bastard returns

"Just put it here and go out, it's good that your second mother will serve you here." Ning Ruhai closed his eyes, and only waved his hand.

Ning Yuan bowed and left again, just as he stepped out of the door, Ning Mo also followed, and smiled at Ning Yuan: "I'm really worried about you for nothing, but after a few days in Beijing, you have made so many surprises. things."

"I did everything by myself. I just added a handful of firewood at most." Ning Yuan brushed off his sleeve robe, "Our eldest sister looks arrogant on the surface, but she is actually very timid. Harmful and guilty, a little ecstasy that can make people have nightmares, plus some eel blood that can attract night bats to knock on the door, can scare her like that. As for our mother, she has always been If you don't cultivate your body and mind, who can blame your own sperm?"

Ning Mo said: "Now the elder sister has been dismissed, and she has been locked up in the ancestral hall all day long. Although our mother has also been restrained, but after all, the father still keeps her place. She has already suspected you. One day, if father loses his mind and releases people to make trouble, then what should I do."

Ning Yuan patted Ning Mo's shoulder tacitly, "So, it depends on whether the second wife and elder brother can take good care of father, and whether they can make him have the energy to take care of mother."

"Don't worry, father, even if I don't tell you, my mother will take good care of me." Ning Mo nodded and said, "There is one more thing. During the time you have been in Beijing, our eldest brother has gone out for several times. Every now and then, I go to the pharmacy, and on weekdays, I mostly fiddle with things in my own room, and keep people away, should we..."

"Let him go. I think the eldest brother is also doing it for the good of his father. He wants to make something to show his filial piety to his father. As younger brothers, we just need to watch from the sidelines."

"Wow!" Yan Shi vigorously brushed off the dishes in front of her, and all kinds of small dishes fell to the ground. Mother Xu stood aside tremblingly, trying to persuade her, but she dared not speak.

"You bastard! A bunch of bastards! I'm the eldest lady in this mansion. What's the matter with all these food, you actually want to use this kind of mess to get rid of me, what a bunch of dog slaves!" Yan's eyes were bloodshot, Gritting her teeth and cursing, after scolding, she still seemed to be puzzled, and started to yell and beat the things in the room, tearing the curtains and window curtains, which made Xu's mother jump in fear.

Since being restrained, Yan Shi, who used to be moody and angry, seems to have completely changed. Not only is he very easy to get angry, but he also beat and scolded the servants at every turn, even if the former one was just sitting quietly. , The next moment will inexplicably stand up and get angry.Her face was no longer as graceful and luxurious as before, and her face was full of ferocity, and after the wound on her forehead scabbed by Shen's, it turned into a big scar lying there, making her even more hideous.

"Ma'am, please calm down, this dish is very clear..." Mother Xu wanted to say that although the dishes are not as good as before, at least they are complete. The lady did such a thing, which made the old lady angry. Ignore her, it's good to have something like this to eat, but before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Yan slapped her on the face, "You dog slave, don't even look at who brought you to this point Yes, you actually help outsiders to humiliate me now! Go, go tell those who kill thousands of knives in the kitchen, make me something seriously, or I will chop off their paws!"

Xu's mother was so frightened that she immediately left the room obediently, shook her head and walked towards the kitchen with a sigh.

But as soon as she left the courtyard, she was blocked by two maids. Mother Xu had been with the eldest lady for a long time, and she had always been quite bullying. Seeing that someone dared to stop her, she raised her eyebrows, "Damn girl, how dare you stop mom My way!"

Unexpectedly, those two maids didn't even raise their eyes, they just said "Mother Xu, the second lady wants to see you." They stepped forward to support her, and took her away in another direction.

104 Conspiracy Revealed

Mother Xu's heart was trembling for a while, the second lady never cared about the affairs of this mansion, why did she suddenly want to see herself?

