She watched Mrs. Mingsan being laid to rest with her own eyes. She obviously died and her body was cold. How could it be...
Encountering such an unspeakable thing, the second lady wanted to faint.
But she wanted to faint, but she just couldn't.
The cold touch on her hands was particularly clear, reminding her of the situation she was facing.
The second lady did not dare to look directly, she turned her head and looked away, holding back the fear in her heart, and said tremblingly: "Third brother and sister, it was not me who killed you, you, don't come to me..."
"If it's not you, then who is it?" Mrs. Mingsan's originally gentle voice was now stiff, as if she was as cold as her body. "Second sister-in-law, we have always gotten along well. But you clearly know that there is someone
They killed me, but you helped them do things and helped them bully Xiaoqi. Second sister-in-law, you are an accomplice."
The word accomplice struck a sore spot for the second lady.
"No, I'm not!" The second lady almost cried, "I didn't mean it, and there's nothing I can do about it!"
Mrs. Mingsan stopped talking, but held her hand tighter.
The second lady was crying and said: "You have Xiao Qi, and I also have San'er and Liu'er. The third son is still small, but the sixth son is still young! What can I do? Do I have a falling out with the family? If something happens to a man, that's it.
My wife and children can’t handle the whole family’s affairs. I don’t want them to be criticized in the future!”
Mrs. Mingsan dragged her into the coffin.
The second lady pressed her other hand against the coffin, trying desperately to break away: "Third brother and sister, please! I will help you take care of Xiao Qi, please don't hurt me. Liu'er is still young, I can't leave!"
"You have a child, don't I? You watch others bully her, and you help others spy on her. Second sister-in-law, I don't believe you."
"I really have no choice." The second lady begged, "He has already spoken, what can I do? Besides, I didn't do anything to Xiao Qi. I only asked Qiu Yu to take good care of her..."
"You lied. Qiu Yu kept watching and didn't let her have contact with others."
"this……"
"Second sister-in-law, you have to pay for the evil you have done!" Madam Mingsan said coldly, "You have done it no matter what, you have done it. You have harmed me and Xiaoqi, so be careful of retribution on your child in the future."
"No!" the second lady blurted out, "If you want revenge, come to me! I did it, and I will pay you back. Don't harm my child!"
"Haha..." Mrs. Mingsan only sneered twice and did not answer.
The second lady is almost desperate.
The Ming family does not believe in ghosts and gods, so she usually does not pay attention to such things, and does not know what to do if she encounters a ghost.
In desperation, she could only think of what the old man said, that people don't leave after they die because they have something in their heart that they can't let go of. As long as they meet their demands, they will leave.
"Third brother and sister, tell me, whatever you want me to do, I will help you! I just ask you to let me go."
Mrs. Mingsan's cold voice was full of resentment: "Third sister-in-law, I am wronged! I have never harmed anyone, why did I end up like this!"
The second lady cried and said: "Your life is bad, and I can't do anything about it! What can I do to save you? Who doesn't live in a muddleheaded way if they marry a non-human? It's over for the rest of their lives. How can I save you? I can't even save myself.
It can’t be saved!”
Mrs. Mingsan remained silent for a while, wondering if she was moved by her words.
The second lady said again: "I promise you to take care of Xiao Qi, okay? Don't worry, I will treat Xiao Qi as my own child and won't let others bully her. After the filial piety period is over, I will choose a good marriage for her, Feng
Send her out in a beautiful way, and don’t let her suffer the hardships we have endured..."
At this point, the second lady felt sad, she was really sad: "Third brother and sister, how could I not understand you? My eldest sister was harmed by others, so she had to marry far away. As a mother, I am seven or eight
I haven't seen her in years, and every year I send people to see her, but every year she refuses to send a message back. I know she resents me! But what can I do?"
After crying for a few times, the second lady said: "I will help you take care of Xiao Qi, and she will not suffer such a disadvantage. If your natal nephew is good, ask Xiao Qi to marry back to your natal family. If not, I will give it to her myself.
Can you rest assured if you choose a good family and don’t seek wealth, but just good character?”
When she didn't get a response, the second lady had no choice but to continue: "This is all I can do. Revenge for you is impossible. I don't have the ability! What's more, that's..."
"Madam! Madam!"
The second lady felt her body shake and suddenly woke up.
She took a few breaths and found that she fell asleep sitting on the chair.
The mother-in-law who called her breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was awake: "Madam, why did you fall asleep here? It's cold at night, so you should go back to sleep. There are a lot of things these days, so you have to take some time to rest."
The second lady wiped the sweat from her forehead and thanked her.
After hesitating for a moment, she bravely went to the resting place at the back, where Mrs. Mingsan was lying peacefully.
I went back to the small cubicle and took a look. Mingwei had already fallen asleep with her clothes on, the girl Ah Wan was lying on the small couch, and Qiu Yu was dozing off in the chair.
The second lady thought for a while and pushed Qiu Yu to wake up.
"Madam?" Qiu Yu looked sleepy, waiting for her instructions.
The second lady lowered her voice: "You have been here for two days. Go back and sleep for a few hours."
Qiu Yu quickly shook her head: "This slave can hold on, not to mention that Miss Seven needs someone to serve her here."
"It doesn't matter, you can come back tomorrow when you wake up."
How could Qiu Yu be unhappy that his master was so considerate? He thanked her quickly and walked out of the compartment quietly.
After the master and servant left, they looked at Mingwei and Awan who were already asleep, and opened their eyes at the same time.
"What did you just do?" Ah Wan said thoughtfully, "Mrs. Ming'er actually called the maid away."
Mingwei sat up and straightened her hair: "Did the girl find out?"
Ah Wan said: "As soon as she came in, you were secretly performing the ritual. As soon as we entered the room, she immediately fell asleep. How could I not know that you were performing the spell?"
Mingwei took a sip of water: "Girl, who do you think was responsible for the death of my mother and the corpse in the garden?"
"I guess there are only a few masters of the Ming family, right? The sixth master of the Ming family didn't have that ability, and he was too young ten years ago. He can only be one of the second or fourth masters."
"So, who knows them best in this family?"
Ah Wan wanted to roll her eyes, but held it back for the sake of image: "Of course she is their wife."
Mingwei nodded: "The people who are most likely to know their dirty things are the Second Madam and the Fourth Madam. The Fourth Aunt has been ill for the past few days, so I can't see her. The Second Aunt, I see that my conscience is still there,
If we can impress her and find out the truth, it will be much easier."
"Then did you hear it?"
Ming smiled and said: "It's still a little worse."
She recounted the conversation that the second lady had just had in her dream.
"What a pity." Ah Wan commented, "If it had been a little later, maybe we could have learned the truth from the second wife."
"Don't be in a hurry," Mingwei said, "get over her guard first and do it step by step."
