Chapter 230: Let you know what life is better than death

Seeing Tang Jingchen, Zhang's mother was stunned, and then stood up and wanted to escape.

However, this shack is crowded, and it is troublesome to take two steps, let alone run, and Zhang's mother can't get out at all.

And Tang Jingchen is not what she used to be, seeing her intentions, she grabbed her arm quickly, and said in a deep voice: "I came out to find you, don't want to hide, I still have a lot to ask you." ”

In fact, Tang Jingchen was not sure that this was Zhang's mother at first, because the changes were too great, and she really couldn't connect the poor old woman in front of her with the female housekeeper of the Tang family in the past.

So she just cheated, if Zhang's mother denied it, she would only think that she recognized the wrong person, but Zhang's mother was not determined enough, and she didn't have much heart, and she immediately wanted to run away when she saw the old master, which was equivalent to admitting it in disguise.

"Miss, mother, the slave doesn't know anything, you spare the slave." Zhang's mother suddenly knelt down and began to kowtow, she cried in a hoarse voice, which alarmed many people, and they all turned their dull eyes to look over.

Tang Jingchen hated it very much in her heart, this mother Zhang is not a person who doesn't understand the rules, but she still doesn't care about breaking her identity, what does she want to do?

She rarely threatens people, but at this time she made an exception, "If you don't want to die, you'd better tell me everything, or I'll let you know what life is better than death!" ”

Zhang's mother is really afraid, the eldest lady is the master, and she is the mother, it is easier to kill her than to kill an ant, and the methods of rectifying people in the palace, Zhang's mother has heard of it, in the past, she just felt that it was better to be a slave in the palace than to be outside, but at this time she has to face these.

She experienced nine deaths in her life, and she was already frightened to see her husband, son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren die in front of her eyes.

Through Zhang's mother's narration, Tang Jingchen knew what happened to Chunlan's family.

It turned out that as early as last year, when she was just pregnant, someone came to Tang's house, claiming to be a distant relative of Chunlan's father, saying that she had made some money in business, and asked to redeem Chunlan's family.

Chunlan's father didn't know the relatives who fell from the sky, but he couldn't doubt it, because if it wasn't a real relative, who would be willing to take a large amount of money to spend on others? And the relative said that because he had received the favor of Grandpa Chunlan, he came to repay the favor.

The most important thing is that the relative told them that after the redemption, they will no longer be slaves, and their grandson will be able to read and write, and have the opportunity to go to school, even if they only take the exam, their family will be turned over.

The rules of the Qing Dynasty, the slave is redeemed, and the third generation can take the imperial examination.

Looking at the lively and lovely grandson, Chunlan's father was shaken, he always felt that this child was smart and clever and was a reading material, but it was a pity that he was a slave, and now that he had such an opportunity, he wanted to find a way out for his grandson.

Tang Jingchen's parents are both kind people, so they gave the deed of sale, and they didn't even ask for any money, and apologized that Chunlan is now a palace maid, and she has to act according to the rules of the palace, and she can only be released when she is twenty-three years old.

The relative took Chunlan's father and Zhang's mother, as well as Chunlan's sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, and lived in a house in Beicheng, and also found a Luodi Xiucai to teach the Zhang family's grandson to read, and the family lived peacefully until the eve of the Spring Festival in the old year.

"I didn't eat that day when I had a bad stomach, they all died, even the teacher didn't let go, and the whole house died." Zhang's mother cried a handful of snot and tears, "I saw that something was wrong, so I quickly escaped, and I had nowhere to go, so I kept hiding in that shack." ”

Counting the days, it was exactly before and after I gave birth to a stillborn baby.

You don't need to ask Tang Jingchen to know that the so-called relatives ransomed Chunlan's family in order to contain Chunlan, until she no longer has any use value, and they are not allowed to live anymore.

"When did Chunlan know this?" She asked Zhang's mother in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Mother Zhang looked dazed, and then clenched the corner of Tang Jingchen's clothes, "Niangniang, eldest lady, Chunlan doesn't know, please don't be angry with her, she doesn't know anything in the palace!" ”

Tang Jingchen sneered, "She doesn't know anything, what did you run away from me when you saw me?" ”

Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment, "This ......"

Tang Jingchen's face was expressionless, "To be honest." ”

King Jiangnan has been by Tang Jingchen's side, but at this time, he suddenly attached himself to Zhang's mother's ear, and said viciously: "If you don't say it, I will take the life of your private child!" ”

Zhang's mother shuddered, and looked at King Jiangnan in disbelief, she didn't know the identity of the man in front of her, let alone how he knew this secret that even her husband didn't know.

King Jiangnan's smile became more and more gloomy, "He's still in Tang's hometown, right?" ”

Although it was a question, it was very certain, Zhang's mother didn't dare to doubt it anymore, let alone try it, trembling and saying something to Tang Jingchen.

It turned out that Zhang's mother felt that Chunlan's father, a so-called distant relative, was very suspicious from the beginning, but after all, her grandson was her own grandson, and she was also distressed, so she didn't object, but since she went to that house, she paid attention to everything, and finally found some clues.

Zhang's mother is not stupid, on the contrary, she is a little cautious, guessing that the other party may want to use her people to threaten Chunlan to frame Tang Jingchen, because their family only has this use.

And the fierceness of the harem struggle, Zhang's mother has heard of some of it.

However, Zhang's mother not only didn't think about reminding the old master, but thought about it, thinking that if she could do this big thing, her family might be able to get greater benefits, until the whole family was poisoned, she woke up like a dream.

Although she escaped, she was reluctant to die, she cheated in her early years, had an illegitimate child, at that time, Chunlan's father followed Tang's father into Beijing to catch the exam, back and forth for nearly a year, she hid it tightly, no one knew.

Later, Tang's father served as an official in Beijing, and her family followed her into Beijing to serve, but she couldn't take the child with her, and she has been worried about it all these years.

So she really wanted to go back to her hometown, but because she had no money, she had to hide in the shack first.

Tang Jingchen's later encounter, she didn't know anything, and when she saw her looking for it, she thought that the matter was exposed, and she subconsciously wanted to run.

After hearing this, Tang Jingchen didn't know how to react, she shook her head and said coldly: "You are to blame, and the death of the whole family is definitely not worthy of sympathy." ”

The king of Jiangnan asked, "Do you know the name of the person who ransomed your family, or is there anything special about him?" ”

Zhang's mother was more afraid of Jiangnan Wang than Tang Jingchen, he didn't dare not answer the questions he asked, and thought sideways for a moment and said: "He calls himself a distant relative of Chunlan's father, he hasn't said what his surname is, Chunlan's father calls him cousin." ”

"As for the special place, he is a man, and I am a married woman, how can I keep an eye on him."

King Jiangnan sneered, "You even have private children, so don't talk about these things." ”

Zhang's mother was frightened, and immediately said, "The little finger of his left hand is half broken." ”
