Chapter 328: Catching an Adulterer
First Lady Jiang laughed, ”Granny is so smart, she still doesn’t see the mystery? Second Aunt Granny is treating us as her own, speaking and acting casually. That pair of mother and daughter are outsiders, naturally we need to be more polite. The master was transferred to the government office with plenty of oil and water last month, and was promoted to the next level, but it wasn’t because of Meng’s help, which is the real …… those false, we don’t want.”
The most important thing is to have a good man and a good woman to marry into a good family, which is what the Jiang family needs at the moment.
The old lady skimmed her mouth, and said, “That Liu’s too vulgar, talking and loud and do not know what to say, long and ugly, the Meng family still let her out to disgrace. Aigoo, or our Jiang family will teach the daughter, the shi yatou looks to be a wise and capable mother of the house.”
The eldest Mrs. Jiang praised, “Shi-Ya-Tou grew up without a mother, it’s all because her mother-in-law taught her well.”
Only then did old Mrs. Jiang become happy again.
Elder Mrs. Meng was tired and had someone send word that each person would eat their own dinner.
In the side room of the upper room in the main courtyard, Liu and Niu Xiu sat on the bed whispering.
The setting sun dyed the window screen red, and the halo of light filtered in, giving Niu Xiu’s little face a rouge color, making the little girl look even more handsome and attractive.
Looking at her beloved daughter, Liu’s smile intensified.
Niu Xiu’s eyebrows were smiling, holding a string of incense beads wrapped in gold wire in her hand, telling about the time she and Huang Xin were summoned to Fu An Hall to kowtow to Grand Princess Yichang.
“Sister Jingjing accompanied us there, the Grand Princess extremely liked me, took my hand and praised me for my calm demeanor ……”
The Grand Princess of Yichang complimented her daughter’s “calm demeanor”, Liu’s happy.
Today is the first time she is entertaining guests as the head mother of the Cheng Guo Gong Fu, and the old lady has asked Meng Er Granny to follow her around to give her some advice. Although there was surprise and curiosity in those people’s eyes, and no less than in their hearts they were laughing at her, but on the surface they did not lose respect.
Their surface respect, they are also the face of love, and do not make friends, this is enough.
Today’s biggest gain is the performance of the daughter was unanimously praised, almost all the ladies grandmother said she is dignified and stable, clean and handsome, but also with the Zheng House third girl Zheng Jingjing became a handkerchief friendship.
There are not many guests here today, except for the Jiang family, which is a royal family with status, and the daughter’s good reputation is also considered to be spread in the circle of the powerful and noble.
Liu knew that Jiang asked Zheng Tingting to put in a good word with the Grand Princess, and she accepted this favor. There is also Huang Xin, always holding her daughter’s hand to play with the little girls.
After the meal, Liu’s dowry to find a suitable for little girls to do clothing pink soft tobacco Luo, a pair of pearl earrings, let people to Huang Xin and Jiang respectively.
The night was heavy, and the half moon hung high in the sky.
Meng Mansion, quiet.
Not far from the second door there is a small forest, inside there are two rooms, living in the night patrol of the three grannies and a guard the second door of the grannies.
There is a rule in the house to lock the second door at the end of the eleventh hour. As long as the second door is locked, only the old Duke and the old lady have the power to let someone open the lock, and there is something big going on.
After this point, even if the Duke of State and the World Prince want to return to the inner courtyard from the outer courtyard, they have to climb the wall.
The grannies on night patrol would walk around the inner courtyard every two hours, and a few of them opened the door to go out again.
The sound of fine footsteps grew farther and farther away, and a few cat calls came from the wall of the outer courtyard.
It was somewhat similar to Flower’s cries, and those who didn’t know thought it was the pet cat in Great Grandma’s courtyard that had come out to play.
Only the granny who watched the second door knew that it wasn’t Flower’s voice.
The granny came to the window and coughed loudly twice, and the cat calls came again.
There was a situation.
She hurriedly put on her clothes and came to the second door, lightly snapped the second door twice, and a small paper ball was thrown across the other side of the door.
She picked the ball of paper up and opened it, and there were a few words inside that she didn’t recognize, but she saw a turtle drawn on it.
She crumpled the paper into a ball again and ran toward the main courtyard.
The main courtyard was very close to the second gate, and she arrived in half a quarter of an hour.
Liu was sleeping heavily when Qiaolan suddenly woke her up, “First Mistress, a letter has been delivered outside.”
Liu took it and read it, sneering twice.
Having died to that man, she is not sad, but angry. Verbal promises, paper pledges, only a short month and he violated it. He dared to do so, completely disregarding himself.
Tolerating it, that paper agreement is still useless, but also blind to the old master specifically gave her a “hidden stake”.
Liu said, “Let Qiaomei, Qiaojuan copied over, called on two roughneck grannies, and then find out my men’s clothing.”
Her current personal maids came after she left the Niu Mansion, and have never fought with her. Sister Liu was her nursemaid, who was not only old, but would also get in the way.
Qiaomei and Qiaojuan were her maids in her early years, and were invincible in fights with her in the Niu household, and have followed her even after she married.
Qiaolan and Qiaoju both changed their faces, knowing that the First Lady was going to fight. Qiaolan opened the closet to look for men’s clothes, Qiao Ju ran to the backyard to call someone.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu, who had her hair coiled and was wearing men’s power suits, came out of the main courtyard with four women with big waists. Those four people were holding things in their hands, there were those with ropes, those with sticks, and those with ladders.
The moonlight was like water, and the silver glow filled the ground.
A few walked quickly, a few strings of tiny footsteps especially noticeable in the silence.
They hadn’t even gotten to the second door when a few soft growls came from behind, “Who, stop.”
Then came the sound of running, and three grannies on night patrol caught up with them.
“First Lady?”
A granny exclaimed.
“I’m going to the outer courtyard to find Meng Daoming on important matters.” Liu said without changing her face.
Seeing that a few of the grannies were in a difficult situation, she added, “You’ll just pretend you didn’t see it and it won’t involve you.”
The grannies guessed that the First Lady might be going to clean up someone. The gods were going to fight, how dare they say no?
“Oh, we didn’t see anything.” Saying that, a few grannies turned around and walked towards the other side.
When they came to the second door, the granny guarding the door didn’t dare to come out.
Liu handed the key to the woman called Qiaomei, who opened the door and several people walked out.
After the people were let through, the watchwoman didn’t dare to play dumb anymore and ran towards the Floating Life Residence in a flash. The old lady is old and not in good health, the old master and the Duke of the country are living in the front yard, only to go to report to the Shizi master and the second lady.
Liu and the others quickly arrived at Duke Cheng’s outer study, she hadn’t been here before but had heard about the general location and architectural features.
A few people stood down at the door and one person climbed up the wall with a ladder. She rolled over and then opened the door again.
Liu’s several people walked into the courtyard with light footsteps.
This is a one-entry triple courtyard, in the courtyard is planted a huge tree with leaves blown down by the autumn wind from time to time.
Liu stood down and surveyed the small courtyard, saw the small window of the west room of the upper room through the faint light. Listen carefully, there is also the sound of men talking, and occasionally there are women’s voices.
Liu seems to return to a few years ago, every few days she will go to “catch adultery”, sometimes in their own home to catch, sometimes outside to catch. Caught and then beat ……
She thought that kind of days never come back, did not expect to start again today.
