Chapter 25
It was inconvenient to recuperate in the temple, so Wen Zifu and Cao arranged for the family to go home.
Both Mrs. Gui and An were injured. Be cautious on the road so as not to touch the wound or hurt your body.
In this way, there is no need to "mass a big fan", and Lin'an Mansion went up the mountain to investigate the case yesterday. Soon, news of the old lady and mother-in-law in danger spread.
Wen Yan didn't sleep in the middle of the night and returned to Xiyuan to make up for the night.
When I woke up and left the house, I saw Madam Huang sitting in the corridor, holding a bowl of rice for Ebony.
"I'll eat first. When the kitchen is empty, I'll catch two bigger fish."
Ebony screamed, feeling aggrieved.
Wen Yan laughed and asked, "Is the kitchen busy?"
"No, it's busy everywhere," said Madam Huang. "The second wife is not touching the ground. She first settled the old lady and the third lady, and then was busy dealing with the people coming to greet each family."
Wen Yan squatted down and rubbed the cat's neck while saying, "Is he really here to greet me?"
"The girl asked questions clearly," Madam Huang smiled. "I heard that there are several families who are asking questions openly, and they want to ask about the matter behind their backs, so it is hard for the second wife to smile."
"It's all like this. There are always people who want to watch the show, but they are not looking forward to it," said Wen Yan. "Isn't my second uncle timid?"
Madam Huang replied: "The girl made it clear that she was not afraid of being weak."
"That's right." After Wen Yan said that, he let go of Ebony and went to Changshou Hall to visit Mrs. Gui.
Bypassing the screen wall, Wen Yan saw Qingzhu coming out of the main house.
Qingzhu is the eldest maid in front of the old lady. On weekdays, An is here, so the old lady rarely lets her approach.
Seeing that she was holding an empty bowl in her hand, Wen Yan asked, "Is grandmother awake?"
"Wake up," Qingzhu said, "I just took the medicine."
Wen Yan entered the house until she sat down beside the bed.
Mrs. Gui looked at her directly, her eyes as if she was looking at a stranger.
Wen Yan didn't mind either.
Their grandparents and grandchildren are originally "face skills", and she can do it if she acts well.
She called out "grandmother" twice with concern, and then turned to ask Mama Liu: "Is grandmother still not awake?"
"I don't even recognize a few servants." said Mama Liu.
Wen Yan sat for a while and was about to leave. He was about to leave, and hurried footsteps came from outside. It turned out that Wen Yuan was back.
Wen Yuan cried into tears.
Mrs. Gui glared at her and suddenly laughed again, laughing like crazy and frightening.
Wen Yuan's tears fell even harder. She blamed the old lady for being partial, which shows that her grandmother was so uncomfortable.
Wen Yan and Mama Liu comforted Wen Yuan and accompanied her to Changyuan.
Wen Yuan was anxious. When she arrived at her mother's bed, she saw her in a coma. She stopped crying and then fell down again.
An's forehead was wrapped with white cloth, and blood was shrouded, making his face look even whiter.
"Three sisters," Wen Yuan grabbed Wen Yan's hand, pressed her voice, and asked, "Is it really my mother who hurts her grandmother?"
Wen Yan pursed her lips: "Who is talking nonsense to you?"
"It's all like this outside," Wen Yuan wiped her tears, "Give me a correct word."
"Don't you believe your mother?" Wen Yan asked back.
Wen Yuan choked.
She didn't know anything before, thinking that her grandmother and mother were in harmony, and she slowly tasted it when she got married.
My mother has suffered great grievances in front of her grandmother over the years, but she has endured them one by one.
After all, patience is limited, especially a few days ago, my mother discovered that something was wrong with the money in the public.
Yinzi is missing, and Wen Yuan is angry, how could his mother not be angry?
The old lady is biased.
New hatreds and old hatreds...
