Having said this, Xie Ruzhuo pinched her chin again and said, "Do you really think that I know nothing about the person behind you? Dongmei, you have reached this point. You are an abandoned child. If you want to survive, you have no other choice but to confess honestly!"
Dongmei looked at Xie Ruzhuo with a horrified look on her face, and said in a trembling voice, "Since the Fourth Miss knows everything, why do you need to ask me?"
"Of course I have to ask. What I know cannot make you take credit for your crime. If you want to survive and keep the child in your belly, it depends on your performance." Xie Ruzhuo let go of his hand. He took out the handkerchief and wiped his white knuckles slowly.
Mrs. Qiao on the side was already stunned on the spot. According to what Xie Ruzhuo said, she actually knew that Dongmei had a problem a long time ago. It was as if she had known her daughter for the first time. This girl was very thoughtful. However, she felt a little sad in her heart. It took a lot of heartache to hide these things in her heart!
Xie Ruyue came over and took Xie Ruzhuo's hand. Although she didn't say a word, she was secretly conveying strength to her.
Xie Ruzhuo looked back with a reassuring smile, then calmed down and said, "Whether you want to explain or not, you can weigh it yourself."
At this point, Dongmei had no way out. She smiled miserably and said, "My slave has made the move. Yes, I am indeed a chess piece inserted by others. A few days ago, Qingtao came to me and asked me to help testify again. Prove that you are having an affair with someone, and promise to give me a sum of money afterwards. I was pregnant at the time, and in order to keep the child, I promised her. I told the owner about it, and she promised to clear the place on that day. All the roads that you and the second young lady must pass have been blocked, in order to ensure that the Qiao family can successfully carry out evil deeds."
Hearing this, Xie Ruyue was furious. She said bitterly, "What a Dongmei, you are so cruel! Tell me, who is the master behind you!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo smiled coldly and said, "Second sister, can't you see it?"
"Is it Shen Jingci?"
Xie Ruyue murmured, and then said with some fear, "I always thought that woman was insidious, but I didn't expect that she was so vicious and thoughtful. Fortunately, what happened today is that we are lucky, otherwise, wouldn't it be all in vain? Was he harmed by an adulterer?"
At this moment, the woman outside was heard coming in to report, "Madam, Qingtao said she wanted to confess."
Qiao immediately said, "Bring her in!"
Qingtao was beaten to the point of dying. As soon as the women let go, she collapsed on the ground like a rag bag.
"Tell me what you want to do." Mrs. Qiao had already recovered from the shock, but what Qingtao said next still chilled her heart.
"Back to Madam, Miss Qiao came to me that day and asked me to help her design the Fourth Miss. She also said that if it goes through, she will let me be the dowry of the Fourth Miss. After I go to the Qiao family, I will be the eldest young master's. People around me! I was lured by the huge sum of money and saw the talent of the eldest young master, and I had some thoughts that I shouldn’t have. Then, just now, I did so many wrong things in a moment of confusion! Please be magnanimous, madam, and spare me a moment. Take your life!"
By the end of the story, Qingtao was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Mrs. Qiao pointed at Qingtao tremblingly and said, "Okay, you all did well!" She really didn't expect that her mother-in-law would raise such a shameless thing!
As she said that, she suddenly shouted, "Come here, call Qingtao's family and take her away!" She didn't want to look at the maid in front of her again!
Seeing Qingtao crying and being carried away, Mrs. Qiao slowly fell down on the chair and said with a sad expression, "I usually love you sisters the most, but I didn't expect that now I am the one who poisoned you. My mother-in-law’s family…”
At this point, Mrs. Qiao choked up again, and she stopped talking silently, but the tears in her eyes could not be controlled.
Xie Ruzhuo ordered people to take Dongmei down, and then he and Xie Ruyue arrived in front of Mrs. Qiao, and said calmly, "Mom, you treat us well, why don't we know it. Don't overthink it, take care of yourself." yes."
Xie Huailin, who was beside him, was young and ignorant. When he saw his mother crying, he was so busy that he took a bite of pastry and brought it to Mrs. Qiao's mouth. He said in a milky voice, "Mom, don't cry. The pastry is sweet."
Seeing Xie Huailin's appearance, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but burst into laughter and hugged her son tightly.
When Qiao Jingyang was sent back, he was already half dead. The doctor went back and forth for three days before Qiao Jingyang's high fever subsided.
When the second wife of the Qiao family saw the doctor coming out, she hurriedly grabbed his clothes and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my son?"
Hearing this, the doctor shook his head and sighed, "My life was saved, but -"
"Just what?"
Seeing the doctor's hesitant expression, Mrs. Qiao immediately felt uneasy. She suppressed her bad premonition, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "It's okay, doctor, just tell me. I, I can bear it!"
Seeing this, the doctor said, "It's just that he has a high fever, and his current state of mind may be different from that of ordinary people."
Mrs. Qiao naturally understood the meaning of these words. She immediately took a few steps back, shook her head in disbelief and said, "No, it's impossible! He just has a fever, how could it be so serious!"
