Chapter 8: Killing Chickens and Monkeys (4)

The old lady sneered, "Heh, there is no way to discipline? I don't think it's just that there is no way to discipline, I also want to ask you all the things recorded in this account book, is money important or the prime minister's mansion important in your eyes?"

Since the second lady entered the door, she has seen this woman unpleasantly everywhere, this woman is scheming, and she is by no means a good wife and mother.

Later, it turned out that the second lady not only had scheming, but also a femme fatale.

The prime minister had six aunts, the fifth aunt was the youngest, but her belly was angry, she was pregnant with a baby boy, and when she was about to give birth, she suddenly died of a blood collapse, and the child was gone.

Later, the old lady secretly verified that the fifth aunt was poisoned when she was pregnant, and the person who poisoned her was the second lady.

The second lady clenched her hands into fists, she flipped through the ledger, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it, "This ...... This ......"

She had obviously asked the housekeeper to destroy the evidence, how could there still be traces?

"Ah Fu is my person, and this ledger has a backup, just to have this day. The old lady looked at the second lady coldly, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

People have lived for a long time, what can't be seen through?

The old lady belongs to this kind of person, the old man was romantic, and the aunt who couldn't count it on ten fingers, they fought to the death, and finally died, and the exiled person was exiled, leaving only the old lady and the second aunt, that is, the current second old lady.

The second old lady has no quarrel with the world, and there are no children under her knees, so the old lady has no threat, so the old lady simply doesn't care about her.

So in terms of calculation, the city government, the second lady is still a big gap compared with the old lady.

The second lady bit her lower lip secretly, and the pain kept her sane.

Instead of being led away by the old lady, it is better for her to defend and attack, and blame all the blame on the housekeeper.

Giving up the chess piece of the housekeeper, there are still many chess pieces that can be replaced, and she has only lost one powerful chess piece, and it will take a long time to cultivate one.

"Old lady, you also understand that the concubine and the housekeeper are both from the Liu family, and it is very simple to move the vacancy made by the housekeeper to the name of the concubine. ”

The second lady was pitiful, and her tears kept falling, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"The concubine works hard to take care of the prime minister's mansion, the prime minister's mansion is the concubine's home, and the old lady's words really make the concubine feel cold. ”

When the housekeeper on the side heard these words, his heart was even colder, and he fell to the ground a little decadently, his face a little stunned.

Ling Yingxi, who had been watching from the sidelines, narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.

Is there still less drama to keep the big and the small?

But it doesn't matter, today she is mainly dealing with the housekeeper, and the most important thing is to hit the second lady hard.

The second lady wants to be safe?

"But auntie, the omissions in the account can already be calculated in gold, and the housekeeper doesn't dare to poke out so much no matter how bold he is. ”

Ling Yingxi didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and woke up the old lady.

The steward only deducted the moon silver, and what was recorded in the account book was not only the moon silver but also the money taken directly from the treasury.

The second lady's face changed, and her plan was disrupted, which made her a little flustered.

The second lady glanced at Ling Yingxi, who looked innocent and innocent, and a hint of inquiry and strangeness flashed in her eyes.

"You don't need to meddle in the housekeeper's affairs yet, and it's up to you to decide which is right and which is not. The old lady's meaning was clear, sarcastically mocking the second lady for pretending to be smart and clever.

The second lady's face was white and blue, and she was very good-looking.

The corners of Ling Yingxi's mouth hooked up a shallow arc.

The second lady glanced at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper understood.

The steward was reluctant to be a scapegoat, but he was helpless.

If he doesn't follow the second lady's wishes, the Liu family will definitely not let him go, and he will definitely be tortured to death.

Rather than this, it is better to take the guilt on the body now, and the rod is easy to blame to death.

After thinking about it like this, the housekeeper immediately climbed a few steps forward, "Old lady, the fact is as the second lady said, the slave is romantic, and he squandered a thousand dollars, not seeking to be able to fall lightly, but only to die happily." ”

The housekeeper took all the responsibility on his body with a word, and the remorse on his face, and the look of death as if he were home, made people think that what he said was true, and he had repented.

The old lady squinted, her hand holding the teacup tightened a little, and her fingers were slightly white.

How could she not know that the housekeeper's little bit of flowery intestines?

