216, Master Fang was poisoned
"You call the second child, and I want him to make a note. Master Fang remembered what Aunt Mei had done that the Chen family had told him again, he had never believed it before. Because he has the ability to control the whole situation.
But now, you can't help but believe it. He was afraid that in case, as long as there was a mistake, his two sons-in-law would be lonely and miserable in the back half of their bodies, and the evening would be bleak.
He doesn't dare to take any risks, he has to be safe, he has to be safe, he has to be safe, he has to be foolproof.
Even if Chen said that it was only possible, he could not allow such a situation to happen.
"What kind of note?" asked Aunt Mei leaning over.
"Establish a note that the family business belongs to the boss, and if the boss dies early, it will go to the third. If the third child is gone, it will be disposed of by the lady. Or divide it equally among several uncles and brothers. Master Fang said.
It was the best he could think of.
"What do you mean is that the family business cannot be left to the second child, but the responsibility of taking care of the family is on the second child?" Aunt Mei asked and was angry: "Don't you think this is too unfair?"
"Fair? His eldest brother is sick...... By, the third ...... Three are not successful, do not count on ...... Who is he counting on......? Looking at ...... Watching the decline of the Fang family?" Master Fang stumbled and said slowly, with a look of anticipation: "If he studies hard, gets the top three in the examination, and has an official position, when the time comes, I will take care of the family, and I will go with confidence." It is...... cough cough cough ...... I don't know if I'll ever see this day...... Ahem, ahem. ”
Aunt Mei frowned, bit the corner of her lip, and said softly after half a sound: "Since you have made up your mind, then I will no longer object." The Fang family is your Fang family in the end. You have a good rest first, and when the second child comes back in the evening, I will send someone to call the second child. ”
"No, go now, go now. Master Fang rested for a while, and then came to his senses again, urging loudly.
Aunt Mei saw that he couldn't wait, as if Fang Qirui would immediately embezzle the family property a moment later, and she was extremely disheartened, so she only went out to rest first.
When he arrived at the door, Chen sat leisurely outside drinking tea, looked at Aunt Mei and sneered: "If I hadn't reminded the master in time, I would have almost been planted in the hands of your mother and son." ”
Aunt Mei had already guessed that the Chen family played a role in the middle, and what she said made Master Fang suspicious.
Or, Master Fang was originally not at ease with Fang Qirui, and when Chen said it, he was even more uneasy.
The purpose of the two of them is really the same. Interests are related, and weal and woe are shared.
"You live with caution in the belly of a gentleman. Aunt Mei said angrily.
"Villain, gentleman?" Chen laughed: "Haha, it's funny." It is very common for a concubine to covet family property. But it's boring if you don't admit it. The old man has repeatedly stated that he will not give his family property to the second child, and the second child can be willing? He is a normal person, not one of those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are willing to give kindness and great compassion......
"It's all your words......" Aunt Mei gritted her teeth for the first time, looking at Chen with hatred.
"You're wrong. I have been married to my lord for 20 years, and I know best what he thinks. I'm just turning what he thinks into reality. There was no need to make anything up at all, it was all facts, it was what he wanted to do. Chan was proud.
Aunt Mei had known for a long time, but she was still uncomfortable when she heard this, clutching her chest, it was very painful, but her mouth was not to be outdone: "Do you think I don't know the master? The master has ...... me all these years."
"Yes, the master is good to you, but you are from a Qinglou. Although it used to be the lady of a big family, it was also before, and now you are the daughter of a criminal minister, and you are the one who destroyed the family. "The Chen family has not put on the majesty of being the housewife for a long time, and now it is recopied, and it is still a little rusty, and it is not as familiar as before.
She still tried her best to put on a fair appearance: "Now, it's time for you to wake up from your dream." ”
Aunt Mei was puzzled, when she saw Chen take out a contract from her arms, the red seal on it was most familiar to her, and she was stunned for a while, before she trembled and pointed to the contract in disbelief: "That...... What's that?"
"You really don't know?" Chen pursed his lips and laughed, he had been fighting with Aunt Mei for most of his life, but this moment was the most enjoyable.
She raised the contract in her hand, and was about to open her mouth to read it, but Aunt Mei was already covering her ears and unwilling to listen: "Don't read it!"
"I don't know it. Chen put away the contract with a smile: "You can take care of the master, if you don't comply, I will sell you back." She looked Aunt Mei up and down: "Although the are half-old, the charm still exists." ”
After speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and he was most proud of half his life.
