Chapter 141: Mo Yu Yun Jian
"This matter originally had nothing to do with you. It just so happened that Jiang Yue died not long after you were sent to the Chaste Maiden Hall."
This is indeed a coincidence. It gives people the impression that the legitimate daughter was dealt with, and then the concubine's daughter also got into trouble. This has to make people suspicious.
"Originally, this happened more than ten years ago. I didn't want to tell you about it now. But when I saw Aunt Hu that day, her eyes were clear and bright, and she didn't look crazy at all. But when she saw Ji Shuran, she was filled with fear."
Hearing this, Jiu Ning couldn't help but have the same guess as Xue Fangfei. She had some impression of this person. When her mother just married into the Jiang Mansion, Aunt Hu was pregnant.
Both the grandmother and the father were unwilling to keep the child, fearing that it would become a stain on the Jiang family, but in the end it was the mother who stepped forward and saved the child.
Not long after that, my mother also became pregnant, and both of them gave birth to daughters. Aunt Hu has always been very respectful to my mother, taking care of her in every way and being very considerate.
In her impression, Aunt Hu was a person who knew her limits and was very clear-headed.
There was no conflict with Ji Shuran, who came into the mansion later, so there shouldn't be any conflict after she left. It seems that I should find time to meet this concubine Hu.
Regardless of whether the other person is really crazy or pretending to be crazy, considering that she has taken care of him for many years, she should visit him once or twice.
Jiu Ning told Xue Fangfei about this idea. Xue Fangfei wanted to persuade her to wait until the marriage to check before going, but she usually had nothing to do.
The second aunt also came to Beijing half a month ago to arrange her wedding. Lai Biao also came with her. He helped Uncle Li. The restaurant in the mansion was managed by the two of them.
She had nothing to do, so it was just right for her to go now. Moreover, ever since Aunt Hu showed up at the ancestral worship ceremony, Ji Shuran was afraid that she would say something she shouldn't, so she had already moved her to the nunnery. Wouldn't this make it more convenient for them to act?
As they spoke, the two of them drove there together. In a mountain forest outside Beijing, a very simple nunnery came into view.
Aunt Hu was only left with a little maid to serve her. Jiu Ning and his group stood in front of a dilapidated house. There was not even a decent bed inside, and the windows were all broken, which was heartbreaking to look at.
"Sister Xue, the person doesn't seem to be in the house. Let's split up and look for him!"
Tong'er was holding a small lantern and following behind the two of them. Before the three of them could separate, a noise was heard in the distance.
"You crazy bitch, give me the thing."
"No, this is my Yue'er's thing."
"Let go..."
The two of them started fighting over a very old rattle. The maid was so angry that she even pushed Aunt Hu a few times.
Xue Fangfei quickly ran a few steps and immediately stepped forward to stop him: "What are you doing? Is this how you treat your master?"
The maid was dressed in servant's clothes, but the jade bracelet on her hand was quite beautiful.
She didn't expect that someone would come to such a remote place, and was seen by the other party. She was immediately frightened and her face turned pale, and she knelt down to explain.
"Second Madam Jiang, please don't blame me. It was Madam Hu who had a hysterical attack. I really had no choice but to..."
Xue Fangfei immediately frowned and scolded: "How dare you quibble? I saw it with my own eyes just now, and you dare to lie to me.
The mansion sends the monthly allowance on time every month, but you have left this place in such a mess. If I see you treating your master like this again, I will praise you in front of my grandmother.
The maidservant kowtowed and thanked the emperor, saying that she would never do it again, and then turned and left.
While the two were confronting each other, Aunt Hu secretly raised her eyes, looked at Xue Fangfei, and then looked at Jiu Ning.
Jiu Ning was not wearing a veil today, so she would naturally look more like one in Aunt Hu's eyes. However, everyone called the woman next to her Madam Jiang Er, which made her a little afraid to speak.
Jiu Ning saw all of Aunt Hu's looks. After the maid left, the three of them helped Aunt Hu back to her room.
Aunt Hu hugged herself while holding the rattle tightly in her hand, but she dared not look at anyone again.
Xue Fangfei did not go forward to talk to her, but sat aside. Jiu Ning gently came to sit next to Aunt Hu, staring at her.
"Auntie Hu, I'm A-Li, do you remember me?"
Aunt Hu immediately widened her eyes and looked at the other person, then immediately lowered her head.
It seems that the other party is not crazy, he just doesn't want to talk to her.
"I have not returned to the Jiang family. His Majesty has already bestowed upon me the title of Princess of Yongping County, and I will be married into the Duke of Su's mansion as his principal wife.
My status is already comparable to Ji Shuran's. I wonder if Aunt Hu would like to talk to me about it?"
Jiuning said this in order to dispel the other party's concerns.
Sure enough, the other party stopped muttering to himself, stopped shaking the rattle, and his expression became silent. He just smiled bitterly.
"That day at the ancestral temple, I intended to attract the attention of the Second Lady, but I was afraid of recognizing the wrong person, so I didn't dare to speak.
Who would have thought that Ali is indeed someone else? You look so much like your mother. In a trance, I almost shouted,
Since you have already left the Jiang family, don't get involved in this mess again. It will do you no good."
After saying that, the person wilted again. Jiu Ning leaned forward and held the person in his arms.
"Hasn't Aunt Hu been pretending to be crazy for so many years, just waiting for an opportunity?"
Feeling the warm embrace, Aunt Hu's eyes suddenly became red, and tears fell drop by drop on Jiuning's shoulder.
"Wow! My Yue'er... I thought I would never be able to wait any longer..."
Aunt Hu kept venting her emotions. After so many years of being monitored and abused, she could no longer bear it.
Fortunately, she waited until she came, woooo! She really couldn't hold on any longer.
"Back then, everyone said Yue Er fell into the lake because she was having fun. No one investigated and just believed Ji Shuran's words.
But as a mother, how could I not understand my daughter? She clearly has a large scar on her forehead, yet everyone turns a blind eye to it."
Several people looked at Aunt Hu, who looked sad and angry, and told her what had happened in the past.
"Later I learned that when Jiang Ruoyao snatched the toy from Yue'er's hand, Ji Shuran was so angry that she pushed Yue'er hard, causing her head to hit the rockery.
If she had been given timely treatment... Who would have thought that not only would Ji Shuran not save her, she would order Mother Sun to carry Yue'er to the rockery and push her into the lake, creating the illusion that Yue'er had fallen from the rockery!
The more Aunt Hu spoke, the more she hated him. In the end, she gritted her teeth and told the whole story.
Xue Fangfei asked curiously, "How did you know everything that happened?"
Aunt Hu looked at Xue Fangfei, then turned to look at Jiu Ning. When Jiu Ning nodded, she continued.
"My maid Baoqin was with Yue'er that day. She was there to get some food for Yue'er. When she came back, she heard what Ji Shuran said.
She didn't dare to say anything at the time, so she could only rush back to inform me. By the time I arrived, Yue'er was already dead."
"What about the man holding the zither?"
Aunt Hu sighed, "She was used as a scapegoat, accused of not serving the Jiang family well, and was driven out of the Jiang family. From then on, no one knew where she went."
