168 Spoil the concubine
85_85218The words of the servant woman who rushed out were like thunder, and they directly blew up and down the theater without a sound, and then the timid girl who reacted screamed.
The movement here obviously also affected the drama that was being sung on the opposite stage, and the babbling and singing stopped abruptly, and suddenly the building fell into an eerie silence, except for a few occasional exclamations, there was no sound next to it.
The birthday star Weng Ma who sat at the top was completely stupid at this time, she could understand everything the servant woman said, but when she was connected to it, she felt like a dream how to listen to it and how unreal.
Isn't the third lady her niece Song? Hasn't the Song family been confined in the deserted courtyard at the back? Why was she released today? Why did he run to the outer courtyard, how could he eat the tea served by the fifth young master again, and then he was poisoned?
Ma's forehead muscles and veins jumped suddenly, and it wasn't until Su Yingying covered her mouth and screamed and threw herself into her arms that Ma completely woke up, stood up abruptly, and said, "What did you say?!" ”
She got up too violently this time, and as soon as the words fell, she felt that the sky was spinning and she sat back down, and it was only after half a sound that she resisted the bursts of black shadows in front of her and did not faint.
The servant woman brushed away the hair that covered her face, and Ma saw that this was Miao's mother who had been guarding the Song family outside the deserted courtyard.
Miao's mother is the confidant of the third master Su Dingwen, so she was sent to guard the Song family, and she does take her errand very well for so long, why did she make such a big mistake today.
The Ma clan was shocked, but the Bai clan exclaimed at this time, and said, "Nonsense, the third brother and sister have not been imprisoned all the time, how can they run out and be poisoned by the fifth young master?" ”
She seemed to remember that the Waihou Mansion had always claimed that the Song family was sick and recuperating, and she seemed to understand that she was in a hurry and said that she had leaked her mouth in surprise, and she hurriedly covered her mouth.
But Bai's voice was so loud, he should have heard it, and someone immediately whispered.
"It turned out that the third lady was not sick, but was imprisoned and confined."
"The third lady is the original wife of the wife, how can she be detained all the year round, this is too unusual, the third room master said that this official fortune has been prosperous, but the credit of the third lady is indispensable, how did she end up like this now."
"Look at the three rooms and a pair of concubines have been bullied to the head of the concubine, the third master is too unusual."
……
All kinds of voices were talking, but at this moment, Su Yingying suddenly stood up, rushed to Su Yingluo's face, and exclaimed, "Fifth sister, what the hell is going on?" Fifth brother, did you know before? ”
The ladies and ladies were discussing, and after hearing Su Yingying's words, they all unconsciously set their eyes on Yingluo, the three-room maid.
Although Yingluo had guessed earlier that the eldest lady and the Song family would act today, she never expected that the Song family would frame their sister and brother in such a tragic way, let alone that the eldest lady and Su Yingying would be so stupid to choose this opportunity to make the land ugly and go out.
Now that the Ding'an Hou Mansion has no good reputation, these women are still afraid that the decline of the Ding'an Hou Mansion will not be fast enough, so in order to drive their sister and brother out of the Hou Mansion, they really don't care about anything.
It can be seen how deep this hatred is, but Yingluo never felt that she had done anything against them, but she was not at the mercy of them, and fought back at the right time.
Because she didn't expect this, her face was a little pale now, and her surprised appearance was full of surprise, and she exaggerated a little at the right time, so when everyone looked over, they saw a frightened Yingluo.
Although there is no flaw in her appearance, but the people who came to attend the birthday banquet today are the wives of the main houses of various provinces, they hate the concubines and concubines the most, and they also know that those concubines are used to singing and doing beating, at this moment they look at Yingluo's appearance, not only did they not believe her, but they felt that she must have known about it in advance.
If it weren't for hearing such a terrible thing as his brother poisoning his mother-in-law, he would have fainted a long time ago, how could he be so calm.
