Chapter 30 Vinegar
Li Lijun enjoyed her second breakfast quietly. Grandma Cui was thinking about the east courtyard and rushed over to help Grandma Lu handle the matter.
Li Lijun was not in a hurry. Mrs. Shao had already gotten up at this time, so it was just in time to ask her for information.
Although Ms. Shao is said to be soft-tempered and prone to crying at every turn, she is actually not stupid. On the contrary, she is quite smart. She is naturally pessimistic and likes to think about the worst in everything. But because of her personality, she often
I have noticed those unfriendly messages, and I am always wary of outsiders and will not believe them easily. There are many stupid people around Li Lijun, and now I need someone who likes to pour cold water on them to give them some advice.
Lady Shao knew more than she expected. As the daughter-in-law of Grandma Cui, she was a slave born in the Sui Palace. She knew everything about the interpersonal relationships within the palace and the Chen family.
We even know who has a grudge against whom, who is related to whom, who is more attached to the Chen family, who is secretly involved with the Xiao Yang family, or who is closely related to Princess Dou, mother and son...
There are many things that Li Lijun would never have imagined if Lady Shao hadn't told her about them. Fortunately, she asked Lady Shao about them today, otherwise with the little information in her memory, it would not have been so easy to figure out the little Yang family!
Li Lijun took a few more pages of notes, and the outline of the plan in her mind became clearer.
Mrs. Shao looked at her with some worry: "What do you want to do after asking about all these things? Now that the princess is willing to come forward to protect the young lady, the young lady will temporarily leave the matter to the princess, okay? You are still young.
, you’re injured again, so it’s better to rest peacefully. When you get better, what can’t you do? You have to waste your energy at this time..."
Li Lijun raised her head and smiled at her: "Don't worry, nurse, I'm fine, nothing will happen to me."
Mrs. Shao sighed: "The wound is still so painful that I can't sleep, but she still wants to make us happy..."
Li Lijun coughed, Erhong snickered, and whispered a few words into Madam Shao's ear. The latter showed an expression of realization and relaxed a lot. But she reminded Li Lijun again: "Even if the little lady is not seriously injured,
, you should put on a show, and don’t just talk about it in front of outsiders. Who knows if there are other people’s eyes and ears in this garden? If someone discovers it, report it to the heir, the young lady will
How to defend? Doctors may not be as willing to stand on our side in everything as they were in the past..."
Li Lijun had no choice but to make many promises. Hearing the voices of the two nuns, she approached the water pavilion and quickly asked, "Are the nuns back?" This diverted Lady Shao's attention.
Mrs. Shao welcomed her out, and sure enough, it was Grandma Cui and Grandma Lu who came over. They did not bring any entourage, and after entering the door, they ordered Er Hong to guard the door. They gathered in Li Lijun's bedroom with a mysterious look, and talked with her
Discuss the matter of thieves.
Aunt Lu said: "If At Cui hadn't mentioned it, I would never have thought that little Yang might have wanted to throw dirty water on the lady, so she specially called someone to steal things! I thought she was just
He was trying to find an excuse to drive us all out of the palace! Fortunately, the little lady is smart and didn’t let that bitch take advantage of her!"
Li Lijun waved her hand and asked her: "Has the person who stole the things confessed? Is there any witness or physical evidence that can prove Mrs. Yang?"
Grandma Lu sighed: "Two girls got the purses given by Ama. They contained some golden melon seeds, but there are no marks on them, so they can't prove anything. Even if there is a witness, the heir king may not believe it."
Aunt Cui sneered from the side: "If Xiao Yang didn't have evil intentions, why did she let people steal the lady's handkerchief? It even had the lady's mark embroidered on it!"
It turned out that Aunt Cui had just returned to the East Courtyard and was really helpful. Without her warning, Aunt Lu would never have been suspicious of the stolen handkerchief. She just thought it was a stolen property and the maid just took the handkerchief.
