Chapter 474: Old Love
Chapter 475: Old Love
Old Madam Ma was even more annoyed when she heard this: "The cheap maid is rude! How did you raise your daughter at home? How rude?! Is this a place where you can go wild?! ”
"People who scold people and cheap women at every turn are not very educated! Is this really what your upbringing grandmother taught you when you were a child? Don't embarrass her! Haitang rolled her eyes directly at her, "The children taught by our Hai family have always been filial piety, loyalty, courage and patriotism, but they are not comparable to people like you who can't even tolerate their own parents." You are staring at me here and scolding, you know that you are annoyed and angry, and those who don't know think that you are being hit by me, for fear that someone will ask you again about the reason for your collusion with the Hu people, so you can use the topic to play and find an excuse to make me angry! ”
Mrs. Ma choked. Although she was angry because of Begonia's attitude, the reason why she would scold a little girl did have the intention of diverting everyone's attention. Unexpectedly, this little girl turned out to be quite sharp, and immediately pierced her purpose. Now it's a problem!
Zhen Guogong and Tu Rong both stared at her, obviously interested in the questions raised in Haitang's previous "whisper".
Mrs. Saturday smiled and held Begonia's shoulder, and said softly: "Good boy, the question you asked is very good, and then leave it to the adults to deal with." ”
Begonia pushed the boat down the river and retreated to Zhou Yijun's side. She didn't mean to be in the limelight and quarrel with Mrs. Ma. She just wants to expose the ugly things of Mrs. Ma as soon as possible, so that the other party can no longer hide it!
Zhenguo Gong glanced at his wife, and Zhenguo Duchess opened her mouth knowingly: "Third aunt, the third uncle treats you with deep affection, and you have lived well in the past few decades." In the Zhou family, there are not many female dependents who are as comfortable as you. What exactly are you not satisfied with? Even if you have a grudge against the clan, there is no reason to be angry with the Zhou family, right? You know that the Zhou family has guarded the northwest for generations, and it is a feud with the Hu people, I don't know how many children of the Zhou family have died under the sword of the Hu people, but they still have to collude with the Hu people secretly...... What have you done? How many times have you betrayed the Zhou family?! What are you trying to do?! ”
Old Madam Ma was silent, staring at the ground in front of her, silent.
The Duchess of Zhenguo said, "Even if you don't want to say it, we know what you have done." What you instructed the companions to do back then, Grandpa Guo found someone to inquire about it, and the testimony was all in Tu Tongzhi's hands. If you refuse to confess, how about I have my testimony read to everyone? ”
"I don't need to." Old Madam Ma raised her head with a straight face, "Although they used to be my people, they have been serving in your Zhou family for a long time, and they have long become your loyal servants. Naturally, what you say, they confess. Even if it's something I've never done, they'll say I've done it. I know that you dislike me, that I want to rob the border army's glass business, that I conspired with my daughter to calculate the title of the Marquis of Yingchuan, and that I did these things, but I didn't take care of the aftermath, leaving my hands and tails to make people talk! You've long wished I was dead. As soon as I die, there will be no one gossiping about the Zhou family behind my back, so you can rest assured. ”
Hearing that Mrs. Ma was still trying to shirk her responsibilities and splash dirty water on others, everyone present couldn't help but show disdain.
Zhou Ma said angrily: "Fart! If you try to kill you, do you think you'll survive to this day?! Master Emen thought of your nurturing grace back then, no matter how many people persuaded him to end you earlier, he refused to do it. If he knew you would say this, he might as well not miss the old love! ”
She looked at her husband who was standing in the corner behind Zhen Guogong. Zhou Shigong glanced at her and silently looked away.
He regretted it in his heart. If he had known that his stepmother was involved in so many secrets, he should have let her "die" before the beginning of spring. If she died, how could Sanfang have today's disaster?! He let her be buried in a grand ceremony as the wife of the Zhou family, instead of being exposed, which can be regarded as worthy of her nurturing grace back then.
Zhou Mashi saw her husband's expression, and her heart was even more aggrieved. She turned her head and was about to scold Old Madam Ma again, but Ma Sufang and Ma Shangyi took the lead: "The old lady doesn't have to talk about him left and right." When it comes to the relationship between the old lady and the Hu people, the old slave knows some of the past. The old lady's younger brother was raised by the old servant of the family, and she had heard the old servant tell the story of her parents and sisters. He personally told the old slave that when the old lady fornicated with a foreign man, the foreign man was the prince of the Hu people who was hostage in Beijing.
"The old lady reneged on the marriage contract with the prince of Pingxi Hou for him, but he quickly made a new love after you were sent away. The old lady was resentful, and while taking revenge on her family, she did not forget to expose his crime of spying on military aircraft. His conspiracy was revealed, and he hurriedly absconded from Beijing with his injuries, and escaped all the way back to China with difficulty, and later became the king of Huren Khan, until the news of his death came two years ago. ”
Ma Shangyi paused: "The old slave originally thought that since the old lady resented her old lover and took revenge on him, she shouldn't have any good feelings for Hu Ren after marrying into the Zhou family and getting along with her husband." The old slave was also very puzzled, why did the old lady have a relationship with the Hu people? Could it be that the old Khan knew that you fled to Chang'an incognito, and deliberately ordered someone to come to the door? ”
Old Madame's back bent for the first time. Ma Shangyi has talked about this, even if she denies it again, what's the point?
She had to nod her head and admit, "I don't know how his people found out about me...... He sent a handwritten letter with what I had given him back then...... He said that if I didn't want my husband to know what he had done, I had to help them honestly......"
She took a few deep breaths, gritted her teeth and said, "I just did a few customs clearance guides for them, and then helped them sell goods a few times, and I can't do more, and I don't dare to do it." I know it's taboo to do so, but if I don't agree, they'll tell the old lady my secret...... How could I let them ruin my good life?! ”
She raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears: "I really haven't betrayed any military secrets...... I don't have anywhere to inquire about any of these things. Not long after the old lady married me, she retired from the front and concentrated on logistics and armaments. He didn't know about the intelligence on the front, and I didn't have anywhere to inquire. Even if I could, I wouldn't have done anything like that. I just don't want the Hu people to talk nonsense to the old lady, but I don't want the army of Da Chu to lose the battle! If the Zhou family is defeated, as a wife of the Zhou family, don't think about living a good life. I still know the severity of this matter! ”
She cried so hard that many of the people present believed her words a little. At present, there is indeed no evidence to prove that she betrayed any important information about the border army. But if Hu Ren really mastered the handle of the wife of the high-ranking general of the Zhou family, would he be satisfied with just letting her get a few customs clearance guides and sell goods?
That old Khan King of the Hu people is not this kind of soft-hearted character. Could it be that he still has a little pity for his old lover?
Zhen Guogong couldn't help but speak: "How sure are you that the old Khan King of the Hu people will not force you to spy on the Great Chu military plane?" If he has to force you, will you be able to persevere? Instead of hoping that the old Khan King of the Hu people would be soft-hearted, you might as well give it a go! If you are really just a clan girl who was expelled by your parents because of personal affairs, and you have never betrayed Da Chu, you can tell the third uncle everything. With his favor for you, he will not blame you, and he may be able to use this matter to set a trap in turn, lure the Hu people to take the bait, and calculate the Hu army. Then we might have been able to win earlier, and we wouldn't have had to stalemate with the Hu people for all these years. When the time comes, you will have more merit than your fault, who will account for your small mistakes many years ago?!
"Why don't you make it clear to the third uncle? Don't you believe him?! ”
