spring boudoir secret

Chapter 12 Hanging
The old lady rolled her eyes and was about to faint again.

Gu Changheng frowned, "Ah Ruo, my mother just had acupuncture and she is weak now, so this medicine..."

Zhao Mingruo looked serious, "Husband, didn't you hear what the doctor said, don't you want your mother to recover?"

"Still, you don't believe Doctor Zhu's diagnosis. If you don't believe it, you can go to another doctor."

She was even quicker to help the old lady who was about to faint, "Ah Fu, serve the old lady with medicine."

The old lady pretended to be unconscious, and neither did she drink the medicine. She was about to cry, and her wrinkled face was almost wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, "Ming Ruo..."

"vomit……"

"Heng'er..."

As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, Ah Fu fed the medicine in. The bitter soup came into her mouth, one spoonful after another, until she choked so much that she didn't even have a chance to speak.

"Cough cough cough..."

"vomit……"

Gu Changheng just felt that something was wrong and wanted to step forward to stop him, but the little servant Zhusheng appeared in a hurry and interrupted his words.

"Second Master..."

Zhu Sheng looked anxious, and was about to report the situation, but when she saw Zhao Mingruo here, she stopped talking again, "Second madam."

With such an appearance, it is not difficult to see that he has an unspeakable secret.

Gu Changheng immediately let go of the pleading old lady, "Mother, since the doctor has said that you need to take medicine and rest well, then you should be obedient and my son will come to see you later."

"Ah Ruo, it's mostly school matters, I'll deal with them first."

After finishing speaking, Gu Changheng ignored the old lady's request and hurriedly left.

"Woooooooo..."

The old lady struggled even harder, but she couldn't make any waves.

Ah Fu moved quickly, and with the cooperation of Zhao Mingruo, a large bowl of black soup was fed to the old lady.

"Mother, you should have a good rest first. If there is anything to do, just send someone to call for your son." Zhao Ming took Ah Fu with him and left.

"vomit……"

The old lady lay on the bed and vomited out all the soup and medicine she just drank, almost vomited all the bile, "Zhao Mingruo, you little bitch...you dare to feed me such a bitter and smelly thing, I will definitely ...I must settle accounts with you."

"vomit--"

Mother He hurried forward, "Don't be angry, old lady, your health is important."

Back in his yard, Zhao Mingruo sat upright.

Ah Fu gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "I heard that Yun Suiwan hanged himself in the inn. After hearing the news, the second master rushed to see her."

"If you cry, make trouble and hang yourself three times, you will use this despicable method to snatch other people's husbands."

Zhao Mingruo's eyes were frosty, "It's a pity that I can't watch her hang herself, but we should take this opportunity to deal with our own affairs."

"Is Peng New Year?"

"It's outside, and this servant will help you call someone." Ah Fu went out, and soon brought Peng Nian over.

"Madam, the villain has already collected all the evidence you want, please take a look." Peng Nian respectfully presented several ledgers, "There are also bad debts from other houses, but the villain handles them carefully. Butler Chen was picked alone, and no one else was implicated."

Zhao Mingruo took the ledger and flipped through it, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "This shameless person actually embezzled nearly ten thousand taels of silver."

Far exceeded Zhao Mingruo's expectations.

That was all her dowry and hard-earned money! !

"You did a good job." Zhao Mingruo said coldly, "Go and call all the other houses, we must not allow this moth to harm the Hou's residence anymore."

"Yes."

Ah Fu and Peng Nian went out together.

Soon.

Yunyao courtyard was full of people.

"Second Sister-in-law, why did you call us here at such a late afternoon?" Sifang Luo Shi complained dissatisfied.

Mrs. Shen from the third room also chimed in, "That's right, we are fast asleep, it's so cold outside, we almost caught a cold."

Zhao Mingru sat at the head with a straight face, and said calmly, "Siblings and sisters, don't worry, there is naturally something important to ask you to come here, you can see for yourself."

Ah Fu handed the account books to the ladies present here one by one.

The thirteenth son of the old Hou in Anyuan Hou's mansion, in addition to the second young master, the third young master and the fifth young girl from the old lady in the main house, there are also three aunts in the house who conceived heirs for him. Both the eighth young master and the tenth girl are from the Guo family.

Aunt Ye only had twin daughters, Miss Six and Miss Seven. Aunt Qi was the youngest, but she gave birth to Master Eleven and Miss Ten.

The third lady and the fourth lady were all surprised when they saw the ledger.

"My God, is that housekeeper Chen really so bold? He actually swallowed so much money."

"That's right, it's all the money of our Marquis's Mansion, and it's all been embezzled by this bastard. Second sister-in-law, you must deal with him well and let him spit out the money he ate."

They were discussing at one go.

The sixth young master got engaged a few years ago, and only waited for the auspicious day in May to marry and enter the house. The girls would not be counted in their natal families when they got married. Now the people who are talking in the Hou's mansion are the wives of the first five rooms.

Among them, the one with the highest prestige is the Wang family of Dafang.

Although she is a concubine, her status is even more noble than the daughter of an ordinary family. After marrying into the Hou's mansion, she was loved and loved, and she gave birth to a boy for the eldest in the second year after entering the house.

The eldest son and grandson were all taken.

If it hadn't been for the old lady taking advantage of the imprisonment of the old Hou Ye, the Hou Mansion was in chaos, and then handed over the power of the house to Zhao Mingruo, I am afraid that the entire Hou Mansion is now in the hands of the Wang family.

Mrs. Wang smiled and remained silent, never expressing her opinion.

On the contrary, Zhao Mingruo changed his normal routine and asked Wang's opinion, "Sister-in-law, do you have any opinions on the matter of Steward Chen?"

Wang lowered her head and took a sip of her tea, "Second brother and sister, since mother has entrusted you with the power of housekeeping, I naturally don't want to talk too much. You have always been prudent in managing the Hou Mansion, so you should make the decision."

Mrs. Wang will not be the first bird to offend the old lady.

The third lady couldn't understand the meaning of the two's words, "Second sister-in-law, you are confused, why do you keep him for such a sneaky thing, just drive him away."

Zhao Mingruo really wanted to shut up this mindless mouth, no wonder the old lady put all her treasures on the second child, seeing the third child like this is useless.

The fifth wife also joined in the fun, "Yes, the second sister-in-law, what the third sister-in-law said is absolutely right, just drive this person away, why bother to watch and get upset, it's not enough for us!"

Zhao Mingruo continued to laugh and said, "It's nothing important to drive someone away, but Housekeeper Chen is a distant relative of my mother. If I drive him away rashly, it seems that I, a daughter-in-law, have ulterior motives."

"Besides, the position of steward is very important to the Hou Mansion. I can't make the decision alone, so I called everyone over to discuss it together."
