjusted her breathing and continued: "Miss Second Miss couldn't bear it in the end. Fortunately, the lady was born safely. I felt guilty and was inconvenient to go to the mourning hall to worship, so I sneaked to see the second Miss at night and told her that I will take good care of the lady... But I accidentally found that there were several small dark spots on the back of my hand. I knew that it was a poison spot..."
"Poisonous spots?"
My eyes suddenly opened a little wider and my voice was raised a little higher. The poison spots were the evidence that they were poisoned before death and appeared on the surface of the skin after death. So obvious, why didn't others find it?
"I used mercury... After the second lady died, someone poured her mercury as soon as possible... But time was rushed, so I couldn't see it on my face... If I hadn't helped the lady tidy up her sleeves, I wouldn't have noticed..."
It took three days to show signs after the mortals. After thinking about it, she knew what was going on. She wanted to take a closer look. When someone came into the mourning hall, she had to give up.
She was able to recognize poison spots, and she was also a little bit known to the young lady. She was not proficient in medical science... She wanted to tell her son-in-law, but her son-in-law became ill immediately.
She also had to send the lady to the village... She was also confused about what happened later. She hesitated if the child born to the second lady with her life.
"... Taking advantage of the opportunity to guard the second lady's grave, I went to the village to find the lady... Thinking of it, I could protect the lady... But I rushed to Yaozhou and finally found the lady, but found that... it was not the lady, I had seen it when the lady was born."
"This, Miss has a mole, and she has it when she was born."
Grandma Kui pointed at the bottom of her ear, Lin Shuangyu raised her hand and touched her, "So, I went back to Lin's mansion, you didn't take it seriously, do you think I'm fake?"
Mercury! In an instant, the whole person fell into an ice cellar.
"Yes, I have also looked for it later, but I have no ability and didn't find the lady... I thought... the lady is no longer alive! When I heard that the lady returned home, I was still thinking about seeing who did it, and I thought I could capture the person behind the scenes..."
"When did you know that I'm not fake?"
"Aren't that girl Fangxiang serving her? I asked and said, when the lady was born, I hugged her and had a mole under my ear. I had blown her, but I didn't expect..."
"God treats you well! The lady is still alive, and the Zi family still has a trace of blood!"
Lin Shuangyu didn't seem very excited, but she was still a little confused. Not to mention the true or falsehood of what she said, it is certain that she is familiar with the Zi family and a person who knows her mother's past, so no matter what the situation is, she will leave her behind.
Because, she needs to know everything she doesn't know.
She would have a way to tell the truth of her words, "You have been staying in the Lin family for years and have not left, why?"
"Because, I don't know where to go... I thought that if I stay here, even if I live for a long time, I would have followed the instructions of the eldest lady."
At the end of the day, a look of desolation appeared on Grandma Kui's face.
Lin Shuangyu put down the teacup, took out the embroidered handkerchief and rolled it in her hand, and did not rush to ask about her mother and the other things about the Zi family, because she would not believe it easily without being sure.
Let’s figure out the matter in front of her first. After all, the person is already in front of her, so she can’t be anxious.
"Grandma Kui, thank you for your hard work over the years..."
"Miss, what's going on? I heard that girl Fangxiang said, but I still didn't dare to find her... I'm afraid! If the person who killed the second lady and the lady were still in the house..."
"Don't you doubt Aunt San?"
