Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 383 The truth triggered by a ring ([-])

Old Madam Shen also recognized this pendant, just like Mrs. Xiao, she immediately recognized that it belonged to the Duan family.After hearing the reason, Old Madam Shen's face turned livid, and her sharp eyes swept over Mrs. Xiao and Yao Cunhui, and fixedly stared at the young crops kneeling on the ground huddled together.

Mrs. Xiao stared at the tea bowl in her hand and tasted the tea with a calm expression, while Yao Cunhui sat down with her eyes downcast without saying a word.

Old Madam Shen was silent for a while, then ordered Qing Miao to come closer with a cold face, and winked at Nanny Qi.Nanny Qi bent her knees and nodded silently, and questioned Qing Miao carefully.Qing Miao hid the pendant greedily for a while, even if she was beaten to death, she would not have thought that it would cause such a big trouble, when she was forced to question by Nanny Qi, she almost collapsed, she wanted to cry but didn't dare, her pale face was full of tears.

Old Madam Shen looked at her coldly, and knew she was useless, and what she said was true.

Ordering people to take Qingmiao down, Old Madam Shen took a deep breath and ordered Duan Shi to be invited here.

Duan's energy is not very good these days, and his body also suffers from minor ailments, unlike before, he would fall flat in front of Old Madam Shen for half a day to flatter him.Currently resting in his own room.

If Mrs. Xiao is mean, right now she should say that she has a guilty conscience and has a ghost in her heart!

Mrs. Duan didn't doubt that there was him, but when Mrs. Shen was bored and asked herself to go talk and relieve the boredom, she dressed up and came.Seeing that Mrs. Xiao and Yao Cunhui were both there, Duan's heart suddenly "thumped", feeling a little uneasy for no reason.

Old Madam Shen was still talking to her with a smile, and after a few gossips, Old Madam Shen smiled and asked: "I vaguely remember that you have a pair of gold pendants inlaid with pomegranate gemstones that you often wear, but I haven't seen you for a while. Wear it!"

Duan's heart is full of suspicion about this.She didn't know where the pendant fell, anyway, she couldn't find one of them.Hearing the old lady's words, my heart tightened, and I subconsciously raised my head to look at her.However, she saw that the old man's expression was indifferent, and she just asked casually without any deep meaning.

Feeling at ease, Duan hurriedly smiled and said, "Speaking of this daughter-in-law, I feel so sorry! I lost it somewhere a few days ago, and I haven't found it after searching for several days."

"You're becoming more and more undisciplined! How can you not be optimistic about these things you carry with you?" Mrs. Shen cast a glance at her with deep meaning.

Thinking of the ring in Lu Ying's hand, Duan's complexion changed slightly, he couldn't help tightening his hand holding the handkerchief, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The old lady taught me a lesson, my daughter-in-law will remember it!"

Mrs. Shen looked on coldly, and felt a little colder in her heart, thinking that she was a guilty conscience.

The old man's heart became cold for a moment, and he felt that it would be pointless to try any more, he sighed, and gently put the pendant on the coffee table beside him, and said to Duan, "Look, is this yours?" that?"

The atmosphere was a little strange for a while, and there was a tense factor in the air.

Duan was taken aback, her heart beat faster, but she said with a smile: "I can't find my daughter-in-law anywhere, so she fell with the ancestor! Thank you, ancestor!" Duan hurried over and took the pendant in her hand , bowing his knees and saluting Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen glanced at her disappointedly and sadly, waved her to sit down, and said slowly: "You are wrong, this ring did not fall here! It fell in the yard of Xihetang's laundry room." A girl from Xihetang picked it up by accident, and your sister-in-law and nephew gave it to me."

Duan let out a low cry, his body went limp and almost fell, and he trembled slightly.

Old Madam Shen couldn't help tears welling up in her eyes, and said with tears and hatred: "You really did this? Isn't that right! You used to be a scheming, scheming person who only loved wealth and leisure. When did you learn to do this?" You have a heart like a snake and a scorpion! You, you lied to me so well! I really hurt you for nothing!"

Duan's nature is not a bad person, he showed his feet in a panic, now it's impossible to turn around.Besides, she doesn't know how to round it.

"Old ancestor!" Duan knelt down and cried, "Old ancestor! Old ancestor! I, I, I didn't do anything!"

Old Madam Shen became more and more disappointed, and ordered someone to bring a wooden box to Mrs. Duan and open it in front of Mrs. Duan. Inside were two slender plain silks covered with dirty spots.

"See for yourself what this is! This is what is hidden in the skirt of the middle coat you put on! You didn't do anything? You clearly want to kill people!"

Duan understood what it was, screamed "Ah!", and shrank back a long way, her face full of horror.

Mrs. Shen waved the box and put it aside, "What else can you say? If I don't deal with you today, how will you make my old woman behave!"

"I don't know, I really don't know!" Duan cried, "Old Ancestor, I don't know what's in it. If I knew, if I knew..."

Duan's voice gradually dropped.

When Lu Ying handed over the clothes to her for orders, she did not tell her that the clothes were covered with smallpox.She only said that it was contaminated with some medicinal powder, which would make Yao Cunhui suffer and teach her a lesson.Duan also believed it.

