Chapter 75

When Mrs. Shen brought Aunt Wang and Shen Ruyi to the Changchun Garden, the Second Mrs. Shen and the Third Mrs. Shen had already arrived.Today is the sixth day of the lunar new year, the market opens on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and the emperor starts writing on the fifth day of the sixth day. Lord Shen Hou went to court early in the morning of the sixth day of the new year. At this point, Lord Shen Hou has not returned yet.

Greeting the old lady, Mrs. Shen held her stomach and sat down under the old lady, glanced at the second Mrs. Shen, and spoke first: "Today, the second younger brother and sister specially sent someone to tell me, let me bring Wang Auntie, I don’t know what’s going on when the second sibling called Aunt Wang over here?”

Mrs. Shen Er smiled and looked at the old lady: "Old lady, do you still remember that the older brother and sister-in-law gave me the matter of Hongliu before, and asked me to give Sanfang an explanation in the next few days?"

The old lady nodded, looked at Mrs. Shen expressionlessly, then turned her head and said to Mrs. Shen Er, "Did you find out the result today? Do you have evidence? Ruyi said before, people like us, It’s not okay to wrong someone casually without evidence.”

Mrs. Shen Er hurriedly smiled and said: "That's natural, the old lady can rest assured, if there is no evidence, I dare not let my sister-in-law bring someone here casually." Then she asked: "Then, the old lady wants to know first The answer is to look at the evidence first?"

The old lady glanced at Mrs. Shen: "Your elder brother and sister-in-law entrusted you with this matter. You should ask them what to do."

Second Madam Shen looked at Madam Shen and asked again, Madam Shen said with a smile: "This is the matter of the third room after all, let's ask the third sibling first, third sibling, you want to know who the murderer is first, Or do you want to see the evidence first?"

Mrs. Shen San looked at this and that, and after hesitating for a moment, she made a decision: "I want to know who made such a thing first. Our master finally got a child...but..." Shen San Madam's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she pressed the corners of her eyes twice with a handkerchief, but she didn't finish the rest of her sentence.

Mrs. Shen Er sighed: "If you want me to say, this murderer is really abominable. The child is innocent. Even if the emperor executes the sentence, he will be lenient to pregnant women. Such a thing happened in our house. It is so unforgivable."

As he spoke, he looked up at Aunt Wang, and his tone became more serious: "Aunt Wang, have you still not pleaded guilty?"

Aunt Wang was very confused: "What?"

Second Madam Shen looked disgusted: "I didn't expect that you are such a person, Aunt Wang! Just because I was worried that the child in my sister-in-law's womb would be a boy, so I had to act preemptively. There are three ribs in it! But you never thought that the sister-in-law was so lucky that she didn't drink that bowl of medicine, and in the end accidentally injured Hongliu and a child of Sanfang!"

Aunt Wang was the one who had been in charge of the long house for over ten years. She was not afraid of danger, and immediately frowned: "Second Madam, what are you talking about? Why is this slave not understanding?"

"You just pretend." Mrs. Shen Er sneered: "I don't believe that you don't have anyone under your command. Although the old lady has been suppressed by the old lady about the New Year's Eve, can you be ignorant? The more you If this is the case, the more it shows that you are guilty!"

Aunt Wang suddenly realized: "The second lady was talking about Hongliu's miscarriage? Then why did she have something to do with the slave? Oh, I understand. What you meant just now is that the slave is afraid that the wife will give birth to Lord Hou's son. So I wanted to do it secretly and hurt the child in my wife's stomach, but I didn't expect that my wife didn't like to drink medicine. The bowl of medicine finally made Hongliu cheaper, and Hongliu gave birth in the end, all because I was secretly in that bowl of medicine Put the three edges?"

Mrs. Shen looked at Mrs. Shen with a sullen face: "Sister-in-law, you can see that this Aunt Wang has no master in her eyes. She is used to being comfortable in the long room these years, so she must be unhappy. Master, Mingxiu is six years old, right? I heard that it was my sister-in-law who asked Mingxiu to live in the front yard?"

At this time, Mrs. Shen is going to take the path of sowing discord.

Mrs. Shen's expression didn't change much, she just turned to look at Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, do you agree with what the Second Madam said?"

Aunt Wang hurriedly went to the front, turned around and saluted Mrs. Shen: "Ma'am, I don't admit it. I haven't done these things, how can I admit it? The matter of Mingxiu was obviously brought up by the servant. What does it have to do with Madam?" Madam was not in the mansion back then. Although the maidservant was in charge of the eldest room in name, Lord Hou valued the rules the most. The maidservant only took care of Lord Hou’s clothes on weekdays and never cared about other things. If the maidservant is a Greedy for money and power, when Madam came back, she was not very familiar with the Marquis Mansion, and the servants took advantage of that moment to trip Madam a few times and make Madam make a few big mistakes. Does Mrs. Lun take care of it?"

