Return of the Swallow

"Murder, aren't you?"

With a low voice, Pang Xiao jammed Yao's unspoken words in his throat.

"You, what do you mean?"

"A murderer, either for wealth, profit, hatred, or affection, there will always be a reason. What is your reason? You gave your five-month-old daughter-in-law a red flower to murder you. The born grandson even wants to bring your daughter-in-law with you. What are you doing?"

Yao's eyes widened, his mouth was open.

Pan Xiao's voice was so low that only Yao Shi and the two maids around her could hear it.

But this sound was like a drumbeat in Yao's ears.

Pang Xiao looked at Yao's dumbfounded appearance, and gradually felt bitter, "What are you looking for, eh? If my son and your grandson are gone, what good can you do?"

"You, you talk nonsense!" Yao came back to his senses, straightened his waist and retorted loudly: "Who told you? Ah? Am I that crazy person? How could I harm me? My grandson!"

His face turned from rosy to pale, Yao's tears fell sternly, "What a beast who has a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother. Dafu, I gave birth to you after having a baby in October. It was so easy to give birth to you. Pulling big, you now have a daughter-in-law, how did you wrong your mother?

"Your daughter-in-law is like a pimple, don't you have to be wronged by others when they visit? I kindly gave her chicken soup to make up for her body, but she was beaten up by her! Said I would give her red flowers? I pooh! Is it worthy to eat safflower! You just believe what she says, don't you have a brain? Dafu, I will ask you, do you think I am your mother!"

At the end of the story, Yao was almost screaming, and only felt that the son he raised had become someone else's. The hope of this life was gone, and grief came from it, covering his mouth and choking.

Yao Chenggu frowned tightly, and Yao's performance was too much.

Pang Xiao listened to Yao's words, his sad expression slowly calmed down, and he sighed softly, "Mother, if you don't have a guilty conscience and don't mess up your mood, you won't make such a big loophole." I gave you a face, but you want to make a noise. If you don't care if others hear you talking about you, I have no objection."

He lowered his voice, just because he didn't want to make matters worse, who knew that Yao's guilty conscience would cause a quarrel.

Yao's neck seemed to be pinched, his crying stopped, his face turned from pale to purple eggplant skin.

Yao Chenggu was annoyed, and sighed: "Okay, okay, the ugliness of the family is not exposed, this is the end of the matter. Dafu, you follow me in the house." Turning around and walking into the house first.

Yao's teeth gritted his teeth and looked at Pang Xiao. He couldn't beat him or scold him. Nothing seemed right. He couldn't think of any other way, and followed Yao Chenggu into the house.

Pang Xiao was not as obedient as before.

"If Grandpa is tired, go into the house and rest. I will deal with the fine work mixed into the mansion before taking a rest."

Turning around, looking sharply at the few people who were kneeling on the ground, the hairs of the women and daughters-in-law on the stove were horrified, and their hairs stood up.

"Let's talk about it. Who made today's chicken soup."

Yao Chenggu stood inside the door, listening to Pang Xiao outside asking about his servants, he couldn't help stomping his feet with anger.

Pang Xiao clearly refused to let go of the chaos today, and he wanted to face him.He is Pang Xiao's grandfather anyway. When Pang Xiao did this, wouldn't he not look at him?

What's more, today's things are not simple, they spread among the servants, and it will be more difficult for them to be humans in the future.

Yao Chenggu felt a mess in his heart, as if being splashed down by boiling water, his face was hot.

By now, Yao Chenggu knew that it would be difficult to end this matter here in Pang Xiao.

Standing beside Yao Chenggu, Yao Shi looked at the scene in the courtyard outside the window, feeling embarrassed and worried.

Just now I scolded a lot, and my heart was indeed relieved.But the next thing facing Yao's family was whether the son Pang Xiao wanted this question.

If, if Pang Xiao's attitude is so tough now, isn't it impossible for her mother to pay Qin Yining's compensation?If not, what hope is left in her life?

After anger and embarrassment, Yao really felt the crisis, covering his mouth and crying almost broken.

The yard was quiet, and everyone bowed their heads on their knees. No one dared to say a word, they could only deserve the cicadas.

Pang Xiao walked to the middle group and asked again: "Who made the chicken soup? Who added the safflower? Why did you do this? Who instigated it? Now stand up and talk to the king. Clearly, this king may be able to spare your life. If you are persistent, and wait for the king's people to find out who did it in person, then this king cannot guarantee your safety."

Everyone was terrified by what Pang Xiao said.Lifting his eyes and peeking at the tiger and the two Jinghu guards in front of the courtyard, everyone trembled in panic.

This is how to do?

Can you tell the truth?

If I said that, I'm afraid Songhetang will have no place for them in the future.

But if you don't say it, the prince can kill them in the blink of an eye.

When measured, life is still important.

