Considering the taboo against physical contact between men and women, a paddle was specially carved from wood.
The secret guards were, after all, secret guards, extremely skilled in interrogation. Jiang Nuan wanted Wang Shi's scars to be the same as the children's, and An San really copied them almost exactly.
Both the degree of swelling and the scars were remarkably similar.
In order to prevent Wang from disturbing others, he even stuffed his own sock into her mouth.
Although he didn't say much, An San's dissatisfaction and contempt for the Wang family were fully displayed, and everyone knew it.
It has to be said that his actions were quite satisfying.
"Butler, have someone apply medicine to her and then send her to that house in town. She is not allowed to come here again."
"yes!"
Cao Guanjia already had some minor complaints, and now he completely disliked Wang Shi.
This person looks gentle and honest, but his actions are not as kind as he appears.
He'd seen plenty of cunning people, but this was the first time he'd seen someone so foolish as to dig their own grave.
He genuinely didn't understand what this young mistress was thinking.
He waved his hand and told two people to lift the person onto the carriage.
Seeing this, Jiang Nuan added, "Since she is injured, don't let her run around, and make sure her food is light and bland."
If you don't cherish the good days, then don't live them at all.
"This old servant understands."
He took a deep look at Wang Shi and couldn't help but sigh.
The eldest young mistress has truly been rejected this time. She's been confined, and it's uncertain whether she'll ever be able to escape in her lifetime.
Why doesn't this person know how to cherish what they have?
Wang was unwilling, but her struggles were futile, and she was eventually sent away.
"It should have been done long ago," Old Madam Jiang sneered. "People with impure intentions should not be kept around, but you always have to be soft-hearted."
"Mother, I'm already angry enough, please don't add fuel to the fire."
"You won't even let me speak the truth? I can't be bothered with you."
Grandma Jiang snorted coldly, raised her chin and left, walking with a brisk pace, but her face was relaxed.
It's clear that Wang's departure really put her in a good mood.
“This was handled very well,” Old Mrs. Huang nodded in agreement. “It wasn’t that we were deliberately being mean to her. We could have conceded on trivial matters, but the harm done to her offspring is absolutely intolerable.”
"Yes, daughter-in-law understands."
"I have always trusted you."
After finishing her speech, Grandma Huang slowly left.
"Mother, will my sister-in-law hold a grudge against us?"
“That’s what I find so sad,” Jiang Nuan shook her head and slowly said, “Your sister-in-law is the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Even if we go too far, she will only resent us and not hate us. But she shows no pity for the child who is weaker than her.”
Even if they know their behavior is wrong, they will only make excuses instead of genuinely repenting.
“After this, she will definitely behave herself for a while, but once everyone forgets about it, she will relapse into her old ways, only she will use more subtle methods.”
Such people are pitiful because they don't know how to fight back when they are bullied, but conversely, they are also hateful. They vent all their negative emotions on the weaker people, and the closer the relationship, the deeper the hurt.
If it hadn't been discovered early enough, the children would have developed psychological problems if they had continued to be abused.
Based on this alone, she would no longer allow Wang to have contact with the children.
As for not having a mother, they can survive without parents, so these little ones will surely grow up well with so many people loving them.
That's how things are in this world; very few things are perfect. Regardless of whether there are regrets or not, we must look forward. Life is so long; we must grow up slowly.
"Strange, why is my sister-in-law's personality so awkward?"
Jiang Nuan didn't respond to this; instead, she fell silent.
She recalled how her two daughters-in-law treated her with utmost respect when she first arrived, making her think she had wandered into the wrong theater.
Looking back now, perhaps the repressive life of the past has molded me into this state.
But she hadn't studied psychology and didn't understand it at all. She had tried her best to provide her with a relaxed environment, but it still couldn't change the situation. The only thing she could do was separate her from the children.
"Don't mention her again. Tell Da Niu and the others that she's recuperating and is locked up for now. We'll see how the boss handles it when he gets back."
Whether she stays or takes him to the capital, she will not interfere.
In any case, we will absolutely not let her set foot in the manor again.
"That's fine. Mother, go back to your room and rest. I'll go check on Da Niu and the others."
"Um."
When Xie arrived, Da Niu heard the sound and woke up, calling out, "Second Aunt~"
"Big Ox, are you feeling any better? Does it still hurt?"
"Only a little bit."
Da Niu used his fingernail to draw a tiny point.
"Bear with it for now," Xie said, stroking his soft hair with great concern. "He'll feel better after taking two more doses of medicine tomorrow."
"It's a little itchy, I want to scratch it."
"Don't scratch it, it will bleed and cause further injury, and you'll have to take more medicine, very bitter medicine."
"Ah, then I won't scratch anymore."
"Good boy, close your eyes, your aunt will lull you to sleep."
"Um."
Seeing this, Xie began to sing a lullaby to lull people to sleep.
A moment later, she felt the person fall asleep and prepared to leave.
Just as she turned around, she heard Da Niu ask in a low voice, "Second Aunt, was my mother kicked out?"
“No,” Madam Xie paused and immediately turned around. “Your mother is not feeling well, so Grandma sent her to the house in town to recuperate. Too many people at home will disturb her recovery, so don’t overthink it.”
"Um."
After responding sullenly, he buried his head in the quilt, and tears silently streamed down his face where Xie Shi couldn't see.
He is already five years old, not a three-year-old child, and has already learned a lot.
My mother made a terrible mistake; nobody likes her anymore, and she has no place in the family.
I was very sad and heartbroken, but I didn't dare to ask them to stay.
My mother is terrifying, like a monster.
He was not yet grown up and could not protect his younger siblings, so he could only painfully let his mother leave.
We'll bring him back when he grows up and can protect himself and his younger siblings.
Hearing the suppressed sobbing, Xie sighed and picked up Da Niu. "If you want to cry, then cry. Your second aunt won't tell anyone."
What a terrible thing to do!
She regretted it a little; those four slaps weren't enough. She should have given her a dozen or twenty.
How could your sister-in-law bear to harm such a good child?
Upon hearing this, Da Niu could no longer hold back and began to sob softly.
Its whimpering and howling sounded like that of an abandoned little animal, desperate and helpless.
Unable to rest easy about Jiang Nuan who had come over, he froze upon hearing the sound.
After a long silence, he pushed open the door and came in. "Da Niu, if you don't want to, we'll bring your mother back."
“No, no,” Da Niu’s voice choked with emotion. “Grandma is doing this for our own good. Da Niu knows that Da Niu is too young to protect himself or his younger siblings.”
“My dear Da Niu,” Xie’s eyes stung a little, “you are such a treasure.”
As she spoke, she couldn't help but lower her head and gently peck his cheek.
She couldn't believe her sister-in-law could see such a good child; she seriously suspected her eyes were blinded by mud.
