Mrs. Xia went to the old lady's room, and the others had no orders, so they had to still blow the cold wind in the yard, etc., and the hatred for Mama Zou in her heart went up another ladder, and even hated the Wang family.

Mrs. Xia went for a while before coming back, and asked Liniang to get the thief with a cold face, and repeatedly explained that she couldn't surprise the fourth lady. Xia Ruixi looked at Mrs. Xia's eyes a little red, thinking that she had cried, and she didn't know what she was angry with the old lady.

But it was said that Liniang took three or four mothers-in-law and Dongmei, a little girl in the old lady's room who often played with Xia Ruiwei, to the long room and did not greet the Wang family. first let the mother-in-law take the courtyard door, and then let the little girl enter the room to hug Xia Ruiwei away, and then let people go to get Mama Zou while going to see the Wang family.

When the Wang family heard that Liniang was coming, they knew that it was for Mama Zou's affairs. I had the intention of folding the face of the second room, and deliberately suffered for a long time before I saw Liniang slowly, at this time Mama Zou had been taken down, and the things in her room were also turned over, and sure enough, a lot of gold and silver were turned out. There are gold and jade jewelry, and there are also gold and silver bills made of fruit patterns, and auspicious words are engraved on the bills, which are obviously the New Year's money that the elders gave to Xia Ruiwei during the New Year's Festival.

"Madame, save the slave! Slaves and maids are wronged! ”

When Wang saw Mama Zou with her cloak scattered, she first slapped Liniang and scolded: "A slave who doesn't have long eyes!" You came to my room to get someone on the order of your master, and you should report it first! I am the eldest sister-in-law, she is a brother-in-law, and she is also the daughter of a scholar's family, so I don't understand how to be inferior at all! ”

Li Niang slowly took a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and blessed her body: "Madame is angry." The slave maid is not on the orders of my wife, but on the orders of the old lady. Because he couldn't wait for his wife to come out, he was afraid that he would delay the time and let the thief escape, so he took it first. At this time, the stolen goods were seized, and the lady was invited to take a look. ”

The Wang family was still going to make trouble, and Dongmei hugged Xia Ruiwei up, "Madam, the old lady asked the slave maid to take the fourth lady to her room to play." When the Wang family saw Dongmei, they knew that they had really alarmed the old lady, and hated Mrs. Xia to death, but they had no choice but to say: "Why do you say that she is a thief?" What about the swag? What about witnesses? ”

Li Niang showed the contents of the baggage to Wang in a hurry, and Wang was speechless. Mama Zou shouted: "Madam, that's the fourth lady's thing, and the slave maid kept it for her." ”

A mother-in-law gave her a look at the moment: "Shut up!" Miss, you received your things under your bed for her? ”

"Planting! Madame, this is a sham! There are some things that you reward Madame, they are not used to seeing slaves and maids, and they are jealous that Mrs. is good to slaves and maids, so they want to frame slaves and maids, and Madame wants to be the master of slaves and maids! Mama Zou bit her mother-in-law, jumped up and hugged Wang's leg, and wept bitterly: "Madam, girl, you won't watch the slave and maid being kicked out by others, right?" Do you really want someone to ride on your head? ”

Li Niang said coldly: "You still don't pull this thief away?" Frightened ma'am, which of you can afford this? ”

Wang stretched out his arms in embarrassment, not knowing what to do. She is not afraid of offending Mrs. Xia, but she is a little afraid of offending the old lady.

