Chapter 347: It's Not Over
"Luo Cheng, his wife and their children, publicized slander and slandered the main mother, violated the family rules, and were handed over to the official for sale." Lan Ting's words forced Mrs. Peng to "press" in the seat, her face was as if she had suddenly been covered with a layer of pot ash, and the black gas almost swallowed up the makeup she had carefully painted today.
Luo Chengjia's fat body also trembled heavily, turned up her puffy eyelids to reveal a pair of dead fish eyes, followed by a series of shouts of grievances, she really had a loud voice, echoing in the inner hall so that the old lady's eyebrows were tied into a dead knot, and looked at her eldest grandson who still looked calm for help-no matter how to punish her, it is better to shut up this woman first, you can have nightmares at night if you listen to too much noise, not to mention that not to mention that sleeping badly affects your complexion, maybe there will be a few more wrinkles on your face, This is the biggest taboo for beauty that my daughter-in-law has repeatedly reminded.
Lan Ting didn't read the old lady's heart, but she really disliked Luo Chengjia's loud voice for being too irritable, and didn't let her play her acting skills to the fullest, and said, "Wronged? I have already detected those few servant women who are talking about the big grandmother in private and secretly talking about the jealousy and intolerable people, and they can all testify that the rumors are spread from the mouth of the family, including the case that He Rou was forced into a desperate situation to take poison and commit suicide today, and He Rou has just repeatedly stated that she did not slander the housewife, nor did she refute her confession, do you want me to call many witnesses to confront her on the spot before I am willing to confess? ”
Luo Chengjia choked on his huge voice at once, and the dead fish's eyes turned to Mrs. Peng, but what she received was only a warning look.
Mrs. Peng didn't want to pull her ashore!
Only then did Luo Cheng's family realize the danger - the crime of selling the official teeth and slandering the master's family had to be written into the body deed, which powerful family was willing to take over the servants and maids who were expelled for their crimes? Mo said that her two daughters are like flowers and jade, and even her two daughters-in-law may only be reduced to Fireworks Alley, and the rest can only do hard labor, how can people live? Their family is a slave in the Taishi Mansion, Luo Cheng has survived all these years, and it is easy to get the position of the manager of the comprador office, that is a rich messenger, and can bring two sons to work in the comprador office in the future, seeing that although the family is a slave and a maid, it is expected to be mixed into the number one person in the slave class, if the eldest daughter is really lucky in the future, there is great hope to ask for the grace of the lord's family to release the good name and rely on the savings to stand on her own!
What a promising life, but he was thrown into hell all of a sudden, how could Luo Cheng's family accept it?
At this time, the servant woman had no way to weigh the benefits and disadvantages, she only thought that she must not fall into the situation of being sold by the official teeth, she had long been accustomed to flattering and pleasing only in front of the master's house, and the privilege of managing things that could make a living by giving orders, and cultivating a body full of fat and walking felt hard, where could she still stand to do hard labor?
If she can ask for forgiveness, even if she can't keep her current status, even if she is assigned to the bottom of the Zhuangzi, and her son and daughter-in-law are busy, at least she will be free from labor in the future.
All the calculations of the Luo Cheng family now are limited to the lesser of two evils.
She straightened up and walked two steps on her knees, and then kowtowed her head again: "The slave and maid confessed, the slave and the maid did deliberately approach Herou, and indeed announced the rumors that slandered the grandmother, but the slave and the maid did this because the second lady ordered, and the slave and maid did not dare to disobey the order of the middle mother, and begged the uncle to forgive the slave and maid, and never hand over the slave and maid's family to the official and sell it." ”
"Sluts dare to spew blood!" How could Mrs. Peng admit it, and immediately took the case: "Brother Ting, this slave and maid seem to be climbing and biting indiscriminately in order to get rid of the crime, and she will not believe her slander, so she will conclude that she really suffered from me."