"Believe it," Wen Yuan finally said, "I believe in my mother, I believe she will not do such evil things that are ignorant of morality.
My third sister is a smart person, and it should be seen that my mother and grandmother have not had that good relationship.
Whether you say she is timid or cowardly, she can't do it with a dagger.
My daughter cannot help her feel more comfortable in front of her grandmother, but I want to prove that she is innocent.
She has endured it for so many years and will not be confused...
But she has to wake up, and I hope she wakes up. If she doesn't wake up, her innocence will be hard to prove."
Wen Yan understood what Wen Yuan meant.
Facing the government, whether it is yes or not, that is not!
It is related to the reputation of the Marquis’ Mansion and the future of their descendants. After Mrs. Gui wakes up, she will never talk about her own problems.
She can throw it cleaner than anyone else.
The mansion forced the yamen to pursue the crime, but no one could prove it, so no one could place the charge on An's head.
But An didn't wake up and even died, and the yamen couldn't find the real murderer...
It would be said outside that the old lady dealt with the murderer's daughter-in-law and was seriously injured. What a good reason.
Youyou couldn't stop everyone from talking.
As a daughter, Wen Yuan doesn't want her mother to take such a crime.
Wen Yan held Wen Yuan's hand on his back.
She knew what it felt like to be wronged by her parents, and put her heart in mind, so she knew Wen Yuan's state of mind at this moment.
What's more, with the fabric that Ebony bit off, she knew An's innocence.
"Magistrate Li is not dedicated to his heart, and his second uncle is an official and a miserable man, so he is inconvenient to do things," said Wen Yan. "Sister waits for a few more days, and there will be a solution."
Wen Yuan understood: "You mean that the inspector is coming? There is no evidence, and we just shouted, and the yamen didn't know where to arrest people?"
"The miserable lord shouts for injustice, and the yamen arrests people. You still have to shout," Wen Yan said, "If it weren't possible, I would have to wait for my third uncle to wake up."
When Cao had time, he came to Changyuan and asked Wen Yuan when he would go back to her husband's house, so she could make arrangements.
Wen Yuan turned his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I won't go back. His family said that my mother killed her grandmother and refused to divorce her wife. Do I really want this face?"
Not to mention Wen Yan's surprise, Cao's chin almost fell off.
After a while of breath, Cao recovered and said, "I am an aunt, and I have something to say. Since Sister Yuan has made up her mind, she will relax and live there first. There are not many chopsticks at home. When this matter is over, we will go and ask for an explanation."
Wen Yuan thanked her.
Cao asked someone to clean Wen Yuan's original house. He cleaned it on weekdays, but he was still cleaned, but he lacked bedding and veil, so he had to take advantage of the sun setting to dry it.
When Wen Zifu came to report, he sent a message back, saying that the patrolman had entered the city and that he was busy with business and would not go back to the house for dinner tonight.
Wen Yan looked at Wen Yuan, and Huo Huai decided earlier than expected.
Wen Yuan said: "Three sisters accompany me for a trip?"
Wen Yan will naturally respond.
Cao asked the two of them to be confused and asked, "Come on?"
"Yimen," Wen Yan replied, "reported to the inspector."
The Cao family's only calmed down and suddenly became blocked again.
Wherever you go? Why did you suddenly get here? Is it successful?
Wen Yan smiled at her: "Don't worry, you can't suffer any loss."
Cao responded twice, and when he came to his senses, he had already sent the two sisters out.
She pressed her eyebrows, and no matter how she returned, she was led by Wen Yan in a confused way?
"It doesn't matter?" Cao asked Madam Hu hesitantly, "You said she went to the yamen to complain, why did she still hold a cat?"
Madam Hu didn't understand either: "Miss Three is very reliable. Since she wants to go, there must be an explanation. Besides, isn't Madam Huang still following?"
"That's right." Cao nodded thoughtfully.
As soon as Madam Huang appeared, she was so sharp.
