Ming Chong glanced at it, looked at Xiao Lu for a while, and saw Xiao Lu nodding slightly, so he said affirmatively: "Yes, this is it!" ”

"Are you sure?" Gu Qingwan asked solemnly.

Ming Chong nodded resolutely and said, "The slave must be this piece, it was given to me by Xiao Lu himself, and I still remember the pattern on it, it is this kind of flower!" ”

Gu Tianyou looked at Gu Qingwan inexplicably and asked, "What are you doing?" Is this cloth that important? Don't be pretentious, do you still want to deny it? ”

"Second uncle, I don't want to deny it, I just want to prove it to Zhao'er and myself, we have never instructed Xiaolu to frame the third brother!" Gu Qingwan spoke righteously, ignoring Gu Tianyou's questioning and anger at all.

Gu Tianyou was pushed up, and he also felt that he was a little wrong, so he could only snort coldly: "I'll see what you can toss!" ”

The Lu family didn't care, it was just a piece of cloth, could Gu Qingwan still prove that the cloth was her own? But when she looked at the cloth again, her eyes showed panic.

Gu Qingwan smiled at her, as if confirming Lu's thoughts, and said, "This is what I picked up by accident, maybe it was lost by Ming Chong, but grandmother, please take a closer look at this cloth, does it feel familiar?" ”

Gu Qingwan presented the cloth to Mrs. Gu and asked her to identify it, Mrs. Gu looked at the cloth, and she couldn't figure it out for a while, or Grandma Sun's eyes were sharp, and she immediately shouted: "Isn't this the cloth that the second master brought back last time?" The slave still remembers that it was a festival gift issued by the Ministry of Rites, and there were only two horses, and one was given to the old lady at that time, and the old lady has not used it yet, and has been placed in the library! ”

In this way, Mrs. Gu and Gu Tianyou also remembered that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was such a piece of cloth in the festival ceremony issued by the Ministry of Rites, although the material was not top-notch, but only a few officials with excellent annual evaluations got it, which was also a reward, so Gu Tianyou still happily sent it to the old lady at that time.

Gu Tianyou asked suspiciously, "So what?" ”

"Second uncle, didn't you only get two horses? One for the grandmother, and the other for the grandmother, to whom did you give it? Gu Qingwan asked slowly, as if guiding Gu Tianyou to recall.

Gu Tianyou sighed in his heart, subconsciously glanced at the Lu family, and asked, "There is another horse, isn't it in your place?" ”

Gu Tianyou had probably guessed that everything was arranged by the Lu family, and even he was deceived. But things have come to this point, and he can only continue to pretend that he doesn't know anything.

"Yes...... It's here in the concubine's body, but ...... But ......" Lu panicked for a while, and couldn't find any reason to shirk it, after all, she had already used this cloth, and she still made clothes for herself, and this scrap was not used at that time, so she threw it in the cloth basket at random, and when she was wrapping the book, she didn't care, so she handed it to Xiao Lu.

Old Madam Gu's eyes looked at the Lu family sharply, and she had already seen the matter in her heart, but she didn't expect that it was Lu's trick in the end, she once thought that it was really Gu Qingwan who started from behind and wanted to frame Gu Qing'an!

Gu Tianyou didn't want the Lu family to be exposed, so he reminded: "Did you give this cloth to others?" Or did someone steal the cloth while you weren't looking? ”

When Lu Shi heard this, he immediately said: "Yes, I like that cloth very much, so I ordered the sewing room to cut it and make a dress, and I haven't had time to wear it, and the leftover scraps, the concubine doesn't know where it went!" ”

Gu Qingwan had expected that Gu Tianyou would be biased towards the Lu family, so she continued: "Grandma Sun, if you smell the smell of this cloth again, is there anything special?" ”

When Grandma Sun heard this, she picked up the cloth, got closer and sniffed it carefully, and said: "There seems to be a smell of rose dew on this cloth, it's really strange, how can the people in the sewing room afford to use the rose dew, and the fragrance of this rose dew is not so long-lasting, it should be dispersed in two or three days!" ”

Gu Qingwan smiled, and then said: "As Grandma Sun said, if this cloth has not been exposed to rose dew for a few days, there will definitely not be any fragrance left, and as far as I know, the only people in the house who use rose dew are the second aunt and Yue'er's sister, Yue'er is now sick in bed, who owns this cloth, I don't need to say, right?" ”

Lu Shi looked at Gu Qingwan, and his heart was full of hatred, and he wanted to step forward and smash her face, but she couldn't. And the eyes of the whole room were focused on Lu's body, with suspicion, disdain, sarcasm, and schadenfreude.

