After crying for a while, the second lady said: "My mother is getting old, so she cried again, and I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on. My fourth brother and sister, can you please stay with me?"
The fourth lady responded in a low voice.
Then he looked at Mrs. Six: "Sixth brother and sister, your fault will be punished by your mother. Now that Uncle Six is so seriously injured, you should take care of him first. If nothing happens, don't leave the yard."
Mrs. Six was also crying.
"Xiao Qi." Mrs. Ming hugged her and cried, "This is because my uncles are sorry for you, and my great-aunt will definitely give you an explanation. If you want to cry, just cry. Don't do this, it will make people feel bad!"
"
Mingwei finally reacted, her eyelashes fluttered, and she said softly: "I want to stay with my mother for a little longer."
"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Ming agreed repeatedly, "Mother Tong, take care of her here, don't let her cry and hurt her body. Everyone else left, and asked them to stay for a while, so that they can finish the love of this life.
point."
Everyone agreed.
Mrs. Ming was helped back first.
Then, the Sixth Madam carried the injured and bloody Master out.
The second master and second wife went out to take care of the funeral affairs together, and both the inner and outer courtyards were busy.
The fourth master stood blankly without moving, his face was stiff.
"Master?" the fourth lady asked cautiously, "Shall we go and help too? We must let the third sister-in-law go away in glory."
After a long while, the Fourth Master moved his lips: "Oh."
His originally elegant and handsome face turned gray.
The fourth lady bit her lip, showing pain on her face, but it disappeared only for a moment.
Everyone was gone and the room suddenly became quiet.
"Miss?" Although Nanny Tong was sad, seeing Mingwei like this made her even more worried.
Mingwei closed his eyes and finally let out a breath.
"What a wonderful show!" She murmured and couldn't help but laugh. "If mother knew about it, wouldn't she feel flattered? Her death allowed a whole family to put together such a show.
Big drama.”
Mother Tong heard this and said, "Miss, what are you talking about?"
Mingwei shook his head, said nothing, turned around and entered the inner room.
She sat in front of the bed, held Mrs. Mingsan's hand, and asked Nanny Tong: "Now that they are gone, Nanny, just tell the truth! What happened last night? I didn't stay here
After receiving the letter, will you ask my mother to wait for my return?"
Speaking of this, Mother Tong cried again: "Miss! Why are you so brave? Do you know where that place is? Why did you come back so late today? Could it be..."
"It's okay, nothing happened to me." Mingwei cut her off decisively, "My mother had something happen to me before I came back. It seems that my second uncle already knows what I went to do for her last night."
"Is it really okay?" Nanny Tong confirmed again and again.
"It's okay." Mingwei said, "Let's talk about mother first."
Mother Tong nodded with tears in her eyes: "Last night, when Madam woke up, we found out that Young Lady had gone there in Madam's place. Madam was extremely worried and did not dare to let anyone know, so she went to the altar to wait, saying that Empress Xuannu would protect Young Lady.
."
"When Madam entered the memorial hall, around the fourth watch, she asked Bing Xin to go to sleep. She said that if she felt sleepy, she would rest there and wait for the lady to come back, then she would come back quietly without making any announcement."
"In the morning, I went to the altar hall to take a look. I saw the lady sleeping on the bed with her clothes on, so she didn't dare to disturb her and left. Then she heard rumors, and then the sixth lady caused a scene, which became known to everyone.
"
"Until noon, the lady still didn't come back, so I became anxious. I rushed to the altar and saw that the lady... was hanging from the beam!"
Aunt Tong cried out in pain.
Mingwei closed her eyes: "Mom, did you hear those words?"
Nanny Tong endured her grief: "When I found out that my wife had hanged herself, I asked Bing Xin to investigate. She said that two girls told her about this outside the memorial hall in the morning."
Mingwei asked again: "Where are the two girls?"
"I didn't find it." Nanny Tong wiped her tears, "It just so happened that we had to do some gardening today. A lot of people came to the garden this morning, and rumors spread very quickly."
Mingwei nodded: "In other words, no one has spoken to mother since the fourth update."
Aunt Tong heard a different meaning in her words and asked quickly: "Miss, you mean..."
Mingwei only asked: "Mommy, my mother is the one who has your breasts. Although she is a slave, she can also be called an adoptive mother. They say that mothers and daughters are connected. Let me ask you, do you think my mother is someone who will commit suicide?
?”
Grandma Tong was startled.
"I already know most of what my mother has been through over the years." She said softly, "She was bullied by her sixth uncle and forced to socialize with those people by her second uncle. In this way, she didn't even seek death. Now that I'm better, do you think she will
Are you seeking death just because of a few gossips?"
Mother Tong came to her senses and said, "After the young lady recovered, the madam was thinking deeply about taking her to the capital to live a good life. Why did she suddenly seek death?"
"Yes, why is it so sudden?" Mingwei said quietly, "She has suffered so much over the years, and she has endured it. Why did she end it and seek death instead?"
"Could it be..." This guess was so terrifying that Mother Tong couldn't stand still.
"Moreover, I know better than I what kind of temperament the Sixth Aunt has. I heard that she is very weak and can't control the Sixth Uncle at all. Even the warblings and swallows in the house have to be cleaned up by my great-aunt from time to time. Like this
Sixth Aunt, why did you suddenly go to your great-aunt's place to make trouble?"
Mother Tong said: "After all, this matter is too...maybe the Sixth Madam was angry for a moment?"
"Of course, this is also a possibility." Mingwei continued, "Let's just make a fuss. Why did the rumors spread so quickly? When Aunt Six went to my great-aunt to make trouble, my great-aunt didn't know about it.
It is not allowed to be publicized, should the courtyard door be closed?"
"this……"
Mingwei continued: "There is also the second aunt. Over the years, I have managed the house well and the servants have behaved well. When did such a mistake happen? It took only half a day for people to see it, but how could everyone in the house know about it?
Did it happen? Was it passed on accidentally or deliberately?"
Mother Tong was so frightened that she was about to collapse.
"The human heart is sinister, more terrifying than any monster in the world." Mingwei murmured, looking at the ignorant Mrs. Mingsan, "You never know how sinister the human heart can be, and you can't even touch the bottom line."
Mother Child held on to the bed, tears falling one after another: "Madam, could it be that Madam's death..."
"Don't cry, mama." Mingwei said softly, "Now is not the time to indulge yourself in sadness. Look, how perfect this thing is. Don't let the family scandal be publicized. They have all done it to this extent. Even Uncle Six has done it.
What else can I do if I'm beaten half to death? Should I, a junior, be asked to force the elders to die?"
She closed her eyes. There was not a single tear in her dry eyes, but the veins on her forehead emerged: "But why can't they die! Why can people who do evil things still live well? Karma is the reward for good.
Good things will end, evil will have bad consequences!"
When she opened her eyes, there was no emotion in her eyes, and the sentences she threw out were like pieces of ice: "Since Empress Xuannu doesn't care, let the people who should be in charge take care of it!"