The women on the stove looked at each other, and they were relatively speechless for a while, and everyone's eyes were shaken.

Pang Xiao said again, "Should you tell me?" His voice was full of irritability, and his patience was obviously exhausted.

Yao Chenggu in the curtain of the door finally couldn't bear it, and shouted out: "Dafu, come here."

If Pang Xiao continues to interrogate and pull him out and lose his face, it would be better for him to explain his painstakingly to Pang Xiao.It will also prevent the relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren from becoming stiff if they are unclear.

Hearing Yao Chenggu's greeting, Pang Xiao's thin lips gradually pursed, and his fists gradually clenched.

Based on what I saw and heard after I came to Songhetang today, and then analyze the bluffing under Yao's guilty conscience and Yao Chenggu's performance, what else can Pang Xiao do not understand?

It turns out that it is his mother and grandfather who are going to kill Sister Yi?

He wants to guard against others outside, and does he have to divide his life at home?If you don't watch out, will you lose his wife and children?

The grievances and anger in Pang Xiao's heart were entangled, and he solemnly told Huzi: "Interrogate them one by one clearly, and wait for the king's death."

"Yes!" Huzi and Jinghuwei immediately responded, and eagerly called the maids to the gate of the courtyard for interrogation.

Pang Xiao entered the main house.

Yao Chenggu retracted his gaze from the window, his beard trembling and said, "You still don't tell your people to stop!"

"In order to be careful, interrogation is indispensable. I know that grandpa is a benevolent person. I can't see the people who are serving me wronged, but for the safety of our family, we can't do anything less."

Pang Xiao smiled at Yao Chenggu and said gently: "What does Grandpa want to say to me?"

Yao Chenggu's face was already flushed at this time, watching Pang Xiao hesitate for a long time, and then said: "Don't ask them to try. The ugliness of the family is not exposed. To tell you the truth, I asked your mother to do things today."

The suspicion in Pang Xiao's mind was confirmed by Yao Chenggu, but he no longer felt sad or shocked in his heart.

"I don't know, why did Grandpa do this?"

Seeing Pang Xiao, Yao Chenggu did not feel furious, did not feel relieved, but became more nervous.

"Dafu, your mother and I are for your own good. Your wife is a good woman. No one can deny this, but after all, she was abducted by the Tatars. Who knows what she has experienced outside? Are you sure that the one in her belly must be yours?

"I don't want to see such a woman by your side defile you. I don't want such a person to defile your blood."

Pang Xiao laughed angrily.The laughter grew louder, showing a bit of arrogance and sarcasm.

Yao Chenggu and Pang Shi saw this, their worries in their hearts did not abate, but they became more anxious.

After a while, Pang Xiao said: "Grandpa. You and my mother are both my elders, so I won't comment on the character. But I can tell you. I can be sure whether my own daughter-in-law is chaste. Not to mention she is. I will be kidnapped only when I am tired. Even if she is really good, I will not despise her. On the contrary, those who despise her because of this make me look down on!

"As for the child, I have already clarified it. How long has it been since I reunited with her? Our child is a few months old. With such a simple arithmetic, don't both grandpa and mother know if her child is mine?

"Well, you can not believe me. You can also not believe Sister Yi. I can't persuade you to change your mind. But can this be the reason why you gave my wife a red flower?

"Grandpa, mother, if you didn't do this thing today, I would definitely kill anyone who wanted to harm Sister Yi and my child! But it was you!"

Pang Xiao turned around and stopped looking at Yao Chenggu and the Yao family.

"Since you look down on my wife, then you look down on me. You want to kill my child. I can't seek revenge from you, and I can't do anything to you, but in the future, I will live my life by myself, and please don't interfere. . It’s up to you to live your life well."

Pang Xiao didn't give Yao Chenggu and Yao a chance to preach, turned around and left the main house.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Pang Xiao pointed to the women on the stove and the maidservants in Songhetang.

"These are all suspects of careful preparation. However, the law does not blame the public, and this king is not a person who kills or destroys humanity. Those of you who serve the old lady and the lady also have toiled, so you each rewarded two taels of silver and settled your monthly money. , Then leave the palace."

"Lord!"

The people exclaimed, looking at Pang Xiao in disbelief.Unexpectedly, Pang Xiao had driven away all the servants of Songhetang!

The Yao clan became anxious when he heard it, and hurriedly raised the curtains and came out: "Dafu! You can't do this, others don't tell me how long the two girls Xunhe and Mihe have been following me, and Zhao Kun's family, they..."

"They don't know how to discourage the old lady from doing foolish things. This king did not punish them, but just gave them money to dismiss them, which is the ultimate goal.

Pang Xiao's eyes were full of distance.

Upon hearing what Pang Xiao called her, Yao took two steps back and leaned on the pillar: "What do you call me?"
