Chapter 25: The Trap

Wang waited impatiently, and coughed low to remind Mama Zou to speak quickly.

Mama Zou kowtowed respectfully to the old lady and said, "The old lady is gracious, the slave has grievances to report." ”

The old lady lifted her eyelids, and Wang said: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" What a rambling thing! ”

Mama Zou pointed to the bag of gold and silver, crying with tears, as if she had been greatly wronged: "These things are obviously rewarded by the eldest lady, but for some reason, Liniang insisted that the slave stole it, and she must send the slave to see the official, and the slave and the maid are wronged!" If the master wronged two sentences, the slave and maid didn't dare to say anything, but a slave like the slave and the maid also came to wronged the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid really couldn't bear this breath. The slave and maid are innocent, but they want to let the slave and maid bear this crime, and the slave and maid bear this crime, but they don't do it, and they have affected the eldest lady. Madam, it's all slaves, isn't it, and you're disgraced. ”

Mrs. Xia looked at Mama Zou calmly, as if she was watching a play, and her face was not shocked. Wang was a little proud, just looking at how the old lady dealt with it.

The old lady said, "Old man, are these things really your reward?" ”

The Wang family wants to take power in the house for more than a day or two, and he is bent on folding the face of the second room, and he wants to step on Mrs. Xia, what is this money, and she will clean up the Zou family later, and gritted her teeth: "It was rewarded by the daughter-in-law." Otherwise, if such a large number of things are missing, how can the daughter-in-law not know? It's been shouted out a long time ago. ”

For a while, everyone's faces were different. It seems that Mama Zou retracted her confession is an ironclad thing, and it is also a fact that the second room wronged the long house. In fact, everyone in Xia Mansion knows the fact that the things in Wang's room are missing, and she probably doesn't know where to go, and she won't shout out, just because there is a super thief in her room-Uncle Xia.

Xia Ruibei couldn't help but open her mouth to pierce this layer of paper, but she was frightened by Mrs. Xia's stern eyes and closed her mouth, and glared at Mama Zou and Wang unwillingly.

The old lady looked at Mrs. Xia: "The second family, it seems that it is really a misunderstanding, do you think?" "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is clearly the Wang family who is shielding Mama Zou, and the old lady is not here to deal with it impartially, but to make peace with the mud and protect the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.

But Mrs. Xia has already made a move, and there is no reason to return in vain, otherwise she will not be able to take the Wang family in the future, how can she be this family? smiled lightly at the moment: "If it is really rewarded by my sister-in-law, I naturally have nothing to say." At that time, it was just someone who identified Zou as a thief, and the things found were valuable, and the gold and jade jewelry and the gold and silver bills of the four girls were enough for a family of ten to live comfortably for a lifetime. I pondered that although the people in my family were not used to frugality, there was never a precedent for rewarding others with so much money. I know, my mother's place is the heaviest, only ten taels of silver, and the sister-in-law is usually only one or two taels of silver, and there is no reason to use the New Year's money given by the elders to the four girls to reward the slaves. That's why my brother-in-law became suspicious, and if it was inappropriate, I asked my sister-in-law not to be surprised. ”

Wang snorted coldly and raised his chin arrogantly: "The things of the four girls in my family, I can do what I want, could it be that how much money I reward the slaves, and my younger brothers and sisters also have to take care of it?" ”

Mrs. Xia smiled silently, but the old lady's face changed slightly, and her eyelids drooped.

