Chapter 238 Interrogation of Chunniang
In the spacious superior guest room, Chunniang was tied up and thrown to the ground by the servants.
The wound at the corner of her mouth was still very conspicuous. The bright red flesh was turned upwards at the torn part, revealing two bloody grooves.
Chunniang clenched her teeth in pain, but she couldn't stop moaning in her throat. Her eyelids were swollen and she would drop two tears from time to time.
At the moment, what Chunniang feared most was that her face would be ruined. Once she lost the favor of the old man, what would she do in the future?
So, when Mrs. Xiao was about to step into the room with a dignified look,
Chunniang swallowed her saliva, crawled to her feet, and begged with tears: "Old lady, please listen to me. If it weren't for Zhang Wanjun's shameful act that ruined the reputation of the Xiao family, I wouldn't dare to come here to make trouble. Please find a doctor for me."
Because her mouth was crippled, she still had some leakage when she spoke.
Even though she spoke with great pain, she still couldn't speak clearly, and it sounded like she had a mouthful of leftovers in her mouth.
Old lady Xiao glanced at her, turned around and ordered two maids to take Madam Xiao to another room and take good care of her, and not let her do anything stupid.
"Wanjun, you go and accompany Sister Yuan first and take a nap. As long as your mother is here, the sky will not fall." Old lady Xiao patted her daughter-in-law on the shoulder, and her tone was inexplicably reassuring.
Chunniang's eyes widened.
Wait, did the old lady not hear what she said? Zhang Wanjun has ruined the family tradition, why is she still comforting her in such a gentle voice!
Chunniang became even more anxious, and she had to shout out loud even at the risk of tearing her mouth.
"Old lady! Do you know that eighteen years ago, Zhang Wanjun was captured by several bandits on the farm, and she was defiled before she consummated her marriage with the old man!" She was so excited that her voice almost broke.
Mrs. Xiao turned around and frowned at her with disdain: "Try to scream like a ghost again."
After that, the old lady calmly sat on the couch, took a sip of cold tea and snorted: "It's just a trivial matter. I knew it eighteen years ago, and I was the one who took care of bringing Wanjun back to the mansion. This is all stale rice, do you need to be disgusted and come to the ears of the gods!"
When Chunniang heard this, her eyes were staring straight, like dead fish, and she was dumbfounded.
What?
It turned out that Zhang Wanjun cheated on the old man, and this stinky old woman knew it all...
In fact, after knowing it, not only did she not divorce her, but she also deliberately hid it from the old man, took her back to the mansion, and doted on her
. How could there be a mother-in-law in the world who can be so generous! This is impossible, absolutely impossible!
Chunniang was a little overwhelmed. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, suddenly let out a few loud shouts, and stared at Mrs. Xiao in disbelief.
Mrs. Xiao threw the teacup back, splashing the remaining tea in the cup onto Chunniang's face, and then questioned in a deep voice.
"Okay, since you already know that I will protect Wanjun, don't say these trivial nonsense. I have a few important things to ask you. If you still want to walk out of here alive, just tell me." Mrs. Xiao's tone was more stern.
She raised her black and white eyes, with a fierce look, and glared at Chunniang interrogatively.
This look seemed to have bursts of murderous aura, and Chunniang was a little frightened, so she didn't dare to scream anymore.
Because her hands and feet were tied behind her back, the woman could only sit paralyzed on the ground for the time being, but Mrs. Xiao was not used to her posture, so she picked up a cup lid and hit her waist.
"Kneel down properly!"
Chunniang was so painful that her body bent like a big shrimp. She was afraid of suffering more physical pain, so she could only crawl and twist on the ground, and finally managed to kneel up.
Mrs. Xiao pondered for a moment, and first asked: "Wanjun and I have been away from home for many days this time, and we have never written to tell you where we are. Chunniang, how did you find us and know that we are in this Dalui Village?"
Ever since leaving Jiangjiabao that day, Mrs. Xiao rushed all the way to Dalui Village.
Her nagging son had always been only concerned with accompanying his mistresses, and never asked about their whereabouts. The only people who knew where they were were the rogues sent by the Fang family.
It was no wonder that Mrs. Xiao was surprised. In fact, Chunniang had spent a lot of effort to find this place.
She replied with a swollen mouth, "I didn't know at first, but later, I took people to Jiangjiabao to inquire, and met some thugs raised by the Fang family. I used money to find out your whereabouts from them, so I came here..."
"No wonder." Mrs. Xiao snorted, "It's really hard for you!"
But she was too lazy to settle the account. What was more important was Mrs. Xiao's secret.
"The reason you came here must be because of that incident. Let me ask you, where did you hear that Wanjun was bullied in the past? I heard you yelling that the news spread all over the capital."
Old Madam Xiao paused and tightened her fingers: "Could it be that those in the capital who have dealings with us... know about Wanjun's past?" Chunniang raised
her head, with a gloomy light flashing in her eyes. She was thinking about whether to tell the truth to Old Madam Xiao.
After all, this place is thousands of miles away from the capital. Even if she lied, the old woman would not be able to verify it within three to five days.
Chunniang was planning to deliberately make the matter more serious, so as to force Old Madam Xiao to give up her precious daughter-in-law.
But at this moment, Xiao Nuobao, who had been standing outside the door, saw her sneaky look.
The young man had arrived early, and was lying on the edge of the door, looking inside anxiously.
Seeing that Chunniang seemed to be trying to cheat, Xiao Nuobao frowned, and then raised his hand and released a small thunder and fire, aiming at the soles of Chunniang's feet!
Dare to play tricks?
Watch out!
"Oh my God!" Chunniang was suddenly hit, and her eyes rolled up, like a live fish that was slapped with a knife, and she almost fell backwards to the ground.
The thunder and fire were controlled by Xiao Nuobao, and there were only a few sparks, which could shock people and were not easy to be noticed by outsiders.
Old Mrs. Xiao didn't see what happened at all, she only saw Chunniang suddenly "convulsed", she widened her eyes, and felt it was simply inexplicable.
"What's wrong with you? Just answer the questions and stop pretending. Otherwise, don't blame me for slapping you in the face with my rough hands!" Mrs. Xiao stood up and pointed at her and scolded her.
Chunniang didn't know what happened, but she felt like her feet were burning, and the pain was as if she was stepping on a charcoal basin.
"Old lady, I'll tell you what's wrong with my feet first. They're so hot that I can't stand them." Chunniang cried and trembled, trying to stretch her big feet towards Old Lady Xiao.
Old Lady Xiao also felt something was wrong at this time, and was about to get up from the couch.
Unexpectedly, Chunniang's feet hit her mouth exactly.
"You..." Old Lady Xiao looked down, grabbed the big feet, and her eyes were full of anger.
Chunniang was also scared. She
rolled and crawled to hide.
Even if she had eight hundred mouths, she couldn't explain clearly that she really didn't mean it!
Soon, Chunniang's screams of being slapped were heard in the room, which frightened Mrs. Xiao in the next room, and she thought the old lady was going to kill her.
Xiao Nuobao stood outside the door, almost bursting out laughing, then she scratched her head and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
She couldn't be blamed for this, it was Chunniang who refused to answer and had to play tricks.
However, now that she was punished, she would probably be more honest and tell the truth as soon as possible.
