Next Chapter

It was the end of another year, the cold wind hunted, and the snow was falling, but at three o'clock, the night had fallen.

In the Cen family of Hong'an Mansion, a century-old scholarly family, in a bright and spacious main house in the plum garden of Xifu, two thick mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists are steadily pressing a middle-aged daughter-in-law with an honest appearance and a panicked face, kneeling in front of a cardamom girl who is drinking tea with no hands.

This girl has a delicate face, elegant temperament, the floor is heated in the house, but she doesn't feel cold, she only wears a bean-green cardigan skirt with snow-white mink fur on the neckline and cuffs, which makes her complexion more and more white, and the aura of her body is more and more cold and intimidating.

There was silence in the large room, except for the faint and heavy breathing of a few people. The silent pressure pressed on the second sister-in-law of Yang who was kneeling on the ground from all directions.

The middle-aged daughter-in-law with an honest face finally couldn't hold her breath, swallowed her saliva, and secretly raised her eyes to glance at the girl sitting above drinking tea, facing her cold and pressing gaze...... What is the purpose of summoning? ”

Cen Erniang, who was called the second girl, heard this, handed the teacup to the maid Shuying who was standing next to her, and watched her gently put the teacup on the table, caressing the smooth mink fur on the cuffs carelessly, "What do you say?" ”

"The slave is stupid," Yang Er's sister-in-law secretly moved her knees, which were already kneeling, and became more and more respectful, "I don't dare to guess what you think." Please also ask the girl to make it clear. ”

"Oh......" Cen Erniang sighed in a long tone, and sighed: "In the past, I only thought that Second Sister-in-law Yang was honest, but I didn't know that you were so talented!" As a spy, he didn't show any traces, and he hid me for so long! ”

"It's too aggrieved to put you in your mother's room and talk to her all day long to relieve boredom and do embroidery work!" Cen Erniang self-examined: "Blame me for my poor eyesight and bury your talent, no wonder you want to switch to my grandmother's disciple." ”

"Second, second girl," Yang Er's sister-in-law was calm, and she was also shocked by Cen Erniang's words, she forcibly suppressed the panic in her heart, raised her head to look at Cen Erniang, and loudly defended herself: "I don't know which one killed a thousand knives and slandered the slave maid like this in front of you?" ”

"For so many years, the slave maid has always followed the second wife, dedicated to the second room, and has never been out of the middle. In the days when the second wife was sick, the slave maid served her untiedly, even if she was sick with a high fever, she never neglected at all. How can you listen to the slander of the villain, think that the slave and the maid are spies, and trample on the slave and maid's sincerity so much! This...... Inevitably, it's too chilling! ”

"Huh!" Cen Erniang couldn't help but stroke her palms and smile, "One heart for the second room? Wholehearted? This is the funniest thing this girl has ever heard! My mother treated you like a sister, and you betrayed her and murdered her for a little money! ”

"Don't deny it! Your gambler husband Yang Er paid off the gambling debt of five hundred taels of silver owed to the auspicious gambling house, not to mention, and still had spare money to drink and visit the green and building everywhere. And your son, who only entered the Lushan Academy last month, I heard that you stuffed a large sum of money into the gentleman of the academy and took the relationship between my grandmother and nephew, so you forced him in. All this silver adds up to a lot of money. Where the money comes from, you know all too well! ”

Cen Erniang was completely impressed by Yang Er's sister-in-law, "I can't imagine that Yang Er's sister-in-law, you usually speak up, and when it comes to the critical moment, the eloquence you show is really shocking." You have such a quick wit and eloquence, and it is no wonder that my mother has been coaxed by you to drink the fierce medicine that harmed her, and still believes in you. ”

"Even my father and I have been deceived by you. If it weren't for the fact that my father valued my mother, and then took care of her inch by inch, boiling medicine and feeding medicine for my mother with one hand, you would have nothing to do. Otherwise, my mother would have been killed by you, a poisonous woman! When Cen Erniang said this, she didn't care about the two mothers-in-law Feng and Li, who restrained Yang's second sister-in-law, when they heard this shocking secret, they looked like they were disgusting: "I just hate that I didn't find out your poisonous woman earlier, and I affected my mother!" ”

"Girl!" When Yang's second sister-in-law heard this, she finally panicked and shouted loudly and struggled to stand up.

Cen Erniang frowned in disgust and glanced at the two mothers-in-law who were holding Yang Er's sister-in-law.

The two mothers-in-law were trembling in their hearts at the moment, and they only then understood why the second girl secretly arrested the second sister-in-law of Yang. Such a betrayal of the master, in the hands of the second girl, don't think about a good end. They had a meritorious role in catching Yang's second sister-in-law this time, and the second girl even let them know such secrets, obviously treating them as confidants.

