Chapter 496: Broken Leg

Zhou Ma leaned on the kang, his face was pale, and he had a headache again.

She told her sister Ma: "Zhou Jinpu coaxed a few guards who were responsible for guarding the West Courtyard with clever words, asked them to open one eye and close one eye and let themselves into the house to see A's family, and then sent a pack of medicine to A's family, and told her to do it herself, fascinated the two girls who guarded her, and then climbed out of the back window, walked to the corner in the dark along the root of the back wall, found a long ladder he had placed in advance, climbed to the top of the wall and turned over. At first, things went well for the Ah family, but when she climbed the wall, the long ladder on that side was removed, and when she wanted to come back, someone else removed the long ladder on this side. Then the guards came with torches, and Ah Jia was so frightened that he accidentally carried him off the wall, broke his leg, and had blood on his forehead......"

Ma Shi was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Aren't those guards all sent by the Guogong Mansion?" Why do you still listen to Zhou Jinpu's coaxing? Where does he seem to be able to coax people?! ”

Zhou Ma smiled bitterly. Zhou Yijun said on the side: "The old lady confessed to the crime yesterday, although my grandfather ordered someone to block the news, everyone present can hear it." The old lady was angry, and there were more haters of her among the guards! It's just that they were ordered to guard the West Courtyard, and it was not easy to do anything. The eldest uncle went to talk flatteringly, and they were also happy to push the boat, anyway, they didn't have to do anything to violate the order, they just showed a little flaw, and made the old lady suffer a little, and no one could be killed, and it did not prevent the old lady from being punished, so they responded. ”

Now although the matter is big, but in order to protect the eldest son, Zhou Shigong, the head of the third house, specially blocked the news, and did not dare to have even a word of reprimand for the guards who were accomplices to his son, for fear of angering them, they would tell the matter to Zhen Guogong, and then the culprit of his precious eldest son would definitely not be able to escape punishment. If he can be ruthless and tell Zhenguo Gong about the matter, Zhen Guogong may still punish the dereliction of duty of his own soldiers, but isn't he ruthless? What else could he do but politely salute the guards?

Haitang asked Zhou Yijun in a low voice: "How is the old lady Ma's injury now?" Is there a lot of bleeding? Doesn't it matter if you don't ask for a doctor? ”

Zhou Yijun nodded slightly: "Yu's life is fine, but his leg is broken." There are veterans in the house who have learned medical skills, and it is not a problem to treat bruises and traumatic injuries, but now they have bandaged the old lady, and they have also taken medicine to stop the bleeding. It's just that the old soldier is not a serious doctor after all, and his hands are heavy, and the old lady keeps crying out in pain. My grandfather wanted someone to boil her some medicine that could calm her nerves and relieve pain, but no one in the family knew the recipe......

The veteran who had studied medicine practiced the means of treating wounded soldiers on the battlefield, and it was impossible not to know the prescription for pain relief and analgesia, but he said that he couldn't, and Zhou Shigong couldn't do anything with him. Needless to say, this veteran is also a person who knows the inside story and has a grudge against Mrs. Ma.

In fact, the veterans in the house, all the old subordinates who have followed the old lady to the battlefield and still miss the old lady's majesty and kindness during his lifetime, after knowing what Mrs. Ma has done, which one does not resent her? When Mrs. Ma and her daughter lost all their three-room property, they were never so angry. But what she did in the past affected the name of the old lady in the third room before and after her death, that is another matter. Everyone wished that she would suffer more, it was better to die early, and save herself from continuing to live in the world, and remind others that the old lady married such a harmful spirit, and her life's achievements were all in vain!

Haitang tilted her head and asked Zhou Mashi: "Auntie, what does Zhou Jinpu think in his heart?" Did he deliberately trick Mrs. Ma out and cause her to break her leg? Is he taking revenge on her? ”

Zhou Mashi sighed: "He said that he was just badly taught by A's family and embarked on a crooked path, so he will be old and achieve nothing." and his daughter-in-law, who was also married for him by the master of the A family. In the past, he felt that his daughter-in-law was good anywhere, and he was grateful to the Ah family for giving him a happy marriage; A few days ago, his daughter-in-law was clamoring for reconciliation and separation, and he resented the Ah family, thinking that Ah Jia deliberately told him a troublemaker, deliberately wanting to harm him......"

