The two government soldiers brought the two mothers who were tied up, and the mothers saw that the family members were all there, panicked for a while, and stumbled to their knees, because they couldn't speak because they had a rag in their mouths, so they had to whine. The old lady glanced at them indifferently, and the two of them were too frightened to support them, but just knelt quietly with their heads down.

Gui's mother stepped forward and took off the rag from the two people's mouths, and the two hurriedly cried: "We have been wronged, please find out to the old man." "They were originally obedient to orders, and now they were discovered, and the master also said that if they dared to confess, they would make their relatives unable to stay in this mansion, and even threatened their families outside the mansion, and now they can only pray for the housewives to give them a chance to live.

"Two lowly things, the second lady is also the child of the general, how can she be so lazy? It's okay to kill people with such dirty thoughts, I think you're tired of it! The old lady Chen looked at the two slaves who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and was very disgusted. Although he doesn't like this granddaughter very much, if this spreads, how will others talk about their Shen family.

Mother Wang panicked and stammered and explained: "Old lady, we really don't, today, today we went to see the second miss, and found that the second miss's room was on fire, we wanted to go in to save people, but we were afraid that we couldn't save it, no, we thought about going out to find someone to help." We don't dare to do this kind of harmful thing. Moreover, is the second lady standing here badly? If we really did it, I'm afraid that the second miss would be long gone. ”

Mother Li on the side was already so frightened that she couldn't speak, and when she saw that Mother Wang said this, she nodded and echoed: "Yes, yes, we don't have the guts!" Moreover, it is a matter of human life, how dare we. "Mother Li is a coward, today is under the purging of Mother Wang, Mother Wang also assured her that she will not be discovered, she agreed, now this situation, how to be good.

"You don't! Hum! I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin, Mother Gui. The old lady saw that the two were still exonerating themselves, so she asked Gui's mother to come out and tell her what she had seen today.

"Yes" Gui's mother saluted the old lady, walked in front of the two and said: "Today, it is the slave maid who took the government soldiers to the courtyard, the slave maid and the government soldiers saw it with their own eyes, Wang Ma and Li Ma sprayed fire oil in the house, and then lit the fire paper, fortunately the second miss and Cui'er left the room in advance, otherwise. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today. Moreover, just now, the soldiers had already extinguished the fire, and found the oil drum brought by Wang's mother in the house. ”

"What a guts! You treat Chu'er like this, I'm afraid you don't want to live anymore. The young lady in this house is also something you can do at will? Guo Shi saw the time and hurriedly reprimanded the two mothers. She was disgusted with this concubine, but now that the whole family is there, she doesn't say anything, I'm afraid she will feel that the housewife doesn't love her children, but don't let those sluts catch her handle.

The two mothers were frightened, seeing this scene, Shen Nianchu knew that she needed to add another fire now, so that she could really let them know the importance of this matter, she motioned for Cui'er to help herself, slowly stood up, and then walked to her parents and knelt down.

"Father, mother, this matter was originally also the first child, please father and mother punish the first child." Shen Bai looked at Shen Nianchu with a puzzled expression, and Guo Shi was also shocked by this situation, but she quickly collected her emotions and hurriedly went up to help Shen Nianchu.

"Silly boy, what are you talking about? They are the ones who want to kill you, so what do they have to do with you? Don't kneel, I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself if you kneel again. ”

Shen Nianchu took Guo's hand, tears hung in the corners of his eyes, which made Shen Bai feel a little distressed, because of her mother's death over the years, she had been snubbed all these years, and she was a little sorry for this child. The mother's fault is also irrelevant to the child and should not involve her.

"It's Chu'er's fault, if it weren't for Chu'er's greed for food, it wouldn't have caused her mothers to be scolded, and what happened today wouldn't have happened. It's just that Chu'er didn't expect that my mothers would hate me so much, and they would actually kill me. "Just because you need to eat more? Just kill the killer?

Shen Bai didn't believe it, and the ladies only ate more on weekdays, so why did they need to find someone else to ask for it? And seeing that Chu'er is so thin now, it doesn't look like a person who has eaten a lot.

