Chapter 48: Torture
Tao came in full makeup, and the news of Cheng Shaomu's return, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law naturally reciprocated to her.
The husband is back, how the newlywed wife is not excited. Especially if they haven't met them yet, first impressions are important, not love at first sight, but at least a good impression.
Especially her appearance, which is really beautiful, can only be saved by makeup.
"Big grandma is coming......"
The little girl passed through, and Dow slowly walked into the door, both in terms of makeup and demeanor.
"To Mrs., uncle, please ......"
Tao said, but he didn't feel that he was aiming at Cheng Shaomu.
Sure enough, as rumored, he is a young talent, especially his appearance, he is even more handsome.
Cheng Shaomu didn't have much patience, and he didn't even look at Tao's appearance carefully, but just asked: "Why did you suddenly send your sister to Tao's house that day?" ”
Tao's originally smiling face suddenly became stiff, and said: "I sent Shen Xiu to Tao's house to get silver silk cakes, she is a girl, I am the master, I sent her to work, is it also wrong?" ”
Although Shen Xiu was abducted, she was involved. But how can a girl like Shen Xiu be kept.
What's more, the buyer also gave out the silver, which can not only get a small fortune, but also get rid of a trouble, why not do it.
As for Shen Xiu's life and death, what does it have to do with her. Now Cheng Shaomu has come to question her again, it's really funny, as the wife of the prince, doesn't she even have the power to send a girl.
"Dare to quibble!!" Cheng Shaomu shouted angrily, "It's clear that you are colluding with the thieves, otherwise who would dare to rob people like this in this blue sky and white day." ”
Tao was furious, his voice became louder, and he said, "Uncle just came back, so he arrested me and asked me for the crime." I'm also the daughter-in-law of the Plains Hou Mansion who carried a sedan chair into the door, because a girl questioned like this, uncle, uncle...... It's excessive. ”
"I never thought of my sister as a girl." Cheng Shaomu said, "If you really don't want to say it, I won't be difficult for you." Whoever comes, tie up the grandmother's dowry, pull her to the firewood room to roast and ask, it doesn't hurt to kill or cripple. ”
Tao was a little frightened when she heard this, and she was called over by Mrs. Cheng to serve sooner or later in the past few days.
Just setting rules and copying scriptures made her unbearable, and now Cheng Shaomu wants to torture her girl again. Mrs. Qian is in the know, and Rouge and Jade know a little.
Mrs. Qian is okay, Rouge and Jade are afraid that they will all be recruited without being punished.
"Shao Mu ......," Mrs. Cheng said in a displeased tone, "Because of one Shen Xiu, will you make a fuss in the house?" You just came back, and if you don't say a few words to your daughter-in-law, you will torture her girl, how you let her live on face. ”
"Mother!" Cheng Shaomu could barely suppress the anger in his heart, and said forcefully: "My sister is your niece, why are you so ruthless." Now her life and death are uncertain, and you still let me pay attention to this slut, I have to tear her heart alive now. ”
Mrs. Cheng saw that Cheng Shaomu was really angry, and she didn't dare to speak.
Tao Shi is a person who doesn't shed tears when she doesn't see the coffin, and when she saw Cheng Shaomu shouting, her temperament also increased.
Her new daughter-in-law, who had just entered the door, was first caught by her mother-in-law to set rules, and her husband shouted that he wanted to tear her up. If she is allowed to be bullied like this, how will she gain a foothold in the future.
Quarreled with Cheng Shaomu hard, sprinkled it, and cried: "What kind of mistake did I make, when I met the uncle for the first time today, the uncle was going to tear me up because of a girl." Okay, tear it, I ......"
"Smack"
Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Shaomu raised her hand and slapped Tao in the face, knocking her to the ground.
slapped in the face, Tao was really honest this time, lying on the ground and not daring to make a sound.
"Someone, someone......" Cheng Shaomu roared angrily.
The mothers-in-law didn't dare to pretend to be dead anymore, so they hurriedly entered the house, bowed their heads and said, "What does the uncle command?" ”
Cheng Shaomu pointed to Tao on the ground and said, "Tie up all her dowries, pull them to the firewood room and torture them carefully, if you can't ask, you will be punished together." ”
"Yes." All the mothers-in-law should respond.
Cheng Shaomu's anger did not subside, and he pointed at Tao and said: "You'd better say it now, otherwise when the next person tortures it, I will double the punishment." ”
Dow touched his red and swollen cheeks, and he was really scared.
Originally, I thought that the wives and young masters of high-ranking families were all naïve, and their personalities were also biased towards paper tigers, and they must be afraid of making trouble by themselves.
Where did I think that neither Mrs. Cheng nor Cheng Shaomu were vegetarians. Her methods are much tougher than her shrewd tricks, and that's how it would be.
But if she really told the truth, Cheng Shaomu was afraid that she would not spare her......
Just when Tao was hesitating on the ground, a mother-in-law came to report: "Mrs. Hui, uncle, grandma's girl has all been recruited." ”
"Huh?" Cheng Shaomu was surprised and said, "Bring people in." ”
Generally speaking, the dowry girls are confidants, and they value loyalty.
In such a short period of time, people have been recruited before they reach the firewood room, and this girl is really loyal.
After a while, the mother-in-law brought Rouge and Jade in, and the two fought to confess, without torture at all.
