In the past, Zhao Sui'er didn't pay much attention to the Yang family. She didn't come to greet her on the first or fifth day of the lunar month, let alone serve her mistress. But now she has changed her behavior and often goes to the Yang family, always causing trouble.
Zhao Sui'er gave up after making some noise. Yang also knew that she was pretending to be soft and pitiful, so she didn't want her to come here. Then Zhao Sui'er cried and ran to Xue Cheng and talked nonsense, saying that Yang was embarrassing her, which made Xue Cheng think Yang was
The family cannot tolerate people.
But the maids and servants kneeling in the courtyard are either waiting outside without knowing the truth, or they are fighting for their respective masters. But Xue Cheng's heart is towards Zhao Sui'er, no matter what the Yang family does
, and refused to believe what Yang said.
Seeing Yang's aggrieved look, Qingrong felt melancholy in her heart. She could only comfort her: "Third sister-in-law, I believe in you. I know that you are of pure character and will definitely not do such a thing."
It's not a secret that Xue Cheng doesn't like her. According to her usual obedient attitude towards Xue Cheng, there is really no need to harm Zhao Sui'er so blatantly. Isn't this just shooting herself in the foot? Yang was in tears.
Shaking his head, "But he doesn't believe me..."
Qingrong said: "The innocent will self-exonerate themselves. This matter has not yet been decided. As long as evidence is found, it will definitely prove that the third sister-in-law is innocent. You can't mess up your position now and let people who intend to harm you succeed."
Yang looked at her clear and firm eyes, and was absent-minded for a moment, as if she saw hope again. She wiped away her tears, nodded and said, "That's what you said."
Seeing that she was gradually calming down, Qingrong said warmly: "Some people are ignorant, but my sister-in-law and I believe in my sister-in-law. Don't be discouraged. You are just thinking about getting justice for yourself and preserving your reputation."
Yang thanked her sincerely: "Thank you Sanniang, you are still willing to stand by me at this time."
Qingrong smiled and said, "I know how my third sister-in-law treats me, and now you don't have to say such disrespectful words to me."
After comforting Yang, Yang and Qingrong went to Zhao Suier's room. Qingrong asked Xue Shao, "Do you want to go back first?"
Xue Shao shook his head and said, "I'll wait here for you to go back together."
Qingrong didn't think much, nodded in agreement, and went with Yang. At this time, Su's group was also there. Zhao Sui'er was awake and lying on the couch rather haggardly. When she saw Yang coming, her face changed.
Turning pale, he hurriedly wanted to come down to salute Mr. Yang, but Xue Cheng persuaded him to come down.
As soon as Qingrong entered the door, she saw the maid standing beside Zhao Sui'er's bed. Looking at her figure... Qingrong thought she looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere.
Seeing her pretentious posture, Mrs. Yang couldn't help but feel angry, gritting her teeth and refusing to speak. Seeing this, Qingrong stepped forward and said caringly: "Is Miss Zhao feeling better? Third sister-in-law is worried about you, so she came here just to have a look. You don't have to be like this.
Nervous. You look so frightened, it seems that you have done something bad and you are afraid that the third sister-in-law will come to accuse you."
The eyes of Zhao Sui'er and Qing Rong met. Qing Rong's eyes were sharp and clear, as if she had seen through something. She remembered that the maid came back this afternoon and said that she saw Madam Lu just returning home... I don't know if Qing Rong knew anything.
This made her feel a little more panicked.
Xue Cheng frowned when he heard this and looked at Qingrong dissatisfied, "What do you mean by these words?"
Zhao Sui'er calmed down and said: "Ms. Lu is joking, how can I dare to do anything? I'm just afraid that someone like me will make the lady angry again."
Qingrong was not angry, and said calmly: "Third brother, don't be upset, but I just want to remind Zhao Xiaoniang that miscarriage can harm your body, so you still have to take care of your body, and don't worry too much."
