Chapter 156: Bai Ning'er, a-stirring stick
As soon as these words came out, Bai Ning'er secretly hated in her heart, but tears fell on her face, she knelt on the ground busily, and said in a trembling voice: "The old lady forgives the sin, the lord doesn't mean this, don't hurt the love of mother and son because of the concubine!"
These words were extremely sad, which made Qin Xuan feel even more distressed, and Old Madam Qin glanced at her.
Bai Ning'er is different from Wang Wanqing, although they are both concubines, one is her niece and daughter, and the other is just a girl brought in by a small family, so on weekdays, Old Madam Qin looks the same, but in fact, she is clear in her heart.
Over the years, Mrs. Qin has supported Wang Wanqing intentionally or unintentionally, which really allowed her to seize the power of the family. As for Bai Ning'er, she still has some status in the second room, and in her place, she is just a pet-like thing.
Therefore, Old Madam Qin vaguely knew some of the movements that Bai Ning'er made on weekdays, but she didn't pay much attention to it, so she didn't know that the consequences of Bai Ning'er's tossing were so serious.
As soon as these people came today, she knew that the matter had nothing to do with Bai Ning'er. Now that it has reached the point where it is impossible not to investigate, I also complain very much in my heart that Bai Ning'er does not know what to do.
Until now, this woman still wanted to be coquettish, which made Old Madam Qin angry, and said with a sneer: "What you say is sweeter than honey, if you really do one-tenth, the house will not be uneasy because of you!"
Hearing this, Bai Ning'er sighed in her heart, and she felt more and more uneasy.
And Qin Xuan saw that his mother was angry, and he also pleaded: "Mother is angry, Ning'er, she doesn't mean this......"
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Old Madam Qin: "You shut up for me!"
This unsuccessful thing, he only knows to put his mind on a woman's body, if he can have half of Qin Yi's ability, how can the position of this Pingyuan Marquis not fall on the son born by his ex-wife!
The more Old Madam Qin thought about it, the more angry she became, she even scolded her own son, but the others didn't speak, Bai Ning'er lowered her head in fright, and didn't dare to let Qin Xuan stand up for herself.
Now she can see that she has provoked Mrs. Qin, and now all her hopes are on Qin Xuan, and it will come in handy at the critical moment, and it will be useless at this time.
And Liu Yueniang on the side just hugged a pair of children and looked at all this in the room with cold eyes. Whether they are pretending, or they really want to stand out for Chuan'er, she has stayed enough in this home. Chuan'er's accident made her see the true face of these people thoroughly.
Even though the sister-in-law is good to herself, but the big room can't always watch the movements of the second room, she has gone from being hopeful to being dead all these years, and the reason why she wants to check the truth of the matter today is just for the sake of the whole sister-in-law's face.
In this huge plain Hou Mansion, it has already made her feel cold, rather than living here in such a muddy way, it is better to make a good time, and when the time comes, she will take her children away, and she will have nothing to do with these people!
Liu Yueniang made up her mind in her heart, and looked at all this indifferently, letting the eyes of Old Madam Qin and Qin Xuan fall on her from time to time, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Although Old Madam Qin was reprimanding them, her eyes looked at Liu Yueniang from time to time. Being so angry today also means to show Liu Yueniang, who knew that this second daughter-in-law didn't react at all, which made Old Madam Qin very disappointed.
At the same time, she felt that this Liu Yueniang was embarrassed, which suddenly made her a little more dissatisfied.
However, she suppressed her emotions and did not show them.
After a short time, the subordinates were all brought over, and because Old Madam Qin said that they wanted to ask alone, they were called in one by one.
The first to come was the housekeeper in the courtyard, about forty years old, she was a domestic slave in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion when she was young, and was later pointed out to the subordinates of the mansion by the master, so the whole family worked in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion.
This grandmother's surname is Liu, and she is the most sleek on weekdays, so Mrs. Qin also has some impressions of her.
"Say hello to the old lady. ”
Seeing Old Madam Qin, Mama Liu didn't know what she meant, but thinking that in normal times, Old Madam Qin didn't pay attention to the third young master, and when she came over and saw the expressions of these people in the room, she felt even more afraid that the second lady would be unlucky.
