Chapter 34: Confession
"Let it out? Won't that be bitten back by a poisonous snake? ”
"No, this snake is the same as people, suddenly in an unfamiliar place, where does it dare to burst out and hurt people? Why can't you look around? What's more, it is very rare for a snake to take the initiative to bite someone, what happened to Madame that day? I don't know, I think someone did something in advance to cause the poisonous snake to bite Madame. ”
Speaking of this, my heart couldn't help but move, and I secretly said that this was a good opportunity to plant a false seed, because I pondered: What kind of spices and so on Mrs. Xu was put on her body......
didn't wait to finish speaking, but listened to Xin Nian beside him: "I see, such a terrible thing, when I wanted to come to Mother Zhang's mother, I was also frightened, right?" ”
Aunt Gu was still trapped in her own thoughts, thinking about how to cause trouble, and when she heard this, she subconsciously replied: "But not? The old man was so frightened that her face turned white, and she was chanting Buddha vigorously, and I comforted her......"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, she was stunned, and then there was a "click" in her mind, as if she had hit a scorching thunder, and her whole person was motionless.
It took a long time for Aunt Gu's eyes to dare to look at Xin Nian, only to see her sitting there, looking at herself quietly, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "What was my sister thinking just now?" I told me the truth. ”
"I ...... I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything......"
Aunt Gu's face was pale, and she tried to deny it incoherently, and then looked at the room, there were only herself and Xin Nian, and she thought: There is no evidence, as long as I bite to death and don't admit it, it is useless to rely on what she says, and grandma will probably help me.
Thinking about it like this, the more courageous he became, and he was about to say two more cruel words, when he saw Xin Nian say coldly: "I have said that I have leaked my mouth, do you still have to resist stubbornly?" Do you think that there is no one else here, empty words, you just don't recognize it? I don't want to think about it, since I know that it is Zhang Poziyun's poisonous snake, will I let her go? Pull to play dozens of boards, are you afraid that she won't recruit? Besides, why do you think I used Mrs. Zhang to deceive you? The iron box you mentioned was hidden in her house, didn't I find this during the search, which made me suspicious, and I could deceive you so accurately? When the time comes, the human and material evidence will be complete, and I will see how you can deny it. ”
Aunt Gu fell into the abyss and muttered, "The iron box...... I had already let her throw it away, and she ...... Why is she still there? This old ...... It's really stingy and loves money, and I shouldn't have used her in the first place. ”
"Who do you use without her? Who else can make you trust wholeheartedly in this mansion and enter and exit the back door freely, except for Mrs. Zhang? ”
"You...... You already knew? ”
Aunt Gu's face turned pale, but she saw Xin Nian shaking her head: "I'm not an immortal, how could I have known it a long time ago?" It's just that when it happened that day, I noticed that you looked different. Besides, you are from Lingnan, and there are many poisonous snakes there, so I am a little suspicious. Think about it, if you do it, and you can't leave the house in the near future, who will you find to help you transport poisonous snakes? I asked a few mothers-in-law, and they all said that your girl usually has a lot of dealings with Mrs. Zhang, so I made people pay extra attention to the search, and I heard that there was a strange iron box, and I knew it in my heart, so I called you over, sure enough, first tighten and then loosen, and when you decide that I don't suspect you, after letting down my guard, I won't admit myself. ”
Aunt Gu pursed her lips, but she was still speechless after all.
She sat there blankly, and she didn't know how long it took, she suddenly smiled miserably, stood up and tidied up her clothes, and said softly: "That's it, my sister is really Bingxue smart, as you said, at this time, I am still stubbornly resisting, what's the use?" I confessed it, I did everything, my sister went and told the lord and Mrs. that this matter can be closed, whether it is killing or chopping, I will bear it. ”
Xin Nian didn't move, she stared at Aunt Gu, and said softly: "Although every word I said since you entered the door was to deceive you, there is one sentence in it, I am serious." ”
Aunt Gu was like a wood carved clay tire, and she didn't ask her, nor did she react at all. Xin Nian said to himself: "Murdering Mrs. is an inevitable capital crime, but it will not benefit you at all." Sister, why are you so confused? To make such a heinous mistake. ”
Aunt Gu finally reacted, she looked at Xin Nian, suddenly slammed her fist on her chest, and said excitedly: "I'm confused? Yes, I'm confused, but no matter how confused, don't I even know how big or small? I didn't know that murdering the mistress was a capital offense? I don't know that even if my wife dies, it will be impossible for my concubine to be straightened out? What do I not know? But...... But ......"
"But what?"
Xin Nian asked closely, but saw Aunt Gu shaking her head with a wry smile, waving her hand and saying, "Why should my sister ask?" Can't a smart man like you see who will be the most proud after the death of your wife? You've said that who would take such a big risk if there was no great benefit? ”
"What do you mean......"
Xin Nian took a deep breath, which matched the guess in her heart. But I saw Aunt Gu dusting off her clothes, and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to ask anymore, I want to come to the master and hope that the matter will be completely concluded when I come here, otherwise what will he do?" I don't want him to be embarrassed, I just hope that when I die, he can often think of Chen'er and take more care of this motherless child. ”
As he spoke, thinking of his heart, he couldn't help but cry like rain.
Xin Nian saw that she was crying miserably, and she also had mixed feelings, and said in a deep voice: "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" I don't believe it, it was grandma who forced you to do this with a knife? What the hell do you have in her hands? ”
Aunt Gu cried: "If I only use a knife to force me to get better, I would rather die than do it." But who can not bow his head under the eaves? How can I have the backbone of a sister? What's more, as proud as you are, don't you bow your head now? Are you for yourself? Not for the sixth young master and the fourth girl? It is said that motherhood is strong, but I don't know that motherhood is also weak, and the child is the death hole of the mother, I just want our mother to have a better life in the future. ”
"Then you're going to hurt Madame? Aren't you afraid that the cycle of heavenly retribution will be unpleasant? Have you ever wondered? If the lady really dies under the mouth of the poisonous snake, can your conscience be at peace? Even if you eat and drink in the future, you will be able to eat well and sleep soundly? ”
"What does it matter if I can't eat or sleep well? As long as Chen'er can eat well and sleep soundly, and have a good future in the future, this is enough. As for the lady's innocence, indeed, these are all my sins, and when my retribution comes in the future, there will be a knife mountain oil pot under the nine springs to punish me, and when I have received all the punishments and atoned for my sins, if we can see each other at that time, I will ask her for sin again. ”
