Riding the Pheonix Chapter 124: Search

Mrs. Ming woke up from a dream and heard low voices outside, so she asked: "Who is outside?"

Not long after, the maid came in with the second lady.

"Old Madam, the Second Madam is here to see you."

Mrs. Ming smiled weakly and sat up.

The second lady stepped forward, carefully held her waist, and gently helped her up.

"How did your mother sleep?"

Old Madam Ming said wistfully: "My second brother and the others haven't come back yet, how can I sleep?"

The second lady stopped talking.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been together for more than 20 years. Mrs. Ming knew at the first glance that she had something to say, so she said: "Whatever you want to say, it's already this time, why are you hiding it?"

The second lady smiled in response and said to the maid: "I'm afraid mother's medicine is cold, so go and take a look."

"Yes."

The old lady saw her sending the maid away and couldn't help but ask: "What is going on?"

The second lady also thought about it all night.

Her relationship with the second master had already broken down, so there was no need to hesitate to abandon him to save her son. But how to say this to the old lady? The second master is her biological son!

"Just now, Mr. Yang came to the door." After thinking for a moment, the second lady said.

The old lady was stunned for a moment: "What's he doing here?"

The second lady replied: "See Xiaoqi."

The old lady lowered her eyelids and asked after a while: "Is his path feasible?"

The second lady seemed not to understand what she meant, and continued: "My daughter-in-law asked some questions from Xiao Qi and came to ask her mother for an idea."

The old lady felt something was wrong.

Her words were so clear that it was impossible for the second lady not to understand. Why was she so evasive?

The old lady's mind slowly sank: "You say."

"The master has committed a crime." The second lady said softly, "It is a serious matter of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan."

"..."

The old lady's silence made the second lady feel anxious.

The incident with the third lady forced them to act out a scene. They were more or less expecting it, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

After a while, the old lady said: "Go on."

"Yes." The second lady calmed down and could only continue to say, "Now that something has happened, not only the master, but also the uncle and fifth uncle in Beijing will be implicated. Xiaoqi said that seizing his position and ransacking his home It can be considered a great favor from the emperor."

The old lady looked indifferent.

She had already guessed what the second lady wanted to say.

"Young master Yang wants us to cooperate with the prosecution and make meritorious service. In that case, we may be able to save the younger generation and retain hope. Otherwise, the whole family may be turned over."

The second lady deliberately said this as what Yang Shu meant.

In this way, the weight is heavy enough.

Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Mrs. Ming did not speak for a long time.

The second lady felt uneasy and did not dare to rush.

After a long time, I heard the old lady say: "Is this what you meant?"

The second lady was surprised: "Mother."

"Ever since the incident with the eldest sister, you and the second child have grown tired of each other. You must be willing to leave him and keep the child."

The second lady was silent for a moment and whispered: "Mother Mingjian, I am indeed extremely disappointed with him. But he is the father of the third son and the sixth son. For the sake of the children, I also hope that he will be well. But this matter is too big. It’s impossible to take it out..."

Mrs. Ming waved her hand and interrupted her: "You don't have to defend yourself. I know the inside story better than you."

The second lady moved her lips but said nothing.

The old lady asked again: "Second daughter-in-law, how many years have you been in our house?"

The second lady replied: "Twenty-five years."

"It's been twenty-five years." The old lady smiled, "In the past twenty-five years, the Ming family has treated you well. You are in charge of the house, and you say every word, and it will not be owed to you in any way. ."

"Yes..." Listening to this, the second lady became even more uneasy.

"In life, there will be reunions and separations." The old lady closed her eyes, "I just hope that you will remember this little affection and treat the third brother and the sixth brother well in the future."

After the second lady was stunned, she was shocked: "Mother!"

The old lady looked dull: "You are a mother, and I am also a mother. How can I not know what you are thinking? I know in my heart what crime the second son committed. Even though you are a little ruthless in your choice, you are not sorry for him. . Because of your loving motherly heart, I will not be angry with you, and you will not come to me in the future. You make the decision on those things."

After saying that, she turned her head and said nothing.

The second lady listened blankly, tears streaming down her face.

She married into the Ming family for twenty-five years and spent twenty-five years with the old lady. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along very well with each other and had a deep love. Listening to the old lady's words, how can one not feel sad?

But what can she say at this moment? The decision to give up her husband to save her children cannot be shaken. She will definitely feel sorry for the old lady.

The second lady slowly knelt down and said, "Thank you, mother, for your understanding."

After the ceremony, she stood up and walked out resolutely.

The old lady turned her head, looked at the empty room, and burst into tears for a moment.

She is also a mother, and she also wants to save her child, but she can't, she can't!

That day, when the second brother came with someone to plead guilty to her, she knew that the Ming family was finished! I just regret that I didn’t die early enough, but I still saw this scene with my own eyes...

……

In the afternoon, the search team came.

Leading the team was Lei Hong.

As soon as he arrived ~IndoMTL.com~, he sent someone to invite Mingwei.

"Seventh Miss." Lei Hong stood up and saluted.

There are no men in the Ming family now, only the second lady is here.

Mingwei returned the gift and greeted the second lady again: "Second aunt."

There was no smile on the second lady's face, she just nodded stiffly in response.

"It's getting late, let's start now!" Lei Hong got straight to the point, "Second Madam, will you lead the way?"

The second lady nodded: "My lord, please follow me."

On the way, the two of them heard the second lady say: "Ten years ago, the master suddenly asked me to clean up a yard and use it as a study for him. Everything else is secondary, and it must be quiet enough. In the past ten years, apart from being in the courtyard, No one is allowed to step in the mama who is waiting there, not even me."

The second lady paused and showed a mocking smile: "He doesn't even think about how careless the man is. I clean up that house and manage this house. Even if I can't step into this yard, I don't care. How could you not know anything? There is someone hiding in that room!"

At this point, they had already arrived outside the courtyard.

Lei Hong winked, and the official behind him broke through the door.

The second lady stepped in slowly.

"Although I haven't been here for ten years, I don't necessarily know less than him about some things!"

The yard is not big, with three main rooms, plus a side room and a servant's room.

The second lady opened the main room: "The things you want should be here. Not long after the man moved in, work was done here. Please pay attention to whether there is a dark room."

Mingwei glanced at her unexpectedly: "Second aunt..."

The second lady’s face was expressionless and she didn’t know what she was thinking.

Not long after, the inspecting officer loudly reported: "Sir, a secret room has been found!"
