Chapter 138: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Xie Changli said, and caught a short man in, the man was wearing tattered clothes, coarse cloth clothes, and raw thief eyebrows and rat eyes, which looked out of place in the room.
Sheng Yanqing nodded, Xie Changli raised a kick and kicked it in the crook of the man's leg, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Old lady, this person's name is Zhao Kui, he is a porter, he sent charcoal to the Sheng family when it was cold, he bought ** from the pharmacy and secretly sent it to the Sheng family." Xie Changli arched his hand.
The room was full of people looking at Zhao Kui like monkeys, looking up and down.
The patriarch cleared his throat and asked, "He bought **, and who did he give it to?" ”
"This ...... Let Zhao Kui say it himself. Xie Changli gave Zhao Kui a look.
Where had Zhao Kui seen such a scene, he had already been frightened, so he kowtowed and said: "The old lady spared her life, a lady gave me a hundred yuan to buy medicine, I acted according to orders, and the medicine was also given to her." ”
At the mention of the word lady, the eldest lady and the second lady sat up straight, and the Sheng family was the only one who could be called a lady.
The second lady immediately said: "You said it clearly, what lady?" Is it me, or is it her? ”
Zhao Kui raised his head tremblingly, glanced at the eldest lady, then at the second lady, and shook his head again and again.
Sheng Yanqing said: "Steward Xie, let's be straight, who is it?" ”
Xie Changli clasped his fists and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Come on, invite Miss Caiwei in." ”
Soon, a housekeeper pushed Cai Wei and walked in, she had a big belly and walked a little hard.
Before Cai Wei could gain a firm foothold, Zhao Kui seemed to see a savior, and stretched out his dirty hand to pull Cai Wei's skirt, "This lady, you asked me to buy medicine, you should make it clear to them." Steward Xie said that if I don't tell the truth, he will break my legs. ”
Cai Wei's face was full of disgust, "Where did you come from to be poor and beg for food, and you stained my clothes, can you afford to pay for it?" I don't know you at all, how could I let you buy medicine? What medicine to buy, rat medicine? ”
Cai Wei denied it, but Zhao Kui couldn't, so he took out a money bag from his arms and said, "This lady, this is the money bag you gave me at that time, you can't deny it, right?" ”
Mother Tao took the money bag and presented it to the old lady.
The money bag is made of fine Hangzhou silk and embroidered with a blooming rose.
Mother Tao said angrily: "Cai Wei, you still dare to quibble, this Hangzhou silk is expensive, the old lady got a few horses a few years ago, and rewarded all the yards, only the eldest lady got one horse for this trick." This material was given to you by the eldest lady, right? ”
"I didn't say that the money bag wasn't mine," Cai Wei flicked her sleeves and raised her face, "This is indeed embroidered by me, but someone wants to frame me, and it is not necessary to steal it, so you will convict me on this basis?" ”
What Cai Wei said is not unreasonable.
Hearing her words, Shen Yu laughed loudly, she walked up to Cai Wei, "Cai Wei, you pretended to pass on the order of the eldest lady and tricked me into going to the ancestral hall, and on the way back, you ordered someone to stun me, move me to the abandoned courtyard, and lead the second master over." Here, the people who buy medicine, the people who stun me, the pharmacy owners, including the maids who pretend to pass on orders, these people can't disappear out of thin air, right? ”
She stared at Cai Wei, her face was cold, and her tone suddenly became stern, "Cai Wei, this is the opportunity given to you by the old lady, if you really want to investigate, these people can always find it, and the truth will surface." ”
Cai Wei's eyes began to roll, and she wondered if there was something wrong with her.
Sheng Yanqing's gaze swept over Cai Wei's face like a cold wind in the cold winter, and she felt weak in her heart and staggered back a step.
Sheng Yanqing gave Xie Changli a look, "In this case, then check." ”
"Yes!" Xie Changli turned around to leave, but Cai Wei knelt on the ground with a thud.
She knelt at the feet of the old lady and said pitifully: "Old lady, I am confused, I remember that my grandmother drove me out of the house before, and almost caused me to lose the child." I just want to teach her a lesson, I heard that the young grandmother was sunk in the pond, I can't sleep well every night, but fortunately, the young grandmother is safe and sound. ”
She kowtowed to the people in her seat.
"Old lady, please be kind and spare me this time. The eldest lady, the second lady, and the third young grandmother, you adults don't remember the villain, let me go. ”
Xie Changli had already taken Zhao Kui down, and this kind of thing happened to the Sheng family, and it was absolutely impossible for outsiders to know.
Speaking of which, Cai Wei is not a member of the Sheng family at all, and the old lady of the child in her belly has never admitted it.
In this way, this incident is that the servants of the Sheng family are unruly and harm the main family. If you want to kill or fight, you don't need to do it with the people of the clan
The clan elders were leisurely drinking tea, looking lively.
Cai Wei did have a clever mouth, and in a few words, she said that she was pitiful, and after begging the ladies, she crawled over and begged Shen Yu again.
"Grandma, it's all my fault this time, but please, for the sake of the child in my belly, spare me this time. The eldest young master has a spirit in the sky, and she also hopes that this child can be born safely. As long as you let me go, I promise that I will not commit any more rules in the future. ”
The two ladies didn't speak, and Shen Yu couldn't say anything.
However, he stepped forward and slapped Cai Wei, and said angrily: "Make a mistake, do you think you are a three-year-old child?" You almost killed the eldest young grandmother, how many sticks did the second master suffer, you made a mistake, do you want to forgive you? You touch your conscience and ask, since you came to the Sheng family, no matter how arrogant you are, when has your grandmother ever taken care of you? ”
Cai Wei was slapped in the face and sat on the ground, she looked at Hexiang with a pair of thief eyes, and began to cry.
During this time, Shen Yu was aggrieved, Hexiang was also aggrieved, she still wanted to fight, Shen Yu raised her hand to stop her.
She glanced at Hexiang, "Go down, the old lady will administer justice." ”
The eldest lady let out a long yawn, and she stood up, "Third uncle, all the uncles, I have a lot of work today." After a long time, it turned out that the subordinates were unruly. It's late at night, so I won't trouble everyone, Cai Wei is my subordinate, and I will deal with it myself. ”
Sheng Ting stood up and glanced at Cai Wei coldly, "That's good, as long as there is justice to be found, it is also a scourge to keep such a slave." ”
The eldest lady was a little embarrassed on her face, she lowered her eyebrows, and waited for the uncles to leave, she raised her eyes and glanced at Cai Wei with disgust.
Cai Wei immediately got up from the ground, walked up to the eldest lady with difficulty, and hugged her legs.
She pleaded bitterly, "Big lady, save me, save the child in my womb." ”
Cai Wei has been pregnant for seven months, and she will give birth in two months, and she is kneeling on the ground with a big belly, looking really pitiful.
The Sheng family has strict rules, and it is no longer in accordance with the rules to leave Cai Wei, who made a mistake and driven out of the house, and now he has made such a joke in front of the people of the clan, and it is impossible to write it off.
It's just that in Cai Wei's belly, what she is pregnant with is Sheng Yanming's child.
The eldest lady couldn't bear it in her heart, knowing that Cai Wei was wrong, she hesitated again and again, but still said cheekily: "Cai Wei did make a big mistake this time, and it can't be tolerated." However, she is pregnant with Yanming's child, whether she is beaten or punished, she must wait for the child to be born. ”
