in the sound of swallows

Chapter 22 The Powerful Halo of Our Lady

He followed suit, and Shen Guiya had nothing to say even if he explained.In the morning, she was the one who said that sisters love each other deeply. It stands to reason that she takes care of her sister, and it is natural for her to provide better meals.

What does it mean to lose your wife and lose your army? She originally wanted to attract hatred behind Shen Guiyan's back, but because of Xu's incident, she dragged herself into trouble.

"Ya'er is just thinking that the fourth sister-in-law will eat at the house the first day, so she should take more care of her..." Gritting her teeth, Shen Guiya admitted the matter: "But Ya'er didn't know about the bird's nest, I gave money to let the kitchen do it, but I didn't expect these slaves to take the money and take Aunt Xu's."

While saying that, she covered her stomach with a sad face and said: "Ya'er is also going to be a mother, how could she harm other people's children, it would ruin her own child's life."

Mrs. Gu frowned, glanced at Shen Guiya and Shen Guiyan, and then her eyes fell on Shuang'er below: "The only people who have touched this bird's nest, except for the North Courtyard, are the only people from the kitchen?"

Shuang'er nodded: "The servant girl personally bought the bird's nest and sent it to the kitchen, but she wanted to come back to take care of the master on the way, so she entrusted the maid in the kitchen to take care of it, but she didn't expect to send it to the south courtyard after it was finished, but went to the north courtyard instead. "

Aunt Lin quickly knelt and stepped forward: "Mrs. Mingjian! Ever since the master was pregnant in the mansion, the doctor personally went to the kitchen to tell what can be used and what can't be used. The servants have always been careful, and it is absolutely impossible to mix aloe vera into the master. There are so many pairs of eyes watching in the kitchen!"

Mrs. Gu nodded, looked at Shen Guiyan and said, "In this way, only the North Courtyard is the most suspect. Of course, I believe in Yan'er. She is new to the mansion and has no enmity with Mengdie. How could she do such a thing?" Things are coming. Just to return the North Courtyard’s innocence, let’s torture the servants.”

Shen Guiyan frowned.

This clearly shows that someone wants to make trouble with her, but they still come to torture the people from the North Courtyard?What can be the result of torture?Is it a trick?
"If you want to torture, you should torture the people in the kitchen and the people in the south courtyard together." Gu Chaobei clicked his tongue twice and said, "If it's the people in the kitchen all colluding, and if it's the people in the south courtyard Are the people here not careful?"

"How is it possible?" Shuang'er frowned.

"Swallows who have just entered the mansion may have supernatural powers and know that the bird's nest sent is from Aunt Xu, and they can also know that they can't eat aloe vera when they are pregnant, so they deliberately added it." Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows: "Then why can't it be someone? Even more powerful, set up a trick to frame Yan'er?"

Shen Guiyan couldn't help but look back at him.

Gu Chaobei was still lounging and leaning against the pillars in the hall, with a smile on his face, without looking at her.But what she said was all in her mind.

She has no position to say these words, fortunately there is him.

"Bei'er don't want to mess around." Mrs. Gu didn't take what Gu Chaobei said seriously, probably because she was used to his attitude, she just turned a blind eye to it: "Let's leave the torture of the Beiyuan servants to Steward Gu."

Bao Shan was slightly flustered, and called softly: "Miss."

In the backyard, there are always masters fighting and servants suffering. I thought it was out of Mrs. Shen's palm, but who knows that Mrs. Gu is also unreasonable.

Shen Guiyan straightened her body on her knees and said, "Madam, think twice, it is very inappropriate to use lynching."

Mrs. Gu said with a serious face: "If not, how can you return your North Courtyard's innocence?"

Mrs. Liu was still in a coma on the bed, and Prime Minister Gu happened to have something to stay in the palace tonight and did not come back.If there is no result before the prime minister returns, she will be too remiss as the mistress.

In fact, as long as the east courtyard is not involved, Mrs. Gu doesn't care, just choose any courtyard to take the blame.Anyway, in the end, it was pushed to the servants, but it just made the master not have a good impression of that yard in his heart.

Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Since Aunt Xu ate aloe vera by mistake, Yan'er felt that it would be more useful to find out from the aloe vera than to torture servants. Which yard in this mansion planted aloe vera? Or if someone bought the aloe vera and checked the source and destination, wouldn't the truth be revealed?"

Everyone was taken aback, Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows slightly, and Gu Chaonan nodded directly: "This is a good idea."

A group of people have shirked their responsibilities here for a long time, but they didn't even think about this, Shen Guiya pursed her lips and said: "Sister is right, there are not many places in this Aloe Mansion that are needed, since Ya'er came in to take charge of the purchase I haven’t bought this thing before. I grow two pots in the South Court.”

"Oh?" Mrs. Gu couldn't get off the stage, took a sip of tea before coughing lightly: "There is only aloe vera in the south courtyard of the mansion?"

Shuang'er, who was kneeling on the ground, was silent for a while before saying: "There are indeed some in the south yard, but haven't they been planted in other yards? It can't be that the master wants to harm himself, can he? Everyone takes care of the child carefully, Seeing that it has been five months, it just disappeared..."

As he spoke, he choked up again, and lowered his head to wipe away his tears.

