Attunement into fine rules
Chapter 29
"Wei Hu, go catch an animal." Wei Yuan ordered immediately.
For the convenience of Mrs. Wei, and for the young masters and ladies to have snacks and light meals here from time to time, the main courtyard itself has a small kitchen, and some live poultry are kept in cages in it.
Wei Hu responded, and quickly ran out to catch a quacking goose with a red top and white feathers, looking very energetic.
Wei Lang walked over, squeezed the goose's hard beak open with one hand, and held the wine jug with the other hand, stuffed the spout into the goose's beak and poured it in.
I didn't pour much, about half the amount of the wine cup, so I took the wine pot away.
Immediately after Wei Hu let go of the goose, he saw that it became hoarse, rolled its eyes and thumped back and forth on the ground a few times, black blood flowed from its mouth, and soon died stiffly in full view of everyone.
Sure enough, as Wei Yuan said, the wine contained a poison that sealed the throat with blood!
On this family reunion banquet, someone dared to poison! !And the target of the poisoning was actually Governor Wei! ! !
Wei Yuan looked at Mrs. Wei, and saw that she had a shocked expression on her face at this time, and her hands were tightly grasping the armrest of the mahogany chair. Show how abnormal she is.
At this time, Mrs. Wei quickly glanced at Governor Wei beside him, and saw that Governor Wei's face was livid and his lips were tightly pressed. She had been with him for 20 years, and knew that he was very angry and was about to explode.
Her mind was spinning fast, and it was obvious that things had been revealed, and she was reversed by Wei Yuan, a little beast!
No, no, she can't fold here! !
For the crime of killing her husband, if she is convicted of killing her, she will die. Everything she has planned and planned for half her life will come to naught, and Hong'er's future future will also be ruined! ! !
"Wanqing, how could you do such a thing?!" Mrs. Wei stretched out her right hand, suddenly pointed at the aunt who was standing beside her, and made a slightly sharp accusation, "How dare you poison?!"
The aunt's face was so pale that she had no color, and she fell to her knees on the ground with a plop towards Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei stood up on the armchair, still pointing at her aunt with one hand, showing a heartbroken expression: "Li'er died young, I know you have always held a grudge against Yuan'er, but Yuan'er was ignorant at that time, this matter It was a complete accident, and he didn't do it on purpose! How could you just get into a dead end like this?!"
"If the master drank this glass of wine, Yuan'er would certainly be charged with patricide, how would we survive as orphans and widows?!"
"Master usually treats you well, how, how can you be so cruel!!"
"You only care about Li'er who has gone away, and you don't think about Gui'er. She will get married in a year or two. If you do such a thing, what should she do!!!"
There was still a bit of struggle and reluctance in Auntie’s eyes before, but when Mrs. Wei mentioned Wei Gui, the struggle and reluctance in her eyes disappeared, and she lowered her eyes to look at the thin square brick floor, as if she had lost her life. puppets.
After Mrs. Wei accused Auntie, she involuntarily looked at Wei Yuan, but saw him sitting in a wheelchair with a serious expression, without saying a word.
Finally a little relieved.
She is very secretive, this little beast has acquired a whole body of medical skills outside, and medicine and poison have never been separated since ancient times... Even if he saw through the poison in the wine, he would guess that he did it himself, but no one proved it. With his aunt as the scapegoat, he couldn't do anything to himself.
Standing beside Wei Yuan, Wei Lang saw a faint smile on the profile of the lord Yubai.
I couldn't help but smiled a little, it was indeed a good show in front of me.
After all, Wei Inspector is old and has to ascend to a high position in the officialdom. Although he usually doesn't care about the affairs of the backyard, he is definitely not a person who faints when things happen.
Seeing that someone was going to poison him, and the goose died in such a miserable state, Governor Wei was of course furious, but he would not lose his mind and only listen to one side's words, and asked his aunt with a livid face, "Wanqing, madam Is it true? Is it really your poison?!"
Except for my aunt, the one with the ugliest face among the people present was Wei Gui.
It happened that she had been ill before, and she was sitting there precariously, and when she heard her father questioning her aunt, she looked more and more like a flower fluttering in the wind and rain and might fall off at any time.
No, no... Auntie has always been very timid, she repeatedly persuaded herself to let go of her hatred and give in to Wei Yuan, how could she suddenly want to avenge Li'er, even murdering her father to blame Wei Yuan?
Why did the mother accuse the aunt of poisoning?
Something must have gone wrong, it must be!
The auntie slowly raised her head to look at Governor Wei, her beautiful eyes were filled with withered ashes, like a deep well that had dried up.
When she was young and ignorant, when she was brought into the mansion as a good concubine, she had passionately admired Governor Wei.
Wei Inspector was not an Inspector in that year, and the talented and handsome Xianlang who was successful at a young age could satisfy the dreams of all boudoir daughters.
Although it is a concubine's room, but as his woman, she thought that she would be able to spend her life in peace without worrying about food and clothing.
The mistress was Zhang Maoniang at that time, and because he hadn't been out for three years, Wei Cishi was forced by the elders in the family, so he carried her and his second aunt through the house one after another.
Zhang Maoniang has an arrogant temperament, and is dissatisfied with the matter of bringing a concubine into the house. She often tells her and the second aunt that her nose is not her nose and her eyes are not eyes. The mansion is just a decoration, never getting close to Governor Wei.
At that time, she hated Zhang Maoniang very much in her heart, and sincerely felt that Zhang Jingniang was amiable and approachable.
Thinking about it now, after she entered the door, Zhang Maoniang didn't do anything to her other than giving her some anger, and she never really treated her harshly or hurt her.
On the contrary, Zhang Jingniang, who usually eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha's name, and looks at the old and the young, has hurt her Li'er, and now she is going to drive her to a dead end.
"Yes, it's a concubine." The auntie looked at Governor Wei and heard her own numb voice.
"No, auntie, it's not!" Wei Gui staggered up from the chair, walked up to the auntie, and burst into tears, "How could auntie do such a thing? No way!"
"Quickly tell your father clearly, you didn't do it, you didn't do it!"
The aunt turned her face slightly to the side, neither looking at Wei Gui nor making a sound.
This is her fate, and she has accepted her fate ever since Li'er died.
As long as the eldest lady can get married smoothly and smoothly in the future, she will not ask for anything.
Although Wei Gui said that he was young and inexperienced and easy to be used by others, but he was not stupid.
She was hinted by Mrs. Wei to find fault with Wei Yuan, and swam in the lotus pond until night, but it was the auntie who came to find her and took her home.
At that time, she finally understood the real difference between intimacy and distance.
Due to etiquette and rules, although she called Mrs. Wei her mother and her aunt her aunt, only her biological one would love her and love her when the critical moment came.
With tears in his eyes, Wei Gui looked at Wei Yuan beside him.
I saw him wearing a simple lake blue silk gown, the corners of the clothes and the collar of the leader were embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns, the exposed neck and fingers were clean and unadorned, and the frail man sat on the wheelbarrow and watched coldly , the snow-like face was calm and calm, even with a bit of laziness.
Except for that unearthly appearance, Wei Yuan at first glance looks like just a disabled, pampered young man.
But Wei Gui has experienced it himself, and clearly knows how treacherous and unfathomable this person's thoughts and methods are!
After the previous night swimming, she fell ill, and she was really afraid of him. Originally, she planned to keep him at a respectful distance, and she didn't even dare to look at him at the banquet any more.
But Wei Yuan saw through the poisoned wine on the spot. If there is someone who knows the real murderer and has the ability to rescue Auntie, then this person must be Wei Yuan!
Wei Gui suddenly turned around and knelt down, walked to Wei Yuan's wheelchair, kowtowed and cried: "Second brother, second brother, please forgive my sister for being ignorant and offending you, please help my aunt!"
Wei Yuan looked down at Wei Gui, whose face was full of tears, and said lightly: "Big sister, get up, I can't save your aunt."
When the auntie heard Wei Yuan's voice, she turned her face to look at him, only to see him continue to say: "If a person wants to be saved, he must first save himself. She herself admitted the poisoning, how do you want me to save?"
Hearing Wei Yuan's words, the auntie's dry eyes, which were as dry as ashes, suddenly burst into a layer of tears.
