Xu Nuo walked out from behind Lu with a calm expression. 【Read full text】
She was furious in her heart, but she didn't show any of it on her face. She just asked aggrievedly: "I don't know what I did wrong, my grandson, to make my grandparents and aunt so angry."
Mrs. Zhang glanced over with disgust and resentment, and said with trembling hands: "Unfilial descendants, you poisoned my mother to mute, yet you dare to ask questions here, and you won't kneel down to me."
"My grandson used medicine to poison his mother to mute?" Xunuo looked around in disbelief, and the reactions of everyone in the room were clearly reflected in her eyes: "My mother treats me so well, it is impossible for me to do such a thing, no matter what Before amnesia or now.”
Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips tightly, without even looking at Xu Nuo, she said coldly: "Kneel down."
"When grandma asks her grandson to kneel down, she also needs to tell her what mistake she has made. Otherwise, her grandson will not accept her kneeling down for no reason." Xu Nuo said with a sense of grievance, but his lowered eyes were very clear and devoid of any emotion.
"You are unfilial and unkind. How dare you argue with such a big mistake? If someone comes, you will be treated according to the family law!" Mrs. Zhang was almost so angry that she stood up and pointed at the painting in the air with her trembling hands.
Mrs. Lu had never seen her mother-in-law so angry, but she couldn't watch her daughter being beaten. She stepped forward without any hesitation: "Mom, this matter needs to be investigated further. You can't just beat Liu Niang like this, and the family The father should ask for the law."
Sixteen years after she married into the Xu family, she contradicted her mother-in-law for the first time.
Mrs. Zhang poked the tea cup on the table and snorted coldly: "Let's not talk about anything else. She will be punished for contradicting her elders, sir!" After saying this, she looked at Mrs. Xu, as if to say that he would not agree immediately. About to fall out.
Mr. Xu shook his head helplessly, glanced at Mrs. Zhang, then at Mrs. Lu and Xu Nuo, and then said: "Leave Liu Niang's affairs to her father. The matter has not been investigated clearly. There is no need for family law. Let's go to the ancestral hall first." . Dalang stays, everyone else should disperse."
Xu Guyu remained silent. Seeing his father staying behind, he just nodded and did not see Ding's wink.
Zhang was very angry, but could not refute, and was helped away by Ding.
After a while, only the Xu family and his son were left in the house.
"Before I leave, I asked you to keep this matter a secret and find out. How did you do it? You didn't find out what happened and you didn't tell me, so you let this matter spread outside!" Mr. Xu's voice was filled with anger, and his eyes were blazing. .
Xu Guyu sighed heavily in his heart, then raised his head and whispered: "Father, I have been busy collecting tea these days, and I really don't have time to care about this matter. Besides, my sister-in-law can also speak."
"Ridiculous! The second daughter-in-law is cured of her illness, will that bowl of ** disappear? You are busy, wouldn't you send a steward to check, or the eldest daughter-in-law? She is in charge of the inner house, can't she find out these things?" Mr. Xu stared, waiting for his son's answer.
"Father, you know, these days are the busiest time of the year. Liu Niang was injured when I was about to check. Later, she lost her memory and had no chance to check. The second son called the people in Liu Niang's courtyard at that time. , I asked around, but they just said that Liu Niang suddenly got a pack of medicine, and then boiled it and gave it to the second sister-in-law, and no one knew where the medicine came from. "
Xu Guyu clenched his fists and his temples were slightly wet. His father had not been so angry for many years. He was so busy these days that he couldn't go back home. How could he notice such a trivial matter? His father was really making a fuss out of a molehill.
Xu Qian made an appointment to meet Xu Liuniang at the rockery, and did not allow Xu Nuo to bring anyone with her. Then she handed the medicine to her and told her not to tell anyone. Xu Liuniang was trying to save Ms. Lu at that time, but she would not tell others about it. Therefore, no one knew where Xu Liuniang's medicine came from, let alone Xu Qian.
Unless the memory is restored and there is conclusive evidence.
Xu Nuo closed her eyes and knelt in the ancestral hall, and the scene of Lu's crying flashed in her mind.
Kneeling quietly, with the faint smell of incense lingering at the tip of her nose, her anger was extinguished little by little, and she thought rationally about what happened today.
Who spread the word about this and publicized it?
The news spread throughout Suzhou overnight!
She had a bad time with Xu Erniang in the past few days. She was very likely, but she would not know that her mother became mute because of the medicine she sent.
Ding? Impossible, she was in a hurry to discuss marriage for her daughter, and she was the first to disagree that there was any stain on the Xu family's reputation.
It is even more impossible for people like servants and maids. Even if they are brave enough to spread the word, no one will believe it due to their status, and it is impossible for the matter to spread overnight.
Xu Qian?
Aunt Du?
Who is it?
From Sishi to Youshi, a few hours later, her knees were already numb, but her mind became clearer and clearer.
Chuntang has been outside the ancestral hall. She asked Chuntang to send a letter to Nanny Li, asking her to pay attention to the people who left the house yesterday. She should check it out now.
There was a noise outside the ancestral hall. Xu Nuo raised his ears and heard Mr. Lu calling "Master" one after another.
Another man's clear voice came: "Wan Niang, your throat has just been healed. Don't cry. Leave everything to me. Go back and rest." Lu's maiden name was Wan Chu.
Father is back!
Thoughts flashed across his mind, Xu Gucheng pushed open the heavy door of the ancestral hall and whispered: "Liu Niang, I can't forgive you as a father."
His daughter had suffered such injustice, but he, the father, was not here, and he couldn't help but hold the hand at her side.
Mrs. Lu followed Xu Gucheng, her peach blossom eyes filled with tears.
Xu Gucheng turned around and comforted Mrs. Lu for a few words, and asked the maid to help her back first.
When Xu Nuo saw her father sending everyone out, she knew that he had something to say to her: "Father, don't worry. A child who contradicts his grandmother should be punished."
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that his daughter could still talk to him calmly after knowing this. There was no grievance, unwillingness or resentment in her voice.
"Since grandpa punishes you to kneel in the ancestral hall, dad can't take you back like this. Xu Zheng will ask Aunt Li to pick you up. As for those rumors, don't take it to heart, dad will take care of it." Xu Gucheng's voice was very soft, but very It's reassuring.
"Dad, my maid Huan'er was sold by my eldest aunt a few days ago." Not only did Xu Nuo's words not have the softness and softness of a Jiangnan woman, but her words were precise and precise.
Xu Gucheng's expression was slightly calm. When he came back today, Wan Niang said that Liu Niang had changed a lot after her illness and became much more thoughtful. This was indeed the case when she saw her now.
Seeing that his father was silent, Xu Nuo continued: "When I first woke up, Huan'er saw that I was silent, so she chatted with me. She said that Zijuan in the fourth sister's room had a brother who liked gambling and often came to the house to find Zijuan. The cuckoo begged for money, and last year he actually found a job in a medical hospital. How could a medical hospital want such a person?"
