Chapter 570: Who Is More Appropriate to Blame?

Aunt Sheng hurriedly came over and stretched out her hand to support Mrs. Xingguo, and helped her breathe behind her back. It took a while for Mrs. Xingguo to regain her composure.

"Look, he doesn't care about anything but throws everything on my head. If it's that woman..."

"Madam!" Aunt Sheng raised her voice in a panic, looking towards the open door unconsciously.

The door was wide open, and you could see two rows of maids and women standing in the yard. Although they were all respectful, the voice of Mrs. Xingguo just now was uncontrollably amplified.

"Let them all go down and keep their mouths shut, otherwise..." Mrs. Xingguo also woke up at this time, and swept her stern eyes over the servants in the yard. They were actually a bit far away, so it was impossible for them to hear them. What.

There are really a lot of people in the yard, otherwise they would just silence them and find a reason to beat them to death.

Seeing the terrifying look in Mrs. Xingguo's eyes, a flash of panic flashed in Nanny Sheng's eyes. She hurried to the door and said to the two rows of servants outside the yard: "Go down and be tight-lipped. If you dare to say anything nonsense..."

"I don't dare!" the maids and wives said hurriedly.

"Everyone get down!" Grandma Sheng waved her hand.

The maids and mothers-in-law understood and stayed far away from the main house. No matter what they did, they could not come near the main house.

After looking around and seeing no conspicuous people around, Grandma Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. After entering, she closed the door and then came to Mrs. In fact, it’s just crazy...it doesn’t really bother you, madam.”

"Are you crazy? A crazy woman is more important than me, and I don't know what she is thinking!" Not only did these words fail to persuade Mrs. Xingguo, but she even turned green with anger.

She was a good wife for him at home and helped him solve all kinds of troubles. Fortunately, he didn't take her to heart from the beginning to the end. This made Mrs. Xingguo, who always felt that she was a winner, almost uncontrollably want to Everything in the house was smashed.

All the big and small things in Duke Xingguo's mansion were blamed on him. If something went wrong, it would be his own fault. Did he ever put his thoughts on Duke Xingguo's mansion?

"Madam, let's talk about this to the Madam now. This matter is such a big deal, the Madam must have her own regulations! We can't let the eldest lady get a bad reputation!" Aunt Sheng took a look. Mrs. Xingguo couldn't control herself and hurriedly changed the subject and left the matter to Mrs. Tai.

These words touched the heart of Mrs. Xingguo. She did not want to implicate her daughter. Her pair of children were her most precious and would be the most noble ones in the house in the future. She could not slack off at all: "Let's go find her! "

Mrs. Xingguo stood up and said with a cold face.

She couldn't handle this matter, and she didn't want to. It wasn't her fault in the first place, so why could the mother and son let her handle it with peace of mind.

After a little bit of grooming, Mrs. Xingguo took Nanny Sheng to the Spring Hall Courtyard of Mrs. Tai.

"Madam!" Aunt Yu had just served the lady to finish the medicine. When she saw Mrs. Xingguo coming in, she immediately saluted her.

"Mother, how are you?" Mrs. Xingguo gave a forced smile to Aunt Yu, then walked to the bed and squatted in front of the wife and asked with concern.

The wife raised her eyes and found that Mrs. Xingguo's face was pale and her expression was ugly. Her clothes looked a bit messy, as if she had acted in a hurry.

There were still faint traces of tears in the corners of his eyes.

"But what happened?" asked the lady.

Aunt Yu frowned tightly and looked at Mrs. Xingguo with worry. Of course, what happened outside also spread to the Chun Tang Courtyard, but Aunt Yu was worried about Mrs. Tai’s health and didn’t let anyone tell her. But now Mrs. I guess you mean to speak frankly, right? The Madam’s health is not very good!

She wanted to step forward, but she still lowered her head. Even if she was a slave with a good reputation, she was still just a slave. Grandma Yu knew this very clearly. Since she was a slave, she should obey her master. Even if Even if it goes against her own thoughts, she has to listen to her master.

The madam is her master, and the madam is also her master!

"Mom, there are rumors outside... It is said that this Xiushui demon is a man, and he is colluding with someone in our house to ruin the reputation of the fifth lady. It is said that our family may have a close relationship with this demon, and even... There may even be... an ulterior relationship with him!"

When Mrs. Xingguo asked this, Mrs. Xingguo's eyes immediately turned red, her feet softened, and she knelt in front of the bed, "Mother, if you just doubt your daughter-in-law, it doesn't matter if your daughter-in-law doesn't know, but...poor few people in the house. Unmarried girls, unexpectedly... were spoken of so harshly... It was said that the Xiushui Demonic Way incident started in the Yong-Kangbo Mansion, in our house!"

Mrs. Xingguo began to cry as she spoke.

"What? You're actually... so vicious..." Mrs. Tai slapped the edge of the bed hard with her hand, and her face turned livid with anger.

Aunt Yu looked up at Mrs. Xingguo Gong, then looked at the madam who was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged, and then lowered her head.

She also knows the news outside the mansion, and naturally knows that the most important thing to spread about this matter now is Mrs. Xingguo. After all, she is the head of the mansion.

