119 Farce
Su Yingzi was quickly taken to the flower hall, when she entered the room, she still had a confused look on her face, she went to the flower hall with her front feet, and before she had time to say hello to the old lady and others, Chunshui and Chunhua kneeling on the ground pounced, hugged Su Yingzi's legs and cried: "The seventh girl saves the two slaves and maids, the slaves and maids are all the five girls who listen to the seven girls, and the seven girls can't ignore the slaves and maids." ”
Rao is no matter how stupid Su Yingzi is, she also understands that something is wrong at this moment, not to mention that she has never been stupid, her face changed greatly for a while, and she stared at Chunshui and the others with surprise and anger, and said, "What are you talking nonsense!" My fifth sister and I have always had a deep sisterhood, how could I tell you to slander the fifth sister?! I don't even know who you are! Grandmother, I don't know what these two maids are talking about, I hope that Grandmother will make the decision for me! ”
Su Yingzi said as she pushed away the two maids and knelt down, Ma's eyes stared at Su Yingzi deeply, and said, "Where is your maid rose?" ”
Su Yingzi was surprised when she heard this, and before she could answer, the two mothers-in-law outside came in with a maid wearing a red bikini, it was Rose, and said, "Old lady, this little hoof wanted to sneak out, but was stopped by the two slaves and maids. ”
As she spoke, she pressed Rose to the ground, and Rose fell to her knees with a pale face and shivered. The old lady looked at Su Yingzi, pointed at Rose and said, "Chunshui and Chunhua confessed that Rose gave them silver wealth and instructed them to slander the five girls, but this girl is a rose?" is so panicked and sneaky, it seems that he is weak-hearted? Seven girls, what else do you have to say! ”
Rose was shocked when she heard this, and kowtowed: "Old lady, the slave maid really doesn't know what the old lady said, the slave maid never instructed these two little maids to do anything, just now the slave maid listened to the movement in the house is not right, afraid that something will happen to the seventh girl, so I thought about secretly sending a letter to my aunt, and the slave maid was wronged." ”
When the old lady heard this, her eyes showed a fierce light, and she said: "The master didn't ask, but he dared to argue, it was really not a good one, so he slapped his mouth twenty first!" ”
The mother-in-law immediately opened her bow left and right and fanned Rose's face, and when the fight was over, Rose suddenly softened to the ground like a puddle of mud, and her originally pretty face suddenly swollen and unshaped.
Su Yingzi knelt beside her and her face turned pale, kowtowed: "Grandmother wants to convict her granddaughter, she must let her granddaughter know what happened, and she must give her granddaughter a chance to defend herself!" ”
The old lady glanced at the eldest lady, and the eldest lady told the matter of Fang Cai, and for a while Su Yingzi and Rose were surprised on their faces, Su Yingzi kowtowed and said: "Grandmother Mingjian, Rose's pearl earrings were lost three days ago, and the maids of the granddaughters all know about it, and the grandmother will know it when she asks." ”
Rose also endured the pain and got up and said, "Old lady, the slave maid has never rewarded them with pearl earrings to buy them, otherwise why only one earring?" The earring was still in the slave's dresser, and the slave could take it for the old lady to see. The slave maid did talk to these two maids on the west wall, but these two little maids said that they heard that I was good at needlework, and took two patterns to ask the slave maid for color matching and needlework, and the slave maid was wronged! ”
Su Yingzi looked at Yingluo with tears in her eyes and said, "Fifth sister doesn't believe me either?" How could I try to ruin the reputation of the fifth sister so that I can replace the fifth sister? I also live in Qiushui Courtyard, our sisters are both prosperous and lossy, the reputation of the fifth sister is bad, I will also suffer from suspicion, the Chi family only has to repent, how can they hire me instead? No matter how stupid I am, I still have this kind of understanding. Fifth sister, I really haven't done such a despicable slander! ”
Before Yingluo could say anything, Ma Shi said in a deep voice: "You still want to deny the stolen goods, okay, pull the rose down and hit the twenty boards first, I want to see if she is still stubborn." ”
Su Yingzi's face was pale, but Yingluo took a step forward, blessed her body, and said, "Grandmother, I believe in the seventh sister!" ”
Yingluo's words suddenly made Su Yingzi's tears roll down, and her pale little face glowed.
