Chapter 123 My sister-in-law was kidnapped
Chapter 123 My sister-in-law was kidnapped
He Tinglan's sister-in-law Xiao Cuihua was kidnapped by bandits. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 2 taels and specifically asked Xiao Yihua, the son of the Xiao family, to deliver the ransom.
When this news reached the Xiao Mansion, Xiao's mother was immediately frightened out of her wits and asked He Tinglan to quickly send someone to call Xiao Yihua back to the mansion and bring silver to redeem him.
Everyone knew that Xiao Yihua was at Bai Yueguang's house at this time.
He Tinglan sent the old housekeeper away, and soon the old housekeeper came back dejectedly, "Madam, the young master said that Miss Bai's illness is very serious and cannot be left without him."
After saying that, he glanced at He Tinglan again and continued, "The young master also said that this must be the young mistress being jealous and deliberately making up a lie to let me go home. The young master said, if my sister was really kidnapped by kidnappers, why didn't you report it to the police immediately? Why did you come to me? Can I fight against the bandits alone?"
Mother Xiao's face flushed with anger. "You didn't tell him, was it me who asked you to call him?"
"I did, but the young master didn't believe it. There was also Miss Bai next to him who kept groaning, interrupting my conversation with the young master. I think the young master must have been bewitched by Miss Bai!"
"Go again! Take the envelope the robber gave you, and Cuihua's beloved jade pendant, and show it to him! I don't believe he could leave his own sister behind to be with the woman who abandoned him!"
The old housekeeper left, and then came back, kneeling on the ground.
"Madam, I didn't see the young master this time. He didn't even let me into the house! Let alone see these keepsakes."
"What did you say? Did Yihua really say that?" Xiao's mother still couldn't believe it. She was anxious and angry and almost fainted.
My daughter has been kidnapped. If we delay any longer, her innocence will be in jeopardy, and I'm afraid her life will be in danger.
At this time, other elders of the Xiao family also came over, and He Tinglan hurried over to explain the situation in advance, so as to avoid them throwing dirty water on her.
Uncle Xiao was also incredulous after hearing this, "My nephew and his wife, have you sent someone to look for him again?"
"The old housekeeper has already run back twice, even getting a bruise on her forehead, but my husband still doesn't believe me. My mother-in-law is so angry she's losing her temper. I have no other options."
He Tinglan continued, "Uncle, my sister is still on the mountain, her life or death uncertain. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for her reputation. I'm afraid it will also affect the reputations of the other daughters of the Xiao family. You see..."
Uncle Xiao called his son, "Go! Make sure you bring Yihua home!"
He didn't dare let his son deliver the ransom, because that was a bandit who killed people without blinking an eye.
Soon, Brother Xiao also came back dejected.
Uncle Xiao said to Uncle Xiao San, "Old Third, you are the elder, you go!"
Soon, Uncle Xiao also came back with a dejected look on his face.
Finally, helpless Uncle Xiao discussed with Mother Xiao, "We can't delay any longer! Didn't your son say to report it to the police? Then let's report it! I just hope the officers and soldiers can go sooner so that Cuihua can be safe and sound."
The next day, Xiao Cuihua was rescued. She was in tattered clothes and had no good flesh on her body.
Xiao's mother was already furious, and when she saw her pampered daughter become like this, and thought that it was all caused by her beloved son, she was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath and died on the spot.
The next day, Xiao Yihua returned home from Bai Yueguang's place. When he saw the white sail hanging up, his face became gloomy. He thought that He Tinglan was putting on a show.
She was beaten to death on the spot.
Afterwards, the Xiao family embezzled her dowry and property.
"If it weren't for the difficulty of divorce for women, I would have left that house long ago. Who would want to stay in that den of man-eating wolves? They're just bullying an orphan like me! I want every member of the Xiao family to die miserably!"
"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.
……
Speaking of which, Xiao Cuihua deserved it.