Ever since the Second Young Master returned to the mansion this time, my aunt could see clearly that he had never suffered from Mrs. Wei, and Mrs. Wei had never had anything to do with him.
If it is the Second Young Master, if the Second Young Master is willing to take action against Madam...
Wei Yuan raised his chin to his aunt and asked, "Are you willing?"
The simple four words sounded like a clear chime falling in the spring breeze, but it pierced through the heart of my aunt like a sharp arrow in an instant.
She still has the eldest lady, there is still hope in this world, if she can survive, who really wants to die?
"The concubine is not reconciled, of course not!" The auntie burst into tears, exhausting all her life's courage, and screamed, "If I was reconciled, I wouldn't be in the pile of firewood distributed to the second son a few days ago, You stole that reminder note!"
"The concubine originally thought that it was the Second Young Master that Madam wanted to poison, but she didn't expect it to be the master!!"
The auntie looked excited, and pointed to Madam Wei: "The pot of poisonous wine was brought by Madam Mulian by Madam's side!!!"
Being pointed at by the auntie, Madam Wei's pupils shrank suddenly, and she was shocked in her heart. She never thought that the auntie, who had always been cowardly and allowed her to manipulate like a clay figurine, would dare to turn the tables on the spot at this moment!
You must know that when Wei Li died, my aunt was suspicious in her heart as a mother. She only gave a little charity, and threatened Wei Gui with hints. Still running in front of himself to set the rules in the morning and evening, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
"Jing Niang, what do you say?" Governor Wei knew that Wei Yuan and Mrs. Wei were not dealing with each other, and seeing that Wei Yuan asked his aunt to identify Mrs. Wei with a single word, reversing the current situation, he couldn't help but secretly marveled.
Leaving aside the facts, it's a pity that his bad legs are not good enough to walk. If such a means of turning clouds and rain can be used in the court...
The anger in my heart gradually extinguished a lot.
Mrs. Wei saw Governor Wei's stern expression, and immediately knew that he had no intention of protecting her.
Except for Zhang Maoniang, he has always treated his wives and concubines like this.
After Zhang Maoniang's death, he never regarded himself as a real wife, but a handy tool for managing the backyard of the house.
Daughter's family, who doesn't envy Zhang Maoniang?Who doesn't want to live like Zhang Maoniang?
However, even if she finally sat in Zhang Maoniang's position, she would always be cautious in her life, and she would not be able to do Zhang Maoniang's wanton arrogance.
Just because a tool is a tool, it can be replaced at any time.
If you do something incomplete, and one day it will not work in his eyes, there will naturally be someone else to replace it.
"My lord, today's family banquet is organized by my concubine. If something like this happens, I really can't escape the blame. If you want to beat, punish or kill, it's up to you!" Mrs. Wei knelt down in front of Governor Wei and held her hand. Rubbing the corner of his clothes, he cried, "Maybe I blamed Wan Qing by mistake in a moment of impatience, causing her to target my concubine like this, but my concubine was wronged, I really dare not take this serious crime of murder!"
As soon as she knelt, Aunt Mulian and Wei Hong beside her also quickly knelt down.
Seeing her acting like this, Inspector Wei thought to herself that Jing Niang would never bear to step on an ant, and she eats fast and recites Buddha all day long, so she really doesn't seem like a person who can do such a bold thing.
"Mulian, Mulian!" Seeing that Governor Wei's expression was loose, Madam Wei hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and turned her face to look at Aunt Mulian who was kneeling beside her, "Wan Qing said that you handed her the jug of wine. what happened?"
Sister Mulian looked at Mrs. Wei in disbelief, her body trembling like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
"Don't be afraid, you have been with me for so many years, and the master has always been discerning, and will definitely make decisions for you." Mrs. Wei said warmly to Sister Mulian.
Sister Mulian's fingers subconsciously grasped the fabric of the knee tightly, and the trembling gradually stopped.
...to be in charge of her.
Suddenly, I remembered that in Zhang's house, in the simple courtyard, the girl with simple clothes had bright eyes and said to her——
"Mulian, I want to be sister Maoniang's concubine. Only in this way can we go to that rich place that we couldn't go to before."
"We are called masters and servants on the surface, but we love sisters in private. Whatever happens to you in the future, I will definitely be the master for you."
She was wearing poor-quality coarse cloth clothes at that time, her split yellow hair was tied up with strips of rags, her knees and shoulders and other parts that were prone to wear and tear were patched, her hands were chapped all the year round, and she nodded to Zhang Jingniang full of longing and admiration.
Miss Jingniang is the smartest woman she has ever seen, she is the light that pulled her out of the mud, following Miss Jingniang, there must be nothing wrong.
So many years, so many years.
"The poison was indeed poured into the wine by the servant girl." Mu Lian said slowly, "It's not because she wanted to murder the master, but because she wanted to find a chance to pour it on the second young master."
"Madam didn't know about it, so the poisoned wine was almost presented to the master by mistake."
The madam just speaks out her ideas, from dispensing the medicine to poisoning, she is indeed the one who did it, as long as she takes the charge, the madam is innocent, and she is not afraid of being thoroughly investigated by the master.
Although my wife often says that I am confused, but this way of explaining, it will work if I think about it.
"Mulian, you, why did you do this?!" Madam Wei put her hands on her chest, her expression was fragile, as if she would fall down at any moment, "I, I thought you were a caring and sensible person!"
"Since the second son entered the mansion, he has been in trouble with his wife everywhere, disrespectful and filial!" Mu Lian's voice suddenly amplified, rumbling in everyone's ears, "Madam's charity and forgiveness are not considered, but the servant girl really sees it." But eyes!"
"Murdering the little master, the servant girl knows that it is a crime worthy of death. If the servant girl is going, I hope the madam will take care of her in the future!"
After finishing speaking, Sister Mulian took a deep look at Mrs. Wei for the last time, her slightly fat body leaned back, and then with the help of this leaning force, she slammed her head heavily on the hard and cold brick floor, and her blood burst into tears instantly. Splashes of flowers.
Everyone in the hall screamed, Governor Wei frowned slightly and waved his hand, some attendants went over to check, and then reported to Governor Wei: "This old maid has passed away and died."
Madam Wei covered her mouth with her sleeve, her eyes were wide open, as if she was also frightened.
However, the corners of the lips under the sleeves turned up slightly because of the joy of escaping from the sky.
Good Mulian, good girl!
Take all the blame for all the crimes with your life, and give that little beast a name of disrespect and disfilialism before he dies!
You must know that loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of governing the country at that time, even if it seems that the little beast can't be hurt in the slightest now, it can at least leave such a bad impression in the master's heart.
It's a pity that it might not be so easy to train a loyal girl like her in the future.
Even though the little beast is so skillful that even the always cowardly aunt has taken refuge in him, but Mu Lian has taken all the blame and there is no proof of death.
"... let's stop here." Mulian's body was quickly dragged down. Governor Wei glanced at Wei Hong who was still kneeling with his head bowed. He knew that there was no way to pursue the matter, so he closed the case, "Quiet The mother has no way to control her, and she almost caused a catastrophe, so she took back the power to manage the house, and she is forbidden to reflect on herself from now on."
In fact, Governor Wei also vaguely felt that things were not that simple, but as the head of a house, he had to take care of the overall situation in addition to distinguishing between right and wrong.
He has three sons, Wei Yuan is the most favored by him, but currently his legs are not good enough to walk, and he will not be able to claim the title and enter the court.
Wei Muwen is not a martial artist, he looks like he shrinks when he sees people, he is a piece of material that he can't even support.
Only Wei Hong, although he is a bit indulged in pleasure, is relatively balanced in all aspects, with all hands and feet, and a decent appearance and temperament. Before, everyone had agreed that Wei Hong was the only son who could inherit the governor's mansion.
Even if this matter was really ordered by Jing Niang, this is the only way to do it when Mother Mulian touches the ground and dies, and Wei Hong's biological mother cannot be charged in public.
If he is really convicted, even if the matter is covered up with lightning, no one dares to spread it. If Wei Hong will inherit the throne in the future, and the brothers and sisters in the house mention his biological mother, what should we say?
How to convince the public?
