Chapter 613: Turning Back
After Qu Yu left, the lark looked at the master and said in a low voice: "Ling Zhao's skills are no worse than Miss Ye, and it is absolutely impossible for Miss Ye to hide from her to do these things." Ling Zhao wouldn't fail to report if he found something abnormal, and Miss Ye was going out with you today, so she didn't have time to find someone to sell something. ”
Li Yi played with the jade pendant on his waist, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you determine Ling Zhao's loyalty?" Last time, Ye Rutong helped her rescue her father. ”
The lark smiled awkwardly, and then said firmly: "Ling Zhao is not an ignorant person, she can distinguish between good and bad as well as her own position, she will indeed be grateful to Miss Ye, but she will definitely not do anything unfavorable to the Hou Mansion and you." ”
Li Yi put down the jade pendant in his hand, waved his hand, and said, "Go check Ling Zhao's movements in the past two days." ”
The lark hesitated a little, looked at the master and asked, "Don't you have other things to order?" Why don't you do it together? ”
After he reminded Li Yi, he remembered the purpose of calling him, hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly: "That matter is not important, first find out what is going on in the original garden." ”
This night, not only Ye Jinyu and Qin Miaoyin didn't sleep well, but there were also many people who were busy and watching, and Li Yi didn't rest well.
Seeing that the sky was bright outside, but Ling Zhao had not heard from him, Ye Jinyu was worried and couldn't sit still, and wanted to rush out to find someone several times, but was finally stopped by Qin Miaoyin.
"Sister Yi, you calm down first, things haven't been clarified yet, in case you go out to find someone, it will make a disturbance." Qin Miaoyin looked at her worriedly and persuaded: "And Ling Zhao is not only from the Hou Mansion, she is also the only daughter of the housekeeper, even if someone really wants to harm you, Ling Zhao will be fine." ”
"You're right, I'm in a hurry." Ye Jinyu said this, but the emotions in her eyes still leaked her anxiety and chagrin.
Just after midnight, four guards suddenly came in the early garden, and successively invited the four girls except Ye Jinyu and the maidservants beside them.
Everyone went out within a stick of incense and was then sent back and guarded in their own rooms.
Ye Jinyu knew that something must have happened, and wanted to go to Miaoyin to inquire about the situation, but there were guards standing outside her door, and she couldn't even get out of the door.
After everyone was summoned, Ye Jinyu thought that he had finally waited for him, but after waiting for another half an hour, he waited for Hou Ye.
When he appeared, he was not only followed by the lark, but also Ling Zhao, who had disappeared for a night, as well as the chief of the guard, Qu Yu, and a girl with raw eyes, who looked dressed but did not look like the maidservants in the house.
As soon as Li Sui came, he occupied the flower hall that was rarely used in the middle of the first floor, and then Ye Jinyu was invited.
Ye Jinyu observed the situation in the house, the guards were all standing in the courtyard, and there were only a few of them here. She looked at Ling Zhao again, who shook his head anxiously and heavily, wanting to say anything but not daring to say anything.
"Ye Rutong, someone accused you of secretly selling things in the house, these are evidence, take a look at it yourself, do you recognize it?" As soon as Li Sui finished speaking, the lark had already handed a few pawn tickets in his hand to Ye Jinyu. She lowered her head and took a cursory look, and immediately said seriously: "I don't recognize it, the handprint on this is not mine, and I haven't been to this Fengyuan pawnshop." ”
Li Sui glanced at Qu Yu, who immediately pushed the girl out of the eye, and Li Sui asked again, "Do you recognize her?" ”
Ye Jinyu glanced at it quickly and shook his head affirmatively. The girl on the other side was also full of confusion, but Xu had never experienced such a scene, she trembled in panic, and her eyes rolled wildly.
But she identified the maid Jin Xi in Miss An's house, and also admitted that it was the jewelry that Jin Xi instructed her to sell. But according to Jin Xi's own admission, they Miss An were threatened by you, so they sent someone to do this. Do you want to defend yourself? Li Sui still had that lukewarm tone.
Ye Jinyu finally understood, it turned out that she was waiting for her here.
"Master Hou, I don't know why Miss An said this, I have already given them those two sets of heads, and I will never think about getting them back."
Ye Jinyu tried to keep himself calm, and his tone was very calm, "If I want to sell them, the most likely person to find is Miaoyin, not someone who has a gap with me, which will only increase the risk of exposure." There is also Jin Xi, she is the person brought by Miss An from home, and she is naturally devoted to her own girl. ”
"Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, after I returned to the house with you yesterday, Miss An suddenly came to my house and cried, saying that she had been robbed in her room and lost her reward, and wanted me to accompany her to ask you for guilt. But I didn't agree, the things had already been given to her, and if it was her fault if it was lost in her hands, I naturally couldn't wade into this troubled water. ”
"Then why did you let Ling Zhao go out to find out about the movements of the other girls?" Li Sui asked.
Ye Jinyu said: "Of course, it is for self-protection, because I found that several other girls had lost things in the house, and only I was safe and sound here, and I suspected that someone wanted to frame me." ”
"You're alert." Li Sui couldn't hear what the emotion was at this point, but he just observed Ye Jinyu for a long time, and asked someone to bring the people in Anjou's dream house over.
There are also two maidservants in Anjou's dream house, one is Jin Xi, who serves her young, and the other is Bi Luo, who was sent by the Hou Mansion.
An Rumeng and Jin Xi's rhetoric is naturally the same, and they both believe that they will do this kind of thing because they are coerced by Ye Jinyu, crying and asking for punishment and atonement.
On the other hand, the testimony of the one named Bi Luo is the most crucial.