Lu Shi took a deep breath and shouted, "Mama Zhang, tell me, what the hell is going on?" Why do the broken steps in my room fall out? ”

Mama Zhang swallowed her saliva, she didn't expect the second lady to push herself out at such a time, she naturally couldn't be a scapegoat, so she quickly knelt down and said tremblingly: "The needlework has always been taken care of by Yingqiu, and the slave really doesn't know!" ”

Yingqiu saw that the matter had fallen on her head, and she hurriedly knelt down and defended: "The slave doesn't know, how can this cloth flow out, maybe, maybe someone deliberately stole it!" ”

Gu Qingwan shook her head, looked at a few people funny, and said, "Zhao'er and I have the intention to harm the third brother, and we have to bother to go to our mother's room to steal a rag, are we all stupid?" ”

Not only Gu Qingwan and Gu Qingzhao are not fools, but everyone here is not stupid, not waiting for others to speak, the eldest lady, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, her face was very ugly, and said coldly: "Wan'er and Zhao'er won't be so stupid if they think about it, just take an ordinary piece of cloth, go to the younger siblings' room to steal the cloth, if someone finds out, isn't it to arouse suspicion?" Now that it's so obvious, I hope that the second master will deal with it impartially if he remembers what he said. If you wronged my Wan'er and Zhao'er in vain, my big house is not easy to bully! ”

The words of the eldest lady made Gu Tianyou have no excuse to continue to be partial.

Seeing this, Lu Shi had an idea, looked at Xiao Lu, and asked, "Are you sure it's this cloth, you can see it clearly, is it?" ”

Seeing Lu's eyes, Xiao Lu hesitated, as if he couldn't remember clearly, thought about it carefully, and said: "No, it shouldn't be, it's a little similar to this cloth, but it's definitely not this cloth, it must be Ming Chong's mistake!" ”

Ming Chong also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, it's the slave who remembers it wrongly, it doesn't seem to be this cloth, it's just a little like!" ”

Gu Qingwan smiled secretly, and now she unanimously overturned the previous confession, it was a little late, so she said: "Look more carefully, I just put the cloth in front of you for a long time, and you still swear that it is this cloth, are you sure you have really read a book wrapped in cloth?" ”

Ming Chong was a little frightened by Gu Qingwan's aggressive eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stammered, "Yes...... Be...... The minion didn't see it clearly just now, and the minion misremembered......"

"Wan'er, why are you persecuting Ming Chong and Xiao Lu so much, it's just a piece of cloth, they are also wrong, do you have to put the blame on the second aunt to be happy?" Lu asked in a raised voice, obviously dissatisfied with Gu Qingwan's behavior.

Gu Tianyou was already partial to the Lu family, and he couldn't bear to let her be wronged, so he said: "Your second aunt is right, why be aggressive for a piece of cloth!" ”

Gu Qingwan nodded indifferently and said approvingly: "Since the second uncle said so, Wan'er has nothing to say, but I still have something to ask Ming Chong!" ”

Gu Tianyou knew that he was a little wrong, so he retreated curtly, waiting for Gu Qingwan to speak, he also wanted to know what was hidden in this matter.

Gu Qingwan looked at Ming Chong and asked, "Since you have opened the cloth, you must have seen the book, right?" ”

"The slave only glanced at the cover cursoryly, but did not open the book, so it was not considered to be a read, because he was nervous, so he hurriedly stuffed the book into the third young master's book bag!" Ming Chong learned to be smart this time, and deliberately said this, for fear that he would fall into Gu Qingwan's way again.

Gu Qingwan nodded, with a little praise for Ming Chong in her eyes, and then said, "Is there anything special about that cover?" For example, what is the picture, whether the book is new or old, this should be able to tell, right? ”

Because Ming Chong really hadn't read the book, he couldn't answer, so he secretly glanced at Gu Qing'an with some embarrassment, as if he wanted Gu Qing'an to help, but at this time, Gu Qing'an didn't want to get involved at all, so he didn't see it.

Lu was also anxious in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to step forward and tell Ming Chong, but because so many people were present, it was difficult to speak, so he only hoped that Ming Chong could be smarter.

Ming Chong scratched his head, thought about it and thought about it, and was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead came out, and then said, "It seems to be ...... It seems that two villains are drawn, and the books are a little old, because the books in the third young master's bookbag are all half-old, so it is not easy to be seen! ”

Ming Chong thought that what he said was not leaky, but he didn't expect to fall for Gu Qingwan's plan, Gu Qingwan looked out of the door, and then said: "Grandmother, second uncle, because of the recent incident, Zhao'er told me as soon as he came back, in order to confirm the truth of Zhao'er's words, I specially invited Master Lin, who taught in today's school, he is one of the witnesses, and is now waiting outside, why don't you invite him to come in and ask clearly, how about it?" ”

Gu Tianyou didn't speak, but Old Madam Gu agreed first, and said, "Since Master Lin is here, naturally I have to invite him in to talk, and I can ask what happened in the school today!" ”

"This ...... This is our family's housekeeping, I'm afraid it's not okay for an outsider to come? I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be words that are not good for our Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion! The Lu family hurriedly wanted to stop it, she was afraid that Lin Fuzi would say something unfavorable to Gu Qing'an.

Gu Qingwan looked at the Lu family, and said to Old Madam Gu: "Master Lin is an upright person, he has promised Wan'er, no matter what he sees in the mansion or what he hears, he will never spread it, he is a well-known upright person in Wenhua Academy, I believe he will never tell lies, nor will he spread rumors that are unfavorable to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion!" ”