But before she could figure it out, the two servant girls had dragged her into a secluded courtyard. Although the garden was small, it was well organized. Mrs. Zhao was sitting at the stone table in the middle of the courtyard. She trimmed a potted plant next to her, and she was not accompanied by any maidservants.

The two maids made Xu's mother kneel there and then retreated. Xu's mother didn't dare to look up at Zhao's face. She looked a little weak, thinking in her heart that she had always helped the eldest lady hold some maids hostage, and when she herself would be reduced We've reached this stage.

Mrs. Zhao finished building the whole potted plant before she started talking, and Mrs. Xu's knees were already cold and sore, and she suddenly heard Mrs. Zhao say, "I heard that Da Furen has not been able to eat recently?"

"Returning to the second lady, the eldest lady is just in a bad mood for a while, which affects her appetite. I think she will recover in a few days." Mama Xu spoke carefully, and quietly looked at Zhao's face. Being restrained by the old lady, Mrs. Zhao took care of all the big and small matters in the mansion, and Mother Xu was also afraid that she might offend her if she said something wrong.

Mrs. Zhao laughed, and put down the scissors in her hand, "Forget it, I shouldn't be polite to Mrs. Xu. You have been with Da Furen for a long time, and I am afraid that your temper has also imitated her devious ways, too polite. Too many, but I can't ask what I want to ask."

Mama Xu's heart skipped a beat. "Second Madam... what do you want to ask?"

"My question is very simple. It depends on whether you are willing to tell me simply." Zhao's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly stared into Xu's mother's eyes and said, "Master Ningdian, how did you die?"

Mrs. Yan waited in the room until almost evening before Mama Xu came back. Seeing that she was empty-handed, she became angry, "Why, those dog servants in the kitchen still don't want to present good things!"

"Ma'am, it's not that you don't know that those slaves are used to meeting the wind and steering the wheel. Now you have been grounded. They will inevitably flatter the high and step down when they do things. You have to calm down." Xu Mama poured out on Mrs. Yan With a cup of tea, he persuaded earnestly.

Yan Shi lost her temper for a day, and she was tired after thinking about it. Finally, she didn't continue to quarrel. She took the tea from Mother Xu, and only snorted coldly: "Praise the high and step down? I see that they are losing power now. They Let's do it blindly, but I'm not a stupid woman like Liu Huiyi, when the master thinks about me, it's time for me to make a comeback, and then I will deal with these ungrateful slaves one by one. "

"That's natural, that's natural." Xu's mother laughed along, "Madam, you saved the master's life, and the master did not do anything else. Just because of the life-saving kindness, I will never be too harsh on you, madam."

Mrs. Yan drank a cup of tea and sent Mama Xu out to prepare dinner. Mama Xu walked out of the room with a bow and her face turned pale. up.

This winter came very early this year, before the end of the year, the first snow had already fallen in Jiangzhou.The news of Ning Ruhai's long-term illness and bedridden gradually spread to all the high-ranking households in Jiangzhou. Even though the roads were slippery in snowy weather, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit. It seemed that Ning's mansion was very lively.

It’s just that those who come to the door with gifts may be fake, but the truth is true. After all, the Jiangzhou garrison position, even if the official position is not high, is a real position with military power in hand. There are many people who are jealous. If Ning Ruhai didn't carry it over and died, then they should make preparations early to see if they can go upstream.

How could Ning Ruhai not know what those people were thinking, but he himself was also surprised, after all, what he contracted was just some wind and cold, but it was good and bad, procrastination never got better, the doctor had invited countless people, Warming and tonic medicinal materials are also taken every day, and the small effects can improve a little, but the big effects just don't exist.

In the early morning of this day, another person came here with a call letter. This time, the Jiangzhou Jiedu envoy Pang Da was the one who came to visit. Ning Zhan and Ning Yuan received them in the main hall, received the gift list, and said "Father" in a clichéd way I'm not feeling well, it's inconvenient to see guests" and blocked the person back, Ning Zhan wiped the sweat from his forehead with a brocade handkerchief, sat down and panted, "I'm very weak, and it takes a lot of effort to be polite to these people , I really don’t know why grandma asked me to come out to entertain guests.”

