Su Chengye saw that his mother was dismissed by the second daughter-in-law for defending herself.

He was even more inexplicably identified as a murderer, and he was so angry that his face was red.

Su Chengye: "My brother-in-law's words are simply nonsense, my father and my second brother learned that my grandmother had passed away, so I rushed back from Tongwuguan overnight, and I was not in the capital at all, how could I harm my grandmother?" ”

He turned his head to look at Su Chengming, "Second brother, you just let your brother and daughter-in-law come like this?" ”

Su Chengming, who was named, didn't know what he was thinking, but when he heard the words, he hurriedly came back to his senses, smiled, got up from the chair, and walked to Xie Wanyan's side.

It looked like she was defending Xie Wanyan, but in fact, the hand hidden behind her back kept pulling the corners of Xie Wanyan's clothes, glaring at her desperately, signaling her not to go too far.

Xie Wanyan was angry and red-eyed, how could she listen to him, and shook off his hand willfully.

"Big brother's words are wrong, although you are not in the capital, but your sister-in-law is here......"

She walked in front of Zheng Yurong, "My sister-in-law has been in charge of the middle feed for all these years, because of the fact that Uncle Jiu has kept spending money outside, she has been sandwiched between her ancestors and her mother-in-law, and she has been wronged, right?" ”

Zheng didn't know what she meant, sat up slightly straight, and his voice was weak, "It is my duty as a daughter-in-law to share the worries of my ancestors and mother-in-law, both of them are soft-hearted elders, and I have never felt sorry for me, and I have never felt wronged." ”

Xie Wanyan sighed twice.

"I can't see your sister-in-law's face-saving appearance." She scoffed.

"The ancestor is a man of the same temperament, and his mother-in-law has always been the most face-heavy. At the end of each year, the silver on the Zhuangzi and the shop has not been recovered, and the ninth uncle will have to pay a large amount of silver out, if he can't give it, he will have a reputation for doing things inappropriately in front of the ancestors. ”

"But if it is given, the food and clothing of the New Year in the house will have to be reduced, and the festival will be as small as dressing and eating, and as large as the furnishings in the house, all of which are shabby, making people laugh, hurting the face of the uncle, and the mother-in-law will not like it. It's hard to explain on either side. ”

Zheng moved his lips, wanting to refute.

But what Xie Wanyan said was indeed the truth, she couldn't refute half a word in the end, she just held her head and made a splitting headache.

Xie Wanyan saw that she was speechless, and her heart finally felt more comfortable.

"As for me, the ancestor has some pain, and I can't turn around for a while, so I ask for a trick in front of the ancestor, sell a good job, and just push and drag it over. But sister-in-law, you can't wipe off this face, you have to hold on every time, and you also use your dowry to turn around, once or twice, it's just like this, how can you not be resentful in your heart? ”

Zheng Yurong finally realized what she was going to say, raised her eyes, and looked at her in disbelief, her eyes full of disbelief.

"What do you mean, brother-in-law?" She asked in a trembling voice, "Do you want to say that the old ancestor is harmed by me?" ”

"If not you, who else could it be?"

Xie Wanyan raised her eyebrows, "Except for you, me, and Mother Xie, who would know that there is such a loophole in the silver that Uncle Nine took away?" Mother Xie is just a cheap servant, how dare she do this? ”

"If you want me to say, Mother Xie must have been instructed by you to engrave Uncle Jiu's private seal and secretly spend money to lend money. I didn't expect the East Window incident to happen, and under your grudges, you were afraid that your ancestors would know, so you killed your ancestors, yes or no? ”

Zheng Yurong was so angry that sweetness welled up in his throat, "I have never had a personal relationship with Mother Xie......"

"Yo, such a big piece of evidence is ahead, and you still say that you don't have a personal relationship?"

Xie Wanyanjiao interrupted her with a smile, and stretched out her hand to point to Zhao Chunlan, who was kneeling beside Lianqiao, "This Tuesday's family is the steward next to you, right?" She is Lianqiao's aunt, how can you not only be related, you are still relatives! ”

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something, covered her lips and smiled, "Ah, by the way, didn't Mrs. Fang Cai say that Lianqiao is pregnant with a sin in her belly......"

