Forty-Seven: The Past
"Grandmother... Grandmother, where are you talking about..."Su Peiyao was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out, and she stood up, "Granddaughter didn't... It's really the fifth sister, they deceive people too much, forcing the third sister and the seventh sister to be cornered..."
The old lady also felt sorry for Su Peiyao like this, closed her eyes deeply, and touched her head, "That's it, let's make this matter clear today, and in the future, when you get married, you will cut off the relationship between me and the people in Yingxiaju!" They're using you like a sword! ”
Su Peiyao cried and cried, didn't dare to look at the old lady, lowered her head and let her tears fall to the ground.
Su Huiyao knelt and took two steps forward, crying and said, "Grandmother, you misunderstood, my granddaughter didn't use the fourth sister as a knife... The fourth sister has no biological mother, in this huge mansion, it was the second lady who gave her a little comfort, and the granddaughter loves the fourth sister, how dare she not live with her? Grandmother, what do you say about your granddaughter, you also make your granddaughter, but don't let the fifth sister wronged her granddaughter, but the fourth sister suffered! ”
"Shut up!" The old lady blushed angrily, and looked at Su Peiyao again, "I have taken you for so many years, I thought you would be able to distinguish between right and wrong, and you would be as good as your mother-in-law, with excellent character and intelligence, but you have been coaxed by Cao's mother and daughter for so many years!" ”
The old lady clenched her fists with remorse, and slapped the table angrily, "That's it, blame me for not telling you, I wanted your wife to grow up peacefully, but if I still hide it from you today, I really can't live with your mother!" ”
Su Peiyao looked up at the old lady, confused and didn't know what she would say.
The old lady took a deep breath, "Your mother Tan is your father's wife, she is kind and intelligent, and she keeps this mansion in order, but there is one person who tries his best to get rid of her. The old lady looked at the Su Huiyao sisters, "It's your beloved second lady Cao Qianlian!" When your mother gave birth to your brother that day, it was because of Cao's visit to her, I don't know what to say, I didn't know what to say when I came back, I don't know what happened, this is probably the reason why I can't forgive her over the years, and then your father had the heart to see your mother, but because Cao said that she had a headache and chest tightness, he coaxed your father to her Yingxia residence, and didn't even see the last side of your mother! This is the second lady you treat with kindness! If it weren't for her, your mother would still be there! If it weren't for Cao's efforts to compete with your mother for favor, why didn't you even see the last side! ”
Su Peiyao only felt a headache, and the old lady's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, so shocked that her eyes widened, and her bloodshot eyes turned her head to stare at Su Huiyao and the two sisters.
"It's not true... The second lady treats me so well and thinks about me in everything, how could she harm my mother..."
"How could she not harm you? Isn't this how you and the second brother of Qingde Houfu were mixed up by them! Wake up! ”
When the old lady mentioned the past, her eyes were red, and her wrinkled hand stroked Su Peiyao's head one by one, "I am telling you this today, just to let you see who she is Cao, and where have she been wronged over the years?" Your father is reluctant to punish her for a big mistake, you tell your grandmother, where are they wronged? ”
Yes, where are they wronged?
Su Peiyao cried loudly, not only sad that she had been played around for so many years, but also sad that she had been upset for so long for the people of Yingxiaju, and only then did she realize that she had been deceived, and she was even more sad that the death of her biological mother was related to the Cao family.
Mama Zhou handed over a glass of water and wanted to give it to Su Peiyao, but was stopped by the old lady's gesture, she let Su Peiyao cry bitterly, this time she was no longer worried that her voice would be hoarse, no longer worried about how sad she was in her heart, these tears were what she should have flowed.
When Tan Xianghua died, Su Peiyao was still young and didn't remember, and the old lady took pity on her when she was young and never mentioned it to her, but she didn't want her kind thoughts to almost hurt her.
The old lady also regretted and hated, but Cao's thing was not leaky, and she couldn't catch any evidence, because Tan Xianghua's death aroused the suspicion of the old lady, she actually hanged herself to prove her innocence, Su Yao stepped into the door later, she was about to hang herself on the beam, and finally strangled her face was red and passed out.
That's why Su Yaocai thinks she's innocent, so Su Yaocai has loved her for so many years.
Su Yunyao and the others don't know about such old things, but they feel sad and unbearable when they hear it now, let alone Su Peiyao is such a party?
For a long time, they Qin Zhuxuan and the fourth sister did not agree, not for anything else, because Su Peiyao and Yingxiaju were close, they often made trouble for Qin Zhuxuan's people, and they always disrespected the eldest lady Qin Manhuai.
But she is actually quite kind in her heart, otherwise she would not have been deceived by Cao's mother and daughter for so many years.
"Let the maid of the fourth girl come over and send her back to Xianyue Pavilion." The old lady straightened her sleeves and regained her composure, "Let's continue to talk about these things about you." ”
Shui Lu Shuiju approached with a slight bow, helped Su Peiyao up and prepared to go back to Xianyue Pavilion, but Su Peiyao's legs were weak and lost strength, and she couldn't stand steadily.
The old lady frowned, only feeling distressed, but if she was allowed to grow longer and crooked again because of distress this time, then greater regrets were still waiting for her in the future, and there would be a day when she regretted being sad.
"Yu'er said that Mo'er beat you, then make it clear, you are all here today, and you will make it clear in front of the gong."
