Qiu Yilan hurried back to the Duke of Qin's mansion, and as expected, she heard the bad news as soon as she got out of the car: "Someone among Bage's children died in infancy?!"
No wonder Jiang Yadan was in such a hurry on the road!
"How could this happen? When I went to my eighth sister-in-law's place two days ago, weren't they all still very lively?" As she walked towards the backyard, she hurriedly asked Xia Ran who was waiting at the bus stop - at that time, two naughty children were... He was so lively that he snatched the jade bracelet from his aunt's mother's wrist! I don’t know if they were the ones responsible for the accident this time
"She fell into the water." Xia Ran lowered his head and followed her, speaking in a low voice quickly, "The Sixteenth Young Madam found out she was pregnant yesterday, and the old lady told the Eighth Young Madam to take more care of her. So the Eighth Young Madam got up early today. They arrived at the room of the Sixteenth Young Master... As a result, the servants in the Eighth Young Madam's yard just now went to report that Miss Eleventh Sun and Young Master Ninth Sun had a fight while playing on the rockery, and accidentally fell into the lake together. !”
Qiu Yilan stopped and asked in surprise: "Two of them fell into the lake? Both of them?"
"Master Ninth Grandson is gone, and Miss Eleventh Grandson has been rescued." Xia Ran hesitated, "It's just..."
"Just what?" Qiu Yilan calmed down her mind, continued to move, and asked.
Xia Ran looked around before saying: "I heard that when my servants rescued people, the Ninth Grandson was very close and he was a male heir, so he wanted to save the Ninth Grandson first. But Miss Eleventh Sun's biological mother, Luan, came first. When we got to the pool, we were forced to save Miss Eleventh Sun first... Master Ninth Grandson's biological mother, Mrs. Feng, arrived a step later, and after urging people to pull Master Ninth Grandson up, she was already... "
"What about the Luan family and the Feng family now?" Qiu Yilan frowned, thinking that the little Tao family might be in trouble - not to mention the death of a concubine, and if concubine Ji still caused such a thing, it would be hard for the little Tao family not to She was asked how she took care of the backyard
This is the sorrow of women at this time - the children of concubines and concubines must be controlled by the head wife. Of course, if they make mistakes, the head wife will also bear the corresponding responsibility for ineffective supervision and discipline.
For a head wife who does have the right to control the backyard, to be honest, it is not too unfair to be implicated; but for a head wife like Xiao Tao who has no control at all for various reasons and cannot escape being held responsible if something goes wrong, then It’s really impossible to live with it!
Now Xia Ran smiled bitterly: "As soon as the old lady found out, she ordered people to drag Mrs. Luan out, fill her with medicine, and send her to a mass grave. But Mrs. Feng, God knows if she was so heartbroken and crazy! She was originally lying on the bed crying. The young lady and the others were comforting her, but when the Eighth Young Master came back, she didn't know where she got the strength. She actually jumped up and hugged the Eighth Young Master and complained, saying that she and Luan were both concubines. How could the servants let the male heir go? Why don't you save the girl first? It must be that the Eighth Young Master had a grudge against Master Jiu Sun who snatched the bracelet from your wrist two days ago when you were visiting, and privately warned the servant, who then deliberately listened to Luan's words... The old lady is going crazy now!”
Qiu Yilan's face was extremely ugly and she sneered: "I'm going crazy too - with such a biological mother, no wonder the ninth grandson is so unruly!" Before, she thought it was pitiful for such a young child to be tricked to death by his concubine. Now I don’t feel it at all. With Feng’s actions, this kid grew up safely. God knows whether mother and son will force little Tao to death!
After calming down, he asked, "Do you believe it?"
Xia Ran sighed: "Although the Eighth Young Master didn't believe Feng's words, he also complained that the Eighth Young Master couldn't even look down on children... Now it's better. When the Sixteenth Young Master found out, she quickly sent someone to call the Sixteenth Young Master. We plan to go together to apologize to the Eighth Young Master!"
"Although he is cold, he still has some brains!" If Jiang Yadan really believed in Feng, Qiu Yilan felt that this uncle could really die.
However, she originally thought that since Jiang Yadan didn't believe Feng, then Little Tao would just have to bear the responsibility for poor management. But when she rushed to Mrs. Tao, who was handling the matter, she realized that Little Tao's situation was far away. It's more serious than she thought!
