Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 79

[Chapter 78]

The cat jumped to the ground, leaned over to smell it, “meowed”, and when he stuck out his tongue to lick it, Little Joe leaned over, picked it up, and then sent it to the door and let it go.

When she raised her head, she glanced at Jiang Mi, who was waiting in the corridor, took her look into her eyes, and then turned quietly and returned to the house.

The room fell silent.

Zhu Shi looked at the lump of noodles on the ground mixed in the middle of the broken bowl, and his face was difficult to see. Raising his eyes violently, looking at Xiao Qiao angrily, as if he was about to have a seizure, and when he forcibly endured, Zhong Mi suppressed the doubts in his heart and rushed forward to hit the round field first: “This cat is really naughty, and it is also spoiled, and it is also drilled in the hand, only to see that it actually jumped out and just overturned the tray.” Mrs. No wonder.
Madame
Xu glanced at Xiao Qiao. Seeing that she still looked calm, as if she had nothing to do, she didn’t even explain anything to Zhu Shi, and I felt strange in my heart about her abnormal reaction. I just didn’t think deeply. Noticing that Zhu Shi’s face was extremely ugly, he wanted to have a seizure, only about in front of him, this was not the way he dared, he sighed darkly, and said in his heart, “After all, the mentality is still biased towards narrowness”, and then he said: “It’s just a thing that has no flexibility, and when you hit it, I took your heart.” Next time I want to eat, I’ll ask you to make it! I’m tired in the morning, so you go back first. Zhu Shi secretly hated

Xiao Qiao in her heart, suspecting that she was deliberately letting the cat overturn her own tray and not allowing herself to perform filial piety in front of Lady Xu. Only Madame Xu said this, and the tone clearly carried some partial meaning, and it was even more indignant. His face tried to hold back, answered, retreated and went out, leaving with Jiang Mi, who kept turning back.

Zhong Mi called the servant woman in and collected the residue on the ground along with the soup and water. He served Madame Xu himself and then lay back on the bed.

Xiao Qiao watched from the sidelines, and when the servant woman put away and was about to go out, he said to Zhong Mi, “Can Ammu borrow a step to speak?” Zhong Mi

glanced at her and responded. After telling Mrs. Xu, the two of them left the room.

As soon as he left the room, Xiao Qiao ordered the sweeping servant woman to bring the cold noodles of the leftover soup that had been swept up and followed her. Zhong Mi was confused in her heart, and she didn’t ask any questions, only to follow Xiao Qiao to a clearing in the courtyard. Little Joe ordered the servant woman to put down the stump and go first. There was no one around, and Fang said, “Ammu must have just seen it, but in fact, I deliberately released the cat and knocked over the tray in Madame’s hand.”

Zhong Mi naturally looked out. At that time, although I was also confused, I still came forward to play the round field. Seeing that she took the initiative to mention it, she said, “Why is the lady like this?”

Xiao Qiao said straightly, “I suspect that there is something unclean in this soup noodle.” Zhong Mi

was slightly shocked. Looking at Xiao Qiao: “Does the lady know what you mean by this?”

Little Qiao took a deep breath and said, “I naturally know.” I’m not very sure. However, since there were doubts, out of the safety of my grandmother, I knew that this move was inappropriate, and I had to do it first. Zhong Mi

looked at her for a moment, her expression gradually relaxed, and she nodded, “What Lady Jun did is it.” But anyone who doubted, whether it was clean or not, could not be handed to the old lady. The female monarch is also a very disciplined person on weekdays. Since he shot me today and summoned me again, I think there must be a reason for it. Lady, please speak.

