C153 The Interrogation of Song and Li

tofu hyacinth took a few deep breaths before he could suppress the anger in his heart. He spoke to Mian Niang with a serious attitude: "Mian Niang, you are still young and don't understand. You should know that anger and anger can't solve anything.

Mian Niang did not utter a word, the tofu hyacinth pouted and got on the carriage. The Elementary Scholar looked at Mian Niang, wanted to say something, but was stopped by his mother.

The servant drove away.

Mian Niang turned around and saw that her mother was in a daze. She did not know when this little brother had walked out of the house and was also staring at the pastries on the ground in a daze.

She walked over, touched the boy's cheek and said: "Don't look at this. If you want to eat it in the future, Sis A will buy it for you."

"There's no need for Sis A s. I don't want to eat it. I really don't want to eat it at all."

The child was afraid that the big sister wouldn't believe him, so she raised the cornbread seed in her hand and said to Sis A: "That thing seems to be even better than that. Sis A, you don't know, this cornbread seed has a tofu brain, it tastes really good!"

Mian Niang touched the river crab and touched his ear, the corners of her mouth pulled up into a smile.

Since she was already here as a child, how could she not know if Brother really wants to eat it or not?

Since his younger brother was so sensible, his family life had always been like this.

"Alright, when Sis A comes back tonight, I'll stew some tofu for you to eat."

Even though they made tofu at home, they did not always eat it. Cabbage, potatoes, pumpkin, and radishes were the real dishes at home. Eating tofu could really be considered a better life.

He turned to Madame Song and softly called out, "Mother."

Madame Song Li's gaze fell on her body, but she did not say anything. It was unknown what she was thinking until Mian Niang turned around to return to the bean curd.

Mian Niang followed her mother into the house.

Madame Song Li supported herself with a walking stick as she sat on the brick bed. Mian Niang obediently stood in front of the window, waiting for her mother to ask.

Madame Song hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Let me ask you. Is the Elementary Scholar really suffering from some sort of hidden ailment?"

Mian Niang blankly raised her head: "What hidden ailment does Mother mean?"

Lady Song Li saw her confused expression and gradually realized that something was wrong. She could only change the way she said, "How about this, you tell me all the things that happened in your bridal chamber back then?"

"Huh?" Mian Niang glanced at Mother, and shyly lowered her head: "How do I say this?"

"I'm your mother, so what can't I say?"

Madame Song Li herself wasn't willing to discuss these matters, but she was now anxious to know the situation from the start.

Mian Niang lowered his head and told her everything that happened on the first night of their marriage.

He occasionally raised his head, but could not see what his mother was thinking. However, his expression only grew weirder and weirder.

She felt apprehensive. Not only did she not heave a sigh of relief after she told him about the situation, but she also found it strange.

When she heard that the Elementary Scholar was suffering from a hidden illness, she had felt that the Elementary Scholar was in a bad condition and had yet to recover. However, she didn't think too much about it, and seeing her mother's expression, it seemed like things weren't as simple as she thought.

"Is it the same for the other roommates as well?"

After all, this was a shameful question, so Madame Song Li didn't know how to put it bluntly, and could only ask it in a roundabout way.

Mian Niang nodded his head: "More or less, only one. He pinched and bit it, exactly the same as you said he would hurt."

"He pinched you and bit you?" Madame Song and Li's eyes were wide open, and her voice also carried urgency.

Mian Niang nodded.

"This bastard!"

Madame Song Li's walking stick hit the edge of the brick bed, "She deserves it. To let him have this disease, this is repayment for her actions in the modern world."

Mian Niang looked at her fierce look, and did not dare to speak.

She looked at Mian Niang who was standing in front of her, examined him for a long time, and suddenly asked: "What did you and that Gu Xin do?"

Mian Niang opened her eyes wide in shock, and looked at her mother in disbelief. Her face suddenly turned pale white, and beads of perspiration quickly appeared on her forehead.

"Mother?"

She looked pleadingly at her mother, wondering how her mother knew and how she was going to deal with her.

"I have known about this matter for a long time. I have only said it to leave you some face, but now, you can't pretend that this has not happened. You must explain to me clearly what happened and why it happened."

Mian Niang did not know where to start from, and started talking about Gu Heng, who was one of the main culprits behind the destruction of their family, something that she could not face compared to the Elementary Scholar status. If not for the enmity between Gu Han and Prince Rong, Ah Ge would not have ended up being sent to the border as a target, and her resentment towards Gu Heng was not much less than towards the Elementary Scholar status, but she did not know what to do.

Whether it was the Prince Rong or the young master of the Hou clan, they were all top figures to their family. Even if they wanted to take revenge, with their family's current situation, they could only think about it.

