Chapter Seventy-Nine: Investigation of the Case
After listening to the old lady's words, Wu Dehou also felt reasonable.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "In that case—"
In Wen's expectant gaze, Wu Dehou changed his words, "Then my mother will investigate thoroughly with me." ”
The old lady listened, but didn't say anything.
Qu Miaoling said: "Father, Miaoling has some thoughts about this. ”
Qu Miaoling motioned to Wu Dehou to retreat, and then she said: "Father, I don't think the words in charge just now are fake, and Miao Ling feels that this matter seems to have been done by the people around her grandmother from beginning to end, and the possibility of people on the other side of the private treasury doing things is relatively small, so Miao Ling suggested that all the people around her grandmother be dismissed and some reliable people should be sent to serve." ”
As soon as Qu Miaoling's voice fell, Wen's heart was shocked.
Qu Miaoling's meaning was clearly unknown to others, but she knew that Qu Miaoling was someone who wanted to get rid of herself, and she wanted to cut off her helpers in the Hou Mansion little by little. Those in the county lord's fiefdom are a stark example.
She has placed several eyeliners in the temple, and now, I am afraid that she will be broken.
Her years of hard work are also going to be wasted!
Wen's eye sockets turned redder.
Just now, Master Hou asked Qu Miaoling to investigate at home, if this matter really came to pass, where would she put her face?
Fortunately, the old lady refused.
But now, Qu Miaoling's move is undoubtedly a bigger blow to her.
Her eyes rolled, trying to find a way to cope.
But—
"Father, what do you think?"
Wu Dehou's face was solemn, he didn't care about the affairs of the inner house, but he was not a fool, he knew a little about the dirty things in the house, when the old Hou Ye was still there, his mother also fought her way out of the encirclement, and after having him, she gained a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion.
When he was young, he saw a lot of scenes of women in the house falling into each other's lives and deaths.
For these, Wu Dehou is tired, and can even be said to be disgusted.
"Mother, what do you think?"
Wen was suddenly shouted, and she was startled for a moment.
"What Miao Ling said is that there are frequent accidents around the old lady, and the concubine is also very worried, it is better to do this, there will be a group of slaves in the house today, and the concubine will definitely find out their identities and choose some powerful ones for the old lady."
"Miao Ling, then I'll leave this matter to you."
Wu Dehou made a final decision, Wen choked, and could only close his mouth tightly.
Wu Dehou and the old lady left, and Wen was still kneeling on the ground, and no one shouted.
At this time, Qu Miaoling came over, helped Wen up, and said by the way: "Mother, it's okay." ”
"I don't need your fake kindness!"
Qu Chensi broke free of the nurse's hand and rushed towards Qu Miaoling, he pushed Qu Miaoling away, like a little wolf cub.
"My good brother, I helped organize your birthday gift, will you repay my hard work like this?"
Qu Miaoling stared at Qu Chensi with burning eyes, Wen quickly pushed her son behind her, and she sneered: "Chen'er is still young and ignorant, Miaoling don't be surprised." ”
"Still young? But how do I feel, I haven't seen you for a few years, and Tatsumi has grown as tall as me? Is it still small? ”
"Hehe, hehe."
Wen sneered twice, "Miao Ling, your grandmother's affairs will be handed over to you, and your mother is waiting to hear your good news." ”
After she finished speaking, she took Qu Chensi away.
"Congratulations, you've won again." Jiang Jingjing said.
"What, envy? You can too. ”
"I-"
Jiang Jingjing laughed at herself.
"I'm not as good as you, I've faced against Wen twice, which time it's not that I've lost my body."
"Auntie, I'll give you a word, if people don't know, don't do it unless you do." After finishing speaking, Qu Miaoling gave Jiang Jingjing a look before walking away.
"Master, what do you mean by the eldest lady?" Hongrui asked.
"Maybe, you're reminding me?" Jiang Jingjing was also a little confused.
Following.
As soon as Qu Miaoling woke up, he began to prepare to clean up the house thief.
She asked Qingrou to collect the information of all the maids in the house, and she looked through them one by one.
After investigating the people in the mansion, Qu Miaoling began to investigate the people in the Hou Mansion Zhuangzi again.
Wu Dehou is determined to get rid of the spies in the mansion this time.
While the Wen family was busy with the matter of Qu Chensi's birthday ceremony, he asked Tao Lei to inquire about Qu Miaoling's courtyard.
What did Qu Miaoling find? How many more were found?
Wen's heart was anxious, but the Wanzhen Courtyard was like a bucket, and her people couldn't penetrate it, and they couldn't know the situation inside.
She panicked even more, and after Wu Dehou sent someone over to take all the ledgers away, the panic in her heart reached its peak.
"Master Hou, the concubine has been a housekeeper for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, you can't treat the concubine like this!"
Wen originally thought that the words that deprived her of her stewardship just now were Wu Dehou's angry words, but when the people around Qu Fu came over, she knew.
Wu Dehou is really.
She hurried to the front yard where Qu Fu lived to beg, but Wu Dehou didn't see her at all.
Ignored her crying.
Seeing Qu Chensi's birthday approaching, Wen became more and more anxious.
Without the right to be a steward, what voice does she have in that group of ladies.
What will the way they look at themselves?
