Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine

After Cuizhu finished speaking, Yu's mother looked at the people sitting there with a swollen face, "Master, Madam, Old Madam, Cuizhu knows that she has caused a big disaster, and she wants to take the blame! You can't listen to her nonsense." After speaking, she went to see Sun. When Sun saw her swollen face, she felt sorry for her and completely ignored what Cuizhu said before that Xin'er was scalded.

"Master, you can't just listen to Cuizhu." Sun said softly. She knew she couldn't be too forceful now because Sun Shaohua was angry. Cuizhu's words implied that he was heartless and allowed these concubines to bully the mistress.

"Then mother, what do you think she said was wrong?" Sun Shaohua actually asked this, which made Sun a little panicked.

"...Then everyone went to the mistress's room and fed her poison. Isn't that ridiculous? Which family could have such a thing?" Sun couldn't hide her embarrassment. She acquiesced to the feeding of poison.

"I saw all the medicines you fed her today!" Sun Shaohua's voice trembled. He thought of the old horse that suddenly fell to the ground, and heard that those people actually fed her poison behind her back.

"Mother, are you still going to indulge this wicked slave and ruin our entire family?" He stared at Sun fiercely, his eyes full of anger. For the first time, he felt that his mother was getting senile!

"See it?" Sun didn't understand and looked at Butler Wang.

Butler Wang had an ugly expression on his face. He stole a glance at Xiao Lan, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Sun seemed to understand something, "You bitch! It was you who went to the county government to file a complaint!" Sun's reaction surprised everyone present, except Yu Mama and Butler Wang.

"Madam! My wife can't leave the Sun family every day. Where can I go to complain? You, Mother Yu, rushed in with your men that day, sat on my wife, opened her mouth, and stuffed the medicine into her. Now you don't care about the person who hurt her, but you actually blame our wife!" Mother Xu was really unbearable. It was disgusting! She had never seen such a shameless person.

"Then why didn't she die?" Sun sneered. "Why, that drug could kill a donkey but couldn't kill this sickly woman?"

"After she left, I drank two pots of water and spit out the medicine." Xiao Lan said lightly, with little expression on her face, as if she was not talking about her own business.

Sun Shaohua couldn't help but look at her again. She was too cold, too strange. Xiao Lan knew that Sun Shaohua was looking at her, but she really didn't want to act now, so she pretended not to see it.

Cuizhu had fainted at some point. Xiao Lan said, "Take her out, lock her up in a room, find a doctor, and give her some medicine."

Seeing how chaotic the scene was, the servants agreed and the two of them carried Cuizhu out.

"Do you still want to treat her?" Sun Shaohua couldn't help but wonder.

"Being alive is the greatest torture." Xiao Lan didn't know whether she was talking about Cuizhu or herself. Sun Shaohua felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

At first, he'd thought that if she died of illness, it would be a relief. Leaving her dowry behind would make everyone feel better, and out of sight, out of mind. But now, his mood seemed different. Xiao Lan's recent behavior had made him very satisfied. He felt that she cared about the family wholeheartedly, unlike everyone else. Although He Shi used to cheer him up, she often talked about how to prepare for a son if he gave birth, and what jewelry would be worthy of a young woman who had given birth to a son.

He now feels that Xiao Lan is qualified to be the mistress of the Sun family.

"Mother, please go back. I will assign someone else to serve you in the future." Sun Shaohua said to Sun Shi with firmness and certainty. Sun Shi wanted to say something else, but she could see from Sun Shaohua's eyes that it would be useless for her to say anything.

"Mother Yu is mine, I won't let you sell her out!"

"Mother, how did you know that the medicine could kill a donkey? I was in court for half a day today and still didn't know." Sun Shaohua leaned over and spoke softly so that only Sun could hear.

Sun was panicked, with fear in her eyes. She looked at Sun Shaohua for a long time and finally understood what he meant.

She took one last look at Yu's mother and walked out of the main hall. If she continued to protect him, poisoning Xiao Lan would probably be her own order.

When Mother Yu saw that Sun had left, the look in her eyes clearly said that she could not protect herself. Finally, Mother Yu, who had been a powerful figure in the Sun family for many years, collapsed on the ground.

Sun Shaohua didn't want to talk about the poison anymore. He could tell, and Xiao Lan could tell, that his mother probably knew something about the matter, or even had it planned. Although he wanted to make the decision for Xiao Lan, he didn't want to implicate his mother.

"Mother Yu, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not." Xiao Lan looked at Mother Yu, who was slumped on the ground, her tone still calm, "I should be thankful that I didn't die."

Sun Shaohua knew that now was the time to ask Butler Wang about the accounts.

"Master..." Xiao Lan stood up, "I want to go back and see Xin'er, I'm worried." She said lightly, but her eyes were red, and two lines of tears were about to fall.

Sun Shaohua looked at Xiao Lan, not knowing how to comfort her. He knew she had suffered too much, perhaps for her own reasons.

"Okay, I'll go later."

Xiao Lan bowed slightly, and Fang Qingqing also bowed slightly and followed him out.

"Madam..." After leaving the room and walking a few steps away from the main hall, Fang Qingqing approached Xiao Lan and called her softly, worried. She herself had never felt this kind of mother-child bond. Before, Fang Qingqing was insane and had no particular affection for her child. Her soft-hearted birth had brought her too much pain and suffering, so the original owner had little maternal love for her child. Today, when she saw Sun Shaohua about to hit Sun Jiye, she didn't even feel distressed.

"I'm fine." Xiao Lan turned around and looked at her. "I'm just worried about Xin'er getting hurt. We all know that with current medical capabilities, Xin'er will suffer greatly."

"Well, I will also help you take care of Xin'er. You don't have to carry it alone. It's different here than before. Healthy body is the most important thing. There is no glucose, vitamin coffee here to keep us alive." Fang Qingqing blinked.

Xiao Lan knew Fang Qingqing wanted to cheer her up, so she reached out and patted her shoulder. "Okay, go back and help me look after Xin'er first. Ask Jasmine, Xiaobai, and Mother Xu to buy some ice. It might be hard to find right now, so check out a few more places. They're more reliable."

"Ok. What about you?"

"I'll go see Cuizhu."

Fang Qingqing knew that Xiao Lan had her own plans, so she stopped following her and took away the worried Mother Xu.

Xiao Lan watched the group walk away and headed to the small hut in the yard where the prisoners were held. The servants weren't very smart about hiding people, so they usually kept them in the woodshed or a shabby house next to it. Cuizhu should be there.

The sound of Butler Wang kowtowing and crying could be heard from far away. Xiao Lan felt that she could still hear it even though she had walked a long way, but she did not hear Yu Mama's voice.

Xiao Lan suddenly thought of a sentence: women have stronger endurance than men.
