Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 77

Fu Rong knelt in front of Aunt Wang tremblingly, shouting for innocence, Aunt Wang waited for Mrs. Shen to finish speaking, and then asked with a smile: "Fu Rong, since you said you were wronged, then let me ask you, are you wronged?" On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, did you leave the gate of the Hou Mansion?"

Furong wiped away her tears, thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, because the slave's mother sent a message to the slave that day, saying that the slave's father had caught a cold and fell ill, and the slave's elder brother and sister-in-law were going to work again, because the elder brother and sister-in-law were I was working as an errand in the second room, and I was busy that day, so I couldn't spare my hands. The servant's mother asked if the servant could go back to support the day. .”

"Because your father is sick, so your mother went to the pharmacy?" Aunt Wang continued to ask, and Fu Rong nodded hurriedly: "Yes, in fact, the doctor prescribed the medicine before, but after sleeping all night, my father After sweating, my mother was worried that the disease would recover, so she wanted to ask the doctor if I should change the prescription. I went to Tongrentang in the next street, and I invited Dr. Zhang from Tongrentang. Dr. Zhang also said that day, no need to change. Fangzi, just eat the previous prescription for another two days."

"Second Madam, you said that the clerk at the pharmacy said that Fu Rong's mother went to buy Sanleng. Which pharmacy is that pharmacy?" Aunt Wang turned to ask the Second Madam Shen. The guy in Huichunfang, Furong's mother is very cautious. She was afraid of being seen, so she deliberately chose a medicine shop far away from her home, but it was because the place she chose was a little far away, so anyone who saw her along the way, It’s really not a minority.”

"I specially asked someone to ask along the way. At that time, Furong's mother was wearing a withered yellow padded jacket with a slanted front, a light green jacket skirt, and an autumn-colored purse around her waist, right?" Second Mrs. Shen Asking with the corner of her mouth raised, Fu Rong was so shocked that she could hardly speak.

Aunt Wang looked down at Fu Rong: "Is what the second lady said right?"

It's not too stupid for Fu Rong to be a second-class maid in front of Aunt Wang. What else do you not understand at this moment?I am the target chosen by the second wife to deal with my aunt, but it is obvious that the second wife has arranged everything properly, and even my mother's clothes are the same that day, so I can justify it is that clear?

Thinking about it, Fu Rong felt a little desperate, but she absolutely could not admit to this matter: "The maidservant's mother did indeed wear this kind of clothes that day, but such clothes are not only made by the servant's mother. In our house, there are such clothes There are not ten but six women, not to mention people in the entire capital. How can the second wife say that she is my mother? Moreover, my mother went to Tongrentang, and there are people who can testify to this. My mother left It's the alley behind our Hou's Mansion, the servant's house is the one in the middle of the alley, Pozi Luo's is on the opposite side, and Pooh He's is on the left, both of them can prove that my mother went to Tongrentang."

Before Mrs. Shen could talk about flowers, Fu Rong said again: "If these two families can't testify, then there are still people in the whole alley. When the wives and mothers of many families were preparing to sacrifice the stove at night, many of them opened their doors. My mother walked all the way, but everyone she knew had said hello. The second lady sent someone to ask. I can ask."

"If it is said that these neighbors can give false testimony, then there is also the guy in the shop near Tongrentang. The shops on that street were open that afternoon. The second lady can send someone to ask. December 23 Did a woman wearing a withered yellow padded jacket with a slanted front and a bright green skirt pass by their door that day?"

Furong turned to Second Madam Shen and said: "As for the three-edged powder, I have never even heard of it, let alone have it. Since the second lady said that someone testified that the slave has the smell of three-edged powder, why don't you call that person?" Come here and confront the servants face to face."

Second Madam Shen was a little annoyed: "Did you talk to Master like this?"

Fu Rong hurriedly lowered her head: "Your servant is wrong, it's just that Madam wronged you so much, I dare not accept such a thing, I am naturally timid, I am afraid that the second wife really thinks that this matter was done by my servant, so I have to argue A few more words. Besides, this is murder and arson, and there must be a reason first. The servants are taking good care of our aunt, and there is no deep hatred with the third lady, so why should the servants do such a thing?"

"Who said it was aimed at the third room?" Mrs. Shen sneered, probably not wanting to argue with a servant, so she turned to the old lady and said, "Old lady, my daughter-in-law has already said that this matter is not related to the third room. It doesn't matter much, Aunt Wang was afraid that sister-in-law would give birth to a son-in-law, so she took the risk to attack sister-in-law, and then accidentally injured Hongliu, the matter is as simple as that..."

