Rong Linlin saw that Wei Qingqing really didn't take her life and death seriously, knelt down and watched Wei Qingqing's back disappear, before gritting his teeth and standing up.

Rong Minghuo walked out from behind her, looked at Wei Qingqing's departing back, and said, "It seems that she is indeed very rampant, and she doesn't take our second room in her eyes at all." ”

"Daddy promised his daughter, once Wei Qingqing she ......"

"But didn't she ignore you?" Rong Minghuo looked at his daughter, his tone was not very harsh, but his dissatisfaction was obvious.

Rong Linlin stared at him, looking at his ruthless appearance, his heart was like ashes.

At night, Wei Qingqing heard about Rong Linlin's throwing into the lake.

"Dead?"

Wei Qingqing was surprised, she clearly saw that Rong Minghuo was also there this afternoon, Rong Linlin was his biological daughter, even if he was innocent, he should not be so ruthless.

Lan Sheng brought the freshly stewed ejiao to Wei Qingqing, and then said: "The slave maid sent someone to see it, and said that it was fished up, and there is still a breath, but I don't know how long this breath can last." ”

Wei Qingqing leaned on the soft pillow behind her, Lan Sheng looked at her as if she was hesitant, and said softly: "According to the slave, this second young lady is not a grateful person, especially now that she is bent on achieving her goal, you are approaching at this moment, she is afraid that she will stick to you like a plaster." ”

"I know."

Wei Qingqing was not thinking about whether to help Rong Linlin. She didn't have so much kindness for a long time, and she went to repay her grievances with virtue, what she thought was Rong Minghuo's purpose for Rong Linlin to stick up.

"Since the second miss is sick, it stands to reason that we should have someone send some supplements." Wei Qingqing looked at Lan Sheng.

"The ginseng that the Queen Mother rewarded last time was good." Lan Sheng said.

Wei Qingqing looked at Lan Sheng with satisfaction, with her there, she spent a lot of money.

Soon, Wei Qingqing's mountain ginseng was sent over.

When Dow saw this mountain ginseng. was so angry that she didn't want to accept it at all, but the old lady who came to visit said: "Since she sent it, let's stay." ”

Tao Shi looked at the calm old lady, and then looked at the mountain ginseng, and realized it, but he was not at ease: "Mother, Lin Lin has only one breath left, I'm afraid he can't stand the toss." ”

"Don't worry, I have my own measure, Lin Lin is your daughter and my own granddaughter."

When the words "own granddaughter" were spoken, a little cold air quickly passed through the eyes of the old lady.

Tao was not suspicious, and immediately asked someone to accept the ginseng and let someone take it to stew soup.

Who knew that night, after Rong Linlin drank this ginseng soup, he began to vomit blood in a big gulp.

Both the Duchess and the Grandpa Guo were shocked that night, and Wei Qingqing naturally followed behind, looking at Rong Linlin, who was vomiting blood and clutching Tao in pain. Wei Qingqing's face was a little heavy.

"Lin Lin ......"

Dow was at a loss and distressed.

The old lady also had a dark face and instructed the doctor below: "Check! Give me a closer look to see who is so bold as to dare to murder the young lady of the Guogong Mansion! ”

The Duchess looked at the angry old lady indifferently, this is not the first time she has seen this technique.

Soon, the doctor found out that there was a problem with the mountain ginseng used to make the ginseng soup, that is, the ginseng sent by Wei Qingqing.

"It's you!"

Tao stared at Wei Qingqing with red eyes, and asked, "Why do you want to harm my daughter, what kind of grudge do I have against you, and you want to be so ruthless?" ”

When the words fell, a person who looked like a maid cried and knelt out: "Madam, it's all the slave's fault, the slave should have told Madame a long time ago, so that the second young lady wouldn't have thrown herself into the lake again and been poisoned." ”

Wei Qingqing calmly looked at their lively drama, but in the bottom of her heart, she felt a little pity for Rong Linlin, who kept shouting pain at the moment.

Being murdered by a loved one must have hurt even more.

That Yahuan quickly told her what happened this afternoon, and after saying that, Tao immediately looked at Wei Qingqing: "It's really you, you forced my Lin Lin ...... to death."

"Who said she was going to die?"

Wei Qingqing asked Tao.

