Chapter 612: knife in the back
Chapter 612 Knife in the Back
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Ke Guangji asked again: "Then what? These things have nothing to do with you, but the head of the Lu family said that you offended An Guogong's elder sister. That's the next question. What's going on?"
Mrs. Ke has never been so humiliated in front of the younger generation. She wanted to cry, make trouble, and hang herself, but before she could execute it, Ke Guangji coldly threatened: "Think about whether to solve the problem properly, or make another one for the old man. There is no guarantee in the evening, if you don’t explain it properly and find a way to put things to rest, then I can only sacrifice you to keep the entire Ke family! Think about whether it is wealth, honor, and glory that are important, or your worthless dignity!”
Mrs. Ke was literally hit by Ke Guangji's lifeline. If there is no wealth and glory, what's the point of living? After thinking about the pros and cons, Mrs. Ke gritted her teeth and continued: "When the next person came to report, my first reaction was whether the eldest grandson was injured. After learning that he was all right, he was just a little frightened. I was relieved. I am angry with those maids, if they are not careful, how could my eldest grandson be scared?
At that time, I wanted to punish all the servants, but this incident alarmed my mother-in-law, and even a few concubines received rumors. If I punished Luo Yi and that little girl, my mother-in-law would be unhappy, so I even No matter how unhappy they were, I still hired a doctor for them, thinking that they would settle accounts with them after this incident. Who knew that their injuries would be so serious.
The scald at the beginning turned into a festering pus. In the end, the scalded area was rotten, and a high fever developed. I was shocked when I learned about this. I was afraid that they would die in the house. They took them away, but after seeing their situation, Renyazi shook their heads and refused to accept them, so I had no choice but to pay them back and drive them out of the house.”
The second lady and several others were stunned, even the uncle and the three brothers stared in shock. Only the eldest lady lowered her head and said nothing, obviously she knew it too.
After being shocked, Uncle looked down at his mother-in-law and asked, "You know this too, right?"
The eldest lady shook her head in fear, "Master, I only heard about it after the fact. Originally, I wanted to trouble Luo Yi, who asked her to stop our son in trouble, but I stopped after knowing that she was injured and disfigured. Mind, I swear, I really didn't do anything!"
Uncle looked at her flickering eyes, and it was clear that he was guilty. He was so angry that he almost didn't catch his breath, "What time are you still playing with me! Did you wait until the Ke family was over before you knew what was wrong?"
The eldest lady cried bitterly and shook her head frantically, "Master, I didn't know that things would turn out like this. Back then, I just felt sorry for the child, and I tried to relieve my anger for a while, and only then did I order someone to accept it when Luo Yi left the house. All their money! Uncle, I really know I'm wrong!"
"What?" Mrs. Ke was shocked.
Ke Guangji's eyes fell dangerously on Mrs. Ke, and he asked meaningfully, "Who was in charge when you did these things, and in whose name?"
Madam didn't dare to say a word.
Mrs. Ke came back to her senses and was so angry that she said, "Okay! I didn't expect you to be behind me! Your son got into trouble, I came to vent his anger, but you did bad things in my name behind your back. Boss! Our Ke family can't want such a woman, if you dare to intercede for her, I won't recognize you as a son!"
Uncle Ke is really the first and the second, "Mother, now is not the time to talk about these things! No matter how many children there are, don't have to wait for the Ke family to get through this difficult time!"
"The boss is right. After this is over, I will settle accounts with you!" Ke Guangji pointed to Mrs. Ke and Mrs. Ke and said.
The two women named by him all turned pale, but they had to agree.
"Father, what should we do now? Go to the Anguo Gong's Mansion to plead guilty?" Ke Erye asked cautiously.
Ke Guangji fell into deep thought, and it took a long time before he said quietly, "I'll go visit Madam Ruan first and then talk about it!"
Everyone was surprised to hear this name, but at this moment, everyone would not think about those messy things.
Mrs. Ke also wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible, and even took the initiative to prepare a generous gift for Ke Guangji.
Ruan Yuzhu was making calculations at home and was quite surprised to hear that Ke Guangji came to the door. Thinking of the things about dressing with a nose and eyes during this time, she had a bottom line in her heart. She wanted to avoid it, but finally changed her mind and said with the housekeeper: " Clan Master Ke, please come in."
As soon as Ke Guangji entered, he handed the things over to the butler who was standing on the side.
Ruan Yuzhu narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "Patriarch Ke is going to the Three Treasures Hall without incident!"
"Mrs. Ruan is out! It's just something for a few children!" Ke Guangji sat down with a smile, looking rather calm,
He didn't say anything, and Ruan Yuzhu didn't ask any questions. All he talked about was something and nothing, but after a few back and forth, Ke Guangji couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Mrs Ruan, the old man came here today is actually a ruthless person. Please, I hope Madam Ruan can help you with the next little favor."
"This is strange! I'm a woman, what can I do to help the head of the Ke family?" Ruan Yuzhu's expression was impeccable, even Ke Guangji couldn't help but scold her, but she still said very sincerely: "If you want to come, Mrs. Ruan also knows Some of the origins between my family and Mrs. Xie, the elder sister of Duke Anguo. Today, the old man has the cheek to ask Mrs. Ruan for help. The old man is really ignorant of what happened in those days.
It's just that the matter has come to an end and the damage has been done. Even if we want to make up for it, we can't make up for the hardships and sins she has endured over the years. If there is any way to make Mrs. Xie feel better, they can mention it, and we will definitely try our best to do it.
The difficulty now is that the Duke of Anguo is avoiding us, so Madam Ruan has this face, so she has no choice but to trouble you.”
Ke Guangji said it with sincerity, and Ruan Yuzhu almost believed her sincere repentance, she said with emotion: "It turned out to be this, I really heard some gossip, but I didn't expect it to be true, since The head of the Ke family has come to the door in person, if I refuse directly, it would be inhumane, so I can try to talk to the door, but I can't guarantee whether Mrs. Xie is willing to sell me this face."
"It doesn't matter! As long as Mrs. Ruan is willing to help, whether it is successful or not, the old man is grateful. I heard that Mrs. Ruan had taken a fancy to the shop on the corner of Jiajia East Street. It happened that my family bought it during the yamen business. It was just fine. Give it to Mrs. Ruan, thank Mrs. Ruan, and hope that Mrs. Ruan will not refuse." Ke Guangji said, put the shop's deed on the table, and then left.