Although today's incident is not complicated, I am afraid that most of the people in this room understand that Su Yingzi was framed, and Su Yingzi is not so stupid or impulsive.
But the difficulty is that behind the scenes, there are all human and material evidence, and the old lady's eldest maid saw Rose talking to the two little maids under the west wall. Therefore, Su Yingzi is full of mouths and can't tell clearly.
In addition, Su Yingzi is still young, and the old lady clearly wants to press the charge on Su Yingzi's body and protect the person behind the scenes, Su Yingzi inevitably panicked, and now seeing Yingluo standing up and speaking, Su Yingzi has rekindled hope.
Yingluo said, but Su Yingying said: "The fifth sister and the seventh sister are good, such a deep sisterhood is really touching, in my opinion, grandmother will bypass the seventh sister this time, the bitter master will not be investigated, why should grandmother be that wicked person again." ”
Su Yingying's words are indeed confirmed that today's matter was done by Su Yingzi, where is the intercession for Su Yingzi, it is obvious that she is adding oil and vinegar, the old lady immediately said in a deep voice: "What nonsense, if the real bitter master is not investigated, it will be over, and no punishment will be given, and this inner house will not be chaotic in the future?" ”
Yingluo glanced at Su Yingying, and said, "Fourth sister is afraid that she misunderstood what I meant, I didn't say that I wouldn't pursue the seventh sister, but that I believe that this matter was not done by the seventh sister!" ”
Seeing Su Yingying's embarrassed face, the eldest lady said: "The human and material evidence are all there, and there are pine branches to testify, why is it not the seventh girl's doing, five girls, you have a good heart, it is one thing to love your sister, but you can't be so emotional." ”
Xiao Liu saw that Bai opened his mouth, and immediately said: "Since the five girls said this, there must be a basis. I look at the seven girls as a good one, maybe they were really wronged, the sister-in-law loves her niece the most on weekdays, how can she not distinguish two sentences for the seven girls today, but she is anxious to convict the seven girls, which is not like the sister-in-law's personality. ”
Bai's face changed, and the handkerchief he was holding angrily was twisted. Xiao Liu's words clearly implied that she had a ghost in her heart, so she was in a hurry to convict the seventh girl.
Su Yingying smiled when she heard this, and said: "The fourth aunt is afraid that she misunderstood her mother, and most of her mother was also so anxious because she cherished her fifth sister who suffered such a big grievance." ”
Seeing that the big room and the fourth room were about to make trouble again, the old lady's face became even more tired, and she said in a deep voice: "Okay! Five girls, you say, what basis is there to affirm that this matter was not done by seven girls? ”
Yingluo blessed her body and said, "Grandmother, let's talk about this human and physical evidence first. The physical evidence is only the pearl earring of the rose, and the maid said that the rose was rewarded, but where is the reward for a single earring? On the contrary, it was Rose who said that the earrings were lost earlier and more believing. ”
Yingluo said, the spring water couldn't hold back first, and interjected: "The pearl earring slave has always liked it, and she has shown her love in front of Sister Rose several times, but the pearl earrings are a birthday gift from the seventh girl to Sister Rose, so Sister Rose has never let the slave and maid touch it." This time, the slave and maid were used, so one was given to the slave and maid, saying that the other one would stay by his side to make a souvenir. Sister Rose on the left and right rewarded the slaves and maids with ten taels of silver, and this earring was just an addition. ”
She was so anxious to jump out, Yingluo glanced at her with a smile and said, "Oh? Then I ask you, where is Rose and when did she give you this pearl earring? ”
Chunshui hurriedly said: "It's just over at the west wall." ”
Yingluo nodded, and then asked, "Did Rose take it directly from her ear and give it to you?" ”
