Chapter 9: The Great Trouble

As soon as Shen Nianchu's carriage arrived at the general's mansion, she heard the soldiers at the door talking about happy events in the mansion, she asked Cui'er to ask for a while, and it turned out that Aunt Liu informed the mansion that she was pregnant today, and the general was very happy, and ordered to celebrate well in the evening.

It seems that God really helps me, Shen Nianchu is really sad that he has no chance to say this, and now his father is happy, and when he mentions his mother at this time, even if his father is unhappy, how can he listen to himself carefully. It's just that Shen Nianchu never thought that Aunt Liu would tell the matter today, and wondered if she would have to wait a few more days.

The group entered the mansion in a mighty way, and the little people next to them were dumbfounded, most of the people in this mansion were old people, and they had all seen Feng's mother, and they all knew that Feng's mother had been kicked out of the mansion, and they thought they wouldn't see her, but at this time, they saw her in the courtyard, and they were brought back by the five flowers.

There were also slaves who recognized the thin woman behind Shen Nianchu, who was the maid ring next to Aunt Zhang in the past, how could these two come together? Which play are these two young ladies going to sing?

As soon as Shen Nianchu entered the door, he learned that everyone in the family was drinking tea in the old lady's courtyard at this time, so he took the two of them directly to the old lady's courtyard.

Early this morning, I received a message from Aunt Liu's room, saying that Aunt Liu had been three months pregnant, at first Aunt Liu thought that it was because of physical discomfort that the monthly letter was postponed, but recently I found that there would be vomiting, so I wondered if I was pregnant, so I asked the doctor to diagnose the pulse.

The doctor said that Aunt Liu was three months pregnant, and now the fetus is stable. So Aunt Liu asked her maid to inform the general. The general was happy to know that Aunt Liu was pregnant, for so many years, Aunt Liu had been pregnant because of her weak health, and now she has a wish.

Everyone in the hall was talking about Aunt Liu's pregnancy and saying congratulations, but they were actually not very happy. The eldest lady now has a son and a daughter, and she has the support of the family behind her, even if Aunt Liu gives birth to a child, it will not threaten her status.

And Aunt Xu is different, she only has one daughter, if Aunt Liu gave birth to a son, then the status of her and her daughter is even lower, although on the surface and amiable congratulations, in fact, the heart has been turned upside down.

"By the way, why don't you see Chu'er?" Shen Bai suddenly thought of Shen Nianchu, and she was the only one in the family.

"Father, I'm here." Shen Nianchu heard his father asking, and hurriedly walked in.

"To grandmother, daddy, big lady. Ladies and gentlemen, please be in peace. Shen Nianchu saluted according to the rules.

"What are you?" The old lady looked at the few people Shen Nianchu brought back, and asked with some puzzlement.

Shen Nianchu asked the soldiers to escort Feng's mother to the middle of the hall, forcing her to kneel, while Caihuan stood next to Feng's mother, and the faces of the people in the room changed after seeing these two people. Shen Nianchu stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Please grandmother and daddy to administer justice for Chu'er." ”

Shen Bai said unhappily, "What are you doing here?" He naturally recognized these two people, it was Feng's mother who accused Aunt Zhang of eloping with others, and Caihuan was the one who escaped with Aunt Zhang.

Shen Bai loves this concubine very much, and he is sincere in bringing her, but in the end, he didn't expect her to use such a way to discredit herself, so she was sad for a long time before she came out, and now she brought back these two people, and she didn't intend to let him think back to the things of the past, how could he not be angry?

"Chu'er, when you were still young, there were some things you didn't understand, so don't ask any more." The old lady didn't know Shen Nianchu's intentions, after all, this matter had passed, and everyone was reluctant to mention this person.

"Please grandmother and father give me a chance to explain, I already know what happened to my mother, but my mother is not a person who thinks differently, she was framed."

"Framed? How is it possible, everyone knows what happened back then, how can you talk nonsense here. Before Shen Bai could speak, Aunt Xu on the side couldn't bear it, Aunt Liu was pregnant, which made her unhappy, and now she has to turn over the old accounts, if it really happens, wouldn't she and her daughter have no status?

