"Sister-in-law, you are in your mother's house. No matter how angry you are, you can't vent it here." Mrs. Zhang stood up immediately. Because she stood up so quickly, the pendant on her ear kept shaking.
However, Mrs. Zhang's anger was different from that of the old lady. She couldn't even hold back and almost laughed.
Pan Zeyu just visited An Hongshao in the afternoon, but he didn't expect it to be effective so quickly. He said how could An Hongshao's stupid girl change all of a sudden? It must be Li's instigation.
It's fine now. After hearing Pan Zeyu's words, An Hongshao got into trouble with Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li rushed over angrily.
What a pity. At noon, An Hongshao made her angry and gave her a headache. She had to sleep for an hour or two, otherwise she would have gone to watch the excitement.
Mrs. Zhang affectionately took Mrs. Li's arm, "Who made my sister-in-law angry when she came back from outside? Could it be that the red-shao girl provoked her? Let me tell you, this girl's family can see that she is married and she is not from her own family. , if anything happens, we can just take care of it, and everything will be fine until she gets married. This son is different. He is a member of the family, and is closest to his mother. If his sister-in-law recognizes that Xin You is in front of her, there is no need to suffer. Such anger."
Snapped!
Before Zhang could finish talking, Li shook off Zhang's arm and slapped Zhang hard on the face.
The old lady was so shocked that the rosary beads in her hand fell to the ground, and she raised her hand tremblingly, "You are so presumptuous!"
Mrs. Zhang was completely stunned. She has been able to read people's faces since she was a child. She was raised like a biological daughter in her adoptive father's house. She married into her husband's family, whether it was the original wife of the previous big house or the current step-mother Li. There is no room that Zhang would like.
And now that Mrs. Zhang has survived, she has confidence in the An family. Even the second master will tolerate her. When has she ever been beaten like this?
For a moment, he froze in place and did not respond.
Mrs. Li ignored the old lady and just glared at Mr. Zhang angrily, "Bitch, what did you give Hongshao to eat? You are suffering from vomiting and diarrhea now. I want to tell you that if anything happens to Hongshao, I will risk my life." Even if your life comes, I won’t make it easy for you!”
Li's chest was rising and falling because of her anger.
Mrs. Zhang finally came to her senses, and tears instantly fell from her eyes. She covered her face with a handkerchief, turned around and knelt in front of the old lady, "Mom, I have lived to this age, and how can I be allowed to see anyone when I am beaten like this?" ? When Hongshao got sick, she could just see a doctor. How could she still blame me?"
Mrs. Li took two steps forward. She did not kneel down, but she was still closer to the old lady. She glared condescendingly at Ms. Zhang, "If I don't blame you, who should I blame? Hongshao went to your place to eat at noon, not you. Who else could it be?”
Mrs. Zhang had regained her senses at this moment, shook Mrs. Li's hand with her handkerchief, and shouted, unwilling to be outdone, "Do you have any conscience when you say this? Did I force your daughter to come to find me? I begged her to stay." Did she come down? Did she just eat the meal by herself? Why am I okay? Maybe she ate something and it’s all on me? "
After hearing Mrs. Zhang's excuse, Mrs. Li sneered, "Why did Hongshao go to your house? Is it because the people in the big kitchen bullied me too much and added dirt to the master's food? Besides, it's impossible for you to poison every time." Every dish was poisoned. Hongshao only ate the food from the big kitchen and your room. Do you control the big kitchen? Without your order, how dare they commit the following crimes? One after another, I won’t find you or me. Who to look for?"
"Why, it's my fault, why did I want to harm Hongshao? Besides, I can't keep an eye on the kitchen all the time." Under Li's questioning, Mrs. Zhang was unable to resist at all.
"Then let me ask you, after Hong Shao reported to you, have you punished the unruly slaves in the kitchen?" Ms. Li didn't give Ms. Zhang a chance to speak too much, and directly asked the most critical question.
But unfortunately, Mrs. Zhang didn't even mention punishing the unruly slaves, she didn't even ask.
"Hong Shao said he is a naughty slave, so he is a naughty slave? Everything must be based on evidence. My sister-in-law has never been in charge of the house. I don't know. A housekeeper doesn't mean to do things based on likes and dislikes."
As soon as Zhang said these words, the disdain in Li's eyes became thicker? "I have never managed a house? I can manage a house as big as the Tutor's, but I don't know how to manage a house? Since my brother and sister said they want evidence, have you checked? Who have you asked? Let's call them over and confront them one by one! Or do you want to make decisions for whomever you like?"
As soon as Mrs. Li finished speaking, she raised the hem of her skirt with both hands and knelt upright on Mrs. Zhang's left side. She looked up at the old lady and said, "Please mother, Hong Shao is not only the daughter of my An family, but also the daughter-in-law of the Lian family." , there are three adults in the Lian family, I guess they are not afraid of getting into trouble."
She didn't kneel just now, but now it has more weight.
The old lady was so noisy that she had a headache. She was already old. Ms. Zhang below was crying and Ms. Li above her was raising her voice to demand justice. Not to mention that she was so old. Even young people couldn't stand it. A way to make noise.
The old lady rubbed her brows, "This matter needs to be investigated vigorously, but you don't want to keep silent about the Lian family. No matter how powerful their family is, they can still reach out to the father-in-law's house?"
The old lady still prefers her second wife, "Besides, I have known your sister-in-law's temper for so many years. To say that she poisoned Hongshao is a bit harsh."
"What do you mean, mother, we, Hongshao, deserve to be unlucky if we eat unclean food?" Ms. Li argued hard and would not back down.
Li's voice was so loud that the old lady's ears were buzzing.
The old lady's face became worse and worse, "I didn't say it was deserved. Since the people below are not serving the master wholeheartedly, they just sell them out. As for you two sisters-in-law, you are so red-faced arguing here?"
"Mom!" Mrs. Zhang wanted to say something else, but the old lady raised her hand to block it. "Okay, but how can it be appropriate to make a noise about a trivial matter? Or should I, the elder, not listen to what I say? Everyone Have you thrown aside filial piety?"
Everyone is like this. As long as it doesn't hurt you, it's a trivial matter.
The old lady doesn't care as long as it doesn't go into the old lady's pocket.
At the end of the day, the old lady was so noisy that she felt very annoyed. She just felt that she had to agree to some unimportant things, so she quickly sent the two of them away.
"Since my mother trusts my siblings so much, my daughter-in-law naturally doesn't dare to refute her, just in the kitchen." Ms. Li glanced at Ms. Zhang and raised her lips slightly. If she wanted to fool people like this, she would never agree.