"Don't think that I'm making things difficult for you. It's just that if you don't clarify this matter, it will become a disaster sooner or later. That Elementary Scholar is suffering from a hidden disease and is unable to get back with you. This is something that everyone knows. If you had your body ruined by that Gu Xin, you would be unable to hide it in the future and our entire family would be in trouble. "

Madame Song said helplessly.

Hearing that the Elementary Scholar was abusing a river crab for her daughter, her heart softened for a moment. What A Yunniang said was right, this marriage was decided by their authority as the parents, Mian Niang had never rejected it, she just did not expect that the family would be so vicious.

felt even more embarrassed than before after hearing his mother's question, but he still couldn't resist her question. He told her everything, including the matter of him digging a trap deep in the forest and setting up a trap in order to refuse Gu Xin.

"You …" The tofu hyacinth sighed, "If only he had such a strong personality, he wouldn't have reached his current state."

"Your daughter understands. Your daughter has wanted to die several times, but she couldn't do anything to herself. In the end, it would involve your brother and me. You should have died a hundred times already."

Madame Song Li shot her a glance. With her daughter's expression, she really couldn't say something like "go to hell", but if saying her daughter wasn't wrong, then she was even more unwilling to admit it.

Her own personality wasn't that tough, but she still felt that her daughter was too weak back then, which resulted in all the suffering she had today.

In the end, she could only wave her hand and chase him out: "Go sell your tofu. Others asking about the Mei Family need not respond.

"I know."

Mian Niang promised to leave, but was stopped by her.

She wanted to tell her that she was still a river crab girl, but she didn't know how to say it. This seemed to be even harder to say than asking her about those things, and she was now regretting that she should have told her about it before her wedding, instead of giving her a full lecture on the eve of her marriage, so she didn't know what was going on. In the end, he wanted to say something but hesitated and chased her out again.

Mian Niang didn't think that his mother already knew about Gu Yan's matters. Other than being afraid, she only felt relieved, and didn't worry about how his mother would explain it if she found out in the future. But after feeling relieved, she felt extremely ashamed.

It was for no other reason than to implicate his parents and siblings.

Now she finally understood why his mother treated her so harshly. It must have been because his mother had known about this earlier that she was unwilling to forgive him.

Thinking of this, her heart once again surged with endless melancholy. She just didn't know what she should do, what she should do, in order to dispel the resentment in her mother's heart.

For a moment, she hoped that her mother would never forgive her. If her mother really forgave her, then in her heart, she felt even more apologetic.

Song Zhien had already finished his breakfast and was using a broom to sweep the dim sum in front of his door into the ditch.

Seeing her, he called out to Sis A.

Mian Niang replied confusedly. She went inside and put on her cotton jacket, preparing to sell tofu.

Song Zhien did not know what his mother had said to Sis A in the room that took so long. Seeing him walk out wearing a cotton-padded jacket and a felt hat, Song Zhien hurriedly walked over and asked: "Sis A, will there really be tofu tonight?"

"Huh?"

Seeing his brother's expectant expression, Mian Niang recalled the promise he made before and quickly replied: "En, I will."

The child got the promise and happily went to burn the brick bed for his mother.

Mian Niang turned around a little worriedly, then drove away with the hairy donkey cart.

It was not a secret that the tofu hyacinth came to visit again. At that time, there were no people on the streets, but for some reason, the news spread. Very quickly, the villagers found out.

When Mian Niang was selling tofu, there were people who asked her what was going on. Then why did Mei Family's mother and son come over three times, did they come to cause trouble?

filigree, Aunt Chen and the others all reminded her not to be afraid. With them helping in everything, she would never let them suffer a loss.

Mian Niang followed his mother's instructions and could only smile while shaking her head, as she did not want to implicate them. That family was not some upright and good person, and if she went today, she might come back another day.

She couldn't get any answers out of them, so it wasn't good to ask.

However, A Yunniang's expression was strange, there was a smile in his eyes when he looked at Mian Niang, as if he understood something.

Mian Niang was frightened by her gaze. After picking up the tofu, she drove away.

Very soon, Mian Niang found out what A Yunniang was smiling about.

Two days later, A Yunniang came to the Song Family residence, called Madame Song and Li into Mian Niang's room, and told them everything he knew.

So the news of the Elementary Scholar's disease spread throughout the academy, attracting the ridicule of his classmates, and he no longer had the face to go to the academy to study. This time, he missed out on his fall, and was wholeheartedly trying to correct his own name, but the person who exposed him was already nowhere to be found. Then, he thought of an idea to take in a concubine of his own, and the person he picked was the maid whose family had sold the death contract.
