"But how could that old woman of the Lian clan know about this? Could it be that the woman happened to bump into her hand? ”.

Hongyu shook her head: "It's hard to say this, I'm going to go out of the house and inform my master of this matter." In the past few days, we have been looking for the whereabouts of this woman, but we have found nothing, and the master has also guessed that someone has hidden her, otherwise it is impossible to find it. If she hid in this fourth old lady, it was not impossible. ”

"But if it was really the fourth old lady who was making trouble behind, why didn't she say it when she came early this morning. But I went back and found it again? Erniang was suspicious.

Hongyu thought about it and felt that it made sense: "What you said is also right, in short, this matter must be investigated." Who the hell is behind us doing against us. I'll go first, otherwise if the old lady remembers to take down all the people in Fangzhi Courtyard later, I won't be able to leave. ”

Hearing this, Erniang only nodded: "Then you go first, remember that your master must find a way to save me and my mother." ”

Hongyu nodded, and was about to leave, but when she was about to reach the door, she suddenly stopped and turned back and asked, "That little girl and that mother-in-law outside the door are your people?" ”

Erniang thought about it before she understood who Hongyu was talking about, and hooked the corners of her mouth: "It's not my person, it's the silver person." With that, she motioned for Ruby to look at her earlobe, and then reached out her hand for Ruby to look at his bare wrist.

Hongyu thought about it and understood, Erniang was left by the Sun family last night. Because of Sun's birthday, the jewelry she wore was both exquisite and expensive, and everything was not mundane. No wonder the people in Sun's courtyard would give her this convenience.

She just felt that the little girl who brought her was a little too enthusiastic and a little suspicious. Now I listen to what Erniang said. Naturally, I understood that it turned out that money could make the ghost grind.

Ruby nodded, pushed the door open, and walked out. It's just that after leaving Songling Courtyard, she didn't go in the direction of Fangzhi Courtyard, but went straight to the second gate.

After leaving the palace, Hongyu went two streets away and rented an ordinary carriage for two pieces of silver, and got into the carriage and went out of the city.

It's just that she doesn't know. As soon as she left the house, she was followed.

At this time, in Sun's Songling Courtyard, Mama Chang also led someone to tie Liu's hands. gagged and sent to Sun's main room.

"Mama Chang stayed, and the others retreated first. Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa'" Sun pinched his eyebrows and commanded.

Others know that today's events must be extraordinary. Hearing this, he didn't dare to stop for a while, and retreated.

The Liu family has been ignorant since he was escorted back by Wang Dong. finally remembered that he had to admit his mistake in front of Wang Dong and ask for forgiveness. But I found that the door of my room was guarded, and they were all mothers-in-law I didn't know. The Liu family was about to lose his temper, but a few mothers-in-law broke in menacingly. The one who took the lead was the old lady's yard Mama Chang.

Mama Chang was still as respectful to her as ever, but the sympathy in her eyes pierced her heart with blood. And the other mothers-in-law are not as polite as Mama Chang. Some of them immediately pulled her up and took out the rope and the cloth with the gagged cloth.

She looked at Mama Chang in horror. Mama Chang sighed, and said helplessly: "Mrs. Liu, I'm sorry." This was the old lady's order, and the old slave wanted to intercede. But he was scolded. So far, there is only Mrs. Liu. When the time comes, Mrs. will say a few soft words, and if there is a mistake, she will sincerely admit her mistake, and the old lady will forgive you no matter how angry she is in her relationship for so many years. ”

As she spoke, Mama Chang nodded to the mothers-in-law. Several mothers-in-law pounced on her at once, tied her up, and gagged her. Pulled all the way over.

Liu knelt on the floor of Sun's main house at this time, feeling very humiliated.

Although she was born as a concubine, her father is not Bai Ding, although she is not as famous as the Wang family, but she is also a lady of the official family. The mother-in-law was forced to save face, and she also thought that when she got married, she could find some officialdom help for her brother, and she should be given no less.

In the end, she was coaxed by her mother-in-law to marry into the Wang family as a flat wife, and she was not without grievances at first. But from the moment she saw Wang Dong, the resentment in her heart was much less. At least my mother-in-law has a sentence that is not wrong, her husband is dignified, and then it has proved that he is indeed promising, and his official fortune is prosperous.

After Zhao died, she became the only hostess in Wang Dong's backyard, and the unwillingness when she married her had long been left behind by her and she couldn't remember it anymore.

In her life, she had never been so embarrassed.

Sun glanced at Mama Chang, who stepped forward and took off the cloth from Liu's mouth.

"Liu, are you guilty?" Sun glared at Liu.

The cause on Liu's face was slapped by Wang Dong, and the redness and swelling did not subside. But Sun just didn't see it.

"The concubine, the concubine doesn't know what crime she has committed." Anyone who is tied up like this will not be in a happy mood, and the Liu family has never been a good-tempered person, so he replied a little stiffly.

