Chapter 176: Retracting the confession in court

The eldest lady frowned: "Liu Qing, why are you?" What are you doing here so late? ”

There was a lot of coldness in the eldest lady's tone.

Liu Qing handed over a lantern from his hand: "The slave will send a lantern to the eldest lady." ”

"No need," the eldest lady did not want to appreciate, "the moonlight is very clear tonight, why do you need a lantern?" ”

Liu Qing retracted his hand, blew out the lantern in his hand, and sneered: "Has the eldest lady always handled things like this?" With the moonlight, forget that when the darkness has the lantern illuminated the way for you and brought light? ”

When the eldest lady heard what Liu Qing said, she said unhappily: "You deliberately stopped me in the middle of the night in the middle of the night, so what's the matter?" ”

"The slave just wants to ask the eldest lady to let the slave's daughter Xiangxiu go for the sake of the past friendship," Liu Qing said and knelt down in front of the eldest lady, "Please raise your noble hand and let Xiangxiu go." ”

The eldest lady suddenly remembered the father-daughter relationship between Liu Xiangxiu and Liu Qing, and said with disgust: "Your daughter is uneducated, has a cheap mouth, and slanders the reputation of the eldest lady, how can I spare her?" ”

Liu Qingyi: "Big lady, there is really no room for maneuver?" ”

"Your daughter not only spread rumors to frame the eldest lady Qingyu, but also framed the second lady, my two daughters are burdened by your daughter, Liu Qing, how do you want me to spare her?" When the eldest lady thought of Liu Xiangxiu's trouble, her mood was extremely depressed.

Liu Xiangxiu caused Nianxi to lose face among the princes, her reputation was damaged, her marriage was blocked, and she provoked An Nianzao to quarrel with her, Liu Qing still had the face to beg her to let her daughter go?

This father and daughter are really thicker than the other.

"Big lady, the slave asks you again. Xiangxiu's matter, is the eldest lady willing to raise her noble hand and let Xiangxiu go? Just look at past friendships. Liu Qing's voice was impatient.

"What is your identity as a subordinate to talk to me?" The eldest lady straightened her back.

Liu Qing stood up from the ground, completely coldly voiced, and said, "Don't talk about friendship, what about conditions?" ”

The eldest lady frowned: "Liu Qing, what do you mean?" ”

"The eldest lady and noble person forgets things, do you want the slave to help you recall your memories?"

"Memories of what?" 大太太》-dǐng》-diǎn》-小》-said,.↙.≥os_(); I feel a little numb in my scalp.

"Ten years ago, the eldest lord had a beloved maid named Sister Qiao'er, how did she die. Has the eldest lady forgotten all about the passage of time? ”

"Didn't she commit suicide? Liu Qing: What do you want to do? The eldest lady became angry.

"The government is to identify Sister Qiao'er as a suicide. I won't investigate the reason for Sister Qiao'er's suicide, but the eldest master may not want to pursue it! Over the years, the eldest lady has been polite and cold to the eldest wife, has the eldest lady not thought about the reason? ”

The eldest lady's hands and feet are cold. She said, "What do you want?" ”

Liu Qing is tolerant of color. Said coldly: "The minion's request is very simple. As long as the eldest lady spares my daughter, if not, I will definitely go to the eldest master. At that time, the rumors spread by the entire Guogong Mansion will not be just the eldest lady, but the eldest lady! ”

The eldest lady was shocked, but Liu Qing stopped talking to the eldest lady and left.

The eldest lady's hands gradually clenched into fists, and her whole body trembled.

The next day, An Nianzao went to Jiahe Yuan without being summoned by the old lady, crying and saying to the old lady: "It's unfortunate enough for the big sister to break her ribs, who is so ruthless and orchestrates such a rumor to hurt the big sister, it's really dampening!" ”

The old lady looked at An Nian's snot and tears, and said, "The girl you brought back from the countryside pointed out that you instructed her to talk nonsense in the next world." ”

An Nianxiu immediately denied it, and took Liu Xiangxiu and herself: "Impossible, Xiangxiu is honest and kind, she will never say such a thing to frame me, I don't believe it." ”

The old lady immediately asked Liu Xiangxiu to be brought up from the firewood room to confront An Nianzhuo, but Liu Xiangxiu also retracted her confession in court.

