Chapter 98: Hair Standing on End

  Chapter 98: Hair Standing on End

  Mrs. Fu felt a wave of dizziness in front of her eyes, but Mrs. Dai's accusation that would take someone's life was far from over.

  "I was shocked to learn of such a dirty trick, and I'm still feeling uneasy. A small servant girl has such great abilities, who knows if other deceitful people have learned from her example. Not to mention anything else, just this set of bowls, one set was given to my son by this servant girl, and the other set is supposedly with you, Elder Sister. I'm afraid there's a problem with it too. Elder Sister, please hurry up and get someone to bring it out so that my wife can take a look."

  Mrs. Dai put on a concerned look, "Who knows how many wicked things this servant has done behind your back? I think it's best to open the warehouse and have all the servants inspect everything thoroughly! To prevent such harmful objects from being carelessly placed again and harming people."

  Mrs. Dai smashed the exquisite set of bowls and plates on the ground with a resentful face.

  Fu's mother was so shocked that she fainted on the spot.

  "Old lady, old lady!" Mrs. Dai also knew this was a family scandal and had already dismissed the servants around her. The only one left in the room was Du Juan, who was standing behind Fu Mu. Seeing Fu Mu collapse to the ground, she quickly changed color and hurriedly helped Fu Mu sit on a chair, rubbing her chest and pinching her people's pulse.

  Mrs. Dai was even more anxious, hastily gathering in front of Mrs. Fu and said with a worried face: "What's to be done? I was originally worried about this kind of dirty thing, it concerns my son and the grandson in my belly, so I'm anxious, who would have thought that it would stimulate Big Sister, it's all because of my impatient temper!"

  Fu Yiyang's face was solemn, but Fu Xuyang sneered continuously. Mrs. Dai's words were laced with hidden meaning, and even if Fu Xuyang really couldn't hear it, he had the precedent of his concubine, Jiaoniang, who was two months pregnant when she died a tragic death, allowing him to see how ruthless and cruel his good mother was.

  If Lady Fu really fainted, how could the show go on? Mrs. Dai clapped her hands: "The wet nurse I brought with me knows medicine, and since there's no time to call a doctor, let her come over and take a look, and also check if there's anything harmful in this room!"

  Fu's mother was so anxious that she fainted and fell to the ground, but fortunately, she soon came to.

  Mrs. Dai saw her eyelids slightly moving, as if she was slowly coming to. She couldn't help but let out a sigh and asked with a worried expression: "Big sister, is there anywhere else on your body that doesn't feel right? Although this matter is really too shocking, you have to hold on for the sake of my son, your niece, your daughter-in-law, and the child in her womb."

  Fu's mother opened her eyes and stared at Mrs. Dai, who was singing and acting, for a long time. At this point, Mrs. Dai should be afraid of her, but instead, she looked back with resentment, hiding from the crowd. Since you dared to harm my daughter, why are you not daring now?!

  Fu's mother was seen by Mrs. Dai with a shocking and frightening expression, this matter is probably going to end badly.

  Fu's mother pushed away the water handed over by Du Juan and said with a serious face: "What do you mean, Auntie? Could it be that you think I would harm my own niece and grandson?"

  Mrs. Dai frowned: "Madam, you're really thinking too much, isn't this kind of dirty thing just the doing of that good-for-nothing servant girl Bai He? Madam is at most just not strict enough with her subordinates, in the future just pay more attention to teaching and guiding those who serve you!"

  Mrs. Fu stared at Mrs. Dai, and then lowered her eyelids: "Perhaps I was thinking too much, but thanks to Auntie's clever maid who knows medicine."

  Mrs. Dai had already taken measures and followed with emotion: "My child's pregnancy was difficult, I know that your family's eldest lady has a nanny in front of her who is good at medicine. She said that the eldest lady's body was not good before, and she even had a miscarriage last year. But in the end, wasn't she brought back to health by that nanny who understood medicine? And then gave birth to a pair of healthy and plump twin boys! I envied her, but couldn't bear to ask for help, so I just complained to you a few times. I also took it to heart, which is why I spent a lot of effort finding a nanny who knows medicine, now don't mention how lucky I am!"

