Chapter 113 Conspiracy of children
Xiao Shuyong's words surprised Xiao Lingxiao a little. Since the last time Xiao Shumou took the woman in Lu's house, Xiao Lingxiao has never heard from him again. He didn't expect Xiao Shuyong to find him back. Originally, Xiao Lingxiao wanted to provoke Xiao Shuyong to report to the official and let Jing Zhaoyin deal with this matter, but now he thinks that Xiao Shumou may also be a good candidate.
With Xiao Shuyong here, no one in the yard dares to leave. They waited for an hour like this, and the sky became a little brighter, and Xiao Shumou hurried to come.
Xiao Ranjun also came back with Xiao Shumou. As soon as the two looked at the costume, they knew that they were coming in a hurry. As soon as Xiao Ranjun entered the yard, he rushed to Xiao Lingxiao's side and asked with concern, "Sister, are you all right?" Xiao Lingxiao shook his head and told Xiao Ranjun in a low voice.
Looking at the intimate appearance of their brother and sister, Xiao Shuyong couldn't help snorting, thinking that the son did not say hi to him as a father first when he entered the door. Instead, he cared more about his sister, Xiao Ranjun. He really didn't have the same heart with him!
When Xiao Shumou saw Xiao Shuyong looking at Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Ranjun with gloomy faces, he couldn't help sighing in his heart. He knows best the temperament of his eldest brother. Although he has the talent of the prime minister, he lacks the measure of being a person. If it were not so, at the time when the Lu family was destroyed, he would not have taken Xiao Ranjun to escape from his hometown. The reason why the two sons of their father's two concubines in the prime minister's house are now that the second and fourth masters in the prime minister's mansion are not officials in the imperial city. It's more or less because Xiao Shuyong can't tolerate the two of them, so he can't be a mediocre brother.
Now seeing Xiao Shuyong turn his goal to Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Ranjun, Xiao Shumou inevitably sighs and is heartbroken.
Xiao Shuyong briefly told Xiao Shumou what had happened, and he still pointed the finger at Xiao Lingxiao in his words. However, Xiao Shumou is a smart man. After hearing about the incident, he felt that something was strange. Xiao Shumou thought for a moment and called several close maids who served the eldest lady to ask a little. Those people said that Xiao Lingxiao was the only one in the house who had a grudge against the eldest lady.
"Third master, we shouldn't talk too much as servants, but the young lady really does something bad to his wife behind his back." Mother Liang said and sighed, "During this period, things in the house were busy, and even several aunts followed to help. The old lady was afraid that the eldest lady would feel cold to her, and she felt that the eldest lady could take care of so many outside business and was very capable, so she specially invited the old lady's words to ask the eldest lady to help. Originally, the young lady should have gone to the accounting room to follow the account, but after the young lady went, she was annoyed. She insisted that the old lady didn't let her study with other ladies before, so she couldn't read. After the young lady made a fuss like this, the old lady asked the young lady to take care of the warehouse. That day, when the door of the accounting room was opened, the lady pushed the eldest lady. It was not only us servants who followed the eldest lady, but also the gentlemen in the accounting room. If it hadn't been for the great lady's life, she might have been pushed down that day..."
Mother Liang talked a lot, and the maids around her also nodded.
Xiao Lingxiao stood in the distance. Although she could hear what they said, she didn't care at all. When the eldest lady fell down that day, Xiao Lingxiao knew that she intended to leave a message. It seemed that since then, she had begun to prepare for today's scene.
After hearing this, Xiao Shuyong stamped his feet angrily, "I, Xiao Shuyong, have really done evil!" How could such a beast be born!"
Xiao Shumou was really angry when he saw that his eldest brother was really angry. He hurriedly pulled him to sit down at the table, poured him a cup of tea, and told him to relax for the time being.
Xiao Shumou knew something about Xiao Lingxiao and knew that this girl was cruel, so it must not have been done by Xiao Lingxiao, and Xiao Shumou did not dare to assert this. But looking at Xiao Lingxiao's restless appearance, Xiao Shumou felt that there was something else hidden in this matter. The word "popularity" alone is very suspicious, and the small cloth bag containing medicine, and even the two old mothers who recognized those things at once, made people feel strange.
Xiao Shumou followed this inquiry before he knew that the things in the small cloth bag were not new at all in the inner house. The two mothers were from the old lady's side, and they were all very experienced. The two quietly told Xiao Shumou that the things in the small cloth bag were all formulated by a special person, and there was one in the imperial city. Dr. Hua is the best at this.
After knowing this, Xiao Shumou immediately sent someone to find Dr. Hua. When the family brought Dr. Hua to the yard, the middle-aged man with a big belly was scared to see that the yard was full of people.
Entering the side room, Dr. Hua knelt down and fell to the ground without waiting for anyone to ask him anything. He shouted, "It's the maid under the young lady, called... The maid named Bao Ronger, came to me and said that it was something that could be aborted unconsciously. The villain... The villain was obsessed with money for a while and collected 300 taels. Silver! My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"
As soon as Xiao Shuyong heard this, he slapped the table angrily, pointed to Xiao Lingxiao and Bao Ronger behind her and said angrily, "What else do you have to say this time!"
