Chapter 179
When everyone turns around, they see King Yu and his wife walking into the courtyard with Rong Xiang Gu.
Rong Xiang Gu hands over Xiang Feng to Zhong Xi and walks over to Liu, “I’ve already sent someone back to the Eldest Princess’ residence, saying that madam suddenly got phlegm in the past few days, and just now a breath didn’t come up, and she has already died.”
“Are you crazy?!” Liu’s eyes were wide open, with a look of disbelief.
“Am I crazy? Mrs. Liu, you’ve been playing this poisonous trick of leaving your son behind, with nine lives in your hands, how can you sleep at night after all these years?”
“What?” Not to mention Zhong Xi, even the Duke of England was stunned.
Rong Xiang Gu handed out a sheet of paperwork to his father, all of which were previously collected testimony from the firefighting team, bone-setter, magician, Rong’s wife, and Laifu’s parents.
Rong Xiang Gu recounted in a loud voice: “Back then, when my mother entered the house, she was not interested in backyard rivalries, and Aunt Liu’s wells did not interfere with river water. One of them was favored, and the other was in charge of the family, so there was nothing wrong with each other. It was the lady who instructed Aunt Liu’s wife, Cui Hai’s wife, to make trouble and provoke the relationship between Aunt Liu and my mother.
Later, my mother once again pregnant, because not sit firmly in the baby, did not announce, the lady bought a bone-setter, know the news, and told Aunt Liu, said my mother is very popular, if a son, I am afraid that the title of the Duke’s House will fall to our house. Aunt Liu then moved to a crooked mind. Cui Hai’s family took the opportunity to find a magician to give her the idea of setting fire to my mother’s yard, so as to create rumors that she and the child in her womb are unknown, so as to take this opportunity to send my mother to the manor.”
The British Duke listened, looking over the testimonies, and from time to time, looked at Rong Xiang Gu with a grave expression on his face. Back then, he had always thought that it was Aunt Liu who had burned Chu to death in order to calculate the title, and felt that she was incomparably vicious before he thunderously executed her. Right now, it seemed that Aunt Liu was just being utilized and took the blame.
Rong Xiang Gu breathed heavily, he had been carrying the burden of being the son of a murderer for more than ten years, and had lived for more than ten years, at this moment, he was both somewhat relieved and heartbroken for his mother.
Rong Xiang Gu continued, ”After using Aunt Liu, madam sent Cui Hai’s family to buy off the maid in my mother’s courtyard, and on the night of the arson, she drugged our tea. My mother and I could have run out early that night, but we were all weak, and my poor mother was awake and powerless to protect me, and was burned alive ……”
Speaking here, Rong Xiangmian finally couldn’t help herself, biting her lip and bursting into tears. Zhou Xian Yang immediately hugged her and wiped her tears, telling her to stop talking.
Rong Xiang Gu continued, “In order to ensure that Aunt Chu had no chance of survival, Madam also sent Lai Fu’s father to go ahead and set fire to the temple on Yan Qing Street to lure the fire-fighting team away. When they finished putting out the fire in Yanqing Street and then came over, the water reserves were all used up, and they had to temporarily fetch water from the lake, delaying the time to put out the fire.
Madam, you are really so calculating and vicious. Do you know that when Yanqing Street caught fire, it burned to death three members of a family who were living on loan in the temple. Plus my mother, my fourth sister’s mother, and those subordinates that you silenced, nine lives, you really are so vicious!”
Hearing this, the Duke of England’s wife’s face turned blue and said, “You are in league with Zhong Xi! You several lowly concubines and the lowly seeds born from them have joined together to slander me! With these few pieces of paper, you dare to throw dirt on me?”
Zhou Xian Yang couldn’t bear to hear anyone insulting each other, and immediately said, “The witnesses are all here, so if you have any questions, you can summon them for questioning immediately. In fact, there is no need to ask them, Xi granny ……” Zhou Xian Yang stared at the lady behind the Xi mother has panicked, “you two couples is the lady most capable of trusting people, even Auntie Zhong’s affairs are also you do, you are the most aware of the State Duke wife is not wrongly accused! .”
Xi mother glanced at Yuhang, heart suddenly empty: before because of the Duke of State House dowry to Yuhang House of the estate had an accident, her two sons were recommended by the lady, in the Daqiuzhuang steward it! Now, her life is in Yü Wang’s hands, she realized why Yü Wang and his wife agreed to be so dry.
At that moment, gritted her teeth, kneeled down and cried: “Slave girl confessed, these things are true, slave girl all know! Just slave girl since childhood to serve Mrs., heart only loyal to her, do not dare to have second thoughts, more dare not reveal her privacy ah. The original ones, have been silently gone …… we do the slave, with only ants is no different ah ……”
Xi mother confessed as much as she could, and Steward Xi also reacted, and also confessed the causes and consequences of Zhong Xi’s boat accident.
The British Duke crushed the paperwork in his hand into a ball: “Well well well, I raised a bunch of jackals in the mansion, but I didn’t even realize it until today! You ……” he pointed at Liu, his eyes full of indignation, “Since you joined the government these years, I treat you not thin, why do you want to do these things that hurt the sky and reason?”