Command, right? I am not wronged without evidence! ”
"Uncle, the slave and maid don't dare to lie anymore, it is indeed the second lady's companion Peng Zhong's family, confess that no matter what He Rou said, the slave and maid bit to death and slandered the eldest grandmother for jealousy, and instigated the uncle to violate the deceased mother's will and repeatedly abused the mother and maid, this slave and maid did not dare to say, but Peng Zhong's family coerced and tempted...... Peng Zhong's family wants to coerce the slave and maid, if the slave and the maid do not obey, the second lady will definitely take away the slave and maid male comprador office manager, but the slave and maid obey the order of the second lady, the second lady promised to transfer the slave's daughter to the second master's courtyard to serve, and in the future, the slave's daughter will be supported as an aunt, Peng Zhong's family also gave a golden hairpin to the slave and maid as a letter, and the golden hairpin slave and maid were collected in the house, and the uncle allowed the slave and maid to take it, which can be confirmed immediately. ”
"I've sent someone to search my dwelling." Lan Tinghuo was like a trick, and at this time he actually took out a golden hairpin: "But this thing? ”
Chun Gui glanced at it, and saw that the gilded hairpin in Lan Ting's hand was just a common treasure pattern, although it looked like it was full of weight and valuable, but this kind of jewelry was too common to be confirmed to be owned by Mrs. Peng.
Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Peng sneer: "Such a golden hairpin is reserved for the servant woman who can be used for rewarding or pre-made gifts for those relatives who are not very important, who doesn't have a few things at hand, and the voucher I gave is the voucher?" I wonder who is the collusion that is trying to slander me with such a thing. ”
Mrs. Peng finally remembered the existence of Chungui, and focused her angry eyes: "Earlier, Brother Ting's daughter-in-law was still thinking about pinching my mistakes and grabbing the middle feed, and she was the first to propose that Herou was not taking poison, but when Brother Ting'er checked, he found out that Herou originally had a bad stomach, and now both Brother Ting'er and Brother Ting's daughter-in-law have no responsibility, but in the end it became my ill-intentionedness, but these so-called physical evidence cannot confirm my guilt at all!" Old lady, Brother Ting is the head of the family, and he is bent on wronging his daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law will point to the old lady to uphold justice! ”
The old lady had a lot of questions, and she couldn't tell what was right and wrong at all, but she obviously couldn't tolerate the second daughter-in-law being questioned by mistake and losing the power of the middle feed, so she hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "Brother Ting, in my opinion, this matter is a storm stirred up by a few Diao slaves, and it can't be too much to punish it, it should all be a warning that no one can cause trouble in the future, but the second aunt ...... She is indeed a little cautious and often likes to find fault with her daughter-in-law, but I don't think she can have such a bad heart, and besides, it is the testimony of a servant woman right now, but she can't really trust the misunderstood aunt. ”
"Grandmother, my grandson didn't listen to one side of the story, but since Luo Chengjia's confession was instructed by the second uncle's mother, Peng's mother/mother, the grandson thinks that he should call Peng's mother/mother to testify." Lan Ting is still in a posture of intending to pursue it to the end.
As Mrs. Peng's confidant servant, Peng Zhong's family accompanied her to the garden today, but she was not allowed to enter the inner hall, and she was waiting outside the hall now, and it was very convenient to summon her.
Mrs. Peng smiled coldly when she heard this, she trusted her henchmen very much, of course she was not afraid that Peng Zhong's family would identify her as the housemother in public, and as long as Peng Zhong's family insisted that Luo Cheng's family was the dirty, she also had full confidence that her henchmen would not be punished, the old lady couldn't trust the Shen family, the mother of the long house, and of course she was also wary of the eldest granddaughter-in-law Gu, if she was not in charge of the power of the Taishi Mansion, could it be that the old lady actually connived at the two daughters-in-law who came out of the house?
It's ridiculous that Gu really thought that the old lady would be biased towards her!
