Chapter 68: The Fall of the Meng Clan
Recently, the Shen Mansion has been very uneasy, since Meng's poisoning, things have been one after another, and Cao Detian's movements tonight are really not small, not only woke up Shen Jun and Shen Kangzhi, but even the people in the big room and the third room gathered together.
"Old lady, you have to be the master of the slaves! The second lady is going to kill me!" After seeing Shen Jun, Cao Detian hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in horror, still shocked.
Shen Jun frowned and asked, "Meng Shi is still on the sickbed now, how can he kill you?"
"She bought the killer!" Cao Detian exclaimed urgently, "If it weren't for the minions struggling to resist, I'm afraid there would be no life!"
Song didn't understand: "Why did she kill you in a good manner?"
Cao Detian just wanted to say something, but he immediately paused again, and he couldn't answer Song's question for a while.
Wei Shi in the third room yawned and said, "Steward Cao, if you have something to say, you can speak directly, and wake people up in the middle of the night, but you are so distracted, how can we make decisions for you?"
"This ......" Cao Detian was in a hurry, and a fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
He was just in a hurry and wanted to save his life, but if he shook out the affairs of the Meng family, he might be bitten back by her again, and he would end up losing both.
Shen Kangzhi looked at his swaying appearance, his eyes sank, and he said coldly: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
has reached this point, I am afraid that if I retreat again, the Meng clan will not let him go easily, gritted his teeth, and said: "Today's fake monk was asked by the second lady to find me to frame the third lady. ”
As soon as he said this, some people were surprised, but some people seemed to have guessed it a long time ago.
Wei Shi was not surprised at all, and said, "So she bought the killer to take your life?"
Cao Detian nodded and said, "Please also ask the old lady to know it!"
Wei Shi said: "If it's just this matter, the second sister-in-law doesn't have to go to great lengths to kill your mouth, there won't be any other hidden secrets, right?"
Wei's gossip appearance made Shen Caizhi cough uncomfortably, signaling her not to be too outrageous.
Beads of sweat the size of a bean appeared on Cao Detian's forehead, and he said hesitantly: "There is also the poison of the eyebrows in the second lady, which is not from the third lady, but the poison taken by the second lady herself in order to frame the third lady......"
"Bang-" When Shen Jun heard this, he couldn't help but slap the table hard, and even the teacup on the table was so shocked that he almost fell.
Shen Kangzhi's eyes became deeper and deeper.
"Such a poisonous woman, our Shen family can't stay!" Shen Jun said angrily.
Shen Kangzhi said to Zhou Geng: "Let someone bring the second lady over." ”
After a long while, Meng Shi was helped into the hall by the two grandmothers.
Compared with the pale complexion of the previous two days, she looks much better today, but she still looks weak.
"Poisonous woman, you have framed Sister Shu many times, what else do you have to say now!" Shen Jun asked angrily.
Fortunately, she couldn't succeed today, otherwise I don't know what crime Sister Shu would have suffered! When he thought of this hypocritical woman doing so many unsightly things behind her back, he trembled with anger!
How could his son marry such a vicious man!
As soon as Meng Shi came, he was questioned like this, and he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My daughter-in-law is wronged! I have been honestly staying in my yard these days, how could I frame Sister Shu!"
"Second sister-in-law, don't quibble, Steward Cao has recruited them. Wei sneered.
Meng's body trembled, and he turned his head to look at Cao Detian incredulously: "You...... Why do you want to slander me! I treat you well on weekdays!"
Cao Detian said in a deep voice: "If you treat me well, do you want to secretly send someone to assassinate me? Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust!"
Meng Shi was confused by him: "What assassination? I have never done such a thing!"
"If it weren't for my fate, I wouldn't have been able to confront you here!" Cao Detian's arm hurt so much that although the bleeding had stopped, he had palpitations, "Second lady, it was you who crossed the river and demolished the bridge! You must be afraid that I will ask you for hush money before you will kill me!"
"You-" Meng Shi pointed at Cao Detian, his liver ached, "I didn't!"
"Steward Cao, you said that she assassinated Sister Shu'er, is there any evidence?" Song, who had been silent for a long time, asked.
This question made Cao Detian difficult, Meng Shi has always been cautious, and some things are only verbally ordered to be done, and there is naturally not much evidence left.
He was silent for a long time and said, "This ......"
Seeing Cao Detian's hesitation, Meng Shi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This is clearly something out of nothing, although Sister Shu is not my own child, but I have treated her well over the years, if you want to harm her, you have already done it, why wait until now?"
"Originally, the third young lady was cowardly, and you didn't take it seriously. Cao Detian snorted coldly and said.
Meng Shi glared at Cao Detian, he really wanted to strangle him to death, he originally thought that he would not provoke things by himself, but it seemed that he still overestimated him!
"You want to frame me just based on your words, I naturally can't say you, maybe you want to harm me, and you will move the charge to Sister Shu!" Meng said.