Tao was speechless, and subconsciously looked at the old lady.

The old lady's eyes shrank, and she glanced at Tao Shi warningly, before she looked up coldly at Wei Qingqing standing behind the crowd, slender and thin, no different from the few women Rong Che married before.

"Do you want to deny what you said about Lin Lin's life and death this afternoon? Or do you want to deny that you sent this poisonous ginseng? The old lady asked coldly.

Wei Qingqing was about to speak, but the Duchess stopped her from taking a step forward and sneered: "What does my mother mean by this, she already thinks that Qingqing has harmed Lin Lin?" ”

"Conclusive ...... of human and physical evidence"

"Human witness?" Duchess Guo pointed to the maid ring on the ground: "Did she see Qingqing poisoned with her own eyes, or did she see Qingqing pushing Lin Lin into the lake?" ”

The old lady's face was slightly gloomy.

Mrs. Guo saw that she couldn't say it, and pointed to the doctor: "Where did you come from, since you know that the poison is on the mountain ginseng, such a big ability, you shouldn't be unknown in the capital, why has Mrs. Ben never heard of you?" ”

"This, old ......"

The doctor stammered.

Seeing this, Tao was indignant: "What does sister-in-law mean, but we actually hurt Lin Lin ourselves?" Lin Lin is my own flesh and blood, how could I be so ruthless. ”

Duchess Guo frowned, she also felt that although Tao was ruthless to outsiders, he had always loved his two daughters, so it shouldn't be like this.

The old man has not said a word, and he is making trouble here.

"In this way, you are going to protect your daughter-in-law. The harsh words she said to Lin Lin today are always true, right? She disregarded her family affection and forced Lin Lin to jump into the lake, even if the poison could not be proved to be her for a while, it had nothing to do with her, even so, it was better to let her go to the ancestral hall to kneel first, and wait for the matter to be clarified. The old lady looked at Wei Qingqing coldly, as if she wanted to see a little fear on her face. didn't expect this look to match Wei Qingqing's dark eyes.

It's not that she's calculating Wei Qingqing, but it's like Wei Qingqing is calculating her.

The old lady's face couldn't help but darken a little, but before she could speak, she saw Wei Qingqing looking at her and asked: "This mountain ginseng was rewarded by the Queen Mother, and she dared to poison the things given by the emperor. ”

"A gift?"

Tao instantly weakened his legs and looked at the old lady in horror.

Tao's reaction, the Duchess of Guo suddenly chilled, this poison was really hers.

Grandpa Guo couldn't help frowning: "Immediately send someone to ask for the imperial doctor, since it is a gift from the emperor, it must not be sloppy ......"

"No ......"

"Second Aunt doesn't want to save Lin Lin?" Wei Qingqing asked Tao.

Tao's face turned pale, and without thinking about it, he knelt directly in front of the old lady: "Mother, please, give the antidote to Lin Lin." This matter, in the final analysis, is a family matter, and it can't be messed up. "If you really make trouble in front of the palace, Lin Lin won't be able to live, and he won't be able to live.

She didn't want to take herself and her daughter for the sake of a Wei Qingqing.

The old lady saw that she was stupid and jumped out by herself, and wanted to cover up the past, but Rong Fangfang also knelt down crying on one side: "Grandmother." Look at the second sister, she is so uncomfortable, you can give her the antidote, please. ”

Having said all this, if the people present have not understood what is going on, they will really be blind.

Mrs. Guogong looked back at the old Guogong, the old Guogong knew what she meant, and it had reached this point, and he insisted on not separating the family, and there seemed to be no reason for him.

"It seems that Mother can handle the matter here, so we won't stay longer."

The old man coughed twice, and then led everyone out.

When Wei Qingqing left, she also looked back at Tao and Rong Fangfang, and then left.

After coming out, the Duchess happily pulled Wei Qingqing and praised: "Thanks to you being a smart person, but I really didn't expect the second room to do such a thing." ”

"Maybe it's just ......"

"Perhaps?" The Duchess immediately interrupted Grandpa Guo's words and looked at him mercilessly: "If someone hadn't been conniving, the Duchess Mansion would not have killed so many lives in vain over the years." ”

The old man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, Wei Qingqing looked at him and stopped, and knew that there were some things that were inconvenient for him to know, so he retired first.