In the past, she married into the Hou Mansion and was still a man with her head held high, but now her brother is the prime minister of the court, and she has to hold her head up and be a man.
She didn't expect that Wu Dehou would really be so unsympathetic.
After kneeling in the open space in front of the study in the front yard for an afternoon, all I got was the burning air that licked my skin.
Wen was finally carried back by Taolei and others.
After Wen was carried away, Wu Dehou received the news as soon as possible.
In fact, he was not in the mansion at all, and after saying cruel words to the Wen family, he left the Hou Mansion and went to find his friend.
was still messing with the Knowles, and the Qin cronies in the mansion sent a message.
"Master Hou, it's not good, Madame fainted on her knees in the front yard!"
"What!"
Putting on her pants and hurried to the Hou Mansion, Knowles also knew that the woman who was small and welcoming was the most pleasing, and she didn't say anything to let Wu Dehou stay, she also got up to dress Wu Dehou.
After stealing a few more fragrant kisses on Knowle's face, Wu Dehou left.
And on the Hou Mansion's side, Qu Miaoling heard that Wen had fainted, and she also hurried to He'an Garden.
Qu Chensi stayed in front of his mother's bed, and for the first time, his tears stubbornly rolled in his eyes, and they never fell.
It wasn't until Wu Dehou came in with Qu Miaoling and the others that he cried and pounced on Qu Fu.
"Father, mother, she-"
Wen Shi woke up for a while just now, and he had already taught Qu Chensi how to behave and how to speak.
He knelt down in front of Wu Dehou, and said in a miserable voice: "Father, my mother can't stand it, you take away the stewardship and want her life!" Father, be gracious! ”
As he spoke, Qu Chensi buckled Wu De's head, and his voice was very loud.
At least Wen, who was semi-unconscious in bed, listened, and his heart hurt like a pinprick.
I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf!
She endured.
Wu Dehou saw that Wen's face was pale, and he lay on the bed lifelessly. He was also a little unbearable.
But Wen's this time was too much, and if she didn't teach her a lesson, she dared to do it even more.
can't let Wen feel that with Wen Hongzhi's support for her, she can do whatever she wants.
Wu Dehou thought so, he said with a cold face: "This matter has already been decided, even if he says that the sky is broken, Ben Hou will not change his mind!" ”
Qu Fu flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave.
But he was dragged by Qu Chensi, "Dad, look at my mother, how pitiful she is, you can stay with her, okay?" This is the only request from my son. ”
Qu Chensi rarely called Qu Fu's father, but this time, he called him such an intimate name, and Qu Fu's heart trembled.
He pondered whether he left it behind.
Sitting on the edge of Wen's bed, Na Langzhong remained in the room.
Qu Miaoling asked about his condition in the past, and Lang Zhong knew everything and said everything.
"Mrs. heat stroke, the residual heat in the body flowing, coupled with restlessness and exhaustion, will faint, as long as you relax your heart and pay attention to medicine, you can be cured."
Qu Chensi came directly, "My mother's housekeeping rights have been taken away, how can she relax!" ”
Qu Miaoling didn't care about Qu Chensi's pistol and stick, she asked Na Langzhong to grab the medicine and decoction, and she stayed in front of Wen's bed.
After a long time, Wen's pretended to be sick and tired.
Wu Dehou was also impatient and had the intention of leaving.
But Qu Chensi looked at him with blank eyes, and said pitifully: "Father, is this leaving?" ”
Qu Fu had no choice but to sit down again.
"Miao Ling, you're also busy, let's go first, there's a dad here."
Qu Miaoling thought about it and began to leave.
"Father, mother woke up and let me know."
Wu Dehou responded.
Not long after Qu Miaoling left, Wen Shi "slowly" opened her eyes, and when she saw Wu Dehou who was guarding by the bedside, her eyes lit up, and her dry lips opened to the point of peeling, but she didn't mention the matter of being taken away from her housekeeper at all.
"Why is Master Hou here?"
Looking at such a weak Wen clan, Wu Dehou was rarely distressed.
Wen has been married to him for a long time, and the two of them have not stayed in the same room so calmly for a long time.
He patted the back of Wen's hand and said softly, "You're still sick, don't talk too much." ”
Wen's eyes turned red instantly, "Master Hou-"
The voice was tactful, just like when the two first got married.
This lingering tone made Wu Dehou seem to have returned to more than ten years ago, and after a trance, Wu Dehou's expression softened I don't know how much.
"Rou'er, you're good, aren't you?" Rou'er is the name of the two when they first got married.
"Master Hou, the concubine is in charge of such a big family, and the means are not ruthless, I am afraid that I will be bullied by my subordinates, and the concubine is like this, there is no way."
Seeing Wu Dehou's face softened slightly, Wen knew that her plan was working, and she secretly gave her son a look.
To the exit of the convenient obedient go.
After Qu Chensi left, there were only two people left in the house, and Wen pretended to be pitiful without any scruples.
"Master Hou, Rou'er has been with you for so many years, don't you know who I am?"
Wu Dehou, who fell into Wen's emotional card, froze.
Yes, the Wen family was so obedient and caring back then, and he was also filial and caring for the old lady, but now-
Wu Dehou's eyes darkened.
