Chapter 126 The plan within the plan
Xiao Shi never thought that the Ninth Girl would directly pull her to the Third Room, but when the time came, she could only bite the bullet and tell the story again.
Jiang's whole body was shaking, as if someone had hit her on the back of the head with a club. Her ears were buzzing, and she could hear nothing. She could only hear Xiaoshi's mouth opening and closing.
It turned out that her Luan'er did not fall into the water accidentally.
He was actually drowned to death by the eldest lady!
Jiang widened her eyes in disbelief, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes. She pounded her chest again and again, feeling so heartbroken!
If she had been more careful back then, she could have had a child to take care of her!
The master can still have a legitimate son!
But no matter how heartbroken she was, she was still alert in her heart, and said coldly to Feng Jia: "Xie Lanzhao, you think I can trust you just because you found a servant? How do I know this is not a plot to alienate me?"
Feng Jia glanced at Xiao Shi, who immediately fell to the ground and said, "Third Madam, not only that, the first madam only wants you to have a daughter, the tenth lady, so that she can control you well and prevent future troubles..."
After a pause, Xiao Shi did not dare to continue, but when she saw Feng Jia's gaze, she still said, "Do you still remember that cold winter five years ago?"
The third lady was shocked.
Xiao Shi knocked her head to the ground. "Five years ago, in the cold winter, the eldest lady knew that you were depressed because you lost your child, so she hypocritically advised you to go back to your mother's home in Qinghe to relax. Who knew that the carriage lost control on the road, and you and your carriage were rushed into the icy pond. Although your life was not in danger, the bone-chilling cold water made it impossible for you to have children again!"
The Third Madam snorted, "Later, I sent people to investigate and found out that it was not an accident at all. It was the groom bribed by the Seventh Aunt who deliberately made me fall into the pond! But why do you think I said this? What does this have to do with the First Madam?"
The Seventh Aunt was the only concubine of the Third Household Xie Li, and the biological mother of the concubine's daughter Xie Yunxian.
Therefore, she hated the daughter born to her enemy very much.
Xiao Shi shook her head: "The evidence you investigated was only given to you by the eldest lady. The real culprit behind the scenes is actually the eldest lady!"
"The first lady instigated the seventh concubine, and later you really couldn't have children. The first lady was afraid of complications, so she hanged the seventh concubine to death, and disguised it as the seventh concubine committing suicide out of fear of punishment. This killed two birds with one stone. Not only did you become childless, but there will be no more women who can give birth in the third house! Just wait for you and the third master to die, and then all the property you brought from your mother's home in Qinghe will fall into the hands of the first house!"
"Impossible!" The third lady shook her head repeatedly.
Feng Jia said, "Impossible? If the eldest lady hadn't promised to support her, even if Seventh Aunt, a concubine promoted from a maid, had ten guts, she wouldn't dare to do anything on the carriage!"
The Third Madam felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet. She could not accept this fact. "If the First Madam really wants my mother's family's property, I still have Rong'er. How does she know that I won't give all the property to Rong'er and let her take it to her husband's family!"
Feng Jia smiled and said, "Third Aunt, have you ever thought about why Sister Rong has always wanted to marry into General Shen's mansion?"
The third wife was stumped by the question: "Because she, she..."
"Because he likes General Shen? But, I'm afraid he has never even met General Shen?"
An answer was about to come out, but the third wife was afraid: "No, impossible! Impossible..."
Feng Jia exposed it: "It must have been the eldest lady who educated Sister Rong since she was young. Not only her, but also Sister Yunyao and Sister Shubai in the mansion, have passed on the idea to Sister Rong since she was young: only Sister Rong's appearance and status can match the young general, and Sister Rong will definitely marry General Shen as his legal wife in the future!"
"They all said so. Sister Rong was young at the time and had no judgment. She subconsciously thought that what they said was right. The purpose of her birth was to marry into General Shen's mansion and become his wife! So she tried her best to restrain herself day after day and year after year, trying her best to follow the rules and etiquette, just to be worthy of the position of the general's mansion's mother! To be favored by General Shen!"
"But Third Aunt, you and I both know that with Third Uncle's position, I'm afraid Sister Rong can't even become General Shen's concubine, right? How can she become his legal wife?"
"But Sister Rong tried so hard, but in the end the person she was going to marry was Sister Xiyi from the fourth room. Do you think Sister Rong could handle this kind of blow? Ever since the eldest brother married the princess, Fourth Uncle has been getting very close to Dad in order to please the princess. Correspondingly, Meng and Fourth Aunt have also gotten closer. This will give Sister Rong an illusion, which is..."
The Third Madam murmured, "That is, if you want to marry General Shen, you can't just work hard on your own, you also need to please Mrs. Meng! But how to please Mrs. Meng... Even if you have to offer all your wealth with both hands, it wouldn't be too much!"
The Third Madam thought of what Xie Changrong had said to her, and she wished she could take a knife and stab that Meng right now: "That bitch! She has Rong'er completely under her control!"
Rong'er also became insane because her marriage quota was taken by the Eighth Girl. She never expected that someone had planned this!
The fact was before her eyes, and the Third Lady had to believe it even if she didn't want to. She overturned the table and said, "How could there be such a vicious woman in the world! Vicious woman! You shall not die a good death!"
Feng Jia then said, "Third aunt, do you still remember that night when the princess suddenly came to visit, Sister Rong wore a disrespectful lotus dress and offended the princess. The dress was originally made by Mrs. Meng to frame me, but unfortunately, Sister Rong wore it. In the end, Mrs. Meng was still vicious!"
If it weren't for that lotus dress, how could Rong'er be resented by the princess, how could she be confined, and even more so, she would not have run away from the mansion and been tortured by Princess Pingchang, losing her innocence! All of these things were because of that vicious woman Meng!
The Third Madam was so angry that she was shaking all over. She cursed twice in a rage, and then said coldly to Feng Jia: "Why are you telling me this!"
Although she was weak, she had been able to stay in the inner house for more than ten years. She didn't think that the Ninth Miss would be so kind as to come and tell her the truth.
Feng Jia gave Xiao Shi a look. Xiao Shi paused, but still reluctantly retreated and quickly closed the door from the inside.
Xiao Shi stood in the corner and didn't leave. She was about to listen to what was being said inside, but she saw the murderous eyes of the maid Song Huai standing in the corner. She was so frightened that she crawled away.
In the room, the sandalwood incense curled up, and Feng Jia said calmly: "Third Aunt, you and I don't have a deep hatred. We are just poor people trying to survive in the Xie Mansion. You hate Meng, and I hate Meng too. Why don't we cooperate?"
"How to cooperate?"
"I will bring down the Meng family for you, and you, if necessary, stand up and speak for me."
……
The moon climbed up to the top of the branches and everyone went to sleep. A furtive shadow slipped out of the back door of the apricot orchard all the way to the east.
After the shadow ran away, Song Huai jumped down from the roof, jumped in through the window with ease, and lit the candle, which was a dim light.
Feng Jia didn't sleep, she was looking out the window with her eyes open.
"That girl named Xiaoshi really went to the Madam's room."
Feng Jia hummed softly.
Song Huai was puzzled. "You told me that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. But you knew there was something fishy about this little poem, but you still let her follow you. Why?"
"Ghosts have their uses too." Feng Jia was bored. He took out the sword manual and looked at it. He said in a light tone, "If someone like her is used well, she can be a good weapon."