But in retrospect, even if she knew it was smallpox, and Lu Ying threatened her with a handle, she still had to do it!
Duan's heart broke, and he cried: "Old Ancestor, I say, I can say anything! I beg you, Ancestor, to love me one more time, and please don't annoy me! I was also persecuted by others, and I had no choice but to do it! "

Mrs. Xiao stared at her deeply upon hearing this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.Is it permissible to murder innocent people casually if you are persecuted and do what you have to do?This is human life, nothing else!

Mrs. Shen, seeing Duan's remorse, shame, and crying, felt heartbroken. She glanced at Mrs. Xiao and Yao Cunhui, and said coldly, "Even so, it's your fault! If someone threatens you and forces you to Why don't you come and tell my old lady about what you don't want to do! Afraid that old lady won't be able to make decisions for you!"

"No, no, no!" Duan cried loudly and shook his head, crying out in a breathless voice: "It's my daughter-in-law who has no face to say! My daughter-in-law has no face to beg my ancestors!"

Ashamed to say?Mrs. Shen was taken aback!If a woman says "ashamed to say it" under such circumstances, she really has no shame to say it.

Old Madam Shen was surprised and then furious: There has never been anything indecent in the Shen family's courtyard!I don't want to, but it should appear on my well-behaved little daughter-in-law, and she is being held in her hands as a handle!
Old Madam Shen really wanted to ask Mrs. Xiao and Yao Cunhui alone, and Duan's sobbing and half-revealed words had exactly the same intention.But Mrs. Shen thought about it, things have come to this point, and they heard it at the beginning, so it is better to talk about it now than to make them suspicious.

"What time is it and you are still hesitating! Hurry up and say it!" Mrs. Shen shouted sharply, her face was frosty, and she stared at Duan Shi with a bit of coldness and disgust.

No matter how much she loves her, it is impossible to treat each other like before when she hears this kind of thing!
Duan's crying stopped abruptly for a moment, and she was a little stunned for a moment, shivering with a chill in her heart.She realized desperately that her mother-in-law had annoyed her!
Duan's face was full of shame, and he didn't dare to hide it any more, so he told the story straight away, and begged bitterly: "Ancestor, it's the daughter-in-law's fault, it's all the daughter-in-law's fault! The daughter-in-law was young and ignorant at that time, and she also I don’t know what to hide or not to hide, so I just rewarded people with the things around me. If I don’t want to, I don’t want to but this kind of thing happened, so my daughter-in-law can’t argue! Old ancestors, I beg you to forgive my daughter-in-law!”

Duan is really scared!If Old Madam Shen refuses to forgive her for this matter, her fate will definitely be worse than that of Mrs. Xue!It was also a matter of quick wit, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she thought of such a statement in an instant, and only described the matter of the burgeoning personal affair as a reward.

Everyone here is not stupid, who can't hear the tricks in it?If that was the case, the actress wouldn't have stayed close to her for so many years, and she wouldn't meet again and talk to her in private, what a "gossip when we met by chance", what a coincidence!

Old Madam Shen was even more shocked and angry. It turned out that the daughter-in-law whom he had chosen thousands of times for his son turned out to be someone who had an affair with someone before leaving the cabinet!Although it didn't cause any consequences, it sounded enough to make people feel bored!
For a moment, Old Madam Shen didn't know whether to hate Duan Shi more or herself more.Seeing Mrs. Duan's appearance, thinking of her usual graciousness and caring service, hearing her crying and begging for mercy, I felt pity again. With a long sigh, he patted the table and said bitterly: "Why are you so confused! How did your parents teach you!"

This is tantamount to scolding for having no tutor and shamelessness.Duan felt even more ashamed, her face flushed from crying and she couldn't lift her head.

Mrs. Shen sighed and sat back on the chair weakly, sighing: "Daughter-in-law, tell me what to do about this!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Duan lifted her swollen peach-like eyes to look at Mrs. Xiao, her eyes were filled with sorrow and pity.

Xiao Shi also felt uncomfortable for a moment, but then she thought about it, if Huier hadn't been so lucky, she might be ten or a hundred times more pitiful than her at this moment, so what can she do to compensate herself!Her helplessness is helplessness, should she have to bear it herself?
Mrs. Xiao shed tears unknowingly, raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears and said, "Mother, how can I ask my daughter-in-law to answer your words!"

"Mom!" Yao Cunhui hastily tugged on her sleeve lightly.She also felt bad.What he thought in his heart was the same as Mrs. Xiao.

The mistakes I made, why should I pay for the lives of others?This is not something that can be solved by saying "being forced to do nothing".

Old Madam Shen gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Needless to say the culprit, it's time to deal with it! As for the fourth family, there's no need to talk about the old things! You haven't been in good health recently, The mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River support people, and the fourth child is also fun, you two take care of it, and go to the south of the Yangtze River in a few days!"

The old matriarch couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. This daughter-in-law has always been the one she loves the most, and her youngest son is also the person he loves the most. Now that the two of them are gone, her side is deserted.
