"No, no!"
Peng retorted without thinking.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was stunned.
That high and sharp voice carries the implication that there is no silver in this place.
Rong, who had been watching from the sidelines, seemed to have been enlightened. He pushed aside the crowd, looked at her with wide eyes, and asked in a painful voice: "Husband, Madam, it was you. It was you who incited Mother Zheng to poison me?"
Mrs. Peng shook her head and muttered, "I didn't..."
This voice is so shaky, it doesn't sound like the words spoken by a normally arrogant lady.
Mrs. Rong seemed to be so angry at her. She rubbed her teeth and cried in her heart, "Madam, don't you? Why are you so afraid of commanding someone to bring someone to the punishment department? Aren't you just afraid that things will get worse?" Can’t you hold it back?”
Yes, Mrs. Peng was afraid of making a big fuss.
That's because he was afraid that Gu Xiaoniang's matter and fourth brother's matter would be mentioned and slipped out.
But that can't be said.
But if you don't say it, wouldn't you just accept Rong's words and admit the crime of poisoning Miss Rong?
Peng's saw-shaped gourd-shaped pestle was there, fueling Rong's arrogance. She cried out, "First Brother Zhuo, then Brother Six, are you going to poison my Sister Wan to death?" ah?"
Mrs. Rong mourned, then turned around and knelt down solemnly towards Shen Shi, "Master, you have to make the decision for me. If this continues, I really don't dare to stay here anymore. Maybe one day Nunu will never be able to stay again." I can no longer serve you, Master."
Mrs. Rong cried very passionately, and her words and deeds were all submissive, just like before, she used retreat to advance.
Shen Shi became furious and went up to the ground without hesitation and slapped Mr. Peng, "You bastard! Tell me! Did you instigate others to do these nasty things?"
Peng was completely unprepared and took the slap. She fell to the ground and turned her head to one side. When she turned around, half of her cheeks were already bulging like hills.
Shen Nanyi on the side called "Mother" and quickly supported Mrs. Peng. Her eyes, which had been arrogant just now, burst into tears and she cried at Shen Shi, "Dad, you still have to listen to mother. What are you talking about? Don’t you just believe what I said with this slap? "
Shen Shi fell to the ground with anger at Shen Nanyi, and the hand pointing at her was trembling, "After all, you are so indulgent that you dare to come and question me in public? You said I don't believe your mother, then look at it Looking at the cruel things she has done in the past, is it still worthy of my trust?"
His words were sharper than a spear, and they poked holes in Peng's heart. The wind penetrated through the holes, making the tip of her heart feel cold, and the pain on her face felt like fire. She was caught between such a world of ice and fire. Inside, the voices became sad.
"Master, please ask yourself, are you really like this because of what happened to me in the past?"
Shen Shi suffocated, "So, what do you think of me? Is it possible that I'm still going to do that thing of pampering my concubine and destroying my wife?"
If a concubine spoils his wife and the trouble becomes serious, he will have to beat the drum and report it to the Yamen. The husband will lose his official position and be jailed, or he will be punished for ninety years. At that time, even the Peng family will be disgraced.
In such a world of cannibalism, women simply cannot live as they please.
Not even Peng can.
Mrs. Peng couldn't help but feel sad. She held up the brocade handkerchief and closed her eyes, "What about the master? Do you think I am really such a vicious person? I have been married to you for five years, and now I have been married for a whole year." Master, don’t you know what kind of person a slave is after more than ten years?”
She said it so sincerely, but Shen Shi seemed to have heard a joke, "You asked me to ask myself, why don't you ask yourself, do you have the nerve to say this?"
Old Mrs. Yin couldn't stand hearing it any longer, and she started shouting, "Shut your mouth!"
With the impressive voice, Shen Shi immediately sifted out the chaff, bowed to Old Mrs. Yin and said, "Mother..."
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Yin glanced at me, "Can't you understand what I'm saying? I told you to shut up!"
Shen Shi stood there like a chicken in the rain, not daring to say a word.
As Mrs. Yin looked at it, she felt more and more confused that the mud could not hold up the wall. She snorted coldly: "You dignified gentlemen, instead of taking charge of the overall situation, you join in the quarrel. Do you think the house is not lively enough?"
After saying that, regardless of Shen Shi's expression, she turned to look at Mrs. Rong. Considering that she still had her sixth brother in her belly, she softened her voice and said, "Ms. Rong, you have been wronged. I understand, but this is not the case at this moment." When it was your turn to ask questions, the commander was still there."
No matter how angry Mrs. Rong was, she couldn't say anything. She could only hide her tears and retreat to the side. Shen Nanwan went up to hold her in time. As for what Fu Er said, no one paid attention. Everyone looked at the people involved. Waiting for the next words.
After all, Mrs. Yin is a person who has experienced great storms. She was just able to vent her anger and accuse the case, but now she can calmly say: "Madam, what I just said is right, you have to explain this matter well."
