Chapter four hundred and thirteenth
In the study room of the Marquis of Dingning.
Cui Zhen sat on the chair and looked at Jiang's mother kneeling on the ground.
Mother Jiang was trembling. After entering the door, the Marquis began to send her family. She first pushed her son out and beat her ten sticks, and then handed her daughter-in-law to a few slutty mothers. Even her little grandson was taken care of. She was full of fear and intuition told her that it would be difficult for her to walk out of this door safely tonight.
What Jiang’s mother was most afraid of was that until now, she still didn’t know what the Marquis wanted to ask her?
"Mr. Marquis," the manager came in and reported, "Mrs. is back."
Cui Zhen put down the tea bowl in his hand and said lightly: "Send her back to the main house to rest. It's cold, don't let her go out again."
Mother Jiang trembled even more. What the Marquis said meant to lock the wife in the house?
The manager didn't expect Cui Zhen to give this order, and bent down and continued, "Madam Zhang is a little uncomfortable, so I'd better let Mrs. Zhang come back with her."
Cui Zhen's voice became even colder: "Since you are not feeling well, just rest in the room, let alone walk around."
The manager wanted to speak, but he felt Dingning Hou's sharp eyes falling on her. The pressure of these two gazes made her hair stand up immediately, and she didn't dare to say anything more and bow and exit the room.
The cold sweat on Mama Jiang's head slid down her cheeks. Now she was sure that her wife couldn't save her.
Cui Zhen instructed Wang Jing: "After one stick of incense, drag the person out and beat ten sticks."
Wang Jing responded and lit a stick of incense in the room, and placed it in front of Jiang's mother.
Mother Jiang knew what the Marquis meant. After one stick of incense, the one who was beaten was her son. Ten sticks were enough to make people beaten to pieces. Her son could have been hit by ten sticks several times.
"Mr. Marquis, please spare me," said Jiang's mother, "Mr. Marquis, please spare me."
Cui Zhen seemed to have not heard it, letting Jiang's mother shout.
"Mr. Marquis," Jiang's mother was panicked, "I entered the Cui family when I was young. I have always been loyal to you and did nothing wrong."
As soon as Mama Jiang finished speaking, she felt a gust of wind passing by her, and then the fragrance in front of her broke.
Mother Jiang didn't know what would happen, so she heard Wang Jing say, "Drag it out!"
The sound of dragging sounded in the yard, followed by her son's panicked begging, but all of them were useless. The sound of the stick hitting the flesh and the sound of his son's cry made Mama Jiang almost collapse on the ground.
After ten sticks were beaten, Wang Jing lit a incense in front of Jiang's mother again.
The fragrance is like a death talisman, waiting to take her life.
Mama Jiang said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Marquis, if you have something to do, please ask me. My son is doing some work in the outer courtyard. He has never made any mistakes. He is innocent."
Cui Zhen raised his eyes, and Mother Jiang subconsciously wanted to protect the fragrance in front of her, for fear that she would be broken by the Marquis again.
Cui Zhen's voice was deep: "There are people in this world who are more innocent than your son."
Mother Jiang looked at those eyes and suddenly understood what the Marquis was asking. The Marquis attacked her son because... it was because she had helped her wife kill the Marquis's child.
Jiang's mother was as if someone had been poured with hot oil from her throat, and there was a burning pain in her internal organs.
"Mr. Marquis," Jiang's wife ran out of the side room. "Mr. Marquis, I heard from my mother-in-law that my mother-in-law can get such a good job and take charge of the big kitchen in the inner house because she helped the lady do a big thing."
Jiang’s wife looked at Jiang’s mother: “Mother-in-law, what have you done? Even if you don’t think about your son, you still have to save your grandson!”
As Jiang Da’s wife knelt down in front of Jiang’s mother, most of the incense burned.
The study door was opened again, and Geng Si, who was working on the village, walked in.
Cui Zhen looked at Geng Si: "Tell me what happened that day."
Geng Si responded and said, "Madam, we will carry Yao Qing's body out and bury it. When we were about to reach the west, Yao Qing reached out and pulled me. Only then did I realize that Yao Qing was not dead."
Geng Si paused for a moment when he said this: "Yao Qing helped my sister, and I couldn't bear to harm her like this, so... I let her go."
Hearing this, Mother Jiang opened her eyes wide. Yao Qing was not dead. Could it be that incident that happened back then? No wonder the Marquis treated his wife like this.
