Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 52
After hearing this conversation, Madam He got up and came to her son and asked, "Dahai, you mean to let Du Zhong be the housekeeper?"

Du Dahai nodded and said: "Yes, when Du Zhong was the housekeeper, there was no incident in the mansion that caused the master to be wronged."

Mrs. He originally wanted to object, but when her son said this, she blocked what she hadn't said yet. Under such circumstances, how could she ask her confidant to be the big housekeeper? Last time, Du Fu But it was her trusted son. "That's right. Let Du Zhong do it first. I hope Du Zhong is still as loyal and fair as before. If your son can't be wronged, so can the other children."

Du Dahai looked at his mother, and suddenly said: "A child with a mother is a treasure, a child without a mother is a grass, and the other children are protected by their own mothers. Who can let them be wronged?"

Seeing that the master and the old lady were about to choke, Mammy Liao hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, the girl can't be poisoned in vain, don't you know that black-hearted person poisoned the girl?"

Before Du Dahai could speak, Mrs. He frowned and said displeasedly: "It's Mrs. Du from the kitchen. She committed suicide in fear of crime." Of course, Madam Liao knew that Madam Du was not the culprit. Cancer, their master and servant's goal has been achieved, both Du Heng and Mammy Liao know that it is impossible to bring down their stepwife Su and Mammy Jiang at once.Nanny Liao knelt down to Mrs. He and Du Dahai, and thanked Mrs. He and the master for their kindness, which made Mrs. He feel uncomfortable. She waved her hand and said, "Get up, I'm so sorry to serve your girl. Be more careful, if you serve carefully and thoughtfully, you won't let Ruo'er be poisoned."

Nanny Liao lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Yes, what the old lady taught me is the lesson. The servant must serve the girl with more heart."

Mrs. He just hummed and walked out first.

"Xiangmei, why haven't you come back, Madam Jiang?" Mrs. Su's right eyelid twitched after waiting for Madam Jiang not to come for a long time, and a deep uneasiness surged in her heart, so she asked the maid angrily. stand up.

Xiangmei hurriedly knelt and said: "Go back to Madam, this servant has been serving Madam and doesn't know what's going on outside, why don't you go and inquire now?"

Mrs. Su waved her hands irritably: "Go, go!"

As soon as Xiangmei walked into the courtyard, she saw a few women and maids on the sweeper whispering under the wall of the west courtyard. Xiangmei was the most inquisitive and lively, so she ran over quickly and asked, "You guys?" What are you talking about?"

Seeing that it was Xiangmei, the eldest maid next to Madam, who was coming, everyone hurriedly said in a low voice: "Miss Xiangmei, you don't know that Mother Jiang is completely finished!"

Xiangmei was first surprised and then delighted, Madam Chi was gone, these first-class maids could live up to their name. "What did you say? What happened to Mother Jiang? Could it be that she was beaten to death by the master?"

"I didn't directly beat him to death, but it's almost as good as death. Now I'm more angry than a dead person. The master ordered Madam Jiang to be beaten severely. After the beating, he threw her to the latrine in the northwest corner, old lady I have sent a message, if Mother Jiang can still live, I will clean the toilet in the future, and never ask her to come up to serve Madam."

"Is that true?" Xiangmei couldn't believe her ears, and asked suspiciously.

Everyone looked at a dark-faced woman, who hurriedly said: "Miss Xiangmei, don't believe it, my mother-in-law ran to see the news as soon as she heard the news, that's true, tsk tsk, Madam Jiang is so decent One of them was beaten to pieces, like a bloody man, so scary!" Lai Pozi shook her head as she spoke, her voice full of emotion and gloating.

Xiangmei heard that Grandma Jiang was beaten into a bloody person, so she didn't have the heart to grind her teeth anymore, so she rushed to the latrine in the northwest corner to see Grandma Jiang like a gust of wind.

Next to the latrine was a broken house with air leakage on all sides, which was used to store the tools for cleaning the latrine. Madam Jiang was thrown beside the pile of tools, her whole body remained motionless, as if she had died.Xiangmei covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in one hand, walked over cautiously with her skirt in the other, and called in a low voice, "Jiangma...Jiangma..."

"Who..." Just when Xiangmei thought that Nanny Jiang was dead, she suddenly made a very weak voice, Xiangmei jumped back suddenly in fright, patted her chest repeatedly and murmured: "I'm so scared to death!" Scary to death..."

"Mommy, I'm Xiangmei, how are you?" Xiangmei asked boldly in a low voice.

"I...Xiangmei, don't tell Madam...the truth...just...just say...I was punished by the master, and I will go back...go back...to serve..." In a very simple sentence, Madam Jiang But it took as long as a cup of tea to finish, and I don't know how many breaths were taken in the middle. Even if Xiangmei was usually dissatisfied with Madam Jiang taking care of his wife's work alone, after hearing this sentence, she would The circles of her eyes were already red, and tears were rolling in her eye sockets. Just this one sentence made Xiangmei completely believe that Madam Jiang only had his wife in her heart, and she didn't have herself at all.

"Okay, Mammy, don't worry, Xiangmei will definitely report back to Madam like this, Mammy, your injury is so serious, I am afraid that the master will not allow you to call a doctor, just tell me what you need, I will send it to you quietly later " Xiangmei said in a low voice with tears in her eyes.

"Don't...be careful...serve...husband...people..." Madam Jiang tried her best to say these words, and then fainted again.Xiangmei looked around and saw a huge pile of straw used to pave the road in snowy weather beside the east wall. She ran forward and pulled out a few handfuls of straw to cover Mammy Jiang's body. cold wind.

Back in Tangdi Courtyard, as soon as Xiangmei entered, Mrs. Su asked eagerly, "Where is your Nanny Jiang? How is she?"

Xiangmei bent her knees and bowed her head and said: "Go back to madam, the nanny has finally been punished, and she can't come up to serve for a while, the nanny asked the slaves to report to the madam, and let her rest for a while, and come back to serve the madam as soon as she recovers."

"Punishment, mother, what kind of punishment did she receive? Yes, the master beat her. How can she be able to bear [-] punishments at such an old age? Xiangmei, quickly send for a doctor, invite the best doctor , don’t be afraid to spend money..." Mrs. Su stood up and rushed to the dresser to open a small drawer, grabbed a handful of golden keys and stuffed them into Xiangmei's hands, immediately forcing her to leave the house to ask for a doctor.

Xiangmei is holding that heavy golden key, and her heart is also heavy. Today she really knows what a friend in need is a friend in need.
