"Although the little girl has bribed some servants in the second house of Sheng Mansion, it is still the territory that Bai has been running for more than ten years." Wu said calmly, "Bai is jealous by nature and is afraid that people around her will step into the willow and support her. Following in the footsteps of the two aunts Yan, the control is very strict. As time goes by, even though those people are careful, they will inevitably be noticed by the Bai family!"
Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this: Although Bai was only a stepmother, she had been the second wife of the Sheng family longer than Sheng Lansi's first wife Ao, and she had given birth to a son and a daughter for Sheng Lansi. Until her death, despite rumors inside and outside that her position was unstable, she was still the absolute mistress of the second room.
In contrast, Mrs. Wu, a talented daughter of twenty-eight years old, has never even entered the gate of Sheng Mansion. It is already good to have a few informants in the second room. If Mrs. Bai is actually not interested in her actions, If you don’t know anything, that’s what makes people suspicious!
So Wu continued, "Then two days ago, the little girl received a letter from Bai, asking the little girl to dress up as a maid alone that day and enter the Sheng Mansion through the corner gate to see her!"
She sneered and said, "You know, if the little girl really did this, I'm afraid that the little girl would be the one who drowned in the small pond that day, right?!"
The county guard frowned and said: "Since you know that this trip is inappropriate, you just don't go, why do you want to murder Bai's life?!"
"Of course the little girl doesn't want to go!" Wu said loudly, "But if Bai didn't have the confidence to force the little girl to go to the appointment, how could she have written that letter?!"
This woman's acting skills are quite good. She was gnashing her teeth at the moment, and her interpretation of the feeling of being forced was so profound. She said sadly, "Ms. Bai...she actually gave away the little girl's only brother and the only male heir of my Wu family." Kidnapped!!!"
"Although the little girl is not a chaste and martyrdom woman, she is not a person who does not care about brotherhood!"
"What's more, if the little girl's brother makes a mistake, her father's bloodline will be cut off from now on. This will make the little girl go to the ground. How can she face her father and mother, and how can she face the ancestors of the Wu family? An explanation from the emperor?!"
"This Bai family has gone too far!" Most of the people watching in the hall have nothing to do with the Sheng family or the Bai family. The reason why they are here is to be honest, they probably want to watch the fun.
Of course, the position is also very unscrupulous - when they suspected that the Wu family was taking the blame for Sheng Lansi, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and said that the Sheng family was pretending to kill relatives under the guise of righteousness and doing things to make people die.
Seeing Mrs. Wu's elegant demeanor and sad expression, they immediately said, "I have long heard that the second lady of the Sheng family is not serious and virtuous. If the old lady of the Sheng family hadn't been sensible, the first lady would have Mr. Shanda, whom the Second Madam left behind, may not grow up at all!"
"Isn't that true? Even if she fell out of favor by hating the Wu family, that's all she needs to do to deal with the Wu family. What's the point of venting her anger on the only male heir of the Wu family? Look at the Wu family's appearance. Her brother is probably still young at his age. You must be childish and innocent!"
"Actually, according to me, what right does the Bai family have to hate this Wu family? Didn't she force the second lady in front of the Sheng family away so that she could occupy this position for many years? Now it's just retaliation. Is it difficult to allow her to seduce other people’s husbands, but not allow others to seduce her husband?!”
"Otherwise, we ladies are all different? Not to mention that the second lady kidnapped the Bai family and blackmailed the Bai family, from the beginning to the end, she didn't even curse the Bai family and the second master Sheng!"
The more these people talked about, the more dissatisfied they were with Mrs. Bai, and finally they all began to sympathize with Mrs. Wu, "Although this woman does not have a good character, she really loves her brother!"
...The reason why such a thing happened is not entirely because of Wu's good performance. Another important reason is that Bai is a typical person who flies up a branch and becomes a phoenix. This kind of achievement is easy to attract envy, jealousy and hatred. However, she still occupies the position on the magpie's nest, which makes it even harder to convince the public.
Now that something has happened, everyone's original envy, jealousy, and hatred will inevitably turn into gloating, and then add insult to injury.
After all, Nanfeng County has not had any murder cases before, and there has also been a wife-murder case similar to this one in Sheng Mansion.
But in the past, when cases were being tried, there were not so many irrelevant people watching now!
