Chapter 527 (Spring Festival Plus 4)
Zheng Dian glanced at Lu Ji and said with a light smile: "Lord Lu, you and I are both officials in the court, and Lord Wanwang should not be embarrassed." If you are not allowed to search the house, you can only ask Mrs. Zun to go to Dali Temple. The old feudal monarch of your mansion has only been instructed by thousands of people, but he does not want to respect his wife to go to Dali Temple. For the sake of the elderly, Lord Lu should think twice. ”
As soon as Lu Ji heard this, his expression changed a little, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of entanglement.
After a while, he sighed and said softly to Lu Ying: "You don't sit here, I will follow, and I will not ask them to mess around with your things." ”
"Master......" Lu Ying wanted to say something more, but Lu Ji patted her hand and shook his head at her.
Lu Ying's heart was slightly cold.
Yes, his husband is good in everything, and he is the most filial to his mother. Because of this, if something happens in the mansion, his husband will definitely do his best to the old lady first, and then he will take care of her as a lady.
Lu Ying suddenly felt extremely tired.
She closed her mouth with a pale face and never spoke again.
Zheng Dian asked Qiu Hong again: "Qiu Hong, are you sure you saw this bottle on the Bogu shelf in the lady's room?" ”
Qiu Hong trembled and nodded.
Zheng Dian turned to the door and said, "The female servant comes in." ”
As he spoke, two middle-aged women in blue narrow-sleeved bearded clothes walked in from outside the door. The two of them were not dressed like ordinary servants, but they did not look like servants, and there were no patches on the front of their blouses.
This is a special female service in Dali Temple, which is specially prepared for the families of officials who have committed crimes or need to be questioned. Although these offenders suffered for a while. But it may not be impossible to turn over forever. Dali Temple is usually very polite to them, and it is also very considerate of their faces.
After the two female servants entered the door, they blessed Zheng Dian, and Zheng Dian instructed them: "You will go to Mrs. Lu's room in a while, and you are only allowed to search the ancient frame, and nothing is allowed to move." ”
The two female servants bowed down.
When Lu Ji heard this, his expression softened significantly. He bowed his head to Zheng Dian and said, "Thank you, Lord Zheng." ”
Zheng Dian waved his hand and said: "In the next official business, many offenses are still looking at Lord Lu Haihan." ”
Lu Ji finally had a smile on his face, and he seemed very satisfied with Zheng Dian's knowledge.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ying's face became more and more pale.
She was accompanied by Lu Ji and walked in a hurry. I didn't bring a single maid with me. Now even if you want to get someone to pass on the word, you can't get in.
Now she is really helpless.
The only thing she was glad about now was that it wasn't in the jar anymore.
Lu Ying picked up the tea cup on the table.
Somehow, she always felt that the copper bottle had been deliberately hidden. She even vaguely hoped. It was Lu Ji who hid the things. Except for him. Who else will have the opportunity to do so?
was in Lu Ying's heart. The room full of people withdrew.
Lu Ji took the two female servants away, Qiu Hong was also taken down by the servants, but Zheng Dian was to avoid the suspicion of men and women. He went outside and stood under the porch. When he went out, he was kind enough to close the door.
The surrounding light dimmed.
Lu Ying sat alone in the room, her heart felt like hot oil had been poured on her, so hot that she couldn't sit still, and she couldn't wait to step back into her room.
It's just that although she is anxious, she can only forcibly hold on. Zheng Dian and they are outside the house, who knows if they will peek? She has all kinds of anxiety, and she has to behave as usual.
Lu Ying had never felt that time was so difficult.
After touching the tea, Zheng Dian's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Lord Lu is back." ”
Then there was a jumble of footsteps, and the door was pushed open, and a bright light rushed into the room, illuminating the brick floor.
Lu Ying couldn't help but cover her eyes with her sleeves, however, the next moment, she suddenly felt that her eyes were dark again.
She lowered her sleeves, but saw that the door of the house had been closed again, Lu Ji and Zheng Dian were standing by the door, both of them had heavy expressions, especially Lu Ji, at this time he looked at Lu Ying's eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.
Lu Ying's heart began to sink little by little.
"Madame can tell your husband, what is this?" Lu Ji's voice was very hoarse, and there was a trace of indescribable bitterness in his expression. As he spoke, he held up something in his hand.
Lu Ying's eyes suddenly focused on Lu Ji's hand.
In his hand, he was holding a copper bottle.
The bottle was almost exactly the same as the one Zheng Dian had taken out before, the only difference was that this bottle was newer, and the gold-painted pattern on the bottle was a blooming peony.
It was the one Lu Ying lost!
Lu Ying stood up suddenly.
How is this possible?
This was Lu Ying's first thought.
However, as soon as this thought came to mind, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in her heart.
The fact that there is no copper bottle hidden in the earthen jar does not mean that there is no place next to it. She had only had time to look for it in the Tuding Jar and the Jardine Box, but she had forgotten to search the Bogu Shelf.
At this time, Zheng Dian took out the bottle in his hand and compared it with the copper bottle in Lu Ji's hand for a slight comparison, and then put the straight side of the two bottles together. The two bottles immediately merged into one, and the mouth of the bottle was formed into a complete cloud shape.
Zheng Dian nodded and said with a smile: "This is a pair of bead bottles, this one in Mrs. Lu's hand and this one in her hand are exactly the same pair." ”
Lu Ji didn't seem to hear Zheng Dian's words, he just looked at Lu Ying fixedly, with an unpredictable expression.
"Master, someone must have framed the concubine." Lu Ying's eyes turned red again, and her voice was particularly poignant, "This is not a concubine's body, someone put it in the concubine's room to frame the concubine's body." Master, you have to believe in the concubine. ”
"Madame said that someone framed you, but I don't know who Madame said?" Lu Ji's voice was still hoarse.
Lu Ying hung her head and sobbed softly, desperately turning her mind, and suddenly a thought rose in her mind: "It's Qiu Hong." She raised her head suddenly, her eyes burning, "It must be Qiu Hong's." She said all this, and she must have hidden things in the concubine's room beforehand. ”
"It's only been three days since Qiu Hong returned home." Lu Ji's expression became more and more obscure, and even his voice became a little blurred, "I just asked someone to check, because there is a lack of people in the outer courtyard to sweep, three days ago, the eldest sister-in-law called a group of people from Zhuangzi to come in, and Qiu Hong was among them." ”
Lu Ying lowered her head again, hiding a smile from her eyes. When she looked up, two lines of tears had already slipped down her face, and her expression became more and more sad: "Master, although Qiu Hongren has only been back for three days, if there is someone from the inner house to do the internal response, she is not unable to do this." ”
"Mrs. Lu, insert/say a word." Zheng Dian said, "What Mrs. Lu means is that Qiu Hong has long known that Miss Fu Si will avenge her deceased mother, and she has long known that the person she accused is Mrs. Lu, and it is certain that there will be a girl named Yingxiang who confesses this bottle, and she knew that she would bring this bottle to your mansion for verification." So she found Neiying to hide things in Mrs. Lu's room in advance, and returned to the house three days in advance to testify against Mrs. Lu on the spot and frame you. Is that what Mrs. Lu meant?
