Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 173 Case Trial 2.0

"Wait a minute!" Shen Cha interrupted Wei Niang, "This case involves things that happened many years ago. Let's tell the story according to the timeline of the development of the incident. First, let the housekeeper and nanny explain how they got along with the The young lady conspired against Meng Wu and Zhen Dabao." Shen Cha looked at the two old men, "You guys were the ones who told me about this kid's entanglement with his mother and Wei Niang?"

"Yes, it's what the old slave said." The old housekeeper and the nanny couldn't sit still anymore, and they both knelt down on the ground. The old housekeeper kowtowed and said tremblingly, "We helped the eldest lady and deceived everyone. Man, we are guilty. But Missy really likes this man. As servants, we naturally have to share the master's worries. Besides..."

"And what?"

The old butler looked at Meng Wu, coughed lightly, and continued, "Besides, he is such a lucky thing to be favored by our eldest lady as a small steward. Marrying our eldest lady is better than marrying a A dancer is too strong, right? Besides, the old club still values ​​him very much, otherwise they wouldn't have entrusted the winery to him."

"That is to say, you never thought that Meng Wu would refuse at all. In your opinion, as long as your eldest lady proposes, he should be grateful for Dade's acceptance. If you refuse, you will be shameless, right?" Xue Ruitian sneered, "Your eldest lady's feelings are feelings, but the feelings of other people's childhood sweethearts are not feelings? Should dancers be trampled under your eldest lady's feet?"

"He is a beggar who can't even eat enough to eat, so what right does he have to talk about feelings?" The nanny cast a contemptuous look at Meng Wu, "If it weren't for the fact that my master and eldest lady thought highly of him and rewarded him with a bite of food, he would be dead now." Frozen to death, what qualifications do you have to call childhood sweethearts?" She raised her neck and put on a particularly haughty look, "My master and young miss are his saviors, and letting him marry is to think highly of him, if it weren't for the young miss If we go to him, we don't rarely look at him."

"Nurse, you are a slave, and Meng Wu is a merchant, what right do you have to laugh at him?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, "He is your master now, he is your boss, do you know what crime he committed next? "

"My lord, we have come to this point anyway. No matter how serious the crime is, the old slave has confessed, but it is just a death, so I can go to my poor young lady." The nanny didn't care what Xue Ruitian said, " Slave status is also divided into three, six, and nine grades. I am the most useful by the eldest lady, and I don’t know how many layers above his beggar. Even if he is the master now, so what? It’s not rewarded by my lady ? If it wasn't for my lady, would he be able to live such a comfortable and rich life?"

"I understand!" Shen Cha nodded, "In the eyes of the old housekeeper and the nanny, no matter what status Meng Wu is now, he is still the beggar back then. You should do everything to him, because back then It was Mr. Zhen who saved his life. For the sake of this kindness, no matter how unreasonable the request is, you must agree, otherwise you will repay your kindness with revenge, and you will not know what is good or bad."

"General Shen summed it up very well. This is probably the root cause of this tragedy." Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, and looked at Zhen Dabao who had been kneeling and saying nothing, "You never knew about these things, did you?"

"I don't know, I've heard the exact opposite."

"Son, after this incident, you should remember that one-sided remarks are the most terrifying." Xue Ruitian sighed, looked at the housekeeper, and looked at the nanny, "After the forced marriage is successful, what bad idea do you have? ? This child..." He paused for a moment, "Are you sure it belongs to Meng Wu?"

"Of course!" The nanny didn't hesitate at all, "We also know that he doesn't want to marry the eldest lady, and he certainly doesn't want to have a bridal chamber with the eldest lady, so, from the day we got married, we put something in his food and drink, and put something in his room. After ordering the spiced incense, after more than a month, the eldest lady will be happy, and seven months later, the young master will be born." The nanny raised her neck and said proudly, "Without us, there would be no Young master exists, so, young master, you must also know how to be grateful, and you can't be like your heartless biological father."

"You guys are really unscrupulous in order to help your eldest lady!" Xue Ruitian sneered, "I want to ask, if your eldest lady has a crush on Master Ben and Master Ben is not happy, what would you do? "

"What's so difficult about this?" The nanny raised her eyebrows, "Let the young lady drink something, and put her in the Hou Ye's room, isn't it all right? Besides, our Zhen's winery is so rich, the Hou Ye sees Can't you?"

"Rich?" Xue Ruitian was annoyed by the nanny's bottomless thoughts, "The annual net income of your winery is not worth the monthly silver of Ben Houye! Besides, what is Zhen's winery? ? Is the brewed wine drinkable? Compared with Yujiu, the taste and taste are far worse, right?"

The nanny was so blocked by Xue Ruitian that she couldn't say anything, and she didn't dare to do anything to Xue Ruitian, so she could only live sullenly by herself.