  Mrs. Dai discovered that the gilded and painted bowl had been poisoned by the wet nurse she brought, and Mrs. Chen was certain that it was Madam Fu who wanted to harm her, but she didn't quite believe it.

  Mrs. Dai was well aware that Mrs. Fu wanted the second house to inherit the title. Of course, she hoped that Chen Furen's pregnancy would be safe and sound, best of all a boy, so she wouldn't dig her own grave like this.

  The white heron actively bumped into it, and with one bite, it was determined that the golden-painted bowl was from Fu Mu's private storage, and she was possessed by a ghost to secretly harm Chen Furen. The reason was not because of jealousy towards Chen Furen, but because of resentment towards Fu Mu.

  Fu Mu Ming knew she intended to serve Fu Xue Yang, but instead restrained her, and even smashed a teacup, the shards cutting her face, almost disfiguring her. Later on, she would humiliate her even more. Previously, when she arrived, she had also splashed tea water all over her, White Egret hated Fu Mu Ming to death.

  Now even more with a desperate attitude, willing to sacrifice one's life, must pull the emperor off his horse!

  Mrs. Dai suddenly realized that after being immersed in the mansion for several years, she thought about it and immediately grasped the key to the problem: were the objects with medicinal properties specially prepared by Madam Fu for the first wife?

  The egret was originally Fu Mu's confidant and naturally knew some unspeakable secrets, she didn't speak out, which counted as tacit consent.

  Mrs. Dai remained silent.

  The white egret continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Auntie, don't you want to know who actually plotted against Second Master and Third Madam in the first place?"

  Mrs. Dai was taken aback, "You, you're saying..."

  The white egret hung its head, its eyes flashing, and finally returned to calmness: "That's right, everything was calculated by the old lady, only she originally wanted to calculate the big master and the second aunt, and frame the big wife. Who would have thought that due to a mistake, the ones who ended up being affected were actually the second master and the third wife."

  Originally, Fu Xueyang and Chen Wanqing's rice was already cooked, and the matter of secretly communicating with each other had also come to an end. Madame Dai had always suspected Fu's mother, but one thing she couldn't understand was that Fu's mother doted on Fu Xueyang excessively, how could she do something that would lead to her own downfall?

  Now that Bai Luan had spoken, Mrs. Dai was as if she had been suddenly enlightened, her eyes turned black and she almost fainted.

  The white egret saw Mrs. Dai's precarious situation and knew that she had already believed her words, so she hooked the corner of her mouth.

  Mrs. Dai took a deep breath and stared coldly at Bai He: "You don't think that just because you've spoken nicely, I'll believe you. What's your real intention?"

  Bai Lian remained calm from start to finish, her tone was also very orderly, not at all like a servant who had been caught in the act and was about to be severely punished. Bai Lian raised her head, the hatred in her eyes almost flashed into Madame Dai's eyes. Her lips were already bitten through, unknowingly, "I know I have committed a great mistake, there is no possibility of living, I don't want to live either. But I am not reconciled, my brother died because of Old Lady's death. Since childhood he was closest to me, and said that after saving up money he would redeem me."

  The white egret could no longer hold back, and tears continuously flowed from the corners of her eyes. She tightly closed her eyes, covering up her reddened eyes: "I've finally waited for the opportunity to avenge myself."

  Since the difficult birth of Third Madam, Lady Dai had been harboring a grudge. Now that she knew Third Madam was also being plotted against by Lady Fu back then, just like this matter with Chen's wife, where Bai Yu took the blame on herself, but what Lady Dai hated even more was still Lady Fu.

  If it wasn't for Madam Fu's deliberate intention to harm the Eldest Mistress, how would the bowl and plate that had been soaked in medicine appear in her own private storage? If others were to find out about this matter, wouldn't they all think that the Chen family had raised such a cruel and vicious young mistress?!

  New grudges and old hatreds, Mrs. Dai thought about how to move Fu Mu's muscles and bones, making her unable to swallow her anger. But when it came down to it, she hesitated again. If this time she couldn't move Fu Mu's muscles and bones, the ones who would ultimately suffer would still be her two daughters. Otherwise, they might not get to eat the mutton, but instead stir up a whole body of trouble.

