Chapter 284: Mother's Heart
Min did not take the opportunity to untie the rope that bound Wang Wenshao, but squatted down, took out a brocade handkerchief and carefully wiped Wang Wenshao's face mixed with dirt and blood. Rubbing the wall one wall at a time, he said softly: "You are the youngest child of your mother, and you are smart and clever, human nature, I have been partial to you since I was a child, which has developed your stubborn temper of doing whatever you want today." In the past, no matter what you wanted, no matter what trouble you caused, your mother could protect you by you, but this time, your mother really couldn't protect you. Wipe Wang Wenshao's face clean, Min put away the handkerchief, and stroked Wang Wenshao's head with her well-maintained hand, just like when he was a child, "In the future, you have to learn to make trade-offs, and you can't do everything by your own temperament, and ......" Min's hand slowly moved from the top of Wang Wenshao's head to his chin, caressing his cheek, revealing a kind smile, but a string of tears rolled out of his eyes, as if he had exhausted all expectations, and said four words, "Live well!"
Immediately afterwards, Wang Wenshao saw the scene that made him live in a nightmare for the rest of his life! I saw his mother Min suddenly jump up, and at a speed that made people have no time to react, she crashed headlong into the offering table where the tablets of the ancestors of the Wang family were placed!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, and the "click" sound of hundreds of tablets falling, it was the blood splashed by the Min family, which stained not only the ground of this ancestral hall, but also Wang Wenshao's eyes.
He opened his mouth and stared blankly at the Min family who fell to the ground, and listened to Wang Jin, who rushed in from the door, holding the Min family and calling non-stop, "Madam!" His eyes were empty, and his mind was also blank, as if everything in heaven and earth had turned into nothingness, and even he himself was just a non-existent phantom!
It wasn't until the subordinates guarding outside the ancestral hall heard Wang Jin's call that a swarm of bees poured in and carried Min away with all hands and feet, that Wang Wenshao's last words to him suddenly sounded in Wang Wenshao's mind, "Live well!"
Wang Wenshao suddenly sobered up, and shouted very sadly, "Mother!" and then cried.
But no matter how sad he cried, no one paid attention to him, Wang Jin was all about rescuing his wife, and he couldn't think of settling accounts with Wang Wenshao for the time being, and the people all followed Wang Jin away, leaving a few mothers-in-law who guarded the ancestral hall, and no one dared to loosen Wang Wenshao's ties without Wang Jin's order, so he could only hide aside and quietly stare at his movements, lest he couldn't think about it for a while and did something drastic.
But no matter how much Wang Wenshao cried, Min couldn't hold on until the doctor entered the house for diagnosis and treatment. The Yueguo Mansion hung up white lanterns overnight, and the eldest daughter-in-law Yan temporarily took over the power of the inner courtyard, and methodically handled the funeral of her mother-in-law Min with several concubines.
Wang only found out the news when he was dressing up the next morning, and almost thought that he hadn't woken up, so he was stunned for a while, and asked Mama Qi several times, "Who did you say is gone?!, but really?!"
Mama Qi wiped her tears and said: "The old slave didn't believe it, but it was Cai Ping next to the eldest lady who came to report the news, she said that the eldest lady heard that the grandfather was going to break the young master's leg, and hurried to stop it, the two were in a stalemate in the ancestral hall, and finally the grandfather drove out the people who were waiting, and I don't know what the two said, and when the people who were waiting for them heard the movement and rushed into the ancestral hall, they saw that the eldest lady was full of blood and her eyes were not good!"
Listening to Mama Qi's description, Wang panicked in his heart, and secretly guessed, "Isn't it that the eldest brother and sister-in-law had a dispute over Shao'er, and the eldest brother moved his hand on the eldest sister-in-law in anger, and he died without light or heavy?!"
The more I thought about it, the more uncertain I became, so Wang simply ordered Caifeng to lead Cai Ping into the house, and she wanted to ask for clarification in person.
But after a cup of tea, Caifeng came back, followed by Cai Ping, who was dressed in plain clothes.
After Cai Ping finished saluting, Wang said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, why didn't your wife have it?!"
Cai Ping's red and swollen eyes repeated what Fang had just said to Mama Qi, but in more detail.
Wang frowned and pondered carefully, "So...... Did my sister-in-law touch the offering table?" she asked Cai Ping as she glanced at Mama Qi.
It's a pity that Mama Qi was still wiping her tears sadly there, and she didn't receive Wang's eyes, but she was smart, and she had the courage to ask something she didn't want to ask for Wang, "It's so common for husband and wife to quarrel, why can't the eldest lady think about it like this?"
Cai Ping is the big girl next to the Min family, and naturally she is not stupid, if she didn't hear Wang's off-string sound, then with the sentence Lingxi, Cai Ping will understand the real intention of the Wang family to ask her. There was a sour feeling in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her wife, and tears fell from her red and swollen eyes, which were a little crying, but she still had to reply in a choked voice: "The slave maid was outside the ancestral hall at the time, and I don't know what happened inside, but I heard Mama Chang, who went with me later, cry and said, ......."
"What do you say?!" Wang saw her grinding and chirping, as if she had some scruples, so he assured her: "Don't be afraid, no matter what you say, I will not blame you, just say it!"
Cai Ping got Wang's words before continuing: "Mama Chang said that Madam said that Madam was afraid that she would not be able to stop the master from punishing the seventh son, and in order to protect the seventh son, she touched the offering table!"
When Wang heard this, he first breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly rejoiced that it was not her eldest brother who had pushed him by mistake! Then he became sad for Min again, and sighed with tears: "Poor sister-in-law has a motherly heart!" Thinking of Li Jiayi's natural disability and inability to walk, if she could exchange her life for a pair of legs, she would also be willing! Thinking of this, she became more and more moved by Min, and the more she cried, the more sad she became.
The maids and servants who were waiting in the house, whether they were really sad or fake sad, accompanied the Wang family to tears. When Li Shuning came in to greet him, he was startled when he heard the crying of the whole house, and thought that something had happened to the Wang family! After a few steps into the house, he saw the Wang family sitting in front of the dressing table in a good manner, so he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help complaining: "Mother, what's the matter? Who is this for ......early in the morning?" She mixed in the barracks all day long, and the people she came into contact with were all rough men who came and went straight, and she had no scruples about talking because she was infected. I wanted to say "to whom", but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back, and replaced them with, "Why are you so sad?" Thinking to herself, her father is still staying well in Shouyue Zhai now, and I heard that he lost his temper yesterday and refused to eat, Yin's cried so much that he cried tears and snot, so he was persuaded to stop. For this, she also asked Mama Lin to reward Yin's jewelry with a few pieces, shouldn't it be her father who had something wrong?
