Chapter 155
β¦β¦
"Everyone listens to me, the Qinghe Cui family is upright, and our Cui family is upright, not afraid of slander. It's just that not being afraid of slander doesn't mean that we have to endure this baseless slander, but we will not tolerate anyone who has smeared the Cui family. β
Originally, the onlookers didn't know that the Cui family that Mrs. Chen was accusing was the Qinghe Cui family, but when they learned Cui Jiayin's identity, they recalled what Shen Siru had said - then Cui Gongzi is better looking than her, how can he look at her?
I thought it was just a humiliating remark, but now it seems to be the right thing to do.
Old Madam Chen and He Lingxiang were smashed with a lot of green vegetable leaves, and she uncovered the green vegetable stalks in front of her, and the crowd was furious, and the offensive became more and more fierce.
Old Madam Chen's heart was cold.
He Lingxiang whispered on the side: "Auntie, have you forgotten what the girl said that day? Cousin's life honor and disgrace are tied to you alone!"
He Lingxiang is really the person who knows Mrs. Chen's mind the most, and knows where her weakness is.
Old Madam Chen remembered the girl who came to Chen's Mansion that day.
She wore a hood and couldn't see her face clearly.
Chen's mansion was a mess at that time, and all the slightly valuable things in the family were taken to the pawnshop by the officials to exchange for silver and returned to Wei Yuanniang, which looked like a robber in the house, very dilapidated.
Chen Lin is sick and can't stop taking medicine, and He Lingxiang is pregnant with the only blood and bone of the Chen family, so he has to take care of it. Chen Jiayuan ran out of silver, which made life even more difficult. As the most valuable person in the Chen family, Mrs. Chen couldn't eat a full meal a day.
The girl only said one sentence, if Mrs. Chen can ruin the reputation of the Cui family or Cui Jiayin, she will let Chen Lin be cured and reward him with a five-grade official body.
Rao is girl's promise was full of temptation to Mrs. Chen, and she still had a sense of vigilance.
The girl showed a jade plaque with a word engraved on it, and some patterns on the side.
Mrs. Chen didn't know a few big characters, so how could she recognize what the words were? She didn't know the characters, but she recognized the patterns engraved on the side of the jade plaque.
It's a phoenix engraved on it!
The phoenix is a pattern that can only be used by nobles!
"Now that the Chen Mansion has ended up like this, don't you want to take revenge? If this thing is done, the Lin family will never treat you badly. Likewise, you will not be unjustified by your son. The girl's voice was soft and cold, but her words were so demagogic.
Old Madam Chen almost did not hesitate to agree, as if she was afraid that the girl would regret it.
But now......
Old Madam Chen wished that she had never promised this!
She bent down respectfully at Cui Jiayin, although she was already old, she paid attention to maintenance, but her figure still looked rickety.
She said to Cui Jiayin in a hoarse voice: "It was all the old woman's fault in the past, I didn't know how to bump into the nobleman, and I listened to the slander and mistreated the Yuan Niang...... Now I only hope that the girl will not care about the fall of my Chen family and the illness of my son. β
He Lingxiang obviously didn't expect Old Madam Chen to act like this, and she was stunned for a moment and couldn't react.
The people around obviously didn't eat Mrs. Chen's set. If this is the case for abusing a daughter-in-law and wronging others, how can a simple and serious apology be enough? If this is the case, what is the use of this royal law? This old woman is really too naΓ―ve.
He Lingxiang was very anxious, her wealth and glory were about to arrive, where could she allow Old Madam Chen to destroy it?
She couldn't take much care of it, so she helped Mrs. Chen up and asked, "Auntie, why are you so afraid of her? Can you decide everything by knowing your background? I was born poor, so I must grovel to her, and I can't even ask for justice for myself?"
Old Madam Chen didn't know where she came from, and before she finished speaking, she pushed her away fiercely, while scolding: "You mourning star, stay away from me!"
Old Madam Chen caught a glimpse of He Lingxiang's disbelieving eyes, frowned fiercely, and said with a look of disgust: "What kind of eyes are you?! You didn't want to marry a farmer in the countryside that day, and you ran away overnight to go to Chen's mansion, I took you in for the sake of my relatives!"
"I have good food and clothing on weekdays, and I have never treated you badly!But what about you?!" Mrs. Chen pointed at He Lingxiang tremblingly, and said excitedly: "You shameless little hooves, you dare to seduce my son! Climbed my son's bed, instigated my son and daughter-in-law to discord, and now I still want to use my son's seed to harm others!"
"He Lingxiang, He Lingxiang, you touch your conscience and ask, don't you feel sorry for doing this?"
He Lingxiang was shocked by Mrs. Chen's words and took two or three steps back, but unfortunately she stepped on the vegetable leaves on the ground and slipped to the ground all of a sudden. She clutched her stomach, dripping in cold sweat, and couldn't speak in pain.
She felt the blood spilling over her clothes, and she reached out and touched it tremblingly, and when she raised her hand, it was really a dazzling red.
She burst into tears.
Old Madam Chen couldn't bear to turn her head, she scolded He Lingxiang, and she would never reach out to help at this moment. She acted like that just now in order to ask for Cui Jiayin's forgiveness, if she can dissipate her anger and not implicate the Chen family, it is to let He Lingxiang die immediately, and she will not hesitate for a moment.
But what she was pregnant with in her belly was, after all, her son's seed, and seeing that it was gone, Mrs. Chen's mood at the moment was not much better.
Cui Jiayin didn't want to change the situation that was difficult to turn around back to the way it was before because of this incident, thinking that saving people's lives was better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and the adult's fault was not as good as that of a child, so he mercifully let Mrs. Chen and He Lingxiang go.
She looked at He Lingxiang, whose face was pale, condescendingly, and said coldly: "You have nothing to do with the Cui family, and you have nothing to do with my brother.
"Old Madam Chen," Cui Jiayin looked at Old Madam Chen with a smile, and said, "Yuan Niang is not the Chen family now, you must not look for other people's bad luck again!"
How dare Mrs. Chen say no, she secretly hated Wei Yuanniang in her heart for leaning on the big tree silently, but she still had a kind smile on her face, nodded busily, and said, "The old woman knows." Then he made amends with Wei Yuanniang: "Yuanniang, I was confused in the past...... For the sake of my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, please spare me. β
Shen Siru snorted coldly, and as soon as she spoke, Old Madam Chen trembled three times in fright.
"People like you hate it when you look at it, and you don't have any interest. Shen Siru said unhappily: "That woman is pregnant with your son's child, now you should also find a doctor to take a good look at her!"
At the end, he glanced at Old Madam Chen with disdain, and said mockingly: "I have never seen a person like you who is a mother and a grandmother!"