  Seeing this, Bai Lu pursed her lips and said: "Auntie, did you know that our Eldest Madam fell ill yesterday?"

  Mrs. Dai's eyes flashed with a thought, but before she could grasp it, she heard Bai He's words and her gaze turned sharp: "What do you want to say?"

  Bai Yu is now outspoken, daring to speak out. She smiled lightly: "Yesterday, the old lady ordered the second lady to go to Yunruo Temple to burn incense and fulfill her vows. On the way back, she encountered bandits. If it weren't for a noble person's rescue, I'm afraid... Just now, she was so frightened that she fainted from excessive shock."

  "The old lady was originally going with Mrs. Xue and the third wife, but if it wasn't for the third wife coincidentally falling ill and not being able to go, she would have also suffered along with them. The old master is worried about this matter, before Auntie came, several women had come to the old lady crying and complaining that the old master had taken away their husbands from several families, it's unknown for what reason."

  Originally, there was no problem with these two things being said separately, but now that they are connected together, the problems inside have become much bigger.

  Moreover, Mrs. Dai had already hated Fu's mother, so she wouldn't think well of her. With a start, without White Egret needing to explain, Mrs. Dai instantly thought the matter through clearly and felt a chill in her heart. "Let me think again, I must think carefully."

  The white egret spoke in a soft voice, saying words that made Mrs. Dai even more shaken: "The old lady plans to wait until the second wife gives birth to a son, and then take both the third wife's daughter and the newborn son upstairs to raise them together."

  Mrs. Dai slapped her hand on the table, "It's really too much!" Mrs. Dai was now thoroughly enraged and resentful. Since Madam Fu had a black heart and was ruthless, don't blame her for adding insult to injury!

  Although that's the case, Mrs. Dai was still worried about Bai He, and Bai He was also clever, without needing Mrs. Dai to explain, she said: "When the time comes, Old Lady will definitely push all the blame onto my head, even if I were to betray her at the last minute, I wouldn't be able to see tomorrow's sun. Moreover, I want to use Auntie's power to take revenge on Old Lady, when the time comes, I will definitely bite down hard on Old Lady, Auntie can rest assured, since I dared to come to Auntie's side, I haven't thought about retreating."

  This girl has made up her mind to die, and Madame Dai believed more than half of what she said. She then went to the third wife's place to verify it, and after confirming that the incident of going to Yunruo Temple to burn incense was true, she immediately took action and had Bai He taken away in a sedan chair to the upper house.

  That's what led to the previous big show.

  Mrs. Dai was gritting her teeth, ready to move against Madam Fu's tendons and bones, where would she easily let go, pressing and forcing Madam Fu to show her attitude.

  Fu's mother suppressed her dizziness and said, "After all, this matter is the white egret girl being bewitched, fortunately, the second lady and her child are safe and sound, and didn't let the girl's evil plan succeed. Even if we beat her to death, it wouldn't be enough to vent our anger. However, for the sake of accumulating blessings for the second lady's unborn son, it's better not to shed blood, just give her medicine to sell and that's it."

  When Du Juan heard Fu Mu say that she had sold Bai Yue after administering the medicine, her body involuntarily shivered with cold sweat. The old lady was going to sell Bai Yue to such a dirty place, which was not as good as killing her directly.

  The white heron kneeling on the ground suddenly burst out laughing coldly, its laughter sending chills down one's spine. It raised its head and said in a shrill, piercing voice: "Old lady, aren't you afraid that I'll expose all the dirty things you've done? By then, everyone in the city will know what kind of 'bodhisattva' the old lady of the Hou Mansion really is!"

  The shrill voice startled Fu Mu, who jumped in fright. Hurriedly calling Du Juan to cover her mouth, but Bai Yue shouted a sentence "People are doing, heaven is watching, old lady, I'll wait for you in hell!"