"Uncle spares his life." Rouge and Jade cried and begged for mercy, "This matter is all due to the greed of the grandmother for money." ”
They were originally bought to serve the male host, and they had no feelings for Tao.
Now the mother-in-law is shouting and shouting to kill, where can they carry it, so they simply do all the tricks. The Plains Marquis Mansion is still quite generous to its subordinates, and this time as long as they can please the male host, they will also have a foothold.
"What nonsense are you talking about!!" Tao said angrily, and the blood in his heart was about to be angry.
Rouge cried and said, "It's really a big grandma, someone found Mrs. Qian and said that she had taken a fancy to Shen Xiu." I wanted to ask my wife to buy someone, but my wife refused. Because the master really liked it, he sent them to the grandmother. promised the eldest grandmother four hundred taels of silver, and asked the eldest grandmother to send Shen Xiu out, and they would be on the road. ”
Cheng Shaomu's whole body trembled, and even Mrs. Cheng was very surprised.
Four hundred taels of silver, this eyelid is too shallow.
"Nonsense, you dead girl, see if I don't tear your mouth." Dow said, getting up to get rouge.
Although Rouge didn't dare to fight back, he kept dodging, and the master and servant suddenly became a mess.
The jade next to him continued: "If you don't believe it, you can go and search for grandma's jewelry box, and the silver is still in it." ”
"Slut!!" Cheng Shaomu was furious when he heard this, kicked at Tao, and asked, "Say, who is the person looking for you?" ”
Dow rolled on the ground, because the kick was too heavy, and he only felt pain all over his body, but said, "I, I don't know." ”
"I dare to say I don't know!" Cheng Shaomu kicked a few more times in a row.
Dow was beaten and had nowhere to hide, holding his head and crying: "I really don't know who it is, I asked, but no one said." ”
Anyway, the silver is real, and the trouble of dealing with Shen Xiu is also real.
The other party was reluctant to say it, and she didn't force it too much.
"You!!" Cheng Shaomu only felt that his blood was churning, and he had to vomit out the blood in his heart.
raised his foot and kicked Tao a few more times, and when he wanted to fight again, Zhou Xi's family was worried that the fury would hurt people's lives, and stepped forward to persuade: "Uncle is angry, grandma is at home, you can do whatever you want." Miss Shen is outside, and she still doesn't know if she is alive or dead. ”
A word reminded Cheng Shaomu that in his anger, he only cared about getting angry, but he forgot about Shen Xiu.
The most important thing at the moment is Shen Xiu.
"What about you, do you know what the other party is about?" Cheng Shaomu questioned Rouge and Jade.
Both of them shook their heads and said, "We just heard some outside the house, and we have to ask grandma about it." ”
Zhou Xijia couldn't help but look at Mrs. Cheng, acting like this, it must have been Han Rong's doing, but do you want to say it......
Mrs. Cheng shook her head slightly, and made up her mind.
Shen Xiu lost it, Cheng Shaomu would definitely go crazy. This time he was half crazy, it was better to let him go crazy once, and then completely throw Shen Xiu away.
There is such a girl by Cheng Shaomu's side, Cheng Shaomu can't do anything.
Then there is Dow, as Zhou Xijia said, it is not a bad thing to be able to take a break early. Taking this opportunity not only makes Cheng Shaomu angry, but also divorces her and marries another good wife, which is not a bad thing.
As for Shen Xiu, it can only be said that her life is not good, no one is to blame.
Zhou Ai sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
"Slut, slut......" Cheng Shaomu couldn't ask, he was extremely angry in his heart, and turned to scold Tao.
Dow cried: "I really don't know, I really don't know......"
Cheng Shaomu believed that Tao was telling the truth, and because it was the truth, he was even more angry.
In this way, there is not even a clue. There are so many wealthy families in Qingyang, and there are even more people who can come up with four hundred taels of silver.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, where he's going to find someone.
Although he didn't have a clue, Cheng Shaomu still sat down, got up and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Cheng Shaomu paused, but didn't even answer a word, and walked out.
"Alas......" Mrs. Cheng sighed.
Zhou Xi's family is a little worried, so troublesome, I am afraid that the relationship between mother and son will be a little different.
Why bother, since Cheng Shaomu likes Shen Xiu so much, then give him Shen Xiu.
A man's love sometimes comes and goes fast; Sometimes it's rooted in my heart and I can't get over it for the rest of my life.
"Woo, woo......"
Tao saw Cheng Shaomu leaving, but he rolled on the ground and cried, shouting: "My stomach hurts, it hurts." ”
Mrs. Cheng looked at Tao, but she was full of boredom.
However, this is not a good time to send Tao away, Cheng Shaomu doesn't know what will happen to Shen Xiu in order to find Shen Xiu, and at this time, he will take a break from Tao's reputation, but he will lose the reputation of a favored wife and concubine.
Moreover, there is also the proposal of the Yan Wangfu in front of him, and one major event after another is in front of him, and the Tao family is insignificant.
The Tao family has fallen like this, if it is not suitable to divorce his wife, it will be nothing if he dies directly. But it's nothing more than giving more money and pressing things down.
Thinking so in her heart, Mrs. Cheng said: "Help the eldest grandmother back to listen to Fengxuan, today's events can't be spread." ”
