first class maid

Chapter 314 Wives and concubines contend for favor (2)
I thought this would be the end of it, but how could I know that during the Dragon Boat Festival, Aunt Liu fell ill suddenly, Mrs. Wei picked her brother up, and when Xun Lan went to pay her respects, the old lady was taking a nap, and her brother was about to cry. Afraid of disturbing the old lady's rest, she hugged and patted the child to sleep soundly. Seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, Wei Lun just came back, so she tucked the child in the quilt and left.

In the evening, Aunt Liu's condition was mostly cured, and when she went to pick up the child, she started screaming.Although it's summer, my brother's health is not very good, and he needs to cover himself with a thin quilt to avoid catching cold. When the old lady arrived, my brother had already passed out, suspected of being infected with the cold, and there were several bruises on his body trace.

The old lady was furious and asked who made it?
The big maids all knelt down, and at this moment, no one said they didn't know. The one who was looking after my brother was a second-class maid, and the maid stammered that Mrs. Lan Chou came here today...

Aunt Liu burst into tears, and said that someone black-heartedly wanted to kill her brother. Although she didn't say who it was, anyone with a discerning eye could see who it was alluding to.

The old lady didn't believe it, so she reprimanded Aunt Liu in public and asked her to stop talking nonsense.When the doctor came to see my brother, he said that he had caught a cold since noon, and the wind was coming in from the navel, so the tails of his hands were a bit long.

This incident alarmed everyone in the house, Mrs. Wei was the only one to investigate this matter out of justice, and many people saw it when Xun Lan came over at noon, so it was not easy to excuse that she had never been here, but she also refused to admit it This kind of thing has been done.The old lady also believed that Xun Lan was not such a vicious person, but she beat the girl who took care of her brother severely, but the girl refused to change her words.

Qiu Yudie made sarcastic remarks from the side, flicking the handkerchief and said: "Aunt Liu, the child my wife will give birth to in the future will be more noble than yours. Even if you die, no one will feel sorry for you, so stop making trouble, and hope that you will not If you are sick and live for a long time, it is safest to take care of your own children. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, even if you have a stepmother."

These words made Xun Lan secretly angry for a long time, and Wei Lun also wanted to slap Qiu Yudie at that time. Since when was she still fanning the flames, how could this make her mother step down?

The old lady was also very angry, and since then she hated to see Qiu Yudie more and more. Aunt Liu also took the opportunity to cry, which made everyone in the other rooms sympathize with her. She said a few words of righteousness, demanding that her mother-in-law must be severely punished this time to make an example of others, and her critical eyes pierced Xun Lan's heart.

Xun Lan also knew that the eldest wife of the Wei family was always criticizing the third wife for not having a wife or concubine behind her back, which made everyone in the Wei family feel uneasy.

In the end, the old lady was helpless. Although there was no direct evidence to prove that Xun Lan did it, the suspicion could not be shaken off. She planned to punish Xun Lan to calm the Wei family temporarily.

Xun Lan knew that her man was not good at fighting with these women, so she finally looked sharply at the maid who was beaten to death, "You said you saw me coming at noon?"

"Yes." The servant girl said.

"Then you saw with my own eyes that I lifted my brother's quilt and opened his clothes to let the wind into his navel?"

"This... no..." the servant girl hesitated, "but who else would you do if it wasn't Mrs. Lan Fang?"

"You." Xun Lan said.

"Me?" The servant girl became excited immediately, "Why did the servant girl do this? Mrs. Lan Fang, please don't pour dirty water on the servant girl."

"What motive does a servant girl have for doing this?" Qiu Yudie immediately choked, "It's obvious that you didn't admit what you did, who doesn't know that you just want to kill my brother, and you coaxed my husband to obey you. In the future, you If you give birth to a child, you can inherit the family business, who can you hide from your thoughts?"

"You are so cruel, if something happens to my brother, I...I will fight with you..." Aunt Liu cried again.

Xun Lan was about to speak, but Wei Lun sneered, "Qiu Yudie, you said that Alan had this motive. If you want to say this, you, Qiu Yudie, also have the motive."

"Wei Lun, I'm still the wife you Mingmei is marrying. I'm just a concubine and I can't get into my eyes. Why should I kill him?" Qiu Yudie said angrily.

"Because you are jealous of Alan, you use this to put the blame on her, making it difficult for her to argue." Wei Lun said coldly, and then kicked the maid, "Say, did the third lady buy you and let you assassinate her?" Mrs. Lan Chou..."

Qiu Yudie almost fainted on the spot, this time she no longer dared to fan the flames.

Xun Lan saw Qiu Yudie calm down, and then looked at the weeping maid again, "You are absolutely inseparable from this matter, even if you were not the one who killed my brother, you were bought to do it , old madam, directly search this servant girl's residence and see if you find anything?"

Mrs. Wei immediately played it, and sure enough, she found the girl in the maid's room. The maid's eyes flickered, and she refused to admit it at first, but finally trembled when the old lady said that she would sell her to the brothel. Pointing to Qiu Yudie, she said that the third wife asked her to do it so that she could blame Mrs. Lanfang.

Qiu Yudie was taken aback, and hurriedly complained, but Mrs. Wei, who was quite displeased with her, refused to listen to her explanation, and asked her to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet for three days and three nights, and went to the Buddhist hall to copy scriptures, otherwise she would be sent away. Return to the clan.

Qiu Yudie could only obey Mrs. Wei's orders with a pale face, and went to the ancestral hall to kneel down and be punished without mentioning it.

When Aunt Liu saw that the culprit had been tracked down, she confessed to Xun Lan with a blushing face, saying that she felt sorry for her brother, that's why she spoke unscrupulously, and asked Mrs. Lan Fang not to argue with her.

In front of all the Wei family members, Xun Lan had no choice but to say a few words to her, otherwise everyone would definitely accuse her of being arrogant. This Aunt Liu's sympathy is really amazing.

Since then, she has often used her brother's poor health to make use of it, especially during her pregnancy, Aunt Liu often sent people to say that her brother had a fever, and then said that she couldn't eat, etc. Wei Lun can't just ignore it, otherwise it will cause a conversation, and in the end the finger will be pointed at Xun Lan. He has to go and see him in person. Besides, he is his own son. How can he ignore it completely?
