Chapter 27: Chun'er's Fate
No one knows, when Bai Mujin said those words, the pain in her eyes was revealed, in her previous life, but she had tasted such torture, and even some, even she herself could not speak, how many times she was awakened by such nightmares, she was used to it.
Chun'er was already shaking like a sieve when she heard this, this kind of appalling punishment was even more unacceptable than beating her to death with a stick, she only felt that her lower body was cold, and then a puddle of foul-smelling liquid flowed on the ground.
Bai Mujin shook her head secretly, she couldn't help but be frightened, but she didn't plan to let Chun'er go, so she continued: "Grandmother, since my mother said that Chun'er stole the jewelry, and Chun'er kept saying that I instructed her to betray the master, Jin'er can't be wronged in vain, so it's better to hand Chun'er over to the government, I think those officials who are used to seeing stubborn prisoners know how to let people tell the truth!" ”
This sentence became the last straw that overwhelmed Chun'er, she struggled to lie on the ground, crying bitterly, and begged endlessly: "Please be kind to the old lady, Chun'er will say everything, say everything, don't hand Chun'er over to the government!" ”
Lu Shi was stunned, she was also stunned by Bai Hibiscus and Grandma Sun's words just now, and it was too late to stop it, she stared at Chun'er with wide eyes, but where could Chun'er, who was frightened, still see her threat.
She could only beg for mercy again and again, and then said everything like pouring beans on a bamboo tube: "It was the lady and the second lady who instructed the slave maid to deliberately ruin the reputation of the eldest lady in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, saying that she bullied her younger siblings, was arrogant, and mean, in order to make the eldest lady unable to raise her head in the aristocratic circle, and later the second lady saw that the frame could not be successful, and took out the slave and maid to confess, saying that the slave and maid had a grudge against the eldest lady so they slandered her, and it had nothing to do with the eldest lady from beginning to end, she was innocent!" She didn't instruct me to frame Mrs. and Second Miss at all, woo...... The slave is wrong, the slave is wrong, don't hand the slave over to the government......"
Chun'er kowtowed and begged for mercy, her head was knocked like a rotten persimmon, bleeding all over her face, and she looked really hideous.
When Bai Shizu heard this, he looked at Lu Shi with a disappointed and angry look, and said, "I never thought that you would be such a vicious woman, you disappointed me so much!" ”
Lu shook her head, tears in her eyes, she suddenly knelt down, grabbed Bai Shizu's robe, trembled, tears were like beads with broken threads, falling down one by one, and muttered in her mouth: "Husband, you and I have been married for ten years, don't you know what kind of character the concubine is?" What do you think of Jin'er, don't you see it? How could I harm her, how vicious this is, slandering Jin'er for a while, and slandering the concubine for a while, can she still believe what she says? ”
Seeing the Lu family crying so sadly, Bai Shizu's heart softened again, the Lu family is only twenty-six years old now, still young and beautiful, and showing such a pitiful appearance, Ren is a man, there is no one who is not moved. Not to mention Bai Shizu, who cherishes her.
Thinking of the Lu family's various good things, Bai Shizu suddenly felt that he should not have misunderstood his wife, so he could only help her up and comfort: "Ning Xiang, don't cry, your crying will mess up your husband's heart, you are right, it must be this cheap maid who is making a stumbling block, in order to provoke the relationship between the masters!" ”
Old Madam Bai's brows were twisted, her son was really confused, with the efforts of several people, Chun'er was already desperate, plus that box of jewelry, isn't the fact obvious? He was coaxed by Lu Ningxiang in a few words.
The Lu family was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that Bai Shizu really had a deep affection for her, so as long as he believed in himself, then even if everyone doubted her today, it would be fine, because Bai Shizu was the head of the Ningguo Mansion.
Bai Shizu really lived up to Lu Ningxiang's expectations, and after relieving his sad and crying wife, he said angrily: "Chun'er, this dog slave, actually deceived her superiors and subordinates, betrayed her master and was ungrateful, not only stealing her master's finances, but also wantonly framing her master, what is the use of keeping her, dragging her out and killing her with a cane!" ”
Chun'er was dragged out with a dead face, and she didn't even ask for mercy, only heard a muffled humming sound from outside the hospital, and after a while, someone came to report that the person was dead.
Bai Mujin didn't have the slightest mercy, in nightmares every night, the who unscrupulously slandered her and Brother Xun'er finally died, this is already her best ending, if it weren't for Bai Shizu's interference, today's Chun'er's fate would be far more than that.
But her biggest enemies, Lu Ningxiang and Bai Yunxi, were still standing there without any punishment, because the Lu family was too smart, and she knew who she could handle.
Sure enough, Old Madam Bai just shook her head and sighed, and did not open her mouth to stop it, because Bai Shizu was her son and Ning Guogong, and she would never damage his majesty, and this matter could not be pursued, otherwise it would only make her mother and son discordant and make the Guogong Mansion humiliated.
