Chapter 432: Interrogation
Master Liang thinks that if his youngest son is not angry, he can only count on a good Yue family to help him in the future, as for Miss Dong, the young lady from a high-ranking family, it is not far behind.
Mother-in-law and husband both believe that the sister-in-law's introduction is good, no one is willing to listen to Mrs. Liang, and she has no choice, thinking about it later, it's not a big deal, can a daughter-in-law still fight against her mother-in-law? She didn't believe that she couldn't even hold a little girl.
Unexpectedly, after Dong Guifeng passed the door, it was different from what she expected, Dong Guifeng seemed gentle and virtuous, and she could persuade her son, she was a little surprised, and then heard Dong Guifeng hint that she had offended her stepmother and Mrs. Hu, so the two of them joined forces to marry the third son of Liang, who they thought was bad.
Out of resentment towards her sister-in-law, Mrs. Liang didn't embarrass Dong Guifeng much, and after a long time, it was even more fulfillment that Mrs. Hu was not well-intentioned, and then something happened to the Hu family, Dong Guifeng also helped her come up with some ideas, and she could also coax Mrs. Hu not to interfere too much in Mrs. Hu's affairs, just because the things Mrs. Hu did behind her back were very scary, and if she really wanted to poke it out, the Liang family would be affected.
That's it, she believed Dong Guifeng in a ghostly way, and no longer restrained her every move, and didn't ask when she frequently went out or went back to her parents' home, or went to socialize.
Just because the daughter-in-law is seeking an official position for her son, it is not disgraceful to say it, as long as she pretends not to know, in the future, her in-laws such as Mrs. Dong complain, you can push it all away, and even Mrs. Liang gave Dong Guifeng a lot of good things behind her back, she also knew it, so she hid it from the other two daughters-in-law.
Seeking an official position must require silver. It's not good to go to the door empty-handed, and it's not without suspicion. Did Dong Guifeng secretly put the silver in his pocket, but thought. Dong Guifeng is a woman, and she is not close to her mother's family, so she will not end up with her son after getting so much silver.
Compared with the other two sons, the younger son's future is only afraid that it will be more difficult, she has the heart to make up for it, but because of the other two daughters-in-law, it is not good to give too much, plus the younger son's temperament, he can't hold the silver in his hand. Since Dong Guifeng has a way, let her go, anyway, they are already a family, what is the matter, Dong Guifeng's dowry is also a lot, and it will be easy for her to spit out the silver when the time comes.
I really didn't expect that Dong Guifeng was so bold and reckless and harassed Mrs. Dong's relatives.
However, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liang family, Zhuang, is more stable and has seen some doubts. said to Mrs. Liang: "Mother-in-law, I heard that the relationship between the third brother and sister and this Mrs. Dong has always been bad, even if there is anything difficult...... How could there be any misunderstanding when it came to the Meng family? I don't look at Mrs. Dong as a kind person. β
Mrs. Liang shook her head. It's not like she didn't think of that.
Mrs. Dong dares to ask the teacher so much, it must not be fake, Dong Guifeng goes out every time. More or less, there will be maids and subordinates to follow, such as Mrs. Dong's relatives, such as the Meng family. If Dong Guifeng really hadn't been there, Mrs. Dong was not a fool. Aren't you afraid of being exposed if you fabricate such a thing in person?
As the eldest daughter-in-law said, their mother-daughter relationship is bad, so it is impossible for anyone to ask for Mrs. Dong's mother's house, according to Mrs. Dong, she went to Meng's house three times and twice to harass her, and she still stayed in someone's house and did not leave, which may be a bit exaggerated, but it is definitely not a shadowless thing.
Mrs. Dong couldn't sit still, but Dong Guifeng followed Mrs. Tai to the temple to offer incense, and she couldn't come back for a while, she couldn't send someone to urge, this Mrs. Tai was praying for her precious daughter Mrs. Hu, and she was going to urge a bad omen, and her mother-in-law's heart would definitely be angry with her again.
However, I can't confront Dong Guifeng for a while, so I still have something else to do.
Mrs. Dong immediately ordered someone to find the maids and mothers-in-law who matched the room next to Dong Guifeng, every time Dong Guifeng went out, there must be a maid to accompany her, this time to accompany Mrs. Tai to incense, she will not bring so many people, naturally there are people who know the inside story.
interrogated clearly first, and waited for Dong Guifeng to come back so that she could not quibble.
Coincidentally, Dong Guifeng's personal maid Bailing, because of some coughing in the past two days, did not accompany Dong Guifeng to go out.