The mother-in-law stepped forward to pull Mama Zou, and Mama Zou shouted: "Slow! I'm not from your family! You have no right to dispose of me. ”

Li Niang said with a smile: "Okay, we don't have the right to dispose of you, there is always this power in the yamen." Mama Zou, if you have anything to say, you might as well keep it and go to the yamen to say. If you are really innocent, the lord in the yamen will never wronged you. ”

When Mama Zou heard this, she screamed like a pig: "What? Want to see an official? I'm not going! Li Niang, you and your master's hearts are rotten. Girl, they're slapping you and your mother-in-law in the face! You can't let them be, or how will you stand in the future? ”

Seeing that the more she talked, the more she spoke, the more unspeakable she became, and her face turned cold: "Block her stinky mouth!" Drag to the front! ”

A mother-in-law looked at a rag in the corner, picked it up and stuffed it into Mama Zou's mouth, Liniang blessed the Wang family, and several people dragged Mama Zou away.

Wang Shi was stunned to see a shoe that Mama Zou had fallen on the yard when she was dragged away, suddenly pushed away the girl who had stepped forward to clean up, and hurriedly walked out, shouting as she walked: "It's too much!" Mother! I can't live! Xuan's is too bullying! bumped into her eldest son Xia Ruizhu head-on, and scolded with a slap in her face: "The old lady gave birth to your three sons in vain, it's useless!" Let people ride on the head of the old lady to bully! ”

Xia Ruizhu hid to the side in frustration and let the Wang family go to the old lady's room to make trouble.

Mama Zou was dragged to Mrs. Xia's yard, and her mother-in-law threw her to the ground and pulled out the dirty rag from her mouth. Mrs. Zhang lifted the blood-red wooden staff and knocked her ass with a smile: "Tsk, how much you eat and grow fat, if you beat it down, you can have meat compared to these little girls." ”

Mama Zou saw the three bloody bodies lying on the ground at a glance, and screamed: "It's not a **** thing." I am not from your family, and you have no right to dispose of me. ”

Mrs. Xia glanced at her coldly, and flipped through the gold and silver in the baggage, "Cui Yuan." ”

There was already a chubby middle-aged man at the gate of the courtyard with fine sweat on his face, ran in with broken steps, and nodded at Mrs. Xia: "Yes, madam, the little one is here." "It is Cui Yuan, the big butler of Xia Mansion.

Mrs. Xia said: "Take the master's post and send this thief woman who came from nowhere into the yamen." I must ask clearly, in addition to the softness in this baggage, where did all the things that were stolen out in the past go? Are there any accomplices? Who is the buyer? Who is the owner of the nest? ”

Li Niang handed over a name card that had been prepared a long time ago, Cui Yuan took it, and immediately changed his face: "Someone!" Escort this thief and send her to the yamen with me!" A few wolf-like family members rushed up to set up Mama Zou and tied them up. Mama Zou was dumbfounded, if she really went to the Hades Palace, she would have to shed her skin if she didn't die, which was quite light, who didn't know that as soon as a woman entered that place, her innocence would be ruined? Even if she can come out alive and lose her innocence, who will want her in the future? It's not just living on the streets and starving to death. She began to beg for mercy: "Madame! Madam! Slaves and maids are wronged! The gold and silver are all my girl's, no, the eldest lady's reward. ”

Mrs. Xia was silent, and Li Niang reprimanded: "Thief! Do you mean Madame has wronged you? Who would reward a slave with so much gold and silver? Do you dare to climb the big lady? You understand what you have done yourself, and send it to the yamen for trial! Let's see if our lady has wronged you! ”

Of course she understood what Mama Zou had done, she opened her mouth and hurriedly changed her words: "The slave knows that she is wrong!" The slave knows that she is wrong! I just beg the lady to spare the slave's life! You can let me be a cow or a horse! There are two underage children in the slave's house! Please, ma'am. ”

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Mrs. Xia said, "What do I want you to do as a cow and a horse?" If you are truly repentant, I am not one of those ruthless people who will kill them all. Just now you refused to tell the truth, and said again, you are not from our family, and I have no right to dispose of you, so I want to send you to the yamen. Now......" She lowered her head and blew on the tea from the tea bowl, and stopped talking.