"Brother, you are joking. You are the son of our family. The person who will inherit the earl of Wu'an in the future, father can't entertain guests, and it is only appropriate for you to come forward." Ning Yuan sat down, and his stature has grown taller in the past few months. Some, the robes they are wearing now are newly made, although the appearance is always plain, the material is excellent, the neckline and sleeves are rolled in a circle of white hair, the hair is also carefully combed, and the appearance looks very noble.

"I don't know how my father is now. I wanted to visit him several times, but my second mother stopped me." Ning Zhan shook his head, showing a very regretful look.

"Brother's health is not very good, approaching father rashly, it's a big deal if you get sick, let alone Erniang, even if it's grandmother, you won't allow you to visit father rashly." Ning Yuan lowered his eyes. Said: "However, I went to visit a few times, and my father's health is indeed better, and he can get out of bed and walk around at will, but he can't blow the wind, so he can only stay in the room, and the whole person looks weak and has no strength."

"That's all, I can't see my father, and I don't have any point staying here, so I'll go back to my room to rest, and if anyone comes to entertain me." Ning Zhan waved his sleeves and brought a servant Then he went out of the main hall and went out to his own living room.

Not long after Ning Zhan left, Ning Mo came, and he was not polite. He entered the main hall, asked the maid close to him to close the door, and stood guard at the door, then sat down and said, "You know what our elder brother is going to do, but you don't want to What's the point of letting him get close to his father?"

Ning Yuan smiled, "You should know the truth of playing hard to get. If a person is suppressed for a long time, when he has a chance to explode, he will make more trouble. Besides, the eldest lady is fine now. If the elder brother's If Da Furen finds out about her thoughts, what should I do?"

"Forget it, anyway, for me and my mother, after so many years of waiting, it's not too late." A cold look flashed across Ning Mo's eyes, and he said: "It will be the first day of the twelfth lunar month soon. Grandmother wants to hold a family banquet to worship ancestors, but our crazy elder sister is currently being locked up in the ancestral hall, and grandma said that in order to avoid disturbance, when worshiping ancestors, she must be moved out first."

The water splashed by the married daughter made Ning Rui'er not only go crazy, but she was also divorced without face. If she wasn't afraid of letting her go out and lose face, Shen would never have allowed her to stay in the mansion.

"It's our eldest sister after all, blood is thicker than water, why is grandma doing this?" Ning Yuan flicked his sleeves, "Understood, I will go and persuade her."

Soon it was the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and the snow that had been falling continuously and sparsely had stopped. On this day, even Ning Ruhai, who was sick, went out of the house, and gathered together with other people in the Shou'an Hall Here, Shen Shi may feel that the Ning Mansion is unlucky these days, so they should have a good time, and invited a troupe to set up the stage. The lively sound spread throughout most of the Ning Mansion, and naturally spread to Yan's in the ears.

Mrs. Yan was wearing the most dignified clothes she found out, and the makeup on her face was rigorous. At this moment, Mother Xu pushed the door in and whispered: "Ma'am, the servants and servants who are guarding outside are all ready. Alright, let's go now."

Yan Shi nodded, supported by Mother Xu, she went out of the house for the first time after holding back for so many days. Go in the direction you came.

As early as a few days ago, Mrs. Xu had told him that Mrs. Shen would hold a feast to worship the ancestors on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. Usually, on such occasions, the head mother had to be present, so Mrs. Yan had been waiting with all her heart, waiting for Ning Ruhai took this opportunity to release her confinement, but she waited so long until midnight last night, there was still no news that she was going to be released.