Bai Ling was sick, and her master was not there, so she lay down on the bed to rest, and suddenly a group of stout mothers-in-law broke into the house, dragged her off the bed, and dragged her to Mrs. Liang in a cloak.
Bailing, who didn't know what was going on, was terrified. Trembling on his knees.
Mrs. Liang above, dissatisfied with the frost on her face, didn't give her a chance to think, and immediately asked: "Say, whose house has your master been to recently?" Tell me clearly, as long as you miss one family, be careful of your skin, and know that you are not the only maid in front of your master. β
"Slave maid...... Slaves. Bai Ling stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence, her mind spinning rapidly, but the current environment did not give her time to think about it at all.
After a little hesitation, Mama Xia, who was beside Mrs. Liang, drank again: "Madam asked, you cheap maid still dare to hesitate, don't you want to live anymore?" If you don't speak, don't talk about it in the future, there is a bowl of dumb medicine here, drink it, and you can keep secrets for your master for the rest of your life and be a loyal maid. β
As she spoke, Mama Xia sent a bowl of medicine with a pungent smell to Bai Ling, who was so frightened that she hurriedly hid back, but the two stout mothers-in-law beside her held her down, making her unstable.
"I said, I said......" Seeing the medicine bowl touch her lips, Bai Ling instinctively screamed.
Mama Xia held the bowl and looked at her like that, and she hesitated to continue to pour the medicine.
Bailing's psychological defense line finally collapsed, and he cried: "The slave maid went out with these three young ladies, and the most at first was to go back to the Dong family, and then went to the Liu family once, and then went to the Wang family again......
Mrs. Liang looked at Bai Ling coldly.
After Bai Ling finished talking about some inconsequential people, he raised his head and met Mrs. Liang's cold eyes, gritted his teeth, and continued: "There are ...... I went to the young lady's aunt Meng's house three times, and the other ...... The other slaves don't remember. β
"Really?" Mrs. Liang continued to keep a cold face and elongated her voice, "I really don't remember?" β
Bai Ling just wanted to nod, but Mama Xia held the medicine bowl and said, "Although this bowl of medicine is a dumb medicine, if you drink less." It's not a big deal for the voice, but it's easy to restore people's memories. Would you like to take a sip and see? β
"No......" Bai Ling looked at the medicine bowl in horror and said ruthlessly. The young lady also went to the Dingwang Mansion...... It's just that the people from Dingwangfu let her in...... The other slaves really don't know. β
also went to Dingwang's Mansion, and Mrs. Liang suddenly became furious.
This is what Mrs. Dong said, harassing her mother's relatives, right? It is inconvenient to say the name, it can only be hinted.
I can't imagine that Dong Guifeng is so bold, what kind of family is the Dingwang Mansion now, how can ordinary people climb the relationship? Who asked her to go to Dingwangfu to embarrass people?
Thinking about it with her toes, how could Princess Ding take care of her now? How many noble ladies with prominent husbands and families have eaten behind closed doors in the Dingwang Mansion, why should people open the first case for such a relative who can't beat the eight poles?
Besides, now the king is gone. When Princess Ding was in confinement, I didn't see Dong Guifeng mention that she was going to Dingwangfu to take a walk, and when someone gave birth to a son and sat firmly in the princess's position, she licked her face and stammered, hoping to get benefits, who do you think is a fool? That's a big joke.
In the evening, Mrs. Liang's anger became more and more intense, and it was almost extreme.
Mrs. Liang and Dong Guifeng returned home.
As soon as he entered the door, Dong Guifeng felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and the eyes of the servants around him seemed to be gloating and sympathetic. Zhuang and Mei saw that they came out and directly pushed her aside.
Mei Shi supported Mrs. Liang, and Zhuang said with a smile: "The third brother and sister are back." Tired, Mrs. Tai has us here. Go back to the house and rest. β
"No, I'm not tired. With Mrs. Tai, where will you be tired? Dong Guifeng replied cautiously, and even wanted to step forward to support Mrs. Liang again.
Mei stopped her without a trace, and said: "Third brother and sister, I just heard from the next person, the maid Bailing in your house doesn't seem to be very good, although it is a maid, after all, she is married to you, let's go back and see it first, if it is really not good, I have to ask a good doctor to take a look." β
Mrs. Liang liked to do some small good deeds in her later years, especially very tolerant of her subordinates, but she won the love of the little maids, and hurriedly said to Dong Guifeng; "In that case, the third family, you go and take a look, this girl Bailing is very clever and likable, so please ask Dr. Sun to take a look, what medicinal materials do you need just go from the warehouse, Amitabha, don't let this girl suffer too much."
