Chapter 977 New and old grudges
"Captain Li arrested a total of six people from the Chu family in the second room. The mastermind was a housewife named Mother Qiu, who said she was a child of the Chu family. Other conspirators included her son Qiuzi, daughter-in-law Qiu Sao, and daughter Qiu Ling, her husband Qiu Changgen, and a rough girl who works in the kitchen. ”
"It was Mother Qiu who confessed that the poisoning was all caused by Grandma Qiu. Without the instruction of Grandma Qiu, none of the servants dared to poison the master. For this matter, Grandma Qiu and Mother Qiu quarreled in the Yamen. They got up and almost started fighting. The magistrate hit them five times each, and then they calmed down."
As soon as Chu Qing came back, he talked about everything that happened in the yamen without even drinking.
Mrs. Zhuo was shocked, "Mother Qiu? How could it be her?"
The Qiu family is the son of the Chu family. They have been working in the Chu family since the generation of Qiu Changgen's grandfather's grandfather. Qiu Changgen's generation is already the fifth generation. Qiu Changgen is the boss and has two subordinates. A younger brother, more than a dozen people in the third bedroom of the Qiu family were all assigned by Mrs. Chu to the people in the second bedroom of the Chu family.
Ordinarily, the Qiu family is a family that has served the Chu family for five generations, and is not allowed to give birth to the second branch of the Chu family. However, when the family was divided, Mrs. Chu devoted herself to the second branch of the Chu family and took over a dozen members of the Qiu family. The deed of sale first gave the Chu family a second house, and when the time came for the separation, the person was given away directly.
Old Mrs. Chu didn't want to have endless troubles with the naughty Mrs. Chu for the sake of his family's servants. When he found out, he didn't say anything.
Chu Xuanyu's family of three traveled out all year round and rarely lived in the mansion. At that time, the Zhuo family did not care about the family members in the mansion, and were naturally not familiar with the Qiu family. After the family was separated, the Zhuo family took charge of the mansion. Only then did I learn about the Qiu family from Aunt Ren.
Aunt Ren once told Mr. Zhuo that the Qiu family was very loyal to the Chu family and dedicated their lives to the Chu family. The dozen or so members of the family were also honest and loyal people. It was a pity that the Chu family was given a second wife.
Zhuo didn't care at that time.
The deed of sale was given to the second wife of the Chu family, and she would not make trouble with the second wife of the Chu family for the sake of the family's servants. At that time, the Zhuo family was afraid that the people who avoided the second wife would not come to the door to make trouble, and it was for the sake of the family. A servant.
After Zhuo knew about it, he pretended not to know.
At that time, Mrs. Chu was thinking about the second bedroom of the Chu family, so she went to great lengths to give the Qiu family to the second bedroom. Unexpectedly, ten years later, Mrs. Chu would fall into the trap of the Qiu family.
Is this retribution?
Chu Qingdao said, "Mother Qiu's whole family was involved. At first, Mother Qiu didn't tell the truth. It was her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qiu, who couldn't bear the beating and told the truth."
"Last year at this time, when Mrs. Qiu was serving the old lady, she accidentally spilled fruit liquid on the upper part of the old lady's shoes. Those shoes were newly made by the eldest lady for the old lady and they were only worn on the first day. The old lady liked them very much. But the fruit juice was poured on the shoes and they were stained, making them unwearable. The old lady was angry and ordered Mrs. Qiu to be beaten ten times. "
"At that time, Mrs. Qiu was two months pregnant and the baby was killed."
Sister-in-law Qiu was not pregnant for five years after marrying into the Qiu family. Qiu's mother searched everywhere for prescriptions and spent a lot of energy and money on it. Last year, Sister-in-law Qiu finally got pregnant after the old tree blossomed. Unexpectedly, she was pregnant in just two months. Being beaten to death by the old lady, Mrs. Qiu was heartbroken and grieved, and she also hated the old lady in her heart.
The grandson that the Qiu family had been waiting for for five years was gone, and Qiu's mother also hated the old lady. She even hated the old lady to death because she had assigned the whole family to a second room.
"The matter of poisoning the old lady, Qiu's mother said that it was none of other people's business. No one else in the Qiu family knew about it. It was the eldest aunt who ordered her to poison her alone." Chu Qing continued.
When Xia Zihan heard this, the corner of his mouth raised, "So, this Mother Qiu will bite Chu Jingxiu even to death." It is difficult to explain this kind of thing clearly. Mother Qiu said that Chu Jingxiu was the mastermind, but Chu Jingxiu He argued that he had not done it, and that the father-in-law was right and the mother-in-law was right, but there was no evidence to prove that what he said was true.
Mother Qiu bought the poison that poisoned the old lady herself and did not borrow it from anyone else. When she poisoned her, she just asked her daughter to coax away the rough girl who was watching the fire in the kitchen, and then she administered the poison.
From the beginning to the end, Qiu's mother acted alone. She testified that Chu Jingxiu was the mastermind and insisted on Chu Jingxiu. Even if Chu Jingxiu defended himself, in the end, no matter whether Chu Jingxiu had instigated Qiu's mother to poison him, I'm afraid she would not be left behind. go.
Chu Qing said, "When slave girl and Chu Meng came back, they met Aunt Ren. Aunt Ren asked slave girl about Qiu's mother, and slave girl told the truth. Nanny Ren said that the Qiu family would be divided by the old lady. For second bedroom Yes, it was my eldest aunt who was behind the instigation. Also, Qiu’s mother used to have an eldest daughter who was a second-class maid next to my aunt. I heard that she died because of her.”
Aunt Ren deliberately stopped her in the middle of the road and told her these words, just to let her tell the story to the princess and princess.
As for why Nanny Ren didn't tell the princess and the princess herself, she didn't know.
Mrs. Zhuo slapped her thigh with a very excited expression, "I remembered that there was a maid who was beaten to death by the second wife because Chu Jingxiu accidentally pushed her into the river. It turned out that she was Mother Qiu's eldest daughter."
Xia Zihan also remembered it.
Back then, when that incident happened, she and Chu Jingqi were still there.
That year, Chu Jingxiu was only twelve years old. When she went to the garden with Miss Lu San and others, Miss Lu secretly encouraged her with a few words and accidentally pushed the eldest daughter of the Changbei Hou Mansion into the river.
The eldest daughter of the Changbei Hou Mansion died, and Chu Jingxiu committed murder. Later, the maid retracted her confession, proving Chu Jingxiu's innocence, and Chu Jingxiu was not charged with murder.
However, the second wife, Mrs. Yu, put all the fire on the maids who accompanied Chu Jingxiu to the lotus garden, and beat each of them twenty times.
The maids were used to the work and were in good health. Even if they were given twenty blows, they would not be killed. However, Qiu’s mother’s eldest daughter had her menstrual period in the past few days. After being given twenty blows, she suffered from severe bleeding from the lower part. She did not survive it. People went there in one night.
Qiu's mother put this grudge on Yu and Chu Jingxiu.
Mrs. Yu has already suffered her retribution, and Chu Jingxiu's life is also not good. Life is worse than death. Qiu's mother feels happy when she sees it, and the hatred in her heart also fades a lot.
Last year, Mrs. Chu aborted the child her daughter-in-law had finally conceived. It was the grandson Qiu’s mother had been looking forward to day and night for five years.
