MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 36

"You're right." Mrs. Tan said to her daughter, "I'll deal with this matter. No one is allowed to talk. That old woman doesn't go out very often, and the master has banned everyone's feet recently. Even if she can inquire What, and how do I pass it to that **** An Ruochen? Maybe I really found a helper."

As Tan said, she called the girl to call over Anping, the steward, and told him to take someone to the firewood room to see if the old woman had passed away. First, she should be cleaned up first, and then she would get a carriage and quietly send her to a mass grave in the suburbs. Go, don't want others to know. He also asked Anping to pay attention to whether there were any servants in other courtyards who were close to the old nurse except those in the big house, and if so, they should be chased away together. Since the master ordered no one to discuss this matter today, anyone who dares to speak more will be beaten to death. Once the lesson is learned, others will naturally obey.

Anping agreed and went to do it.

Tan asked the concierge to be called again, and asked them who among the outsiders who came in and out on weekdays talked a lot with the servants of the inner courtyard, especially those who had frequent contact with the old nanny. After listening to the concierge finished speaking, he already knew what he was talking about. So he asked the concierge to lock the door. From now on, no matter who asks, he will say that all the servants in the courtyard of the big house have been sent away. If someone specifically asks about the old nanny, they will say that she has returned to her hometown to retire. Whoever asked, remember it clearly, and report it to her to know.

The concierge heard the wind of the master's lecture early today, and saw that all the servants in the big house were indeed dispatched, and he was panicked. Hearing Mrs. Tan's instructions, he hurriedly expressed his loyalty, and he would definitely do things well, and he would never say anything wrong.

The porter left. An Ruoxi was still nervous: "Mother, you must beat and beat Third Auntie's place too. Don't let Third Sister talk nonsense."

Mrs. Tan was thinking about something, when she heard An Ruoxi's nagging, she was very displeased. "What are you panicking about?! I'm in a panic all day long, and I can't stand anything. I know this matter well. If the other side of the third room dares to say a word, I will teach them like I taught that old woman. Also, you have nothing to do. What kind of firewood house, you see what the old woman is doing, what do you want to inquire about, won’t you tell me, you are sneaky, and you can’t hold back, you will only cause trouble. Go back to the room for me. In the future, dare to make up your own mind, See if I don't clean you up."

An Ruoxi was startled, she didn't dare to say more, and ran back to her room.

On the second day, An Ruoxi heard from the maid that all the people on the other side of the big room had been cleared out, and the two girls from the third and fourth rooms were also sent out of the mansion. After the board was sent out. Now everyone in the mansion is really in danger, and they absolutely dare not talk any more.

An Ruoxi didn't know whether the girl who was expelled from the third room was because her mother killed a chicken for a monkey to warn An Ruolan and her daughter, or if the girl really broke her mouth. Talking about the weather and new clothes and jewelry, it was as if what happened yesterday never happened at all. But An Ruoxi always felt that the way An Ruolan looked at her was a bit strange. She quietly asked the eldest maid beside her, but the maid said that she didn't think there was anything wrong with Miss San, she was still the same as before.

An Ruoxi felt that it was unusual, she always felt that there was a thorn in her heart all the time. In the afternoon, she purposely went to An Ruolan, with the excuse that she wanted to play netting together, An Ruolan didn't refuse, and really took the thread to weave together with her. An Ruoxi made it up for a while, and said casually: "Yesterday, I saw that Nanny Song was injured and pitiful, so I took water and medicine to go and have a look. I just fed her some water..."

Before she could finish speaking, An Ruolan said: "Didn't Nanny Song go back to her hometown to take care of herself? Elder sister, are you confused? Ah, my netting looks really good, what do you think, elder sister?"

An Ruoxi was so choked that she could only forcefully say "yes" with a smile. Looking at An Ruolan in a blink of an eye, she was smiling all over her face, but her eyes were full of contempt. An Ruoxi's heart was cold and unhappy, she felt that she was particularly wronged, but she couldn't get angry. She couldn't stay any longer, so she found an excuse and left after sitting for a while.

Aunt Lu brought someone to deliver food to Anfu as usual on this day, and she felt the abnormal atmosphere in Anfu. The kitchen servant who ordered and collected the groceries didn't say a word, just moved his head and left quickly after nodding. The concierge is not as helpful as before, and stays far away, as if he is afraid of causing trouble if he gets close to the kitchen servant. Aunt Lu asked the concierge what happened while waiting for the bill to be collected, did she quarrel with the servant? The concierge said no, it's just that the master sent away all the girls and servants in the eldest lady's yard yesterday, and the maids in other courtyards were also driven out. Now the whole house is careful, lest it will attract the eyes of the master and make it uncomfortable was also chased away.

Aunt Lu was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Everyone in Missy's yard has been sent away? What about Nanny Song?"

The concierge was startled, looked up at Aunt Lu carefully, and then seriously replied: "Nurse Song has gone back to her hometown. She said that she had planned to do so before. If the master sent the whole courtyard away, she would naturally not stay." Come on, I left yesterday."

Aunt Lu was very surprised, and asked the old nanny when did she leave yesterday, did she leave in the carriage or should she find a place to settle in the city first?

The concierge said: "How do you know that. There were a lot of people walking in and out yesterday, and the woman with human teeth came to lead people. There are horse-drawn carts and donkey carts. No one left a message, and I don't know where they all went."

Aunt Lu asked a few more questions, but couldn't find anything. After getting the money for the vegetables, he left.

The concierge waited for Mrs. Lu and the others to go far away, quickly closed the door, and ran to report to Mrs. Tan.

