Mrs. Liu responded one after another, and Gu's mother was also emotional when she heard this, patted Qiu Ju's hand, and said seriously: "Girl, you are still deaf and clear-sighted, and you have a good master." ”

Qiu Ju also smiled warmly at Gu's mother.

Gu's mother didn't let her send more, but only asked the two of them to hurry back: "I'm afraid that the words of the three girls inside haven't finished yet, waiting for the two of you, our two wives will go back by themselves." ”

Qiu Ju and Dongmei sent out of the courtyard and didn't send more, so they should go back.

Mrs. Liu looked at the backs of the two, sighed to herself, and pulled Gu's mother and said: "The night before yesterday, my daughter came to tell me that the third girl fell and fell stupidly, and she was looking for her son and daughter with her mouth full. ”

Gu's mother also sighed.

Qiu Ju and Dong Mei came back, and the people in the house really hadn't moved, Lin Zhixuan seemed to have something to say, Qiu Ju and Dong Mei hurriedly returned to their positions and stood still.

Lin Zhixuan glanced at them before continuing: "I fell in the back garden a few days ago and was injured, and the people standing here are all serving with me, can any of you tell me what happened that day?"

Everyone quietly exchanged glances, not daring to answer, and Lin Zhixuan asked, Chun Tao as a big girl is necessary to answer, and if she can't escape, she can only step forward and say: "That day, the girl was going to play with the four girls early in the morning, and when she passed by the rockery in the back garden, she found a small flower, and the girl was very surprised, so she wanted to find the four girls to see ......."

Lin Zhixuan frowned, and said, "You have already said this, I only ask you, where were you all when I fell, but what did you see?"

Chun Tao was frightened by Lin Zhixuan's cold voice, and glanced up at Lin Zhixuan in a hurry, those sharp eyes were obviously not what a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl should have, Chun Tao was now very sure that Lin Zhixuan was different from the past, so she could only answer truthfully: "Chun Tao and Xia Lan were following the girls at that time, when the girl was walking in front, half of her body had entered the rockery path, holding the second girl in her hand, the fourth girl walked at the end, I was waiting on one side, and then I saw the second girl fall down and dragged the girl down." I really didn't see anything else. ”

Lin Zhixuan looked at Xia Lan again: "What about you?"

Xia Lan hurriedly said, "Xia Lan really didn't see anything. ”

Lin Zhixuan looked at the mother-in-law behind them again: "What about you?"

The mothers-in-law all said: "At that time, it was far away, and the red apricots and jade rui followed by the four girls in front blocked the girls' figures, and we couldn't see anything." ”

Lin Zhixuan sighed in her heart, but her eyes were still looking at everyone fiercely: "Do you know who you are serving? The young lady of the Lin Mansion! When you go out in the ice and snow, the group of maids and women who follow behind you are all blind, what are they looking at, I don't know how to look at the master's feet, and I don't know how I fell when I fell!" The ice and snow on the rockery are also places that can be messed around in winter, and they don't even know how to persuade them, let them go, the maids are young and ignorant, and the mothers are still hiding far away, and they don't know how to take care of them, if you leave the brothers and sisters in the house to you to take care of, the garden is not full of people!"

A room full of people were frightened by Lin Zhixuan's questioning and hurriedly knelt down, Lin Zhixuan continued: "Although the law does not blame the public, but this matter cannot go unpunished, my mother is worried that I am injured, so I don't have the time to pursue you, but since my mother said that I will punish this matter, we don't have to worry about the things in this room." As the eldest maid in my house, Chun Tao is not good at taking care of her master, and she has repeatedly disobeyed me and disobeyed me, and she does not listen to the teaching......"

When Chun Tao heard this, she was frightened and called out in a panic: "Girl, Chun Tao grew up with you since childhood, hard work, no merit and hard work......"

Lin Zhixuan was interrupted by her, but she didn't speak, just looked at her coldly, Chun Tao was panicked by her, and finally stopped saying no more words.

Lin Zhixuan continued: "I don't know how to be respectful or inferior, I don't know what to do, I have been in my house for so long, but I can't even tell who is her master and who should listen to her orders, how can I be so stupid and worthy of taking the share of the first-class maid in my room?"

"Girl...... The girl ......" Chun Tao stepped forward on her knees, grabbed Lin Zhixuan's quilt tightly, and pleaded in a low voice.

Lin Zhixuan didn't look at her, but only looked at the people kneeling on the ground in front of her: "Today, I will demote Chun Tao to a second-class maid and hand over the silver box in my house, and ...... Autumn chrysanthemum storage. ”

As soon as Lin Zhixuan's words came out, Xia Lan, who was kneeling on the side, also softened her body, she decided that the next one was her, Lin Zhixuan seemed to be going to mention Qiu Ju and Dongmei as first-class maids, and abolished the two of them.

Xia Lan waited frustratedly for a long time, but she didn't want Lin Zhixuan to speak again, just quietly looked at the people who knelt on the ground with different expressions. She knew what she meant, they already understood, this was enough, some things can't be rushed, you have to take your time, now Qiu Ju is still guilty of something outside after all, it is too eye-catching to mention her at this time, but the silver box in her house is handed over to her for safekeeping, and the people in her own house will definitely be able to understand Qiu Ju's catties.

As for Xia Lan, she didn't want to be in such a hurry to waste the big girl in her house without leaving any of them, so it was too unruly, and Dongmei was too young after all.

Today's reward and punishment is nothing more than killing chickens and monkeys, giving a notice so that the people in this room will know whose face they should see and listen to whose words in the future.

Lin Zhixuan was silent for a long time, and the people in the room couldn't figure out Lin Zhixuan's thoughts, and became more and more worried, one by one, their hearts were like drums, bowing down to introspection, carefully remembering what mistakes they had, whether they would provoke Lin Zhixuan's punishment, and began to worry about how Lin Zhixuan would punish them.

Seeing that cold sweat gradually appeared on everyone's faces, Lin Zhixuan continued: "Other people, you know what you have done, I will write it down for you here first, so as to see the effect...... Go ahead, I'm tired. ”

A room full of people was like being amnestied, and they kowtowed to Lin Zhixuan before they got up and retreated tremblingly.

Chun Tao did not give up, and knelt beside Lin Zhixuan's bed and refused to leave, crying: "Girl, girl, Chun Tao has been serving by the girl's side since she was a child, thinking about the girl wholeheartedly, what did Chun Tao do wrong, the girl can't mention it, but she wants to give Chun Tao such a humiliation in public, why don't the girl just drive Chun Tao out of the house, Chun Tao is humiliated today, how can the girl let Chun Tao gain a foothold in the house? The girl listened to whose nonsense, and she was disgusted with Chun Tao to such a point, and she had to force Chun Tao to die? girl...... Girl...... Have you ever thought about Chun Tao's situation?"

Lin Zhixuan watched her cry coldly, and finally said lightly: "I naturally planned for you, as soon as today passes, you can leave the house, hang yourself, and throw yourself into the well......