Coming out of the corridor, Wei Qingqing could still vaguely hear the loud questioning of the Duchess and the low flattery of the Duchess Guo.

Lan Sheng saw that Wei Qingqing's mood was not high, and asked her, "Miss is still worried about the second room?" ”

"Don't worry. They are just trying to solve me like they did the first few ladies of the second master. Wei Qingqing said.

"It's all here, how can Grandpa Guo still ......?"

"Maybe there's something unspeakable." Wei Qingqing couldn't guess it for a while, but the big house tolerated the second room for so many years, and it must not be just for the so-called family affection.

However, after today's incident, the second room will be divided, which can be regarded as a joy.

The next day, Grandpa Guo found the elders of the clan to call the shots and separated from the second room.

Tao's eating appearance on the silver money was very ugly, and the Guogong Mansion was also generous, and distributed the shop Zhuangzi and most of the silver money on the bright side to them, and in the afternoon, the people in the second room moved out of Yuqian Lane.

As soon as the people in the second room moved out, the Guogong Mansion was immediately cleaned, but the old lady insisted that she was a serious lady and should live in this Guogong Mansion, and refused to move away with the people in the second room. continued to stay, and also ordered that Wei Qingqing would go to the province in the future.

When the Duchess came to tell Wei Qingqing this, she was full of anger.

Although she is an elder, it is not the first time that she has done the thing of relying on the old and selling the old. In the past, when your father-in-law was not in the house, I didn't see her like this, but now as soon as your father-in-law comes back, he begins to pick you and me up. ”

"Mother, don't worry." Wei Qingqing asked people to bring the tea to clear the liver fire, and said with a smile: "The old lady just wants to toss me." ”

After speaking, the Duchess of Chaoguo winked, how could she be willing to suffer?

Seeing her like this, the Duchess paused slightly, and then laughed: "If it weren't for your weak willow and wind appearance, I would have thought that you were my daughter who grew up in the northwest. ”

"Mother is overrated." Her temperament was also tempered.

"Qingqing, you only keep her life at that time, don't make her angry, the rest have your mother to support you, it's really not okay and Archer, if your father-in-law gets angry at that time, your mother will take you out of the house and don't live with him!"

After the Duchess finished speaking heroically, she went back neatly.

Lan Zhi came in from outside and saw the departing Duchess of Guo. couldn't help laughing: "Looking at Madame's appearance, I thought she had just won the battle." ”

Wei Qingqing's eyes were crooked, there was such a mother-in-law, she really didn't think about it.

Speaking of my mother-in-law, I haven't heard much about Mrs. Zhang recently.

Wei Qingqing counted with her fingers, no, as soon as the seasons change, Mrs. Zhang will have to change into the latest and most expensive autumn clothes.

In previous years, when Wei Qingqing was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Zhang had to make eight sets of autumn clothes. It does not include two sets of imperial clothes that are in line with her status as a lady, four sets of black and white Suzhou embroidered clothes that go around under the archway of chastity, a number of jewels and four baskets of copper coins, which are used to distribute to the beggars around her in mid-September, in order to win a good name, so that these people can write a 10,000-character book for her and erect a monument to praise her.

Wei Qingqing has been doing this for more than ten years. The people around it have long been regarded as a fixed festival.

The annual expenditure on this matter is no less than 30,000 taels, and it is rising every year.

Although Wei Qingqing did it almost perfectly every time, Mrs. Zhang could find a reason to scold her.

"Did you tell Xiangye?"

At this moment, Mrs. Zhang is also thinking about this matter, although the identity of the edict and the archway of chastity are gone, but a few days ago, the 10,000-character book and the monument that has been spontaneously erected by the people have been sent, just waiting for the day to come, she will go to scatter money as usual.

"I said it, but Xiangye said......" Mama Cao looked at Mrs. Zhang in embarrassment: "There is not so much spare money in the house." ”

"Spare money?"

Old Madam Zhang's serious face suddenly became angry, and she wanted to open her mouth to scold Wei Qingqing, but she realized that Wei Qingqing had already been burned to death by herself.

