Chapter 242: The Soft Knife Is the Sharpest
When Bai Qingqing arrived in the room, he immediately knelt down and said with red eyes: "Old lady, madam, you must be the master for Xiaoice!" ”
The old lady nodded, knowing that Bai Qingqing's child had just been hurt, and now that her maid had died again, she was naturally sad and sad in her heart, so her tone slowed down a little, and said, "I will naturally deal with this matter fairly, you tell me carefully, what do you know?" ”
Bai Qingqing glanced up at the Qingdi in front of him, with a little resentment in his eyes, and said, "Second young grandmother, if you hate me, you can just come directly at me, why do you want to make a move on my children and my maid?" My child is still so young, how can you bear to do it? The maid assigned to me by Madame is just a maid in your eyes, but it is also a human life, why do you do this? ”
Qingdi heard Bai Qingqing's words, and knew that Bai Qingqing must have come at her this time, she didn't succeed in framing the child last time, and now she is going to use the maid to put her to death. She immediately turned her head to look at Bai Qingqing, opened her mouth and wanted to scold her, but when she saw Bai Qingqing wearing clothes like Dai Xiao, her face was pale and pitiful, and her peach blossom eyes were full of water. Looking back at himself, although Yao Cen said that he was poisoned and locked up in the ancestral hall for a day and a night, he did not slack off eating and drinking, and his face was ruddy on the ground with the red clothes on his body.
Qingdi sighed secretly, although she was ashamed of this practice, she still turned her head silently, lowered her head, and said pitifully: "I don't know what the white girl is talking about, I haven't hurt your child, and I didn't kill this maid, someone framed me." ”
Hey, this old lady also seems to be a master who eats soft rather than hard, and her injuries again and again have made Qingdi unable to uphold her personality anymore. Although she clearly remembered what Chu Yaocen had told her in her mind, he said that with his favor, she didn't have to become a woman in this back house who was playing tricks.
But she gradually became.
"You still say it's not you?" Bai Qingqing did not intend to let her go, and said: "Today during the day, I discussed with Xiaoice, if once you come out of the ancestral hall and regain your freedom, you will definitely not let us go, and you will continue to attack my child, so Xiaoice volunteered to ask for your forgiveness, please let me and my Sen'er, I originally didn't let her go, but she still secretly went to you behind my back, but she didn't come back all afternoon, and in the evening, the news came that she had been killed by you." Tell me, you are the only one in that ancestral hall, and there are people guarding outside, you didn't kill it, who else could it be? ”
Qingdi frowned, didn't look back at her, only lowered her eyes, looked well-behaved, and said coldly: "You also said, there are people guarding outside, how did you get inside?" ”
"She can climb through the window and get in." Bai Qingqing blurted out and said.
"It's as if you saw it with your own eyes." Qingdi sneered, and continued: "If she just wants to beg me to let your mother and son go, she will naturally pick a clear time to make it known, so that even if I don't want to agree in my heart, I won't dare to make another move because of the situation." Sneaking through the window to see me, are you really begging me to let you go, or are you going to kill me? ”
"You ......" Bai Qingqing covered his mouth, let the tears flow down, and said: "You just admit it, after you come out of the ancestral hall, you still want to kill my mother and son?" ”
Qingdi rolled her eyes, Bai Qingqing's logic had already made her not want to say any more nonsense, "Don't worry about it, I'm just talking about how unreasonable what you just said, a fool wouldn't do that." I haven't done anything to your mother and son before, and I won't do anything to you, because I have no reason to kill you. ”
Bai Qingqing argued: "How can there be no reason? My child has become the lucky star of the Chu family, and you are definitely going to get rid of us, because I am about to endanger your position! ”
Qingdi glanced at her mockingly, and said, "You think too much, I won't take you to heart at all, because Yao Cen won't marry you at all, I believe him." ”
"Enough!" The old lady interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "What you said are all suspicious, and I can't determine who is right and who is wrong for the time being, so I have to think about it." Qingdi, you go to the ancestral hall to stay later, I will send someone I believe to find out the truth, and after finding out, I will make plans. ”
Qingdi could hear that the old lady deliberately emphasized "the person she believed", just to dispel her scruples. The old lady was already like this, Qingdi naturally didn't want to say anything, so she nodded and said: "Qingdi knows, I hope grandma will return Qingdi's innocence, thank you grandma." ”
After she finished speaking, she got up and followed her subordinates back to the ancestral hall.
Bai Qingqing hadn't gotten up yet, looking at the old lady and He Shi with teary eyes, for a while, and said, "Qingqing has nothing to say, I just hope that Xiaoice can rest in peace." ”
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily, and then got up and went back.
