Chapter Twenty-Eight: Almost Crazy
Song Yao didn't believe that Cui Mama would betray her, Cui Mama had fainted and hadn't woken up at this time, so she had to order someone to call Lu Xingwang for questioning.
"You say, you heard that Aunt Zheng gave your mother a sum of money every month?"
Lu Xingwang played a scoundrel: "If you give me fifty taels, I'll say." ”
Mrs. Liu scolded sharply: "Madame asked, you answered honestly." ”
Lu Xingwang sniffed: "That...... Give five taels to the head office, right? ”
Song Yao was anxious for an answer, and said with a cold face: "Give it to him." ”
The maid of Chengxintang went to take five taels of silver and threw it in front of Lu Xingwang.
Lu Xingwang picked it up and put it in his arms.
"I heard it, my mother and my father talked behind closed doors, I went to eavesdrop, my mother said, Aunt Zheng gave her ten taels of silver every month, and she would save enough five hundred taels soon, and she could buy me a few acres of land, buy the house next door, and marry me a daughter-in-law."
Song Yao's breath was blocked in his chest, and he couldn't go up or down.
Seeing this, Mama Wang hurriedly rubbed her back and said, "Madam, don't be angry, it's not worth it if you're angry." ”
Can Song Yao not be angry? Ten taels a month, almost enough to save five hundred taels, which means that Mama Cui has betrayed her for four years.
She trusts Mama Cui so much.
If you can't say it to others, say it to Mama Cui, and let Mama Cui do what you can't let people know.
She never treated her badly, even if she knew that Mama Cui privately accepted the filial piety of her subordinates and filled her pockets, she pretended not to know.
As a result, Aunt Zheng bought Mama Cui for a little money.
Those things that she thought only God knew, and what she and Mama Cui knew, Zheng Fox, who was far away in Xuancheng, knew.
knows that she cried in the middle of the night, knew that she murdered her daughter-in-law, and knew how she made things difficult for Aunt Wei's mother and son......
No wonder, when she suspected that the master was asking her for money to help Aunt Zheng ask for money, and she didn't want to give it, Mama Cui tried her best to persuade her not to disobey the master, what to say...... Aunt Zheng is already very unfavorable to her by the master's side, if she can't even meet this request, she will have no status in the master's heart......
So, she gritted her teeth and met the master's request again and again, tightening her belt, and she couldn't shorten the master's side.
Even, even murdering Ah Ning was Mama Cui's idea.
Song Yao's thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble, like falling into an ice cellar.
She knew that many people inside and outside the house were laughing at her, a lady who was born in a scholarly family and was married to a large sedan chair, but she couldn't fight a concubine from a small family.
She can only deceive herself and comfort herself that the one who has the last laugh is the winner.
In this contest between the main house and the concubine, she must win in the end.
But now, even the most trusted and powerful person around her has betrayed her.
She's been reduced to a real joke.
Song Yao was about to go crazy.
She ordered someone to kick Lu Xingwang out, let everyone out, and locked herself in the house.
Now no one in her can believe that Zheng Fox can even buy Mama Cui, who else can't buy it?
Who else are these maids in her house who are Zheng Fox's people?
The liuzhu that Mama Cui often praises?
Or look at the honest Biyun?
Song Yao's demon doubted everything as if he was stunned.
When Jiang Wanning got the news and rushed over, Song Yu had already arrived one step ahead of her.
"Mother, ...... you open the door?"
"Mother, just a cheap maid, disloyal and unjust, killing is it, it's not worth it to be angry for her."
"Mother, if you don't open the door again, I'll kick the door......"
Song Yu was really anxious.
He knows better than anyone else that his mother's dependence and trust on Mama Cui is now that he knows that he is raising a wolf by his side, and his mother's mood can be imagined.
Not everyone can withstand such a blow.
The birthday banquet is coming, if the mother falls ill because of this, will the birthday banquet be held? He's already sent out all the invitations.
There was still no movement in the house.
Song Yu took a few steps back and was about to kick the door, but Jiang Wanning grabbed him and shook his head at him.
Jiang Wanning said to the closed door: "Mother-in-law, you are so miserable, if you are known by the Xuancheng person, she will be very happy, you can't do what she wants, you have to let her know that her little tricks can't hurt you at all." ”
"You are the wife of the main house, with the support of the family and two sons, what does she have? Except for some foxy tricks, she's nothing like you. Even if the lord spoils her now, and the lord is promoted in the future, can he still ask for her life? Lady Decree is the only one you can do, and you will be angry with her......"
"You should take out the majesty of the lady in charge, make an example of the chicken, let her know that she buys one, you will solve one, buy a pair and you will solve a pair, she has the ability to buy all the subordinates, and the daughter-in-law will help you replace all the subordinates. It is even more necessary to ask the mansion to look up and down, the eyes are not good, and the fate of the master is not recognized. ”
The door slammed open, and Song Yao walked out, looking at Jiang Wanning with a complicated expression.
Jiang Wanning coughed a few times and returned to a weak posture: "Mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law is in a hurry, I am afraid that my mother-in-law will not be able to think about it, and she will not be able to speak." ”
Song Yao groaned: "No, what you said is very right, you are not in good health, go back and rest first!" ”
Jiang Wanning looked at Song Yu's meaning, and Song Yu nodded at her.
"The daughter-in-law retired first."
After Jiang Wanning left, Song Yao called his son in.
"I really didn't expect Mama Cui to betray me." Song Yao had calmed down, but he was still sad in his heart.
"Mother, I think what Ah Ning said is right, Mama Cui must be severely punished to set an example."
"I know that since she is unkind, she will not blame me for being unjust." Song Yao's eyes showed a cold light, Cui Mama must die, Cui Mama knows too many secrets about her.
"It's just that none of the people in my house can use it anymore, and who knows who else has been bought." They cannot be tortured to extract confessions.
Song Yu thought so: "Mother, it's better to transfer a few maids who just entered the mansion to summon them, they are new, and they will be trained slowly." ”
Song Yao sighed: "I think so too. ”
"Yu'er, in the future, our mother and son will have more of a heart, we can't let the surname Zheng see the jokes, you are my mother's first child, and my mother values you the most."
Song Yu wouldn't believe this kind of thing, but he didn't want to argue with her, so he responded: "Yes, the child understands." ”
On that day, several of their new maidservants were transferred to Chengxintang on errands, and all the maidservants of Chengxintang were sent to the outer courtyard.
Mama Cui died that night, and when the Lu family came to collect the body, there was no trouble, the father and son rolled up the straw mat one by one, and a cart carrying night incense pulled people away.
Jiang Wanning learned from Daylily that Song Yao gave the Lu family fifty taels of comfort money, which was actually hush money, and threatened that if they wanted to make trouble, she would give the eighth master a thousand taels and let the eighth master clean them up.
What happened today looks like an "accident", Jiang Wanning claimed to the outside world that Mama Cui was angry with her son.
A gambler who came to ask for the money, because he couldn't get the money, was angry and revealed the fact that his mother had betrayed his master, and then the mother was furious and died.
Who believes?
At least Mama Wang didn't believe it.
She told the eldest lady two days ago that Cui's mother might have betrayed her wife, and Cui's mother's son Lu Xingwang was a gambler.
As a result, today, the crime of Mama Cui's betrayal is confirmed, and no one is gone.
If this matter is really the handiwork of the big lady.
Mama Wang shuddered and decided to be more careful to serve the eldest lady in the future.
What the Song family didn't know was that Grandma Cui's body was not taken home, but was taken to another place.
