Wang Xifeng had the talent of a housekeeper, there was no doubt that the RongGuo Mansion was also under her management, and it could still maintain normal operation, much stronger than the dirty Ning Mansion.
But human nature is complex, especially Cao Xueqin's characters, there are few flawless and unforgivable people, and many people are neither all evil nor perfect. Wang Xifeng is a good example.
On the one hand, she is shrewd and talented, handling dozens of affairs in the government every day, laboring hard, and even falling ill, which is not easy; on the other hand, she is fierce, greedy for money and jealousy, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, and even bear the life lawsuit.
When it comes to human life lawsuits, Wang Xifeng did not believe in yinji retribution, and she really did not do less evil. Either directly, or indirectly, she has also killed several lives, which is also a stain that she cannot erase in her life.
For example, Jia Rui's death is directly related to Wang Xifeng.
Some people may say that Jared deserves it, who let him toad want to eat swan meat, disregard human morality, but to his sister-in-law's crooked thoughts, and deserve to die.
Although Jia Rui was at fault first, and even died a pity, in this matter, Wang Xifeng's approach was indeed hateful and poisonous. Looking back, Cao Gong said that she was "Wang Xifeng poison set up the Xiangsi Bureau", and a "poison" character wrote Wang Xifeng's means.
She tricked Jared twice, neither directly refusing, nor understanding the acceptance, this means of refusing to return the favor, so that Jared, who was trapped in a love barrier, could not stop, and eventually caused him to fall ill in bed, until he died.
Jia Rui was not without a chance to survive, and more than once, but one of these opportunities was wasted by himself, and the other was destroyed by Wang Xifeng's death.
Wang Xifeng is not the culprit of Jia Rui's death, the culprit is Jia Rui himself, but his death, Feng Jie can not be separated. Similarly, the death of Bao Erjia's family is also directly related to Sister Feng.
On Wang Xifeng's birthday, her husband Jia Lian stole fishy, and as a result, she was discovered by Sister Feng and arrested, which at first became a big deal, and later The couple reconciled under the initiative of Jia Mu and others, but this led to Bao's second daughter-in-law hanging herself.
It is said that her death has little to do with Sister Feng, and Wang Xifeng did not force her to die, and who is to blame for doing ugly things? But is there another possibility, Bao Erjia was afraid of Feng Jie's means afterwards, lest she be humiliated by her calculations, plus after this incident, she had no face to see people, so she chose to hang herself?
For her death, Wang Xifeng's attitude was that if she died, there was nothing to make a fuss about. In fact, even if she didn't die, with Sister Feng's jealous personality, she would probably not spare her. Therefore, the death of Bao Erjia cannot be said to have nothing to do with Wang Xifeng.
Didn't Ping'er also say that? First of all, I accompanied the four servants, and the dead went to the dead, leaving me alone. Wang Xifeng's four dowry maids, the result is only Ping'er. Will the dead one also be Feng Jie's means?
Think about those maidens, look at Jia Lian more, you can be beaten a rotten sheep's head, if Wang Xifeng's dowry is carrying her and Jia Lian's eyebrows, what will be Fengjie's reaction after learning about it?
If it is said that the death of Jia Rui and the death of Bao Erjia, Wang Xifeng is not a murderer, at most it is only related, then the deaths of Zhang Jinge and You Erjie have a direct relationship with Feng Jie, and even she is the culprit behind the scenes.
Zhang Jinge originally had no connection with Wang Xifeng, and she would never have thought that her marriage and life were actually in the hands of this person.
Wang Xifeng, for the sake of three thousand taels of silver, and also to show his own means, turned out to be in the name of Jia Lian, a letter to settle what the pure old nun was asking for. The direct result of this incident was that Zhang Rich Lord retired from marriage and was the son of the guard, which led to Zhang Jinge hanging himself.
Whoever thought, the son of the garrison was also an amorous, and when he heard that his fiancée was dead, he also committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. Wang Xifeng took two lives for three thousand taels of silver. It's not cruel.
Even Li Yanzhai couldn't help but accuse Wang Xifeng: "Sister Feng has many evil deeds, and it is no bigger than this: she has been married to death." He also mentioned her alongside Jia Yucun, saying that they were "a pair of adulterous males in a chaotic world." ”
These two lives were recorded on Wang Xifeng's head, and they did not wrongfully accuse her. And the lives of You Erjie's mother and son must also be recorded in Wang Xifeng's account. In order to get rid of Sister You, she also went to great lengths.
She first found a medicine to kill the fetus in You Erjie's womb, and then poisoned her hands behind the good words in front of her face, forcing You Erjie to the dead corner of her life, and finally swallowed gold and committed suicide.
Wang Xifeng did not even let go of the fetus that had not seen the light of day, which showed the poison of her heart, although the original text did not directly say that this matter was her doing, but did it still use explicit explanations? Who else but her? She did not give birth to a son herself, lest the second sister's mother threaten her status and interests with her son, so she did not stop doing anything, and after directly breaking Jia Lian, she thought about the chill in her back.
In the You Erjie incident, there was also a key figure - Zhang Hua, when he had use value, Wang Xifeng gave him benefits and let him sue, and after manipulating You Erjie, Feng Jie also specially explained to Wang Er that Zhang Hua must be killed in order to cut the grass and remove the roots.
If it wasn't for Wang'er's kind heart, Zhang Hua wouldn't have known how to die? It is The Qiutong that Jia pardoned to Jia Lian, after the death of Sister You, according to Sister Feng's personality, it is inevitable to cross the river and demolish the bridge and settle the account after autumn, waiting for Qiutong, it is estimated that it will inevitably die.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Xifeng's hands were stained with blood while he was in charge. She has both talent and means, and is poisonous enough, no wonder Li Yanzhai said that she was a traitor.