Aunt Mei shivered coldly, she never dreamed that Master Fang kept saying that her deed of sale had been torn in front of the old bustard when he kept saying that he was redeeming, but he had hidden it for more than 20 years in private, and now he gave it to the Chen family to pinch her.
Twenty years of husband and wife relationship, once she became suspicious, she was not allowed to be free for a moment.
Aunt Mei threw herself on the ground with tears rippling down, and it took half an hour to cry before she felt some strength to get up.
The maid waiting inside came over: "Auntie, the master pulled it again, and shouted for you to go in and clean it up." ”
In order to calm Master Fang's heart before, she did all of this herself, and Master Fang took it for granted.
Aunt Mei secretly hated herself for being deceived for half her life. How could she forget that even if Master Fang liked her again, he was also a businessman, and businessmen valued profit over affection, and the ancients had already known it.
Aunt Mei cleaned up Master Fang and went out with her nose covered. Since she saw the deed of sale, her love for the other party has come to an end, and there is no more star.
The Chen family took out the deed of sale and shocked Aunt Mei, so he ordered the order to go down and let the uncles come over early tomorrow morning to talk and decide the way out of the Fang family.
It is said that the second master will rush back tomorrow to preside over the overall situation, he is a descendant of the Fang family, and now that the eldest brother is seriously ill, it is naturally arranged by him.
This is also the meaning of Chen's gathering of people in advance. Master Fang's meaning was clear to her, the two sisters-in-law were unusable, so let Fang Qirui take the top and take the shop out. Waiting for Fang Qirui to become an official, and then using the silver to support the family, this is the best way out.
Chan doesn't think so. His two sons haven't died yet, so why can't they inherit the family business? With such a large sum of money in Fang Qirui's hands, she was not at ease.
Or, sell the shop and split up, the silver belongs to her two sisters-in-law, and Fang Qirui leaves the house.
Or, not to sell the shop, run by her and her sons. If Fang Qirui is not an official, give him a bite to eat. If you become an official, it doesn't matter at all.
It's just that the people in the Manfu are still listening to Aunt Mei now, and they came over to ask for instructions after being assigned.
Aunt Mei didn't dare to stop it, she knew that the Chen family was desperate now, and all the chips were on the deed of sale, and she might really sell it to her if she was in a hurry.
But she didn't know Chen's abacus, and when Fang Baoqian came back, the best result would definitely be to let Fang Qirui make a note, explaining that the industry was only in escrow, and she would have to return it to Fang Qizong and Fang Qiye when she turned back, and even, when Fang Baoqian grew up, she would keep it for Fang Baoqian.
Anyway, the concubine can't be contaminated in the slightest.
In this way, she has no place to stand.
Following Fang Qirui, there was an aunt who had been in the Qinglou, and she couldn't have known what kind of constraint and threat it was to his officialdom.
But the Chen family definitely couldn't tolerate him.
The Fang family can raise Aunt Lin and Aunt Shen, but they won't support her.
Aunt Mei watched as those subordinates got her orders and hurriedly went to inform a few Fang family masters, her heart sank.
Probably tomorrow, these people will not listen to her like they do today.
She looked at the maid Lu Yan who had been with her for more than ten years, she was now twenty-five years old, and she served her when she entered the Fang Mansion at the age of fifteen, if she gave her up, then there would be no more effective assistants.
Lu Yan looked at Aunt Mei's eyes as clear as a pool of spring water, but she was unpredictable, she couldn't understand what she was thinking, and she was busy urging beside her: "Auntie, auntie." ”
Aunt Mei came back to her senses and asked, "Didn't they all listen to Madame's words, what else is going on?"
Lu Yin whispered: "Jixiang is here, saying that the second grandmother wants to drink a lighter soup, and she is boiling it." Just happened to run into Peony, and swaggered to knock down her small stove at the kitchen door. She couldn't get angry, so she came and told you about it. ”
Aunt Mei's eyes lit up, and after listening to Jixiang's complaint, she said with a smile: "I will punish Peony, she is becoming more and more disagreeable, and she is so arrogant and domineering just after she was released." ”
After saying that, he smiled and looked at Ji Xiang: "It's just that unconsciously, you have grown from a little girl to a big girl." Seeing that the second grandmother is also quite important to you, I feel very stable. ”
Ji Xiang hurriedly said: "This is all Aunt Mei's kindness to the slave maid, if it wasn't for ......" She glanced at Lu Yin, swallowed the rest of the words into her stomach, and said no more.