This time, Yan couldn't sit still. She had a bad premonition in her heart. She felt that she should stay in this Ruining courtyard until she died of old age. With the hidden money, let Madam Xu go out and buy off the servants who guarded her. Even if others don’t invite her to family banquets to worship ancestors, as the mistress, as long as she appears, Chen’s presumably will be angry and not Let her go in public.

Mother Xu helped Yan Shi all the way to the outside of Shou'an Hall. Mother Luo, who was waiting outside, saw that Yan Shi had actually come, her face froze, and she was about to go in to report, but she was immediately called by Yan Shi.

"Don't bother mom, I'll go in by myself." Yan smiled amiably, but she had lost a lot of weight during these days of confinement, and her originally rich smile was more or less in the eyes of Luo's mother. Feeling hideous, Mother Luo wanted to speak, but Yan Shi had already passed her and walked directly into the yard.

Originally, a large family was gathered around the round table, eating and watching a play at the same time, Yan's sudden arrival seemed to throw a stone into the peaceful scene, and on the stage not far away, the actors were still singing, shaking their heads and babbling. The babbling kept going, but at the table, no one spoke, and even stopped moving their chopsticks. The scene was a bit ridiculous.

Ning Yuan and the other juniors got up without moving their expressions, and called out to their mother, but Shen's expression was as cold as ice, "What are you doing here?"

"What did the old lady say? Since I am going to worship the ancestors today, how can I, the eldest lady, not be here?" Yan said with a smile, without waiting for Shen's reaction, she walked directly to Ning Ruhai, and at the same time looked at Ning Ruhai who was next to Ning Ruhai. Mrs. Zhao, who was sitting like Hai, glanced at her. Mrs. Zhao didn't say a word, she gave up her seat knowingly, and went to the next seat.

"I know that I made a mistake, and I have no face to see the master again, but I heard that the master has been ill for a long time, but now he is better." Yan bowed his knees to Ning Ruhai, his eyebrows and eyes were full of concern.

Ning Ruhai's body is not yet fully recovered, and he looks a little vain, looking at Yan's face, he is angry with Yan in his heart, this woman actually did such a scandal, it would be impossible for anyone else It's so easy to take him there, but when he was wounded on the battlefield and passed out, it was Yan who carried him out of the pile of dead people in the body of a woman, otherwise he would have died long ago, and it was precisely because of such a life-saving grace Now, even though Yan's family was only from a family in the Jianghu family, Ning Ruhai still married her as his wife, and promised that if he was with him for a day, no one would be able to take her position as wife.

The words came out of his mouth. Even if Yan Shi made him feel ashamed, you can count the bits and pieces of Yan Shi's gentleness over the years, and never interfered with him getting close to other women. At the same time, even if Ning Ruhai was angry in his heart and wanted to blame, he still couldn't bear it to some extent. Seeing that Yan Shi came here on his own initiative, and his face was full of flattery, even though his face was gloomy, he still took the initiative to speak to Shen Shi: "Old lady, look..."

"Your own wife, you can handle it yourself. I'm old and I can't control this family anymore!" Of course, Shen knew what Ning Ruhai meant. With a cold snort, he really didn't drive Yan away directly.

Seeing Shen's attitude, Yan immediately sat down with a smile on her face, and even put a white jade ball into Ning Ruhai's bowl with her own hands, "This white jade ball is the master's favorite, so eat more."

Seeing that Ning Ruhai nodded and ate the ball, the smile on Yan's face became even stronger, his eyes flicked around the faces of all the people sitting there, and finally stopped on Ning Yuan's face, and said with a smile: "Some days I don't See, Yuan'er seems to have grown taller."

"Thank you for your concern, mother." Ning Yuan stood up immediately, "I haven't congratulated mother and father for reconciling the old relationship."

"Silly boy, your father and I have never had any estrangement. It's better to rebuild the old one." Yan's face was also thick-skinned, and he said this sentence without changing his face and heartbeat. After finishing speaking, he stared at Ning Yuan and said: "However, no matter how good a husband and wife relationship is in the world, it can't stand being tossed around by a villain. What is the reason why my mother suffered this time, and I really should reflect on it."

