concubines are respected

Chapter 84 Confession
"Nonsense! Why are you leaving the master alone to serve me and staring at me so well, why don't you make a serious move!" Seeing Xia He's slip of the tongue, Suxian asked forcefully, not giving her any room to breathe.

"Slave... Slave..." Xia He was sweating profusely, his face turning blue and white, apparently he had completely lost his mind.

The old matriarch is such a shrewd person, Suxian is so pressing, she naturally knows that he did it on purpose, so that she was caught off guard, and Xia He obviously slipped her mouth, it seems that what happened that night has nothing to do with Xia He There is a great relationship.

"Hurry up! Who made you stare at Qian'er? Since you have been staring at Qian'er, you must have seen her falling into the water and drowning. Why didn't you call for help in time? What are your plans for staring at her?" The old matriarch's body was very cold, and his tone became more and more cold.

At this moment, Xia He was completely paralyzed on the ground, her body was trembling, her lips were puckered, but she didn't make a sound. It seemed that she really didn't have the courage to tell the truth.

Suxian took the words and said coldly, "Old Madam, don't you understand? Xia He was ordered to stare at me because she wanted to see Aunt Xueying and I drown with his own eyes so that he could go back to the person who ordered her Come back."

"Is that so, you bitch, say, are you planning such a vicious idea? Who is it? Who ordered you?" The old lady was terrified when she heard this, and pointed at Xia He and shouted, Because of excitement, his body trembled slightly.

At this point, Xia He knew that he was powerless, so she lay down on the ground and began to cry loudly, "Madam, please spare this servant, this servant is only following orders, and this servant did not harm the second lady!"

"Order? Whose order? Tell me!" the old lady yelled bitterly, but her heart was already in her throat. If she was really ordered by the third aunt, it would be difficult to protect her.

"Yes, it's the servant ordered by the third lady." Xia He replied with sobs, then knelt and crawled to the old lady's side, and said in a sad voice, "The servant is ordered by the third lady to watch the second lady drown, and if she dies, go back and return to order If the second lady comes out of the water, call someone to say that she caused Aunt Xueying to fall into the water, so as to convict the second lady. The other servants will know nothing, old lady, please spare the life of the servant , old lady..."

When the old lady heard that Xia He was ordered to hide and stare at Suxian drowned and died, her teeth itched with hatred, "It's Luer, how could it be her, how did she become so vicious that she even killed her own sister!"

"Did the third aunt ever participate in this matter?" Suxian asked in a deep voice.

The old lady stared straight at Xia He, waiting for her to reply. This is what the old lady is most concerned about. After all, the third aunt is also a daughter of her natal family. Seeing that her grandson Shujian Lin is not well received by others, her old face can be regarded as completely humiliated.Lin Yinglu was different. At best, she was just a concubine who married out of the family. If the water splashed by the daughter out of the family was damaged, it would be damaged.

"The third aunt doesn't know about this. The third lady said that the third aunt is cowardly. If she tells her, something bad may happen, and the slaves must hide it from the third aunt..." Xia He replied in earnest, never daring again. Hide nothing.

Hearing this, the old lady raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief. If so, Third Aunt is safe.But Lin Yinglu's side, I'm afraid the old lady won't let her go so easily.

"I understand. The third girl's husband's family, Mr. Wu, is a disciple of the uncle of the country. Naturally, Mr. Wu has something to do with the queen. In this way, the uncle of the country must have ordered the third girl to use the opportunity of returning to her mother's house to get rid of Xueying and let Yuan The imperial concubine suffers from being dumb in her natal family's house. As for Xian'er..." The old matriarch took a deep look at Suxian, "As for why Qian'er was involved, it seems to be some misunderstanding between your own sisters."

The old matriarch has lived a long time, how can she not understand the intrigue and dirty things between the sisters-in-law and the concubine's sisters in the wealthy Wang's house.Suxian was promoted from a concubine to a concubine, and now she has the opportunity to enter the palace to be selected as a concubine, but Lin Yinglu married a half-old Mr. Wu as a concubine, and they were both sisters. It is not impossible for Shenghen to serve the Queen while half selling and half giving Tui Suxian to relieve the resentment in his heart.

Hearing this, Suxian said in a depressed tone, "The third sister has never been friendly with Qian'er since she was a child, and Qian'er knows it very well in her heart. For a long time, Xian'er thought that there would not be much enmity between her sisters, and she also I didn't think too deeply about it. Then the third sister married into the Wu Mansion, and Qian'er and the third sister lived in separate lands, and the chances of seeing each other were much less. I thought the past grievances would be wiped out. Unexpectedly, the third sister hated me so much, She actually wanted to put me to death, maybe Qian'er had done something bad in the past, that's why she made the third sister make a big mistake..."

"Xian'er don't underestimate yourself. It's clear that the third girl doesn't have a brain, doesn't know how to distinguish between the enemy and us, and she cooperates with outsiders to harm her family. It has nothing to do with you. Presumably she is not favored in Lin's mansion. Although she went to Wu's mansion as a concubine , but the advantage is that she is young, Master Wu treated her well, and she turned her gun just now, and she was confused!" The old lady said bitterly.

The old lady at the side became more and more angry. The concubine of the side branch was so unbelievable. Although the old matriarch of the family did not reprimand on the surface, it was inevitable that there would be no complaints in his heart. If he did not express his position, how should he explain to the old matriarch, " This girl is eating and crawling, I will not spare her!"