Zhao Sui'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she saw that Qing Rong's face was calm and there was no trace of emotion at all. She was a little unsure for a moment, so she responded with a weak and fragile attitude, "It's all my fault..."
Men may fall for this trick, but these women in the room are very clear-minded. Seeing that she is about to start again, Mrs. Su can't bear it and interrupts: "Miss Zhao, it's better to save your energy and worry. She is weak after giving birth. She is so weak this morning."
I have to cry, even at night, what if I am blinded by crying?"
Qingrong noticed that Zhao Sui'er's confidant maid had been nervous since she saw her arrival and looked at her from time to time. Qingrong felt more and more suspicious that something was going on. She looked at the maid and asked tentatively: "Which doctor is here today?"
For Zhao Xiaoniang to see?"
The maidservant was really panicked and didn't dare to look at her. She hesitated and said, "Yes...it's Dr. Du from Dongjiekou."
Su Shi said suspiciously: "That Dr. Du? Isn't that Dr. Jiang from Shang'anfang that the family always invites?"
Then Zhao Sui'er hurriedly explained, "I heard people talking about Dr. Du's excellent medical skills, so I invited him to see a doctor. Is there something wrong with him?"
Xue Chengye said: "Yes, he was also the one who diagnosed Sui'er to be pregnant. I also met him."
Seeing this, Qingrong also had a guess in her mind. She kindly reminded her: "Of course it's inappropriate. You also know that the third brother is interested in you. Now you have found a doctor who doesn't know the details. If he is a charlatan, there is no real reason."
All I can do is defraud money. This deception is small. What if it causes any disease? You know you are pregnant, why are you so careless about your heir?"
Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Su were already doubtful. When they asked this question, they felt that the matter was even more strange. Mrs. Su hurriedly said: "Yes, what my brothers and sisters said makes sense. I think this is Doctor Du whose origin is unknown. I'll see you tomorrow morning."
Send your servants to ask for a doctor. He has good medical skills and knows the basics, so he is more reliable. Let him take a closer look and see what is going on, so that my third brother can feel at ease!"
Xue Cheng also felt that it was reasonable, and Mrs. Yang had no objection. Zhao Sui'er panicked when she heard this, and she hurriedly refused, which made Xue Cheng also feel that something was wrong. Ms. Lu didn't say anything at the side, as if she understood, but
Unexpectedly, she actually stopped the matter, saying that she would handle it herself, and asked everyone to go back first, and ordered all the servants in the courtyard to disperse.
The mother had spoken, and her son and daughter-in-law had no choice but to obey. Qingrong and Mrs. Su sent Yang back to the house first. Along the way, Mrs. Yang seemed to be smiling but not smiling, quite self-deprecating, as if she knew something, and Mrs. Su was also sullen.
say…
After sending Yang back to the house, Qingrong and Su came out side by side. Qingrong felt that Lu's reaction was wrong and asked, "What do you think, sister-in-law, of what happened today?"
Su Shi shook her head and said, "Do you know who Zhao Sui'er is?"
Qingrong was puzzled and looked at Su.
Su Shi said: "Zhao Sui'er is the daughter of my mother's cousin. My mother usually has a good relationship with them. She also turns a blind eye to what happens in A Miao's yard. This time... it's hard to tell."
Speaking of which, if both Lu and Xue Cheng hadn't indulged Zhao Sui'er, Yang wouldn't have been bullied by Zhao Sui'er.
Qingrong was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say. Su sighed at her young age and advised: "Go back and rest first. We will know tomorrow. Look, Shiro is still waiting for you."
Qingrong looked in the direction and found that the man was still standing at the same place waiting for him. The dim yellow light in the courtyard shone on his face and shoulders, giving him a halo... For some reason, at this moment
That tall figure actually made her heavy heart relax a little.
Qingrong smiled, said goodbye to Su, and returned to Lide Hall with Xue Shao. Xue Shao didn't ask much about what happened just now, and the two of them were silent all the way. After returning to the room, Xue Shao noticed that Qingrong was absent-minded and asked:
"what's on your mind?"