Originally, He Tinglan had been married for many years but had not conceived, so Xiao's mother asked her to go to the mountain and pray for a child at a temple in the suburbs.
But Xiao Cuihua wanted to go for an outing in the suburbs, so she had to coax her mother into going out.
Unexpectedly, they encountered bandits on the way, and all the servants they brought with them were killed, and they themselves were also abducted.
Sheng Jiang thought that ever since He Tinglan got married, she had been tortured by Xiao's mother every day, ridiculed by her sister-in-law every day, and looked at coldly by her husband every day. She felt that this family was really disgusting.
They all like Bai Yueguang, so let their whole family torture each other.
On this day, when Xiao's mother saw her daughter in tattered clothes, she became so angry that she almost died.
Just as Xie Bian was about to come and take her soul away, Sheng Jiang hurried over, "Hey! Old Xie, leave her here. I still have a use for her."
"Fine"
After a while, Xiao's mother saw her beloved son coming back with Bai Yueyue. She was so angry that she immediately pounced on him and tore Bai Yueyue apart.
From her perspective, her son must have been deceived by Bai Yueyue, otherwise her daughter would not have been humiliated.
Look, even if the son is rotten to the core, he will not be wrong.
Xiao Yihua saw the white sails at home and the coffin parked in the yard and immediately flew into a rage. "He Tinglan! You vicious woman! Didn't I just go to accompany Bai Yueyue to see a doctor? Yesterday, you were so jealous that you deliberately made up rumors that my sister was kidnapped, and now you dare to curse my mother to death?"
At this time, Xiao Cuihua was hiding in the house, her face dull and her eyes lifeless, like a walking corpse. Even when her mother died, she didn't react much.
My aunt was afraid that she would be upset, so she stayed in the room with her and told her what happened yesterday.
"Our family sent five groups of people to call your eldest brother. He ordered the old housekeeper to be beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for three days. Your eldest cousin also went to call him, and finally your third uncle went to invite him in person, but he refused to see him."
"Cuihua, you can't blame us. We have no choice. The kidnappers specifically asked your brother to bring the ransom. It would be useless if someone else went. Otherwise, who in our family would be willing to report it to the police? If it gets out, it will also be bad for the reputation of the other girls in the family.
Besides, Yihua must have been deceived by that bitch from the Bai family. Don't blame him. If you want to blame someone, blame Bai Yueyue!"
"Yes, yes?"
It is not known whether Xiao Cuihua listened to what her aunt and third aunt said, but when she heard Xiao Yihua's scolding in the yard, she got up and went out.
Bai Yueyue still looked at Sheng Jiang with tears in her eyes, "Sister He, even if you hate me and hate Brother Yihua for not loving you, you can't use your aunt's life to curse her."
Sheng Jiang looked at her with a half-smile. Seeing Xiao Cuihua coming out, he said, "No, isn't she there? Why don't you go and ask her yourself?"
Seeing his sister's pale face covered with scars, Xiao Yihua's heart tightened and he hurried over. "Sister, sister? You, you were really kidnapped by bandits?"
Xiao Cuihua looked at him coldly before she spoke.
But Bai Yueyue said, "Sister Cuihua, you, ah, you really shouldn't do this. How could you deliberately put on such makeup just to match your sister-in-law?"
Xiao Cuihua still didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
"Brother, do you think so too?"
Looking at the silent Xiao Yihua, she knew that her brother believed what Bai Yueyue said.
In the past, Bai Yueyue always said that He Tinglan was jealous of her, so she always found various reasons to ask Xiao Yihua to go home. She felt that Bai Yueyue was right, and for this reason, she often made trouble for He Tinglan.
Now, the person who called him brother was obviously his blood relative, but he still didn't believe it.
Sure enough, it won’t hurt if the knife is not on your body.
"Brother, Mom is dead, did you know?"
"Nonsense! How did you become like He Tinglan?" Xiao Yihua still didn't believe it.
