The little girl was crying and making a fuss, and no one knew what she was doing. The old women hesitated, but when they saw Mother Qi's carriage moving forward, they actually believed her words a little bit - if it was true, it made sense that Mother Qi would rush out to ask a doctor and let this little girl tell them to find someone.
The little girl observed their expressions and said, "Moms, don't delay any more. Go out to the shop and pass the message! This is a big deal. If you do it well, you may be rewarded. If you delay, won't you lose your job?! I'll go to the front door and tell him!"
She turned through the side door and hurriedly trotted to the main gate. She panted as she looked at the people from Dingbei Marquis' Mansion who had gathered around her because she said she would go to the main gate to see the Third Madam. She lowered her voice and said, "Our Third Master is not at home. The old lady is the boss of the family. I am the maid of the First Madam. The First Madam... The First Madam asked me to tell you something. She used the excuse that the Third Madam was sick and sent the powerful nanny sent by the Third Master away to find a doctor. She asked you to take advantage of the time when the shop outside was carrying the coffin in, and use the excuse that the Li family abused the Third Madam and that the Third Madam was dying and broke into the house."
No matter how powerful the woman's family is, it is not good to break into their home without a suitable excuse. Now Mrs. Li has found a reasonable excuse for the Wei family.
The people from the Wei family looked at her doubtfully, and no one spoke to her for a while.
It was Wei Rui who pushed everyone aside and asked her, "What happened to our aunt? Do you know?"
The little girl stepped back and dodged, whispering, "Her face was injured... The rest is not a big deal, but in order to deceive the maids, our wife gave her some cold tonic. She is not in a good mood now..."
Wei Rui looked at her carefully for a while, and seeing that her eyes were clear and her answers were meaningful and consistent, he believed her a little and asked her, "When will the coffin be brought in?"
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "It will be here in about an hour at most, but Madam Qi will be back in about half an hour..."
But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter whether Nanny Qi comes back or not, because the Wei family already has a reason to go in, and this time difference is enough.
Wei Rui hummed, and immediately turned around and gave instructions to a servant-like man. After the servant ran away quickly, he turned around and looked at the little girl, and asked her in a very friendly manner: "What will you tell Madam Qi when she comes back?"
The little girl was a little at a loss. After thinking for a while, she said, "Our eldest wife will always have a way... But you have to act quickly. Our eldest wife will be helpless against the old lady. This lie won't last long..."
She was still very worried about the first wife. The old lady had always disliked her for killing her son, and now the first wife was helping the third wife. When the old lady found out, she would probably suffer again.
Wei Rui nodded, and when he saw someone coming out from the gate, he said to the girl, "Okay, we got it. Thank you very much. You can go first."
The little girl bowed, turned around and ran away, still entering through the side door. She went to the courtyard of the third room first, met the eldest wife, and told her about the matter behind her back. At the end, she became worried: "What if the people from the Wei family can't come in or don't come in? What if... then what should we do?"
The eldest wife pursed her lips. Seeing that she was so worried that her hands were shaking, she consoled her, "Okay, it's already so bad. No matter how bad it gets, it's just like this. Compared to being attacked by the Wei family and dying with these idiots, no situation is too difficult. At least even if it doesn't work out, the Wei family knows that I helped them. They will let my children go for this little help. That's enough. They're all crazy, and I can't go crazy with them."
What's more, they are all women, and both are daughters-in-law of the Li family. She knows how sad it is to be a daughter-in-law of the Li family. It is inevitable that the rabbit's death will make the fox mourn. She is hopeless, but Wei Yuyou at least has a powerful family background. There is still a glimmer of hope. Any help she can provide is helpful.
It was quiet outside for a long time, and the only sound was the voices of maids coming in and out, asking how the Third Madam was doing. Soon the old lady got the news and sent a nanny over to scold her and ask what had happened.
The first wife repeated the same excuse as before, and the old lady couldn't help but complain that the third wife was too nosy, but she didn't object to going out to find a doctor. Although old lady Li was mean, she knew that if Wei Yuyou died, the Wei family would not let them go.
After a while, a doctor was finally invited by Madam Qi. After examining the Third Wife, he said that there was nothing wrong, she just took the wrong medicine, so the two medicines conflicted with each other, causing temporary dizziness, nausea and vomiting. After inducing vomiting, she could take the medicine again.
Aunt Qi and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Mrs. Li disliked Mrs. Li for being impatient: "Isn't everything fine? Why are you so impatient..."
Mrs. Li hung her head in panic, feeling guilty. She moved her lips and stammered, "Grandma... my daughter-in-law was impatient and had never experienced anything like this. When she saw that my third brother's wife looked in a dangerous situation, she thought she was dying and sent someone out to the shop to find funeral supplies..."
Old Madam Li's eyelids twitched suddenly, and she looked at Madam Li in disbelief. She raised her hand and slapped Madam Li, causing her to stagger. Then she pointed at her and cursed: "Foolish woman! Foolish woman! Have you lost your mind?! Why are you preparing funeral supplies for no reason?! Are you going to tell the Wei family that we almost killed her?! Don't you think we don't have enough to do?!"
Aunt Qi was also stunned in place, looking at Madam Li with a dark light in her eyes and frowning suspiciously at her.
How could it be such a coincidence
Mrs. Li was so helpless before... But is she really the kind of person who panics and makes mistakes easily? She was the one who managed all the family affairs in the past. When the master was still alive, the first wife had the final say in the family. She even helped to arrange the third wife's marriage...
How could such a person be so impatient that he even went so far as to look for funeral supplies
Before she could figure it out, Old Madam Li was already pointing at Madam Li, shaking with anger: "Quick, go find someone and tell them not to go outside!"
As she was talking, there was a deafening cry outside. Old Mrs. Li looked out with a layer of frost on her face. Before she could say anything, a daughter-in-law with her hair all messed up came running in. She kowtowed as soon as she came in and said, "Old lady, it's bad. People from the Wei family broke in and said that we forced their aunt to death!" (To be continued)