Yan Shi's words were extremely explicit, and there was a sense of threat, and her smile was extremely bitter, but Ning Yuan didn't seem to notice it at all, and gave Yan Shi another salute with a calm mind before sitting down.

Mother Xu, who was standing behind Yan, saw that she didn't need to take care of her here, so she took two steps back, but at this moment, she suddenly found that Zhao Shi was staring at her. , as if she was just looking at Mama Xu's clothes, but Mama Xu was frightened by her. Finally, as if she had figured something out, she gritted her teeth, quietly left the room, and went straight to the ancestral hall.

After the meal, Mrs. Shen rewarded the singers who sang operas, and led a group of people to the Ning Family Ancestral Hall on a thin layer of snow. Because of Ning Yuan's intercession, Ning Rui'er was not removed in the end. At that time, she could only be detained in the side hall, so as not to disturb others.

The main hall of the ancestral hall has already set up tables and offerings, and some servants have already prepared incense candles. Ning Ruhai, as the head of the family, was the first to go forward, clean his hands, burn incense, and respectfully respect the ranking of the ancestors at the top. He kowtowed three times.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao leaned over to Mrs. Yan and said, "My sister is here, why don't you go to see your daughter?"

Yan's eyes slanted, "Sister Lao, worry about it, my daughter has already become like this, it doesn't matter whether you look at it or not, but I am not as lucky as you, and have a daughter as smart as Mo'er."

Mrs. Zhao smiled slightly, took a step back and stopped talking.

After Ning Ruhai finished the incense, it was Shen's and Yan's turn. The two lit the incense candles one by one. Just about to kneel down, they suddenly heard a loud noise from outside, accompanied by a woman's scream. The scream was familiar, and Shen As soon as Shi heard it, she knew that it was Ning Rui'er, and she couldn't help but said coldly: "Isn't she being looked after by others, why are you making a fuss again!"

As soon as Shen's voice fell, Ning Rui'er had already rushed into the door. She glanced at the crowd around her with disheveled hair, her eyes locked on Shen's body, she rushed over without thinking, hugged Shen and cried: "Help me! Grandma, save me! I didn't kill the elder brother! I just took the place of the dead ghost, the dead ghost, grandma, you must save me!"

Shen Shi looked straight at Ning Ruier's dirty face, and wanted to push her away in a panic, but it was Ning Ruier who seemed to see Yan Shi next to her again, so she let go of Shen Shi, and then He rushed towards Yan Shi and screamed: "Mother, you can't treat me like this, you can't let me die for you! I obviously pushed the eldest brother into the water after listening to your order. If you rely on me, you still want to kill me!"

Yan's face turned pale, and without even thinking about it, she slapped Ning Rui'er on the face, "Crazy girl, what are you talking about, come here, why don't you take this crazy girl down and lock her up?" !"

"No! I'm not going anywhere. If you want to kill me, I'm not going anywhere!" Ning Rui'er trembled all over, and finally found that Ning Ruhai was also there, and crawled over to hug Ning Ruhai's leg , "Father, you have to believe me, I really didn't want to kill the elder brother! It was my mother who said that only when the elder brother died, brother Zhan could legitimately inherit the title in the future. I will do the things. No one will believe that a little girl can do it." Killing! Father, my mother ordered me to do everything. She asked me to pretend that I had dropped a necklace by the pond, and asked Brother Dian to help me find it. When things get out, I'm going to kill me, father save me, father save me!"

"Master, don't listen to the crazy girl talking nonsense, she is already crazy, and I don't know what kind of nightmare happened to say these stupid things." Yan's voice was trembling with anxiety, and she kept shouting outside, " Are you all stupid, why don't you take this crazy girl away and leave her here to disturb the master and the old lady to worship the ancestors!"

