Chapter Eighty-Nine: Tears
I didn't expect the sixth aunt to be so strong and forbearing, at that time she should have been just a jasper year, she was alone in Yangzhou City, full of grief and hatred for the loss of her loved ones, not only to run for her livelihood, but also to avenge her sister. Now I can say it very plainly, what a terrible situation it was at that time.
If it were me, I would definitely rush into the Su family impulsively, toss with my life, and was instructed by my mother to drive people out of Yangzhou City with sticks. Or, in order to protect the reputation of the Su family, the mother may secretly use some dirty means.
The father also seemed to remember that time, and his eyes were full of pity and guilt for the two sisters: "Why didn't you come to me in the first place, I will always administer justice for your sister." ”
The sixth aunt smiled bitterly: "My sister's bones are not cold, you already have a new love, how can I believe you with such a heartless act?"
I once planned to sneak into the mansion as a subordinate, but later I found out that the rules of the Su family are stricter, especially the subordinates who have just entered the mansion, not only do they have no status and freedom, but it is even more taboo to talk about right and wrong in private. I had to abandon the idea.
I accidentally heard that you were going to Bashu to do a business, and the opportunity was rare, so I took my sister's ashes to follow a caravan and returned to Bashu one step ahead of you. I took great pains to arrange two chance encounters with you in Bashu. ”
The sixth aunt looked at her father, hid her face and cried: "My mother is not doing well after remarrying, she cried and begged me, she didn't want to lose my only daughter again, but I was bent on going my own way." is not only unwilling to die for my sister, but also because of ...... Willing. I find that I have pretended to do it to you, the more depressed and presumptuous I become. ”
When her father heard this, he couldn't bear it, and gently patted her on the shoulder to show comfort.
My father's every move, every subtle expression, my mother saw it in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. finally couldn't hold it back, and asked loudly: "The third aunt had an accident back then, and we were also very sad, but when she had a heart attack and her subordinates were derelict in their duties, we did not investigate it deeply. Even if I am sloppy, you should not vent this hatred on me. ”
The sixth aunt raised her head and asked in a loud voice: "Heart attack, dereliction of duty?" That's why you sold your sister's personal maid Ya'er to the bitter cold land in the north, and killed Yan'er? ”
"Kill people?" The mother asked suspiciously, "Why do you say this?" It was indeed because of nonsense that Ya'er spread rumors about the third aunt that I sent her out. As for Yan'er, didn't she fall into the lake and drown? And what does it have to do with me? ”
"What a coincidence?" The sixth aunt smiled coldly and said, "I just tried my best to get close to her and ask her about my sister's life, and within half an hour of breaking up, she fell into the lake and drowned. A person like you in the city, can't you really see that Yan'er was thrown into the lake after she was killed? The inside of her mouth and nose was clean, and there was not a trace of silt from the lake. ”
Indeed, if a person drowns, she struggles in the water and cries for help, and there will definitely be mud and sand left in her mouth and nose. The corpses that were killed and then thrown into the water had their mouths and noses clean because they stopped breathing.
The father turned his head to stare at the mother, and a little coolness oozed from his doubts.
"Even if that Yan'er was killed and I whitewashed the peace, then it can't be assumed that it was my hands and feet, right? I have never done anything wrong, I have no grievances with her, what should I do to her? You have no evidence, why should you blame me? The mother was so angry that she put her hand on her forehead, as if she was a little dizzy. She had already lost too much blood, but now she was angry, angry, and naturally unwell.
I stepped forward to help my mother, let her sit down on the Taishi chair, and gently caressed her heart, and she slowly came to her senses.
"Unsubstantiated? If I had the credentials, do you think you would still be alive and well? I have fought with my life, and I will die with you.
It's just that now, I already have Qingchou and Ming'er, and I'm worried that once I make a mistake, it will affect the two children, so I have to ask for a red prescription with a lot of money.
I originally thought that this poison would leave no traces, and no one would suspect me if I killed you, but I didn't expect that Qingwu's return home would ruin my big thing.
I didn't expect that at such a young age, she would have such a deep city government and quietly hide it from me. I thought she was just stumbling into the right prescription and delaying the onset of toxicity, but who would have thought that she had already been on guard.
Blame me for the kindness of my woman, hesitated for a long time, and was only one step too late! ”
The sixth aunt's face became more and more embarrassed, and even a little iron-blue, which showed the resentment in her heart. She must have hated me together.
The father frowned, stared at the face of the sixth aunt, and said in a deep voice: "Ridiculous! With such a lame excuse, you have been convicted of her guilt? The Yamen still needs human and material evidence to give the defendant a chance to defend himself. You secretly poisoned her before the matter came to light, don't you want to think about it, if she is innocent, do you want to feel guilty for the rest of your life? Will your sister's spirit rest in heaven? ”
The sixth aunt looked at her father with tears in her eyes, her eyes were full of pain: "Master, you also think too badly of me." If I was so hasty, I did it when I first entered the government more than ten years ago, why wait until today? ”
My heart sank, did the sixth aunt have any evidence of her mother's murder of the third aunt? What role does the mother play in these things? I held my breath for fear of missing a word.
