"Murderer, aren't you?"
Pang Xiao gave a low voice and stuck Yao Shi's unspoken words in his throat.
"You, what do you mean?"
"Murderers, whether for wealth, profit, hatred, or love, always have a reason. What is your reason? You gave your five-month-old daughter-in-law a red flower to murder your unborn child. The born grandson even wants to take your own daughter-in-law with you, what are you doing?"
Yao shi's eyes widened, with a tongue-tied look.
Pang Xiao's voice was so low that only Yao Shi and the two maids next to her could hear it.
But this sound was like a drum beat in Yao Shi's ears.
Pang Xiao looked at Yao Shi's jaw-dropping appearance, and bitterness gradually filled his heart, "What are you trying to do, eh? If my son and your grandson are gone, what will you do?"
"You, you are talking nonsense!" Yao shi came back to his senses, straightened his back and retorted loudly: "Who told you that? Ah? Am I that crazy person? How could I harm me? My grandson!"
His face turned from ruddy to pale, and Yao shi's tears fell, "What a beast who has a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother. Dafu, it took me a lot of hard work to conceive in October to give birth to you. Pull the big, now that you have a daughter-in-law, is this how you wronged your mother
"That daughter-in-law of yours looks like a lump, don't tell me you'll be wronged if anyone visits her? I kindly gave her chicken soup to make up her body, but she beat her up! Saying I gave her red flowers? I bah! That kind of thing! Is the scumbag worthy of eating safflower! You can believe whatever she says, don't you have no brains? Dafu, I'll ask you, do you think I'm your mother!"
Yao Shi said that he was almost roaring at the end, and only felt that the son he raised had become someone else's, and his hope in this life was gone. He couldn't help but feel sad, covering his mouth and choking.
Yao Chenggu frowned tightly, Yao Shi's expression was too much.
Pang Xiao listened to Yao Shi's words, his sad expression gradually calmed down, and sighed softly, "Mother, if you didn't feel guilty and upset, you wouldn't have made such a big loophole. I saved your face for you, but you want to make a fuss. If you don't care about others hearing about you, I have no problem."
He lowered his voice just because he didn't want to make things escalate. Who would have known that Yao shi would make a big noise when he was guilty.
Yao shi seemed to be strangled by someone's neck, her crying stopped, and her face changed from pale to purple eggplant skin.
Yao Chenggu was angry and said with a sigh: "Okay, okay, no shame in the family, this is the end of the matter. Dafu, you follow me into the room." Turning around, he walked into the room first.
Yao Shi gritted his teeth and looked at Pang Xiao. He couldn't beat him or scold him. It seemed that what he did was wrong. He couldn't think of any other way for a while, so he followed Yao Chenggu into the house.
Pang Xiao was not as obedient as before.
"If grandpa is tired, he can go into the room and rest. I'll take care of the fine work that was mixed into the mansion first, and then it's not too late to take a rest."
Turning around, he looked sharply at the people kneeling on the ground, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on the stove looked horrified, their hair standing on end.
"Tell me. Who made the chicken soup today?"
Yao Chenggu stood inside the door and stomped his feet in anger when he heard Pang Xiao start questioning the servants outside.
Pang Xiao is clearly unwilling to let go of the person who made trouble today, and will be punished in his face. He is Pang Xiao's grandfather after all. If Pang Xiao did this, wouldn't he not take him seriously
What's more, today's matter is not simple, it has spread among the servants, and it will be more difficult for them to be human in the future.
Yao Chenggu's heart was a mess, as if he had been splashed by boiling water, his face was hot.
Up to now, Yao Chenggu knew that it was difficult for Pang Xiao to end this matter.
Standing beside Yao Chenggu, Yao shi looked at the scene in the courtyard outside the window, feeling embarrassed and worried.
Just now, he cursed angrily, and his heart was indeed relieved a lot. But the next thing in front of Yao shi was the question of whether Pang Xiao, the son, still wanted this question.
If Pang Xiao had such a tough attitude now, wouldn't she have to compensate Qin Yining as a mother? If not, what hope does she have left in her life
After being angry and embarrassed, Yao shi really felt the crisis, covering her mouth and crying almost heartbroken.
The yard was quiet, and all the people were kneeling with their heads bowed in a proper manner. No one dared to say a word, but they could only get the sound of cicadas.
Pang Xiao walked up to the people in the middle and asked again: "Who made the chicken soup? Who added the safflower in it? Why did you do this? Who ordered it? Now stand up and talk to this king. Clearly, this king may spare your life. If you are obsessed and wait for this king's people to find out who did it in person, then this king cannot guarantee your safety."
Pang Xiao's remarks made everyone horrified. Looking up and peeking at Hu Zi and the two elite tiger guards in front of the courtyard, everyone trembled uncomfortably.
This is how to do
Can you tell the truth
If they say it, I am afraid that Songhetang will not have a place for them in the future.
But if they didn't say it, the prince could kill them in the blink of an eye.
Under the measure, life is still important.