"The slave said, say anything!" Mama Zou knew at this time that in this family, only Mrs. Xia was the only one who spoke, and the Wang family didn't come at this time, so it could be seen that she couldn't count on it. As long as she is not sent to see the official, the big deal is to eat a meal and throw her out, and it will be more bitter in the future, and it is better than going to the yamen to lose her innocence and no longer be a person.

Mrs. Xia smiled and waved her hand: "Slow, Liniang will invite my sister-in-law." also let her see the true face of this thief woman, so as not to be deceived and not know, thinking that this is a good person. He turned back to Mama Zou and smiled, "You have been in our family for some years, right?" You know, I've always been a man of my word. You've figured it out, there's only one chance. ”

Xia Ruixi felt that Mrs. Xia's smile was cold to the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but hug the hand stove in her arms more and more. She didn't dare to imagine that one day, if Mrs. Xia knew her true identity, what would she do to her? I'm afraid it's not too much to fry and grill.

Looking at Xia Ruibei again, she was already dazzled by Mrs. Xia's pretentiousness, forgetting that Hong'er was beaten, forgetting her grievances, and lowering her head ******** not knowing what she was thinking.

Li Niang walked out of the courtyard gate, and saw Wang helping Mrs. Xia over from a distance. Hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to salute, and Wang caught up and slapped her in the face: "Little slut!" Today, you will make it clear in front of the old lady, who gave you the courage to bully me! ”

Li Niang was beaten by the Wang family for the second time today, tears fell down her face, and she was still smiling on her face: "The slave maid greets the old lady, and the eldest lady greets the eldest lady." ”

The old lady put the dragon's head cane on the ground, glanced at Wang, and helped the girl to go inside. Mrs. Xia received the letter early and hurriedly greeted her. Calm and quiet, calmly greeted the old lady and the Wang family, and the graceful bearing and the Wang family immediately met the high.

The old lady sighed, entered the courtyard and sat on the main seat, and said majestically: "I didn't want to care about these idle things, I am old and old, I just want to ask the Buddha wholeheartedly, and I only want the house to be healthy." Home is handed over to you, and I am relieved. But your sister-in-law said that there was something strange about the Zou family, and she was afraid that you would be deceived by a traitor and mishandled it, so she specially begged me to come. You're busy, I'll just watch. ”

Mrs. Xia smiled: "My mother is very right, and my daughter-in-law is also afraid that something will go wrong in this matter." I also considered that if I sent someone to the yamen, it would not be very honorable. If she is willing to recruit, we will deal with it inside. No, I just asked Liniang to invite my sister-in-law. ”

"You're going to say good things." Wang snorted coldly and said, "Zou, if you have any grievances, just say it, the old lady and I will definitely be the master for you." ”

Seeing that the two daughters-in-law were standing, the old lady patted the chair next to her: "Sit down and talk." ”

Wang unceremoniously picked up the left side and sat down, but Mrs. Xia stood still. The old lady said: "Why don't you sit on the second family?" ”

Mrs. Xia said with a smile: "This cold weather has alarmed my mother, is it my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to sit down." ”

The old lady snorted coldly: "If I let you sit, you can sit and stand, where is there a family member!" ”

Mrs. Xia got the old lady's words, and then sat down: "Zou, recruit the things you do one by one." If there is a grievance, say that there is a grievance, and I will definitely not wronged you. But if you deny nonsense, your sister-in-law will be the first to spare you, right? Sister-in-law? ”

Wang gritted his teeth and said, "That's nature!" ”

Seeing that the Wang family invited the old lady to come, and Mrs. Xia was so humble to the old lady, she had already moved her mind, do you want to trap the beast and fight again? She thought that Mrs. Xia didn't care about the face of the Wang family, and the old lady couldn't ignore the face of her in-laws, so she would leave two points of face for the Wang family. Besides, isn't the Wang family a long house? The three sons under her knees are already adults, but on the second room, there is only one young Xia Ruiyu, and the old lady is not partial to the Wang family, but also to the three grandsons, so she made up her mind to retract the confession.
