MTL - Feng Xing-Chapter 6
"Also, you didn't just look like you were trying to steal something, your clothes were all untied. Two gentlemen and old ladies, this Qian Er is obviously a lie, and the third grandma..."
"Wait, wait, wait." Sun Wenmao interrupted her: "I'll say it again, this matter has nothing to do with the third grandma, if you continue to talk about her, be careful that I won't spare you!"
The third young master has always been an unscrupulous bastard, everyone in the house knew it, but at this time he was blushing and squinting at people, his appearance was a bit scary.
The old lady said: "Stand on the side for me, there is no place for you to talk here. Mother He is right, what else do you have to say, Qian Er?"
Qian Er cried and kowtowed non-stop: "Old lady, I really don't have one. The clothes are messed up because I climbed in through the window. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaotao, I just climbed in from the window, and Xiaotao came in."
…
Xiaotao was called up.
Her small face was still pale, and she seemed to be in shock. The old lady asked her if Qian Ergang had climbed in through the window when she entered Fang Fengsheng's bedroom.
She thought for a while and said, "Qian Er seemed to have crawled in through the window. The window was open and he was standing by the window."
Qian Er complained: "Old lady, the young one really wanted to steal something for money. As for why he chose to ask Qiutang, it was because the location of Wenqiutang was the most remote and few people usually passed by. And during the holidays, girls and women We must have all gone to drink, so it must be okay. The younger one just found a window and turned in. I really didn’t expect it to be the fourth grandma’s bedroom. Give the younger one ten courages, and dare not trespass on the grandma’s bedroom. I also ask the old lady to spare the little one, and the little one will never dare again!"
This explanation is not unreasonable, is this really an accident and a coincidence?
Mother He hesitated and wanted to say something, but Fang Fengsheng pulled her from behind.
"You daring slave, you still want the master to spare you and break into the back house to steal things. Someone, pull Qian Er down and beat him twenty boards to drive you out of the house."
…
With Qian Ergui crying and howling and being dragged down, the hall finally became quiet.
The old lady said to Fang Fengsheng in a friendly manner: "I'm sorry, I didn't scare you. I would have taken you out with me if I knew about it. Mrs. Song, I will ask someone to find a doctor to show Fengsheng later. After such a toss, ask the doctor to prescribe some tranquilizing medicine."
"Yes, mother." Mrs. Song replied.
"Okay, let's go. I've been tired all day, so I don't stop." The old lady waved her hand sleepily, and Zhou's mother helped her stand up.
Everyone else went out, but Feng Sheng stood still.
"Even if it was an accident, should the third sister-in-law apologize to me? The third sister-in-law broke in, and before she could figure out anything, she just stole people one by one. I wasn't alone at that time, there were servants standing in a room , What will outsiders think when this word is heard?"
Fang Fengsheng's words stopped everyone's movements.
The old lady sat back and looked at the eldest lady: "Mr. Huang, what do you say?"
The eldest lady looked at Mrs. Hu with distaste, and scolded: "You have no vision, why don't you apologize soon? You are not convinced that you usually speak freely, and you have ruined the whole family's face!"
After finishing speaking, the eldest wife left angrily, and the two daughters-in-law of the eldest house hurriedly followed.
Sun Wenmao wanted to stop him, but with so many people watching, he could only watch Hu Shi come to Fang Fengsheng.
Mrs. Hu clenched her handkerchief tightly, with a cramped smirk on her face, and blessed her: "Fourth siblings, please don't be offended. You know I'm used to being open-mouthed. The third sister-in-law is here to apologize to you. I was wrong. I don't care. You should talk nonsense without seeing clearly.”
Feng Sheng glanced at her, with a calm expression: "Since the third sister-in-law is sincerely apologizing, if I continue to pursue one, two, three, I will not be generous. I hope that the third sister-in-law will be cautious in her words and deeds in the future. Make the same mistake again."
"What the fourth sibling said, the third sister-in-law will remember."
