"Madam, you are wronged, I am wronged!"
Mrs. Qin, a confidant of the original owner He Tian, knelt on the ground, crying and shouting at the top of her lungs that she was wronged.
There were several slap marks on her fat, black face, and blood was flowing from her nose and the corners of her mouth.
Judging by his appearance, he must have just been slapped.
"This old slave really doesn't have any of the following. Madam, madam has a very high status. Even if I give this old slave a hundred courages, I won't dare to deceive my subordinates and hide my superiors, and my subordinates will offend my superiors. Aaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Speaking of the "crime" for which she was wrongly accused, Mrs. Qin cried even more miserably.
Different from the previous pretentiousness, this time she was really aggrieved and frightened.
Woo hoo, no, she really didn't "falsely pass on the imperial edict" and deliberately forced Princess Ankang to kneel down to the Dowager Madam.
Therefore, Mrs. Qin was absolutely sincere this time, and she cried so hard that her cuckoo cried blood.
However, He Tiantian didn't sympathize with her.
As the most useful person around the original owner, Mrs. Qin is definitely not a kind person.
Although He Tian is an old white flower, she comes from a rural background and has limited experience.
She was not very familiar with the twists and turns and dirty tricks in the back house.
Mrs. Qin is a servant of a wealthy family whose house was confiscated, and she knows the tricks of the inner house best.
After being accidentally bought by He Xi and sent to serve the He Tian family, Mrs. Qin began to use her expertise and often helped the He Tian family with suggestions.
She used the rules and etiquette she was familiar with to dig holes and create obstacles for Princess Ankang.
It can be said that Mrs. Qin's contribution to He Tian's ability to grasp Ankang so quickly and accurately was indispensable in addition to her own Bailian specialty.
Sometimes, she is even more hateful than He Tianshi.
Perhaps it was due to her inferiority complex due to her origin as a slave, or perhaps due to her experience of great changes, Mrs. Qin's heart was also a little distorted.
As a slave, she actually enjoyed bullying her noble master.
To borrow a saying often said by Little D’s classmate, Mrs. Qin is only half a step away from becoming a pervert.
Such a twisted, perverted, but well-versed slave who knew the rules of survival in the inner house really caused Princess Ankang to suffer a lot.
But this time, He Xi wanted to find a scapegoat and push Mrs. Qin out to take the blame for her mother.
To say that she was wronged, she was indeed wronged by Mrs. Qin. After all, the person who forced Ankang to kneel was He Tian, not her slave.
But it would not be too much to say that it is not unjust.
Just any of the things Mrs. Qin did in the past would be enough to give her a slap in the face.
Therefore, after seeing Mother-in-law Qin being slapped by He Xi, and seeing her running to her mother-in-law crying and begging her so miserably, Princess Ankang, who had always been kind and weak, did not relent in the slightest.
The two maids Bai Zhi and Baiwei who were following her also showed happy expressions - yes! This old pious woman should have been severely beaten long ago!
"...Have you been wronged by my son?"
He Tiantian didn't seem to see the reactions of Ankang's master and servants, but asked lightly: "So, I deliberately made Ankang kneel in front of my bed?"
"when-"
The word "ran" was still on her lips, but Mrs. Qin quickly reacted.
She quickly changed her words and shook her head desperately, "No, of course not! The Madam has always loved the Madam, and, how could she-"
The Hetian family didn't like Ankang, their daughter-in-law, and deliberately tried every means to tease her. This was a secret that the He family could not tell.
In fact, many people in the family are well aware of it, but this kind of thing cannot be revealed without seeing through it.
As He Tian's first confidant, Mrs. Qin understands He Tian's thoughts better.
He Tian wanted to trample her daughter-in-law under her feet, but she couldn't bear any infamy.
She also wants to maintain her "good mother-in-law" persona.
Therefore, those methods against Princess Ankang were all carried out secretly.
Even if it is put on the bright side, it is the work of a "diao slave".
Every once in a while, the Hetian family would introduce an insignificant maid or a rough woman as a scapegoat.
Not only was he responsible for appeasing Princess Ankang, He Tian also deliberately spread the word -
"Old lady, I am a poor housekeeper, so I allowed Diao Nu to be disrespectful to Princess Ankang because he is the one who serves the elders!"
"Although they are people around me, our He family does not have that principle. A slave is a slave. Even if he is used by his elders, if he dares to offend his master, he should be punished!"
He Tian shouted happily, but when he punished people, it was just loud thunder and small rain.