The old lady regards Mrs. Shen as a thorn in her side, how can she easily give the housekeeping power to Mrs. Shen?If it wasn't for Aunt Wang's suggestion, Mrs. Shen might fall twice at every step, not to mention letting the old lady rest, maybe she wouldn't even be able to manage Shunli for half a month.

Aunt Wang is a smart person. Although she does not want Lord Shen to have a son, she also knows that when Mrs. Shen is pregnant, it is not the best time to do something.Firstly, Marquis Shen had high expectations for this child, so if he did something at this time, he might offend Marquis Shen.Things in this world, as long as they are done, there will be clues.

She has served Lord Shen for ten years, and no one knows what kind of person Shen Hou is like better than her.Even Mrs. Shen would not know better than her.Since this man is looking forward to the child in Mrs. Shen's womb, if something happens to Mrs. Shen, this man will never let it go.

In other words, no matter what, it is necessary to find out who the murderer is.Aunt Wang knew that she didn't have the ability to completely hide the truth from Lord Shen, so she would never do it lightly.

Secondly, maybe Mrs. Shen is pregnant with a girl?

Third, maybe someone is more anxious?

Furthermore, Aunt Wang is still counting on Mrs. Shen. If Shen Yunrou can have a better identity, then when she gets married in the future, she will have more choices.Therefore, before Shen Yunrou gets engaged, Mrs. Shen had better not have anything happen.

Mrs. Shen is not young anymore. At her age, it is very rare to be able to conceive. Once something happens to the baby in her belly, there is a [-]% chance that even adults can't keep it.

Aunt Wang was never in a hurry, she could wait for ten years, but at worst, it would be another ten years.It is easy to have a child, but it is not easy to keep a child.The child in the pregnant woman's womb still needs all kinds of planning to ensure that it will be miscarried.For a child before the age of six, if he blows the wind casually all night, or accidentally falls into a pond, or accidentally falls off a rockery, just once, it can be fatal.

Even if it is fatal, the imperial court will not want a disfigured, disabled, or ill-healthed son of the Hou family who will die.

So no matter how you look at it, when the child is in Mrs. Shen's womb, it's not the best time to do it.

Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile, and Aunt Wang continued: "Furthermore, Madam has never taken birth control pills. Everyone in the house knows that the slaves are not fools. Sanleng? The servant has never even been out of the gate of the Marquis Mansion, where did you get the Sanleng? Moreover, the second lady also said that the servant should know about the matter of the third room. To tell you the truth, the servant does know something The matter, the girl wanted to interrogate this matter at the beginning, and she did not hide it from anyone, so the servants also know that there are only three people who handled this bowl of medicine from the beginning of decoction to the red willow birth. , one is Mother Zhao who cooks the medicine, and the other is Qingyu who serves the medicine, I don't know if I'm right?"

Mrs. Shen Er sneered: "Aunt Wang was too impatient. She argued before I could say anything. Could it be that she was guilty? Don't worry, Aunt Wang. Since I said you were the murderer, Of course I'm sure. Like I said just now, can I look at the evidence first? If Aunt Wang is interested, why don't you look at the evidence too?"

Aunt Wang nodded with a smile: "Second Madam, this servant is not impatient, but is unwilling to let our wife misunderstand this servant. Madam is kind and gentle. This servant likes our wife very much, and I don't want Madam to treat this servant differently. Dissatisfied. Besides, the second lady suddenly accused the slave girl of being a murderer, so why should I allow the slave girl to justify a few words? You have condemned the slave girl in this way. If the slave girl doesn’t say a word, don’t you want to say that the slave girl is a murderer? default?"

Mrs. Shen Er raised her eyebrows and sneered: "She is quite eloquent. In that case, let's look at the evidence."

Saying that, Second Madam Shen looked at Madam Shen: "When elder brother and sister-in-law entrusted this matter to me before, I swore to myself that I would not disappoint elder brother and sister-in-law's entrustment, so I didn't take much rest these two days , I just focus on the truth of the matter. Let's start from the beginning?"

The old lady's eyes drooped and she didn't say a word. Third Mrs. Shen looked at this and that, and couldn't turn her head.Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile: "Then let's start from the beginning. It happens that the third sibling looks confused, so we can know what's going on."

"This matter, we have to start talking about it from the morning of the first day of the new year. Mother Chen, who is next to my sister-in-law, is considerate, thinking that the first day of the new year must be very busy, so early in the morning, I took the anti-fetal medicine and went to the big kitchen I found Zhao Mama and asked Zhao Mama to stew the medicine. Zhao Mama is in the big kitchen. In addition to making snacks in the past, she just took care of this bowl of medicine for her sister-in-law. On the morning of the first day of the new year, she was not busy making snacks , So, Mother Zhao just stared at the medicine stove wholeheartedly."

Second Madam Shen began to speak in a cadence. After listening to a few words, Madam Shen couldn't help moving her lips, and turned to look at Shen Ruyi——it would be great if I could have two handfuls of melon seeds and a cup of tea right now.
