Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 276 Interrogation

Who is Miss He Er? She sneered.

"My little sister is so rude. She said such unpleasant things at such a young age. As her elder sister, I have the right to discipline her.

I haven't yet investigated your fault for bringing her up like this, but you asked me to let her go as soon as you came.

Why, I'm disciplining my sister openly, but you're making it sound like I'm harming her?

Who is that person in front of you? I want to call her Third Aunt. What did she say to Third Aunt?

What does she know at such a young age? You are the one who taught her that. You are so brave. What did you teach her?

Third Aunt is right, look at your outfit, who in the mansion can match you in this outfit?"

Finally, she said with some ill intention, "Where did you get so much money?" and stopped talking.

When Mr. He heard his daughter say this, his face darkened completely, and Aunt Guo's legs went limp.

She really didn't have that much money to buy so many clothes, so of course she didn't dare to accept favors from others, but her family members could.

Everyone in her family knew that she was the concubine of the second master of the He family and had given birth to two children for the He family.

Who wouldn't be eager to curry favor with her family now? Even the officials in her hometown turned a blind eye to her brothers from her mother's family.

Her family members were not stupid, they knew she was poor, so they spent all the money they got on themselves.

He kept a portion for himself and gave the rest to her. She was a little scared at first, fearing that the second master would drive her away if he knew about it.

But after she followed Mr. He to Hanjiang Mansion, she let go because no one was controlling her and she was the mistress of the house.

All the wives of officials and rich families fawned on her. Later, she gave birth to the fourth daughter, and she became even more unscrupulous.

She thought that if the truth was revealed, she would pretend to be ignorant of it and just say that she thought her family would make money. And considering that she gave birth to three children, she would not be punished no matter what.

Thinking of this, she thought of the old lady who had allowed her to enter the mansion. She knew that the old lady had a grudge against the second lady.

So as long as she could ask for the old lady's forgiveness, she would forgive her for the sake of the child.

She suddenly stood up, knelt forward, and knelt in front of the old lady, begging and crying.

"Old lady, please have pity on me. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. My money was given to me by my family, not by me taking it from others.

Can you please forgive me this time, considering that I have three children?

I will be careful with my words and actions in the future. I didn’t teach the fourth girl well. From now on, I will let her stay with my wife along with her brothers and sisters.”

Although the fourth young lady was young, she knew everything from what she had seen and heard. Upon hearing this, she rushed over and hugged Aunt Guo crying.

"I don't want to follow another woman. I want to follow my mother. I want to follow my mother."

The hall was in chaos because of this mother and daughter, but the instigator of everything sat and watched the show with great interest.

As she watched Aunt Guo perform, she wished she had a plate of melon seeds in front of her so she could eat them.

"That's enough!" He Erye finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in a deep voice,

Aunt Guo and the fourth young lady were so frightened that they dared not speak again. Mr. He said to Madam He,

"Madam, please arrange for a few people to search Aunt Guo's dowry and see how much valuables she has."

Upon hearing this, Madam He Er asked the nanny beside her to do it. Miss He Er was so happy that she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

The faces of the Second Young Master He and the Third Young Miss He were pale. The Second Young Master He knew that no matter what his mother did, it would not implicate him.

But his biological mother made a mistake, and he, as her son, had no face in the mansion. Moreover, he grew up with Madam He Er, and he always felt that he had let Madam He Er down.

Miss He San was afraid that if her biological mother made a mistake, her marriage would be affected.

Every family would consider the girl's family background before marrying her. She was originally a concubine's daughter. If her aunt committed a crime again, she would never be able to marry into a good family.

In her heart, she secretly blamed her aunt, why did she do such a thing? Her mother was so kind, she raised her brother, a bastard child, like her own son.

Although she was a concubine's daughter, she had everything she needed. She was not like some concubine's daughters' mothers she knew who did not treat concubines as human beings.

She knew her mother was looking for a candidate for her marriage, and she was not afraid that the person her mother chose would not be good.

Because she knew that although her mother was cold to her, she would not be the kind of person who would push others into the fire pit. Thinking of this, she blamed her aunt even more.

When Auntie Guo heard that the master was going to search her dowry, she was so frightened that she quickly turned around and hugged Master He's legs.

"Master, Master, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."

He Erye kicked her away, sat back in the armchair, and calmed down his anger.

"How much money have you received from your mother's family? Do you know it yourself? Tell me honestly.

Also, where did your mother's family get their money from? What did they do?

Tell the truth, or I will send you to jail myself."

Madam He watched this farce, then looked at Song Sanniang who was watching the show as if nothing had happened. The rosary in her hand could not suppress her irritation.

Should she blame her daughter-in-law? She knew she couldn't blame her. If it weren't for her, when something happened to Guo's family, the He family would be caught off guard. She was clearly doing a good thing.

But her return changed the atmosphere at home. Thinking about how she almost fainted when she was mad at her for the first time, she stopped thinking about this daughter-in-law.

She should actually blame herself. If she hadn't insisted on her second son marrying Guo, their relationship wouldn't have fallen out.

In fact, my second daughter-in-law had already given birth to a daughter, so it was only a matter of time before she gave birth to a son. Why couldn't I wait? I was really blinded by hatred at the time.

Fortunately, the eldest brother overcame his opposition and married Jin. Facts proved that the eldest brother and that person were right, and he was wrong.

What about the third son? Is he happy to marry this woman? Is he right? She looked at her third son again.

She was a little dazed. Is this her third child?

He seemed like a different person. He was wearing a lavender satin gown with small floral patterns that he had never worn before. His long hair, which was always neatly tied into a bun, was hanging down.

He had a narrow black headband on his forehead, which made his face look particularly handsome and a bit unruly.

The previously restrained sharpness on his face was fully revealed. His father's teaching of not showing emotions on one's face seemed to have lost its effect. He now looked like a lively and high-spirited young man.

He looked at his wife beside him with a doting smile, and the two of them whispered to each other intimately, while occasionally paying attention to the farce in the hall.

She felt sour, bitter, and happy in her heart, a mixture of emotions. Since he was like this, he must be very happy. She was wrong, wrong from the beginning to the end.
