When Yu Ying stood in front of the Feng family, their nearly stopped heart finally started beating again.
She wanted to take care of things, so she called for Xiu Guan and Chen Jiayi to be sent to the second room where You Shi was to look after them. Before Chen Jiayi left, she looked at Xiu Ying, wanting to say something, but hesitating. Finally, her wife squeezed her hand, and she left with Xiu Guan.
Mrs. Feng, who had fallen into the lake, was now forced to kneel down in front of everyone like a drowned chicken. She was infuriated, and in her haste, she kicked him off the pavilion.
Everyone's breath caught in their throat when they saw that the matriarch, who usually maintained a dignified demeanor, actually made a move.
Feng Family's side said sternly: "Speak! Who was the one who instructed you to harm a girl! If you are unable to say anything, I will hand you and your family over to the yamen and have them come to interrogate you! "
No matter how infuriated the Feng family was, their consciousness was still abnormally clear.
In this dynasty, there is a law. Without evidence, even the master cannot use punishment against a servant in private. Madam Feng knew that this old woman would definitely quibble and not reveal her identity, which was why she was questioning him so forcefully.
"Mother." Hearing this, Xiu Ying replied, "You don't need to send the government to kill her."
As she spoke, she turned around. The back of her clothes was wrinkled and pulled, as if they had been scraped by something.
After the little girl said this to Lady Feng, she gloomily stared at the old woman who was screaming in pain, "Her nails must have been cut. She only scratched her clothes when she was pushing her daughter. You can tell by looking at her hands."
At the time of the incident, she was about to touch the lotus flower when she felt someone push her. Fortunately, she reacted quickly by hugging the boat, and then a heart-wrenching pain came from her back. She struggled in pain and was about to let go of the boat again.
Her clothes had been ripped, and she had most likely torn her nails just like that when she had pinched her wife.
As expected, he saw traces of new broken nails on the index finger of his right hand.
When the old woman saw this, her face became even paler. Just as Madam Feng was about to ask if she could continue, she suddenly broke free and bumped head first into a pillar of the octagonal tower.
That sort of decisiveness was also extremely tragic.
Madam Feng's hands were quick. She held Xiu Ying in her arms and covered her eyes, preventing her from seeing the bloody scene.
The others were so scared that their legs turned to jelly and they sat down.
Standing behind the mother and daughter, Zhi-er looked at the old woman lying in a pool of blood as she probed for her pulse with a wooden face. Her body violently twitched a few times before she released her hand with a sigh and reported to Madam Feng, "Madam, it won't do."
Madam Feng was both angry and shocked.
She had never expected that this woman would seek death so quickly.
It seemed like Aunt Cui had gotten some hold of this old woman.
If someone died, she wouldn't feel pity. Anyone who wanted to harm her daughter would die. But there was no proof. This made her even angrier.
Aunt Cui was trying to provoke her, to demonstrate her strength!
An aunt, even if she was supposed to be the main wife because she became the concubine, but the culprit is that man surnamed Shen! She had pitied Aunt Cui, so she didn't care about everything. Who would have thought that she would be exchanged for something else? Only Aunt Cui kept pressing on!
Aunt Cui had planned one ring after another today. First, she had let the old woman hide in the second chamber to harm Xiu Ying in the middle of the lake, then she had made Suixue come over. Even if she didn't do anything, if Suixue fell into the water and her wife's accident occurred, Suixue would definitely be implicated. The old woman would bite her.
It was because that old woman had never experienced anything and would continue to live on!
If this plan succeeded, then Xiu Ying would be killed, and Suixue would be implicated as well.
If this plan failed, they would die the same way as they were doing now. It was a blatant provocation, a warning. Even if she, Madam Feng, was in charge, she, Aunt Cui, would still be able to scheme against them. Even if he didn't leave his house!
This time, Lady Feng was truly angered to the point of trembling. She now had a deeper understanding of Aunt Cui's vicious nature.
Xiu Ying was still in her embrace and could feel her anger and fear. If something were to happen to her, her mother would probably collapse.
At the side, Suixue, who had witnessed the situation, was also frightened. Her vision turned black.
She was extremely lucky to be able to get past this calamity. She couldn't believe what she would have to face if she had fallen into the lake.
Madam Feng had not let go of Xiu Ying, but in her fury, she had calmed down. She looked at Susu and instructed her, "Go to the back and clean up a small yard. Soo Xue will be carrying the concubine today. Then, inform the Master that a table will be set for tonight in the Pure Snow Courtyard."
Suxue was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then, with tears filling her eyes, she knelt down and kowtowed three times towards the Feng Clan.
The Feng family was giving her a way out.
After the Feng Family had given their orders, they covered Xiu Ying's eyes in a way that prevented her from seeing the blood that had yet to be cleaned, and slowly led her down the stairs. They went to the Yonge Courtyard.
In Mrs. You's room, all her children were together, talking to Chen Jiayi. In Chen Jiayi's mind, she could only see the scene of Xiu Ying being pushed around. She could not stop laughing.
When the servants came to report Madam Feng's arrival, she was so excited that she immediately stood up, causing everyone to cast sidelong glances at her as her face flushed red. Fortunately, everyone's attention was quickly attracted by the mother and daughter pair. The Shen siblings surrounded Xiu Ying and pulled her to the side, continuing their banter.
Xiu Ying had been through a lot of scheming, so she was very angry, but she didn't show it on her face. It was also because of Shen Lian who was always in front of her in her previous life, and now that others had harmed her life, she could still treat them calmly.
Chen Jiayi was observing Xiu Ying from time to time. Seeing that her expression was calm and she was still smiling while eating the melon seeds, the huge rock in her heart finally dropped.
The two sister-in-law had let the girl take care of the crowd, hiding in the back room to talk.
"Why did I hear about a woman who captured our house?" she asked.
"That old woman is Aunt Cui's man. She wanted to push him into the water, but now she is afraid of the consequences."
Madam Feng's words were simple, yet they were filled with shock and fear. With a trembling voice, she said, "How could she dare?!"
"Why wouldn't she dare? No matter how big of a mistake the mother and daughter pair has committed, it is only to ban their entry, why would they not dare?! "
Madam Feng's words reminded Madam You of her daughter being pushed into the water by Shen Lian. The hatred she felt for Aunt Cui and her daughter also surged. She gritted her teeth and said, "She sure is capable. She even had people stationed in my yard!"
"If she dares to act so arrogantly, there will naturally be more. Be careful on your side." You should at least inform second uncle about this matter. You should know what Shen Hong is like, and since I don't have any evidence to prove it, I won't say a single word. "
"Then this tone …"
Madam You could hear the resentment in her voice and felt sympathy for her. With such an eccentric husband and an even more eccentric mother-in-law, the Feng family's situation could be easily determined just by thinking about it.
When Lady Feng heard this, she gave a cold laugh, "I'm not the one who will swallow her anger." Naturally, there was a way to make her regret it.