Chunshui reacted quickly, shook his head and said: "It's not, when Rose came to Qiushui Courtyard, she wore a pair of plain silver studs, and these pearl earrings were given to the slave maid by her in a handkerchief." ”
Yingluo immediately laughed and said, "So there was only one pearl earring in the veil at that time?" ”
Chunshui didn't understand what Yingluo meant, hesitated and nodded, Yingluo sneered, her eyes lit up, and said, "Nonsense!" If there was a pearl earring in the veil at that time, wouldn't it mean that Rose had the intention of murdering me when she was in Qiushui Courtyard, but how would she know that Prince Chi was coming to the old lady's Fulu Courtyard at that time? I can also buy you with a pearl earring, and tell you to spread rumors when the eldest prince Chi leaves! ”
Chunshui knew that Yingluo was waiting for him here, and he was a little short of words for a while, and argued strongly: "Maybe ...... Maybe Rose came out with a pair of earrings, but she only took one out for the slave maid. ”
Yingluo sneered and said, "This is really strange, is Rose idle and has nothing to do with a pair of earrings on her body to practice hatching eggs?" ”
Chunshui's face changed slightly, and his eyes kept rolling, but he was speechless for a while.
This will be anyone's sight, this maid clearly has a ghost, Chunshui was stared at by Yingluo in a cold sweat, but Yingluo turned her eyes away, no longer persecuted her, Chunshui suddenly relaxed, and collapsed on the ground.
Yingluo said again: "This person's testimony is even more untenable, Sister Songzhi saw Rose and the two maids talking by the wall, but she didn't hear what the three of them were saying, Rose said that the two maids were asking for needlework at that time, but the two maids had another statement, since grandmother thought that Rose's wording was not credible, then the two maids' statements should be the same." What's more, the seventh sister is not stupid, how can she do this kind of thing, how can she be a confidant, these two little maids are from her grandmother's yard, and they have no contact with the seventh sister on weekdays, how can the seventh sister really think that ten taels of silver can buy the loyalty of the two? ”
Yingluo said but suddenly turned around to stare at Chunshui and Chunhua, and said, "You two are still not honest!" If you dare to talk nonsense and slander people at will, I don't think you need to sell it, you should be killed with a cane, lest such a broken-mouthed maid be released and continue to talk nonsense, ruining my reputation. ”
Yingluo's words immediately made the two maids tremble, and their faces were full of panic. Yingluo said to the old lady again: "Grandmother, today the Praetorian Guards have finally entered the inner house, and if something like this happens, if you don't get it right, it will affect the reputation of the entire Hou Mansion's female dependents, and these two maids with broken mouths can't stay!" Woe to let it out! I also asked my grandmother to punish them severely for the reputation of our Manchurian girls, and allowed my granddaughter to ask! ”
Ma Shi also felt that this was the case when he heard this, and he was shocked for a while, where did she dare to take advantage of the reputation of the Houfu women, you must know that the lady and lady of the Hou Mansion who were only made by Concubine You beat the Hou Mansion women some time ago have become the laughing stock of the capital, if this time there are foul words about the Beiyao Assassin Yinchao Hou's Mansion again, then will the women of the Ding'an Hou Mansion go out in the future?
Ma's face was ugly, and he said angrily: "Escort these two nonsense maids down to fight fifty boards each!" ”
This beating fifty boards means beating to death, so that the eleven or twelve little maids can't withstand the fifty boards at all.
Chunshui and Chunhua didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse so quickly, and they suddenly panicked. The reason why they had no fear before was that the person behind the curtain said that even if they were to punish them, it would only be for them to be taken away, and then they would be given a hundred taels of settling-in money each, and they would be freed.
