Chapter 229: Being a thief is weak
It's a pity that Mrs. Song is a thief, lest this is Aunt Liu's backhand to threaten herself. So, after thinking about it, she finally decided to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Coincidentally, he tried to divert Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang's attention with this.
After all, at that time, she and Lord Song both heard with their own ears that Xu Chu had proved Aunt Liu's innocence. If the murderer was the one present, if he had some brains, he would not have bothered to kill Aunt Liu anymore.
It's a pity that Xu Chu will never speculate on the psychology of a scheming murderer according to common sense. What she could think of, Xu Chu could naturally guess.
"Last night, there was a fire in the flower room, probably because Mrs. found that Aunt Liu was struggling, and ravaged many peonies in the flower room. Compared with Aunt Yang, who was tied up and poured into Yang Xi's throat at that time, Aunt Liu has a strong desire to survive. ”
And Aunt Liu, who was about to fall into a coma with difficulty breathing, instinctively sought an outlet to get fresh air. In the process, you'll have to kick over the pot or trip over the flower bed, and your unique bouquet will be rubbed. Naturally, the juice of those petals will also be contaminated with Aunt Liu's hands and body. ”
"What's more, you know that the evidence you hide in the flower room will be discovered sooner or later. Therefore, the best way is to create an accident and let the flower house be burned down. ”
At this time, there was only Xu Chu's voice in the hall, calm but with a chill on his face, "Lord Lao sent someone to the ruins of the flower room, and dug down according to the position of the flower bed in the flower room at the beginning, I can't think of a foot that will definitely be gained." ”
Without waiting for Song Derong to give orders, Mrs. Song had already slowly raised her head, she looked at Xu Chu for a long time, and then smiled miserably: "Don't bother, just like you said." Aunt Yang was killed by me, and Aunt Liu was also killed by me. ”
"As for the accomplice...... she suddenly softened her eyes for a moment, looked at Song Xin'er who was at a loss beside her, and said sarcastically, "Isn't it the eldest lady who has been spoiled/spoiled by the Song family?" ”
Now she has lost her disguise, and she can no longer maintain her usual calmness and dignity.
"Mother......" Song Xin'er didn't know why Mrs. Song suddenly looked at her with a fierce look in her eyes, shrunk for a moment, and pursed her lips with teary eyes.
And Mrs. Song, who was still pretending to be calm just now, suddenly became angry at this time, and suddenly scolded: "Don't call me mother, I'm not your mother......"
In fact, she has long been a strong outsider, but in the face of the so-called eldest daughter who has hated and hated for more than ten years, she still can't help but roar.
"Why do you call me mother, if it weren't for you, why would I be so miserable. On the day of production, my favorite husband brought back a wild seed from outside, and insisted that the wild seed was the eldest daughter of the Song family. I originally thought that since Xiao Hua's death, he has neglected me because he is busy with official business, or because he is depressed. Na Cheng thought that he had simply raised the woman next to him outside. Mrs. Song felt sad in her heart, she sneered, pointed to the Song family present, and said abruptly, "Later, I thought that most men in the world are affectionate. Since his heart is no longer in me, then I will guard my daughter, respect him as a guest, and be a good wife. ”
"But what about the result? The old lady will raise the wild seed, whether it is the old lady or the eldest brother, they will regard her as the pearl of the palm, so that it is not enough for me and my daughter to retreat everywhere, and the old lady also personally brought the fox into the house to make a concubine for the prime minister. Do you know how my heart hurt and how I hated at that time? She pounded her hand on her chest and almost fainted.
"The slut of the Yang family told me personally that the so-called eldest daughter of the Song family is her daughter. She was born on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, and everyone in the Song family knew about it except me. ”
"I wanted to live in peace with her, but I didn't expect that even if I tried my best to bring my son, they couldn't tolerate it." Speaking of her son, Mrs. Song's eyes burst out with cold and astonishing hatred, she pointed at Song Derong, and then pointed to the old lady sitting at the bottom of the head, and said resentfully, "You dare to say that my son really died by accident?" How could a child who was only a child of the moon contracted smallpox and said that he would die? Do you really think I'm stupid? ”
Song Derong's expression was ugly, obviously a little sad. He doesn't like this so-called lady, and he doesn't even have a deep relationship with the Song family's back house. After all, in his opinion, the plan ordered by Rong Gong is the right thing.
However, he is not an ascetic after all, and after that night, he was quite happy to know that Song Li was pregnant. After all, when Rong Gong's plan is completed in the future, he will naturally follow the rich and unequaled, and if he has a son, he will go to his own regrets.
Left and right, no matter what the boy's last name is, it is his blood that flows in his body. In the future, if he is a supreme minister, then it will naturally be no problem to change his son's surname.
