Chapter four hundred and eighty-eight, the traitor in the house
"I've met my father!" Yu Xijiao stepped forward and bowed sideways.
Yu Ruiwen turned over and sat up, and the boy used a cushion to raise him up. The injury was almost healed, it had scarred, and as long as he didn't use any force, he could lean on it, and he could even get up and walk a few steps with support.
"Where is he?" Yu Ruiwen asked in a deep voice.
Yu Xijiao whispered a few words to Qingyue, and Qingyue stepped back. Not long after, she and a boy came in escorting a woman.
After entering the door, the young man kicked the mother-in-law in the crook of the leg. The mother-in-law staggered and knelt down on the ground. When she saw Yu Ruiwen in front of her, she hurriedly fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Slave... I have seen the Marquis.
.”
Mrs. Zhou came in and bowed deeply to Yu Ruiwen.
Then he turned to the mother-in-law and asked sharply: "What were you doing last night?"
"Madam... I went to bed early. I was not feeling well last night... I went to bed earlier than... than others." The mother-in-law stammered, her heart pounding.
"Did you fall asleep very early?" Mrs. Zhou sneered, "I heard that you were feeling a little unwell yesterday afternoon?"
"Yes...slave... I felt a little unwell early yesterday. I asked the steward for leave before. I also rested for a while in the afternoon. Then I felt unwell again and fell asleep early at night. Many people were worried about this at that time.
I know." The mother-in-law said hurriedly. In order to make things more realistic, she gave everyone the impression early on that she was in poor health.
"When did you start feeling unwell?" Mrs. Zhou looked at her coldly and asked.
"Just... at noon, I don't know if I ate anything... slave... slave, I felt bad all of a sudden. I felt very uncomfortable, and later I vomited. If madam can't help it, you can go and check." Grandma.
Zi said hurriedly.
"I asked." Mrs. Zhou said coldly.
The mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had been prepared. She lowered her head in grievance, "I don't know what happened. Why did you tie me here? I'm just taking care of myself. I haven't been anywhere. Why is there something wrong?"
Put the blame on slave, slave..."
Having said this, the mother-in-law wiped away her tears in grievance, "This slave is really unjust."
"Have you really never gone out?" Yu Xijiao suddenly asked with a smile.
"I haven't...never been out. Many people can testify for me." Hearing Yu Xijiao's voice, the mother-in-law became nervous all over.
"Can you swear?" Yu Xijiao said slowly.
"I swear that I didn't go out yesterday afternoon." The mother-in-law raised her hand and swore very quickly, and she breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of thing that you can get through by swearing is not a big deal.
They say that the third girl is not easy to fool, but that's just saying that.
"Then what is this? Why haven't you gone out since it rained, but your shoes under the bed are wet? There is mud under your feet, and it's not dry yet?" Mrs. Zhou said sharply, and a woman threw a pair of shoes from behind.
Come here and hit the mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law was stunned and almost lost her voice in fright. It took her a long time to react and stammered: "This... this is not..."
"Master Marquis, madam, and the third girl, she did go out last night. When I got up at night, I didn't see her. Then I woke up again and saw her sneaking in. It was almost dawn."
Another woman was kneeling in front of the bed. She was sleeping with this woman.
There were both human and physical evidence, but how could the old woman endure it? Her body became limp and trembling.
Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and everyone else retreated. Then she turned to Yu Ruiwen and reported what she found: "Master Marquis, she is the wife's companion. She is not the only one who came from the palace with the wife.
, and their whole family are all in the Hou Mansion now."
"Master, please forgive me, Madam, please forgive me." The old lady turned pale with fright, and knelt down and kowtowed.
"Say!" Yu Ruiwen said sharply.
"Master Hou, I really don't know what happened. A few days ago... Zhengyuan Hou's Mansion sent someone over, saying it was Madam Ning's wish and asked my servant to help with something. He also said it was Madam's wish.
I don’t know if it’s true, but the lady gave her instructions before, saying that what Madam Ning meant is what she means.”
The mother-in-law said in a panic, how could she dare to hide it, "Last night when it was dark, I went to the Yaoshui Pavilion and took someone to the side door. Open the side door, and someone from the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion would pick him up. This is done.
... I thought that I was just taking a maid to conquer the Marquis' Mansion, so I didn't care about it. Moreover, I didn't find anyone last night and I don't know where I went. I beg the Marquis to spare my slave."
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily to Yu Ruiwen again.
"No one found?" Yu Xijiao asked with a half-smile.
"Yes... we didn't find anyone... I can swear, I really didn't find anyone."
"Mrs. Qian's words at the beginning could make you do this kind of thing. Next time, if the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion sends someone to say something again, you can kill everyone in our family?" Yu Xijiao
asked lightly.
The mother-in-law was so horrified that her face immediately turned pale: "Slave... slave... slave... I don't dare..."
"Tell me, who gave you the news? Ning's words are not that big yet. You are now a member of the mansion, and you have long been no longer a servant of the Qian mansion. The life and death of your family are all in the hands of your father.
.”
Yu Xijiao spoke softly.
A light word, but as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold, the mother-in-law was shaken, and she couldn't bear to shed tears, and kowtowed heavily to Yu Ruiwen on the bed: "Master Marquis, this is all done by this slave, and my family doesn't know anything.
