Chapter 165 Sale
When Mrs. Li heard this, she hurriedly took the child over.
After being married for several years, they finally had this one child, and Li treasured him more than anyone else. She held her son's hand, frowned, and asked the nurse: "Where did this little red spot come from? It looks like it was pricked by a needle?"
The nurse was also very surprised to see the little red spot and said, "Madam, I really don't know. When I gave the young master a bath yesterday afternoon, there was no such red spot yet."
Sun Jiaxing observed the red spot carefully and said, "It looks like it was pricked by a needle, and it looks like it was just recently."
When Li heard this, she was so angry that her eyes turned red: "Who did it? How dare you!"
Niuniu suddenly reached out and grabbed Li's sleeve, and comforted her in a baby voice: "Don't worry, godmother. My mother said that when you are anxious, you are likely to make mistakes, and it is easy for bad people to succeed."
Li nodded and said, "Okay, Godmother, don't worry. Godmother must find the person who harmed Changshou."
Perhaps the little girl's comfort worked, Li actually calmed down, and her eyes fell on several people present.
There are four main people responsible for looking after longevity.
A wet nurse, an old maid, and two maids.
The old nanny took leave yesterday and is not at home today, so she is naturally ruled out first.
Among the two maids, Shanhu was relatively marginalized. At this time, she took the initiative to say, "Madam, I didn't touch the young master today. It was definitely not me."
The list of suspects only includes the wet nurse and Pearl.
The nurse naturally wouldn't admit it, and only said, "The young master was fine when I was holding him. I felt sick earlier, and when I turned around, I saw the young master crying!"
Pearl: "It was the nurse who held the young master more often! The young master started crying in the nurse's arms! Not me!"
Before Sun Jiaxing and his wife could say anything, they had to watch the two men start fighting.
"The nurse took the master's gold collar! She is not a good person!" Pearl shouted.
The nurse was not to be outdone and said, "You have also taken a lot of money from the young master!"
Pearl shouted again, "The day before yesterday I saw the nanny and the second wife talking by the rockery. Did the second wife instruct you to do this? The second wife wanted the eldest master to adopt the fourth young master. She must have wanted you to harm the young master!"
When the nurse heard this and saw that everyone present was looking at her, she quickly said, "The Second Madam only asked me who made the young master's bellyband and said that the stitches were very fine. She didn't instruct me to do these things."
"As for you, I saw you talking to Daimao next to the Third Madam from a distance yesterday. Daimao seemed to have given you something! Maybe it was the Third Madam who asked you to do this. After all, the Third Madam also wanted to adopt her little daughter to the eldest master!"
Sun Jiaxing frowned and shouted, "Asshole!"
The wet nurse and Pearl fell to their knees on the ground, their bodies shaking like sieves.
Niu Niu had just entered the mansion when these two people revealed all the secret plans of the other two branches of the Sun family: the second branch wanted to give a son to the first branch, and the third branch wanted to give a daughter to the first branch.
Sun Jiaxing sneered at this time and said, "They are more worried than I am about whether I can have both a son and a daughter."
Li's tears fell, and she said with a guilty look on her face: "My husband, it was my fault that I didn't pay attention and let such a person appear around Changshou."
Sun Jiaxing blamed his wife in his heart. After all, the inner house should be taken care of by his wife.
Niuniu whispered at this time: "Godmother, you just gave birth to a child, you can't cry."
Li felt a pang in her heart. Her own son was being pricked with an injection in a place where she couldn't see. Her guilt was about to overflow.
Niuniu also patted her hands and said, "Godmother, you are already very tired taking care of the baby, you can't think too much and blame yourself."
Li looked at the obedient and soft little girl, and suddenly understood why Gu Mingda and his wife both pampered her.
Who wouldn’t love such a sensible and considerate little sweet girl?
Sun Jiaxing also changed from blaming to feeling guilty, and said: "You are weak, and this is not the time to worry about these things. It's because they are too worried that they took advantage of the situation."
After Sun Jiaxing helped his wife sit down, he turned around and looked at the two people kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.
"If you confess now, you won't have to be tortured. Who ordered you to give me the needles?"
Pearl and the nurse looked at each other and pointed at each other: "It's her, not me! Master, please check it out!"
Sun Jiaxing didn't hesitate and called his long-servant in, "Send these two men to the government office. They will be severely punished."
When the nurse heard this, she cried very sadly: "Master, I am not a servant in your house, I am an honest citizen, I really didn't give the young master an acupuncture, the second wife did look for me, but I didn't agree!"
"I can be the young master's wet nurse. As long as I take good care of the young master, I can live a good life. Why should I take the risk to work for the second wife?"
Zhenzhu also said, "Master, if you really send us to the government office, we can't hide this matter anymore. I'm afraid other people will know about the scandal in the inner house, and our Sun family will become a joke in the city..."
Sun Jiaxing said, "Am I not a joke now? Zhenzhu, not only will you be severely punished today, but I will also sell all your family members to the mines."
Places like mines don't take human life seriously at all. If you go there, you'll probably be tortured to death within half a year.
When Zhenzhu heard this, she no longer hesitated and cried, "Master, I confess! I confess everything! It was Daimao who found me. She wanted me to torture the young master and put the blame on Miss Gu. In this way, you and the Madam will dislike Miss Gu and consider adopting the daughter of the third wife instead."
"Master, I am short-sighted. Please, for the sake of my parents' dedicated service over the years, please do not implicate my family."
Sun Jiaxing looked at his attendant and said, "First, search the house and find out all the things she took from the young master. Then, drag the whole family out and sell them together."
Pearl's face suddenly turned pale. The only good news was that she would not be sold to the mine, but she would not let others go like this. Why should she be the only one who was unlucky?
"I learned this trick from the wet nurse. When the young master kept crying, the wet nurse pricked his acupuncture points and made him faint!" said Zhenzhu.
The most important reason why today's wet nurse can get this job is that she says she has some knowledge of medicine and can take better care of longevity.
But I never expected that this advantage would one day turn into a sharp knife that pierces people.
"Shanhu is not a good person either. Last time I saw her secretly pinching the young master! Her mother works in the second wife's yard. Maybe she received instructions from the second wife!"
As Pearl started to bite, almost all the people who served little Changshou were wiped out, except the old nanny.
The more Sun Jiaxing interrogated, the colder his back felt.
Among these three wrong people, the wet nurse is greedy for money and Zhenzhu works for the third wife. Neither of them will take away Changshou's life.
The only one was Coral, she was here to kill him, and that was thanks to the fact that Coral was a marginal person, she hadn't made up her mind to do it yet.
In the end, Zhenzhu and her family were sold, and Coral's family was sent directly to the mine. The wet nurse was a good citizen, and she returned all the things she stole. She was then driven out of the Sun Mansion. Her reputation was ruined, and no one dared to hire her for work in the future.
Sun Jiaxing looked tired. He looked at Li and asked softly, "Am I a very bad brother? Why did they attack Changshou? Changshou is so young..."
