Chapter 322: Two Documents
In the house, Imperial Doctor Jiang Cheng gave Niu's injection.
Niu has drunk the antidote prescribed by the doctor in the past two days, but in fact, the toxins in his body have weakened a lot, and he can occasionally be sober for a short time. Now that the doctor has given the needle, she will wake up and come to her senses.
Jiang Cheng checked her pulse, and was quite satisfied, so he said to Lu's mother: "After a while, the doctor grabbed the medicine, and let the people boil it into a decoction for the patient to take all of them, and it will be fine." It's just that the patient is weak and can't stand the toss anymore. ”
Lu's mother bowed respectfully and thanked him.
When Jiang Cheng came out of the house, Lu Ma straightened her face and told the Niu family the ins and outs of the matter in very simple language, and said, "You are also lucky." If it weren't for our little marquis who found you a responsible good doctor, found out that you were poisoned, changed the recipe to save you, and immediately reported it to the little marquis, and brought someone to catch the murderer who poisoned you, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed. You haven't done anything good in your life, but when you are old, you are killed by your granddaughter, which can be regarded as your retribution! ”
Niu woke up a few times in the past two days, but Zhao Xiang didn't find out, so he said something rebellious in front of her, not knowing that she had heard it. At this time, Lu's mother told the truth of the matter, and Niu's immediately believed it, with unspeakable anger in her heart. But more than that, it is the humiliation of losing a big face in front of the people in the small second room.
Niu Shi glared at Lu's mother angrily, struggling to scold this rude old maid, but her body was still weak, she hadn't spoken and drunk water for several days, her throat was dry and almost on fire, and when she finally pulled it out, the volume was so low that it was almost inaudible, and it was hoarse like the sound of sandpaper scraping against the wall: "Stop...... Mouth ......"
How could Mama Lu really keep her mouth shut? Instead, he stared at her with disdain and said, "Don't be ignorant of good people's hearts, our little marquis and eldest girl saved your life!" Don't worry, even if your granddaughter goes to jail and gets beheaded, you won't starve to death. Our old lady is the most kind-hearted, and she said that she would give you two hangs of money and a bag of rice every month, and she would never break her promise! After Mama Lu finished speaking, she turned around and went out to report to Zhao Wei that Niu had woken up. Niu Shi was stunned after listening to her words.
The Niu family is indeed very resentful of what his granddaughter Zhao Xiang did, and he only thinks that she is a real white-eyed wolf! She worked hard to find a good family affair for her granddaughter, but things only encountered a little setback, and her granddaughter couldn't tolerate her. Isn't this a white-eyed wolf?! I really didn't see it on weekdays, this girl turned out to be such a vicious character, she really deserved to be born in her mother's womb, and both mother and daughter are the same jian!
But after scolding, Niu thought again. If she really let the people in the second room send Zhao Xiang to the official, she will certainly relieve her hatred in her heart, but there will be no hope for the future. She has enjoyed a lifetime of happiness, is it true that she is going to grow old, and she will still be insulted by the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family in the second room? Zhao Ze is already a wasted person, and she was even sold to the outer sixth room, and Zhao Yan's brothers and sisters all fled, and they couldn't count on it. If even Zhao Xiang is gone, who will feed her? She has always regarded the current hardships as temporary, believing that one day she will be able to enjoy her wealth again. And the best way to get rich is naturally to seek a good family affair for Zhao Xiang. Even if Zhao Xiang can't marry a wealthy family now, ordinary rich people are not unattainable. Zhao Xiang is her cash cow, and she can't lose this cash cow no matter what!
Niu struggled to get up from the bed, but unfortunately his hands and feet were soft, so he could hold up half of his body, and he had no strength, and the whole person rolled off the bed, fell to the ground, rolled around, and his forehead hit the table legs, making a loud noise.
The sound alarmed the people in the yard, and Mama Lu came back with her two mothers-in-law, and saw that she had a bruise on her forehead that was three fingers wide, lying on the ground and panting, with a disgusted expression on her face.
Niu Shi pulled his throat and made a desperate voice: "I have ...... Something to say...... To say ......"
Lu's mother waved her hand, and the two powerful mothers-in-law stepped forward to set up Niu's, hastily put on a cotton jacket for her, and then put her outside the yard, and someone moved a chair for her, she was placed on the chair, her whole body was weak, and as soon as the mother-in-law let go, she slid down and appeared in front of everyone in a very embarrassed posture. Her face flushed, and she struggled to get up, but unfortunately she didn't have the strength.
Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu were very happy when they saw her like this. Zhao Xiu gave Lu's mother a look, and Lu's mother ordered her mother-in-law to set up Niu's again, pressed it on the chair, and didn't let go, so she barely let Niu's sit firmly.
The moment he came out of the Niu clan, Zhao Xiang's face turned pale, and his body shook. Niu Shi glared at her fiercely, and she was so frightened that she sat down directly on the ground. was so useless that everyone present couldn't help but show a look of disdain.
Since you are so timid, who else will you harm!