Su Yuyao had already lost her soul because of what happened to Fang Cai, and only then did she react, her lips trembling and said, "Grandmother... Grandmother Mingjian... It was the tenth sister who beat her granddaughter, and Shao Qing'er, the third daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials, and Qiao Lan, the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, can all testify for their granddaughters..."
Seeing that the third sister couldn't speak clearly, Su Huiyao was also very afraid, not only did she lose Su Peiyao's useful knife, but also pushed her mother to the forefront.
"Since there are witnesses, then call them and ask them clearly." The old lady looked at Su Yunyao and the others, "Qiao Lan, they left Su Mansion after school?" ”
"Nope." Su Qianyao replied, "Sister Qiao Lan was endorsed by Shu Xuexue, and Shao Qing'er went home." ”
"That's a coincidence, call Qiao Lan."
Qiao Lan did the same as Su Huiyao and others said, it was Su Moyao's hand that hit Su Yuyao.
At this time, Su Moyao couldn't sit still, knowing that Qiao Lan's girl had always played well with the third sister and the seventh sister, but she still expected her to testify for herself, which was simply wishful thinking.
"Grandmother, Sister Qiao Lan is lying!" Su Yunyao got up and knelt down, "The girl of the Sheng family is also there that day, and when she goes to school tomorrow, her grandmother can pass on them to ask them clearly, and they will return the innocence of their granddaughters." ”
Su Moyao also hurriedly followed and said, "Yes, yes, Sister Guizhi and Sister Gui Yan are also there, and they also reprimanded the third sister, grandmother can ask them." ”
It's completely over.
Su Yuyao raised her head and kicked Su Moyao, and when she stood up, she was about to hit her.
"Yu'er!" Cao Qianlian came in from outside the door, and after entering the house, she slapped Su Yuyao, "How can you do it with your sister!" Even if she wronged you first, she shouldn't have done this, how did my mother teach you on weekdays! ”
Su Yuyao was aggrieved, covering her face and unable to say a word.
But it is not difficult to see from her actions that she is an impatient person, and if she doesn't understand two or three sentences, she will start beating people.
The old lady has not lived in vain all these years.
was about to speak, but he heard Su Yao's voice coming from outside the door, and it seemed that Cao Qianlian had called him when he came.
"Mother is angry! Children are young, don't be angry because they are not sensible. Su Yao respectfully offered a cup of tea, and glanced at the old lady's face from time to time.
Several girls greeted Su Yao together.
"You wicked obstacles! Talking nonsense all day long, there is no girl's house at all, and it doesn't make people laugh when it is passed out? The daughter's family has learned how to beat people with men's hands, and the rules have been learned in the belly of a dog? ”
Su Yuyao was about to cry and argue, but was suffocated by Cao Qianlian's eyes.
"Shouldn't you have investigated this? Did Yu'er beat Mo'er, or did Mo'er beat Yu'er? The old lady asked in a cold voice, and put the teacup on the table with some anger.
Su Yao gave a salute: "Mother, you are angry!" If you don't let your son deal with this, your son will never wronged anyone, mother, you are not well, don't worry about it. ”
"Humph!" The old lady snorted coldly, "The second lady really has a set, and she knows that Yao'er will seal my mouth?" ”
Cao Qianlian knelt down, crying and crying, before she could speak, the old lady said, "I can't figure this out today, in my opinion, it's better to wait for the Sheng family girl to come tomorrow, let's discuss it clearly at one time, and see how many faces your beloved third daughter has." ”
"Yes, yes." Su Yao helped the old lady to get up, turned his head and scolded Su Yunyao and the others, "Don't go back yet, make your grandmother angry, see if I don't pick your skin!" ”
The mother and son in front of him are a little overdone, and the old lady is indeed a little tired.
In fact, she knew that it was the third girl who did it first, and she also planted the blame on the tenth girl, but she couldn't say it today. His son loves Cao's mother and daughter, how can he believe his empty white teeth?
It's better to come tomorrow as a witness, the identity and status are all Su Yao can't resist, and he won't be obediently convinced when the time comes? Cao can't cry, make trouble, and hang himself, only be punished.
In fact, it is common for the daughters of the boudoir to quarrel and quarrel, and a slap has never been a big event, but the old lady does not want to let the Cao mother and daughter be so rampant, and she dares to bend and slander people.
Several girls went back to their respective courtyards, although this matter had nothing to do with Su Jinyao, she was still scared, and talked to Kang Jinglan a lot.
Among them, Cao Qianlian's possible harm to Tan Xianghua's dystocia, even Kang Jinglan didn't know, and she didn't dare to believe it when Su Jinyao said it, after all, Tan Xianghua had been dead for many years when she entered the door, and no one in the house mentioned it.
"This is a life lawsuit!" Kang Jinglan was so frightened that she couldn't hold the tea steadily, "Cao Qianpian has mercy on her, where does she have the courage to be so rampant?" Since the old lady knew, why didn't she report to the official to arrest her? ”
Without waiting for Su Jinyao to answer, Kang Jinglan stood up and said to herself, "By the way, the old lady must have no evidence in her hands, otherwise with her boredom with Cao Qianlian, she would have been brought to justice a long time ago, and she could still be kept in the mansion?" ”
It turns out that she Cao Qianlian is really such a bold person, and she does things without leakage, even the old lady who has lived in the mansion for so many years has no problem with her.
Kang Jinglan originally thought that she Cao Qianlian would only pretend to be pitiful and make the lord feel distressed, but she didn't expect that she was a ruthless master.