After the two of them left, the old lady asked He Shi on the side, "You also heard them quarrel just now, do you think, who is right and who is wrong?" ”
He Shi is not good at directly biasing Bai Qingqing, so he said: "This matter is full of suspicions, and it is difficult to judge. ”
The old lady nodded, and then asked, "So what happened today, what was the first thing you thought of, and how should you deal with it?" ”
He rolled his eyes and said: "Mother-in-law just said, I can't dispose of Qingdi in order to make people feel at ease, but I still think that to stabilize people's hearts now, it is best to declare to the outside world and give Qingdi a punishment, of course, we just declare it to the other party, and we don't really want to punish Qingdi." ”
The old lady glanced at He Shi coldly and said, "Why are you still so confused?" How can you tell me to trust this back house to you? ”
He Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, where did I deal with it wrong?" I didn't really hurt Qingdi, I just said it, and I just declared it to the outside world. ”
"No matter what, Qingdi is now also the daughter-in-law of my Chu family, you ruined her reputation when you didn't understand the truth of the matter, if it spread, it would also be a family ugly, what you think of now should be how to block the news and don't let people outside know." The old lady said: "Besides, no matter how the body of that maid appeared in the ancestral hall, the people guarding outside the ancestral hall had major mistakes, and they did not guard them well, so this situation occurred, so you have to punish them no matter what, so as to establish prestige." ”
He lowered his head, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes, this Qingdi really has the means, and the Chu family is particularly partial to her.
She immediately raised her head and smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, what my mother-in-law said is that I have been taught." ”
"Without further ado, you can do it now." The old lady didn't want to embarrass her, after all, she was also the current head of the Chu family.
"Yes," He Shi got up and responded, but she suddenly thought that now Chu Yaocen didn't know about Qingdi being framed and killed, if he came back from outside and knew about it, he would definitely go to Qingdi to discuss it again, Chu Chengguan favored Chu Yaocen again, maybe this matter would be closed in the future, and her maid would die in vain. Therefore, it is best to let Chu Yaocen not find Qingdi.
She didn't leave immediately, hesitated for a moment, and said: "By the way, mother-in-law, everyone in the Chu family knows about Qingdi's affairs in the ancestral hall, if someone framed her for the death of this maid, maybe someone will continue to frame her in the future, so it's better to change her place and not let others know." The main thing is to protect the green flute. ”
After hearing this, the old lady nodded and said, "Well, it's rare for you to be so caring, so where should you send her first?" ”
He rolled his eyes, and estimated that the place Chu Yaocen didn't want to go to was the courtyard where his mother lived before, and that courtyard had been abandoned for many years, and it was rumored among the people that the place was haunted, and no one would approach it on weekdays. So He said: "It's better to send it to the place where Yao Cen and his mother live, I will ask someone to clean the yard, find someone to serve Qingdi, don't call her any difference from weekdays, after all, she is also the serious daughter-in-law of our Chu family." ”
After hearing this, the old lady felt that this was handled properly, so she nodded and said, "Okay, you can do it." ”
After hearing this, He went out.
In order not to let other people in the house know, she deliberately called someone she absolutely trusted to send Qingdi to that courtyard, so that Chu Yaocen and Qingdi's contact would be completely cut off, and it would be more convenient to deal with Qingdi in the future.
Bai Qingqing returned to her yard, there were not many people in her yard, and now that Xiaoice is dead, it is even more empty. Sen'er woke up once, seemed to be fine, ate something, and lay down to fall asleep again.
Bai Qingqing looked unusually stable, and he didn't seem to be affected by today's events.
After a while, someone suddenly came and knocked on the door, and Bai Qingqing immediately asked vigilantly, "Who?" ”
"Madam, it's a subordinate."
Bai Qingqing heard this familiar voice, got up and went over to open the door, the person flashed in quickly, and Bai Qingqing quickly closed the door again.
"I haven't been out since I came back in the evening, what's going on outside?" Bai Qingqing asked him.
"When the second young master Chu came back and heard that the second young lady had killed someone, he wanted to go to the ancestral hall to find the whereabouts of the second young lady, but the second young lady had been transferred to another place, he went to the old lady and asked where he was, but the old lady did not see him." The man replied.
"Oh? Qingdi was imprisoned somewhere else? Don't let Chu Yaocen know? Bai Qingqing wrinkled his brows and thought for a while, and suddenly understood that it must be that He was afraid that Qingdi would see Chu Yaocen, and the two discussed what countermeasures to take. She hooked the corners of her mouth, which made it easier for herself.
"Then do you know where Qingdi is being held?" Bai Qingqing asked him again.