But now that they saw it, they were directly killed, and the two looked up at Su Yingying sitting next to the old lady in a panic, but it was Su Yingying's vicious eyes that were opposite.
The two instinctively shrank for a moment, and hesitated for a while, you must know that the fourth girl is not the seventh girl of the three-room maid, the fourth girl is the daughter of the long house, not only the favor of the old lady, but also the heart of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is in charge of the Hou Mansion, if they bite the four girls out, it will also not be able to save their lives.
But no matter how insistent it was the seventh girl's order, it was obviously not possible, the two of them suddenly kowtowed, crying: "The old lady spares her life, the slaves and maids are all nonsense, no one instructs the slaves and maids, they are all slaves and maids who chew the root of their tongues, but I didn't expect to be listened to by the eldest prince Chi, and the slaves and maids are afraid of taking responsibility, so the seven girls who are biting indiscriminately." The old lady spared her life, and the slaves and maids did not dare anymore. ”
Yingluo was not blind, and the people sitting in this room were naturally not blind, and they all saw the glance when Fang Cai Chunshui and Chunhua looked at Su Yingying in a panic, and there was nothing they didn't understand for a while.
The two maids cried and made a fuss at this time, saying that it was an accident and no one instructed them at all, which is not to mention, if it was really an accident, what happened to the ten taels of silver that the two of them had in hand?
Yingluo looked at Su Yingying with a smile, her eyes were full of coldness, Su Yingying also regretted it in her heart at the moment, and secretly regretted that she was in a hurry.
Just because Xiao Qiyan was a man with a gentle temperament in her previous life, Su Yingying liked this type of man, and when she saw that Chi Jingyi was even better than Xiao Qiyan, she suddenly felt that such a man had fulfilled her most unsightly Yingluo, which really made her jealous and unspeakable.
Not to mention Yingluo, Su Yingying always has an inexplicable sense of familiarity and oppression, obviously she is the one with a noble status, but when facing this three-room girl, she always has a feeling of being pressed to death, which makes Su Yingying feel very bad, and she can always remember some bad memories of her previous life.
The overlap of these two thoughts made Su Yingying's heart surge, and she was excited to do such an impulsive thing. At this moment, she was stared at by Yingluo, and her ten fingers were unconsciously frightened and panicked into her palms, and two of her long nails were broken due to excessive force, and the ten fingers were connected to her heart, and the pain entered the bone marrow.
The Bai clan also saw the clue, and hurriedly said angrily: "Didn't you hear the old lady's words!" Don't hurry up and block the hands of these two maids, pull them out and beat them hard! ”
Bai's words immediately made Xiao Liu sneer, and he raised his voice: "Slow! Things haven't been sorted out yet, what is my sister-in-law anxious about? ”
When the two maids saw that the Bai family and Su Yingying were about to kill people, they suddenly couldn't help it, and cried, "Old lady, it's four...... Hmmm......"
Ma Shi saw it clearly, how could it be possible for the two of them to bite Su Yingying out directly, and they were still protective of Su Yingying's old lady, not to mention, Su Yingying is the daughter of the long house, if she has the reputation of framing her sisters, her marriage in the future will also be affected, and the old lady has high hopes for Su Yingying, where is she willing to lose Su Yingying for Yingluo.
Therefore, without waiting for the two maids to shout, the old lady passed by with a sharp look, and suddenly the mother-in-law quickly blocked the mouths of the two maids with sweat towels.
Seeing this, Xiao Liu was unwilling and wanted to say more, but was glared at fiercely by the old lady. Xiao Liu's family relied on the love of the old lady on weekdays, and at this moment, he was really annoyed to see the old lady, so he naturally gave birth to it.
Su Jinghua's face was purple and blue, and he was about to step forward, but Yingluo suddenly grabbed his sleeve, dragged his person back, and shook his head at him.