Shen Guiyan said: "Regardless of what's going on in the south courtyard, the suspicion of the north courtyard and the kitchen is gone. Madam Mingjian, the north courtyard is innocent. Yan'er looked around the first day she came here. Jiang doesn't like it." Flowers and plants, the flower pots in the backyard are all empty, there is no green, let alone aloe vera."

Mrs. Gu frowned, Shen Guiya curled her lips and said, "There is none in the north courtyard, but there may be two on the side of the road outside, this is not certain."

I have explained everything that can be explained, and if she still has to splash it on her, Shen Guiyan also feels helpless, so she can only silently look at Gu Chaobei.

Gu Chaobei looked back at her calmly and shook his head slightly.Let them go, the big deal is that a group of people in the north courtyard will suffer, and she will be fine.

"lady!"

Shen Guiyan was about to let them go to investigate, but the maid from the south courtyard suddenly shouted outside: "Aunt Xu begged Madam to go to the south courtyard to have a look!"

Xu Mengdie woke up, crying in great grief after the induction of labor, and rarely came to beg his wife to come over.Madam Gu got up, and Shen Guiyan and a group of house slaves also got up and walked towards the south courtyard together.

After kneeling for a long time, her legs felt numb, Shen Guiyan lowered her head and grinned, Gu Chaobei stretched out her hand and said in a low voice: "Just be honest, didn't you see that Shen Guiya didn't kneel down? Didn't you kneel down?" You are too embarrassed to get up, how are you, kneeling numb, right?"

Shen Guiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Etiquette should always be thoughtful, right?"

"Some people, the more polite you are, the more she wants to bully you." Gu Chaobei snorted lightly, "It's almost enough."

Shen Guiyan was slightly taken aback.

Shen Guiya walked ahead with Gu Chaodong, Gu Chaodong couldn't help but look back, and then asked the people next to him in a deep voice: "You did it?"

"What?" Shen Guiya's expression changed: "Me?"

"Isn't it?" Gu Chaodong pursed his lips: "You can remove the belly of the second child's family and cause trouble for Yan'er. Isn't it you who benefit the most?"

Shen Guiya gritted her teeth angrily: "Gu Chaodong, I'm your wife who helps you with things, why do you have such an accusatory tone? Let's not say that I didn't do it, even if I did it, what would you do? ? Divorced me for your sister-in-law?"

Gu Chaodong frowned, it was extremely impolite to call her by his name, let alone he was her husband.And he just asked a question, and her reaction made him feel a little annoyed.

After a while, Shen Guiya also felt that something was wrong, seeing Gu Chaodong's unattractive face, she quickly went to hold his arm with a smile: "I was too loud just now, sir, don't be angry, I'm not angry with you. Believe me? How could I be so vicious?"

Gu Chaodong hooked the corners of his mouth and did not speak. He became more and more unable to understand this woman. At first he thought it was shameless, but later he thought it was deep thought.How can a pampered boudoir woman make him feel a little scary to a dignified man?

When we arrived at the South Courtyard, Mrs. Gu went in first, and then another servant girl came out and said, "Please let the first young lady and the fourth young lady go in."

Shen Guiyan took a deep breath, and followed Shen Guiya into the room.

It is said that Xu Mengdie is a very gentle Jiangnan woman, I don't know what he will say when he comes to them now.The North Courtyard has already taken half of the scapegoat, if this person has trouble with the North Courtyard and wants to push all the scapegoats over, then the people in the North Courtyard will have a hard time to taste.

As soon as he entered, he saw a pale face. Xu Mengdie looked very delicate and exquisite, with the unique temperament of Jiangnan women.Seeing them come in, he even smiled at Shen Guiyan.

"Let Madam and the two young ladies worry about it." Xu Mengdie said weakly: "If you eat the wrong food, you can only blame Mengdie for his own bad luck. If the child is gone, it will be gone, and Madam should not embarrass the Fourth Young Madam gone."

Mrs. Gu frowned, knowing that Xu Mengdie woke up and wanted to speak for the North Courtyard. Gu's second child was also a tiger with a smiling face, and he had a good relationship with everyone on weekdays, except Gu Chaodong.This time, such a big event happened, and you still have to take it down for the North Courtyard?
"The good child is gone, you don't want an explanation?" Mrs. Gu said: "Nan Yu (Madam Liu's boudoir name) fainted because of this matter, how do you want me to explain to her?"

"If the child is gone, you can have it again. Family harmony is the most important thing." Xu Mengdie looked at Shen Guiyan with a smile and said, "The Fourth Young Madam has just entered the mansion, so I can't just be spoiled by these things. Wait Mrs. Liu is awake, and Mengdie will explain herself."

Isn't the halo of the Holy Mother too powerful?Shen Guiya was dumbfounded, her own child was gone, how could she not blame others at all, just for the sake of family harmony?

Ancient women are terrible.

Shen Guiyan also felt that something was wrong, and was about to say something, but Xu Mengdie said: "When I saw the fourth young lady, I felt that I had a good relationship. She is definitely not the one who wants to harm me. I can't find anything if I check again. Come on, why not forget it like this, and keep the friendship between Mengdie and the Fourth Young Madam."

Mrs. Gu was silent, looking at Shen Guiyan.

Shen Guiyan lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "The one who cleans up will clean up by himself. It doesn't matter whether it is checked or not. It is a good thing that Mengdie can see it."
