Chapter 1168 Interrogation, the most poisonous woman’s heart
Looking at Wang Ruofu who was kneeling in the hall with fear and despair on his face, Hua Lan's eyes were full of unbearability and sadness.
This is her biological mother. Logically speaking, she shouldn't do this to her mother, but her mother's behavior is unbearable. Zhou Chen is her man, her husband, and the person she loves most.
It is her life's support.
Now Zhou Chen's life and death are uncertain. If it were another person, she would probably kill her directly, but Wang Ruofu is her biological mother after all. Even if the facts are in front of her, she still doesn't want to believe it, because
In her heart, her mother doesn't look like that kind of person.
The old lady was furious, and she didn't have much concern about Wang Ruofu, so she directly asked sternly.
"Madam, what do you have to say?"
Wang Ruofu burst into tears: "Mother, it's not me, it's really not me. Even if I had the courage, I would not dare to harm my mother, let alone the Duke of the country. He is my Hua'er's husband. I
She is Hua'er's biological mother, how could I harm the Duke?"
The old lady said coldly: "Of course you don't dare to harm Sanlang, because you want to harm me, an old woman, and Sanlang is just suffering on my behalf. Now Saburo's life or death is uncertain. No matter what the reason is, you can't escape, and Shengfu can't spare you."
You, the imperial court will not be able to spare you, and the entire Shengfu may even perish because of your actions."
Wang Ruofu was trembling all over and could not speak. It was obvious that he was extremely frightened inside.
Sheng Hong was also extremely frightened. He knew that the old lady was not being alarmist. If something happened to Zhou Chen, their whole family would be in trouble.
So he roared loudly: "You bitch, why don't you tell the truth quickly? Tell me, why did you want to harm your mother?"
Wang Ruofu's face was full of pain, but he refused to tell the truth.
Seeing Wang Ruofu preparing to carry him to death, Mother Liu who was guarding outside couldn't bear it anymore, pushed away the guard and rushed into the hall.
"Madam, madam, you should tell the truth. The Duke of Guo is your eldest son-in-law and the eldest girl's husband. He has become like this now. If something happens, how will the eldest girl live in the future?
Huh? Brother Bai and the whole family will also be implicated. Madam, you have to think clearly."
Wang Ruofu was shaken by Mother Liu and burst into tears, but still refused to speak.
Mother Liu was so anxious that she could only say to herself: "Old lady, this thing really wasn't done by the eldest lady. Although I don't know what happened, I can guess who instigated the eldest lady. It was the eldest lady.
My biological sister, the eldest lady of the Kang family."
The old lady's expression remained unchanged. She had already guessed this possibility. She had been Wang Ruofu's mother-in-law for so many years, so how could she not understand Wang Ruofu's character? Her daughter-in-law would never have the guts to kill her.
Hua Lan was shocked and said angrily: "Is it my aunt?"
Sheng Hong was also very shocked. This was something he didn't expect. Although he didn't have a good impression of that aunt, he never thought she could be so vicious.
"The eldest lady is the lady of the Kang family. The old lady did not allow the eldest lady to associate with Madam Kang, and I very much agreed with it. Although I also came from the Wang family as a dowry, I have to say one thing today, the eldest lady's
The eldest sister is becoming more and more miserable. I often persuade the eldest lady not to have any contact with her, but the eldest lady always refuses to listen because she thinks about the sisterhood. Whenever she talks to Mrs. Kang, she sends me away.
.”
The old lady asked: "So, you don't know about this matter?"
Liu's mother replied: "Although I didn't know about it at the time, I could guess that something like this happened. Old lady, master, eldest lady, you should all know eldest lady. She is not such a person at all.
"
Hualan didn't say anything, just looked at her mother. She also felt that her mother was not the kind of person who was plotting and cruel. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been bullied like that by a mere concubine Lin Sushuang all these years.
.
Sheng Hong said nothing with a cold face, and he didn't believe it either, but he felt that his wife did not have the wisdom and ability at all.
The old lady said: "Madam, the mothers around you have said it, but you still don't want to say it? Mother Liu is right. I still understand what kind of person you are. Even if you resent me in your heart, you want to
If you want to take revenge on me, you won’t really want to kill me. Tell me, who instigated you?”
She knew it was Aunt Kang, but these words had to come from Wang Ruofu's mouth.
Mother Liu pushed Wang Ruofu hard and urged loudly: "Madam, please tell me quickly, the Duke of Guo is your elder brother-in-law. Now that he has been killed like this, you still want to protect Madam Kang?"