Although there were occasional rumors about other mistresses, everyone felt that the most credible one was Mrs. Xingguo Gong.

In Mammy Yu's heart, she felt that this matter was just a rumor. No one in the mansion believed it. Neither Mrs. Tai nor Duke Xingguo believed that Madam would do this. Therefore, the rumor was just a rumor. Madam was completely There is no need to bring this matter to the Madam in such a big way.

He sighed softly and reminded himself again that he was just a servant, but his eyes still focused on the Madam.

"Mother, don't you know? It is said that this matter has even reached Yuhui Temple. Ru'er's maid was still saying yesterday that people from the Ministry of Punishment are also investigating the matter, as well as An'er and his two brothers. Mr. Lian Guo is now Every time I go out... I'm being judged... This... This is how the Duke of the country can stand in front of all the ministers..."

Mrs. Xingguo Gong sobbed and cried.

The madam was angry and annoyed when she heard that. She stretched out her trembling fingers and wanted to say something, but she felt that her chest was so tight that she couldn't even breathe. She breathed hard, her face turned red, and her throat seemed to have something blocked. , his eyes popped out, and he collapsed on the bed.

Aunt Yu hurried over, pushed Mrs. Xingguo away, and said humbly: "Madam, the wife is seriously ill again. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he no longer cared about Mrs. Xingguo, half-hugged the wife in his arms, and on the other hand, he soothed her breath on her chest and ordered the maid to get the pills.

Fortunately, the pills had been prepared early. Taking the water that the pills had turned into, Aunt Yu carefully fed the water to the Madam. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the look on the Madam's face improved slightly.

He patted her back again and asked her to spit out the phlegm in her throat, and then she really recovered.

"Mother, mother, how are you?" Mrs. Xingguo Gong was also startled. Naturally, she didn't really mean to frighten Mrs. Xingguo. If something happened, Gong Xingguo would not spare her.

"I... nothing's wrong!" Although the madam recovered, she still had a splitting headache, and her throat was sore and uncomfortable.

"You...just go outside and say that I was deceived by others. It was because I listened to other people's words and mistakenly believed the words of traitors, which is why the fifth girl was almost in trouble."

The madam said with difficulty, reaching out to cover her chest, but there was a gloomy look on her old face.

"But... but who are we to say is the traitor? We... who are the traitors in our house?" Mrs. Xingguo seemed to be frightened. She lost her usual shrewdness and looked at the sun with red eyes. Madam, let her make up her mind. This is to introduce someone to pay off the debt. She wants to see who the Dowager abandons.

This matter is so big, someone has to stand up for it. The weight of a servant is too low. Even if the reputation of being greedy is not good, it is better than the reputation of one's own grandchildren and granddaughters, especially the children of the second wife. Their reputations cannot be ruined, as each of them is dear to the heart of the Dowager.

"That goddaughter of yours!" The madam fell back, unable to close her eyes.

Mrs. Xingguo was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and asked tentatively: "Qi Rongzhi?"

"Yes, that's her. Let her come. I heard that she had a bad relationship with Wu Yatou when she was in the Qin Mansion, and it was even worse when she was in Jiangzhou."

The madam closed her eyes and said.

"But... but, she, a little girl who has just been in Beijing, doesn't know this... this thing about Xiushui..." It's not that Mrs. Xingguo is reluctant to let go of Qi Rongzhi, it's because Qi Rongzhi has no connection with this matter. It's too far-fetched and even more... It makes people suspicious, I just think that she is the person promoted by Xingguo Duke's government to solve the problem, and she is also a righteous daughter, which is very unkind.

"I asked her to say that she heard what others said... She heard what the eldest daughter of the Qin Mansion said, who is now married to the Yong-Kangbo Mansion." Since the Tai Furen thought about Qi Rongzhi's matter, of course she also Thinking of her background and origin, Mrs. Xingguo Gong also mentioned this matter just now, which shows that Yong-Kangbo Mansion is also very suspicious.

In this case, it is normal that this matter was initiated by Yong Kangbo Mansion.

Although Mrs. Tai had been idle for many years, she still remembered something about this Xiushui Demonic Way. It seemed that it had indeed come from the Yong Kangbo Mansion at first. The Mrs. Yong Kangbo at that time was still the current Mrs. Yong Kangbo. Madam, during several banquets, she repeatedly expressed that the Taoist Master Xiu Shui was very skilled in magic.

Thinking about it carefully, it does mean to help promote the Xiushui Demonic Way.

"Putting it on Yong Kangbo Mansion, I'm afraid the Mrs. Yong Kangbo Mansion won't let it go, right?" Mrs. Xingguo said hesitantly.

Although the Yong-Kangbo Mansion has fallen into decline, it must have some secrets and cannot be underestimated.

"I'm not blaming it on them, I'm blaming it on Qi Ronzhi. As for what Qi Ronzhi wants to say, it's up to her! She has been raising her in vain for several years, so she must do her best! Isn't her big brother quite capable? , Just let her know that it was the person from the Qin Mansion who told her!" Madam Tai said coldly, originally it was a reluctant idea to admit Qi Rongzhi.

This will make her repay her kindness, which is what she should do.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law understands!" Mrs. Xingguo understood it...
