Xu Ranyun almost fainted. She couldn't even take out 1,000 taels, let alone 2,000 taels. Moreover, even if she could, she would never dare to take it out. Her monthly salary was only 15 taels, but now she could take out 1,000 or 2,000 taels. Where did the money come from? Wasn't it embezzlement from the public treasury?
At the same time, I felt bitter, angry, ashamed, and resentful. I was about to explain myself when I heard a cry from outside: "Old lady, madam, please save poor Chuan Ge'er and help us mother and daughter."
To Xu Ranyun, this voice sounded like the sound of nature. She almost laughed out loud in surprise. She glanced at Su Nuannuan's face with pride. Seeing her surprised expression, she felt even happier. She thought to herself, I asked you to dig a hole for me, haha, but you didn't know that the hole I dug for you is even bigger. I will make you suffer even more if I don't bury you this time.
Old Lady Fang was watching Su Nuannuan playing tricks on people. The old lady never liked the intrigues in the back house, but she was very happy to see the intrigues today. Listening to the words of these granddaughters-in-law was even better than the singing on the stage. Because she was thinking that she had eaten a lot of good things from Su Nuannuan, should she also give some money to support her? She was an old feudal lord and had a private treasury with a lot of money. If she took too little, she would be laughed at by the children, but if she took too much, she would feel a little painful. Maybe she had to spend money for the sake of accumulating virtue.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard such a voice outside. Old Madam Fang frowned immediately. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a maid hurried in. After bowing, she reported: "Madam, Aunt Jiang brought Young Master Chuan to kneel in the yard and kowtow, asking you to make a decision for them."
Old Lady Fang was no longer unhappy, but furious. She said in a cold voice, "Ask her in."
The old woman agreed and hurried out. After a while, she saw Aunt Jiang bringing Duan Maochuan in. There was a bruise on the beautiful young woman's forehead, and Duan Maochuan's red face was full of fear. Seeing his mother kneeling straight, he also knelt down quickly.
"What are you doing?" Madam Yang was also unhappy, frowning and said, "Is there anything you can't talk about nicely? Even if others don't care about you, there is still me. You come here to disturb the old lady for no reason. Look how scared Chuan'er is? He has only recovered for a few days? Is this how you treat his mother?" After saying that, she waved to Duan Maochuan and said, "Chuan'er, come to your grandmother."
Duan Maochuan didn't know what to do, but saw Aunt Jiang suddenly kowtowed. She said sadly: "Madam, old lady, I know that I have violated a taboo today and shouldn't act so rashly. It's just one time after another. I can tolerate it once or twice, but I can't tolerate it three or four times. If I continue to tolerate it, my brother's life will be gone, so I came here boldly today and asked the old lady to make a decision for me." After that, she picked up Duan Maochuan and put him on the ground. She whispered: "Brother, go to the madam first, don't talk nonsense."
Duan Maochuan's big eyes were filled with tears as he looked at his mother worriedly. He then looked at Su Nuannuan, and his gentle and worried eyes met hers. The little guy immediately lowered his head and slowly moved to Madam Yang's side, hanging his head and refusing to speak.
"Are you here because of Chuan'er's stomach upset?" Old Lady Fang's face became even worse, and she said indifferently, "Isn't it common for children to have such things happen? After the incident, Xuan'er even invited the director of the Imperial Hospital to come, and that's how Chuan'er's life was saved. Now that the child is better, the matter is over. What else are you waiting for?"
Aunt Jiang raised her voice and said excitedly, "If it was just an illness, I would have nothing to say. Which child doesn't get sick? But in Chuan'er's case, it's obvious that someone is harming him, and this is not the first time. Last year, he fell into the water and almost lost his life. This time is even more dangerous. Old lady, madam, if I hadn't come to ask you to make the decision, even if my brother is lucky, can he still be lucky every time? Can he escape this disaster after another?"
"Asshole, how can you say such nonsense?" Madam Yang was annoyed at the time. Such things were taboos in any deep house. Everyone knew that there were undercurrents in the big house, but these could only be thought about behind closed doors. On the surface, they had to pretend to be harmonious. Only when the family was harmonious could everything be prosperous. Now Aunt Jiang had opened this window paper, and she did it in front of so many people. It was really a taboo.
Aunt Jiang was obviously stimulated by her son's narrow escape from death. She had already put her life and death aside. When scolded by Madam Yang, she did not show any sign of fear or timidity. Instead, she raised her head and chest with a determined look on her face. She said in a deep voice: "Madam, please understand. I will not say such things. I have evidence."
"Okay." Old Lady Fang shouted, patted the table beside her and said, "Since you have found the evidence, I will listen to you. Who is it that wants to harm Brother Chuan?"
"It's Grandma." Aunt Jiang turned her head suddenly, pointed at Su Nuannuan, and said with gritted teeth, "Grandma has tried to kill Chuan'er time and again, and she still wants to be a good person. Last year, it was she who pushed Chuan'er into the water. This time it was even more outrageous. She actually gave Chuan'er ice cream, but Chuan'er ate half a bowl. How could he, a child, eat such a cold thing? Sure enough, he got a stomachache when he went back, and he almost lost his life..."
"You're talking nonsense."
Honglian was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She really didn't dare to say anything about Duan Maochuan falling into the water last year, but she knew very well about Duan Maochuan eating ice cream a few days ago, and it had nothing to do with her grandmother at all. This Aunt Jiang was simply crazy. She dared to slander such a serious matter without any conscience. Who gave her the courage?
"red lotus."
Su Nuannuan interrupted Honglian in a deep voice, looked at Aunt Jiang with clear eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have pointed me out, let me ask you, did you see with your own eyes that Chuan'er fell into the water last year and was it because of me? Or did anyone see it with their own eyes? Why not come out and confront me." She knew this matter in her heart, it was indeed Su Mengnuan who did the evil, and Duan Tingxuan knew it clearly. However, this matter was suppressed that day, so she knew very well that Aunt Jiang could not produce evidence, so she had to reverse black and white. It was true that she traveled through time to Su Mengnuan's body, but she couldn't take all the blame because of this.
Aunt Jiang was stunned. She only said, "Even if no one saw it, everyone knows it was you. You were the only one nearby at the time..." Before she finished, she remembered that what she said was childish. If she continued, she might be beaten. Yin took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and forced herself to calm down. Then she looked at Su Nuannuan and said angrily, "Okay, even if I said something wrong, the last time had nothing to do with grandma, but what about this time? This time, Chuan Ge'er ate the ice cream you gave him. Isn't that right? And you were so cruel that you gave him half a bowl. You...you knew he was only four years old..." (
