Chapter 94 Confessions
"It's not the most important thing to tell the truth. The things in Siyi Pavilion were brought out by my mother. If people accidentally bumped them while doing business, it's understandable, but it's obvious that someone Special tricks, if this matter is exposed lightly, wouldn't the family be messed up in the future? Also, who will make up for the loss of the family? Could it be my mother?"
"It stands to reason that if the Jin Rui family really did it, even if the eldest girl killed her, she wouldn't be able to make up for it. She has no meat all over her body."
"What is Tang Mama talking about?" Qiu Mama smiled and said, "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. If it was really made by Jin Rui's family, the yamen will naturally have a judgment, and we can punish them as we please. Such a family, even if they are so poor that they can’t eat three meals a day, they should abide by the laws and regulations, whatever they do.”
"According to the "Dayong Law", if you deliberately destroy the property of the master's house, more than one tael and less than ten taels of silver, you will be sent to the frontier guard forever; if you are less than one hundred taels of silver, you will have a staff of one hundred, and you will be punished for three years; now, the total is More than 20,000 taels of silver should be hanged."
With a plop, Mammy Tang's eyes darkened and she fell to the ground.
Xiao's face was also pale and pale. She wanted to say that she would pay for it, but it was more than 20,000 taels of silver. This was all her savings, so she had to take it out?
"Miss, are you really planning to send Jin Rui's family to the yamen? It's about the inner house, wouldn't it be a joke?"
"Second Aunt, the Xie family certainly values face, but they can't tolerate traitors. Many aristocratic families care about face, and they dare not expose it, so they have to hide it, so that those young people can take advantage of it, and let the virtuous Swallow your breath."
After a long time, Mammy Tang woke up slowly. Luckily, lichen was spread on the ground, and the fall was not too hard, which spared her old bones.
Coming out of Yizhaoyuan, Tang Nanny helped Mrs. Xiao to walk on the corridor full of tree shadows. After walking for a while, there was no sound of people around, so Tang Nanny couldn't help but said, "Madam, this matter has to be discussed with the old lady." Say something, madam?"
Xiao's is already very confused. For a while, he thinks that this matter has nothing to do with the old lady, and for a while he regrets it to death. He should not have hooked up with the old lady. What should I do?
Ms. Xiao fell ill when she returned home, the kind who really couldn’t get out of bed.
Xiao walked forward, and Xie Zhiwei held a confession in her back foot. She scanned it at a glance, and when she saw the blood-red handprint at the end, she asked without any surprise, "She has recruited?"
Mother Qiu nodded respectfully, "I've recruited them all. She said that the second wife ordered them to go down and pick out a few things that could be broken. And those chrysanthemums were thought to be worthless, so they were smashed together, anyway, those tall benches and the like can be repaired if they are broken, and there is no mercy if you buy them."
Xie Zhiwei sat at the table, tapped her fingers lightly on the table, she was wondering how to end this matter?
"Everyone is tied up? Are the two wives under control?"
"Everything is well arranged. Our people are watching, and they are in the woodshed. Only this matter, is it to alarm the old man or how to deal with it?"
"Turn on the lantern, follow me to the old man's study, and say that I have something important to report to the old man." Xie Zhiwei got up, this matter should be dealt with quickly.
Although he had been busy all day today, after seeing off the guests, everyone was very excited and couldn't fall asleep for a while, so the old man left three sons and grandson to talk in Qijianzhai, when he heard Shen Shuang come in and say, "Miss Here we come," the old man was quite surprised, and hurriedly said, "Please come in!"
Xie Zhiwei walked in hurriedly, and after saluting with blessings, Brother Cheng hurriedly saluted Xie Zhiwei and said "Hello, big sister". After that, the siblings sat down.
"It's so late, why are you still here? What can't be said tomorrow?" The old man asked with concern. The old man is very satisfied with this granddaughter. How many compliments did the guests say before leaving today?
The old man looked at his eldest granddaughter at this time, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart. If this child were a man, now he would die as long as he was afraid of death, so he wouldn't be worried about Xie's family.
"Grandfather, my granddaughter is going to disturb my grandfather's comfort today. Second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle, please sit down. Brother Cheng, I have something important to talk to grandfather. It's getting late, so you should go back early to rest. , I have to go to school tomorrow."
Xie Mingcheng got up quickly, glanced at his grandfather, saw his grandfather nodded slightly, and then left.
Shen Shuang also went out, and when she turned around and closed the door, she heard Xie Zhiwei's voice saying, "It's about a family scandal", she almost pinched her hand with a tremor.
In the courtyard of Qijianzhai, Xie Mingcheng looked at the closed door of the study with a sad face. He was not stupid. If the matter was about the eldest aunt, the eldest sister would definitely tell the grandfather in private. It can be seen that it is not about the long house, so then It must be the second and third bedroom, my mother or third aunt.
It was late at night and the dew was heavy, and he couldn't decide anything. Xie Mingcheng stood for a while, and had to turn around and leave. He was also a little tired recently.
Besides, their grandfather has never allowed them to care about things in the backyard. Even if it is about mother, there are grandparents on top, and there is father in the middle. Able to contribute to the family and have the ability to make a living for the people.
In the study, Xie Zhiwei took out the confession from her cuff, and she gave it to her grandfather with both hands, and told what happened.
"The granddaughter thought that the person who did this would definitely pay attention to Siyi Pavilion's movements from time to time, so she arranged for people to watch secretly, and at the same time said something. There were two pairs of plum vases from the previous dynasty handed down by the ancestors. Both are worth thousands of dollars, and now they have been ruined. After the celebration banquet is over, people from Shuntian Mansion must be invited to help find the murderer. Last night, the person who committed the crime must be the one who thought today is On the big day, I am afraid that not many people in the family paid attention to the Siyi Pavilion, so that person sneaked in and swept away the debris, and was caught by the granddaughter's men."
At this moment, Xie Tiao had already finished reading the confession while listening to it. He took a deep look at the second child and passed the confession over.
At this time, several people in the study roughly understood what was going on. The third child and the fourth child were just listening in. They were sitting and drinking tea, but the second child first glanced at the lowermost donor, and suddenly turned his face. He became so angry that he slapped the confession on the table and stood up abruptly.
"what are you going to do?"
"I, son, my son is going to divorce this wicked woman." The second child has always been a person who can't rub a little sand in his eyes. Xiao has also done his duty these years, and he just turns a blind eye to some things and passes them by. Now that the eldest brother is not at home, Xiao's family has this happy event, not only does not help, but instead does such stupid things that are not as good as pigs and dogs.
