Splendid spring returns

Chapter 34 Confession
"Let it out? Will it not be bitten by the poisonous snake?"

"No, this snake is like a human being. When it suddenly arrives in an unfamiliar place, how could it dare to violently injure others? Why don't you look around? Besides, snakes rarely bite people on their own initiative. How did Madam respond that day? What happened? I don't know, I think someone did some tricks in advance to attract the poisonous snake to bite Madam."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart, secretly thinking that this is a good opportunity to frame, because I thought about it: Maybe someone put some spices on Madam..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Xin Nian beside him say: "So that's how it is. When Mama Zhang brought such a terrible thing, she was frightened, right?"

Aunt Gu was still stuck in her own thoughts, thinking about how to bring disaster to the east, and subconsciously replied after hearing the words: "Isn't it? That old man turned pale with fright, and kept on reciting Buddha, and I comforted her..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, she was stunned, and then there was a "click" in her mind, as if a Jiao Lei had been punched abruptly, making her completely motionless.

It took a while before Aunt Gu dared to look at Xin Nian. She was sitting there, looking at herself quietly, with a sneer on her lips, and said softly, "What was my sister thinking just now? Such a heart-to-heart, telling the truth Told me all."

"I... I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything..."

Aunt Gu's complexion was pale, and she tried to deny it incoherently. Looking at the room again, she and Xin Nian were the only two people, she thought: Empty words are useless, as long as I bite to death and refuse to admit it, it's useless to say what she says, and grandma It will probably help me too.

Thinking about it this way, I became more courageous. Just as I was about to say a few more harsh words, Xin Nian said coldly, "I've said that I've slipped my mouth. Do you still have to resist? You think there's no one else here, and there's nothing to back up your empty words. Don't you think so?" That’s enough? Don’t even think about it, since I know it’s Mrs. Zhang’s poisonous snake, will I let her go? I’m afraid she won’t recruit me if I go to beat her up dozens of times? Besides, why do you think I used Mrs. Zhang to deceive you? What do you think? The iron box is hidden in her room. Didn't I find this during the search, which made me suspicious, so I can defraud you so accurately? When the time comes when all the evidence is available, how can you deny it? .”

Aunt Gu murmured as if falling into an abyss, "That iron box...I let her throw it away a long time ago, she...why does she still keep it? This old guy... really is stingy and loves money. She shouldn't be used."

"Who do you not use her? Who else in this mansion can you trust with all your heart and can freely enter and exit the back door, besides Mrs. Zhang?"

"You...you already knew?"

Aunt Gu's complexion was pale, but she saw Xin Nian shaking her head: "I'm not a god, how could I know? It's just that when the incident happened that day, I noticed that your expression was different. Besides, you are from Lingnan, so there are more Poisonous snake, so I was a little suspicious. Think about it, if you did it, and you can’t leave the house in the near future, who would you ask to transport the poisonous snake for you? I asked a few women, and they all said it was yours The girl usually has a lot of contacts with Mrs. Zhang, so I asked people to pay extra attention when I searched. I heard that there was a strange iron box, and I knew it, so I called you over. Sure enough, first tighten it and then loosen it. I didn't suspect you, after letting go of my guard, I stopped calling myself."

Aunt Gu pursed her lips, but she was still speechless after all.

She sat there dumbly, and she didn't know how long it had passed. She suddenly smiled miserably, stood up and straightened her clothes, and said softly: "Forget it, my sister is really smart. As you said, at this time, I am still stubbornly resisting." , what's the use? I'll admit it, I did everything, sister, go and tell the master and wife, this matter can be closed, whether it's killing or cutting, I'll take it."

Xin Nian remained motionless, she stared at Aunt Gu, and said softly: "Although everything I said since you entered the door was to deceive you, there is one sentence that I am serious about."

Aunt Gu was like a clay tire, she didn't ask her, and didn't respond at all.Xin Nian then went on talking to himself, "Murdering Madam is an inevitable crime, but it does you no good at all. Sister, why are you so foolish? You made such a heinous mistake."

Aunt Gu finally had a reaction. She looked at Xin Nian, suddenly punched her chest with a fist, and said excitedly, "I'm confused? Yes, I am confused, but no matter how confused I am, don't I even know how big or small it is? I don't know." Murdering the mistress is a capital offense? I don’t know that even if the wife is dead, I, a concubine, can’t help her? Why don’t I know? But...but..."

"But what?"

Xin Nian asked closely, but Aunt Gu smiled wryly and shook her head. She waved her hand and said, "Sister, why bother to ask? You are such a smart person, can't you see who will be the most proud after Madam's death? You said, if there is no heaven Great benefits, who would take such a huge risk?"

"what do you mean……"

Xin Nian took a deep breath, which matched her guess.Seeing that Aunt Gu brushed off her skirt, she said in a deep voice, "You don't need to ask any more. I think Grandpa also wants the matter to come to an end with me. Otherwise, what will he do? I don't want him to make things difficult, I just hope that I die. He can always think of Chen'er, and take better care of this motherless child."

While talking, thinking of my heart, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing her crying miserably, Xin Nian said in a deep voice, "If I knew today, why bother? I don't believe it. Grandma forced you to do this with a knife? What excuse do you have for her?" hand?"

Aunt Gu cried: "It's fine if you just force me with a knife, I would rather die than do it. But who can not bow their heads under the eaves? How can I have the character of a younger sister? Not to mention being as proud as you, not now Have you bowed your head? Are you doing it for yourself? Not for the sake of the sixth young master and the fourth young lady? They say that being a mother is strong, but they don’t know that being a mother is also weak. Children are the culprit of being a mother. It's just a little better."

"Then you're going to kill Madam? Are you not afraid of the retribution of heaven's law? Have you ever thought about it? If Madam really dies at the mouth of a poisonous snake, can your conscience be at peace? Even if you are well-clothed and well-fed in the future, you will be able to eat well." Did you sleep soundly?"

"What does it matter if I don't eat well or sleep soundly? As long as Chen'er can eat well and sleep soundly, and have a good future in the future, that's enough. As for Madam's innocence, indeed, it's all my sin. The retribution is imminent, there is a mountain of knives under the nine springs to punish me, and after I have received all the punishments and atone for my sins, if we can meet again at that time, I will plead guilty to her again."
