Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 28: Going crazy with desire
Song Yao didn't believe that Aunt Cui would betray her even to death. Aunt Cui had fainted and hadn't woken up yet, so she had no choice but to call Lu Xingwang for questioning.

"You said, you heard that Aunt Zheng gives your mother a sum of money every month?"

Lu Xingwang acted rogue: "I'll tell you if you give me 50 taels."

Mrs. Liu scolded her sternly: "Madam, when I ask a question, you answer honestly."

Lu Xingwang sniffed: "Then...give it to Wuliang Head Office?"

Song Yao was eager for an answer and said with a cold face: "Give it to him."

The maid from Chengxintang went to get five taels of silver and threw it in front of Lu Xingwang.

Lu Xingwang picked it up and put it in his arms.

"I heard it. My mother and my father were talking behind closed doors. I went to eavesdrop. My mother said that Aunt Zheng gave her ten taels of silver every month. She almost saved 500 taels and could buy me some acres. Land, buy the house next door and get me a wife."

Song Yao's breath was blocked in his chest, and he couldn't get up or get down.

When Grandma Wang saw this, she hurriedly rubbed her back to calm her down: "Madam, don't be angry, don't be angry. It's not worth it to be so angry."

Can Song Yao not be angry?Ten taels per month, almost enough to save 500 taels, which means that Aunt Cui has betrayed her for four years.

She trusts Aunt Cui so much.

If you cannot tell others, say it to Aunt Cui. If you cannot let others know, let Aunt Cui do it.

She never treated her badly. Even if she knew that Aunt Cui was secretly accepting filial piety from her servants and lining her own pockets, she pretended not to know.

As a result, Aunt Zheng bought Aunt Cui with a small amount of money.

Those things that she thought only God and Earth knew, and that she and Aunt Cui knew, were known to Zheng Huxu who was far away in Xuancheng.

Knowing that she cried in the middle of the night, knowing that she planned to kill her daughter-in-law, knowing how she made things difficult for Aunt Wei and her son...

No wonder, when she suspected that the master asked her for money because she was asking for it for Aunt Zheng and she didn't want to give it, Aunt Cui tried her best to persuade her not to disobey the master, saying... Aunt Zheng was already very disadvantageous to her by the master's side. If you can't satisfy the master even with this requirement, you will lose even more status in the master's heart...

So, she gritted her teeth and met the master's request again and again. She tightened her belt and could not be short of the master's.

Even the murder of A Ning was the idea of ​​Grandma Cui.

Song Yao couldn't help but tremble all over when he thought of this, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

She knew that many people inside and outside the palace were laughing at her. A wife who came from a scholarly family and was married to a matchmaker could not compete with a concubine from a small family.

She can only deceive herself and comfort herself that the one who laughs last is the winner.

In this contest between the main wife and the concubine, she must be the winner in the end.

But now, even the most trusted and powerful person around her has betrayed her.

She has become a real joke.

Song Yao almost went crazy.

She ordered people to drive Lu Xingwang out, asked everyone to go out, and locked herself in the house.

Now she can't believe anyone. Zheng Fox can even bribe Aunt Cui, who else can't be bribed?
Among the maids in her house, who else belongs to Zheng Fox?

Liu Zhu, whom Aunt Cui often praises?

Or is he looking at Biyun who is honest and responsible?
Song Yao was stunned and doubted everything.

When Jiang Wanning got the news and rushed over, Song Yu had already arrived before her.

"Mom, please open the door..."

"Mother, she's just a cheap servant. She's unfaithful and unjust. She'll be beaten to death. It's not worth losing her body because of her."

"Mom, if you don't open the door, I will kick the door down..."

Song Yu was really anxious.He knows better than anyone else his mother's dependence and trust on Aunt Cui. Now that he knows that he has a wolf by his side, one can imagine his mother's mood.

Not everyone can bear such a blow.

The birthday banquet is coming soon, and if my mother falls ill because of this anger, will the birthday banquet be held?He has already sent out the invitations.

There was still no movement in the house.

Song Yu took a few steps back and was about to kick the door. Jiang Wan Ning held him back and shook her head at him.

Jiang Wanning said to the closed door: "Mother-in-law, if the person from Xuancheng finds out that you are so miserable, she will be very happy. You can't do what she wants. You have to let her You know, her petty tricks can't hurt you at all."

"You are the principal wife, with the support of your family and your two sons. What does she have? Apart from some flirting tricks, she is not as good as you. Even if I dote on her now, if I get promoted in the future, I can still help her. Are you asking for a royal decree? Only you can be the royal wife. You will piss her off to death..."

"You should show your majesty as a lady and scare the monkeys. Let her know that if she bribes one, you will deal with one. If she bribes a pair, you will deal with a pair. If she has the ability to bribe all the servants, your daughter-in-law will help you to buy them all. The people have all been changed. We have to ask the whole family to look around. If you don't use your eyes well, you will end up mistaking your master."

The door opened with a bang, and Song Yao came out, looking at Jiang Wan Ning with a complicated expression.

Jiang Wan Ning coughed a few times and returned to her soft posture: "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law just now was anxious, and she was afraid that her mother-in-law would not be able to think about it and would say nothing."

Song Yao murmured: "No, you are right. You are not in good health, so go back and rest first!"

Jiang Wanning saw what Song Yu meant, and Song Yu nodded towards her.

"My daughter-in-law has resigned first."

After Jiang Wan Ning left, Song Yao called her son in.

"I really didn't expect that Aunt Cui would betray me." Song Yao had calmed down, but she still felt sad.

"Mom, I think A Ning is right. Aunt Cui must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

"I know, since she is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Song Yao's eyes flashed coldly. Aunt Cui must die. Aunt Cui knew too many secrets about her.

"It's just that no one in my room can use it anymore. Who knows who else has been bribed." We can't torture them to extract confessions.

Song Yu deeply agreed: "Mom, why not bring over the maids who have just entered the house? They are new here, so just train them slowly."

Song Yao sighed: "I think so too."

"Yu'er, from now on we, mother and son, must be of the same mind. We can't let Zheng laugh at us. You are my mother's first child, and she values ​​you the most."

Song Yu wouldn't believe such words, but he didn't want to argue with her, so he responded: "Yes, I understand."

That day, Hemerocallis and several other new maids were transferred to Chengxintang as errands, while all the maids of Chengxintang were sent to the outer courtyard.

Aunt Cui died that night. When the Lu family came to collect the body, they didn't make any fuss. The father and son rolled up a torn straw mat and took her away on a cart carrying night fragrance.

Jiang Wanning learned from Hemerocallis that the Song Yao family gave the Lu family 50 taels as comfort money, which was actually hush money, and threatened that if they wanted to make trouble, she would give the Eighth Master 1000 taels to deal with them.

What happened today looked like an "accident". Jiang Wanning claimed that Aunt Cui was angry to death due to her son.

A gambler came to ask for money. Because he could not get the money, he angrily revealed the fact that his mother had betrayed his master. Then the mother was so angry that she died.

Who believes?

At least Grandma Wang didn’t believe it.

She told the eldest lady two days ago that Cui's mother might have betrayed her, and that Cui's son Lu Xingwang was a gambler.

As a result, Grandma Cui's crime of betrayal was confirmed today, and she was gone.

If the eldest lady is really behind this matter.

Grandma Wang shuddered and decided to serve the eldest lady more carefully in the future.

What the Song family didn't know was that Grandma Cui's body was not taken home, but was taken to another place.