After Fang Fang was interrupted, Peng's mind finally became clearer. With tears in her eyes, she knelt straight again and said, "Mother, I have always abided by my duty. How dare I do such a thing? I really want to The scandal of the family should not be made public. Since I am the mistress of the Shen family, I naturally have to pay close attention to the lintel of the Shen family. How can such a thing be publicized to the criminal department?"
Xiao Yichen chuckled lightly, "Then what you said, Madam, is that firstly I don't want the family scandal to be publicized, and secondly I feel that I have been wronged, so I have to bear the charge of being beaten into a crime."
Mrs. Peng choked, and Xiao Yichen kept up his efforts, "Your mother Zheng told me this herself, saying that she did these things because she was assigned by you."
Mrs. Peng was in a trance and was hit by a stick. She stared at Zheng's mother dumbfounded. Only then did she come back to her senses. It was like waking up from a dream. This person on the ground, even if she was slapped by her on weekdays, still... Her mother, who was still obedient to her orders, now bit her back.
Mrs. Peng shook her head and pointed at Zheng's mother with hatred, "Has your heart been eaten by a dog? I usually treat you so kindly. Even if your brother goes to school, I have to take care of him. I didn't expect that you would repay kindness with hatred and give me everything." The blame is all thrown on my head!"
She was in a daze because she was so angry that she came to question him with tears in her eyes and started to talk nonsense.
But in fact, there were special rules for what he said, and he secretly used his brother's future to blackmail Mother Zheng.
Shen Nanbao watched from the side, sneering in her heart. She thought that by taking Qiao like this, Mother Zheng would be willing to take advantage of her?
How could Xiao Yichen, such a meticulous person, not have thought of this?
To put it another way, Xiao Yichen had expected it a long time ago, so he took Zheng's mother's descendants as a threat, and then he dared to bring this person to the Shen Mansion to confront Peng.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Mama Zheng, who was paralyzed on the ground like a weed, immediately became energetic and struggled to sit up from the ground to refute.
"Madam, everything I said is true. Where did I slander you? Isn't it the one you ordered me to wrap nux vomica in the candied fruit that Miss Rong eats every day? You also specifically told me that when the time came, five The medicine took effect not long after the girl went out, and Rong Xiaoniang noticed it, so that she could bring back that bitch Feng Yue..."
The more Mrs. Peng listened, the more frightened she became. She always had the feeling of hot buns dripping with sugar juice. This was not going to work. Zheng’s mother, Mrs. Rong, could shake the beans out of the bamboo tube. How could she cut off her mouth when it came to her fourth brother? .
Mrs. Peng stepped forward and slapped Mother Zheng's face, "I see that the older you get, the more confused your brain becomes. Why did I ask you to do these things? I didn't even hear about Nux Vomica." However, you just used the bits and pieces you heard about to frame me, what did I do to make you so resentful?"
Mother Zheng covered her face and looked at her with wide eyes, "God, madam, even if you speak without conscience, you have to get ahead of your head. You have already said before that you are good to me, how can you resent me?" What about you? I just confessed everything for your own good, madam, and wanted you to stop going astray like this."
Mrs. Peng was really choked this time, but Shen Nanbao stood up and said: "So mother, you are just planning to put this crime on Feng Yue when I reach Jinling and make me suffer the loss of being dumb. You Why do you do that?"
Shen Nanyi looked at Shen Nanbao and said in a cold voice: "It has not yet been decided whether my mother did this. Are you so determined to convict my mother? How shameless do you have it?"
Shen Nanbao raised his eyebrows, somewhat dumbfounded, "When the matter has reached this point, whether it is my mother or Mother Zheng, my maid has suffered unjustly. Should I ask why they did this? They framed me so innocently. What is the maid doing?"
Shen Nanyi said without thinking: "What can I do? Your mother-in-law killed my fourth brother, and you are still so peaceful now. Ask yourself, are you embarrassed?"
Mrs. Peng was really speechless now.
She tried so hard to expose this matter, but as a result, she, the sister, had to hold back and said, "It's okay now." Everyone was woken up by such a stick. Even Zheng's mother could take advantage of this matter. Come and raft her.
Mrs. Peng's heart was filled with despair.
However, Shen Nanbao raised the corners of his lips inch by inch. One must know how to assess the situation and take a chance on oneself at the appropriate time.
Now was the best time. Mr. Peng had done too many bad things. Even if his grandmother and father broke their teeth and swallowed them, they would never tolerate it again and again.
Shen Nanbao quickly suppressed his smile and nodded seriously, "Sister, what you said seems to make sense, so you don't believe that your mother has assigned Mother Zheng like this, so what you mean is that Mother Zheng feels sorry for her mother from the bottom of her heart, so she secretly Are you complaining for your mother?"
Shen Nanbao turned his head, his clear eyes reflected Mother Zheng's face, "Mother Zheng, do you mean you are the eldest sister?"
Peng's face turned pale and she hurriedly raised her eyes.
With such a move, she met Xiao Yichen's eyes.
