The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death

The sound of beating boards outside the yard was endless.

The second wife sat there, her hands clenched tightly under her sleeves.

But her face remained expressionless, and she even had a hint of a smile on her face. "Second Auntie really misjudged me. I didn't expect Mother Jiang to do such a thing and let the Second Miss suffer."

Shen Tang said, "It's just that Mother Jiang is gone, and my yard is missing a mother who can take care of it..."

Seeing Shen Tang looking at the old lady, the second wife thought she was going to ask the old lady for a housekeeper again, so she immediately interrupted her, "Second Miss just asked the old lady for Qiu Tong, so you can't set your sights on the people in the old lady's courtyard anymore. Madam Liu in my courtyard is not bad, I'll have her go to Qingyi Garden to serve you later."

He really won't give up until he gets someone close to her.

Can Shen Tang let the second wife succeed?

Shen Tang said, "Second Aunt helps manage the household, busying herself both inside and outside. The people around her are all capable and indispensable. Second Aunt doesn't even let me ask Grandmother for help, so I dare not cause trouble for Second Aunt's housekeeping."

As he spoke, Shen Tang looked at the old lady and said, "I remember that Mother Jiang came to take care of me after Mother Zhou left. Back then, Mother Zhou made a mistake, and my grandmother punished her by sending her to the farm. Now, ten years have passed, and I don't know if she is still alive. I want to find Mother Zhou..."

Mother Zhou was Jiang's confidant and was responsible for taking care of Shen Tang when Jiang was alive.

However, when Shen Tang was five years old, Shen Xian wanted the Nine Rings Linked Together, but Shen Tang refused to give it to her. The two of them were pulling each other in the garden. Mother Zhou supported Shen Tang and did not bother to support Shen Xian. Shen Xian grabbed the Nine Rings Linked Together, sat down on the ground, and twisted her arm. The old lady was heartbroken. The wet nurse who served Shen Xian was afraid of taking responsibility, so she complained that Mother Zhou had pried Shen Tang's hands apart and deliberately made Shen Xian fall.

During her lifetime, Jiang was indifferent and even hostile to Shen Xian. Mother Zhou was Jiang's confidant, so naturally she didn't care about Shen Xian as much as Shen Tang. The Second Wife felt that if such a person stayed with Shen Tang, it would sooner or later instigate discord between the sisters Shen Tang and Shen Xian.

The old lady has always felt sorry for Shen Xi and has long been dissatisfied with Zhou Mama's favoritism towards Shen Tang. She turned a blind eye to it before when nothing happened, but now that Shen Xi has been injured, how could the old lady tolerate it?

The old lady beat Mother Zhou with a stick and wanted to sell her out of the house. At that time, the human traffickers were called into the house. Shen Sui happened to come back. Shen Sui and Jiang had a deep relationship. Mother Zhou was the most trusted person around Jiang. In addition, she was devoted to Shen Tang, so Shen Sui did not let her be sold and asked someone to send Mother Zhou to Jiang's dowry farm.

Ten years have passed, and Shen Tang still doesn't know whether Mother Zhou is dead or alive. She feels she has let down her mother's love for her by letting the people left behind by her mother be bullied like this.

The Second Wife looked at Shen Tang. She had already believed what Mother Jiang said, that Shen Tang had deliberately used the gold hairpin to plot against her. However, it was useless to know. If Mother Jiang herself was not greedy, no matter how big the hole Shen Tang dug, he would not be able to bury her.

The Second Wife said, "Mother Zhou was sent out of the house because she made a mistake. How can we bring her back?"

Shen Tang was not afraid of the second wife's obstruction, because obstruction meant that Mother Zhou was still alive. If Mother Zhou was dead, the second wife would not waste her words with her.

Shen Tang was relieved, but also inevitably angry. "Although my eldest sister and I were both born to our mother, Mother Zhou was only responsible for taking care of me. She should have always put me first. When my eldest sister fell and was injured, the wet nurse who was responsible for taking care of her was also there. I was struggling with my eldest sister, but why was Mother Zhou able to support me, but my eldest sister's wet nurse couldn't support my eldest sister?"

"Nanny, since you saw Mama Zhou prying my hands apart, why didn't you support my eldest sister? Didn't you just stand aside and watch the fun?"

"Eldest Sister's wet nurse wasn't punished, yet Mother Zhou was sent to the farm for ten years. Isn't that enough punishment?"

