Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 24 Gossip
In the past two days, Uncle Cheng En gradually began to talk nonsense.

He said that Mr. Jiang treated his third wife harshly these days.

I don’t know where these gossips originated from, but spread throughout the uncle’s house overnight.

Jiang dragged his sick body and ran to the old lady to complain.

The old lady immediately sent someone to tell Xie and her daughter to come over.

Xie felt uneasy.

This matter is inherently mysterious.

Jiang's identity has meant that he has been a powerful figure in the mansion over the years.

How dare the servants below dare to talk like this?
Now that Jiang had no instructions, she definitely didn't believe it.

The servants in the old lady's courtyard were all extremely cautious.

I'm afraid something will go wrong at this moment.

When the mother-in-law saw Xie's mother and daughter coming, she didn't have much good looks on her face.

He bowed weakly, lifted the curtain, and welcomed the person in.

Mr. Xie was about to salute.

But the old lady angrily rebuked, "The third child also grew up in front of me. In these years, I, the old lady, have never owed him anything.

Now I marry you and come in.

On the contrary, the house is restless. "

The old lady slapped her palms on the table repeatedly, and asked, "Are you trying to force me to death, old lady!"

Xie had a look of panic on her face and quickly knelt down.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law has offended my mother for some reason, and I hope that my mother will say it clearly so that my daughter-in-law can understand."

Ye Jingzhao knelt down along with his mother.

Mrs. Jiang knelt at the feet of the old lady, covering her face with a handkerchief to hide her tears.

Mrs. Liang stood aside and saw that the old lady had said something harsh. She couldn't help but persuade her, "Mother, we still need to inquire about the lawsuit at the Yamen. Now naturally we need to ask about this family matter."

"You are a kind-hearted person. You have been deceived many times because of your kind-heartedness. Today you are just watching from the sidelines, so you can make a decision in your mind in the future."

The old lady didn't have the slightest intention of accepting Mrs. Liang, but persuaded Mrs. Liang instead.

This is to allow Mr. Liang to take this opportunity to sever ties with Sanfang.

Her real relative is her sister-in-law, who is a brother from the same mother.

But Liang Shi never liked Jiang Shi.

Ever since she was in her boudoir, she has looked down on Jiang's family.

The Jiang family is the youngest daughter in the family, she is spoiled and spoiled too much, she always wants to be top-notch in everything, and she is also a vengeful master.

Although the Liang family is the only princess in the palace, she is calm and kind.

She had always been at odds with Jiang, so she would not go to any occasion where Jiang was around.

"Mom, at least let the third brother and sister understand the reason why you found her today."

Seeing that Mr. Liang refused to comply, the old lady looked a little unhappy.

Shen Sheng responded.

Aunt Cui on the side stepped forward and spoke, "Today, the Second Madam feels better and finally wants to go out for some fresh air, so I accompany our madam to go for a walk in the garden. Who knows..."

Aunt Cui frowned and turned to look at Mr. Xie, with a hint of cruelty hidden in her eyes.

"Who would have thought that my servants were actually spreading...

It is said that our wife treated the third wife harshly, and said that the third wife said that the second wife is a fake charity. "

"Ms. Xie, these words came from your house, what do you say now!"

The old lady glared at Mr. Xie angrily.

Xie looked up, but there was no trace of panic in his eyes, he straightened his waist and replied. "Mother, my daughter-in-law has never said this, nor has she ever had such a heart."

"Third brother and sister, how do I treat you in the past, why do you slander me like this? If you hadn't told it, how could the people outside have spread it like this?"

Jiang's eyes were full of tears, and he choked up to complain.

Ye Jingzhao secretly clenched his fists and was about to speak out when his mother stopped him.

Mr. Xie is usually kind, but he is not stupid either.

Today's matter, the key points, she has already understood.

Jiang's behavior was just because Nanny Cui had some disputes with her, and because sister-in-law had paid Sanfang the monthly money for these years.

The people below were all praising Mrs. Liang and belittling Mrs. Jiang secretly.

There is even a blunt one, saying that fortunately the clan's eldest daughter-in-law is the Liang family, otherwise the Jiang family would have become the clan's wife like this, and I don't know what the situation in the uncle's mansion would be like.

After all, the master is kind and the servants have an easy life.

In Jiang's eyes, there is no room for shame.

Over the years, he secretly took charge of many things in the mansion.

But the important errand was held tightly in Liang's hands, no matter how Jiang used all means, he didn't pry it open.

"Mother, can you call those servants who gossip in front of the second sister-in-law?"

Xie glanced at Jiang, then turned to look at the old lady.

Jiang had already laid out the plan and was afraid that the old lady would refuse.

Gently tugged on the old lady's skirt twice.

The old lady acquiesced to Jiang and said, "Go and bring him here."

A mother-in-law went down and brought the person up.

I saw three or five women coming with two women tied up.

"Old madam, please spare me this time."

"Old lady..."

As soon as the two women came up, they cried and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I don't know where the two mothers work."

Mrs. Xie first bowed to the old lady and then asked about the visitor.

One of the two women was wearing a brown jacket and the other was wearing a dark green jacket.

Bloated.

"Third Madam, this old slave is Mrs. Wang at the back door. You only met this old slave a few days ago."

The one in the dark green jacket spoke first.

Another one also spoke, "Old slave is the steward of the backyard, Mrs. Sun. I and Mrs. Wang have only met you, Third Lady, a few days ago."

"Ms. Xie, how can you still quibble?"

The two women said that they had met Mrs. Xie, reminding the old lady of the nonsense that Mrs. Xie heard in the garden today.

Naturally, the two are linked together.

"Since you said you met me, please tell me exactly when and where, and who else is by my side."

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Sun were stunned.

Grandma Sun replied first, "Third Madam, it was the morning of two days ago. You found the old slave and went with Mrs. Wang, and ordered..."

"Mother Wang, Mother Sun, tell me carefully what I told you, and tell me what kind of benefits I promised you."

"The third lady saw that the eldest lady has now returned to the house. You resented the second lady for finding a marriage for the fourth girl that did not suit your wishes, so you felt resentful and specially ordered the two of us to spread the rumor.

And give us two 20 taels of silver each. "

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth without blinking.

"Xie Shi! You bastard!"

The old lady's heart beat rapidly after hearing this.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law was wronged." Mrs. Xie still straightened her back, and then turned to look at Sun Wang's two mothers, "Whose signal did you get to frame me?"

The two women cried and complained, biting their tongues tightly.

"It's a joke. The third master's previous salary was only more than thirty taels a year. Now, although the third master has been promoted, it is only more than a month. You say, I gave you 40 taels. Where are the people in the third house now? I can scrape together these silver coins!"

The two women didn't know how to explain for a while.

Ruo quibbles that the uncle's house has sent monthly money to Song County for the third room in recent years.

Wouldn't that be contrary to the remarks that were released before?

"Who knows that this money will not be subsidized by your mother's family?"

Seeing the timidity of the two women, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly spoke out.
