Chapter 255 Suffering
Master Cheng flashed to the side, and Huixiang immediately rushed into vain.
Huixiang did not give up and reached out to grab Master Cheng's robe: "Master, I am the wife's most trusted person, or the Yuan family's family has a son, how can I harm my wife? On weekdays, I see my loyalty to my wife, so you can talk to me."
Huixiang seemed to think of something when she spoke, and turned to look at Yuan'er: "This servant was just bought by the wife, and she didn't even have the qualifications to serve in front of the wife. At this time, she said nothing and didn't know what she had to rest.
According to the servant, I may have been ordered by someone.”
As soon as Huixiang finished speaking, Yuan'er said, "Sister Huixiang tells me, where is Sister Huixiang when her wife hangs herself?"
Huixiang said, "Mrs. I sent me to the box and find materials. I want to make clothes for the second and third masters. My wife asked for the royal blue brocade. I couldn't find it for a while, and it took a delay. Now I think it was the wife who deliberately sent me away."
"Where is Sister Huixiang looking for materials? Did someone see it?"
"No."
"Don't my sister go to the warehouse to find something, don't she need a servant to help light it up with the light?"
Before Huixiang could speak, she saw a board being carried by the people from the government office. She had large square paper on it and painted the Cheng family's house on it. Huixiang was a child and also knew some words. She read it randomly and recognized that the name of the slave was written on it.
"This records the place where the servants in the yard were going when Mrs. Yuan hanged herself," Xue Lao Tongzong looked at Huixiang, "When will you go to Mrs. Yuan's private warehouse?"
Huixiang looked at the picture, right next to her wife's private warehouse, with Liu'er's name written on it. Liu'er was there when her wife hanged herself. She obviously sent Liu'er to sort out her washed clothes. How could that little hoof be in the private warehouse? Liu'er likes to drink, did she secretly go to have alcohol with the mother in the backyard? It happened to be passing by the private warehouse at that time... Why did she forget this?
The yamen had long suspected her and deliberately did not ask her, just to remember everyone's confession clearly, so that she could not make any judgment.
Huixiang did not answer the words of the Yamen, bit her lip, and she turned to look at Yuan'er: "I know why you framed me. You are afraid that the Yamen will find you, so I will take the blame. Aunt Gui takes the skill of rubbing his wife's legs in the past two days and comes to talk to her every day. The lady must have listened to Aunt Gui's instigation. When the lady first married into the Cheng family, Aunt Gui became pregnant, but was punished to kneel down for her miscarriage. This is well-known. Aunt Gui is revenge for her children."
Huixiang continued: "The person standing outside the window watching his wife hang herself is Yuan'er, not a slave. I didn't go to the private treasury, and I went to the corridor of the back garden to get lazy."
After Huixiang said that, her eyes looked at Master Cheng with a burning look: "Master, you must believe me, every word I say is true."
Master Cheng frowned.
Lao Tongzong Xue said: "Since that's the case, I'll ask Aunt Gui to ask."
Master Cheng subconsciously looked at Wei Yuanchen sitting on the chair. Wei Yuanchen sat on the chair without saying a word. He looked at everything in the room with deep eyes. Although he was young, he was powerful. Even the lamps beside him seemed to have become much dimmer because of him, and he dared not compete with him for glory.
Master Cheng said in a hoarse voice: "Let the manager call Aunt Gui here."
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a panic voice: "Help...Help...Sir...Help..."
A figure stumbled in from outside, and it was Aunt Gui.
Master Cheng frowned and looked at Aunt Gui: "What are you doing? How can you be so chaotic?"
Aunt Gui found that Master Cheng was also in the room, and couldn't help but shivered for a while and didn't say anything.
Yuan'er, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Aunt Gui and said anxiously: "Auntie... Huixiang wronged us and hurt our wife..."
Hearing Yuan'er's words, Aunt Gui finally understood what was going on. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Master Cheng: "Master is you, you are the one who harms me. Did you poison someone in the tea?"
Master Cheng frowned: "What nonsense?"