"Old Madam Mingjian, it is really the Eighth Young Madam who is forcing the slaves! Otherwise, with the courage of the slaves, how dare you murder Mr. Sun and Miss Sun?!" There were seven or eight well-dressed servants kneeling in the hall, crying. The heavens and the earth screamed that they were wronged, "The Eighth Young Madam holds the slaves' bonds of sale in her hands... How dare the slaves disobey the Young Madam?"
Looking at little Mrs. Tao again, her face was pale and her lips were trembling. If she hadn't been supported by someone, she would have fallen down!
But she couldn't fall yet - Jiang Yadan, who was sitting under the old lady, was looking at her expressionlessly! Obviously, he will never give up until the matter comes to light today!
After listening for a while, Qiu Yilan quietly pulled Sheng Si Shui's sleeve. Sheng Si Shui understood, frowned, and pressed her lower abdomen with her hand. Qiu Yilan took the opportunity to say to Mrs. Tao: "Grandma, Sixteenth Sister-in-law seems a little tired. , grandson’s daughter-in-law, help her go down to have a rest?”
Mrs. Tao, who had a livid look on her face, was eager to excuse little Mr. Tao. She didn't even raise her head when she heard the words: "Go, I told you that Shi Shui got pregnant and didn't want to be here anymore!"
"Thank you, grandma!" The two sisters got out and went back to the courtyard filled with passing water.
"Isn't Mrs. Feng just talking nonsense? Why are you seriously discussing the crime of the eighth sister-in-law murdering the heir?" After sending the idlers away, Qiu Yilan asked urgently, "Those servants?"
Sheng Shishui's expression was also very solemn: "Eighth sister-in-law has been plotted. After Feng said that, Bage didn't believe it. There was also Mother Hu in front of the grandmother who said that Feng was confused... As a result, grandmother didn't have time. Dealing with Ms. Feng! Ms. Feng said she had evidence! Then, the servant who rescued the people actually confessed that Sister-in-law Eight had indeed said something against Jingheng and Jinghu! "
Jiang Jingheng and Jiang Jinghu were the concubines who had snatched the bracelet from little Tao's wrist together before. It was Jiang Jinghu who died this time.
"When Luan's family members found out about it, they also ran out and shouted that Luan was probably forced by the eighth sister-in-law to ask to save Miss Eleven Sun first - so many people said so, so it's okay! The most terrible thing is that Aunt Green also so!"
Qiu Yilan hurriedly asked: "Who is Aunt Green? Why is it important for her to say this?"
"Aunt Lu was originally the maid of the eighth sister-in-law, named Lu Zhan." Sheng Shishui sighed, "She is the daughter in charge of the eighth sister-in-law's dowry business. Do you think this is life-threatening?"
"..." Qiu Yilan was silent for a while, then asked calmly, "I just walked in, and all the relatives haven't recognized each other yet... Do you know that the Tao family still has unmarried daughters? Especially the pretty ones."
Sheng Shishui took a deep look at her: "You know Tao Peibin, she is already married. But she has a sister who is pretty and lovely - she is only fourteen this year, and she has not married her yet. During the Chinese New Year before , was taken around several times by the Tao family. At that time, the eighth sister-in-law was acting coquettishly and said she wanted to live in the Jiang family for a few days. Before the eighth sister-in-law could say anything, she was stopped by her grandmother... "
After a pause, she frowned, "Judging from the fact that a person like Lu Zhan would come forward and say that the Eighth Sister-in-law was plotting to murder his children, the Tao family is indeed the most suspicious: after all, how many concubines would think of such a generous wife like the Eighth Sister-in-law? Unexpectedly. It is impossible for her to correct the situation and cheat the eighth sister-in-law, which will do no harm! She is a concubine in the eighth brother's room and does not interact with outsiders. Her parents are the eighth sister-in-law's stewards and are protected by the Tao family. Who can threaten him? But if the eighth sister-in-law is found guilty of murdering the concubine's children, won't the Tao family lose her face in order to find a real wife for the eighth brother
"Have you forgotten grandma?" Qiu Yilan sneered, "With grandma here, how could such words spread?! Even if it spreads, once such a crime is settled, do you think the eighth sister-in-law can still live? No one will be alive by then. In order to overturn the case and restore the reputation of the eighth sister-in-law, the Jiang family would also agree to let Tao Peibin renew the marriage of the eighth brother in order to comfort them - otherwise, Tao Peibin would just look like that. There are many beauties in the eighth brother's house. As for the one who has taken a fancy to Isn’t Tao Yibin as good-looking as her?”
Sheng Shishui's expression changed: "What about the eighth sister-in-law now?"
