Chapter 018: The Unexpected
With Lan's understanding of Ling Yi, she reprimanded like this, Ling Yi must be so frightened that she will invite them all.
It's just that what has happened lately seems a little out of the ordinary.
Lan knows countless people, she has watched Ling Yi grow up since she was a child, she is a smart child, but her temperament is soft and cowardly, and she is more harmless to people, and she is a person who can see the bottom of her heart at a glance.
But now she didn't understand a little, she didn't understand what Ling Yi was thinking.
Or I understand, I just don't believe it.
Ling Yi didn't have the slightest look of fear on his face, but said calmly: "Grandson only told the truth, not the superfluous, why don't grandmothers go and see it in person, maybe there is something hidden that even I don't know." ”
Lan was still considering how much truth there was in her words, and the girl spread the chrysanthemum picking in Qinxin Garden.
Lan knew that the Zou family had arrested the Hu family and went to Qinxin Garden, and at this time she sent someone over, so she got up and said: "Since this is the case, then go and see, if I find out who deliberately made a moth, I will not be soft-hearted." ”
Cheng helped Lan to walk out, while Ling Yi and Zhi Yu followed.
Weaving Fan and Weaving Feather almost never appear in the same place at the same time, so when they saw Weaving Feather and Ling Yi arriving at Qinxin Garden, Weaving Fan, who was hiding in the shadows, took the opportunity to tell Ling Yi about the situation of the Hu family, and quietly retreated.
The Hu family made Ling Yi completely relieved, she took Zhi Yu and followed the Lan family into the hall, and the Zou family was already waiting at the door to greet her.
"Old lady----" Zou saluted and welcomed Lan to his seat.
Ling Yi saluted Zou according to the courtesy before sitting down at the bottom.
Everyone knew what had happened, and there was no need to repeat it, so Lan asked bluntly: "I heard that a witness has been found." ”
Zou gestured to Cai Ju to bring the coachman up, and replied: "This is a trivial matter, the concubine didn't want to disturb the old lady, but the subordinates didn't listen to the order, and the matter was reported to the old lady, and the concubine was really helpless to ask the old lady to come over and preside over it in person." ”
Lan Shi hummed lightly, the coachman had already been brought up, her eyes were sharp, she stared at the man and asked, "Who are you?" And what do you know? ”
The coachman was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Zou looked anxious, "The old lady is the most merciful, you can say whatever you know, tell the truth, if you dare to hide half a sentence, you have to be careful of your head." ”
The coachman trembled, and finally whispered, "The little --- is the coachman who sent the woman back to Ling's mansion." ”
"About the things in the car, if you know something, just say it, everything is up to the old lady, don't be afraid." Zou gently encouraged.
The coachman sighed, "There are more than ten bags of flower seeds in the car, which were given to Miss Ling Mansion by Yin Zifang." ”
Zou frowned slightly: "Who sent it?" ”
"Yin Zifang." The coachman replied again: "The little one has been guarding the door of the store, and I saw with my own eyes that the guys from Yin Zifang carried more than ten bags of flower seeds onto the carriage. ”
He only had Yin Zifang in his mouth, but there was no one else, Zou thought he had forgotten, and deliberately reminded: "It's right that the flower seeds are from Yin Zifang, and the person who can send them is not the shopkeeper of Yin Zifang." ”
She locked the coachman tightly, her eyes were cold, as if the latter would be killed if he made a mistake in saying one more word.
Ling Yi chuckled: "Auntie, why mislead him, he has already made it very clear, the flower seed was sent by Yin Zifang, and the shopkeeper also wants to sell our Ling Mansion a face, more than ten bags of flower seeds, dozens of taels of silver have not been collected." ”
Zou's face sank, and he immediately returned to normal, and said with a smile: "I just said that this matter was a misunderstanding, we all see the well-behaved life in our eyes, how could she do something that disgraces our Ling Mansion, Cai Ju ---"
She looked at Cai Ju gloomily.
Cai Ju was puzzled in her heart, staring at the coachman and staring at the eyeballs.
As soon as she heard Zou call herself, she knelt on the ground with a bang, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The old lady atoned for her sins, the maid just listened to the rumors outside, and was afraid that this matter would have a bad impact on the reputation of the eldest lady, so she brought the coachman to ask about the situation. ”
The anger on Zou's face eased a little, and he sighed and reproached: "It's too reckless, if I hadn't blocked the mouths of my subordinates, these rumors would have spread out long ago, and if it's not true, it will become true, and it won't be a pity for you to die a hundred times, so don't hurry up and admit your mistake to the eldest lady." ”
Cai Ju climbed to Ling Yi in a panic, and kept kowtowing: "The eldest lady atones for her sins, the maid knows that she is wrong, the maid should not listen to the rumors, the maid deserves to die, please forgive the maid this time." ”
She slapped several loud slaps on her face, and suddenly blushed with two palm prints, which showed the great strength.
Ling Yi looked at Cai Ju at her feet silently, and she seemed to be smiling but not smiling, so that people couldn't really see it.
If she didn't stop, Cai Ju couldn't take the initiative to stop, seeing that there were more and more red marks on her face, and finally even the corners of her mouth were bleeding.
"Alright." Lan finally shouted to stop.
Cai Ju was relieved, her face became more and more remorseful and self-reproachful, and she kowtowed to the Lan family and thanked her: "Thank you Mrs. Lao, the maid will never dare to do it in the future." ”
Ling Yi's eyes moved, is this enough?
slandered her reputation, she wanted to let Cai Ju slap a few more times, but was stopped by the Lan family, and she was a little unhappy in her heart.
In this world, some people can be provoked, but some people can't, otherwise the price cannot be offset by a word of sorry and admitting mistakes.
Ling Yi smiled innocently: "Grandmother, forget about this matter, she is also unintentional, even if outsiders spread bad things about me, it is only temporary, in the end I am still the daughter of the Ling family, who will really have trouble with the Ling Mansion, even if I want to say it, I only dare to say it behind my back, I didn't hear it." ”
said that he forgave and didn't care, but every word was stained with thorns, and he listened to the panic in Zou's ears.
Lan looked at Ling Yi with a little more scrutiny.
If before, this matter only revolved around the inner house, Ling Yi might have been subject to family law for misconduct, but it was only a matter of the inner house.
But now, she has cleverly raised her personal honor to family honor, in other words, she Ling Yi represents the Ling Mansion, and she has been criticized by others, that is, the Ling Mansion has been criticized by others.
The old lady of the Ling family died at an early age, and the Lan family alone raised several sons, which has to be said to be difficult for a widow, not to mention keeping such a big property as the Ling family.
The Ling clan had become something in the Lan clan's bones, and she would never allow anyone to threaten the Ling clan's honor.
For this incident, the Lan family actually knew it in his heart.
She didn't care if those flower seeds were given to Ling Yi by someone or not, as long as they didn't cause any impact on the surface, she wouldn't get to the bottom of it.
Zou's mistake is to dig the root and get to the bottom of it, and he also has the wrong root.
After Ling Yi finished speaking, she obviously saw the corners of Zou's mouth twitching, and her expression became more and more innocent, and she looked like a victim who was kind and generous.
Cai Ju's hands trembled so badly that she suppressed her breathing and waited for the hair on it to fall.