Therefore, they all pointed at Yingluo and condemned it, the five old ladies were not afraid of the high stage when they watched the play, and even raised their voices: "I have seen those who spoil their concubines and destroy their heirs, but I have never seen anyone who dares to murder their mother-in-law in broad daylight, this is really a strange talk in the world." ”
Indeed, there is a clear distinction between concubines and concubines, when have you ever heard of a concubine daring to blatantly poison his mother-in-law?
Yingluo was waiting for this sentence, although she pushed the waves, just wanted to be driven out of the Su Mansion, but she had no intention of letting their sister and brother bear the notoriety, the voice of the fifth old lady fell, Yingluo stepped forward and knelt in front of the old lady, and raised her voice in panic: "Grandmother Mingjian, my brother will not murder his mother!" To put it mildly, my mother has been imprisoned by my grandmother and father for half a year, and our sisters and brothers don't have to be subject to our grandmother, and we don't have to worry about it every morning and dusk, so why do we still murder our grandmother? What is the need to murder my mother-in-law? ”
Yingluo's words, sure enough, even though the guests who were talking about it showed a strange and suspicious look, Bai Shi rushed in front of Ma and said: "This is not necessarily, maybe it is because there is no motive to commit the crime, so that they can act with confidence, thinking that they will not be suspected." What's more, it's not completely without motives, maybe it's the grudges accumulated before, and now the three brothers and sisters are all imprisoned, but they haven't been able to eliminate the resentment, so they started to harm people. ”
Yingluo suddenly raised her head and stared at the Bai family, and said with a piercing gaze: "Does the eldest aunt think that my brother and I are so stupid?" Even if you want to harm your mother-in-law, you should come secretly, why bother on a day like today, everyone knows about it, so what benefits can our sisters and brothers get? Aren't you afraid of being condemned by the world, and it will be difficult to establish the world again? ”
Yingluo's question was sharp, and the key to the problem was pierced, Bai was blocked for a while, but Su Yingying stepped forward to help Yingluo, and said: "Fifth sister, don't be like this, my mother also cares about the third aunt, and I am worried that the fifth sister and the fifth brother will be blinded by hatred for a while, and will regret it for life, so I said a few more words." You must know that sometimes people's hearts are full of hatred, and they will lose their minds and can't think seriously at all, not to mention that the fifth brother is only ten years old, and he is the most impulsive age. ”
Su Yingying's words simply found the most suitable explanation for Su Jinghua's poisoning of his mother-in-law, in the past, he had resentment in his heart, and today he murdered his mother-in-law on impulse, after all, a child who is only in his early tens, it is the time of rebellion and impulse, and it is very easy to lose his mind.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are still many flaws here, such as how did Su Jinghua get the imprisoned Song family to the front yard? For example, why is the Song family so stupid and at the mercy of Su Jinghua? What's more, even if he is resentful, why didn't the Song family do it when he was just imprisoned, but it has been half a year before he impulsively can't suppress his hatred?
It's a pity that all the wives who came today are the main rooms, their positions are biased, all the main rooms are standing together, and they must form a group to protect their interests.
No matter whether Su Jinghua murdered his mother-in-law today, or someone framed Su Jinghua, they didn't care at all, as long as Su Jinghua and Yingluo were the two sisters and brothers! Because if it all happens like this, if their sisters and brothers can still be fine, then in the future, will all the sinners have to do the same to murder their mothers and grandmothers?
In that case, wouldn't it be a mess? So this kind of thing, the truth is never important, the important thing is that it must not be tolerated, so as to give the sinners courage!
"Pity Mrs. Song, who gave birth to five children for Master Su San, and now she has ended up like this."
"I heard that the five girls and the fifth young master in the third room were born and raised in the outer room, which is really amazing."
There were denunciations everywhere, and Yingluo stood there, shaky, her face was very pale, and she looked like she couldn't stand the blow and knew that no matter how she could argue, it was useless.
Su Yingying stood next to Yingluo, admiring her frustrated appearance with great pleasure, thinking to herself.
Su Yingluo, I can't stand it, so what can you do after you and your brother are swept away.