However, he did not expect that one day when he returned, he suddenly learned that his son had contracted smallpox. And the old lady and the old lady hurriedly discarded the child's body in order to prevent extraneous branches.
He also thought about looking for it at the time, but when he thought of the consequences, his little unbearability completely dissipated. You must know that once the news of the smallpox of the young master in the house spreads, the Song Mansion will inevitably be isolated. Even he had to temporarily put aside the official duties of the yamen and return to his house to wait.
During this period, no one knows whether Rong Gong will send someone to come again, or whether Liu Rangmo will take the opportunity to completely replace Xu Qinhe.
If he can endure humiliation, erase his own existence and live in place of Song Derong, he will never let everything he has paid for others in vain. So, almost without thinking about it, he acquiesced to the ideas of the old lady and the old lady, and even suppressed all kinds of speculations of the people in the house.
"Such a small and soft person, the old lady can really do it. It's been so long, I don't know if you will dream of him in your dreams, will he say that he is cold and hurts? At this time, the corners of Mrs. Song's mouth had been bitten by her angry self, oozing red blood, which was shocking to see. As if she didn't know the pain, she sneered and let out a sigh, "The old lady is a smart person, I didn't even find out that she was pretending to be crazy and stupid." Originally, I asked her and the old lady to say goodbye every day, and the soothing soup I sent when I asked for peace had already been filled with cinnabar. Of course, sometimes it is also changed to alum. ”
"Since the Song family treats me like that, why should I be a good wife and mother, just let them live without life and death, and live to see how I pull the Song family to hell."
Xu was a little dizzy with the roar just now, or she had an outlet for her unscrupulous storytelling, which calmed her down a little. Now, after the hysteria, Mrs. Song leaned back on the back of the chair again.
"Actually, I have long guessed that the so-called haunted thing is very likely to be Shuangniang, but so what, she frightened the old lady and the old lady and made the two go crazy, which is something that won my heart. How could I really track down and find it, and even make it convenient for her to act in the Song family. ”
"Aunt Yang, why did I kill her." Mrs. Song straightened her cuffs, took a deep breath, and then said slowly, "Because I want to see how many faces she wears, what kind of spirit she is." How did you become a double mother for a while, and a wine seller for a while......"
"As for Aunt Liu, she helped Aunt Yang trample on me and my daughter not once or twice. What's more, she probably saw my killing. So, even if you don't have to stay, you have to pay some price. ”
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Song Xin'er looked at Mrs. Song in panic, and the whole person was at a loss, very helpless. She just wanted to step forward, but when she met Mrs. Shangsong's fierce and cold gaze, she couldn't help but stay in place.
"Who is your mother, because of you, my family is not married, my daughter is married far away, and my son dies early, you are a disaster. Do you think I really want to mend your clothes and make soup for you? Mrs. Song raised her chin and looked at Song Xin'er with disdain and disdain, "Do you know why Song Xin'er listened to me so much that she didn't even dare to resist?" ”
Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered a murder case in his previous life about the so-called manipulating people's hearts. In fact, in the final analysis, it is just a mallet and candy until the victim does not dare to fight anymore.
With just a little speculation, Xu Chu could imagine what would happen if Song Xin'er, who had lost the protection of the old lady and the eldest master, fell into the hands of Mrs. Song, who was full of hatred.
It is precisely because of this that Song Xin'er said that sentence, she was obedient and didn't beat her, but gave her food......
At this time, the servant who had gone to dig the flower garden also hurried back with a pile of dirt-stained objects. It can be seen that the expressions of several people are very shocked, which is incredible.
"Yan'er, let's take a look, are these the brocade quilts that your aunt covers on weekdays?" Xu Chu looked at the dazed Yan'er and asked softly.
Yan'er stepped forward to take a look and nodded again and again, "It's indeed built by my aunt." ”
When Xu Chu stepped forward and opened it, everyone found that there was a spoon and a rope inside.
"There was still solidified tin on the spoon, and there were many blood stains on the quilt." Xu Chu raised the quilt, but saw that in the dust, there were many withered and curled leaves falling.
"Hey, there's really something. But Sister Chu, how do you know that as long as you dig less than a foot, you can find these things? Xiao Mingzhu looked at the evidence that was enough to convict, her eyes widened, and she asked in surprise.
Xu Chu glanced at her, and the melancholy and sorrow in her heart were also dispelled by her startled words. She restrained her emotions and explained: "She is in a hurry at night, and the eldest lady, though obedient, has never done much coolie work, and does not dig holes with those hoes that tend to flowers and plants. In addition, Feng'er once said that after Aunt Yang died, Mrs. turned over the soil in the flower room. From this I have to surmise that she didn't bury anything deep. The next day, the unusual tending of the grass and trees was also to make sure that the things buried during the night were not exposed. ”