She kowtowed to the old lady and cried: "This matter really has nothing to do with the slave and the second miss, and the slave and the second miss are wronged." ”

The old lady said angrily: "Then why did you accuse the second lady of instructing you yesterday?" ”

Liu Xiangxiu cried: "The slave maid was just frightened by the threat of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady said that she couldn't find the culprit, and the old lady wanted to settle accounts with her, so she could only let the slave and maid admit the matter and be a substitute for the dead." ”

The old lady slapped the table and said angrily, "Is there such a thing?" ”

The eldest lady was invited to Jiahe Garden, and she almost fainted after listening to the old lady's questioning. But thinking of Liu Qing's threat last night, it was not good to embarrass Liu Xiangxiu again, so he could only suffer a dumb loss.

"This matter is indeed that the daughter-in-law is confused, and the daughter-in-law is also fainting because Nianxi was hurt." The eldest lady explained.

The old lady said coldly: "Are you afraid that you won't be able to explain to me?" If you want to explain to me, you have to come up with real evidence, find a girl to be a substitute for the dead ghost, thinking that you can get away with it? So you just blindfold me when you do things? I think you have been in charge of the house for all these years, how many things have you hidden from my eyes? ”

The eldest lady was stunned by the old lady's training, full of grievances but had nowhere to argue, but said: "But Nianxi has been hurt so much......

An Nian smiled and groaned: "Mother is not confused. ”

The eldest lady looked at An Nianzhu in confusion, and An Nianzhu said: "Since it is a rumor, it is self-defeating, Hengzhu's mother came to ask her daughter and knew that her daughter and Xiangxiu always accompanied the eldest sister in the countryside to recuperate from her injuries, and she knew best who cured the eldest sister's injury, and the eldest sister's rib injury was cured by the eldest sister-in-law. ”

An Nianzhu gave Liu Xiangxiu a look, Liu Xiangxiu immediately understood, and hurriedly added: "There are no village elders in our hometown village who can connect with bones at all, so the slave maid really doesn't know where this rumor starts." ”

The eldest lady was annoyed: "Why didn't you say that that day? ”

"My mother didn't come to ask me!" An Nian was playing tricks, and the old lady fainted at that time, not knowing the truth of the matter.

Liu Xiangxiu said: "The eldest lady did not give the slave and maid a chance to defend herself at that time, but only asked the slave and the maid to admit to the old lady that the rumor was spread from the slave and maid, and the slave and maid were afraid of the eldest lady's punishment, so the slave and maid had to lie to the old lady and ask the old lady to be guilty.

When the old lady heard that An Nianxi's ribs were connected by Hua Wanwan, the haze in her heart had long been removed, and she was relieved, and she also had a smile on her face: "Now that the truth of the matter has been revealed, just gather all the subordinates and let Nianxi and Xiangxiu testify." ”

The old lady thought that the subordinates in the mansion were okay to say, but the key was the misunderstanding of the princes.

An Niansheng said: "The fourth prince is present and knows what happened, so he naturally won't misunderstand the eldest sister, as for the third prince, let the eldest sister-in-law make a special trip to him to explain it another day?" ”

The old lady smiled and looked at An Nianzhu with appreciation: "Our second lady has lived in Liu Qing's hometown for a while and came back, it is really different." ”

"Don't be impressed for three days, old lady." On the side, Luo's mother said with a smile.

How could An Nianzhuo have been so praised by the old lady? I have long been in a mood, and I am even more sweet and sweet, thinking: I have lost the mention of Hua Wan. (To be continued.) )
