Only then did the three of them know that they were in trouble, and hurriedly knelt down to defend: "The slave doesn't know what mistake she made to provoke the second lady to be so angry?"

The second lady sneered: "Don't you know? If people don't know what to do unless they do it, don't you know that there is no impermeable wall in the world when you orchestrate the rights and wrongs of your master behind your back? I think you are connived at by the Seventh Lady to the point of lawlessness, or are there people behind your back? Since you can be so unscrupulous, you may also be tacitly allowed to do it. ”

"Second lady, please allow me to say a word, the people of Qiushui Garden have always been self-denying and courteous, but I have never heard of the right and wrong behind this. Mo Ziyu said.

"Self-denial and etiquette?" the second lady smiled sarcastically, "That Qian'er who was just killed is also a person who keeps etiquette? If the seventh lady doesn't know what courtesy, righteousness and honesty are, I can teach you! I heard that you are studying with the famous Mr. Li, if you have the opportunity to meet Mr. Li, I would like to ask, what does he teach, so that you can't even tell how much right and wrong you have!"

"It's true that I don't investigate Qian'er's matter, but this doesn't mean that everyone in Qiushui Garden has problems. Mo Ziyu was silent for a moment and said, "The second lady said that they were arranging the rights and wrongs of the master behind their backs, which master was it, what did they say, and who can testify?"

The second lady glanced at Xia Zhu.

Xia Zhu took a step and stood in the middle, his hands hanging in front of him, hesitated slightly, and said, "It's that the three of them often get together and say bad things about the second lady." ”

"When did the three of them say it, where did they say it, and what did they say?" Mo Ziyu asked.

"Where do I remember this clearly...... Xia Zhu said hesitantly, "They only say a few words occasionally, I can't say when the specific time, after all, it is in Qiushui Garden, the content is nothing more than that the second lady covets the position of the princess, and the second lady has a malicious mind and something like that." ”

"You're talking nonsense!" Cui Lian scolded directly, "When have I ever scolded the second lady?

The other two also explained: "The slaves and maids have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they don't dare to say that the second lady is not! The slave and maid dare to swear to the sky, what Xia Zhu said is not the truth, if the slave and maid have scolded the master behind their backs, the slave and maid are willing to thunder and thunder in the sky and go to the eighteen layers of hell!"

Cui Curtain also hurriedly said: "I am also willing to swear, if I have scolded the second lady, I will not die well! Xia Zhu, do you dare to swear by swearing, if you are spreading rumors and framing us, you will not die well!"

Xia Zhu was choked, peeked at the second lady's face, gritted his teeth and cursed: "If I have a word to say a lie, I will not die well!"

"This is the palace, not the countryside, so you village women can't do it!" The second lady shouted coldly, "Seventh lady, the mouth of the people in your Qiushui Garden is very tight, and I don't know if my mouth is still so tight!"

"Second lady, there is indeed something strange about this matter. Mo Ziyu glanced at Xia Zhu, "If you often hear them say bad things about the second lady behind your back, why didn't you say it when you first heard it?"

"At that time, I thought that they were just quick to talk and have no malice, so I didn't go to my heart, how did I know that they would often say it later, and I couldn't tolerate it!" Xia Zhu buttoned his sleeves, "Although I am a person from Qiushui Garden now, the second lady has always been the heroine of the palace, I can't hear it when I don't hear anything." ”

"Since you have heard them say bad things about the second lady many times, presumably they often say it, why are you the only one who hears it? You are the person who was rewarded by the second lady, it stands to reason that they should close you behind the second lady's arrangement, since even you have heard it many times, there is no reason for other people not to know?"

Mo Ziyu continued towards the second lady's blessing body: "What Xia Zhu said has a lot of loopholes, I hope that the second lady will be aware of it, so I can ask the other people in Qiushui Yuan if they have heard about it." ”

"They are your people, so they will naturally protect each other. Xia Zhu muttered.

Mo Ziyu glanced at Xia Yue and asked, "Xia Yue, you came to Qiushui Garden at the same time as Xia Zhu, did you hear that?"

Xia Yue's face was also very embarrassed, Xia Zhu hadn't discussed this matter with her before she did it, but now, she had no other choice, just stubbornly said, "I've heard it." ”

"Where and what are you talking about?"

"That's what Xia Zhu just said. ”

"Second lady. Mo Ziyu continued, "If you can't trust the original people from Qiushui Garden, you might as well ask Juan'er Yun'er Cuckoo and Bailing, they are people from the courtyard of the princess and the third lady, and they must also be people who know how to distinguish between right and wrong." ”

The four of them were called in for questioning, and they all said that they had never heard anyone in Qiushui Yuan speak ill of the second lady.

"They...... This must be them teaming up to bully me!" Xia Zhu hurriedly said, "Second Madam, you must believe in the slave!"

"Xia Zhu!" Mo Ziyu raised his voice, "I read that you are the person sent by the second lady, and you have been tolerated many times on weekdays, but now you have to make an inch and start a trick to frame people! They bully you? It's like treating yourself as half a master, as if that's the case, I still tolerate you, yesterday you had a verbal quarrel with Qian'er and then beat each other, the nature is too bad, Qingling just fined you a month's money, you hold a grudge for this, and you don't hesitate to play right and wrong in front of the second lady and frame innocent people, where is your conscience?"

She sneered again and again, and continued to ask: "You just said those words that scolded the second lady, you must have been brewing in your stomach for a long time, if you don't have any thoughts about the second lady in your heart, those words will not be made up!"

"I ...... I didn't ......" Xia Zhu's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down and waved his hand to deny.

"Second lady. Mo Ziyu turned his head and softened his tone, "More than a dozen people up and down Qiushui Yuan can testify for the three of them, does the second lady only believe Xia Zhu's words, not to mention that there are many inconsistencies and differences! The second lady is the smartest person in the palace, and she must not be used by this cheap maid to become a tool for her to take revenge on Qiushui Garden!"

The second lady's face was gloomy, and she glanced at Xia Zhu sharply, she had doubts about what Xia Zhu said, but at that time, she was angry, and she wanted to take this opportunity to clean up Mo Ziyu, but she didn't expect that Xia Zhu was such a useless thing, but it made it difficult for her to ride a tiger.

If you continue to investigate, this matter without evidence is easy to fall into the mouth, and it will make people feel that they are being used by this, if you stop here, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