Xiao Qiao said, “Ammu also knows that since I entered the door, I have not been pleased with my mother-in-law, and the Ginger Mi beside her is even more instigating my mother-in-law to target me.” I also do not hide from Ammu, I know that I am from the Qiao family, qiao Wei and the two families have a grudge in the past, the so-called defensive heart is indispensable, so I let my nursing mother make friends with Huang Mi in the east house, entrust her to pay more attention to Jiang Mi’s actions on weekdays, if there is an abnormality, then come to tell each other, and make preparations as early as possible. Just a few days ago, Huang Mi came to report that Jiang Mi had quietly left the mansion through the back door and gone to the Li Xianghou Mansion in the west of the city, and the side door did not go, but also entered through the back door, but the tea kung fu came out and walked strangely. I inquired about it, and my mother-in-law and the township lady should not have much contact on weekdays. I was taken to the attention of the marquis. It was this morning that she received the news that Madame Xianghou had a strange snake venom from her own poisonous country in her hand, and she could be killed with a single drop. Thinking that Jiang Mi might be secretly communicating with mrs. Hou of the township, I was uneasy in my heart, and hurried back home, and when I came to this side, I happened to see Jiang Mi outside the door, and I saw that my mother-in-law was handing food to my grandmother, lest I have a bad feeling, I was in a hurry, and I didn’t think much about it, so I carried the cat out and overturned the tray.

With Xiao Qiao’s words, Zhong Mi’s expression became more and more solemn.

Xiao Qiao said, “Ammu, I said that too.” I don’t know if Jiang Mi went to the township mansion to take snake venom back, and even if she did, I don’t know who she wanted to pour the medicine on. It’s just my instincts! Therefore, I did not dare to speak up in front of my grandmother, but only called Ammu out to speak. Regardless of whether this bowl of noodles is clean or not, this ginger mi, in the future, Ammu must pay attention to it! Zhong Yuan

stared at the stump of noodles on the ground that had been collected in the dustpan, suddenly took it, walked quickly to the bowl where the golden carp was raised in the corner of the courtyard, and poured the residue noodles together with the soup.

Xiao Qiao stepped forward, held his breath, and looked at Jiang Mi with his eyes wide open.

The goldfish in the tank saw the feeding, at first swam to compete for food, after a moment, the swimming became sluggish, and then a moment, one, two, five or six big goldfish that had been raised for many years slowly floated on the surface and turned over their bellies.

Xiao Qiao glanced at Zhong Mi.

Zhong Mi stared dead at the goldfish with a turned belly, her face suddenly turned iron blue, her eyes were like anger, Huo Ran turned around and quickly ran to Madame Xu’s room.

……

Jiang Mi followed Zhu Shi back to the East House, and her mood was actually extremely anxious.

She never imagined that seeing that bowl of soup noodles was about to be delivered to Madame Xu’s hand, she would be knocked to the ground by a cat that suddenly flew out.

Remembering the glance that Qiao Nu threw at herself when she sent the cat out, she couldn’t help it, and the nerves in her body tensed.

It was impossible for Qiao Nu to know the inside of this bowl of noodles.

But why was it so coincidental that at this moment, the cat she was holding in her arms flew out, just to spoil the carefully planned event?

According to the previous agreement, outside the back door, there should be someone waiting for her to send a message at this moment.

She felt restless, her back blowing like a wind. I want to go out quickly and hand out the message. Zhu Shi kept talking to her, scolding Lady Qiao in front of her for her sinister intentions, and could not see Madam Xu treating herself for half a minute.

Jiang Mi resisted the persuasion of her heart, and finally calmed Down Zhu Shi a little and sent her back to her room. When he was hurrying to the back door, he heard a series of footsteps in the courtyard, looked up, and saw that Zhong Mi had led seven or eight mother-in-laws in.

Zhong Mi stood there, two eyes like icicles full of barbs, from head to toe, coldly glanced at her, and did not say anything, the two servant women behind her came up and caught Jiang Mi who was frozen in the doorway with her backhand.

Zhu Shi was in the room, out of his mind for a moment, suddenly heard a chaotic footsteps coming from the courtyard, it seemed that a lot of people came, their hearts were disturbed, they got up and were about to go out to reprimand, when they suddenly saw the door being pushed open, and Zhong Mi appeared at the door.

Zhu Shi was stunned: “What are you here to do?” Zhong Mi stared at Zhu Shi and said, “The

old lady asked me to invite you over, I have something to ask.” Chu

shi unknown so. Cain felt that something should be going wrong against him. She immediately thought of the repressive doll hidden in her room. My heart jumped suddenly. But on second thought, this matter is secret and it is impossible for people to know. Finally, he reluctantly calmed his mind, slowly got up, and smiled: “Do you know what is going on?” Zhong Mi

said lightly, “Madame will know when she goes.” Zhu Shi

was worried about going to the north house again, and as soon as the people left, Zhong Mi glanced at the room and ordered the next person: “Bring all the people in this room to look.” Search carefully, and not a corner can be spared. “Don’t

be silent.”

