Chapter 160 Another secret
"It's ma'am."

After Mother Bai came out, she immediately followed Su Nanxue to Aunt Qin's place, and saw that her condition was not very good.

She clenched her fists. The two old women outside were so bold. Aren’t they afraid that something might happen to Aunt Qin here and affect the Madam’s reputation?

Mother Bai came out with a gloomy face, and both mothers didn't dare to look her in the eye.

Mother Li's voice was as noisy as a mosquito's. She stepped forward and said, "Mother Bai, I..."

Mother Bai raised her hand to interrupt her and asked the other mother to call the court doctor.

The mother nodded, looked at Mother Li, and left quickly.

Mother Bai looked into Aunt Qin's room and saw that Su Nanxue didn't come out, so she stepped out of the yard, pulled Mother Li away, and stopped in a remote corner. She raised her hand and slapped Mother Li on the other side of her face.

She said angrily, "Mother Li, you are so bold that you let the two of you watch over Aunt Qin here. You didn't even report to Madam when she was sick. Aren't you going to ruin Madam's reputation?"

"thump."

Mother Li did not defend herself at all. Instead, she immediately knelt in front of Mother Bai and cried bitterly, "Mother Bai, this is all my fault. If you want to punish me, come to me."

"Can you solve the problem by saying it's all your fault? You seem to be quite capable and kind, so how could you do such a stupid thing?"

Mother Bai was also puzzled. Mother Li was a very amiable person in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She knew that Concubine Qin was ill but did not inform her. She did not believe that there was no reason.

As expected, Madam Li’s expression changed, and she said angrily, “It would be best if that bitch Qin died. I just didn’t tell Madam and let her die in there. It’s a pity that I didn’t get what I wanted. She was discovered before I could see her die.”

Mother Li was very unwilling to give in. If possible, she would really kill Aunt Qin.

Mother Bai saw that Mother Li had suddenly changed into a vicious look, and when she heard her say this, she knew something was going on, so she didn't interrupt her and just listened quietly.

As expected, Mother Li continued, "Who asked that bitch Qin to beat and kill my daughter? My daughter did nothing wrong. She did nothing wrong. Her mistake was that she followed her around and served her. She saw things she shouldn't have seen and silenced my daughter."

Mother Bai frowned as she heard this. She felt that what was going to happen next must be no small matter. She asked, "What is it?"

Mother Li snorted coldly: "What's the matter? When the Prime Minister comes to interrogate us, let him ask why Bitch Qin beat and killed my daughter."

Mother Li fell silent at this point. Mother Bai knew that this was a very serious matter and it was not something she should know, and Mother Li was protecting herself. If she told everything now, she would have no chance of survival.

"Then get up and let the doctor and Aunt Qin take a look first. I'll go report to Madam right away. If you have any grievances, let Madam make the decision for you, okay?"

"Yes, thank you, Mother Bai. No matter what, today's responsibility is my responsibility, not Madam's fault."

Bai Mama sighed and helped her up: "The fact that you think this way shows that you are a very clear-minded person."

But in my heart I was thinking about what happened to Mother Li's daughter.

Mother Li and her daughter were bought into the mansion. Her daughter was still young at the time. Later, when she was seven or eight years old, she was asked by Aunt Qin to serve her.

The little girl's name was Chunyu, and she was very cute. However, when she was twelve or thirteen years old, she was caught stealing and was beaten to death on the spot by Aunt Qin.

There were witnesses and evidence at the time, and no matter how much Mother Li cried and begged, the girl's life could not be saved.

But I didn't expect that there was another hidden story behind the incident.

But this matter is nothing more than Chunyu discovering some shameful things done by Concubine Qin. Concubine Qin is not a good person, and killing people to silence them is common. I just don't know what kind of big thing it is.

If it has anything to do with Madam, then this time Aunt Qin must be completely eliminated.

Everyone knows the principle that things will change over time, and even if Aunt Qin is locked up now, who knows when she will be able to turn the tables.

Just like the madam before, it seemed that she had not much good days left to live, but Miss Yier luckily learned some very powerful medical skills, and not only saved the madam, but also saved the young master.

So never underestimate people who are on the verge of death.

It’s better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Soon, the other mother called the court doctor. After Mother Bai gave some instructions, she called two maids to guard the place. Then she took Mother Li to see Mrs. Luo.

As soon as she came in, Madam Li knelt down before Madam Luo and said, "This old servant greets the Madam."

"Just kneel down and tell me what happened to Concubine Qin. What's going on?"

Mrs. Luo was indeed a little angry. She managed the Prime Minister's Mansion very well and she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

If this matter were to get out, it would damage her reputation. Not only would people say that she abused her husband's aunt, but also that she was narrow-minded and jealous.

Among the noble families, there is no man who does not have three wives and four concubines. Even if the wife is jealous, she will not show it openly.

Among the seven grounds for divorce for a woman, one is jealousy.

A jealous woman will be disliked wherever she goes.

Feng'er is not yet ready to get married and is pregnant with twins. If his bad reputation gets out, how will he find a wife in the future?

Mother Li also knew that Mrs. Luo was angry. She also knew that Mrs. Luo had always been kind and amiable, and was always friendly to the servants.

So she kowtowed and said quickly, "Madam, it was my fault for what happened to Concubine Qin. I will not deny it, but I have my reasons for doing this. Please let me report it to you."

"You said, if there is something else going on, I will take care of it for you. If you did it on purpose, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between master and servant."

"Yes, I will tell you right away."

Mother Li kowtowed, her eyes suddenly reddened again, tears welled up in her eyes, she choked up and said, "I just discovered this, too..."

It turned out that when Mother Li accepted the task of guarding Aunt Qin, she thought of her daughter who was beaten to death by Aunt Qin.

She was in tears, and whenever she had free time, she would take out a purse that her daughter had given her and look at it.

Looking at the fine and dense, beautiful stitches, Mother Li stroked it gently. This was sewn for her by her daughter herself.

She could never let it go. Whenever she missed her daughter, she would take it out and stroke it carefully, all she could think about was her daughter's every move and smile.

Thinking of her cute and innocent appearance, she loved to throw herself into her arms and giggle, which made all her fatigue of the day disappear instantly.

Perhaps because she often touched the purse, some of the threads were torn, so she found needle and thread and prepared to sew them.

This is the memory her daughter left for her, and she will take it into the coffin, so it cannot be destroyed.