Ling Yingxi glanced at the housekeeper lightly, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"Zhang Yan, do you know that you have taken all these charges on your body, and you are going to be punished with a cane and thrown into a water prison after fifty years?"

After fifty years of cane reprimands, I am afraid that he will not die but also die, and when he reaches the water prison, the end will be drowned alive.

The housekeeper flinched a little, and the second lady glanced at him, and he answered again.

"This is a slave who deserves it. His voice trembled visibly, but it still showed the fear in his heart.

"Nope. A weak voice came, and Ah Fu, who had fainted, struggled to his feet.

"It's the second lady, it's the second lady who sent the housekeeper to threaten the slave and let the slave destroy the evidence, and the fourth little brother who is with the slave also knows about it. ”

Ah Fu glanced at the second lady and the housekeeper, and was not at all surprised by the threatening eyes of the second lady, and still told the truth.

"Oh, where's Little Four?" asked the old lady.

As soon as the words fell, a subordinate who had been hiding in the corner of the wall trotted out, and he knelt on the ground and saluted.

The old lady looked at the person, "You are the little four?"

"Yes, exactly. Xiao Si was a little flustered, perhaps because he had never experienced such a scene, maybe because the old lady had a compelling aura.

The old lady bowed slightly, "Can you hear what Fang Cai Afu said?"

"Back to the old lady, Ah Fu's words have been heard by the slaves, and the slaves can testify that what Ah Fu said is true. Although Xiao Si's voice trembled a little, it was not difficult to hear the firmness in his words.

The second lady's eyes rolled, she estimated the time, and was about to speak, when Prime Minister Ling Cheng entered Anqing Pavilion, followed by Ling Yanglu, who was wearing delicate makeup.

The corners of the second lady's mouth were inadvertently hooked, what about the old lady? Prime Minister Ling was able to sit in this position, didn't it depend on the Liu family?

Ling Yingxi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, daring to love that the second lady already knew that she couldn't defeat the old lady, so she moved reinforcements?

Prime Minister Ling Cheng was covered with dense fine sweat on his forehead, and he was still wearing a gorgeous official uniform, and there were still some wrinkles on the official uniform.

Looking like this, it should have been hurried over just after the next dynasty.

Ling Yang saluted delicately, turned to look at Ling Yingxi, her beautiful eyes were red, and the next moment there were tears, biting her lower lip, looking so pitiful.

"Sister, my sister knows that you have a deep misunderstanding of your mother, but your mother regards you as her own, sister, why do you want to hurt your mother's pure heart?" Ling Yanglu cried, like crying, crying pear blossoms with rain, wiping tears with silk handkerchiefs from time to time, which made people pity.

Hearing Ling Yanglu's words, Prime Minister Ling noticed his second daughter, he frowned, and the boredom on his face was self-evident.

Ling Yingxi looked at Prime Minister Ling's eyes neither humbly nor arrogantly, and her heart was calm and terrifying.

To be honest, Prime Minister Ling never cared about her.

When his daughter was born, he was supposed to visit, but his good wife closed the door.

When the moon was full, he went again, and the eldest lady said that the child was asleep, and it was inconvenient to see the guests.

He was so angry that he simply ignored them for several years, and at first he occasionally remembered them, but he couldn't pull his face to go over in person.

As a result, it has been seven years.

When he saw their mother and daughter again, it was because Ling Yingxi cut Ling Yanglu's hand.

The wound was just peeling off the skin, but Ling Yanglu was crying very pitifully, he didn't even ask the reason, and punished Ling Yingxi to the study to copy the book.

Then, Ling Yingxi kept getting into trouble, Ling Chengxiang couldn't bear it, and wanted to exile her, but because of the old lady's resolute opposition, he could only confine Ling Yingxi in the courtyard, out of sight.

But what Prime Minister Ling didn't know was that all the accidents were caused by his beloved baby daughter Ling Yanglu.

The purpose is to make her image in Prime Minister Ling Cheng's heart change greatly.

Ling Yingxi glanced at Prime Minister Ling lightly, and was in the number of courtesies, blessed with a blessed body.

"My sister's words are wrong, my sister is just doing official business and maintaining the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Ling Yingxi's eyes were innocent.