"The sky pays off, the man in my sister's family who was a child bride finally found Ya'er who was sold to the north by his wife last month, and I ransomed her body. She told me everything that had happened. ”
The expression on her mother's face was obviously stagnant, and her face became more and more pale: "What nonsense did she talk to you about?" ”
The sixth aunt snorted coldly, trying to hide her anger: "Hmph! Now you know you're scared, right? When you were jealous, you bought the doctor in the house, and why weren't you afraid when you prescribed the wrong medicine to my sister? Knowing that my sister has a heart disease, she can't stand being frightened, and when she finds someone to pretend to be a ghost and deliberately scare my sister, why is she not afraid? In order to destroy the evidence of the crime, you did not hesitate to dig up the grave without conscience, and when you exposed my sister's body to the wilderness, why were you not afraid?
My sister swallowed her anger again and again, and was forced to move out of the original yard and live in a remote wisteria building, just to avoid your poisonous hands. Who would have thought that you would not let her go!
I think that apart from you, who else in the house has such a femme fatale, and who else has such power?! ”
The sixth aunt's words were aggressive, and her expression was a little hideous, and her mother's body shrank obviously, showing a lot of panic.
Standing behind my mother, I couldn't help but feel a chill rise from the soles of my feet as I looked at her slightly thin back. Although I had heard about my mother's methods for a long time, I still couldn't help but be a little frightened when I heard the sixth aunt's sad and hateful accusation.
The father turned and looked at the mother with disappointment in his eyes.
The sixth aunt had the upper hand and was not surprised, on the contrary, a trace of imperceptible desolation appeared on her face, and her eyes were confused:
"At the beginning, Ya'er had a deep relationship with my sister's master and servant, and often secretly went to pay tribute to her, and felt unhappy for my sister's death behind her back.
In order to cover up your crimes and damage your image of virtue and virtue, you used the pretext of Ya'er to deceive people's minds, secretly found personal traffickers, and sold Ya'er to the bitter cold land of the far north.
Thanks to a distant relative of Ya'er in Yangzhou City, we can find her and expose your evil heart.
It's just that I pity me, in order to avenge my sister, I flattered you, provoked the people in the house to laugh, and made my own two biological children look down on me and be extremely estranged. It's a pity that in the end, I still can't kill you and relieve the hatred in my heart. ”
The father shook his head and looked at his mother: "Wanqing, you have disappointed me a little, I have always believed in you so much, and handed over the entire Su family to you to take care of, I didn't expect you to be such a vicious woman!" ”
The mother was obviously unable to control her emotions, her body trembled, her lips trembled, but she could not speak for a long time. She was already poor in her own right, and she was already crumbling like a dead leaf in the cold wind. Now that he is being scolded by the sixth aunt, it seems that he is holding a breath in his heart, and he can't lift it and swallow it.
She looked at her father's face, and was anxious to explain to him, but her lips trembled and she couldn't speak, as if half of her face was numb.
My heart was shocked. If she is so excited again, I am afraid that it will not be good for her health. Quickly took out the silver needle from her waist, grabbed her right hand, pinched the tip of her index finger, and stabbed it hard. Then squeeze out a drop of slightly black bruises. The fingertips are connected to the heart, and a needle must be painful, but the mother seems to have lost consciousness and doesn't even shrink down. I hurried the same method, squeezing out a drop of blood from all her remaining fingertips.
The mother obviously breathed a sigh of relief, calmed her mind, and then spoke: "I admit that the third aunt has just entered the mansion and won the favor of the master, I am a little jealous in my heart, and I also embarrassed her openly and secretly, and did some tricks and feet that could not be put on the stage. However, I swear that the death of the third aunt has nothing to do with me, and I have never done anything detrimental to Yin morality. ”
The father still had a cold face, and looked at the mother suspiciously: "Am I still bad for you all these years?" He even disobeyed his mother and handed over the power of the family to you. Who are you worthy of doing this? ”
The mother closed her eyes, let out a long sigh, looked at her father, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you worth?" Do you remember what I said to you when you went to my house to propose? ”
A trace of trance flashed on his father's face, as if he was trying to capture some memories, but he finally failed.
At first, the mother looked at her father with hope, but then the hope on her face receded little by little, and her face became more and more pale, and finally she only smiled bitterly with sarcasm: "Sure enough, I still forgot." I take it as a lifelong promise you have made to me, and for you, it's just a casual remark that has long been forgotten.
