Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 76

What Mrs. Shen said was true, as if she was there and saw it with her own eyes: "While Mother Zhao and Qingyu were talking, that Furong took the opportunity to sprinkle the three-edged powder in the medicine..."

"Second Madam's words are wrong. You said before that the three-edged powder I prepared, my servant, is for Madam to drink. Since Qingyu asked Madam for her anti-fetal medicine, Madam will definitely not drink it. Madam doesn't want to drink it, so why did Furong waste this three-edged powder? You said before, slave girl, I bought this medicine and found a lot of people. Since it is so difficult to get it, I won't waste it foolishly. Red willow, shall we drink?"

Aunt Wang interrupted Second Madam Shen and asked, Second Madam Shen smiled and shook her head: "If it is inferred according to common sense, you will not waste this triangular powder on Hongliu. But if Hongliu has a miscarriage, Madam Shen You must have gone to have a look, right? When the time comes, you will be smelled of blood, so it just gives you a chance?"

"Second Madam's explanation is a bit far-fetched. Do you think our Marquis is not smart, or do you think our wife is a fool, or do you think our eldest girl is ignorant? Why did Aunt Hongliu have a miscarriage? Because she drank that A bowl of anti-fetal medicine, our Lord Hou values ​​the child in our wife's womb very much, because Hongliu drank the anti-fetal medicine that was originally made for our wife and had a miscarriage. Will you touch it again?"

Aunt Wang almost laughed, this second Mrs. Shen is just making up a story, you must make it up without loopholes anyway.

Mrs. Shen Er took a look at Aunt Wang contemptuously: "What if that Fu Rong thinks of pushing your wife in the chaos? Since the triangular edge has been used once, it doesn't have to come in handy for the second time." Alright, as long as someone waits at Hongliu's place, and when the sister-in-law passes by, she stretches out her hand behind her back and pushes her..."

Aunt Wang couldn't hold back this time, she really picked the corners of her mouth: "Second Madam, did you not understand what I just said? Then I will repeat it again. Do you think our Marquis is not smart, or do you think our wife is Fool? Or do you think our eldest girl is ignorant? Why did Aunt Hongliu have a miscarriage? Because she drank that bowl of anti-fetal medicine, because Hongliu had a miscarriage after drinking the anti-fetal medicine that was originally boiled for our wife, what do you think? , will our wife really go to Aunt Hongliu's place for a couple of laps casually?"

The contempt in that tone made the Second Madam Shen almost explode: "Shut up! My Madam is talking, where is your turn to intervene? Your Madam didn't say a word, do you really think you are more noble than your Madam?"

"Second Madam, you have wronged your servant." Aunt Wang bowed to the Second Madam Shen neither humble nor overbearing: "You said that this thing was done by the slave, and the slave has to defend herself anyway. The reason why our wife didn't speak is because That's because we haven't figured out what's going on, and our wife doesn't want to wrong the slave, so I let the slave justify."

Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile, and unconditionally supported the people on her side: "Yes, since the second brother and sister said that there is evidence, then this matter should be reasonable and reasonable. Aunt Wang has doubts in her heart. If you don’t understand, why don’t you explain it to us first?”

Before Mrs. Shen Er could speak, the old lady waved her hand directly: "Since the second family has evidence, why don't you just show the evidence? What makes sense? There are many murderers in this world who kill for no reason. It's just because of being scolded a few times, some people are just because they are looked down upon, some people are just because they lost a pair of shoes, so who would ask whether these reasons are enough to kill a person?"

The old lady sighed as she spoke: "You are young and don't know that in the previous dynasty, about 40 years ago, there was a murder case in the capital. A murderer killed a family of eleven people. Guess how much deep hatred this is?"

Mrs. Shen was very supportive: "My daughter-in-law is young, I have never heard of such a thing, old lady, what is the murderer doing?"

"It's just because the murderer fell in love with the girl of that family at that time, and the family saw that the murderer was a rogue with no family background, so they were unwilling to marry their own girl to him, so this man felt that the family looked down on him, and planned to , I took the opportunity to destroy the door."

The old lady sighed: "Such a murderer, how can you find reasonable reasons for his cruel actions?"

Saying that, she glanced at Mrs. Shen, very disdainful, and Shen Ruyi also sighed: "That ruffian is too cruel, but fortunately, there are no such ruffians in our house, especially Aunt Wang, who was still a grandmother herself back then. The selected ones are those who can read and write, play the piano and compose poems, and can also manage the house and govern the board, such people are qualified to be a decent lady outside."

The old lady's complexion is blue and white, which is called a good-looking one.Not long after Mrs. Shen entered the house, the old lady made a fuss about taking a good concubine for Lord Shen. In order to suppress Mrs. Shen, this good concubine had to be chosen. She must be beautiful, smart, decent and able to read. After searching for more than a year to write, I finally found Aunt Wang. At that time, the old lady was very satisfied.

