Chapter 211: The Sachet Case (I)
Zhihua took the blue bottom, the ordinary embroiderer's bag, and poured all the things inside on the table in front of everyone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs the two sisters said before, there was only a piece of jade pendant of average color and a stack of paper notes with a strong scent.
"This jade pendant belongs to Miss Wang?" Zhihua held it in her hand and looked at it for a moment, and looked at the Wang sisters with a smile.
Miss Wang's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and she instinctively denied it: "No! I'm ......" halfway through the words, I suddenly thought that the other party was prepared, I was afraid that the style of the jade pendant was exactly the same as the one he had before, so he immediately changed his tone: "My jade pendant is not so good, and the carving is not as good as this one." ”
"Huh...... It's really interesting, it seems that Miss Wang is very interested in jade, and she doesn't need to take it out to see how the carving is at a glance. ”
A fluttering sentence made the Wang sisters white-faced together. I thought that the other party would continue to make a fuss with this jade pendant, but I didn't think that she would put it down gently after she finished speaking, and then picked up a piece of paper and read it softly: "Affection is only the spring court moon, and it is like leaving people to shine on the flowers."
After reading this one, I replaced it with another one. "The thin shadow pities himself in the autumn water, Qing must pity me, I pity Qing"
"The bright moon does not know how to leave hatred and suffering, and the oblique light penetrates Zhu Hu to the dawn"
Three in a row are love poems that reveal strong resentment and similarity, Zhihua didn't read it anymore, and threw down the paper as if throwing something dirty, and then took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his hands.
"This concubine is only a shallow learner, and she really doesn't dare to learn from Miss Wang. Now that the thing has been recovered, please take care of it. ”
If you really take something and leave, won't this innocent basin be buckled on your head and can't be taken off for the rest of your life? Miss Wang's eyes turned red, and her sister shouted even more breathlessly: "Princess, these things are not ours. We ......"
"The sachets, jade pendants, and paper notes are all the same as what you described before. Miss Wang is saying this now, is she accusing Concubine Ben of framing you? Zhihua got up and was short of breath, obviously angry.
Mrs. Lu didn't expect things to come to such a point, the person was brought by her, and she would be implicated if something happened, but she couldn't tell the truth for a while, so she could only persuade her: "The princess is angry, my niece is young and ignorant, and she is not very good at speaking, she will never have any disrespect to you." In my opinion, maybe there is some misunderstanding in this? ”
The nosy guests have long since left, and those who remain are not afraid of the high stage. When he arrived, many people echoed and helped persuade the princess to find out.
The princess seemed to listen, her face was a little pale, and she summoned the maid named Danlu who had just sent the sachet to her, and asked in a deep voice: "How did you find this sachet, you explain it clearly to the concubine, if there is half a lie, once it is verified, it will be killed immediately!" ”
Danlu shrunk her neck in fear, and quickly knelt down and promised that she would never dare to lie. After swearing a gambling curse, this is the main topic and talking about the search process.
The slave maid came out of the Jade Xuan, and immediately found a few maids and women who were in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, and searched for a long time along the Pu Garden at the feet of Miss Wang, but found nothing. The slaves and maids are all old people who are used to being errands, and they can find out every earring that falls on the grass, let alone such a big sachet. So, the slave maid wondered if Miss Wang was hanging on a branch or something when she was walking in the garden, so she led everyone to find it again, but she still didn't see it. The slave and maid feared that something would be overlooked, so they ordered two ladders to be carried from the storehouse in the front yard and went up the tree to look for them again. The two little maids who sent the ladder heard that the slave maid was looking for the lost sachet of Miss Wang's family, and suddenly remembered that when the banquet was halfway through, they were ordered to move a few jars of apricot blossoms from the front yard, but they seemed to see two young ladies out of the Pu Garden and walking on the path leading to the front yard. Because of the messenger, the two men just glanced at them and left, and they didn't know where the two young ladies ended up. The slave couldn't find it, so she thought that the dead horse should be a live horse doctor, and led everyone out of the Pu Garden to the front yard to find it, and finally found this sachet in the plum forest in the front yard. ”
"You talk nonsense! Both of us sisters never went to the front yard at all! "It's a matter of honor, Miss Wang can't care about maintaining her demeanor, and her fingers Danlu screamed.
Danlu kowtowed again with a bitter face, "The princess Mingjian, the slave and maid don't dare to lie to the half-word, this sachet was indeed found in the front yard." As soon as the slave and maid found it, they hurriedly sent it, and they didn't know anything else. ”
One party insisted that he had never been to the front yard, and the other party bit it to death and found it in the front yard, and the big guy was like watching the court to judge the case. Talking about their own speculations one after another.
The princess who was in charge of judging the case also raised her eyebrows, obviously struggling with who to listen to. Mrs. Lu cleared her throat and interjected unhappily: "My niece, I still don't know?" Even if they are not from a high background, they still understand the most basic rules, how can they run to the front yard. I think you must be lying, and if you don't suffer a little, you won't tell the truth at all! ”
Mrs. Lu is also Zhihua's nominal mother-in-law, she is really angry, and Zhihua is not good at openly arguing with her in order to protect a maid. With a dry cough, he ordered: "Come on, drag Danlu down to reward ten boards, and continue to fight if you don't tell the truth." ”
Danlu was shocked, kowtowed like garlic and begged for mercy: "The princess spares her life, every word of the slave and maid is true, even if the slave and maid are killed, they don't dare to lie." ”
The mother-in-law in charge of the punishment would not listen to her pleas for mercy, and as soon as she received the order, she rushed over without hesitation. Just when they were about to catch Danlu, a little girl wearing a second-class maid's costume actually stood up and boldly pleaded: "Ask the princess to learn clearly, Danlu is the most sincere person on weekdays, and she has never been cheating and slippery, and she has no grievances with Miss Wang, how could she deliberately lie and frame them?" There must be something else hidden in this matter, and it is not too late to ask the princess to find out the truth and punish her. ”
The princess waved her hand impatiently: "What the two sides said is diametrically opposed, someone must be lying." Concubine Ben also believes that the two young ladies will not be so impertinent, do you still need to check the truth? ”
The little maid was in a hurry, knelt beside Danlu with a plop, and blurted out: "Why don't the princesses find the subordinates who are guarding Merlin and ask them clearly?" ”
Zhihua nodded thoughtfully, waved his hand to dismiss the two mothers-in-law who specialized in taking people: "Okay, then ask clearly and then punish." Come, go and find the steward of Merlin and the forester. ”
This excitement is getting more and more exciting, where are the gossip ladies who should have said goodbye willing to leave? Don't let them see the end from the beginning, it is estimated that many people will not be able to sleep well tonight. Therefore, in the gap between summoning the subordinates to come over, Zhihua did not forcefully chase away the guests, but ordered people to re-watch the seats, pour tea and water, and generously asked them to stay as witnesses. This generous and considerate unintentional act unexpectedly gained a good reputation afterwards, which she did not expect. (To be continued.) )