Shen Bai thought of this, and looked at Shen Nianchu carefully, now that it was autumn, she was still wearing summer clothes, and when she first came, she had a cloak outside, so she didn't look carefully. Could it be that these subordinates treat the first child so harshly on weekdays?

"Ma'am, what's going on?" Shen Bai looked at the Guo family with a somewhat unhappy face, everything in the family was taken care of by the Guo family, and now that her daughter has become like this, she must be questioned about her.

Guo Shi thought that it was not good, she also knew that these subordinates were mistreating the second lady, but if it was not too much, she never cared about it. In the past, when the Zhang family was here, Shen Bai loved this daughter very much, and later after the Zhang family left, Shen Bai didn't care much about this daughter, and an unfavored daughter naturally couldn't get her own care, and then she bullied her with these people.

But now that the master is accountable, how can he shirk it. Guo Shi pretended to be sad and said: "Master, I have done my best for this family, and I have done everything according to the rules for the food and clothing of these two young ladies." ”

Then she stared at the two mothers, gritted her teeth and said: "It must be these cheap and dirty things, seeing that the second lady is pitiful, so she tramples them and deducts their food and clothing." ”

When the two mothers heard this, they were so frightened that they hurriedly kowtowed to ask for help, these things are not done by the two of them, the people in this house are deducting, there is not much left to them, and they only took a little, but they dare not say this, after all, their own family is still in this mansion, if they really say it, I am afraid that it will affect them.

Shen Bai glanced at Guo Shi with annoyance, Guo Shi suddenly felt a little aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say it directly, after all, she was in charge of this family now, and she was naturally the first to think of her when something happened. Seeing Guo's so aggrieved appearance, Aunt Xu on the side seemed very happy, since she entered the door, this Guo family has always pressed herself by relying on her identity as a housewife, which has made her suffer a big loss.

At this time, the old lady spoke: "If you want to kill people just because of food and clothing, I'm afraid it's a bit far-fetched, Chu'er is still too young, I'm afraid that someone in the house can't tolerate you." Shen Nianchu looked at the old lady with some doubts, the old lady in her memory was generally not happy to take care of these things, why did she help her so much today?

Shen Bai thought about it and felt that what his mother said was reasonable, she was harsh on her diet, and she also hurt the killer, these two old mothers should not have so much courage, unless someone instructed them. Shen Bai coughed and asked with some displeasure, "Did you two recruit yourself, or did I ask them to recruit for you?" ”

The two mothers were frightened when they heard this, kowtowed and asked for guilt, Gui's mother saw that the two of them did not admit whether they were alive or dead, so she asked the soldiers to beat the two down and torture them, and the two mothers were struggling and shouting grievances, which made people extremely tired of listening, and Gui's mother let people bet on the mouths of the two.

Now that the two of them have been pulled down, it will take time to ask for something. The room was quieter all of a sudden, Guo looked at the second lady who was standing aside and secretly wiped her tears, remembering that she had no place to go at night, so he told Liu's mother to hurry up and prepare things for the second lady.

Shen Bai looked at the daughter in front of him with some guilt, he also loved her in the past, but because of her mother's incident, he also snubbed her, so that now anyone can bully her, Shen Bai originally wanted to go up and appease a few words, but looking at his daughter who was very similar to Aunt Zhang, he remembered Aunt Zhang, and he finally held back.

Shen Bai's movements were all seen by the old lady, she knew how deep her son's feelings for Aunt Zhang were, and she also knew how long that incident made her son sad, but the child was innocent after all, she talked silently, and opened her mouth to call Shen Nianchu to come over, Shen Nianchu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and walked to her grandmother's side.

The old lady took Shen Nianchu's hand and said, "Chu'er, grandma knows that you have been wronged, don't worry, no one will dare to bully you from now on." Hearing this, Shen Nianchu's eyes turned red again, she hadn't heard such a reassurance for a long time, since the death of her biological parents, what she heard the most was to let her learn to take care of herself, and it was the first time she heard her relatives say to herself that she was at ease.

