"Old slave is Chunlan, a girl. She grew up under the old lady's nose. She is honest and abides by the rules. I never ask her to climb high. I just want to find someone for her to live with in the future..."
After more than ten years, the temperament of Grandma Jiang and even Mrs. Shen, the same thing may be said differently, and the final result may be very different.
Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, thinking that Chunlan climbed into Shen Zhonglei's bed and was punished by Mrs. Xu.
Although Shen Zhonglei only has one son, Mrs. Shen is also a little dissatisfied.
However, Shen Zhonglei is now in his prime, and Mrs. Shen maintains her identity and does not want to be known as interfering in her son's affairs, so she has not interfered.
But the girl's climbing into bed was unruly and something she couldn't tolerate.
This is because Aunt Jiang has served her for many years. If it were someone else, she would have no patience to listen anymore.
Aunt Jiang continued: "I have already set my sights on a young man. I am just waiting for my master to be promoted next year, so I beg the old lady's grace to let Chunlan come back and marry her! Who knows, just because the girl accidentally found her home
There is something wrong with the account book, the second lady, the second lady actually..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen slightly realized that there was something wrong in her writing. From what Aunt Jiang said, it didn't sound like Chunlan had not learned her lesson and climbed into the master's bed, but more like Mrs. Xu had made Chunlan look bad and had her identity changed.
?
If this is the case, Mrs. Shen's previous anger towards Mrs. Xu can be reduced a bit, and if nothing else, she can at least have a general understanding.
"The second lady actually indulged her nephew and ruined my Chunlan family. Not only Chunlan, that beast also acted recklessly in the second master's back house. In addition to Chunlan, he also ruined several maids...
…” Aunt Jiang fell to the ground and cried loudly, “That girl Chunlan, old lady, you know that she is an honest person and doesn’t dare to cause trouble. She doesn’t dare to say a word when she is being ruined. She can only swallow her tears and blood…”
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Shen finally couldn't sit still anymore. She sat up straight, interrupted Grandma Jiang, and asked sternly: "What did you say! Impossible!"
Mrs. Shen is a person who has been following rules all her life. She really can't believe that such a thing would happen.
"No matter how confused the second daughter-in-law is, she has her own daughter at home. How could she allow her foreigner to behave so wildly in the back house!"
As Mrs. Shen said these words, she suddenly remembered the letter she had just read, and her tone immediately hesitated.
The Xu family had already taught Shen Yunyao this virtue, forcing the second son to send the child back to his hometown for his own discipline.
Is she really incapable of doing such a ridiculous thing?
But after all, Mrs. Xu was the daughter-in-law she personally selected. The reason was that she was not as aloof and aloof as Liu Yaxuan, and she had a low eyebrow and was able to care for her husband and raise her children well.
I have only been away from home for a few years, how could it be like this!
Aunt Jiang hurriedly complained: "Old lady, everything the old slave said is true, and I dare not say anything false. Not only did the second lady's natal nephew do mischief in the back house, but when he left a year ago, the second lady also treated him as a child.
Several maids he had abused were given to him and asked to be taken back to the Xu family.
"But Chunlan's bond of sale is still in the hands of the old lady. Chunlan also begged the second lady not to let her go to the Xu family. She was willing to return to the old house and serve the old lady all her life without getting married. But the second lady let Han in the room
Coincidentally, a pot of poison was poured down, and Chunlan was put into the carriage going back to the Xu family.
"My poor Chunlan has had a bad temper since she was a child. After waking up in the middle of the road, she would rather jump out of the car than leave. She even sprained her foot when she escaped. She had no money and no official guide, and she didn't dare to go back to the second place.
At the master's house, I could only beg all the way back to Qi County..."
Mrs. Shen initially looked surprised, but then her expression became calmer and calmer, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking.
Hearing that Aunt Jiang suddenly became silent, Mrs. Shen asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you say anything?"
Aunt Jiang hesitated for a moment and said: "The following words are really...I am afraid that I will dirty the old lady's ears."
Old Mrs. Shen snorted coldly and said: "I have lived for such a long time and I have never heard of any scandalous things. Just tell me and I want to listen. This is not enough. There is nothing worse!"
"After Chunlan came home, the old slave didn't dare to say anything and kept hiding her at home. The old slave was also afraid. After all, the child had been away from home for several years. What if he learned bad things outside and came back to talk nonsense and slander the master?
, so I also asked someone to inquire..."
Old Mrs. Shen rubbed her brows and said, "Listening to what you say will really make me anxious to death!"
"The old slave found out that less than a month after the second lady's natal nephew went home to celebrate the New Year, on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a maid suddenly caught wind and died... I also heard that the second lady gave her a gift.
Several maids were beaten to death by the Xu family..."
"What?" Even though the old lady Xu felt that she was well-informed, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up when she heard this.
"How old is the nephew of the second daughter-in-law, just..." Even though Old Mrs. Shen was really old, she was really embarrassed to say that word, "Besides, even a servant who signed a death contract cannot
If you kill someone casually, isn’t this a disregard for human life?”
The more Mrs. Shen talked, the more she regretted it, and she kept saying: "It's all my fault that I was obsessed with it. I just thought that although the Xu family's family background was a little low, my daughter was well-educated and could take good care of the second child in a gentle and careful manner.
It also avoids wronging that girl Tianshu.
"When I was in the old house, everything seemed fine to me, but why has it become like this now! If such a shocking thing were to spread, wouldn't it affect the reputation of the second child!"
"The old lady has always planned for the second master. It's a pity that this man will change."
"This year is the critical time for the second child to make further progress. The back house is like this, full of loopholes. We don't even have to wait for others to find it. We just have to send it to them!"
Because of this matter, Old Mrs. Shen stayed in the house for too long today. All the juniors who came to pay their respects had arrived, and Pearl hadn't heard Old Mrs. Shen calling someone.
The eldest lady Dong stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Miss Pearl, is the old lady not feeling well today?"
"No, maybe it's because the second master sent a letter back, and the old lady was delayed reading the letter!"
Pearl said with some hesitation. After all, Mrs. Shen had never been in such a situation except for being sick.
After a while, Grandma Jiang came out of the room and said: "The old lady said that there is no need to say hello this morning, and everyone can go back separately. Madam, please stay, the old lady wants you to come in."
Aunt Jiang's red and swollen eyes and the unwiped tears on her face made everyone in the Shen family, who were already a little uneasy, even more frightened.