"Wait!" Shen Shi has recovered now, Ning Rui'er has spoken so clearly, it is impossible for her not to understand, stood up hastily, walked in front of Ning Rui'er and said: "What did you say, You pushed your elder brother into the water, could it be that the elder brother you are talking about is... Dian'er?"

"That's right, that's right, it's Brother Dian!" Ning Rui'er nodded her head like a dustpan, "It was my mother, it was my mother who asked me to kill Brother Dian! I didn't want to, but it was my mother who forced me!"

Shen's eyes darkened, and she almost fainted. Ning Dian was her first grandson. She was very clever since she was a child, and she liked her very much. Someone deliberately murdered, but Ning Rui'er was only four years old with Ning Dian at the time. Ning Rui'er was also shocked and insisted that her brother fell into the water by mistake. A group of adults, they can't doubt such a girl, right? We can only conclude the conclusion based on an accident, but now that such a shocking fact is revealed by Ning Rui'er, how can Shen's not be shocked!

"Old madam, this girl is crazy, you can't believe these nonsense!" Yan forced herself to calm down, anyway, there was no evidence for these years-old things, although she didn't know what stimulated Ning Rui'er suddenly If you want to talk about this, even if Ning Ruier shakes it out, so what, as long as she bites to death and denies it, everyone knows that you can't believe the words of a lunatic!

Shen shi restrained the blood churning continuously in her chest, and stared at Ning Ruhai. Ning Ruhai was also stunned. Obviously, this fact also shocked her.

Seeing Ning Ruhai staring at her with staring eyes, Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately changed her expression and said, "Master, do you doubt me too!? You know how I treated Dian'er back then, Whenever there is any good thing in this mansion, I am not the first to remember Dian'er, how could I instruct a four-year-old girl, or my own daughter, to push him into the water!"

yes.Ning Ruhai also realized that no matter how vicious Yan Shi is, how could he do such a thing, not to mention that Ning Rui'er is already crazy now, and there is no real evidence for this kind of past events. is untenable.

But when he was about to speak, there was another crying voice from outside the door, "Madam, I beg you to turn around, stop being obsessed with obsession, if you keep doing this, you will only harm yourself in the end." And Master Zhan!"

Hearing this sound, Yan Shi froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. She twisted her stiff neck, and seeing Mother Xu rushing in with tears all over her face, she knelt on the ground and said, "Master, old madam, what the eldest lady said is all right." It's true, these things have been suppressed in the old slave's heart for so many years, and I really can't suppress them any longer!"

"Damn it, how dare you betray me!" Yan Shi was in a hurry, but as soon as she said the words, she secretly said "Oops". Doesn't she admit that what Xu's mother said is true in disguise? ?

"Second Madam, what's wrong with you, Second Madam!" Suddenly there was another commotion from the crowd. It turned out that Zhao Shi had fainted. It seemed that this fact hit her too hard to bear it for a while.

105 Good and Evil Are Rewarded

"Old lady, although this servant has served the eldest lady for many years, but this servant is also a human being with a conscience. Such things are pressing in my heart, and this servant is also uncomfortable!" Mother Xu knelt on the ground with a plop, "The servant also once persuaded the eldest lady, The young master is the eldest grandson of the old lady, the eldest son of the old master, how can... but the servants are all servants, and the whole family is in the hands of the old lady, so they can only obey orders!"

Xu's mother cried bitterly, as if she really felt how uneasy she was following Yan Shi's help for a tiger, Yan Shi was trembling with anger, it was wrong to speak, and it was wrong not to speak, she cast a look at Ning Ruhai for help, but Ning Ruhai What Ruhai responded to her was an incomparably cold look in her eyes. In an instant, Yan Shi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"I have my own daughter and personal servant to correct me, Yan Zhengfang, what else do you have to say!" Shen Shi pointed to Yan Shi, and began to call out her first name, "A woman is so heartless, it is simply unbearable!"

