Chapter 169 The original owner carried the black pot for many years
Although these are not direct clues, they are either participants, or they have heard the "old sisters" vaguely mention it with their own ears. In order to survive this time, regardless of whether it is true or not, they all confessed, and they just asked not to sell them.
.
They are already quite old. If they are sold at this time, who will want them?
Fate is almost doomed.
They were used to being domineering and nurturing in the Yao family. They had never suffered like that. When they heard that they were going to be sold to the dirtiest, poorest and most torturous place, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they confessed whatever they were told.
What.
The servants in the Yao family's old house didn't have many strong bones to begin with, otherwise they wouldn't be as bad as when Gu Qingling came through, so she could hardly pick a good one, and could only pick from the bottom.
Great efforts were made to retrain.
So now that Uncle Yao and Mrs. Yao are investigating, they are willing to say anything in order to get a good result.
Just what is said...
Gu Qingling's heart sank. She only guessed what secrets the Yao family hid, but she didn't expect that she was also "blind" and didn't realize that Aunt Zhang was this kind of person.
No wonder she had found it strange before. They were all members of the Yao family. Why were Uncle Yao, Second Master Yao, and Third Master Yao drugged, but why not Sixth Master Yao?
At that time, she made a guess, that is, the other party would wait until Yao Liuye got married and had a child. After all, the previous ones were all in this situation.
But looking back now, I find that many things are signs. For example, in the memory of the original owner, there are traces of Aunt Zhang secretly "taking care of" Yao Liuye.
But at that time, this matter had not yet broken out, and the original owner thought that Aunt Zhang saw that Aunt Chen was being favored, and that she was just doing this to please Aunt Chen.
They are both sons, why is Mr. Yao Liu so popular with Aunt Chen, but the other one has become a weed that no one wants?
No matter how biased you are, a mother can't be biased like this, right?
When Gu Qingling was rectifying the Yao family tradition in Yunyang City, she had already discovered that Aunt Chen had an informant in Aunt Zhang's yard. However, she was in a hurry to rectify the family tradition and dealt with the person directly without doing more investigation.
But what if Mr. Yao Liu is really the child that Aunt Zhang gave to Aunt Chen?
Then everything will fall into place.
Aunt Zhang "secretly" takes care of Mr. Yao Liu because he is her biological son; the reason why Aunt Chen is so partial to Mr. Yao is because the eyeliner sent by Aunt Zhang is provoking...
There is a reason why Mrs. Yao San would listen to the slander and raise a brother Yao Anyi as her sister - given Aunt Chen's patriarchal temperament, if Mrs. Yao San gave birth to a daughter, wouldn't it mean that she would be able to drive a wedge between them?
Are the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law related?
These "little things" may seem inconspicuous, but when they are piled up one after another, Auntie Chen becomes morbidly partial today - she only has one son, Yao Liuye, in her heart.
Today, when Aunt Zhang took Miss Yao Qi and Miss Yao Ba away, she also "abducted" Master Yao Liu.
"Continue the investigation, I need evidence."
"Yes, mother."
…
It is impossible for such a big thing to have no traces. Even if it has a long history, if you really want to investigate, you will not be able to find some clues.
Especially after the death of the earl, the Yao family was forced to leave the capital, and Aunt Zhang had to pack up her gifts and leave together in a hurry. In order to tie up, the things she did...
The old lady who once served her and was said to have returned to her "hometown to enjoy the blessings" died on the way; her most trusted personal maid was said to have been "redeemed" by her family and got married, but she had never seen her daughter at home.
; The family of the coachman who was responsible for driving the carriage to run errands, the original owner was obviously sold, but after changing hands several times, it fell back into the hands of Yao Rumeng...
It is impossible to investigate everything clearly in just a few days, but what we found out before our eyes is already very shocking.
Gu Qingling felt a chill down his back. He didn't expect that there was such a powerful poisonous snake hidden next to the original owner. It seemed quiet, but it was waiting for opportunities and could always kill its prey at the most precise moment.
Those women in the backyard who died of illness and had been favored; those bastards who had been favored by the earl, had accidents just after they stood up; those who had been blamed by the original owner were "disliked" inexplicably...
Oh My God?!
It’s all related to Aunt Zhang?!
It turns out that there were always dead people in the backyard back then, either those who were being favored, or those who might threaten the throne. The Earl and the old lady immediately suspected the original owner.
After further investigation, many of those "accidents" were man-made, but I don't know why the original owner was clever and didn't let them get any evidence. Considering the two legitimate sons of Uncle Yao and Second Master Yao, they had no choice but to endure it.
It came down without specifying it.
However, it was not made clear that depriving the original owner of the housekeeper's rights, neglecting the original owner, and allowing the original owner as the "mistress" to act in name only, the Earl and the old lady could still do it.
When Gu Qingling heard what Uncle Yao and Mrs. Yao had investigated from the old man who had served the Earl and the old lady, her whole body was shocked.
Isn’t it clear to her whether the original owner has done it before?
She was the one who inherited the complete memory of the original owner. The original owner didn’t remember these things, so why should these things be blamed on the original owner? After shouldering such a big blame, Gu Qingling felt sorry for the original owner: I didn’t do anything, how could it be like this forever?
A sinner?
"Uncle Xiao, I have never done these things." Gu Qingling looked serious and stared at the old man in front of him closely, because he told Uncle Yao and Mrs. Yao most of these things.
Gu Qingling could only be thankful that Uncle Yao still trusted her and came to ask her as soon as he learned about the matter, otherwise she would have to continue to "take the blame" for the original owner.
Sure enough, as a close confidant of the Earl, Uncle Xiao became cold-faced when he heard about this: "The Earl and the old lady personally investigated back then, how could they be wrong? Old lady, I don't know what tricks you used.
, I coaxed the lord and madam away, but you know what you did back then. Even if you go underground, I still have the face to see the count and the old lady."
"If I did these things, then I ask you, why would I harm my son and daughter-in-law?"
Uncle Xiao didn't understand. What was the relationship between Uncle Yao and the others about what was investigated back then?
However, the next moment, he heard Uncle Yao say with a sad face: "Uncle Xiao, I know that I brought you to see my mother, and you were a little unhappy and felt that I betrayed my father and the others, but I believe in my mother."
, these things must not have been done by my mother. Because the medicine you mentioned... me and Mrs. Yu were both taken."
Uncle Xiao looked over in disbelief, looked at Uncle Yao, and then at Mrs. Yao: "How is that possible?! As soon as the earl and the old lady investigated those medicines, they immediately destroyed them.
Everyone around Taijun has also been sent away..."
At this point, he paused.
Wait, is this the point?
The point is, the old lady is Uncle Yao's biological mother. Even if she wants to harm others, will she harm Uncle Yao?
It couldn't be possible. They didn't handle the medicine properly back then and let those who had a grudge against the old lady get it. Then it was handed down to Uncle Yao and others, right?
