At that moment in the main room, there was no sound, and everyone's eyes were focused on Aunt Cui.

Wu Niang is not at an age where she doesn't know anything, and she can understand Mama Zhuang's words, but her eyes are puzzled and she doesn't want to believe it.

After Xue came back to her senses, knowing that everyone was waiting for her to give orders, she took a deep breath and was about to speak, Sanniang pulled her sleeve, and after seeing her look over, she leaned into her ear and said a few words.

Xue nodded, she had calmed down a lot: "Mama Yang, you take someone to interrogate the maid named Yuzhu." ”

Mama Yang took the order, and Xue instructed the mother-in-law who was pressing Aunt Cui: "Untie the handkerchief in Aunt Cui's mouth, I have something to ask Aunt Cui." ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she quickly stepped forward and pulled out the cotton cloth used to gag Aunt Cui's mouth, and Aunt Cui's lips were forced to open wide just now, and she was a little blue and wrinkled at this moment. Her mouth was free, but Aunt Cui didn't shout and say that she was wronged, she didn't even say a word, she just looked at Sanniang sitting on the kang with a pair of eyes.

"Aunt Cui, what did you get this medicine from outside for?" Xue asked with a frown.

I didn't want Aunt Cui to say anything, Xue asked again, and Aunt Cui replied after a long time: "I want to see the master." Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was calm.

Xue was about to speak, but Aunt Cui interrupted resolutely, emphasizing: "I want to see the master, and I won't say anything until I meet the master." ”

She no longer called herself a concubine.

Xue was helpless and looked at Sanniang.

Sanniang knew that Aunt Cui had been watching her, but she didn't pay attention to it, as if Aunt Cui was as insignificant in her eyes as an ant on the ground. Not worth her attention.

Sanniang smiled: "It stands to reason that this is a matter in the backyard, how should men not be allowed to interfere, presumably Aunt Cui hasn't learned the rules these days, so I don't understand." However, no matter what Aunt Cui says, she can be regarded as an old man who has served by her father's side for more than ten years. She wants that privilege...... It's really hard to refute. Mother sent someone to wait at the door, and father told him about it as soon as he returned. ”

This is to say that Aunt Cui has been serving her master for a long time, and she does not take the Xue family's stepfamily in her eyes. As soon as this remark came out. The eyes of everyone in the room looking at Aunt Cui were different, but most of them were disdainful.

Aunt Cui gritted her teeth, but she didn't speak. I endured my anger.

Xue glanced at Sanniang with some surprise. In her heart, Sanniang's temperament has always been gentle, even if she is angry, she will not speak ill of others, but today Xue feels that Sanniang's attitude towards Aunt Cui is very different.

The Xue family sent someone to wait at the door to wait for Wang Dong, according to the past, if Wang Dong had nothing to do outside in the afternoon, he would almost return home at this time.

After a while, Mama Yang asked to see her.

"Mrs. Hui, Yuzhu's girl said that Aunt Cui just gave her a prescription. Send her out of the house to grab the medicine, and don't catch every medicine in the same shop, and she doesn't know the rest. The slave asked her if she knew what kind of medicine she was grabbing. Yuzhu said that Aunt Cui only said that she didn't want people's lives, and she didn't know the rest. The slave found a prescription on her. The medicinal herbs listed above are exactly what is contained in this baggage, and Yuzhu also admits that the recipe was given to her by Aunt Cui. ”

When Mama Yang interrogated Yuzhu just now, she didn't say what the medicine in the bag was used for, but only said lightly that it was not poison and could not be eaten. In addition, Mama Yang's attitude was quite kind when she interrogated, Yuzhu thought it was not a big sin, so she said it one by one.

Xue Shi looked at Aunt Cui and saw where she was with her eyes closed, as if everything that happened outside was none of her business.

The wait of everyone in the house did not last long, and the mother-in-law sent out came to report that Wang Dong had returned.

Wang Dong listened to the report of the person sent by the Xue family, did not go to the outer courtyard, and went back to the main room.

As soon as Aunt Cui saw Wang Dong, her complexion changed, and she saw tears in her eyes, and a pair of big eyes looked at Wang Dong with extreme sadness.

"Master, save the concubine." The voice was mournful and timid, as if he had just been greatly wronged.

It's just that she wore a dark green golden gourd double happiness pattern gown today, with a variety of pearls on her head, and her hair has been messy in the struggle just now, her face and lips are no longer fresh, and she has long lost her former charm. was on the kang at the right age, and the Xue family with a flower and moon appearance was compared, and he was immediate.

Wang Dong frowned and glanced at her, and then went to the kang.

Sanniang had already gotten off the kang when she heard the announcement, and stood on the side, just in time to see Aunt Cui's pretentiousness, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she really wanted to laugh out loud.

I can't help but sigh a little, women, it's really not good to be old. No matter how beautiful you are when you are young, you can't bear the twilight.