Really? Which one is more important, the eldest girl, Brother Changbai and his family, or Mrs. Kang?"
"Madam, for the sake of our brothers and sisters, you'd better speak quickly."
Wang Ruofu's body kept trembling, and it took a long time for her to speak.
"That's me, my biological eldest sister, Mrs. Kang. She said that I was tortured by my mother and scolded and punished at every turn. Now that the official power is gone, my daughter-in-law can even step on my face. It's really...
A living loser."
Hearing this, Hai Chaoyun, the daughter-in-law, suddenly felt embarrassed. She never expected that she would be like this in the eyes of her mother-in-law.
Wang Ruofu continued to stutter.
"My mother's body is strong and strong. I don't know that I will survive until the year of the monkey, so, so, I, I..."
Sheng Hong slammed the table angrily and yelled: "So you two sisters got together and wanted to poison your mother, right?"
Wang Ruofu shook his head excitedly and retorted: "No, no, I won't, I don't dare, I really don't dare. She said that as long as the mother is weak and lingering on the bed from time to time, she doesn't have the strength to care about this.
, I can be the master of the house."
"Oh my god, mother, why are you so confused?"
Hualan wailed, then walked to Wang Ruofu, supported Wang Ruofu with both hands, and shouted excitedly: "Mother, now you see, the official almost died, if not the one who ate the hibiscus and lotus seed cake."
Officer, if it is my grandmother, is my grandmother still alive now? Mother, mother, you are really..."
The old lady covered her heart. Although she had guessed this possibility, she still felt a sharp pain in her heart when she really heard the truth from Wang Ruofu.
"old lady."
"Mother."
The old lady took a few breaths, waved her hands, and said: "I'm fine. I haven't seen San Lang wake up yet. He will be fine. If I don't avenge San Lang, I won't let anything happen to me. Madam, you still have
What didn’t you say?”
Wang Ruofu continued: "Mom, I don't want to. I really don't want to harm you. I just want to make you sick for a few days to make my life easier. My sister also told me at the time, that
Even if you eat the fruit, there will be nothing wrong. You will be weak for a few days at most. How did I know that it would be like this? I really didn’t want to harm my mother, let alone the Duke.”
Having said this, she suddenly seemed to have a little more courage, and her voice became louder, wailing in pain.
"I really deserve to die, I really deserve to die, Hua'er, my mother is sorry for you, my mother is sorry for you."
Hua Lan also cried bitterly. She had her husband on one side and her biological mother on the other. Among everyone, she was definitely the most uncomfortable and tormented.
"Mother, you are so confused, you are so confused. I have told you a long time ago not to associate with Aunt Kang again. Haven't you seen her face when she came to the Duke's Mansion several times? Why didn't you
If you listen to your daughter but don’t listen to your grandmother and insist on interacting with her, what will happen now?"
"I'm sorry, Hua'er. It's me who's sorry for you. It's all my fault. When the Duke wakes up, even if I kneel down to beg him, I won't make it difficult for you."
"Mother, what's the use of what you're saying now? How can I have the nerve to go back after something like this happened? I'll just throw myself into the river after I've avenged the official."
"Hua'er, Hua'er, don't talk nonsense, don't be like this. It's my mother who is sorry for you. Even if my mother dies, you can't..."
Looking at the mother and daughter holding each other's arms and crying, Hai Chaoyun secretly wiped her tears aside. She could understand her sister Hua Lan's embarrassment and pain. If it were her, she probably wouldn't want to live anymore.
"That's enough, that's enough."
The old lady slammed the table hard and shouted at Hua Lan: "Hua'er, you are the eldest lady of the Duke's Palace. Now that Sanlang has become like this, you are the head of the Duke's Palace. Look at what you look like now.
How can you still look like you are in charge of your family? What have you learned over the years?"
Of course she knew that Hualan was sad and in pain, but in her opinion, at this time, Hualan should be stronger, instead of being like this now, so she somewhat hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
"grandmother."
Hualan's expression was stiff, and she had been awake most of the time after being scolded by the old lady. But even though she knew it, the pain in her heart was still unbearable.
She has grown a lot over the years, but in most cases, she can't help but rely on Zhou Chen. As long as Zhou Chen is by her side, she is not afraid of anything.
But now that Zhou Chen has fallen, it feels like the sky has fallen to her, and she can't stabilize her emotions at all.
Seeing that Hualan was in low spirits, the old lady didn't scold her anymore, she just looked at Wang Ruofu.