Isn't the reason why there are so many spectators this time because the one who got into trouble was the Sheng family, one of the three most powerful families in the county
It is a common hobby of ordinary people to like to see wealthy people become disgraced. Similar to this hobby is to watch people who soar into the sky fall.
In their eyes, Bai is this kind of person.
So their current criticism of the Bai family can be understood as "Hahaha, that bitch who got to the position by virtue of her looks is finally unlucky. I knew she would not have a good outcome, so she had a better life than I did before."
However, the governor ignored the change of attitude of the subordinates and asked himself: "You said that your brother was kidnapped by the Bai family, do you have any evidence?"
Wu said: "My little brother disappeared three days before Bai's death. At that time, the little girl even asked the neighbors. Every household in the neighborhood where the little girl lives knows about this!"
The county guard immediately summoned Wu's neighbors to the court - these people indeed proved Wu's words: "When Wu Xiucai was alive, his daughter was very quiet and polite. It can be said that she never left the door or stepped out. After Wu Xiucai left, this woman It was okay at first, but then I met Mr. Sheng Er, and his reputation gradually became bad. The common people gradually stopped allowing their daughters and daughters-in-law to visit their homes. But they were all from the countryside. That day, this woman came to the door and said that her brother was missing. The common people followed her. All the neighbors specially gathered people to help search the nearby streets. But there was still no trace of the child. Later, we finally got some information, but someone covered the child and put him in a carriage and left!"
"We just met a human trafficker and were about to report it to the police. Unexpectedly, someone came over and delivered a letter to the Wu family's daughter. The Wu family's daughter opened it and looked at it and her expression changed!"
"Then tell us that her brother was picked up by relatives and she misunderstood."
"At that time, someone was confused and asked to see the letter in her hand, but she refused. She only knelt down and kowtowed to us, saying that she thanked us for our kindness. We usually have little contact with her. Seeing this situation They left and didn’t ask to read the letter again.”
In this way, the matter is very clear: the Bai family kidnapped the Wu family's younger brother, and then wrote a letter to threaten the Wu family!
Although when the county guard asked about the letter next, Wu said: "The letter has been destroyed by the little girl! Because the little girl knew at that time that the Bai family would not let the little girl go! And kill her After marrying the little girl, it is even more impossible to let the little girl's brother go! Since our siblings are destined to die anyway, why doesn't the little girl strike first and kill the Bai family? In this way, even if it is too late to save the little brother, she can still save our brothers and sisters. What about revenge? And the little girl thought she could escape the law at that time, so naturally she can't keep such a thing!"
But everyone still felt that the younger brother of the Wu family must have been kidnapped by the Bai family, and he had even been killed by now.
So I followed Wu as she recounted how she murdered Bai: "The little girl knew that Bai must have prepared a dragnet for the little girl in the second room. Therefore, when the little girl arrived that day, instead of following Bai's instructions, the little girl sent Mr. Sheng out of the city. Instead, I managed to get Mr. Sheng Er to go back to the second room!"
"The little girl thought, in this case, Bai must think that not only did the little girl not intend to go to the appointment, but she might even tell the second master Sheng about the matter - the little girl had heard from the second servant that when Bai was uneasy, she was happy Burn incense. And her incense burner has been tampered with by servants who have conspired with the little girl. Once the spices are lit in it, a drug that will make people faint for a moment will be emitted. "
"Then, the servant who had made an appointment with the little girl took the opportunity to go and drag her from the room to the small pond in the yard!"
"As for the strip of cloth in Bai's hand, it was because she had a guilty conscience and had a dispute with him when she went to test the second master Sheng, and accidentally tore it from the second master Sheng's robe."
"After that, Mr. Sheng left the Sheng Mansion in anger. He was seen by the servants who didn't know what was going on. They thought Mr. Sheng was suspicious."
Mrs. Wu said this in one breath and said contemptuously, "So this matter was done by the little girl and the servant of the second room of the Sheng family. But after all, if Mrs. Bai is not ruthless and can't tolerate others, we will wait for Anhui to do this." What a bad idea?!"
"Now that the matter has been revealed, the little girl cannot deny it, but the little girl still has to say: Bai Shi, she deserves to die!!!"
It's natural that she said this with a strong voice!
There were some good people outside the door who didn't know what their intentions were, but they actually clapped and shouted "Hello!"
