Chapter 438: Slaughtered by Others
The husband and wife were not in unison, and Mrs. Meng thought about it for a long time after Meng Ye left, but she still felt that something was wrong.
Meng Ye was born as a military general, she only knew how to charge into battle, and she never had any foresight, but she was different, she came from the battle in the back house, and she was very good at seeing that something was wrong from some clues.
At the beginning, someone once persuaded her to check Meng Xiaofu's past, but she refuted it, at that time she felt that if she really found out something, it would be difficult to end, Heng Xiaofu is a girl's house, and Thorn Town is that kind of town, what can happen? At most, it's some Fengyue events.
Ding Wang Ye had traveled around in the early years, went to Thorn Town, and maybe he had seen Xiao Fu, these had little to do with her, even if Xiao Fu had something unsightly with Ding Wang Ye before, it was just a little thing between men and women, and now that the two of them are married, if they really want to be turned out, they will laugh at most behind their backs, which is harmless.
But now she doesn't think so, some of people's past experiences can easily affect a person's temperament, if something really happened to Xiaofu in Thorn Town...... If you have a hard time, you will not be without resentment in your heart.
Think about it again, the subordinates who went to greet Xiaofu before died almost when they were held hostage by the robbers, and she didn't care much about it at the time, and there was no way to encounter this kind of disaster, just an accident, and she didn't care about Xiaofu such a concubine, just observed Xiaofu's behavior, words and deeds for a few days, and roughly judged what kind of heart this lady had, and it was more convenient to say that she was pro, and by the way, she accumulated some merit and regarded it as a good deed.
And the next qiΔ is like a dream. Turning sharply, in the blink of an eye, Xiaofu became the noble Dingwang Mansion, and their husband and wife had to look at Xiaofu's face and act, and they didn't dare to think about many things at all.
But now that I think about it one by one from the beginning, it seems that something is wrong.
What was wrong, Mrs. Meng couldn't say, and Meng wouldn't let her go to Thorn Town, and she didn't dare to decide privately.
When she was upset, Mama Ping came in. Bring in some fresh mountain pears.
This mountain pear is a unique wild fruit in the mountains near Yancheng. Small in size, but very sweet, Mrs. Montmont has been very fond of eating since she was a child, but this thing is hard to find. Occasionally, woodcutters would gather wood from the mountains. Take it to the market and sell it. Or the tenants who dragged the villagers to work on the village, whenever they went up to the mountains to pick them, they brought her some.
Think about how long it has been a long time since I was late, and so many things have happened. How can you be in the mood to find any novel fruits.
Ping's mother has been with Mrs. Meng for many years, and she knows Mrs. Meng's liking, so she said with a smile: "Madam, I often see that this mountain pear is said to have been picked from the mountain in the morning, and it is fresh." β
Although Mrs. Meng was upset, she couldn't help but go where she came when she saw her favorite fruit on weekdays, and after tasting it, it was crisp and sweet, and she casually asked, "Where did you buy this?" β
Ping's mother said: "This is not bought, it was sent by Alain." β
"Alain?" Madame Meng was stunned for a moment, unable to remember who Alan was.
Ping's mother saw it and hurriedly explained: "It's a little maid sent to serve the second miss when the second miss first came back, and later because of the disappearance of the second miss's personal maid Tangerine...... Mrs. married her to the countryside, she is now living well in the countryside, the man has a few acres of land, and diligent, life is very prosperous, every once in a while the two of them will go into the city to buy some mountain goods, by the way to the house to see, this mountain pear is sent by her. β
The maid beside Xiaofu, Mrs. Meng suddenly remembered, at that time, because of the disappearance of the orange, this girl made trouble in front of Xiaofu once, and Xiaofu asked her to find a good family to marry.
Because of the disappearance of the orange, she still felt a little frightened.
"Quick, go and call Alain in, I have something to ask her." Mrs. Meng remembered something and hurriedly instructed Mother Ping.
Seeing that Mrs. Meng was so anxious, Ping's mother didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went out to look for Alain.
Alan is an orphan, grew up in Mongolia, has no relatives, is in Mongolia to recognize a godmother, she is a grateful maid, every time she comes to see, outside to the master to say goodbye, send something to the godmother, send me away.
Ping's mother chased people to the city gate, and then chased Alan back.
Led a nervous Alain into the house.
Mrs. Meng motioned for Ping's mother to go out, and she asked Alain alone for something.
