Chapter 592: What does extermination of relatives mean?
What does extermination of relatives mean?
Seeing the reactions of her children today, An felt that she had completely understood the meaning of this idiom today.
She turned to look at her husband, only to see that her husband's attention was on Xie Songhua's hand feeling her daughter's pulse.
An immediately burst into tears with a cry, "It's really not me! You all don't believe me! I have stayed in this family for more than 20 years. I have worked hard and never complained. I have served my husband, my children, and stayed with me."
The parents-in-law also have to take care of the slaves.
Although I am not very virtuous! But I have never made any big mistakes in all these years, so why do you suspect that I will harm others? Haven’t I spent all these years in vain? "
In fact, Mrs. Xie also feels that it is not like her eldest daughter-in-law did it. Seriously speaking, if there is no contradiction, the second daughter-in-law who is confused in the mind and her favorite third daughter-in-law are better than the eldest daughter-in-law.
More likely.
It's not that An's character is really good, he doesn't necessarily have the courage.
This person has been oppressed by the Qi family for so many years, so he only knows how to make some useless eye drops and make some sarcastic comments outside.
She had never thought of such a sinister way to deal with the Qi family. There was no reason to do anything to her mother-in-law, who had raised a concubine for her.
Hearing An's wailing voice, Mrs. Xie felt a headache and simply slapped the table, "You still have the nerve to cry? I, a white-haired person who was poisoned and suffered twice, didn't even cry!
You don’t want to think about it, if you are fine, why would someone frame it on your head? If you don’t think carefully about who might have slipped your belongings, you are still wronged here.”
An's mind suddenly lit up at this moment. When she heard the old lady's words, her eyes immediately lit up, "So, mother, don't you suspect that I did it?"
Mrs. Xie simply answered her with a roll of her eyes and didn't want to say any more.
An immediately turned from worry to joy, and just as she was about to say something, she heard a faint voice coming from the side, "Grandma, although everyone doesn't believe that it was my eldest aunt who did this, but...
No matter what, the things were dug out of my aunt’s house after all. For the sake of my grandmother’s health in the future, it’s better to check them carefully!”
As soon as she opened her mouth, she immediately attracted the attention of others.
Xie Songhua immediately felt his wrist tighten, and when he raised his eyes, he met Xie Qionghua's pointed eyes.
"It seems that Fifth Sister has some good way to get to the bottom of this matter?"
Xie Songhua's words caused panic to flash across Xie Li's face.
She quickly stood up, bowed to the elders present, and then said with a blushing face: "I just said it casually, please don't misunderstand me.
In the final analysis, I am only worried about my grandmother's health. What's more, the wind outside is very tight right now, and it is the time when many pairs of eyes are watching our house.
If the news that my aunt framed my grandmother were to spread now, I'm afraid the outside world would say that our family has become lax in running the family. My eldest aunt has always been an outspoken person, and she really doesn't seem to have the temperament to do such a thing, but..."
She pursed her lips and did not continue.
The Shou'an Hall became quiet for a while. Xie Yuncang glanced at his little daughter, his eyes dark and unclear.
Seeing some hesitation in the old lady's eyebrows, he rushed ahead and said: "What the fourth girl said may have hurt the feelings of the family, but... Li'er is like this, and my sister-in-law..."
Xie Changqing stood up immediately before he finished speaking and said: "Irregular family tradition is the root of chaos in the family. Second brother, this matter happened to our eldest brother, and it is my brother's fault. But this must not happen again in the house."
matter, so today’s matter must be investigated thoroughly.”
After he finished speaking, he bowed to Mrs. Xie above and said, "Mother, it's about your comfort. My son doesn't dare to be careless. From today on, the eldest brother and I will find another yard to live in. All the things in the yard
They haven't moved, and all the servants and wives have been checked by the mansion. I hope mother won't worry too much."
Mrs. Xie hesitated, "This is... not necessary!"
His own son knows that although the eldest son is a little mediocre, he is really an upright character.
Although he is always complained or even scolded by his wife on weekdays, the eldest brother's life has always been relatively harmonious, and his son must have something in his heart.
"Mom, you should listen to elder brother!" Xie Feiwu, who had been silent for the whole time, also stood up. "Otherwise, elder brother will inevitably feel uneasy all the time. It is better to take this opportunity to conduct a thorough investigation and clear my sister-in-law's name."
The only one who was really unwilling was An, who was named as the culprit at this time.
It wasn't that she was afraid of being found out as the so-called real evidence, but what Xie Changqing said just now was a bit too much.
What about the private money she worked so hard to save?
She keeps accounts of all these, and every detail is clear.
If someone uncovered it, wouldn't it be impossible to hide the money from her secretly greedy father-in-law?
An was so anxious that he wanted to jump, but the matter was decided directly by the words of his brothers.
"In this case, there is no need to clean up the yard separately. My banquet terrace is not small. It should be no problem for my uncle and his family to make do with it for a few days."
The rush of words had already come to this point, and no matter how reluctant An was, she could only look on with grievances as the people from Shou'antang went to arrange a place for their family.
Xie Wenhua simply grabbed his mother's arm and said, "Okay, okay, it's not time for you to cry, haven't you seen that everyone doesn't believe you did this? When it's found out that it was really you, you
Cry slowly again.”
Anshi choked back her tears when her son choked her, "What nonsense are you talking about?! I didn't do this in the first place!"
However, Xie Wenhua seemed not to have heard this excuse at all, and just kept urging his mother to leave quickly.
And here, Xie Yuncang also arranged for his people to check the medicine according to An's line. Naturally, all the people under Changfang Qiang would be taken away for interrogation one by one.
This noisy group ended up with this result.
Naturally, the people in the third room had nothing to say, they just watched the excitement.
Like everyone else, I don’t quite believe that An’s family would have done this.
The Qi family was still recuperating in the Summer Palace, so apart from Xie Yuncang, there were only Xie Langhua and Xie Li in the second room.
After everyone dispersed, Xie Langhua stopped Xie Li directly.
"Second brother? What's going on?"
Seeing her frank look, Xie Langhua felt for a moment that he was being too preoccupied.
But thinking about the scene just now, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did the fourth sister suddenly stand up and speak just now?"
Xie Li lowered his eyes, seemed to think for a while, then looked at his brother seriously and said: "Since it is the second brother who asked, I won't tell lies.
I do have some selfish intentions. The eldest aunt said that the eldest sister is already old, but the second brother, I am not too young. At present, because of the death of the queen, the wedding has been postponed. If something happens again in the family, who knows?
When will the wedding be postponed?
The daughter's family's prime time cannot be delayed! I don't know what kind of person my eldest aunt is, I just hope that this matter will not affect my leaving the cabinet."
She answered so calmly, which actually reassured Xie Langhua. He gently patted his sister on the shoulder, "There is nothing wrong with you thinking this way, but you just need to speak more tactfully next time, otherwise it will inevitably cause people to worry."
Xie Li thanked him with a smile, and when he returned to his yard, the expression on his face immediately turned cold, and then he called Xiaozhu, "Hurry up and write a letter to tell everything about today. I want to get it as soon as possible."