It's just that this is an inevitable natural phenomenon, and no one can escape it, so there is nothing to complain about. Therefore, those who serve others with beauty at a young age should better find their own other virtues, or carry them forward or cultivate. Otherwise, when the beauty is already yesterday's yellow flower, but you still want to rely on it, you can only make people despise it and drop the price.

Wang Dong's eyes swept over the kang table and asked Xue, "What's going on?" ”

Xue Shi hurriedly whispered the matter to Wang Dong, after Wang Dong heard it, he was already like the bottom of the pot, any man would not have a good face when he encountered this kind of thing, this is not just a matter of face.

"Aunt Cui, what else do you have to say?" Wang Dong looked at Aunt Cui's face very coldly.

Aunt Cui has come out of the loss that Wang Dong turned a blind eye to her just now, and now she has regained her low-eyed appearance, presumably according to her cleverness and seeing the wind, she has already understood that here in the Xue family, she should not think about winning with her own appearance anymore.

"Concubine...... The concubine was wronged, and asked the master to return the concubine's innocence. Aunt Cui shook her head, tears raining down.

Her crying skills have always been first-class, and at this time, she looked as if she had really been wronged.

Wang Dong frowned, and said coldly: "Who wronged you?" Could it be that this thing wasn't found from you? You didn't send a maid to buy these things? ”

Aunt Cui paused, raised her head and glanced at Sanniang and Xue timidly, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident, but she did not deny that the things came from her, but said: "The things were indeed found from the concubine, but, but the concubine didn't know that these were harmful things." ”

Sanniang couldn't help but ask for Aunt Cui's call, everyone got the stolen goods, this burden was found from her, Yuzhu grabbed the medicine is also certified, and she can't deny it if she wants to, so she admitted it, but she pushed the blame away after changing her mouth.

Aunt Cui is like this, she was born in the market, she has not read any books, and her experience is limited, but she is self-taught but can do this, it can be said that she can be regarded as a genius.

"Father, how can Aunt Cui say that she is also the biological mother of the fifth sister, should she save some face?" Sanniang suddenly bowed to Wang Dong and said respectfully.

Wang Dong looked at the people in the room, nodded and said lightly: "You all retreat first, Mama Yang stays." ”

Aunt Cui looked at Sanniang, the emotions in her eyes were unpredictable, and seeing that Sanniang was about to retreat with everyone, she suddenly said loudly: "Please let Miss San stay, this matter is also related to her." ”

Wang Dong's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, he glanced at Sanniang, and saw Sanniang's face full of surprise and incomprehension, so he said lightly: "Since this is the case, Sanniang, you can stay." ”

Sanniang bowed down with a puzzled face and said yes, still standing on the side, very low-key.

It's just that when Aunt Cui looked at her fiercely, Sanniang replied to her with a faint smile.

She didn't clear the others at the beginning because she was afraid that Aunt Cui would bite back, saying that they planted the blame, but now that Wang Dong is here, and Sanniang has guessed that Aunt Cui wants to splash the sewage on other people's heads, so as not to cause a bad impact on Aunt Cui's words in the house in the future, Sanniang asked to remove irrelevant people.

It doesn't matter if she stays or not.

"Father, I'm going to stay too." Wu Niang said while wiping her tears.

Wang Dong glanced at Wu Niang, didn't say much, only said two words in a cold voice: "Get out!" ”

Wu Niang trembled, after all, she couldn't bear the fear of Wang Dong, and turned around three times in one step.

Only Wang Dong, Xue, Sanniang, Aunt Cui and Mama Yang were left in the house.

"Tell me, where did you get this prescription?"

When Aunt Cui heard this, her eyes turned around on the faces of everyone in the room, and finally stared at Sanniang's face, and she even said with some pleasure in her tone: "This recipe was given to the slave maid by the first lady." ”

When Sanniang heard this, her face was just the right amount of surprise.

Aunt Cui stared at Sanniang tightly: "When Mrs. Xian gave the prescription to the slave maid, she didn't say that this was a medicine that could make men infertile, only that it could soothe people's spirits and be beneficial and harmless. ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent.

In the middle of the sound, Sanniang spoke, and her voice was gentle: "Auntie, you said you don't know that this pharmacy is used to harm people?" ”

Aunt Cui tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Naturally, this is the case, otherwise who am I going to use it to harm?" What's in it for me? ”

When she said the benefits, Wang Dong's face changed. As everyone knows, now Wang Dong only has one son, Wang Jing, or a son-in-law, Wang Jing's status in the Wang family can be imagined, so Wang Dong has no son, and it is Wang Jing who can get the biggest benefit from it.

Wang Dong glanced at Sanniang, his eyes were a little unpredictable.

Sanniang sighed, sure enough......

However, she still spoke unslowly: "Auntie, the noble person must be forgetful. You were talking in front of your mother a few days ago...... It was my biological mother who drugged my father, which caused our three families to be thin. Mother said that you have no evidence, no credulity, and read that you are the biological mother of the fifth sister, and you have not blamed you, is there such a thing? (To be continued)
