Distressed wife

Chapter 38

Cui sneered in her heart, "You are holding on to the doll, but I am holding on to Chunxi's dead body. She wants to see, what can Zhang do?"

The old lady continued to close her eyes and meditate, turning a deaf ear and allowing the two to play tricks.

Mu Qingran was a little annoyed when he heard that, he seldom got involved in the affairs of the rear house, so he naturally didn't know that this woman was so loud when she quarreled, it only gave him a headache.

When Mu Ziyan heard Zhang's mention of Qiao's popularity, her eyes dimmed, and she turned to look at Qiao. Seeing a glint in her eyes, Mu Ziyan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that her mother might be plotting.

Nanny Cui stood aside, seeing that there was a lot of noise inside, she turned her eyes to look at the madam and the eldest lady, both of them looked calm and composed, so they didn't say much, just stood quietly.

Biyun and Yunxiang glanced at each other, they didn't expect that the second and third wives, who usually look dignified and virtuous, are no worse than their slaves.

Zhang also wanted to know how Chunxi's body appeared in Xi'er's courtyard, but now she didn't care about it, she had to solve the trouble of Sanfang first.

She looked at Cui Shi coldly, her tone was still so soft, "Third brothers and sisters, let alone why Chunxi's body is in Xi'er's courtyard, but a sachet fell from Chunxi's body, and the sachet used The golden thread is very special, and the golden thread is soaked in poison, I remember that the golden thread does not seem to belong to the mansion."

Cui's heart skipped a beat. Naturally, Jinsihou's Mansion doesn't have it. Today, only the concubine of the crown prince, that is, Cui's family has it. If it is really investigated, it is likely that she will be involved in the matter of stealing the sachet. It's just that the gold thread of the sachet is so hard to find, it's hard to find a similar one, but it's also a rare thing.

"What does the second sister-in-law mean?" Cui Shi was not in a panic, even if she found the golden thread, what would she do?Who else saw that the sachet was made by her?
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Zhang Shi, "Could it be that the second sister-in-law thinks that Chunxi's death is related to this sachet?"

Zhang Shi saw Cui Shi's eyes flickering coldly, she probably had some calculations in her heart, it seems that Cui Shi really made the sachet, so why did it appear on Chunxi's body?
Just as Mrs. Zhang was about to speak, she heard a report from outside, "Madam, there is a girl outside the yard crying and wanting to see you, saying that she has a grievance to sue."

"Injustice?" The old lady slowly opened her eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Standing outside was the big girl Magpie next to the old lady, she replied in a low voice.

Mammy Cong hurriedly withdrew from the room, raised her eyes and saluted Mrs. Qiao respectfully, then followed the magpie out of the hall.

Mu Ziyan glanced at the girl kneeling outside, then turned to look at Biyun who was standing beside her.

Biyun raised her eyes and gave a false look, then whispered, "Miss, she is the girl who got drunk and sneaked into the courtyard that day."

"Oh." Mu Ziyan narrowed her eyes slightly, turned her eyes and gave Biyun a look, and Biyun quietly backed out.

After a while, I saw Mammy Cong enter the room with a solemn expression, and after a while, she led the girl into the room.

The old lady just glanced at the girl kneeling on the ground, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, she was wearing half-worn clothes, her hands were rough, she couldn't see her face clearly, but she knew she was a rude girl.

Seeing that girl, Mrs. Zhang's face immediately turned pale, she grabbed the handkerchief and dared not make a sound, but just stared blankly at the girl kneeling on the ground, wishing she could beat her out.

"Which yard are you from?" The old lady naturally knew who this girl was, but she still asked in a cold voice.

The girl reported back truthfully, "Reporting to the old lady, the servant girl is from the second lady's yard."

"Slap!" The old lady said in a deep voice.

The girl was trembling with fright, and she cried out quickly, "Old lady, please forgive me, this servant is also desperate, so she came to beg old lady, old lady, please be merciful."

"Since it's in the second lady's yard, even if there is a grievance, you should go to the second lady. This kind of overstepping slave must have thought about it, and she didn't slap her!" , shouted in a low voice.

Mu Ziyan could hear it clearly from outside, she only thought that this old lady is suffering from a headache?How can you be so full of energy?
Qiao took a sip of the ginseng soup, turned to look at Mu Ziyan's dark and bright eyes, and held her soft white hand, "Are you tired?"

"Where's mother?" Mu Ziyan winked mischievously at Qiao Shi, looking full of energy.

Qiao Shi saw that she was very lively and didn't feel sleepy in the slightest, and felt more and more relieved. She only thought that her daughter was becoming more and more well-behaved and sensible, which made her love her.

"Your father will be here tomorrow, don't forget to meet him." Mrs. Qiao didn't mention anything about the second and third bedrooms, she didn't seem to care, instead she mentioned the return of Lord Hou tomorrow.

Mu Ziyan approached Mrs. Qiao, she was too upset, "Mother, you'd better go back to rest earlier, so that when dad comes back tomorrow, seeing you look bad, he will blame my brother for being too noisy."

Qiao Shi pinched her nose, "You eccentric, when did you learn to persuade people around the corner?"

"Mother, Yan'er is worried about you." Mu Ziyan leaned her head on Qiao's arms, tilted her head and smiled sweetly.

But in the inner room, it was a different scene, only the sound of "slapping" slaps was heard, and it seemed that the slaps were not light.

Mrs. Zhang looked at it and said to relieve her anger. When she came back to her senses, she secretly slandered, "Why did this girl break into the Changsong Courtyard suddenly?"

While thinking, she looked at Cui Shi, seeing her sneering at herself, her scalp went numb for a while, and she cursed secretly, "Well, you Cui Shi, you dare to blackmail me behind your back."

Seeing the girl being slapped, Mrs. Cui secretly screamed that it was not good. She took a peek at the old lady's expression and felt a little flustered. Standing in the second room.

The Cui family is getting more and more unhappy. The old lady is so protective of the second bedroom. Could it be that her master is not the old lady's own?

She felt more and more aggrieved, and the forbearance of these years came to her mind at this moment. There was only one thought, which must be to kill the prestige of the second room today, and let the old lady understand that the third room is not soft to be manipulated by the second room. persimmon.