These secret things are better to be known to as few people as possible.
Aunt Mei smiled and took out a golden hairpin and put it on her: "When you were asked to serve the second grandmother, it was just to see her pitiful and give her a little help." Now that her son has been born, you don't have to bother her with these little things, come and tell me that she is right. ”
Ji Xiang nodded, knowing that Aunt Mei was relatively good to He Jiaxian, and she was grateful.
Aunt Mei asked again, "What kind of soup does the second grandmother want to drink?"
Ji Xiang said: "Lotus seed lily, wait a while for the slave and maid to go back to the kitchen to boil." ”
Aunt Mei said: "I've been anxious these days, and my heart is on fire, so you can bring me a bowl when you're ready." In this case, you will bring it up when you hold the lamp, and I don't have much appetite for dinner, so I will take a sip of soup. She's always been good at making food, and now that she's ordered, it's going to be good. ”
Jixiang smiled and agreed.
In the evening, Master Fang called Aunt Mei in again and asked if Fang Qirui had come back, and when he came back, he hurriedly asked him to make a note.
Aunt Mei agreed, and then asked, "Do you want Mrs. to come and witness?"
Master Fang nodded and said yes.
Aunt Mei got up and went to invite Chen in person.
Only when I arrived at Heshoutang, I just met Chen, glanced around, and said, "My sister has something to ask my sister, and I ask my sister to speak alone." ”
Chen held Aunt Mei's deed of sale, he was not afraid of anything, and when he heard Aunt Mei say the word "beg", he already had the upper hand and invited everyone to go out.
Aunt Mei whispered about the past days, babbling without getting to the point.
Chen was naturally very impatient: "Just say something, what are you talking about?"
"The master said, let the second child come back and make a note......" Aunt Mei said this, seeing Chen's happy face, she wanted to continue. was stopped by Aunt Mei and pinched her neck and pressed her on the bed, Chen is older than her, and she has been tired and tired all these years, so she is naturally not an opponent, seeing Aunt Mei pressing a dagger on her neck, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move.
"Bring me the deed of sale, or you will die or I will die today. Aunt Mei stretched out her hand and touched her: "Anyway, I'm out of the way, instead of waiting for you to sell me in the future, I won't kill you today to pay for your life." ”
The Chen family naturally believed what she said, although she had no intention of selling Aunt Eh for the time being, but she also thought about torturing her that it was better to die than to live.
Sure enough, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry and could say anything.
"I'll count to three. Aunt Mei's eyes were about to burst out, and she glared at the Chen family viciously: "I just want a way to live, you hold two sons, and the entire Fang family is yours." You can think about it, is your rich life worth exchanging with mine!"
Chen is naturally reluctant.
Seeing that the Fang family was about to fall into her hands, her life was more precious than anything else at this time.
Hurriedly took out the deed of betrayal from his sleeve and gave it to Aunt Mei: "Here, here." "What if she is given, when she becomes the head of the house again, it is not a trivial matter to send a concubine. At that time, if the second child obstructs it, then let the mother and son go out of the house and end up clean.
Aunt Mei took the deed of sale and took a look, it was indeed true, and immediately took it to the candle and burned it.
Chen got up out of breath, coughed a few times and said, "I'm going to tell the master, I don't have your good fruit to eat......"
Before the words fell, a strong wail came from the other side: "The old man is gone...... The old man is ......."
Chen was shocked, Aunt Mei was also surprised, and just as she was about to speak, Chen had already pushed her away and rushed out of the door.
Aunt Mei walked out of the door of Heshoutang slowly, wrapped the dagger in cloth, threw it into it when she passed the pond, and hurried over with the maid.
Master Fang was poisoned and died after eating the soup.
The soup was sent by auspiciousness.
Lu Yin said that Jixiang was originally made as a soup for the second grandmother, and it was suddenly sent to the old man to drink. She saw that the master had always liked the second grandmother, so she didn't stop her.
The old man vomited blood and died after drinking the soup, she hurriedly asked someone to hold Jixiang down, and the residual soup was also taken to Dr. Han for inspection, and there was indeed arsenic in it.
The dosage is quite a bit.
Then he found the remaining arsenic from the auspicious purse and wrapped it in a small paper bag.
Ji Xiang couldn't argue, only being gagged by someone, and he couldn't say anything.
All of a sudden, the Fang family was in chaos.
Fang Qirui hurried back, and could only see Master Fang's violently killed corpse.
The state lord brought the person ID card to draw the detainment, and took the auspicious person into custody.