Seeing the formation, Alan was a little frightened, and immediately knelt down.
Mrs. Meng said as kindly as possible: "Alain, don't be afraid, I called you, there is something I want to ask you, you must tell the truth." β
Alan nodded desperately: "Madam, please ask, the slave doesn't dare to hide it." β
Mrs. Meng said: "Tell me, what kind of situation did your group go with Mother Wei to greet the second miss that day." β
"It's to go to Thorn Town to bring the second miss back." Alain replied dumbfounded.
"I'm asking...... What did you look like when you first saw Miss Two? Madame Mont tried to remind Alain as much as she could.
Alan thought desperately for a long time, and then said, "It's Mother Wei who went in to call the door, and then went in...... After that, the second lady came out, and then we got into the carriage and came back. β
"What?" Mrs. Meng's eyebrows jumped, "Didn't you go into the house where the second lady lived together?" β
Alan said straightly, "No, Mother Wei said that time is urgent, let's wait outside, she went in by herself, talked to the second lady, and soon, they came out, and then we left." β
"You have traveled from Yancheng to Thorn Town for a few days along the way, how can you not rest?" Madame Monte only thought it was very strange.
"No, Mother Wei won't let me rest." Alain said stupidly.
"Why?" Madame Meng frowned.
"Mother Wei said that she should be in a hurry, so as not to wait for the old lady for a long time." Alain desperately thought back to how long it had been and that she couldn't remember many things.
"In other words, you haven't seen anyone except Tangerine and Xiaofu?" Mrs. Meng hurriedly asked again.
Alain thought for a long time and shook his head, "No." β
"Isn't there an old lady next to Xiaofu? Even if you don't come back with you, then the old lady won't send Xiaofu out? Madame Monte felt even more weird.
Alan shook his head stupidly, "The slave didn't see it. β
Madame Meng now knew that something was wrong.
She didn't know anything about Xiaofu at all. And for those who know what happened to Xiaofu in Thorn Town over the years, Tangerine is missing, and even Mother Wei, who went to greet her at the beginning, is dead, and died before she met the thieves.
According to Alain, Mother Wei was the only one who had ever entered Xiaofu's yard, and by coincidence, she was dragged to death by a frightened horse, and the orange was not seen after that.
After careful scrutiny like this, people who know Xiaofu's past don't exist at all.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
"Mother Wei...... Did you say anything before you died? Mrs. Meng thought for a long time and asked this question again.
Alain bowed his head. There was a look of horror on his face. Then he shook his head.
This look of horror was seen in Madame Meng's eyes, and Madame Meng misunderstood again.
After that, she didn't ask Alain much more, and in order to avoid arousing suspicion, she rewarded Alain with a piece of cloth. It is regarded as a reward for giving pears. Then let Alain go back.
Day 2. Mrs. Meng made another excuse and found a mother-in-law who also went to pick up Xiaofu that day, and asked about the situation that day.
What the woman said was much the same as Alain. It was said that following Mother Wei, only Mother Wei entered the house alone, and it didn't take long for the second lady to come out with oranges and a small package, and she didn't see anyone else in the house.
As for Wei's mother's death, it was really Ma who was frightened and dragged to death.
Mrs. Meng felt that the mother-in-law's words were not very credible, after all, they were just some subordinates, and they didn't know very well.
If you really want to have good eyesight, you have to find those guards at that time, the guards were born in martial arts, and some things can be seen more clearly.
But under this search, I couldn't help but be taken aback, when the guard driver encountered the robbers, most of them were killed and injured, and the only few who remained, all of them left the Mongolian Mansion for various reasons in this year, and now I want to ask, but no one can be found.
Mrs. Meng's actions can be hidden from others, but she can't hide from Ping's mother's eyes.
When Madame Meng wanted to send someone to look for those guards outside, Madam Ping hurriedly persuaded: "My madam, what are you going to do here?" Why are you looking for these people? β
Mrs. Meng didn't want to sue SΓΉ Ping's mother, the fewer people who knew some things, the better, but she alone couldn't do this, and now Ping's mother was a powerful one around her, so she could only say to Ping's mother: "I'm just a little confused...... Something is wrong with Xiaofu, I ...... is also worried about her, afraid that she will have any knots about the Meng family because of the past, so she wants to find someone from the past to ask to see if there is any misunderstanding. β
Mrs. Meng's explanation did not convince Ping's mother.