  He rushed out the door and hit his head on a pillar. His brains burst out, blood flowed like a river, and his entire head was deformed. The white brains and hot blood mixed together, emitting a faint white smoke. The scene was really gruesome, making people's hair stand on end.

  The maidservant who was standing in the courtyard screamed loudly, "A dead person!"

  Fu's mother held her breath, her throat made two sounds, and her eyes turned black. Her body went limp, and she fainted. Mrs. Dai's face turned pale, covering her eyes, not daring to look.

  Fu Xueyang felt like he had been struck by five thunderbolts and was already scared stupid.

  Even if it was Fu Yiyang, his face didn't look good. It wasn't just because of the miserable scene in front of him, but also because of what Bai Luan said before he died. It was deafening. In the past, when his mother scolded his wife as a poisonous woman and accused her of being barren, one of the seven outs for divorce, and insisted on divorcing her, his wife had also crashed into a pillar to prove her innocence.

  How much longer will we tolerate this? Must it take the destruction of our family and the scattering of our loved ones for us to suddenly awaken? Fu Yiyang asked himself, his eyes deeply gazing at his mother who had collapsed onto a chair, yet he couldn't muster the thought of going to help her.

  Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Fu Yeyang suddenly felt exhausted and had to muster up his energy to clean up the mess.

  Mrs. Dai patted her chest to calm down, then looked at Mrs. Fu who was sitting on the chair unattended and snorted in laughter. Just before that, Mrs. Dai suddenly had an epiphany - there must be more people who wanted to deal with Mrs. Fu, and the one who hated this aunt the most was probably the first wife of the mansion!

  Think about it. That big madam has been married to the Hou Mansion for many years, and her belly hasn't moved at all. Thinking of that bowl of medicine, it's not hard to understand. It's very likely that the miscarriage is also related to this cruel and ruthless older sister!

  But this lady not only became pregnant, but also gave birth to a pair of legitimate children, which explains one thing - she saw through her mother-in-law's calculation, and the aunt who understood pharmacology can explain this point.

  Mrs. Dai endured in silence, hehe, thinking of her elder sister's first-class imperial decree being downgraded to second-class, she didn't know how many aristocratic families were laughing at her, that really was a slap in the face!

  Mrs. Dai thought to herself, if that lady was smart enough, she would know what to do next.

  Main Hall

  Lucky doll closed the map, and the green dot marked with 【White Egret】turned gray. It was also relying on this marker that he knew there were strangers in the Hou Mansion. After shrinking into a small doll, his abilities also shrunk, but he could still become stronger. He clenched his fist.

  The egret has turned gray. He said to Su Ying.

  Su Ying was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She sighed inwardly, suddenly feeling that life had become quite exhausting. Although these things were all manipulated by her behind the scenes, and every step was carefully planned, now that things have happened, she felt somewhat unfulfilled.

  "If it wasn't for you saying that the main NPC couldn't be simply and crudely resolved, I wouldn't have wasted so much effort calculating her. Who knows, maybe she'd already have three feet of grass growing on her grave by now."

  The little brow of the two-month-old baby is frowned, and his eyebrows are still light and shallow, but his hair is black and long. [Obviously you're enjoying yourself, why do you need to use me as an excuse now? Isn't it just that someone has turned gray? She's also gray in her own way, being a person is most important can't be too pretentious.]

  Su Ying remained silent and didn't say anything.

  It's really hard to be a good person, Lucky Doll is extremely grateful that he has a twin brother, and when the time comes, he can just learn from him. Seeing Su Ying 'depressed', he 'encourages' her: [Fu Lao Tai Tai can also be considered an intermediate-level villain boss, you defeated her, what reward do you want?]

  Isn't the backpack still sealed? What reward are you going to give me?

  Lucky Doll: #Can my host be stupid and cute?#

  That was then, this is now; you can't compare the two.

  Su Ying didn't care much and just said "oh" before dropping the subject.

  Lucky doll sparkled with spirit, "Why don't you ask what the reward is?"

  Su Ying cooperated and said: "What's the reward?"

  Luwa still had time to cooperate, Su Ying said: [It's not like I'm going back to be rewarded, what else is there to do.]

