Second Married Dandy: She went crazy to kill the eldest daughter

Chapter 96 Fight together

Su Chengying was shocked when she heard this.

The old lady glanced at Su Chengying's reaction, and then said after a moment, "I was shocked when I first heard about it, but I thought there would be no false news coming to Huguo Temple."

The eldest lady Liu said, "Although Tao Xiu is a slave, the old lady cares about her many years of service in Jiaziyuan and has already expelled her from the slave status. But after all, she is still a member of Jiaziyuan. What should be done after this?" What should I do? I still have to ask Her Royal Highness what she means."

Su Chengying didn't dare to say this.

The old lady is willing to coexist peacefully with her now, but that doesn't mean she can be proud of it. If she oversteps her authority without any scruples, she will probably make the old lady unhappy.

Looking at Madam Liu's attentive look, Su Chengying just wanted to sneer. This person was really a good digger with a smile.

After calming down, Su Chengying looked at Madam Liu and said, "Old Madam is still sitting here, why do you need me to make the decision? Madam has been in charge of the government for all these years, can't she even distinguish the priorities? "

Madam Liu did not expect Su Chengying to react so quickly, and hurriedly explained, "I just feel that since Her Royal Highness the Princess entered Jiaziyuan, everything in the courtyard has changed drastically. I think Her Royal Highness must have some ideas."

Looking at the eldest lady Liu's appearance, those who didn't know thought that even she was afraid of Su Chengying. With such a sophisticated and coy attitude, even the fourth lady Jin had to sigh secretly.

This is clearly accusing Su Chengying of being arrogant and trying to establish authority in the house.

At the same time, a crisp sound of 'click' was heard.

It turned out that the second lady, Mrs. Sun, shook her hand and smashed the tea cup to the ground.

The fourth lady, Jin, raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't see how close my second sister-in-law is to Tao Xiu on weekdays. Why is it that she reacted so much now that she is gone?"

"I'm just a little surprised." The second lady, Mrs. Sun, bent down to pick up the fragments on the ground and whispered, "Speaking of which, Tao Xiu has been managing Jiaziyuan for many years and is considered calm and capable. If she hadn't messed with the princess last time Your Highness, I’m afraid you won’t die of depression in Huguo Temple.”

Are you complaining that it's all Su Chengying's fault?

Su Chengying didn't expect that the second wife, Mrs. Sun, would get involved.

However, she has nothing to fear.

As the saying goes, one sheep is driven, two sheep are led...

Since we are here together, let’s fight together.

Su Chengying opened her mouth and said, "Tao Xiu made a mistake at the beginning. Although the old lady personally ordered him to be sent to Huguo Temple, I never felt that there was anything wrong. Tao Xiu's taking care of Jiaziyuan these years is indeed her credit. , but her mistake was that she was arrogant because of this, and she dared to lie in front of the old lady. Now that the second lady said this, could it be that the old lady also complained about it? "

It was the second wife, Mrs. Sun, who was picking up the fragments. She accidentally cut her finger and shivered in pain.

Su Chengying looked at Madam Liu again, "Tao Xiu went to Huguo Temple. The servants in Jiaziyuan were slacking off. Although I thought about asking the old lady to help host it, I was afraid that the old lady would be upset over trivial matters like sesame and mung beans. , then I promoted other people to be aunts in the courtyard on my own initiative. If this can be regarded as having an idea, then the eldest lady has managed the palace in an orderly manner over the years, so she is the one with the most correct idea."

The eldest lady Liu was stunned and wanted to speak again, but she heard the old lady angrily yell, "As an elder, if something happens to you, it's fine if you don't help the younger ones to share the burden. Why shamelessly add to the trouble here!"

The eldest lady Liu was stunned. She didn't expect that the old lady would openly help Su Chengying and called out quickly, "Old lady, I..."

"Shut up!" The old lady had a rift with the eldest lady Liu. She just couldn't find the opportunity and was too lazy to talk to her. But now Su Chengying is helping her in every way and thinking about her every step of the way. How can her wife return the favor? Can you pretend to be deaf and dumb?In the same way, it can be regarded as an opportunity to rub the eldest lady Liu's spirit.

Faced with the old lady's anger, Madam Liu clenched her handkerchief tightly and stepped aside, daring not to speak any more.

Seeing that the room became quiet, the old lady looked at Su Chengying again and said, "No matter what happened in the past, you will be the master of Jiaziyuan from now on. What are you going to do about Tao Xiu?"

Seeing what the old lady said, Su Chengying said, "Tao Xiu is from the Duke's Palace after all. Even if he can't be buried in a grand ceremony, he still has to arrange his funeral affairs in a dignified manner, so that outsiders won't misunderstand that he is being treated badly by the Duke's Palace. Got her."

The old lady didn't expect that Su Chengying understood the general situation so well, so she nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The matter about Tao Xiu was settled, and after a while, everyone stood up and left.

The second lady, Mrs. Sun, walked out of the main courtyard in a daze all the way. Her feet were as weak as if she had stepped on cotton. No matter how stupid she was, she still guessed that there must be a clue to Tao Xiu's death. Otherwise, why would she go to find Tao Xiu? After getting rid of Su Chengying, Tao Xiu hanged himself in Huguo Temple?
I heard that ghosts who die violently are looking for someone to take their lives...

The more the second lady thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she hurried to her yard. She had to think of a way, and no matter what, she could not let Su Chengying take Tao Xiu's body back.

Su Chengying always felt that Tao Xiu's death was very strange. Then she thought of last night's assassination. When she returned to Jiaziyuan, she originally wanted to find Dongfang Yuebai, but she was told that Dongfang Yuebai had gone out long ago. went.

Su Chengying called Jin Han to ask, "After I went to bed last night, was there anything unusual in the yard?"

Jin Han shook his head, "Last night, after the lady fell asleep for a while, my subordinate fell asleep leaning on the railing."

Su Chengying knew that Jin Han had been well trained since childhood, and there was another assassination last night. With Jin Han's temperament, it was impossible for him to fall asleep without any precautions.

She thought for a while and then said, "Go and call Tianyi."

Tianyi came very quickly, "Your Highness the Princess."

Su Chengying said bluntly, "What else happened after I fell asleep last night?"

Tianyi thought for a while, then lowered his eyes and said, "Yesterday after Her Royal Highness fell asleep, the master took Zhixu away for an hour, saying that he was going to find the assassin."

Facing Tianyi's happiness, Su Chengying was stunned, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"The master said that if Her Royal Highness the Princess asks about it later, let the subordinates tell you this. The provincial Princess will bother to check again, but if Her Highness the Princess does not ask about it, I will assume that nothing happened. There is no need to let Her Highness the Princess. Add unnecessary worries."

Su Chengying, "..."

It's really thoughtful.

In this case, Tao Xiu was the main messenger who planned the assassination last night.

But there was one thing that Su Chengying couldn't figure out. Tao Xiu had always been loyal to Dongfang Yuebai, so he should never have murderous intentions. And if Tao Xiu had murderous intentions against her because she was sent to Huguo Temple, how could he wait until at this time?
Just as he was thinking about it, Qiu Wen came in and said, "Your Highness, the second lady took a Taoist priest to see the old lady. She said that the person who hanged himself was full of grievances and might hurt everyone in the house. Now Qiu is beside the second lady. Mom, she is leading people to the door of the mansion, as if she is going to Huguo Temple, and will burn Tao Xiu's body directly."
