Chapter 20: Luo Yuge
"Let's go, let's go and see what is going on with your maid." Mrs. Tai said that she had stood up from her position, and when Mama Chang saw this, she hurriedly helped Mrs. Tai with Qing Mu left and right, and when the two or three of them arrived at the "Luo Yu Pavilion" where the Liu family was, the surroundings were already surrounded by water.
When the people saw Mrs. Tai at this time, they hurriedly and consciously parted and made way for a big road.
When Qing Mu walked to the courtyard, he saw the red sleeves kneeling in the center, at this time her body was covered with terrible blood marks, her face was bruised and could not change color, his teeth chattered vigorously, but his mouth kept repeating "I didn't, I didn't." ”
Qing Mu felt her heart tremble violently, and she hurriedly stepped forward and shouted the name of the red sleeve.
At this moment, the red sleeves are still wearing a plain white robe, which will make Qing Mu think of the way she fell in front of her in her previous life, the situation at that time was like this, lying lifeless, covered in blood, thinking about being here, Qing Mu couldn't help but shudder.
"Miss, the red sleeves hurt so much, the red sleeves hurt so much......" Seeing Qing Mu's red sleeves, he finally couldn't help howling loudly, looking at the red sleeves covered in scars, Qing Mu's hand rested in the air, and he didn't dare to drop a minute for a while, "Red sleeves, I'm late, it's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid." ”
Qing Mu comforted softly over and over again, and her heart became even more angry.
"Miss, you look like this, how can I punish my subordinates again?"
Liu had just explained the situation to Mrs. Tai, and she didn't see her refute, so she looked at Qing Mu who was standing in the center and opened her mouth, she also signaled the guards around her to pull Qing Mu aside, and several guards looked at each other, if Mrs. Tai didn't arrive at the scene, they might still listen to Liu's arrangement, but now Mrs. Tai is sitting here, and Qing Mu is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, and they are borrowing their ambition leopard at this time, and they don't dare to step forward to take people.
The hesitation of the subordinates made Liu's face worse, she was unwilling, what could she do if she had jurisdiction today, as long as her wife was still on this day, she was just a puppet!
"Qing Mu wants to ask her grandmother to take a good look, what crime did Red Sleeves commit?" Qing Mu comforted Red Sleeves a few words, and then stood up from the ground, she did not look directly at the Liu family to speak, but faced the lady who was sitting on the side.
Mrs. Tai has always been reluctant to manage these things in the inner courtyard, after all, she is just a maid, even if she is killed, what can she do, but at this time, there are so many people with her, and Mrs. Tai is afraid that if she does not handle it well, it will chill the heart of the slave.
In addition, Liu's handling of this matter is too extreme, so many pairs of eyes are watching, she dares to use the family method without asking for instructions, and even makes such a big move, provoking others to look at the big house jokes, Mrs. Tai paused for a long time, in the end she still stood up, she always wants to grind Liu's temperament, dare to bully the big house today, and tomorrow may reach into her own house.
Mrs. Tai nodded, "Let's talk about it, what the hell is going on." ”
Liu's face turned red with anger, no matter how he said that he was a member of the Qing family, Mrs. Tai said this now, completely ignoring her feelings, and helping Qing Mu, if this continues, where will he have the authority to discipline his subordinates in the future! But thinking about it in his heart, Liu didn't dare to speak out against it.
"Back to the eldest lady, it was the red sleeves who stole the gorse in our house, and the human and physical evidence is all here, the eldest lady, if you don't believe it, just ask them."
Saying that, Liu waved her hand, and the grandmother beside her walked up with the maid and the little maid.
The tray in Mama Cheng's hand is the gorse hairpin she said, which is one of the treasures given by the upper level of the last saint, and it is said that it is still a tribute from foreign countries, and the style is very popular with noble ladies.
"The slave maid is Xiaolan, the maid in the second lady's room, yesterday I saw the red-sleeved sister leave the second lady's house in a hurry, that is, after she left, the gorse hairpin disappeared."
"I'm the porter of the second room, and today I also saw Sister Red-sleeved, she wanted me to borrow a carriage, and I thought she was going to go out of the house to pawn this hairpin!"