And Peng's mother/mother did not live up to Mrs. Peng's trust, calmly asked three questions, and firmly denied it
Luo Chengjia's accusations.
But Mrs. Peng never expected that at this juncture, her biological son would "raise an army".
The first to be unbearable was the fourth master Lan Ge, the young man's face was already congested with blood at this time, he stood up from the seat and took a few steps forward, and clasped his fist at his cousin Lan Ting: "Big brother can check the dark side of the golden hairpin, whether there is a scratch." ”
"Yes." Lan Ting simply handed the golden hairpin to Lan Ge.
"Mother has always been cautious, but all the jewelry that is struck from the outside, in order to prevent theft by servants and maidservants, will be marked on the dark side, which is such a scratch of length and length. Even the small gold ingots that the mother rewarded the son and nephew during the New Year's Day, the dark side also has this record, the second brother may not have paid attention to this matter, but I have witnessed and heard my mother tell Peng Ma / Mom must not forget to remember, if the big brother does not believe it, you can also let the big sister take off the hairpin on her head, the hairpin that the big sister wears today is the birthday gift given by the mother to the big sister, and the jewelry is also played in the shop outside, and the dark side should also have such a record. ”
Mrs. Peng opened her mouth and stammered, will the eldest brother not believe it? Oh my God, what kind of son did I have?!
The other son could no longer hold back his shame and testified: "The mother did confess, saying that she would choose a house for her son soon, but it was not the son's current maidservant, whose name is Yu Qian, Luo Cheng's family, and Yu Qian's daughter?" ”
Luo Cheng's family was already desperate, but suddenly saw the light of day, and his voice was a little louder in surprise: "Yes, yes, yes, Yuqian is not a big girl who is a slave!" ”
Mrs. Peng sat down in her chair dizzily, so sad and angry that she wanted to cry out loud - her husband is unreliable, why is her son who was conceived in October so unreliable? !
At this moment, she hated the spring return even more, it was nothing more than a good skin, if she wanted a family background and no family background, she wanted children and no children, why could she be in the Taishi Mansion to be windy and rainy, and the fox Zhao Lanting was just a charmer, and she dared to charm my brother Tai and Brother Ge! Gu Chungui and I will not stand together!
Chungui is sighing: There are still such strange things in the world where Liang is not right and Liang is right, the second uncle and the fourth uncle are really fair and selfless, and they have the excellent quality of killing relatives in righteousness, and it is also thanks to Uncle Zhao, it is really the charm of divine light to protect the body, which affects the two cousins to be convinced.
Kindness? Mrs. Peng, what is the matter with the anger of looking at me like a demon? Oh God, don't you think I have such a big charm?! After returning from spring, I felt that there was another black pot cover.
But she was "evil to the guts", and she didn't mind the black pot on her head, but showed a smile of appreciation and relief at the two cousins, even though the two cousins were not aware of the reward from the eldest sister-in-law, but as long as Mrs. Peng could see it in her eyes.
It's a pity that before Mrs. Peng was so angry that she lost her mind, the companion who was loyal to her had already realized the danger, and Peng Zhongjia's face was disgraced but he calmly confessed: "Don't do the second lady's business, it's the old slave who is not angry with the eldest grandmother who repeatedly provokes and disrespects her relatives, so I thought of a way to buy Luo Cheng's family to slander the eldest grandmother, once the reputation of the eldest grandmother is ruined, the old lady will be dissatisfied, so that she will not only know the favoritism of the eldest granddaughter-in-law in everything as in the past." The golden hairpin was given to the slave maid by the second lady a few years ago, and the slave and maid used it as a voucher to buy Luo Cheng's family, and recommended Luo Cheng's daughter Yu Qian to the second lady, saying that she was well-behaved and clever, and she was born with a suitable male appearance. ”
In short, everything is the servant's own opinion, and the second lady is as innocent as a white lotus.
