Yuan Chun took the paper bag from his mother-in-law's hand, Yuan Xiang frowned when he saw it and opened his mouth to speak, but Yuan Chun had already opened the paper bag, pinched a handful with his fingers and looked at it carefully, and then asked the woman with a cold face: "What is this?"

The woman was trembling all over, but her eyes were still rolling, and she looked sincerely frightened: "Hui, back to the young master, this is, yes...... The villain doesn't know. ”

"You don't know?" Yuan Chun's voice was a little cold, and he handed the paper bag to his entourage, "Feed her and see if she can remember!"

As soon as Yuan Chun's words fell, the faces of the people present changed.

The blood on the woman's face faded in an instant, and she knelt on the ground, kowtowing and crying: "The young master spares his life, the young master spares his life!

Yuan Chun was unmoved, He Ling was still young after all, her breathing was a little short at this time, her facial expression was also very stiff, and she didn't know how to end it for a while.

Yuan Chun's entourage got the order, stepped forward and pinched the woman's mouth with his hand and was about to feed the bag of powder into it, the woman was so frightened that the ghost cried wolf and kept shaking her head: "No, no, no, this is **! I don't eat! I don't eat! The young master spares his life!"

Yuan Chun raised his hand and stopped the attendant, who let go of the woman, and the woman collapsed to the ground.

Yuan Chun glanced at her, asked people to bring up the cage of dead birds, pointed to the woman and asked, "You sold this?"

The woman looked up trembling and glanced up, "Yes, yes." ”

"You fed it?"

The woman wept and said, "Yes, it is my lard that has blinded my heart." ”

Seeing that she confessed, Yuan Chun breathed a sigh of relief, but the gaze that looked at He Ling was a little complicated and difficult to distinguish, He Ling looked at Yuan Chun with a look of wanting to say something, tears swirling in her eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Yuan Xiang suddenly spoke: "Second brother, since this woman has admitted that she did the matter, why don't you report this matter to the He family and let the He family handle it?"

No matter how you look at this matter, it is a housework of the He family, Yuan Xiang doesn't want to see his brother get involved, and Yuan Chun is a bit arrogant to do this step today.

He Ling breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Chun was also a little hesitant, and secretly said that he was really lenient today, and was about to take advantage of his sister's words, but he didn't want to look up, but he met He Linwan's slightly mocking gaze.

Yuan Chun didn't know why he was dizzy for a while, turned his head and gritted his teeth and asked the woman: "Who instructed you? What did you do to sell a cage of birds fed with medicine to Miss He for no reason?"

Yuan Xiang couldn't stop it, sighed secretly on the side, and simply turned his head and ignored it.

The woman said in a panic: "Nobody, no one instructed, it was the villain himself who wanted to drugged it." The rest of his eyes were quietly glancing at a familiar figure in the field.

Yuan Chunzheng was irritated by He Linwan's contemptuous eyes, so naturally he didn't believe this woman's words, and instructed his entourage: "Continue to feed the medicine." ”

The attendant pinched the woman's chin and was about to feed her the packet of medicine, the woman was so frightened that she screamed, and while trying her best to dodge, she pointed to a figure who was about to hide behind someone else: "It's her, it's she who gave me the money to do this, I don't know anything else, spare my life, young master!"

The face of the person who was pointed out turned pale, and his whole body almost went limp, and finally he forced himself to say: "You don't spew blood here! I don't know you at all!"

The eyes of everyone in the pavilion were fixed on her.

He Linwan sneered: "Just now, I said categorically that the person who saw me poisoning this cage bird seems to be you, right? It turned out that it was a thief shouting to catch a thief!" He Linwan's tone was very cold, and when he said the last sentence, his eyes stopped on He Ling intentionally or unintentionally.

Because the maid who was pointed out as being pointed out was He Ling's personal maid.

He Ling gritted her teeth secretly, but her face was incredulous and aggrieved: "This, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Chunxiao pursed her lips, deliberately bent over and said to He Linwan: "Big girl, this woman is hiding ** and acting secretly, I don't know if there is any conspiracy, it is better to send it to the government in the opinion of a slave, lest others say that you have misunderstood a good person, and in the end, it is clear that you are the one who has been wronged, but you are beaten upside down." ”

He Linwan was silent when he heard this, and seemed to agree with Chunxiao's mention.

