Text Chapter 219 True True and False
"The old lady rested in the old lady's room, but only the old lady herself knows who is serving the master."
The crowd was in an uproar.
How can there be such a thing?
Old Madam Qiao was annoyed and angry, "In order to take revenge on your sister-in-law, you don't hesitate to use this means to slander me?" Say, how much benefit Zhang Cui has given you! β
Zhang Cui is Aunt Zhang's maiden name, which is very cheesy, Qiao Lixi couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, the folk woman has a conflict with Mama Gong, back then, Mama Gong was sold into Qiao's Mansion by the folk woman and her eldest brother, it stands to reason that Mama Gong hates the folk woman to the core. But in order to help her wife fix her favor and find a suitable child, she had to write to the women, promising money and benefits, and the women kept those letters. β
"Letters? Where did the letters come from? Even if there is, it is a forgery from you! Zhang Cui, you are capable, even the grandma next to me has been bought! Old Madam Qiao glared at Aunt Zhang.
Compared with her anxiety, Aunt Zhang is much calmer.
In stark contrast, everyone also figured out something.
It's just too unbelievable that the old lady dares to do this?
Even the old patriarch, who had calculated everything, had nothing to say.
What can he say?
At this time, favoring either side offends people!
However, the old patriarch did not give up any room, and when the concubine and the concubine fought for superiority, he decided which side to stand on, which was the most appropriate way.
The woman was not affected by Old Madam Qiao, and continued at her own pace: "Mama Gong asked the woman to find a baby boy to send over, temporarily raise it outside, and send it to Qiao's Mansion when the old lady gives birth. The woman spent five taels of silver to buy Brother Wen from a poor man's house, and sat in a carriage for more than ten days, and the rented house at that time was still the house that Mama Gong was looking for, not far away, just on the back street," said while pointing in a direction, "In order not to be discovered, the woman took the child without leaving home, and the food was secretly sent by the maid after the evening, and she sent three meals at a time, and the woman herself heated the leftovers to eat during the day." Afraid of being discovered, the old lady also sent the nurse over, which was the nurse who was 'specially' invited after the old lady gave birth. β
Use acquaintances, so as not to make extraneous branches.
Old Madam Qiao trembled, not knowing whether she was afraid or angry.
Qiao Siye had the heart to help, but when he opened his mouth at this critical moment, he was obviously weak-hearted.
Because Brother Wen was a little longer than the newborn baby, the old lady insisted on taking it with her, but fortunately, at that time, the old man was busy with business outside and did not find anything strange. The woman brought the contract that bought Brother Wen'er, which had the handprints of Brother Wen'er's parents and Mama Gong's handprints. β
Qiao Jinwen was shocked!
Didn't they all sell them to her, and where did the extra one come from?
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Qiao Jinwen's hand squeezing the handkerchief tightened and tightened.
"Of course, the old lady can also say that this is Mama Gong's handprint, and it has nothing to do with you," the woman looked indifferent, and even thoughtfully helped Mrs. Qiao think about it thoughtfully, "The woman originally thought that after this incident, the woman would be able to catch the line of the Qiao family, not to mention Feihuang Tengda, at least she could have no worries about food and clothing, but she was still too naΓ―ve." Now that there is an opportunity, the women of the people should naturally make good use of it. β
Qiao Sanye listened to the woman's words silently, methodical, and logical, it was impossible for an ignorant woman in the countryside to have the calmness that an ignorant woman in the countryside should have.
So, someone taught her!
glanced nervously at Aunt Zhang.
I don't know if the latter's calmness gave him confidence, and Qiao Sanye's anxious heart was temporarily calmed a little.
"Old lady, don't you have nightmares when you dream back at midnight?" The woman's sudden words made Old Madam Qiao stunned, "Old Madam, if you let the maid next to you serve the old man instead of you, and kill her when she is pregnant, won't you have nightmares?" β
"Nonsense, I, I ......" Old Madam Qiao's face was pale, her trance-like eyes seemed to see something, and she waved weakly in the air.
The woman smiled sadly, "That maid's name is Guiyuan, she is the maid who brings me food every evening, and she is also the second-class maid in the old lady's courtyard, and she is the most loyal to her wife." Mrs. is pregnant, afraid that the master will see the clues, so you open your face to the maids around you, choose and choose, and finally choose longan. It's just that longan is also a blessing, and he actually committed your taboo, and when you have a child, you can just find a way to send longan to Zhuangzi, and you will die without knowing it. β
"Nonsense! Longan died of illness on Zhuangzi, what does it have to do with me? "Old Mrs. Qiao is still dying," I specially asked the doctor to go over to check the pulse, she was in an emergency, and it was a serious illness, and the doctor was powerless. Thinking of the master and servant, I asked Mama Gong to bury her with her own hands, she has done her best to the end, you slander me with a dead man, what is your intention, even a dead man will not let go! β
In the face of Old Madam Qiao's righteousness and strictness, the woman smiled slightly, "Gui Yuan was indeed dying when he was sent to Zhuangzi, but it was not that he was seriously ill as Mrs. said, but he was tortured to death, and the large and small wounds on his body were hidden under the thick clothes, so naturally no one found out." The old lady asked the doctor for consultation, ostensibly to show her benevolence as the master, but in fact it was just to hasten Guiyuan's death. After Gui Yuan's fake death, you asked Mama Gong to confirm it, and buried her in the fertile field on the Zhuangzi, three months later, under the pretext of subsidizing the family, you did not hesitate to sell the only Zhuangzi under your name, old lady, if the woman is wrong, please correct it. β
Old Madam Qiao looked at the woman with scarlet eyes.
