Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 82
The second master Li Qin pulled up his robe and came in, stepped forward to stand in front of Mrs. Bai, and saluted Mrs. Li.

"Second Master..."

Seeing Li Qin coming, Mrs. Xue called out with tears:
"Second Master, save this concubine!"

Li Qin turned his face and glared disgustedly at Mrs. Xue who was in a state of embarrassment. With an agitated expression, he cupped his hands at Mrs. Li and said:

"Mother...you don't want to listen to her nonsense! This person is despicable and shameless, and he wants to seduce Hui Niang. It's just nonsense!"

Li Taiwei smiled and said:
"Second Uncle, I'm afraid I still don't know what happened?"

Li Qin glanced at Li Taiwei who was sitting upright, then looked at Mrs. Li in surprise, his face was slightly red, and he said with a little shame:

"It's not... isn't it because of what happened yesterday?"

Mrs. Li frowned, without making a sound, she turned her head to look at Nanny Sun who was standing beside her.

Nanny Sun understood, sent all the maids out, and closed the door, leaving only two trustworthy guards in front of the door.

Li Sheng entered the inner hall, glanced at Li Taiwei, then his eyes fell on Li Rui and his wife.

Li Rui and his wife went forward to salute and shook their heads at him. They had just heard about Mrs. Xue being captured by their grandmother, but they didn't know what happened.

Li Taiwei stood up, bowed to his father and second uncle, and greeted Li Rui and his wife.

"sit down."

Mrs. Li's tone was tired, and she said to Nanny Sun:

"You tell them what you said just now..."

Mrs. Bai was lifted up by Nanny Qin, and sat down on the teacher's chair. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead along her temples and onto her stone green dress, smudged with a small ink color.Listening to Nanny Sun's narration of today's events with cold hands and feet, she felt as if a hole had been broken in her heart, and her whole body was terribly cold.

As soon as Nanny Sun finished speaking, Li Rui stood up abruptly and said angrily:

"That's impossible! Grandmother! My mother is not like that, and you can't take her word for it!"

Zhao Shi was startled when she heard the sound, stroked her chest, and looked at her mother-in-law worriedly.

Li Qin's face was pale, and he also stepped forward and said:
"Mother, I was blamed for being confused that day, and that's why this bitch disturbed the house...Huiniang is my first wife, how could I not know what she is...You must not trust others!"

"Besides, this Mrs. Xue has no regard for propriety, justice and shame! He is definitely not a trustworthy person!"

When Xue heard that Li Qin had scolded her in public, she immediately changed her face, sneered with tears in her eyes, and said coldly:
"The second master said that I have no regard for propriety, righteousness and shame?... Do you know who is the person next to your pillow who dreams about every day?"

Before Mrs. Xue continued to speak, Nanny Qin stepped forward and slapped Mrs. Xue twice, causing Mrs. Xue to fall to the ground and unable to get up.

Xue's hands were still tied behind her back, and she struggled to get up, but Qin Nanny grabbed her neck severely and shouted:

"You bitch! How did our wife treat you... to raise you, a cannibalistic white-eyed wolf..."

Mrs. Xue fell to the ground, and Nanny Qin couldn't breathe. She twisted her body, her face flushed red!

"Presumptuous! Mother Qin is trying to kill people to silence her!"

Li Taiwei shouted loudly:
"Dafu! Bring her down to me!"

Nanny Qin paused, and before she could recover, she was grabbed by Dafu and turned over and pinned to the ground.Nanny Qin is getting old, how can she stand up to such pushing and shoving, she suddenly howled...

"How can you be presumptuous in front of the master!"

Dafu spat, secretly exerting strength in his hand,
"If Mammy is dishonest again, this servant can only dare to gag Mammy's mouth!"

"stop!"

Bai-shi screamed and stepped forward, pushed Dafu away, and guarded Nanny Qin tightly behind her.She turned to look at Li Taiwei, her gaze piercing:

"Sister Wei, what are you talking about?...Killing people to silence you?...You can say such heart-wrenching words for an outsider?"

"How does Second Auntie treat you normally? How does she treat you as the eldest wife?...Could it be that Sister Wei is so hard-hearted that she trusts an unworthy bitch..."

