The daily life of a concubine's daughter
Chapter 71: Crushing bones and ashes
That night, as Shi Yao had expected, Le An Ning stirred up a hornet's nest in the Duke's Mansion.
Those who once hated Shi Yao now hated Le An Ning, and now hating Shi Yao became a secondary thing.
?
"How dare this bitch Le slander Zhuzhu's reputation like this! She deserves to die without a burial place!"
Lady Zheng, the wife of the Duke, was so angry that she broke her nails.
Nanny Jin carefully trimmed her master's nails while giving her kind advice: "Anger is harmful to your health. You still need to take care of the Second Master and the Eighth Master's daughter. Madam, take care of yourself and don't get angry with such a scoundrel. When you are free, I will teach Second Madam."
"I provided her with good food and drink, and helped her family, but she betrayed me!" Zheng said, her eyes were red, she couldn't help but wiped her tears, and gritted her teeth and said, "Zhuzhu has been ill for a long time. After she fell ill, she didn't even step into the door of Tangxi Courtyard. How did I offend her?
I could still bear it if she threw dirty water on me, but now I want to chop her into pieces if she throws dirty water on Zhuzhu!"
Nanny Jin took the razor and slowly trimmed her nails, not daring to say anything.
Zheng's face was haggard, and she cried, "My two daughters-in-law seemed good at first, pretending to be decent people. But these days, they are becoming even more unwilling to pretend. I am so busy that I have to work hard. It would be fine if they didn't lend a hand, but they are rushing to stir up trouble and are about to cause a murder lawsuit! Does this family still look like a family? It's my fault for not seeing through their evil hearts."
How should Nanny Jin respond to this?
Other families have conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the two daughters-in-law in the eldest house are all enemies with their husbands.
After a while, she picked up a weak persimmon and said, "To be honest, it's not like this in our house. Ever since the second young lady came into the house, everyone seems to be possessed by evil spirits. The men have bad luck one after another, and the ladies seem to be possessed by demons.
It is better to believe in the existence of supernatural things than to believe in their non-existence. If my wife has some free time, she might as well ask a Taoist priest or a monk to perform a ritual.
There is no need to invite them to come, as this would make people outside laugh at them. It is better to spend more money and have them do it in the temple, so that it can be concealed from others. If it is useful, then we will be very lucky. "
Zheng thought for a while and nodded, "It's just a matter of a few hundred taels of silver. Even if it's all gone down the drain, it's still a peace of mind. I'll find you a reason and you can go out and do it. As for Shi Yao, find her a family in the spring of next year and marry her off early. Let her cause trouble to other families."
?
When the lady heard the news, she felt sorry for both her granddaughter and grandson. She was so angry that she cried in the middle of the night and said that Le An Ning had caused trouble and she wanted to divorce Le.
This time, she and Zheng stood on the same front.
The old Duke was never good at coaxing people. He just stayed with her in silence until she had cried and complained enough. Then he patted her hands, went out and told Aunt Tang to pass orders to all the courtyards to block the news and not to spread it anymore, especially not to let it reach the ears of Shi Mingzhu who was recuperating.
If anyone dares to tell Shi Mingzhu these nonsense, there is no need to report to him. Just hand him over to the first wife and beat him to death.
Nanny Tang trembled all over and agreed tremblingly.
The old couple lay down again and slept restlessly the whole night.
?
The other masters had roughly the same reaction when they heard the news.
He was just waiting for Shi Mingwei and his wife to recover so that he could persuade Shi Mingwei to divorce his wife.
Only Fu Nanjun's expression kept changing.
?
Shi Yao slept soundly. When she woke up early in the morning, except for a little dizziness in her head from drinking, she exuded the vigor of youth.
When Aunt Liu Hua saw her, she felt as if she had returned to youth and looked a few years younger.
After washing up, Shi Yaolei went to Ganlu Hall to check in and pay her respects, and to cultivate the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren with the lady and the old duke.
She came at the usual time today, but unexpectedly, the old lady and the old duke had not yet stood up, and half of the people who came to pay their respects were missing.
After waiting for a cup of tea, everyone finally arrived. They all looked bad, and Zheng's eyes were black and blue, as if she had been punched twice.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Many things are difficult to deal with at the end of the year and have to be done after the New Year.
Zheng thought to herself, that evil woman got away with it!
However, you can escape the first day, but you cannot escape the fifteenth.
She will definitely divorce this daughter-in-law.
If Shi Mingwei was greedy for beauty, or felt sorry for her two grandsons who had no mother, she would risk her old reputation and write the divorce letter herself!
The way everyone looked at Shi Yao was not right, and there was something evil in it.
Shi Yao hid in the lady's arms, feeling uneasy.
What?
In her previous life, she neither instructed Shi Mingwei to harm the three members of the Le family, mother and son, nor did Shi Mingwei harm the three members of the Le family for her.
Among so many looks, the third master's look was the most disgusted, and he looked at Shi Yao as if she were a piece of shit.
Shi Yao was so angry that she wanted to jump up and kick him!
The old Duke drank half a cup of tea and remained silent for half a cup of tea before he spoke: "There have been many troubles in the mansion recently. I think it is related to Xin Niang's ghost tricks. She was beaten to death and has a lot of resentment. Third brother, you go to a few Taoist temples and find someone to perform a serious ritual to suppress Xin Niang's evil spirit and resentment."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone let out a breath slowly, looked at Shi Yao again, and felt that Shi Yao was not so hateful anymore.
That's right. Shi Yao was a little girl standing alive in front of them, but the dead Nanny Xin was more likely to come to the Duke's Mansion. What's more, Nanny Xin was a witch and was more related to evil.
However, Shi Yao was indeed unlucky, otherwise Le An Ning would not have gone crazy on her birthday.
Shi Jianan let out a breath of foul air. It was good that it was Xin Niang who was haunted. It was better than him giving birth to an unlucky thing. He stood up quickly, took two steps forward, bowed and said, "My son will definitely complete this task."
The government office where Shi Jianan works was sealed yesterday, and his annual leave starts today. He is the most suitable person to run errands - he is an old errand runner.
The old Duke called Shi Mingzhen again: "Mingzhen, your second sister received a lot of gifts yesterday. You should give some away to do good deeds for the family. You can escort her out today or tomorrow when you are free. Don't make any mistakes this time, otherwise I will hold you responsible."
Shi Mingzhen had no choice but to stand up and bow: "I will obey grandfather's orders. I will protect my second sister."
Shi Yao thought that Shi Mingzhen had always been a handyman, and now she was the "handyman".
She gave him a big, bright smile: "Third brother, are you free today?"
Shi Mingzhen curled the corners of his mouth and replied with a helpless smile: "Let's do it today." Finish the job early and get rid of this little devil early.
Tao Ziyi's eyes flickered and she was eager to try.
Shi Yao clapped her hands and smiled, "Great!" She winked at Tao Ziyi, "Does Third Sister-in-law have time to go out with us?"
Shi Mingzhen opened her mouth to find an excuse to refuse, but Tao Ziyi had already received Shi Yao's hint and hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, since your third brother is accompanying you, there is no reason for me, your sister-in-law, to be lazy."
Shi Mingzhen could only smile bitterly.
The old Duke stood up and said, "Third brother, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Shi Jianan hurriedly followed his father.
Arriving at the study in the front yard, the old Duke said sternly, "Where is Xin Niang's body buried? Dig it out and grind it into ashes!"
