Chapter 42: Innocence
Seeing that Aunt Xia's slap was about to fall, Shen Moyun just wanted to dodge it, but she didn't want someone to block in front of her first, and grabbed Xia Hongsu's hand.
"Aunt Xia is in a hurry, the matter has not been clarified, and the old lady has not spoken, so many elders are here, you aunt still don't be impulsive and embarrassed!" It turned out that it was the eldest aunt and grandmother Shen Ling who stood in front of her.
Shen Ling has a plump and sturdy figure, and it is easy to deal with Aunt Xia, who is a "little bird".
Xia Hongxi's eyebrows frowned, she didn't expect when this Shen Ling's shrewd and calculating, mercenary aunt would start to like dogs and mice.
But this sentence, whether it is light or not, whether it is heavy or not, directly points out her humble status as a concubine.
Yes, this matter is light, it is the love of the daughter, and if it is serious, it is a great disrespect to the elders!
Aunt Xia glanced at the old lady in a sneering manner, obviously the Lu family was also extremely disgusted by her just action, and there was a little more disgust and dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Shen Ling glanced at Shen Moyun, smiled suggestively, and turned his head to look at Aunt Xia again: "What's more, Yun'er is the eldest lady of my Shen family, no matter what the ins and outs of this matter are? After saying this, Shen Ling shook off Aunt Xia's hand and stood back behind the old lady with a swagger.
Of course, Shen Moyun understood Shen Ling's meaningful smile, she clearly remembered that this aunt was a profitless person, and now she actually helped her speak, this was to remind her to repay her kindness!
Shen Moyun smiled and gently bowed his head to Shen Ling to show the deal.
At this time, the old lady ordered to pour two bowls of hot ginger soup for Shen Moqing, and seeing that her face softened slightly, she ordered a few mothers-in-law to take the second girl down.
No, before the mother-in-law's hand touched Shen Moqing, she turned over from the maid's arms with all her strength and prostrated in front of the old lady: "Grandma, grandmother...... Qing'er doesn't go back, Qing'er has something to say!"
The old lady's face couldn't help but sink and sank, what a confused thing!
Today, so many elders and noblewomen were present, but these two granddaughters ignored the face of the Shen family, and she was already very unhappy when she made such a fuss. Now she is bent on suppressing this matter, but Shen Moqing refuses to go back, making it clear that she is preparing to bite her eldest sister.
"Okay! Your body is like this, and you still stay in this tuyere to do anything, it's not worth it if your condition gets worse for a while!"
The old lady is reminding her that if she blindly wants to be stronger, if she uses too much force, the gains will outweigh the losses!
I don't know if Shen Moqing didn't understand or pretended to be confused, but instead prostrated and kowtowed to the old lady again and again: "Grandmother is the grandson, granddaughter is in charge, cough cough, granddaughter can't just go back without knowing nothing, and ask grandmother to do it! cough cough ......" She had just choked on several mouthfuls of water, and when she was in a hurry, she began to cough violently......
Wang Yuting, who was supporting Shen Moqing, also noticed the old lady's psychology, so she looked up at her mother, Mrs. Wang, Xia Hongling, in the crowd for help.
Mrs. Wang naturally understood, "Old lady, looking at the pitiful girl Qing, she must have been greatly wronged, seeing her like this, if she goes back like this, she must be unwilling, why don't you listen to what she has to say?"
It is a woman's nature to love to talk about the shortcomings of parents, and the secret history of the house. Who wants to be disappointed again?
For a while, many ladies responded to Mrs. Wang and persuaded the old lady to listen to what the second girl had to say.
Lu sighed helplessly, it seemed that it was inevitable that he would be embarrassed today. She could only send someone to invite the doctor first, and then send someone to bring several stoves over, forget it, she could only take one step at a time.
"Qing'er, you're not in good health, so let's make a long story short!" the old lady gambled at last, hoping that the stupid granddaughter would understand what she meant.
