Because everyone had their own opinions, Madam Zhang protected the people in her courtyard and did not allow torture, and Madam Wang could not just hit Madam Bai's people, by the time Madam Luo and Jingwan arrived, the matter had already reached a deadlock. With their arrival, Madam Wang was not displeased. Instead, she seemed to be relieved. She really did not know what to do with someone as muddle-headed as her second sister-in-law. Faced with Madam Luo's question, she hesitated and looked at Madam Zhang.
How could Madam Luo not understand? She said expressionlessly, "Find all the relatives of the related people in the house and in front of them, flog them ten times. If they still don't tell the truth, their whole family will be punished. If they still don't tell the truth, sell them."
No one would have thought that Madam Luo would be so ruthless.
"Mother …" Madam Zhang hurriedly wanted to plead.
"Shut up. You are the one who has the least right to speak now. If it weren't for your stupid and wooden-headed brain, would this have happened? If it weren't for the fact that I still have something to ask you to do, I would have grounded you for three years. " Madam Luo was really angry. It was one thing for her to be hopelessly stupid, but she also always implicated others.
Madam Luo had always been a good mother-in-law and never treated her daughter-in-law harshly. Even if she knew that Madam Liu was a two-faced and vicious woman, she still treated her indifferently and never made things difficult for her. Occasionally, when she encountered some things, she would secretly warn them. In front of so many people, it was definitely the first time that Madam Zhang was so merciless.
Madam Zhang also didn't expect it to be like this. She felt wronged and cried, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Jingwan stood next to Madam Luo. Seeing her mother like this, she couldn't do anything. After this incident, she hoped that she could learn a little bit, even if it was just a little bit. But even with such a low request, the hope was still slim.
Most people only heard that Madam Luo blamed Madam Zhang, but some people also heard the trust in Madam Zhang's words. She clearly didn't believe that this was something that Madam Zhang could do.
On the bed, Madam Bai was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. She had met an unromantic husband, an innocent and stupid mistress, and a mother-in-law who looked kind but didn't care about concubines. No matter how many methods she had, she couldn't use them. Obviously, it was that idiot who occupied the position of the matriarch who caused her to lose her child. It was such an obvious thing, but no one believed it. She should not have been so careless. She should not have thought that that woman would not have the guts to do anything. The fact was, when a stupid dog bit people, it was even more ruthless. It could even hit you when you were not prepared. She should have listened to the advice of the bell and not eaten the food sent by the Falling Plum House. The child that she had painstakingly gotten was gone just like that …
The relevant people were gathered as quickly as possible. Everyone in the room was moved to the courtyard, including Madam Bai, who struggled to get up. Madam Luo did not comment on this, but Madam Zhang, seeing her pale face, wanted to persuade her. She seemed to have completely forgotten who was the one who said that she, Madam Zhang, was cruel and merciless, not even letting go of the unborn child in her belly.
She was not just naive and sweet. In Jingwan's eyes, she was no different from the Virgin Mary.
Fortunately, before Jingwan could do anything, Madam Zhang's mammy had already stopped her. Not to mention that Madam Bai had already recognized Madam Zhang as her enemy. Even if she didn't do this, Madam Bai was the matriarch and the other was a concubine. In front of the matriarch, she was like a maid. They were born to be at odds. No matter how well Madam Zhang did and how many good things she gave, Madam Bai would not appreciate it. Now that Madam Bai tried to dissuade her at this time, Madam Bai might think that Madam Bai had ulterior motives and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of her confidant.
Other than Cailin, everyone else more or less had relatives. Even the wintersweet that was bought from outside had been worshiped as a godmother in the fu. However, it did not mean that Cailin could escape the disaster. For a servant like her who had "unknown origins", as the ruler of the backyard, Madam Wang would naturally find out their origins.