  Luwa's face turned red. Speaking of which, it was indeed true, but he carefully asked: "Are you really willing to go back? Not that I'm saying, even if you go back, you might not meet a better man than the target of the attack. To say, with his conditions in modern times, he's definitely a high-rich-handsome guy, and women just want to marry a good husband."

  Haha, have you changed your career to become a matchmaker?

  Luwa said angrily: What matchmaker, I'm just making a rational analysis. Good-hearted advice, you really don't know how to appreciate kindness.

  Su Ying was stunned for a moment, and didn't retort back to Lu Wa. After a while, she said: "You think it's too simple. Look at the current situation, Fu Yiyang's mother is plotting against me with all her might, and I'm also calculating against her with all my might, it's gotten to the point of no return! Just wait and see, this time we'll rip off each other's hypocritical masks, and underneath, everything will be ugly."

  Just like the past year, those good days are just a facade. In reality, it's like a pond, with beautiful flowers and reflections on the surface of the water, looking great, but don't forget that at the bottom of the pond there is still a thick layer of filthy mud, and as soon as you stir it up, the beautiful flowers and reflections are destroyed, and the whole pond becomes murky.

  No matter what happens later, we can't go back to the way things were before. And besides, there's nothing good about our past worth mentioning anyway.

  Su Ying rarely spoke so much with the system, and it was still such a private matter. She seemed to be talking to herself again.

  I didn't think this day would come so early, but what's meant to be will always happen. I've lived for almost thirty years now, and although my experiences have made me a bit extreme in personality, I'm not really heartless. In the past, I too had thought that there would be a man who would love me wholeheartedly, spoil me, and we could rely on each other at night, supporting each other through life's journey.

  Su Ying opened her eyes and quietly stared at the floral pattern embroidered on the canopy.

  I am not a robot, I can't freely control my emotions, and I really don't have no feelings.

  I don't know why, but Luwa felt like he had been shot in the knee. He decided to counterattack: "Others are highly intelligent and have human emotions, please don't randomly fire your map cannon."

  He hummed twice. [Little brother, you're just too sentimental and think too much. No, you're so hesitant, could it be that you really like the target of attack?]

  Lucky doll is dropping bombs again, [Since that's the case, you let him like you so much that you can't do without him, besides, that old lady isn't dead yet, why think about it so seriously! Hypocrite! Hmph!]

  【Ah-ha! 】Lucky Doll suddenly shouted, then said in a mysterious tone: 【Do you still remember that in the game, there's a type of Gu insect. Men who eat the male Gu will only feel affection and desire for women who have eaten the female Gu, but they won't be able to get it up for other women. If you ask me, I can think of a way to reward you with this pair of Gu insects~】

  In the end, his tone became very arrogant.

  Luwa quickly realized that he shouldn't mention the reward, in case Su Ying would investigate the sealed backpack. So, he thought of changing the subject and cleverly came up with a new topic: "You don't need to be so sad, you can just change your target. That person, Zhongrui Wangye, isn't he completely infatuated with you? You can just turn around and throw yourself into his arms."

  After his fuss, the sad atmosphere that had been built up was instantly dispersed. Su Ying's mouth twitched, she really didn't know what to do with her own affairs being analyzed by this high-level intelligent system.

  She must have been talking nonsense because she didn't wake up yet, let's just skip it.

  Fu Yiyang's footsteps were heavy as he returned to the main house from the upper room. He stood in front of Su Ying's bed for a full minute, and for some reason, Su Ying didn't dare to breathe loudly, flattening her breathing as if she was asleep. However, that scorching gaze almost scorched her.

  After hearing the footsteps fade away, she opened her eyes and listened with her ear to the side, hearing Fu Yeyang's low voice outside, instructing Lu Hui to open the warehouse. She pursed her lips, believing that Gui would handle it well.

  Su Ying couldn't help but smile to herself as she thought about this. Previously, she had thought that those messy things were just a whim, but when it came to dealing with Fu Mu, that old hypocrite, she wouldn't give up so easily. The rest depended on how Fu Yeyang would choose to act next.

  ps:

  One day one sells cute (=^^=)
