Chapter 26: The Breakthrough
The Ji family is hateful, but Hua Junyi is even more hateful. Jiao Niang couldn't hold back her angry heart, she wanted to ask him well, who gave birth to him!
Jiao Niang stepped forward angrily, "How can it be ended in such a hurry? Mother Li and her aunt have no grievances in the distant future, and there is no enmity in the near future, why did she kill her aunt." There must be a reason for everything, and it must be asked. ”
"She's crazy, can she still say it?" Hua Junyi flicked his sleeves and turned his face to the other side.
Jiao Niang's emotions surged, angrily crossed his side face, and shouted: "If you can't tell, you have to say that my aunt's life is not so casual and perfunctory." ”
Hua Junyi looked back, looked at her hurriedly, and lowered her head without taste.
Jiao Niang knelt heavily on her knees, looked up at Hua Jintang, and cried sadly, "Father, my aunt's body has always been healthy, and you must feel that her death is sudden." I also thought that my aunt's life was thin, and only a cold wind made her lose her fragrance and jade, and she couldn't accompany her father to die old. But now that I hear Mother Li's words, my aunt was poisoned by a traitor, don't you want to find out the truth for her and seek justice?"
Hua Jintang had tears surging in his eyes, and he pulled Jiao Niang's arm to get her up.
Ji's heart became more and more panicked, and he glanced at the second aunt anxiously. The second aunt came over and said, "I see that this mother-in-law's symptoms are like she is crazy and delirious, and she can't tell anything." Now that the night is late, the old lady and the young master are also tired, I think it is better to hand over this mother-in-law to Mrs. to take care of it first, and then invite a doctor to take a look at her, first stabilize her spirits, and wait for tomorrow Uncle will ask her carefully, but it is not bad for this night. ”
Handed over Mother Li to Ji's hands and everything was ruined, Jiao Niang was in a hurry, and the old lady opened her mouth at this time, "This matter involves the eldest lady, she is too late to avoid suspicion, it is really inappropriate to hand it over to her, if she becomes more stupid, or dies, she will be even more difficult to explain." ”
After a while, she took Mama Mao's hand and walked over, "It's better like this, I'll take this person away and settle down, and you will come back to ask her again tomorrow morning." ”
She took Jiao Niang's hand, "Good boy, don't cry, if your aunt is really killed, our Hua family will not sit idly by." He pressed hard before letting go.
Jiao Niang bowed deeply, "Grandmother is in charge of this matter, and Jiao Niang is relieved." ”
The old lady couldn't help but say, and directly asked Li's mother to leave, Ji's was angry but had nothing to do, so she could only watch Li's mother leave her palm.
She looked at Jiao Niang with a grim look, Jiao Niang slowly stood up, Yu Guang grabbed the sword she projected, shook her body slightly, and fell towards Qing Huan's body.
Hua Jintang saw that she fainted, hugged her, and asked Qing Huan, "What's the matter, is Miss's injury still so serious?"
Qing Huan said: "It was almost well, but maybe it was because Mother Li suddenly went crazy at night and frightened the girl, plus she was sad and frightened, so she couldn't stand it." ”
Hua Jintang was very pity, hugged Jiao Niang and sent it back, and looked at Ji deeply when he left.
Ji shivered, his hands into fists, and clenched ...... tightly
Hua Jintang sent Jiao Niang back to the room, stayed by her bedside for a while, and sat in the third aunt's room for a long time before going back.
As soon as he left, Jiao Niang immediately opened her eyes, and the tears in her eyes flowed irrepressibly.
"The girl pretended to be a ghost today, and I was scared even when I looked at it, but it scared Mother Li stupidly, and she made a clean move in front of the old lady and the old lady. Qing Huan sent Hua Jintang away, and when he returned to the house, he saw Jiao Niang sitting up, walked over and hooked up the gauze tent, only to see her crying, "Girl, don't cry, isn't this truth all revealed, and my aunt's revenge will be avenged soon." ”
Jiao Niang wiped away her tears, "I'm just poor aunt, I don't know how I died until I die." If it weren't for Mother Li's weak heart as a thief and leaking her mouth in Pudu Temple, we would have used her fear of ghosts to scare her into saying these words, and my aunt's death would never have been revealed. ”
"I really didn't expect that the eldest lady was so ruthless that she was the mastermind behind the murder of her aunt. Qing Huan sighed beside her, "And Mother Li, who has been serving her aunt for more than ten years, I don't think about it, hey, she can really do it." ”
Shui Xiang brought water to wash Jiao Niang's face, "The human heart has always been the most unpredictable thing, on the surface it is good to you, but behind the scenes, it gives you a knife, this kind of thing is not new in the back house." She comforted, "Girl, think about it, this matter has finally come out, and the eldest lady can't run away." ”
Jiao Niang was not optimistic, and shook her head, "We only have Mother Li as a witness, I don't know if we can force the eldest lady to admit guilt, if something happens tonight, then even this only person who knows the truth will be gone." When the time comes, the eldest lady will have a mouth, and there will be no proof of death, and she will be able to wipe herself clean. ”
"Mother Li is at the old lady's, and the eldest lady can't succeed if she wants to, and the old lady is worried that she won't be able to catch her. Qing Huan said.
Shui Xiang helped Jiao Niang lie down, "Girl, don't think too much, rest early." ”
Jiao Niang nodded, her tone mixed with tired helplessness, "Let's look at tomorrow." ”
The crescent moon outside the window is covered by a layer of ethereal black veil, which makes the thin moonlight dim a little, Jiao Niang lies on the bed, tossing and turning, sleepless all night, until the day is almost dawn, there is a little sleepy.
Early the next morning, the old lady summoned everyone over, and when Jiao Niang arrived, Ji had already arrived, she sat in the seat below, drinking tea leisurely, calm and relaxed, as if today's events had nothing to do with her, she was an outsider.
Jiao Niang slowly wrinkled her eyebrows, and a premonition of uneasiness was born in her heart.
After waiting for a while, Hua Jintang arrived, and the old lady asked her to bring Mother Li into the upper room.
"Last night, the doctor came and prescribed a tranquilizer, and she calmed down after drinking the medicine, so you can ask whatever you want. ”
Hua Jintang bowed respectfully to the old lady, then went straight to the point, and asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, you said yesterday that you drugged the third aunt to poison her, and it was the eldest lady who instructed you to do it, yes or no?"
Although Mother Li was not crazy, she was also in a trance, and slowly raised her head to look at Hua Jintang.
Her eyes were blank and distracted, her eyes were dark, as if she had painted two lumps of ink that had faded in color, and she muttered an inaudible voice in her mouth, "Three...... Three aunts, three aunts. ”
Hua Jintang saw that her speech was indistinct, and her face was thin and angry, "Say, is it true?"
Mother Li was trembling by his yelling, her pupils gathered, and she kowtowed tightly and begged for mercy, "Master, you spare the slave and the maid, spare the slave and the maid......"
The old lady turned her gaze away from her, turned her head sideways and whispered a few words to Mama Mao, and Mama Mao entered the inner room, and came out with a piece of paper in her hand.
The old lady said: "You don't have to bother asking, this is her confession last night, how to poison the third aunt is clearly written." ”
Hua Jintang hurriedly took it and looked at it, and Ji's originally safe expression changed suddenly, his eyes were firmly fixed on the confession paper, and his face faded to gray.
