Xie Yi smiled and saw her smiling like this, guessing that it must be a happy ending, so he said: "Surely evil will be punished?"
Ming Xin laughed again: "No, the Madam interrogated the Second Madam and Aunt Xu, but Aunt Xu still refused to admit it, saying that she had never done such a thing, and that it was the Second Madam who framed her in order to get rid of her.
Drop her."
"The Second Madam can't produce any evidence. Aunt Xu is still confident and accuses the Second Madam in front of the Dowager Madam."
"Then the second master also came and said that there was no such thing at all. He never said anything to ask the second girl not to argue with the third girl. These were all made up by the second lady."
"He also said that the second wife was full and had nothing to do all day long. She did these things and even harmed her own daughter. He does not have such a wife and he wants to divorce his wife."
"The second lady deserves it."
Doesn't she deserve it? For this man, she didn't even care about her own children, and she didn't even care about pushing her daughter into a fire pit just to please the man. Now that the man is treating her like this, it's simply retribution.
But none of these three people are good people.
"What happened next?"
"Later, the wife took action."
The Zhou family couldn't handle this matter. If Aunt Xu was the concubine of Changning Marquis, she, the head wife, could interrogate her as she wanted. However, it was really hard to deal with the concubine in her brother-in-law's room. Mrs. Sun herself was willing to compromise and didn't want to argue about it.
What else could I do with her, my sister-in-law?
"The Madam didn't investigate the matter, but she questioned Aunt Xu about the things that she had taken over from Sun and the second girl over the years. Many of the things were given by the family, and some were given by elders and guests. Who in the family could get them?
Everything is recorded in the books."
"The Madam asked someone to check it out, and they seized a ready-made item. They are all placed in Aunt Xu and Miss Third's room."
The Jiang family did not investigate whether Aunt Xu coaxed Sun into marrying Gu Xiang to the Sun family. After all, it was a matter that the two of them discussed privately. The Sun family could not produce evidence. As long as Aunt Xu was beaten to death and refused to admit it, she would have to swallow her own pain.
Down.
Moreover, Ms. Sun herself was stupid and vicious, so there was no way she could let her clear things up like this. Mr. Jiang blamed the matter on her head, and also investigated Aunt Xu and Gu Yi for bullying the legitimate daughter-in-law and embezzling money and belongings.
Now, no one can think about it.
"Although Aunt Xu is a bad person, she is more considerate than the second lady. She knew how to protect the third girl and took the matter fully. She said that the third girl didn't know about it at all. In the end, she was ordered by the queen to be beaten fifty times, leaving her skin and flesh bruised.
"
"Aunt Xu was crying and shouting. She was embarrassed and pitiful, but she was quite relieved of her hatred. She has bullied the second girl countless times over the years, both overtly and covertly."
Thinking about that scene, it was extremely exciting.
Xie Yixiao asked her: "What about the second aunt?"
"Second Madam, the Grand Madam had her things packed up and sent her to live in a remote courtyard in the mansion so that she could reflect on it."
This means putting her under house arrest.
It also gives her an advantage.
But after all, it has been decided that Gu Xiang will marry to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. The wedding will be in a month. She is Gu Xiang's mother. If he really beats her, the injury will not be healed by then, and it is not good.
manage.
In this way, beating is impossible, but putting her under house arrest is also a big punishment for her.
What Sun cares about most is Mr. Gu. Every day she thinks about competing with concubines like Aunt Xu for favor, crying and complaining. If she is put under house arrest, she will not be able to see Mr. Gu, and the daily torture can be imagined.
And know.
Moreover, Gu Xiang and Gu Zhilan were a little quieter without a mother who was holding them back. After Aunt Xu went through this, she might not be able to get out of bed for half a month. When she could get up, Gu Xiang would also get married.
Xie Yixiao nodded, feeling that Jiang's handling of the situation was indeed the best and took into account all aspects.
Let Aunt Xu know how powerful she is and calm down in the future. After all, Aunt Xu has given birth to a pair of children for Mr. Gu, and the children are getting married. It is impossible to divorce her, and killing her would be too much.
As for Sun, although she didn't suffer physically, she was suffering mentally. This was the best result for Gu Xiang and Gu Zhilan.
When it comes to ability, the Zhou family is still a little worse than the Jiang family. Although they are good in general, they are still a bit petty and not thorough when thinking about things.
If it were the Jiang family, they should have proposed adding more betrothal gifts in exchange for a bride when discussing the matter with the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. In this case, there would be no other things that happened later.
That is to say, Jiang didn't want to take care of it before. After all, she was getting older, and Zhou would still have to handle the affairs of the house in the future, so she let Zhou handle it in her own way.
But then people from the Sun family came, and Jiang stepped forward because he was afraid that Zhou wouldn't be able to handle it.
"By the way, the Madam knew about the Mr. Sun that Marquis Wu An was talking about, so she sent someone to invite him. However, Mr. Sun was old and not in good health. It was difficult for him to move around. The Madam felt that the girl's body was too weak.
It's getting better now, so I'll let the people at home make arrangements and go out to the city to have a look tomorrow."
"The Madam asked the Third Young Master to accompany the girl. She also sent someone to ask the Xie family what they wanted. Madam Xie also asked the Third Young Master to accompany the girl tomorrow."
At this point, Ming Xin laughed. Although Xie Yixiao had lost her parents, neither the Xie family nor the Gu family cared about her. If anything happened, she had brothers, nephews, and cousins, so she would not care about her.
As for being alone.
"Third Young Master?" These two Third Young Masters are different. The first one is the Third Young Master of the Changning Marquis Mansion, and the second one is talking about Xie Yu of the Xie family.
"That's Mr. Zhi Feng."
There are five young masters in the Changning Marquis Mansion. The first one is Gu Zhixuan, the eldest son of the eldest son. The second one is Gu Erye and Aunt Xu’s son, Gu Zhisong, the product of the dark knot. The third one is Gu Zhisong.
, it is the concubine Gu Zhifeng from the Changfang side.
Next down is Gu Zhihe, the concubine of the second wife, and finally the legitimate son of the second wife, Gu Zhilan, also the son of the Sun family. Both of them are young, thirteen, and one is only eight years old.
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "Then we will go out tomorrow."
Xie Yixiao's appetite was not good, and her mouth always felt bitter after taking the medicine. She only ate some porridge and side dishes for dinner at night, and rested all night. In the early morning of the next day, Gu Zhifeng came to pick her up.
Gu Zhifeng and Gu You are the same age and are only seventeen this year. He is a gentle man and has always been polite to others. When he met Xie Yixiao, he even showed a smile: "Cousin, today I will take you to the north of the city."
Originally, Jiang wanted Gu Zhixuan to send Xie Yixiao on a trip, but then he remembered what happened between the two of them, so he pointed to Gu Zhifeng and asked him to accompany him.