Suxian reminded softly, "Grandmother, the third sister is not from the Lin family anymore. Even if she has married into the Wu family, she will naturally be protected by Mrs. Wu. Besides, there are uncles and empresses behind this matter. I think you are She can't be punished. Even if Xia He comes forward to testify, people will only say that this slave is our slave in the forest. Naturally, no matter what we teach or what she says, there is no real evidence, and it will not hurt the other party in the end. Now this matter It is no longer as simple as the grievance between the third sister and Xian'er, but a major event between the Wu family and even the uncle, the queen, and the noble concubine Yuan. When there is no real evidence, it is absolutely impossible to act rashly."

Every word Suxian said made sense, and the old lady thought again and again, and she was a little frustrated and stopped talking.

The old matriarch also nodded repeatedly, "Now on the surface, it seems that the whole matter has been cleared up, but everything is just what our family said, and there is really no real evidence in hand to incriminate."

Speaking of this, the old lady suddenly remembered something, raised her head and said to Xia He, "Do you have any left over from the medicine you gave Xueying that day?"

"Prescribed medicine? What kind of medicine was given? The servant doesn't know. The servant did not prescribe the medicine to Aunt Xueying. The servant just followed the order of the third lady to keep an eye on the second lady. I really don't know anything about the rest..." Xia He, who was paralyzed by the side He shook his head hastily while crying, his eyes were blank.

The old lady and the old lady looked at each other, and said to herself, it seems that Xia He really didn't know about the water illusion.

"Come on, tie her to the woodshed, and leave her behind." The old lady raised her voice.Outside the door, Yun Rong led two strong women, one on the left and one on the right, holding Xia He's arms, and dragged them out of the room.

"Old madam... please spare your servant, old madam..." The old madam turned her head coldly until Xia He's voice disappeared outside the door.

"Old sister-in-law, look at these three girls..."

Now that Lin Yinglu has married into the Wu Mansion, even if the old lady wants to dispose of her, she can't go to the Wu Mansion to get her.But if you don't deal with this unworthy girl, let alone the old matriarch, even the old lady herself can't swallow this breath.After thinking about it, I had to see if the old lady had a way to have both.

"I have a way to deal with her. Isn't she relying on the protection of her husband's family to act so boldly! Hmph, now that the Wu Mansion is on the verge of collapse, I just need to let Haoer and Zhonger move their fingers casually, and bring down the Wu Mansion." It’s a big tree, I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of her!” The old matriarch suddenly smiled when he thought of the fact that Lin Yinglu’s mother and daughter came to ask for each other in person today.

Things have progressed to this point, and Suxian's goal has been achieved.The big fish in An Nanhou's hand was about to surface, if the old matriarch made another move, it would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Although Suxian thought so, she deliberately showed a puzzled look.

After the old matriarch finished speaking, seeing Suxian's eyes full of puzzlement, she smiled and said, "Forget it, Qian'er, go back and rest. As long as you know what's going on today, it's good for you to be clear about what happened to you that day. , I will make the decision for you. As for the third girl, the laws of nature are boundless, and karma is retribution, so I can't blame others!"

Su Xian retreated respectfully.

Xia He disappeared suddenly, and before Third Aunt could find her, she was sent to the room by the old lady to speak.I don't know what the old lady said to the third aunt, but afterward, the third aunt didn't pursue it anymore, as if she had never been around this person before.Moreover, in the days that followed, Third Auntie rarely stepped out of the room, thinking that she was beaten by the old lady for a long time, she did not dare to make any more moves.It was almost impossible to protect herself, so how could she dare to ask Lin Yinglu's side.

Many days later, news came from the court that Mr. Wu was dismissed from his official position by the emperor and thrown into prison because he privately encircled the fields and oppressed the villagers.The property of the Wu family was confiscated, the servants were scattered, Ruo Da's mansion was vacant, Mrs. Wu returned to her mother's house in Jiangzhou, Lin Yinglu went back to the mansion several times to beg, but the old lady had already ordered the concierge not to let her into the mansion.After Lin Yinglu came several times, there was no news.

The third aunt seldom showed up, and she occasionally met in the yard by chance, and she didn't have the arrogant and domineering expression of the past. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked haggard. .But because the matter is so important, they are really unable to help.

Yi Yue Xuan

"My servant listened to Jinse from Lord Hou's mansion that Mr. Wu is only a mere fourth-rank official. How could he have the guts to privately enclose the private land? In fact, these things were all good things done by the uncle of the country from the beginning to the end. But now the emperor is investigating It's really tight, there is really no other way, so we have to push Mr. Wu to take the blame. After all, Mr. Wu is just an abandoned son of the uncle of the country." Yanzi returned from the Hou's mansion to inquire about the news, and whispered to Suxian.

"I've also heard these days that officials from all over the country have privately encircled private land, making the people miserable. The emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation into this matter, and vowed to find out the people behind the scenes." Su Xian said in a low voice. She has never been interested in government affairs, and she has heard some of these news from the conversations of her uncles and cousins.

"Yes, I also heard that my second son-in-law was imprisoned, and it seems to be related to the land enclosure..." Yanzi continued.

"Zijuan's father? In this way, Guo's family is also a member of Uncle Guo's family. Unexpectedly, Uncle Guo's hand is quite long, even reaching the boundary of Wuzhou..."

The master and the servant were chatting casually, and Xiangcao hurried in, "Second miss, this servant just went to the front yard to collect the order, and heard the young man who came back from a business trip say that he saw the third miss. Suffering from hysteria, dressed in shabby clothes, wandering in the street madly alone, constantly muttering, 'It's all because Mother Wang asked her to take medicine, otherwise she wouldn't be so miserable...'"
