Chapter 044: The Matter Is Revealed

The little รท said โ—Ž Net], the โ™‚ little รท said โ—Ž Net],

Wei Ning and Xu were standing outside the door, and they were also startled when they heard Aunt Xi's words. The last time she dared to be affectionate, she bumped into Mother Li in the backyard holding Dong Ge'er and seeing Manniang because of this, so this Aunt Xi is really bold!

Xu was also shocked. Under Aunt Xi's obedient appearance, she actually has such a bold idea!

Xu walked into the door, and Aunt Xi and Mother Li saw Xu, and a trace of panic flashed on their faces. But Aunt Xi quickly calmed down, straightened up, and said to Xu, "Why did Madame come suddenly?" The girl outside is really getting more and more slack, and she doesn't report it. โ€

Xu's face was gloomy, and Aunt Xi couldn't tell how much of her conversation with Li's mother and daughter had just heard. Her eyes fell on Xu's high bulging abdomen, and she couldn't help but grasp the golden silk quilt under her, a burst of annoyance.

The house smelled of wormwood. Dong Ge'er seemed to be tired of crying, and his voice was much quieter than before, but he still kept sobbing in Li's mother's arms.

"Aunt Xi, you make it clear. What's going on? Xu asked.

"What's going on?" Aunt Xi pretended not to know and asked rhetorically.

Xu saw that Aunt Xi was still pretending to be stupid, and she became angry all of a sudden.

Sensing Xu's anger, Wei Ning pulled Xu's sleeve at the bottom and said, "Mother, don't be angry first, don't affect the baby in the belly." โ€

After speaking, Wei Ning said aloud to Aunt Xi and Mother Li: "Since Aunt and Mother Li refuse to say it, then I can only tell my father about this matter and let him deal with it." โ€

When Aunt Xi heard Wei Ning say this, her face became solemn: "Second Miss, we have to tell a piece of evidence for everything." โ€

"Just now you told Mother Li that you wanted to send Dongge'er back to Manniang, but my mother and I heard it." Wei Ning said.

Aunt Xi smiled: "There is no basis for what she said. Mother Li, you say, when did I say that I wanted to send Dongge'er back to Manniang? It's just a matter of nowhere. โ€

"You ......" Wei Ning didn't expect Aunt Xi to be such a scoundrel, but she really didn't have any substantial evidence, and when she got back to her father, it was easy for Aunt Xi to deny it.

Xu Shi looked at Dong Ge'er, who had stopped crying. She turned to Xianglan and said, "You go and bring Dong Ge'er over." โ€

Xianglan stepped forward according to her words, and Mother Li looked at Aunt Xi hesitantly, and Aunt Xi frowned and said, "Madam, what are you doing here?" โ€

"You are weak and unfit to take care of Dongge'er, from today onwards, Dongge'er will be taken care of by me. Xianglan. โ€

Xu called again. Xianglan stretched out her hand to Li's mother and said, "Give it to me." โ€

Aunt Xi was very anxious, the last thing she wanted was for Dongge'er to fall into the hands of the Xu family. For women in the house, children are bargaining chips, especially if there are few children under Wei Guogong's knees, so even if Dong Ge'er's mother is Manniang, Wei Guogong will not treat him lightly because of this.

"Madame, sir......"

"I'll talk about it, sir." Without waiting for Aunt Xi to finish speaking, Xu Shi preemptively said.

Mother Li squinted at Aunt Xi, Xianglan had already stretched out her hand in front of her, so Mother Li could only hand over Dongge'er to Xianglan.

As soon as Xianglan hugged Dong Ge'er, Dong Ge'er began to cry again.

"I don't want it, I don't want it, I want it to be ...... man"

All the people in the room who heard this changed their faces.

Xu asked Xianglan to hold Dong Ge'er steady, and said to Xianglan: "You find a few little guys and look at this house." No one is allowed to enter or leave. When the master comes back, I will talk to him about the matter in detail. โ€

Xianglan responded. Aunt Xi was lying on the bed, her face like ashes.

In the evening, Wei Guogong went to Xu's room, and Xu explained the matter to Wei Guogong one by one.

After listening to Xu's words, Wei Guogong asked the maid to take Dong Ge'er out, and Dong Ge'er really didn't stop calling Manniang in his mouth after a few words.

Wei Guogong was furious when he heard this, and Xu said: "Listening to Ning'er, she once bumped into Mother Li holding Dong Ge'er and meeting Manniang in the backyard of the mansion before. โ€

After Wei Guogong heard this, he called Wei Ning and asked them one by one.

"You go and call Aunt Xi and Mother Li, and I will interrogate them personally." Wei Guogong said to the little guy with a gloomy face.

The little guy went down to report as he said. After a while, a few little maids came with Aunt Xi and Mother Li.

Aunt Xi's face was still very pale, and there was a strong smell of wormwood on her body. When she saw Wei Guogong, her eyes filled with tears.

Aunt Xi knelt down with a "plop" and cried and shouted, "Master." โ€

Since that hunt, Wei Guogong didn't expect to see Aunt Xi again. The woman's face that day just made him feel disgusted. Now that this has happened again, it makes him even more disgusted with this woman.

"I ask you. Madame said that you want to send Dong Ge'er back to Manniang. Is this serious? Wei Guogong looked at Aunt Xi coldly and asked.

"I don't know why Madame said that." Aunt Xi bit her lip.

