If a person accidentally bumps into some family secret, he won't be able to resist with his life.
Seeing the menacing scene in the East Crossing Courtyard, the second lady, Mrs. Wang, who was sitting upright, was not afraid at all.
Putting down the teacup at hand, he said provocatively with a half-smile.
"Hey, sister-in-law, are you going to rebel in this battle?"
"Stop blaming me here! As long as the sun is clear, come to my Dongkua Courtyard to show off your power. Second brother and sister, is this your good upbringing?"
The second wife, Mrs. Wang, raised her eyebrows and looked at the determined sister-in-law in front of her, feeling a little strange in her heart.
He is such a submissive person on weekdays, but now he is so courageous!
He dared to talk back in front of his servants.
It's just like what my daughter said, if she doesn't suppress and clean up the big house.
I'm afraid that I will have to learn to bully others in the future!
So he said with a cold face.
"My upbringing has been taught by my parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law, so I don't need to bother my sister-in-law. But third brother's habit of stealing, if he doesn't change it now, will bring discredit to the prime minister's office in the future!"
When he heard the word "steal", Lin Muzhi, who was being held down, began to struggle.
His eyes were almost on fire. He stared at the expression on the second wife Wang's face and wished he could eat her.
Unfortunately, this is the effect Wang wanted.
She just wanted to bring back the arrogance that had just turned the big house upside down!
After going through this process several times, they realized how contemptuous and despicable they were, and naturally they no longer dared to resist.
Seeing her son struggling, Mrs. Dong could not stand still!
He stepped forward and knocked away the women who were pressing his son.
And like a she-wolf protecting her cubs, she stared at them.
They felt so guilty after being stared at that they unconsciously let go.
This time, the second lady Wang was completely angered!
"Who told you to let go! Hold me down and hit me!"
What she said was unreasonable and she was very angry.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't know that in the future this huge Prime Minister's Mansion will be returned to the West Cross Courtyard.
Then one by one, anger arises from the courage, and evil arises from the heart.
He went up and started to attack Lin Muzhi and the eldest lady Dong.
Those who pull people pull people, and those who hold boards hold boards.
Aunt Dong saw her big-breasted wife being bullied like this, but she couldn't bear it.
He picked up the branch at hand and beat the women on them.
She is not someone who has no strength in her hands. She comes from a butcher family, so her hands are very strong.
The continuous beatings made the women jump and run around.
The scene was once out of control.
The second wife, Mrs. Wang, obviously did not expect that Dafang's rebound would be so strong this time, and she was completely frightened by Aunt Dong's actions.
After reacting immediately, he slapped the table and roared angrily.
"It's against the grain. A lowly old slave dares to do something like this. Doesn't he want to live?"
"Mother Dong!"
The eldest lady Dong shouted threateningly, and Aunt Dong, who was originally chasing chickens and dogs, stopped when she heard this.
He walked back to his wife, and after standing still, although he was breathing a little heavily, his face turned quite rosy.
Even the look in his eyes was quite cruel.
"Sister-in-law, is this the nurse brought by your mother's family? If she is so unruly, she should have her hand and hamstrings cut off and sold to an extremely cold place to work as a coolie!"
The second wife, Mrs. Wang, was furious. She had never experienced such idleness since she was born.
How can I bear it!
The eldest lady Dong did not accept her words. She protected Lin Muzhi behind her and asked in a serious tone.
"Catch a thief and take out the dirty things. If you catch a thief, you will make a couple. You said that my son stole the Hu pen from the second brother's child's room. Do you have any evidence?"
When he came up, he first beat up a few women, which established the prestige of the place.
Then he asked in detail, and the incident of the violent beating of the unruly slave was explained in one stroke.
It's not that Mrs. Dong doesn't know how to deal with her second wife, it's just that she had some scruples in the past.
After hearing this, the second lady Wang was indeed led astray by her.
He sneered three times and then said.
"Evidence? I really have this."
After saying that, he clapped his hands and called someone over.
Madam Dong saw that the person coming turned out to be the maid from Xikuoyuan.
Before the girl could open her mouth, Mrs. Dong cursed angrily.
"Bah, the people in your yard are also called evidence? Isn't this obviously trying to frame my son!"
After saying this, he looked at the maid fiercely.
The maid is called Shuyun, and this family is the dowry of the Wang family.
If she doesn't speak to the Wang family or Xi Kuoyuan, then what the hell!
As expected, Na Shuyun was not afraid of Madam Dong's scolding and immediately knelt down and retorted.
"Heaven above, if I wrong my third brother, I will suffer a terrible death!"
After she swore this oath, all the people who came to Xikuoyuan became more energetic.
It's a pity that the eldest lady Dong sneered.
"Although I am a woman, I also know that real evidence is important in handling cases. If one person's life or death can be determined by swearing, how many lives will be unjust in the world!"
Then he said mockingly to the second wife, Mrs. Wang.
"It's a good thing that you were born into the family of the Minister of War. Could it be that the family rules are like this? If outsiders know that Wang Shangshu handles cases and governs the Ministry of War based on oaths, I would like to see if your Wang family will be reviled by others!"
"you!"
The second wife, Mrs. Wang, and the eldest wife, Mrs. Dong, have been sisters-in-law for several years.
After so many years, she has always been at the top and Dong at the bottom.
Even the power of housekeeping is the same, it is in the hands of people from Ronghetang and Xikuoyuan.
Dongkuaoyuan has always been submissive and dare not make any mistakes.
Today, a series of angry attacks came back, which made the always sharp-tongued Second Lady Wang suddenly run out of words.
Of course she knew it was a frame-up, but it had reached this point, and even if she wanted to hastily, she couldn't.
Then he straightened his back and said.
"Sister-in-law, you have a good talk. I didn't know you had such ability before!"
"As the old saying goes, rabbits bite when they are anxious. I am not a clay sculpture, so I will naturally fight for injustice."
After saying that, he glanced at Lin Mu, full of pity.
He raised his head again, looked at the maid Shuyun, and said sharply.
"Since the second lady said you are a witness, please tell me how our third brother entered the West Cross Courtyard, how he entered the second brother's children's room, and how he stole the Hu pen, and then you discovered it!
If there is any disloyalty or dishonesty, I will risk my life today to send you to the official for investigation and accuse you of being a troublesome slave and harming my master!"
The eldest lady Dong's harsh words frightened Shuyun.
The curse she just made was just a casual remark and could not be taken seriously.
But if she is really sent to the official for investigation, not to mention herself, even her family will be implicated.
