Chapter 240: It's over
Aunt Bai and Zhou Tao, after Zhou Airu came back to report the situation, already knew that their attack had failed, and their faces couldn't help but be a little ugly, and at the same time, they immediately wondered how to deal with Mrs. Zhou and Master Zhou to trouble them.

"Don't think about it, just insist that we haven't done such a thing, anyway, her evidence, isn't it just the one-sided words of the grandmother next to Zhou Zhouniang, if that Mama Li's words can be believed, why can't Mama Wu and Mama Wang deny it?" Zhou Tao said.
Aunt Bai frowned and said: "The concubine understands this truth, and the concubine is worried, if Dafang tortures Mama Wu and Mama Wang, they can't help but confess." ”
Zhou Tao said with a smile: "Then we can come up with a trick, in order to frame us, deliberately force the two of them to say that, and those two people don't have any evidence from you, so they can only say it with one mouth, in that case, just one mouth to say, we don't admit it, what can they do to us?"
Aunt Bai nodded and said: "It's the same reason, it's just that even if we deny it, we have already startled the snake, and it is not easy to arrange things in the future." ”
In the final analysis, she is afraid that Dafang will not be able to kill Zhou Qiniang after she has precautions, she only hates, there is no system store in her system, selling some colorless and tasteless poisons, otherwise she wouldn't have to worry about it like this.
But speaking of which, her methods are still not as good as the old lady, she was like that to the county lord of Dezhao, and no one has found out anything famous until now, what about her, she did a little trick, and she was found out in defeat, such a comparison is really depressing.
Zhou Tao was also worried about this, but he still said: "The days are long, they can't always keep an eye on them so closely, there is always a chance." ”
The two discussed it, and then went to the big house.
Master Zhou didn't know what was going on, and when he heard that Mrs. Zhou was looking for him in an emergency, and then when he came, he saw that Mrs. Zhou had also found Aunt Bai and the second brother, and there were two grandmothers tied up on the ground, so he couldn't help but wonder and said, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Zhou was still angry at this time, and when she saw her husband coming, she pointed at Aunt Bai and Zhou Tao hatefully, and said, "The people in the second room arranged for someone to want to harm the seven girls!" and then told what happened in the Jing'an Hou Mansion before. "This is to destroy the roots of our big house!"
As soon as Master Zhou heard Mrs. Zhou's description, his hands trembled when he was angry, pointed at Zhou Tao, and his fingers almost poked Zhou Tao's face, and said: "I said why are you so kind, give me an invitation, it turned out that Qi Niang was in the house, we were protective and thoughtful, and we couldn't do it, so we deliberately let us take people out, so we could wait for the opportunity to start, right?"
Mrs. Zhou was angry, and Master Zhou was naturally even more angry, after all, Zhou Qiniang was not Mrs. Zhou's child, she was angry just because she didn't want Zhou Qiniang to die, and she would look at Aunt Bai's face in the future, and Zhou Qiniang was the child of Master Zhou, and it was the spare tire that Master Zhou wanted to make for the inheritance of the big house。
Zhou Tao saw that Master Zhou said this, so he smiled faintly and said: "I am indeed kind, my sister-in-law said that just now, you believe it, think that I, who is a younger brother, will harm your daughter? Then I want to say that she deliberately framed me, should you also believe it? You can't listen to one-sided words, right?"
Seeing that he flatly denied it, Master Zhou's beard shook in anger, and said: "You still want to deny it, who doesn't know the character of the two of you! It's too normal to do such a thing! I don't believe your sister-in-law's words, do you still have to believe what the two of you say? Besides, if this doesn't happen, what will your sister-in-law do if you frame you?
Saturday Niang, who also participated in the audit, heard Master Zhou say that Aunt Bai and Zhou Tao "It's too normal to do such a thing" couldn't help but have a slight flash in her eyes, thinking that this Aunt Bai and Zhou Tao had a good reputation before, but they didn't say anything unpleasant in the previous life, why now, Mrs. and Father, one by two, all said that Aunt Bai and Zhou Tao were not good? Could it be that they had done anything before? In connection with what Mrs. Zhou said about Aunt Bai 16 years ago, if you want to say what happened in the house 16 years ago, think about it, isn't it the matter that the county lord of Dezhao was robbed?