At worst, Jingniang will be placed under house arrest in the mansion from now on, and if she is not allowed to be in charge of Zhongfu, let her live the rest of her life with peace of mind.
Mrs. Wei breathed a sigh of relief, although she lost to this little beast again this time, and even lost the right to head the house and Mu Lian, but in the end she only ended up with the name of Nowhere.
There is probably no one in this world who knows the governor of Wei better than her, as long as he saves his life, it may not be impossible to turn things around in the future.
When introducing, she will definitely not make any omissions like today, she must be careful and meticulous, and give this little beast the most fatal blow...
Just as she thought of this, Wei Yuan who was not far away suddenly heard: "This matter cannot stop here."
The voice is clear and shallow, but the tone is firm and unchangeable.
"Oh, does Yuan'er have any opinions?" Governor Wei turned his face sideways, "Let's hear it."
Wei Yuan nodded, and every word was heard by everyone, very clear: "My wife murdered my sister and her unborn child, drowned the three-year-old Fourth Young Master Wei, and now intends to poison my husband. There are many crimes. Unforgivable. Since you have committed these incidents, how can you stop here?!"
Mrs. Wei turned her face slowly, and looked at Wei Yuan with a horrified expression, just like looking at the deepest nightmare in her life.
"No, no!" Mrs. Wei yelled out of fear, "Don't talk nonsense here, I have never done these things myself, never!"
Yes, Zhang Jingniang, don't be afraid, don't panic.
There is no evidence for Mulian's death, and the things that the little animal said have been going on for so long, he can't produce evidence at all!
As if realizing that the yelling just now was a little out of character, Mrs. Wei forced a smile again, knelt on the ground and straightened her hair: "Yuan'er, I know you have always misunderstood your mother, but you can't listen to rumors and slander. Fanguijia was picked up by your mother in person. Take a look at your yard, which brothers and sisters can compare? The money in the usual account, clothing, food, spices and various utensils, but you ask for it with all your heart. Do whatever you want. If possible, mother would really like to take out her heart and liver to show you."
The fingers combing the temple hair trembled subconsciously.
Wei Hu stood by Wei Yuan's side and said loudly, "Who wants to see your black heart and rotten liver? Don't dirty the eyes of grandpas!"
Although the voice was not too loud, Governor Wei still heard it from the side, and said in a solemn voice: "This matter is of great importance, Yuan'er, if you say that, is there anyone to prove it?"
When he heard Wei Yuan say that Mrs. Wei murdered his sister-in-law and the fetus in her womb, his heart shrank suddenly like a thunderbolt struck his head.
If what the evil said is true... Isn't he, hasn't he misidentified snakes and scorpions for so many years? !
However, Governor Wei is a person who is accustomed to rational thinking after all. He quickly realized that since Wei Yuan did not deal with Mrs. Wei, and even his entourage believed that Mrs. Wei was black-hearted, the crimes he said would inevitably be biased. circumstances may not be credible.
After Sister Mulian pleaded guilty, Wei Gui helped up the aunt who had limp legs and feet, and was stunned as she stood beside her.
When she was born, Zhang Maoniang had been dead for almost two years, and to her, it was just a name on a tablet without any impression.
And Li'er... Didn't Wei Yuan push into the lotus pond when he was stupid, but did his mother drown?
It's not too much of a surprise, what Mrs. Tianwei has done these days, especially the accusation that the auntie was poisoned just now, has completely collapsed her image of a loving mother in Wei Gui's mind.
Wei Gui is different from Wei Cishi, she knows Wei Yuan's ability to be almost unpredictable, so she doesn't think it is necessary for Wei Yuan to lie.
Just kidding, what kind of lie does her second brother need to tell?
Even if he really pushed Li'er into the water when he was stupid, and really poisoned Governor Wei, with his ability, there is no need to lie to cover it up!
He can turn her, Wei Gui, into a fish that can't go ashore, and he can naturally turn all the people in the house who dare to disobey him into pigs, sheep, cats and dogs waiting to be slaughtered! !
Not to mention that there is Prince Gong protecting him outside, Wei Yuan wants to completely control this family, and even make her seemingly stern and powerful father a puppet in his hands, it's just as easy as pie! ! !
Wei Gui looked at Wei Yuan, his eyes flickered with light, and his breathing became slightly short of breath.
What is constantly rolling in the chest is admiration, admiration for the unattainable and strong.
Like a mayfly that lives and dies in the morning and evening, it accidentally sees the vicissitudes of life; like a frog in a well suddenly jumps out of the well, looking up at the boundless and vast sky.
This strong man is her second elder brother, who is standing by her side now.
She stretched out her hand, secretly pulled the jade bracelet on the aunt's wrist, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, there is second elder brother here, so you don't have to be afraid of her!"
"If you miss this opportunity and fail to step on her, Li'er will really be wronged!"
Now that the auntie had put everything out there once today, when she heard what her own daughter said, she once again stepped forward to salute with courage: "Master, the servants and concubines are witnesses to the matter of the Fourth Young Master!"
Mrs. Wei raised her eyes and looked at Auntie.
Usually it was the aunt who knelt down to Mrs. Wei, but now it was reversed, the aunt stood in front of Governor Wei, and Mrs. Wei knelt on the ground.
The auntie thought of Wei Li who had passed away, her heart broke for a moment, she pointed at Mrs. Wei and cried: "It's also the concubine who is stupid and doesn't know how to hide, the fourth son is born smart, the master was in the room reciting a Fu from the beginning of Hongmeng, he just At the age of three, he can retell the story after listening to it. The master is overjoyed. From then on, he often brings the fourth young master by his side and teaches him personally. Who would have thought that it would be in the eyes of the madam!"
"Madam felt that the fourth son would hinder the eldest son in the future, so she designed to drown the fourth son, and blamed the second son who was stupid and ignorant at that time!"
Wei Hong heard it, and suddenly stood up from the ground with his hem up, looked at the auntie and said, "Auntie, I know that my mother was in a hurry and wrongly accused you of poisoning you, but you have a grudge against your mother, but you can't talk nonsense like that." !"
"The mother may be responsible for the lax management of the family, but the death of the fourth brother is a major event, how can you blame the mother indiscriminately?!"
"Not gibberish."
A retorting female voice sounded, but it was not the auntie. Everyone's eyes followed the female voice, and saw an unexpected person who could stay out of the situation——
Second aunt.
Second Auntie was wearing a lotus blue spring shirt, with beautiful features. Although she was in her 30s and had three children, she still had a graceful figure.
Among Governor Wei's current one wife and two concubines, Second Aunt is undoubtedly the most beautiful, and Governor Wei likes to go to her room most when he is free.
"Sister Wanqing, you're not talking nonsense." The second aunt continued, "The maid and concubine are also witnesses."
Wei Hong stared at Second Aunt, as if he wanted to stare at her, and gritted his teeth angrily, "Second Aunt, Mother treats you well!"
The second aunt smiled sweetly, without any fear: "Madam has never been stingy when dealing with non-threatening decorations."
"Eldest son, do you know that when you were studying in school when you were young, when you stuttered while reading an article, the third son was already able to recite and write that article?"
"Do you know that in the martial arts arena, not only the servants and teachers let you go, but even your third brother, who is almost four years younger than you, deliberately let you go?"
Hearing the second aunt's question, Wei Hong opened his eyes involuntarily, took half a step back, and lost his previous momentum: "You...you're talking nonsense!"
"The concubine is not talking nonsense. If the third son hadn't always been clumsy to the eldest son, he might have ended up in the end of the fourth son." The second aunt said indifferently, "Since we have talked now, the maid and concubine don't have any scruples anymore. Third Young Master, come over to Auntie."
"Straighten your waist, wipe your face clean, let your father, let everyone take a good look at your real appearance!"
Wei Muyiyan took the wet handkerchief handed over by the sister next to him, got up from the seat while wiping his face, and strode towards the second aunt.
He was still tall and thin, but now his body was no longer stooped, his back was straight and straight.
On the snow-white veil, as Wei Mu wiped it, black and yellow stains were left behind.
In the past, he was crowned as a monkey, and was always scolded by the governor of Wei for his incompetence. The third son, who looked like he was not on the stage, turned out to be a handsome and valiant young man who was far superior to the eldest son in terms of appearance and demeanor!
