All eyes were focused on the third lady.

She said: "Old madam, Liu'er has been thinking about me since I tried to get married for my concubine. I thought it would be okay to take her in if I liked her, but I didn't care about her. So I raised her so much.

My aunt's affairs have been suppressed, but I didn't expect her to hold a grudge in her heart. Today I spit out blood, and my concubine has no shame in living."

The old lady said without changing her expression: "Tell me, among the crimes she mentioned, which one do you believe in?"

Third Yiniang gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want to admit anything else, but I just admit that I framed her today."

The old lady asked: "So it is you who blamed Guifen for this thing and the jade head?"

The third aunt said: "Jian concubine, please tell the truth. In fact, the concubine and the fifth sister have discussed together to use this jade head and face to blame the eldest lady. Because we saw that the master rewarded the Jinxiu Pavilion to the eldest lady and the eldest lady.

We are afraid that the master will fall in love with the eldest lady again."

The fifth lady had been slapped three times, and her inner anger could not be eliminated. Now she saw the third lady dragging her into the water, and she immediately said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, when did I frame the eldest lady with you?"

The third lady sneered: "If you didn't, how could you help me? And you said you saw the eldest lady snatching my jade head and face?"

The fifth lady was not a light-hearted person either. She rolled her eyes and said, "Now that I think about it, I misunderstood. Besides, I was far away and could only see my clothes. That person should be the eldest lady Liu Er pretended to be, right? You deliberately acted to show off to me?"

I saw it just so that I could testify for you."

The third lady said angrily: "Nonsense, it was obviously you who came up with the idea of ​​blaming the eldest lady after seeing this guy. I really regret listening to you. If you hadn't instigated me, how could I have been so bold?"

The fifth lady retorted: "Nonsense, what good does it do me to come up with this idea? It won't be my turn to be in charge of the house even when the eldest lady comes to court, so what do I want? It's you who are trying to drive me away with this plan, because I

My son is better than your son."

The old lady had a headache from their quarrel and shouted: "Shut up, it's not a worry-free thing. Li'er, what do you think we should do about this?"

Xue Li's eyes showed ruthlessness and he said: "My son hates women who cause trouble the most. Let them all get out of Xue's house."

The old lady looked at Xue Meiren, her face was uncertain, but she did not express any opinion. It was not that she had not listened to what Liu Er said just now. Although she could not believe it all, she also became suspicious of the third lady.

And the fifth lady’s ancestral craftsmanship must not be given up, otherwise it would be meaningless to spend so much effort to marry her. But there has been such a big fuss recently, it’s impossible not to come up with an explanation, so many people in the house are waiting to see

The results of it.

The old lady looked at the eldest lady again. She was still calm and calm, watching the show without any incident. Normally, Madam Ninth would handle everything, but today she also committed an offense. She is still kneeling outside. It seems inappropriate.

I won't drag the eldest lady out.

"Xueru."

When the eldest lady saw the old lady calling her, she immediately said, "My wife is here."

The old lady said: "I'm getting older, and maybe I haven't been involved in housekeeping for a long time. You can give me some advice on today's matters. After all, you are the mistress, and you will have to take care of all the matters in the house in the future."

The eldest lady did not expect that the old lady would say this, and immediately turned her eyes to Xue Rou'er, who nodded at her. She believed that her mother, who came from a wealthy family, would definitely be able to handle this matter.

The eldest lady got Xue Rou'er's permission before saying: "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law hasn't been in charge of the family for so many years. I'm afraid that if she doesn't handle it well, she will lose the Xue family's face and make people laugh."

The old lady said: "You can deal with it as long as it's reasonable, but I want to see who dares to laugh."

The eldest lady nodded and said: "Although this incident started because of me, it was indeed Lao San who framed Lao Wu. Let's not pursue the past affairs. It has been so many years. There is no proof.

It's not easy to cause uproar in the city. If we dig deeper, no matter what the truth is, it will be an embarrassment to our Xue family.

As for what happened today, I won’t pursue Third Sister’s crime of framed me, but I have to mention the matter of framed Lao Wu. Lao San and Lao Wu are both the wives of our Xue family, and they both have sons, which is considered a great achievement.

One thing, so one cannot favor one over the other. Those who have been wronged must be given justice.

Lao Wu is innocent, so I will reward you with something as an apology at my discretion. After all, those three slaps are not light.

The third child... I think it's for the sake of the welfare of the children. Besides, we have to give Xue Meiren's face, so I'll give her 20 slaps, a year's monthly fine, and half a year's suspension.

Mother-in-law, do you think my daughter-in-law is doing well?"

The old lady smiled and said: "Very good, very good, let's do it like this. Are you two convinced?"

When the fifth lady saw that she had cleared herself from the matter, she immediately stopped caring about the three slaps and said immediately: "Thank you, old madam, thank you, eldest madam, for your submission."

The third lady originally thought she was dead this time, but she didn't expect the eldest lady to let her go so easily. How could she dare to say she was not convinced? She immediately kowtowed and said, "I am convinced too. Thank you, old lady, for your kindness. Thank you, eldest lady, for your kindness. I know

wrong."

The old lady said: "Well, just admit your mistake and someone will take it down."

When the third lady was taken down to make a plan, Xue Meiren didn't say a word or plead for mercy. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that she had doubts about the third lady. After all, this matter involved the death of her mother.

Listening to the wailing of the Third Madam, she felt upset, and then she thought of the Ninth Madam kneeling outside, so she said, "Has the Ninth Madam outside been punished as well?"

Only then did the old lady think of Yin Jiufeng and said, "Go and bring Jiufeng in."

Yin Jiufeng looked calm when he came in, and it seemed that he had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Concubine, please see the old lady, sir, eldest madam." Madam Ninth said with a rare expression of low eyebrows and submissiveness.

The old lady said: "Xueru, you can handle it. You know best that she has treated you harshly over the years."

The eldest lady hated Yin Jiufeng the most in her heart, but she did not show it on her face and said, "Mother-in-law, you can't actually blame her. If her daughter-in-law hadn't caused her to have a miscarriage that year, she wouldn't have treated her like this.

As the saying goes, a tiger can't eat its own son. She finally had a son, but she lost it because of her daughter-in-law. She was resentful of her, and her daughter-in-law didn't feel aggrieved at all. Besides, the daughter-in-law felt ashamed of Jiufeng from the bottom of her heart, so let this matter go.

Bar."

Xue Rou'er doesn't know what happened in the past, but if a person like Yin Jiufeng wants to win favor, what can't he do? My mother is unwilling to let her go so easily!

She rolled her eyes and said: "So Jiu Yiniang is good at martial arts, but I wonder if my second sister can? If she can, her legs won't hurt even after kneeling for three days, right? It's really enviable."

When Xue Meiren heard this, she suddenly remembered that Xue Qing'er called her Beauty Empress. When word spread about this, her future was in doubt, and she couldn't help but vent her frustration on Madam Ninth.

[Author's digression]: A short off-topic story: Xue Rou'er said dissatisfied: "Mother, why did you let them go so easily?"

The eldest lady sighed: "Daughter, you don't know that my mother also has her own reasons. Doesn't she want to seduce your unscrupulous father?"

Xue Rouer hummed, "Do you want him? OK, I'll tie him up and throw him on the bed for you."

The eldest lady's eyes lit up: "Really, mother, go find the rope right now."
