044 complaint
After Huang Shi left the
flower hall, she brought Yi Ling angrily to the east room of Rong'an Hall. Su Shi
was kneeling in the small Buddhist hall behind and chanting. In the small
Buddhist hall, incense gradually rose, filling it.
Seeing Huang Shi come, Wang Shi,
who is beside Su shi walked into the small Buddhist hall and leaned over
and whispered in Su shi's ear.
Hearing this, Su Shi‘s voice,
which was still chanting the scriptures, stagnated and the movement of her
hands was also a paused. She slowly opened her eyes and faintly said: "Let
her wait." After speaking, Su Shi closed her eyes and continued to
recite the scriptures, the movements of the hands getting faster and faster.
Wang Mama answered softly,
then she retreated and said to Huang shi: "Third Furen, the
old Furen is still reciting the scriptures, please wait a moment."
Huang Shi has secretly hated in her heart, but
she couldn't help but wait impatiently.
After a while, Su Shi came
out slowly with the support of the maid Donger. After sitting down, she asks:
"What's the matter?"
Huang Shi who is holding and
waiting for the opportunity to vent straightforwardly said: "Mother, you
don't know ah! Second sister-in-law is so brave. She has switched a few items
in the warehouse!"
Old Furen who was still
indifferent suddenly stood up from the armchair with her face full of anger,
"What did you say?! The items in the warehouse have been switched by Lin Shi?!"
Huang shi nodded vigorously
and insisted on turning white into black, "She also threatened
daughter-in-law and not allowed daughter-in-law to speak out!" After
that she says Lin shi at first received the items from the warehouse and
decorated the flower hall. But suddenly returned those items to the warehouse,
picked up another batch of items and decorated the flower hall again. She was
only surprised at first, but when she went to the warehouse to check the items,
she unexpectedly discovered that several of the items were fake...Huang Shi talked
eloquently from beginning to the end there was reason and evidence.
After the shock, Su Shi gradually
calmed down and sat back on the armchair. She frowned and said to Dong'er next
to her: "Go and call Lin Shi for me."
"Yes, old Furen!"
After a while, Dong'er brought Lin Shi
and Nangong Yue.
"Pay respects to mother
(grandmother)."
Su Shi did not directly
question Lin Shi, but turned to Huang Shi and said: "Huang Shi,
repeat what you just said."
"Yes, Mother." Huang Shi
took a step forward, lifted his chin slightly, and looked arrogant.
"Daughter-in-law accidentally discovered that Second Sister-in-law had
recently secretly switched several items in the warehouse by virtue of her
position!"
"Third Dimei! How can
you talk falsehood!" Lin shi looked at the Huang Shi in
disbelief, her eyes widened slightly, "Why would I do this!" Then she
hurriedly explained to Su Shi, "Old Furen, daughter-in-law
really didn't do it. Daughter-in-law just called a few items from the
warehouse. Now they are all placed in the flower hall, and there are also
records in this account book."
"Huh!" Huang Shi snorted
unhappily, "The ones in this flower hall are naturally genuine. The
duplicates have long been put back into the warehouse by you! "
“Third Dimei!” Lin shi couldn't
help but raise her voice and her body trembling slightly," I normally
did not offend you, why do you want to slander me?! "
"Second Sister-in-law, you really don't shed tears if
you don't see the Yellow River." Huang Shi said coldly, feeling
that she has the chance to win.
idiom. never give up until one is consigned to the grave
"Enough!" Su Shi sternly
said, "It really makes my head hurt. Since both parties claim they are
true, then we can go to the warehouse together."
"Mother is right." Huang Shi
immediately agreed, and then looked at Lin Shi provocatively. Lin shi
looked back calmly; she had a clear conscience and was naturally not
afraid.
**◆**
The group of people came to the
warehouse in the inner yard in a mighty manner.
Qi Pozi didn't expect that
today most of the masters in the mansion came and hurriedly went forward to
salute: "Old Furen, Second Furen, Third Furen!"
"Don’t be polite, Lu." Su Shi
called out the name of Qi Pozi. "Take out the account books of
the warehouse, let me have a look."
"Yes, old Furen."
Although Qi Pozi didn't know what was going on, she took the account
books over immediately.
"Wang Mama, you go and
check it." Su Shi ordered, and Wang Mama respectfully took
the order and left. Donger wiped an armchair outside the warehouse with the
cloth and then carefully helped Su Shi to sit down. Everyone waited
quietly outside this warehouse, with different expressions.
It took a long time for Wang Mama
and Qi Pozi to align the things in the storeroom, and then walked
out one after the other. Wang Mama reported back: "Old Furen, the
items in the warehouse are genuine."
Su Shi's expression instantly
sank, and she looked at Huang Shi unclearly.
"Impossible!?" Huang Shi
blurted out intuitively.
Hearing this, Wang Mama suddenly
changed her face and said displeasedly: "Third Furen, do you think
that the old slave’s eyes are dim and made a mistake?" Wang Mama has
followed the old Furen for decades, and has always been the most used.
Her vision is naturally not bad.
Huang Shi didn't dare to
offend Wang Mama and lowered her attitude: "Wang Mama, I didn't
mean that." Speaking that, she snatched the account book from Qi pozi and
flipped it quickly... but she didn't find an item she was familiar with. How
come!? The switched duplicates recorded in this account book are all gone!
Huang Shi's face became
stiff, immediately thought of a certain possibility and blurted out: "Old Furen,
this is forged account book!" She looked at Lin shi mockingly:
"Second Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to even make forged account
books! You are so bold!" She felt that she had caught Lin Shi's mistakes
and talked more and more vigorously: “Mother, just check your account books and
you’ll know whether this account book is true or false.”
Su Shi did not speak, but only gave Wang Mama a
wink. Wang Mama immediately said: "Old Furen, old slave will
go and get the account book."
Although Wang mama was not young, she was in good
health and walked away quickly... After a while, she returned with an account
book with a worn and yellow cover.
"I'm right!" Huang Shi hurriedly
took the ledger and turned the pages over again... This turn made her face pale
in fright. How can it be!? She looked through it again in disbelief, but still
couldn't find the names of those duplicates.
Her both eyes stared to the extreme,
and looked at Wang Mama in disbelief, "Wang Mama,
unexpectedly even you were bribed!"
Wang Mama looked at Huang Shi with
an aggrieved expression: "Third Furen, old slave has always been
loyal to the old Furen. You can't accuse the old slave wrongly this
much!?"
"Wang Mama, I believe in you." Su Shi
patted Wang Mama and turned her gaze sharply toward Huang shi,
and said sharply: "Huang Shi, why are you slandering Lin shi?"
"Third Aunt" Nangong Yue
glared at Huang shi with an angry look "Why are you slandering my
mother? My niece always respects you, but I never thought you were this kind of
a person!" As she said, tears overflowed in her eyes, Lin Shi felt
a pain and hurriedly pulled her into her arms to comfort her.
