Wan Su watched coldly from the side. It wasn't until Wang was exhausted that she signaled Mo Zhu to hand her a cup of tea.
"Second Aunt, what's the use of hitting him? The key is to know who is instigating him!"
Mrs. Wang panted and sat on the chair, looking at Shang Yuanying in the corner who was beaten by her in a miserable state.
He asked angrily: "Who in the end ordered you to harm my daughter?"
Shang Yuanying rubbed his swollen cheek and said with a guilty conscience: "I don't know who that person is. I just remember that she is in her forties or fifties, has a fat body, always likes to wear brown clothes, and there is a pimple under the left corner of her lip.
There is a black mole the size of a small grain of rice.”
When Wang heard this, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Mother Liu? No wonder the eldest lady was able to get the evidence of Han Yue's secret meeting with her foreign man! It turns out that she planned everything. This black-hearted woman is really abominable."
After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she slammed the tea cup in her hand to the ground. The white tea cup was smashed into pieces in an instant.
Wan Su waved to Mo Chuan, and Mo Chuan took Shang Yuanying out knowingly.
Wan Su took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Wang.
"I wonder what grudge the eldest lady has against her second aunt and fourth sister, so she would resort to such vicious methods."
Mrs. Wang remembered that a few days ago, Ms. Li took a stack of letters written by Liang Hanyue and acted arrogantly in front of her, and she suddenly felt an evil fire rising in her throat.
So she said fiercely: "She has always made the decision in this family. How dare I have any grudge against her? It's just that she threatened me with this matter a few days ago and asked me to frame you when I was the housekeeper!"
"Oh? Really?" A sneer appeared on Wan Su's face, obviously not believing what she said.
"The eldest lady is so aggressive that she would even risk offending my second uncle to do such a thing. I think her purpose should be more than that simple!"
"Otherwise, what else can she do?" Wang was a little anxious.
Wan Su was unmoved, "If I remember correctly, Second Aunt, you are a concubine! I heard that you have had a very good relationship with your legitimate brother since you were a child. Now your brother is already the prime minister of the dynasty and a popular person around the emperor.
Come on!"
Wang frowned, "So what? What does my brother have to do with this matter?"
Wan Su thought thoughtfully, "Second Aunt, I guess the first condition the eldest madam blackmailed you for was not to harm me! I think she probably asked you to go to your natal family to be a matchmaker between my eldest brother and your brother's eldest daughter Wang Xiulan.
Bar!"
When Wang heard this, she looked stunned, "How did you know about this?"
Wan Su smiled and said, "It's not hard to guess. Now that the eldest brother has reached the age of discussing marriage, there are only a few ladies that the eldest lady can fall in love with. And among them, the easiest one to get close to is Miss Xiulan."
Mrs. Wang sighed with a lonely look on her face, "You are right, but the eldest lady has always valued my niece. She wanted to use those letters to blackmail me into going to my elder brother and sister-in-law to protect Sijun's matchmaking. But what kind of temperament is Sijun?
, how could I not know that he has been dull in nature since he was a child, has almost no attainments in reading, and is inconsistent in his character. His relationship with the little maids around him and Yuru is unclear. I
How could he agree to let my niece marry him. So~~"
When Wang said this, she couldn't go on. When Wan Su saw this, he said for her: "So the eldest lady has done the next best thing and asked you to help her harm me. You think you won't lose your own interests this way, so you
Just agreed?"
Mrs. Wang nodded, "Yes, you are right. I think I would rather harm you than harm my niece."
Wan Su sneered, "Huh, Second Aunt is really good at planning. But have you ever thought about it, if you agree to the eldest lady's conditions, the eldest lady will have two handles for you. With these two handles, what will she ask you to do?"
No? Don’t force you to be a matchmaker for her son and Miss Wang. Even if one day she asks you to do something even more outrageous and unreasonable, it’s still possible! It’s better that these things are not exposed, but if they are exposed, you will be her scapegoat. Often
In the days to come, these handles will be a sharp sword hanging over your head all the time, making you never sleep well or eat well. Have you ever thought about such a result?"
