The old lady froze on the spot, and then she suddenly raised her voice.
"Are you blaming me? Zhao Yixuan, I am your mother, is it possible that I will still harm you?"
Unexpectedly, Elder Zhao's face darkened when he heard this.
"You should ask my father if he can believe you."
Suddenly, the old lady seemed to be strangled by someone's neck, her face turned red from holding back, and she could not utter a single word.
There was some deep fear in her eyes.
When he looked at Elder Zhao again, there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Only this time, she didn't notice any looseness in her son's expression.
"Send the old lady back. From now on, you are not allowed to trouble the old lady with anything at home."
Zhao Yixuan coldly took away all her rights.
The old lady swayed and said, "No, no!"
How is this possible?
The glory and wealth she had finally regained must not be lost like this!
"No? Then you can go back to your country to take care of yourself. If anyone comes, send the old lady away immediately."
Hearing this, the old lady almost fainted.
"Oh my god, you are forcing my old lady to die! I can't live anymore, I have no shame to live anymore!"
Looking at the old lady who was rolling around, Zhao Yixuan took a deep breath.
In the past, he might have been a bit intolerant of the old lady.
But over the years, she relied on her status to interfere in his family affairs several times, and even attacked his wife.
The love of childbirth and childbirth had long been worn away by herself, and now he had no reason to be patient with her anymore.
He pinched the bridge of his nose and said expressionlessly, "If you really want to die, then go to my father's tombstone and kowtow to apologize in person. If you crash and die there, I will clear your name and let you follow
My father was buried together to give you glory after death, what do you think?"
The old lady's crying stopped suddenly, and she had to squeeze out a few tears.
"I, I don't want to die"
She was shaking all over and said in a weak voice.
How could Zhao Yixuan not know that she was just acting?
Back then, she was able to abandon her husband and son, and even indirectly caused his father's death.
He should not have had any illusions about such a selfish and heartless woman.
"If you don't want to die, then leave as soon as possible. I am not my father, and there is no maternal love between us."
He no longer wanted to waste time in front of this woman.
After giving the order to drive her away without mercy, he led the people directly out of Zhao's house.
"Old madam, does the elder really want to send you away?"
Next to her, she was always following those who wanted to please her. The mother-in-law asked in a low voice with a somewhat unpleasant look on her face.
The old lady's face darkened.
She must not leave. This is her son's family business. As a mother, she should enjoy it and not leave these things to outsiders.
"Why go away, unless I die!"
She glared at the old woman fiercely, and then looked in the direction of Mrs. Duan's yard.
Since Zhao Yixuan, the son, is unkind, then we cannot blame her, the mother, for being unjust.
And he is her son after all. One day, he will know that she is doing everything for him.
Pursing her lips, the old lady eagerly led people to Mrs. Duan's yard.
As for what the two women with ulterior motives discussed, I'm afraid only they themselves know.
The place where Lin Mengya asked Elder Zhao to meet was a bamboo garden outside the city.
This is a local feature, because there are green bamboos all year round, and the locals are very good at using local materials, so every household will have bamboo products.
And if the owner like Elder Zhao is free, he will also build a bamboo garden.
It is said to be a garden, but in fact it should be as big as half a mountain.
There are lush bamboos inside, which can be used not only for use, but also for viewing.
Elder Zhao avoided everyone's sight and hurried here.
After he asked someone to guard the door of the bamboo garden, he frowned and found the place where they met.
At this time, Lin Mengya was squatting on the ground, digging winter bamboo shoots with the assistance and command of Long Tianyu.
"Oh, this one is really quite big."
Lin Mengya, whose hands were full of mud, looked at the "golden tower" in her hands with satisfaction.
The winter bamboo shoots produced here are large and tender, not bitter or astringent, and are really delicious.
And digging bamboo shoots is addictive.
One or two people didn't feel it yet, but as they saw more and more bamboo shoots in their hands, they felt that they couldn't stop.
Long Tianyu wiped the sweat from her forehead nonchalantly.
By the way, he also handed the dagger he used for self-defense to his wife to dig bamboo shoots.
If the group of forging masters outside saw this, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
The dagger is called "Zangfeng". Because of its special material, it cannot be forged into a long sword, but can only be made into a short blade.
But that thing, even cowhide, can be easily separated, just like a layer of tissue paper.
Now he is using it to dig bamboo shoots for his wife!
Sin, oh sin! His behavior is simply a waste of money!
