Chapter Sixty-Four: The Scapegoat

Seeing that Zhao looked at him suspiciously, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but panic in his heart, and secretly said, it's not good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In order to buy Ziyu, she gave her some gold and silver utensils and a box of precious incense powder, and she didn't pay attention to it at the time, but she didn't expect it to be the one that Zhao gave her.

What to do? How should she explain it in order to dispel Zhao's suspicions about herself? She didn't want to be a person who didn't get to the big house, so she put herself in!

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhao made up his mind, and walked to Zhao and knelt down in front of him sadly, "Mother, now it seems that this matter has something to do with me." ”

"Then tell me, where is your box of white jade orchid now?" Zhao asked in a deep voice.

"Alas," Xiao Zhao sighed, "I don't know if you remember that a few days ago, at the Duanyang Night Banquet, my daughter-in-law specially prepared a dish of Dinghu vegetarian for you, in fact, there were a lot of twists and turns in the preparation of this dish, and it was almost difficult to serve it, thanks to Mama Qin's great help, this dish can be presented to your eyes." Because of this, the daughter-in-law felt that she owed Mama Qin a favor, so she sent a box of incense powder to her, but she didn't expect that Piao Fu was sloppy, but she gave the incense powder you gave to her daughter-in-law to Mama Qin, as for how this incense powder got into the hands of Ziyu, the daughter-in-law didn't know. ”

Zhao's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and he turned his gaze to Mama Qin.

"That's right," Mama Qin nodded when she saw it, "The second lady gave the slave maid a box of incense powder, but the slave maid has never used it, so she can keep it alive." Qin's heart and eyes turned quickly, and he immediately understood what Xiao Zhao's words meant, so he followed Xiao Zhao's words and agreed.

"Oh, since you said that the incense powder is collected by you, then you should tell me, why this purple jade has such a strong fragrance of white jade and orchid?" The Zhao family always felt that they were hiding something, but they couldn't say it clearly?

"Then, the old lady allows the slave to go back and take a look, okay?" Mama Qin asked cautiously.

She is also difficult to ride a tiger now, so she can only make a show with the old lady and take herself out first. She thought about it just now, and when she went back after a while, she said that the incense powder was not found and lost, even if the old lady had some suspicions, as long as Ziyu did not tell the truth, she could save her own life.

Zhao pondered for a long time, and said to Mama Zhao standing behind her: "You go with her to see if her incense powder is still there." ”

Mama Zhao took the order and temporarily retreated with Mama Qin.

"You get up first." Zhao waved at Xiao Zhao and shouted. Relying on a box of incense powder alone, it can't be concluded that the second family's family must have something to do with this matter, and when Xinlan and the others come back, the truth will be revealed.

At this time, only Ziyu was left kneeling in the hall.

She was very scared in her heart now, how could she not hear what Xiao Zhao said just now? It's just a warning to her not to talk nonsense. She is really remorseful now, she can even foresee that when her cousin comes back later, thinking about the good thing, she may say that the incense powder was given to her, then she still has some way to live, but if her cousin only wants to clarify herself, then she will be dead.

After a short time, Mama Zhao and Mama Qin hurried back.

Everyone saw Mama Zhao holding an enamel box in her hand, which was no different from Liangchen's, walked straight to Zhao's side, said a few words in her ear, and then stood behind Zhao and stopped talking.

And Mama Qin walked to Zhao and knelt down in front of Zhao with a panicked expression, and said in a confused tone: "The old lady forgives the sins, the slave's share of the white jade orchid incense, I don't know why, I lost it, Mama Zhao searched it out in Ziyu's room, the slave thought, I'm afraid that this girl is young, and she can't help but be tempted when she sees the good incense powder, so she was dizzy for a while and stole it." ”

When Ziyu heard Mama Qin's words, she couldn't support it anymore, and knelt on the ground with a weak body, it seemed that her cousin was going to push her out and let her bear all the faults!

But does she dare to admit it? Her family's expenses every year depend on her cousin's help, how dare she disobey her cousin's words?

Thinking of this, Ziyu fell to the ground with a pale face, and responded in a deep voice: "It's the slave maid who is confused, and for a while she covets the white jade and orchid incense, she is greedy and has done something wrong, and she hopes that the old lady will spare the slave and maid's life." ”

Seeing Ziyu like this, the Qin family also exhaled quietly in his heart, thinking that she was his cousin and niece after all, so he pretended to plead, "The old lady is angry, this girl wants to be young, ignorant, and has never seen anything good, so she will be like this." ”

"Hmph," Zhao snorted in an unpleasant tone, "It's over when you're young and ignorant?" Then how should she explain that she framed Mama An with empty mouth and white teeth? Ziyu, let me ask you, why did you frame Mama An like this, did she have any deep hatred with you? ”

"Slave maid, slave maid and Mama An have no deep enmity, they are all slaves and maids who are confused, jealous of Mama An's status, beg the old lady to spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid will never dare again!" Ziyu cried and kowtowed.

"You say, you do all this just because you're jealous?" Zhao listened to Ziyu's words, and his eyes lit up.

What she said was so unreasonable, did she dare to frame the housekeeper of a room just because of jealousy? But she insisted on it like this, and she couldn't find anything wrong with it for a while? But she always felt in her heart that things would not be so simple.

"Yes, they are all slaves and maids, and I beg the old lady to spare the slaves and maids once." Ziyu is still the same thing.

Seeing that Ziyu was so stubborn, Zhao knew that it would be impossible to achieve any results if he asked further, so he coldly instructed Mama Zhao, "Since this girl is responsible for it, and only says that she did these things alone, then according to the rules, hit fifty boards, drive out of the house, and never hire in the future!" ”

"Yes, old lady." Mama Zhao got the order, so she went to beckon a few rough mothers-in-law to come in and dragged Ziyu out.

"The old lady spares her life, the slave and maid don't dare anymore, the old lady spares her life." Ziyu cried and begged.

But Zhao didn't speak, and Mama Zhao and the others naturally didn't listen to her begging for mercy, and quickly dragged her out.

At this time, Luo Qingran raised his eyes slightly, glanced to the side, and saw Xiao Zhao and Qin looking at each other, and they both exhaled softly, as if they were relieved.

She snorted coldly in her heart, they are relieved now, I'm afraid it's early, right?

Sure enough, as soon as Ziyu was dragged away, the Zhao family pointed at the Qin family and said: "Today's matter, in the end, you didn't investigate it, so rashly brought someone to me to complain, you are in charge, it is better to change someone else to do it." ”