Most of the boys resembled their mothers, and the second aunt was beautiful and charming, so how could Wei Mu be ugly?
It's just that the bad posture and behavior in the past, coupled with the yellow and black face, are annoying.
The Wei Mu right now is like a stubborn stone with emerald inside that has been wiped off its skin, and it can no longer conceal the dazzling brilliance.
"My son has seen my father." Wei Mu walked up to Governor Wei and saluted him. His eyes were bright and clear, and his manners and manners were impeccable. How could he still be shy and evasive in the past?
Governor Wei was very surprised, he could only stretch out his hand to support Wei Mu, looked him up and down, his heart was full of emotions, and finally turned into two voices: "Okay, okay."
There were simply too many things that surprised him today.
Mrs. Wei watched this scene helplessly, unable to maintain her kneeling posture, she sat down on the ground slumped.
It turned out that the second aunt had been pretending in front of her all the time!
From then on, her Hong'er was no longer irreplaceable in the mansion.
The second aunt walked up to Wei Yuan and greeted him with blessings.
She has always been hiding her clumsiness in the mansion, and she has been able to protect her three children all these years. Now that she has torn off that mask of forbearance, she is going to stand in line.
After all, Wei Mu is getting older, and if he hides for a long time, the reputation of being incompetent will spread, and it may even delay his future marriage.
"The writing paper wrapped on the stone must have been left by Second Aunt." Wei Yuan looked at the smart woman in front of him, and returned the gift with his hands.
"It's the maidservant and concubine." Second Aunt was considered Wei Yuan's half-elder, but her attitude towards Wei Yuan was extremely respectful, as if Wei Yuan was her elder.
Wei Yuan stretched out his hand and gestured: "Then, please continue."
Second Aunt nodded: "Yes."
Then she turned around, glanced around the room, and said: "A few days before the Fourth Young Master's accident, the concubine once saw the little girl who was punished to death in the wife's room because of poor care."
"The madam gave her a bag of gold and silver, and the little girl knelt to receive it, crying, not like crying with joy, but crying miserably."
"The concubine was curious at the time, why did she cry like this when she was rewarded? So she sent a servant to follow the little girl secretly."
"The little girl didn't do anything, she just went home and handed over the bag of gold and silver to her father who owed a huge gambling debt."
"It wasn't until the Fourth Young Master had an accident and the little girl was scolded to death by the madam that the concubine realized what the madam's previous actions were for."
"No wonder the little girl wanted to cry at that time, that bag of gold and silver was clearly her life money!"
"Her family name is Gu, and she still lives in Luliu Lane, Jicheng. The master sent someone to investigate, and I think they can find out whether two years ago, she suddenly got a sum of gold and silver, and her daughter died, just happened to be drowned with the fourth son." The time is right."
The second aunt's voice was life-threatening, and the first aunt cried "my son" and fell on Wei Gui's shoulder crying.
The first aunt and the second aunt jointly testified against Mrs. Wei, and Mrs. Wei's lips fluttered like a dehydrated fish, but she was speechless after all.
A cold murderous intent flashed across Wei Inspector's face, he pointed at Madam Wei, who was about to burst into tears, and said to the left and right: "Drag it for me, I never want to see her again!"
As the mistress in charge of the middle class, but secretly murdering his offspring, this kind of wicked woman must never stay again!
Mrs. Wei heard the words and knew that she was rejected by Governor Wei, and her whole body collapsed into mud on the ground.
The kindness of planning and planning in the past, the fighting spirit of secretly fighting for strength, all disappeared at this moment.
"Father, father!" The eldest son of Wei saw what the governor of Wei meant, and quickly stepped forward to stop Mrs. Wei, opened his arms to protect her, and said in tears, "For the sake of the son, it is because the mother followed the father. It's been so long, so please spare your mother!"
"You let mother go to Zhuangzi, go to the temple, and send her away from afar. Give her a chance to recite scriptures and repent for the fourth brother for the rest of her life, so that the fourth brother can go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss...don't just dispose of mother like this!"
"At the beginning, I thought it was the second younger brother who caused the fourth younger brother to drown. Didn't that mean that the second younger brother was released from the mansion for medical treatment? Father, please give mother the same chance!"
"If the father disposes of the mother just like that, how can the son have the face to continue living?!"
Governor Wei looked at Wei Hong, who was crying, and turned the blood jade wrench on his left thumb with his right hand, with a sinister expression on his face.
His eldest son is really stupid and ignorant, he actually compares Wei Yuan with Mrs. Wei.
Is Wei Yuan's previous situation the same as Mrs. Wei's current situation?
One was a stupid and unintentional mistake, and the other was deliberately killing his youngest son.
But... Wei Hong is right in saying something, if he disposes of Mrs. Wei in public now, how can Wei Hong have the face to continue to be his eldest son in the mansion?
Although he doesn't want to keep Mrs. Wei anymore, but Wei Hong is his blood after all, and he used to hold and tease him in his arms when he was a child. He watched him grow up little by little, and he was respectful and filial to her. .
If not, according to Hong'er's advice, send it to Zhuangzi or a temple for now, and find a chance for this wicked woman to die relatively decently.
Governor Wei was deep in thought, but he heard Wei Yuan next to him speak again: "Master, Madam's crimes are not limited to the fourth brother."
Wei Hong saw that Governor Wei had already been moved by what he said, but Wei Yuan was instigating from the sidelines, as if he wanted to take Mrs. Wei's life, so he immediately jumped to Wei Yuan and said anxiously: "Second brother, I know you have always followed Mother is discordant, even if mother makes a mistake for a while, don't think about putting all shit on her head! Is there any evidence for the other crimes you mentioned, where is the evidence?!"
He regrets it now.
He regretted that he should not have approached Wei Yuan to make friends as soon as he saw Wei Yuan, and even brought him to Imperial Physician Liu's residence to show Wei Yuan's legs.
If it wasn't for this reason, my mother is still fine now, and she wouldn't have fallen into such a situation!
Wei Yuan nodded, and said calmly, "Of course there is evidence."
"Let Dr. Liu come in."
The family feast has been going on for a long time because of a pot of poisoned wine. The sumptuous dishes on the table are all cold and no one touches their chopsticks, and Imperial Physician Liu has been waiting outside the flower hall for a long time.
Even if you can't get into the main hall, what you can see from the outside is full of flowers, the lanterns are hanging high, the spring breeze is warm and intoxicating, and it is a beautiful scene.
Only the occasional shouts, screams, and angrily arguing in the flower hall made Imperial Physician Liu understand that there was a battlefield there.
Although there are no swordsmen, it is destined to be a bloody battlefield.
Physician Liu is very calm at this moment, which has never been seen in 16 years. It is truly peaceful and peaceful.
I even have the mood to appreciate the blooming flowers and plants in the night, and feel the slightly drunken spring breeze.
Hearing the Second Young Master's summons, he adjusted his newly made light blue shirt with black collar, stepped into the flower hall, and stood beside Wei Yuan.
"This is Dr. Liu. I think everyone in the mansion recognizes him. It is said that he has some old friends with Madam's mother's family. Over the years, he often went to Madam's place to ask for pulse and prescribe medicine." After introducing everyone, Wei Yuan said to Physician Liu, "Doctor Liu, please Tell me what you know."
"Yes, Second Young Master." Imperial Physician Liu bowed his hands to Wei Yuan and said, "It's a long story..."
16 years ago, Imperial Physician Liu was grinding medicine in the TCM office at home, when he suddenly heard a report from Ge Gen, saying that it was the young wife of the Governor of Wei who asked to see him.
His family and Zhang's family used to be in the same imperial city, and they had some old acquaintances.The first daughter of the Zhang family, Mao Niang, married the governor of Wei, and this little lady was married with the first daughter of the Zhang family.
She is also the most intelligent and capable person around Zhang Maoniao, named Zhang Jingniang.
Since Zhang Maoniang was pregnant, her pregnancy was not very good, and she became unable to manage Zhongfu, and many things were left to Zhang Jingniang to negotiate and take care of.
Because of the friendship with the Zhang family, Zhang Maoniao has always been entrusted to the doctor Liu to raise the fetus, and he has always been dedicated to it, so he asked Ge Gen to bring someone in and asked her: "Is it true?"
