Yang Shi heard Mrs. Du suddenly mention this unrelated words, he was slightly stunned, and said: "Back to Mrs., the girl left the guard courtyard, why did Mrs. suddenly ask the girl?" ”

Yang said: "I have something to ask her, you quickly ask the people in your house to come over for her." ”

Yang then sent Jinyu over, and said: "Jinhong, you also go over, that girl just came, I can't find here." Jin Hong also responded.

Master Du turned his head suspiciously and asked his wife: "Madam, what is your intention in calling a little girl over?" ”

Mrs. Du said: "Master, a girl in my house suddenly said to me at this time that she saw two girls from Qinfangyuan when Fang'er had an accident. She turned back to Jinzhu and said, "Jinzhu, you tell me about the situation again." ”

Jinzhu came out and said: "At that time, Jinyuan and I heard someone shouting for help, so we hurried over, and not far from the lotus pond, we saw two girls in my aunt's house, one Jinlan, and the other was the one that my aunt bought back. When I saw them, I asked what happened, and the girl that my aunt bought was stopped by Jinlan in the middle of her words, and the slave was puzzled at that time, but after looking around, she didn't find anything, so she let the matter go. ”

"What did that girl say at the time?" Master Du asked.

"At that time, she said, 'I saw someone take a girl...', and when she said this, she was stopped by Jinlan." Jinzhu said, "At that time, the slave maid didn't think about it, but later after learning that Miss Biao fell into the water, she thought that the girl must have seen something, so she replied to Mrs. according to the truth." ”

As soon as she said this, everyone in the hall changed color, and looking at the situation, someone really secretly harmed Miss Fang into the water. Yang's face was already shocked, Du Yunke looked at the old lady, it seemed that today's incident was prepared by the wife. Jin Lan clenched her hands even more, flustered.

Jinyu and Jinhong have returned to Qinfangyuan in a hurry, and when they explained that Jinyi would go to the main hall immediately, Jinyi was surprised, and thought about it, yes, there was a little girl named Jinzhu at that time who saw herself and Jinlan present, and she must have told the old lady. In fact, after coming back from Jinlan at that time, although Jinyi didn't think much of Jinlan's words, since he saw that the attackers still saved people in the end, it didn't seem that there was much malice, so he felt that this matter was better now than a big thing and a small matter. Unexpectedly, when I heard that the old lady suddenly wanted to see me, my heart began to feel worried. She had now learned that the person who fell into the water was Miss Biao from Du Mansion, and she heard that everyone was now gathering in the hall, saying that they wanted to find out what had happened, and it seemed that this matter was not good.

With apprehension, Jinyi followed Jinhong with lanterns and stepped on cobblestone winding paths all the way. As soon as she entered the hall, the lights were as bright as day, and she saw all kinds of unfamiliar faces, and all eyes were shooting at her, and Jinyi hurriedly lowered her eyes so that she could calm herself and calm down again. She saw that Jinlan was already kneeling in the hall, she suddenly remembered what Jinlan said to herself, saying that she was a subordinate, just to live her life safely, more things are better than less things, and if she was not careful, she knew that Jinlan had the intention to clear up this matter, since this was the case, she secretly decided, if Jinlan hadn't explained anything, why not take it herself. Thinking in her heart, she didn't dare to look at the people in the hall, lowered her eyes, looked at her nose and nose, tried her best to minimize her fear, knelt beside Jinlan and said, "The slave has seen the old lady." ”

Before Jinyi arrived, Jinlan was ordered out by Mrs. Du, and asked if what Jinzhu said was true, and whether she was suspected of deliberately concealing it at that time, Jinlan was so frightened that she didn't dare to squeak, and she was at a loss for a while. On the one hand, the second young master of his own family, and on the other hand, the lady who cherishes his wife, offends his aunt and the second young master by telling the truth, and if he doesn't tell the truth, he will anger the old lady. Now it's really two ends that are not people. She was still strong for a long time against the majesty of the old lady, and in the voice of the wife's shouting, she was already sweating on her forehead, and was about to speak, when she heard the brocade come in and knelt beside her.

"You're the girl your aunt bought new?" Mrs. Du asked.

"It's the slave." Jin Yi replied respectfully.

"You were there today when Miss Cousin had an accident?" Mrs. Du said.

Jin Yi thought about it for a while, and still said yes, after all, the Jin Zhu in Jin Lan's mouth is a human witness.

"Was it this girl who was kneeling beside you at the time?" Mrs. Du continued to ask.

"Yes." In desperation, Jinyi could only answer truthfully.

When Jinlan heard this, her eyes closed, and now she can only take one step at a time.

Mrs. Du said: "You used to say, 'I saw someone ...... a girl?' You say it again. ”

Jinyi knew that it was futile to hide it for those unknown people, not to mention that since they had made mistakes, they should also bear for their actions, so he said: "At that time, the slave saw three or four people sneakily hiding in the flowers and trees, and the slave and maid saw that they didn't look like good people, so they secretly hid to see what they wanted. Later, I saw one of them holding up a slingshot, and thought he was playing with birds, but soon I heard a cry for help from the lotus pond. ”

"So someone is going to assassinate Miss Cousin?" Mrs. Du asked, "Who are those people?" ”

Jinyi shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't recognize it." ”

When Yang heard this, she thought that if what Jinyi said was true, then it was undoubtedly her own son, she was terrified, and stepped forward and said: "Old lady, this girl has just been here for a few days, and most of the people in the house don't recognize it, so it seems that she can't ask anything." ”

When Mrs. Du saw that the Yang family was coming out, she snorted secretly in her heart, thinking that if you don't know that your own son is doing all the good things, why do you come out at this time? No wonder your precious son is sick at this time. Hmph, the thing that almost killed someone, how can it be just like that! She turned to her husband and said, "Master, since this matter almost cost Fang'er her life, don't make it hasty." I heard that the second young master brought someone to send Fang'er back today, and it was really thanks to him that he saved Fang'er's life, but since he was present at the time, the concubine thought it was necessary to let him come over and ask questions. Don't forget, sir, you promised the concubine that you must be the master for Fang'er. ”

Master Du knows that this son is a gentleman and often makes some pranks, so how can he not be aware of it at this time. Although he has never been willing to see this son, after all, he is also his own son, and he doesn't want him to show his ugliness in front of so many people. It's just that in front of so many people, the reason why his wife asked him to come over was reasonable, and he could only nod silently and agree, and said to the big butler: "It seems that the ordinary little guy can't call him, you can go for a trip, just say that if you pretend to be sick and don't come again, I will drive him out tomorrow." When he thought of this son's arbitrary behavior, he was really angry.

Seeing the chief butler go away, Mrs. Du looked at the uneasy Yang, snorted coldly in her heart, and then glared at Jinlan angrily: "At that time, you were together, she wanted to speak, why did you, a girl who doesn't know what to do, stop it?" What kind of heart do you have?! Mrs. Du's eyes radiated a cold light.