Seeing that the old lady had spoken, Guo's face was a little unbearable, didn't these people think that they had harmed Shen Nianchu, Guo hurriedly walked over and took Shen Nianchu's hand and said: "That's it, that's it, Chu'er, don't worry, my mother will severely punish these subordinates who don't know the rules, and we can't let them hurt our mother and daughter." ”

After that, he instructed Liu's mother to remind the people in the family that they could not treat Shen Nianchu harshly. Shen Bai watched from the sidelines, didn't say much, Shen Nianchu didn't care too much, for this father, the original Shen Nianchu was extremely admired, but I don't know why, since the death of her mother, her father has not been very attentive to her.

For this reason, "Shen Nianchu" was sad for a long time, so much so that he became cautious in what he did and spoke later, for fear of angering his father. Besides, her father rarely came to her courtyard later, and she slowly became a little disillusioned.

Seeing this, the two aunts next to them also stood up and said that they would help Shen Nianchu, Shen Nianchu politely thanked him, and when he looked at Aunt Liu, the two smiled, all this tonight is thanks to Aunt Liu's help, otherwise, they would not be able to sing such a good play, and they will definitely visit the door another day to thank them.

made such a big fuss, and the people in the house knew that the second lady was very favored at the moment. Because the small courtyard where Shen Nianchu lived before had been burned down, the old lady instructed Gui's mother to clean up the small courtyard in the east courtyard for Shen Nianchu to live in, and Shen Nianchu thanked the old lady and left with Cui'er.

Guo also retired first because he wanted to prepare some daily things for Shen Nianchu. When the two aunts saw that the housewife had left, they said that it was late at night and returned to their courtyard. Only Shen Bai and the old lady were left in the house, and the old lady kept turning the Buddha beads in her hand, and only said after a while: "Mother's business, it has nothing to do with the child, she is still young, if you really have no way to face it, when she is older, marry her off." ”

Shen Bai knew that his mother was distressed about the child, but in fact, he was also distressed, but this child looked too much like her mother, and when he saw her, he thought of the Zhang family and what she did, and his heart ached. But the mother is also right, the first child is innocent, and the child cannot be bullied because of his attitude.

"Mother rest assured, her son knows what to do, and he will send someone to take good care of his first child in the future." After speaking, Shen Bai saluted his mother and left with the guards. The old lady picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and said lightly: "Let them ask those two mothers who instructed them to do such dirty things in the house." ”

Mother Gui nodded, saluted and left.

New courtyard

Shen Nianchu looked at this yard and liked it very much, although the yard was not big, but after some tidying, it was clean and tidy. This is relatively close to the old lady's yard, and you can go there earlier in the future, and there is a peach blossom tree in the yard, and when the spring grows peach blossoms, it must be very beautiful.

Cui'er was also attracted by this small courtyard, since the young lady fell out of favor, the mothers drove them to the previous small courtyard, or the farthest and most remote courtyard in the house, not to mention that they were not full of food and clothing for a day, not to mention, Wang's mothers often insulted the young lady, saying that she was a broom star, and complained that she was unlucky.

"Miss, so you can rest well, and your illness will heal sooner." Shen Nianchu nodded, in fact, in the past few days, she felt that her body seemed to be much better than before, but she couldn't let others see it, now she can cultivate with peace of mind for a few days, and take a good look at how she will live in the future.

After Cui'er served Shen Nianchu to wash up, she went to the door to keep vigil. Shen Nianchu asked Cui'er to go to the house to sleep without vigil, but Cui'er was unwilling, feeling that there was a difference between dignity and inferiority, and she didn't want to break the rules. Shen Nianchu could only let her go.

Shen Nianchu, who was lying on the bed, thought about today's events, although the mothers did not say who instructed them, but they could be regarded as changing a new environment for themselves, but her purpose was not only that, she wanted to find out the truth about her mother's death, so that she could really have a place in this family, but how to check it was also a problem.

Shen Nianchu, who had been tossing for a day, couldn't stay sleepy and slowly fell asleep. Cui'er at the door glanced towards the inner room, and her eyes revealed a complicated emotion.