Feng Li's two mothers-in-law thought about this, glanced at each other, and under the clear and attentive gaze of the second girl, they suddenly lifted their full spirits, one pressed Yang's second sister-in-law to the ground and compacted, and the other reached out to cover her mouth, preventing her from making noise and cheating Cen Erniang.

Cen Erniang bowed her head with a little satisfaction, and looked at the two capable mothers-in-law with appreciation, "Granny Feng, Granny Li, you two have made a lot of contributions to catching this poisonous woman this time." When this girl has taken care of her, I will return to reward you again. ”

"Thank you, second girl!" When Feng and Li heard the reward, their faces suddenly smiled and folded flowers, looking quite gratifying.

Cen Erniang and the shadow beside her were both amused by the two mothers-in-law.

After a short laugh, Cen Erniang was quickly exhausted by Yang Erniang's second sister-in-law, who refused to answer no matter what she asked. She ordered Feng and Li to trap Yang's second sister-in-law and stuff her mouth with a cloth.

She asked Mrs. Feng to take off the shoes and socks of the second sister-in-law Yang, and asked Mrs. Li to take a thin and soft brush and brush it on the feet of the second sister-in-law of Yang, who was expressionless and silent.

But suddenly, the terrible itch was so hard that the hard stone of the second sister-in-law Yang burst into tears with laughter, her face was red, her face was distorted, and she whined and begged for mercy.

Seeing this, Cen Erniang told them to stop.

"Granny Feng, please take off the cloth that blocked Yang's second sister-in-law, and let Yang's second sister-in-law answer 'good life'." Cen Erniang emphasized the word "good life".

Yang Er's sister-in-law thought of Fang Cai's torture, a deep jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she honestly lowered her voice and replied, what did Cen Erniang ask, what did she answer, she accepted two thousand taels of silver from the third old lady Gao three months ago, and secretly replaced the medicine of the second wife of Cen Lin, so that her condition continued to worsen, and she almost died.

Cen Erniang ordered Shuying to take pen and ink to write down the confession of Yang Er's sister-in-law, and after confirming that it was correct, she asked Mrs. Li to take Yang's second sister-in-law's hand, dip it in vermilion, and press her thumb print on the confession.

Yang Er's sister-in-law saw Shuying holding her confession with her handprint in both hands and sending it to Cen Erniang's side, with a look of disgrace on her face. She suddenly remembered her life, Genzi Peng'er was still studying in Lushan Academy, she was afraid that Cen Erniang would anger the child, so she slammed her head to the ground and kept hitting the ground, her voice was sad and eager: "Second girl, this qiē is all the slave's fault, and it is the slave's ghost!" Please spare my Peng'er. Peng'er, he is only twelve years old, and he is still a child who doesn't understand anything, please raise your noble hand and let him go! The slave knows that she is wrong! Please! ”

As she spoke, she slammed her head on the ground more than a dozen times, until her forehead was red and swollen, and blood flowed down her cheeks.

Although Cen Erniang hates Yang Er's sister-in-law for being vicious, she is innocent, she is not the kind of ruthless person who cuts the grass and eradicates the roots, and that Peng'er does not hinder her in anything. She saw that Yang Er's sister-in-law still had a motherly heart, which was much stronger than her husband who was unpopular and boneless, recruited everything after a few hits, and pushed all the qiē on her daughter-in-law, so she also allowed her, "This is something you and Li Er committed to commit it, I won't embarrass Peng'er as a child." ”

"Thank you, second girl! Two girls are merciful! Slaves and maids will always remember your kindness! The second sister-in-law Yang was overjoyed, and thanked her again and again.

Cen Erniang was impatient to see her miserable appearance and looked away. Although this woman has scheming and means, and her heart is ruthless, she is also a poor person in the end. It's all to blame for her gambler husband, who owes too much money to the gambling house, and the thugs of the gambling house go home three times a day, and she also ruthlessly accepted her grandmother's silver for the sake of a family and children, and exchanged it for her mother's medicine.

Although her mother gradually got better under the careful care of her father, it could not erase the fact that she wanted to kill her mother. If you do something wrong, you will pay the price!

Besides, because her mother was hurt by her and her grandmother, her father was so tired that he had no intention of studying, so he only threw all his heart on his mother and took care of his mother without undressing. Although he pulled his mother back from the ghost gate, his father's body was exhausted. Listening to Yumo, my father fainted yesterday in the year-end exam of the school in Fuxue......

Cen Erniang asked Shuying to put her head to her ear, told her a few words, and watched her leave. He also personally rewarded Feng and Li's two mothers-in-law with fifty taels of silver, and asked them to pull Yang's second sister-in-law to the firewood room and close it and take strict care of it.

In the end, she told the two mothers-in-law, who were smiling more and more blessed after receiving the reward, to keep their mouths shut about today's events. After getting their assurances and thanks, Cen Erniang waved her hand and motioned for them to pull Yang Er's sister-in-law down.

He propped his chin on one hand and pondered.
