Chapter 190: A Murder Case Caused by a Duck (3)
Naturally, it is impossible to hide such a big matter from the rest of the family. After Han Jianming discussed with Han Jingyan, he told Qiu Shi and Ye Shi about the matter.
Qiu Shi was eager to break up the family: "It's fine if it's divided. If the third room is divided, it will save a lot of expenses." These years, I don't know how much money the third room has been subsidized.
Han Jianming couldn't help sighing after hearing Qiu's words. No wonder the third uncle wanted to separate, it turned out to be the mother's reason: "Mom, money is a trivial matter, the most important thing is the harmony of the family." Men see things differently from women. Han Jianming pays more attention to the benefits obtained outside, rather than the three melons and two dates at home.
Qiu said: "It's not that my mother is stingy, but that the expenses of the third bedroom are too high. Jianming, you may not know that the annual expenditure of the third bedroom is more than that of our eldest. If you save this money, you will be able to use it in the future." You and Jianye."
Han Jianming asked in disbelief: "Mother, how could the third house spend more than our eldest house?"
How could the Qiu family lie to her son: "Except for your father who spends a lot of money on our first house, everyone else spends money more economically. But the third house's funeral and ceremonies, as well as Jiancheng's expenses, all add up to one. It’s a lot of money.” The women in the big house all use the small kitchen, and the small kitchen is all used in their private houses, and they don’t pay public accounts. The three houses eat and drink in the public house, plus the cost of Wu's funeral, Han Jingyan's marriage, and Yuchen's marriage is also a big expense. In addition, the three sons and daughters are all grown up, and they all have to marry each other, which will be a huge expense. If Han Jingyan used to take money to the public when he was an official abroad, then the Qiu family would not say much. But for so many years, with nothing but a little salary, no matter how lenient Qiu is, he is unwilling to continue to be taken advantage of.
Han Jianming didn't say anything after hearing Qiu's calculation. The main reason is that the separation of the family has basically been decided, and it is meaningless to say anything: "Mother, the people in the kitchen are not very decent, mother should clean it up. If the third aunt wants to eat something these days, let the kitchen. Do it for her! The separation is imminent, and if something happens, it won't look good."
Qiu shook her head and said: "It's true that the people in the kitchen are wrong, but the main problem lies with Wen." After finishing speaking, Qiu explained what Wen had done: "It's such a cold day, you want to eat You can make an agreement with the kitchen first for supper, let them make it and keep it warm on the stove. But Wen doesn’t talk about it during the day, and always likes to wake up the cook in the middle of the night to make it. If people do not do well, they are picky. The servants are also human, and they must have resentment when they come down a few times.” If you want people to do things, you have to give at least two rewards! It doesn't matter if you don't give a reward, and you say it's not delicious, the clay figurines are still three-dimensional! Not to mention people.
Han Jianming was speechless, he really didn't know about it. I've been so busy recently that I don't have time to pay attention to the trivial matters in the inner courtyard: "Mother, the family will be separated soon, so let's restrain the people in the mansion during this time! Don't make trouble again. "Since the family is going to be separated soon, let's divide the family amicably.
Qiu Shi nodded and said: "Don't worry, this matter will never happen again." The family is going to be separated, and it will only take a few more days to toss, and she will definitely not let people make trouble again.
Yuxi also soon knew the news of the separation. It doesn't matter to Yuxi whether the Han family is separated or not. However, it is a good thing that Han Jingyan took the initiative to propose a separation, and her previous strategy does not need to be used.
Zisu heard the separation and said: "It's good to separate, so that the third lady will not be in trouble all day long." The second youngest grandmother and Aunt Jia are both pregnant with children, and the combination of the two is not as troublesome as Wen's.
Because an agreement had been reached, the separation of the family was not deliberately concealed, and the servants in the mansion soon knew about it. Now, the mind of the servant is a little fluctuating. Especially the people from the third room, many of them are looking for relationships, and hope that they will not be assigned to the third room when the family is separated.
The servants also have eyes, not to mention how much property the third house can get, but to meet such a stingy headed wife, the current life is not easy for people.
Wen's took care of her for a few days, and she felt that her body was fine, so she couldn't bear to lie on the bed anymore. She was so bored in the house that she wanted to let the servant girl help her walk outside. The woman sent by the old lady stopped her, and she spoke earnestly for a long time, but Wen didn't listen at all: "I just went out for a few steps, what can I do?" . Then something went wrong.
On the way for a walk, Wen heard two women talking about the separation of the family.
Wen's complexion changed, and he strode forward and asked the two women who were talking: "What are you talking about? What kind of separation?"
The two women knew something was wrong when they saw this, and they were not willing to tell the truth. One of them pointed at the other and said, "I'm talking about the separation of their natal brothers."
Although Wen's eyelids are a little shallow, his ears are still good. She clearly heard the words "Third Master" just now, and the brother of the old lady's family can be called "Third Master". Wen said with a cold face: "What's going on? Tell me clearly?"
The two women are also long-standing servants in the mansion, so they are naughty! Seeing this, she knew more and more that she was wrong, and she killed her without telling the truth. Who knows what will happen if the truth is told? In case Wen's fetus moves again, they will definitely have no good fruit to eat. Chunlan, who caused the third wife to move her fetus, was betrayed by the third master.