Although he knew that things would not be so simple, Dong Guifeng couldn't find any reason not to go over at this time.
I thought about it, this is in the Liang family, there is something that can't be hidden, although Mrs. Liang is a little stricter, but she is not a madman, at most she will be scolded a few times.
After everyone surrounded Mrs. Liang and left, Dong Guifeng took her maid and walked towards the courtyard where she lived, but she didn't go to the door, but a few grandmothers who were waiting around Mrs. Liang came over, and the leader was Mrs. Liang's most trusted Mama Xia.
Mama Xia came to Dong Guifeng's side with a smirk, and after curtching slightly, she said, "Third young lady, Madame is invited." β
"This ...... Mama, I just came back from outside, let me change my clothes and clean up first, and then go to see my mother-in-law after cleaning my face. Dong Guifeng saw Mama Xia with such a look, and felt even more bad in her heart, and didn't want to go over immediately, so she thought about going back to the house first to explain to her maid a few times, and when she saw that the situation was not good, she immediately went to move Mrs. Liang as a rescuer.
"Young lady, Madame has been waiting for you since Fang Cai, don't let Madame wait, Hengzhi family, you don't need to be so polite." As she spoke, Mama Xia stepped forward to support Dong Guifeng.
"Mama ......" Dong Guifeng was anxious, and hurriedly gave her maids a look, but these maids were not so clever and could understand anything from a look.
In view of Mama Xia's status in the house, even her master has to give three points of courtesy, and those maids and wives don't dare to say anything, besides, Dong Guifeng is not a kind person in the first place, and he can't treat the maids very well, let alone dare to do anything.
They can't think of anything strict, this Mrs. Liang can't always do anything to her daughter-in-law, it is estimated that it is to reprimand, let the third young lady establish rules or something, the Liang family can't do anything to abuse their daughter-in-law, besides, now the situation is unknown, what can they do? A bunch of people rushed up to grab people with Mama Xia? If that's the case, it's okay and it's going to be again.
So the maid and mother-in-law beside Dong Guifeng watched Mama Xia drag her master to Mrs. Liang's yard, and wanted to keep up, but those few mammas were intentionally or unintentionally blocking the intersection, and in just a while, Mama Xia and the others had already walked away......
Dong Guifeng arrived in Mrs. Liang's courtyard.
Entering the living room, she saw Mrs. Liang sitting upright, with a look in her eyes, and then turned to the side, her personal maid Bailing kneeling on the side, her heart was suddenly cold, but she still stubbornly stepped forward to salute, and then she couldn't pretend not to see Bailing, so she said: "Mother-in-law, did this girl Bailing make you angry?" I'll teach her a good lesson later. β
As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, but Mrs. Liang didn't care about her identity at this time, and said sharply: "Don't ask, what mistake did this maid make?" Could it be that you think that I, the mother-in-law, am unreasonable and punish your maid indiscriminately? β
"The mother-in-law is angry, but the daughter-in-law doesn't dare." Dong Guifeng lowered his head and listened respectfully to the lesson.
In the past, her appearance could indeed make Mrs. Liang angry, but now that Mrs. Liang looks at her again, she only feels that she is fooling her, and she is doing one thing in front of her face, and her voice is even more stern: "Let me ask you, you have been going out frequently recently, saying that you miss your parents, go back to your parents' house to see, I, as a mother-in-law, are not easy to stop, I explain to you every time, and be filial to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, what have you done?" β
"My daughter-in-law really just went back to her parents' house to do her filial piety, talk to her parents, and then look at her younger brother." Dong Guifeng said aggrievedly.
"Your mother has been here today, and she didn't say that." Mrs. Liang didn't want to go around in circles with Dong Guifeng, so she just said that.
"Mother...... Mother, she used to misunderstand her daughter-in-law. Dong Guifeng was even more aggrieved and said, "This is also not good when I was a daughter-in-law and a girl, I didn't honor my mother well at that time, so that my mother misunderstood her daughter-in-law, and it will be difficult to eliminate it from now on." β
"You didn't ask, what did your mother say, could it be that you know the reason for her accusation?" Mrs. Liang stared at Dong Guifeng's eyes tightly, as if she had seen through it.
They are all cultivated in the complex inner courtyard, Mrs. Liang is not naΓ―ve, she used to be unguarded for a while, which made Dong Guifeng fool the past, once she was vigilant, it was not easy to deceive her, and the incident happened suddenly, Dong Guifeng had no time to make up seamless lies. (To be continued......)
PS: If you have the strength to ask for something, you have something to give.
