Chapter 526
Everyone looked intently, but they saw that the woman was dressed in the clothes of the people in the house, and she was not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old, her head and face were still clean, and she was neatly tied, but there was only one thing, that is, her legs and feet seemed to be a little inconvenient, and she limped when she walked, and when she was pushed forward by the messenger, she almost fell to the ground.
After standing firmly, the woman didn't dare to make a sound, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", trembling all over.
Zheng Dian still had half a minute of gentleness when he spoke to Lu Ying at this time, and a cold aura emanated, his eyes were like knives, and he slashed the woman from head to toe.
The woman seemed to feel the coldness on Zheng Dian's body, and she trembled even more, and she didn't dare to move when she fell to the ground.
"Who are you and why are you eavesdropping?" Zheng Dian asked sharply.
"Big ...... My lord, my son...... The slave just looks...... Look at ......" The woman was so frightened that she couldn't even finish her words, and her teeth trembled and rattled.
Lu Ji's face crossed a trace of fierceness, he looked at Zheng Dian with a calm face, and said in a slightly cold voice: "Lord Zheng, this woman is just a humble servant, so there is no need to ask more." If the adult is fine, please forgive me and send it not far away. ”
He directly ordered the eviction, and his attitude was also very polite. It seems that he was very dissatisfied with Zheng Dian's unwarranted interrogation of his subordinates.
Zheng Dian didn't seem to understand at all, and only looked at Lu Ji and smiled. At this time, he looked gentle and easy to speak, and his words were also very soft: "There must be a reason why this servant girl eavesdropped outside the door, and it has something to do with this case." How about I hope you can make it easier for you? ”
Lu Ji paused, and then glanced at Lu Ying again. There was a little distress in his eyes. It's just that Zheng Dian's words are polite, but the meaning of these words is not only him, but even Lu Ying can understand it.
Zheng Dian was already very concerned about the face of Xibo Mansion, and did not pull Lu Ying to Dali Temple, but asked in the mansion. Now he wants to ask one more subordinate, which is not too much of a request.
Lu Ji's face was already cold, and he turned his head to look to the side and stopped talking.
Zheng Dian answered the order, turned to the maidservant and asked, "Say, why are you eavesdropping?" What do you mean by 'look' and what are you looking at? ”
The maid was still trembling, and said in a trembling voice, "Servant...... See...... Look at the copper bottle...... I've seen ......."
Zheng Dian sat up straight suddenly. Lu Ying on the side changed slightly.
"Be clear." Zheng Dian said, his tone was very gentle, "As long as you make it clear, this official will definitely not punish you." There is also a reward. ”
And the servant girl heard this. It seems that he has plucked up courage. Everyone saw her hand clenched into a fist on the ground. And her words became a little smoother: "Back to the words of the lord,...... The servant said, the servant had seen...... That brass bottle. ”
"You've seen it?" Zheng Dian asked, "Where did you see it?" Who owns it? ”
The servant girl boldly raised her head. quickly glanced at Lu Ying and lowered her head, and said in a trembling voice: "It's Madam...... Madam...... There was ......"
Probably because she was too scared, the servant girl didn't finish her words at all. However, everyone understood what she meant.
Lu Ying's face was as white as paper in an instant, and then a layer of angry red clouds floated up.
"Bold and bold, dare to talk nonsense!" Lu Ying said sharply, and turned to Lu Ji again, with tears in her eyes, "Master, this cheap maid is full of nonsense, and the master wants to be the master of the concubine." ”
Lu Ji smiled softly at Lu Ying, and when he turned to the servant girl, his face was as cold as water: "What's your name?" Where to be on an errand? Why are you here? Why do you say that you have seen Madame have this bottle? Why don't you come one by one?! If there is a word of nonsense, drag it out and kill it immediately! ”
The servant girl fell to the ground and trembled, and her voice trembled: "Back to the words of the uncle, the servant...... The maid's name is Qiu Hong, and she was originally serving...... The one who served the eldest girl/mother/, because she broke her leg, is now ...... Now in the outer courtyard tube sprinkling sweeping. The maid took turns to clean Wen Dexuan today, and he accidentally listened to it when he was sweeping the floor...... I saw the uncle, the lady and the official. The maid used to accompany the eldest girl to the lady's courtyard to say hello, and once saw the lady have ...... The same ...... The same bottle. ”
She stammered a long sentence, and fell to the ground not even daring to lift her head. And everyone in this hall had a sudden change in their faces after listening to her words.
Lu Ying's lips were even white at the moment, but her eyes were black for a while.
It turned out to be Qiu Hong's!
She remembered that Qiu Hong broke her leg last year, and she was unable to move, so she could no longer serve Lu Yan, so Lu Ying drove her to the village to work. It's just, how did this come back? Who got her back? Isn't it her stepdaughter Lu Xuan's hands and feet?
Lu Ying's mind turned sharply, but Lu Ji's face was slightly blue at this time. There was more and more doubt in his eyes when he looked at Lu Ying.
"Madam, just now I felt that this servant girl was familiar, now that I think about it, she is indeed Qiu Hong, what she said ......"
Lu Ji didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already very obvious.
If it was a servant from the outer courtyard who said that this copper bottle was owned by Lu Ying, it would be nonsense. But Qiu Hong is Lu Ying's personal maid, and she often goes in and out of Lu Ying's yard, if she says she has seen it, it is likely to be true.
Lu Ying's back was covered in another layer of cold sweat.
She held the hand hidden in her sleeve tightly, pressed down the panic in her heart, turned to Qiu Hong and said: ", you must hate me for driving you to Zhuangzi, so you climb on me, I ......"
"Mrs. Lu," Zheng Dian suddenly opened his mouth, his tone was still very gentle, "Mrs. Lu is still angry, so let's come down and ask." ”
Lu Ying was stunned for a moment, Zheng Dian had already lowered his eyes to look at Qiu Hong, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Qiu Hong, since you said that you have seen this copper bottle, do you remember where you saw it?" ”
Qiu Hong glanced at Lu Ying timidly, and said in a trembling voice: "Slave remember...... It was in Madame's room, on the top of the Bogu shelf. ”
Her voice was still shaking violently, but what she said made Lu Ji's face change.
Lu Ying tried to stabilize her expression, and her heart became more and more flustered.
Qiu Hong actually knows about Bogujia? Could it be ......
Lu Ying's eyes widened.
Somehow, she had the feeling of falling into a trap.
Why did Qiu Hong suddenly appear? The timing is still so coincidental, just when the copper bottle hits the ground? Was this arranged?
She hurriedly turned her thoughts, but in her ears she heard that Zheng Dian was already talking to Lu Ji: "Lord Lu, since the people in your mansion have confessed that Mrs. Zun has this copper bottle, I can only do official business and search in Mrs. Zun's room." ”
Lu Ji immediately got up, and his voice was slightly angry: "You can't break it." How can a woman allow a man to trespass in his inner house? ”
Zheng Dian was not in a hurry at all, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu is not impatient, he has brought female servants below, and they will go in to search later." If Lord Lu is not at ease, he can also accompany the inspector. But there is only one case, Mrs. Lu is the defendant in this case specified by Miss Fu Si, so she can only leave Mrs. Zun here. ”
"Sir." Lu Ying called softly, her eyes were already full of tears, and she wanted to cry.
The only thing she can rely on now is Lu Ji.
Lu Ji's face was gloomy and he didn't speak. (To be continued.) )