But you can't question the master at all, originally the master said what the subordinate does, but Keping's mother thought that the matter was related to the second lady, so she was afraid, and persuaded again: "Madam, things have passed for so long, you are like this now...... If the second lady knows, how can it be good if she misunderstands? β
Mrs. Meng looked into Ping's mother's eyes and asked, "What if you misunderstand?" β
"It's going to hurt the mother-daughter relationship." Mother Ping said lightly, but there was a trace of fear in her eyes, what she was most afraid of was something related to the second miss.
Ping's mother's fear made Mrs. Meng see it, she stared at Ping's mother for a long time, only to see that Ping's mother felt that something was wrong with her whole body, and then asked: "Ping's mother, master and servant, what do you think of me to you?" β
"Madame is as kind to the slave and maid as a mountain." Ping's mother answered without thinking about it.
Mrs. Meng didn't believe the quick answer, but she didn't really want to know what Ping's mother thought, so she just said, "In that case, I'll ask you something, you have to tell the truth." β
"Madame just asks, the slave doesn't dare to hide it." Ping's mother can only answer like this at this moment.
Mrs. Meng then asked, "Are you afraid, what are you afraid of?" I want to hear the truth. β
Mother Ping slowly knelt down and said sincerely: "Madam, the slave maid has been by your side for so many years, just say something from the heart, the slave maid just wants to spend her old age in peace...... Second Miss, Mother Wei, who took over the second miss before, died, and Mama Dou ...... The slave and maid don't know what to be afraid of, but they are afraid. β
"I see." Mrs. Meng slowly closed her eyes, yes, the current situation is that everyone is afraid, the people around Xiaofu are not dead one by one, they are missing, and they do not happen at the same time, and the reasons are also different, so people are a little ignored.
It is precisely because most people have a clear cause of death that it does not arouse suspicion for a while, but aside from those causes of death, but looking at the results, it is very terrifying, Xiaofu does not have a long-term service around him, not to mention the people around him, that is, those who have dealt with her, and even said that they have offended her, there is no good end at all.
The Hu family is the first person who wants to calculate Xiaofu, the current Hu family, ugly things one after another, Miss Hu Qi died, Mrs. Hu collapsed on the bed, Hu Shilang was impeached several times by the imperial history because of these inner house things, and the Hu family was about to fall.
There are also those who heard that they were embarrassed by Xiaofu at the banquet, such as Wenjun Wangfu, invited Xiaofu to the banquet, and there was a lot of neglect, and then it was the county lord of Xiuwen, the county lord of Xiuwen also framed his daughter in the Hu family, which is equivalent to framing Xiaofu, and then the third lady of Ruicheng Wangfu, Ning, sent her sister to Dingwangfu, and to the nearest Dong Guifeng, by the way, I almost forgot jì, before Xiaofu married into Dingwangfu, I sent the beauty to give the king's right to the third old lady.
None of these people ended well.
Definitely not a coincidence. Is Xiaofu secretly plotting to eradicate the people who threaten her?
Xiaofu alone will have such a great ability to knock down so many mansions in a broken time?
This is really incredible, Mrs. Meng's intuition seems a little unlikely, but even if these are not all done by Xiaofu, even if half of them are related to her, it is still very scary.
There are so many of these coincidences that people have to wonder, who will be next?
Is it the Meng family? Compared with the previous ones, isn't the Meng family's damage to Xiaofu greater? If Xiaofu has a sense of revenge, then isn't the first one who should retaliate against the Meng family?
Meng Ye threw his biological daughter to the countryside to fend for herself, and then picked it up, because this daughter hindered his career, he wanted to kill his biological daughter.
Although it didn't work out in the end, people will have resentment.
At the beginning, she had no choice but to choose to believe in Xiaofu, and later YiqiΔ, Xiaofu's help to Yan'er made her gradually lower her vigilance, I don't know when it started, the Meng family's big and small things, she discussed with Xiaofu, obeyed Xiaofu's words, and even the relatives of several children also obeyed Xiaofu's arrangement.
It seems that he walked into the trap set by others step by step, and now he suddenly woke up and found that there was no bargaining chip around him, as if someone else's words could uproot the huge Mongolian Mansion.
Mrs. Meng only felt that the crisis was approaching step by step, and the entire Meng family had become meat on someone else's board, and could only be slaughtered. (To be continued......)
