Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 123

"After the imperial doctor took the pulse and everyone was fine, then either Nanny Han heard it wrong, or something like this really happened in our house. Nanny Song said, our house can't take such a scapegoat. Everyone has gone back, we can't explain this matter clearly, who will dare to come to our Marquis Mansion as a guest in the future? Therefore, it must be resolved on the spot."

Shen Ruyi secretly praised Nanny Song in her heart, as expected, she was very reliable in entrusting the matter to her.

Since the matter has been exposed by Nanny Han in front of so many people, if the members of the Shen family do not speak out and explain the matter clearly, who would dare to have contact with the Shen family in the future?I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to come to Shen's house to drink a sip of water, right?
Therefore, this matter must be resolved.

Nanny Han also knew that the matter had come to this point, so she had to have an explanation.Either it is the Shen family's problem, or an insignificant slave is sacrificed.If it really had nothing to do with the Shen family, then she would die after leaving the Hou's residence.

Mrs. Gao also knew the seriousness of the matter. Nanny Han was a servant of their Gao family.Who doesn't know that the Gao family was hostile to the Shen family three years ago?That is to say, Mr. He became the first assistant, and the Gao family had no way forward, so he turned around and wanted to relax the relationship with the Shen family.

If this matter is not resolved today, the Shen family will definitely not show mercy to the Gao family in the future.

The two families reached an agreement, and the remaining people wanted to be witnesses and also wanted to watch the fun, so no one wanted to leave.Mrs. Shen also deliberately took out the deed of sale of her servants.Anyway, I agreed to it, so it's better to do it more openly, so that people can't pick out a little bit of things.

Take the deed of prostitution and order someone to come out, and then go to Nanny Han and say a few words, just follow the previous conversation.Nanny Han did not dare to neglect matters related to her life, and she couldn't point them out indiscriminately.

Because for today's banquet, the Shen family must have arranged the manpower, who is in charge of what in which place, it is all determined in advance, that is to say, as long as there is no running around, there are witnesses.

If Nanny Han made one or two mistakes, everyone would think she was too nervous and made a mistake, but if she made more than three mistakes, the Gao family might not be able to clean up.

To Madam Shen's relief, Nanny Han really did not find that woman and maid among the servants of the Shen family.Now it's Mrs. Gao's turn to be anxious, and Nanny Han is sweating all over her forehead, her face is ashen, and she keeps kowtowing to Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Shen: "I really heard this old slave, otherwise, old slave Don’t dare to break in and say this, right? This old slave swears, if this old slave tells a lie, there will be a thunderbolt from the sky! Or, if this old slave lies, the whole family of this old slave will suffer a terrible death!”

Some people pay special attention to such things as oaths, while others don't pay much attention to them.However, basically no one involves their whole family when they swear.

Madam Gao opened her mouth and closed it again.If the matter cannot be resolved, the Shen family has nothing to do, but the Gao family is about to suffer.Similar to the previous conclusion, if the Shen family did it, no one would dare to enter the Shen family's gate in the future.But if it wasn't done by the Shen family, who would dare to invite the Gao family to visit in the future?
Heartbroken, Madam Gao said, "It's not necessarily among these people from the Shen family."

Mrs. Zhao has a bad temper, and immediately shouted: "Madam Gao, what do you mean? Could it be that you suspect the people we brought here? Let alone whether we have the guts, anyone who wants to go can go to the back cook of the Hou Mansion." Is it? Are you in the Shabby Marquis Mansion, or are you trying to pull someone back?"

The crowd immediately started arguing, some were sarcastic, and some were helping Mrs. Gao.There is also a three-jin nail on a broken boat. Although the Gao family has no way out, Mr. Gao is still in the cabinet, and he may be able to turn over at any time.

The power of the Gao family has not completely declined, and with the addition of in-laws, Mrs. Gao is not without help.

The two sides immediately quarreled, and Madam Shen hurriedly came forward to comfort one and the other, and finally told Madam Gao regretfully: "No outsider can enter the kitchen of our house. The kitchen is in the inner yard, and there are women guarding it outside." Say, if there are outsiders passing by, there will be maids to lead them out. If you don't believe me, let's call people over and ask if there is anyone going to the back kitchen today. After passing through several doors, there are people guarding them. People can be wrong, but it’s impossible for everyone to be wrong, right?”

Seeing that she was in a dead end, Nanny Han gritted her teeth and kowtowed vigorously to Mrs. Gao: "The old slave really didn't lie, but now, because of the old slave, it is the old slave who put Madam in trouble. My mistake, this old slave is willing to die to prove his innocence, please take care of your wife!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed and ran towards the beads.There are so many people in this room. Before they could disperse just now, Mrs. Shen yelled, and seven or eight people rushed up and grabbed Nanny Han. Mammy only scratched her forehead, she didn't even faint.