A series of questions were thrown at the second wife, leaving her speechless.

The old lady also came to her senses. At that time, Shen Xi injured her arm and was crying and making a fuss. The old lady was angry and did not think about it carefully. Now, after hearing Shen Tang's questioning, she realized that there was a big problem with Shen Xi's wet nurse. She saw with her own eyes that Mother Zhou pried Shen Tang's hand open, so why didn't she take precautions? If the wet nurse had served Shen Xi diligently, how could she let Shen Xi fall and get injured?

It is indeed biased to simply blame Mother Zhou for being partial to Shen Tang.

Shen Tang said with red eyes, "This time my mother came to me in my dream to prevent any rift between me and my eldest sister. This was the first time I truly felt my mother's love for me. When my mother passed away, I was just two years old. My father was busy, so I rarely went to the Jiang family. All my memories of my mother were told to me by Mother Zhou.

Mother Zhou wasn't sent out of the mansion because I wasn't taking good care of me. I shouldn't have ignored her for ten years. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to plead for her and take her into the mansion. Even if I didn't care about anything, just telling me about Mother's life in the boudoir and in the mansion would be fine. I didn't expect that before I even opened my mouth, Mother Jiang made a mistake and was kicked out..."

"I'm currently in need of a caregiver. I believe the arrangements made by my mother are the best. I also ask Grandma to allow me to take Mother Zhou back."

Shen Tang stood up and knelt. The old lady didn't expect Shen Tang to beg her for a servant, so she hurriedly said, "Hurry up, grandma has given you permission."

"Thank you, Grandma."

Shen Tang stood up with sobs, tears sparkling in his eyes, making people feel pity for him.

Shen Tang sat back and sat for a while, then stood up and took his leave, taking Ginkgo and Qiu Tong back to Qingyi Garden.

Ginkgo covered her face all the way back. She had often been scolded by Mother Jiang before, but this was the first time she was beaten. The slap made her mouth taste bloody. However, when she thought about Mother Jiang who was beaten with forty sticks and sold half to death, and would never be able to act arrogantly in Qingyi Garden again, she felt that the slap was worth it.

The maids in the Garden of Clear Ripple have been oppressed by Mama Jiang for a long time. Their monthly wages are always reduced by Mama Jiang. When they come back, the tasks assigned to them are also easy, and those who are not good at talking have to do more work. Knowing that Mama Jiang will not come back, the maids in the yard are all very happy. However, there are also some who are unhappy, such as Biliu, who spent a lot of money to ask Mama Jiang for help to be promoted to a maid. Now Mama Jiang herself has been sold, and her money has been wasted.

After returning to the house, Shen Tang took the ointment and applied it to Ginkgo. Ginkgo said, "Miss, the ointment is precious. I have thick skin and flesh, so I will be healed quickly without the use of medicine."

Shen Tang scolded her, "Medicine is for people to use. I kept it. Do you want me to get beaten?"

ginkgo,"……"

That's not what she meant. She just felt that a little maid like her was not worthy of using such good medicine.

But she didn't dare to say anything in rebuttal. She would rather the medicine go bad than let the girl get hurt again.

Shen Tang helped Ginkgo apply medicine. She knew that Mother Jiang would resist and would not easily admit her guilt, but she did not expect Mother Jiang to hit people and make Ginkgo suffer such a great injustice. Shen Tang must compensate her. She happened to have a pair of gold bracelets in her hand, one for Ginkgo and one for Qiu Tong.

Ginkgo didn't expect Shen Tang to reward her with a gold bracelet, and Qiutong didn't expect it even more.

Shen Tang said to Qiu Tong, "I know you're reluctant to leave Grandma. Don't worry, follow me from now on. I won't treat you unfairly."

"I also hope that you and Ginkgo can get along as close as sisters."

Qiu Tong knelt down and said, "Since I have followed you, you will be my master from now on. I will be loyal to you."

She was a little reluctant to leave the old lady, but she also knew that it was not easy for her to get the position of head maid in Songhe Hall. If there was a vacancy, it would be difficult for her to take it. If she went to the second lady's side, she would be the head maid directly.

The second girl had specifically asked the old lady for her favor, and she would not neglect her, but she did not expect that the second girl would directly reward her with a gold bracelet, the same as the ginkgo that had been with her for several years.