Zhao Yixuan was in a heavy heart. He was not paying attention, and suddenly his feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground.
He lowered his head angrily, only to see that his feet were trapped in a small pit.
And looking around, there are quite a few small pits like this around.
He immediately felt a little cautious in his heart. Could it be that someone was digging a trap to harm him?
Unexpectedly, not far ahead, I saw the couple, who seemed to be digging bamboo shoots?
Lin Mengya happily piled the bamboo shoots with their shells simply peeled off into Long Tianyu's arms.
Until Elder Zhao's somewhat unbelievable voice came from behind.
"Did you dig those holes?" ??
Lin Mengya looked back and before she knew it, there were already large and small pits behind her.
She has a lot of problems, and the way she digs bamboo shoots is more like digging for medicine, so the pit is bigger than usual.
He nodded without any burden and waved the bamboo shoots in his hand.
"I'm just digging winter bamboo shoots. Elder Zhao, do you want some? There are quite a few over there."
At this time, Zhao Yixuan could only let out a long breath and slowly shook his head.
Fortunately, it would be fine as long as she didn't dig this hole to bury him.
Also, this forest garden seems to belong to his family.
It's a pity that not only do I dare not say it, but I also have to wait for this little ancestor to dig it all out.
Long Tianyu kept observing the other party's expression.
Seeing that he was really anxious, he reached out his hand and patted his wife's back gently.
"Madam, do you want to rest first?"
Lin Mengya rubbed her waist, nodded and obediently returned the dagger to the other party.
Long Tianyu had someone bring water, wet it with a handkerchief, and wipe the dirt off her fingers bit by bit, before someone packed up the bamboo shoots and took them away.
Madam has dug out so much, you can add some vegetables at night.
Elder Zhao was forced to eat a large bowl of this young man's disgusting dog food, and his mood became even more unpleasant.
Alas, I miss my wife.
I really don’t know when he will be able to take his wife back in an open and honest manner.
There is a small bamboo house in the forest, and the three of them are sitting in the room.
After Elder Zhao glanced at the two young men, he asked with some urgency, "Are the things you wrote in the letter true?"
It's not that he doesn't believe them both.
It's just that over the past few years, although he has been focusing on business, even his wife has been somewhat neglected.
But he felt that under his nose, at least in the small town where he was, there should be no such bad things. of.
I knew he wouldn't believe it so easily.
Lin Mengya produced two confessions.
This is the cause and effect stated by the two surviving maids of the Zhao family.
In addition, in order to increase the credibility of their confessions, Lin Mengya also asked them to tell some things that outsiders would not easily know but only people in their house could know.
There were two pieces in one piece, and Zhao Yixuan still felt that someone had deliberately forged them.
But after seeing the two of them tell him at the same time that he had offended his wife and was chased all over the yard with a feather duster by her, he withdrew the two confessions with a bang.
No! If he continues to look at it, he may lose all face!
"Where did you know these things?" He was embarrassed and angry, but his face became more and more serious.
Of course Lin Mengya knew what was written in it.
Anyway, she had already finished laughing at the things that needed to be laughed at, and she was just acting businesslike at the moment.
"I learned from two maids who were sold by the Zhao family that we have rescued these two people, but according to what they said, they were actually wronged. But there was no reason, why would anyone want to frame them?
?”
There are many secrets behind the gate of the mansion.
Lin Mengya knows this better than anyone else.
A family like hers, if something is seen by someone who shouldn't see it, they will find ways to keep them silent.
But the strange thing about this incident is that they were all wronged.
She also inquired in detail and found out that the two maids were not personal maids of the masters, but were just responsible for sweeping the yard and doing various menial tasks.
Even they themselves had no idea why they suffered such a disaster.
That's why Lin Mengya felt strange.
Zhao Yixuan was also confused.
"I don't know much about the affairs in the house. Although my wife has clear rewards and punishments, she will never do such a thing."
Tsk, you still know how to defend Aunt Fang when you open your mouth.
Lin Mengya ticked him off in the little notebook in her heart.
"I also don't think it was Aunt Fang who did it, and of the two of them, one was in charge of serving Mrs. Jing, and the other was in charge of the courtyard where the study is located."
Elder Zhao frowned slightly.
"I really can't remember who this person was, but I remember that there seemed to be a little girl who sneaked into my study and stole some things."
It had been a long time, and what was lost was just an insignificant inkstone, so he didn't take it to heart.
It was something that happened after that that left a deep impression on him, so he also wrote down the incident of throwing things.
