Chapter 517: Face to Face (Plus Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Ying Sleeve asked like this, and everyone present understood her intentions as long as they were not too stupid.
Obviously, it is necessary to divide and break each one.
As long as she proves that Zhan Suyue's four maids and daughters-in-law speak inconsistently and contradict each other, everyone will know that this incident of falling into the water is obviously deliberately done by the Zhan family, and it has nothing to do with the Xie family and Xiao Lei.
So why do you want to pull Xiaolei into the water?
Everyone in the whole Dongyuan Kingdom knew that Prince Yuan Xiaolei was going to choose a concubine, so the answer was about to come out.
As a result, the whole thing will change from the Yuan royal family "bullying the warlord too much" to the warlord's pampering and coercing the royal family to marry the family.
Even if the Yuan royal family was coerced by the Northern Qi State, it was far from being coerced by the courtiers.
Mrs. Zhan's face became paler and paler, and although she sat in the shade, beads of sweat trickled down her forehead.
The daughters-in-law of the Zhan family also began to tremble, their faces were as pale as earth, but they didn't dare to squeak before Mrs. Zhan spoke.
Ying Sleeve glanced at Mrs. Zhan, then pointed to the woman and asked, "You said that you have been following your eldest lady just now, who will testify to you?" ”
The woman turned her head hesitantly, pointed to the three maids who were standing with their backs to her, and said, "She...... They can, we're all together, and we all follow the eldest lady. ”
"Hmm." Yingsleeve nodded, and then asked: "Since you followed your eldest lady just now, why did your eldest lady walk unsteadily when she went up the steps, and none of the four of you supported your eldest lady?" ”
The woman looked up in amazement, her teeth fighting nervously. "You...... What do you say?! Our eldest lady...... How can the eldest lady walk unsteadily?! ”
"Huh? Since she didn't walk unsteadily, how could she fall into the lake? Yingsleeve frowned, "That's fine." You go down first, and I'll ask the others. - Someone, plug her ears and eyes. ”
The woman was pale, her ears and eyes were gagged, and she was dragged to the edge of the peony garden, with her back to everyone, and another maid was brought over.
He ordered the veil to be removed from her ear. Yingsleeve smiled and asked, "What do you call it?" ”
The maid hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" The slave maid Lu Xia is the personal maid of the eldest lady. ”
Yingsleeve nodded, and deliberately put her words on it: "Since you are your eldest lady's personal maid." Why don't you follow your eldest lady? ”
Lu Xia blurted out: "The eldest lady asked the slave maid to come to the peony garden to talk to the lady." ”
As soon as her words fell, everyone unanimously let out an "ah", very surprised.
The daughters-in-law of the Zhan family lowered their heads deeply, not daring to look at the faces of the people next to them.
The flesh of Madame Zhan's whole body trembled. Her face was hideous. The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he said in a deep voice: "Green Summer!" You lard your heart! What nonsense! When did the eldest lady send you to come to me?! You're obviously a slave who follows the eldest lady! ”
Lu Xia immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing, and her heart jumped heavily, thinking of the methods used by Mrs. Zhan to clean up her subordinates, her face turned purple, and she hurriedly changed her words: "No! The slave misremembered! The slave maid has always been by the side of the eldest lady! ”
"Oh?" Ying Sleeve smiled, she knew that Zhan Suyue didn't have a maid by her side at that time, it was after she fell into the water. These maids just came out, whether intentionally or unintentionally. They must be lying now, "But that Rong's mother said just now that she was the only one who followed the eldest lady, and you don't know where to go." ”
"Uh...... Rong's mother was right, at that time...... Then...... Slaves...... The slave and maid were in a hurry, so they found a convenient place. Lu Xia gritted her teeth and pulled her head out again.
Ying Sleeve picked up the teacup and took a sip, lowered his eyes and said, "Do you remember clearly?" There is nothing in the urgency, who does not have three urgency? ”
Lu Xia nodded hurriedly: "I remember clearly, the slave maid was in a hurry at that time, and she was not by the eldest lady's side." ”
"Well, it seems that Mother Rong is lying?" Yingsleeve put down the teacup, "Mother Rong actually said just now that the four of you are following the eldest lady, and said that you can testify to her." But you said that you came to the peony garden, and said that you were in a hurry to find a convenient place, in short, you were not with your eldest lady. So you and Mother Rong, either one of them is lying, or both of you are lying......"
"It's Rong's mother! Rong's mother...... There are old eyes that are dizzy and can't see clearly. Lu Xia was frightened, and she also knew that she had fallen into the trap of Fifth Lady Xie, and she had already made up her mind that no matter how much Yingsleeve asked, she would not answer.
However, Yingsleeve seemed to see through her thoughts, and didn't ask her anymore, so she ordered someone to block her ears and take her down, and continued to ask the third mother-in-law.
This mother-in-law is very smart, and when she sees this battle, and when she sees Mother Rong and Lu Xia's face like earth, she knows that Yingsleeve's question is not so easy to fool.
She fell to her knees in trepidation, her eyes rolling around.
Ying Sleeve looked at her coldly for a while, and saw that she was about to collapse on the ground, before saying, "What do you call it?" ”
"Slave maid...... The slave maid Cai Qun's ...... "The mother-in-law knelt on the ground and kept trembling, and her words were not clear."
"How do you serve your eldest lady? How can four people follow her and make her fall into the water? Yingsleeve grimaced, and the question was more majestic.