This situation made even the county guard lose his mind for a moment, and then he was shocked and shouted: "Even if Bai has done something wrong, the majesty of the country's law cannot be trampled upon?! Furthermore, after all this matter, it is all because of your improper conduct. , caused by interacting with a married woman! If not, even though Bai is not virtuous, why would she target you siblings?!"
Wu was silent for a moment and smiled to herself: "What you said is absolutely true. Little girls are always greedy for vanity and bring trouble to the family!"
In this situation, the county guard could not continue to reprimand, so he only announced the disposition in public: Wu will definitely die, Sheng Lansi who is still in prison can be released on the spot, and the servants involved will also have their own place to go - everyone is very concerned about this To be honest, they were not very satisfied with the result. After all, they came here mainly for the gimmick of Sheng Lansi killing his wife, but in the end, Sheng Lansi was acquitted. They felt a little disappointed in their hearts.
The Bai family's biological children were also very dissatisfied with this result: "Although Sheng Lianlian was ordered by the Wu family, she was the murderer who directly caused my mother's death! Why didn't the Wu family mention her in court?!"
Of course, the elders responded to such a mindless question in an understatement: "Mr. Wu colluded with the servants of the second house to murder your own mother. It can be said that it was a dispute in the backyard, but it was the vicious and unscrupulous servants in the outer house! Ruo Sheng will do it pitifully. The story spread, that is, female matricide - our family is considered a respectable family in Nanfeng County, but such an unethical thing happened. Even if you don't care about your future, please do it for your brothers and sisters, for Sheng Think about it later!"
Of course, the Sheng family concealed Sheng Lianlian's involvement in the murder of their aunt's mother in court, but that didn't mean they would just spare Sheng Lianlian.
After all, even if you don't care about the feelings of the Sheng Weirao siblings, considering that this girl has such a ruthless character at a young age, who wouldn't worry about her not being safe in the Sheng family's backyard
In addition, it was revealed that she had fallen out on the spot after seeking help from Sheng Weiqiao to no avail. Sheng Lanci, who was ashen-faced, decided on the spot: "For the sin of matricide, even for the sake of the family's reputation, we cannot let her go to the government office. We ourselves How can you not clean up the door?!"
- Sheng Weirao has not shown any ill will toward Sheng Weiqiao until now. He has even hired Gongsun Yingjiang to guard him! What's more, Sheng Lianlian, the niece who openly hit Sheng Weiqiao with stones? !
After the Xuan Yu'e incident, Sheng Lanci is now absolutely concerned about her daughter's safety and will not let go if she is wrong!
He worked hard to make money to support this big family, not just to raise a trouble for his daughter!
Originally, Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming were a little bit intolerant considering Sheng Lianlian's age, but seeing Sheng Lanci's resolute attitude and the Sheng Weirao siblings crying beside them, they couldn't say anything - the matter was settled.
The next day, news came out from the backyard of Sheng Mansion that the eighth daughter of the Sheng family had died.
The reason for the premature death was that Sheng Lianlian witnessed the death of her aunt and could not bear the pain, so she was not seriously ill.
"Although my daughter-in-law has a bad temper, she has a good heart. Otherwise, Xiaoba has only been here a few days, how could she be so sad for her aunt?" Mrs. Ming said to the people who came to express their condolences, "Those Colluding with the Wu family to murder her servants, you are really greedy!"
Naturally, she said this not for the sake of Bai's posthumous reputation, but for the reputation of the entire Sheng family - as the second wife of the Sheng family, she was one of the serious owners of the Sheng family during her lifetime. How could Bai be a harsh servant and treat an innocent child like a child? Where is the person who blackmailed the Wu family
This would not be good for the Sheng family's reputation in the county, nor would it be good for the future career of Sheng Suihe and his other children.
So even though Mrs. Ming didn't have any good impression of Mr. Bai, she had to follow Sheng Lanci's instructions and seize every opportunity to clear Mr. Bai's name.
Of course, as a fellow villager, who doesn’t know who Mr. Bai is
However, the deceased was the most important, and the Bai family had no contact with them before. Everyone tacitly agreed: "The second lady of your family is really wronged! Fortunately, the county governor understood everything and gave the second lady justice!"
Seeing that this turmoil that shocked the whole county was finally coming to an end and was just waiting for the afterglow to dissipate, everyone in the Sheng family and the Yamen breathed a sigh of relief!
At this time, Sheng Weiqiao, who had lived in the ancestral hall for less than half a month, finally received a visit from his biological father!