She wrapped the stolen goods in her hand. Now they all think that Xiao Yang must have asked someone to steal it on purpose. All jewelry and property are incidental and a cover-up, and the handkerchief with Chen's mark is what she really wants!
Several maids who had become thieves were interrogated all night, and they became more and more frightened. Someone had just confessed, admitting that Xiao Yang specially asked her to steal the personal belongings of the heir princess, such as handkerchiefs, silk shawls, purses, jade pendants, etc.
It would be better if there were underwear! The maid knew that the matter was very important and did not dare to actually touch Chen's underwear, so she had to find a handkerchief at random. But now she knows that she was wrong and is willing to testify against Xiao Yang in front of others.
Shi.
Li Lijun did not comment on the authenticity of this confession and did not expect such accusations to have any effect in front of her father Li Dai. She just asked the two nuns to remember to bring the thieves together with those who were willing to testify against Xiao Yang.
That maid - leave it to Princess Dou. Anyway, in the Sui Palace now, Princess Dou is the mistress of the house, and it is right for her to leave the affairs of the inner court to her.
In addition, the nuns should always pay attention to what is going on in the West Courtyard, and don't let anyone take advantage of the loophole. After Mrs. Chen passed away, Li Lijun moved to the Water Pavilion to recuperate, and the two courtyards were temporarily without an owner.
When you are in charge, you need to stick to your door and don't let others plot against you.
As for the slaves below, if they intend to stay, of course they have not said anything. They will arrange their missions and future treatment; but if they are unwilling to stay, there is no need to force them. As long as they are not like those maids who became thieves
Generally, those who have been bribed to rebel against their master can be let go. We can all get together and part ways, and we will continue to live in the same palace from now on, leaving some incense and love, and maybe there will be some use for others in the future.
But for those whose behavior was suspicious but who showed no obvious flaws, Li Lijun advocated using the name of her mother Chen's funeral to send them to guard the tomb or to pray for the deceased, or to send them to the farm where Chen's dowry was.
Do things slowly and observe before proceeding. After all, when people arrive at Chen's farm, it is equivalent to arriving at their own territory. Are you afraid that they will run away? You can see people's hearts over time, and by using this method, you are not afraid of wrongly accusing anyone.
The two aunts had no objections to Li Lijun's disposal plan. They felt that the little lady had really grown up. A few days ago, she only knew how to eat and play, but now she could arrange the places for her servants in an orderly manner. She was truly worthy of being an old lady.
He is a close relative of his wife and is naturally smart and capable!
Aunt Cui also said that she had asked her son to pass on what the young lady ordered yesterday. Although it is not yet known how many people will leave, everyone who heard about it praised the young lady for her benevolence, kindness and kindness, and that she had the legacy of her maternal ancestors.
As long as those who have not lost their conscience, even if they really leave, they will still remember the grace of the little lady in their hearts and dare not commit any act of surrendering to the enemy and betraying the Lord.
Aunt Cui said in a low voice: "People who are used to doing business have a strong balance in their hearts. Even if they admire the splendor of nobles from high families, they still have to live a down-to-earth life. Instead of going to the enemy who killed my wife, it is better to
Find another supporter. There are many noble people in Chang'an who are in urgent need of help to take care of their family business. Who can't join them? Who doesn't want to find a kind master who can live with peace of mind in the future and will not give up his life and future easily? Xiao Xiao
Yang’s natal family is not a prominent and high-ranking family, the most prestigious is the head of the other house, and not everyone in my family is of the same mind as her, so it is not her turn to show off her power!"
Grandma Cui gave an example. For example, the old lady of the Yang family and several gentlemen who came to express their condolences this morning were clearly giving way to the eldest lady, Jian. The eldest lady was closer to Chujun, and did not agree with the younger Yang's treatment of Yanjun, the third lady.
Teaching. Mr. Yang wanted to invite the old lady to the back house for tea and to see Shiro, but she also refused.
The old lady of the Yang family wanted to come to visit Li Lijun, but Princess Dou declined because the child needed to recuperate. They went to Li Jianrang's house and turned little Yang away. I don't know what they talked about.