"Continue, what's the matter with Wei Niang forcing your young lady to death?"

Shen Cha didn't want to continue to listen to the nanny bragging about her so-called great achievements without any shame. Seeing the nanny being deflated, she felt very happy. She suddenly felt that Meng Wu locked these two people up out of fear that his son would be killed by this Two shameless people have been led astray.It is a pity that Zhen Dabao has gone further and further down the crooked road.

"It's just a plan I discussed with the eldest lady, just to make the young master change his mind. I didn't expect that this person is so hard-hearted. He is really shameless!" After the miss was happy, this person stopped going to the backyard. At the beginning, he knew how to make excuses, saying that the winery was busy, so he slept in the winery, or he slept in the study. After the master passed away, this person It started to get worse and worse, until the end, even the eldest lady disappeared."

"When did Mr. Zhen pass away? Because of what?"

"The old boss's health has not been very good all the time, and the eldest lady's marriage has always been his top priority. Therefore, after the eldest lady got married, he thought that someone could spoil the eldest lady instead of him, and a stone in his heart was put down. The three After many months, he died of illness."

"After the master passed away, except for going to the winery, this person was never on the road in the backyard every day. It was as if he had disappeared. The eldest lady went to the winery to look for him twice, but he never saw my eldest lady, so he sent someone The boy sent us away. I thought the situation was wrong, so I asked the housekeeper to ask someone to follow him, and found out that he actually had an outside room, and he was also a dancer who was not on the stage."

"Although it's a show but not a dancer..." The old butler shook his head, "We have no way to accept it. The eldest lady said before getting married that he is not allowed to take a concubine, nor is he allowed to keep a concubine."

"You agreed?" Shen Cha looked at Meng Wu, "Is it verbal, or is there a contract?"

"I didn't agree, just treat her as nonsense."

"It's because he didn't agree, that's why he has the confidence to support the outer room. The ones that come out of the kiln are all the most despicable things, but they can seduce people. After my eldest lady found out, she was heartbroken and almost moved Fetal gas, I vomited all night. I saw, how could this work? Early the next morning, after I settled everything for the eldest lady, I led someone to kill the door, and beat the bitch hard Meal."

"Miss Wei, is this the case?"

"Yes, my lord!" Wei Niang kowtowed, "This nanny brought a group of burly men to my house back then. They just kicked the door in. I came out to argue with them, and they beat me without any explanation. After a meal, I walked away. At that time, I was injured very badly, and I stayed on the bed for nearly three months. In the end, my body recovered, and that noble young lady with eyes above the top came to visit me. Open the door." She sneered, "This is the first and last meeting between the two of us. I want to emphasize that at this time, the eldest lady is only happy for five months." She looked at the nanny, "I didn't Are you wrong? In front of the Duke, the Marquis, and the generals, we should stop hiding it. Now that we have already said it, let us explain all the ugly and bad things you did back then. Even if I die, I can rest in peace."

"That's right. At that time, my young lady was pregnant for five months." The nanny shook her neck and said nonchalantly, "So what?"

"Just admit it." Wei Niang turned her face, and faced Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian again, "That eldest lady should be spoiled by Mr. Zhen since she was a child, a typical example of arrogance and conceit, She thinks that she is the only noble person in this world, and everyone else can be trampled under her feet. Her style is similar to that of a nanny. She doesn't look like a guest at someone else's house. The people in the family thought I had committed something and got into a lawsuit!" Wei Niang paused, then continued, "At that time, I just said that Zhen's winery was nothing special, and she brought it here. The boy and the girl beat me violently. Those girls, including this nanny, had extremely vicious thoughts. They should have planned it before, so they kicked me violently in the stomach. After that time, more than one doctor, The doctor said that it is impossible for me to have children in this life. What is even more ridiculous is that they beat me, and when their young lady left me, she pretended to be very weak, as if she was beaten by me Look, and then, after going back, there was news that the young miss had a miscarriage."

"Nurse, are Wei Niang's words true?"

"Yes, we did it." The nanny readily admitted, she gritted her teeth and said, "Miss said, the best way to teach this lowly person a lesson is not to kill her, but to destroy her. Letting her lose her qualifications to be a mother is already mercilessly forgiving her. My eldest lady has given her mercy. According to my opinion, it is selling her to the most despicable brothel. Isn’t she selling herself as a performer? Look Will those rude, barbaric coolies agree!"

"I really can't listen anymore!" Song Qiyun snapped, slapped his chair hard, walked quickly to the old housekeeper and nanny, and gave them a heart-warming, " How can I, Daxia, have such a scornful slave and a wicked slave?"

"Who says I'm from Daxia?" The nanny endured the severe pain and got up from the ground, "I'm from the Kingdom of Jin, and I'm not bound by your Daxia's laws, so you can do whatever you want, you Xia people can't do it at all. What to do with me!"
