"Grandma, I also believe that mother would not do such a low-level thing." After Qiao finished speaking, Xie Ruzhuo immediately agreed. She could still tell who was right and who was wrong. She could think of a few people behind Dongmei, but Qiao was definitely not on her list of suspects!
If she believed Dongmei's words, she would have fallen into the trap of someone with serious intentions.
Qiao didn't seem to expect that Xie Ruzhuo would say that, her eyes immediately became wet, and her eyes looking at Xie Ruzhuo were a little more grateful.
At this moment, a woman's slightly weak voice sounded outside, "Hey, the fourth lady's yard is quite lively. You can hear the roar of people from far away."
It is my aunt Fu.
She had just had a miscarriage and was still a little weak. Due to excessive blood loss, her face was still pale with a lack of energy and blood. The green thin coat she wore at this time made her complexion even more sallow. Even so, it failed to polish off her hostility. Instead, she looked more like a sexy ghost crawling out of hell, looking particularly cold.
After Mrs. Fu said this, she let go of the maid's hand, and then greeted them one by one. When Xie Shenyan was invited, she deliberately exposed a section of her graceful and white neck, and even the moon pendants on her earlobes dangled, quite a bit like a delicate beauty.
Xie Shenyan was a little bored with her, but seeing her lying down like this, he felt a little pity for her. He immediately helped her up with his own hands and said warmly, "You just had a miscarriage. You are not in good health and you can't stay in bed. Come on." What are you doing here?”
Mrs. Fu smiled flattered and said, "I know that the old lady is here, and I want to say hello to you. Who knew that everyone would be here at the same time?"
However, Mrs. Ji looked down on her being so frivolous, "Didn't I tell you not to come to greet me? If you don't know, you thought my Xie family was mistreating my concubine."
Mrs. Fu's face froze, and she was secretly resentful, but she changed the subject and said, "Hey, what's going on? I just saw the boy being beaten in the yard, and he was very cruel."
Some people couldn't wait to watch the fun, and when others didn't answer, Mrs. Lu immediately explained the process vividly, but before she could finish the story, Ms. Ji roared into silence.
Despite this, Mrs. Fu still felt happy when she heard it. She was ecstatic in her heart, but she had a worried look on her face. She took Xie Ruzhuo's hand and said, "My poor Zhuo'er, you have suffered so much. My aunt didn't expect you to be so wronged. Hey, you were raised by my side back then." When I was there, I never saw anything so serious.”
Xie Ruzhuo's mother died early. Before Mrs. Qiao came in, Xie Ruzhuo was raised by Fu Qian'er's side. She always believed that she would be the mistress of the house in the future. But who would have expected that within a few years, Mr. Qiao would come in and not only take Xie Ruzhuo into his care, but also take back the power of the family.
Over the years, Fu Qian'er was respectful to the eldest lady on the surface, but secretly she did a lot of mischief.
Now that she said these words, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly got goosebumps all over her body. She stayed away from Fu Qian'er with some precautions, and said, "Auntie's words are a bit exaggerated. I have been wronged, so I will do it myself." My mother helps me solve my problems. But you, my aunt, don't seem to have a very good memory. I haven't forgotten the time you pushed me into the water a few days ago."
Hearing this, Fu Qian'er's face suddenly stiffened, and she said sarcastically, "It was my aunt who couldn't stand firm that time. Besides -" she said, changing her look of sadness again, "my aunt's child also died because of this. That's... Your biological brother, just like that..."
Xie Ruzhuo thought to himself, you couldn't save this child in the first place, but you used it to frame Mr. Qiao in the previous life! But she could only say this in her heart, but she couldn't express it on her face, so she only made a staggering movement to fall down.
Qian Bi is worthy of being an old man next to her. As soon as she moved, Qian Bi came over to support Xie Ruzhuo, and then said angrily, "Auntie, I'm really embarrassed to say that the young lady was dragged into the water by you for no reason and was unconscious for a whole day. You kid She was the one who committed the crime, no one else is to blame. But who did she offend, young lady? She just made a meritorious service by blocking the prince's arrow, and finally saved her life from the King of Hell, but you almost caused her to go to see the King of Hell again!"
As soon as she said these words, Ji immediately remembered what Fu Qian'er had done before, and her eyes became more and more unhappy, "Ms. Fu, since you are not feeling well, you should go back to your yard as soon as possible. There is nothing wrong with wandering around here." What!"
Mrs. Fu was snatched away by Qian Bi, and her original show of weakness turned into a joke. She bit her lower lip fiercely and said after a long time, "I also care about Zhuo'er. After all, she is being framed now, and the innocence of her daughter's family is the most important thing! I did make an honest mistake that day, but what happened today, But it was done intentionally.”
She forcibly changed the topic back to the current matter. How could Mr. Lu miss this good opportunity? He immediately agreed, "Isn't it? If this matter gets out, let alone what will happen to Zhuo'er?" The other young ladies in our family will also be implicated. After all, this is the daughter raised by the Xie family! This person who set up the situation is simply too cruel. Could it be that he doesn't care about the reputation of other people's daughters if he says he can't give birth to a daughter? Is it done?"
Mrs. Lu's words were not unkind. There were only two people present who had not given birth to a daughter, one was Mrs. Qiao and the other was Mrs. Fu. But now Mrs. Fu has obviously just arrived, but Mrs. Qiao has really been identified!