With this speculation, Zhou Zhou Niang didn't have time to think about it at this time, so she could only temporarily hide the shock in her heart, and then listened to Mrs. Zhou and Master Zhou continue to argue with the people in the second room, which is nothing more than one party accusing the other party of harming people, and one party not admitting it, and in the end, Lord Zhou couldn't help but say: "You don't admit to pulling down, anyway, I don't expect you to admit it, I just need to know it in my heart!" and then pointed at Zhou Tao and Aunt Bai and said hatefully: " You still have a handle in my hands, you dare to be so arrogant, if you dare to harm Qi Niang again, be careful that I break the jar and fall, and I will die with you!"
These words finally made Zhou Tao, who has always been personable, change his face a little, he was really a little afraid that Master Zhou would do this, and then Zhou Tao stared at Master Zhou coldly, and said: "Big brother be cautious, what good is it for you to break the jar?!"
Master Zhou snorted coldly and said, "If I have no offspring, all the family property will be occupied by you, even if the jar is broken, it will be nothing, isn't it?"
"What do you say about breaking the jar and breaking it, it's better to be alive than dead, besides, what to say about occupying the family property, the eldest brother is also interesting, Ding Dangxiang, who is poor in a big house, what family property is worth thinking about!" Zhou Tao said lightly.
Master Zhou sneered: "Don't worry about what to do to harm Qi Niang! Besides, there are still three catties of nails in the rotten boat, no matter how poor the big house is, your sister-in-law and I always have some money on hand, if Qi Niang is really dead, my mother will be the master of your son to me, aren't these things his?" There are also the things that the old lady has saved over the years, the old lady is so good to your second room, I'm afraid that it won't be given to me in a hundred years, it just so happens that he inherited the big house, and it is estimated that he will give it to him through me, because it is passed, I can't say anything yet, otherwise if it is not inherited, the old lady will not give me something for a hundred years but give it to him is unreasonable, isn't it?"
Although his wife is a housekeeper, the family's accounts have always been controlled by the old lady, and even his income and official income are also saved in her hands.
Zhou Tao listened to Master Zhou's words, and said lightly: "Even if my youngest son inherits it to you, the money of your husband and wife should indeed be inherited by him according to the law, and cannot be given to the daughter of a foreign marriage, but you gave it secretly, can I know? As for the old lady's money, you said that the old lady is good to our second room, that is, since the old lady is good to our second room, she will give us the private room secretly, even if the money is not inherited, it is also ours, so can we use it to harm Zhou Qiniang?"
Aunt Bai listened to it on the side, nodded her head, and said, "That's it, what our master said is reasonable, you really think about it." ”
Zhou Tao's words seem to make sense on the surface, and he blocked Master Zhou speechless at the moment, Master Zhou couldn't say anything about Zhou Tao, but no matter how reasonable Zhou Tao said, he couldn't hide his harm to Zhou Qiniang, so no matter how much he said that he didn't care about the big house, Master Zhou didn't believe it.
In fact, Lord Zhou didn't expect that on the idea, Zhou Tao's main purpose was to worry about the Earl's Mansion, in addition to living in the Earl's Mansion, it was better than living in the County Lord's Mansion, which made him feel face-saving;
First of all, if you occupy the Earl's Palace, the county lord's mansion can be rented out, which is a sum of money.
