The daily life of a concubine's daughter
Chapter 17 Who did it?
Shi Mingzhu woke up just in time. Shi Yao didn't believe that she had just woken up. There was no such coincidence.
Anyway, she won't take the blame for Keshi Mingzhu's shit. She will put the blame on whoever did it!
Shi Mingzhu was shocked. She knew that the doll must have been stabbed by Nanny Xin. She couldn't help but secretly blame Nanny Xin for being careless.
The lady's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she shouted angrily, "Bring it here for me to see! I want to see who is behind these shady tricks, cursing and alienating the flesh and blood of our Shi family!"
The old woman who picked up the doll was illiterate. Upon hearing this, she hurriedly presented the doll to her.
The rag doll was covered with needles, like a hedgehog, and the old woman had no idea where to start, so she just held up a bunch of the doll's braids with two fingers.
As she carried it all the way over, the women in front and behind her stepped back and exclaimed, while at the same time they could clearly see the words on the doll.
"Shi Yao..." Wang Fan read out these two words with a pale face.
Shi Yao looked at her and asked with a smile, "What does Sixth Sister-in-law want me to do?"
Wang Fan pointed at the puppet, her fingers trembling: "Second sister, your name is on the puppet!"
When the lady saw who the villain was, she got goose bumps all over her body and her face became even uglier.
Her confidant, Aunt Tang, pulled out the needle, cut it open with scissors, took out a piece of paper, unfolded it, and handed it to the old lady: "Please take a look, old lady, it is indeed the birth date of the second young lady."
The lady was so angry that she almost fainted. She slammed the table and asked angrily, "Who did it? Who did it?"
Shi Yao covered her face and sobbed, "So it was my birth date! I believe in my elder sister's character. She was brought up by my grandmother, uncle and mother. There is absolutely no problem with her character. I don't know who was so evil that deliberately framed my elder sister and hid under her bed, causing me to get seriously ill and my elder sister to get seriously ill as well.
It would be fine if we found out, and stopped the loss in time, but it would cause a rift between us sisters, and my elder sister would be accused of cursing my younger sister. If we didn’t find out, I’m afraid… I’m afraid that both my elder sister and I would die!”
She turned her head and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, choking with sobs. She looked extremely aggrieved and extremely sad and angry.
When she turned her head, the pinch marks on her neck were revealed.
The fifteen-year-old girl had skin so delicate that it seemed as if it could be blown away by a baby's. Nanny Xin hated her, so she did not hold back and left several clear finger marks on her jade-white neck. It was shocking at first glance.
The lady's heart softened a little and she felt deeply ashamed.
All of this was caused by the villain. How could she have been so blinded by greed that she blamed Zhuzhu's illness and abnormality on herself?
Originally he wanted to bring Yao girl back to Beijing to enjoy a good life, but he didn't expect that from the moment Yao girl stepped into the Duke's Mansion, she had no peace for a moment and even fell seriously ill.
This is not to bring her here to enjoy happiness, it is clearly to bring her here to suffer.
She couldn't help but reach out and hold Shi Yao in her arms.
Shi Yao leaned on her shoulder and cried, afraid that she would not be able to cry out, so she could only bury her face.
Alas, life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills.
After hearing Shi Yao's words, Shi Mingzhu almost fainted again.
This little devil is hypocritical, sharp-tongued, and knows how to confuse right and wrong. She is also good at acting.
But the matter had already reached the old lady, and it was too late for her to cover up for Nanny Xin.
But when she saw how intimate the lady and Shi Yao were, she felt sad again.
The Madam Dowager owed Aunt Ji two big favors. This was the case in her previous life. She was soft-hearted towards Shi Yao again and again, until Shi Yao climbed into the bed of the Fifth Prince Zhou Xu. Only then did she become truly disappointed with Shi Yao and became cruel to her.
The old lady always said that she loved her the most, so how could she forget her own words and love Shi Yao too?
Every time Shi Yao made a mistake, the old lady would lift her up high and then put her down gently, only punishing those around Shi Yao, and she would feel heartbroken.
What she wants is unique pampering and partiality without any impurities.
Who is Shi Yao?
Why should I compete with an ordinary time-traveling girl and a lowly concubine's daughter who grew up in the countryside?
Nanny Xin was already frightened out of her wits, shaking like a sieve, and constantly looking at Shi Mingzhu and the Duke's wife for help.
But what can Shi Mingzhu do?
You can only turn your head inward.
The Duke's wife was so disappointed with Nanny that she wanted to tear Nanny Xin apart.
How dare such a filthy and evil thing hide under her daughter's bed?
You shouldn't hide it, and if you don't hide it well, someone will find it.
Nanny Xin's eyes were dim and her whole body was like an eggplant hit by frost, she collapsed to the ground.
The lady looked around with an oppressive look and sneered, "Since no one has admitted it, let's start with Xin Niang. Tie up everyone in Lanpei Courtyard and beat them one by one. Someone will eventually tell the truth."
Instantly, the servants of Lanpei Courtyard all knelt down and said, "It's not us. Please, old lady, please look into it!"
Nanny Xin was horrified and wanted to surrender herself, but she was afraid that she would be beaten to death by the furious lady, so she could only delay it for a while.
Everyone was silent.
Anyone who knows a little bit about observing people's expressions and words will know who the culprit is.
The Duke's wife opened her mouth to plead: "Old lady, Zhuzhu is still sick..."
"Aunt is right!" Shi Yao interrupted, "Sister is still ill, but we must not let the culprit off. We must find out who is behind this as soon as possible, lest she be emboldened and cause even greater trouble."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
They know what the bigger disaster is.
Witchcraft, sorcery... If the censor finds evidence of them, it could lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan!
By then, who would believe that this rag doll was made by a slave?
Who would believe that the birth date and horoscope of Shi Yao, an insignificant concubine, were sewn inside the doll?
Shi Yao glanced at Nanny Xin and kindly advised, "Whoever it is, please come out and confess. The other day, Songlan spat into my medicine. When my sister-in-law interrogated her, her and Shannai's tongues were taken away by a cat. They refused to tell the truth, which scared my aunt so much that she investigated everywhere, fearing that someone had poisoned them.
Finally, the truth came out. Songlan was beaten with ten boards. I don't know if he is still alive. Shannai knew about it but didn't report it. He was stripped of his pants in public and was beaten with five boards. His buttocks were bruised. If you surrender earlier, the old lady will worry less and you may still be able to save your life. "
The wife of the Duke closed her eyes. What had this girl grown up on? She was so eloquent that she took the opportunity to tell her what happened that day. All her efforts were in vain.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the lady felt even more pity for Shi Yao and said, "Yao girl, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
She felt ashamed that she had not visited Shi Yao in the past few days.
This girl is really pitiful.
When I lived in Jinling, I had a concubine who said some caring things to me. But after I moved to the capital, my whole house was filled with relatives, but not a single caring one was left.
Shi Yao picked up her handkerchief and wiped her red eyes, saying pitifully, "Being the granddaughter of the old lady is a blessing, why bother? Besides, the eldest sister-in-law came to stop me in time that day. Apart from being frightened and nauseated, it didn't cause any trouble. The old lady can rest assured."
The lady then held her hand.
Among the servants kneeling on the ground, Shi Mingzhu's two senior servants were afraid that they would be found out. They were reminded of Shannai's previous experience and pointed at Nanny Xin and shouted:
"Old lady, please understand. It was Nanny Xin who made this doll. She would take it out from time to time to stab people with it. We servants only saw her stab people with it, but we didn't know that she was cursing the second young lady!"
