In the last life, Mrs. Dong used to like to manipulate her with such a look of disappointment, and thus made one excessive request after another. It was foolish for him to see his mother-in-law like this, so he would be soft-hearted and compromise, and obey the instructions obediently.
Not only that, but you also have to spend a lot of money or rare items afterwards to please her and appease her mood.
All the rare treasures and fine ceramics that she brought as a dowry fell into Songhe Garden.
But before she died, she didn't get any pity or guilt. She only got one sentence: You deserved to end up in a situation where you lost both your life and property, and you brought it on yourself!
Oh, what a self-inflicted one.
In this life, if she still wants to manipulate her like this, go to hell!
"That bitch is not my flesh and blood!" Qiao Ruanxiang lowered his eyes, sat up, and retorted coldly.
He ignored her disappointed expression and made no attempt to admit her mistake and apologize.
Doubt appeared in Dong's cloudy eyes.
"What's wrong with Mrs. Qiao today? How can she be indifferent to her own disappointment? Normally, as long as she frowns, she will admit her mistake no matter who is right or wrong, and she will also give her a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to coax her. "
Qiao Ruanxiang heard Dong's thoughts again. Now she was sure that not only would she be reborn, she would also be able to hear their thoughts!
But the strange thing is that it seems that she can only hear the voices of Dong and Su Mo at present, and cannot hear the voices of other maids and wives.
Just when she was doubting, Zhiqiu came back and whispered a few words into her ear.
Surprise appeared on Qiao Ruanxiang's eyebrows, but it was fleeting.
Zhiqiu also brought four servants behind him. These were the servants brought by Qiao Ruanxiang from Qiao's family.
Two of them were carrying a stretcher with a small pile of wet things on it, covered by a white cloth.
The other two people were holding Wen Po, who was delivering the baby, in their hands.
Qiao Ruanxiang said: "This is our daughter that I asked Zhiqiu to fish out from the pond in the main courtyard."
She spoke the last five words very clearly, and looked deeply at Su Mo with a pair of cold eyes.
Su Mo's pupils shrank sharply, and the hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists.
"How could it be, how could she know that the child was in the pond! There is no way that anyone told her that she was a trusted servant who did this! Could it be that someone saw her?"
He suddenly panicked.
Qiao Ruanxiang listened to his panicked thoughts, laughed secretly, and said: "It's a coincidence, I also captured Po Wen, and I passed out during the birth. You don't believe anything I say. But you should believe Po Wen's words." Bar?"
After saying this, she looked at Aunt Zhou again, her eyes flickered, and finally fell on Mrs. Dong.
Seeing this made Mr. Dong feel furious in his heart.
"This bitch, it's true that she was just pretending to be weak and docile before, but after she accepted Xu'er as her eldest son, she is digging up corpses and seizing the old woman! She is really scheming and despicable!"
"But hasn't this Wenpo been sent out of the house long ago? How could she still be caught!"
Mrs. Dong frowned and looked at Aunt Zhou.
Grandma Zhou had a look of horror on her face, and the flesh on her face was shaking with fear.
She doesn’t know what’s going on with this stable woman!
"Po Wen, let me ask you, is the child I gave birth to a son or a daughter?" Qiao Ruanxiang's voice was as cold as ice and hit Po Wen directly on the head.
Wen Po had already been beaten all over her body. When she heard Qiao Ruanxiang's questioning, she was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground with a plop when she thought of the servant's words to threaten her, and took action on the spot.
"Madam is giving birth to a daughter!"
"Was my daughter still alive when she was born?"
"Live, live! Still alive! But it was not the villain who died later, and the villain didn't know what happened!"
"It's Aunt Zhou, it must be her. After she took the child away, she gave the villain a piece of silver and lied that she had given birth to a son!" As if grasping at a life-saving straw, she looked up and pointed at Aunt Zhou. she said.
The servant who beat her said that Madam wanted to report to the government and accuse her of murdering the heirs of the Su family.
She was just a midwife, only looking for money, she really didn't do anything to kill anyone.
She cannot bear this crime. If she does, she will definitely die!
Qiao Ruanxiang spoke quietly again.
"You mean, Grandma Zhou killed my child?"
"Yes! Everything the villain said is true!"
Aunt Zhou was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground and cried out: "This old slave definitely did not harm Madam's child, Madam knows it well!"
She really didn't kill the baby, she was only responsible for changing the baby.
After hearing this, Qiao Ruanxiang's eyebrows were cold and she looked at Su Mo and Dong respectively.
He added: "I am the most open-minded and fair person, and I will not wrong anyone, but I must find the person who killed my child. I have already ordered someone to report to the official, and the official will be here soon!"
It wasn't until he heard the news that Su Mo was completely panicked!
It was just a family matter, so the death of a baby wouldn't be a big deal. Qiao Ruanxiang was a businesswoman, so no matter how ruthless she was, she wouldn't cause any trouble.
Even if she knew that she was going to take over the eldest son's position with someone else's child, it would be useless to be tougher if she didn't want to.
It is certain that Xu'er is the eldest son!
But he didn't expect that she would secretly send someone to report it to the official!
Su Mo: "You can't report it to the official, otherwise your career will be over if this matter makes a big fuss!"
Mrs. Dong: "You can't report it to the official, otherwise it will be spread that the Su family killed their eldest daughter for an illegitimate son, and the entire Su family will become a joke in the capital!"
Qiao Ruanxiang listened to the noise between the two of them and sneered with her lips curled up.
"Xiang'er has something to say, please tell me, but you can't report it to the official! Hurry up and order someone to recover this servant!"
Qiao Ruanxiang snorted coldly, "My child died inexplicably, why can't I report it to the official?"
Su Mo's eyebrows were twisted into twists, and he was clenching his back molars, while his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking of countermeasures.
Finally, after thinking about it again and again, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Xu'er is indeed not your child, and this dead baby is indeed our daughter! But there is another hidden story in this matter. Please evacuate the people first and then listen to me explain in detail!"
Qiao Ruanxiang's eyes lit up when she heard this. This was what she was waiting for.
After holding on to Qiao for a while, he pretended to ask Zhiqiu to order someone to track down the person who reported to the officials.
After that, she had free time to sit on the edge of the bed and look at him, waiting for him to quibble.
At this time, only Qiao Ruanxiang and him were left in the room. He said softly: "Our child actually died shortly after he was born. The child belonged to me and the other family members. It was my arrangement for Grandma Zhou to do what she did."
"As for the child being buried in the pond, I also love my child very much and hope that she can be buried in this Su Mansion so that she can stay with us in this way. That's why she was buried in the pond."
As soon as he finished speaking his affectionate words, Qiao Ruanxiang heard his cold and indifferent voice.
"Compared with reporting to the police, it's better to move the son out of the house and bite the child to death. Qiao Ruanxiang is stupid. As long as I appease her, she won't pursue it, and Xu'er will still be remembered in her name. Be the eldest son."
Qiao Ruanxiang snorted coldly, "Haha, you killed your own child, and you still want to covet the position of the eldest son?" dream!