For the convenience of Mrs. Wei, and for the young masters and ladies to have snacks and light meals here from time to time, the main courtyard itself has a small kitchen, and some live poultry are kept in cages in it.
Wei Hu responded, and quickly ran out to catch a quacking goose with a red top and white feathers, looking very energetic.
Wei Lang walked over, squeezed the goose's hard beak open with one hand, and held the wine jug with the other hand, stuffed the spout into the goose's beak and poured it in.
I didn't pour much, about half the amount of the wine cup, so I took the wine pot away.
Immediately after Wei Hu let go of the goose, he saw that it became hoarse, rolled its eyes and thumped back and forth on the ground a few times, black blood flowed from its mouth, and soon died stiffly in full view of everyone.
Sure enough, as Wei Yuan said, the wine contained a poison that sealed the throat with blood!
On this family reunion banquet, someone dared to poison! !And the target of the poisoning was actually Governor Wei! ! !
Wei Yuan looked at Mrs. Wei, and saw that she had a shocked expression on her face at this time, and her hands were tightly grasping the armrest of the mahogany chair. Show how abnormal she is.
At this time, Mrs. Wei quickly glanced at Governor Wei beside him, and saw that Governor Wei's face was livid and his lips were tightly pressed. She had been with him for 20 years, and knew that he was very angry and was about to explode.
Her mind was spinning fast, and it was obvious that things had been revealed, and she was reversed by Wei Yuan, a little beast!
No, no, she can't fold here! !
For the crime of killing her husband, if she is convicted of killing her, she will die. Everything she has planned and planned for half her life will come to naught, and Hong'er's future future will also be ruined! ! !
"Wanqing, how could you do such a thing?!" Mrs. Wei stretched out her right hand, suddenly pointed at the aunt who was standing beside her, and made a slightly sharp accusation, "How dare you poison?!"
The aunt's face was so pale that she had no color, and she fell to her knees on the ground with a plop towards Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei stood up on the armchair, still pointing at her aunt with one hand, showing a heartbroken expression: "Li'er died young, I know you have always held a grudge against Yuan'er, but Yuan'er was ignorant at that time, this matter It was a complete accident, and he didn't do it on purpose! How could you just get into a dead end like this?!"
"If the master drank this glass of wine, Yuan'er would certainly be charged with patricide, how would we survive as orphans and widows?!"
"Master usually treats you well, how, how can you be so cruel!!"
"You only care about Li'er who has gone away, and you don't think about Gui'er. She will get married in a year or two. If you do such a thing, what should she do!!!"
There was still a bit of struggle and reluctance in Auntie’s eyes before, but when Mrs. Wei mentioned Wei Gui, the struggle and reluctance in her eyes disappeared, and she lowered her eyes to look at the thin square brick floor, as if she had lost her life. puppets.
After Mrs. Wei accused Auntie, she involuntarily looked at Wei Yuan, but saw him sitting in a wheelchair with a serious expression, without saying a word.
Finally a little relieved.
She is very secretive, this little beast has acquired a whole body of medical skills outside, and medicine and poison have never been separated since ancient times... Even if he saw through the poison in the wine, he would guess that he did it himself, but no one proved it. With his aunt as the scapegoat, he couldn't do anything to himself.
Standing beside Wei Yuan, Wei Lang saw a faint smile on the profile of the lord Yubai.
I couldn't help but smiled a little, it was indeed a good show in front of me.
After all, Wei Inspector is old and has to ascend to a high position in the officialdom. Although he usually doesn't care about the affairs of the backyard, he is definitely not a person who faints when things happen.
Seeing that someone was going to poison him, and the goose died in such a miserable state, Governor Wei was of course furious, but he would not lose his mind and only listen to one side's words, and asked his aunt with a livid face, "Wanqing, madam Is it true? Is it really your poison?!"
Except for my aunt, the one with the ugliest face among the people present was Wei Gui.
It happened that she had been ill before, and she was sitting there precariously, and when she heard her father questioning her aunt, she looked more and more like a flower fluttering in the wind and rain and might fall off at any time.
No, no... Auntie has always been very timid, she repeatedly persuaded herself to let go of her hatred and give in to Wei Yuan, how could she suddenly want to avenge Li'er, even murdering her father to blame Wei Yuan?
Why did the mother accuse the aunt of poisoning?
Something must have gone wrong, it must be!
The auntie slowly raised her head to look at Governor Wei, her beautiful eyes were filled with withered ashes, like a deep well that had dried up.
When she was young and ignorant, when she was brought into the mansion as a good concubine, she had passionately admired Governor Wei.
Wei Inspector was not an Inspector in that year, and the talented and handsome Xianlang who was successful at a young age could satisfy the dreams of all boudoir daughters.
Although it is a concubine's room, but as his woman, she thought that she would be able to spend her life in peace without worrying about food and clothing.
The mistress was Zhang Maoniang at that time, and because he hadn't been out for three years, Wei Cishi was forced by the elders in the family, so he carried her and his second aunt through the house one after another.
Zhang Maoniang has an arrogant temperament, and is dissatisfied with the matter of bringing a concubine into the house. She often tells her and the second aunt that her nose is not her nose and her eyes are not eyes. The mansion is just a decoration, never getting close to Governor Wei.
At that time, she hated Zhang Maoniang very much in her heart, and sincerely felt that Zhang Jingniang was amiable and approachable.
Thinking about it now, after she entered the door, Zhang Maoniang didn't do anything to her other than giving her some anger, and she never really treated her harshly or hurt her.
On the contrary, Zhang Jingniang, who usually eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha's name, and looks at the old and the young, has hurt her Li'er, and now she is going to drive her to a dead end.
"Yes, it's a concubine." The auntie looked at Governor Wei and heard her own numb voice.
"No, auntie, it's not!" Wei Gui staggered up from the chair, walked up to the auntie, and burst into tears, "How could auntie do such a thing? No way!"
"Quickly tell your father clearly, you didn't do it, you didn't do it!"
The aunt turned her face slightly to the side, neither looking at Wei Gui nor making a sound.
This is her fate, and she has accepted her fate ever since Li'er died.
As long as the eldest lady can get married smoothly and smoothly in the future, she will not ask for anything.
Although Wei Gui said that he was young and inexperienced and easy to be used by others, but he was not stupid.
She was hinted by Mrs. Wei to find fault with Wei Yuan, and swam in the lotus pond until night, but it was the auntie who came to find her and took her home.
At that time, she finally understood the real difference between intimacy and distance.
Due to etiquette and rules, although she called Mrs. Wei her mother and her aunt her aunt, only her biological one would love her and love her when the critical moment came.
With tears in his eyes, Wei Gui looked at Wei Yuan beside him.
I saw him wearing a simple lake blue silk gown, the corners of the clothes and the collar of the leader were embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns, the exposed neck and fingers were clean and unadorned, and the frail man sat on the wheelbarrow and watched coldly , the snow-like face was calm and calm, even with a bit of laziness.
Except for that unearthly appearance, Wei Yuan at first glance looks like just a disabled, pampered young man.
But Wei Gui has experienced it himself, and clearly knows how treacherous and unfathomable this person's thoughts and methods are!
After the previous night swimming, she fell ill, and she was really afraid of him. Originally, she planned to keep him at a respectful distance, and she didn't even dare to look at him at the banquet any more.
But Wei Yuan saw through the poisoned wine on the spot. If there is someone who knows the real murderer and has the ability to rescue Auntie, then this person must be Wei Yuan!
Wei Gui suddenly turned around and knelt down, walked to Wei Yuan's wheelchair, kowtowed and cried: "Second brother, second brother, please forgive my sister for being ignorant and offending you, please help my aunt!"
Wei Yuan looked down at Wei Gui, whose face was full of tears, and said lightly: "Big sister, get up, I can't save your aunt."
When the auntie heard Wei Yuan's voice, she turned her face to look at him, only to see him continue to say: "If a person wants to be saved, he must first save himself. She herself admitted the poisoning, how do you want me to save?"
Hearing Wei Yuan's words, the auntie's dry eyes, which were as dry as ashes, suddenly burst into a layer of tears.
