Chapter 12 Hanging
Author: Zhou Ziheng
The old lady rolled her eyes and was about to faint again.
Gu Changheng's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, "Aruo, my mother had just acupuncture, and now she is weak, so she is not as good as this medicine..."
Zhao Mingruo had a serious expression, "Husband, have you heard the doctor's words too? Don't you want your mother to recover from illness?"
"Or it is said that you don't believe Dr. Zhu's diagnosis. If you don't believe it, you can go to other doctors to come over."
She even quickly helped the old lady up and was about to faint, "Afu, serve the old lady with medicine."
The old lady pretended to be fainting, nor did she take medicine. She was about to cry, and her face was full of wrinkles and was about to wrinkle into a chrysanthemum, "Mingruo..."
"vomit……"
"Heng'er..."
As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, Afu fed the medicine in. The bitter soup came into her mouth, spoonful after spoon, making her choke so that she had no chance to speak.
"Ahem cough cough..."
"vomit……"
Gu Changheng felt it was inappropriate and wanted to step forward to stop him, but Xiaosi Zhusheng appeared in a hurry and interrupted him.
"Second Master..."
Zhu Sheng looked anxious. As soon as he was about to report the situation, he saw Zhao Mingruo here, and stopped talking again, "Second Madam."
With this look, it is not difficult to see that he has an indescribable hidden secret.
Gu Changheng immediately let go of his eyes and begged the old lady, "Mother, since the doctor has said you need to take medicine and rest well, then be obedient, son wait and see you."
"Aruo, it's mostly about the school affairs, I'll deal with it first."
After saying that, Gu Changheng left in a hurry despite the old lady's request.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
The old lady's struggle was even more powerful, but she couldn't make any waves.
Afu moved quickly. With Zhao Mingruo's cooperation, he fed all the black-black soup to the old lady.
"Mother, you have a good rest first. Just send someone to call your son if you have any questions." Zhao Mingruo took Afu away quickly and neatly.
"vomit……"
The old lady lay on the bed and vomited out all the medicine she had just drunk, almost vomiting all the bile, "Zhao Mingruo, you little bitch... You dare to feed me such a bitter thing, I must
...I must settle the score with you."
"vomit--"
Madam He hurried forward, "Old lady, don't be angry, your health is important."
After returning to his yard, Zhao Mingruo sat upright on the top.
Afu gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "I heard that Yun Suiwan committed suicide by hanging himself in the inn. After hearing the news, the second master was anxious to see her."
"As soon as you cry, make a fuss, and then you will use this despicable means to steal someone else's husband."
Zhao Mingruo's eyes were frosty, "It's a pity that I can't watch her hanging, but we should take this opportunity to start dealing with our own affairs."
"Is Peng Nian here?"
"Where is outside, I will help you call someone." Ah Fu went out and soon brought Peng Nian over.
"Madam, the evidence you want has been plundered. Please read it." Peng Nian respectfully presented several books, "There are some bad accounts of other houses, but the villain handled it with caution.
Those who chose Butler Chen alone did not involve others."
Zhao Mingruo took the account book and frowned deeper, "This shameless man actually embezzled nearly 10,000 taels of silver."
It far exceeded Zhao Mingruo's expectations.
That's all her dowry and hard-earned money!!
"You're doing a good job." Zhao Mingruo said coldly, "Go and call other rooms, you can't keep this worm and harm the Marquis' Mansion."
"yes."
Afu and Peng Nian went out together.
Not long after.
Yunyao Courtyard was filled with people.
"Second sister-in-law, why did you come to us at noon?" Luo, the fourth wife complained in dissatisfaction.
Shen from the third room also spoke, "That's right, we slept well. It's so cold outside that we almost got a cold."
Zhao Mingru sat on the head seriously and said calmly, "Don't worry, brothers and sisters, it's natural that there is something important to come to you. You can see it yourself."
Afu handed the account book to the ladies present one by one.
The thirteenth child of the old man in Anyuan Hou Mansion. In addition to the second, third and fifth girls born by the old lady in the main house, three concubines in the mansion have given birth to his children, including the eldest son, the fourth son, and the seventh son.
The Eighth Young Master and the Tenth Girl were both born by Guo.
Aunt Ye has only a twin daughter with Miss Six and Miss Seven. Aunt Qi is the youngest in the grade, but she gave birth to two ladies, Eleventh Master and Twelveth Three.
The third wife and the fourth wife were surprised to see the account book.
"My God, is that Butler Chen really so bold? He actually swallowed so much money."
"Yes, this is all the money from our Marquis' Mansion. All of them were embezzled by this bastard. Second sister-in-law, you must deal with him well and let him spit out the money he had eaten."
They were talking nonsense.
The sixth young master made a marriage before the New Year, and just waited for the auspicious day in May to get married. When the girls got married, they stopped counting at their parents' homes. Now the words of the marquis’ mansion are the wives of the first five houses.
Among them, the one with the highest prestige is the Wang family in the big house.
Although he was a concubine, his status was even more noble than the legitimate daughter of an ordinary family. After marrying into the Marquis' Mansion, he was favored. He gave birth to a male child for the boss the second year after entering the house.
The eldest son and grandson were all occupied.
If it weren't for the old lady who took advantage of the old marquis being imprisoned, the marquis's mansion was in chaos, so she handed over the power of the family to Zhao Mingruo, for fear that the entire marquis' mansion would be in the hands of Wang.
Wang smiled slightly and never expressed his opinion.
However, Zhao Mingruo changed his normal behavior and took the initiative to ask Wang's opinion, "Sister-in-law, do you have any opinions on Butler Chen's matter?"
Wang lowered his head and sipped the tea, "Second brother and sister, since my mother has handed over the power of the housekeeper to you, I am naturally not good at talking too much. You have always been steady in managing the Hou's Mansion, so you should make a decision."
Only then did Wang not make a head-on bird and offend the old lady.
The third lady couldn't understand the meaning of the two people, "Second sister-in-law, are you confused? Why do you keep this kind of stealing thing for him? Just drive the person away directly."
Zhao Mingruo really wanted to block this brainless mouth. No wonder the old lady put all her treasures on the second child. It would be useless to see that the third child was like this.
The fifth lady also joined in the fun, "Yes, the second sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law is right at all. Just drive this person away. Why keep it and be upset? We don't have enough money for ourselves!"
Zhao Mingruo continued to laugh and said, "It turns out that there is nothing important to drive me away. This butler Chen is a distant relative of his mother. If he drives him away rashly, it would be like my daughter-in-law who has ulterior motives."
"And the position of the housekeeper is important to the Marquis' Mansion. I am not good at making decisions by myself, so I called everyone over and discussed it together."
