Chapter 40: Unintentional Mistakes

Mrs. Li shook her head vigorously and denied: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law really didn't do such a thing. ”

After thinking about it, he felt that it was not convincing enough, so he simply raised his head and looked at the old lady, and said earnestly: "Auntie, you also watched me grow up, how capable I am, Auntie, you know better than anyone else." How dare I do such a thing? ”

The old lady was stunned by her "aunt".

After a long time, the old lady sighed, her expression softened a little, but she was still serious: "There is no one else now, you tell me honestly, whether you did this thing or not." ”

Mrs. Leigh shook her head desperately. Kowtow vigorously: "If I do it, I will thunder and thunder in the sky, and I will not die well." Auntie, I really just asked this woman to find out the news. ”

The old lady was distraught by Mrs. Li's resolute appearance, and the things she had originally decided in her heart began to waver. It's just that....... Glancing at the mother-in-law kneeling next to Mrs. Li, the old lady's eyes became sharp again: "You said that you didn't do it, but this mother-in-law insisted that it was you." Tell me, what's going on? ”

Mrs. Lee was stunned. Then he looked at the mother-in-law sharply, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to tear the mother-in-law apart: "She is talking nonsense!" ”

The mother-in-law couldn't help but speak when she saw what had happened, so she hurriedly kowtowed to the old lady and said, "Old lady, the slave doesn't dare to lie. I am Mrs. Leigh's person, and I will do whatever she asks me to do, and I dare not disobey. The old lady thought about it, if it weren't for Mrs. Li's orders, how would I dare to do such a hurtful thing? It's all Mrs. Li, who promised to keep me safe afterwards, and also gave me a sum of money to support my old age, otherwise how could I do such a thing in a moment of lard? ”

The mother-in-law said with a look of affirmation but a chiseled look that was irrefutable, and the old lady looked at Mrs. Li with deep eyes.

Mrs. Li panicked in her heart, and scolded her mother-in-law with a fierce voice: "Nonsense! When did I ask you to do something like this? The last time you eavesdropped and was caught by the second master, I had no contact with you! How dare you frame me like that! ”

Suddenly, Mrs. Li's heart flashed, and she sneered as if she had caught something: "Yes, it's because I don't reuse the money you gave you anymore that you hate me, don't you?" That's why they did such a thing to frame me! ”

After that, he looked at the old lady again: "Auntie, I really haven't done such a thing, please aunt make the decision for me!" ”

The old lady looked at Mrs. Li and then at her mother-in-law, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in her heart - was it really not Li Niang's doing?

After thinking about it, perhaps, Mrs. Li didn't dare to admit it, so she deliberately said this?

These two thoughts swirled around in the old lady's mind, and she couldn't make up her mind for a moment. Who the hell is lying?

For a full quarter of an hour, the old lady still couldn't see any clues. Lady Leigh and the woman were both determined, and neither seemed to be lying.

The old lady had no choice but to wave her hand and let people continue to lock up the mother-in-law, and also let people send Mrs. Li back to the room. You can't spend it here all the time.

When everyone retreated, the old lady sighed - this matter is not easy to judge at all. The mother-in-law insisted that it was Mrs. Li, even if she went to court, Mrs. Li would only be beaten into a trick.

But how can this matter go to court? It doesn't matter whether Mrs. Li is a trick or not, the important thing is that the Gu family can't afford to lose this person. The ugliness of the family should not be publicized. Especially people like them.

After thinking about it, the old lady stood up again and asked the girl outside to come in and serve her to dress and freshen up. How to deal with this matter, let's ask Concubine Rong.

Half a day later, the old lady returned from the palace. When I came back, I called everyone in the second room, including the children.

The old lady glanced around, and her gaze stayed on everyone's faces, especially on Mrs. Li's face.

Mrs. Li was immediately seen to be weak and weak, and she couldn't stand. She couldn't help but think, could it be that the old lady believed the mother-in-law's words? So the old lady wants to .......

This thought made Mrs. Li shiver and involuntarily clenched Gu Yingyin's hand.

Just as she wanted to say something to defend herself, but the old lady opened her mouth at this time, and she had to keep her mouth shut.

The old lady said slowly: "I am very saddened by the death of the second daughter-in-law. I heard that someone had collided with my second daughter-in-law, and I was shocked and quickly asked someone to investigate the matter. So far, I've found out a little bit of eyebrows. ”

Gu Wanyin immediately looked up at the old lady, not only her, but others as well. Only Mrs. Leigh's heart was beating fast, very fast.

The old lady sighed: "The second daughter-in-law is also a blessed woman, she went early at a young age, and left a child waiting to be fed." It's also that my Gu family is not blessed, such a good daughter-in-law can't be kept! ”

Gu Wanyin raised her eyebrows - what did the old lady mean by suddenly saying this? Don't.......

Her gaze narrowed, and she stared at the old lady deadly.

"The death of the second daughter-in-law was indeed an accident." The old lady said such a sentence slowly and sadly, as if she was overwhelmed with sadness. But soon his tone was sharp again: "But the mother-in-law who bumped into the second daughter-in-law, I won't let it go!" Although the mother-in-law didn't have a heart, but after all, she made a big mistake, and she was punished by fifty rods, and if she didn't die, she would be sent to the most remote Zhuangzi! ”

Fifty canes, the young man can probably survive, but if it is replaced by that woman, I am afraid that he will die in Huangquan. Therefore, the old lady's punishment is not light.

However, Gu Wanyin felt uncomfortable in her heart. She was not convinced! How dare a mother-in-law do this? How dare you? If you want to say that there is no one behind her, who will believe it?

But the old lady said that it was an unintentional mistake! One sentence easily obscured the facts.

Gu Wanyin took a step forward, regardless of it: "I don't believe it!" Mother must have been killed! ”

The old lady choked suddenly, and then sank her face: "Wanyin, that's the case, if you don't believe it, you can't convict people at will!" ”

Gu Wanyin felt a chill in her heart, only feeling disappointed. was about to continue arguing, but the old lady waved her hand: "Take a few young ladies and young masters down." By the way, all the girls are coming! ”

Gu Wanyin was forcibly taken down before she could resist. Even Bihe covered her mouth.

Gu Wanyin looked at Bihe resentfully, and Bihe even shivered slightly under her gaze. But Bihe still didn't let go - after so many years by the old lady's side, she knew better than anyone else what was important.