Therefore, when Mrs. Qin asked her what was going on today, Mama Liu's eyes turned, and she immediately cried and said: "Old lady, please be the master of the old slave, the old slave is loyal to the house, and he is even more dedicated to the young master, who knows that after the second lady came today, she beat the old slave indiscriminately, and slandered that the old slave did not take good care of the young master, please uphold justice!"
As soon as these words came out, Old Madam Qin's face turned ugly, she grabbed the crutches and used some force, and asked, "You are telling the truth, you do take care of the third young master very carefully on weekdays?"
When she heard this, Mama Liu intuitively felt that something was wrong, but her words had already been spoken, so naturally she couldn't change it, so she gritted her teeth: "Back to the old lady, the old slave swore with his life, and he really was very attentive to the third young master." ”
"What a heart. ”
If Old Madam Qin didn't understand Mama Liu's mind at this time, it would be in vain, she had fire in her heart, and she was angry that these slaves would directly smash the tea cup in her hand regardless of the occasion: "You are so attentive, you almost took the life of my grandson, if you are doing your best, won't my Plains Marquis Mansion be harmed by such slaves as you?!"
This tea cup Liu Mama didn't dare to hide, the tea suddenly splashed and sprinkled her body, the thick one she wore in winter, the tea cup didn't hurt very much when it hit her body, the tea may have been for a long time, and there was not much temperature. But Old Madam Qin's anger made Mama Liu startled.
She was stunned for a moment, but after seeing the anger on Old Madam Qin's face, she instantly knew that she was afraid that she had said the wrong thing, and she didn't care about anything else at the moment, so she directly knelt on the ground with her head and said with a crying voice: "Old Madam is angry, the old slave doesn't know what he did wrong, please make it clear!"
Old Madam Qin snorted and said, "Okay, then I'll make it clear to you." Come, drag her down for me, and rebuke her with a rod. When will she remember what she has done, and when will she drag it in and talk back!"
As Mrs. Qin's voice fell, Mama Liu was taken out directly, and her screams sounded in the courtyard after a while.
Old Madam Qin ignored Mama Liu's screams, and directly asked someone to bring the second maid in.
And Qin Huaiyu walked to Liu Yueniang's side and accompanied the two children with her.
Chapter 157: Thank you, sister-in-law
Qin Hongyao's face was a little pale, but she was older, so she was fine. Qin Huaichuan, on the other hand, was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and even his fingers trembled a little.
Seeing them like this, Qin Huaiyu stretched out his hand, held Qin Huaichuan's cold hand, lowered his head and smiled at him, and said silently: "Don't be afraid." ”
Seeing the warm smile of the eldest sister, Qin Huaichuan's hands, which were still a little trembling, calmed down strangely, grabbed Qin Huaiyu's fingers, and used his strength.
Liu Yueniang smiled at her gratefully, and saw Zhuang Yuelan also come over, and said, "Sit down, I have to interrogate for a long time." ”
No one was sitting at this time, so Liu Yueniang shook her head and said softly: "No need, thank you sister-in-law." ”
Even if she tore her face, there was no need to sit down here, she could still stand anyway.
And Old Madam Qin also heard their conversation, and said angrily: "What are you doing standing, can't you sit on the chair here if you dislike the old woman?"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan hurriedly confessed: "The mother forgives the sin, but the son doesn't dare." ”
He sat down, and Bai Ning'er stood behind him, her eyebrows lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.
Zhuang Yuelan pulled Liu Yueniang to sit down opposite, several children also sat together, Qin Huaiyu sat in the middle, and two children sat on the left and right.
Liu Yueniang glanced at it and smiled gratefully. It's not because of anything else, the position where Qin Huaiyu was sitting just attracted the attention of the two children, so that they couldn't see the bloody situation outside.
This child, when he doesn't understand, only knows that he is arrogant. But when I got in touch, I knew that he was a benevolent and righteous person.
Old Madam Qin looked at this awe-inspiring seat, snorted, and said, "Continue the trial." ”
She took out all her anger on the servants, and if they didn't tell the truth after they came in, they dragged them out and beat them until they told the truth.
She had never used this method before, after all, Old Madam Qin had always governed the family with benevolence, and today's thunderous method was very effective, and those subordinates were only interrogated for three or four times, and they were all scrambling outside to confess.
