Chapter 51 Treating the symptoms but not the root cause
Sa Youxin is very good-looking. She is green and tender at her age. Although she does not wear makeup and her eyes are red and swollen, she is still charming. But she is not the coquettish type, and there is still a bit of heroism in her facial features.
Looking at Ye Caitang, he felt that I felt sorry for him and felt sorry for him.
"Ahem." Xia Yue coughed lightly, turned around and whispered: "Be careful, don't look like you are more of a disciple than a man."
Although I won't get beaten, it's a bit embarrassing.
Ye Caitang wiped the corner of his mouth guiltily and said firmly: "I didn't."
However, she has stayed in the village for five years. Although there are young and beautiful girls in the village, no matter how much the family loves them, they still have to work every day. Washing, cooking and going to the fields are daily routines. The clothes are also relatively rough, and they occasionally dress up.
, they also use cheap and low-quality powder jewelry, which is incomparable with concubines from wealthy families.
It really makes sense that people want clothes, and Buddha wants gold. Even if you don't have to work, your face will be clean and you will be much more beautiful.
"Young Master...Old Master." Sa Youxin looked at Yao Weisong, then at Jian Yu and his entourage, with a very aggrieved look on his face.
If the master is gone, the eldest young master will no longer be the eldest master and will automatically be upgraded to the master. The current eldest young master is Yao Weisong's eldest son.
If Yao Haifeng was still here, no matter what she committed, her treatment would be better. After all, she is being loved now. They are not a couple for a day, and they will still be able to act like a coquettish girl for a hundred days.
But now that Yao Weisong is the head of the family, these daily routines make his first wife disgusted with his aunt who can't get rid of her, and she is worried that she won't find the opportunity to take care of her one by one.
Yao Weisong naturally doesn't have a good feeling towards the aunt his father left behind, but he just took over and it's hard to show it too obviously.
"This is Mr. Xia from the Six Doors." Yao Haifeng said with a straight face: "Mr. Xia is here to investigate my father's affairs. Whatever I ask you, you just say it. You are honest and don't tell any lies.
"
Sayou nodded heartily.
By chance, the housekeeper hurried in from outside at this time. Apparently, he had something to ask Yao Weisong.
From last night to now, Yao Weisong has too many things to deal with. He is too busy to sit down and take a sip of water. The same goes for the housekeeper. And as the news of Yao Haifeng's death spreads at dawn, relatives and friends will come to his door one after another. He will only
Busier.
"Go and do your work." Xia Yue said, "I'll ask her and take a look at the scene. If I have any questions, I'll come back to you."
Yao Weisong nodded repeatedly, thanked him again and again, and trotted away with the housekeeper.
Ye Caitang had already heard the description of Yao Haifeng's sudden death last night twice, but when the person involved at the scene told it, he still needed more details.
Xia Yue asked someone to open the door to the bedroom next door.
The bedroom was still the same as it was when Yao Haifeng died. The bed was messy and unmade. It was obvious that he had not slept since he got out of bed in a hurry. A few steps away from the bed was a dressing table with a rolled-down chair next to the dressing table. There was a round table at the entrance.
There are teapots and teacups on the round table, which are messy.
Judging from the shape of the chairs beside the round table, they are the same set of chairs that have rolled down beside the dressing table.
Ye Caitang picked up the teapot and shook it. There was only a little water in it, which was tea that had already cooled down.
Sa You thought to himself: "In the early hours of this morning, I was still asleep. When the master woke up and said he wanted to drink tea, I got up and poured him a cup, then brought it over. As soon as I walked to the bed, the master suddenly covered his heart.
He looked in pain. I was frightened and rushed to find the doctor, and then everyone came."
Ye Caitang suddenly said: "Did Yao Haifeng take a sip of water?"
"No." Sa Youxin confirmed: "I didn't drink a sip. The water stains on the quilt on the floor were all caused by knocking over the teapot."
After a pause, Sa said heartily: "Madam doesn't believe it and insists on saying that I poisoned the master to death... The water on the table was spilled all over the floor because Madam insisted on forcing me to drink it."
"Then did you drink?"
Sa Youxin nodded and said aggrievedly: "I drank half a pot, it was just herbal tea. How dare I harm the master? Besides, why should I harm the master?"
Sa Youxin said, covering her face with her hands and crying: "The master is gone, the young master is in charge of the house, and the madam will not tolerate us."
The feeling of crying in one's heart is like a cloud in the mist, pear blossoms with rain.
Xia Yue's face was expressionless. Wang Tong and Liu Sha looked at it with a look of pity on their faces.
Liu Sha whispered: "It's also pitiful."
Compared with the wife of the main wife and the side wives who have children who have grown up and have stayed in the house for a long time and have already established a certain foothold, concubines such as Sa Youxin, who have just entered the house and have no heirs, are the most popular.
There is no guarantee.
After Yao Haifeng's death, Yao Weisong would definitely get rid of them all in order to appease his mother. The simplest and crudest way would be to sell them directly. The concubines he bought would not be worth much in this day and age.
Only Ye Caitang is not pitiful.
Ye Caitang said: "If my husband-in-law had eight concubines, I would have poisoned all nine of them to death."
Liu Sha was too confused to react: "Eighth concubine, why did you poison nine of them to death?"
"Did the eighth aunt fall from the sky?" Ye Caitang said: "Treating the symptoms does not cure the root cause. The spring breeze will cause it to grow again."
It seemed reasonable at first, but it was too scary when I heard it again. Sa Youxin looked at Ye Caitang in horror.
Liu Sha suddenly remembered that when eating a few days ago, Aunt Lin asked him if he was married and engaged. Although Aunt Lin didn't explain clearly, at that time he secretly thought that Ye Caitang was actually a good girl. Thinking about it now, he only thought that Aunt Lin
Full of murderous intent.
Xia Yue patted Ye Caitang to tell her to stop talking nonsense.
Xia Yue said: "Sa Youxin, how long have you been in the Yao family? What did the family do in the past? How did you meet Yao Haifeng?"
Sa You didn't dare to lie to Xia Yue in any way, and he couldn't hide it, so he told the truth.
In this era, beauty is both capital and disaster.
Sa Youxin was from nearby Linshui County. He was not originally from a particularly poor family. His father had some talent and was good at drawing vivid figures. He set up a stall in the city to make a living by painting for others. His mother did some odd farm work at home. With her,
With a younger brother, he is more than better than his superiors.
But last year, my father suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away after depleting all the family's property and racking up a debt.
The mother was stimulated and was in a trance. In the second month after her father's death, she accidentally lit a candle on the bedding. A fire burned the whole house and also seriously injured her younger brother.
In a short period of time, his family was destroyed and his family was destroyed. Sa Youxin was an orphan, penniless and without any relatives.
At this time, Sa Youxin met Yao Haifeng.
Yao Haifeng fell in love with Sa Youxin at first sight and was willing to pay for her mother's burial and her brother's medical treatment. The only condition was that she be his eighth concubine.
Sa You was desperate and had no choice but to agree. Yao Haifeng did try his best to spend the money, but his brother still could not be saved. This is a story for later.
