Chapter 39: Questioning (3)
Jinlan was already drenched in cold sweat, and she couldn't speak: "Mrs. forgive your sins...... Ask your wife for forgiveness......"
"Back to the old lady," Jin Yi cut off her words, "It's not that Jin Lan deliberately concealed it, but she didn't see it at the time." ”
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Du looked at Jinyi and said angrily, "If she didn't see it, why did she stop you from talking?!" ”
Jinlan is also the second monk who is confused, full of inexplicability, and doesn't understand why Jinyi is lying.
Jinyi cheered up, and after a little thought, she replied: "At that time, Jinlan and I followed my aunt's instructions and went to the kitchen to convey the matter of preparing lotus seed cakes. When she came back to find me, Miss Cousin had been rescued and was gone. Although I told her about someone falling into the water, but because I didn't recognize the person who fell into the water at that time was Miss Cousin, so Jinlan said that since the person had been rescued, she should go and tell my aunt first, she said that we are subordinates, and we can't cross my aunt, even if we want to tell my wife, we should let my aunt tell me. In fact, Jinlan is just doing things according to the rules, and asks the old lady to forgive her. ”
Only then did Jinlan realize that Jinyi was trying to excuse herself, and the original fear of Jinyi and the mood immediately relaxed, followed by a full of gratitude to Jinyi.
Mrs. Du listened to her and couldn't find a trace of error in her words, so she had to give up for the time being, she glanced at Yang and asked, "Then after you go back, you will report this matter to your aunt, what did your aunt say?" She couldn't catch the girl's fault, so she just went up the vine and pointed the finger at their master.
As soon as Yang heard this, she secretly pinched a cold sweat, she asked Jinping to send the two girls to the kitchen, and then went to lie on the bed because she felt tired, and she didn't hear that the two girls had anything to say back and forth. But when this girl talks about this, if she doesn't repay herself, won't she immediately annoy her wife and condemn them. And if she lied to herself on the spot in order to protect herself, then her wife would inevitably say that she deliberately concealed it from her and did not report it, and if this matter was really related to Yun'er at that time, then she would not be able to tell it even if she had a long mouth, and the crime of deliberately covering up would be settled. She beat the drum in her heart, but when she saw Jinping standing behind her, she quietly squeezed her hand, she knew that Jinping was cheering her on, and turned her head and nodded slightly.
Just as everyone in the hall was waiting with bated breath for Jinyi's next words, they heard Jinyi say: "It's all the slave's fault, please ask the old lady to punish the crime!" ”
"What did you do wrong?" Master Du asked.
Jinyi said: "At that time, Jinlan had something to do, so she asked the slave to go back to Sister Jinping to return this matter to Mrs. Jinping, who knew that the slave and maid were careless for a while, and actually forgot about it, and asked the old lady to punish the crime!" ”
Yang's heart was relieved, Jinlan was even more grateful to Jinyi for her repeated protection, she not only protected herself, but also protected her master, she was really a girl who values love and righteousness, thinking of this, she has been so frightened that she forgot to shed tears, she quietly turned her head to look at Jinyi, and was moved to tears.
Mrs. Du was deflated, and it seemed that she couldn't find Yang's errand. When she thought of Du Yunhe, she was angry, she usually didn't do her job, and did everything she could not do on the table, but now it seems that it was not he who harmed Fang'er? In the past, he made small mistakes and small mistakes, even if he was to blame, this time for such a big thing, he must not be let go! I have already arranged today's situation, see if he can hide this time? So she softened the displeasure on her face, and asked Jinyi gently: "Girl, you don't know the people who attacked Miss Biao, that's no wonder." But if those people come up to you, will you recognize them? ”
Jinyi still lowered her head and said, "If you meet, the slave will recognize you." ”
"Good!" Mrs. Du ordered her to get up and said, "You can now look at the people in this hall and see if there are any people who have attacked Miss Biao." ”
Jinyi was ordered to get up, thinking about raising her eyes to face so many gazes, and her heartbeat began to accelerate again. Despite his inevitable timidity, he turned around and raised his head. She noticed that her legs trembled slightly, so she quickly adjusted her breathing, raised her eyes, and looked over one by one. There are men, women, old, young, ordinary-looking, handsome, but none of them are.
When her gaze turned from one side to the other, her heart suddenly jumped, and she met a pair of clear and calm eyes, which seemed to hide some caring colors, which were the eyes that could absorb her heart. When the four eyes met, she quickly collected her mind, lowered her eyes, and tried to pass over Du Yunke, and looked at them one by one. When he looked at the door, he saw a boy in an azure silk brocade robe and the big butler stepping into the hall door.
Jinyi blurted out: "It's him." She pointed to Du Yunhe, who was walking through the door. Everyone in the hall couldn't help but be stunned when they saw her pointing it out in person, and someone had already lowered their voices and whispered. Mrs. Du glanced at Du Yunhe with disgust, and snorted lightly in her nostrils.
Du Yunhe had already made a confession with a few henchmen for this matter, and if this matter was a big problem, he would not admit it, and when he heard the news that the old lady was going to gather people to ask questions, he was afraid that a few of the little guys would leak out, so he hid a few of the little guys too, and blocked the people who came to invite him under the pretext of a recurrence of leg disease. Unexpectedly, the old lady dispatched the big butler again, so she had to come over hard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jinyi pointing at him, and it shouldn't be a good thing to listen to her tone, so he stepped up and scolded: "What are you!" Dare to point fingers at Master Ben! I couldn't help but say it, and I pushed her hard.
The brocade clothes staggered, and the body was planted straight to the ground. With a "bang", his forehead hit the foot of the chair, and blood overflowed. Her head buzzed, and then she felt a pair of hands around her. She turned her face and saw that it was the eldest young master, and only then did she realize that she had stumbled on his seat. She was helped up by Du Yunke, her face turned red, and when she stood firmly, she hurriedly withdrew her arm. Then he turned his head to look at Du Yunhe, remembering that he called himself a young master, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, could it be that he was the son of Du Mansion? But I don't know which room it is. I've only been here for a few days, and I don't know how many concubines the master has accepted. But looking back, what if it's a young master? I didn't say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, and I don't need to be afraid of him.
Master Du saw his son's arrogance and willfulness, and scolded: "Bastard thing! Elders are sitting here, you are still so rude! ”
Seeing that his father was angry, Du Yunhe shrank his head and stepped forward to salute: "Yun'er greets the old lady." ”
"Do you know what to say?" Master Du said, "Do you still have my father in your eyes?" Send someone to call you over, and you dare not get sick? ”
Du Yunhe defended: "Dad, I really have inconvenient legs and feet, where can I not get sick?" A while ago, I injured my leg when I accompanied my mother to incense, and you don't know it. ”
Mrs. Du glanced at Du Yunhe coldly and said, "Let's not talk about the problem of legs or legs, let's first explain the matter of Fang'er falling into the water today." Now someone accuses you of attacking Fang'er, that's why she fell into the water, but that's the case? ”