Lian on the side sneered and said to Sun: "It turns out that one of your son's concubines also dares to throw her face at you, twelve brothers-in-law, you are really going back more and more." ”

The Sun family was a little annoyed and angry when she heard this, but the stakes were so high, she didn't want to condemn the Liu family like this, so she had to endure her anger and said: "Tell me, the fire in the ancestral hall that day, is it a ghost you made behind your back." ”

When Liu heard this, his body couldn't help but tremble. Looking at the two old ladies sitting on the top with cold faces, Liu Shi trembled his lips and reluctantly said, "Old, what does the old lady mean?" ”

Seeing that her face was different, Lian Shi decided that this matter was greasy, so he immediately said coldly with a straight face: "It means that on the day of the Zhongyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of July, the fire in the Sanhuai Hall of the Wang Clan's ancestral hall was because you deliberately set it on fire." After that, he rushed into the ancestral hall pretending to be fighting a fire to rescue the ancestral tablet. It's a good thing to make this bitter trick, but your guts are inevitably too big! ”

Lian's words were loud, and Liu's couldn't resist it, and she was already paralyzed on the ground, but she still refused to admit it: "The concubine has never done such a thing." On that day, the concubine found out that the ancestral hall was on fire by coincidence, and she was anxious and couldn't find anyone who could fight the fire for a while. ”

At this time, someone outside reported that the third master was coming.

Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, it was the old man who came, and the old man must have rushed to intercede for her because he heard that she was tied up. Liu's originally collapsed waist gradually regained its strength, and there was a smile on his face unconsciously.

"Come in." Sun said as he looked outside.

After a while, Wang Dong, who was dressed in soap-colored clothes, opened the curtain and walked in, and when he saw Liu Shi, who was kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes and looking at him with a look of surprise, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

After just one glance, he walked up to Sun and Lian and saluted, and then asked, "What did my mother do when she came here to find her son?" ”

When Sun heard this, he looked at Lian.

Lian said lightly: "I asked people to call you, Liu is your concubine, this matter should naturally be known to you." lest someone blame me for being overstepping. ”

This matter should actually be regarded as a major event in the clan, Lian Shi, as the most influential elder of the Wang family now, she came forward to question how it was not a substitute for the family, she said this sarcastically, just now the Sun family said that she interfered in their family's housework.

Wang Dong was naturally not easy to answer, so he just stood aside respectfully and listened.

Lian has always looked at Wang Dong a little differently, otherwise he would not have worried about his marriage repeatedly. This incident was caused in the inner courtyard, and the man should not have interfered in the affairs of the inner courtyard, and it is understandable that Wang Dong did not know about it. Blame him, the mother whose brain was pasted.

Thinking of this, Lian sighed: "You have always been a good boy who understands things, and you were very optimistic about you when your fourth uncle was still alive, but today's ...... Ay! Today, when I went back from your house, I bumped into a mother-in-law on the road, this mother-in-law happened to see her come to your mother's yard to talk back on the day I came to worship my ancestors on the day of the Zhongyuan Festival, but it was Mrs. Cai, who took care of the fireworks in the Sanhuai Hall of my ancestral hall. When I saw that she looked panicked and strange, I became suspicious. ”

It turned out that Mrs. Cai was originally well hidden, but she suddenly heard the person who brought her food inadvertently mention that the houses near her daughter's house were burned by a fire last night, and although there were no casualties, the owners of the houses had no place to live. She was immediately scared into a cold sweat.

How could there be such a coincidental thing in the world, she was hunted down and killed, and something happened to her daughter's family. It must have been Mrs. Liu who wanted to force her out to come up with such a trick. Thinking that his daughter and son-in-law are in the prime of life, and there is a little grandson who is about to be five years old and looks cute. Mrs. Cai couldn't hide it anymore.

She took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards and sneaked out. I wanted to look for my daughter and son-in-law, but I couldn't find anyone. She was anxious and wanted to go back to Wang's house to plead with Mrs. Liu, but she happened to bump into Lian's horse.

The Lian family has always been majestic, and Mrs. Cai couldn't resist under her questioning, and thought that if the people of the Wang family knew, they would be able to prevent Mrs. Liu from saving the lives of her daughter and son-in-law, so she immediately knelt down for the Lian family.

After listening to what Mrs. Cai said about the fact that the Liu family bought her off and set fire to Sanhuai Hall with someone on the Midyear Festival, Lian was so angry that he trembled.

It's just that she can't rely on this mother-in-law's words to come to the Sun family to ask about the crime, and there are still some details that need to be interrogated, so she took Mrs. Cai back to her house. He also asked people to find the daughter and son-in-law of Mrs. Cai, so as not to be caught, and then cast a mouse bogey. (To be continued)
