Chapter 556: Loyalty
Minglan didn't know much about Cheng's mother, and after suspecting that she had two hearts, he was afraid of startling the snake, so he didn't ask more.
Now it seems that Cheng's mother should have married into the general's mansion with Mrs. Chu in the early years, which is also in line with what she said about growing up eating Zhao family food, her master is Mrs. Chu, and she gave her to the princess, she should be loyal to the princess, I didn't expect her to be so loyal to the Zhao family in her bones.
The princess's eyes are red, the most painful thing in this world is to be betrayed by the most trusted and loved person, so that Cheng's mother can take full charge of the palace, what a trust, Cheng's mother wants to do something, the princess can't wash it even if she jumps into the Yellow River, she can only be glad that the Zhao family has a big heart, they are staring at the throne, not leaving the palace.
Now listening to Cheng's mother's argument, the princess looked at her and asked calmly, "You told me that you also have a younger brother who died when you were twelve years old, is he in the Zhao family now?"
Cheng's mother looked at the princess, tears flowed, probably moved, the princess has a noble status, wants to quarrel with the princess, misses her daughter, worries about her son, but still keeps the family affairs of a slave in mind, she told the princess for more than 20 years, she has forgotten, the princess still remembers.
Cheng's mother had a little hope in her heart, the princess was brought up by her, there was no merit and hard work, the Zhao family threatened her with the life of her younger brother's family, she couldn't sit idly by, she didn't mean to leak secrets, and she didn't hurt the princess because of leaks......
Cheng's mother's gloomy eyes regained a few rays of light, and when the princess saw it, her face became more bland and colder, and her tone was indifferent and detached, "Why don't you tell me, I can take them into the palace to reunite with your family." ”
Cheng's mother knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, "Princess, how ruthless the Zhao family is, you know better than anyone else, how dare I ......." ”
Before she finished speaking, Chu Li, who was drinking tea on the side, smiled, "Mother Cheng didn't grow up eating Zhao family food, is it the Zhao family?"
Minglan smiled unkindly and said seriously, "Probably Mother Cheng remembered that she ate the princess's meal for a longer time." ”
First said that she was loyal to the Zhao family and had never betrayed her, and now the princess asked her if she had any hardships, and gave her some hope, so that she felt that the princess was soft-hearted, thinking of her old feelings, maybe she would open the net, what Zhao family, what younger brother, how can it be more important to live your own life?
But the more she is like this, the more she disappoints and hurts the princess, since she knows how ruthless the Zhao family is, and how the Zhao family treats her, but she still chooses to help the Zhao family, she has only treated the princess with hypocrisy for so many years, and has never believed her, just like the Zhao family.
She held a secret as big as the Zhao family in her hands, and was forced to swear a poisonous oath, is it difficult for her to ask for one or two maids?
Her trust, in the end, was nothing more than a joke.
The princess didn't want to look at Cheng's mother any more, and looked at Chu Lidao, "What has she done for so many years that I don't know?"
Chu Li shook his head, "Mother Cheng is the person trusted by the concubine, and I have never doubted him, Minglan has not had much contact with her, so I can see her disagreement and wrongness, when Minglan was pregnant, the old princess was drugged, and Queen Zhao asked the imperial doctor to take the pulse, it should be all her secrets, Minglan's poisonous inviolation, if it wasn't noticed in time, it would have been transmitted back to the Zhao family long ago." ”
After Chu Li finished speaking, Minglan received a look that was eager to peel her skin and cramp off her bones, Minglan smiled and said, "Mother Chen doesn't have much time with me, and she doesn't know much about me, Mother Cheng can't ask anything from her side, originally I dispelled my suspicions about you, but you disobeyed my mother's words, teach me to be a housekeeper, teach half and keep half, Mother Chen didn't notice it, but I knew it." ”
Cheng's mother's face turned pale, "You, will you be a housekeeper?!"
Minglan chuckled, "I know that the third wife is eyeing the housekeeper Quan, if I really can't, dare to drag it out day by day?"
Cheng's mother has always felt that Minglan doesn't like housekeepers, she is afraid of housekeepers, and if she doesn't learn housekeepers, she will stay in the palace to help her, but she never thought that she didn't want her to leave the palace, afraid that she would contact the Zhao family......
Those things that I didn't understand before, Cheng's mother also suddenly realized, she broke her foot twice, and even used the medicine given by the emperor for a long time, didn't she stop her from leaving the house, or contact with the Zhao family?!
She lives right under their noses!
Cheng's mother laughed miserably, she had been cautious in her words and deeds for so many years, but she didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of the third wife and Minglan, she was unwilling.
The third wife had already discovered her dissent, and knew that the princess wanted her to teach Minglan to discipline, let her teach sloppily, and when she turned around and Minglan took over the palace feed, if she didn't handle it well, the old princess could ask her to hand over the housekeeping on the grounds that her housekeeper was unfavorable.
Cheng's mother was controlled by others, so she could only teach half and keep half, but she didn't expect that her small movements would be seen in her eyes and she became suspicious.
Cheng's mother cursed the third wife half to death in her heart, but her eyes looked at the princess.
She didn't want to die.
She hasn't done anything hurtful.
The princess withdrew her eyes and got up to leave.
didn't say to deal with her, let alone let her go, but Cheng's mother was like ashes, kneeling and throwing herself at the princess's feet, begging the princess to forgive her, and when she said before that she was the Zhao family and did not betray, it was even more contemptible.
She hugged the princess's feet and didn't let go, in this room, only the princess had the softest heart, and taught her to the princess and the princess to deal with, she only had a dead end.
Chu Li waved his hand, and Chu Feng went over to pull Cheng's mother away and carried her out of the yard directly.
Soon, the sound of the board came, and Cheng's mother's mouth was not blocked, and the sound of the board was mixed with screams, and the listeners felt chills down their backs.
The maids and mothers-in-law inside and outside the yard all came around, whispering, wondering what Cheng's mother had done and how she could be beaten so badly.
In less than half an hour, Chu Feng entered the house and said, "Master, Cheng's mother has been beaten to death." ”
"Buried. ”
Zhao family, in front of Zhao Yan's bed, Mrs. Zhao overflowed with shock, "You mean that Cheng's mother was escorted back to Chu's house?"
The maid stood in front of her, nodded lightly, and said, "The slave has confirmed, it is Cheng's mother, the person who held her acted roughly, and not long after Cheng's mother entered, the two little maids at the back door carried a bamboo mat and threw it into the carriage ......." ”
The little girl didn't dare to approach, so he wasn't sure if it was Cheng's mother wrapped in the bamboo mat, but when the carriage passed by, he could smell a heavy smell of blood.
Mrs. Zhao panicked and said, "Check it out for me!"
The maid nodded, and hurried down.
An hour and a half later, the maid came back again, and said with a heavy face, "Madam, Steward Cheng went to see it, it's Mother Cheng'...... right." ”
At that time, Mrs. Zhao was still holding a teacup in her hand, and the maid said that Cheng's mother was killed by a live cane, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a snap and fell apart.