Bai Shizu then said to Old Madam Bai: "Mother, this matter is over, Ning Xiang has also suffered a lot of grievances, since Xi'er and Jin'er are innocent, then there is no need to be punished, right?" ”
Old Madam Bai choked on a word, looked at Lu Ningxiang in Bai Shizu's arms, her face was very unhappy, and said: "Grandpa, Chun'er is Xi'er's minion, and the Lu family, as the main mother, has no way to teach her subordinates, if you don't punish her, it will be difficult to convince the public!" ”
Lu looked at Bai Shizu pitifully, bit his lower lip, and said softly: "Husband, it's all the fault of the concubine, the concubine is not worthy of being the wife of the husband, so it's better to divorce the concubine!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to kneel, but he was helped up by Bai Shizu, hugged him in his arms again, and said distressedly: "What nonsense are you talking about, you are in charge of the huge Guogong Mansion, how can you be all-encompassing, and it is inevitable that there will be a few slaves, how can you be divorced because of this?" ”
Bai Muhibiscus looked at the two of them who were deeply affectionate, and only felt extremely ridiculous, the Lu family was calculating, and it was too good to retreat as advance, but she wanted to escape punishment because of this, so wouldn't she suffer this slap in vain today?
She swore that she would never let herself be wronged again in this life, and all those who dared to bully her must have the consciousness of reaping the consequences.
She knelt on the ground with a puff, flashing tears at Mrs. Bai, and then covered the scars on her face with her hands, and said: "Grandmother, don't punish your mother, Jin'er has lost her mother since she was a child, and it is thanks to her mother and grandmother's mercy that she can be considered, how can Jin'er punish her mother because she has been wronged?" Even if Chun'er is the second sister's minion, it is not necessarily the mother's responsibility! ”
She pretended to be strong and forbearance of grievances, which made Mrs. Bai feel as uncomfortable as a piece of cotton wool in her heart, and then looked at Lu's cozy appearance in Bai Shizu's arms, and thought about how she repeatedly harmed Jin'er, and although Jin'er knew the truth, she still interceded for her.
Just now, Bai Shizu slapped Jin'er in the mouth indiscriminately, and now her face is swollen and tall, if she doesn't seek justice for her, not only will the Lu family not take her in her eyes in the future, I'm afraid that Jin'er will also be cold.
So he sighed deeply and said, "Jin'er doesn't need to say anything, get up, grandmother has her own opinions!" ”
Then he said to Bai Shizu: "As the head of the family, the grandfather must not be unfair, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, the mother has made a mistake, if it is gently exposed, it will no longer be able to be in the house in the future, and a few children will also see it in their eyes and keep it in their hearts. ”
Bai Shizu frowned slightly when he heard this, he was very embarrassed, the weak and pitiful wife around him, and the delicate and lovely daughter were all his heart, and he couldn't punish them ruthlessly, even if he knew what happened today, the Lu family and Bai Yunxi were responsible, but in his private heart, he just didn't want to believe it.
"Mother......" Bai Shizu's voice was a little pleading, and he hoped that his mother would understand his feelings of pity for his wife and daughter.
But he forgot that he had another daughter, and the one he had just slapped mercilessly was also his biological daughter.
Bai Mujin closed her eyes slightly, since this so-called father is so ignorant, then don't blame her for being too pressing, she bowed to her grandmother, and then turned to kowtow to her father, and said: "The daughter understands that the father and mother are deeply in love, and she must be reluctant to punish her mother and sister, what her father said is right, it is all Chun'er's girl's fault, but unfortunately she was killed like this, and today in the Guogong Mansion, the girl said a lot of things that should not be said, saying that my mother was harsh on me and wanted to ruin my appearance, and many official wives were present, If this word reaches the ears of my grandfather, or if it is known by the speaker, and I refer to my father, it will be troublesome! Chun'er died, and there was no one who even proved her mother! ”
The Lu family and Bai Shizu were shocked, what the Lu family was afraid of was the old lady of the Lu family, and what Bai Shizu was afraid of was being caught by political enemies, the most important thing for an official is the official reputation, the family house is restless, and it is rumored that the stepfamily treats the children left by the original spouse harshly, that is a crime of lax governance for him, the grandfather of the country!
The ancients said, self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, if the family is not peaceful, how can he talk about governing the country and the world, he suddenly glanced at his daughter meaningfully, is this still the eldest daughter who was only a promise in the past, and couldn't even say a decent word when he saw him?
He was worried about Lu and Bai Yunxi just now, but he didn't realize that from beginning to end, this daughter's performance was very good, and she was wronged, not only was she extremely calm, she didn't defend or panic, but she was able to peel off the cocoon and clear her name, and now she used such words to force herself to be punished.
Looking at the bright red fingerprints on her face, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, just now he did hit her indiscriminately, that was also very angry, if Prime Minister Lu knew about it, his mother-in-law who was protecting the calf would definitely not give up.
Thinking of this, Bai Shizu pushed the Lu family away, and said with a calm face: "What my mother said is reasonable, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, but although the Lu family and Xi'er are at fault, there is no big fault, and I hope that my mother will be light!" ”
The Lu family knew that it was irreparable this time, but since Bai Shizu said this, it meant that Old Madam Bai would not punish herself heavily, let alone take away her stewardship.
As long as she has the power in her hands, she will definitely have a chance to recover today's account, Bai Mujian, she really underestimated this girl in the past, and she was deceived by her pretending to be well-behaved and stupid for so many years, so that her wings were stiff and she dared to do right with herself!
She hatefully pulled her daughter to her knees and said, "Please punish the old lady!" ”
Old Madam Bai squinted her eyes slightly, looking at Bai Hibiscus with admiration, and at the same time she was a little vigilant, this granddaughter is not simple......