Finally she said this.

……

Chu arrived at the North House. At first, they were not allowed to enter the main house.

She was taken by the servant woman to an ear room next to her. Waited a long time. Gradually, I felt impatient. Several times he got up to go out, but he was stopped by the servant woman at the door.

When he was stopped for the third time, Zhu Shi finally got angry: “Such a big guts! Could it be that my son is not a male prince in the Wei mansion? So slow to treat me!

“Madame please come.”

A servant woman who was waiting at Madame Xu’s side suddenly came over and said.

Zhu Shi stared at the servant woman who had just stopped him from going out, and went to the main house.

When she entered, she saw that Only Madame Xu was sitting on the bed in the room, and her eyes were closed as if she were settled.

Zhu Shi stopped at the case a few steps away from her, looked at her for a moment, and did not dare to speak first for a moment. After waiting for a while, I finally couldn’t hold back and carefully asked, “I don’t know what happened when my mother-in-law summoned me?”
Madame
Xu slowly opened her eyes and stared at Zhu Shi with one eye, never saying a word.

Zhu’s heart was pounding.

“If you don’t know, my wife will tell you.” Zhong Mi, take everything in and show it to her.
Madame
Xu said lightly.

Zhong Mi immediately responded and placed something on the ground in front of Zhu Shi.

On the left is a plate containing dead fish, and on the right is a doll. The puppet’s eyebrows are stained with a drop of dark blood, which looks strange and gloomy.

Zhu Shi glanced at the doll, and his face immediately turned white.

“These fish have been kept in the courtyard tank for several years. Only then did I pour into the jar the dragon’s whisker noodles you had brought in the morning, and the fish was poisoned and turned white.

“This witch doll was also found in your house, and it is exactly the old lady’s birthday!”

“You murdered the old lady in such a way.” The sinister intentions are simply unbelievable! Zhong Mi’s

voice came word by word, cold.

Zhu Shi’s eyes rolled round, his gaze moved from the several fish that had already died to the puppets, and then from the dolls to the dead fish, and so on several times, the whole person began to tremble, shaking more and more severely, almost unable to stand on his legs, suddenly issued a sharp cry, and slammed to the ground.

“Not me!” Mother-in-law! How could the noodles I sent poison the goldfish? Must be mistaken! The birthday on this doll, I was also framed! I don’t want to be a mother-in-law in town! How dare I be against your mother-in-law! I didn’t want to hurt your mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you have to believe me—”

Zhu Shi kept calling.

Madame Xu’s face did not see the slightest anger, and she looked calm, only looking at her with an almost compassionate look.

“I didn’t make this noodle!” The poison in the face is not mine! It was Jiang Mi who told me to come to the noodles for my mother-in-law to eat!

Zhu Shi seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly said, “Quickly call Jiang Mi over!” She must know! She can testify for me! Zhong Mi

said, “Jiang Mi just confessed, the poison in this face was the one you asked her to go to Lady Li Xianghou to get it in the face, intending to murder the old lady.” Jiang Mi also confessed, you are afraid that if you can’t poison the old lady, you instructed your niece to go to the great witch to ask for this puppet to cast a spell to suppress it! What more can you say? Zhu Shiru was

struck by lightning, his face was miserable, he couldn’t catch his breath, and he actually fell to the ground. After falling down to regain consciousness, he cackled twice in his throat and hissed, “Let that old godly woman come, I’m going to tear her up!” She framed me so much! She told me to give it to my mother-in-law! I remember clearly that on the top of the doll was the birthday of the qiao girl! Not mother-in-law you! That old godly woman hurt me!

Zhu Shi suddenly seemed to be blessed to the heart, and a bone rose from the ground.