"The slave maid is a person from the Hou Mansion, and Miss An always avoids doing things, and the slave knows that the girl can't trust me, so she never dares to take the initiative to do things." 113
Bi Luo's tone didn't sound much respect, but was a little indignant, but she still remembered her identity, quickly reined in her emotions, and continued: "This time, Miss Ye gave gifts to each girl......
Ye Jinyu learned about his "crime" process from Bi Luo's mouth, it turned out that although this Bi Luo could not be reused, he still stayed in the house to serve, and accidentally heard the conversation between An Rumeng and Jin Xi, and knew that the hundred taels of silver were the hush money sent by Ye Jinyu.
This has to start from the beginning, Ye Jinyu first gave away the reward he received, and then pretended to be a thief to steal the heads of Ye Yuanxi and Qin Miaoyin's house, and finally wanted to blackmail An Rumeng to do things for himself.
Who knew that after the matter was completed, Ye Jinyu repented and stole the silver taels in Anru Meng and Fan Yi's house, so far he thought that the matter was over perfectly.
After listening to the things she "did", Ye Jinyu really wanted to applaud repeatedly, she had to be stupid to come up with such a flawed plan.
Finding an enemy to do things for herself, and stealing hush money by herself afterwards, the value of two sets of heads is worth her risk, coming up with such a cumbersome plan to toss herself.
"Miss An, you still don't know me well enough." Ye Jinyu suddenly looked at An Rumeng, grinned, his eyes instantly burst out with murderous intent, and said word by word: "If I want to regret it, I won't just steal the silver taels and keep you here to talk nonsense, I will kill you directly, and the dead will not tell the truth." ”
Anru Mengshu suddenly felt a heart-piercing chill behind him, and immediately shivered, knelt on the ground tremblingly, and begged Li Yi for help in horror and grievance.
Seeing that she was scared so easily, Ye Jinyu snorted disdainfully and continued: "Bi Luo is not the person you brought, so you always guard against her, but it happened that she heard about it, and let her know it so clearly. Don't you just want to take advantage of her being a member of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye believes her words more, really when others are fools and can't see your clumsy plan? ”
"You have less blood, less blood and mouth spew...... An Rumeng's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, looking more like a victim, "Master Hou, Ru Meng is innocent, Ru Meng was really coerced by Miss Ye...... You also heard it just now, and she also said that she was going to kill me, Master Hou, I was so scared. You save Ru Meng, even if you don't believe Ru Meng, so many people say that Miss Ye did it......"
"So many people?" Ye Jinyu interrupted her coldly and asked fiercely, "Who else is there besides your handmaid?" A strange girl found outside, she only recognizes Jin Xi, so can I think the other way around, it was you who wanted to frame me when the matter of selling jewelry was exposed? ”
An Rumeng waved her hand again and again, looked at Li Yi with teary eyes, and sobbed: "It's not what Miss Ye said, in fact, Miss Fan was also coerced by Miss Ye, if you don't believe it, you can call Miss Fan over to confront you face to face." ”
Li Yi looked at Ye Jinyu and asked, "What else do you want to say?" ”
Ye Jinyu was stunned, glared at the other party in disbelief, and asked, "Master Hou doesn't believe me?" Do you think I did it? ”
Li Yi turned to the lark and said, "Invite Miss Fan over." ”
Ye Jinyu's heart was cold, looking at the attitude of this bastard, could he have been deceived by these people?
No, he never trusted her, maybe in his heart she could do anything. So what's the use of her justifying herself now? Even if she threw the evidence in their faces, they wouldn't necessarily want to look at it more.
That's it!
"No need to scream." Ye Jinyu snorted, raised his head stubbornly and coldly glared at Li Yi, and said loudly: "It's better to be drunk than to be difficult to do, and it's better to sleep if you have a hard mouth." Master Hou, there is no point in asking any more, you can deal with it directly. ”
In an instant, only the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard in the flower hall.
Ling Zhao looked at Ye Jinyu nervously and then at Hou Ye with a complicated face, and just wanted to go up to defend his girl, but he was stopped by the lark who turned back.
Li Sui looked at Ye Jinyu's hopeless face, but there was no trace of fear and sadness in his eyes, and his heart suddenly felt like it had been pricked by a needle.
"Ye Rutong sells the things in the house privately, his actions are unjust, and his heart can be punished." Li Sui got up and looked down at everyone, and ordered in a deep voice: "From now on, Ye Rutong will be expelled from the Ruchu Garden, and he will go to the Buddha Hall to receive the punishment, and kneel for seven days to see the after-effects." ”
Yubi walked out, and when he passed by Ye Jinyu, he paused again, and said sharply: "Take people away!" ”
Qu Yu was just about to step forward to escort people away, but he was blocked by a lark, and Ling Zhao hurriedly came over to help people.
"Girl, I'm sorry, I'm useless, I can't help you with anything." Ling Zhao apologized in Ye Jinyu's ear with red eyes.
Ye Jinyu patted the back of her hand and said nothing.
As if she had come out of the garden, she was escorted to the Buddhist hall in the house, where there were guards outside, and only she sat opposite the golden statue with kind eyebrows inside, silent.
Li Sui ordered her to kneel for seven days, but he didn't send someone to monitor her, but just guarded the door and didn't let her go out. Of course, she wouldn't be stupid enough to really kneel down, and this Buddhist hall was not only clean, but it was quite warm inside, and there would be no situation where she was half frozen to death.
After sitting down in such a comfortable and solemn environment, she was able to calm down quickly, and after her emotions gradually calmed down, she suddenly thought of a possibility, could Li Sui bring her here just to make a show, and not really want to punish her?
What she said just now in Ruchuyuan is full of words, and the analysis is reasonable, but these are just one-sided words, and there is no evidence to support them.