Throughout the day, there were quite a few people who were curious about what was going on in Anfu, and some asked this and that, but the one who asked the old nanny most carefully was only Aunt Lu. After waiting for a day, Mrs. Tan finally confirmed her guess. She summoned Anping and asked him to send someone to inquire about Aunt Lu's activities. Has this woman ever been in or out of Ziyun Tower, and she has contact with An Ruochen.

On the second day, Anping found out about it from the vegetable farmer. Aunt Lu has just received the benefits of Ziyunlou, and she will pick some fresh vegetables and meat for Ziyunlou every two days. Anping also told An Zhifu about this matter, An Zhifu lost his temper, and wanted to replace Aunt Lu, and if she was no longer needed, Anping also told Anping that all households in the city who had good relations with him would not be allowed to buy or sell to Aunt Lu again. manual labor. After hearing this, Mrs. Tan raised an objection. "Master, please don't do this. Mrs. Lu is a good chess player. We use her and let her continue to pass on news to that **** An Ruochen. It won't do us any harm."

An Zhifu was startled, and understood Tan's plan, he frowned, thinking about it.

Tan said again: "What do we have to do with what Aunt Lu said? The government can't blame us. Besides, they didn't murder her, so we definitely won't cause any trouble. It's just to leave a way out, if it is really needed, it will come in handy. Now that everyone in the big room has been sent away, and An Ruochen's prestige of that **** has been shaken, it seems like it's time to meet. Let Xi'er write a greeting post and see how that **** reacts, how about it?"

An Zhifu thought about it again, and finally nodded. General Zong had lobbied for them earlier, saying that An Ruochen hadn't refused, and that he would send a post when he wanted to see them, and follow the usual rules. With the reply, you can enter Ziyun Tower. If there is any more trouble, just look for him again.

Tan was secretly proud, went back and called An Ruoxi, and told her about the matter. "Then Aunt Lu must be An Ruochen's helper. With her help, it will be much easier for you to deal with An Ruochen. What you said to An Ruochen, An Ruochen will definitely need someone to verify, and we will pass some news to you Aunt Lu, if she reports it to An Ruochen, that **** will definitely believe it. You see, God is helping us. You don't have to be afraid of that **** scolding you, just use the method I taught you, and If you complain to her about Mr. Qian's marriage, she will definitely take the bait. If you hold back your anger for a while and deal with that **** in the future, you will get double the grievances you suffered."

An Ruoxi bit her lip, and responded slowly.

On the second day, An Ruoxi went out, she dismissed the girl, and blocked Aunt Lu on her way home after delivering the groceries.

Aunt Lu greeted her as usual when she saw her, and there was nothing unusual about it. An Ruoxi hesitated for a while, but finally made up her mind. She said that she asked Mrs. Lu for help and asked for a quiet place to talk.

Aunt Lu was surprised and was about to refuse, but An Ruoxi pulled her into a side alley.

"Besides my aunt, I don't know who else I can turn to for help. I beg my aunt to listen to me carefully. I dismissed the girl, and there is not much time. It is about Nanny Song, please help her."

Aunt Lu was taken aback, she actually had something to do with An Ruochen's old nanny? Yesterday she felt strange when she heard that the old nanny had gone back to her hometown for retirement, not to mention that the old nanny swore that she would stay in Anfu to scout for An Ruochen, so she changed her mind and should come and tell her One sound. Even if he didn't leave a message with her, wouldn't she even want to see An Ruochen for the last time?

Aunt Lu asked everywhere, but she didn't find any trace of the old nanny. No one had seen her, nor had the old Nan come looking for her. Aunt Lu felt that the matter was strange, now she heard what An Ruoxi said, so she asked: "What's the matter with the second girl?"

An Ruoxi looked out of the alley nervously, as if she was afraid of being seen, she dragged Aunt Lu into the alley again, then lowered her voice and said: "Madam, Nanny Song has passed away. She eavesdropped Father and mother were caught talking, and father punished her in a fit of anger. Nanny Song is too old to stand the beating, so she just left."

Aunt Lu turned pale with shock.

An Ruoxi concealed her own experience in this matter, and only said that after the old lady's incident, her father was afraid that someone in the mansion would spy on the eldest sister, so he simply sent away all the servants in the courtyard of the big house, and was also afraid that the eldest sister would know the old lady The nanny would take revenge if she went like this, so she took advantage of the chaos to transport the old nanny's body out, and quietly threw it in a mass grave outside the city.

Aunt Lu's eyes widened, she was shocked that Yu An Zhifu could be so vicious.

An Ruoxi glanced at the entrance of the alley again, quickly took out a money bag from her pocket, and stuffed it into Aunt Lu's hand.

"Auntie, although Nanny Song and I don't have any friendship, we used to be in and out of the family anyway. She is the only family member of the eldest sister in the world. I really can't bear it. When I think of her old man, there is no place to bury her. ,I…"

An Ruoxi was choked with tears, she glanced at Aunt Lu, wiped away her tears, and continued: "Now all the maids and servants in the family dare not discuss this matter, let alone collect a corpse for Nanny Song. For fear of leaking the news, my parents severely punished several servants. Now everyone is in danger, and I really have no one to look for. I heard that my aunt had some friendship with Nanny Song, so I had the courage to come to my aunt. This matter It's really hard to say, but these are all the money I can come up with. I beg my aunt, for the sake of my eldest sister and Nanny Song, take these money and ask someone to go to the mass grave to find it, and give it to Nanny Song Mama collects the corpse and buys a cemetery to bury her properly."

Aunt Lu frowned, staring at the purse in her hand, she hadn't recovered from her shock and anger.

An Ruoxi looked at her expression, shook her hand vigorously: "Ma'am, I beg you to be kind. I really have no choice. No one in the house can trust me. If my parents know that I have done it I will definitely be punished for this matter. Please help me, Mother Song, this is the last thing we can do for her. "

Aunt Lu took a deep breath and said, "I will inquire about this matter."
