Chapter 121: The old lady pleaded guilty
Nie Qiushuang looked at them, and always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, but she was a bride, and she couldn't participate in everything, so she had to do her duty.
But Zhong Lang's words made the originally weird atmosphere a little more. The third master sneered and said, "It's all a misunderstanding." ”
Zhong Yong's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, his expression was unknown, but his bloodthirsty eyes shocked everyone, the third master took two steps back, and Nuo Nuo said: "Big brother, we are all a family." ”
Zhong Yong snorted coldly and said: "There are some things that should really be explained to me clearly, I have been fighting horses all my life, licking life on the knife edge, but in the end I have raised a group of white-eyed wolves." ”
"Big brother, what did you say, brothers too... There is a contribution. ”
"Hmph..."
snorted softly, but Zhong Wen was silent, now that he has resigned from his job and is at home, where can he have the ability to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family.
He was very weak-hearted.
Inside the Zhong family hall
Zhong Yong and the old lady sat in the first place, and the lower ones sat in turn, while Zhong Jinxiu sat behind her aunt, and opposite were the second and third rooms.
She knew that the old lady would defend herself this time.
However, soon, the old lady said, "There have been many things going on in our house recently, and I have been waiting for you to come back to solve this matter." ”
Zhong Yong didn't say anything, but took the tea handed by the maid, drank it with peace of mind, and his temperament was calm, as if he was waiting for the old lady to explain.
Even Zhong Lang and Zhong Ming were sitting precariously, without a trace of interest in their eyes.
However, it was this indifference that made the old lady feel more and more in her heart that she was being judged today.
It's a shame.
"Grandpa Guo, last time you had an accident, the family was very worried, and I tried my best to get through the relationship for you, but no one in the capital was willing to help, only Princess Lao Yi was willing to give my old wife a little face, but she wanted our eldest lady... The Zhong family's honor and disgrace and splendor, I am also very conflicted and entangled for a few days, but I am the mother of the Zhong family first, and then the grandmother of the splendid beauty, Grandpa Guo, do you understand. ”
Zhong Guogong was a little moved.
Zhong Ming saw it, but he didn't want the old lady to deceive his father, so he said, "Is there no one in the capital to help?" But I was in the capital at the time, and I didn't agree with the old lady's words. Like the Liang Mansion, the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and the prince of the dynasty, or the Shen family who is close to us, they are all willing to help investigate, but the old lady has never looked for it, the old lady has always been wise, how can she make such a mistake. ”
The third master said: "Zhong Ming, what do you mean by this, are you suspicious of the old lady?" ”
Zhong Ming smiled slightly and said: "That day, I have already sent someone to the house to spread the news, as long as the thief is caught, it can be confirmed that my father is wronged, but when I left, the old lady was the most calm, like the backbone of the whole house, but I have never seen my grandmother's eagerness." ”
"Zhong Ming, your grandmother has never finished speaking, how can you interject at will? I don't know the rules more and more......"
Zhong Yong snorted lightly: "Third child, does my son understand the rules, it's not your turn to teach, you better take care of yourself first, a lot of grades, and you were actually dismissed at home?" is not even as good as a junior, Zhong Ming is now a school captain and leads the court. ”
A few words blocked Zhong Wen's mouth.
The third lady comforted her man and calmed him down.
The eldest brother is like this, I am afraid that he is angry in his heart, but this leads him to be angry, it is the old lady.
And the eldest lady's matter has nothing to do with their three rooms, it's the old lady...
So she shirked and said: "Big brother, some time ago, some people came to pretend to be the eldest lady of our family, and their appearance and temperament are exactly the same as our eldest lady, so you can't blame us for admitting your mistake." ”
If so, how could Zhong Yong be so angry.
That Zi Sang said that it was the old lady who came to find her.
"Mother, you have something to say."
The old lady looked at the two rooms and three rooms, and there was no one behind her who was reliable, but the big house, Lao Tzu was capable, and this son was even more valued by the saint.
She grieved in her heart, and finally said:
"I found that man."
"Old lady......"
Everyone exclaimed, is the old lady confessing?
When the second lady saw the old lady speak, she thought that the old lady had full evidence, so she said happily: "Mother, have you found out that she is a fake?" Is it really our eldest lady who is being found by you? I just said that our eldest lady used to be a straw bag who didn't understand the rules, how could she become knowledgeable in a few days, gentle and virtuous, and proficient in poetry and chess..."
The third lady really wanted to cover her mouth, didn't she see that Grandpa Guo was now pale, and he was about to get angry?
She sneered and said: "The talent that the old lady is looking for is fake, our eldest lady has always been kind to others, that fake arrogance and domineering, no half of the rules, how can it be our eldest lady." ”
The third master looked at his mother and didn't deny it, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, why are you looking for a fake person?" Isn't there any problem? Mother, why? ”
However, Zhong Yong was silent, and even Zhong Jinxiu didn't even have an excuse.
The more this is the case, the more she feels bottomless.
