"This is a rumor and slander!"
Mrs. Bu was horrified. This time she was careless, but she thought she had cleaned up the mess after the previous two arson incidents.
However, he did not expect that there would be mistakes in the arrangements for his son.
The confidant's mother was sold as a maid when she was young. After she served Mrs. Bu and became "rich", she returned home in glory to find her relatives.
I also learned that I had a distant relative.
It just so happened that Mrs. Bu wanted to arrange a parent-child marriage, so her confidant mother recommended this relative.
He was supported by Mrs. Bu to become a small landlord in the village, and now he is a big landlord. If he were not a relative of his confidante mother, Mrs. Bu would have dealt with him long ago.
But why would this bitch Bei know about this? Could it be that the Bei family helped?
She said that Bei was the legitimate daughter of the Bei family, and why was the Bei family so ruthless? It turned out that they were waiting for her here.
She was deceived by the Bei family.
Mrs. Bu was filled with hatred!
Master Bu looked at Madam Bu in disbelief, "You found your biological child ten years ago?"
Bei Lingyao continued, "That's right. When my husband was young, Madam Bu would take the child back to her parents' home whenever she had an argument with Grand Tutor Bu. But after the fire at Minister Lin's mansion, Madam Bu fell seriously ill. After that, the people serving my husband were replaced for various reasons. You wouldn't be able to find those people now because they're all dead."
"Ms. Bei, you are making up stories about me, you are…"
Mrs. Bu shut up in time, not wanting to involve her own son. Although this would damage the reputation of the Bei family, her own son had just passed the imperial examination and had a bright future. It was also the time to discuss marriage and marry a noble lady from a prominent family.
She couldn't harm her son at this time.
"Mrs. Bu knows very well whether it was me who orchestrated this or not."
Bei Lingyao turned to Emperor Yongxi and said, "Madam Bu took her son back to her parents' home, but she lost her own child. He happened to be the same age as the son of Minister Lin next door, so Madam Bu burned down Minister Lin's mansion and took the son away."
Everyone gasped again.
"You're crazy, this is slander."
Mrs. Bu couldn't remain calm because what Bei Lingyao said was the truth.
She was confident that she had cleaned up the mess over the years, and except for her trusted mother, everyone who knew about the incident had been dismissed with various excuses and then killed.
She even killed her son's midwife, wet nurse, and maids.
Mrs. Bu turned around and glared at her confidante, saying that it was this old woman who betrayed her.
She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. Why didn't she, who was always cautious, kill her confidante mother and completely eliminate the root of the problem?
This old woman had served her for many years and was even unwilling to get married. She always stayed with her. She was moved by the old woman's loyalty, but she didn't expect that she would betray her.
The confidante mother shook her head slightly at Madam Bu, hoping that Madam Bu could stay calm. In fact, her heart was also in turmoil, beating fast, and she was quite frightened.
Could it be that they were careless and still knew that someone was alive?
"Whether it's slander or not, we'll know once we investigate. The midwife, wet nurse, and those maids are all gone. And I don't know what Madam Bu's mentality is. She set fire to the Lin residence, took someone else's child, then took her own child from the opera troupe and placed him in a Lin family with the same surname. How can you face this surname calmly?"
"Madam Bei, don't you feel guilty for making up these stories? Ever since you married into the Taifu Mansion, Madam Bei felt sorry for you being disliked by your family and treated you like her own daughter. It was only when Master Pu Yu passed away that Madam Bei, heartbroken by the loss of her son, blamed you. When you wanted to leave the mansion, Madam Bei repeatedly tried to persuade you to stay, and she was so upset that she fell ill. Considering Madam Bei's hard work in raising the young master safely, Madam Bei shouldn't fabricate and slander you like this."
"If we, mother and son, don't leave the house, will we still be alive? The Taifu Mansion is a den of wolves and tigers. I don't know if you have encountered countless wronged spirits seeking your lives in your dreams at midnight. Madam Bu goes to worship Buddha every few days and asks the monks to perform rituals. She is not only seeking peace of mind, but also trying to suppress the wronged spirits."
"You..." Madam Bu's eyes widened. "I will never tolerate such slander."
As she said this, she was about to crash into the pillar.
Emperor Yongxi glanced at the Feiyu Guards, who immediately stopped Madam Bu.
"Mrs. Bu isn't even afraid of death, so why would she be afraid of an investigation? I'm afraid of death, but I'm willing to use my life to ask the Emperor to thoroughly investigate Mrs. Bu. Lvliu is already dead, and I don't want my mother, son, and wet nurse to be uneasy while they're still alive."
Bei Lingyao's eyes were misty as she spoke. She blinked and raised her eyes slightly to prevent the tears from falling. She was so strong that it was heartbreaking.
"Come here, drag those two arsonists up here."
The men in black and gray were so scared that their faces turned pale. They were originally the Tu family's death squads for Madam Bu, but Madam Bu did not regard them as death squads. She detoxified them, raised them, married them off and gave them children, and let them live like human beings.
Their lives belong to Madam Bu, and they will be loyal to Madam Bu in life and death.
But I didn't expect to get into trouble because of my carelessness.
Now I can't even commit suicide.
How could they avoid implicating Madam Bu? The two of them thought about it and said:
The man in black said, "I plead guilty. Madam Bu didn't order us to do so. We ourselves couldn't stand Madam Bei's ungrateful attitude and hurt Madam Bu's feelings."
"I plead guilty. It wasn't Madam Bu who ordered us to do so. It was Mama Lian..."
The two people's statements are not certain, but both of them excuse Mrs. Bu.
The man in black glared at the man in gray. Are you stupid? Lian Mama is Madam Bu's confidant. If you say Lian Mama, isn't that the same as saying Madam Bu?
"Oh, Lian's mother has so much power that she even ordered the Tu family's assassins to set fire and kill people."
Bei Lingyao glanced at the faces of Lian's mother and Mrs. Bu, which made Lian's mother tremble with fear and Mrs. Bu looked puzzled.
But at this time, the situation was extremely unfavorable to them.
Mrs. Bu looked at Lian's mother with pleading eyes, hoping that Lian's mother would admit it.
Even her mother was stunned, her heart ached with sadness.
But soon, Lian Mama seemed to have made up her mind, and she knelt on the ground and said, "I am guilty. I did everything. It has nothing to do with Madam."
Master Bu felt so cold in his heart that he couldn't even breathe.
As a married couple for many years, he knows Mrs. Bu best. She has a strong personality and a strong desire for control. Even his mother has always responded to Mrs. Bu's requests, even at the cost of her life. Now that he has confessed his guilt, it must have been Mrs. Bu who did it.
"What crime did you commit that your mother pleaded guilty to?"
Bei Lingyao didn't want to let the past pass like this.
Lian Mama hated Bei Lingyao in her heart. When Madam said she wanted to deal with Bei, it was she who stopped her, saying that Bei was the daughter of the Minister of Rites after all and could not die in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Otherwise, how could Bei stand here and sue Madam?
Lian's mother was filled with remorse and never mentioned the two previous arsons, only talking about this one.
Bei Lingyao tutted, "What a great motherly love."
Everyone looked confused because of this sentence.