In the past three days, the doctor also saw how she was taking care of her son with no clothes on. Seeing her current state, he subconsciously comforted her, "Don't be too sad. If you can recover well in the future, it may not be impossible to recover." .”
Mrs. Qiao Er didn't take the doctor's words into her heart. She just covered her mouth tightly, rushed to Qiao Jingyang's bed, looked at him sleeping, and sobbed, "My poor son, he is not even twenty yet." He's still 3 years old, and he hasn't even married a housewife, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Seeing that her expression was a little crazy, the doctor knew that he could not persuade her, so he asked the maid to follow him out to get the medicine, and then left the room.
Qiao Ziyun had been listening outside the door. When she saw the doctor coming out, she hurriedly put away the smile on her lips, changed her look to a sad one, and went into the room to comfort her, "Second Aunt, don't be too sad. Didn't the doctor say that the second brother might have a better day?"
"Get out of here! If it weren't for you, how could he have suffered so much!"
As soon as she saw Qiao Ziyun, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but burst into anger. If Qiao Ziyun hadn't jumped out of the way that day, how could her son have become like this
But during one outing, her sensible and considerate son turned into a fool. How could she accept this? !
Seeing Mrs. Qiao like this, Qiao Ziyun endured the displeasure in her heart and said softly, "Second Aunt, I know it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought my second brother to that banquet. But, I didn't expect it to happen. Such a thing! Besides, you don’t know who the culprit of this matter is, so why would you say such words that will make your loved ones angry and your enemies happy? "
Hearing this, Mrs. Qiao Er's eyes moved for a moment, then she turned around, took a breath and said, "Ziyun, tell me honestly, was it really that little bitch Xie Ruyue who seduced Jingyang that day? ?”
"Isn't that right? But I don't know what happened later, but Xie Ruyue suddenly kicked the second brother into the water. When we learned the news, the second brother's face was also disfigured and he was completely soaked in the water..." Here, she seemed to remember the scene at that time again, and she began to cry more and more miserably, "Poor my kind-hearted second brother, the person tortured by Xie Ruyue is not like a human or a ghost!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help it any longer. She gripped the bedside curtain fiercely and said bitterly, "Xie Ruyue! You have made my son so miserable. I will make you spend your whole life to avenge him!" "
"Second Aunt, please calm down!" Qiao Ziyun saw that the matter was already half over, and quickly grabbed her hand and said, "You are being impulsed. Thanks to the large number of people in your family, we can't afford to fight!"
But at this time, Mrs. Qiao was so overwhelmed with anger that she could not listen. The more Qiao Ziyun stopped her, the more angry she would become.
After Mrs. Qiao was tired from screaming, Qiao Ziyun approached Mrs. Qiao and whispered, "If the second aunt insists on avenging the second brother, then Ziyun will risk his life to help the second aunt. Got it!"
When Qiao Ziyun walked out of the second-bedroom courtyard, it was dusk. The sunset in the west reflected half of the sky, and in the bright red glow, the sun slowly set.
Although it was not part of her plan for Qiao Jingyang to be stupid, it didn't matter. If he was stupid, the entire Qiao family would belong to their eldest room in the future! As for Xie Ruyue, the Xie family cannot blame Dafang for what she did to a woman who was driven crazy by her son's situation!
Nowadays, the Xie family and the second room of the Qiao family are fighting each other like snipers and clams. In the end, the only one who can benefit is the first room of her Qiao family!
After thinking about it, Qiao Ziyun glanced back at the closed door of Mrs. Qiao's room again, then lightly smiled and walked towards her courtyard.
On this day, it was rare that Hu Weide gave Xie Ruzhuo a day off, and Xie Ruyue immediately happily dragged her to go shopping.
Xie Ruzhuo couldn't resist her, so he had to change into light clothes and follow Xie Ruyue on the street.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the carriage arrived in front of Hanlin's study, a large group of people gathered at the door, and there was a lot of noise.
Hanlin Study is a shop owned by the Ji family. It has always been managed by people close to her. It has always had a good reputation in the capital. Why is it so noisy today
Xie Ruzhuo became suspicious and immediately ordered the boys to stop the carriage and said, "Second sister, let's get out of the car and take a look."
Hearing this, Xie Ruyue nodded and followed Xie Ruzhuo out of the car.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached the periphery, he saw a manager-looking man standing at the door, pointing at the ground and cursing, "You poor scholar, you dare to come here to buy books, do you know where this is, Hanlin Academy?" ! One book can feed you for a year, get out of here! Don’t embarrass yourself here!"
Looking at the ground, there was a man dressed as a scholar lying on the ground. He was wearing a navy blue gown with three or four patches on it. However, although his clothes were old, they were exceptionally clean. At this time, he was obviously pushed to the ground and his legs were broken. He was unable to get up for a while, but this could not conceal his pride.
Seeing the steward's rude words, the man immediately snorted and said, "The world is unified, and there is no distinction between noble and humble scholars. Your small study is judging people based on their appearance. It is a disgrace to scholars!"
