Riding the Pheonix Chapter 51: Sinister
After crying for a while, the second wife said: "My mother is getting old, so she cried again, and I am afraid that she may not be able to hold on. My fourth brother and sister, please stay with me if you can."
The fourth lady responded in a low voice.
Looking at Mrs. Six again: "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."
The sixth lady also cried in response.
"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 let others see you like this." I feel bad!"
Mingwei finally reacted. Her eyelashes moved and she whispered, "I want to stay with my mother for a little longer."
"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Ming agreed repeatedly, "Mother, 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, everything is over. The love of this life."
Everyone agreed.
Mrs. Ming was helped back first.
Then Mrs. Six carried the injured and **** 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 motionless, his face stiff.
"Master?" the fourth lady asked cautiously, "Shall we go and help too? We have to let the third sister-in-law leave in glory."
After a while, the Fourth Master moved his lips: "Oh."
The 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, she was even more worried when she saw Ming Wei acting like this.
Mingwei closed his eyes and finally breathed out.
"What a wonderful show!" She murmured, and couldn't help but smile. "If Mother knew about it, would she feel flattered? Her death could actually help a whole family to make a living. Such a big show."
Mother Tong felt something was wrong when she heard this: "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? Didn’t I leave a letter asking 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 on Madam's behalf. Madam was extremely worried and did not dare to let anyone know, so she went to the memorial hall and waited, saying that Empress Xuannv would Bless you, Miss."
"Madam entered the memorial hall, and at about the fourth watch, she asked Bing Xin to go to bed. 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, the slave went to the altar to take a look. When he saw the lady sleeping on the bed with her clothes on, she didn't dare to disturb her and left. After that, she heard rumors that the sixth lady made a fuss and everyone was killed. Everyone knows it."
"Until noon, the lady still didn't come back, so the servant became anxious. I rushed to the altar and saw that the lady... was hanging from the beam!"
Mother Tong cried out in pain.
Mingwei closed her eyes: "Did Mom hear those words?"
Nanny Tong endured her grief: "My servant found out that the lady had hanged herself, so she 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." Mother Tong wiped her tears, "It just so happened that we had to do some gardening today. There were a lot of people in the garden this morning, and rumors spread very quickly."
Mingwei nodded: "In other words, no one has spoken to mother since the fourth update."
Nanny Tong heard the hidden meaning in her words and asked quickly: "Miss, you mean..."
Mingwei only asked: "Mommy, my mother is the one with the biggest **** of yours. 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 will commit suicide? Someone?"
Mother Tong was startled.
"I already know most of what my mother has been through over the years." She said softly, "She was bullied by the sixth uncle and forced by the second uncle to socialize with those people. In this way, she didn't even seek death. Now I'm fine. You Do you think she will seek death just because of a few gossips?"
Nanny Tong came to her senses: "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 up enduring it and seek death instead?"
"Could it be..." This guess was so terrifying that Mother Tong could hardly stand.
"Furthermore, I know better than I what kind of temperament the Sixth Aunt is like. I heard that she is very weak and can't control the Sixth Uncle at all, even the warblings in the house~IndoMTL.com~ Grandma cleans up from time to time. Why would such a sixth aunt suddenly go to my great-aunt's place to make trouble?"
Mother Tong said: "After all, this matter is too...maybe the Sixth Lady 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 all of a sudden? When Aunt Six went to my great-aunt to make trouble, my great-aunt didn't Knowing that this matter must not be publicized, should we close the courtyard door?"
"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? Just for people to see, how could the whole house be full in just half a day's work? Everyone knows it? Was it spread accidentally or deliberately?"
Mother Tong was so horrified that she was about to collapse.
"The human heart is sinister, more terrifying than any monster in the world." Mingwei murmured, looking at the unconscious Mrs. Ming San, "You never know how sinister the human heart can be, and you can't even touch the bottom line. ”
Nanny Tong held on to the bed, tears falling one after another: "Madam, could it be that Madam's death..."
"Don't cry, Mammy." 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 gone to this extent, even My sixth uncle was beaten half to death, what else can I do? Should I, a junior, be asked to force my elders to die?"
She closed her eyes. There was not a drop of tears 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 will bring about retribution. It’s good that ends well, and evil that ends badly!”
When she opened her eyes, there was no emotion in her eyes, and the words she threw out were like pieces of ice: "Since Empress Xuannv doesn't care, let the people who should be in charge take care of it!"