Seeing that people were killed soon, those who opposed it were a little embarrassed to speak up.Although it is said that a slave dies when he dies, but the court regulations are written in an aboveboard manner, even a slave who has signed a death contract cannot be executed for no reason.Human life is human life, no matter whether it is a slave or not, no one can just watch a person disappear.

And, isn't it just to say a few words?If you really don't want to say it, that's what makes people suspicious.

To be honest, the back kitchen of the Hou Mansion is quite strictly managed.There are three gates, each of which is guarded by two women.Whoever goes in and who comes out is remembered.Nanny Han listened for a long time, seeing the number of people decrease one by one, but she still couldn't find them, the expression on her face became a little numb, and her eyes became more desperate.

At this moment, Nanny Song suddenly mentioned: "The Begonia Garden..."

Before finishing speaking, Second Madam Shen became angry: "You slave, what do you mean? Maybe it's because I think my natal family will come all the way to poison someone!"

Another woman who was guarding the door suddenly said: "Ma'am, this old servant remembered that no outsiders entered the kitchen today, but the Begonia Garden..." It was neither a guest nor one of our own, so just now, let Hou When all the women and maids in the mansion came out to talk, the Begonia Garden was forgotten.

Others' maids and wives have checked, and Mrs. Shen is about to explode right now, and she dare not say that she won't let people from the Begonia Garden be inspected.

Even if Shen Ruyi only listened to Mrs. Shen's words, she could still imagine the scene at that time. Second Mrs. Shen had planned a long time ago, and she acted behind Mrs. Shen Second.She knew that Mrs. Shen was going to buy medicine, she knew that Mrs. Shen had bribed someone in the kitchen, and she even knew when Mrs. Shen was going to do it.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have turned the situation around by herself after Mrs. Shen Er got someone to do it.Nanny Han is a pawn, and the function of this pawn is to fish out the second lady.Mrs. Shen Er was very cautious. Whether it was buying the cook or buying medicine, they used outsiders. Chunhua and the others found out with great difficulty, and she had already detained them.

Just wait until today is over, and send the man to the old lady.

"That person is indeed from Haitang Garden, and one is the nanny in charge of the second wife's first wife and sister-in-law. As for the maid, I didn't find it." Madam Shen sighed: "The old woman refused to admit that it was her, but Han Nanny So I identified her, and specifically explained which road I was walking at that time, let us ask the gatekeeper woman, have you ever seen this nanny next to the second wife and sister-in-law."

Ever since Shen Ruyi became the housekeeper, every door of the Hou Mansion has been guarded by a woman.

As long as that road is in the backyard, no matter who walks by it, someone will definitely know it.With such a confrontation, the second wife's natal sister-in-law was a little confused.The old lady fainted from anger on the spot, and Mrs. Shen cried and said that she was wronged.

It's just that how many people believe her is uncertain.

"It's getting late, I thought, we should go back." Concubine Lu got up first, and called the woman and maid beside her: "You go and ask the county prince, and then find Qingqing to come over and clean up. I went back."

With the beginning, the rest of the people also hurriedly offered their farewells.We are all smart people, the matter has come to this point, it must be the matter of the Hou family, even if the second wife is not the mastermind, this matter is also inseparable from the second room.

There was a reason for staying here to watch the crowd before, and it would be a bit uninteresting to say goodbye now.The Hou Mansion's joke, is it that you can watch it for as long as you want?If you can’t see it, why don’t you go back and ask yourself?

Although there are many things that are unclear in the whole thing.For example, can Nanny Han's words be trusted? If so, why is there no poison in the dumplings?If it is unbelievable, why was it possible to find such a woman, and the time was just right.

But none of them were officials from Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment, so they could only guess and gossip.But no one believed that this was the work of the Shen family. After all, Nanny Han was from the Gao family. The relationship between the Shen family and the Gao family was not very close in the past. The Gao family even had a relationship with the Shen family. How could the Gao family's nanny help the Shen family?

This matter can only be a coincidence, the mother of the Gao family was too impatient and loyal to protect the Lord, so it happened to expose the matter inside.

"And then? Everyone has left, how to solve the matter? Where is the woman? And the second aunt, what should I do?" Shen Ruyi asked with wide eyes, and Mrs. Shen rubbed her forehead: "Your grandmother passed out , let’s put this matter aside for the time being, that woman, I’ll let someone lock it up first, don’t worry about this matter, we’ll talk about it tomorrow when the old lady wakes up. As for the people over at the Begonia Garden..."

Shen Ruyi blinked, and Mrs. Shen sighed: "What else can I do? There is no solid evidence at the moment, and they dare not leave by themselves, so they can only let it go. Ruyi, tell me, what happened this time? How did you do it? How much did you intervene in it?"

