Chapter 318 Putting the blame on
Chapter 318 Putting the blame on
Su Qing was just guessing, there was no evidence at all.
Madam Hou came hurriedly: "What happened? What happened? How is Shanshan? How did you serve her?"
Hearing the old lady's voice, the maids who were serving her quickly stood up.
"What happened? Can the child be saved?"
"Madam, I am young and will have more children."
After hearing what the maid said, Madam Hou staggered backwards, but fortunately she was supported by Nanny Zhang.
"How come the child is gone out of nowhere? If you can't explain it clearly today, I'll drag you to a mass grave and bury you alive. Humph~ I want to see what happened."
The maids around Xu Shanshan kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Madam, please spare me, please spare me! It's not that we didn't take good care of her, it was the young master who bumped into Concubine Xu, and that's why Concubine Xu had a miscarriage! Please, Madam, please look into this!"
"Brother Nian? How could a perfectly good brother Nian bump into Shan Shan? You sluts must be making up stories to shirk responsibility."
My precious grandson is very sensible, how could he bump into Shanshan for no reason?
"Aunt~" Xu Shanshan woke up slowly and heard the old lady's words.
"Oh~~ my dear Shanshan, you scared me to death, are you feeling unwell? Call the doctor quickly!"
"Aunt, Nian Ge'er must have bumped into me accidentally. Don't blame him. What can a child understand?" Xu Shanshan said weakly.
Madam Hou's face turned very ugly. She turned to look at Aunt Zhang and said, "Go call Su Qing over. I want to ask what's going on."
"Yes, old lady, please don't be angry. I will go and call you right away."
Xu Shanshan looked at Nanny Zhang's departing back and curled her lips. "Su Qing, you have to admit it whether you want to or not."
When Su Qing heard the old lady calling her over, she knew it was no good. So she took Ruxue, Rumei, Ruhu and Ruyi to Bilingyuan.
Xu Shanshan cried even harder when she saw Su Qing coming in. "Aunt, please let Madam go back. Shanshan doesn't want to see Madam now!"
"Why don't you kneel down?" Madam Hou shouted sternly.
Su Qing looked at her stubbornly: "Excuse me, old lady, what mistake did I make? Why do I have to kneel?"
Madam Hou stared at her, her eyes full of anger: "You still don't admit it? If it weren't for your instigation, what would a child know?"
"I don't understand what the old lady said. What do you mean, "What does a child understand?" Which child?" She raised her head and looked at the old lady Hou without fear.
"I think you are pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth! You know exactly what you have done!" Old Madam Hou was so angry that her fingers were shaking.
"Then the old lady is really wrong. I have no idea. Please explain it to me clearly." Su Qing remained neither humble nor arrogant.
Madam Hou took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Let me ask you, do you know that it was Nian who hit Shanshan?"
"I heard from the servants that this is true." Su Qing answered truthfully.
"Then why don't you admit that it was you who ordered this?" An angry shout echoed throughout the room, causing everyone present to tremble.
Faced with such questioning, Su Qing simply responded calmly: "How did I instruct? Did I instruct Aunt Xu to take the hairpin to tease Nian'er? Or did I instruct her to look for Nian'er in the garden?"
At this time, Su Qing, who was standing by, had already understood. She looked at everything that was happening in front of her and pondered in her heart. The answer had actually been in front of her for a long time, but she had always been unwilling to believe that a mother would not want a child. It must be because she had seen through her conspiracy, so she was so impatient to do such a stupid thing.
However, at this moment, Xu Shanshan's gentle voice reached everyone's ears: "Aunt, don't say anything more. Nian Ge'er has always been a kind and sensible child. I believe there must be some misunderstanding."
Xu Shanshan's eyes were firm and full of trust. Obviously, she had no doubt about Nian Ge'er's character.
Then, Su Qing turned to look at Ruxue and Rumei and said softly, "You two, tell the old lady everything that happened."
So Ruxue and Rumei told the whole story. The old lady was thoughtful after listening. Did she misunderstand Su Qing? Nian'er was still so young, and she would not be bewitched by Su Qing.
Xu Shanshan was a little flustered when she saw the old lady was hesitating. She was determined to put the blame of the miscarriage on Su Qing today.
"Madam, you don't have to defend Nian'er. I never thought of blaming him. He is so cute, he wouldn't have such bad intentions. It's all my fault. I just like Nian'er when I see him, so I want to get close to him. Maybe the baby in my belly knows that it's my brother playing there, so I want to join in the fun. I just didn't expect something like this to happen."
The maidservant that Xu Shanshan brought back from the farm kowtowed vigorously and said, "Old Madam, I feel that Aunt Xu is too wronged. I saw it clearly. The young master deliberately bumped into Aunt Xu's belly. Please investigate clearly. The servants in the garden can testify. You can call the people in the garden to question them carefully."
Su Qing looked at Xu Shanshan coldly. She knew that Xu Shanshan was determined to frame her, otherwise her maid would not have pressed her so hard.
"Okay, since there are witnesses, let's call everyone in the garden over." Su Qing said calmly and composedly.
Before long, all the servants in the garden were called together.
"Tell us everything you have just seen." Old Madam Hou said in a serious and solemn tone.
However, the servants looked at each other with flickering eyes, as if they had something to hide. They stammered for a long time and could not utter a complete sentence.
"Speak!" Seeing this, Madam Hou was furious and shouted in an octave higher voice. Her eyes were like torches, staring at the servants closely, as if she wanted to see through their eyes to see their inner thoughts.