Mother Xu continued: "Old Madam, what Madam has done in these years is far more than these, besides Young Master Dian, the cause of death of Third Madam and Young Master Xiang..."

"What? There are still more!?" Shen Shi was terrified when she heard it, and almost couldn't stand up, she turned her head and said to Ning Ruhai: "This is your good wife, how do you treat her!"

"Come here." Ning Ruhai said in a deep voice: "Take the eldest lady back to Ruining Courtyard and keep it under strict supervision. She is not allowed to step out of the room."

"Master!" Yan Shi only had time to yell in panic before being escorted away by the housekeeper.

"Bring Mother Xu and Ning Rui'er to the main hall, I want to personally ask what good things the eldest lady has done all these years!" Ning Ruhai drank one last sentence and strode out of the ancestral hall.

The servants all felt to varying degrees that something major had happened in the mansion.It was already the third watch, and the whole Ning Mansion was still brightly lit, and no one from the master's house went back to the house to rest, and these servants had to put up 12 points of energy to wait for orders at any time.

As for what happened, they are not totally ignorant. The servants at the ancestral hall said that something seems to have happened to the lady. The master and the old lady got angry and interrogated the servants around the lady overnight. They didn't talk about it for a long time. Talking about the master is a crime. If the steward overhears it, they will have to be punished.

In the main hall, Ning Ruhai's cough could be heard from time to time. Mrs. Shen had already drank her third cup of ginseng tea, and other people sat around with lowered eyebrows. The main hall was obviously crowded with people, because no one Dare to make a sound, but it was eerily quiet.

The second wife, Zhao Shi, had already woken up from the dizziness, but her complexion was very miserable and haggard, she looked very pitiful, Ning Mo stood behind her and kept patting her back, her face was also full of righteous indignation.

Everyone didn't know how long they had waited, but finally, the butler came in with several signed and pledged documents, walked up to Ning Ruhai and bowed, "Master, including Madam Xu, the eldest lady will come in next to you." Everyone has already interrogated them, and these are their confessions, apart from the murder of Young Master Dian, two aunts had a miscarriage many years ago, and one aunt fell into a well, all related to Da Furen."

Following the butler's words, Ning Ruhai's face became more and more ugly, but she didn't say a word. Shen's eyes closed for a while before they opened, and said in a deep voice, "Only these?"

"Actually...not more than that." The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was in charge of the butler's errand, but he didn't know about so many things in this confession. It's hard to guarantee that Ning Ruhai wouldn't blame him, but even so , He didn't dare to hide anything, so he continued: "And... to frame Aunt Tang's affair with others, hire murderers to make the carriage of the third lady and Master Xiang fall off the cliff, and then forge a suicide note to frame Master Yuan, and, and ..." At this point, the housekeeper got stuck and couldn't continue.

"And what! I have committed so many evils, is there anything more intolerable!" Shen shouted.

"Also, lied about the receipts of various properties in the government, and privately allocated money to support her natal family..."

"Wow!" Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Shen Shi had already grabbed the teacup and smashed it at his feet, the housekeeper was startled, and understood why Shen Shi was so angry.It is said that family thieves are hard to guard against, and other things, to put it bluntly, are just the result of jealousy between the Yan family and Ning Ruhai's other wives and concubines, but the money stolen from the mansion by the guards is given to others, and it is the foundation of the entire Ning mansion that is shaken, no wonder Shen would be so furious.

"Absurd! It's really absurd! If such a person stays at home, you don't know what will happen in the future!" Shen's lips trembled in anger, and she said to Ning Ruhai: "This is your good wife. I don't care how much love you have for her, as long as you still recognize me as a mother, this woman must not stay, and she will be divorced immediately and sent to the government office, I just pretend that I have never had such a daughter-in-law!"

Ning Ruhai's face was gloomy, and he didn't speak immediately, but at this time, Mrs. Zhao stood up, and blessed Shen with tears in her eyes, "Madam, please calm down, can you listen to my daughter-in-law?"