Ma Shi listened to the discussion everywhere, only to feel that his head was roaring, and then he could barely suppress the shock and panic, stood up with Bai's hand, and said: "If there is an accident in the Hou Mansion today, I can't greet you ladies and ladies anymore, so that you are frightened, and I will come to the door to apologize on the next day." ”
Saying that, he instructed the Bai family to send the guests away on his behalf, and the Bai family responded with the blessings, although the ladies and ladies also paid attention to the development of the situation, they also knew that it was not suitable to stay any longer. Especially I don't know what the scene is before, then Mrs. Song has an order, if she really dies like this, it is not a matter of Su Fu closing the door and dealing with it if he wants to, and he must report to Jing Zhaoyin to come to investigate the case.
It is inevitable that the girls from various provinces will be inconvenient if they stay here, and if they don't get it right, it will affect the reputation of the girl.
Therefore, the wives also stood up and took their own girls to say goodbye. However, people surnamed Su who did not come out of the five costumes like the five old ladies stayed, because this incident was no longer the matter of the Ding'an Hou Mansion itself, and the interests of the clansmen would be affected, which would inevitably alarm the clansmen, and the clansmen would discuss and deal with it together.
The guests left, and the Song family had been temporarily moved to the Rong'an Hall of the Hou Mansion, and the Ma family took the eldest lady and others to move to the Rong'an Hall.
Rong'an Hall is a four-room open and connected Ming Hall, which is not used to entertain guests on weekdays, and only if something big happens to the family, it will be dealt with in Rong'an Hall.
When the Ma family took Yingluo and other female dependents to Rong'an Hall, the subordinates had already been retired outside the courtyard, and the people sitting in the Ming Hall were all members of the Su family. The Song family has also been carried to the warm pavilion next to Rong'an Hall for placement, and a doctor has been invited to detoxify the Song family.
And there was a person kneeling in the hall of Rong'an Hall, it was his younger brother Su Jinghua, he was kneeling there with his head down, but his back was straight. Because of hanging his head, Yingluo couldn't see Su Jinghua's expression, but from his back, she saw a sense of sadness.
Although Su Dingwen is not Su Jinghua's biological father, but in the end, Su Jinghua has been in Su Mansion for more than ten years, although today's incident was caused by their sister and brother, but the Su family does not know this, they are really bent on driving their sister and brother out of the Hou Mansion, they really can't tolerate them, and they want to force them to a dead end, not only Su Jinghua, but also Yingluo also feels a little cold in her heart at the moment.
As soon as Ma Shi entered the hall with the female dependents, Ding'an Hou, who was sitting at the top, let out a deep sigh and said, "Which one is the fifth girl?" Don't kneel down and explain honestly! ”
Today is Ma's 60th birthday, and Ding'anhou, who is usually in the Taoist temple all year round, has also returned home, which can be regarded as giving his old wife a face, and he doesn't want the birthday banquet to be overcome, and he has poured out such a big thing that corrupts the door.
Ding'an Hou didn't care about things on weekdays, but after he came back the day before yesterday, he heard about a few recent events in the house, he was already full of anger, and blamed Ma for not taking care of the family, but because Ma was going to have a big birthday, he suppressed the anger and didn't have a seizure. Who knew that such a ridiculous thing happened today, seeing Ma coming over at this moment, he couldn't help but give face to his old wife in front of everyone, but he didn't need to hide his disgust for Yingluo, a concubine.
After Ding'an Hou Shen finished drinking, Yingluo trembled, knelt beside Su Jinghua obediently, and said: "My granddaughter doesn't know what my grandfather wants me to explain, my granddaughter doesn't know anything, and my granddaughter believes that my younger brother will not do anything to poison my mother!" Please grandfather to see clearly, and give his granddaughter and brother justice. ”
Ding'an Hou defended when he saw Yingluo kneeling, but his face was even worse, and he said coldly: "People have stolen goods, you still dare to quibble!" After that, he glared angrily at Su Dingwen, who was standing next to him, and said, "Look at what you have petted!" Poisoning my mother-in-law, will I have a grudge in the future, even my father, even my grandfather, dare to poison with a bowl of tea! Such a big rebellion is simply appalling! ”
Su Dingwen's face at the moment was also very ugly, he was impeached some time ago, and he had just relied on the power of the old lady of the Chi family to suppress the matter, but now such a ridiculous thing was born, this time he could still rely on his relationship to suppress the matter?
