Chapter 575: Hateful Buds
Chapter 575: Hateful Buds
"You want me to go find Qian directly? But she's such a weakling that she can't even stand up in front of her sister-in-law. I've already picked her out, but she's still trying to get close to me. It's no use looking for her."
Hua Lei was a little disappointed, and after a pause, she continued, "I can't possibly take it out on the maids and the women. Isn't that picking on the weak? They are also helpless."
"Sister Hua, have you ever thought about the consequences of this? If you really take Madam Qian to the county government office today, what if Madam Qian can't stand the humiliation and bangs her head against the pillar?
Or maybe she was touched by other guards in the prison, and after she was released, she was abandoned by Qian Erxiu or something like that." Rong Jin asked, looking at Hua Lei.
Hua Lei was stunned. She had never thought about this before. She hesitated and said, "Not really, right? I just sent her to the county government office. I didn't scold her or beat her. Why would she want to hit her head against the pillar or something like that?
Besides, Qian Er is not so heartless, right? He wants to divorce his wife just because she is in jail. This is too much."
Rong Jin rubbed Hua Lei's head with a headache. Sometimes he really couldn't understand why many of Hua Mei's ideas were so different from those of the current female relatives.
If a female family member was taken to the county government office, wouldn't it be embarrassing enough? This is much more serious than scolding or beating her in private in the yard.
"Sister Hua, you are different from them, you have to know that here, most women do not go out of the front door or the back door.
Also, in private, the women would say a few words to each other, which no one else could see. But once you report this to the county government, you would be tearing off the other person's face and stepping on it.
They are indeed not right in this matter, but we can't kill them just for a few hundred taels of silver, right?"
"I didn't want to kill him, nor did I want Qian Erxiu to abandon her. I just wanted to calm her down." Hua Lei felt a little guilty. She seemed to have forgotten that women were already in a difficult situation here.
Thinking of this, it seemed that she was a bit aggressive again today. Hua Lei rubbed her fingers nervously, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.
If Madam Qian was really forced to death for these few hundred taels of silver, this was definitely not what Hua Lei wanted to see.
"Also, today's incident is different from when I scolded Rong Yu. When I scolded Rong Yu, it was a family affair.
Of course, if Qian did something wrong, it is reasonable for you to say a few words to her. As her sister-in-law, you have the qualifications to do so. However, you cannot directly scold Madam Qian II.
You can't even say that the Minister's Mansion can't afford to support people, so we have to support the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion? You are making a small problem bigger and bigger.
In fact, this is Qian's attempt to please her second sister-in-law, and her second sister-in-law is just taking advantage of it. " Rong Jin looked at Hua Lei's embarrassed face and her red fingers from being rubbed, sighed, and reached out to hold Hua Lei's hand.
"So, the main cause of this matter is still the Qian family, you know? If you want to fight against foreign enemies, you must first fight against the internal enemies. This is the same principle.
Our fence was not fixed well, which allowed others to get in. We have to fix our own fence first, and we can’t just go after others directly.” Rong Jin said softly.
"But, but, she scolded me, and she even threw dishes at me?" Hualei whispered, "I have lived for several lifetimes, and I have never been pointed at by anyone and called a bitch."
"Hehe..., Sister Hua, you are not even twenty years old yet, and you have lived several lifetimes. It's really..." Rong Jin did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Hua Lei leaned against Rong Jin's arms with a guilty conscience, and stammered, "Husband, what should we do about this? Do I have to go to Madam Qian's house tomorrow to apologize?"
"Forget it. She did scold you and hit you. Let's just leave it at that. Fortunately, it didn't lead to more serious consequences." Rong Jin patted Hua Lei's back and comforted her.
"If Qian Er knew about this, he wouldn't divorce Madam Qian Er, right? Or would Madam Qian Er get so angry that she hangs herself?" Hua Lei began to worry in vain again.
"No, Qian Er has been building the provincial capital in the north for a long time. He won't know about this. Even if he knew, he would not divorce me.
This is just a quarrel among the women in the backyard. Madam Qian will not hang herself, so don't worry." Looking at Hua Lei who looked uneasy, Rong Jin sighed.
She hugged the bud tightly. She was kind-hearted and could empathize with the common people, the maids and even the prisoners who had committed crimes.
But sometimes, he is also so aggressive that people feel that he is hateful and arrogant. Why is it so contradictory? Rong Jin is a little puzzled as to how Grandfather Hua educated his sister.
Hualei still feels a little scared.
In another house, Rong Yu, who came back late, also frowned after listening to Qian's crying.
"Before the restaurant opened, didn't we eat separately from my second brother and his wife? My second brother and his wife have a small kitchen in their yard, and don't we have a small kitchen in our yard too? When did you eat together again?"
Since Rong Yu did not return home at noon and came back late at night, Qian would always leave food for him, so he had no idea that his aunt and sister-in-law usually ate together.
Qian shrank back and replied softly, "I just think it's boring to eat alone, so..."
"Was it you who suggested eating with second sister-in-law? Or was it second sister-in-law who suggested it?" Rong Yu glanced at Qian and asked again.
"Husband, is there any difference?" Qian asked cautiously. Ever since the last time the couple was scolded by Rong Jin, Qian clearly felt that Rong Yu's voice was much louder.
"Just tell me, who proposed this?" Rong Yu asked while eating.
"Yes...it was Nanny Qian who proposed it to me. Nanny Qian saw that I ate alone and had a poor appetite, so..." Qian hesitated to speak.
"Someone, take Mrs. Qian away and give her twenty lashes of the cane. Tell all the maids, servants and male servants in the yard to go to the yard and take a look." Rong Yu put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth, and instructed the guards behind him.
"Husband, what are you doing? Nanny just saw that I had a poor appetite, so..." Qian asked in disbelief.
The old woman behind Qian was so frightened that she knelt down in front of Rong Yu and begged for mercy, "Second Master, spare me, Second Master, spare me."
Qingtian, the guard behind Rong Yu, stepped forward and dragged Mrs. Qian out of the room. Another guard, Qingliu, had already placed a bench in the yard.
"My husband, Mammy is my wet nurse. She is very old and can't bear it. My husband, please forgive her."