After hearing what Wan Su said, Mrs. Wang felt chills welling up in her heart. She knew that Wan Su was not alarmist, this was all true. But what could she do? Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but hide her face and cry.
Got up.
"What can I do? I only have one daughter, Hanyue, and she is my life! I can't let her be ruined!"
Wan Su saw her crying pitifully and felt pity for her.
He sighed and said: "Since Second Aunt's incident today has been made known to me, I will definitely not give you another chance to harm me. If you believe me, why not just tell me the ins and outs of this matter, maybe it will happen."
There is still room for a glimmer of return.”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she wiped away her tears. She knew that the matter had reached this point, and the previous plan might not be able to continue.
Thinking about how she has dealt with Li for so many years, how ruthless this woman is. Rather than being blackmailed by Li, it would be more reliable to cooperate with the girl in front of her.
Wang said: "The eldest lady said that she would find a way to attract your attention and let me take advantage of the opportunity when you can't be distracted to secretly drug Wu Yiniang. Then she would find an opportunity to create a conflict between you and Wu Yiniang.
If you attack Wu Yiniang, then Wu Yiniang's medicine will take effect and she will have a miscarriage, and you will naturally become the culprit of this matter."
After listening to this, Wan Su felt a touch of condensation on his face.
"Killing three birds with one stone is a good plan."
"Then what should I do now?" Wang asked helplessly.
"Second Aunt, please stop Fifth Aunt's business first. I will take care of the rest." Wan Su said.
Wang asked: "What about those letters written by Han Yue?"
Wan Su said: "Second aunt, don't worry, I will definitely deliver all those letters to you at midnight tonight!"
next day
Wan Su just came back from the old lady's place.
The table was already filled with gifts from Qin and a letter sandwiched in the middle.
Wan Su couldn't help frowning and said to Caixiang, "Didn't I say that I would reject all gifts from the British government? Why did you bring them in today?"
Before Caixiang could speak, a woman's voice came from outside the door.
"Second cousin, don't be surprised, I asked someone to bring it in! When I came here today, I saw a boy at the door of the courtyard, carrying a large bag of gifts, but your mother-in-law refused at the door. He looked so anxious
I cried. I thought he was pitiful, so I decided to let him in without permission!"
Wan Su raised his eyes and saw that the person coming was Lin Yuru, whom he had not seen for many days. At this time, Lin Yuru was no longer as round and round as before. Her original oval face had turned into a melon face.
"Cousin Lin? Why are you here? I haven't seen you for so many days, I thought you went back to Wannan!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lin Yuru's face, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Recently, there has been a sudden heavy snowfall in southern Anhui, making it very muddy and difficult to walk. My grandmother wanted me to wait until next spring before I go back."
"Oh, that's it." Wan Su understood clearly and looked like he didn't care much. "I wonder why my cousin came to my Lianxiang Pavilion today?"
Lin Yuru looked apologetic when she heard this: "I came to my cousin today specifically to apologize to my cousin. I thought it was my fault that day at the Duke's Mansion. I shouldn't have joined forces with others to wrongly accuse you."
Wan Su was quite generous about this, "No one can do anything wrong in this life. We are a family, so let's not mention the past things again!"
Lin Yuru was overjoyed when she saw this. "Cousin, do you really forgive me?"
Wan Su nodded.
Lin Yuru asked, "In that case, can my cousin intercede with the old lady for me and not let me go back to southern Anhui? If I go back to that poor and remote place, my whole life will be ruined."
"Cousin, I can't help you with this, because the prerequisite for me to forgive you is that you are punished. If everyone just apologizes lightly and I can forget about it, then the cost of hurting me will be too low!"
Wan Su said without any emotion.
"You~" Upon hearing this, Lin Yuru immediately wiped away the apologetic look on her face, and replaced it with an expression of gritted teeth. "Liang Wansu, don't be too arrogant, sooner or later you will regret it!"
