Xu Mingwei followed beside Fu Heng, her hands still holding onto the scented wood beads, and following the miserable cries below, her hands moved even faster, and her face became even paler.
Seeing that she seemed to be unable to bear it, Fu Heng refused to let Xu Mingwei turn her face to her and gently said, "You are just too kind. This kind of girl who doesn't have any manners, what reason is there to wait for me to come back? It's not like you can do anything wrong, it's all their fault. Having done such a shameless thing, even if you were in front of your mother, there's no reason to blame you. There's still a long period of time before I'm not at home. You're so cautious and soft-hearted, how can you be at ease with me? "
Hearing that, Xu Mingwei looked up at him and said softly, "So it was my fault. She shouldn't have disturbed his husband with such a small matter. However, since these two sisters have served my husband for many years and since Mother specifically gave them to me, I do not dare to punish them myself.
Fu Heng rubbed her hair, satisfied, and laughed: "I know what you're thinking, so I appreciate your kindness. I also know that you've just passed the door, and I want you to be able to pinch the door with your bare hands. "In the future, you can take care of small matters like these yourself. If you encounter any difficulties, I will be there to look after them for you."
Xu Mingwei raised her head and pretended to look at Fu Heng gratefully, but she was laughing coldly in her heart.
A small matter? Not necessarily. Just like how Fu Heng said that she was such a kind person.
Today's matter was not that simple. Although Lv Zhu and Hong Zhu weren't very smart, they weren't stupid either. Using their toes to think, they could tell that there were only two results when they forcefully broke into the courtyard today. Firstly, Xu Mingwei was cowardly, and was truly held tightly by them, and secondly, Xu Mingwei chose not to bear it.
First, let's talk about the former. This was like a battle between two armies. When they fought, Xu Mingwei would lose her breath and be at a disadvantage, but thinking of this in the future would be difficult. Lv Zhu and Hong Zhu would definitely benefit from this, but the thing that they were most concerned about, the thing that was impossible for them to achieve before Xu Mingwei could give birth to a child. Even if Xu Mingwei was willing, Wang Shi wouldn't be willing, otherwise, Fu Heng wouldn't have waited so many years for her in vain. On this point, no one from the Fu family was involved, but Xu Mingwei did not believe that a green plum could have such eloquence, that it could even make Lv Zhu and Hong Zhu feel threatened.
The last one. If Xu Mingwei did not use such a method today, and if she used the main wife to deal with Lv Zhu, no one would be able to say that she was wrong, and no one would be able to say that she was right. With the incident in her yard, who could really say what the situation was like? No matter how much proof there was, it would only leave an unshakable impression in Lady Wang's heart. Xu Mingwei saw the person from the Wang clan very clearly. Normally, no matter how good their relationship was, if something happened, they would turn hostile. For a girl like Lv Zhu, she would easily be beaten to death, and Wang Shi wouldn't even frown for a second. But if Xu Mingwei smacked her in the face, she would probably resent Xu Mingwei for dismissing her as a mother.
That was why she left some people to deal with Fu Heng. It was all Fu Heng's decision to sell it or beat it, which was not going to be part of Xu Mingwei's plan in the end. Therefore, no matter what ulterior motive Qing Mei had in mind, she was going to be disappointed.
The ten sticks were soon finished. The expert reported to Fu Heng, then turned around to pack up his stuff, wanting to rush back into the treasury. After the people in the courtyard finished watching, they all left. The crowd dispersed, and only Lv Zhu's servants were hiding at the back of the walkway, looking at each other. They were obstructing her master's path, and did not dare come forward to be affected for no reason.
Monkeys dispersed from the tree.
Xu Mingwei suddenly thought of something. She coldly looked at the two people on the roof who had been beaten into a bloody mess. Was there a lack of servants who would show goodwill to them in the past? However, no one dared to come forward to help with the cooking. Even if it was just covering clothes …
She raised her head and said to Fu Heng, "Since you have endured everything, don't tell others about us. Let the little girl in their room carry someone back, otherwise they might get sick, so it wouldn't be good for them to sell it. "
Fu Heng replied, "Since that's the case, I will listen to you. "Men, take these two reckless fools back to the courtyard. Let your wife keep an eye on them. Don't let anything good happen before the sale begins tomorrow."
Only then did the girls who were hiding underground dare to come over and call for someone to stop the bleeding. When they had carried it away, the granny dusted the stones and poured water into the ground. The pebbles looked as if they had been washed away by the rain, clean and pleasant. No one could tell that just a moment ago, there was blood and flesh here, soaked in hot tears.
Xu Mingwei was stunned by the woman's actions. It was only when Fu Heng held her hand that she realized he had called out to her several times.