"She committed such a heinous crime in a cocoon, and she got all the stolen goods! Right now, she is rambling about with empty teeth, and it is worth embarrassing your second aunt..."

Li Qin stepped forward to pull Bai Shi up, turned his face to Li Taiwei, and reprimanded:
"Miss Wei, don't be presumptuous, how can you talk to your aunt like this! You...!"

Li Sheng frowned, and he couldn't help looking at Li Qin with a bit of coercion, which made Li Qin silence immediately, and turned his face away embarrassingly.

Li Rui's face was also livid, but he didn't say a word.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Li Taiwei in embarrassment, wanted to persuade her a few words, but didn't know how to speak, so she had to turn to look at Li Rui again.

Mrs. Li sneered:
"The yamen still needs to make an inquiry to decide the case, not to mention whether Mrs. Xue is trustworthy or not. Right now, the second aunt clearly does not want Mrs. Xue to have a chance to speak... This makes me wait and see, it is always not big Is it suitable..."

"It's said that helpers don't help relatives. If I hadn't stopped in time today, I'm afraid my mother and my younger siblings would have been murdered... The second aunt and the second uncle might as well put themselves in the shoes of the niece and think about it. May I ask you clearly?"

Bai Shi tightly clutched Li Qin's sleeve, his eyes were flustered.Li Qin's face paled a little, he supported Bai Shi, and subconsciously went to look at Li Sheng.

"Okay! Don't say a few words!"

Mrs. Li, who was sitting on top, tapped her cane and shouted:
"Mr. Xue! Please explain the matter in detail... If there is even half a lie, you can believe that even though my old lady has been fasting for many years, she can still make all of you Xue's family come!"

Only then did Mrs. Xue escape from Nanny Qin's grasp, coughing violently a few times, choking tears from the corners of her eyes.Dafu pulled her up with one hand, and waited for Xue Shi to calm down, then pressed her down and knelt down in front of everyone.

When Mrs. Xue heard Mrs. Li's words, she almost collapsed on the ground. She leaned down, pressed her forehead to the ground, and said in a trembling voice:
"Everything said by this concubine is true, I dare not lie to you..."

"Today, the pearls and hairpins worn by my concubine were all gifts from my second wife. Yesterday, I was also instructed by my second wife to come to Hua'an Hall to ask for the old lady's grace... Before this concubine has never heard of rebirth beads, and I don't know what they are used for... "

Li Qinfang wanted to reprimand, but Li Sheng raised his hand and knocked on the table to stop him. His face turned red, and he stared at Xue's eyes, almost wanting to spit fire...

Xue raised her eyes and looked at Li Qin who looked angrily, her heart was completely cold.Glancing at the pale Bai Shi again, he suddenly curled the corners of his mouth and said with a sneer:
"Second master doesn't believe in concubines?...It's okay..."

"Second master, do you know what the second wife has done in secret?... She has been bribed by the imperial physician for many years, deliberately concealing the pregnancy of the wife, and also asked me to seduce the prime minister with incense, so that I can climb up to the position of the eldest wife, so that the wife will be shocked." One corpse and two lives in anger!"

"Shut up!"

Li Qin blurted out in rage.

Xue Shi smiled with tears in her eyes:
"Second Master, do you still remember the day you and I had sex?"

"It's because I used the aphrodisiac incense gifted by the second lady...I secretly replaced the benzoin in the lady's room that day, and made the lady unconscious, so that I had the opportunity to climb into the second master's bed...all of this is thanks to the second Gift from Madam!"

Hearing this, Li Qin was stunned... No wonder he couldn't help but commit such absurd things that day...

Li Qin turned his face and looked at Bai Shi beside him with a blank expression.

"It's just obscenity, it's nonsense!"

Li Rui slapped the table angrily and stood up, pointing at Mrs. Xue and saying:
"My mother would never do such a thing... let alone use any kind of incense..."

Xue raised her face and said coldly:
"Eldest son, you should ask... Who is your mother doing all this for?"

Bai Shi couldn't hold back any longer, and wanted to jump in front of Xue Shi, but Dafu stopped him with quick eyes and hands.

Xue stared at Bai in horror, almost screaming:
"Master Xiang! She is for Master Xiang!"

"The second lady did all this... because she has been infatuated with Xiangye for many years!"