The old lady obviously wants to protect Su Yingying, and at this time, even if she forces the old lady, it will not have any effect. What's more, I'm afraid that Chunshui and Chunhua will not have empirical evidence in their hands to prove that they were instructed by Su Yingying.
There is no empirical evidence, and in the end, it is inevitable that Su Yingying's crime will not be cured, not to mention, this time it will be troubled, she will tear her face with Su Yingying, in the end it is the eldest lady in charge of this mansion, she and Su Yingying are too ugly, I am afraid that the Bai family will jump off the wall in a hurry, and her life in the Hou Mansion will be difficult in the future.
So she didn't mind letting Su Yingying go for a while, but things were like this, and the old lady was afraid that she would punish and discipline Su Yingying behind her back, and she might have a lot of disgust for the Bai family and Su Yingying.
Yingluo's actions naturally didn't hide the old lady's eyes, seeing that Yingluo stopped Su Jinghua, and let the mother-in-law drag the two little maids down, she was still satisfied with Yingluo's knowledge and interest of the old lady, and felt that Yingluo was wronged, and even said: "Okay, today I was tired of being troubled by these two nonsense maids, let's disperse, seeing that it's already dinner, the five girls and the seven girls stayed to eat with me today." ”
On weekdays, the old lady doesn't leave much to eat, and even if she stays, she is the concubine of the long room and the fourth room, and today the old lady deliberately left Yingluo and Su Yingzi to appease.
Yingluo sneered in her heart, An Zhiruo had a meal in Fulu Courtyard, and when Su Yingzi left Fulu Garden, she was rewarded by the old lady with two sets of extremely good head and face jewelry, which were worth a thousand taels of silver, to say the least.
As soon as the two of them left, the old lady over there said hatefully: "The eldest lady and the fourth girl, go and call them!" ”
Songzhi heard that the old lady was full of gloomy and terrifying, and hurriedly turned away, and after a while, Bai was in front of Su Yingying and entered the house behind, and before he could say hello, a pastel rehmannia Fushou tea cup smashed head-on, and it was smashed on Bai's right shoulder, and the hot tea in it spilled out, splashing the eldest lady's neck, Rao is wearing thick in winter today, and the eldest lady also screamed and opened her clothes and gasped.
But the old lady pointed at her angrily and said, "Your good daughter! first brought trouble to the Hou Mansion, and the daughter of the Hou Mansion was beaten on the street, and now it is even more promising, framing her cousin. Good girl, how did you teach you like this! Also, you are really bold, even my wife's Fulu Courtyard has to be planted with people, and my wife really underestimated you in the past! ”
Bai didn't understand why Su Yingying was full of food and held on to provoke Su Yingluo, and she couldn't think of what good this could do to Su Yingying, so she went out and reprimanded Su Yingying, but Su Yingying gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, only her face was gloomy.
At this moment, Bai Shi was taught a lesson by the old lady's nose, his face turned red, and he knelt down. Su Yingying also knelt down and cried: "Grandmother, it's all the granddaughter's fault, and the granddaughter's idea has nothing to do with the mother." The granddaughter also saw that the fifth sister always caused trouble, and the grandmother was bedridden, and when the fifth sister did not come home, the grandmother was happy every day and was in good health, and the granddaughter really felt sorry for the grandmother in her heart, which would ...... The granddaughter knew that she was wrong, the grandmother wanted to punish her, and the granddaughter took it all in, and the grandmother of Wanwang misunderstood her mother and blamed her mother. ”
Su Yingying said and looked at the sick old lady with tears on her face, and her expression was so sincere that she couldn't say how sincere she was.
Ma thought of Yingluo's life several times, thought that he had not felt comfortable for a day since this granddaughter came back, and thought of these days of lying in bed and taking medicine all day long, and his mouth was full of bitterness, and he was touched by Su Yingying's words, and the disgust for Yingluo in his heart unconsciously rose up, and he was not so angry when he looked at Su Yingying.