"Second brother and sister, don't worry." Mrs. Shen smiled and interrupted Mrs. Shen's words: "You said the reason just now, and Aunt Wang didn't admit it. In my opinion, let's continue talking about you. This evidence? Are there any other witnesses or evidence? Listen, Fu Rong's words are also very reasonable, but right now, I really can't tell who is right and who is wrong."

Mrs. Shen Er looked at Mrs. Shen with some anger: "Sister-in-law, why are you so soft-tempered! You believe what others say! Don't even think about it, if something goes wrong with you, this huge Hou's mansion will be cheap Who!"

Mrs. Shen was a little surprised: "Looking at what the second sibling said, why does it seem that this matter must be aimed at me? As I said before, I never drink that anti-fetal medicine, and everyone in the house knows it. Even if this thing is really aimed at me, it shouldn't be something wrong with that bowl of medicine."

Saying that, Mrs. Shen sighed, and stretched out her hand to Aunt Wang: "I was not in the mansion before, Aunt Wang was the one who took care of the long house for me, and Aunt Wang took care of Lord Hou for me. In the past ten years, Lord Hou is very satisfied with Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang has never made any mistakes. To put it bluntly..."

Mrs. Shen raised her head to look at Aunt Wang, and looked at Second Mrs. Shen with a smile: "If Aunt Wang really wants to prevent me from giving birth to this child, there are plenty of ways, so why hurt others so much? The evidences mentioned by the second younger siblings are also true. It’s a bit untenable, let alone Aunt Wang is dissatisfied, even I don’t believe it.”

Mrs. Shen's face turned red and she was angry: "Forget it, I just listened to the Pingshu and wept. I was worrying for others in vain. My sister-in-law doesn't care about it, and I don't have to make myself look like a human being." .Aren’t you going to look at the evidence? Then let’s take the evidence, Furong, you said before that you have never seen Sanleng, so let me ask you, what is this?”

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Shen threw a purse in front of Fu Rong. Fu Rong couldn't help frowning after just looking at it. Didn't you give the lotus?Why did it suddenly appear here?

Thinking about it, Furong remembered that the second lady had said that someone had smelled the three-edged powder on her body. Could it be... Furong's face turned pale. If it was really a lotus, then she would be blind. He actually regarded this white-eyed wolf as his good sister.Moreover, my aunt treated her and herself well, so how could she betray my aunt?

"Furong, do you recognize this purse?" Second Madam Shen asked again, and Furong kowtowed twice on the ground: "This purse is recognized by my servant, three months ago, this purse was given to me by my servant. Dare to ask Second Madam, how did this purse get into your hands?"

Regardless of whether the purse was handed in by Lotus or not, Fu Rong must not admit that the purse was in her hands before.

"Give it to the lotus? Can someone prove that you gave this purse to the lotus?" Mrs. Shen Er really sneered and asked someone to bring the lotus in.Since the Second Madam Shen dared to let He Hua come out as a witness, the arrangements had already been made properly. There is no doubt that the description of He Hua was based on the previous inferences of the Second Madam Shen.

Fu Rong stared at He Hua resentfully, but He Hua only lowered her head, and knelt aside without saying a word after finishing the matter.Naturally, no one can prove that this purse was given to Lotus by Fu Rong.Of the three second-class maids, only she and Lotus were chosen by Aunt Wang herself, and the remaining rose was rewarded by the old lady.Fu Rong always felt that in Aunt Wang's yard, she and He Hua were on the same side, so in the past, she and He Hua were the best friends. The two little sisters exchanged purses in private, and then agreed a little secret. Some things have never been done before.

Furong couldn't predict the future, how could she know that such a purse became the evidence of her murder.

Second Madam Shen looked at Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, now that we have all the witnesses and material evidence, what else do you want to say?"

Aunt Wang smiled and pointed to the purse in front of Fu Rong, raised her eyebrows and asked, "The so-called physical evidence is this purse, right?"

Second Madam Shen nodded, and Aunt Wang smiled and nodded at Lotus and the others: "The so-called witnesses are just a few of them, right?"

Mrs. Shen Er was quite impatient: "Why, you have to be the same as before, thinking that what this witness said is not credible?"

Aunt Wang nodded: "Of course it's not credible, there are too many loopholes. However, since the second lady has identified the slave as the murderer, if you want to come to the loopholes I mentioned, the second lady probably won't listen to it. Yes. Besides, the old lady is getting old after all, the Lord Hou also explained before, let the old lady rest, if the things in this mansion don't turn upside down, it's better not to disturb the old lady. "

The Second Madam Shen frowned, and Aunt Wang continued to smile and said, "So, the maidservant didn't refute at all. Didn't the Second Madam say before that she should look at witnesses and physical evidence? Now that the Second Madam's testimony and physical evidence have been finished, Then, is it the turn of the servant's witness to bring out the slave's physical evidence?"