Niu glared at Zhao Xiang several times, and that look was eager to peel off people's skin. But when she turned to Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu, the words in her mouth were not the same thing: "Little Hou Ye...... Misunderstood...... That arsenic...... Arsenic...... It's me...... It's me...... I'm going to eat it myself...... And...... ...... with Sister Xiang Irrelevant ......"
Everyone was glaring at her with a "are you kidding" expression. She gasped for a moment, then continued, "We...... Their...... Housework...... You guys...... Irrelevant...... No...... Leave it alone! ”
Zhao Xiu suddenly felt very funny: "You said you want to take poison yourself?" Why? She didn't believe that Niu would commit suicide one day.
Niu replied: "Rumors...... ......"The rumors about their ancestors and grandchildren outside can be used to take advantage of it, and it is not uncommon for serious women to be told such gossip that they can't see it and want to commit suicide."
Zhao Wei looked at her lightly: "Then how did the arsenic come about?" Does Zhao Xiang know? Don't think you can fool the past, you have been in a coma for several days, and you have long been unconscious, how can you take arsenic? ”
Niu was desperately trying to figure out how to prevaricate the past, but his mind was already a piece of mush, and the excuse he came up with was so fake that people couldn't look at it directly: "Yes...... It's my name girl...... Go buy ......"
Pei'er was excited, and subconsciously said, "The slave didn't buy this!" ”
Zhao Qixuan also interjected on the side: "What day did you buy it?" Where to buy? Ordinary pharmacies don't dare to sell these kinds of things lightly, but anyone who sells them to will be recorded. You name it, let's look it up, and we'll find out. Otherwise, how can the people present believe it? ”
Niu glared at Pei'er, and then at Zhao Qixuan. Zhao Xiang was in a hurry, why did grandmother lie about this kind of thing? It was left by the previous tenant and had nothing to do with them. They could even say that they had never used the medicine at all. The excuse that he bought it himself made a mess of things!
Niu stared at everyone for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a good excuse, and when he saw his granddaughter's anxious face, he didn't think so, so he simply broke the can: "Anyway...... Not with you...... Nothing to do with you! ”
The Niu clan actually wanted to shield Zhao Xiang, and everyone was eye-opening. Zhao Ying shook his head and stood up: "I don't bother to care about such a farce." Brother Wei, let her go. She wants to die herself, so why should we stop her? ”
Zhao Xiu asked Niu directly: "Have you thought clearly." If you insist on protecting Zhao Xiang, when we leave, only your ancestors and grandchildren are in this courtyard, you are so sick that you are alive and dead, God knows what else she will do to you? When the time comes, we'll never show up again. Do you really think it doesn't matter? ”
Without waiting for Niu's answer, Zhao Xiang first threw himself at his grandmother's feet and cried: "The granddaughter's filial piety to her grandmother can be expressed!" The granddaughter would never dare to disobey her grandmother. Everything was a misunderstanding in the past, ask your grandmother to save your granddaughter! Your granddaughter will be filial to you in the future! ”
Niu's heart was naturally a little scared, but when she saw Zhao Xiang's frightened look, she felt that the other party was as useless as ever. At first, she didn't watch out, but now she has vigilance, and she has such a big handle in her hand, so many Zhao clan people know about today's events, once there is an abnormality, Zhao Xiang will die without a place to be buried, what else is she afraid of? As long as she saves Zhao Xiang's life from these people, from now on, Zhao Xiang will be a worm in her hands, she told her to go east, she didn't dare to go west, she told her to go to Dao Mountain, she didn't dare to go to the sea of fire, otherwise it would be the end of being imprisoned and beheaded!
Therefore, when Niu answered Zhao Xiu's question, he was very confident: "My granddaughter...... Nature...... Nature is filial! Unbelief...... Wait and see! If she ...... If she really dared...... Disobedience, you ...... You will be punished again...... It's not too late to punish her! ”
As soon as she said this, whether it was Zhao Xiu or Zhao Wei, even Zhao Qixuan and Zhao Jin, as well as Imperial Doctor Jiang who was standing on the side to watch the show, understood her intentions. Is he planning to use poisoning to threaten Zhao Xiang's obedience? But Jiannanhou Mansion specially called so many people to come today, and exposed Zhao Xiang's crimes in public, would he be led by the nose of the Niu family so easily?
Zhao Wei frowned: "Since you plan to protect your granddaughter, this marquis is too lazy to meddle in things." lest the government sue her, but you have to say that you took poison by yourself, so you don't have to toss. It's just that this Hou Ye said ugly things in the front, you shield her once today, and if you suffer any losses in the future, it has nothing to do with my Zhao family. When you die, we won't stand up for you, we won't do your funeral, and we won't adopt your granddaughter. You'd better think it through! ”
Niu hesitated for a moment, Zhao Xiang hugged her thigh tightly, and pleaded with a face: "Grandmother, grandmother, granddaughter will be filial to you for the rest of your life, no matter what you ask your granddaughter to do, granddaughter will do it." Your granddaughter will give you a pension and will never let your grandmother send someone under the fence. The granddaughter does what she says, and the granddaughter can swear ......"
