Chapter 26: Tell the Truth
The Li family was very unwilling, unwilling that Mu Yunge would step on the faces of their mother and daughter to win the favor of the old lady, and they were even more afraid that Mu Yunge would take advantage of the old lady's favor to seize his rights.
Thinking about it, Li Shi flashed a few rays of light, and ran to the old lady's courtyard after dinner.
The old lady didn't like the stepfamily that her son married, and when she saw that she didn't even have a good upbringing, she didn't like it even more, but she said that she had something important to say, so she was patient and didn't drive her out.
"Mother." Li put on a very solemn expression, and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, looking at the old lady hesitantly.
The old lady was most annoyed by her coquettish appearance, and said coldly: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly." ”
"That's right." Li Shi felt the impatience of the old lady, and immediately didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, and hurriedly said: "You have been worshiping Buddha outside all the year round, I'm afraid you don't know that something big happened in the house, and your daughter-in-law doesn't dare to mention it, after all, if you count it carefully, your daughter-in-law is also at fault, and she didn't discipline it in time, so it caused such a big disaster." ”
Li Shi did a good job of foreshadowing, and then continued: "Actually, not long ago, Yun Ge and Lin Xuanqi were imprisoned because they did something wrong, and now they have escaped from prison, and they can be regarded as fugitives......
When Li Shi said this, he paused, took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe it on his face, his face was full of embarrassment and sadness, and he cried about his difficulty: "The daughter-in-law knows that they are fugitives, but Yun Ge is still the eldest lady in the mansion, if the daughter-in-law doesn't take them in......"
Li didn't say the latter words, but a sigh was telling her unbearability and difficulty.
The old lady looked at her pretentiousness, her eyes gradually became cold, and her words were as cold as ice blades: "So you came here to waste my time on purpose?" ”
"Ah...... Mother ...... "Li never expected that the old lady would react like this. She originally thought that the old lady didn't know, so she used this matter to hit Mu Yunge, after all, the old lady would definitely be disgusted with her for such a serious matter as escaping from prison, and maybe she would send them back.
But she never thought that the old lady would still be angry with her......
"As the head of the house, you actually let such an unseemly thing happen in the house, and you didn't send someone to suppress the matter, but you still made a fuss, isn't the county order your cousin? Do you think I don't know? Without your permission, how would the two of them have escaped from prison? Obviously, you can use some connections to deal with this matter, but you have to make such a mess. ”
The more the old lady talked, the more angry she became, she didn't care who was right and who was wrong, but it affected the dignity of the house, and that was a big mistake! So in her opinion, Li is even more wrong.
"If you are still like this, then you don't need to be in this family, your daughter is not well raised, and these things are not handled well, so what use do you have to come?"
The old lady looked at Li with cold eyes, and opened her mouth solemnly, full of warning.
Li Shi clenched the veil again, but he could only hang his head and said in a low voice: "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows her mistake." ”
"If it's nothing, you can go down." The old lady didn't want to waste any more time with her, nor did she want to see her again, so she waved her hand and sent her away.
Li was helpless and resentful, but the old lady was in one day, and she could only be controlled by others......
Mu Yunge and Lin Xuanqing didn't know anything about what happened in the old lady's yard, but soon the old lady sent her grandmother over to invite them over.
"Don't be afraid, when the time comes, you can just say anything." Mu Yunge Xu still didn't know what was going on, but Lin Xuanqing knew it clearly, and the Li family had never been a peaceful one.
"What the hell is going on with you two?"
The old lady took a shallow sip of the teacup in her hand, but her eyes looked at Mu Yunge and Lin Xuanyu very sharply, and she didn't even let go of the slightest change in their expressions.
The reason why the old lady didn't ask when she just returned home was because she wanted to understand the truth of the matter first, but now that the matter has not been investigated clearly, the old lady saw that Mu Yunge's child was better again, and just after listening to Li's words, she planned to ask Mu Yunge and Lin Xuanqing directly.
Mu Yunge only reacted to what Lin Xuanqi meant at this time, and it was only one thing that could make the old lady ask like this.
"Don't hide it from my grandmother, my granddaughter and her husband came out of prison, and the charges on her body are still there." Mu Yunge didn't want to hide it from the old lady, and besides, this kind of thing was not something she could hide, as long as the old lady sent someone to investigate, everything would be clear.
"Oh? What did you do? When the old lady saw her coming, she was frank, and she didn't care about him, and the meaning of scrutiny was much lighter.
"It's a long story, so let's make a long story short about the granddaughter, in fact, at the beginning, it was my mother's younger brother who committed a crime and hid in the house, and I found out, and he wanted to kill me, it was the husband who rescued me and escorted him to prison, but in the end, the husband was designed by someone to become a fugitive and was arrested and put in prison.
And when I went to investigate, I found out that someone had bought off the officials and hid my mother's younger brother. Afterwards I reported the matter and took someone to his hiding place, but it was already empty. The granddaughter was convicted of lying and was also imprisoned. ”
Mu Yunge thought about it in his mind and said everything about it, but he was very skillful in bringing some things from the Li family.
After all, the effect of what came out of her mouth was naturally not as good as the old lady's investigation.
Besides, she didn't believe it, the old lady really didn't know anything.
"Later, my mother felt sorry for us and took us out of prison, but she said that there would be no way to clear our name for a while, so we had to go back to the house and live first."
Mu Yunge said, and said: "Although this matter is caused by my mother's younger brother, my mother can't help it, after all, it is her younger brother." There is no way to do this flesh and blood relative. ”
Now that the old lady heard it from Mu Yunge's mouth, and it corresponded to the things she investigated, she thought that it was all the truth, and she couldn't help but be a little shocked, and she was angry and anxious in her heart at the moment.
And listening to Mu Yunge speaking for the Li family later, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Mu Yunge.
"This time I let you suffer, don't worry, since I'm back, I won't let you be wronged again, you can live in the house with peace of mind, and I will handle the rest of the matter."
When Mu Yunge heard this, she was immediately very moved, she really didn't see the wrong person, the old lady is actually cold on the outside and hot on the inside, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.
"The granddaughter thanked her grandmother." This time I thanked Mu Yunge sincerely.
