Chapter 615 Cross-examination of Mrs. Wang

  The West Mansion of Li’s family is small, and the Yahe Garden, where the big house lives, and the Jinrong Garden, where the second room lives, are almost next to each other.

   Li Guangshu should have made arrangements after the first month, but just in time for Jiang Tang's death, the senior officials of the Ministry of Personnel did not dare to show their faces in front of Emperor Kang of the Ming Dynasty, and this matter was suppressed.

  Li Guangshu was impatient, he ran outside all day, and didn't enter the house until it was dark.

   This is convenient for Liu's actions.

  The dragon in the warm pavilion in the main courtyard of Jinrong Court was withdrawn. Because there were no windows, the airtight interior was dimly lit and warm.

   Mrs. Wang walked in with her head lowered, the smell of medicine in the house made her unconsciously slow down, and her expression gradually became a little hesitant.

   She was too familiar with this medicinal smell, and it was the same smell that pervaded her house all the year round.

   "Cough cough—" A cough came.

   Mrs. Wang raised her eyes subconsciously, and saw the second wife, Mrs. Liu, lying on the kang with a sallow complexion, her forehead wrapped around her head, and her scattered hair looking messy.

   Mrs. Wang was taken aback.

   In the past, this second lady was smart and capable in their impression, much stronger than the eldest lady in Yaheyuan, how could it be like this in a blink of an eye?

   "I have seen the second wife." Mrs. Wang suppressed her anxiety and bowed.

   "Sit down." Liu said weakly.

   Mrs. Wang glanced at Xiao Zizi with a cramped expression.

   "Don't be nervous, I asked Mama Wang to come over and ask casually, cough cough cough—"

   When Mrs. Liu coughed, Mrs. Wang felt heartbroken, which made her think of the sound of sleeping companions in countless nights.

   "Mother Wang, you have been serving Aunt Bing for a while, can you tell me what that Auntie likes to do on weekdays?"

   "Aunt Bing likes to read books on weekdays, and sometimes plays the piano..."

"So, reading and playing the piano, no wonder the master is willing to go. It's not like me here, where I am busy with things outside the home all day long, I have to take care of the master's daily life, and I have to worry about the children's situation..." Liu Shi couldn't go on and took Pazi covered his mouth and coughed violently.

   "Second wife—" Madam Wang grabbed the corner of her clothes with her hands and was at a loss.

  Liu took off the veil, and Madam Wang saw a tinge of red in her eyes.

   She was so familiar with what it meant that she turned pale.

   Gentle footsteps came, and Mrs. Wang turned her head subconsciously, and saw a girl with double buns coming with a medicine bowl.

   The girl lowered her brows and eyes, and the expression on her face could not be seen in the dim light. Perhaps this was the case, which made Madam Wang try her best to open her eyes and look at it.

  Why didn't she recognize which girl this was for a while?

   seems to be the fourth girl, and it seems to be the third girl.

  The girl walked past Madam Wang, and the strong smell of medicine penetrated Madam Wang's nostrils.

   Mrs. Wang smelled the smell and felt more familiar.

   The girl's soft voice sounded: "You drink the medicine, there is ginseng in it, it is the most effective for your current illness..."

   Mrs. Wang listened in a daze, her heart seemed to skip a beat.

   At this moment, the girl suddenly turned to look at her, her lacquer-like eyes rippling like a secluded pool, as if it could attract the soul of a person.

   "People who are sick in bed all the year round are weak, just like this oil lamp, the oil gradually boils down, the fire gradually becomes smaller, and the day it will go out..."

Only then did Mrs. Wang notice that there was an oil lamp not far from her, and it was with this oil lamp that the dark room became dim.

   As she watched, the light of the oil lamp jumped.

   Mrs. Wang's eyes gradually became dull.

   Mrs Liu watched with cold eyes and opened her mouth in surprise, but did not dare to make a sound to disturb Madam Wang and Qiao Zhao.

  Qiao Zhao suddenly glanced at Liu.

   Liu shi kept in mind Qiao Zhao's advice, and coughed.

   She coughed very lightly, as if she was trying to suppress it. Not only did she not wake up Madam Wang, but her expression became even more dazed.

   "If the lamp oil needs to be boiled dry, you need to add lamp oil. The same is true for the sick and weak. If you can eat ginseng for a period of time at this time, your vitality can be replenished a lot. Mother Wang, are you right?"

   Mrs. Wang nodded, her voice flat and unwavering: "Yes."

   "Where did the ginseng come from?" The girl asked in a softer voice, with deep concern.

   "Yeah, where did you come from?" Mrs Wang repeated.

   "It can only be bought with money."

   Mrs. Wang nodded: "Yes, you need to buy it with money."

   "But you're just a servant girl. The men in the family take medicine all the year round, so how can there be any spare money to buy ginseng?"

   "No money left, no money left..." Madam Wang's face showed anxiety.

   "Then tell me, who gave you the money to buy ginseng?" The girl asked casually.

   "Yes..." A trace of struggle flashed across Mrs. Wang's face.

  Liu didn't dare to come out, and grabbed the hem of the clothes with both hands.

   "Who is it?" The girl was not in a hurry and still asked softly.

   "It's the second master!" Madam Wang said in one breath.

With a bang, Mr. Liu knocked over the medicine bowl.

   The concoction was spilled all over the ground, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance, while Madam Wang woke up instantly, her eyes were dazed and she regained clarity.

  Qiao Zhao sighed in his heart.

  Although she told Second Aunt not to make disturbing noises, uncontrollable accidents still happen.

   For the second aunt, even if she had all kinds of doubts about Bingniang's pregnancy, she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart. When she heard the second uncle's participation, how could she be indifferent.

   "Three girls—" Liu Shi looked annoyed.

  Qiao Zhao nodded to her to reassure her, then turned to look at Mrs. Wang, and said coldly, "Mother Wang, just now you said that the money for buying ginseng was given by the second master, why did he give you the money?"

   "I, did I say it?" Madam Wang looked suspicious.

  Qiao Zhao raised his chin slightly and said in a cold tone, "Second Master gave you the money to buy ginseng to make you turn a blind eye to Aunt Bing's not drinking Bizi Tang, right?"

   Mrs. Wang took a step back and hurriedly denied: "No, no—"

"You just admitted it, the second wife heard it with her own ears!" Qiao Zhao pointed at Liu Shi, "Mama Wang, look carefully, what is the second wife like now? You only want to use ginseng to restore your man's body, but you don't. Do you think that doing such a betrayal will hurt others?"

   "I—" Madam Wang glanced at Mrs. Liu, her eyes flickering.

  Qiao Zhao didn't give her a chance to breathe, and continued: "Accumulation of virtue and good deeds will bring good fortune, Mama Wang, if you do this, you will repay the people you care about—"

"I said, I said!" Madam Wang interrupted Qiao Zhao's words in panic, slumped on the ground to cover her face and cried bitterly, "The money is indeed given by the second master, so that we can cover up the matter of not drinking Bizi soup for Aunt Bing. "Second madam, you can punish the old slave any way you want, but don't drive the old slave out, the old slave is still counting on the monthly money to buy medicine for the person at home..."

   Hearing Madam Wang's confession, Liu Shi was severely relieved, and after sending Madam Wang away, she stroked her heart and said in fear, "It almost failed, scared me to death."

   Seeing Qiao Zhao's calm expression, Liu Shi grabbed her hand: "Three girls, what the **** is going on here?"

   It is said that the effect of hypnosis is better with tickets, so please help Zhaozhao.