The old women on the stove looked at each other in dismay, and were relatively speechless for a while, with shaking written in everyone's eyes.
Pang Xiao said again: "Do you want to talk?" His voice was already full of irritability, and his patience was obviously exhausted.
Yao Chenggu in the curtain finally couldn't take it anymore, and called out, "Dafu, come here."
If Pang Xiao was interrogated, and he was pulled out and shameless, it would be better for him to explain to Pang Xiao and let him understand his painstaking efforts. It also prevents the relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren from becoming stale for no apparent reason.
Hearing Yao Chenggu's greeting, Pang Xiao gradually pursed his thin lips and clenched his fists.
Based on what I have seen and heard since I came to Songhetang today, and then analyze Yao's bluff under his guilty conscience and Yao Chenggu's expression, he found that what else did Pang Xiao not understand
It turned out that it was his mother and grandfather who wanted to harm Sister Yi
If he wants to guard against others outside, should he still be separated from his relatives at home? If he is not careful, will he lose his wife and children
Pang Xiao's grievances and anger were intertwined in his heart, and he instructed Hu Zi in a deep voice: "Interrogate them one by one, and wait for this king to find out."
"Yes!" Hu Zi and Jing Hu Wei responded immediately, and eagerly called those maids to the gate of the courtyard to interrogate them one by one.
Pang Xiao entered the main room.
Yao Chenggu retracted his gaze from the window, and said with a trembling beard, "You haven't told your people to stop!"
"In order to catch up on meticulous work, interrogation is essential. I know that my grandfather is a benevolent person, and I can't see the people around me being wronged, but for the safety of our whole family, we can't do anything less."
Pang Xiao smiled at Yao Chenggu and said gently, "What does Grandpa want to say to me?"
Yao Chenggu's face was already flushed at this time, and he looked at Pang Xiao hesitating for a while before saying, "Don't ask them to judge. The family shame is nothing but exaggeration. To tell you the truth, I instructed your mother to do what happened today."
The suspicion in Pang Xiao's mind was confirmed by Yao Chenggu, but he no longer felt sad and shocked.
"I don't know, why did Grandpa do this?"
Yao Chenggu didn't feel relieved when he saw that Pang Xiao was not violent, but became even more nervous.
"Dafu, your mother and I are all for your own good. Your daughter-in-law is a good woman, no one can deny that, but she was kidnapped by the Tartars after all, who knows what she has experienced outside, who can Are you sure it must be your seed in her belly
"I don't want to see such a woman defile you by your side. I don't even want such a person to defile your bloodline."
Pang Xiao laughed angrily. The laughter grew louder and louder, revealing a bit of arrogance and ridicule.
When Yao Chenggu and Pang Shi saw Pang Xiao like this, their worries did not diminish, but they became even more uneasy.
After a while, Pang Xiaocai said: "Grandpa. You and your mother are both my elders, so I won't judge in terms of personality. But I can tell you. I can be sure of my own daughter-in-law's chastity. What's more, she is I will be kidnapped because of my burden. Even if she is really bad, I will not despise her. On the contrary, those who despise her because of this make me despise!
"As for the child, I have already made it clear. How long has it been since I met her again, and our child is a few months old. With such a simple arithmetic, can it be that neither my grandfather nor my mother can figure out if her child is mine
"Okay, you don't have to believe me. You don't have to believe Sister Yi. I can't convince you to change your mind. But can this be the reason why you gave my daughter-in-law a red flower
"Grandpa, mother, if it wasn't for the two of you to do this today, I would definitely stab the person who wanted to harm Sister Yi and my child! But it was you!"
Pang Xiao turned around and stopped looking at Yao Chenggu and Yao Shi.
"Since you look down on my wife, you look down on me. If you want to kill my children, I can't take revenge on you or do anything to you, but in the future, I will live my life by myself, and please don't meddle in it. You just have to live your own life."
Pang Xiao did not give Yao Chenggu and Yao Shi any chance to preach, he turned around and left the main room.
When he arrived at the courtyard, Pang Xiao pointed at the old ladies on the stove and the maidservants serving in Songhe Hall.
"These are all suspected of meticulous work. Nai He Fa does not blame the public, and this king is not a person who kills life and exterminates humanity. You people also have toiled to serve the old lady and the lady, so each of you rewarded two taels of silver and settled your monthly money. , then leave the palace."
"My lord!"
The people exclaimed and looked at Pang Xiao in disbelief. Unexpectedly, Pang Xiao actually expelled all the servants of the entire Songhe Hall!
When Yao shi heard this, he became anxious, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and came out: "Da Fu! You can't do this, no one will tell me, how long have the two girls, Xun He and Mi He, been with me, and Zhao Kun's family, they..."
"They don't know how to dissuade the old lady from doing stupid things. This king didn't punish them, but just gave them money to dismiss them.
Pang Xiao's eyes were full of alienation.
When Yao Shi heard Pang Xiao's address to her, she took two steps back and leaned against the corridor: "You, what do you call me?"