He went to Beijing to report on his work this time, he was originally confident that he wanted to be promoted, he worked diligently for more than ten years in the foreign office, and he wanted to rely on this time to find a Beijing official with real power, all the way back, and it was precisely because of this that he took his whole family into Beijing early to move around and dredge, but he did not expect to wait for the end of the year to be appointed as an official, but he experienced several turmoil, so that he now does not dare to think about promotion at all, as long as he keeps his current official position is already a fluke.
Su Dingwen didn't care at all at this moment whether it was the Song family who was poisoned by Su Jinghua or Su Jinghua who was framed by the Song family, so as to get out of the predicament of being confined, because no matter which of the above situations, one thing would be proven. That is, he is not strict in governing the family, which makes the family messy, and the concubines become enemies, and there is no ability to join the family at all.
He is now only thinking about how to suppress things as much as possible, how to keep his official position without affecting his career.
Ding'an Hou condemned it in public, and Su Dingwen just bowed down in response.
At this time, the second young master Su Jingfei walked out with the doctor, obviously having seen the Song family, Su Dingwen hurriedly looked over and said, "How is it?" ”
Everyone also looked nervously, but they heard the doctor say: "The tea has been determined to contain arsenic, but fortunately, the third lady of the tea only used one mouthful, and the treatment was timely, when there was no worry about life, the old man had poured the decoction to the third lady to induce vomiting three times, and most of the toxins in the abdomen were discharged, and the decoction was prescribed again, and I took it for a day, and the old man came back tomorrow morning to revisit and modify the prescription." ”
Hearing that the doctor said that the life of the Song family had been saved, not only Ding'an Hou, Su Dingwen, Ma and others, but even the clansmen sitting in the hall were also greatly relieved.
As long as the Song family does not die, there is still room to make up for this matter, if the Song family dies like this, then the Su family will really become a big joke in Dafeng. In the future, who will dare to marry a good girl to the Su family to suffer? The reputation of the Su clan will be over.
Yingluo was not surprised when she heard this, the Song family and the eldest lady conspired to kill their sister and brother, and they couldn't take their own lives, not to mention, the Song family really died like this, and it would also have an impact on her two sisters-in-law in the future.
The government investigates the case, and the means are not something that a few women in the house can deal with, if the eldest lady and the Song family and other thieves shout to catch the thief, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Ding'an Hou instructed the chief housekeeper to send the doctor away, and Su Jingfei knelt on the ground and cried: "Grandfather, all the elders, my mother was poisoned and almost died in Huangquan, please let the elders make decisions for your mother!" ”
Su Jingfei said that tears flowed down, completely looking like a poor sister-in-law who was murdered by his concubine and had nowhere to tell.
Seeing him like this, Yingluo and Su Jinghua both looked panicked, kowtowed together, and shouted that they were wronged.
Yingluo retorted in a cold and high-pitched voice, "My sister and brother are just concubines and concubines who have no money and power, where can I get a poison like arsenic?" What's more, my mother has been detained in the deserted courtyard behind her, and the guards of the yard are the two mothers arranged by my father personally. How could the two mothers-in-law let their mother leave the deserted yard? The younger brother gave tea to his mother, how could his mother drink it without defense? Without any evidence, it was said that my brother and I had murdered my mother-in-law, and we would never dare to admit our guilt! ”
"What is unfounded? Hmph, at that time, several subordinates saw that the mother fell to the ground after eating the tea of the fifth brother, and she also searched for a pack of poison from the fifth brother on the spot, can this still be fake?! Yingluo's voice fell, and Su Jingfei jumped out and pointed to the point-