For a while, I thought that it was really unreasonable for Su Yingying to frame Yingluo, and I was afraid that I really felt sorry for her, so I did such an impulsive and stupid thing. At this time, the old lady had completely forgotten about it, she would not be able to afford to be sick, more because the maid of the Hou Mansion was violently beaten by Concubine You at that time, and that incident was provoked by Su Yingying.
Ma Shi sighed unconsciously and said, "Why are you so stupid, this kid is a piece of filial piety, and you shouldn't act like this." Your fifth sister's reputation is bad, the entire Houfu girl is implicated, her relatives are yellow, isn't it her grandmother who is angry and uncomfortable? ”
Su Yingying couldn't help crying even more, choked up: "The granddaughter just can't see the fifth sister treating her grandmother with yin and yang, and she just can't see her grandmother lying in bed angrily, but she has never served the decoction in front of her grandmother, and her grandmother is sick, and she is happily married." I...... It was the granddaughter who wanted to be left, so she did this stupid thing, and no matter how the grandmother punished her, the granddaughter had no complaints. ”
Her angry expression had eased, but she was still dissatisfied with the two of them reaching out to her yard, and said, "That's it, from tomorrow, I will ask the fourth daughter-in-law to help you take charge of the middle feed, and the eldest daughter-in-law will also have a little time to reflect on herself and teach her children." ”
When the eldest lady heard this, her face changed, and she raised her head to object, but she met the old lady's cold expression, but she didn't dare to refute, and said: "The daughter-in-law strictly follows her mother's teachings, and Ming'er will put some pairs of cards to the four brothers and sisters." ”
Ma Shi stared at Su Yingying again, and said: "Your temperament has been a little different since you fell into the lake in the early spring, grandmother used to be lively and clever when you were lively, but now it seems that this is not the case, but a little too impetuous, this time I will not punish you for the sake of filial piety, and go back to the grounded for two months, and copy and copy the female precepts to determine the characterization!" ”
Su Yingying bit her lower lip tightly when she heard this, and then kowtowed and thanked the old lady.
Over there, Yingluo and Su Yingzi have returned to Qiushui Courtyard, Aunt Jiang has heard what happened, and is waiting for the two of them in Qiushui Courtyard, seeing the two coming back, Aunt Jiang took a few steps to meet Yingluo and was deeply blessed by Yingluo, and thanked her: "Today, thanks to the fifth aunt to exonerate the seventh girl, the fifth girl please accept the concubine." ”
Yingluo hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up Aunt Jiang, and said: "What did Aunt Jiang say, in this mansion, in addition to my younger brother, the seventh sister and I are the best, how can I be suspicious of the seventh sister, the matter is not done by the seventh sister, I naturally want to protect the seventh sister." Besides, my seventh sister and I are sisters, and it's rare to have a good relationship, and I still point to being able to be a pair of good sisters with my seventh sister forever, how can she be separated from our sisters' feelings? ”
How could Yingluo not understand Su Yingying's intentions, human and material evidence could not withstand scrutiny, and Su Yingying also knew that she would not suspect Su Yingzi. But she still pushed the matter on Su Yingzi, just to make the old lady severely punish Su Yingzi, and also to make Su Yingzi have a bad problem with herself because of this matter, and if the two sisters have a dislike in the future, Su Yingying will be able to find opportunities from it.
She really didn't understand what was going on with this Su Yingying, she was as unreasonable as a mad dog. After today, the two have become even more hostile, and it seems that she has to ask people about Su Yingying's affairs, so as not to be plotted again in the future.
Su Yingzi's eyes turned red when she heard Yingluo's words, and she clenched Yingluo's hand and said: "What the fifth sister said is that we still have to be a pair of good sisters forever, so as not to let those who have a heart succeed in their calculations and separate our sisters' feelings." ”
Yingluo came back to her senses, met Su Yingzi's tearful eyes full of emotion and affection, and pinched her cheeks with a smile. The relationship between the two sisters has become closer after this incident.
