Chapter 400 Confession
After the little girl finished speaking, she knew that she had answered wrongly, and all of a sudden prostrated herself on the ground and cried, “Slave girl deserves to die.”
There were several subordinates standing in the room, besides He’s two maids, there were also three maids of the Grand Princess.
The reason why the little girl answered was because she happened to be standing outside the beaded curtain. She could vaguely see the scene in the side room, and the Grand Princess could also vaguely see her. She did not dare not answer, but did not dare to say what the words of the first lady, a moment of urgency said “I do not know”.
As soon as she did so, the Grand Princess looked at her with a strange expression on their faces.
The other two maids hurriedly went to the bead curtain outside kneeling down, was about to report, He’s got up and said, “mother-in-law, no big deal. My daughter-in-law said that the old master had returned and wanted to meet more with mother-in-law and father-in-law, so she turned around and left.”
These were the words He thought of to respond to the Grand Princess.
He was furious. She dared to say that about Zheng Tingting because she was thinking that she would put off the words herself, and as long as the Grand Princess believed it, it would be impossible for those maids to pass those words back to the Grand Princess.
As for Zheng Tingting, she is just the grand niece of the next room, she is the first daughter-in-law, and it is not good to listen to the words, she did not dare to say.
But by this dead girl, the Grand Princess recognized the truth.
The Grand Princess sank her face, knowing that it was definitely not what He said. But in front of the face of the subordinate is not good to teach the daughter-in-law, son and just returned to the capital.
This He, acting more and more out of tune, where like a big housewife. How did he see her in the first place, no ability to gather the man’s heart, but also made her more aggrieved than anyone else.
After dinner, Zheng Ji helped the eldest princess to sit on the bed of Luohan, until Zheng old extra horse harnessed by the side of a team to sit, Zheng Ji let people invite He to come in, and send down the subordinates.
The eldest princess did not take care of He, asked Zheng Ji, “mysterious, in the end what is the matter ah?”
He did not say anything and looked at Zheng Ji coldly. You dare to do that, let’s burn everything, anyway, I’ll give up.
Zheng Ji gave her an expressionless look and said to the Grand Princess and the old emperor’s son-in-law, “He married into the house for nineteen years, and according to incomplete estimates, more than fifty thousand taels of silver were diverted from the house to the He family.”
His gaze turned back to He, “These monies are not to be held accountable, but you should not have indulged the He family in their evil deeds, and interfered with the official court’s decision in the name of my mother, father, and I. ……”
Zheng Ji counted out one by one, He’s scared white face, also angry with the eldest princess and Zheng old extra horse harnessed by the side of a team.
The old two knew that He would use their name to help the He family, but thought that He was timid and virtuous, and would never dare to do anything illegal. They didn’t expect her to do so much, which also involved human life cases and large sums of money to demand bribes.
The Grand Princess was so angry that she opened her eyes angrily and drank, “He, you actually did so much evil. It seems that our mansion cannot keep you.”
The old emperor’s son-in-law also shook his head and sighed, “He, in vain we trusted you so much.”
He immediately knelt on the ground and cried, “Mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law also has bitterness in her heart with nowhere to vent it, daughter-in-law bitter ah ……”
The Grand Princess gasped, “How have we made you bitter? You are on the verge of moving our entire residence to the old He family, have we blamed you? He, your health is not good, I exempted you from the morning and evening introspection, the silver in the house is at your disposal, and tonic supplements are bestowed on you like running water.
“Not to mention the public house marquis, is the king’s house county king’s house, and those princess house, which daughter-in-law have you comfortable, have you rich? Just because my son for the country to guard the border, you guard the empty room to guard more, can not stay up? Good, good, I’ll let my son release you to go home and marry another, and find a man to keep you company every day.”
The words of the Grand Princess made He’s shame and indignation want to die, red-faced crying, “Granny, you have tormented the daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law’s heart is bitter, it’s something else.”
Her head turned to Zheng Ji and cried, “Zheng Ji, that woman has been dead for more than ten years, and you’re doing this to me for her and her bitchy seed? You think you can shut me up just because you’ve caught me in the act? It’s just as well that you don’t care about me as your wife, Jing’er is your only first son, how can you treat me like this ……”
Zheng Ji’s eyes were filled with coldness and his fists were clenched. This woman was not only mean and vicious, but also stupid and unable to see the situation.
He said, “You dare to call her a bitch in front of me, you call her again?”
The tone of voice is not shocking, but scared He shook her lips, in the end, did not dare to curse a “bitch”, covered her face with a handkerchief and cried.
Zheng Ji added, “I gave you nineteen years of decency, you don’t want it yourself, who can blame you? As for Jing’er, it’s because I’m sorry for not teaching and accompanying him, and for setting a bad example for him.
“It is also because of Jing’er that I have tolerated you again and again. You don’t know how to restrain yourself, and you’re getting more and more out of line, you actually dare to create rumors, use a knife to kill, and try to put Shiji to death, do you really think that I don’t dare to touch you?”
He didn’t dare to admit that she wanted to put Jiang Yishi to death, denying, “I didn’t ……”
Elder Son-in-law Zheng raised his voice and said, “What else do we not know, speak clearly.”
Zheng Ji got up and knelt in front of his parents and said in a deep voice, “Mother, father, my son is ashamed to have concealed an old matter.”
The Grand Princess asked, “What is it?”
Zheng Ji said, “Shiji, oh, that’s Meng Zhimo’s daughter-in-law Jiang Yishi, she is my son’s own daughter-in-law.”
“What?”
The Grand Princess and Elder Son-in-law Zheng spoke in unison. They were surprised and looked at each other.
The Grand Princess asked again, “Her mother had an affair with you? Oh my god, which woman is it!”
Zheng Ji said, “Her mother is Hu Mingya. It’s my bad, with her, with her …… she was pregnant, and I wasn’t in the capital ……”
Zheng Ji probably said about Hu Mingya throwing herself into the river, but was saved by Jiang Chen to marry home.
“General Jiang is a gentleman, he knows that shi shi is not his own flesh and blood, he still treats her like his own and raised her. Mingya is a good woman, and since marrying General Jiang, she has completely cut ties with me. Shiji’s birth is still something I heard she looked like a Zheng family member and sent someone to find out.”
He also said how Jiang Chen brought Hu Mingya out of the capital, and told Jiang Yishi’s birth date nearly four months younger.
The Grand Princess and Zheng Lao’s son-in-law both sighed. Before the two people looked down on Hu Mingya, actually unmarried and committed to others, must not be a good woman.
But when they heard that she threw herself into the river and was saved by Jiang Chen, and from then on, she severed ties with Zheng Ji, and tried to hide Jiang Yishi’s birth in every way possible, they felt that they shouldn’t belittle her again.
Especially Jiang Chen, what kind of a man was that, how infatuated he had to be with Hu, and what kind of bosom he had to be able to make it this far.
Being so pleased by Jiang Chen, being missed by her son for the rest of his life, Hu must have some redeeming qualities.
The Grand Princess thought of Jiang Yishi’s appearance and cloudy behavior, then looked at the pair of spiteful couples kneeling in front of her, and for the first time, she had doubts about herself.
Could it be that she had really done wrong?