Fu Heng thought that she had been scared, and said apologetically, "It's my fault, to think that I didn't understand you. "Don't be afraid, it's just a little lesson, there won't be any loss of life."
Xu Mingwei nodded blankly, but when she saw Fu Heng's eyes, she felt even more pained. She hugged his and comforted her gently for a while.
This night was an extremely long night for many members of the Fu family.
Lv Zhu and Hong Zhu were all dizzy when they were carried back to the courtyard. In a daze until the latter half of the night, the two of them began to talk nonsense, one after the other. Because of Fu Heng's words, the wives did not dare to just let it go. Ye Zichen grabbed two sets of the medicine the servants usually took, then ate them half-fed and half-forced the two of them to drink. As he sweated, he even said that it might even be fine.
The wives busied themselves all night long, all of them loosening up and falling asleep after scrubbing their heads. Unexpectedly, he woke up early and went to the room to look for Lv Zhu and Hong Zhu. However, he had already lost his breath, and his body was completely cold. She was so frightened that the old woman let out a shriek. Her two legs trembled like sieve chaff. One of them couldn't stand it any longer and fell to the ground. Not long after, she attracted a room full of people.
"I killed him, I killed him!" The woman in the lead was so scared that she lost her mind and kept shouting.
Madam Wang was the first to arrive, and upon hearing the wife's shouts, she frowned and glanced at her trusted Nanny Xue. The Nanny Xue then pulled Old Lady Wu and began to prop up the people who were messing around. After a few slaps on their ears, the room finally became silent.
Née Wang only heard a general idea of the situation in Fu Heng's courtyard last night. But when he heard that Lv Zhu and Hong Zhu had really turned out to be unreasonable, his son did not like the two of them in the first place. He didn't expect that someone would come to report his loss so early in the morning. What bad luck! If she didn't know that it was Fu Heng who had them do it last night, and only hit ten times, Lady Wang would have suspected that it was Xu Mingwei's handiwork.
"None of the people in the house are allowed to leave. You went and invited Dr. Wu over to take a look at what exactly is going on. " Lady Wang told Nanny Xue and Lady Wu, then instructed the head maid, Yin Ping, "Go and see if Eldest Young Master and Eldest Young Lady are up yet. Call everyone over."
The three of them accepted the order and left.
When the silver screen entered the Heart of Ning Garden, Fu Heng and Xu Mingwei had already woken up and were having breakfast in the side hall. Hearing the reason why she came here, Xu Mingwei was about to follow her. Fu Heng pulled her and said, "The people on the left and right have all disappeared, so there's no need to rush. With mother and the others watching, nothing can go wrong. "Let's drink this lotus seed soup first. I'm afraid that there might be more to do today."
Xu Mingwei saw that his insistence was just as good as her idea. She acted like she couldn't see the burnt color on Silverscreen's face and sat down again, steadily holding the bowl and drinking the soup.
However, she couldn't stop Fu Heng from urging her. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to stop. When he reached the end, even the Dr. Wu had already arrived. He had already seen the illness of Lv Zhu and the other two and was fiddling with the medicinal dregs left behind by last night.
When Lady Wang saw that Fu Heng and Xu Mingwei had arrived, she did not open her mouth to speak to them, but only stared at the Dr. Wu's movements, as if she also recognized those medicinal dregs.
Seeing Dr. Wu frowning and not saying a word, Lady Wang gradually lost her patience and asked, "Is there anything wrong with that?"
Dr. Wu shook his head and sighed, "It's because there's nothing wrong with it that this old man couldn't understand it."
After entering the room for a while, Fu Heng had already seen the two dead bodies on the bed, so he was puzzled. "A mere ten boards, it's not like they hurt their roots in the cold, it's not even an accident if they don't die, the two are gone at the same time, there's no trick involved? "There's no way this can be justified …"
Dr. Wu thought so too. He had looked carefully at the wounds on the two staves on the two stalls and knew that they had used medicine to stop the bleeding. It was normal for the two of them to catch a fire in the middle of the night. However, the medicine recipe that the wife fried also had no problem at all, but the living person just disappeared like that. It didn't make sense, nor did it make sense.
"This old man has a bad eye and can't see anything wrong with it. Madam, do you want to report this matter to Master so that we can find a coroner who is familiar with him?" Dr. Wu hesitated for a moment, and tried to test the waters.
Lady Wang lightly shot him a glance and said, "It's something slightly bigger than sesame seeds, so there's no need to bother the old master. These two girls, Fu Bao, can't take it anymore.
This meant that he was going to leave it at that.
Dr. Wu nodded his head, and said, "Madam is right, then this old man will take my leave first, I will give you a safe recipe later."
With her chin facing Nanny Xue, she let her send him out, and when she turned around, she asked Fu Heng about what had happened last night.
