Chapter 475 Self-inflicted

   "Sister-in-law, drink **** soup while it's hot."

  Si Mingyue heard Bao Ya's voice, and realized that so many people were watching, her complexion was a little flushed, she hurriedly sat upright, and took the bowl in embarrassment.

  Liu Zhihua gave Baoya a look, beckoned them to go out, and let the young couple talk.

   Baoya smiled, came over and led Jiaojiao to go outside first, "Mom, let's go outside for a cup of tea."

"Um."

  Before leaving, Liu Zhihua glanced at Si Yueniang, seeing this blank person standing still, she was already angry in her heart, and didn't want to pay attention to it, so she went straight out.

  Seeing that they were all gone, Si Yueniang immediately looked at her brother-in-law, pulled her sleeves and said weakly, "Brother-in-law, I really can't possibly harm my sister."

  Si Mingyue stopped drinking the soup, and subconsciously looked at her husband, who actually suspected Yueniang?

  Qiu Sheng had no expression on his face, he held a bowl and made people continue to drink, "Good boy."

  Si Mingyue's face felt hot, so she had to finish the hot soup first.

  Placing down the bowl, Siming Yue glanced at her younger sister hesitantly, and whispered to her husband: "I just heard Bao Ya say, is there some misunderstanding here?"

  Yue Niang is a bit childish, but her nature is not bad. She has been very concerned about herself in the past few years. From time to time, she comes to the house to accompany her to relieve boredom. After thinking about it, there is no reason to harm her child.

  Si Yueniang's eyes lit up when she heard that, she hurriedly approached, and said more and more aggrieved: "I knew my sister would believe in Yueniang."

  Qiu Sheng didn't look at her, stroked his wife's hair and said with a smile, "It's not about the matter or people, as long as everyone who has been in contact with you today asks."

Siming Yue nodded reassuringly, frowned, looked at Yue Niang, and sighed: "Although you have no motive to harm me, my sister won't protect you for what happened just now. If you go out, you will make amends to Jiao Jiao Niang and the others, and you will stay at home in the future." Reflect on it."

  Si Yueniang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as her elder sister believed in her, and she insisted on denying it, no one else could do anything to her.

   "Sister, I'll listen to you, I'll go out and make amends."

  Si Yueniang went out with the corners of her lips curled up.

  Qiu Sheng shook his head lightly, but didn't say anything.

  Mingyue's nature is simple, and there is no evidence at the moment. He also hopes that she is innocent, otherwise Mingyue will be hurt again.

  …

   After a while, Mama Liu and her party came back.

   This time, following Si Yueniang's parents and an elder brother, the whole family looked a little ugly.

  They felt that the Zhuangyuan Mansion was too deceitful, and they couldn't talk about it tomorrow. They insisted on coming to arrest people again and again in the middle of the night, and Yueniang was still a girl in the boudoir, so they simply didn't take them seriously.

   "Master Wang is here, I would like to know what crime my Yueniang committed, and asked you to come and arrest her again and again!"

  The potbellied Si Jianren shouted unceremoniously.

  Wang Qiusheng is just a small number one scholar. If he hadn't been supported by his elder brother, how could he have risen to the top! Now that they are promising, how dare they look down on their family, it is simply ungrateful!

  Wang Zhuangzhi and Meng Jun heard the movement, and they came over.

   "Master Si."

  Wang Zhuangzhi nodded politely to greet people, but Meng Jun didn't speak, and followed his father-in-law indifferently with a clear and handsome face.

  Si Jianren frowned, and asked in a somewhat blunt tone: "It's Mr. Wang, I have something to do with Qiusheng, are the couple here?"

  He came from a famous family, and how can he explain it to a countryman?

  Wang Zhuangzhi heard the arrogance in his words, frowned and said: "Qiu Sheng is accompanying Mingyue at the moment, Master Si feels that he can't explain clearly to me, so come back tomorrow."

Si Jianren's eyes showed dissatisfaction, and the second wife of the Si family on the side cried and said: "How dare you let me go back, my Yueniang was brought by you in the middle of the night to ask, how can we sleep as parents? There must be an explanation!"

  Young master of the Si family is a big fat man. Seeing his mother crying, he stepped forward angrily and pushed Wang Zhuangzhi, "What are you - let my sister out!"

  Wang Zhuangzhi raised his hand to block, pushed the person away, and scolded with an ugly face: "I'm giving you shame, I really think that anyone in our family can act wild!"

"you,"

Meng Jun stopped Si Jianren with a cold face, and said bluntly, holding the hilt of his sword: "Master Si, pay attention to your attitude! Why are you annoyed? If you say you are annoyed, it is also the anger of our family. The young lady of the family almost fell into the stomach." Si Yueniang's suspicion is serious, so naturally she has to ask clearly."

  After hearing this, the Second Madam Si retorted weepingly: "You are talking nonsense! My Yueniang dare not even step on an ant to death, how could she hurt her sister!"