To tell the truth, Zhou Jinpu himself was willing to get married in this marriage back then, and he has always had a good relationship with his wife, and the two also gave birth to several children. And Zhou Jinpu's daughter-in-law was clamoring for reconciliation and divorce some time ago, mainly because she was frightened by the fact that Sanfang was facing the accusation of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and she was afraid of death, and she was afraid that she would affect her mother's family. Now that things have changed, and the third room is out of trouble, she is relieved and no longer wants to reconcile. But Zhou Jinpu was already resentful, but he was determined to leave, and he hated his wife and stepgrandmother even more.

Zhou Ma didn't plan to persuade anything about this, anyway, Zhou Jinpu and his wife didn't like her, if the stepson married a sensible and filial daughter-in-law, maybe she could be a little less angry. Helplessly, Zhou Jinpu resented his step-grandmother Mrs. Ma in the matter of marriage, and she was indispensable for sowing discord from it. She knew this in her heart, so she couldn't help but feel empty-hearted, afraid that her husband Zhou Shigong would know. When Zhou Shigong scolded her son, she also helped to ask for a few words of affection and said a few good words, which made her husband and stepson look at her with admiration, thinking that she had changed sex.

Zhou Ma said to Ma with some scorn: "Now I don't know if Jinpu is grateful, I don't plan to give the amount, or just forget the amount of provocation, the master still doesn't know what the amount said to Jinpu." I was scared in my heart, and I was afraid that Ah Jia would be seriously injured, so I didn't ask the doctor to catch the medicine, in case there was a bad thing, no one drank the medicine given by the emperor, and they couldn't explain to the Zhenguo Mansion and Tu Tongzhi, and they were so worried that they couldn't even make the old headache! ”

Ma Shi said angrily: "Eldest sister, why are you panicking?!" What you said was to sow discord, but it was just to persuade Zhou Jinpu not to be sad for Mrs. Ma, and to say it was to care and comfort his son, how could my brother-in-law blame you for this?! Besides, you just said a few words to Zhou Jinpu yesterday, and you tricked someone into jumping off the wall before he could do it overnight, is he so capable? I'm afraid it's been prepared a long time ago, what does it have to do with you?! Can't you just be a little more angry and straighten up and speak?! You are all this old, you have children and grandchildren, and you have also provided for the old lady to the end. Now that there is no old lady Ma, who is deliberately making things difficult for you, how can your brother-in-law divorce you? He doesn't want to be embarrassed?! ”

Zhou Mashi said with red eyes: "Yumei, you have never blushed with your brother-in-law in your life, you don't know the bitterness in your heart." Well, these past few months have been so happy, I really don't want to go back to the old days......"

Although Ma looks like he hates iron but not steel, but this is the eldest sister's marriage, what can she say?

She took a few deep breaths, stopped scolding, and only asked Zhou Mashi: "Eldest sister, is my brother-in-law planning to keep it a secret now?" Don't let the Zhenguo Mansion and the Dusi Yamen know that Mrs. Ma's leg is broken? But when your brother-in-law comes back to see Mrs. Ma for the last time, and Ma Shangyi sends poison, you will still find that she is injured, right? Isn't it the same when the time comes?! ”

Zhou Mashi whispered: "The master said that he was going to tell Changfang, Ah Jia knew that he was guilty, and he had no shame to see his relatives and children, and he committed suicide last night, and was found and saved, his leg was broken at that time, and the injury on his forehead was also ......."

Ma couldn't help but roll his eyes: "If she wants to die, how can she use her son as an excuse to delay her sentence?" How could Grandpa Guo believe such stupid words?! ”

"The guards have done something wrong, and if they don't want to be punished, they will cooperate. With their testimony, Grandpa Guo has no reason not to believe it. Zhou Mashi pursed his lips, "It's just that the Ah family scolds badly, once outsiders hear it, what Jinpu does can't be hidden." The old man was really helpless, so he had to persuade Jinpu to make amends to the old lady. Jinpu didn't agree, and the Ah family refused to shut up. The old man is worried! ”