"Back to the old lady, eldest lady, this is the gorse hairpin that the old slave personally led people to search out of the red-sleeved room."
The words of the three of them directly pushed the red sleeves to the position of stealing, if you don't think about it carefully, I'm afraid you will have to listen to it.
"Mrs., their words are really a bit biased, earlier my aunt sent someone to ask about the size of my clothes, I was not there at the time, and only after I came back did I let the red sleeves reply for me, as for the situation of asking for the carriage, it was just because Qing Mu wanted to eat the osmanthus cake outside the house today, and the red sleeves wanted to buy it for me."
Qing Mu explained one by one, and finally she continued: "What's more, if Red Sleeves really stole this plantagenet, how could she borrow the carriage of the General's Mansion to go out and pawn!" ”
Qing Mu was clearly organized, dissected everything one by one, and when the words fell, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but nod her head, and looking at the way the two of them spoke, at this time, the Liu family was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
"But this gorse hairpin was indeed found in the red-sleeved room, how can the eldest lady explain it?"
"Then according to my aunt's meaning, who stole it from whose room was this searched? If you find it in your grandmother's room, won't you blame your grandmother? ”
Liu sneered, she still thought that this eldest lady had some clever means to be able to declare her grievances for the red sleeves, but it turned out to be just some stalking tricks, "Where is the eldest lady talking about, how could Mrs. Tai steal things, did you start to distinguish between right and wrong in order to save this girl?" Liu Shi was sure that Qing Mu couldn't come up with evidence to prove the innocence of Red Sleeves at this time, so she was even more like no one.
After all, why did Red Sleeves steal this gorse? She is just a maid, wearing such valuable jewelry will naturally attract the suspicion of others, and it is not her master who takes a fancy to it, so she sacrifices this little girl.
Liu's words obviously wanted to throw the pot on Qing Mu's body, and how could Qing Mu not see Liu's thoughts, so she borrowed a knife to kill people, but unfortunately she is no longer the Qing Mu of the past!
"My aunt said well, the gorse hairpin doesn't grow legs, it must have been taken by someone to hide in the room with red sleeves, she has no special guards there, if someone has a heart to stuff something in, it is not a difficult thing." Qing Mu did not hide it and directly said his guess, Liu Shi had not yet spoken, but the lady of one side was the first to speak.
"Qingmu, do you mean that someone framed him?" The General's Mansion has always been a Qingming family, if such a thing really happens, it is not just a matter that can be solved by a girl!
Mrs. Tai was not so concerned originally, but now that the reputation of the General's Mansion has been involved, how can she sit idly by.
At this time, where could the screen still allow the Liu family to speak, she quickly turned around, and took the opportunity to reply to Mrs. Tai's words: "Qing Mu has heard that there is a magical saying about the special jewelry made in the Western Regions, we might as well try it according to this statement?" ”
In her previous life, although she was not favored as a queen, she naturally did not lack foreign treasures, and she naturally knew the characteristics of those jewelry.
"Qing Mu heard that anyone who touches this jewelry will leave a special smell on their hands, just touch it with white vinegar, if there is a pink mark on the hand, it means that they have taken this thing."
"It does." Mrs. Tai nodded, she has been rich for so many years, and her knowledge will naturally be much less than that of Qing Mu, but she doesn't understand how her granddaughter can know so much!
This is generally the benefit of her rebirth, Qing Mu thought to herself, thanks to the fact that she had a few friends from the Western Regions in her previous life, she could know so clearly at this time.
To put it bluntly, these things are not a secret in the Western Regions, the Western Regions have always been good friends with Xia Li, but they have always been ambitious, although they will make a pilgrimage every year, but the things that come from the tribute are only the inferior products of others, and the really good things are naturally collected in their own countries.
In his previous life, although Xia Li had a good relationship with the Western Regions, he didn't know that people chose carefully, thinking that after his uncle's death, there were no soldiers and horses in the court to resist the Western Regions, but I was afraid that the throne of Yecheng would not be stable later.
The old woman asked her to bring the white vinegar, and she would not allow anything dirty to happen under her nose, and soon the white vinegar was taken up by the guards, and there was naturally no trace on the hands of the red sleeves.
