Chapter 128: The Murderer Behind the Scenes
Everyone has a good side and a bad side, and everyone can choose to hide one side and magnify the other. The reason why people are human is because they have their own ideas, they have choices, and they will restrain the evil thoughts in their hearts.
Lin Xia has always magnified her good side, she believes that if she treats people sincerely, that person will naturally return with sincerity, after all, only by comparing her heart with her heart can she make more sincere friends, which has always been pursued by Lin Xia.
However, when someone hurts the most precious son in her life, she can't forgive the murderer who hurt her son with a smile on her face, she can't forgive the murderer who hurt her son like Jesus, she is a human being, not a virgin.
Therefore, no wonder Lin Xia revealed her dark side, she is a woman who has watched all kinds of palace fighting dramas, although she can't do palace fighting house fighting, but she has more ways to punish her.
Lin Xia's words really had some effect, and the little maid suddenly trembled, but her mouth was still shouting at Mrs. to spare her life and other non-nutritious things.
"Come on, send me to the Qinglou." Lin Xia snorted coldly in his heart, there are always some people who don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin.
The voice fell, and the two sturdy entourages came out of the queue, and when they saw it, they were from Yalinju, who was currently studying with Lei Zhong, knowing that this matter had nothing to do with them, but they were frank and open, without saying a word of nonsense, and directly set up the little maid who collapsed on the ground.
Seeing the two strong men strutting away from her, the little maid panicked, and hurriedly shouted: "Husband, madam, please no, don't send me to the Qinglou...... I'll be honest, I'll be honest......"
Hearing this, the two of them stopped and dragged her back to Lin Xia.
Lin Xia's clasped hands were released, and he carefully looked at the colorful and delicate cardamom on his nails, and then looked at the little girl who collapsed on the ground, "Say it." ”
The little maid's body trembled like a sieve, and her voice was much weaker, "Slave, slave maid is from ......"
Lin Xia was dissatisfied with her voice as low as a mosquito, "What are you afraid of, as long as you tell the truth, I will protect you from death." ”
The little maid hurriedly kowtowed, "The slave maid is the pastry taken from Mr. Zhou's hand, a total of two copies, let me send them to the eldest young master and the second young master respectively." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lao Zhou knelt down in front of Lin Xia, his face was resentful, "Madam, this maid is talking nonsense, I have never seen this maid, how can I give her red bean cake?" ”
Lin Xia's eyes glanced at the little maid coldly, only to see that she immediately stood up, "Madam, you have to believe me, my brother has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he has been dependent on me and my mother for many years, and he has to go to the pharmacy every day to grab medicine, and my monthly money is used to recuperate my younger brother, but Mr. Zhou used my brother as a threat, threatening me to send pastries to the eldest young master and the second young master, so I had to listen to Mr. Zhou's words." ”
Aunt Liu, who was standing at the head, reacted quickly and hurriedly reported: "Madam, this girl does have a younger brother who is seriously ill all the year round. ”
The background and family relationship of these maids were all entered into the Lei Mansion after investigation, so Aunt Liu also knew the situation of these maids.
"Madam, this maid has no evidence, maybe it's a casual fabrication of reasons, I have no grievances with the eldest young master and the second young master, how could I let her send red bean cakes to the two young masters and frame them?" Lao Zhou said the truth, as if it was true.
Lin Xia raised her eyebrows, with an understated smile on her face, "Yes, this little girl only said that it was a pastry from beginning to end, but I heard Lao Zhou say that you are red bean cake, how can you be so sure that the second young master eats red bean cake instead of sour plum cake?" ”
Lao Zhou's face froze, obviously he was negligent, he was patronizing how to think of a set of words for himself just now, but he didn't notice what the maid said.
In fact, there is still some truth in what Lao Zhou said, Lao Zhou has no grievances with Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er, how could he let the little maid send them this red bean cake that has been contaminated with chickenpox for no reason? Lin Xia really couldn't understand it, and could only suspect that there was another person behind Lao Zhou.
"Lao Zhou, don't make so many excuses, let's say, who asked you to send the red bean cake." Lin Xia sipped the chrysanthemum tea that had just been brewed, and said: "If you tell the truth, your punishment will be reduced as appropriate, if you don't say it, I don't want you to be desolate in your old age." ”
Lao Zhou lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then raised his head, "Madam, it's the second lady of the Lin Mansion, who gave me a hundred taels of silver and two red bean cakes, and asked me to give the red bean cakes to the eldest young master and the little young master to eat." ”
Second lady? Su Xiaoxiao?
Lin Xia snorted coldly and pulled his hands tightly.
She has no more and no less feud with the Su family, only two, the most recent is the incident of Cuiyu's premature birth, but afterwards I heard Cuiyu mention the gossip of his family, saying that it is Su's child Lin Congcong has been raised by the Du family since then, and he is not allowed to get close to the Su family, and he is not allowed to meet, which is quite pitiful, after all, it is his own child.