Mrs. Xia said again: "Please take a look, sister-in-law, are all the things you rewarded here?" But is there still a shortage? I'll be able to return the inventory. ”

How did the Wang family know what was inside, only that Mrs. Xia was going to take it as stolen goods, naturally the more the better, and Li Niang's hands and feet were also clean, and there was no reason for things to be less. He glanced at it and nodded, "That's it." ”

Mrs. Xia said seriously: "Sister-in-law has seen clearly, is it really gone?" ”

Wang Shi was impatient: "Look clearly, what I gave, where is the reason why I can't remember?" ”

Mrs. Xia said: "Okay, Zhen'er, you register these things, so that everyone will see them in the future and wronged the Zou family." ”

Zhen'er really took a pen and paper and wrote it down. Mrs. Xia handed it to Wang, who rolled her eyes: "I can't read." If you admit it, you will admit it, and what will you do when you write it down? ”

Mrs. Xia smiled: "It's good to write it down, but it's not good when you don't forget sex." I'll read it again to my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law will confirm it. ”

Wang frowned and listened patiently: "That's it." ”

Mrs. Xia smiled and handed the paper to Zhen'er to put away, and asked everyone, "Have you heard it clearly?" These things I just read were given to the Zou family by the eldest lady, so don't make a fuss when you see them in the future. ”

Everyone responded.

Xia Ruixi can see that the Wang family is only afraid that she has fallen into the trap of Mrs. Xia, she is illiterate, but others know her, and Mrs. Xia has also found many witnesses. Sure enough, Li Niang cowered and came up: "Madam, there is still a bag, have you forgotten?" ”

Mrs. Xia glared at Li Niang: "Don't say it earlier!" I don't have a good memory, and you can't remember to remind me, what are you going to do? As he spoke, he took the bag in Li Niang's hand, but he didn't open it, and looked at Wang with a smile, "Sister-in-law, there are still some things in it, sister-in-law think about it?" If it wasn't rewarded by the sister-in-law, it was Zou who was not greedy enough and stole it. ”

Wang's face flushed, pointed to the bag, and was speechless, only looked at Mama Zou and said, "I don't have a good memory, maybe, maybe I have forgotten." ”

Mrs. Xia didn't have the patience to wait for the two of her to confess, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, early this morning, Cui Yuan saw two sneaky people at the corner gate, and they thought they were thieves, but they said they were looking for the Zou family." said that Zou promised to buy them two treasures today. Cui Yuan took the two of them up, and it was just time to deal with the matter together. If it has nothing to do with the Zou family, it would be better to send it to the official earlier. Cui Yuan, bring people up. ”

A few servants escorted a man and a woman in, and when they entered the door, they kowtowed to the top, shouting that they were wronged.

"What is it called! Later, when I go to the yamen, I will have your own name! Cui Yuan shouted violently, and the two were so frightened that they were silent.

Mrs. Xia asked the two, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The two of them glanced at each other quickly and pointed at Zou: "She." She was the one who made us wait there. ”

Mrs. Xia shouted: "Zou! You see, do you know these two? ”

Without waiting for Zou to answer, the two shouted: "Zou, don't you admit it." You sold us something, and we didn't steal it with you. ”

Mama Zou swept the two of them, she was already frightened, her feet were soft and dizzy, and she could barely hold on. Only then did she know that her every move had already fallen into the eyes of others, and she was just waiting for this opportunity to be revealed in one fell swoop. Looking at Mrs. Xia's methods again, she knew that she couldn't escape today, so she kowtowed desperately at the moment, how she stole the things in Xia Ruiwei and Wang's room and sold them, who she sold them to, how much silver she sold, and where the money was hidden, including the things she usually provoked the girls and mothers-in-law to fight.

The old lady snorted coldly at the Wang family: "You are a good slave sent by the Wang family!" I'm afraid it was deliberately sent to harm our family. ”

This is a bit heavy, Wang only then realized that he had jumped into the pit dug by others, not to mention that Zou was a thief, she covered up, and Zou provoked the girl and mother-in-law to fight, how could she not get rid of a handle that was not strictly governed. She felt that all the subordinates looked at her with naked contempt, and she was dizzy with anger at the moment, pointing at Mama Zou, sitting there and shaking, her eyes rolled up, and she was about to faint.