Qingrong did not answer, but suddenly said to him: "Can I borrow Xue Chang from you tomorrow to help me do something? Is that okay?"
Xue Shao looked at him with dark eyes and said without asking more, "Okay."
"Why don't you ask me what's going on first?"
"If you want me to know, you will tell me naturally. If you don't tell me, you just don't want me to know. I asked, did you answer?" He said it straightforwardly, without any irony, as if he was just stating the facts.
I have to admit that although Xue Shao sometimes lacks energy and salt, he is very shrewd and transparent. He lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you very much."
Xue Shao lay down on the bed carelessly, resting his head on his hands, disapprovingly, "Thank you for what? You said that I want to live a good life with you, so I should respect you and love you. Then what I can do is what I should do.
.”
Qingrong couldn't help but smile, saying that he couldn't speak, and sometimes the truth was the same. She didn't say anything more, and the two of them turned off the lights and took a rest.
The next day, when Qingrong got up, she sent someone to inquire about things there. I heard that the old lady had invited Yang to go early in the morning. I don’t know what she said. When Yang came back, her face was pale.
Didn't say anything either.
Qingrong and Xue Shao borrowed Xue Chang and asked Yun Niang and Songyue to take Xue Chang to Dongjiekou to find the man they saw yesterday afternoon.
Doctor Du, there is no need to take him back to the Xue family. Ask him to honestly explain Zhao Sui'er's situation. Yun Niang is alert and capable. She brought the money given by Qing Rong, under the banner of Lu's family, and with Xue Chang
The military attache holding the token was there, using both soft and hard tactics, threats and inducements, but Dr. Du was so frightened that he honestly explained the matter.
It turns out that Zhao Sui'er is not pregnant at all! She didn't have her period and thought she was pregnant, but she was happy for nothing, but she deliberately claimed that she was pregnant and colluded with Dr. Du to frame Yang and cause her to have a miscarriage.
, wanted to take the opportunity to overthrow Yang and replace him.
Yun Niang and Song Yue told Qing Rong about the matter. Qing Rong expected that the matter was not simple, but did not expect it to be like this. This Zhao Sui'er was simply daring! Yun Niang asked: "Sanniang, what are your plans now?
"
I heard that Mrs. Lu stayed in Zhao Sui'er's room for a long time yesterday before leaving. Mrs. Yang reacted like this again this morning. It's hard not to think too much. Qingrong didn't say anything, but planned to go and see Yang first.
Well, let’s see what happens.
When Qing Rong went there, Ms. Yang looked devastated, and she didn't even realize that tears were streaming down her face. Qing Rong stepped forward and said quickly: "What's wrong, sister-in-law? It's okay, why are you so sad?"
Yang choked up and said: "This morning my mother-in-law told me to let this matter go by as it is, and advised me not to pursue it any further. Externally, she said it was Zhao Xiaoniang who was careless, and she was so persuasive that she would persuade Sanlang to live a good life with me... But,
But I didn’t harm Zhao Sui’er at all, so can I just swallow my anger and let others blame me, and I can’t hold her accountable?”
It seems that Mrs. Lu is very likely to have known the truth of the matter, but she chose to protect Zhao Sui'er. Zhao Sui'er did such a thing and did not pursue it. Instead, she wanted to turn the story over. How could Ms. Yang not think about it?
Wronged…
"Third sister-in-law, Zhao Sui'er deliberately harmed you. You have a reason to want to pursue this matter, but don't you... don't want to pursue it?"
Yang shook his head, "Of course I do, but this is what Auntie wants. If I want to live with Xue Cheng, I have to ignore it."
Qingrong finally couldn't help it anymore. She actually wanted to know from the beginning, "Third sister-in-law...do you have this deep affection for your third brother?" He has treated you like this and misunderstood you several times, but you still want to live with him.
