The crowd flocked to the house, and sure enough, they saw a woman with a pale face and sallow skin lying on the bed.

Master Ye recognized at a glance that this was his fourth-room wife, Zhao. Seeing her like this now, Master Ye's eyebrows couldn't help but twist up. Although he has never treated this lady very much, she also had a good time when she first got married.

The Zhao family is docile and virtuous, neither competing for favor and profit like other ladies in the house, nor causing trouble, and is quiet every day, like a jasmine in the house.

At that time, he really liked her to serve paper and ink by his side. It's just that with the passage of time, his official position is getting bigger and bigger, and the women around him are also wave after wave, ring fat and thin, well-behaved, all kinds of things are chosen by him.

His liking for the Zhao family slowly faded. Later, when Zhao was older and old, he didn't want to see her like that. But after living for a while, Master Ye looked at her description of the withered appearance, and he was a little unbearable: "What's going on?" Isn't there a Lang Zhong in Fuzhong? Why don't you come over? ”

The eldest lady also hurriedly saw the performance of the stitches and scolded, "Don't go and invite Lang Zhong quickly." ”

Ye Qiu'er didn't want to let go of the eldest lady like this, she had harmed her mother like this, did she want to fool her like this?

Ye Qiu'er walked over, rolled up Zhao's sleeves, and cried and told Master Ye: "Dad, my mother was not born weak, but was beaten like this. Look at this whip print. "Where the sleeves are hidden, the whip marks are shocking.

Master Ye listened to Ye Qiu'er's words, and also thought that the Zhao family was the last person he married into the door. is younger than the other three rooms, but now she looks like an old woman in her seventies and eighties. Compared with the well-maintained Kou and Xue families, not to mention, even the eldest Lu family looked twenty or thirty years younger than her.

If it weren't for someone deliberately making things difficult, she wouldn't be here.

Before, he just didn't want to ask, but now that he saw her situation, he realized that she was so miserable.

Ye Qiu'er saw that there was a look of emotion in Master Ye's eyes, and immediately added: "Dad, it doesn't matter if you are beaten or scolded, you have a life." But just two days ago, someone tried to kill my mother. The sun and the moon are clear, and the sky is clear, in this huge prime minister's mansion, he actually asks for the lives of the grass. Dad, please give my mother justice. ”

Cold sweat broke out on the eldest lady's forehead, and her eyes were extremely vicious when she looked at Ye Qiu'er.

Fortunately, she just ordered someone to clean up the Zhao family, and she didn't show too many tricks. If it's a big deal, you will put the blame on others, and you will be guilty of ignoring it at most.

Thinking of this, the eldest lady immediately told the left and right in righteous words: "Go, bring me the steward who whipped the Zhao family and put the fourth aunt to death." ”

The little guy immediately took the order.

Ye Qiu'er knew that she would not admit her crime so easily. A ruthless woman like the eldest lady would inevitably impose all the blame on others. Ye Qiu'er knew that it was impossible to skin this fox spirit on the spot today, but it was not that she couldn't move her.

In a short time, a steward in his forties and fifties, with a full face, was brought over.

The moment she saw Aunt Zhao, her whole body trembled, and she was almost frightened. Pointing to the fourth aunt, she stammered: "You, are you a human or a ghost?" Aren't you dead? ”

Ye Qiu'er sneered: "I'm very disappointed." My mother is not dead. ”

The steward didn't know which link went wrong, she remembered that when the four aunts all went out, she was indeed dying. Even if he didn't die thoroughly, he starved for two days in a mass grave.

What the hell is going on? The steward was suspicious, and glanced at the eldest lady as if asking for help. The eldest lady's face was covered with frost, and she did not speak.

Ye Qiu'er was clear about the thoughts in the steward's heart, after all, death never meant death. Otherwise, how could so many people who were declared dead by doctors come back to life.

What's more, Aunt Zhao was still breathing.

"Say, why did you want to harm Aunt Zhao?" Master Ye hates his subordinates the most insidious and vicious, dominating the master, and his voice is so bad at the moment that he scares the living people in the whole room, and no one dares to speak out.

The steward glanced at the eldest lady again, and she understood that she didn't want to care.

"Spare your life, my lord, I just hit Aunt Zhao a few times, I didn't expect her to be so unbeaten." The steward had to kowtow and beg for mercy by herself, and she understood that confessing to the eldest lady at this juncture was tantamount to looking for death. If she bears all the responsibility, maybe the eldest lady will be kind and can save her life.

Master Ye watched her small movements in his eyes, and also glared at Lu.

Lu Shi suddenly felt like a man's back, and his heart was worried. Secretly cursing this steward, she just ordered her to be heavy on Aunt Zhao, and she didn't say that she wanted someone to kill her from beginning to end. Of course, the eldest lady didn't need to say anything, and the steward understood what she meant. After all, who cares about the death of an unfavored fourth aunt?

Therefore, after Aunt Zhao breathed, the steward ran to the eldest lady as if she had merit.

The eldest lady also lived up to her expectations and gave her a lot of silver, and asked her to throw people into mass graves.

Although the eldest lady didn't let her kill Aunt Zhao from beginning to end, this is what she meant in and out of her words. If it weren't for the instructions of the eldest lady, she wouldn't dare to murder Aunt Zhao even if she had a hundred guts.

Now, seeing that the eldest lady is reluctant to speak, she can only stubbornly say that she has missed.

It's just that I didn't expect that in order to prove her innocence, the eldest lady actually stood up and spoke fiercely: "This bold slave is really hateful, and he actually used the death penalty." Master, it's not a pity for this kind of slave to die, I think it's better to die. ”

What the? The steward couldn't believe his ears. She didn't expect the eldest lady to be so ruthless, and after using her, she abandoned her. And put him to death!

No, today is death, and she has to pull a cushion on her back.

The steward pointed his finger at the eldest lady and shouted, "It's her, it's the eldest lady who instructed me to do this." ”

"Nonsense." The eldest lady didn't expect this steward dog to jump over the wall and bite people indiscriminately, and she panicked, "Master, don't believe her." She's framing me......"

The two women scolded, and the noisy Master Ye had a headache. He is a fool and knows that this is clearly an intrigue between women.

Master Ye suddenly felt a sudden pain in his temples, and shouted: "Give me silence." ”

The Lu family and the steward immediately closed their mouths, and no one dared to say a word.

Master Ye sighed, and turned to ask Zhao on the bed: "You say." Who harmed you? But the eldest lady? ”

Zhao glanced at the eldest lady, and the light in her eyes at this time was extremely terrifying, and Zhao couldn't help but tremble. If you testify against the eldest lady at this moment, I am afraid that I will attract her revenge. Moreover, she has no direct evidence to prove that it was the eldest lady's hand.

Look at the steward again, it is true that she has beaten herself like this.

Aunt Zhao shook her fingers tremblingly, and the person she was referring to was the steward: "It's her." She was the one who bullied me every day. It has nothing to do with the eldest lady. ”

The Lu family breathed a sigh of relief, but the eyes of Master Ye looking at her had a little more disgust.

Even if she didn't instigate this matter today, I was afraid that it would have nothing to do with her. He has always liked Lu's benevolent and pot-bellied, strict governance, and the demeanor of a housewife. I didn't expect the means to be so unbearable.

Master Ye ordered someone to pull the steward out and kill him with a cane, and instructed Zhao to prepare to go back.

Ye Qiu'er hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Dad, mother, she is weak and has been wronged for so many years. also asked the father to let his daughter take good care of her mother in order to fulfill her filial piety. ”
