famous concubine

Chapter 362 Family law service (4)
But this matter could be hidden from Dongfang Ni for a while, but not Dongfang Ni for the rest of her life. When the fourth aunt racked her brains to delay the time for Dongfang Ni to know the truth about her disfigurement, whoever said it was a slip of the tongue; Dongfang Ni finally knew This face of hers will never be restored to its original state, and she will have to live with an ugly and scary face for the rest of her life.

In desperation, Dongfang Ni immediately thought of death, so she secretly hid a pair of scissors when the servants were not paying attention, and was going to kill everything and kill herself when the servants were all asleep.

However, when she pointed the scissors at her heart repeatedly, she didn't have the courage to poke it in.

In the end, she burst into tears like crazy in the middle of the night.

When the servants rushed to her room and saw that she was holding scissors in her hand, everyone was shocked.Taking advantage of Dongfang Ni's mental breakdown, someone quietly took away the scissors, and even the needles used for sewing clothes, and all other sharp weapons that could hurt people were quickly and secretly put away.

They didn't have deep feelings for Dongfang Ni, they were just worried that they would be affected by Dongfang Ni. If Dongfang Ni committed suicide, they, as servants serving them, would all be sold out of the house at a low price according to the usual practice; because they were not able to serve , after selling Dongfang Mansion, it will only be bought by some small family and low status people.

In addition to those people who are stingy, it has been circulated among more servants that because those people with low backgrounds are looked down upon by others and because they have a lot of money, they often have some shameful eccentricities, and often reveal some low-level people. Shocking things like having their hands chopped off and drowning in the toilet; just hearing about them is enough to make them tremble with fear.

After knowing that Dongfang Ni was trying to commit suicide, Si Yiniang was so depressed that she couldn't help shedding tears. In order to enlighten Dongfang Ni, she simply moved to Lengcuiyuan to eat and live with Dongfang Ni, and firmly looked at Dongfang Ni.

Although Dongfang Ni was disfigured, she was born after ten months of pregnancy; even if she can't marry into a rich family in the future, it is still possible to match Dongfang Ni with a small family according to Dongfang Mansion's family background, at least let her marry her. She still has someone to rely on when she is old.

Just when Si Yiniang and Dongfang Ni were gradually accepting that Dongfang Ni was accidentally disfigured, one day suddenly, Mama Liu, the confidant that Si Yiniang had always relied on, said mysteriously to Si Yiniang: "Si Yiniang, the servant heard the quiet noise outside. Rumor has it that what happened on the day Fourth Miss sacrificed to her ancestors was not an accident, but was calculated by someone."

The fourth aunt was shocked, she was stunned for a moment, then looked around vigilantly, and hurriedly dragged Mama Liu to a remote corner, and asked in a low voice: "Where did you hear this? Calculated? By whom?"

"Si Yiniang, this servant and servant only heard about it, and I don't know if it's true. Don't get excited after hearing it." Mother Liu glanced at Si Yiniang lightly, lowered her voice very low, and quickly said: "Si Yiniang Do you remember that on the day of the sacrifice, there was a person who did not go to the ancestral grave to pay respects to the ancestors?"

Si Yiniang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I heard you mention this, I remembered, it seems that the second lady didn't go that day, I asked my wife, she said that the second lady got up late, and she would come by herself later, and said We can't let the whole family delay the hour just to wait for her."

After she finished speaking, she was shocked in her heart, and then stared at Mama Liu with wide eyes, and said anxiously: "Mother Liu, you probably heard someone say that this matter has something to do with Second Miss, right?"

Don’t look at the girl in the Oriental language who is smiling all day long, but she knows that since the girl recovered from her madness, her methods are more powerful than the wife’s, but she also knows that although the girl is difficult to deal with, she is still kind-hearted in the end. If she doesn't provoke her first, she will definitely not seek revenge from others.

If there is no real evidence, she doesn't want to mess with that smiling fox, otherwise she won't reap the benefits and make a fuss instead.

"But Xiaoni has been reclusive in Lengcuiyuan, she has never offended the second lady at all!" As for the open and secret battle between Dongfang Yu and his wife, she has always been happy to watch from the sidelines, and at the same time strictly warned Dongfang Ni not to provoke Dongfang Yu.

Mother Liu moved her lips, and after thinking for a while, she decided to tell the matter, "Si aunt, in fact, Miss Si once did something to offend Miss [-] without telling you. Because of that matter, I have always hated Fourth Miss, so..."

"Hiding things to me? I don't know what Xiaoni has done?" The fourth aunt immediately became very anxious when she heard the words. Seeing Liu's mother's ashamed expression, she was probably the only mother who was kept in the dark That's all.

"Does Fourth Aunt still remember the banquet that was held a few months ago when the Empress ordered the female relatives from all the prefectures to go to the palace to watch the flowers?"

"Hundred Flowers Banquet?" Fourth Aunt was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned cold immediately, "You mean, what did Xiaoni do against Second Miss in the palace?"

"What a fool!" Si Yiniang paused for a while, then rubbed the handkerchief angrily. Don't think about it, it must be that the madam used some conditions to seduce Xiao Ni and let her get involved in something.

Xiao Ni, Xiao Ni, Mother has warned you hundreds of times, don't be fooled by Madam; why do you always disobey Mother!
However, it is useless for Fourth Aunt to regret it now; the matter has already happened.

Fourth Yiniang sighed, gritted her teeth, thought for a while, and then said: "Mother Liu, go on, what rumors did you hear outside?"

"My maidservant heard that the Second Miss did not attend the sacrifice on purpose that day; do you think that, depending on her age, the Fourth Miss should have stood where the Second Miss should have stood at that time?"

Si Yiniang frowned and thought about it, recalling the situation of the sacrifice at that time, according to the convention, after the young master Dongfang Xian, it should indeed be the position of Dongfangyu, because of the absence of Dongfangyu, the position was adjusted, and Dongfangni was standing there The location was an accident.

Fourth Yiniang was silent for a while, still frowning, and said: "This does not mean that Second Miss did this."

"Fourth aunt, let me go on, don't think it's good for me to be divorced." Mother Liu lowered her head, but her eyes flashed with an unknown light.Fourth Yiniang immediately said: "How could it be, you have been by my side for many years, if I doubt you, who else can I trust?"

Mother Liu bowed to her, showed a grateful expression, and whispered: "My servant heard that on the day before the sacrifice, when it was getting dark, someone saw a young servant from Lvyiyuan pretending to be a hunter and quietly went to I went to the Dongfang family’s ancestral grave, think about it, isn’t it a well-known thing that the boy in the second lady’s courtyard wants to go to the Dongfang family’s ancestral grave in the dark?”

The fourth aunt was shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Is this true? Has anyone seen it with their own eyes?"

Ms. Liu nodded, "I heard that even though it was late at that time, some people saw them. Not only did they see them, but some people recognized them as the servants of Lvyiyuan."
