Chapter 153 Poisoning
As Lin Ruoxuan finished her words, everyone looked at the Fourth Madam with increasingly strange eyes.
Although the wife of the main house also has concubines that she dislikes, she would not bully them like this.
As a woman, I naturally know that for a woman, this matter will force her to think in a different way.
Lin Ruoxuan glanced at her fourth uncle who was still sitting upright, and couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
"And that Miss Wu, I heard she got pregnant a while ago. It's a pity that Fourth Aunt didn't want the child to be born, and she actually used the Wu family to force Miss Wu to beat the child. I wonder if Fourth Aunt still remembers this?"
As soon as Lin Ruoxuan finished speaking, the courtyard, which had been noisy a moment ago, suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the fourth lady in shock.
No matter how chaotic the house was, no one would lay a hand on the pregnant woman or the baby.
Only those concubines who are not worthy of being in public would resort to such dirty tricks behind the scenes.
But he didn't dare let anyone find out. If he was discovered, he would probably be sold out.
But the fourth wife did the same thing. A mistress of the house actually used despicable means that even concubines would not use to harm others. This is really...
The old lady sitting behind the screen looked very unhappy when she heard the noise.
Although the fourth child was born out of wedlock, she is still a child of the Lin family.
Now, the heir of the fourth branch was actually plotted to death by the mistress of the house. If this were to be made public, people would probably criticize him.
The master of the fourth room had remained silent until now, but when he heard that Mrs. Wu's child was killed by the fourth lady, he immediately stood up and glared at the fourth lady with an angry face.
The fourth wife was extremely panicked and did not dare to look the fourth master in the eye. The fingers that were holding the handkerchief turned white from the nervousness.
"Master, don't listen to what Sister Xuan says. This... this is all slander..."
The fourth master was so angry that veins appeared on the backs of his clenched hands from the force.
Wu Xiaoniang was his most beloved concubine. Some time ago, the baby in Wu Xiaoniang's belly suddenly died. He thought that it was because Wu Xiaoniang was young and could not raise the child well, which led to the death of the child.
But he never expected that it was actually his wife who did all this.
The Fourth Master felt ironic when he thought of the gentleness and generosity his wife had shown in front of him in the past.
"Master, it's not me. It's really not me. I didn't do these things. It's all Sister Xuan who wanted to frame me and slander me with these things."
Looking at the Fourth Master's expression, the Fourth Lady tried her best to explain, but the Fourth Master and no one around him believed her.
Including the sixth great uncle who was talking to her at the beginning, now he closed his eyes and was unwilling to look or listen more.
If Lin Ruoxuan had not told them about what happened in the fourth room before, they might still believe that Lin Ruoxuan might have slandered the fourth room.
But after Lin Ruoxuan laid out all the things that happened in the fourth room one by one, they remembered what the fourth room had done before.
They also heard a little about the fourth concubine being raped, and at the time they just thought that the concubine couldn't stand the loneliness and shamelessly found a man outside.
Now, after hearing what Lin Ruoxuan said, they realized that the matter was full of loopholes.
Not to mention that the concubine has never left the fourth room's mansion since she entered it, even her maid has never had any contact with other men.
The master and servant were rescued from Fengyue Tower by the Fourth Master. Perhaps the only person they can rely on is the Fourth Master.
They don't believe that these two people would do such a bold thing just for love and selfish desires.
They had also heard about the children from the fourth room breaking off their engagements.
As for Wu Xiaoniang's matter, the Fourth Master also knew that it was probably related to the Fourth Madam.
It was just because the Fourth Lady said that Wu Xiaoniang was pushed by Qiu Xiaoniang's son. At that time, Qiu Xiaoniang said that her son was framed and hoped that he could send someone to investigate.
But the fourth master was still angry at the time, how could he think so much? In the end, Qiu Xiaoniang's son was beaten half to death. The fourth lady also took the excuse that it was too late and Qiu Xiaoniang's son had made a mistake again, and failed to call a doctor for the young man in time. Qiu Xiaoniang's son had a high fever and died.
But Qiu Xiaoniang could not bear the pain of losing her son, so she left a confession and a hemp rope to follow her son.
This incident caused a lot of uproar at the time. When the Fourth Master returned home again, the bodies of the concubine and the illegitimate son were only wrapped in two mats, without even a coffin.
Thinking back to the past, the fourth master's eyes turned red with anger.
He originally thought that he was unlucky, which made him unable to raise any child except his wife's. Even if he did raise them, they were weak and sickly.
Unexpectedly, he kept a vicious woman by his side, who cut off his chance of having descendants.
"Oh, I was wondering why Nan Ge'er, such a well-behaved child, would push people back? Turns out he was framed."
"That's right. The relationship between Miss Qiu and Miss Wu is like that of sisters. They have helped each other a lot in the past. I didn't expect that the Fourth Madam would not only frame Miss Wu, but also use such a sinister method. This is too vicious."
"Who says it's not true? That decent lady can use such despicable means. It's true that she took a look at her mother in the past, killed the lady in the mansion, and took the opportunity to climb into the master's bed. It's a pity that she was only a concubine until her death..."
The Fourth Madam's affairs were revealed piece by piece, making her feel like she had been stripped naked, with nowhere to hide.
The Fourth Madam looked at the Fourth Master pleadingly. Although the Fourth Master was angry, he did not forget the purpose of their visit today and swallowed the anger in his heart.
What's more, if he attacks his wife for the sake of a concubine, he would probably be labeled as a man who favors his concubine over his wife, and he was unwilling to bear such an infamy.
Looking at the Fourth Master's expression, the Fourth Lady couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Lin Ruoxuan said, "Fourth Uncle, my niece heard something a few days ago."
The fourth lady's heart skipped a beat and she glared at Lin Ruoxuan warningly.
However, how could Lin Ruoxuan be someone who could be threatened by her?
She didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Fourth House. But some people wanted to stretch their claws in front of her, so don't blame her for chopping them off!
The fourth master also had a hunch that something was wrong, "What's going on?"
"My niece heard that Fourth Aunt often gave medicine to the concubines in the mansion in the early years. I heard that Fourth Aunt had just given the medicine and could not control the dosage for a while, and killed two or three concubines. Now she can control the dosage, but it has been so long. I don't know how many days the concubines in Fourth Uncle's mansion can live."