  Shuang'er heard these words, leaned against Mama Liu weakly, and said with red eyes: "My lady is cruel and merciless, she knows people and faces but doesn't know her heart. If it wasn't for the young lady who had a guilty conscience and murdered her, how could she lock me up in the woodshed and prepare to sell her!"

   "You, what nonsense you bastard!"

  Second Madam Si rushed forward and was about to beat someone. Liu Ma hurriedly shouted: "Second Madam! The accident happened to my young lady. If my master and wife want to know, I will never forgive the culprit!"

  Second Madam Si stopped her palm in the air, bit her lip and put it down.

  Besides, Si Jianren couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he thought of the methods of his eldest brother and sister-in-law. He coughed lightly and said, "I'm sure there may be some misunderstanding here, and we can't just listen to the maid's one-sided words."

  Meng Jun looked serious, and said in a cold voice: "Then go to the front hall, the two families sat down and settled the matter."

  Si Jianren and Mrs. Si did not believe that their daughter would be like that, so they agreed.

   A group of people went to the front hall.

  —

   And here, Jiaojiao saw Miao Miao come back, and heard Miao Miao said that Shuang Er was locked up in the firewood room for sale, so she knew that this must have something to do with Si Yueniang.

  Mother Liu just came to report that Shuang'er had brought her back.

  The three of Liu Zhihua went to the front hall first, Si Yueniang heard that her parents had arrived, and hurried out out of joy.

  Qiu Sheng arranged for Mingyue to rest, but did not tell her these things, and let Liu Ma watch over him, and he got up and left.

  …

   Front lobby,

  When Qiusheng came, the housekeeper had already brought the soap bean box used by the young lady.

Si Yueniang looked at the familiar box, not daring to breathe, she hid beside her and cursed guiltily: "Shuang'er! I just scolded you a few words on the way, and you are going to frame me, you girl, maybe Whoever ordered you to frame my sister, you will plant your name on me!"

  When Shuang'er heard what she said, she shed tears of anger, and raised her hand to swear: "What I said to be false, I will call the heavens to strike me with lightning!"

   Qiusheng glanced at the box, and asked the housekeeper to take it to the doctor for inspection.

  The doctor twirled his fingertips lightly, put it under his nose and smelled it, nodded and said: "It really smells like seed powder."

  The Si family immediately frowned, it turned out to be poison like Luozifen!

  Si Yueniang lowered her eyes with guilt, and now she can only insist that it is Shuang'er, otherwise her father will not forgive her, not to mention sister and husband.

Shuang'er was distraught when he heard that, kowtowed to the young master with red eyes, choked up and said: "Master, check it out! The servant saw what my lady sprinkled here with her own eyes. At that time, the lady explained that it was incense powder. The servant didn't think much at first. .”

"But following her back home, she inexplicably locked the servant into the firewood room. The servant was still listening to the young lady's order to the steward to find Ren Yazi tomorrow morning, and planned to sell the servant. Luckily, Liu Ma and the others came in time, and the servant picked it up. One life."

Shuang'er wiped away her tears, and continued: "I heard Liu Ma said that the young madam has fallen for the daughter, and the maidservant recalled this, it must have been done by the young lady, otherwise, why should the slaveservant be put to death, must have done something bad! "

  Si Yueniang immediately retorted: "You're spitting blood! It's you, I'm sure you were ordered by someone, don't frame me here, how could I hurt my sister!"

Shuang'er was crying so hard that she shouted recklessly: "You are the one who spouts blood! The young lady treats you so well, how could you be so cruel and cruel? She still misses Miss Fourth's fiancé. Slave, you are so inconsistent, it is simply too scary..."

   "You lowly maidservant!"

   "Moon Mother!"

  Second Madam Si stopped her daughter, Si Yueniang stared at her, how dare this lowly servant girl say such things about her.

  After hearing these words, Qiu Sheng clenched his fists and threw the teacup on the table to the ground.

boom!

  Everyone was taken aback.

   "Si Yueniang! You were responsible for the child powder incident?"

  Qiu Sheng's questioning voice was extremely cold.

  Si Yueniang was so frightened that she lost her mind a long time ago, clutching her mother's arm tightly, stammering, "Brother-in-law, it's not me."

   "Well, you are shameless, do you still have a sense of shame at such a young age! You still dare to think about my delicate person, what a face you have!" Liu Zhihua slapped the table and got up and cursed.

  Master Si frowned when he heard these words, "Old lady of the Wang family, it's just this girl's one-sided words, how can you be so obscene and swearing at others."

"Hey, you don't know who my Jiaojiao's fiancé-in-law is, right? It's Rong Yan, our national teacher of the Great Jin Dynasty. My future son-in-law can't be found in the world. The second is so good-looking, and he is considerate and careful to my Jiaojiao. , maybe your daughter's eyes are red, and she has a dirty heart!" Liu Zhihua said, staring at him with her hands on her hips.

  Si Jianren was shocked when he heard this, and said with trembling lips: "How is it possible..."

