Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 158

Mother Fang looked around and said, "Hurry up and welcome the girl in."

Then Zhu Ming got up and wiped away tears, invited Hui An into the courtyard, and told her little boy to stay in the courtyard, and then invited Hui An into the house.

Hui'an entered the courtyard and saw that the courtyard was very small. There were only two main rooms and two side rooms. One was probably a stove room, but the other was closed, so I couldn't see what it was used for.

The famous bamboo general Hui An welcomed into the main room, and saw that the room was also simple, with an earthen kang, a table, and two chairs, but one of them was missing a leg and was only cushioned with broken wood.There is not even a charcoal basin in the house in the winter, and there is a gloomy atmosphere. The bamboo name led Hui An to the table, and said with some embarrassment: "The servant girl is simple here, I have neglected the girl, please do it quickly."

Hui'an saw that a padded coat was neatly padded on the chair, so he couldn't help feeling it, sat down calmly, and said with a smile, "Don't stand still, I see that your health is not good, just sit down." Talk back."

Zhu Ming hurriedly evaded, but Hui An looked at Fang Nanny: "Nurse help her to sit down."

"The girl tells you to sit down, just sit down and answer." Fang Nanny said and went to help her.

Only then did Zhu Ming thank Hui An and sit down, but tears welled up in his eyes, he wanted to pull Hui An's hand on the table, but he took it back, and said in a trembling voice: "The girl has grown up, when the maidservant leaves the house, the girl She's still a little kid, she's already grown up now, her brows and eyes are opened, she really looks like Madam when she was young..."

As he said that, he started to cry, seeing this, Hui'an felt that there must be something wrong with Sun Xixiang's family who used horse purchases for personal gain, so he sighed and said.

"You are an old man by my mother's side, and your father-in-law was once the chief steward of the Marquis's Mansion, and your son was also a steward. Even though Chief Ma died of illness later, and Steward Ma was also beaten by the master, but... I I remember that Sister Zhuming should not be 30 years old this year, how can she look so old? How can the family live so poorly?"

When Zhu Ming heard the words, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and cried: "Miss Mingcha, my man was really wronged. He didn't corrupt the money in the Mo family, and he didn't use his power to seek personal gain to commit infidelity!"

Hui'an nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Let's talk about this matter later. If Manager Ma is really wronged, I will investigate and give your family justice. You should get up first and answer. It's cold on the ground. Don't kneel down again." .”

Zhu Ming's expression was moved when he heard the words, so he stood up with the support of Nanny Fang, and replied: "Young lady, my father-in-law is a real person. Even if it is a penny, it is because the master trusts, treats the Ma family well, and has many rewards, etc. Therefore, when the servant girl married, the family was extremely rich, but later my family was beaten by the master for personal gain and ink. Banzi, the whole family lost their way of life, and the neighbors saw that the Ma family was in ruins, and there was no lack of people who made trouble. My man thought about several business deals, but all of them were lost because of someone's deliberate persecution. In addition, my man's body was broken since he was beaten. I have to ask a doctor to get medicine for my abnormality. My eldest son has been studying, the family has a lot of expenses, and he has never been able to find a living. Later, he can only rely on slaves to buy embroidery for a living. However, the slaves have not been in good health in recent years, so they can’t embroider. What a good thing, so this house is getting worse and worse."

"I heard from the nanny that your family has a stall in the night market to buy wontons?"

Zhu Ming nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Yes, the stall is only a small business, and we have no foundation. We are often troubled by government servants and local ruffians, so we really can't make much money."

How can a slave who has lost the protection of his master have an easy life, but that is not as good as even half of the common people.Although Hui An is a lady who doesn't know the hardships of the world, she still knows this. Hearing this, she couldn't help but nodded and said, "Is your eldest son still studying?"

Zhu Ming showed a little pride when he heard the words, and said: "When Madam was alive, she deliberately got rid of the servant's son's body and allowed him to go to school to study. The servant is very grateful, even though the family is facing difficulties, this book is for him to keep reading. "

Thinking of her mother, Hui An couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and said: "It's not in vain that mother loves you, I know all about it. This time I'm here, Mother Fang must have told you what I mean, just tell me honestly, What happened back then? I heard that the grandfather treated the adoptive son as if he was his own, so why did they turn against each other overnight?"

Zhu Ming's complexion changed slightly, and his expression became heavy. He sighed and knelt down and replied: "It has been 14 years since the incident, and Mrs. Madam strictly forbids the servants in the mansion to mention it again. Those who knew about it back then The old man scattered and died, but there are not many people left who know about this old matter. Logically, since the old master has ordered this matter, slaves should not talk too much, but now that the girl asks, if slaves don’t say anything, I’m afraid From now on, no one will know the details of this, and the servants only feel that there is something strange about what happened back then, so I ask the girl to clarify."

Hui An was anxious when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "Tell me, what happened that night?"

Pain flashed across Zhu Ming's face, he gritted his teeth, but said: "That day is the birthday of the old Hou Ye, the old man must go to greet the guests in the mansion, and he drank a lot of wine, but he didn't expect to appear in the hall the next day. In Madam's room, and... and Madam... lying side by side on the bed in disheveled clothes, they were bumped into by the girl and the master, and the master was so angry that even if the trouble went to the old Hou Ye, this made the old Hou Ye furious , beat and killed the slaves and maidservants in the courtyard, but in the end, the investigation was incomplete and untrue, only Madam suffered..."

Hui'an couldn't believe her ears when she heard the words. Although she guessed some clues from Nanny Fang's words, she never took the matter so seriously. She slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Zhuming, her eyes wide open. His eyes were red and his face was full of excitement.

"Nurse Fang, slap me!"

Hui An was furious when she heard the words, staring at Zhu Ming with red eyes, Nanny Fang sighed softly in her heart, but she didn't move.Although she didn't know the details of this old incident, she also guessed some things from those few words. No matter what the matter is, speaking out will always hinder Madam Qingyu who went first. Now that Madam has passed away, if someone insults Madam Qingyu What's wrong with the girl's heart?That's why when Hui'an asked about it that day, she hesitated and refused to speak about it.

Now I was even more shocked when I heard Zhuming's words, but I also knew in my heart that Zhuming's words were true. In fact, the girl probably believed her, so she was so frightened and angry, and her grief and anger were uncontrollable.