“Treat me well?” Liu hissed and questioned, “First I had a child with Liu’s bitch, and then I brought back Chu’s foxy child, where have you treated me well?”
“Liu, it was your parents who said that you had not given birth for a long time, and took the initiative to pick from your mother’s family relatives, or it was you who spoke to me, and only then did I nod my head and allow her to enter the house! If you don’t like it, why do you have to sympathize? Virtuous on the outside, but harboring mischief on the inside.”
“If I don’t, do I have to wait for my father-in-law and mother-in-law to raise noble concubines for you outside? I have no choice in the matter!”
“In the end, you are still using Liu for yourself. Since you used her, why did you put her to death! She has never offended you in the end.”
“It’s true that she hasn’t explicitly offended me, but if she dares to take the stewardship over, don’t blame me for not being able to tolerate her!”
“The stewardship was granted to her by me! You gave birth to Xiang Zhi and had a postpartum disorder, I saw that your body wasn’t well and wanted you to recuperate, that’s why I took the initiative to ask her to take care of the household, if you want to hate her for this, why talk to me! I will naturally let you continue to manage the house.”
Liu sneered, “If I say it, will you answer? Besides, you were in love with Chu at that time, do you still have me in your eyes?”
“Strong words! Although Chu was favored, she was ultimately a concubine and never competed with you. After I inherited the title, the first time for you to please seal the title of the first grade enjoin, the blessing of your honor, full of respect from the house, which point is less than yours?”
“Do you think that the title of a first rank grant and the title of Duchess of State is enough? Is it enough to make up for the humiliation I have suffered all these years?” Liu hissed, “You simply don’t understand!”
The Duke of England had an incomprehensible look on his face, Liu suddenly pointed at Rong Xiangshi and Zhou Xian Yang, “Look at how your son-in-law treats your daughter. A concubine’s maid, married over a year ago with no movement in her stomach, and when the palace wanted to give him a side consort, he dared to disobey. What about you! Your parents are secretly dissatisfied with me, do you dare to disobey their words for me? If you also protect your wife like Yu Wang, why would I have to go out of my way?”
The Duke of England looks at the two children and realizes what Liu is so angry about, he says frankly, “I can’t do what Yü Wang did, but what about you? Have you ever treated your husband with sincerity as we met? Yuhang was seriously injured and almost died, Xiangmian couldn’t wait to follow him, taking care of him day in and day out. When I lost my arm and resigned, how did you treat me? I only cared about my second brother’s family, and said that he had become a super first-ranking general of the country, overshadowing us. Blame me for my carelessness before the battle, became a cripple, and lost a great future ……
Chu’s acquaintance with me, I do not know my identity, and do not mind that I have a disability, she took me as a horse tamer in the North Hazel paddock, accompanied me through the most difficult days, she is in my heart is a thousand times better than you. You are a profit-oriented person, what more do you want to treat each other with sincerity? If it wasn’t for my parents’ decision, I wouldn’t have married you at all!”
Listening to her husband’s accusations, Liu’s body trembled, her eyes red, and she couldn’t say another word. Rong Xiang Gu silently wept at the side, grieving for her mother, grieving that she was a pawn in her life, none of the Duke and Duchess of State treated her as a person.
Family matters are so entangled that it’s hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. Zhou Xian Yang sighed helplessly, drying the tears of Xiangmian, said: “Mrs., I do not care how much aggrieved and resentful you are, I only know that everyone in the world is aggrieved, but there are not a few as vicious as you are, murdering people’s lives. Today, the life of Mother Xiangmian, and the other eight lives, it is time to settle the score.”
Liu then realizes that death is near, she turns around and begs King Yu, “Xiangshi is about to give birth, let me go and look after her for a few days. After she passes these few days safely, I can come and suffer death.”
“You want to see your own daughter give birth safely? Why don’t you think about the fact that Xiangmian’s mother won’t even have the chance to watch her grow up and marry?”
After saying that, Zhou Xian Yang made a gesture and Xiao Nan immediately stepped forward to take hold of the Duke of England’s wife and drag her to the Rong Clan’s ancestral hall.
The Duke of England looked at Zhou Xian Yang: “This is my family matter, it’s not the Yulong Family’s turn to interfere with how to dispose of it.” Saying so, he ordered his beloved steward to fetch a piece of medicine.
Rong Xiangxian stood out and looked at the Duke of State, “Father, nine lives, including my mother, four people were burned to death by fire, a miserable death, I must not cheapen her and let her die so easily.”
“How …… do you want it?”
“I know,” Rong Xiangmian long sigh of relief, “she is a first grade ennobled lady, can not die too tragic and ugly, there are still relatives to mourn, if the rumor of what, for the British Duke House is not good to hear. You can rest assured, I will ensure that she died in a dignified manner, and will not ruin the reputation of the British Duke’s House for these three generations.”
The Duke of England saw that she was so certain, and looking at King Yu’s look of support to the end, he knew that this matter was not up to him to say. In this family, he was no longer the parent who said one thing or another.
He could only watch as Consort Yü Wang slowly walked towards the ancestral hall.
“Fourth girl, you’re going to kill someone at the ancestral hall?” The British Duke was incredulous, and Rong Xiangmian turned back to smile, “My mother and Aunt Liu’s tablets are inside. Let them see how we avenged them.”
