533 White Silk
Proof of innocence?
He slammed the letter on the bookcase in front of him.
Not to mention whether he has this kung fu or not, even if he has, where is the need for this right now.
On the one hand, there is overwhelming public opinion outside, and on the other hand, there is pressure from the palace, and the face and loss of the Jin family have long been irretrievable.
The only thing he can do at the moment is to settle this matter as soon as possible and calm the anger in the palace.
"Someoneβ"
He called in a deep voice.
The servant bowed and walked in.
"What do you command?"
"Early tomorrow morning, I'll send the things to the Qingfu Temple. β
"Yes. β
A light rain fell during the night.
The next morning, the huge courtyard was silent except for the rustle of the brooms in the hands of the maids who had just started to sweep in the morning.
Until a rush of footsteps suddenly came, breaking the silence around.
ββ¦β¦β
A little maid who came back from outside the courtyard ran with her skirt and entered the main hall with a swaggering face.
"Sister Abi, something is wrong!" She snapped out of breath.
Ah Bi walked out of the room, her face was also a little flustered, but she still lowered her voice, and said calmly: "What kind of panic has you become? The girl hasn't gotten up yet, and she startled the girl, aren't you afraid of being beaten by the board?"
"But ......" The little maid couldn't take care of it anymore, and went straight down: "The slave saw that Mother Rong was coming here with the maidββ"
Before she could finish her words, the voices of the maids in the courtyard quickly came into Abi's ears.
"I've seen Rong's mother. β
The voices of the maids were all trembling.
Rong's mother is an old man of the Jin family, who is always in charge of the trivial affairs of the inner courtyard, which is equivalent to half a housekeeper. And because he has always been very strict in doing things, he is not emotional, so he has always been very respected by the servants in the house.
Rong's mother, who was tall and thin and wore a dark brown flower gown, walked into the hall with two maids.
Abi also hurriedly saluted her.
"Early in the morning, I don't know what happened to Lao Rong's mother coming in person?" she asked with a forced smile.
"The little girls are not reliable, there is really something important, I am afraid that they will not understand the meaning. What's more, I don't dare to slack off on what the master ordered. As soon as Mother Rong's words fell, she raised her hand and signaled the maid behind her to come forward.
"......" Abi didn't know how to answer her words, but when she saw the thing in the hand of the maid who came forward, her face turned white in an instant.
The maid held a black lacquer tray in her hand, and in the tray was a neatly folded white silk.
"Mother Rong, this is ......" Abi even her lips trembled.
"That's what the lord meant. Mother Rong's tone was cold, her eyes were a little colder than the frost in the morning, she looked at the inner room separated by the curtains, and said slowly: "The master said, so far, please ask the second girl to leave some dignity for herself and the Jin family, and save yourself from asking for hardship." β
Abi only felt that her breath was choked, and her body was so cold that she couldn't speak.
After Rong's mother left the words and things, she left with someone.
Abi stood in the outer room for an unknown amount of time before carrying her nearly numb feet and walking stiffly into the inner room.
Jin Rongyue didn't know when she woke up, she was wearing a white middle coat and black hair at the moment, standing in front of the window, looking out of the open window lattice, I don't know what she was looking at.
"The girl got up...... Why don't you wear shoes?"
Seeing her standing there barefoot, Abi asked in a trembling tone.
Jin Rongyue didn't answer her.
Abi clenched her fingers and spoke: "Fang Cairong's mother is here......"
Jin Rongyue still didn't speak, as if she hadn't heard it.
Abi knew that she must have listened, and what Fang Cairong's mother said outside, she must have also known.
Looking at Jin Rongyue like this at this time, she was panicked and scared for a while, only to feel that it was suddenly pitch black in front of her, and she couldn't see any hope anymore.
"Plop!"
Her legs trembled and she fell to her knees almost uncontrollably.
β¦β¦
That night, You Shi, who had not eaten tea all day, woke up from his sleep, stared at the top of the bed for a long time, and then asked the maid who was guarding the bedside, "Yue'er...... Can you go?"
The maid shook her head slightly.
"Mrs. Hui, I haven't heard from me yet. β
You Shi didn't know whether he was happy or worried, and the corners of his mouth moved.
"What about the situation over there?" she asked again.
"I heard that the second girl didn't cry or make trouble, she stayed in the room all day, no one sent food, and she didn't ask questions. But even if it's not a long time......" the maid didn't say any more.
"Has the master ever let people go there again?"
"The master hasn't returned home yet. β
After hearing this, You Shi didn't ask anything else.
She couldn't ask any more.
This time, she really didn't know how to make trouble, and she didn't know how to protect it.
She loves her daughter like her life, and even agreed with Jin Jian's decision for a moment.
It's just because she knows very well that this is indeed the best result that can be left to her daughter.
"Ma'am. β
At this time, a maid came in from outside, and whispered through a screen: "Doro came to look for the master, saying that he was ordered by Fu Hengda to get an official document that had been handed over to the master for inspection beforeβthe master was not in the house, and the slave maid came to inform the lady." β
"Did the master explain this matter before he went out?"
The butler said that the master had not mentioned it. β
"Let people go to find the master to come back, and then go back to Doro's forehead, to tell the truth, the old man has not returned to the house, if the forehead is not in a hurry to go back, just wait a while. If there is still something to do, when the master comes back, he will let people go to Fu Heng's Mansion to return the things to Fu Heng's people. You said.
The maid answered "yes" and withdrew.
Silence returned to the room.
After a long time, You Shi asked in a slightly tired tone, "Is the second son back?"
The maid replied, "Not yet." β
Jin Yiyu hasn't been to the Criminal Department for the past few days, and under the pretext that he is going to visit a friend, he has been out for four or five days.
You sighed softly.
"It's good that I didn't come back. β
The maid only hung her head, not daring to answer anything.
You closed his eyes again.
"I don't know if she will blame me, a mother, for not being able to protect her......"
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Jin Jian went to Jingren Palace to ask to see Concubine Jia.
Of course, he knew that this trip would inevitably displease Concubine Jia, who had been angry recently, but he had to come.
He didn't expect that until now, Jin Rongyue still refused to let go.
Not only did he refuse to give in, but he also used the secret letter between him and Yu Minzhong as a handle to threaten him.
"A boudoir lady, whose reputation is ruined, and who has two lives on her head, can still have such a business-seeking idea that comes from nowhere in such a situation - this kind of character who would rather die than let go is really amazing. Concubine Jia sneered and said, "But what this palace hates the most in her life is being threatened." β