Seeing this, Liu Shi hurriedly said: "It is also possible that Red Sleeves knew this method, so he cleaned up the traces in advance for fear of being exposed." "Liu's statement is naturally reasonable, this matter was proposed by Qing Mu, and it is not strange that the two of them, as master servants, also know this matter, but Qing Mu's purpose is never just to clear the charge of Red Sleeves, what she has to do is to find the person who really framed Red Sleeves!
As soon as Liu Shi saw Qing Mu's eyes, she was too busy saying goodbye, she didn't know why she was afraid of this once arrogant and brainless eldest lady, but she was always a motherless child, even if she was protected by Mrs. Tai now, how long can she be arrogant!?
A little doll, is there any reason why she can't play with her?
"Since I said that the red sleeves were framed, there must be traces on the hands of the person who planted the spoof."
This is the real purpose of Qingmu!
Liu's heart was immediately confused, but because Mrs. Tai was here, she would not be allowed to put this emotion on her face, "Could it be that you mean that you want all the subordinates to verify it one by one?" "This Liu clan raised his voice, probably thinking that if the voice was loud, it would occupy a little truth.
Qing Mu didn't open her mouth to respond, but turned to look at Mrs. Tai, "Grandmother, what do you think?" "The surroundings were quiet, everyone thought they were just here to have a good time, and then they thought that things would become this virtue, and no one dared to come out at this time, for fear of implicating themselves.
It's true that Red Sleeves was framed, and she sent someone to do it herself, in case it was found out...... Liu Shi shuddered, she looked at Mrs. Tai with anticipation, but she didn't expect Mrs. Tai to nod categorically, "Check it." ”
Ryu almost fainted when he heard this.
"Although I am old and can't manage the affairs of this family, I have always known the creed of the Qing Mansion, and I will never wronged a good person, nor will I let go of a bad person, the Qing Mansion will never allow anything pickled." Mrs. Tai's words knocked heavily on the hearts of the people.
Qing Mu pinched Mrs. Tai's character, and she could toss it behind her back, but once the matter is put on the bright side, as long as it will damage the interests of the Qing family, it will be tolerated!
Not to mention the final result of today's affairs, just with so many eyes of the two subordinates watching, Mrs. Tai may not be biased.
But so many people looked at it and wanted to check it one by one, I am afraid that Mrs. Tai would be dissatisfied afterwards, thinking of this, Qing Mu stood up first, "Since I proposed this method first, then naturally I will come first." Ying said that she dipped her hands in a copper basin filled with white vinegar, and the result was naturally no problem.
With the beginning of Qing Mu, it will be a lot of good promotion after that, "Let's come together with a few grandmothers." Qing Mu stood aside with white vinegar, waiting to verify it with a few grandmothers, several grandmothers are all old people in the house, where have they been treated like this, but at this time, there are Mrs. Tai's eyes watching, no one dares to be presumptuous.
Mama Chang stood up first beside Mrs. Tai, and the last few mammas also had to bite the bullet, and the results came out soon-
"Mrs. Tai's life! The slave maid is also a ghost for a while, so she framed the red-sleeved girl! One of them threw herself to the ground, banging her head on the ground.
Liu's felt that his breath was broken, this grandma is not Liu's constant companion Zhu Mama, it seems that she is still the nurse of Liushi! In the early years, as the Liu family married into the Qing Mansion, she followed along.
For this nurse, Qing Mu Ke still remembers deeply, in the last life, Zhu Mama not only followed Qingcheng into the palace, but also saved love, and even some concubines also gave her face, at that time, Rong Mama's affairs were handled by this Zhu Mama, in addition to this, I don't know how many people I care about were murdered by her!
caught the real murderer in her heart, Mrs. Tai instantly let the people below disperse, the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, no matter what others think in their hearts, Mrs. Tai can be regarded as giving everyone an explanation at this time.
"The old slave just can't get used to the red-sleeved girl, so when he sees her alone today, he has bad intentions."
This Zhu Mama is really loyal, even at this time, there is no mention of the Liu family, Mrs. Tai sat in the position and looked at the Liu family indifferently, "This matter ......"