Secondly, this Earl's Mansion occupies a lot of land, if it is cleaned up well, there can be a lot of interest, but now these are all Zhou's, he is not easy to ask, but once Zhou's son succeeds his son, he can't ask, his son can always ask, and then he will clean up the Earl's Mansion in the name of his son, and there will still be a few thousand taels a year, not to mention anything else, when the Earl's Mansion will be cut in half, and they will live in half- Now there are few people in the house, half of it is enough, and it saves the lack of people in the house, and there is no one to manage some places, and the barrenness is ugly there- The other half packed up and rented to those students who went to Beijing to take the exam, just the rent can get a lot, and those students who went to Beijing to take the exam, see that they can live in the Earl's Court and come into contact with nobles, they must be willing to spend money to live here, even if they spend more money, they are willing to do so, you must know that some people want to see more nobles, there is no way to do it, he is now clearly marked, there will definitely be people who are willing, Master Zhou is guarding Baoshan and has no money, although Zhou Tao is not good at doing business, but he still knows how to plan for these fixed doors, so this is the reason why he has always wanted to pass his son to the big house, that is, he wants to find a legitimate excuse to take care of the entire mansion openly。
This idea, he never mentioned it to anyone, even Aunt Bai didn't know, just thought that he took a fancy to this mansion and didn't want to go to the county lord's mansion to live, at most he only thought that he wanted to borrow his son's name, not only in the future, not only the income of the county lord's guest of honor, but also the income of the big house title can be snatched over, and life is better than now, just like the Dezhao county lord back then, Aunt Bai didn't know that he was going for money, and he didn't like to have a wife with a higher status than himself was only a small part of the reason, he has always been personable, gentleman like jade, and he didn't want others to think that he actually loves money, so he never told anyone these ideas, even if he took care of the mansion in the future, he will also use his son's name, and then say that he wants to earn a family property for his son, so that outsiders will not feel that he is greedy for profit, but only feel that he is a parent who is compassionate for his children and grandchildren - this is also the reason why Zhou Tao hated her to death after Hibiscus took back the dowry, after all, he finally got a large sum of money, but after a long time, he was still taken away, can Zhou Tao not hate?
Because Aunt Bai thinks that this is indeed beneficial, anyway, it is better than going to the county lord's mansion in the future, lest others say that she has taken advantage of the county lord of Dezhao, and she lacks confidence to speak outside, and if she stays in the Earl's Mansion in Qing'an, she does not have to be afraid of others saying this, after all, she got it with her son, and she has enough confidence to say it, so this is also the reason why Aunt Bai agreed with Zhou Tao and passed her son to the big house, because she made Mrs. Zhou did not give birth to a son, and she originally had the idea of occupying the Earl's Palace.
At this time, because Mr. and Mrs. Zhou didn't believe that Zhou Tao had no idea about Dafang, but the other party didn't admit the evidence they came up with, and they insisted that Dafang framed them, and wanted to force Mama Wang and Mama Wu to admit the murder, and the second room said that they wanted to bend into a trick, but they didn't admit it, and in the end it was over.
However, just as Zhou Tao and Aunt Bai thought, although it was over, this matter had been shocked, and the big house had been on guard, and it would be difficult for them to start again, they didn't know that their plan could have succeeded, but it was only because of Zhao Yao's participation that they failed, and they were only annoyed that they were unlucky, and they actually let Zhou Qiniang's subordinates rescue Zhou Qiniang.
And on the side of the big house, although Zhou Qiniang is fine, Mrs. Zhou heard that her personal maid Dongmei ignored Zhou Zhouniang's explanation and ran to play, which caused Zhou Qiniang to almost have an accident, and finally sent Dongmei away.
After taking away Dongmei, in order to prevent Zhou Qiniang from having another accident, Mrs. Zhou transferred her right-hand man to Zhou Qiniang's side to wait, and at the same time increased the number of people, and instructed Zhou Qiniang not to lack people in the future, and at the same time, all food, clothing, housing and transportation must be confirmed, so as not to have another accident.
Saturday Niang saw that Mrs. Zhou and Master Zhou had found out that the second room wanted to harm Zhou Qiniang, strengthened her precautions, thinking that there should be no accident now, so she put her mind at ease, and then stopped paying attention to Zhou Qiniang, and instead paid attention to the obscure words mentioned by Mrs. Zhou and Master Zhou several times, she knew that Mrs. Zhou and his wife could not say it until they had to do so, after all, when Master Zhou threatened Zhou Tao not to harm Zhou Qiniang, he mentioned that he would die together, can set up some useful information.
However, if she can really come up with some useful information, then she should be the concubine of the king of Linjiang County, which should be a sure thing.
