"Old slave is Chunlan, a girl. She grew up under the eyes of the old lady. She is honest and abides by the rules. I never asked her to climb high. I just want to find someone for her to live with in the future..."
After more than ten years, the temperament of Grandma Jiang and even Mrs. Shen, the same thing may be said differently, and the final result may be very different.
Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, thinking that Chunlan climbed into Shen Zhonglei's bed and was punished by Mrs. Xu.
Although Shen Zhonglei only has one son, Mrs. Shen is also a little dissatisfied.
However, Shen Zhonglei is now in his prime, and Mrs. Shen maintains her identity and does not want to be known as interfering in her son's affairs, so she has not interfered.
But the girl climbed into bed, which was unruly and something she couldn't tolerate.
This is because Aunt Jiang has served her for many years. If it were anyone else, she would have no patience to listen anymore.
Aunt Jiang continued: "This old slave has already set his sights on a young man. He is just waiting for the master to be promoted next year, so he will ask the old lady for her grace to let Chunlan come back and marry her! Who knows, just because the girl accidentally found her at home? There is something wrong with the account book, the second lady, the second lady actually..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen slightly realized that there was something wrong in the writing. From what Mother Jiang said, it didn't sound like Chunlan had not learned her lesson and climbed into the master's bed. It was more like Mrs. Xu had opened Chunlan's face and revealed her identity. ?
If this is the case, Mrs. Shen's previous anger towards Mrs. Xu can be reduced a bit, and if nothing else, she can at least have a general understanding.
"The second madam actually indulged my nephew and ruined my Chunlan. Not only Chunlan, that beast did all sorts of things in the second master's back house. In addition to Chunlan, he also ruined several maids..." Aunt Jiang fell to the ground and cried loudly, "That girl Chunlan , Old lady, you know that honest bad guys don’t dare to cause trouble, and they don’t dare to say a word when they are being ruined, so they can only swallow their own tears and blood..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen finally couldn't sit still anymore. She sat up straight, interrupted Grandma Jiang, and asked sternly: "What did you say! Impossible!"
Mrs. Shen is a person who has been following the rules all her life. She really can't believe that such a thing would happen.
"No matter how confused the second daughter-in-law is, she also has a daughter at home. How could she allow her foreign man to behave so mischievously in the back house!"
As Mrs. Shen said these words, she suddenly remembered the letter she had just read, and her tone immediately hesitated.
The Xu family had already taught Shen Yunyao this virtue, forcing the second child to send the child back to his hometown for his own discipline.
Could she really not do such a ridiculous thing?
But after all, Mrs. Xu was the daughter-in-law she personally selected. The reason was that she was not as aloof and aloof as Liu Yaxuan, and she had a low eyebrow and was able to care for her husband and raise her children well.
I have only been away from home for a few years, how could it be like this!
Aunt Jiang hurriedly complained: "Old lady, everything the old slave said is true, and I dare not lie. Not only did the second lady's natal nephew do mischief in the back house, but when he left a year ago, the second lady also treated him as a child. Several maids he had abused were given to him and asked to be taken back to the Xu family.
"But Chunlan's marriage contract is still in the hands of the old lady. Chunlan also begged the second lady not to let her go to the Xu family. She is willing to return to the old house and serve the old lady all her life without getting married. But the second lady let Han in the room Coincidentally, after pouring down a pot of poison, Chunlan was put into the carriage going back to the Xu family.
"My poor Chunlan has had a bad temper since she was a child. After waking up in the middle of the road, she would rather jump out of the car than leave. She even sprained her foot when she escaped. She had no money and no official guide, and she didn't dare to go back. At the master’s house, I could only beg all the way back to Qi County..."
Mrs. Shen initially looked surprised, but then her expression became calmer and calmer, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking.
Hearing that Grandma Jiang suddenly became silent, Mrs. Shen asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you say anything?"
Aunt Jiang hesitated for a moment and said: "The following words are really...I am afraid that I will dirty the old lady's ears."
Old Mrs. Shen snorted coldly and said: "I have lived for such a long time and I have never heard of any scandalous things. Just tell me and I want to listen. This is not enough. There is something worse!"
"After Chunlan came home, the old slave didn't dare to say anything and kept hiding her at home. The old slave was also afraid. After all, this child had been away from home for several years. What if he learned bad things outside and came back to talk nonsense and slander the master? , so I asked someone to inquire..."
Old Mrs. Shen rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Listening to what you say will really make me anxious to death!"
"The old slave found out that less than a month after the second lady's natal nephew went home to celebrate the New Year, on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a maid suddenly caught wind and died... I also heard that the second lady gave her a gift. Several maids were beaten to death by the Xu family..."
"What?" Even though the old lady Xu felt that she was well-informed, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up when she heard this.
"How old is the nephew of the second daughter-in-law, so..." Even though Old Mrs. Shen was really old, she was really embarrassed to say that word, "Besides, even a servant who signed a death contract cannot If you kill someone casually, isn’t this a disregard for human life?”
The more Mrs. Shen talked, the more she regretted it, and she kept saying: "It's all my fault that I was obsessed with it. I only thought that although the Xu family's family background was a bit low, my daughter was well-educated, and she could take good care of the second child in a gentle and careful manner. It would also prevent me from wronging that girl Tianshu.
"When I was in the old house, everything seemed fine to me. Why has it become like this now! If such a shocking thing were to spread, wouldn't it affect the reputation of the second child!"
"The old lady has always planned for the second master. It's a pity that this man will change."
"This year is the critical time for the second child to make further progress. The back house is like this, full of loopholes. We don't even have to wait for others to find it. We just have to send it to them!"
Because of this matter, Old Mrs. Shen was delayed in the house for too long today. All the juniors who came to pay their respects had arrived, and Pearl had not heard Mrs. Shen calling someone.
Madam Dong stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Miss Pearl, is the old lady feeling well?"
"No, maybe it's because the second master sent a letter back, and the old lady was delayed reading the letter!"
Pearl said with some hesitation. After all, Mrs. Shen had never been in such a situation except for being sick.
After a while, Grandma Jiang came out of the room and said: "The old lady said that there is no need to say hello today, and everyone can go back separately. Madam, please stay, the old lady wants you to come in."
Aunt Jiang's red and swollen eyes and the unwiped tears on her face made everyone in the Shen family, who were already a little uneasy, even more frightened.