Ever since the Second Young Master returned to the mansion this time, my aunt could see clearly that he had never suffered from Mrs. Wei, and Mrs. Wei had never had anything to do with him.
If it is the Second Young Master, if the Second Young Master is willing to take action against Madam...
Wei Yuan raised his chin to his aunt and asked, "Are you willing?"
The simple four words sounded like a clear chime falling in the spring breeze, but it pierced through the heart of my aunt like a sharp arrow in an instant.
She still has the eldest lady, there is still hope in this world, if she can survive, who really wants to die?
"The concubine is not reconciled, of course not!" The auntie burst into tears, exhausting all her life's courage, and screamed, "If I was reconciled, I wouldn't be in the pile of firewood distributed to the second son a few days ago, You stole that reminder note!"
"The concubine originally thought that it was the Second Young Master that Madam wanted to poison, but she didn't expect it to be the master!!"
The auntie looked excited, and pointed to Madam Wei: "The pot of poisonous wine was brought by Madam Mulian by Madam's side!!!"
Being pointed at by the auntie, Madam Wei's pupils shrank suddenly, and she was shocked in her heart. She never thought that the auntie, who had always been cowardly and allowed her to manipulate like a clay figurine, would dare to turn the tables on the spot at this moment!
You must know that when Wei Li died, my aunt was suspicious in her heart as a mother. She only gave a little charity, and threatened Wei Gui with hints. Still running in front of himself to set the rules in the morning and evening, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
"Jing Niang, what do you say?" Governor Wei knew that Wei Yuan and Mrs. Wei were not dealing with each other, and seeing that Wei Yuan asked his aunt to identify Mrs. Wei with a single word, reversing the current situation, he couldn't help but secretly marveled.
Leaving aside the facts, it's a pity that his bad legs are not good enough to walk. If such a means of turning clouds and rain can be used in the court...
The anger in my heart gradually extinguished a lot.
Mrs. Wei saw Governor Wei's stern expression, and immediately knew that he had no intention of protecting her.
Except for Zhang Maoniang, he has always treated his wives and concubines like this.
After Zhang Maoniang's death, he never regarded himself as a real wife, but a handy tool for managing the backyard of the house.
Daughter's family, who doesn't envy Zhang Maoniang?Who doesn't want to live like Zhang Maoniang?
However, even if she finally sat in Zhang Maoniang's position, she would always be cautious in her life, and she would not be able to do Zhang Maoniang's wanton arrogance.
Just because a tool is a tool, it can be replaced at any time.
If you do something incomplete, and one day it will not work in his eyes, there will naturally be someone else to replace it.
"My lord, today's family banquet is organized by my concubine. If something like this happens, I really can't escape the blame. If you want to beat, punish or kill, it's up to you!" Mrs. Wei knelt down in front of Governor Wei and held her hand. Rubbing the corner of his clothes, he cried, "Maybe I blamed Wan Qing by mistake in a moment of impatience, causing her to target my concubine like this, but my concubine was wronged, I really dare not take this serious crime of murder!"
As soon as she knelt, Aunt Mulian and Wei Hong beside her also quickly knelt down.
Seeing her acting like this, Inspector Wei thought to herself that Jing Niang would never bear to step on an ant, and she eats fast and recites Buddha all day long, so she really doesn't seem like a person who can do such a bold thing.
"Mulian, Mulian!" Seeing that Governor Wei's expression was loose, Madam Wei hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and turned her face to look at Aunt Mulian who was kneeling beside her, "Wan Qing said that you handed her the jug of wine. what happened?"
Sister Mulian looked at Mrs. Wei in disbelief, her body trembling like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
"Don't be afraid, you have been with me for so many years, and the master has always been discerning, and will definitely make decisions for you." Mrs. Wei said warmly to Sister Mulian.
Sister Mulian's fingers subconsciously grasped the fabric of the knee tightly, and the trembling gradually stopped.
...to be in charge of her.
Suddenly, I remembered that in Zhang's house, in the simple courtyard, the girl with simple clothes had bright eyes and said to her——
"Mulian, I want to be sister Maoniang's concubine. Only in this way can we go to that rich place that we couldn't go to before."
"We are called masters and servants on the surface, but we love sisters in private. Whatever happens to you in the future, I will definitely be the master for you."
She was wearing poor-quality coarse cloth clothes at that time, her split yellow hair was tied up with strips of rags, her knees and shoulders and other parts that were prone to wear and tear were patched, her hands were chapped all the year round, and she nodded to Zhang Jingniang full of longing and admiration.
Miss Jingniang is the smartest woman she has ever seen, she is the light that pulled her out of the mud, following Miss Jingniang, there must be nothing wrong.
So many years, so many years.
"The poison was indeed poured into the wine by the servant girl." Mu Lian said slowly, "It's not because she wanted to murder the master, but because she wanted to find a chance to pour it on the second young master."
"Madam didn't know about it, so the poisoned wine was almost presented to the master by mistake."
The madam just speaks out her ideas, from dispensing the medicine to poisoning, she is indeed the one who did it, as long as she takes the charge, the madam is innocent, and she is not afraid of being thoroughly investigated by the master.
Although my wife often says that I am confused, but this way of explaining, it will work if I think about it.
"Mulian, you, why did you do this?!" Madam Wei put her hands on her chest, her expression was fragile, as if she would fall down at any moment, "I, I thought you were a caring and sensible person!"
"Since the second son entered the mansion, he has been in trouble with his wife everywhere, disrespectful and filial!" Mu Lian's voice suddenly amplified, rumbling in everyone's ears, "Madam's charity and forgiveness are not considered, but the servant girl really sees it." But eyes!"
"Murdering the little master, the servant girl knows that it is a crime worthy of death. If the servant girl is going, I hope the madam will take care of her in the future!"
After finishing speaking, Sister Mulian took a deep look at Mrs. Wei for the last time, her slightly fat body leaned back, and then with the help of this leaning force, she slammed her head heavily on the hard and cold brick floor, and her blood burst into tears instantly. Splashes of flowers.
Everyone in the hall screamed, Governor Wei frowned slightly and waved his hand, some attendants went over to check, and then reported to Governor Wei: "This old maid has passed away and died."
Madam Wei covered her mouth with her sleeve, her eyes were wide open, as if she was also frightened.
However, the corners of the lips under the sleeves turned up slightly because of the joy of escaping from the sky.
Good Mulian, good girl!
Take all the blame for all the crimes with your life, and give that little beast a name of disrespect and disfilialism before he dies!
You must know that loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of governing the country at that time, even if it seems that the little beast can't be hurt in the slightest now, it can at least leave such a bad impression in the master's heart.
It's a pity that it might not be so easy to train a loyal girl like her in the future.
Even though the little beast is so skillful that even the always cowardly aunt has taken refuge in him, but Mu Lian has taken all the blame and there is no proof of death.
"... let's stop here." Mulian's body was quickly dragged down. Governor Wei glanced at Wei Hong who was still kneeling with his head bowed. He knew that there was no way to pursue the matter, so he closed the case, "Quiet The mother has no way to control her, and she almost caused a catastrophe, so she took back the power to manage the house, and she is forbidden to reflect on herself from now on."
In fact, Governor Wei also vaguely felt that things were not that simple, but as the head of a house, he had to take care of the overall situation in addition to distinguishing between right and wrong.
He has three sons, Wei Yuan is the most favored by him, but currently his legs are not good enough to walk, and he will not be able to claim the title and enter the court.
Wei Muwen is not a martial artist, he looks like he shrinks when he sees people, he is a piece of material that he can't even support.
Only Wei Hong, although he is a bit indulged in pleasure, is relatively balanced in all aspects, with all hands and feet, and a decent appearance and temperament. Before, everyone had agreed that Wei Hong was the only son who could inherit the governor's mansion.
Even if this matter was really ordered by Jing Niang, this is the only way to do it when Mother Mulian touches the ground and dies, and Wei Hong's biological mother cannot be charged in public.
If he is really convicted, even if the matter is covered up with lightning, no one dares to spread it. If Wei Hong will inherit the throne in the future, and the brothers and sisters in the house mention his biological mother, what should we say?
How to convince the public?
At worst, Jingniang will be placed under house arrest in the mansion from now on, and if she is not allowed to be in charge of Zhongfu, let her live the rest of her life with peace of mind.