However, Xie Ruzhuo could not let her slander Mrs. Qiao and said calmly, "Third aunt, I'm afraid you have forgotten. Just now you said that you would send me to a temple to be a maiden. Can I also think that you are jealous of my reputation?" It will make your daughter’s pearl fall into dust, so you want to get rid of me?!”
"You...how can you miss me so much! Xie Ruzhuo, you are so kind and think of me as a donkey!" After hearing this, Mrs. Lu suddenly became furious, but in the eyes of others, it was more like a guilty conscience and anger.
"That's right, Zhuo'er, if you think like this, wouldn't it cause pain to your loved ones and happiness to your enemies?" Mrs. Fu took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears that were not there, and said with a slight choke.
When she said this, Xie Ruzhuo smiled, "Tell me, aunt, who is the enemy and who is the relative?"
Mrs. Fu was slightly startled and said, "Of course we are all relatives." Xie Ruzhuo's question was so disgusting. He couldn't bring himself to say that Ms. Qiao was an enemy!
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo sneered. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the boy outside reporting, "Li Ding has fainted."
Xie Shenyan waved his hand and ordered Li Ding to be dragged down and thrown into the woodshed. After giving the instructions, Xie Shenyan stared at Dongmei sinisterly and said, "If you tell the truth now, it's still too late, otherwise, his fate will be yours!"
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Dongmei rolled her eyes and fainted from fright.
Xie Shenyan frowned and said, "You have so little courage, huh!"
However, if a person faints, he will definitely not be interrogated again. The person is from Xie Ruzhuo's yard, so naturally it is up to her to make the decision. Xie Ruzhuo was not polite and immediately ordered people to imprison Dongmei temporarily. Then he looked at Ji seriously and said, "Grandma, we all know what kind of person my mother is. She definitely did not do what happened today, but it is of great importance, and I will definitely find out! When the time comes, I will also I will never let a bad guy go!"
When she spoke, there was a cold smell that made Fu Qian'er shiver.
After staying for half a day, Ji was a little tired. Seeing that she could no longer interrogate, she stood up and said, "Zhuo'er, you have been wronged today. Don't worry, grandma will give you an explanation."
Xie Ruzhuo obediently agreed and watched Ji leave.
Lu just didn't get any benefits from Xie Ruzhuo, so she didn't want to stay any longer, so she immediately left with the second lady.
Only Mr. Qiao still stayed in Tingfeng Courtyard.
As soon as they got out of the hospital, Mrs. Lu couldn't wait to say to Mrs. Li, "Sister-in-law is really a good trick. She refused to give her dowry in the spring. I thought Ruzhuo had seen her character clearly, but I didn't want to , Today she is so protective of my sister-in-law. Oh, I am really worried about the fate of this child. "
Li Shi glanced at her lightly and said, "Brother and sister, do you know a word?"
"What?"
"If there are flowers in your heart, then the world will be full of flowers. And vice versa." After leaving these words, Ms. Li turned around and left with her daughter, leaving Ms. Lu stunned.
It took a while for Mrs. Lu to realize what she meant, and she immediately said angrily, "How dare you, Mrs. Li, to ridicule me!" She pointed at Mrs. Li's back bitterly and said, "How clean do you think you are? If you were really clean, you wouldn't come running over like crazy! If you were really clean, then Jin Su wouldn't die by such a coincidence!"
Xie Rulan, who was on the side, intuitively felt that there was a secret inside, and immediately tugged on the corner of Lu's clothes and said softly, "Mom, please be quieter, who is Jin Su?"
Mrs. Lu snorted and said disdainfully, "Who else could it be? Your second uncle's concubine."
"Then why haven't I seen it before?" Xie Rulan held Lu's hand and asked inquiringly while walking slowly.
Mrs. Lu glanced at her lovingly, and then spoke like someone pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, "You were still holding me in my arms at that time, how could you have seen her before? That Jinsu was the dowry maid brought by Mrs. Li, and she looked strange. She's so beautiful. Your second uncle is just a pervert. How can he not be tempted? One month after they got married, Jin Su got married. Not long after, Jin Su got pregnant with a child, your eldest sister. Originally, Li was beaten for this matter. Everyone thought she had a good temper for enduring it. But who would have thought that within two years, Jin Su would be pregnant again, and even the imperial doctor said it might be a boy. Who would have expected that Jin Su would fall down when she got up at night? He hit his head on the stone slab, killing two people! It was still a fully formed male fetus!"
When Mrs. Lu said this, she only said it was a pity, but her eyes were shining with excitement. After staying in the mansion for a long time, the only thing left in the field of vision is this small sky. Women not only carry on the family line, but also win the favor of men. And this kind of thing has become their only source of fun.
After hearing this, Xie Rulan's eyes flashed with light, and then she hid herself and said, "So, the eldest sister is quite pitiful."
Mrs. Lu snorted and said, "She was born by a maid, what's so pitiful about her? Although my mother is dead, the good news is that she was born beautiful. As long as she behaves well, I'm sure Li won't treat her badly in two years."
Hearing this, Xie Rulan looked around cautiously, and when she saw no one passing by, she said, "Okay, mother, let's not talk about this anymore. Dad is coming back soon, so let's go back quickly."
When she thought that there was a confusing vixen in her backyard, Mrs. Lu suddenly woke up and said bitterly, "Yes, we have to go back quickly. We can't let your father sleep in her yard again tonight!"