At this moment, Old Lady Qin waved her hand and said, "Whoever wants to confess, then come in and say." ”
Hearing this, Bai Ning'er's body trembled, and she subconsciously looked out of the door, staring at the servants deadly.
However, in the face of Old Madam Qin's absolute authority, her threat obviously didn't work, so those subordinates didn't even dare to look at it, and directly said it.
From Bai Ning'er instructing them to deduct the third young master's food, to interfering with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then to deliberately letting the little maid take them to play with those unmotivated things, and even now, when he is only ten years old, let him look at those obscene and obscene things, and inspire him to lead him to the truth that is not a weapon.
From coercion to temptation, Qin Huaichuan was brought bad by these people step by step, and even frightened, he didn't dare to tell the truth to his mother, he could only be bullied by these evil slaves, and he didn't even have a chance to resist.
Hearing these subordinates say what they had done in the past, Bai Ning'er could still stand, so she walked out quickly, knelt down in the center and cried: "Old lady Mingjian, these things were not done by concubines, they slandered me!"
Now that everything has been revealed, her only hope is Old Madam Qin and Qin Xuan. Old Madam Qin saw that she couldn't be trusted, so she could only bite the bullet and refuse to admit it, so that Qin Xuan could make the decision for herself.
She cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, Mrs. Qin didn't eat this, but Qin Xuan did.
He stood up directly, raised his foot and kicked on the body of one of the minions, and scolded viciously: "Dog minion, who gave you the courage to dare to arrange your aunt like this?!"
The man was kicked and lay on the ground, and because he was hit by the board, he immediately rolled over crying and screaming, and the sweat of pain came down.
Qin Xuan snorted, didn't bother to look at him a second time, turned around and said to Old Madam Qin: "Mother, don't listen to these slaves talking nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with Ning Er, it is they who slander!"
When he said this, he remembered something again, looked at Liu Yueniang and said coldly: "Liu, you single-handedly planned today's affairs, what do you want to do?
Rao is Liu Yueniang has long been cold to him, seeing such a situation, she can't help but feel chills, she suddenly wants to laugh, why was she blind in the first place and married such a bastard?
I didn't want Liu Yueniang to open her mouth yet, but she saw Qin Huaichuan stand up first, looked straight at Qin Xuan, gritted her teeth and said, "Father, it wasn't instructed by my mother, what they said is true!"
Because of his years of prestige, whether he looked at those evil slaves or Qin Xuan, he trembled with fear. But now his father slandered his mother and shielded the wicked, which made him feel unbearable.
Even though he was ten years old, even if he was led crooked by his subordinates, the admiration for his mother in his bones was still there, so even if he was afraid, he had already stood up.
"You evil beast, you dare to talk back to me, and Mr. taught you these things?"
Seeing that Qin Xuan wanted to make a move on Qin Huaichuan, Qin Huaiyu directly protected Qin Huaichuan in his arms.
Then he greeted Qin Xuan and said, "Second uncle, are all your kung fu used to beat children?"
Qin Xuan's hand stopped in a hurry when he was still a few inches away from Qin Huaiyu, took a step back, and frowned, "Qin Huaiyu, what do you want to do?"
"Don't want to do anything. ”
Qin Huaiyu keenly felt that Qin Huaichuan's body was shaking, and his voice became colder and colder: "Second uncle, as an official of the imperial court, doesn't he even know the basic distinction between right and wrong? ”
These words were very sarcastic, which made Qin Xuan's face rise, and then he snorted: "I don't know like you as a child!"
I don't know why, just when he saw Qin Huaiyu's cold eyes, he actually felt like he saw his eldest brother for a moment.
is so fierce, it's really a crazy girl who was brought out by her eldest brother as a boy since she was a child, and he doesn't look like her!
Qin Huaiyu just sneered, lowered his head and coaxed Qin Huaichuan, too lazy to talk to him.
This happened in an instant, and Liu Yueniang also stood up after reacting, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Xuan, I know that you insist on trying to protect your favorites, but if you dare to touch these two children, I can't spare you if I risk my life!"
Seeing Liu Yueniang's appearance, Qin Xuan flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Ignorant shrew!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Old Madam Qin felt more and more angry, and said in a deep voice: "Give me back to sitting, is it your turn to speak?"