"Aunt Xu, don't worry, if this matter is true or not, let me know after I finish speaking." Shen Nianchu looked at her father directly, she felt that her father should also want to know the answer.

Shen Bai hesitated for a moment and waved his hand: "That's it, you can say it." ”

"Mother Zhang did not elope with someone, but was killed by Feng's mother, her body has been buried in the mountain behind the Jingfo Temple with a colored ring, if my father doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to go to the cemetery to see."

Shen Bai felt a trace of pain in his heart, although he had never mentioned the Zhang family in the past few years, he would always think of the relationship with the Zhang family at night when no one was around. Now that I know that Zhang is dead, I feel an indescribable discomfort in my heart.

Aunt Xu was a little surprised, she didn't think that the Zhang family was actually dead, she thought that she had eloped with someone else. "Then, it could be that she died after eloping with someone else."

Everyone's eyes were suspicious, and Shen Nianchu asked Caihuan, who was standing aside, to tell the whole story. Shen Bai's face became more and more ugly, it turned out that he had misunderstood her at the beginning, and it turned out that he still had a child, all of which was gone.

Mother Feng's forehead was dripping with a lot of sweat, Shen Nianchu asked Cui'er to take off the rag from her mouth, Mother Feng begged for mercy one by one, looking at her like this, everyone almost believed what Caihuan said. If there was no such thing, Shen Nianchu would not have brought them to the door with such fanfare.

There was silence in the hall, and suddenly a teacup smashed in front of Feng's mother, the fragments scratched Feng's mother's forehead, and blood flowed out, Feng's mother collapsed to the ground in fright, and kept muttering: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life." ”

"Chu'er, you get up first." After a while, the old lady spoke.

Shen Nianchu got up with Cui'er's support and stood aside. Today, she wants to give her mother justice, which can be regarded as a wish of "Shen Nianchu", and I hope that the future life can be more comfortable.

The eldest lady calmly took a sip of tea on the side, this old thing will be turned out sooner or later, I didn't know if she was dead or alive before, and there was still a little jealousy in my heart, but now she is dead, and her own children are so promising, a concubine has no backing and can't make any big waves.

"Father, since this matter of my mother has been settled, I implore my father to thoroughly investigate the mastermind behind it." Shen Nianchu glanced at Aunt Xu and said.

"Behind the scenes? Are you saying that this was instigated? Shen Bai looked at Mother Feng with some disbelief, too, how dare a mother kill her aunt by herself? Besides, she is still the person she loves the most, if someone in the house hadn't given her the guts, how could she have done it.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai's eyes became a little sharp, he looked around at everyone, pointed at Mother Feng and said, "If you do what you do, say it yourself, if Mother Feng says it later, then the punishment will be different." ”

Everyone's faces turned a little pale, the generals are usually very gentle, and now they have not seen such anger for a long time. The last time I was angry was when Zhang disappeared. At this moment, everyone was so angry that no one spoke, and Shen Bai saw that no one answered, so he pointed to Mother Feng. "Say, 'Who commanded you?'"

Mother Feng looked at Shen Bai in horror, and muttered: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life." ”

Shen Nianchu said coldly: "Mother Feng, don't forget that you still have a pair of children, if you take on this responsibility yourself, I'm afraid that your children won't be able to raise their heads in the future, you should think about it carefully." ”

Feng's mother was stunned for a while, she knew that Shen Nianchu was serious, if she took all the responsibilities, she was afraid that it would be bad for the child in the future, if she confessed, she would be an accomplice at most, and she would not affect the child and her husband.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and crawled forward a few steps: "General, I said, I said, it was Aunt Xu who ordered me to do this." ”

"Nonsense! I didn't! How dare you slander me, you slut? Aunt Xu immediately became angry when she heard this, and she stood up hurriedly and pointed at Mother Feng and scolded.

"The slave didn't talk nonsense, I told Aunt Xu that my wife was pregnant, and Aunt Xu held a grudge, so she arranged for me to attack Aunt Zhang, gave me a deposit of 100 taels of silver in advance, and gave me 500 taels as a reward after the incident. The silver, slaves, and maidservants have all been spent. ”

"You damn thing, who made you fuck like that! Master, master, you have to believe me, I didn't do it, I really didn't do it. Aunt Xu anxiously knelt on the ground and explained.