, they don’t know, it was all done by this slave alone, indeed...it was the news from the Qian Mansion, asking...my slave to help Mrs. Ning once."
"Who in the Qian Mansion spread the news?" Madam Zhou immediately grasped the key point and asked.
"Yes... she is a sister that I had a good relationship with before. She... she is a person close to Mrs. Qian. She has mentioned me a lot before." The mother-in-law said while wiping her tears, and explained the cause of the matter in detail.
Chu.
There was a woman in Minister Qian's house who had a very good relationship with her in the past. This time it was her message that Mrs. Ning had something to do and asked her to help. She also said that this was Mrs. Qian's wish as well.
He said nothing would happen and simply showed the way and opened the door.
The rest of the things have nothing to do with her.
Yesterday, she found an uncomfortable excuse to lie down early in order to be afraid that someone would notice something unusual. When it was almost time, she went out, but she couldn't find anyone. Then she went to the side door and opened it, and Mrs. Yu's people also came with her.
Looking for it, the two of them wandered around the Yaoshui Pavilion for a long time, but found nothing. In the end, they had no choice but to separate and go back.
"Master Marquis, I really just came out to wander around and didn't do anything. I beg Madam Marquis to spare this slave." After saying this, the mother-in-law knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Come here, pull her down and kill her with a cane." Yu Ruiwen's eyes were split open after hearing this, and he slapped the edge of the bed hard and said sternly.
A boy came over and pulled her out.
"Master Marquis, have mercy on me, Master Marquis, have mercy on me." The mother-in-law begged for mercy loudly and sharply.
"Shut her mouth." Yu Ruiwen's face was livid and he said with hatred. Now that he thought about it, he was filled with fear. His little daughter almost got into trouble in his own house. This made him a father.
See her face to face.
"Father, give me twenty sticks!" Yu Xi said calmly.
"Jiao'er, my father has the final say in this matter, why do you keep such a pickpocketing evil slave?" Yu Ruiwen was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead.
"Father, of course we can't keep such an evil slave, but there's no need to kill him with a stick. He's always someone sent by the Qian Mansion. Even if he's a member of our family now, he still has to tell Mrs. Qian about this.
Yes, let her sign and deposit it first, leave a piece of evidence, and then send the person to the Qian Mansion, so that the Qian Mansion will not blame us for executing their people privately." Yu Xijiao said.
A hint of darkness flashed in her eyes. Mrs. Qian was not easy to deal with. All the people pointing were pointing at her, but it was not all her, but the mother-in-law beside her.
"Since you have entered the Xuanpinghou Mansion, you are a servant of the Xuanping Hou Mansion. If you are still a member of the Qian Mansion and have people from the Qian Mansion at your call, what is the use of such a person?" Yu Ruiwen said angrily, getting more and more excited.
The more I think about it, the more angry and irritated I am. Why is Mrs. Qian involved again? Are the people around her so bold and dare to do such a thing privately?
"Father, don't be angry. The stick twenty will give Mrs. Qian a life. At least she should be allowed to breathe. Let Mrs. Qian ask clearly for herself. This also means that we are really not wrong." Yu Xi said softly and gracefully.
Advise.
The softer she spoke, the angrier Yu Ruiwen became. The Qian Mansion's companion came into his house and actually worked wholeheartedly for the Qian Mansion. Even if Mrs. Qian saved him, he still couldn't swallow this breath. Where is this?
You are sending a companion to your own house, you are sending a spy to your own house!
If Zhou had said this, Yu Ruiwen would definitely not agree, but it was his youngest daughter who spoke. Thinking that she almost had an accident this time, Yu Ruiwen felt ashamed of his little daughter, and pressed down the anger in his chest:
"Okay, it's up to you. Let her sign and sign first, and then give her twenty canons."
After saying that, he was still angry and looked up at Mrs. Zhou: "Return all the companions of Mr. Qian."
He couldn't doubt Mrs. Qian, and all his ill-will was directed at these companions: "Qian's companions are only for the Qian Mansion. Our mansion cannot accept them, and we don't dare to accept them. We will throw that woman back when the time comes."
When the time comes, return all those wives and companions, we don’t want them in our house.”
Yu Ruiwen said angrily.
"Master Hou, is this... not good?" Mrs. Zhou hesitated.
"What's not so good? A servant, in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, is still serving his original master. He even listens to the original master's mother-in-law. What's the point of coming here?" Yu Ruiwen became more and more angry as he thought about it.
The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became. A woman in the Qian Mansion dared to do this to her youngest daughter, and she really thought that he, Marquis Xuanping, was dead.
If the younger daughter hadn't been cautious, something would have really happened to her this time.
It was either the Qian family or the Qian family, and Yu Ruiwen was really angry. He even felt like he was getting irritated when he heard the word "money".
"Mrs. Hou was dowrying people at that time, and some of them were arranged in shops and villages outside, but not in the mansion." Mrs. Zhou said cautiously. She had just checked the accompanying room, and some people were outside.
"Those who stay in the mansion will be sent back first. As for the others, we will talk about it later." Yu Ruiwen waved his hand impatiently. Anyway, his Xuanping Marquis Mansion could not keep such a person with two minds.
"Master Hou, what's the reason?" Mrs. Zhou looked at Yu Xijiao uneasily and asked. This chapter has been completed!
