Pang Xiao looked at Yao Clan's incredulous eyes, smiled and said: "I'll call you Old Madam. Just like those rich families, I'll directly call you by your identity instead of using familial ties. Do you think this is more satisfactory? Did This King neglect you? "
"What are you talking about! You heartless thing, is this how you treat your own mother?! "
Pang Xiao sneered: "If it was an outsider who wanted to harm my wife and kill my child, I would've already wrung his head off! I've already been polite enough to you. Old Madam! "
Yao Clan's tears fell down, wetting a large part of her clothes. "You're really going to distance yourself from me. For an outsider, you … "
"Old Madam, please don't use the shrew skills you learned in the marketplace on me. Don't try to act shamelessly. You put safflower in the chicken soup for your daughter-in-law, and you want to kill your grandson. Even those shrews in the marketplace wouldn't do such a vicious thing. You're my mother, and I've always been affectionate to you. But you want to kill my child, and you don't have any affection for me. In the future, I can only call you Old Madam, and take care of you until you're old. That's the limit of what I can do. "
"You, you!" Yao Clan was so angry that she couldn't breathe.
Pang Xiao was her life's hope. Yao Clan never thought that Pang Xiao would actually disregard her opinion and say such heart-wrenching words for an outsider.
Yao Chenggu saw that Pang Xiao was serious, and his heart was shocked and angry, but more than that, he felt regret.
In fact, this matter really shouldn't have developed like this. If there was anyone to blame, it was Yao Clan's stupidity. She directly brought a bowl of chicken soup with safflower in it, and let everyone know that she was the one who did it, and they didn't even have a chance to defend themselves.
"Dai Fu." Yao Chenggu tried to smooth things over. "You're already so old, you should be more sensible. No matter how bad your mother is, she's still your biological mother. She gave birth to you and raised you. Isn't it wrong for you to hurt her because of someone else? "
"Old Master." Pang Xiao looked at Yao Chenggu. "I understand what you mean. But please understand that I'm doing this for the sake of your kindness. Otherwise, if someone else dared to kill my child and wife, I would have turned hostile long ago. "
Hearing that Pang Xiao had changed the way she addressed him, Yao Chenggu's face instantly turned pale. His beard trembled as his lips trembled.
The servants of Pine Crane Hall knelt on the ground, all dumbstruck.
After sorting out the cause and effect, they finally understood that they were just fish in the pond that got caught in the fire. The real culprits were their Old Master and Old Madam. They were the masters that they served loyally.
Who would have thought that this father and son pair, who looked like decent people, would actually poison their own daughter-in-law with safflower and cause her to have an abortion. Because of his status, Wang Ye couldn't punish them for their insanity. He could only shift the blame onto these servants.
Who told them to be Pine Crane Hall's people?
So when they said that they were Tatan spies, it was just an excuse.
At this moment, the servants' dissatisfaction towards the Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu had reached its peak. Pang Xiao's punishment made them feel that Pang Xiao was very humane. She didn't punish them all at once, but instead gave them money to disperse.
The courtyard fell into a strange silence. Yao Chenggu stared at Pang Xiao, panting, unable to say a word.
The Yao Clan supported themselves on the pillars, sobbing and crying miserably as if they had been greatly wronged.
Pang Xiao turned around and waved his hand at Huzi.
Huzi immediately understood and led two of Jinghu Wei's brothers to disperse the servants of Pine Crane Hall.
Although they were dismissed, they had to be interrogated before they could be released.
The servants panicked again because of this matter and cried out loudly that they were wronged.
While the servants were in chaos, a hearty voice came from outside, "What's going on?"
Everyone looked at the courtyard door and saw Ma Shi walking over with a frown.
Ma Shi saw that all the servants of Pine Crane Hall were driven out. Pang Xiao stood in the middle of the courtyard with a gloomy face. The Yao Clan members were crying as if their parents had died. Yao Chenggu also looked like a frosted eggplant. She vaguely had some guesses in her heart.
"What did you do?" Ma Shi walked quickly to Pang Xiao's side, "Dai Fu, tell me, what's going on?"
Facing Ma Shi, Pang Xiao tried to restrain his anger and comforted with a smile, "Grandmother, it's okay. It's just that a few spies may have sneaked into Pine Crane Hall and mixed safflower in the chicken soup that Old Madame sent to Sister Yi. I brought people here to take a look. You also know that the situation in the imperial court is very tense now. Our Wang Mansion is our own home. We can't allow spies to sneak in behind closed doors. "
Ma Shi didn't want to listen to the rest of the explanation at all. She was already angry when she heard how Pang Xiao addressed the Yao Clan. In addition, there was safflower in the chicken soup that the Yao Clan sent to Qin Yining. This simple sentence allowed Ma Shi to guess what happened.
The Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu didn't like Qin Yining that day. They felt that Qin Yining was unchaste. She knew very well that the child might not be Pang Xiao's. If he didn't know this, he wouldn't have directly locked up the Yao Clan.
However, she thought that the Yao Clan was already an adult. They still had to move around in the mansion in the future. If he locked them up and didn't let them out, it wouldn't sound good if the servants saw them. Although Ma Shi was angry with the Yao Clan and felt that her daughter's character was already crooked, she was still her daughter. As a mother, she still felt sorry for her daughter.
Therefore, Ma Shi came up last night and let the Yao Clan go. She also made it clear to the Yao Clan that she should live an honest life and not think about those miscellaneous things.
Who knew that after only one night, the Yao Clan would forget all her teachings. There was actually such a heartless mother-in-law who poisoned her pregnant daughter-in-law with safflower and wanted to take the life of her biological grandson!
"You, you!" Ma Shi was so angry that her face turned red. She rushed forward and kicked the Yao Clan's knees. "Kneel down! Evil creature! "
The Yao Clan was already on the verge of collapsing from crying. After being kicked by Ma Shi, she knelt down on the spot. She cried so hard that she didn't have the strength to cry. She supported herself on the tiles with her hands. Her tears and snot dripped down and wet a small area on the ground.
Yao Clan gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly. She raised her fists high at the Yao Clan. "I really want to kill you with this punch! What are you thinking, huh? Did you forget what I told you last night? Did you forget what I told you? You never listened to what I told you. It's fine if you did that in the past, but now you want to harm your own daughter-in-law. Your conscience has been eaten by dogs! "
With an angry roar, Ma Shi's fist fiercely hit the Yao Clan's back, making a muffled sound.
The Yao Clan immediately fell to the ground and coughed out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.