Wen Shi was very angry, what she hated most was this kind of slave who didn't take her seriously. But she can't do anything to these people, because the deed of prostitution is no longer in her hands. But if the two women didn't talk about it, it didn't mean she couldn't find out what was going on.
Back at Biteng Courtyard, General Wen called her mother-in-law who was serving her, and asked, "Everyone is talking about family separation, what's going on? Can you explain clearly to me?"
The mother-in-law knew that it would be no good for Wen Shi to go out. She told the maids in the Biteng courtyard to come, but she couldn't control the people outside: "Madam, this matter is a long story. Madam should ask the master at night!" Wen Shi The fetus is not safe yet, and she is afraid that Wen's family will be separated because of her troubles, and she will be stimulated again. In case the child could not be kept, she would have to follow suit.
Wen Shi was so angry that he smashed a porcelain bottle on the ground and said sharply, "Are you going to tell me? If you don't tell me, get the hell out of here." None of them took her seriously, she, the third wife, was just a decoration.
The mother-in-law had no choice but to say lightly: "The third master thinks that the uncle has become the head of the family, and if he doesn't separate the family, people will say that he will eat his nephew, so the third master proposed to divide the family. Not only the uncle agreed to this matter , even the old lady agrees."
Wen's complexion changed drastically, and he said, "Impossible, why would the well-behaved master want to separate the family? Was it forced by Qiu?" Suddenly remembering the previous incident in Chunlan, his complexion became even worse, and he asked: "Is it because of the old duck soup last time, the big house is going to separate?"
Seeing this, the old woman had a bad intuition: "Ma'am, this matter has nothing to do with what happened to Chunlan. The third master wanted to separate the family after the uncle took over the title, but the third girl was not married at that time, so I never mentioned it." "That's what I said, but the mother-in-law knew in her heart that the eldest lady had long wanted to separate the third bedroom, and Chunlan and Fang Fang were just the fuse. If you know it, you know it, but you can't tell Wen Shi.
Where did Wen Shi believe it: "Are you telling me the truth? Could it be because the cook made a fuss before, so Qiu Shi took this opportunity to separate the family?"
The mother-in-law was so anxious that her forehead was sweating: "Madam, do you still have a child in your belly? The doctor said you can't bear it, you..." Before the mother-in-law could finish her sentence, Wen fell down.
The mother-in-law looked at the blood flowing from between Wen's legs, and her scalp felt numb. The last time Wen Shi fainted, it was rumored that he was bleeding, but in fact there was no bleeding, but this time, it was really bleeding. The mother-in-law almost yelled: "Hurry up and ask the doctor, hurry up, what are you waiting for!" Now, she must be doomed. Cough, I should have pretended to be sick in the first place and refused to accept this errand.
Wen's tire gas had not healed before, so this meeting was another stimulus. After taking the pulse, the doctor said with an ugly face: "The child can't be saved." The child couldn't be saved, and the adult was also injured.
The woman serving Wen's legs gave way and she almost sat on the ground: "Doctor, this child is my wife's lifeline! Please find a way to save this child. Doctor, please."
The doctor shook his head and said, "Third Madam is physically weak, this fetus is not safe, and has been stimulated one after another, even if Hua Tuo is alive, it will not be able to survive."
Mrs. Wen really sat on the ground now.
The doctor was quite conscientious, and prescribed a prescription for Wen's recuperation, and then he was going to go back with the medicine box on his back.
The mother-in-law quickly stopped the doctor and said, "Please come with me to see the old lady." The main thing is to ask the doctor to tell the old lady about Wen's situation. What the doctor said is more convincing than what she said.
The mother-in-law is also selfish in doing so. The responsibility for Wen's miscarriage does not rest on her. Even if the old lady is angry and wants to punish her, it will not be serious. And the old lady punished, so the third master will naturally not pursue it anymore. The mother-in-law didn't want to fall into the hands of the third master, she didn't want to follow in Chunlan's footsteps. At her age, being sent out would be a dead end.
Wen's fetus moved, and the old lady heard from Luo's mother before the doctor came. She was wondering, nothing happened in the mansion, how could Wen's tire move so well. Wen's abortion was reported before the cause was investigated. The old lady asked the doctor with a cold face: "What's going on? How did you lose the baby?"
The doctor repeated what he said to the mother-in-law before, and then said: "Actually, the third lady was physically weak. At that time, it would be better to take good care of her for a period of time before conceiving a child. Now that the child has fallen, the body has suffered a lot. It will take at least two years of recuperation before she can conceive another child." To put it simply, in order to maintain her graceful figure that could easily collapse in the wind, Wen ate very little on weekdays, resulting in a very weak body. Part of the reason for this miscarriage was stimulation, and the other half was because of her poor health.
The old lady ordered Luo's mother: "Add fifty taels of silver to the doctor." The fifty taels of silver actually meant that the doctor should not talk outside.
The doctor is not stupid, not to mention people like the Duke's Mansion, even ordinary people, he would not tell such private things, this is the minimum medical ethics of a doctor.
