Hongyu on the side noticed Gu Muyan's eyes looking at her, and quickly knelt down, but her head was almost touching the ground, and her body was trembling.

"Hongyu, I asked Xi Xiang to get it for dinner the day before yesterday, but you brought it back later." Gu Muyan recounted the facts without being salty or light, but Hongyu's body still stiffened.

Hongyu hurriedly defended: "Miss, the night before yesterday, the slave maid saw that Sister Xixiang was busy, so she went to get dinner by herself. ”

Gu Muyan didn't look at Hongyu at this time, but turned his head to talk to Gao: "Grandmother." I felt dizzy after dinner that night, so I went to bed early......"

Gao looked at Gu Muyan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, coupled with Hongyu's performance, she probably guessed what was going on.

Gao's majestic voice sounded in his ears: "Hongyu, confess yourself, who did you meet the night before, and who instructed you, what did you put in the eldest lady's meal?" ”

Ruby almost fell to her knees, her hands trembling violently, but she was completely silent.

"Hongyu, if you still refuse to speak, hold the red-hot charcoal in the palm of your hand to prove your innocence!" Gao Shi looked at the red jade on the ground and said in disbelief.

When Rue Xiang heard what the old lady said, she immediately went to the kitchen to bring a pot of red charcoal. Ruby looked at the pot of charcoal and shivered.

Gu Muyan looked at her lightly from the side and didn't say anything. She understands that speaking now will only make her appear vicious and shallow, and there is no room for others.

Gao Shi sank his face, looked at the trembling red jade, and said sharply: "Since you refuse to tell the truth, and you refuse to hold charcoal in your hand to prove your innocence, do you want our Gu family to send you to see the official?" ”

That fire came really strangely, and it almost hurt Gu Muyan's life, this matter must not be let go carelessly. Thinking that her poor little granddaughter was almost killed in the fire, Gao's attitude became even tougher, coupled with the conversations he had heard outside Gu Muyan's room before, Gao faintly felt in his heart that this matter was inseparable from Aunt Li and Gu Xiyue, but now he couldn't prove his guess.

Looking at the attitudes of the Gao family and Gu Muyan, Hongyu's body suddenly went limp, and her face was even more pale as paper, she knew that she had escaped this catastrophe.

Gu Muyan looked at everything in front of her mockingly, if this was in her previous life, she would definitely be soft-hearted, but now, everything is different.

In her previous life, she was kind to people, but in exchange for something, she lost her husband, her posterior, and even her life. All these experiences made her understand that being soft on the enemy is cruel to herself.

Rue Xiang moved the charcoal fire closer to Ruby: "Sister Ruby, please." ”

Ruby gritted her teeth, tilted her head away, and quickly reached for the crackling charcoal, only to scream and retract her hand as soon as she touched it.

"The slave said, the slave said everything......," Ruby said, wailing, as she sat on the ground.

Hongyu sobbed and said, "Yes, it's Aunt Li......" Although Hongyu spoke intermittently, these words accurately entered the ears of Gao and Gu Muyan.

"Since I want to say it, let's make it clear carefully." Gao turned his head and looked at Gu Muyan with pity, over the years, the small movements of Li and Gu Xiyue have not stopped, she has lived for most of her life, and these naturally can't escape her eyes. But in order to take care of the peace of the family, she has always turned a blind eye, but they don't know how to restrain themselves. This time, it almost killed Gu Muyan! And the reason is because of Gu Muyan's good looks!

"The afternoon before yesterday, Aunt Li sent someone to give the slave maid some silver money, and asked the slave maid to put the bag of things in the eldest lady's meal," Hongyu said while looking at Gao's face, seeing that her face was getting more and more ugly, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, the slave maid doesn't know what that bag of things is, and I don't know why the eldest lady's yard is on fire, these have nothing to do with the slave maid......" Hongyu said very anxiously, but she was in a hurry to get herself out of this matter, so she couldn't care so much.

"Okay," Gao suddenly slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Ruxiang, you personally go and invite Aunt Li and Second Miss over!" ”

Hearing this, Rue Xiang immediately retreated, and it didn't take long for Li and Gu Xiyue to appear in Liunian Zhai.

As soon as Li came in, she saw Hongyu kneeling on the ground and Gao with a blue face, she probably knew what was going on, and secretly said a useless slave in her heart, and immediately asked Gao with a smile on her face.

"Say hello to the old lady, the concubine was still telling the second lady just now that she was going to come to say hello to you." Li had an amiable smile on his face, and he also pulled Gu Xiyue to salute the old lady.

And when Gu Xiyue saw Gu Muyan sitting quietly on the side, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She and her mother have been planning for so long, but they still haven't disfigured this slut.

"I called you over today, and there is nothing else, but I haven't been in good health recently, so I don't worry much about the affairs of the back house. But I didn't expect that such a thing would happen. The more the old lady spoke, the more angry she became, and by the end her eyelids drooped almost completely.

When Hongyu heard this, she hurriedly kowtowed to the side: "The old lady is aware of this, all this was instigated by Aunt Li to drug the eldest lady's meal, and the slave and maid were forced......"

Before Hongyu finished speaking, Gu Xiyue scolded with raised eyebrows: "You Diao slave, you actually say that your aunt is innocent!" He looked at the old lady pitifully: "Grandmother, don't be deceived by this minion, my aunt has always been kind-hearted, which makes a slave dare to insult her casually!" ”

Aunt Li also knelt down, and before she could say anything, tears flowed down: "The old lady wants to be the master of the concubine, the concubine has always loved the eldest lady, how could she do such a vicious thing?" The concubine didn't know why, but this maid actually splashed such a big basin of dirty water on me. ”

Hearing this, Hongyu looked at Aunt Li in disbelief: "Auntie, you didn't say that before. As he spoke, he carefully took out a silver ingot from his purse and held it to the old lady: "Old lady, this is what my aunt gave to the slave maid, otherwise with me as a slave, how could I have so much silver?" ”

Gu Xiyue's eyes looked at Hongyu fiercely and mocked: "Is there a mark on this silver, who knows if someone has planted the blame?" What's more, you are the personal maid of the big sister, and it is difficult to say where this silver came from! Gu Xiyue deliberately bit the word close-fitting.

Gu Muyan originally wanted to watch from the wall, but when he heard this, his eyes were full of tears but he didn't fall, and asked: "Sister, is this saying that I deliberately set fire to myself and almost burned myself, and the thief shouted to catch the thief and instructed this maid to frame Aunt Li?" ”

And the old lady was angry when she thought that this granddaughter was almost burned to death in order to save herself, and Gu Xiyue was still sowing discord, seeing what Gu Xiyue wanted to say, she suddenly became angry and said: "Shut up!" You can't figure out your own affairs, and you're still thinking about blaming your sister. Aunt Li, how did you teach Second Miss? If you can't teach it, don't teach it! ”

Hearing this, Aunt Li immediately kowtowed to Gu Muyan and the old lady: "The eldest lady is angry, the old lady is angry, Yue'er is still young and ignorant, please forgive her, she is also your own sister in the end." ”

Gu Xiyue on the side saw Aunt Li like this, as if she suddenly understood something, and cried pitifully: "Grandmother, big sister, Yue'er didn't mean that, Yue'er just couldn't see that people being wronged, so she was so excited, she said the wrong thing for a while, and asked grandmother and big sister not to blame." ”

Seeing the attitude of the mother and daughter turn three hundred and sixty degrees, Gu Muyan was still a little embarrassed, but the next moment she understood.