Everyone in the room was silent, the content was too shocking, and everyone was a little incompetent.
The woman said to herself: "The women have some friendship with Longan, and when the women live next door, it is the women who bring food to the women every day, and the women and the longan are acquainted." After the woman sent Wen Ge'er into Qiao's house, she didn't leave immediately, the woman was greedy and wanted to grab more handles in her hands and have more opportunities to enjoy wealth and wealth, so although Guiyuan was sent away in the middle of the night, the woman still saw Qiao's carriage, followed to Zhuangzi, found an opportunity to approach Guiyuan, and discussed how to escape. So Gui Yuan faked her death, and after Mama Gong buried her, the women dug her out and brought her back to southern Sichuan. The old patriarch, who can't convince the public with the one-sided words of the people's women, is he inviting people up now? β
The old patriarch was so angry that he couldn't speak, a simple division of the family could not be simpler, not only involving the events of ten years ago, but also involving the orthodoxy of the Qiao family, and even human life! If it is not solved, the basket will be bigger, and when the time comes, the Qiao family will be even more famous, and he will be unable to solve it if he wants to.
"The old lady still has a good figure, lest you say that the concubine is slandering you outside. Today, while the patriarchs and elders are here, let's make it clear in front of them. Aunt Zhang didn't give the old lady a chance to speak, and glanced at Mama Gu.
Mama Gu walked out of the flower hall and quickly led a woman in.
The woman stood respectfully in the middle of the flower hall, although her wrinkled face made her look much older than her actual age, her dark skin did not have any brilliance, and she was dressed like a village woman, but she stood there quietly, and her gestures were very regular and decent.
"Old lady, do you remember the slave?" The village woman spoke quietly, with a proper smile on her face, humility and respect, as she had been more than thirty years ago.
"You, you......" The old lady trembled and pointed at the village woman.
"It seems that the old lady still remembers the slave maid, and it is not in vain that the slave and maid have served by the old lady's side for so many years. The slave and maid always remembered the good of the old lady and the gift to the slave and maid. In order to give the slave and maid a bright future, the old lady insisted that the slave and maid serve the master, despite the fact that the slave and maid were engaged in the countryside, but when the slave and maid were pregnant with a child, the slave and maid were killed. If it weren't for the slave and maid's fake death, I'm afraid there would only be a cup of loess left at this time. Fortunately, the slave maid's life should not be extinguished, not only did she not die, but she also gave birth to the master's child. β
"Master's child?" Old Madam Qiao said funny, "Just find a wild seed and say that it is the master's child, is this to mess with the bloodline of the Qiao family?" β
"It's the old lady who messes with the Qiao family's bloodline, not the slave. The uncle is not from the Qiao family, whether it is an outsider's transfer, or the old lady is pretending to be pregnant and giving birth, the old lady concealed the fact after knowing that the uncle is not from the Qiao family, if it is not for the separation of the family today, it is related to the interests of the old lady and the fourth room, and the third lady will not say anything. It can be seen that in the eyes of the old lady, the orthodoxy of the Qiao family is secondary, and what the old lady cares about is only in whose hands the Qiao family's property is. Compared to the so-called witness of the Lin family, the old patriarch, our evidence is more convincing, right? Since the old lady can make a fake eldest son for the sake of profit, the slave has enough reason to suspect that the fourth room is also fake! β
"You dare!" Old Madam Qiao said stiffly, "What right do you have to doubt my child?" I gave birth to a child, I still don't know if it's true or not! β
"It's hard to say, old lady, why do you make us believe you?" Aunt Zhang fell into the well and said, "After all, in order to stabilize your position, you did not hesitate to fake pregnancy, and you brought back a child from outside to pretend to be the eldest son, won't you bring back another spare?" β
"Nonsense! The only fake ones are the long houses. Our four rooms are the concubines, you are an aunt, what qualifications do you have to question the authenticity of our four rooms! Qiao Jinwen shouted hysterically.
"Third Miss, don't come unharmed, you have collected all the things that the women sold you?"
Hearing the woman's words, Qiao Jinwen's heart sank.
The woman said: "Didn't the third lady buy those from the people's women to prove that Qiao Xingbang is not from the Qiao family? The letters between the third lady and the women were kept by the women. The third lady corresponded with the women a few years ago, so it can be seen that the third miss has long known that the long house is fake. β
"Qiao Jinwen!"
Old Madam Qiao roared.
"I don't know, I don't know anything!" Qiao Jinwen yelled hysterically, "It's you, you lied to me!" β
