Chapter 39 Who's to Blame
Sun wanted to ask for mercy, but watching the mother-in-law wielding the bamboo whip getting closer and closer, he knew that he couldn't escape, so he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the old Duchess, "Mother, this time it was purely the daughter-in-law who made it up alone, and it has nothing to do with Yunluo, please let my mother let Yunluo go!" ”
Zhou Yunluo cried and said, "Yes, grandmother, my mother came up with it, and it has nothing to do with my granddaughter." ”
Sun said: "Yes, it's all because my sister-in-law is unwilling to help my husband, so I was confused and did such a foolish thing!" I'm willing to bear it with all my might, and I asked my mother to let Yunluo go! ”
As soon as Lin Yu was reluctant to help Zhou Bin, the old Duchess saw that Zhou Zheng hated it, and she wanted to open up to Sun and Zhou Yunluo.
"Then give the Sun family thirty lashes, since Zhou Yunluo has nothing to do with this time, Gu Nian is still young, so she will be exempted from this time." The old Duchess said.
Zhou Zheng looked at the old duchess with disdain, the old lady is really fair, if it is her who wants to be beaten, I am afraid that it will be more than fifty beatings.
Whip after whip, hitting Sun's delicate back, Zhou Yunluo raised her hateful eyes and glared at Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zhengzheng ignored it, looked at the old duchess and said: "Grandmother, if you don't punish it heavily, my mother will be angry, and when she enters the palace this time, she won't say good things to her second uncle." ”
The old duchess was stunned, "You said that Lin Yu still wants to enter the palace?" ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "Last time, the Queen Mother was sick, and my mother didn't have a chance to say anything about the second uncle, so this time as soon as I received the news, it was that the Queen Mother was fine, so she wanted to enter the palace again, and by the way, she also took me with her." Who knew that such a thing would happen. ”
The old duchess was overjoyed, as long as Lin Yu was willing to help Zhou Bin, then she could negotiate whatever Lin Yu wanted!
The second room harmed Lin Yu's daughter, if the second room is not heavily punished, how can Lin Yu relieve his anger?
"Come on, give me fifty hits! Hit hard! Sun and Zhou Yunluo, grounded for a month! The old Duchess ordered.
Now, no matter how Sun and Zhou Yunluo begged for mercy, the old Duchess ignored it, pulled Zhou Zheng and asked Lin Yulai, "Where is your mother?" Grandmother wanted to ask her. ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "Naturally, I went to collect rent outside the house. I think I'm coming back soon. ”
"How can this kind of rent collection make your mother go in person? Are all the slaves and maidservants in the house dead? The old Duchess turned dark, and glared at the slaves and maids who were watching, "Let's all go down." ”
The old Duchess hurriedly went to see Lin Yu, everyone dispersed, Zhou Zheng returned to the room, and Narcissus and Qingyun escorted Hongyue over.
"Girl, spare your life." Hongyue knelt down, Zhou Yunluo couldn't protect herself, Hongyue knew that she could only beg Zhou Zhengzheng. After all, her deed of sale is in the hands of the big house.
Zhou Zhengzheng looked at the red moon with a deep gaze.
Once upon a time, thinking of the betrayal of Hongyue in her previous life, she really wanted Hongyue's life.
But she didn't think it was worth it, she didn't want to get her hands dirty.
In fact, leaving the life of the red moon is still very useful, for example, this time, if it were not for the red moon to mix, Zhou Yunluo would not have decided to deal with himself so decisively.
"Get up." Zhou Zhengzheng sighed, "Actually, I don't blame you, it's all me, I usually can't give you too many rewards, I forgot that you still have a big family of brothers to raise, so I let you go this far." ”
Hongyue shed tears, "Girl, the slave knows that she is wrong. But slaves and maids do have hardships, and the slaves' mothers have to ask the slaves and maids for silver every month, and the slaves and maids can't ignore them. In addition, Zhou Yunluo also came to seduce the slave maid......"
This Red Moon is as selfish as Zhou Yunluo, and there is always a reason to prove that she is right when she does something wrong, and she has no choice but to do so.
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "Narcissus, you give Hongyue five taels of silver and send Hongyue to the courtyard of the second sister, and Hongyue will be the second sister's person in the future." ”
Hongyue was puzzled, "Girl, ...... you are"
"I will fulfill you together, and I will serve me before you, and give you five taels of silver, do you think it is not enough?" Zhou Zheng asked rhetorically.
"No, that's not what the slave meant, the slave just doesn't want to go." Hongyue kowtowed, "Girl, don't drive the slave away." ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "If you stay, your mother will know what you have done, and she will definitely not let you go." You'd better go. ”
Hongyue didn't expect that Zhou Zhengzheng not only didn't punish her, but also sent her silver to Zhou Yunluo's side, and suddenly she felt that her past self was wrong.
Zhou Zhengzheng is so affectionate and righteous, much better than Zhou Yunluo, why is she so stupid and would betray her?
What's more, she is just a pawn of Zhou Yunluo in this matter. Zhou Zheng didn't kill the red coral tree at all, Zhou Yunluo deceived her.
Although Hongyue was full of remorse, she looked at Zhou Zhengzheng's face and knew that there was no room for recovery, so she had to kowtow to Zhou Zhengzheng a few times, took the five taels of silver handed by Narcissus, and left.
"Girl, you're going to let her go like this?" Qingyun was puzzled.
Zhou Zhengzheng stroked the floating tea leaves with the lid of the teacup and did not answer.
"Everyone is tired today, Narcissus, Qingyun, you went to my box to receive the reward, go down and rest!" After a while, Zhou Zheng pressed his temple and said.
As night fell, Zhou Zheng lowered the bamboo curtain and let the candlelight engulf the darkness in the room.
Don't look at her composure at the time, in fact, I don't know how much cold sweat I shed in my heart.
If she hadn't had someone clean up the abandoned cellar early in the morning, and seeing Red Moon suddenly enter her room to check the location of the red coral tree, she really wouldn't have been so prepared.
Because it was Narcissus who personally transported the red coral tree to the pawnshop, she couldn't tell the truth, so she sent Qingyun to find Zhang Liangchen to transport the red coral tree back.
She knew that the Sun family would definitely come to intercept people, so she prepared some Taihu Lake stones in advance, and put them in two boxes with red coral trees.
Qingyun transported the Taihu Lake stone, which attracted Sun's eyes, and Zhang Liangchen quickly sent the real red coral tree back to Zhou Zhengzheng's yard, put it into the cellar, and arranged the scene for the maintenance of the red coral tree.
And the people in the pawnshop, although out of fear that the Xiping Marquis Mansion said that the red coral tree had been transported away, but after all, they were businessmen, so they were so disrespectful, so Zhou Zhengzheng threatened them, and they naturally didn't dare to care about the red coral tree anymore.
They are also far-sighted businessmen, and they see that neither party is easy to mess with, and they naturally don't want to get involved anymore if they send the red coral tree away, and even if the Sun family testifies against them, they won't go.
As for Lin Yu, he asked Zhou Zheng to lead him out of the country early in the morning. Lin Yu is the head of the Guogong Mansion, if she faces the conflict with the second room, it will not only dislike the old Duchess of the country, but also cause outsiders to comment badly on the Guogong Mansion, and it is not good to stay horizontally and vertically.
Zhou Zheng herself can completely deal with the second room, and she is just an eight-year-old girl, no matter how much she does it, she is a child, and no matter how an elder of the Sun family wants to harm the child, it is the Sun family's fault.