The old lady felt ashamed in her heart, but now the explanation was the most important, and she made up her mind: "I am being threatened. That night, a man broke into the house and said that he wanted to announce the secrets of the house, and I was afraid, so I welcomed her into the house according to her request. ”
Mother Se was also shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Grandpa Guo, I can testify for the old lady in this matter, the old lady treats you no different from the second master and the third master, you are now excellent and the whole capital is envious, the old prince will pass on the position of the prince to you, and the old lady is also supportive." ”
Seeing that Zhong Yong was indifferent, she hurriedly climbed to Grandpa Guo and said: "Grandpa Guo, when you were six years old, you accidentally fell off the rockery, and it was Mrs. who picked you up below. ”
"This time, the old lady did something wrong, but it is to maintain the reputation of the Zhong Mansion and to maintain the relationship with you..."
"Mama Se, don't say it." The old lady scolded her, and said in a resolute voice, "I am at fault in this matter, and I am willing to accept the investigation of the Criminal Department." ”
Zhong Jinxiu watched the old lady put on a show, and felt ashamed.
Her trick is to retreat into advance, which is really clever.
Push everything to Nazi-san so that she can get out.
She was sure that his father was benevolent and filial and would not really force her to confront the prisoner, so the matter was over.
looked at her father a little moved, as if he was moved by the old lady's words.
The third master said: "Mother, how can you be like this, what is the reason?" You name it. ”
Zhong Yong's heart was moved, but combined with what Zisang said, he guessed what his mother was hiding.
It should be that she is not his biological mother.
In order to conceal these things, he agreed to Zisang's conditions, a Jiangyang thief, who wanted to enter the Zhong Mansion, was naturally worried about the Zhong Mansion.
But if you are worried about something, just give it directly, is it difficult to lose people's lives?
Zhong Jinxiu glanced at the third uncle, she knew that Zhong Wen had been running around recently, throwing out a lot of money, and she was about to get through the relationship, but there was an accident at home, and as soon as the matter was delayed, and she went out again, the relationship would definitely be yellow.
It's all my mother's fault.
"Mother, what is that person thinking about in our house? If you don't just give it to it, it's over, why do you have to come here, now that our house is sealed, who in the capital doesn't suspect that there is a cat in it, the matter of the second brother has not subsided, why are you old man..."
The third master was anxious, and even more should be complaining, the news he found out was that the emperor was angry that they were not strict in discipline, which caused the inner courtyard of the Zhong Mansion to be disagreeable. And there are also rumors of mistreatment of Zhong Guo's concubine.
Now my mother is actually... Isn't that dragging oneself back?
"Mother, don't you think we don't have enough things in our family? If someone is threatened, you can tell your son. ”
Zhong Jinxiu's heart was inexplicably relieved, but seeing her father pondering, she sighed in her heart and said: "Father, maybe this matter is really as the old lady said, it is a threat from others, and the old lady has no choice but to do it." Fortunately, my daughter is fine now. ”
She is well-behaved and sensible, which makes Zhong Yong very happy.
was about to send everyone back, and she had a way to compensate her daughter.
However, the eldest lady was unwilling to deal with it so hastily, she believed that things were definitely not as easy as the old lady said, and said, "Didn't you catch someone?" The woman wants to put the splendid and the place of death, the means are vicious, where is the person who came to the house to find something, it is clear that she is here to kill. Jinxin saw with her own eyes that the woman fell asleep on the splendid scenery and wanted to pour poison on her. ”
The second lady said: "Maybe Jinxin wants to harm the eldest lady and frame others." ”
Zhong Jinxin was ashamed of their faces, she also saw that her father was about to be moved, and the old lady was about to pass the test in confusion.
The eldest sister seemed to want to calm things down, and she didn't know how to interject, when the second lady jumped out and bit her.
If you don't abuse her, I'm really sorry for myself.
"There were secret guards on the roof that day, and I saw it with my own eyes, and they also took away the medicinal soup. They can prove my innocence. She sneered in her heart and said, "Besides, isn't there still a corpse in the house?" You say it's... I think it's because the thief is lost, and you are in a hurry, so you brought out one and wanted to slander our big house and harm people, isn't it? ”
Nie Qiushuang said: "I found out, that woman is the woman next to Sanshao, called Dong Ju." It's not the thief..."
Zhong Jinxin nodded at his sister-in-law and said:
"Who was the righteous man who was righteous and insisted that it was the eldest lady of the Zhong family, and who poured dirty water on my mother, saying that my mother was afraid of what she would identify, so she killed people?"
"Speaking of which, my mother just took over the reins of the house, so you hold such a grudge? This power in charge of the family was originally because the old lady was tired and fell ill, and my mother had no choice but to accept it, not my mother to ask for it, and now who are you showing this face? ”
The second lady seemed to be in her heart, and she was angry in her heart.
"Why is the third lady so sharp-toothed, don't you also say it, it's the old lady who is sick, and your mother has no choice but to accept it, and now that the old lady is sick, she can't see the power of the family to return? It is clear that it is to dominate. ”
Zhong Ming chuckled lightly and said, "It turned out to be for the power of the family, no wonder." ”