"Do you still dare to deny it?" Wei Guogong's face was full of anger, "Ning'er once bumped into Mother Li holding Dongge'er and meeting Manniang. You lords and servants are so bold, are there no rules in this house? Who allowed you to let Dong Ge'er see Manniang? โ€

After Wei Guogong finished speaking, he saw that Aunt Xi had not spoken, so he sneered: "Do you think that I am pregnant by myself, I dare not do anything to you, right?" Okay, come on! โ€

As soon as Wei Guogong gave the order, two servants stepped forward. Wei Guogong pointed at Li's mother with his hand and said, "Call me until she is willing to tell the truth!" โ€

Mother Li was originally an old woman, and when she saw the thick stick in the little girl's hand, she was already so frightened that her legs trembled. Before the execution began, he immediately shouted: "I said, I said, master, I will say everything I know!" โ€

"All of this was Aunt Xi's idea." Mother Li pointed at Aunt Xi next to her, and said with trembling lips: "She has been waiting for an opportunity to conceive another child, and she doesn't want to send Dong Ge'er back to her wife, so she has been planning to send Dong Ge'er away after she is pregnant!" โ€

"How did you get in touch with Manniang?" Wei Ning asked, this was what she had always been strange about.

Large families are generally very taboo about this kind of thing. Like Dong Ge'er and Man Niang, they are basically not allowed to meet. If someone secretly picks it up, it is a great sin.

Li's mother complained bitterly, she used to see Aunt Xi being favored, and she felt that she could live a good life by following her. I didn't expect this scenery to be so short-lived. Mother Li only regrets it now, why didn't she refuse this errand in the first place.

Mother Li is a very experienced old lady in the house, and she was assigned by Wei Guogong to take care of Aunt Xi because Aunt Xi was pregnant, and she was very happy at that time, and she flattered and catered to Aunt Xi everywhere. So he became Aunt Xi's most trusted person.

But now......

Mother Li only hated herself for being short-sighted, but now she finally understands that the Xu family is the real lady in the house.

"The old slave didn't contact her." Li's mother said, "Manniang came to the door by herself. There was a big flood in her hometown, and her husband died, so she took a few children to Jingzhou to make a living. I didn't expect to be lucky, and I made a lot of money by doing a small business. My aunt and I met her on the road that day, and she had the idea of taking Dong Ge'er back to her side. โ€

"So you just push the boat and want to send Dong Ge'er away without knowing it?" Wei Guogong asked.

Mother Li immediately became frightened and kept kowtowing: "The old slave didn't have ...... The old slave did not ...... The old slave persuaded Aunt Xi, but she was bent on doing it. She said that Dong Ge'er was never born by herself, and she couldn't raise it, and sooner or later it would fall into the hands of her wife, so it was better to send it out, and then she would find an excuse to say that Dong Ge'er was lost by himself......

Wei Guogong listened, and the green tendons on his forehead protruded. Aunt Xi sneered: "Master, do you really fully believe what this Diao slave said?" It's clear that she wants to send Dong Ge'er away and blame me again! โ€

"Aunt Xi, how can you say that?" Mother Li raised her head, "How many times have I advised you?" It's you who have been blinded by jealousy. If it weren't for Manniang's promise that you would share a large sum of money after you succeeded, you would have been able to agree so easily......"

"That's enough." Wei Guogong waved his hand, and he really couldn't listen to what he said. He pointed to Li's mother and said, "Beat this Diao slave with thirty boards and drive him out of the house!" โ€

"As for you." Wei Guogong looked at Aunt Xi and waved his hand in disgust: "Locked in the room, don't go out." Give birth to a baby and go on your own! โ€

Aunt Xi's face was like ashes, her eyes were closed, and she fainted.

Wei Ning saw that the corners of Aunt Xi's skirt began to flush again, so she hurriedly stepped forward to take Aunt Xi's pulse, frowned and said, "Mood swings, there are signs of miscarriage." โ€

"Carry her down quickly, and burn her." Wei Ning instructed those little maids.

Wei Guogong looked coldly at Aunt Xi lying on the ground, without any concern on his face. The eyes were full of disgust.

After Aunt Xi was carried down, Wei Guogong waved his hand to let everyone retreat.

"In the future, Brother Dong'er, I will leave it to you to raise." Wei Guogong looked at Xu. Because there is about to be Xu's son-in-law, Wei Guogong doesn't care as much about Dong Ge'er as before.

"Daddy, my mother is now in the critical period of pregnancy, and it is not suitable to take care of Dongge'er. Why don't you leave Dongge'er to me. Wei Ning said on the side.

"You?" Wei Guogong raised his eyebrows, "You are a little girl, you can't take care of yourself, how can you take care of your brother?" โ€

Wei Ning was meritorious because of saving the emperor last time, and now he is the pride of the entire Wei Mansion. For Wei Ning, Wei Guogong no longer has the previous dissatisfaction, and every time he looks at this daughter, his eyes are full of appreciation.

Wei Ning smiled slightly and said, "Daddy still can't trust his daughter now?" Don't worry. โ€

Taking into account Xu's mood, Wei Guogong nodded in agreement. After Wei Ning asked Shu Jin to go down with Dong Ge'er, Wei Guogong held Xu's hand and said with an apologetic face: "It's hard work." โ€

Xu Shi smiled, but quietly withdrew his hand from Wei Guogong's hand.

"What did the master say, be polite to me. That's what I'm supposed to do. โ€