Xia Ruibei screamed and rushed over to support her: "Ah, it's not good! The eldest aunt is going to faint again. Get the silver needle ready. He persuaded softly: "Auntie, we all know that you are soft-hearted, don't be angry with this thief." It's not worth it. ”

Zhen'er really went to get a pack of silver needles and came out, Xia Ruibei was embarrassed to take the thickest silver needle and gestured it over: "Auntie, you must bear with it." The last time you fainted, it was my father who stabbed you, and I don't know so sure. It hurts to stab in the wrong place. When Wang heard this, he was excited, stabilized his mind and didn't dare to pretend to be dizzy anymore, and hated Xia Ruibei, a vicious girl, to death. She knew that Xia Ruibei could do what she said, and if she really fainted, she didn't know where Xia Ruibei would greet her. Unexpectedly, a rough girl in the second room had just changed sex, and a vicious girl came out.

Xia Ruixi has never felt that Xia Ruibei is so cute. She was usually ridiculed by the Wang family for not being able to marry an old girl, and she was also disgusted by the Wang family, but now she has a little bad breath. Sure enough, the truth is clear, and the wicked have their own wicked grinding.

Mrs. Xia asked softly, "Mother, ......what do you think of this?" ”

The old lady's eyelids drooped, if it weren't for the rosary in her hand, she thought she was asleep, and only said after a while: "You are in charge, you can watch it." The old woman is tired. Standing up tremblingly, he scolded Wang: "It's not a thing!" He helped the girl and left.

Mrs. Xia looked at her back, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she still smiled sweetly and deferentially on her face, "Daughter-in-law sends off mother." As soon as the figure of the old lady left the courtyard, she turned around and said: "Sister-in-law, the Zou family is really a great crime, I deceived you and didn't say it, and it caused you to almost faint, you can't spare her later." ”

Wang hadn't recovered from the old lady's scolding, and when he saw Mrs. Xia's sweet smile, his lips trembled, his face was white and red for a while, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak, Mrs. Xia didn't seem to see it: "I think, it's better to wait until I finish this thing, and then tie up the person and send it to my sister-in-law's room, and then I will deal with it slowly when my sister-in-law is free." "Liniang, now let's start dealing with the things we haven't dealt with before." Hong'er can't speak? Then let Cui'er and Liang'er talk about it. ”

This is going on in an orderly manner, and Li Niang is very attentive to serving tea to the Wang family. Wang's face was lost, and he wanted to leave, but he was pulled by Mrs. Xia: "Sister-in-law, wait a minute, see if I can handle it properly?" ”

Hong'er naturally can't stay any longer, and she can't even say if she has her life. Cui'er and Liang'er were fined half a year's monthly money, but they were not kicked out. Then, Mrs. Xia summoned Xia Ruixi and Xia Ruibei to step forward, and said coldly: "You two are not strict in governance, so you have made such an undignified thing, you say, how to deal with the two of you?" ”

Xia Ruixi said in a low voice: "My daughter knows her mistake, please ask my mother to deal with it." ”

Xia Ruibei also said obediently: "Please deal with it with your mother, and your daughter will obey everything." ”

Mrs. Xia smiled: "Okay, I will also fine you two for three months' monthly money, copy the meditation sutra twenty times, and be grounded for half a month." You must keep in mind in the future that our Xia family is a family of poetry and books, and we must not allow such things to happen again. He turned back to Wang and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think it is appropriate to deal with it like this?" ”

My niece and daughter are not strictly governed and have been punished like this, so I am an elder, and the ugly thing started from me, what should I do? Wang only felt that Mrs. Xia's words were poked in his heart, pointing at Mrs. Xia, she couldn't get up in one breath, and she was really dizzy.

Mrs. Xia personally sent the Wang family back to her house, and asked Hong'er, Cui'er, and Liang'er to be carried out to recuperate from their injuries, and tied up the Zou family without mentioning it. Xia Ruixi followed behind Xia Ruibei and was busy with everyone. After this incident, her admiration for Mrs. Xia has reached a higher level.

There was something wrong with the background today, and I couldn't enter the special area, so the update was late
