Rebirth of a famous family: Mala's first wife

Chapter 239
The first chapter of "Biography of Ren and Filial Piety" says: Yuanwai Hong's family in the previous dynasty married two wives, one big and one small.The little lady wanted her son to monopolize the family property, so she set up a poisonous plan and burned the eldest wife, the eldest son and daughter-in-law to death.Dafang's only bloodline, Yuanwai Hong's grandson escaped by chance, and grew up under the care of a kind elder.After he knew the truth, he did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to the capital to sue the imperial court, asking the imperial decree to avenge his grandmother, father, and mother.

Mrs. Jiang only listened to the first part, and felt that every word and every word in the play was alluding to herself.Hmph, that boy Mei Xiaodong must have sent someone to write this ghostly drama, and deliberately performed it at his birthday banquet!

Mrs. Jiang almost gritted her silver teeth, she wished she could drag that troupe owner out and behead him on the spot!Due to the presence of the guests, it can't happen, because once it happens, it will confirm my guilty conscience!
So she still had a warm smile on her face, and continued to drink tea and listen to the opera gracefully, as if what was said in the opera was really just the past, and had nothing to do with her.Facing the probing or schadenfreude gazes from other people, she looked calm as if she didn't see them.

But the confidant woman next to her saw something strange in the play and began to feel uncomfortable.The mother-in-law quickly thought of an idea, and bent down to ask Mrs. Jiang: "Madam, why don't I go find the troupe owner and ask him to stop the play immediately? Tell the guests that the young man who sings in the opera has broken his voice... ..."

"Stupid donkey! Do you think your master and I are not ashamed enough today?!" Mrs. Jiang frowned and cursed, which made the woman bow her head in fear.But Jiang herself turned her head and continued to watch the play. Because of anger, the teacup in her hand made a crisp sound.

The actors on the stage sang sadly, and the first turn gradually came to an end.The plot at this time is that the grandson is crying in front of the imperial court about the hardships he suffered as a child, and the sound of grief made the guests sigh and sigh.Afterwards, more suspicious eyes cast on Jiang Shi, and some people even whispered about Jiang Shi's similar behavior in the past.

Jiang Shi's sharp nails almost pierced her palms to bleed, but she had to force herself to be calm, straightened her back even more, and sat proudly, maintaining her last face.

However, when the scene was changing on the stage and the second cut was about to start, there was a sudden scream of "Ah!" from the backstage!
This scream pierced the eardrums, and it sounded extremely horrifying. All the guests stood up in horror, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"What's the matter? What happened?" The ladies around Mrs. Jiang looked around in panic.

Jiang Shi also stood up abruptly, her face was frosty, and a very bad premonition filled her heart!

"Elder Sister, the voice seems to be coming from the backstage, send someone to check it out!" Jiang's third sister urged repeatedly.

However, as if to confirm Jiang's bad conjecture, there were chaotic and mournful cries from the backstage, "Ah! Leader, what's wrong with you, Leader! Wake up, Leader!..."

The shouts were extremely anxious, and all the guests looked at each other, all showing worried expressions.

Jiang's heart had already risen to her throat, but her face became more and more elegant. She smiled gracefully to the panicked and doubtful guests, "Everyone, don't panic, it's probably because the troupe master is ill and suddenly fainted. Get it down." Turning his head and ordering to the left and right, "Hurry up and settle the class leader properly, and send someone to invite the doctor!"

"Yes, ma'am!" The women agreed, and Fei hurried away.They are all old people around Jiang, so they naturally know that the shouts from the backstage are unusual, and that the leader of the class is definitely not as simple as fainting.Therefore, the most important thing at this time is not to invite a doctor, but to seal off the scene and prevent outsiders from getting in to inquire about the news.

"Oh, that class leader looks fat and fat. I didn't expect to get sick when he said he was sick." Jiang's good sister said following what she said just now.

"Yeah, it's common to get sick and faint, so it's important to have a look quickly."

"Well, it seems that today's play will not be finished, why don't we go somewhere else together."

For a moment, the gorgeous dresses flickered, and the wives were about to leave the place of trouble, but a little maid came rushing in panic: "Madam, it's bad, it's bad! Someone died in the backstage! "

"Human life?!" Someone among the guests repeated loudly, and everyone stopped in their tracks, and their expressions became solemn.

Jiang's face turned red and white, and the handkerchief was tightly clenched.human life.human life.On the day of her birthday, someone died in the mansion!She never believed it, it was just a coincidence!
The confidant mother-in-law dodged in front of Jiang Shi, shouted at the reckless little girl and asked: "Irregular things! Don't you know how to answer properly? Doesn't such yelling and yelling scare you nobles?! After she finished speaking quickly, she immediately winked at the thick women around her and ordered loudly, "You guys don't take her down yet!"

The little girl opened her terrified eyes, and before she could struggle, several tiger-like minions tightly covered her mouth, pinned her hands and feet, and quickly dragged her down.

"Mrs. Duke, I had a great birthday banquet. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. For the sake of the family's reputation, I think it's better to report to the officials immediately!" Someone kindly suggested.

Jiang's heart was already icy cold, and her temples were throbbing.Damn it, this is her birthday banquet, and it was ruined just like that!She really wanted to investigate this strange matter herself, and find out the person behind it with her own hands!But the top priority is to get this matter over quickly and give the guests an explanation, so as not to get involved in bigger things later and ruin your reputation!
So, she was waiting, waiting for her own people to come to the rescue.

At this time, a decent woman who had been with her for many years ran over from the backstage and reported in a volume that all the guests could hear, "Ma'am, I have been asked by the maidservants. I have had a seizure recently, and just now it was because of a sudden angina pectoris, so I fell to the ground all of a sudden."

Oh, that's it.What is needed is such an explanation.The corner of Jiang's mouth moved imperceptibly, and the tense string in her heart was relaxed.She frowned slightly, pretending to be regretful, and said, "Oh, this must be his fate. Mama Lin, you go and have someone carry him back for a proper burial, and ask the mages to ascend to heaven."

"Yes, yes! That's exactly what it should be!" The guests all sighed in sympathy.But he said in his heart: The mistress of the British government is indeed a good means!

Jiang shi sighed a few words, and then said, "I'm the one who let you down today and spoiled everyone's interest. I'll reorganize the table another day and surprise you all." Seeing that the scene has returned to her control In the middle, there was a hint of complacency on her face.

At this moment, Mei Xiaodong came out from the shadow leisurely, and said with his hands behind his back, "Wait a minute!"
