The young masters and ladies from the second room had just arrived and were still busy trying to persuade everyone to calm down. Now that they saw that not only was their mother being slandered, but she was also beaten, is this still okay?
Is this clearly bullying them?
If Qian Xiang dared to take action, they would naturally dare to fight back.
The third young master and the fourth young master rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward to seek justice, while the two young ladies held their mother who was about to hit a tree and cried beside her.
The second wife howled and asked her son and daughter to take care of themselves, saying that she was incompetent and would not be able to take care of them in the future. She said that she was going to go underground to find the old man and the ancestors of the Qian family to see how they would deal with these unfilial, disrespectful and shameless descendants...
The old lady had a terrible headache. She had been doing all kinds of things all night, and she couldn't stand it anymore. She had been shouting for a long time to stop, but no one in the excitement heard her voice.
Unfortunately, almost all the people around her went to put out the fire. Now there were only two nuns around her, so they couldn't stop her at all.
Seeing that the farce was getting more and more outrageous, the old lady simply rushed out.
She stopped in front of Qian Xiang...
Qian Xiang had already suffered multiple injuries, but now he was punched and kicked by his two physically strong younger brothers. He fell to the ground in almost two seconds.
Qian Lao San and Lao Si suppressed their anger and showed no mercy. They simply beat him on the burned half of his body...Qian Xiang was beaten until he screamed for help, shouting that he was about to die...
Naturally, the old lady had to stop him. She stood in front of the second grandson and scolded the third and fourth grandson not to do anything again.
The bead string in her hand was thrown out and hit the third child on the head.
After smashing out the red seal, the beads were also scattered all over the ground.
The air suddenly became quiet.
what is this?
Everyone in the second room was even more dissatisfied.
The second wife pushed her daughter away and stepped forward to fight with tears.
"Mother, it was Qian Xiang who beat me first, how could you attack my Rong'er? You are obviously protecting me!"
"Shut up!"
The old lady interrupted.
"Second daughter-in-law, follow me to the other side! I have something to ask you!"
What happened tonight seemed strange, and the old lady also felt that someone was stirring things up in the dark. If there were many people in the family, there would be conflicts of interest, and there was indeed the possibility that the second child's room might do something small.
But the old lady didn't want to quarrel, so she wanted to have a few words with her second daughter-in-law in private.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a figure came out and grabbed the second wife.
"Don't go!"
The visitor is the second master, who always doesn't care about the affairs of the house.
The second master stopped the second wife behind him: "What a joke, why should we be allowed to talk? Did we do something wrong? We are shameful? Mother, are you doing it the other way around?"
The second master's eyes were full of disappointment. "You have gone too far! Are you going to protect Qian Xiang so blatantly?"
"Where can I protect..."
"You are protecting your words and deeds! Everyone has seen it! What Qian Xiang did is outrageous. Qian Feng came out to testify as the sufferer, and you didn't make any remarks? Qian Xiang has no respect for his elders. He attacked his elders and was so treasonous.
You don’t care? Qian Xiang can do whatever he wants, but our second-brother children have to be beaten by you just for protecting their mother? Are these your words and deeds as the head of the family? "
"presumptuous!"
"I have to say that you are outrageous! Do you want to put the shit basin on us based on just a few words from two slaves? The government has to provide evidence when making a judgment. Where is your evidence?"
"I just wanted to ask..."
"unnecessary!"
The old lady was interrupted again.
She suddenly panicked.
Because she saw that her second son's eyes were red. This child had always been idle and rarely felt happy or sad, but now he was trembling with anger.
Second Master: "I know I am not favored. I also know that you only like your eldest brother and his children! We have been tolerant, but you have gone too far this time! Just because we are wronged on weekdays does not mean that we will be bullied this time!
So you don’t need to judge us! We said we didn’t do it, so we didn’t do it!
In this family, there are scandals one after another, and there is nothing to miss. The worst case scenario is to separate the family! As for what happened tonight, I have thought about it. Since you doubt us, instead of making things difficult for you, why not report it to the government?
We will definitely be able to get to the bottom of it and get justice back to us. We just happened to have the two fires investigated at the same time."
"no!"
This "no" came from four people respectively. From the old lady, to brother Qian Feng, to Ni Hong, they all said in unison. Report to the official? Are you ashamed? Will you see anyone again?
But the second master had already dragged the second wife and everyone in the second room and left...
Seeing that the second master was walking out quickly, intending to report to the official in person, the old lady was anxious, so she could only roll her eyes deliberately and fall to the ground.
Aunt Cai shouted for help.
Everyone in the second room could only go and come back. The old lady only asked the second master to say: "I am not doubting you, so you are not allowed to report to the official!"
Tao Ran guessed from the beginning that they would not report to the official.
How to report?
This is not only a scandal, and it will not only make them the joke of the entire upper class society, but also because of a fire, people have been burned to death!
Li Jingui was burned to death in his mansion!
This report to the official may cause more troubles!
Tao Ran knew the urinal nature of these noble people, so he played the game boldly.
The old lady finally got everyone to calm down by pretending to be sick. She said she would wait until dawn before the fire was extinguished before dealing with it.
However, the funny thing is that she had just returned to the main courtyard and had not even had a sip of tea. Qian Xiang and Qian Feng came to report that there was a burglar in the house.
It was said that someone had stolen a lot of property.
break-in?
absurd!
This is bound to be a sleepless night.
The old lady then sent someone to quickly check the whole house. But where else could anything be missing?
A full three-quarters of an hour later, they learned that the two study rooms in the front yard had also been visited by thieves.
The total loss cannot be estimated temporarily?
The old lady almost fainted again.
At this time, all the servants gathered together to take stock and found that there were not many people in the mansion. Their first reaction was that the thief was still in the mansion and the stolen goods were also hidden in the mansion.
So, before the fire there was completely extinguished, a large-scale search of the whole government was started here.
Now, the old lady also understood. A series of events in the mansion tonight were all premeditated by someone. The arson and scandal were all probably for theft...
The one who can do this must be from the mansion.
There must be more than one person who can cooperate so well in everything.
The person who can be fully prepared probably has to be someone who frequently goes in and out of the home.
Those who can devise such a plan should be slaves.
There is only so much scope for suspicion.
Qian Feng, Qian Xiang and Ni Hong are all victims, it is impossible for them.
So the old lady once again suspected the second bedroom.
Then, the second room started making trouble again.
The second master once again made trouble to the official, threatening to go to the clan to prepare for the separation of the family at dawn, and the second wife started to make trouble back to her parents' house. The house was full of chaos. The old lady felt that it was not like the second wife.
Who is that?
Is this hell?
Thinking of ghosts, the old lady thought of the evil spirit again!
What a shame!
How much money did the mansion spend on rituals? A thousand or several hundred taels! But the mansion is still not peaceful! So... the old lady was furious again. Is that Taoist priest a liar?
"Come here! Go and catch that Taoist priest!"
She suddenly thought of another possibility. The Taoist priest came to the mansion many times. He also knew a lot about the mansion. Could it be that he sneaked into the mansion in the middle of the night and committed the theft?
The funny thing is that up to this point, no one still doubts that everything tonight will be related to Li Jingui who is still in the fire...
