"Murderer, aren't you a murderer?"
Pang Xiao said in a low voice, causing the Yao Clan's unspoken words to be stuck in their throats.
"What, what do you mean by this?"
"Murderers, be it for money, for profit, for revenge, or for love, there will always be a reason. What is your reason? You poisoned your five month pregnant daughter-in-law with safflower, wanted to murder your unborn grandson, and even wanted to kill your own daughter-in-law. What is your reason? "
The Yao Clan's eyes widened, and they were tongue-tied.
Pang Xiao's voice was so low that only the Yao Clan and the two maids beside her could hear it.
But in the Yao Clan's ears, these words were like the beating of a drum.
Pang Xiao looked at the Yao Clan's tongue-tied expression, and bitterness gradually filled his heart. "What are you after, hm? If my son and your grandson are gone, what good will it do you? "
"You, you're talking nonsense!" The Yao Clan came back to his senses, straightened his back, and retorted loudly, "Who told you that? Ah? Am I that deranged person? Why would I harm my own grandson! "
His face turned from red to white, and the Yao Clan's tears fell down. "What a bastard who forgets his mother after getting a wife. Dai Fu, I carried you for ten months, and painstakingly gave birth to you. It wasn't easy to raise you. Now that you have a wife, is this how you accuse your mother?
"Your wife is like a precious treasure. Are you going to accuse others just because they want to visit her? I was kind enough to give her chicken soup to nourish her body, but she turned the tables on me! She said I poisoned her with safflower? Bah! Is that kind of lowly person worthy of eating safflower? You believe everything she says, don't you have a brain? Dai Fu, let me ask you, do you still treat me as your mother?! "
The Yao Clan was on the verge of screaming at the end. They felt that the son they raised had become someone else's. They had no hope in this life. They couldn't help but feel sad. They covered their mouths and choked with sobs.
Yao Chenggu frowned. The Yao Clan's behavior was too much.
Pang Xiao listened to the words of the Yao Clan, and her sad expression slowly calmed down. She sighed and said, "Mother, if you didn't have a guilty conscience and didn't lose your mind, you wouldn't have made such a big mistake. I left you some face, but you just had to make a scene. If you don't mind others hearing about you, I don't mind. "
He lowered his voice because he didn't want things to get out of hand. Who knew that the Yao Clan would make such a big fuss out of guilt?
It was as though Yao shi's neck had been grabbed by someone, as her crying stopped. Her face went from pale white to a purple eggplant color.
Yao Chenggu was angry that they didn't fight back. He sighed and said, "Okay, okay, don't wash your dirty linen in public. This matter ends here. Dai Fu, follow me into the house. "He turned around and walked into the house.
The Yao Clan clenched their teeth and looked at Pang Xiao. They couldn't hit or scold him. Whatever they did seemed wrong. They couldn't think of any other way, so they followed Yao Chenggu into the house.
Pang Xiao wasn't as obedient as before.
"Grandfather, if you're tired, you can go into the house and rest. It won't be too late for me to rest after I deal with the spies in the house. "
He turned around and looked sharply at the people kneeling on the ground. The nannies and daughters-in-law on the stove felt their hair stand on end.
"Speak. Who made today's chicken soup? "
Yao Chenggu stood at the door and heard Pang Xiao questioning the servants. He was so angry that he couldn't help but stomp his feet.
Pang Xiao obviously didn't want to let go of the troublemakers today. He wanted to deal with them in front of him. He was Pang Xiao's grandfather. If Pang Xiao did this, wasn't he looking down on him?
What's more, today's matter wasn't simple. If word spread among the servants, it would be even more difficult for them in the future.
Yao Chenggu's heart was in a mess. He felt as if he had been splashed with hot water. His face was burning.
At this point, Yao Chenggu knew that this matter would be difficult to resolve with Pang Xiao around.
The Yao Clan members stood beside Yao Chenggu and looked at the scene outside the window. They were also embarrassed and worried.
After cursing angrily just now, they did feel a lot better. However, the next problem for the Yao Clan was whether they still wanted their son, Pang Xiao.
If they did, Pang Xiao's attitude was so unyielding. As a mother, would she have to apologize to Qin Yining? If they didn't, what hope would she have left in this life?
After the anger and embarrassment, the Yao Clan members truly felt the crisis. They covered their mouths and cried bitterly.
The courtyard was quiet. The servants were all kneeling with their heads down. No one dared to say a word. They could only respond with the sound of cicadas.
Pang Xiao walked to the people in the middle and asked again: "Who made the chicken soup? Who added the red flower inside? Why did they do this? Who ordered them to do this? If you stand up now and explain to This King, This King may spare your life. If you persist in going about things the wrong way, when This King's people find out who did it, This King can't guarantee your safety. "
Pang Xiao's words made everyone's hair stand on end. They raised their eyes and secretly looked at Huzi and the two Jinghu Wei in front of the courtyard. They trembled uneasily.
What should they do?
Could they tell the truth?
If they told the truth, they might not have a place in Pine Crane Hall in the future.