Niu finally got a satisfactory promise, so he nodded to Zhao Wei: "I think clearly!" ”
Zhao Xiu sneered, thinking that this Niu was also a stupid person, but since she was disgusted with her long life, she could let her go. However, there are some things that it is better to do as soon as possible.
She leaned close to her brother's ear and whispered a few words like that. Zhao Wei glanced at her, nodded, and instructed his entourage: "Fetch paper, pen and ink." ”
Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, so Zhao Xiu said to Niu: "Today we will sign two documents here, the first one is to explain what happened today, with Imperial Doctor Jiang as a witness, and two cousins present to witness. Since you said that you took the poison yourself, then we will also write down your statement, and you and your granddaughter will sign their names and put red fingerprints. In duplicate, each side holds one copy for keeping, lest in the future, you quibble that there is no such thing, or shout everywhere that so many of us are coming to the door today to bully you, bite us back, or even ...... Your granddaughter may also falsely accuse us of poisoning you. ”
Niu was a little hesitant, she was worried that once this document was written, her granddaughter Zhao Xiang would have no handle. If there is really a good one in the future, how will she report Zhao Xiang?
Zhao Xiang wished that there was such a document, and the accusations were trivial, and the most important thing was to get out first.
Zhao Huai, as the youngest male of the Zhao family present, read the book again, brushed a few lines, wrote the text, and presented it to Zhao Wei with both hands. After reading it, Zhao Wei showed it to his sister Zhao Xiu and two cousins, and finally passed it to Imperial Doctor Jiang and the doctor who had just rushed back from the medicine. Everyone had no objection, so they copied another copy of the document and sent it to Niu's for her to sign and sign.
Niu Shi held the pen, hesitated for a long time, and then pretended to be weak and dropped the pen on the ground. She said to Zhao Wei apologetically: "I have been sick for many days, and I have no strength in my body...... Before the words fell, Zhao Xiang had already grabbed her fingers, pressed the ink box, and then pressed the fingerprint on the paper.
Niu glared at Zhao Xiang, and Zhao Xiang smiled: "The granddaughter signed her grandmother's name, right?" As he spoke, he signed it. She has been waiting in front of Niu for many years, imitating Niu's signature, which can be said to be vivid and real. Niu's eyes were about to fall out.
Zhao Xiu saw her expression and was a little funny: "If you regret it, you can say it directly." It's still too late to sue the official. ”
Zhao Xiang looked at Niu with tears in his eyes, and begged in a very low voice: "My granddaughter doesn't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!" Grandmother spared me this time! ”
Niu thought to himself: What if there is a paperwork? There are more people who have witnessed this today, there is no documentary evidence, and there are also witnesses, is she still afraid that Zhao Xiang will dare to poison again? Xiao Erfang is just afraid that she will shout, so what if she yells less? Thinking of this, she put aside her worries, held the pen hard, signed the second document, and put a fingerprint on it.
The two documents were passed back to Zhao Wei and others, and everyone present signed their names as witnesses. Among them, Imperial Doctor Jiang and the doctor are all outsiders, and they have their signatures, and they are not afraid of the Niu clan and Zhao Xiang talking back, saying that this is a conspiracy of the Zhao clan against them.
Zhao Xiu left the document signed by the Niu family, and handed the other copy signed by Zhao Xiang to the Niu family: "You can collect it yourself, in duplicate, and the other copy will be collected in our Hou Mansion." In the future, when you want to open your eyes and tell nonsense in front of outsiders, don't forget that this time there is evidence! ”
Niu Shi took the document into his arms, gasped, closed his eyes and ignored her, and only felt resentment in his heart.
Zhao Wei asked Zhao Xiu: "What is the second document?" He remembered that his sister had said that the first document was in duplicate, and it was evident that there was a second copy.
Zhao Xiu smiled: "Naturally, it's a letter of breaking off relatives." Grandmother said that Zhao Xiang's news was spread to affect his grandfather's reputation. But Niu wanted to protect her granddaughter, but said that we are nosy, so we simply don't care anymore. In fact, our two families should have broken off a few years ago, because someone went around preaching that our family was ruthless and unrighteous or something, so they didn't write down the paperwork. If they officially break off their relationship today, they will have nothing to do with us if they do anything shameless in the future. ”
Niu Shi was shocked and angry: "How can this be made?!" ”
Zhao Xiu lowered his face: "If you don't agree, then let's go to Shuntianfu and give the documents to the people of the official mansion to take a look, and the people of the official mansion will know that this matter has nothing to do with our Hou Mansion." And the residual poison on your body has not been eliminated, and there are all kinds of human and physical evidence. Let's see if the government will believe you, a woman with a bad reputation. What will happen to Zhao Xiang at that time, you want to go yourself! ”
Zhao Xiang has no good end, what hope does the Niu family have? All calculations will come to naught.
Niu's eyes were dark, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.