"Fortunately, grandma really cares about Eighth Sister-in-law, and she has been trying to think of ways to excuse Eighth Sister-in-law." Qiu Yilan thought for a while and said, "But you said that Tao Yibin wanted to stay before, but grandma stopped her. I'm afraid the Tao family had discussed the substitution with my grandmother at that time, but my grandmother didn't agree and didn't even allow Tao Yibin to stay... So if it was really the Tao family who took action this time, I'm afraid my grandmother's objections wouldn't have been missed. … If this matter really turns out to be a solid case…”
"Now there are so many people killed in one bite. Before you came back, my grandmother had Luan's confidant maid beaten to death in public, and no one changed their story..." Sheng Sishui's expression was heavy, "Thinking about it this way, I think you are guessing. That's right, but for Sister-in-law Eight, I'm afraid..."
If others want to plot against little Tao, she still has the support of her mother-in-law, but if it is her mother-in-law who wants her to give up the throne behind the scenes - even if little Tao can be successfully cleared of the crime of murdering the concubine's children, will she be able to survive this stab in her heart? It used to be a problem!
"If it is really the Tao family who did it, then there is only one way to save the eighth sister-in-law." Qiu Yilan pondered for a moment, "Let the Tao family know that even if the eighth sister-in-law is gone, the continuation of the eighth brother's life has nothing to do with their family!"
Sheng Shishui hesitated for a while and then said: "To be honest, if this is really done by the Tao family, no matter how much my grandmother loves the eighth sister-in-law, she may have to admit it in the end."
After all, Mrs. Tao's surname is Tao. She will try her best to exonerate Mr. Tao - but the price will definitely not be to expose the Tao family!
And once little Mrs. Tao is forced to die, Mrs. Tao will not only no longer object to Tao Yibin's entry, but will even help Tao Yibin secure her position as the eighth young lady. After all, the old lady is also the daughter of the Tao family!
"I know, I won't embarrass my grandmother about this matter." Qiu Yilan stood up, "I know there is someone who happens to do this kind of thing!"
Sheng Shishui asked in surprise: "Who?"
"Sister-in-law Fourteen!" Qiu Yilan narrowed her eyes, "I remember she seems to be doing this kind of business as well!"
Didn't the Yang family ask her to give their daughter Yang Yinian to Ding Lingyi as a continuation partner
If Yang Yoshi hadn't been deceived by Ding Lingyi's nephew Ding Qingyan later, this marriage would have been a success.
He Shuijin can arrange marriage for the Yang family and the Ding family, so there should be no pressure to find a good candidate for Jiang Yadan, right
Sure enough, she rushed to the third room to talk to He Shuijin about her purpose, and she put out a few gold tickets in her sleeves. He Shuijin, who had previously held a tea bowl and expressed that he wanted to think about it, immediately confessed: "Your suspicions are really close. Ten! There is no one else here. Let me tell you the truth: Why is the eighth sister-in-law so good-tempered? She was forced to do so! The ones who forced her the most were not our Jiang family, but her natal family. people!"
"I heard someone say that her mother-in-law once said that she was useless. She could not win the heart of myna, and she could not give birth to a legitimate son! And she couldn't even get a bastard to raise under her knees! That number was missed. She went to her grandmother worriedly to complain, but was scolded by her grandmother before she stopped. But how do you think the eighth sister-in-law felt when she heard her mother say such a thing? "
Qiu Yilan sneered: "Sure enough! I was just doubtful at first, but luckily I came over to ask my sister-in-law for advice." Pointing to the few golden tickets, "I don't know your rules, sister-in-law, so don't be surprised if I miss them. These are just deposits. I will give you a big gift later... In short, as long as you are aiming for the position of Ba Ge's wife, if you know that Ba Ge will marry an unrelated woman, why would you jump out? "
"Nineteen brothers and sisters are too polite. Sister-in-law, I won't go around with you. Let's talk about business. When the matter is done, you can just give me half of this amount." He Shuijin smiled slightly, "I promise to find the person Not only is he expected to be Bage’s successor, but he has nothing to do with what’s going on right now!”
Are you kidding me? There is a Mrs. Zhuang from far away in northern Xinjiang in the fourth room, and now there is Qiu Yilan who dares to hit her cousin-in-law within a month of entering the house. If the good-tempered and easy-to-bully little Tao is replaced by a powerful one, this will be called another How else are you doing in the room
Today, let alone having money to take it, even if she doesn’t have money to take it, she has to find a way to get involved!