Unexpectedly, the Su family actually blamed Lin Xia for this incident, she thought that it was Lin Xia who came to the door and said that Lin Congcong was wrong, which caused her to lose her child and let her status in the Lin Mansion plummet, so her resentment towards Lin Xia was growing day by day, so she thought of such a vicious move.
Young children's immunity is very poor, the younger the child has chickenpox, the more careful they have to be, in ancient times in such an environment, there were also many young children who died of chickenpox, Su's trick was obviously to kill Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er.
Lin Xia almost crushed her teeth in anger, she has always adhered to the creed that if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and if people offend me, if they break me, why should she be polite.
Worried about Lin Xia's mood fluctuations, Dong Ling hurriedly handed over the tea beside him, "Madam, dissipate your anger, don't hurt the child in your belly because of anger." ”
Hearing Dong Ling's instructions, Lin Xia hurriedly took a few deep breaths to ease his anger, "I know. ”
Lao Zhou and the little maid were still kneeling, waiting for Lin Xia's verdict, and the rest of the people didn't dare to come out, for fear that they would be affected by Lin Xia's anger.
Seeing Lin Xia said coldly, "Old Zhou, remove the post of steward of Lei Mansion, and Uncle Fu will take over, and he will be demoted to a stable worker, and the one hundred taels of silver collected will be confiscated, and everyone will be evenly distributed among the silver money of the month, except for the fine of half a year's monthly money." ”
Hearing such a verdict, Lao Zhou's face was like ashes, and he was unwilling to hinder Lin Xia's identity, and he didn't dare to say anything.
As he spoke, Lin Xia looked at the little maid who was trembling on the ground, "As for you, in fact, there is nothing wrong with you, you are threatened, but you can turn to Aunt Liu and Aunt Fu if you are threatened, they will report the matter to me, and I will make decisions for you and protect your family; It's a pity that you didn't, but you listened to Lao Zhou's orders and let the second young master suffer. For the sake of your brother's serious illness, he was demoted to a low-class maid and fined half a year's money. ”
The little maid thought that she was going to be expelled from the Lei Mansion, but she didn't expect to stay, after all, even if she was a low-level maid in the Lei Mansion, she could eat and drink enough, and she should also enjoy the benefits, so she was grateful at this time, and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, madam." ”
"Your brother is seriously ill now, you can send him to the pharmacy of the Longmen Dart Bureau, Yalinju can pay half of the expenses for treatment, and the rest will be deducted from your monthly money."
Although Lin Xia was able to expose her vicious side in order to protect her children, her kind side was not hidden.
The little maid didn't expect that Mrs. would actually think about her younger brother, so she suddenly burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam!" ”
After calling her up, Lin Xia slowly got up from the chair, her face was still cold, "In my Lei Mansion, I don't allow any dissent to murder others and frame others, if you are threatened, you can turn to Aunt Fu and Aunt Liu, I can make decisions for you." As long as you are loyal to the Lei Mansion, do things well, and work hard, I can promise you the benefits and rewards you deserve. ”
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
Lin Xia waved his hand, "Everyone can disperse." ”
When the words fell, everyone dispersed in an orderly manner, and returned to their respective posts, but when they went back, they couldn't help whispering, everyone didn't expect Mrs. to have such a side, although I had heard that Mrs. once kicked out a maid who tried to seduce / lure the master out of the house, but that was just heard, and it was better to see than to hear.
Back in the room, Lin Xia specially asked Dong Ling to relay the message to Agarwood, and asked Agarwood to refine some poison that could not be found, she wanted Su Xiaoxiao to enjoy it.
Lei Biao pushed the door in, and entered Lin Xia angrily wrote something on the paper, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile deeply, "Xia'er, can you find out who attacked Xiao Chen'er?" ”
"It's the woman of the Su family, we came to her to find trouble when Cuiyu was born prematurely, and we have been hated since then." Lin Xia said bluntly, still a little annoyed in her words, "She dares to let my son eat red bean cake with chickenpox, and I dare to let her eat the pastry with ingredients!" ”
Lei Biaojun raised his eyebrows, he only felt that Lin Xia was cute and tight, and most women tried their best to maintain their beautiful image in front of their husbands, even if there were any bends and bends in their hearts, they would hide them as much as possible. It's good for her to say it directly, not at all worried that he will think that Lin Xia is a vicious woman.
Maybe the words just now didn't go through his brain, but after speaking, Lin Xia reacted to what he had just said, and hurriedly opened his big watery eyes and said, "Husband, you just listened to what I said, you won't hate me because of it, right?" ”
Lei Biao's eyebrows furrowed instantly, pretending not to speak.
Seeing this, Lin Xia became anxious, pulled Lei Biao's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Husband, aren't I too angry, that woman dares to harm Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er, they are my precious sons, I was born with ten months of hard work, I am also too angry......"
Seeing that he still didn't react, Lin Xia gently grabbed his sturdy arm and shook it gently: "Husband~ Don't be angry, I'm just angry for a while, isn't Xiao Chen'er guilty of this, don't you feel sorry for him at all?" ”
