The person who came to the Wang family was scared out of his wits by Sister Feng's laughter. He hurriedly begged for mercy,"Grandma, this servant has followed you since the Wang family. For so many years, I have been careful and have never made any mistakes. It says that the little girl Qiu 'er was killed by her grandmother. This servant is the first accomplice. Why would it write this? Isn't this servant the old god of longevity who always hangs himself and doesn't want to live long? Grandma saw it clearly!" Snores flowed down his face as he kowtowed.
Ping 'er could also tell that it was written with Grandma's…evidence?
These two words popped up in her heart for no reason. On the day Qiu 'er was chased out, she even sent a few ingots of silver and a few bags of clothes. They were sisters. He had thought that he would have a few days of peace after leaving this place, but he did not expect to hang himself that night.
Back then, he had accompanied four girls here, and now, he was the only lonely ghost left. She buried all these in her heart. The more frightened she was, the calmer she became. She advised Sister Phoenix,"Grandma, sister-in-law Wang 'er has always been loyal. Every word she says is reasonable.”
Sister Phoenix also woke up from her anger and shouted coldly,"Even if it's not her, what about the other things?”With such a thick stack, there must be more than one thing to say.
Although the person who came to the Wang family was shrewd, he was in a mess. How could he have thought that Sister Feng knew nothing about what was written on the paper in her hand?
She hurriedly defended herself." Grandma, it says that Grandma embezzled the maids 'monthly allowance and money for cosmetics and hair oil to earn interest. It was all done by this servant." Even if this servant is a pig, I should also pluck myself out. It's impossible for this servant to do it. Also, the last time the son of the Li family killed someone, my Lai Wang personally went to the capital to bribe him. If the court wants to investigate, he will be the first to be killed. Grandma, no one could have done this to us!”
Sister Phoenix was already furious." It wasn't you? Who else would know about this? Who else had the guts to let these things in? Are you trying to use this to threaten me?”Her phoenix eyes were wide open and her eyebrows were raised like swords.
Those who came to the Wang family wanted to die. They cried,"Grandma, this servant is innocent. If this servant really did it, this servant will die here.”
"Grandma, it can't be Sister-in-law Wang 'er," Ping' er tried her best to persuade her. There were a lot of women here today, and there might be a beast with a broken heart here.”
"That must be the case!" In these two years, they saw this servant follow Grandma and prosper, so they secretly gave this servant many obstacles. If this servant finds out, they will die a horrible death!”He gritted his teeth and wished he could eat his flesh and sleep with his skin!
Sister Feng went through all the maids and daughters-in-law who were in charge of the residence, and even the manservants in her mind. Especially those who did not put her in their eyes because she was the Eldest Mistress's concubine. They seemed to be suspects?
Seeing that Sister Feng didn't reprimand her anymore, the person who came to the Wang family quickly stood up and went forward." Grandma, I thought that the only people who could do such a thing were those old women who always spread rumors. Yesterday, I even heard Old Madam Fei cursing Grandma.”
"Don't talk nonsense," Ping 'er hurriedly said."It was that old woman Fei who was drunk and went crazy. She didn't curse Grandma."”
Sister Phoenix glanced at Ping Er and scolded,"You traitor. When you hear someone scolding me, why aren't you going up and giving her a few slaps? He had someone tie her up and lock her up in the woodshed for the night!”
Ping 'er didn't argue. She turned around and went to pack the clothes in the room." Grandma's things are all kept in the cabinet. One of the boxes at the bottom is filled with silver, the other is also for important things, and the silver notes are in the brocade box. These were all very clear. In the future, when Grandma used a good method, she would be able to find them at a glance. There was no need to be angry and teach them a lesson!”With that, he turned around and left.
Sister Phoenix immediately stopped her." You b * tch, you still dare to show me face? Where are you going?"
Ping 'er lowered her head and said," This servant has made Grandma angry. There's no need for Grandma to do anything. Today, I'll move into the firewood house. If you want to fight or sell, this servant has no complaints."”
Sister Phoenix got up and pinched her face." Are you angry just because I said a few words? Why don't you think about who did this?”
The person from the Lai Wang family observed his expression and quickly smiled,"Miss Ping, we all know that you are Grandma's right-hand man. Grandma can't leave you for even a moment.”
Sister Feng glanced at the visitor, who immediately shut up and smiled.
Ping 'er's little temper was enough, and she advised,"Grandma, this matter is very strange. Who spent so much effort to collect so many things? Instead of reporting it to the authorities, they sent it here? I don't know if he's trying to persuade me out of goodwill or…"
"This is a show of force!" "There must be a pair of eyes staring at me from behind. They can't see me doing well." If I find out, hmph!"
Those who came to the Wang family came forward." Grandma, we can't let this matter go just like that. We have to investigate it to the end! These servants had always been cautious in their actions, so those who knew about these things were none other than those people. It's fine if you only want to do bad things in our residence. If someone outside gets it, it's terrible!”If that really happened, the couple would be the first to suffer. If anything happened, they would definitely become scapegoats.
