Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Lord Shen sat in the hall, listening to the three people quarreling, and felt a headache. How could this murder case be so confusing when it came out of their mouths?

"Sir! This maid was originally driven out of the mansion because she was foul-mouthed and talked about her master. Now she is seeking revenge. You can't believe a word she says!" Mrs. Gu was filled with righteous indignation, pointing at Xiaosui and retorting as if she had suffered great humiliation.

"Sir, Mrs. Gu is as vicious as a snake. She did this all because of her youngest son! Everyone in the mansion knew that her son cried and made a fuss at home, and even went on a hunger strike because he couldn't get Sister Cai.

As a result, not long after she asked me to deliver the meal, Brother Xu died of illness, and Sister Cai actually became her daughter-in-law. This is clearly murder and wife-stealing!"

Xiaosui was also very angry. These things were clearly true. Why didn't the adults quickly torture Mrs. Gu?

If I can’t sentence her to death, I’m afraid I’ll be dead if she goes back today. What’s more, the child said that the nobleman will be very unhappy. . .

"Sir, it is true that my son married Cai, but that was because after Empress Xu died, Cai became a widow with a bad reputation, and no one wanted to get involved with her. We married her out of pity for her, and it was a blessing for her to marry my son."

Speaking of Cai, Mrs. Gu was not so flustered. Although Cai had been indifferent to her when she first married, she became much more docile after she was kicked out of the second door by the mistress and beaten. She was also respectful to her. She didn't know whether she had changed her mind or finally figured it out and was afraid.

"Sir Shen, although my sister-in-law is still unmarried and her husband is dead, she is definitely not a fickle person. I think someone is forcing her. Sir, you can summon her to confront her."

"Mr. Xu, please be careful. Cai is my daughter-in-law. When did she become your sister-in-law?" Gu looked at Mr. Xu unhappily, but the latter ignored her.

"Call Cai." Lord Shen gave the order, and the yamen runners went to do it immediately. However, Cai arrived almost immediately, unlike the time it took to find Mrs. Gu just now.

Lord Shen looked down and saw that it was a very young lady, but her face was haggard, as if she had been crying, and she had a white scarf tied on her arm like Xu Xiucai.

And looking at the way she walked, one of her legs was severely lame, and her whole body was crooked when she walked.

When Xu Xiucai saw Cai again, he was shocked to see her current state. He gritted his teeth and said: Sure enough, she was forced to do it! She was tortured into this state!

Cai knew what was going to happen today earlier than Mrs. Gu.

Last night I was bored and chatted with the maid in the mansion. Somehow we got to talking about a servant in the mansion who had an epidemic. He first had a high fever and then fell into a coma. Then he started coughing and had difficulty breathing, lost his sense of smell and taste, and finally died of general fatigue and high fever.

Cai suddenly remembered the appearance of her fiancé when he died. How could it be such a coincidence?

“So how was it handled later?” Cai’s heart was pounding, and she felt like she was almost at the edge!

"Then it must have been pulled out and burned! Sister Cai can ask your mother-in-law, she is the one who is responsible for this matter."

boom!

Something exploded in Cai's mind. It was indeed like this... It was indeed like this...

"Sister, Sister Cai!" The maid shook Cai vigorously, not knowing what she was thinking. "There is another thing. Don't you think it's strange? Xu Xiucai from the street behind our house has returned, and he has also raised a little beggar at home. Guess who that beggar is?"

Xu Xiucai? Little beggar? Cai shook his head mechanically.

"That's Xiaosui who was kicked out earlier for stealing the lady's things! How pitiful, she's wandering around outside the mansion. Why do you think Xu Xiucai wanted to bring her home? Did he want to raise her as a child bride?

. . . Sister, sister! Tomorrow is the day to distribute winter clothes. I heard that even the government will have a holiday tomorrow. Look at me. . . ”

Xu Xiucai was her fiancé’s younger brother, Xiaosui… the little girl who used to run out of the house to play. Cai remembered hearing someone say that she brought him food.

Tomorrow is my last day in government. . . I will raise a little beggar at home. . .

So that’s it!

Cai ignored the little girl's chattering and went back to the house. She didn't light the lamp, but silently cut off a piece of white cloth and tied it tightly around her arm. So it was tomorrow...

When Cai walked into the hall, it turned out that her lame leg was not as serious as she appeared.

It was just that, firstly, he was filled with emotions and his steps were somewhat unsteady; secondly, he had known that Mrs. Gu had been called away by the government officials, so something big must have happened today, and he was just pretending to do it for everyone to see!

My dear mother-in-law, today your daughter-in-law should take good care of you.

When Mrs. Gu saw the white scarf on Cai's arm, she immediately felt something was wrong and asked carefully, "Xiao Cai, what's wrong with you?"

Regardless of her question, Cai knelt on the ground with a thud. The force was so strong that even Lord Shen felt pain in his knees.

"Sir, please do something for my dead fiancé and for me, a humble girl!" Xu Xiucai knocked his head to the ground, his eyes moist, while Mrs. Gu was furious. Xiaosui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this should be done.

The situation in the lobby was completely changed because of Cai's arrival. Every word and every complaint made everyone sad.

Over here in the Xu Mansion, Gu's condition was not much better. She was walking around in circles in the room in a hurry.

On the side, Huixiang, the head maid who has been quite trusted by Gu recently, saw this and was happy in her heart: This old woman is finally in trouble. As long as she dies, I will be the most capable person around the lady!

"Madam, please take a seat first. Nothing will happen to you. Even if the Jingzhao Prefecture is very brave, they won't dare to do anything to you. Not to mention the false charge of 'allowing a servant to commit murder'."

"What do you know!" Gu said angrily, completely losing her usual calmness and airs. "I'm worried that something might happen to Madam Gu!"

Huixiang hated this old lady Gu in her heart, but she also knew that her friendship with the lady was much deeper than hers, so she couldn't say anything bad about her.

"Yes, Madam Gu will be fine. I heard that Sister Cai has gone to court to testify. She is filial to Madam Gu. As long as she goes, she will be fine."

Gu finally calmed down and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.

In fact, it was a bit unfair to let the servant commit the crime. It was only after Cai married into the family that she heard about the affair between Empress Xu and her husband.

But why would she care about such a small matter? Besides, Madam Gu was smart and didn't leave any obvious evidence. If that was the case, she would just pretend she didn't know.

Where did the little spike come from! Damn it! How could she be so soft-hearted when it was time to cut the weeds and uproot them? She was decisive when she advised me at the beginning. It was really because I was getting older that my heart softened!