But if they didn't tell the truth, Wang Ye could take their lives in the blink of an eye.
After weighing the pros and cons, their lives were more important.
The women on the stove looked at each other and didn't know what to say. Everyone's eyes were filled with hesitation.
Pang Xiao said again: "Are you going to tell the truth?" His voice was full of impatience. Obviously, his patience had run out.
Yao Chenggu, who was behind the curtain, finally couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted outside: "Dai Fu, come here."
If he let Pang Xiao continue to interrogate him, he would be dragged out and lose face. It would be better for him to explain to Pang Xiao and let him understand his painstaking efforts. It would also prevent the relationship between grandfather and grandson from becoming strained.
When Pang Xiao heard Yao Chenggu's call, his thin lips gradually pursed and his fists gradually clenched.
After coming to Pine Crane Hall today and analyzing the Yao Clan's false bravado and Yao Chenggu's performance, how could Pang Xiao not understand?
It turned out that the people who wanted to harm Sister Yi were his own mother and grandfather?
He had to guard against others outside, but at home, did he have to alienate his family? If he didn't guard against them, would he lose his wife and child?
Pang Xiao's heart was filled with grievance and anger. He ordered Huzi in a deep voice: "Interrogate them one by one and wait for This King's judgment."
"Yes!" Huzi and Jinghu Wei immediately responded. They rubbed their hands and called the maidservants to the entrance of the courtyard to interrogate them one by one.
Pang Xiao entered the main room.
Yao Chenggu withdrew his gaze from the window. His beard trembled as he said: "Why don't you tell your people to stop!"
"In order to catch the spy, interrogations are necessary. I know that Grandfather is a kind person and can't bear to see the people around him being wronged. However, for the safety of our entire residence, we can't do anything less."
Pang Xiao smiled at Yao Chenggu and said gently: "Grandfather, what do you want to say to me?"
Yao Chenggu's face was already red. He looked at Pang Xiao for a while and then said: "Don't let them interrogate you. Don't wash your dirty linen in public. To tell you the truth, I asked your mother to do what she did today. "
Pang Xiao's suspicion was confirmed by Yao Chenggu. He didn't feel sad or shocked anymore.
"I don't know why grandfather did this?"
Yao Chenggu didn't feel relieved when he saw that Pang Xiao didn't fly into a rage. Instead, he became more nervous.
"Dai Fu, your mother and I are doing this for your own good. Your wife is a good woman, no one can deny that. But she was kidnapped by the Tatan after all. Who knows what she experienced outside? Who can be sure that the child in her belly is your child?
"I don't want to see such a woman sullying you by your side. I don't want such a person to sully your bloodline. "
Pang Xiao was so angry that he burst into laughter. The laughter became louder and louder, revealing a bit of arrogance and ridicule.
Yao Chenggu and Mrs. Pang saw Pang Xiao like this. The worry in their hearts didn't lessen. Instead, they became even more nervous.
After a while, Pang Xiao said: "Grandfather. You and Mother are both my elders. I won't comment on your character. But I can tell you. I can't be sure if my wife is chaste or not. What's more, she was kidnapped because of me. Even if something happened to her, I won't dislike her. On the contrary, I don't like those who dislike her because of this!
"As for the child, I've already said it clearly. How long has it been since I reunited with her? How many months has it been since she gave birth to our child?
Grandfather, Mother and I can't even figure out if her child is mine?
"Okay, you can not believe me. You can also not believe Sister Yi. I can't persuade you to change your mind. But can this be the reason why you poisoned my wife with saffron?
"Grandfather, Mother, if it weren't for the two of you today, I would definitely cut up the person who wanted to harm Sister Yi and my child! But it just had to be you! "
Pang Xiao turned around and no longer looked at Yao Chenggu and Yao Clan.
"Since you look down on my wife, that means you look down on me. You wanted to kill my child, so I can't take revenge on you, nor can I do anything to you. But from now on, I'll live my own life, so please don't interfere. You just have to live your own life. "
Pang Xiao didn't give Yao Chenggu and Yao Clan a chance to preach at all. He turned around and left the main room.
In the courtyard, Pang Xiao pointed at the old women on the stove and the maidservants serving in Pine Crane Hall.
"These people are suspected of being spies. However, the law can't punish the masses. This King is not a ruthless person. You have worked hard to serve Old Master and Madam Dowager. So, each of you will be rewarded with two taels of silver. After paying your monthly salary, you can leave the mansion. "
"Wang Ye!"
The servants exclaimed and looked at Pang Xiao in disbelief. They didn't expect that Pang Xiao would drive away all the servants in Pine Crane Hall!
Yao Clan was anxious when they heard this. They hurriedly lifted the curtain and came out, "Dai Fu! You can't do this. Xunhe and Mihe have been following me for a long time. And Zhao Kun's family, they … "
"They don't know how to dissuade Madam Dowager from doing stupid things. This King didn't punish them. He just gave them money to dismiss them. It's already very benevolent."
Pang Xiao's eyes were full of alienation.
