After all, Qingliu was a young girl who had not yet left the court. When she heard this, she was so ashamed and angry that she blushed and started crying. She covered her face with her hands and said, "I didn't, I didn't."

"Then do you want to ask the second young master?" the mother-in-law asked.

Qingliu didn't dare to speak anymore.

The eldest lady then turned to Mrs. Wei: "Do you know what I hate about Qingliu? She clearly knows that she is the wife you left for the second young master, but she eats the food in the bowl and looks at the food in the pot, and even remembers the prince.

Tian is showing off in front of the Crown Prince, trying to play with the two brothers. Second Madam, do you want to watch the two brothers turn against each other over such a woman? I don't care if I don't beat her to death for such a woman.

Nowadays, the Internet is wide open and I just want to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. What else do you want? Don’t forget, this family is not in charge of you but me."

As she said this, she fiercely ordered her mother-in-law: "Lock them in the woodshed and deprive them of water and food. They will be executed at noon tomorrow."

After saying this, she led Aunt Zhou and others away without even looking at Mrs. Wei.

Several big-bodied women pushed Qingliu and his wife into the woodshed, locked the door, and stood guard at the door. Their eyes kept wandering over Mrs. Wei's face, as if they were worried that Mrs. Wei would come and rob her.

Similar.

Grandma Li followed Wei all the way, lowering her sense of presence and not daring to say anything at this time.

Mrs. Wei was angry and annoyed by what the eldest lady said, so she turned around and shouted: "Let's go back." But she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart——

It turned out that it was because Qingliu seduced the eldest young master that Mrs. Zhu was so angry. Not only did she not lie to her, but she also refused to let Qingliu go.

Everyone has negative scales, and the eldest young master is Zhu's negative scale. No one knows how much Zhu values ​​​​Zhao Jingli than Wei.

The Zhu family wanted to revitalize the Hou family, and their hope lay in the generation of their children. As the eldest son, Zhao Jingli naturally had great expectations.

Over the years, Zhu has been paying a lot of money to hire martial arts masters and fellow Jinshi to teach her children martial arts. She plans to send Zhao Jingli to an elder when he is sixteen years old. As long as the elder who is a high-ranking official takes a fancy to Zhao Jingli's ability and martial arts, he will recommend him.

If he takes up an official position before the emperor or in the military camp, Zhao Jingli's future will be bright.

Once he has a position and marries a good wife with a comparable or even outstanding family background, then Zhao Jingli will definitely be better than his father and uncles in the future.

But if Zhao Jingli falls into trouble with women and his reputation spreads, not only will the elder not give him a chance, but it will also be difficult to get a good relationship. His whole life will be ruined.

So it is not unreasonable for Zhu to be angry about Qingliu.

After figuring out the reason, Wei let out a breath.

As long as Mrs. Zhu doesn't doubt her, it's really not a big deal for Guan Qingliu's family of three to spend the night together. If she acts too nervous, she will arouse Mr. Zhu's suspicion.

With this in mind, she returned to the second room, washed herself again, and then fell asleep.

The eldest lady didn't sleep all night. She went back to her room in the main house and blew out the lights and sat there for a while. When everything was quiet, she went to a room at the back through the back door, accompanied by Aunt Zhou and Cai Die.

Mrs. Liu, who had just come out to arrest Qingliu and imprison her in Chaimen, was already waiting there as ordered by the eldest lady.

The wicks of the lamps in the house were pinched so thin that there was only a faint light. The surrounding doors and windows were blocked with curtains. People outside could hardly see the lights on in the house.

"You and Aunt Yue go to Chaimen to interrogate the Qingliu and Li Mu families separately. How many shameful things they have done for the Wei family are interrogated. Tell them that if they tell the truth, I will have someone beat them lightly tomorrow.

, after the beating, they quietly let their family leave before dawn, and also gave them one hundred taels of silver. They asked Grandma Yue to record what they said, and asked them to put their fingerprints on it. "

"Yes." Mrs. Liu responded.

The eldest lady did not say what would happen if the two women did not confess. As someone who had been executed in the palace for many years, Mrs. Liu naturally knew what to do.

Mrs. Liu asked: "If they ask about Grandma Li, how should I answer?"

"If they are willing to say it, I can let Nanny Li leave the Hou Mansion privately. As for whether Nanny Li is willing to leave, and whether she can leave, I can't guarantee it."

Mrs. Liu nodded, and seeing that the eldest lady had no other instructions, she bowed and left.

After Mrs. Liu left, the eldest lady did not leave the room, but rested directly on the soft couch in the room. Aunt Zhou and Caidi found their own places in the room to take a nap.

After about an hour, Mrs. Liu came back and handed the eldest lady a piece of paper.

The eldest lady looked at it and saw that there were many trivial things listed on it, but she didn't say anything about the child.

She closed her eyes in disappointment, thought about it, and felt that she had thought too much.

According to Wei's suspicious temperament, if Grandma Li's family knew about her changing children, she would have silenced them long ago. How could she let them live until now?

"Send their family to the vacant courtyard under my name. I have asked the Zhu family to send someone to guard there. Come back as soon as you send them there. Be careful when entering and leaving, and don't let anyone find you." The eldest lady warned.

.

Presuming that she was going to take action tonight, the eldest lady had already replaced the doorkeepers and night watchmen with her own confidants.

Moreover, because the second master and the third master were concubines, the family backgrounds of the Wei family and the Su family were not very good before, and the two families did not dare to separate their families. Therefore, the entire Hou Mansion has not had many conflicts over the years, and the servants are a bit silly and sweet.

.If there is some conspiracy at this time, not many people will be able to discover it.

They were afraid that the Wei family would become suspicious and send someone to keep an eye on them.

"Also, you guys have been watching for the past half of the night, so let Mr. Wu and Mrs. Qian watch for the rest of the night. Give them some medicine before you leave, and then take them away after they fall asleep." The eldest lady said again.

"Yes." Mrs. Liu's little eyes sparkled with excitement when she heard this instruction.

Na Wu Da was very close to the third master some time ago, and Mrs. Qian also had a private friendship with the second roommate, Aunt Li. She had already reminded the eldest lady to replace these two people. They were both gatekeepers and night patrollers.

People are responsible for the safety of the inner courtyard. With these two people with external intentions, the inner courtyard is no longer in the hands of the eldest lady.

However, the eldest lady listened to her suggestion and remained still.

I didn't expect to be waiting here.

"Let's go back to bed." Watching Mrs. Liu leave, the eldest lady got up and left the room.

When Mrs. Wei gets up early tomorrow morning and sees that no one is here, she will definitely have to start a fight with her. Although she can push Wu and Mrs. Qian, a quarrel is inevitable. She needs to recuperate now.

Well, tomorrow morning we have to get the third wife, Su Shi, up, so it would be good to have more than one person to block the gunfire.

…

Although Xu Xi didn't see the excitement in the Hou Mansion, she still knew about it when Qing Feng came to deliver something to her the next morning.

"Madam is amazing."

Xu Xi really admired these housewives for their powerful methods. The eldest lady, who was usually extremely decent, never expected that her methods could be so awesome.