"Do you have proof?" Shen Bai asked with some disbelief.

"Aunt Xu told me privately about the things back then. As evidence, the silver tickets have been used up. There is also an accessory given by Aunt Xu's side Yahuan. ”

"What kind of evidence is this, you have been in the mansion, you can get these things. How can it be used as evidence? Aunt Xu saw that Mother Feng couldn't come up with evidence, so she pointed at her and asked.

Mother Feng kowtowed fiercely and said to General Shen Bai: "General, in this way, only the slave maid has used her life to prove what she said." With that, he stood up and slammed into the pillar next to him.

Because Mother Feng was moving too fast, others didn't have time to pull her, so they could only watch Mother Feng crash into the pillar. The government soldiers on the side tested their hands and said that Feng's mother was dead. This sudden variable caught everyone off guard, although there was no direct evidence to prove that it was Aunt Xu, but Feng's mother's behavior of proving death was somewhat shocking.

Shen Nianchu didn't expect that Mother Feng would actually use this trick to prove that she was not the main culprit, now that the person is dead, if Aunt Xu kills and refuses to admit it, I am afraid that this matter can only end here.

Aunt Xu was also stunned by the scene in front of her, and almost forgot to scream. In this way, even if there is no direct evidence to prove that he did it himself, I am afraid that the general will have a pimple in his heart, and there will be a gap with himself in the future. But in any case, she has to explain that it is better to be disgusted than to think that she has done a good job.

Aunt Xu sorted out her thoughts and crawled to Shen Bai crying: "Master, I was wronged." This slut is deliberately trying to sow discord between us. Aunt Xu is pregnant, I really don't know at all. ”

"She has learned from death, do you still say that you are wronged?" Shen Bai said angrily.

"No, it's not like that. Master, if I really did it, why didn't I kill Mother Feng together? Keep her, in case she is found out and bites me back, won't I be able to say clearly? ”

Shen Bai slowly calmed down at the moment, it is true that Zhang's disappearance and murder were true, but Feng's mother said that Aunt Xu was the mastermind is still up for discussion, after all, if it was really her who did it, Feng's mother could have been killed together, and Feng's mother has not been able to come up with evidence, and finally directly chose to prove it by death, which seems a bit far-fetched.

"If so, she has a handle on you, isn't it normal for you not to kill her?" The eldest lady said on the side.

"Big lady, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense. If you really got the handle, I'm afraid you would have been able to find it out a long time ago. Back then, it was you who also told the master that let Feng's mother have a way to live. If you don't have a relationship with her, how can you help her speak? Aunt Xu looked at the eldest lady with resentment.

"Presumptuous, if I didn't want to protect the reputation of the General's Mansion at that time, for fear of arousing the suspicion of others, how could I do this? It's you, who haven't been well-intentioned. The eldest lady couldn't sit still, Aunt Xu wanted to push the suspicion down to her.

"Lady, haven't you always hated the Zhang family? How can you be kind? ”

"Enough! Shut up! Shen Bai roared angrily, there is nothing worry-free in this family.

The old lady, who had been silent for a long time, slowly stood up, walked to the middle of the room and said, "No matter who did this matter, it has already passed, and since the murderer has been punished, this matter is over." ”

"Mother?" Shen Bai looked at the old lady with some puzzlement, he didn't expect the old lady to say this.

"The beauty election is coming, if there is such a scandal in the house, how should your three daughters deal with themselves? What's more, there is no evidence to prove who in the mansion did it, so in that case, let's stop this matter. The old lady looked at her son with some distress.

She knew that her son's love for Zhang's was very deep, and it took a long time to get out of that relationship, and now that he knows the truth of the matter, he must seek justice for Zhang's. But now, the people are dead, and the living people have to go on, and the three children are innocent, so they can't be delayed.

Shen Bai understood the old lady's intentions, and was a little deflated for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Just do what my mother says, mother, my son will retire." ”

With that, he took his attendants and left.