"Madam, I'm not telling you, you are really stupid. Have you ever thought that Changbai's son, your grandson, often comes to my place to play. I usually have something delicious and fun to do.
I will give it to him; if Sanlang does not come today, but Brother Quan comes, and I give him the hibiscus lotus seed cake to eat, do you think Brother Quan can save his life like Sanlang?"
As soon as these words came out, several people in the hall were almost scared to death. Hai Chaoyun, as Quan Geer's biological mother, was so frightened that he held on to the table to avoid falling.
A picture appeared in her mind, and she suddenly broke into a cold sweat. The next moment, she immediately looked at her mother-in-law with strange eyes.
Sheng Hong was also shocked, no less frightened than when he saw Zhou Chen vomiting blood and fainting. After all, Brother Quan was his grandson.
As for Wang Ruofu, he shook his head in fear: "She, she is my biological sister, she can't do it, she can't do it."
Mother Liu was anxious: "That's Madam your grandson, not her grandson. How can she take it to heart? Even if something happens to Brother Quan, can Madam still go to confront her? Only
She is taking advantage of you."
The old lady even snorted coldly: "Stupid, confused, even the people around you know it, and you still think she doesn't know how to do it; hmph, if she succeeds and kills me, this old lady, then she will hold you and kill her."
You have no choice but to let your mother-in-law take advantage of her. When the time comes, let alone you, even Hua'er, Changbai, and everyone in the Sheng family will be used by her, have you thought about it?"
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
Speaking of shortness of breath, the old lady coughed continuously in excitement.
Sheng Hong cursed shamelessly and glared at Wang Ruofu fiercely. He couldn't even imagine what the scene would be like.
Wang Ruofu was even more desperate. Of course she knew what kind of person her sister, Mrs. Kang, was, but after all, she was a biological sister, so she still had a sisterhood.
But now that everything has been revealed, in addition to despair, she also has fear, fear, and regret...
After the old lady calmed down, she spoke again.
"Madam, no matter whether this matter is your idea or not, now that Sanlang's life or death is uncertain, you cannot escape the responsibility. Now, I will lock you in Shou'an Hall. You are not allowed to leave without my permission, Hong'er,
Do you have any opinions?"
Sheng Hong stood up in a hurry and replied: "My son has no objection and will obey his mother's arrangements in everything."
The old lady nodded and said, "Don't go out either. I'll ask you for leave tomorrow morning. As for when you can go, I'll tell you when Saburo wakes up."
Sheng Hong opened his mouth to say something, but when he met the old lady's eyes, he could only hold back his words.
"A son obeys his mother."
The old lady said: "Madam, I know you may still have illusions about your sister. In this case, let me give up completely. Yuancai, please bring her in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Cai walked in after a while. Behind him, a man was controlling a maid.
"Colorful ring?"
Several people in the room recognized this maid, it was Caihuan, the personal maid next to Wang Ruofu of Wei Ruixuan.
Sheng Hong looked at the old lady in confusion: "Mother, what is she?"
The old lady motioned to Yuan Cai, who immediately said: "We followed the order of the eldest lady and surrounded the Sheng Mansion. This woman tried to get out of the dog hole, but was caught on the spot by our people."
Hua Lan suddenly became furious. Just now, her thoughts were on Zhou Chen, so Yuan Cai reported the matter to the old lady in advance. She did not know about it in advance.
"Why are you going out? You want to go out and tell the truth, right?"
Caihuan retorted in great panic: "No, it's unfair, big girl, I wanted to leave because there was something urgent at home. My mother was sick, so I was anxious to go back."
Of course Hua Lan would not believe her words, and angrily said: "If you are in a hurry to go back, why do you need to dig into a dog hole? How dare you lie?"
"I, I didn't lie, I really..."
"fart."
Mother Liu suddenly stood up: "Caihuan, your mother died two years ago, and the eldest lady asked me to give you five taels of silver to make silk gold."
When the lie was exposed, Caihuan changed her story and said, "She is my godmother. She is my godmother. My godmother is also my mother."
Seeing that she still dared to quibble, Hua Lan immediately shouted: "Yuancai, I want to hear the truth."
Yuan Cai immediately bowed and replied: "Yes, Madam."
After saying that, he started to use his methods towards Caihuan. He was Zhou Chen's personal soldier. He had followed Zhou Chen to fight in the frontier and survived. Although he was not a professional interrogator, he was interrogating a little maid.
It's still something that can be easily grasped.
After a while, Caihuan couldn't help but cry out in pain, and then told the truth.
