Chapter XIV: Convictions

"Seven or eight days have passed, even if it's stupid, it's time to embroider one or two, right?" Shen Fengxu raised the corners of his eyes slightly, "Don't mention it, you can bring the embroidered ones first." ”

Cai Lian froze in place, a little at a loss for a moment.

She was full of calculations about Shen Fengxu, where could she have the leisure to embroider her purse? and today's thing was done, she didn't have to serve Shen Fengxu's side, how could she take Shen Fengxu's instructions to heart.

Dansha looked at her coldly: "This is what you just said about being loyal and having no other hearts?

"No, it's just that the deadline for the girl has not yet arrived, and if it does, the maid will be done. Cai Lian hurriedly defended, "The servant's loyalty to the girl can be seen by the sun and the moon!"

"Loyalty?" Shen Fengxu said indifferently, "It's just for you to embroider a few purses, just push and drag like this, how can you talk about loyalty?

Didn't do what his master commanded, but watched his master's movements?

Cailian is timid.

The old lady has long had doubts in her heart, she has been in the backyard for many years, and she knows that people's hearts are unpredictable. Obviously, Cailian in front of him is by no means a well-behaved and obedient person, and he can't listen to one-sided words.

I only heard Shen Fengxu exhale lightly, as if he was a little embarrassed, and said: "Actually, the purse doesn't matter, you just have to explain, did I really buy Xihe willow?

It is a capital offense.

But there is no chance of a change of tune.

Cai Lian buried her head deeply: "The servant has seen with her own eyes, and there is no lie! The servant knows that people are soft-spoken, but not only the maidservant, but also the doctor in the Huichun Hall in the Nanzhi Alley can testify. ”

"In this case, I will go and ask for a doctor, as the master mother of Dongning Bo Mansion, I will never favor any one person, and I will never indulge people with improper intentions!" said the eldest lady, squinting at Shen Fengxu.

In such a situation, how else can Shen Fengxu refute?

Shen Fengxu smiled lightly, without fear: "This is the best." ”

Dansha was sweating profusely and secretly tugged at Shen Fengxu's sleeve. When she went to grab the medicine, she did have the flavor of Xihe willow, if she really invited the doctor, wouldn't she be guilty of Shen Fengxu's crime?

But Shen Fengxu didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

She just asked with a little curiosity: "Cai Lian saw it with her own eyes?"

"Yes......" Cailian was already a little flustered.

Between Shen Fengxu's words, although it was as light as water, for some reason, it made her feel very uneasy, as if those clear and transparent eyes could see through her heart.

She seemed to be a little shaken.

Shen Fengxu just smiled: "Cinnabar, you show the medicinal herbs to Cailian, and let her see if they are the medicinal herbs she saw with her own eyes." ”

In response, Chensha took out a bag of medicinal herbs and placed it in front of Cailian.

"Do you see clearly, is this the West River Willow you saw?"

Cai Lian was born in the backyard since she was a child, and the grains were not divided, not to mention the medicinal materials, and she was suddenly speechless.

Dansha sneered: "Didn't you see it with your own eyes? Why? This son can't recognize it again?!"

Cai Lian immediately grabbed the ground with her head, and reluctantly defended: "Son...... The maid didn't recognize the medicinal herbs, but she heard Sister Dansha mention Xihe Liu. ”

"Really?" Shen Fengxu hooked the corners of his lips, turned his head to look at Caizhi on the side, and said, "Caizhi, then you say, is this Xihe Liu?"

Caizhi didn't expect Shen Fengxu to suddenly ask her, and she choked for a while, and only said after a while: "The maid also listened to Cailian." ”

"Fang just said that he had seen it with his own eyes, why did it become hearsay now? You two slandered our girl in front of the old lady, and you deserve to be beaten to death with sticks!" Dansha gritted his teeth and said coldly.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse.

"Although the maid doesn't know the medicinal herbs, this matter is true!" Caizhi argued.

Shen Fengxu stood up, walked in front of the eldest lady, and bent his knees slightly, "Mother, since you just said that you can't indulge people with improper intentions, you should deal with these two slanderous maids at this time!"

The eldest lady's expression was flat: "Let's wait for the doctor to come first." ”

"When the mother says this, she doesn't believe her daughter?" Shen Fengxu lowered his head slightly, as if he was wronged, and said, "Would the mother rather believe the slander of the two maidservants than believe her daughter?"

The second lady on the side was eager to mix a pool of clear water, the more powerful the big house was, the more comfortable she was to see it, so she fanned the flames and said: "The sixth girl is not around for her biological mother, and it is inevitable that the eldest lady will feel sorry for the fourth girl." But don't worry, if it's really innocent, when the doctor comes, you will naturally find out as soon as you ask. ”

The eldest lady suddenly glanced coldly at the second lady.

Shen Yujia said softly: "I believe that the sixth sister will not do such a thing, these two maids do not match the preface, I think they deliberately slander the sixth sister." ”

Hearing this, Shen Fengxu couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Shen Yujia, a little surprised for a while.

Although the fifth girl, Shen Yujia, is the daughter of the second room, she is not as good as Shen Yuning in terms of appearance and talent, and she is a dispensable existence in the house, and she has always been not good at words, she is not loved by her elders, and she has never participated in the battles of others.

In his previous life, even when Shen Fengxu died, Shen Yujia was still so unreserved and wise.

Can......

Just now, Shen Yujia actually spoke for her?

"Mother, I'm so uncomfortable...... Shen Yuxiang fell into the arms of the eldest lady, weak and pitiful.

The eldest lady took Shen Yuxiang in her arms, and her tone was extremely cold: "This matter involves the reputation of Fengxu, so naturally it must be investigated clearly and clearly, otherwise, it is inevitable that some people will gossip in the future and tarnish Fengxu's reputation." ”

At this point, it is useless to say more.

Shen Fengxu only sat back and waited quietly.

Time passed, and a small pillar of incense had turned into a cloud of smoke and drifted away.

In a short time, someone had already led the doctor into the house.

"I've seen ladies and girls. After the doctor entered the door, he bowed, and when he came, he had heard about it, and his eyes fell on Shen Fengxu.

The eldest lady asked him, "The doctor should still remember the six girls in the house, right?"

Hearing this, the doctor frowned.

Shen Fengxu smiled gently: "Don't be nervous, doctor, just tell the truth." ”

"Yes. The doctor nodded and said, "The sixth girl did order someone to come back to the Spring Hall to grab medicine, and there is indeed Xihe Willow." ”

As soon as the word came out, it seemed that everything was revealed.

Shen Yuxiang seemed to be angry and painful, and asked, "Sixth sister, although you and I had a misunderstanding before, why did you harm me like this?"

The eldest lady also turned her head to look at Shen Fengxu, her expression was very complicated, and said: "Fengxu, I have always regarded you as my own daughter, where Yulou Yuxiang has, your sisters have never been less, but you poisoned your sisters, such a big crime, I must not favor you." ”
