Chapter 56: The Truth
At this time, Xia Guxin and Aunt Su on the side were already speechless in shock, and the girl on the seat exuded the courage that she should not have at her age, and the coldness in her eyes was even daunting when others saw it.
They have been oppressed and bullied by Mrs. Liu over the years, but they didn't expect that in front of Xia Qianwei, she who has always been arrogant is like a clown who jumps off the beam and has no power to resist.
However, in the previous life, Xia Qianwei had seen many such people, and knew that there was no need to deal with them, and countering violence with violence was the most effective method.
Mama Liu lowered her head and couldn't stop trembling, only to feel a chill on her body.
"The medicine that the eldest young master uses on weekdays, the old and the old slaves are the most inferior ones...... But the old slave swore to heaven that those medicines couldn't kill people, but they didn't work so well...... The old slave took the rest of the silver to buy wine and drank it......"
When Aunt Su heard this, her face became more and more ugly, she glanced at Xia Guxin on the couch guiltily, and said to herself that it was useless to say to herself, wiped her tears and found the silver hairpin from Mrs. Liu's body, and carefully put it away.
"Mistreating the master, filling his own pockets, what else?"
Xia Qianwei's face didn't have much expression, as if she had expected all this.
Mama Liu on the ground hesitated for a moment, where could she tell her what she had done and revealed, although Xia Guxin made a big mistake and lost her favor, but it was always the blood of the Xia family, and now the eldest lady is not sober and can't support her, but she must not leave too many handles.
"Third Miss Mingjian, the old slave is just confused for a while, there is really nothing else......"
Xia Qianwei was silent for a moment, and when Mama Liu saw that she didn't react, a little luck immediately rose in her heart, but she didn't want a sudden tingling pain in her knees, which made her grin and twist her expression.
"Is it starting to hurt? I also choose the most inferior kind of poison, which can't kill people if it is used, but it can make life worse than death. ”
What the?!
This fluttering sentence made Mama Liu's face change in fright, the third lady was famous for her methods of torturing people in the past, could it be that she was really poisoned?
The old slave knew that he was wrong, that is, he sent Aunt Su to do some laundry and chores on weekdays, and secretly took the calligraphy and paintings of the eldest young master to sell them outside, and in addition, he also deducted the use of the bamboo garden...... There's nothing else!"
"You—You're ......"
Xia Guxin was so angry that his chest hurt, every calligraphy and painting in the study was his painstaking work, but for some reason he always lost his trace every now and then, at first he did doubt whether he was a thief, but after thinking about it, his calligraphy and painting were not made by celebrities, and they were not worth a few dollars, so he had to give up.
Now that he heard Mama Liu's confession, he felt more and more useless, not only could he not protect his biological mother, but he couldn't even keep some dead things!
Xia Qianwei took a deep look at Xia Guxin, his clothes had been spread out at some point, revealing that rugged and abnormal chest, the perennial coarse tea and light rice made his cheeks bloodless at all, and the light in his eyes seemed to be much dimmer than when he was in Xia Changfeng's house.
Xia Qianwei's heart couldn't help but tighten, and her emotions unconsciously became bored.
This face should not be dyed with any sadness, how can a gentle person always have only a sad end?!
Her gaze became a little colder, looking at the mother-in-law who was sweating on the ground, and opened her mouth firmly, "How much do you know about the accident nine years ago?!"
This person's eyes flickered from the beginning, and he was spitting and spitting, which was a sign of weakness! Therefore, Xia Qianwei concluded that Mama Liu, who was ordered by the Wen family to stay in the bamboo garden to monitor, must know a thing or two about the inside story of the year.
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Su and Xia Guxin changed their faces, what does this mean?
Accident nine years ago......
Mama Liu raised her head suddenly, only to feel that the pain in her knees had spread to her abdomen, making her internal organs churn for a while, and gradually began to taste what Xia Qianwei said that life was better than death, but the only little reason left made her dare not let go, "The old slave doesn't know anything, please ask the third lady to spare my life......
"Not to mention, I am the one who admires the faithful, and in that case, you will slowly experience the taste of rotting your intestines. ”
originally thought that the worst result for herself would be nothing more than being beaten and then sold, who would have thought that Xia Qianwei would say such cruel words at such a young age, accompanied by the increasingly unbearable pain in her abdomen, she couldn't hold on anymore.
"The old slave has been recruited, and he begged the third lady to give him a way to live...... The accident nine years ago was actually arranged by the eldest lady, and she asked people to hide in the horse farm and wait for the opportunity to frighten the second young master's horse, and then frame it for the eldest young master......"
Aunt Su was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't believe her ears, "How is this possible? How can anyone in the world be willing to hurt their own flesh and blood?"
At this time, Mama Liu was so painful that she couldn't speak, she could only pant weakly, her legs couldn't move, and she still maintained a kneeling posture at this time, and her upper body was arched into a terrifying arc because of the pain.
"At that time...... If I hadn't dismounted to protect my second brother, would anyone have come to his rescue?"
Xia Guxin's voice trembled a little, and the answer was almost yes.
He subconsciously touched his left leg, and the pain of being trampled by Crazy Horse seemed to be just yesterday, but now someone told him that everything was just a pre-arranged scene?
Thinking of everything he has lost over the years, thinking of the suffering his aunt has suffered for him, he has always felt guilty, countless nights are haunted by nightmares, and when he closes his eyes, he sees the picture of his second brother almost dying in the horse's hooves......
The corners of Xia Guxin's mouth raised a hint of self-deprecating smile, joke, it turned out that he was just a joke!
"In that case, why didn't the eldest lady just drive us out of the General's Mansion?!" Aunt Su seemed to still have a glimmer of hope, she felt the pain of Xia Guxin, and knowing the truth of this matter hurt him far more than the grievances of these years!
“...... Because Mrs. Yurong ...... Third Miss, save the old slave, the old slave can't stand it......"
Mama Liu finally exhaled painfully with her last breath, and at this time Xia Qianwei had already stood up, and the silver needle hidden between her fingers instantly pierced the woman's neck, and she immediately collapsed to the ground with black eyes and fainted.
Aunt Su didn't understand the meaning of this last sentence, but Xia Qianwei guessed that Wen's hatred for Qin Yurong had already penetrated deep into her bone marrow, so she wanted to let anyone related to Qin Yurong suffer in order to satisfy her desire to vent her hatred.
The room fell into a solemn atmosphere, and Xia Guxin on the couch didn't say a word more, but the gray and white floating under his eyes revealed his cold state of mind at the moment.
The man gritted his teeth and moved his body with difficulty to lie down, but he actually pulled up the tattered blanket and turned his back, Aunt Su just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xia Qianwei, she shook her head gently, under the signal of this look, Aunt Su and Ru Hua worked together to drag the mother-in-law on the ground out, leaving Xia Guxin alone to calm down.
"Third Miss, I ......" Aunt Su seemed to have a thousand words, but she couldn't say it with red eyes.
Xia Qianwei knew that the mother and son needed time to accept all this, and she looked at the deserted courtyard in front of her thoughtfully.
As the third lady of the Xia family, Xia Qianwei has personally cleared away the layers of fog, and now she can see clearly that this general's mansion has always been shrouded in a huge shadow, which is the third lady's biological mother, Mrs. Yurong.
She is a mystery, and it is likely that her situation will bring many unknown dangers, but it may also be another help.
"Aunt Su, what kind of person is my mother......"