At most, they would kick people out or find someone to exploit them.
Moreover, He Tianshi has repeatedly emphasized that those slaves who offended Princess Ankang were "people close to the elders."
He Tian could push people out and punish them severely with "righteous words" and "just and selfless", but as a daughter-in-law, Ankang could not just sit back and watch.
She had obviously been wronged and bullied by the thugs, and the matter had been "hyped" like this by the He Tian family, yet Ankang still had to intercede for several scapegoats against her will.
As for Mr. He Tian, he got off the donkey along the slope, lifted it up high, and lowered it gently. Then he told everyone he met that he had found a good daughter-in-law.
When outsiders heard the gossip about the He family, many elderly ladies criticized Princess Ankang.
Even if you are born into a noble family, you should also be filial to your elders.
The people around the elders, even if they are cats and dogs, cannot be said to be more respected than the younger masters. The younger ones should also be more tolerant for the sake of the elders.
How could Princess Ankang make such a big fuss? !
Fortunately, although He Tian was born in a rural area, he is a person who understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into consideration.
He was obviously his confidant, but for the sake of family harmony and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he still endured the pain.
Alas, the elders are in trouble too.
Women of the older generation can understand best. For women like them who are trapped in the inner house, they are not afraid to say something ugly: many times, their husbands and children are not as considerate as the old servants who have been with them for decades!
Some ladies, after hearing about the He family's affairs, even began to use it on themselves.
I thought that if the person I was most useful to had offended my daughter-in-law, I was forced to punish or sell her...
Oops, I can’t think about it. As long as I think about it for a moment, I can’t help but feel aggrieved and uncomfortable!
And when they think about the status gap between Princess Ankang and the He Tian family, some people wonder if Ankang is using her power to bully others, thinking that she is a daughter of the clan and even her mother-in-law doesn't care about her
As a result, after this happened several times, He Tian's reputation became even better, and Princess Ankang, who had always been weak and low-key, was accused of being "domineering"!
From now on, even if Ankang really can't bear it anymore and wants to stir up trouble with the He family, the Hetian family will have a way out - it's all the fault of a slave!
After all, there is a precedent.
At that time, if one or two slaves with some weight are introduced, the Hetian family will be able to escape unscathed.
Princess Ankang: ... I'm used to it, who asked me to play an evil mother-in-law with superb acting skills.
This morning, He Xi went to court.
Ankang came to Shouantang to pay his respects to his mother-in-law as usual, and was not surprised to see Mother-in-law Qin running up and crying with a miserable look on her face.
Well, why "no surprise at all"
The reason is simple, because this is not the first time something like this has happened.
The only difference is probably that in the past, Mrs. Qin was just acting, but this time, Mrs. Qin was actually punished by He Xi!
Princess Ankang stood aside with her hands down. She lowered her head and did not look at the master and servant. She just waited silently for her mother-in-law to take the opportunity to have an attack.
but-
Ankang waited for a long time, but did not hear any reprimand from his mother-in-law.
Ankang couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and secretly looked at his mother-in-law in the hall with the corner of his eye.
I heard my mother-in-law say in a cold voice, "Of course not me! I treat Ankang like my own daughter!"
"And Ankang has always been well-behaved and filial. She has never disobeyed me. How could I deliberately punish her to kneel down?"
Mrs. Qin:…
Even though she was born in a wealthy family and had seen many women who were good at pretending, but at this moment, hearing He Tiantian's words, she couldn't help but be speechless.
Madam, there are no outsiders here, so no one knows who is who!
Everyone knows that you don't like Ankang, your daughter-in-law, and you have resorted to many tricks secretly.
In order to control others, he even used his two grandchildren as rafts.
Her conflict with Ankang has become a well-known secret in the He family.
Everyone would even try to hide it a little in front of He Xi, the head of the family.
Now that He Xi is not here, there are only Madam Tai, Princess Ankang and their confidants in the house, so why does Madam Tai need to act
Didn't you see that Bai Zhi and Bai Wei both had expressions of disdain and contempt? !
"I am not forcing Ankang. A filial person like Ankang would not kneel down deliberately and put me, an elder, in an 'unkind' situation. So, the question is, who is doing this?"
He Tiantian deliberately looked angry, and her eyes were full of pity and trust for Ankang, her daughter-in-law.
After reaching this point in her acting career, He Tiantian is really glad that the original actress is a white lotus. She often speaks well of her daughter-in-law in front of others, and she has always been creating a "good mother-in-law" persona.