Sister Phoenix sat back on the brick bed." So what if it's taken outside? Who is our family? My uncle became the military governor of the capital camp, who doesn't give us face? I was just about to find out who was behind this.”
Those who came to the Wang family racked their brains to think about who had nothing to do and did such a shameful thing as giving birth to a son without an asshole?
"Grandma?" She suddenly thought of someone and whispered,"Could it be her?" He extended his finger and pointed at the east courtyard.
Sister Feng suddenly stood up. Could it be Eldest Mistress? She gripped her handkerchief tightly and frowned.
Ping 'er couldn't stand the instigation of the Wang family." Grandma, we can't guess without evidence." It's not that this servant is speaking ill of the master behind his back, but the Eldest Mistress's character does not seem to be able to do such a delicate thing. Just look at Wang Shan Bao's family and Old Woman Fei.”
"If it's really them, then it's easy."”A look of contempt appeared on his face.
Ping 'er coldly glanced at the Wang family, and those who came to the Wang family did not dare to say anything more.
Sister Feng muttered to herself," This can only be a thief. Since he wanted to know the inside story, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and it wouldn't be good for Rong Mansion.”After thinking about it, a person appeared in his mind. Other than him, he could not think of a second person.
She said calmly," This matter ends here. All of you, keep it to yourselves. Don't say a word!" Wang 'er's wife, go back and find out what went wrong. I must find those traitors and skin them alive!”
Lai Wang's wife quickly agreed." This servant will go now."”He lowered his hands and waited for Phoenix Sister's instructions.
Sister Phoenix waved her hand." Go ahead!"
Lai Wang's wife felt as if she had been pardoned and hurriedly lifted the curtain to leave. He did not dare to stay for even a moment.
Knowing that she had walked far away, Sister Phoenix asked in a deep voice,"Ping 'er, did Second Master really go to the East Mansion to drink? Didn't he come back halfway? Or did he see the servant in front of him?”
Ping 'er was a meticulous person. When she heard Sister Phoenix's question, she roughly knew what was going on." Grandma, are you suspicious?”The dead Qiu 'er was pregnant with the Second Master's child. It was impossible for the Second Master not to resent her. He deliberately let Grandma see these things. Firstly, he wanted to vent his dissatisfaction. Secondly, even if he had to face them, he could push it away completely and not cause any awkwardness. Second Master did not have the stubbornness to go against Grandma. In that case, it was 100% Second Master's doing.
"We can't hide what we've done from him!" Sister Feng sneered. I thought he was useless, but I didn't expect him to use such a move. I underestimated him!”
"Grandma, it seems like Second Master doesn't want to make a big deal out of it." Ping 'er said worriedly.”
"Him?" "He has to have the guts!" said Sister Feng disdainfully. If you sue me, can he escape? The bigger the fuss, the better!"
"Anyway, it's between the two of you. I won't get involved."”
Sister Feng sized her up." You still dared to do that just now. Tomorrow, I'll ask Second Master to give you face. I'll make you a concubine in the name of justice. How about that?"”
There was no need for Ping 'er to think about it. Not a single word of what she said was true. Back then, Qiu 'er and Yan' er believed her words, which was why one of them died and the other was sold. If Liu 'er had not died of illness, she probably would not have been able to escape.
"Don't drag me into it! Second Master was only doing this out of anger.”
Sister Feng knew that it was Jia Lian's doing, and the stone in her heart was finally lifted. She sneered,"What's there to be angry about? Look at what I don't know about what he's doing outside? Be careful, I will also expose him. Let's not talk about each other!”
"Grandma, why don't we have a good talk with Second Master and untie the knot in our hearts?" Ping 'er advised. Moreover, Second Master was a man after all. Perhaps it would be too embarrassing. As long as Grandma gave in first, this matter would be over. Otherwise, there would always be a thorn in his heart that might come out again one day.”
"I still have a thorn in my heart!" It's his turn to admit defeat!"
Ping 'er wanted to persuade him again, but she wisely kept her mouth shut.
"Do you think your Second Master is fighting for Qiu 'er?" Feng Jie explained with a smile. If you wanted to fight, you would have fought with me! Now, he's doing this secretly because he's jealous of the money in our hands! He was a man who ate wine and visited brothels every day. When had he ever thought of buying a silver property?”
Ping 'er smiled." With our Second Master's temper, he still needs to find the money in the pot to spend. When he heard that Grandma had this ladder, he was still worried about spending it.”
"You've thought it through too?" Sister Feng laughed. If I give in and take the silver we've painstakingly accumulated, and send seven or eight delicate concubines home tomorrow, won't you regret it to death?”
Ping Er snorted. "Even if he brings back a hundred, it has nothing to do with me.”
The master and servant were chatting and laughing when Jia Lian came in. He was dressed in a round neck green robe and a soft towel on his head. He could be considered dignified.
When he saw that Sister Feng was at home, his face immediately broke into a smile. He sat beside her and held her waist.
Sister Phoenix didn't hide. She sneered,"Aren't you going to Big Brother's place to drink?" How could you bear to come back?"