He closed his mouth before asking, "How much silver is left in the house?" ”

"Where is there any silver?" Mama Cao muttered, seeing Mrs. Zhang's unkind eyes, she hurriedly changed her words: "The house is now Aunt Jiang's housekeeper, and now this Aunt Jiang is very good, every money has been asked to the master before it is sent down, the monthly example of our yard, when Mrs. was in the past, there were two hundred taels in a month, not including the regular clothes and food silver of everyone in the four seasons." And now, Aunt Jiang will give twenty taels, including everyone's food and drink. ”

Speaking of this, Mama Cao also complained.

Mrs. Zhang frowned, and Mama Cao couldn't help but think of Wei Qingqing's good come: "In the past, when Madame was there, not to mention the side, there was no shortage of money to eat and drink......

"Okay, we are the home of poetry and books, and you don't mention the people and things that are contaminated with the smell of copper!" Old Madam Zhang was dissatisfied.

Mama Cao gritted her teeth, she couldn't eat anything, what kind of poetry and book house did she say? If it is really the home of poetry and books. There won't be so many ugly things that lowly people won't make a fuss.

Mama Cao's disdainful old lady Zhang didn't see it, she only remembered the scattered wealth in a few days.

This is her last face......

As he was talking, someone outside asked to see him.

"Old lady, it's a merchant's woman who said that she has admired the old lady for a long time, and wants to give you the money for September 15." The mother-in-law who talked back and forth was excited.

Old Madam Zhang was also slightly surprised, and immediately calmed down, and said with a serious face: "It's not that I'm short of money, but since she has this heart, I can't live up to it, please let her in." ”

"Yes!"

The mother-in-law immediately went down to ask for someone.

Rong Ruizhang didn't know what was going on with Mrs. Zhang yet, just the group of poor relatives brought back by Aunt Wen was enough for him to have a headache, and he couldn't just beat them out, but he didn't want to deal with these people at all.

Aunt Wen knelt in front of Rong Ruizhang with her daughter, and Ai Ai didn't dare to speak out.

Rong Ruizhang looked at her, she hadn't seen her in a short period of time, and she had gained a lot of weight. Aunt Wen was originally a plump beauty, but now that she is fat, she has completely lost her plump and moving, and only greasy remains.

The face that used to be as white as clotted fat has become dull and sallow, and the powder on the face has floated, and it looks very inferior, just like those secret prostitutes who serve the peddlers and pawns in the streets.

"Xiangye ......"

Aunt Wen also saw Rong Ruizhang's dislike for her, and hurriedly explained: "The concubine can't eat and sleep well these days, so it's like this, and the concubine is ......."

"Alright."

Rong Ruizhang didn't want to believe that this was a beautiful woman who had been so hurt that he was knowledgeable and reasonable, he looked at Aunt Wen who was like a village woman in the countryside, and said coldly: "I'll give you half a day to drive all your poor relatives back." ”

If Aunt Wen can drive them back, she won't have to leave the house quietly and use her own money to coax them all in the inn.

These people are all Diao people raised by poor mountains and bad waters, and they are not reasonable at all, and this time I don't know who coaxed them to Beijing, and they have already calculated one by one, and they will not go back if they don't fill their pockets.

"Xiangye, the concubine is incompetent, Xiangye might as well give them some silver." Aunt Wen proposed her own solution, Rong Ruizhang was annoyed, and remembered that Aunt Wen had secretly given his most valuable shops to the Wen family before, and she was even more furious, and even said: "Come on, pull this slut down and punish eighty with a cane!" ”

Eighty!

Eighty sticks down, Aunt Wen's life will be gone!

Aunt Wen was frightened, and hurriedly cried and begged for mercy, and did not forget to pull the daughter she gave birth to Rong Ruizhang, but Rong Ruizhang was not a soft-hearted person, so she waved her hand directly and asked her to pull her down, and looked at Aunt Jiang deeply.

Aunt Jiang came out at this time, hugged the crying Aunt Wen's daughter, and proposed to Rong Ruizhang: "In this case, it is better for Xiangye to report to the official, and only tell the government that he doesn't know these people at all, and Aunt Wen doesn't have these relatives." ”

Rong Ruizhang looked at Aunt Wen, who was taking care of her daughter, and hesitated, indeed, this seems to be the best way at the moment.

After thinking about it, he waved his hand and called someone to do it.

In the afternoon, all of them were taken to the government, and he did not notice the slightest mistake.