Mrs. Wei breathed a sigh of relief, although she lost to this little beast again this time, and even lost the right to head the house and Mu Lian, but in the end she only ended up with the name of Nowhere.
There is probably no one in this world who knows the governor of Wei better than her, as long as he saves his life, it may not be impossible to turn things around in the future.
When introducing, she will definitely not make any omissions like today, she must be careful and meticulous, and give this little beast the most fatal blow...
Just as she thought of this, Wei Yuan who was not far away suddenly heard: "This matter cannot stop here."
The voice is clear and shallow, but the tone is firm and unchangeable.
"Oh, does Yuan'er have any opinions?" Governor Wei turned his face sideways, "Let's hear it."
Wei Yuan nodded, and every word was heard by everyone, very clear: "My wife murdered my sister and her unborn child, drowned the three-year-old Fourth Young Master Wei, and now intends to poison my husband. There are many crimes. Unforgivable. Since you have committed these incidents, how can you stop here?!"
Mrs. Wei turned her face slowly, and looked at Wei Yuan with a horrified expression, just like looking at the deepest nightmare in her life.
"No, no!" Mrs. Wei yelled out of fear, "Don't talk nonsense here, I have never done these things myself, never!"
Yes, Zhang Jingniang, don't be afraid, don't panic.
There is no evidence for Mulian's death, and the things that the little animal said have been going on for so long, he can't produce evidence at all!
As if realizing that the yelling just now was a little out of character, Mrs. Wei forced a smile again, knelt on the ground and straightened her hair: "Yuan'er, I know you have always misunderstood your mother, but you can't listen to rumors and slander. Fanguijia was picked up by your mother in person. Take a look at your yard, which brothers and sisters can compare? The money in the usual account, clothing, food, spices and various utensils, but you ask for it with all your heart. Do whatever you want. If possible, mother would really like to take out her heart and liver to show you."
The fingers combing the temple hair trembled subconsciously.
Wei Hu stood by Wei Yuan's side and said loudly, "Who wants to see your black heart and rotten liver? Don't dirty the eyes of grandpas!"
Although the voice was not too loud, Governor Wei still heard it from the side, and said in a solemn voice: "This matter is of great importance, Yuan'er, if you say that, is there anyone to prove it?"
When he heard Wei Yuan say that Mrs. Wei murdered his sister-in-law and the fetus in her womb, his heart shrank suddenly like a thunderbolt struck his head.
If what the evil said is true... Isn't he, hasn't he misidentified snakes and scorpions for so many years? !
However, Governor Wei is a person who is accustomed to rational thinking after all. He quickly realized that since Wei Yuan did not deal with Mrs. Wei, and even his entourage believed that Mrs. Wei was black-hearted, the crimes he said would inevitably be biased. circumstances may not be credible.
After Sister Mulian pleaded guilty, Wei Gui helped up the aunt who had limp legs and feet, and was stunned as she stood beside her.
When she was born, Zhang Maoniang had been dead for almost two years, and to her, it was just a name on a tablet without any impression.
And Li'er... Didn't Wei Yuan push into the lotus pond when he was stupid, but did his mother drown?
It's not too much of a surprise, what Mrs. Tianwei has done these days, especially the accusation that the auntie was poisoned just now, has completely collapsed her image of a loving mother in Wei Gui's mind.
Wei Gui is different from Wei Cishi, she knows Wei Yuan's ability to be almost unpredictable, so she doesn't think it is necessary for Wei Yuan to lie.
Just kidding, what kind of lie does her second brother need to tell?
Even if he really pushed Li'er into the water when he was stupid, and really poisoned Governor Wei, with his ability, there is no need to lie to cover it up!
He can turn her, Wei Gui, into a fish that can't go ashore, and he can naturally turn all the people in the house who dare to disobey him into pigs, sheep, cats and dogs waiting to be slaughtered! !
Not to mention that there is Prince Gong protecting him outside, Wei Yuan wants to completely control this family, and even make her seemingly stern and powerful father a puppet in his hands, it's just as easy as pie! ! !
Wei Gui looked at Wei Yuan, his eyes flickered with light, and his breathing became slightly short of breath.
What is constantly rolling in the chest is admiration, admiration for the unattainable and strong.
Like a mayfly that lives and dies in the morning and evening, it accidentally sees the vicissitudes of life; like a frog in a well suddenly jumps out of the well, looking up at the boundless and vast sky.
This strong man is her second elder brother, who is standing by her side now.
She stretched out her hand, secretly pulled the jade bracelet on the aunt's wrist, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, there is second elder brother here, so you don't have to be afraid of her!"
"If you miss this opportunity and fail to step on her, Li'er will really be wronged!"
Now that the auntie had put everything out there once today, when she heard what her own daughter said, she once again stepped forward to salute with courage: "Master, the servants and concubines are witnesses to the matter of the Fourth Young Master!"
Mrs. Wei raised her eyes and looked at Auntie.
Usually it was the aunt who knelt down to Mrs. Wei, but now it was reversed, the aunt stood in front of Governor Wei, and Mrs. Wei knelt on the ground.
The auntie thought of Wei Li who had passed away, her heart broke for a moment, she pointed at Mrs. Wei and cried: "It's also the concubine who is stupid and doesn't know how to hide, the fourth son is born smart, the master was in the room reciting a Fu from the beginning of Hongmeng, he just At the age of three, he can retell the story after listening to it. The master is overjoyed. From then on, he often brings the fourth young master by his side and teaches him personally. Who would have thought that it would be in the eyes of the madam!"
"Madam felt that the fourth son would hinder the eldest son in the future, so she designed to drown the fourth son, and blamed the second son who was stupid and ignorant at that time!"
Wei Hong heard it, and suddenly stood up from the ground with his hem up, looked at the auntie and said, "Auntie, I know that my mother was in a hurry and wrongly accused you of poisoning you, but you have a grudge against your mother, but you can't talk nonsense like that." !"
"The mother may be responsible for the lax management of the family, but the death of the fourth brother is a major event, how can you blame the mother indiscriminately?!"
"Not gibberish."
A retorting female voice sounded, but it was not the auntie. Everyone's eyes followed the female voice, and saw an unexpected person who could stay out of the situation——
Second aunt.
Second Auntie was wearing a lotus blue spring shirt, with beautiful features. Although she was in her 30s and had three children, she still had a graceful figure.
Among Governor Wei's current one wife and two concubines, Second Aunt is undoubtedly the most beautiful, and Governor Wei likes to go to her room most when he is free.
"Sister Wanqing, you're not talking nonsense." The second aunt continued, "The maid and concubine are also witnesses."
Wei Hong stared at Second Aunt, as if he wanted to stare at her, and gritted his teeth angrily, "Second Aunt, Mother treats you well!"
The second aunt smiled sweetly, without any fear: "Madam has never been stingy when dealing with non-threatening decorations."
"Eldest son, do you know that when you were studying in school when you were young, when you stuttered while reading an article, the third son was already able to recite and write that article?"
"Do you know that in the martial arts arena, not only the servants and teachers let you go, but even your third brother, who is almost four years younger than you, deliberately let you go?"
Hearing the second aunt's question, Wei Hong opened his eyes involuntarily, took half a step back, and lost his previous momentum: "You...you're talking nonsense!"
"The concubine is not talking nonsense. If the third son hadn't always been clumsy to the eldest son, he might have ended up in the end of the fourth son." The second aunt said indifferently, "Since we have talked now, the maid and concubine don't have any scruples anymore. Third Young Master, come over to Auntie."
"Straighten your waist, wipe your face clean, let your father, let everyone take a good look at your real appearance!"
Wei Muyiyan took the wet handkerchief handed over by the sister next to him, got up from the seat while wiping his face, and strode towards the second aunt.
He was still tall and thin, but now his body was no longer stooped, his back was straight and straight.
On the snow-white veil, as Wei Mu wiped it, black and yellow stains were left behind.
In the past, he was crowned as a monkey, and was always scolded by the governor of Wei for his incompetence. The third son, who looked like he was not on the stage, turned out to be a handsome and valiant young man who was far superior to the eldest son in terms of appearance and demeanor!