Jia Lian smelled the fragrance on Sister Feng's body." It's long gone!" I was fine at first, but I didn't know where Brother Zhen was when I was halfway through. Brother Rong was drunk too. Feng Ziying and the others said they were going to ride horses and shoot arrows outside the city. I came back to get some money before going.”
"Then you should go to the accounts outside to collect the money, so as not to waste your time."”
Jia Lian hooked her chin and Sister Feng slapped his hand away. She spat,"You go over there!"
Jia Lian whispered into her ear," Just take out one or two hundred taels of silver from your pocket. When Wu Xindeng has the money, he'll definitely return it to you!"”
"Where did I get my body from?" Sister Feng sneered.”
Jia Lian stood up and took a sip of tea." Don't think that I don't know. You took the silver at home and gave it out for interest. You earned a lot. Moreover, I'm only borrowing it for a while. It's not like I'm not returning it.”
When Sister Phoenix heard this, she was immediately furious." Do I need to take interest from your family's silver? Our Wang family's underground raiding is enough for you to eat for a lifetime! If you want to make money, take out your own silver! Who's stopping you?"
Jia Lian smiled and said,"If you don't want to give it, then say it. Isn't it interesting to say this?" I advise you not to go overboard."
These words were like adding fuel to the fire. Sister Phoenix stood up immediately." You finally said it! Blame me for going overboard? Why don't you look in the mirror? Am I too much or are you too much? I was worried to death at home, serving the old and the young. Not only did I not do well, but I was also complained about everywhere. It's fine if you don't sympathize with me, but you still say such sarcastic words. Now you know, where did I go too far?”When she talked about the sad part, tears fell like rain.
Jia Lian softened after a few words and threw a handkerchief over." Alright, who are you crying for in the house? I know you're worried! Didn't you earn it yourself? If you don't want to be blamed, you don't have to quit. There are so many people in the house, why are you afraid that no one will take care of you?”
Sister Phoenix stopped crying and sneered." I'm not dead yet. Who are they? Or perhaps, you should just divorce me and marry someone else? Or you can help Ping 'er."
"Look at you," Jia Lian said with a smile. Maybe one day, I'll really do it. You'll regret it!"
Sister Phoenix had already suppressed too much anger in her heart. She immediately scolded,"Then divorce me now! Still pretending?"
Jia Lian was afraid of Sister Phoenix and quickly got up."I can't be bothered with you!" He was about to lift the curtain and leave.
Who knew that Sister Feng was still in a fit of anger. She took out the stack of black materials and threw it at Jia Lian."What is this? Are you threatening me? Let me tell you, I don't know this!”
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment." What's wrong with you?”He picked up two of them and looked at them.
It didn't matter if he didn't look, but when he did, his heart tightened. He clenched his hand tightly and asked,"Tell me, is Qiu 'er really pregnant?”
"You're still asking me?" Sister Feng said firmly, feeling guilty. Don't you know?"
Jia Lian picked them up and looked at them one by one. He was so angry that he could only tremble." What a good thing you did! What you did!" He pointed at her and scolded her.
Sister Phoenix sneered." I did it. So what? Just sue me!"
Jia Lian tore the paper in his hand and sat back in his chair." Don't push me too far!”
When Sister Phoenix saw him tear the thing, she said mockingly,"What? Do you know that you're wrong?"
"Give me a thousand taels of silver, and I'll pretend this doesn't exist."”
Sister Phoenix snorted coldly." Don't even think about it!”
Ping 'er looked at Jia Lian in shock. She thought that Second Master would seek justice for Qiu' er and her son.
At this moment, Ping 'er's heart died.
At this moment, Sister Phoenix was only left with contempt.
"Your Wang Clan is powerful and wealthy," Jia Lian said with a smile. However, as long as I tell these things to the ancestor, guess what will happen? Would you still be so powerful now? At this point, none of us should fall out with each other and live!”
Sister Phoenix wiped her tears." What do you mean?”
"Sometimes your heart is too vicious," Jia Lian said coldly. I know what you've done. You're just worried about your face. As long as you give me a share of the silver, not only will I not hold it against you, I will even help you cover it up. The key is that in the future, you don't have to care about me, and I won't care about you. It's also your ability to cause trouble to the heavens!”
Sister Phoenix was stunned." What do you mean?”Her heart sank.
"Nothing." "Consider it justice for Qiu 'er," Jia Lian said.”
Ping 'er didn't say anything. If this could be considered fair, Qiu' er should just die.
The room was silent for a long time.
Sister Feng stood up and went to the brocade box to count a few silver notes." This is a thousand taels."”
Jia Lian took the silver notes, his face beaming with joy." If we had done this earlier, why would we have made such a fuss?”He kept the silver notes in his bosom, lifted the curtain, and strode out.
Sister Phoenix was in a daze.
Ping 'er wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to say it.
Sister Phoenix flipped her hair behind her ear." Ping Er, help me wash up. From today onwards, I'll be like Eldest Sister-in-law!"”
