Today's second update, I sincerely ask for your support. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was tossed until the sky turned white, and the fire was completely extinguished.
The housekeeper's daughter-in-law reported to Mrs. Sun: "It has been extinguished, only three wings have been damaged, and there is no big problem, and it will be fine to brush white, but the two trees by the courtyard wall are somehow burning badly, and the sky-high fire is coming from there, I am afraid that the root bones will be burned, and the next year will not sprout, and the leaves will not be smoked." ”
However, a few trees are not precious, and if they die, they can be replanted, as long as the people are okay, the house is fine.
Mrs. Sun recited Amitabha and asked, "What about the Zhou people?" Is there a ......?"
"Aunt Zhou is fine, only the maids and mothers-in-law she married are ......"
"All, all dead?" Old Madam Sun sat down with a plop, her face twisted, her eyes widened, and her face was incredulous and frightened.
The daughter-in-law did not dare to speak, but buried her head low.
Old Madam Sun's heart was beating like a drum, cold sweat was dripping, her hands were unconsciously grasping something, her whole body was trembling, the previous worries, anxieties and apprehensions finally gathered in one place, she muttered: "Scourge, scourge, scourge, can't be left." ”
She nervously rolled her eyes and ordered people: "Put the corpses together first, no one is allowed to move, and ...... Zhou" She closed her eyes, trembling for a long time and finally stopped being so panicked, before she opened her eyes and said, "Shut up." ”
The voice of the maid sounded at the door: "Old lady, the third lady is here." ”
Old Madam Sun took a light breath, stroked her sideburns with her cold hand, and took a big sip of the cold tea on the table before she barely regained her composure and said, "Let her come in." ”
Although Qiao's was anxious, his steps were still not in a hurry, and he saluted in a regular manner, and then asked, "Mother is not scared, is she?" I also heard that the water in the side courtyard was gone, and I was busy calling people to put out the fire, so I came to visit my mother at this time and asked her to forgive me. ”
As he spoke, he knelt down with a plop and pleaded sincerely.
Old Madam Sun nodded with satisfaction, waved her hand, and said, "I know you are filial, but things have priorities, and besides, I am not a porcelain person, so I will be frightened, get up, it's none of your business." ”
She looked at this daughter-in-law and was a little worried, this daughter-in-law did everything to her heart, but she didn't want a man, otherwise she wouldn't wait until her son was old to open a concubine room for him.
Alas, men are not good things, even though it is her own son, why do they only look at women's appearances and completely ignore women's character?
How good is this daughter-in-law? Knowledgeable and polite, acting prudently, docile in temperament, virtuous and sensible...... It's just that he's old, and his appearance has always been average, but who doesn't get old?
It's the third child, isn't it also a half-old man?
But Mrs. Sun only dared to slander in her heart, after all, it was her own son, no matter how bad it was, it was good, since their husband and wife were not harmonious, they had been separated for more than ten years, and he was drinking all over the place, rather than letting him spoil his body, it was better to follow his wishes.
But this week's ...... I can't stay.
After sending people away, Mrs. Sun asked Qiao's: "Have you been to the side courtyard?" ”
Qiao Shi hung his head: "Yes." ”
"How's it going?" Mrs. Sun pinched her nose and asked, as long as she thought of that tragic scene, she felt uncomfortable.
Qiao's was okay, there was no superfluous expression on his face: "The house is black, but it's okay, the tree is also destroyed, I want to tell my mother to put the tree down, dig up the roots, and then replant the saplings to make it easier to survive." Zhou was fine, but she was a little frightened, and when her daughter-in-law went, she was unconscious. It's a pity that the maid and mother-in-law of the Zhou family who married together...... The death was terrible. ”
The last four words are enough to describe the situation at that time.
Old Madam Sun pursed her lips and did not say a word.
Qiao Shi guessed what she meant, and was silent. She never took the initiative to come up with any ideas for Mrs. Sun, and she only said it when she asked.
Old Madam Sun also knew that Qiao's was a stable character, and she couldn't be more satisfied with her when she was fine, but when something happened, she felt that her temperament was a little meaty.
She asked Qiao, "What do you think should be done about this?" ”
Qiao said decently: "The daughter-in-law is in charge of her mother." ”
knew that she would say that, and she was asking in vain. Mrs. Sun gritted her teeth and said: "For no reason, there is a dead person in the house, this matter cannot be concealed no matter what, according to my meaning, I will report to the official as soon as it is dawn, and hand over the corpse to Yu Zuo, and the Zhou family will be handed over to Fu Yin." In the end, what is going on, the government will handle it. ”
Qiao Shi was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said, "Mother, I'm afraid it's ...... to do this."
It was rare for her to have an opinion, and Mrs. Sun asked, "What?" Do you think it's wrong? ”
Qiao Shi nodded hesitantly, and said, "Walking in the water for a while, Zhou's thinking is not intentional, why don't you ask her first?" ”
Mrs. Sun was preconceived, she felt that Zhou Linlang was a scourge, and naturally once something bad happened in the house, she decided that Zhou Linlang was the culprit.
Qiao's may not be really fair and just, but everyone has their own thoughts, different positions, and naturally looks at things from different angles.
Mrs. Sun didn't refute her, but after thinking about it, she finally agreed.
This is not bad, the Sun family has always had strict family rules, and there is no precedent for wronging people without being innocent, not to mention that when it comes to life lawsuits, it can't be hasty.
She ordered someone to call Zhou Linlang.
Zhou Linlang was dressed in a mess, still the underwear she wore last night, the corners of her pants were scorched, her body and face were also black and gray piece by piece, and her eyes were also dazed and numb after great fear, looking very pitiful.
Mrs. Sun didn't pursue whether she had memorized her family rules, let alone her perfunctory salute, and said, "You were frightened yesterday." ”
Zhou Linlang's lips squirmed, and she stopped talking.
Mrs. Sun asked, "There are only a few of your masters and servants in the side courtyard, how did this fire come about?" ”
Zhou Linlang shook his head, closed his eyes, and said, "I don't know." ”
Old Madam Sun frowned: "You didn't hear a little movement?" ”
Zhou Linlang bit to death but didn't know it.
Old Madam Sun said coldly: "I think you are a thief, right?" Don't think that you can escape punishment by blindly shirking, I will order someone to report the case to the government, and you can argue with them about what happened. ”
She was so threatening, and Zhou Linlang didn't see any fierce reaction, and there was a broken jade determination behind the dead ash expression on her face.
Old Madam Sun waved her hand: "Come on, take her into custody first, and then hand her over to the government for disposal." ”
Zhou Linlang can deceive others, but she can't deceive her, and Mrs. Sun is sure that she knows the inside story. Regardless of whether she was wronged or not, the Hengzhu Sun family couldn't keep her, so they simply took advantage of this matter to hand her over to the government, and life and death were up to her.
Zhou Linlang opened her eyes, and she couldn't see what her expression was on her face full of black ash, only her eyes were full of shining light, and she pleaded: "Old Mrs. Sun, Linlang is wronged." ”
"If you are wronged or not, you can go and talk to the adults."