Whenever Mrs. Shen came to pay her respects, she must ask Aunt Wang.Mrs. Shen has a seat in front of the old lady, so Aunt Wang can also join Xiudun.Even this time when Mrs. Shen returned to Beijing, Aunt Wang was still able to pay her respects in Changchun Garden, which shows the status of Aunt Wang in front of the old lady.

However, in the end it was a concubine, originally to suppress Mrs. Shen, and later because Aunt Wang gave birth to Lord Shen's only son.As soon as Mrs. Shen became pregnant, the old lady was busy dealing with Mrs. Shen and taking care of the third room, so she almost forgot about Aunt Wang.

At this moment, she is not willing to protect Aunt Wang either.Firstly, it was because Aunt Wang's status was not enough, and she was just a concubine; secondly, a third wife was involved in the middle.The second lady came to tell her the truth before, and the third lady was not clean about this matter. If Aunt Wang didn't have to convict her, then the third lady would not be able to hide her mistakes.

Choosing between her beloved daughter-in-law and a concubine, the old lady is undoubtedly partial.

But she can be eccentric, but she can't be told clearly, especially when Shen Ruyi said this, she slapped her loudly on the face. How did she welcome Aunt Wang into the door before, now she said The more you say it, the more you slap your face.

On the contrary, Mrs. Shen San had a conscience, and hurriedly smoothed things over for the old lady: "This person is subject to change, maybe he looked good at first, but then he was stimulated by something without knowing it, and became extreme. It’s all impossible to tell.”

Fearing that Shen Ruyi would discuss with her some unchanging issues, Third Madam Shen hurriedly turned to Second Madam Shen, "Second Sister-in-law, you just say that you just talk about the evidence. We ordinary people can't figure out what the murderer is thinking. Isn't it? As long as there is evidence, it is ironclad and no one can refute it. When the time comes, we will directly send people to the government. My sister-in-law always likes to do this."

As he said that, he turned to look at Mrs. Shen, and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

"As long as the evidence is convincing, it will be sent to the yamen in a short while." Mrs. Shen nodded and replied. Second Mrs. Shen took a deep breath and finally understood that the people in the long room are all eloquent. But for theirs, let's show the evidence. These evidences are not just for them to see.

Turning around, Second Madam Shen asked someone to bring the most important character in the story she just told - Fu Rong, the second-class maid in Aunt Wang's yard.

Although Aunt Wang is just an aunt with a low status, but because she gave birth to a son and a daughter for Lord Shen, this status is naturally different.On Mrs. Shen's side, there are two maids, four first-class maids, four second-class maids, and eight third-class maids. To Aunt Wang's side, there are one elder maid, three second-class maids, fourth elder brother and third-class maids. The nanny who waits on her.

As soon as Furong entered the door, she rushed to Aunt Wang's side in panic: "Auntie, help me, Auntie, hurry up, uncle and servant girl."

Mrs. Shen Er sneered, then called out again, and someone brought in three more women.Mrs. Shen didn't know each other, and neither did Shen Ruyi.

Mrs. Shen extended her finger and introduced: "This is Mrs. Li, the second gatekeeper. This is Mrs. Wang, the woman who washes vegetables in the kitchen. This is Mrs. Wan, the neighbor of Furong's family. Mrs. Li saw it on the afternoon of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. Fu Rong went out, Wan Pozi saw Fu Rong's mother go to the pharmacy at dusk on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and Wang Po's saw Fu Rong touching the bowl of medicine on the morning of the first day of the lunar new year."

Aunt Wang couldn't help laughing and said, "Second Madam, are you sure that what this Mrs. Wang said is true? Even Zhao Momo and Qingyu have said it, and no one has touched that bowl of medicine. She stared at her so clearly that Mrs. Wang couldn't see it clearly? Besides, Furong is so big, and no one noticed when she went to the big kitchen?"

Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows slightly: "Who said no one found out? At that time, no one thought that it would be Furong who gave the medicine. Now Mrs. Wang remembered it, and everyone in the kitchen remembered it. Furong was indeed in the kitchen at that time." After Qingyu took away the bowl of medicine, Furong hurried back. These three are just the key witnesses, and there are many witnesses. Because there are too many witnesses, I was afraid of disturbing the old lady, so I didn’t let them. They come."

These last few sentences were deliberately turned around and explained to the old lady.The old lady nodded slightly, expressing her satisfaction with Mrs. Shen Er.Mrs. Shen Er smiled and started to tell the story again: "Miss Furong suddenly left the house on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and then Furong's mother went to the pharmacy. I asked someone to go to the pharmacy to ask. It describes a middle-aged woman who went to them to buy Sanleng. No matter in dress or appearance, she was the same as Furong's mother. Later, the little girl in Furong's room always said that Furong had a different smell. I specially asked San Leng to ask them, and they said it was the smell."