“I didn’t expect to suppress Qiao Nu, but it was the old godly woman who threw me!” I don’t dare to harm your mother-in-law! Mother-in-law, you have to find out for me, you can’t teach me to bear this crime…”

When Madame Xu heard the words in her mouth that she was supposed to suppress Qiao Nu, a shadow flashed in her eyes.

She flicked her hand in the direction of the door.

Zhong Mi will understand. The two servant women quickly entered and forcibly put down Zhu Shi, who was still rolling on the ground and shouting injustice.

She was taken away, and the aftersound of the call seemed to be still wrapped around the beam of the room, circling for a long time.

Madame Xu sat there fixedly, without uttering a word. Suddenly, he closed his eyes and his body shook slightly.

Zhong Mi kept looking at her, and when she saw the situation, she hurried up and held on to her.

“Help you lie down!” Please Le Ling Doctor come! ”

……

At night, the Wei Mansion still looked peaceful.

Le Ling Doctor came during the day.

Lady Xu woke up, and Zhong Mi served her a few sips of water. It was as if the spirit was slowly beginning to recover.

The cat curled up on the edge of her bed, still drowsy with her eyes closed.

Madame Xu raised her hand to touch the cat and asked Zhong Mi, who was next to her: “Before Jiang Mi committed suicide in fear of sin, she still insisted that she was instructed by zhu shi?” Zhong Mi

said, “The maid has already been sentenced to death.” Only she was convinced at the time that she was being instructed by madame. The maid also sent someone to detain Zheng Shu, and Zheng Shu also recruited, and it was only after listening to the instructions of the lady that she sought the method of suppression by the great witch. “It was

the negligence of the. I didn’t expect that Jiang Mi would touch the wall and die so quickly. Zhong Mi blamed herself.

Madame Xu’s hand stayed on the cat’s back for a moment, and suddenly said, “You say, with Zhu’s guts, she dared to murder me like this?” Zhong Mi

hesitated and said, “Jiang Mi confessed that she was instructed by her wife to obtain snake venom from the hands of the woman of the township prince surnamed Li.” It was just that the maid listened to what the lady said, and it seemed that Jiang Mi had the intention of playing with the lady in the palm of her hand. Seeing Madame Xu look over, she said, “The maid sent someone to detain the wife of the township marquis surnamed Li during the day, but after she went, she did not know that the woman was late this morning, and the servant woman in the family at first thought that she was asleep, and then entered the room, and saw that her eyes were open, and her mind seemed to be clear, but her hands and feet were paralyzed, and her mouth could not speak, as if she was suffering from wind disease.” Busy asking a healer. The healer was helpless. Now he lay like a living dead.
Madame
Xu frowned: “Will there be such a coincidence?” “The

also felt a coincidence. Yuyang Ling has been ordered to investigate the case. Mrs. Xu’s

hand slowly continued to touch the cat. The cat woke up, stretched out, jumped out of bed, and went out the door.

Mrs. Xu looked at the back of the cat, and a soft color gradually appeared in her eyes.

“What about my granddaughter-in-law?”

She asked suddenly.

Zhong Mi said, “In the evening, the old lady took the medicine and went to sleep, and the lady was still with her.” I was persuaded to go back not long ago, indicating that I would come back early. “If

she hadn’t come in time in the morning and was alert and vigilant, I’m afraid I would have killed my fierce and foolish daughter-in-law at this moment!”

Madame Xu was distracted for a moment and said.

“The old lady wants to drive some, don’t get angry and hurt yourself.”

Madame Xu slowly shook her head: “You don’t know, what kind of anger do I have?” Although he has lost his children and grandchildren and his family is unfortunate, but now that he is old, not only does he have a son, but he also has to be such a granddaughter-in-law. Where there is a loss, there must be gain, and the heavenly path is always reincarnated. I should be content. ”

……

The day began in the morning, one after another, and so many things happened.

Little Joe dragged his tired legs back to the room, took a shower, threw himself on the bed, and closed his eyes.

The life and death of the grandmother in the past life was finally crossed without danger.

After this disaster, in the future, grandmother and Zhong Mi will definitely be alert. The black hand that reached the Wei family’s home, if you want to do it again, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy.

Although the result is still regrettable, but in the future, at least do not always worry about the grandmother will be killed.

Little Joe was actually satisfied.

She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