On the way back, Mother He asked, "Girl, why didn't you let me tell you that Qian Er was standing in front of the bed at that time, and he didn't look like he was here to steal things. Also, what he said at the time was obviously trying to make people misunderstand you." She has an affair with him. And Xiaotao, she didn't run out early or late, but she ran out after the third grandma came."
It seems that mother He is not stupid and has not been fooled.
Feng Sheng looked behind and saw Xiaotao following far behind, then said: "Even if you say it, what's the use? People get involved with such dirty things? Didn't you see the old After the wife made the final decision, everyone was relieved? This matter has become a big deal, it is not a good thing, and it will not sound good if it is spread out. "
What's more, Hu's family was also involved, just now Dafang's singing, reciting and beating made it very clear that this matter has nothing to do with Dafang. In fact, it is not to blame Da Fang for avoiding suspicion. If this matter is really related to the Hu family, what is it called?
Don't say that Mrs. Hu wants to apologize with death, Dafang will be ashamed to go out in the future.
So things can only be as they are now. Qian Er was greedy for a while, so he trespassed and asked Qiutang. Fortunately, nothing major happened.
After returning to Wenqiu Hall, Xiaotao knelt down in front of Fang Fengsheng with a thud.
"Fourth grandma, please punish me. It's because the slaves didn't keep their mouth shut. The slaves didn't do it on purpose. The slaves were too panicked at the time, so they ran away in a panic.
Go out and say the wrong thing in front of the third grandma. "
Xiaotao cried pitifully, her palm-sized face was full of tears, and her eyes were full of tears.
Perhaps Qian Er's behavior can explain the past, but Xiaotao's previous behavior can't be explained. Could it be that she was too panicked to bump into the third grandma and say something like, "there is a man in the fourth grandma's room?" 'if? It's too late for a loyal servant of the Lord to cover up, will he be like her?
Xiaodie saw how pitiful she was, and begged her beside her: "Fourth Grandma, please spare Xiaotao, let alone her, the servant was also shocked at that time."
Feng Sheng looked down at the Buddhist beads on his wrist.
The overall color of the beads is vermilion, the particles are of the same size, rosy and transparent, and each has a slightly raised eye-like pattern, which is a bit scary at first glance.
Little do they know that the water hyacinth Bodhi is a kind of bodhi seed, because it has a bud like a moon and a shape like a water hyacinth, so it is called the water hyacinth bodhi. According to rumors, the water hyacinth is the wise man among the bodhi seeds. Wearing the water hyacinth all the year round can increase people's wisdom.
This string of Buddhist beads was given to him by a friend of his father's many years ago, because there is a phoenix character in her name, and she likes this string of Buddhist beads. According to his father, when she saw this string of Buddhist beads, she would not lose it, and his father gave it to her as a gift. Anyway, from Fang Fengsheng's memory, this string of beads has been with her.
She rubbed the eye lines on the Bodhisattva, raised her head: "Xiao Tao, how old are you?"
Xiaotao was crying, she was not wary that Fang Fengsheng would ask such a question, she was stunned for a moment: "Your maidservant is fifteen this year."
"It's still small." The voice seemed to be sighing, but also sighed, "Forget it, go down, and be more careful in what you say and do in the future."
Xiaotao kowtowed again and again: "Thank you grandma for your kindness, thank you grandma for your kindness."
…
Everyone else stepped back, and Mother He sighed, but said nothing, and went down to do things.
Zhichun said: "Miss, this Xiaotao is really suspicious, so let her go like this?"
Feng Sheng counted the beads with one hand: "It's hard to force the mouse to jump out. It's better to keep her here than to replace another person whose details we don't know."
"That girl, why don't you tell Mother He about it? I always feel... feel..."
"What do you think?"
"It always feels bad."
"You don't know the nanny's character? She's not young anymore. Ever since I got married, she has worried about me a lot." Feng Sheng stopped counting the prayer beads and sighed: "And the nanny always feels that marrying People should be the best destination for women. If the husband and wife can be harmonious, it will be even better for children and grandchildren to be around their knees. But..."
Feng Sheng didn't say the rest, and Zhichun knew it too.
