"It's only been half a month, and the lamp oil in Miss Yan's room is not enough." Mother Sun raised her eyebrows, glanced around, and said in a loud voice, "Does anyone know where this lamp oil went?" ”

The maid in one place immediately hung her head, not daring to look at Mother Sun's eyes.

No one answered.

Mother Sun turned her head to look at the eldest lady.

The eldest lady leisurely stroked the red jade ring on her finger, her face seemed calm and waveless, and her voice said leisurely, "What is the rat spirit in this house?" Or is it someone making a fuss? Now stand up and be able to take it lightly. With a turn of his eyes, he suddenly said coldly, "If you refuse to stand up now and be found out by me, then don't blame me for not being human......"

There was a tension on everyone's bodies, especially Xia Xiang, whose bodies trembled involuntarily, and the sound of trembling mouth could be vaguely heard, which showed that they were extremely afraid.

The eldest lady's gaze suddenly stopped on Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang seemed to feel the fierceness in those eyes, and her body couldn't help but tremble even more, like a sifting chaff, she tried hard to control it, but the more she controlled it, the more unbearable it looked, and the more she trembled.

The eldest lady sneered, and she handed Mother Sun a look.

Mother Sun understood, and immediately walked to Xia Xiang's side, staring at her, "You come forward, Mrs. has something to ask you." ”

Xia Xiang's heart immediately tangled, as if a loop of rope strangled her neck, making her breathless.

She got up tremblingly, lowered her eyebrows and walked two steps to the eldest lady, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly in fright, "Madam, the slave doesn't know anything, the slave really didn't steal the lamp oil......"

Mu Yan sneered in her heart when she heard this, this girl is really stupid to say, the eldest lady hasn't asked yet, she herself is scared like this first.

Don't admit yourself......

"Did you steal the lamp oil?" The eldest lady smiled coldly, pinched the ring and said, "I haven't asked yet, you're in a hurry." ”

Xia Xiang really wanted to bite off her tongue, but she was too weak-hearted, so she couldn't help but beg for mercy first.

"The slave is just ......" Xia Xiang wanted to defend something, but her tongue seemed to be knotted, and she couldn't find a suitable reason to justify.

She was sweating profusely, and her fingertips were white.

"You didn't steal the lamp oil, why are you so nervous?" The eldest lady glared at her obliquely, and gave her mother another look.

Xia Xiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and muttered in her mouth, "Yes, the lamp oil was not stolen by the slave maid......"

"Didn't you steal it?" The eldest lady asked lazily.

Before Xia Xiang could react, her chin was suddenly pinched, and then she slapped her face hard.

The people in the room gasped, and their heads drooped lower.

Mother Sun stood in front of Xia Xiang, she squeezed Xia Xiang's palm-sized face tightly with a straight face, and the slap was made by her.

Xia Xiang's eyes were full of horror, and she didn't even dare to scream.

"Say, did you steal the lamp oil?"

Mother Sun looked at Xia Xiang with disgust.

Xia Xiang's beaten eyes were full of tears, but she didn't dare to cry, she didn't dare to scream, she shook her head with difficulty, "...... No, I didn't steal it. ”

Crackling......

The wick of the broken candle suddenly burst out with a spark, the candle flame shone, and the eldest lady's face became even more gloomy.

She coldly spat out two words, "Hard mouth." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mother Sun gave Xia Xiang two big ear scrapers, and the corners of Xia Xiang's mouth suddenly burst out bloodshot.

Xia Xiang's painful tears fell suddenly, and begged, "Mrs. spare your life, the lamp oil is really not stolen by the slave maid......"

"Tough ......"

Bang Bang ......

Two more big-eared scrapers were pumped on Natsuka's face.

Mother Sun glared and said sharply, "Don't you say it yet?" He reminded Xia Xiang's ear again, "Mrs. said that if it is found out seriously, it will not end well." Do you want to say it yourself, or do you want your wife to check, but think about it. ”

Xia Xiang was soaked in cold sweat, and Mother Sun's words smashed on top of her head like a scorching thunder.

The eldest lady rubbed her temples and half-squinted her eyes and said lazily, "It's not too early, if you say it, I will give you a chance to say it, if you don't say it, I will order someone to search, I don't believe that I can't find any clues......"

Xia Xiang's face was like ashes, her lips were closed, and finally she bit her lip and cried and admitted, "Mrs. doesn't need to check, it's true...... It was the lamp oil that the slave and maid had stolen. ”

Mother Sun let go of the hand that was pinching her chin.

Xia Xiang slumped on the ground, like a puddle of mud.

The eldest lady looked at her in annoyance and asked, "When did you start stealing it?" But there are accomplices? ”

Chunxiang Dongxiang and they have a good relationship with Xia Xiang, and when they heard the eldest lady ask their accomplices, they couldn't help but be afraid, for fear that Xia Xiang would pull them into the water.

Xia Xiang said with tears in her eyes, "The slave maid is ...... Just take this one......"

The eldest lady seemed to disbelieve, "Just once? ”

“…… Yes, that's right...... Just once. Xia Xiang was weak-hearted, stammered and replied, and secretly looked at Mu Yan out of the corner of her eye.

Mu Yan didn't say a word.

Xia Xiang is the third wife's person, the eldest wife and the third wife have no deep hatred, she has no need to offend the third wife because of a maid, she will inevitably show mercy.

Sure enough, the eldest lady yawned lazily, raised her hand and said, "Let's interrogate here today, I'm also tired, Mother Sun, tie people up first, and then interrogate them carefully tomorrow." ”

Mother Sun should be, and ordered someone to tie up Xia Xiang and escort her to the firewood room to watch.

The matter has been dealt with, the eldest lady got up, swept her eyes over the rest of the people, and said coldly, "If anyone is still unclean, the punishment will not be forgiven." ”

Haruka and the others were all trembling, and immediately hung their heads.

The eldest lady snorted, glanced at Mu Yan sideways, and symbolically comforted, "You are also frightened tonight, rest early, and ask the to come over and change your medicine tomorrow." ”

"Thank you for your concern." Mu Yan curtsied.

The eldest lady nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

As soon as the eldest lady left, Chunxiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they had to be a little more respectful to Mu Yan in their hearts.

Tonight, Mother Qin and Xia Xiang are examples.

No matter how weak Mu Yan is, she still has a marriage contract with the eldest young master of the Mu family.

Once something happens, the old lady must come forward to make decisions for Mu Yan, and everyone can see this clearly.

Mu Yan's purpose was also achieved, she sat on the couch and comforted everyone in a low voice, "You are also frightened tonight, I didn't know that there would be so many things, and I didn't know that Mother Qin would be punished by the old lady, and Xia Xiang would steal things......"

His eyes moved slightly, and he said, "...... But don't be afraid, as long as you do your duty and don't trespass, I think everyone will be safe and sound. ”

Mu Yan's words are heartwarming, but they are full of knocking.

Chunxiang and the others also weighed a little more in their hearts, and nodded respectfully one by one.