Xie Wanyan's gaze hit Su Chengye and Lianqiao back and forth, and then fell on the eldest grandmother's face, shaking the handkerchief and laughing: "Could it be that Lianqiao is pregnant with the eldest brother's seed in her belly?" ”

The more she talked, the more she felt that she had guessed this matter, "Tongwuguan to the capital, it is only a two-day journey to speed up the horse, and the eldest brother is free, and there is time to go back to Beijing to sow seeds." It's no wonder that Mother Xie and Lianqiao are desperate to do things for your big house, and they want to fly to the branches to be phoenixes! ”

Lianqiao, who was lying on the ground, trembled when she heard this.

When Su Chengye heard this, his face turned blue instantly, "Crazy, crazy, talking such nonsense, I think you are crazy." ”

Su Chengming also hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xie Wanyan's sleeve again, with a little anxious look on his face, which was still calm and light.

Grandma Zheng Yurong only felt ridiculous, and her face turned a little paler, "My husband has always been self-denying, and he will never do such a thing......"

Xie Wanyan interrupted her, "Whether he did this kind of thing or not, he hid it from you, how do you know?" ”

It's like responding to her rhetoric—

At this moment, the embroidered envoy led a servant woman and walked in from outside.

As soon as the servant woman entered the hall, she knelt on the ground and held a jade pendant high above her head, "The slave maid just found this jade pendant in the box of Lianqiao's clothes, and asked the official to take a look at ......it."

Shen Lingxi, who had been watching the play coldly, saw the maid find the jade pendant.

remembered that before leaving Xie's mother's yard, Zhao Chunlan explained the words of those servants and maids: "Grandma has an order to search this house inside and out, but if you find useful clues and can help the embroiderer and the uncle investigate the case, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." ”

At that time, Shen Lingxi only felt that Zhao Chunlan's behavior was very strange, as if he was sure that something would be found out.

Now, seeing this jade pendant, Shen Lingxi can be considered to understand.

I'm afraid it's a game!

She turned her eyes to look at her grandmother Zheng Yurong, and then at her uncle Su Chengye.

They were all at a loss at the appearance of this servant woman and the jade pendant.

On the contrary, it was Zhao Chunlan, who was kneeling on the ground, who had been silent like a cicada, as if she had suddenly relaxed.

And Xie Wanyan, who was standing not far from her, turned her eyes to look at the jade pendant, and suddenly stroked her palm and laughed.

"Yo! Isn't this the jade pendant of the eldest brother? ”

Xie Wanyan laughed happily, "The child in Lianqiao's womb is really the eldest brother, is this your husband and wife...... Shoot yourself in the foot! ”

Su Chengye looked at the jade pendant and frowned.

He stood up, strode over to the servant, and stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant-——

was snatched by Xie Wanyan first.

Xie Wanyan pinched the jade pendant on her fingertips and showed it to everyone, "The old uncle loved to collect ancient jade during his lifetime, and when the male of the Su family was born, the old uncle would personally select the jade material, find a skillful craftsman to carve it into a jade pendant, and give it as a gift." ”

"In addition to my father's jade pendant, all the men's jade pendants are engraved with their names on them by Mr. Nanshan himself, if I remember correctly, the eldest brother's jade pendant is this topaz material!"

Her gaze swept ambiguously over Su Chengye, who had a complicated expression, and landed on Lianqiao, who was lying on the ground and didn't dare to look up.

Covering his lips and sneering: "I also hid this jade pendant in my heart, you cheap woman is really disgusting." ”

She raised her eyes and looked at the eldest grandmother Zheng Yurong again, and said with a teasing smile: "The sister-in-law is really generous, for the sake of silver, she is willing to let a cheap maid conceive the eldest son of your big house." ”

"Now the evidence is conclusive, what the cheap maid said, I will pass it on to you, the matter has come to this point, the evidence is conclusive, sister-in-law, you can admit it......"
