Chapter 453: Old and Fading, Can't Keep the Son-in-law
[These three servants did not lie.]
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingzhi's eyes widened and he stared at Gu Jianchu in confusion.
Madam Wen's miscarriage clearly had nothing to do with Mu Yao, so why did they say that these three servants did not lie? Is there something wrong here?
Before Xie Qingzhi could figure it out, Gu Jianchu's voice came again to answer her questions and resolve her confusion.
Because of their position at the time, it looked as if Madam Wen was pushed down by Mu Yao, so they naturally assumed that it was Mu Yao who pushed Madam Wen.
Madam Wen bribed two maidservants to serve as witnesses, proving that it was Mu Yao who pushed her. To keep them under control, she gave each of them a sum of money and also took control of their families to prevent them from betraying her.
What Madam Wen hadn't expected was that three servants mistakenly thought Mu Yao had pushed her. Madam Wen felt like even the heavens were helping her drive Mu Yao away.
After hearing the servant's testimony, Old Lady Kong looked at the four people from Pingxi Marquis's Mansion with a smug look on her face. They had just been so arrogant and even deliberately complained to the Queen, but now they were being slapped in the face so quickly.
The servant had indeed misjudged someone and could firmly say that it was Mu Yao who pushed Madam Wen, but the two maids knew the truth clearly and that was not the case at all.
The little maidservant didn't dare to look into the queen's eyes. She looked through the crowd and looked at Madam Wen who was standing behind Kong Lin.
Madam Wen naturally noticed the looks of the two maids, and her heart began to panic. Once these two people told the truth, everything she had done would be in vain.
Madam Wen pulled out a jade pendant from her sleeve, played with it in her hand, and a fierce look appeared in her eyes.
This jade pendant belongs to their family. Madam Wen is telling them that if they dare to speak nonsense, their family members will not have time to live.
The Queen's shock was still vivid in her mind. The little maidservant who was originally hesitant suddenly understood what was said after seeing Madam Wen's threat.
The two of them didn't dare to look at the Queen. They lowered their heads and tried their best to control their trembling bodies. "Your Majesty, it was Madam Mu who pushed our concubine, causing her to accidentally fall down the stairs and have a miscarriage."
"Ever since she entered the mansion, our aunt has always been very respectful to the Madam. She would go to pay her respects to the Madam every now and then. But for some reason, the Madam didn't like her at all. Not only did she not let her pay her respects, but she even refused to let her visit every day. One day, our aunt suddenly felt like going to the garden for a walk. Who knew that by chance, she would run into the Madam there too, so our aunt thought, since we'd run into her, she'd go over and pay her respects."
"Who knew that our concubine would be scolded by the Madam as soon as she paid her respects? The Madam must have hated our concubine for stealing the master's favor, so when she saw our concubine, she slapped her in the face for no reason. Our concubine was heavy, and the Madam pushed her, so she lost her balance and fell to the ground. She immediately had a bleeding problem. When these two servants saw this, they immediately stepped forward to help send our concubine back home and asked the master and the doctor to come over. The doctor came and said that our concubine's child could not be saved."
The little maidservant spoke with tears in her eyes, as if it were true.
But these were all taught to her by Madam Wen.
Before Gu Jianchu could say anything, Mu Yao's personal maid Qing He rushed out and pointed at the little girl kneeling on the ground and refuted directly, "Nonsense, the Queen and the others are talking nonsense and deliberately slandering our girl. They must have been bribed by Concubine Wen and the people in the Shangshu Mansion to confuse right and wrong and frame our girl like this."
The people from Pingxibo Mansion did not stop Qinghe's actions. They really needed someone to talk to, otherwise they would be framed by the people from Shangshu Mansion.
Qing He's eyes turned red as she spoke, "My young lady really doesn't like Concubine Wen. Since she came into the family, Concubine Wen has been pestering my son-in-law every day. My son-in-law finally came to the young lady's courtyard for a meal at the behest of my wife, but Concubine Wen actually called my son-in-law away on the pretext of feeling unwell. My young lady was worried about Concubine Wen's health at the time, so she specially asked me to go over to visit her with some bird's nest. But as soon as I walked into the courtyard, I heard Concubine Wen's lively voice, and she was even flirting with my son-in-law. I didn't dare go in, so I just stuffed the things to the servants around Concubine Wen and left."
"This kind of thing happened more than once or twice. Our girl endured it silently and didn't say anything. She was considerate of Concubine Wen's pregnancy and needed her husband's company, so she didn't invite the son-in-law back. But Concubine Wen saw that our girl had no temper, so she deliberately pushed her further."
"It's true that Madam Wen comes to pay her respects to the young lady every day, but all she talks about is her uncle Meng Lang, deliberately provoking the young lady. Our young lady got annoyed, so she exempted Madam Wen from paying her respects. If it were any other madam, this exemption would be a great thing, and they would naturally not take the initiative to join in the fun. But Madam Wen is different. Even after the young lady exempted her from paying her respects, she still comes every day. Our young lady doesn't want to see her and listen to her messy and sad things, so she directly ordered this servant to expel her."
"But this Madam Wen is so ignorant of what's good for her. Even though my daughter doesn't want to see her anymore, she still comes here every day. My daughter has no choice but to claim to be sick and not go out."
[It's not that she doesn't know what's right and wrong, she clearly knows what's right and wrong. If she doesn't go to see Mu Yao, how can she put the blame on Mu Yao for the miscarriage? If she doesn't put the blame on Mu Yao, how can she ascend to the position of Madam? There aren't many people who are so clear-headed and calculating.]
Only the silly girl Mu Yao didn't see it, but it seems there's no point in getting along. After all, this Concubine Wen is really hard to guard against, and she'll do anything to achieve her goals.
Xie Qingzhi nodded in agreement.
Unless you know about this kind of plot in advance, you really can't escape it.
Qing He's accusatory voice continued, "The servants saw that the young lady was depressed and unhappy in her room all day long. We were afraid that she would get sick from being so cooped up in her room, so we advised her to go to the courtyard to relax. But who knew that she would be unlucky and run into Madam Wen in the courtyard."
"Madam Wen came over to pay her respects to the young lady without thinking twice. The young lady originally didn't want to pay any attention to her and wanted to make a detour, but who knew she would directly provoke the young lady, even saying that the young lady couldn't keep her husband's heart because of her old age and faded beauty. She also said that the young lady was nothing and would be a divorced woman after she gave birth to a child. The young lady was so angry that she slapped Madam Wen in the face."