She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do so, but her life in the past ten years told her that it was right to listen to the girl.
"So where is Qiu?"
"Tell Zhiqiu, let her find out if Wang Yueer's words are arranged by the old lady today."
At first, Feng Sheng always felt that it had something to do with the old lady, but the behavior of Da Fang's family was too suspicious. Moreover, such a clumsy strategy really doesn't seem like the old lady's handwriting, so she will feel suspicious.
"Slave is going here."
Xiwu Hall
Everyone left, except the second master, Sun Qinghua, who did not leave. Seeing her son's posture, the old lady still didn't understand, she sighed and waved away all the servants.
"Mother, did you do what happened today?" Sun Qinghua wore a brown-green summer shirt, with a long thin face and only a tuft of beard on his chin, elegant yet majestic.
Although she had expected it a long time ago, the old lady still felt a little uncomfortable when she heard her son questioning herself like this, and said: "In your heart, is your mother the one who can do such a thing?"
Sun Qinghua didn't speak, the old lady gave a wry smile, and stroked her white hair at the sideburns.
Maybe many people in this mansion have forgotten, or even many people don't know, but Sun Qinghua knows, and the old lady herself knows what kind of person she is.
The old lady is not Mrs. Sun's first wife, she is just a house filler, and Uncle Sun Qingbin is the eldest son of the serious son.
But the old lady took care of Sun Qingbin, and after the death of old grandpa Sun, several concubines asked her to separate the family, and the family was reserved for her son, and it could only be her son. Sun Qingbin was raised and abandoned, and the old lady had to be concerned about her reputation, otherwise Sun Qingbin would not be able to stay in this family.
How can an old lady who can do all this be a good stubble, she was never bad at dealing with those aunts and concubines back then. Others didn't know about these things, and it was impossible for Sun Qinghua, as his own son, to not know about these things, so after today's incident happened, Sun Qinghua subconsciously felt that it was the old lady's handwriting.
why?
Move Wang Yueer's position, and don't let the Sun family get a mean name.
"If your mother did it, I would have done it so full of loopholes? Don't forget about Dafang's family."
Yes, there is also a large room.
It's just that Sun Qingbin has always been a character who doesn't care about everything and only cares about eating, drinking and having fun. The Huang family is extremely vulgar, and the next few sons are useless.
Even in the scene played by Hu Shi, Sun Wenmao, and Huang Shi before, he felt that Dafang didn't want to cause trouble and deliberately came to sensationalize.
"What good will it do them?"
Sun Qinghua must have been confused too, for saying such a thing, the old lady gave her a surprised look.
"Don't forget Wencheng's August exam. Fang's stealing was found out by Wencheng. Wouldn't it have no effect?!"
How could it have no effect? Maybe Dafang will send someone to 'kindly' inform Sun Wencheng, just waiting for him to fail the exam. As long as you miss this time, you will have to wait another three years, and a lot of things can happen in three years.
Houzhai's method is like this, it looks like it doesn't show the mountains and dews, but it directly attacks people's hearts. Killing people with a blunt knife hurts the most, and the old lady doesn't know when the eldest son who she never paid attention to became like this. Such a transformation did not happen overnight, but has gradually emerged in recent years.
Perhaps Sun Qingbin had known the sinister intentions of his stepmother a long time ago, but he just held back, or it might be because he looked back on the past that he discovered the hidden sword. No one knows exactly how, but the face has been maintained for so many years. Without definite evidence, the old lady will not turn against her eldest son.
After all, the Sun family still has an ancestral hall, as well as some clan elders and relatives, she dare not do too much.
Hearing what the old lady said, Sun Qinghua broke out in cold sweat, and said with embarrassment: "Mother, I'm sorry, my son shouldn't have misunderstood you."
The old lady waved her hand: "Come on, don't worry about this matter, I have my own opinion in my heart, it's good for them to do it like this, with their 'beautiful jade in front', there will be an explanation for what someone will do later, and there will be an explanation for Wen Cheng .”
"Mom, what do you mean?"