The mother-in-law was already so frightened that she had no master, and suddenly blurted out the truth: "The slave is not by the eldest lady's side!" The eldest lady sent the slave maid to the outer courtyard to talk to the master......"
"Word to the word? What is the word? Yingsleeve asked more tightly than the other, and leaned forward, her eyes were like torches, shining on the woman's fear.
The woman was cornered, and subconsciously said: "Say that our eldest lady fell into the water......"
"Huh?!" At this time, not only was there an exclamation in the peony garden, but even the group of male guests behind the curtain next to the peony garden couldn't help but scream.
This is to say that Zhan Suyue has already gone to report before she falls into the water!
Can it still be said that she fell into the water because of the little prince?
Well, so to speak......
Without Xiao Lei's choice of concubine, she would not have fallen into the water.
Ying Sleeve secretly slandered in her heart, and her eyes turned from the woman. Moved to Mrs. Zhan: "Madam Zhan, do I still want to ask?" ”
In fact, it doesn't matter if the rest of the questions are asked, her purpose has been achieved.
Zhan Su Yue. Or the Zhan family wants to create a fait accompli, so that Xiao Lei has a reason to marry her, and Yingsleeve is just planning and letting the truth be exposed in front of everyone.
Her purpose in doing this is to make the Zhan family not let the Yuan royal family carry the black pot, and let others think that they are bullying the Zhan family......
Madame Zhan's face changed a few times, and she suddenly stood up. said: "A few subordinates are talking nonsense, and they can also damage the reputation of my fighter?!" - Someone! Kill these sluts who have no master and slander the war family! ”
"Ma'am, you can't kill people. Grass and human life! Ying Sleeve smiled and slowly stood up, "You just advised me not to torture me to extract confessions, saying that your fighters never careless of human life." ”
Mrs. Zhan choked on Yingsleeve's words, and her face turned blue. She glared at Yingsleeve. I felt scared again, so I didn't overdo it, stared at the mother-in-law kneeling on the ground, and said hatefully: "Don't get out yet?!" Enough of the shame here! ”
The woman crawled away.
Mrs. Zhan took the daughters-in-law of the Zhan family to get up and said to Yingsleeve: "I have been disturbed today, I have offended a lot, please forgive me." ”
Yingsleeve bowed slightly: "It's all the slave's fault, Mrs. Zhan doesn't have to worry about it." And said: "Miss Zhan hasn't woken up yet......"
"Let's go back first. Someone will send to pick her up later. Madame Zhan blushed, turned around and left. The huge body walked in a hurry, and everyone hurriedly retreated, refusing to confront her head-on.
The Hula of the Zhan family was all gone all of a sudden, and Ying Sleeve didn't care, and greeted everyone with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's take a seat, today's dishes are good, everyone use them slowly." ”
Everyone watched a good show and was about to talk about their feelings, so as soon as Yingsleeves left, they got together in twos and threes and talked happily.
Yingsleeve took the people back to the courtyard near the Huxin Pavilion, and saw Sheng Qingdai standing at the door looking out, but did not go in.
Ying Sleeve likes this girl very much, although she is not familiar with the world, but she is really smart, knows her eyebrows, learns quickly, and has a good character, but she doesn't know if her temperament is really arrogant.
"Dai, what are you doing here?" Ying Sleeve smiled and beckoned to her, "Come and come in with me." ”
Sheng Qingdai was very happy when she saw that Ying Sleeve called her "Dai Dai", which was much more affectionate than the big girl she had called her before, and hurriedly trotted over and said, "What did Mrs. Xie tell me to do?" ”
"You come with me to see if the big girl is awake, right?" Yingsleeve took her hand and walked forward.
Sheng Qingdai choked and stood with Ying Sleeve's hand, "Mrs. Vice Prime Minister Xie, come here, I have something to tell you." ”
Ying Sleeve looked back at her, and when he saw that she was serious, he took her to the west to talk.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Mrs. Xie, that fat Mrs. Zhan was lying just now." Sheng Qingdai said solemnly, "Miss Zhan can't be her biological daughter. ”
Ying Sleeves was stunned, "How can you see it?" ”
How would Sheng Qingdai know?
Sheng Qingdai smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Yingsleeve's ear, and said: "I have learned to look at physiognomy from others, Miss Zhan's three courts and five eyes are completely different from Mrs. Zhan, as far as physiognomy is concerned, there is no mother-daughter relationship at all. ”
That's okay?!
Ying Sleeve was simply dumbfounded, she stared at Sheng Qingdai for a while, and then smiled: "Fortunately, you didn't say it just now, if this is evidence, Mrs. Zhan can slap her just now." ”
Sheng Qingdai shook her big braid nonchalantly, "She can't beat me!" Besides, Mrs. Zhan is so fat, her face turns blue when she is excited, she has high blood pressure, a bad heart, and is prone to stroke, so I am not afraid of her. ”
Ying sleeves snorted twice, looked at Sheng Qingdai again and again, and quipped: "Is it really so powerful?" Can physiognomy still see if it is biological? ”
Sheng Qingdai generously let Ying Sleeve look at it, nodded and said: "My family once had a particularly powerful physiognomy master, he can really see the relationship between father and son, mother and daughter from his face and posture, which is very effective." I learned a few hands from him, tried a few times, and still haven't made a mistake. ”
"So?" Yingsleeve's eyes rolled, "Wait a minute, you can help me see someone." Now come in with me and see if Miss Zhan is awake. ”
