Yuan Xueqing couldn't help but squeeze the handkerchief tightly, feeling filled with anger.
Wei came to join forces with her, saying that she wanted to help her get rid of Qiao Yuning's fetus.
She gave her the medicine, and she also took care of the two nuns. As long as nothing unexpected happened, Qiao Yuning's baby would be born sooner or later.
What happened to something about cakes again? What are you going to do?!
This is not how you take care of yourself!
Yuan Xueqing could only be glad that she didn't have a fever yesterday and brought the cakes to Qiao Yuning. Otherwise, she would have jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't even wash it off!
After some interrogation, surprisingly, no one was found.
During the making process of the plate of cakes, people were coming and going, and each other could be monitored. Moreover, no incriminating evidence was found in the house of several people in the kitchen.
This turned out to be an unsolved case.
In the end, everyone in the kitchen was punished.
It's just that everyone's thoughts are different.
At least, Wei's face was ugly, and Yuan Xueqing was not much better.
While Mrs. Zhou was crying, the person who went to get Xiaofang came back, and the girl ran away.
It turned out that her parents had passed away a long time ago, and she only had one brother who was running business outside in the early years. I heard that she went to join her brother.
He is actually a rootless person.
Zhou was crying because she was really wronged. She still hadn't figured out how this matter had anything to do with her.
Old Mrs. Wen's eyes turned on everyone's faces, "I know you are all tired of having an old woman like me above you, and I wish I could close my eyes as soon as possible.
But I haven't closed my eyes, so you have to worry about my feelings. Today I also tell you that I am old now, but as long as I am alive, you want to cause these monsters and monsters in front of me.
It can't be done! Yuan!"
Yuan Xueqing was immediately excited, but she tried her best to suppress her uneasiness, and came out to salute the old lady in a polite manner, "Grandma."
"After all, Mrs. Qiao is the person in your room, you are the main wife, and it is your responsibility that my aunt is pregnant. No matter how much you know about this matter, at least what you said just now seems to be evasive, so I punish you for copying it.
Read "Women's Rules" ten times and hand it over to Yi'anju within three days. Do you have any objections?"
Yuan Xueqing's noodles immediately turned red, but she tried her best to hold back her shame and said, "Grandma is fair, and my granddaughter-in-law has no objections."
What the old lady said was to tell her that she had no defense. If she was found not guilty, how could she be punished like this? No matter how light the punishment was, it was still punishment!
But what could she say?!
She had no evidence at all, or even any position to vindicate herself, because the matter was never related to her from beginning to end.
"Wei!"
When Mrs. Wei heard her name being called, she couldn't believe it. She had been married to the Wen family for so many years, and although her reputation had always been suppressed by the eldest wife, she had never been disgraced.
But in the past, I could often make the stupid wife of the eldest daughter suffer in front of her mother-in-law.
Today, in front of so many people, my mother-in-law actually called her name.
"Mother, I really...I really don't know what happened today..."
She didn't say anything else because Mrs. Wen's stern eyes were locked tightly on her.
"No matter what, Qiao's pregnancy was caused by your plate of butter rolls. You must be somewhat responsible, and..."
When she said what she said before, Mrs. Wei immediately wanted to refute, but the old lady's words took another turn, and a sarcastic smile seemed to appear on the corner of her mouth, "As an aunt, you are too lively.
I know you have always been outgoing and have things to say to everyone, but there is a pregnant woman in the fourth bedroom, the first child in their room, and the first grandson of your sister-in-law.
You still often run there, not to mention disturbing the rest of pregnant women. What happened today, doesn't it make people think? You are also a grandmother, and your husband is a parent. You act so without scruples, you know
How much trouble will it cause?!"
As soon as Mrs. Wei's words came to her lips, she was immediately put back by Mrs. Wen's words.
Today's events indeed have nothing to do with her, but she did not hide the fact that she frequently ran to the fourth room before. The old lady saw it, and something like this happened again today.
Come on, how can she clear up the relationship?
Like Yuan Xueqing, she is equally indefensible.
"I will fine you three months' monthly payment. When your master comes back, you can go and tell him what happened today."
Wei did not dare to argue, so he had to agree.
The old lady's eyes fell on Ms. Zhou, who cried bitterly again, "Old lady, you have to be discerning! I have never been in contact with you, whether it's Fourth Grandma or Aunt Qiao!
This Xiaofang... I really don’t know what’s going on with this Xiaofang..."
"My maid doesn't know what's going on, so you still think you're not guilty?"
Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, she heard the old lady said that she would be fined three months' monthly payment. She was angry and resentful, but that dead girl ran away without even knowing that she was going to be fined.
Go with whom.
Qiao Yuning stood up at this moment, "Although my grandma and I have been cleared of today's incident, after all, I have something to do with it. Both sisters-in-law have been punished. If the old lady is not punished, I can't explain it."
Old Mrs. Wen's expression softened, "There must be a reason for this punishment, right? You are the one who suffered, how can I punish you? Then, in today's three-day trial, wouldn't it be like a cowardly official deciding the case?"
Besides, you yourself said that you and Lao Liu, including the people in your yard, haven’t used a single penny of the government’s money. How can I fine you? I’m asking you to come up with the money to fine you.
Isn’t it possible for the public to succeed?”
Mrs. Wen then smoothed things over, "Okay, let's end this matter today! Mother, your face has turned pale. It's time for the court hearing to end. It's time for my wife to help you go in and rest!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone realized that Mrs. Wen's face looked very bad.
The illness she suffered a year ago seemed to have taken away most of Mrs. Wen's vitality. She had never cared about the affairs of the house and just enjoyed herself with everyone, but it didn't seem to matter.
Now that I encountered something like this, I suddenly saw it clearly.
Everyone put aside their work and came to help the old lady go into the house to rest.
The matter was settled like this, leaving several people sad but few happy.
Qiao Yuyan led Pinlan and Qixi to Taoranju with melancholy expressions on their faces, without even communicating with the others.
After entering the door, he asked: "Are you sure you sent Xiaofang out? Don't catch her again, otherwise you will really die."