"Qing'er is scared, but I have to say this today!" At this time, Shen Moqing's body was tightly wrapped, a few bowls of hot ginger soup were in her stomach, and there was a stove around her, and her face turned slightly red, obviously improving.
"I, I accidentally annoyed the eldest sister today, so I wanted to make amends to her, but, no matter how I explained, the eldest sister ignored me and just walked in front by herself......" Several young ladies in the crowd couldn't help nodding in agreement, this is what they all saw.
Then, when she came to the pond, the eldest sister said that she was better off dead than if she fell into the water that day, and that she would ...... I wanted to taste it too, so the eldest sister took me...... Pushed it down......"
Hearing this, what else did everyone not understand, it was just a drama of the sisters fighting each other, it was nothing more than that the concubine suffered a loss, and wanted to get it back on the concubine's body, and in the moment of impulse, he made a ruthless move...... This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Gaomen Mansion, and the ladies have long seen it.
"But, I didn't know that my sister hated me so much, and she ,...... Ahem...... They threw me into the water, and they didn't let me breathe, trying to drown me alive...... Grandmother is wise, Qing'er choked a lot of saliva and almost died, if it wasn't for grandmother coming in time, only, I'm afraid...... Sister, she wants my life wholeheartedly!
Aunt Xia probably didn't know Shen Moqing's plan today, but now seeing her daughter looking so miserable, she couldn't help but be very worried, and then regardless of her demeanor, she only begged the Lu family to punish Shen Moyun severely with tears.
If pushing my sister into the water is just a petty quarrel between sisters, then the nature of this moment is to mutilate compatriots and deliberately murder.
The ladies who had just felt a little bored also widened their eyes and pricked up their ears in disbelief. Who would have thought that Miss Shen, who was the envy of everyone an hour ago, would become a ruthless attempted murderer in the blink of an eye?
Shen Moyun glanced at everyone, but saw Guo Jia sitting alone in the pavilion not far away.
She was looking at this place with relish at this time, and she was still holding a bag of snacks in her hand and chewing slowly. Noticing Shen Moyun's gaze, she even raised the messe in her hand and waved it, and put it in her mouth with a smile......
Shen Moyun couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, this Guo Jia didn't know to care about herself, looking at her posture, did she have so much confidence in herself?
In Shen Moqing's coughing sound one after another, the old lady's majestic voice came:
"Yun'er, now Qing'er accuses you of deliberately pushing her into the water and deliberately trying to kill her, do you admit it?"
Shen Moyun glanced at everyone, is it her turn to appear now?
"Grandmother, Yun'er's heart is frank, so she naturally doesn't recognize it!"
At this time, several of Shen Moqing's maids immediately knelt down in front of the Lu family in a "timely manner".
"Old lady, we can testify that the second lady was pushed into the pond by the eldest lady. ”
Aunt Xia couldn't hold back anymore at this time, "Shen Moyun, you femme fatale-hearted poisonous woman!
"Well! I can't imagine that the second sister still has a witness? It's really ridiculous! I swore to heaven and earth: I will never push the second sister into the water today, nor do I intend to harm her life! If I say a lie, I will be told to die with five thunders!"
"Joke! Miss Shen, do you think that you can stop the mouth of the people and avoid punishment by casually swearing a poisonous oath? Then you are too whimsical!" That Wang Yuting deserves to be Shen Moqing's good cousin, and she came out to speak for her as soon as possible.
"Of course not!" Shen Moyun glanced around at everyone, untied the shawl on his body and put it in the hands of Miss Huang in front of everyone.
Everyone was wondering what this meant, but they saw Shen Moyun turn around and step on the rocky mouth of the pond, then turned his head and left everyone with a smile, and said quietly: "I know that I don't have any physical evidence, and it's useless to say anything, so ...... I'll have to prove my innocence!"
As she spoke, she left a beautiful back, and jumped straight into the water in the astonishment and exclamation of everyone......