Seeing Zhao's miserable appearance, Mrs. Shen couldn't bear it, and said with relief: "I know that the second daughter-in-law, you lost your beloved son, but I also lost my eldest grandson. I am as sad as you. Don't worry, as long as I am here today , no one dares to shield that poisonous woman Yan Zhengfang."

Mrs. Zhao shook her head, "Old lady, I didn't say this to make you severely punish the eldest lady. It is true that the eldest lady is wrong, and it is true that the daughter-in-law hates her, but after all, she is also our master's regular wife." If Zhan'er's biological mother, the legitimate son, disposes of her rashly, where will Zhan'er's face be put? Zhan'er has always been the master's legitimate son, if she suddenly loses her identity due to the fault of her biological mother, what will others think? Him? In a big family, the wife and son have disappeared one after another, how will outsiders talk about my Ning Mansion?"

Mrs. Zhao spoke slowly, but her words made sense, and the expression on her face also revealed that she was holding back her grief to say these words. Mrs. Shen was generally shocked by Mrs. Zhao's consciousness, but obviously she I also feel that Mrs. Zhao is worrying too much, "Although you are right, you have to be punished if you make mistakes. A family cannot live without a wife and son, but no one can't change a wife and son. It's the ordinary wife in this family, who behaves dignifiedly and comes from a high family background. If you are the main wife, no one will gossip. As for the legitimate son, I think Yuan'er is very good. Anyway, you only have Mo'er as a daughter, so you will raise Yuan'er. To his knees, let him bear the name of the son-in-law, and he can't say anything even if he judges others."

Mrs. Shen seemed to have settled the matter like this, but obviously Mrs. Zhao couldn't agree with such an approach, she shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "Old lady, you are putting Yuan'er and me together. Pushing it over a cliff."

Shen was taken aback, "What do you mean by that?"

"The eldest madam made a mistake, and it is natural and right to be punished, but if the wife and son suddenly change, what kind of rumors will the outsiders have? Will it be because Yuan'er and I covet the wife and son?" The seat, and the design frame to pull the eldest lady down?"

Shen Shi wondered: "There is no basis, so they can talk about it casually?"

"The rumors in this world don't need to rely on any evidence. The daughter-in-law has no intention of coveting the name of the first wife, so why put herself at the forefront of the storm, and the daughter-in-law believes that Yuan'er thinks the same as the daughter-in-law." Zhao said After finishing, he glanced sideways at Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan also got up, saluted Shen and said: "Grandmother, Erniang is right, grandson has never planned to covet the name of the first son, not to mention that there is nothing wrong with the eldest brother, if it is because of the mother's affairs. , It is also unfair to elder brother, if elder brother develops resentment towards grandmother, father, and even Erniang and me because of this, the family will not be peaceful in the future, grandma please think twice."

The push and push between the two of them made Shen's confused. Except for the dead, the two of them were the ones who were most harmed by Yan's right now, but they actually let themselves forgive Yan's, which really made Shen Shi do not understand.

Shen's eyes flicked across Zhao's and Ning Yuan's faces, and after a while, he brushed his sleeves and said: "Forget it, after all, I am not in charge of this family, you can ask the master to make up your own mind." After finishing speaking, she turned her head It seems that I really don't want to take care of it anymore.

Ning Ruhai looked at Zhao Shi with deep eyes, "Then, according to you, how should you deal with Da Furen."

Zhao's face said calmly: "I would like to ask the master to keep the eldest wife's status as the first wife, which is considered to save the young master's face, but the eldest lady has made so many mistakes, so I have to reflect on it, so I ask the eldest lady to copy three articles every day. Sending Buddhist scriptures to the ancestral hall to pray for blessings and eliminate one's evil obstacles is also to comfort Dian'er's spirit in heaven."

Ning Ruhai frowned, "That's it?"

"The eldest lady is still the main wife of the master, but with the current