Now, He Tiantian doesn't have to go through too much pain to maintain her character. She just needs to follow what the original owner said and truly love her daughter-in-law as her own family member!
The character won't collapse, and she doesn't have to be a vicious villain against her will, which is great!
"Ding! Mrs. Qin's hatred value +10!"
Oh ho!
You know that Mrs. Qin doesn't have any bad intentions.
Yesterday, when she was used as a scapegoat by He Xi, she actually contributed 1 point of hatred to He Tiantian. He Tiantian thought of this person's nature.
He is indeed the most powerful confidant of the original owner. He is narrow-minded and good at expressing anger, just like the original owner!
In this case, don't blame me!
The wool is gathering up!
"Mrs. Qin, you really disappoint me!"
"I thought you were sensible and capable, but I didn't expect that you would go behind my back and do such a wrong thing of deceiving others and making mistakes!"
He Tiantian pretended to be sad and angry and scolded.
"Ding! Mrs. Qin's hatred value +3!"
"Ding! Mrs. Qin's hatred value +5!"
"Ding! Mrs. Qin..."
Alas, it is indeed a "loyal servant".
He Tiantian was secretly happy, but she still had a sad look on her face.
It seemed that she recognized the true identity of her confidant for the first time, accused Mrs. Qin, and then turned to look at Ankang.
What a coincidence, he just happened to catch Ankang's shocked gaze.
Ankang:…
Gudong!
She swallowed nervously, her heart pounding wildly.
What, what happened to my mother-in-law
She suddenly became so loving, she, she was very maladaptive.
After being "trained" by the evil mother-in-law for five years, Ankang finally understood this sweet-faced and bitter-hearted elder.
Seeing her change of expression, Ankang was not moved at all, but felt very uneasy - Could it be that her mother-in-law had a new trick
At this time, Ankang didn't know that her mother-in-law and husband already knew that her second brother was returning to Beijing.
She couldn't guess what the mother and son were thinking, so she could only be secretly on guard.
"Ankang, it's all because my mother doesn't know people well and I've wronged you!"
"You are indeed a filial and good boy, with such a noble background, but for my mother-in-law, you endured the humiliation of a naughty slave!"
He Tiantian pretended not to see the shock and wariness in Ankang's eyes, and smiled lovingly.
Just listen to her continue to use the tone of an old hen pampering her chicks, and say softly, "My child, don't worry, my mother will never condone these unruly slaves!"
"Ding! Mrs. Qin's hatred value +5!"
He Tiantian was secretly happy and lovingly comforted Ankang, who was still confused.
When she turned her face again, she put on a serious expression, "Mrs. Qin, you have made a huge mistake. I really can't forgive you!"
"Come here, take Mrs. Qin out, beat her 20 times, and then send her out with the whole family. She is never allowed to step into the door of my He family again!"
He Tiantian waved her hand and gave the order directly.
"Madam, please forgive me, Madam, I really didn't insult Princess Ankang!"
"Ding! Mrs. Qin's hatred value +10!"
"Madam, this old slave has been wronged. Please forgive me for the fact that I have served you with all my heart for five years!"
"Ding! Mrs. Qin's hatred value +3!"
"Madam—"
"Ding!"
It was really lively. Two voices sounded almost at the same time in He Tiantian's ears and in the depths of his consciousness.
"Why don't you drag the person down?"
He Tiantian was in a happy mood, but it showed on her face that she was very angry.
She seemed to be really angry at the naughty Mrs. Qin who was bullying her superiors and subordinates. Her body was shaking when she spoke.
The maidservants serving on the verandah outside the door did not dare to delay. Several people rushed in and dragged Mrs. Qin down.
Then came the execution in the courtyard by Qingzhuang Guyuan.
Snapped! Bang bang!
The board landed on his butt, making a muffled sound.
Mrs. Qin was gagged and couldn't make a sound at all.
But He Tiantian knew her pain and hatred—
"Ding! Mrs. Qin's hatred value +3!"
"Ding! Mrs. Qin's hatred value +5!"
He Tiantian didn't think it was enough. She seemed to suddenly think of something and called the steward: "How dare Mrs. Qin be so bold? It's obvious that she is not a well-behaved person."
"In this case, you take someone to search her house to see if she has stolen anything from the house!"
When Mrs. Qin, who was being tortured in the yard, heard this, her eyes widened and her whole body trembled violently.
"Ding! Mrs. Qin's hatred value +20!"
He Tiantian: ... Sure enough, Mrs. Qin is really a "loyal servant"!