  Si Yueniang's expression was shocked, Madam Si and other people who did not know Rong Yan's identity were all shocked. The name of Mr. Guoshi resounded throughout the Jin Dynasty, and naturally everyone knew it.

  Bao Ya got up and touched her mother's clothes, and said casually, "Mother, what are you talking about with them?"

   "Oh, Ah Yan is looking forward to marrying Jiaojiao, she will soon be our son-in-law, what can't be said!" Liu Zhihua said loudly with more and more pride.

  Seeing this, Jiaojiao coughed lightly, got up and reminded: "Mother, we haven't finished talking about sister-in-law yet."

Miaomiao in Jiaojiao's arms also hurriedly said: "Jiaojiao, it was her who did the bad thing. Benmiao saw her burn the clothes and crime tools in the backyard with my own eyes, but I kept my eyes open and caught a handful of them." The powder was sprinkled on her bed."

  Jiaojiao heard about Yile, and hurriedly said to her elder brother: "Brother, send someone to investigate where Si Yueniang has been and where she lives, and the truth will surely come to light."

   "No! I didn't do it, father and mother, it really wasn't Yueniang who did it..."

  Yueniang cried and went to fetch her parents. Master Si came back to his senses, then gave her a frightened look, and said in a low voice: "Look at you, you are worthless. If you don't do anything, you will be searched. If you clean up, you will be cleared."

  Si Yueniang had a hard time to describe, and she was sobbing and crying, not knowing how to explain it.

   "Mrs. Si, please go back. Miss Si stays here. I will hand it over to Dali Temple tomorrow. I will never wrong anyone for personal gain."

   After Qiu Sheng finished speaking indifferently, he ordered the housekeeper to take him down and keep him under strict supervision.

  Hearing about Dali Temple, Si Yueniang completely panicked. Her mind was full of images of torture, fire, and whipping. She hurriedly grabbed her father's clothes and looked at her with balled eyes.

  Si Jianren's heart turned cold when he saw this, it couldn't be that this girl did it!

  The housekeeper brought his maid over to fetch someone, and Si Jianren hurriedly stopped him and said, "Qiu Sheng, we are still a family anyway, so we just need to find out, what's going on that affects Dali Temple, isn't it a joke?"

   Qiusheng looked at the person with sharp eyes, and asked indifferently: "Is Mingyue's safety not worth mentioning in my uncle's opinion?"

  Si Jianren choked, "Qiu Sheng, uncle didn't mean that, but..."

   "Tomorrow morning, I will truthfully tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law. If my uncle doesn't want to be implicated, it's better to leave as soon as possible."

  Qiu Sheng’s words were fundamental, clearly telling them that this matter cannot be discussed, and if they interfered, they would be punished as severely as the murderer.

Si Jianren was already intimidated by the national teacher. Hearing that Qiu Sheng thought of his elder brother's violent temper, the elder brother and sister-in-law only had a daughter, Mingyue. I was quite frightened.

   He gritted his teeth and let go of his daughter's hand, and said to his wife, "Yueniang is here, let's go home first."

   "Father!" Si Yueniang screamed sharply.

  Second Madam Si embraced her daughter, looked at her husband in disbelief, and cried, "Yue Niang is our daughter! How can you be so cruel?"

   "Dad,"

"To shut up!"

  Si Jianren glared at his son, then winked at the servants, and ordered: "Take both Madam and Young Master home."

"Ah, no…"

   "Father! You can't ignore Yueniang! Yueniang was wrong, it was because Yueniang was fascinated by ghosts for a while, and Yueniang will never dare again..."

  Si Yueniang admitted abruptly, Qiu Sheng got up without saying a word, kicked him to the ground, and shouted angrily with scarlet eyes: "How dare you!"

   "Moon Mother!"

  Si Jianren gritted his teeth and dragged his wife away, while the servants dragged the young master and his party away.

  Si Yueniang lay on the ground and looked at the door, laughing out of despair.

"How dare I? I didn't complain about that idiot Si Mingyue. Her boring parents sent me here to relieve her boredom. She also pretended to be deeply in love with my sisters, showing off in front of me all day long. How much her parents-in-law and husband dote on her, she Why should I have what I want, but I can't get anything! The more she shows off, the more I want to get something!"

Snapped!

Baoya couldn't hold it back, raised her hand and slapped her, angrily said: "Don't make it so decent to say that you are restless and self-confident. When you are in the boudoir, you must first understand etiquette and shame. You have lost even the most basic sense of shame." , I still have the face to say jealous things here."

Si Yueniang covered her face, and shouted with a bewildered smile: "If you beat me to death, I can't change the fact. I've been pregnant with her for three years. During these three years, she couldn't conceive. Now even if she is pregnant, she can't." How, it is not certain whether she will be able to survive at that time, even if she is born, she will definitely be a sick child who is dying, she is proud that her husband spoils her alone, I want to see if you will always accept her!"
