"Okay, you two girls, just stay behind and watch. I can handle this matter!" The old lady's majestic voice left no room for doubt.
Ye Qianying had no choice. Although her father usually had nothing to say about the good relationship between her and Mei Dai, he could never stand on their side when it came to conflicts with the old lady.
In addition, today is the mother's fault. The father lost two children innocently. If she talks back to the old lady again, she will not be fine today.
"Yes, my granddaughter knows!" Ye Qianying nodded obediently, and then stood up. When facing Ye Qingcheng, she no longer had the daggers that she had just now, and slowly walked to the side and stood there.
Ye Qingcheng didn't care so much anymore. She just left the old lady's place today and went back to the yard to brew some fruit wine, make elixirs and pick fruits. She was very tired, so she walked to the old lady's position and sat down.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Grandma Su answered the old lady's words tremblingly.
"Old madam, there is a reason why I accompanied the eldest lady to Aunt Cai's place. It is really not unreasonable." After saying that, he glanced at Ye Qianying and saw her nodding. This was giving her full authority to come up with a reason, so she spoke again.
Start messing around.
"I heard from the officials that the master has been pestered by Aunt Cai all day long, and even the government affairs have been delayed. It is almost the end of the year, and there must be a lot of things to deal with in the court. How can the master bear it?
Our wife was also worried about the master's health, and was also afraid that the master's important affairs would be delayed and affect his official career, so we came here to try to persuade Aunt Cai to stop pestering the master all day long.
After all, the master has been staying with Aunt Cai during this period, and the other aunts have not competed with her. It is not enough for Aunt Cai. It is too much to pester the master for a few days during the day.
Madam didn't do anything excessive when she came here. Aunt Cai relied on being favored and didn't take Madam seriously. She didn't even show courtesy when she saw Madam. Madam was so talented that she punished Aunt Cai.
I really didn’t know that Aunt Cai was pregnant, otherwise how could Madam harm the master’s heir?”
Aunt Su didn't look scared when she spoke. The story was well organized and all Su Rou's unreasonable troubles were considered to be for the sake of Ye Jinnian. All the faults were placed on Aunt Cai. Su Rou was
Nothing wrong at all.
But Cai'er was not a master who would let things go. As soon as she heard this, she quit immediately. At this time, she could only defend herself. No one could help her, so she immediately knelt down again.
"Old madam, it's not what Aunt Su said. This slave did not disrespect the eldest madam. It was the eldest madam who slapped me in the face as soon as she entered the yard. The slap made me not respond quickly, so I delayed my salute.
Moreover, the master comes to my slave during the day because the master likes the slave's grinding. When the master is doing official business, the slave does not disturb him. He only serves the pen and ink, serves tea and water. It is not as dirty as the eldest lady said! I
Man, my servant has always been by your side to serve you, don’t you understand how my slave is like a human being?”
After listening to the two people's explanations, the old lady knew in her heart that Cai'er was telling the truth and that Aunt Su was just making up nonsense, but it still wouldn't work without evidence.
"You two can't take what you said, so let's call all the girls and women who were there at the time and let them tell us what happened! Aunt Cui, go and call them all!"
As soon as Grandma Cui heard this, she immediately went out to invite people.
But she was stopped by Ye Qianying on the side. She stepped forward and said softly, "Grandma, Aunt Cai and mother have had miscarriages. This is really not the time to interrogate these matters. Why don't you let Aunt Cai go back and rest first?"
How about waiting for them to recover a little before making a decision?
Although it is true that Aunt Cai was disrespectful to her mother, she still learned a lesson and lost a child for no reason. Although my granddaughter is angry with her for being unruly, her body is big, so it’s better not to get sick again because of this!"
She didn't dare to let the old lady interrogate her any longer. The people from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion hadn't come yet. If she let the old lady interrogate her any longer, if the incident just happened was revealed, her mother might be divorced if the miscarriage was minor.
Jealousy is a sin of seven kinds. What's more, two children were lost due to jealousy. Even if the father writes a letter of divorce, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion may not be able to help.
"Second Miss, please rest assured. My body is not in danger. I just want to be innocent and give an explanation to my dead child!"
As soon as Aunt Cai heard what Ye Qianying said, she immediately stopped her, claiming that she was fine and that she had to make a decision now.
"But mother... she hasn't woken up yet and is still in a coma. The granddaughter is afraid that the noise will affect her mother..." Ye Qianying did not look at Aunt Cai and looked at the old lady to speak.
The obvious meaning is that I don't want to interrogate the people present now.
During the stalemate, Ye Jinnian hurried back with Doctor Liu.
Seeing so many people in the hall, he was stunned for a moment. Then he saw the old lady sitting in the main seat and quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Mom, why are you here? It's not good for me. It's unlucky here. Please send your mother back!"
He didn't want the old lady to ask about this matter. After all, he did kick Su Rou's child, and he didn't know if he could save it.
"The house lost two children all at once, how can I stay here? You too, you don't know how to be pampered, even if you are wet with rain and dew, why should I teach you? I know Su Rou is jealous, so you can't be more balanced! Now look,
Two lives were lost..."
The old lady held her forehead sadly, looking very sad. It really looked like that.
Ye Jinnian's face turned ugly. "Mom, did Cai'er and Su Rou have miscarriages? Didn't they save either one?"
At this time, he did not dare to run past the old lady and run into the inner room to take a look.
He also didn’t notice Cai’er who was kneeling on the ground with Nanny Su.
He was only worried that the Zhongyong Hou Mansion would settle the score with him.
At this time, he no longer felt bad that the child in Su Rou's belly could not be saved. He was just afraid because of the people in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
"Ask the doctor to go in and see Su Rou! She's not awake yet!" The old lady waved her hand, "Bring Cai'er in and have a rest too!"
Only then did Ye Jinnian see Cai'er on the ground. Seeing that she had changed her clothes, he didn't pay close attention to the wounds on her body. He nodded and motioned to the girl next to Cai'er to help others in.
Although Cai'er was extremely reluctant, she could not resist the old lady's order and let the girl help her in.
Ye Qianying breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the old lady didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore.
But before she could let out her breath, the old lady's voice rang out.
"Nanny, accompany grandma to the front hall. Aunt Cui, go and bring everyone to the front hall for questioning. Stop making noise here and let Cai'er and Su Rou have a good rest!"
Suddenly, Nanny Su and Ye Qianying's eyes widened as they spoke, and countless fears passed through their hearts.
Soon, Ye Meidai who was in the inner room was also kicked out. She followed her sister and Aunt Su to the front hall, discussing countermeasures along the way.