Seeing that Meng Shi wanted to push the charges clean, Cao Detian was anxious, only to see him stand up suddenly, pointed at Meng Shi and said: "Back then, in order to kill Xiao Yinyin, you also divided her dowry into 20% for me, this is the evidence, how can you quibble!"
He almost shouted out these words, just to make Meng Shi shut up earlier, but when he finished saying this, he found that the entire hall was quiet.
Everyone looked at him in amazement.
Xiao Yinyin was really killed!
Cao Detian realized that he was out of control, looked at Shen Kangzhi's extremely dark expression, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Second Master...... It's none of my business, it's all Meng Shi instructed me to do it!"
Shen Kangzhi, who had been silent, finally stood up, but his body trembled slightly, and he stared at Cao Detian and Meng Shi who were kneeling on the ground, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Say!" Shen Kangzhi's voice became hoarse, and he looked directly at Cao Detian, "Say it clearly!"
Cao De really wanted to shave his ears, but now, if he continued to hide it, it would only anger Shen Kangzhi even more.
He bowed his head and said, "When Xiao Yinyin was pregnant, Meng Qiulan had already found me and asked me to do my hands and feet in Xiao Yinyin's medicine or meals to help her become the second wife of the Shen family, so Xiao Yinyin went to ...... not long after giving birth."
Cao Detian continued to speak, but Shen Kangzhi couldn't listen to it anymore.
He never imagined that this would be the case.
I always thought that Yinyin's death was just an accident, because only by finding a stepmother who was good to Shu'er's sisters and brothers would they let them live the same life as others, and I thought that I would treat them equally so that Meng would not have a sense of crisis for them.
But he was wrong!
He married the woman who killed Yinyin back home, took Yinyin's place, and almost ruined his daughter!
When everyone thought that Sister Shu was wrong, he took it for granted, but he didn't think about whether he wronged her.
I have investigated so many big cases, but I have been hidden by a backhouse woman for so long!
Meng Shi saw his gloomy eyes and wanted to step forward to explain, but he was too frightened to move, but his heart had sunk to the bottom.
"Take Meng Shi down, she is not allowed to leave the room without an order, and no one is allowed to look at her. Shen Kangzhi closed his eyes and said.
"Kangzhi, I was wrong! Can you forgive me?" Meng Shi knelt and climbed forward, pulling the corners of Shen Kangzhi's clothes tightly, "I am the mother of Sister Yan and Ji Ge'er......!
"Take it down. Shen Kang's hand was clenched tightly, and the green tendons burst out, if he hadn't endured it, he was afraid that he would kill her in front of so many people now!
"Second Master ......"
Meng Shi was forced to stand down, his voice became quieter and quieter, and the silence of death returned to the entire hall.
Shen Yanshu's room was still lit with a dim candle lamp.
The door was gently pushed open, and Xi Yan, who was wearing a black night suit, walked into the room and walked to Shen Yanshu, who was sitting at the table.
She reported everything tonight and said: "Shen Kangzhi asked his subordinates to prepare poisoned wine for the Meng family, and also ordered him to go down and say that the Meng family was seriously ill and died violently, Cao Detian also broke his leg and drove out of the Shen family, and now the affairs of the Shen family are taken over by Zhou Geng." ”
Shen Yanshu was also stunned when she heard her words, she didn't expect that Xiao Yinyin was killed by the Meng family, after all, the Meng family married into the Shen family after Xiao Yinyin's death, and who would suspect her!
"Miss, this trick really works, then Cao Detian always thought that I was sent by the Meng clan to kill him, and he kept biting the Meng clan until the end. Xiyan said.
Shen Yanshu said: "So don't put your handle in the hands of a person you don't trust." They are grasshoppers on a rope, losing everything, and it seems that the relationship is not good, but in fact it is very fragile, because deep down they are afraid that the other party will betray them. ”
She asked Xi Yan to pretend to be a killer to assassinate Cao Detian, so that he mistakenly thought that it was the Meng clan who did it to him, and in order to survive when he was in chaos, he didn't care about verifying the truth of the matter, and he would definitely find Shen Jun who thought he could keep himself.
But he forgot that Meng Shi and he were in the same boat, so how could he let him push things on her!
Originally, Shen Yanshu just wanted them to eat dogs, and as long as the people of the Shen family were not stupid, they could see that she had been wronged by the Meng family.
I didn't expect to be involved in an old case.
Now that Meng and Cao Detian have fallen, the result is even better than she imagined.
"You go down and rest, and come with me to Min'an Temple tomorrow. Shen Yanshu said to Xi Yan.
Xiyan nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Shen Yanshu.
"Yan Xi. Shen Yanshu raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "Did you tell Master my identity?"
Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said: "Yesterday, I wanted to go to Min'an Temple to find Master Qingde to come and debunk their tricks, but I didn't expect to meet Master Lingyuan and them on the way, as for your identity, I didn't dare to say." ”
Shen Yanshu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Well, you go down." ”