Just as Mama Jiang thought about it, the last wisp of blue smoke in front of her burned out, and the blue smoke spiraled and finally turned into invisible.
Wang Jing clapped her hands, and news came from the yard again.
"Mom...Save me..."
"Mother-in-law...you save Dalang, save your grandson..."
When Jiang's mother heard the door being opened, she dragged Jiang Da in the ward. Jiang Da's pants were soaked in blood, and whip marks were drawn out of her body, her mouth was covered with blood.
Seeing his son's miserable condition, Mother Jiang almost fainted. If he beat him again, his son would be killed.
Mother Jiang could no longer hold on and said tremblingly: "I said, I admit it, I'm the one who poisoned Aunt Sun after listening to the wife's words and framed Yao Qing. But these have nothing to do with my son's family. Please let the Marquis go and spare them!"
"It's really you."
A figure rushed out from behind the screen and she rushed directly to Jiang's mother.
That's Aunt Sun.
Aunt Sun's voice was sharp, and she reached out to tear Jiang's hair and clothes, and then she bit her on Jiang's face.
Mother Jiang screamed in pain when she was bitten, and Aunt Sun's mouth was covered in blood like a ghost.
"You give my baby back, you give me back."
Cui Zhen looked at all this in front of him. Before that, he had never thought that his inner house was so bloody.
Cui Zhen stood up and said lightly: "Take them with you and go to your wife's house."
...
When Mrs. Zhang heard the servant's report, her face became even more ugly. The Marquis was afraid that what did the Marquis ask from Mother Jiang.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but regret that she had known this, she should have gotten rid of Jiang's mother, but too many people died in the Cui family would inevitably arouse Cui Zhen's suspicion.
Shen looked at Mrs. Zhang: "What's wrong with the Marquis? It's so good that I just said to you, why did you talk to you like this? What's more, you're still pregnant now."
Mrs. Zhang subconsciously placed her hands on her stomach.
"Mr. Marquis, Marquis is here."
There was a panic in the yard, and then the door was opened, and Cui Zhen first stepped into the room.
Shen was about to salute, his eyes swept behind Cui Zhen and exclaimed in surprise. Two mothers walked in with a man covered in blood.
There was also a man behind the man who was dressed as a mother in charge. The mother in charge looked very embarrassed, with her hair and messy clothes, and a piece of flesh seemed to have been torn off from her face, looking bloody.
"Marty, what are you doing?" Mrs. Zhang's voice sounded, "What's wrong with them... what's wrong with them?"
Mrs. Zhang's slender body shrank and leaned against the soft edge, and her whole body was shaking in horror.
Mrs. Zhang seemed to recognize her at this time: "Mom Jiang...what happened?"
If it hadn't been prepared for a long time, Cui Zhen would have felt unbearable when he saw Mrs. Zhang's appearance.
Cui Zhen looked at Jiang's mother, and Jiang's mother knelt on the ground: "Madam... Yao Qing is not dead... She told the Marquis about everything that year, and the Marquis... all... know..."
Mrs. Zhang's heart sank, her chest twitched, and Zou Xiang's face appeared in front of her. Sure enough, something happened. When she saw Zou Lin and Zou Xiang in the Marquis' Mansion for the first time, she should have someone checked. If she had taken action at that time, she would not have let the Marquis know about it, and it would have been so troubled.
So today in the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion, she was completely fooled. From Huaiyuan Marquis to Gu Mingzhu, everyone was playing with her and keeping her in the dark.
Thinking about this in my heart, Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned red, tears slid from the corners of her eyes, and she was like a panicked deer, shaking her head desperately and denying: "No... it's not me... it has nothing to do with me..."
Shen did not understand what was going on, so he subconsciously blocked Mrs. Zhang and looked at Cui Zhen, Dingning Hou, not far away: "Brother-in-law, what can I say? My little sister has your flesh and blood in her belly. She had damaged her foundation because of a miscarriage before, and finally got pregnant again. If you make a mistake again, you will kill her life."
Looking at Mrs. Zhang who tried his best to talk about Zhang's love, Cui Zhen suddenly felt a little pity and sorrow. At this time, Mrs. Zhang was like him in the past, deceived by Zhang's weak appearance and protected Zhang's self-righteousness.
Little did Zhang know where she could protect her, she was also a chess piece of the Zhang family.
