Chapter 11 The Stepmother
As soon as Li's words came out, Xin Zixu glanced at her with interest, and then turned his head and looked at Ye Jiu with a kind of happy gaze. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Yao was stunned when he heard Li's questioning.
"Mother, the matter is not yet clear, so it is not appropriate to make a conclusion too early." Chu Qinglan glanced at Jun Su, her face was worried, and she reminded in Li's ear.
"What is not yet clear, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion died six years ago. Now a person who claims to be a concubine has appeared, not pretending, is it a dead person who can't live? Li said angrily, his attitude was very clear, and he resolutely refused to admit Ye Jiu.
Jun Su and Ye Jiu didn't seem to hear the movement around them, and they focused on the chessboard, but the speed of the falling pieces gradually slowed down.
The battle on the chess game fell into a stalemate, and the black and white sons each occupied half of the river, and they were evenly matched and did not give in to each other.
"Ah Jiu is good at chess." Jun Su suddenly praised.
This Ah Jiu, this compliment, made Shen Yao, Li and Chu Qinglan all startled.
Ye Jiu smiled lightly: "Thank you for the compliment." He actually received Jun Su's praise, without any modesty.
Shen Yao saw that Jun Su had no intention of stopping, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, asked people to move tables and chairs, and ordered people to serve refreshments. The trial hall of Jingzhao Mansion was changed into a flower hall for guests.
Li glared at Ye Jiu hatefully, but he didn't dare to disturb the two of them playing chess. The word regent, she was very jealous.
Chu Qinglan was quietly sipping tea, but she was thinking about the thing she asked the housekeeper to do.
If Ye Jiu was the only one here, it would be easy to say anything, but today Jun Su is actually there, and he seems to value that girl very much. She was worried, lest something would go wrong.
After half an hour like this, Jun Su lightly knocked a piece on the chessboard, then looked up at Ye Jiu and said with a smile: "Accept." ”
Ye Jiu was secretly annoyed in his heart, but he also knew that his chess skills were indeed slightly inferior to him, so he calmly said "admiration".
Shen Yao kept pricking up his ears to listen to the movements of the two, and when he saw that a game of chess was finally finished, he hurriedly got up from his chair, looked at Jun Su flatteringly, and asked, "Shizi, look, this case." ”
Jun Su looked annoyed and apologetic, he looked at Li and Chu Qinglan, and slowly spoke: "It's Su's rudeness, when he met an opponent of equal strength, he threw himself into it, and he forgot that this was the public court." ”
Li and Chu Qinglan got up from their seats and bowed to Jun Su, and then Chu Qinglan said with a smile: "The prince is polite, they all say that it is difficult to find a confidant, and the courtiers think that opponents are as rare as confidants." The courtier's husband has admired the chess skills of the prince for a long time, and today the courtiers have the honor to watch the game of the world, which is the luck of the courtiers. ”
Jun Su smiled and nodded to Chu Qinglan, and then turned his gaze to Shen Yao: "Lord Shen, since the female dependents of the Prime Minister's Mansion have arrived, let's start trying the case." ”
Shen Yao nodded hurriedly, and then looked at the lobby that had been changed into a guest flower hall, and felt bitter in his heart.
These things, how can he order people to withdraw them again?
"Lord Shen, since it involves the family affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it doesn't hurt to be more procedurally flexible." Jun Su took back the chess pieces one by one and reminded him.
Shen Yao breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Jun Su gratefully: "What the prince said is very true. ”
After speaking, he turned around and sat back on the court, and asked people to move Ye Jiu's chair to the middle of the direction, and after inviting her to sit down, he asked politely: "Girl, you claim to be the lost concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, do you have any evidence?" ”
Ye Jiu raised his head, looked directly at Shen Yao with a confident expression, and chuckled.
"Witness, this girl thinks this face is enough. As for the physical evidence, after I confessed to Zuo Xiang with blood, it naturally existed. ”
When Shen Yao heard this, he stared at the veil on Ye Jiu's face, scratching like a cat's claw in his heart, and he couldn't wait to take off the veil immediately and see Ye Jiu's true face.
Li glared at Ye Jiu angrily and snorted coldly: "It's nonsense, even if you look similar to my son, it doesn't mean that you are his daughter." Moreover, everyone in the imperial capital knows that my son is going to do the imperial errand at this time, and the person is not in the imperial capital. When you say that you recognize relatives by dripping blood, you are clearly delaying time. You are a liar who covets the wealth of the prime minister's house and pretends to be a concubine. ”
Chu Qinglan looked at Ye Jiu lightly, and after Li finished speaking, she said, "Mother is reasonable, girl, besides that, do you have any evidence?" "I didn't plan to let Ye Jiu take off the veil.
Shen Yao looked stunned, he couldn't have expected that the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion would insist that Ye Jiu was a fake. He showed a little embarrassed, turned his head to look at Jun Su, but saw that he was looking at Ye Jiu intently, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
After a fierce struggle and measurement in Shen Yao's heart, he looked at Ye Jiu with a smile: "Girl, Jingzhao Mansion is paying attention to ironclad evidence in handling cases. You claim to be the daughter of the Prime Minister's house, do you have any evidence? ”
Shen Yao made his position clear with the word "you" in an instant.
He suddenly guessed that the prince of the world came to Jingzhao Mansion today, not on a whim, maybe it was to support this concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Shen Yao believed in Ye Jiu's identity in his heart.
Li looked at Shen Yao dissatisfied: "Lord Shen, the granddaughter of the old body, died six years ago, what evidence can this liar have?" ”
Before Shen Yao could speak, Ye Jiu suddenly said, "Old Madam Ye, six years ago, you saw the corpse with your own eyes?" ”
Li's eyes flashed, his lips moved, and finally reluctantly said, "No." ”
Ye Jiu chuckled, slightly sarcastic: "It seems that you are very hopeful in your heart that your granddaughter will die." ”
Li glared at Ye Jiu angrily: "You are talking nonsense." ”
Ye Jiu blinked, and said clearly word by word: "Then I don't understand, as the saying goes, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." Since you haven't seen the corpse, even if you feel that the murder is auspicious, you should always have some hope that the person is still alive. How can I insist that I am a fake, and I firmly believe that people are dead. As she spoke, she looked at Shen Yao suspiciously: "Lord Shen, you have been solving cases for many years, have you ever seen such a situation, have you ever seen such a grandmother?" ”
She bit the word "grandmother" very hard, and the sarcasm between her words was undisguised.
Li Shiqi's body trembled, and he pointed at Ye Jiu with a trembling finger: "You, you ......"
Chu Qinglan gently took Li's hand, stroked her chest for her, and said comfortingly: "Mother is angry." Then she turned her head to look at Ye Jiu and scolded: "Since you call yourself the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you should know that your mother is your grandmother, how can you be so presumptuous." ”
Ye Jiu looked at Chu Qinglan with a smile, and said slowly: "Madame is angry, Ah Jiu died of her mother when she was three years old, and after her father's stepmother became pregnant, Ah Jiu was abducted by human traffickers. After nine years of exile, no one taught Ah Jiu the rules. Therefore, Ah Jiu didn't know how to treat her grandmother and stepmother. Then, her voice changed and she said happily: "Listen to the lady, is it to recognize my identity?" ”