"It's not much, it's just that people asked about the second aunt's movements, and asked people to replace the medicine that the second aunt bought back, and asked Chunhua and the others to find out who the second aunt was outside, and then borrowed the help of my father. That maid was put under guard, didn't you find that maid? I was the one who got arrested."

Shen Ruyi said with a smile, after hearing the result, it would be worthwhile to be trained by Mrs. Shen for another hour.

"Is that maid from our house?" Mrs. Shen frowned and asked, and Shen Ruyi shook her head: "Didn't Nanny Han see all the maids in our house today? Is that maid from Second Aunt?" I don’t know where I found it. It looks a bit like the little bird next to Aunt Wang. As long as I dress up and take a quick look, I think it’s a person. The second aunt asked Aunt Wang for help before. Aunt Wang asked Aunt Wang to hide the little sparrow today, but Aunt Wang told me early on, I asked Aunt Wang to follow what Aunt Wang said, and then wait for the maid that Aunt Second found to show up, and hurry up caught people."

What she said was a bit messy, but Mrs. Shen still understood: "Did Aunt Wang help?"

Shen Ruyi nodded, and looked at Lord Shen with a smile: "Father, this time it's also thanks to Aunt Wang's help, you have to give Aunt Wang some rewards."

Mrs. Shen still couldn't turn her head around: "Then why does the second younger sister find a maid who looks like Aunt Wang's maid?"

"The height of the voice is different. When the time comes, this play will be sung big. If something happens to you, mother, my father will definitely investigate. With such a maid, my father might wrong Aunt Wang. After being wronged, Shouldn't father give compensation?"

Shen Ruyi smiled, Madam Shen shook her head: "What's the use of a maid who looks the same?"

"Didn't I say that the height and voice are different? When the time comes to find witnesses, those people will definitely testify against Aunt Wang, but this height and voice will become a way to escape." Shen Ruyi blinked, and then Say it again.

Mrs. Shen is still a little confused, not because she is not smart, but because she really can't turn this corner.

Shen Houye coughed lightly to indicate his existence: "Ruyi means that the second lady wants to create a murderer who does not exist. If the people in this mansion do it, no matter who it is, there will be traces if it is done, but if the mansion People outside, even if there are traces, we can't match them. For example, at Chenshi, the murderer was administering medicine, and several people in the kitchen saw it. He looked exactly like Xiao Que'er, but at the same time, Xiao Que'er was beside Aunt Wang. Waiting, the people in Aunt Wang's yard can also prove that in this way, the clues will be broken, and the investigation will be impossible."

Mrs. Shen suddenly realized: "The reason why Aunt Wang is willing to help is to use this opportunity to let herself stand out?"

Shen Ruyi nodded hurriedly. Who would cooperate with you if it's no good?The second lady thought that she had promised Aunt Wang great benefits. If Aunt Wang managed well, maybe after Madam Shen died, she would be able to help her as a concubine.Or, just be an invisible lady.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang saw it too clearly, she was too sure about Lord Shen's temper, she was not tempted at all, she turned around and sold her to Shen Ruyi.Shen Ruyi followed the vine, and completely controlled the second lady's actions, and also used her tricks by the way to fight against the army.

It can be said that without the help of Aunt Wang this time, Shen Ruyi's actions would not be so smooth. Maybe, Madam Shen would be put in danger. This is the last thing Shen Ruyi wants to see, and it is also the least likely would agree.

"Then let's really thank Aunt Wang." Mrs. Shen said hurriedly, stretching out her hand to push Lord Shen: "Tell me, let's give Aunt Wang another [-]% of the family property, okay?"

Lord Shen raised his eyebrows: "Only divide the family property?"

Mrs. Shen's eyes widened: "What else? You can't even divide the mansion, right? Speaking of which, the mansion is also part of the Hou's mansion, so it's fine to divide it up. When the second and third rooms move out, we will take over the mansion." Give it to Aunt Wang, what do you think?"

Lord Shen touched his chin, is he pretending to be stupid or really stupid?However, dividing the family property is the best.He didn't care much about beauty in the first place, and he was old enough to take care of himself, and he had two sons and two daughters under his knees, so it was reasonable not to go to Aunt Wang's place in the future.

Moreover, in this way, the Hou Mansion will be more peaceful.After all, Aunt Wang has been in charge of the eldest house for more than ten years. If she still needs to be favored in the future, even if Aunt Wang herself is not in charge, there are some people who want to stand in for her.

Anyway, family property, I have plenty, enough to eat and drink, there is no need to keep saving.

So, Lord Shen smiled and nodded: "Just do as you said, and you can discuss this matter with Aunt Wang later. It's getting late, Ruyi, should you go back to sleep?"