He Ling's face turned pale, this woman was just someone she temporarily bought, not hers, if she was sent to the government to be tortured to extract a confession, she would definitely be bitten out, and her reputation would be completely ruined.

Thinking like this, He Ling looked at Yuan Chun's eyes full of tears, Chu Chu was pitiful: "Brother Yuan Chun, this matter may be a misunderstanding, my great-grandmother is very devoted to the Buddha, if she is involved in the government today, she will definitely be displeased, her old man has been unwell recently, and we still need to be cautious when we are juniors." ”

He Linwan looked at He Ling's coquettish attitude, and laughed in her heart, but she did not say anything to expose it.

Yuan Chun was a little hesitant, after all, this was the matter of the He family, and He Ling mentioned the He family's elders again.

Since he can remember, He Ling's mind has been on Yuan Chun, so he knows him very well, so he made persistent efforts to say: "This maid has followed me for many years, and she has always followed the rules, so maybe this woman is climbing and biting indiscriminately." But if it's really my untamed girl, when I go back, I will definitely punish my mother severely and never tolerate it. ”

Saying that, He Ling turned to He Linwan again and pleaded: "Big sister, sister will accompany you first, and please put your anger away for the time being." It's just that today's matter is our family matter, so it's better to wait until we go back and solve it, so as not to make any jokes that will cause the elders to be angry. ”

He Linwan glanced at He Ling and looked surprised: "Third sister, this woman is not from our He family, what I want to investigate is that she sold me a cage of drugged birds, what does this have to do with housework?"

Saying that, she glanced meaningfully at He Ling's maid who was still kneeling on the ground, "It's surprising that your maid will be involved, but just as you believe in me, I naturally believe in you, so it's better to find out more about this matter, so that others don't misunderstand you because of this matter." ”

He Ling's face was red and white.

When the woman heard this, she thought that she was really going to be sent to the official, and her heart became afraid, and she knelt there and shouted to the heavens and the earth, and said, "Noble people, it really doesn't matter to me, it really happened to this girl." ”

He Linwan glanced at the woman: "You keep saying that she instructed you to give you medicine, but she said that she doesn't know you, she is the maid of my He family, but you are an unknown person, and her words are more credible compared to the two of you." ”

The woman was also a clever man, and when she heard this, she immediately said, "This girl came to find me, how could she not know me?" I remember that this girl's handkerchief was peach-colored and embroidered with a branch of broken white plum, and if the nobleman did not believe it, let her take out the handkerchief and look at it. ”

Hearing this, the maid couldn't help but subconsciously cover her sleeves, Yuan Chun hesitated for a moment or glanced at the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law didn't make too much effort to find a handkerchief from the girl's sleeve, which was exactly as the woman said peach-colored embroidered white plum blossoms.

There are many people who recognize this maid's veil, she can't refute it, so she can only grit her teeth and quibble: "She must have seen the slave maid take this handkerchief in the dark, so she climbed the slave maid." ”

The woman was still half respectful and flattering to her at this time, and sneered when she heard this: "This purse you gave me was also taken out of your sleeve pocket, and there is the smell of jasmine incense on it, if you don't believe it, you can smell the fragrance on this purse is not the same as the fragrance on her handkerchief, this kind of high-grade incense is not available to our poor people!"

When the maid heard this, she completely collapsed on the ground, unable to say a word.

He Linwan raised his eyes and looked at the people outside the pavilion who were peeping in twos and threes, and looked like some maids and wives from big families.

He Ling looked at the maid, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she was about to get up angrily, He Lin expected that she wanted Mingzhe to protect herself, and put all the fault on the maid, how could she let her get her wish?

So He Linwan stood up before He Ling got up, and said coldly: "Enough!" Her eyes looked around the faces of everyone present, and finally fell on He Ling, with irrepressible anger and disappointment on her face, but more forbearance.

"Today I came to the temple to burn incense, and I will talk about other things later. ”
