Chapter Twenty-Seven: Questioning
Ji didn't expect the old lady to ask in advance, and when her heart was raised, she was afraid that Mother Li would recruit someone who shouldn't have been recruited, and while staring at the confession paper, she also stared at Hua Jintang's face.
As his face grew darker and darker, her whole body seemed to be immersed in ice water little by little, and she shivered and her heart trembled.
Jiao Niang's eyes fell on her hands that were whitewashed without a trace of fine lines, and she grabbed the armrests of the chair hard because of nervousness and fear, so that the green tendons on the back of her hands burst violently, like green snakes entrenched on her skin, wanting to break out.
The green snakes seem to be the embodiment of Jiao Niang, wanting to tear off the mask of hypocrisy and dig out the wart and carbuncle hidden in her shadows.
The old lady raised her face at a mother-in-law, who stepped forward with a yellow paper bag, put it on the table and opened it for Hua Jintang to see, the old lady said: "In order to confirm her confession, I asked people to go to Li's mother early this morning to search, and sure enough, I found this bag of things." I also found a doctor to check, and it was indeed realgar. It may be that she saw that this thing was still worth some money, and she was reluctant to throw it away. ”
With a "bang", Hua Jintang slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "It's really vicious, it's extremely vicious!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and there was pain and hatred that could not be concealed, "The third aunt is such a gentle and kind person, but she was poisoned by your cheap maid." Say, 'Who ordered you?'
Ji quietly breathed a sigh of relief and returned to normalcy, but fortunately he didn't recruit them all.
Mother Li was shocked, her eyes flustered and helpless. Jiao Niang stepped forward and read the confession, and then went to her side, "Mother Li, you have nurtured me for a few years, and you can be regarded as a nurturing grace to me, if you can tell who is the mastermind, I will intercede with my father for you, maybe he can spare your life." ”
Mother Li's eyelids were raised, and she looked at Jiao Niang suddenly, with a desire to live in her eyes, as hot as a flame.
"Mother Li, your murder of the third aunt is an unforgivable crime, if you talk nonsense and bite others indiscriminately, be careful of harming the whole family!" Ji immediately shouted.
Mother Li looked frightened when she heard this, and shook her head, "No, no one instructed me." ”
Ji Shi looked at Jiao Niang, there was a smug look that could not be concealed, Jiao Niang gritted her teeth fiercely, and then said sharply: "Mother Li, you said that no one instructed you, then why did you kill my aunt?
"No, I didn't want the third aunt's life. A loud shout made Li's mother blurt out.
"You didn't think about it, then who wanted!" Jiao Niang continued to ask.
Mother Li tugged at the clothes on her chest, gasping vigorously, her eyes wandered around everyone's faces, and finally fell on Ji's face.
Ji's eyes were horizontal, and Li's mother was so frightened that she retracted her eyes, lowered her head and trembled.
Hua Jintang leaned towards Ji's family, his eyes seemed to be open, as if he was looking at her carefully, and as if he was distracted and immersed in unreachable memories.
After a long time, he turned his gaze back and looked at Li's mother, and he couldn't hear any emotion in his voice, "You tell me honestly, did anyone instruct you to do this?"
Li's mother was at a loss, she just cried and crawled to him, "It's all slaves and maids who are confused for a while, master, you spare the slaves and maids......"
This cry for mercy was a firewood piled up in Hua Jintang's chest, and the anger was pushed to the extreme, he kicked Mother Li to Ji's feet, and the angry voice was like a chime striking on an ancient bell that had gone through a hundred years, and it spread loudly throughout the entire Bailing Hall, "You still have the face to spare you, I tell you, if you are just an accomplice in this matter, I may spare your life, if it is your idea, I want your whole family to bury the third aunt!"
Ji Shi pretended to be calm, but she only felt that her throat was tight, and she swallowed hard to relieve it a little. Mother Li was at her feet, but she didn't dare to look over, her eyes were level ahead, and her hands were tightly gripping the armrest, so that she could stabilize her mind slightly.
The old lady pressed Hua Jintang and asked him to sit down, "What are you talking about, a family like ours that does good deeds and accumulates virtues can really do things that destroy people?"
In the old lady's heart, she didn't care much about the death of the third aunt, to put it bluntly, she was just a concubine, at most she was a woman her son liked.
It was only because this matter involved the Ji family that she got involved.
Since Mei Niang married into the Rui Wangfu, Ji's attitude towards her is not as respectful as day by day, she really can't get used to her, especially yesterday, in the Rui Wangfu, everywhere in front of her to show the posture of Rui Wang's mother-in-law.
She held her breath, just when Mother Li bumped into her, she took this matter to block Ji Shuning's heart, which can be regarded as a trick to catch her, and she will become more and more arrogant in the future.
It's just that she didn't want this opening to get bigger and bigger, especially when she did it herself, so she asked Li's mother half of the question. The other half, she is just a bystander.
The old lady stayed out of the way, and understood that although the old lady didn't like Ji, it was not to the point of putting her to death, so she would not do anything to add fuel to the fire at this time. On the contrary, even in order to calm down the matter, he will speak for the Ji family, how to say that this is also a family ugliness, and family ugliness should not be publicized.
The old lady's attitude worried Jiao Niang, but what made her even more anxious was that Mother Li was afraid of Ji and refused to tell the mastermind.
I wanted to move her with affection, but when I thought about it, she was a ruthless person, only looking at money, and she had no affection for this kind of person at all.
After thinking about it again, Jiao Niang slowly squatted beside Mother Li and said in a low voice: "Mom, have you ever heard of a sentence that says that there is a debtor who is wronged?"
Mother Li's face was as white as paper in an instant, without a trace of blood, and Jiao Niang's voice was lower, like a ghost, "You said that your aunt turned into a ghost and haunted you, but I don't know that it's because she doesn't know the real culprit who killed her, so I can only look for you." If you don't tell me what you are behind the scenes, do you want to be haunted by your aunt's unjust ghost for the rest of your life, and you will never have peace?"
Mother Li's widening eyes almost bulged, "No, I don't want to." ”
"Then you should tell her who the real murderer is, or she will never let you go. "Every word of Jiao Niang is squeezed out from between her teeth, word by word, exuding a compelling coldness.
She slowly approached Mother Li and whispered in her ear in a voice that only two people could hear, "I will drag you and me to hell together, and let you suffer the taste of skinning and bone-pulling every day, endlessly." ”
Mother Li stared at Jiao Niang's face in horror, and she couldn't tell whether it was Jiao Niang or the third aunt in front of her, "I recruit, third aunt, I recruit, the person who instructed me is-yes-"
"Mother Li!" Ji suddenly drank loudly, and Mother Li turned her face to look at her, "You have to think clearly." ”
The longevity lock in her hand reflected a silver light, like a poisonous snake spitting out a tongue, burrowing into Li's mother's eyes, and wanted to devour people.
Mother Li's eyes were like nails nailed to the long-life lock, her breath was suffocated, and her heart was full of endless despair......
