Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 426 The Grand Finale (19)
Following her incoherent narration, Gu Qingmei finally summed up what happened.

It turned out that the third lady, on the surface, seemed to be eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha, but in fact, she was just as ruthless as Gu Qingmei guessed.

Ever since Murong Ye took the first concubine, she has used a kind of drug to control these concubines and their children. If the concubines and their children behave disobediently, they will be imprisoned by her. In the basement, no food, drink, or antidote was given.

According to Gu Qingmei's guess, the so-called drugs should have similar effects to the drugs in the world before she traveled.

This addictive drug is better than any other means to control people.

Then in ordinary days, these concubines and their children will do needlework for sale in the embroidery shop opened by the third wife. Even the sons are no exception, and they have to learn how to do embroidery.

All their food and clothing must be exchanged for their own hands.

Whenever someone is disobedient, the drug will be discontinued at the slightest, and they will be killed directly at the worst.

Moreover, in the yard, the third wife never let them call her mother, they can only call her madam.

Murong Qiuxiang shuddered and cried: "Three years ago, the eldest sister was only 15 years old. Because she was old enough to be married, she thought she could escape from this prison, and said some happy things in secret, but the third lady found out." , forced her to be dumb, and then sold her to a brothel in other places. But to the outside world, she said that her eldest sister was dead."

Gu Qingmei couldn't help being a little horrified when she heard it, what a cruel method and what a ruthless heart it must be to do such a cruel thing.

"Then what do you want from me?" Although she sympathized with what happened to Murong Qiuxiang, she still had some doubts in her heart.

"We don't want to live like this anymore. Now the princess is gone, and the prince is getting old. If there is no one, the family will be divided into mansions. The third lady is now in the mansion, so it is difficult to let go Repair us with hands and feet, if one day the division of the government goes out, then we will all have no way out. I know the big brother knows a good doctor, I want to ask the big brother to help us to see if the poison in us can be cured medicine?"

As Murong Qiuxiang said, she knelt down to Gu Qingmei again, "Sister-in-law, please help us!"

"Is what you said true?" At this moment, a gloomy figure came out of the bedroom inside.

Murong Qiuxiang was startled, she crumpled and collapsed on the ground. She looked at the old man who came out of the bedroom in horror, "Grandfather... grandfather?"

Gu Qingmei hurriedly stood up, and said with deep eyes: "Grandpa, please sit down!"

Because she was worried that she would fall into some trap, she specially asked Mother Chun to report the matter to the old prince, and then asked Mother Chun to accompany the old prince to hide in the bedroom in advance, and then let her attract Murong Qiuxiang.

In this case, even if the third wife used Murong Qiuxiang to frame her, she would have the most powerful witness.

But she didn't expect that what Murong Qiuxiang told her would be such a thrilling thing.

Murong Ning sat down with the support of Gu Qingmei, his eyes were like lightning, staring at Murong Qiuxiang, who was kneeling and slumped on the ground, his body trembled slightly because of anger, "Tell me, is what you said just now true?"

"Grandfather, granddaughter dare not lie to grandfather, it is indeed true at this time." Murong Qiuxiang did not expect Murong Ning to be here, after a brief moment of stupefaction, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Murong Ning.

"Then why didn't you come and tell me sooner?"

Murong Qiuxiang cried and said: "The servant girl next to me belongs to the third lady and keeps staring at me all the time. If it wasn't for the witty sister-in-law in the lobby who caught that maid this time, I wouldn't even have the chance to tell the truth."

"Okay, you said the dungeon in the courtyard of the third lady, where is the entrance?"

"It's just under the third lady's house. The mechanism is the incense burner on the altar in the Buddhist hall. Turn right three times and you can open the door of the cellar." Murong Qiuxiang didn't dare to hide anything, and told everything she knew obediently.

"In that case, Brother Yu, daughter-in-law, you should find someone right now, just say that I lost something, and you want to seal the house and search it."

"Yes!" Gu Qingmei agreed, and took a deep look at Murong Qiuxiang. She felt that this girl was really courageous and thoughtful enough. Most importantly, she knew people and knew that she had found her. , Maybe I can help her, and it is inevitable that I will love talents in my heart.

But this is not the time for her to think about this matter, she hurriedly took Chun's mother back to the front yard, found Murong Yu and Su Chenqing, and told the matter, Murong Yu was naturally taken aback.

He has been in this mansion for so many years, but he has never found out that the third wife is secretly controlling concubines and concubines and concubines in such a way. He couldn't help being very angry, and immediately mobilized twenty guards. After gathering more than a dozen housekeepers who had already taken refuge in the crown prince, a group of people came to the courtyard of the third lady in a mighty manner.

After breaking open the courtyard door to express her intention, Gu Qingmei used the excuse given by the old prince to talk about the matter, saying that the prince's things were lost and the mansion would be closed for search.

Naturally, the servants at the gate didn't dare to stop her. Even if she didn't see the little girl Gu Qingmei's film, Huo Yanwang was standing by. In this mansion, who doesn't know that Huoyan Wang spoiled his wife to the sky, that is Lord who wants the stars but not the moon.

Gu Qingmei led a group of maids and women into the bedroom of the third lady.

The third lady was sleeping, when she heard the movement, she came out with her clothes on, and asked with a livid face, "Brother Yu, daughter-in-law, what are you doing here in the middle of the night, instead of keeping watch for the princess in the front hall?"

Gu Qingmei smiled and said: "Third Aunt, I'm really sorry, it's just that my grandfather lost something important and ordered me to seal the house and search it, so I had no choice but to disturb Third Aunt's dream! "

The third lady's face couldn't help but become even uglier, she said sharply: "You mean, all the people in my yard are thieves?"

"I didn't say that, it's just that everyone is suspicious, even me. Grandpa just searched my place and found nothing, so he ordered me to bring someone to search Third Aunt's place. "

Hearing what she said, the third lady had no reason to stop her from searching, so she could only ask angrily: "What is it that was lost? You have to tell me, don't just put something in my place to frame me." I."

"Look at what Third Aunt said, how dare I do such a wicked thing?" Gu Qingmei said with a smile. "What was lost was the token of love between my grandfather and Mrs. Jun, an orchid hairpin, not worth a lot of money, but it has commemorative significance. I don't know who stole it. Don't worry, third aunt, grandpa told me Said, Mrs. Jun's name is on that hairpin, and Third Aunt cannot be wronged."