Madam Bai was a distant niece of the Luo Rongyan. She was the daughter of a concubine and was not favored. She was given away just like that and did not have a close maid who had a deep relationship with her. Cailin was also from her so-called uncle's family. From the moment Cailin was sent to Madam Bai's side, their fates were closely linked. Madam Bai's methods were also extraordinary, so she quickly took Cailin as her confidant.
Madam Luo originally did not want to intervene, but Madam Zhang's performance made her change her mind. She decided to fiercely tidy up the backyard. If she did not properly knock some people down, would they really think that she was a decoration in the residence? They always made all kinds of trouble from time to time. Originally, Wan Wan was in a good mood because the good thing was about to happen, but someone was not sensible and wanted to ruin it.
Madam Luo used a method that she would not use in the past. She directly took Luo Peishan's name card and asked people to go to the Luo Rongyan's house to ask for Cailin. It was just a few servants, so the other party would not refuse to give face. Moreover, Cailin was sent from their fu. Now that there was a problem in the Luo family, they did not know the specific situation. It was inevitable that they could not help but wonder if something had happened in the Luo family. That was, they did not train them well. As a result, they could only hand over Cailin in fear and trepidation. Although it was a gift from a superior to a subordinate, in fact, there was still the intention to curry favor. Luo Rongyan was not a good person, but his father was not to be underestimated.
Jingwan carefully observed the expressions and reactions of the relevant people. She could conclude that Lamei was not involved in it. Although she reacted in panic, she was not guilty. Lamei was only two or three years older than Jingwan. She had been in contact with her when she was in Qi 'an fu. Living in the capital for three years did not change her nature much.
As for the other people, in fact, as long as they had enough experience, they basically knew what was going on. It was just that Cailin's reaction was a little strange. Needless to say, Cailin was afraid, but there was a trace of strange excitement mixed in.
What was the secret behind it? She believed that she would soon know the answer. However, Madam Zhang's anxiety and Lamei's fear made Jingwan decide to intervene. If there was really no problem with the ingredients in Fallen Plum House, then the desserts must have been swapped. In this way, it was not difficult to prove Lamei's innocence.
"First Aunt, is the desserts left by Concubine Bai still here?"
"Yes. Did you think of something?" Madam Wang asked kindly.
Jingwan nodded, "There are a few desserts in Fallen Plum House. When I was in Qi 'an fu, I made some small changes. The taste is different, especially the desserts made by Sister Lamei. The taste is especially good. I think the desserts that Concubine Bai wanted should be one of them, but I'm afraid that ordinary people can't taste them." For those who were used to all kinds of exquisite food, their mouths could more or less be considered as gluttons. It wasn't difficult for them to taste the subtle differences. "As far as I know, Sister Lamei habitually makes more desserts. I think it's the same this time. The previous inquiry also proved that she did not do anything unusual in the process of making desserts. I just don't know if there are any other desserts left."
Jingwan, a girl, appeared here. Although it was not particularly out of the ordinary, because she was the only girl in the boudoir, it was naturally abrupt. As soon as she spoke, almost everyone's eyes were focused on her. Many people understood the meaning of her words. Fortunately, the desserts left in the Falling Plum House had not been touched yet.
"Plum blossom cake?" When Jingwan saw it, she smiled. This was their second branch's special dessert. Her father especially liked it. No wonder Madam Bai would choose this.
Whether it was taken from Fallen Plum House or sent to Madam Bai, they all looked exactly the same. Not to mention the color and style, even the texture was the same. No one doubted that this was made by two people.
Thinking back to Jingwan's words, not only did it not clear Lamei's name, but it also made the people who originally trusted Lamei look at her with suspicion. Madam Bai wanted to pounce on her and eat her alive.
Jingwan was indifferent, "Try it and you'll know." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand.
Madame Luo grabbed her hand. "You little girl, how can you eat unclean things?"
"Eh, the things inside are so powerful that ordinary people can't touch them?" Could it be that the person behind the scenes was worried that ordinary methods could not guarantee a 100% success rate, so he used a heavy hand?