"Mom's body is in the inner room. Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
When Xiao Yihua entered the room, he saw his mother lying on the bed, her face pale and wearing funeral clothes.
My head buzzed: So my mother is really dead?
She went to find Sheng Jiang angrily and said, "He Tinglan, how did you take care of my mother? I want to divorce you!"
Sheng Jiang was not the powerless He Tinglan. He kicked him high into the sky and then dropped him heavily. The hole on the ground was even bigger than the one made by the Fire Cloud Evil God who practiced the Toad Skill.
Well, it really looks like a ready-made grave.
He got down to work right away. Sheng Jiang found a shovel and started digging in the soil.
He buried the body and cursed, "You son of a bitch! You're usually indifferent to me, but you're also so indifferent when your own sister is kidnapped? You still have the nerve to ask me how my mother-in-law died? There were so many people there, from my uncle to the housekeeper and servants. Who doesn't know that my mother-in-law died because of your heartless son?"
The Xiao family hurried over to stop them, "Niece-in-law, calm down."
Sheng Jiang still refused to give up. "You loser! Even if you hate me normally, who were the people who came to see you yesterday? Did I send someone to look for them? Anyone with a little common sense would know that something serious must have happened at home. But you, just because of Bai Yueyue's fake cold, actually abandoned your family? Are you still a human being? Calling you trash is an overstatement!"
Sheng Jiang moved quickly, and in a short while, he had buried Xiao Yihua so that only his head was left. The pressure of the earth on his chest made it difficult for him to breathe.
Seeing his sister standing aside indifferently, he tried hard to call for help, "Sister, please help me."
Sheng Jiang handed the shovel to Xiao Cuihua, "Do you hate him? Then bury him with your own hands, to avenge yourself and your mother!"
"No, sister, you can't do this. Have you forgotten how much I loved you before?" Xiao Yihua was frightened.
"Love me? You love me but you won't save me? When you came back and saw me, you were still thinking about the wounds on my body. You're really pretending, aren't you?
Even if that bitch Bai Yueyue misled you, if you were even a little worried about me, you should have come back to see me instead of sending back everyone who went to invite you!
"After something like this happened, have you ever thought about whether I can still live in the future? How can I not hate it?"
Seeing that Xiao Cuihua was about to start construction, Xiao's mother, in spirit form, finally broke free from Sheng Jiang's restraint and ran over.
Sheng Jiang wanted to eat some more melon. What could be more interesting than this family killing each other? So Xiao's mother showed up. Everyone could see it.
"Stop!" Xiao's mother pushed her daughter away without hesitation, "Cuihua, he is your biological brother. No matter what, you can't kill him!"
Mother Xiao turned to look at Bai Yueyue, "It was all this bitch's idea! She was the one who bewitched your brother! You should beat her to death! You are siblings, how could you kill each other?"
Bai Yueyue was terrified. To be more precise, everyone was trembling with fear as they looked at the ghost floating in the air.
"Uncle, aunt, aren't you dead?"
"Will you be happy if I die? When my son marries you, you won't have a mother-in-law to serve you."
"Auntie, that's not true." Bai Yueyue quickly shook her head. Although she thought so in her heart, who didn't know that this old woman was a notorious shrew?
Mother Xiao rushed over and grabbed Bai Yueyue's neck, "You bitch! It's you who seduced my son and made him so obsessed that he doesn't even listen to me, his biological mother! I'll strangle you to death!"
Bai Yueyue opened her mouth wide to breathe, and Xiao Yihua shouted anxiously, asking his mother to let go.
This is fucking true love. Sheng Jiang sighed and decided to help Xiao Yihua and quickly got the soil out.
After getting out of the pit, Xiao Yihua pushed Sheng Jiang away, stumbled towards his mother, and then pried her hands open with all his strength.
How can a person pry open a ghost's hand? Realizing this, Xiao Yihua knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy, "Mom, all the mistakes are my fault. Please let Bai Yueyue go. You will kill her like this. I can't live without her."