Most of the boys resembled their mothers, and the second aunt was beautiful and charming, so how could Wei Mu be ugly?
It's just that the bad posture and behavior in the past, coupled with the yellow and black face, are annoying.
The Wei Mu right now is like a stubborn stone with emerald inside that has been wiped off its skin, and it can no longer conceal the dazzling brilliance.
"My son has seen my father." Wei Mu walked up to Governor Wei and saluted him. His eyes were bright and clear, and his manners and manners were impeccable. How could he still be shy and evasive in the past?
Governor Wei was very surprised, he could only stretch out his hand to support Wei Mu, looked him up and down, his heart was full of emotions, and finally turned into two voices: "Okay, okay."
There were simply too many things that surprised him today.
Mrs. Wei watched this scene helplessly, unable to maintain her kneeling posture, she sat down on the ground slumped.
It turned out that the second aunt had been pretending in front of her all the time!
From then on, her Hong'er was no longer irreplaceable in the mansion.
The second aunt walked up to Wei Yuan and greeted him with blessings.
She has always been hiding her clumsiness in the mansion, and she has been able to protect her three children all these years. Now that she has torn off that mask of forbearance, she is going to stand in line.
After all, Wei Mu is getting older, and if he hides for a long time, the reputation of being incompetent will spread, and it may even delay his future marriage.
"The writing paper wrapped on the stone must have been left by Second Aunt." Wei Yuan looked at the smart woman in front of him, and returned the gift with his hands.
"It's the maidservant and concubine." Second Aunt was considered Wei Yuan's half-elder, but her attitude towards Wei Yuan was extremely respectful, as if Wei Yuan was her elder.
Wei Yuan stretched out his hand and gestured: "Then, please continue."
Second Aunt nodded: "Yes."
Then she turned around, glanced around the room, and said: "A few days before the Fourth Young Master's accident, the concubine once saw the little girl who was punished to death in the wife's room because of poor care."
"The madam gave her a bag of gold and silver, and the little girl knelt to receive it, crying, not like crying with joy, but crying miserably."
"The concubine was curious at the time, why did she cry like this when she was rewarded? So she sent a servant to follow the little girl secretly."
"The little girl didn't do anything, she just went home and handed over the bag of gold and silver to her father who owed a huge gambling debt."
"It wasn't until the Fourth Young Master had an accident and the little girl was scolded to death by the madam that the concubine realized what the madam's previous actions were for."
"No wonder the little girl wanted to cry at that time, that bag of gold and silver was clearly her life money!"
"Her family name is Gu, and she still lives in Luliu Lane, Jicheng. The master sent someone to investigate, and I think they can find out whether two years ago, she suddenly got a sum of gold and silver, and her daughter died, just happened to be drowned with the fourth son." The time is right."
The second aunt's voice was life-threatening, and the first aunt cried "my son" and fell on Wei Gui's shoulder crying.
The first aunt and the second aunt jointly testified against Mrs. Wei, and Mrs. Wei's lips fluttered like a dehydrated fish, but she was speechless after all.
A cold murderous intent flashed across Wei Inspector's face, he pointed at Madam Wei, who was about to burst into tears, and said to the left and right: "Drag it for me, I never want to see her again!"
As the mistress in charge of the middle class, but secretly murdering his offspring, this kind of wicked woman must never stay again!
Mrs. Wei heard the words and knew that she was rejected by Governor Wei, and her whole body collapsed into mud on the ground.
The kindness of planning and planning in the past, the fighting spirit of secretly fighting for strength, all disappeared at this moment.
"Father, father!" The eldest son of Wei saw what the governor of Wei meant, and quickly stepped forward to stop Mrs. Wei, opened his arms to protect her, and said in tears, "For the sake of the son, it is because the mother followed the father. It's been so long, so please spare your mother!"
"You let mother go to Zhuangzi, go to the temple, and send her away from afar. Give her a chance to recite scriptures and repent for the fourth brother for the rest of her life, so that the fourth brother can go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss...don't just dispose of mother like this!"
"At the beginning, I thought it was the second younger brother who caused the fourth younger brother to drown. Didn't that mean that the second younger brother was released from the mansion for medical treatment? Father, please give mother the same chance!"
"If the father disposes of the mother just like that, how can the son have the face to continue living?!"
Governor Wei looked at Wei Hong, who was crying, and turned the blood jade wrench on his left thumb with his right hand, with a sinister expression on his face.
His eldest son is really stupid and ignorant, he actually compares Wei Yuan with Mrs. Wei.
Is Wei Yuan's previous situation the same as Mrs. Wei's current situation?
One was a stupid and unintentional mistake, and the other was deliberately killing his youngest son.
But... Wei Hong is right in saying something, if he disposes of Mrs. Wei in public now, how can Wei Hong have the face to continue to be his eldest son in the mansion?
Although he doesn't want to keep Mrs. Wei anymore, but Wei Hong is his blood after all, and he used to hold and tease him in his arms when he was a child. He watched him grow up little by little, and he was respectful and filial to her. .
If not, according to Hong'er's advice, send it to Zhuangzi or a temple for now, and find a chance for this wicked woman to die relatively decently.
Governor Wei was deep in thought, but he heard Wei Yuan next to him speak again: "Master, Madam's crimes are not limited to the fourth brother."
Wei Hong saw that Governor Wei had already been moved by what he said, but Wei Yuan was instigating from the sidelines, as if he wanted to take Mrs. Wei's life, so he immediately jumped to Wei Yuan and said anxiously: "Second brother, I know you have always followed Mother is discordant, even if mother makes a mistake for a while, don't think about putting all shit on her head! Is there any evidence for the other crimes you mentioned, where is the evidence?!"
He regrets it now.
He regretted that he should not have approached Wei Yuan to make friends as soon as he saw Wei Yuan, and even brought him to Imperial Physician Liu's residence to show Wei Yuan's legs.
If it wasn't for this reason, my mother is still fine now, and she wouldn't have fallen into such a situation!
Wei Yuan nodded, and said calmly, "Of course there is evidence."
"Let Dr. Liu come in."
The family feast has been going on for a long time because of a pot of poisoned wine. The sumptuous dishes on the table are all cold and no one touches their chopsticks, and Imperial Physician Liu has been waiting outside the flower hall for a long time.
Even if you can't get into the main hall, what you can see from the outside is full of flowers, the lanterns are hanging high, the spring breeze is warm and intoxicating, and it is a beautiful scene.
Only the occasional shouts, screams, and angrily arguing in the flower hall made Imperial Physician Liu understand that there was a battlefield there.
Although there are no swordsmen, it is destined to be a bloody battlefield.
Physician Liu is very calm at this moment, which has never been seen in 16 years. It is truly peaceful and peaceful.
I even have the mood to appreciate the blooming flowers and plants in the night, and feel the slightly drunken spring breeze.
Hearing the Second Young Master's summons, he adjusted his newly made light blue shirt with black collar, stepped into the flower hall, and stood beside Wei Yuan.
"This is Dr. Liu. I think everyone in the mansion recognizes him. It is said that he has some old friends with Madam's mother's family. Over the years, he often went to Madam's place to ask for pulse and prescribe medicine." After introducing everyone, Wei Yuan said to Physician Liu, "Doctor Liu, please Tell me what you know."
"Yes, Second Young Master." Imperial Physician Liu bowed his hands to Wei Yuan and said, "It's a long story..."
16 years ago, Imperial Physician Liu was grinding medicine in the TCM office at home, when he suddenly heard a report from Ge Gen, saying that it was the young wife of the Governor of Wei who asked to see him.
His family and Zhang's family used to be in the same imperial city, and they had some old acquaintances.The first daughter of the Zhang family, Mao Niang, married the governor of Wei, and this little lady was married with the first daughter of the Zhang family.
She is also the most intelligent and capable person around Zhang Maoniao, named Zhang Jingniang.
Since Zhang Maoniang was pregnant, her pregnancy was not very good, and she became unable to manage Zhongfu, and many things were left to Zhang Jingniang to negotiate and take care of.
Because of the friendship with the Zhang family, Zhang Maoniao has always been entrusted to the doctor Liu to raise the fetus, and he has always been dedicated to it, so he asked Ge Gen to bring someone in and asked her: "Is it true?"