Bao Ronger stepped forward, gave Xiao Shuyong a white look, and said to Dr. Hua, who was kneeling on the ground, "D. Hua, raise your head and take a closer look. Is there any Bao Ronger you mentioned in this room?"
Dr. Hua looked up and glanced around the room. He confirmed it tremblingly and shook his head and said, "No...no..."
Bao Ronger raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Xiao Shuyong and snorted coldly, "How about it?"
Xiao Shuyong was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing. Didn't Bao Ronger stand in front of him? But he actually said no. Obviously, the person who bought something from him deliberately used Bao Ronger's name!
Xiao Shumou thought for a moment, asked someone to call in all the maids around the first lady, and then asked Dr. Hua, "Do you think there is any Bao Ronger you know among these people?"
Dr. Hua looked up, stretched out his finger to begonia, and shouted, "She! That's her!"
Begonia was shocked and hurriedly knelt down.
Xiao Shuyong took two steps closer in surprise, grabbed Begonia, and asked harshly, "Are you going to harm the first lady?"
With tears in Begonia's eyes, she shook her head vigorously, "It's wrong! It's wrong!"
Xiao Shuyong couldn't help saying that he slapped Begonia in the face. Seeing this, Xiao Shumou hurried forward to stop him.
Just then, a maid came in crying and shouted anxiously, "Madam, wake up! Master, go and have a look. The old lady is awake!"
As soon as Xiao Shuyong heard this, he hurriedly ran to the lady's inner room, and Xiao Huanxue also hurriedly followed.
Xiao Shumou looked at the begonia kneeling on the ground and crying, and Dr. Hua, who was trembling with fear, and snorted. He came to Xiao Lingxiao and saw that her face did not change. He asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?"
Xiao Lingxiao did not answer the question, "The third uncle thinks what's going on?"
Xiao Shu looked at Xiao Lingxiao's deep cold eyes and couldn't see what she was thinking at all.
"Did you do this?" Xiao Shumou asked in a low voice.
Xiao Lingxiao smiled indifferently, "I said no, third uncle, do you believe it?"
In fact, Xiao Shumou doesn't believe it very much, but this matter has developed so far. If all the blame can be blamed on a small maid, it will be the best result. After weighing it over and over again, Xiao Shumou really couldn't think of any other solution other than this. It's a pity that such a little maid...
"Hmm, I didn't expect the third uncle to be such a person." Xiao Lingxiao saw through Xiao Shumou's thoughts and sneered, "It's really a good deal to use a little maid to plead. Unfortunately, some people may not be able to understand the kindness of the third uncle. I'm afraid that you have been a villain in vain and won't get a good result."
As soon as Xiao Lingxiao finished his words, he heard someone come to send a message. Xiao Shuyong asked several people in the side room to go to the old lady's inner room.
Generally speaking, especially an identity like Xiao Shumou should never enter his sister-in-law's inner room. It's just that today is a special situation. Xiao Shuyong is also angry, so he ignores any etiquette and let these people in.
The eldest lady lay on her side on the bed and cried like a tearful person. Xiao Huanxue sat by the bed to serve, while Xiao Shuyong walked around with her shoulder angrily.
After Dr. Hua and Haitang came in, they all knelt at the door, and Xiao Shumou and Xiao Ranjun also stood aside and did not come forward. Only Xiao Lingxiao, who is a daughter, has no taboo. She came to the bed with a smile on her face and asked softly, "Is mother better?"
Xiao Huanxue stared at Xiao Lingxiao fiercely and scolded coldly, "Don't pretend here!" If it hadn't been for you, how could my mother..."
But before she finished her words, she was stopped by the eldest lady, "Huan Xue, don't talk to your eldest sister like this. Haven't you been sure who did this? I believe your elder sister won't be so vicious.
The eldest lady deliberately bit the word "vicious" heavily. After saying this, she covered her face with a handkerchief and cried bitterly.
Xiao Shuyong pointed to Xiao Lingxiao, "Get out of here!"
Xiao Lingxiao straightened up and straightened his waist, as if he was tired of watching the play. He said to the eldest lady in a cold voice, "Looking on my mother, it must be okay. My mother deliberately called us all here. Maybe she wanted to know who put such an abortion in your room?"
The first lady stopped her grief and nodded and said, "No matter what kindness and resentment there is, it has nothing to do with the child in my belly. I want to know who is so cruel that even such an unborn child will be murdered! When this person is found out, please ask the master and the third brother to make the decision for the un born descendants of the Xiao family and severely punish the murderer!"
Xiao Lingxiao sneered when he heard the words, "What the mother said is absolutely right. If someone wants to harm the child in his mother's womb, he is the son of our Xiao family. This person must be severely punished, no matter who she is." Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at Xiao Shuyong and asked with a smile, "Father, is it wrong for me to say so?"
Xiao Shuyong was stunned when he heard the words, and then said angrily, "That's right! Whoever it is, it must be severely punished!"