Aunt Gui dodged Master Cheng: "I did nothing wrong, why should I harm me? After I die, isn't the master planning to let the Fourth Master go? Yes, I'm going to be accused of killing my mistress, and the concubine's son will naturally be excluded from the clan. The master will be afraid that the Fourth Master will reveal the incident that year and attack the Fourth Master... Even if he doesn't kill him and expel him from the Cheng family, he will have no way to live. The eldest son of the eldest son doesn't care, and the master will not take a little concubine's son to heart."
Just after Yuan'er went out, she fell asleep leaning on the couch. When she woke up in a daze, she wanted to take the tea in front of the bed, but someone rushed in to stop her.
The woman said she was the one who followed Lord Wei to handle the case and saw someone poisoning her with her own eyes. Then they caught Manager Cao.
Listening to Aunt Gui's words, Master Cheng turned to look into the yard. Sure enough, seeing Manager Cao being tied up and thrown in the center of the yard, Master Cheng's face suddenly changed.
Wei Yuanchen also saw Gu Mingzhu and Chujiu who were following Manager Cao. They found that the clues of the case were almost done, otherwise she would not be willing to come back.
"You are so cruel," said Aunt Gui's tears. "I followed you early in the morning and served you with all my might, but you wanted to kill me. The lady has repeatedly asked me about my past events these days. She stood up and knew that the lady wanted to use this as a handle to threaten the master. I gritted my teeth and didn't say it. Unexpectedly, the master was still suspicious, afraid that I would know the inside story, so she wanted to use this to kill me, and to put the charge of harming the lady on me."
Aunt Gui looked at Yuan'er: "I guess if Yuan'er can't escape, she will sacrifice her life and say she is bribed by me. Because I want to pay her off, she will bite her back. I'm taking poison because I just see that the matter is exposed and commits suicide. Master, is it right?"
Master Cheng's eyes flashed and his expression was no longer calm.
Aunt Gui looked at Cheng Yi at the door: "Mr. Prince Consort, I tell you everything I know. I just hope that Prince Consort can take care of the Fourth Master. I understand. Mrs. Zhao and Prince Consort are kind-hearted. Even the concubine of the Cheng family will give him a way out, but here he can only wait for death."
Master Cheng scolded: "What did you conspire with Cheng Yi in Jiang? Do you know what the hell is false accusation?"
"Mrs. Jiang?" Aunt Gui suddenly smiled, "There are too many concubines in your mansion. You have forgotten what your surname is? I don't have Jiang. I thought there was something in your mind before, but now it seems that I am delusional."
After saying that, Aunt Gui knelt down and looked at Cheng Yi with her eyes fixedly, her eyes full of expectation.
"As long as you tell the truth," Cheng Yi said, "the fourth brother is my own brother, I will naturally do what my brother should do."
Aunt Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. She kowtowed three times to the ground, looking at Cheng Yi apologized: "Mr. Prince Concubine, I know about Mrs. Zhao's murder. These days, Mrs. Yuan called me to rub my legs and forced me to tell me the inside story, because there were not many elderly people left in the mansion twelve years ago, and I was one of them."
Cheng Yi felt a stir in his heart, and he really had to use this to find out his mother's case.
"You bitch." Master Cheng rushed to his head angrily, wishing to kick the woman kneeling on the ground to death. As soon as he took a step forward, he was immediately stopped by two figures. It was Cheng Yi and Master Cheng San.
"Okay... you guys, my good sons," Master Cheng pointed at Cheng Yi, "When your younger brothers are still young, you will use words to deceive them against me, you..."
"Why are you anxious, Master Cheng?" Wei Yuanchen's deep voice finally rang out. "If Master Cheng has any grievances, I will make the decision for you. Even if the prince consort is in power, I will also participate in the saint. However, before the case is concluded, Master Cheng must abide by his rules. I have already said in the yard, don't blame me for being ruthless."
As soon as Wei Yuanchen finished speaking, a yamen immediately stepped forward and raised Master Cheng and walked out the door.
"What are you going to do?" Master Cheng felt his eyes turned upside down, and then his body hit the ground firmly. His legs, arms, and belly hit the ground, and his bones and internal organs seemed to be broken. He subconsciously wanted to struggle to get up, and his neck and shoulders were pinched by sticks and pressed there again.
Master Cheng could hardly breathe, and he never thought that Wei Yuanchen would really dare to attack him.
