Chapter 26: Ye Xi seizes power
As soon as Su Yexi said this, Liu Hai stared at her with frightened eyes, kept shaking her head, the corners of Su Yexi's mouth were slightly hooked, and she said softly
"If you think about it, write it."
Liu Hai took the pen and wrote on the paper tremblingly: I can enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, but someone actually responds.
Seeing what he wrote, Su Zhengnan's sword frowned deeply, and his face turned pale.
Su Yexi's eyebrows instantly brightened, and he said meaningfully
"Someone answered? Could it be that someone instructed you to sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion in the middle of the night? ”
Liu Hai nodded, Su Yexi looked cold, and asked sharply
"Who is it?"
Liu Hai looked at Aunt Gu, her eyes dodged, as if she had made up her mind, and wrote one stroke at a time: I don't know, I only know that a very beautiful girl came to me a few days ago, saying that I would sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight, and someone would answer and give me a large sum of money afterwards. ”
"Do you remember what that girl looked like and what her name was?"
Liu Hai seemed to have thought about it for a long time, and wrote it down, Su Yexi took the paper and read it: The girl was white and thin, as if her name was Cuizhu.
She said lightly, but the others felt a thunder explode down, and they were so stunned that they couldn't move for a long time.
This Cuizhu is Aunt Gu's personal maid, no wonder this thief always looks at Aunt Gu, it turns out that he is looking at Cuizhu beside her.
Cuizhu's face on the side turned pale, and then he said angrily
"You are talking nonsense, when have I been looking for you, why are you framing me?"
Su Yexi sneered and said
"Cuizhu, dare to do it, don't you dare to admit it? If you hadn't gone to him, how would he have known your name? ”
Cuizhu was speechless by Su Yexi's words, she stabilized her mind, knelt on the ground, and said word by word
"What the slave and maid have not done, why should the slave and the maid admit it, as for why he knows the name of the slave and maid, someone must have deliberately instigated him to frame the slave and maid, and I hope the prime minister will find out."
She said generously and powerfully, and there was an expression on her face that looked at death as if she were at home, so that everyone couldn't help but feel a little true, Su Yexi's eyes crossed a trace of coldness, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked.
Cuizhu, Gu Qingwei's confidant, in the last life, helped Gu Qingwei do many things that hurt heaven and reason, including, her mother was drugged, and Su Chengfeng was killed, all of which were inseparable from her, and she was much stronger than ordinary maids in terms of courage and wisdom, and was deeply trusted by Gu Qingwei, this time I will clean you up first!
Su Zhengnan looked at Cuizhu with a cold face and said coldly
"Don't worry, the appearance has always been rigorous and clear, if this matter has nothing to do with you, the appearance will naturally return your innocence."
"Thank you, Prime Minister."
Cuizhu looked grateful.
Su Zhengnan looked at his bangs, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, and asked
"Bangs, this picture asks you, you said that Cuizhu went to look for you, which day and hour? What was said to you? ”
Liu Hai quietly glanced at Su Yexi, Su Yexi smiled slightly, those eyes seemed to give him courage, he immediately retracted his gaze, and wrote: It was the afternoon two days ago, the girl came to me directly, threw me a few silver coins, and said, let me sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion in the evening two days later, I don't have to do anything, someone will pick me up when the time comes, and I will be given a lot of money afterwards. ”
Hearing this, Su Zhengnan frowned deeply, looked at Cuizhu, and asked in a cold voice
"Cuizhu, did you ever leave the house two days ago afternoon?"
Cuizhu raised her head, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and her lips trembled:
"The slave did go out of the house two days ago in the afternoon, but it was because she had to go to the street to buy some things, and the slave and maid definitely didn't go to him or see him!"
Su Zhengnan looked at Cuizhu's flustered appearance, and then looked at Gu Qingwei, who was calm and composed, and had an idea in his heart, could it be that he was really like Liu Hai said, thinking of this, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly
"That's enough, right and wrong, the appearance will judge by itself, bangs, the appearance will ask you again, what color dress did the girl who went to see you wear that day? What did you buy? What are the characteristics? ”
Cuizhu was slightly relieved, if it was all a coincidence before, then he would definitely not be able to say it this time, she went out to buy it was actually an excuse, but to help Aunt Gu with errands, she didn't buy anything, but, then, Cuizhu only felt like a thunderbolt in the sky, and she couldn't move all of a sudden.
I saw him write: "The girl was dressed in pink, and had a crescent-like birthmark on her wrist, and I saw that she was holding a basket with some rouge and gouache or something.
"Yes, I remember that Sister Cuizhu was indeed wearing pink clothes."
"Uh-huh, and she really has a crescent-like birthmark on her hand."
"It seems that this thief is right, but why did Sister Cuizhu do this?"
There was a whisper next to him, and everyone had to believe it, and Cuizhu, who listened to it, was in a difficult mood, and quickly stood up, pointed to his bangs, and said angrily
"You are talking nonsense, I have never seen you at all, and I have not spoken to you, besides, I didn't buy anything when I went out of the house that afternoon, I just went to help Aunt Gu send money to her brother, what rouge gouache you said is fake, why are you framing me so much, why?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bomb, which exploded into everyone's hearts, Cuizhu's face turned pale, how could she not choose her words, and said that she helped Aunt Gu send money, it's over, even if she can escape tonight, Aunt Gu will definitely not let her go easily!
She subconsciously looked at Aunt Gu, and sure enough, Gu Qingwei's eyes looked at her like a poisonous snake, making her shiver unconsciously, so frightened that she knelt down with a thud, her head bowed, her whole body from head to toe, as if immersed in a cold pool, cold, and she didn't dare to say a word more.
Su Zhengnan looked at Gu Qingwei with a pale face, his eyebrows were full of anger, and he said angrily
"You dare to send money to your brother again, did I say that you are not allowed to send money to your brother, and you dare to hide it from me!"
Gu Qingwei's face turned pale with fright, and her lips trembled
"Xiangye, the concubine didn't deliberately hide it from Xiangye, it's really because the concubine's younger brother owes too much debt outside, and if he doesn't pay it back, he will be beaten to death, Xiangye, don't blame the concubine, the concubine will never dare in the future!"
Su Zhengnan snorted coldly, unwilling to pay attention to her, the old lady knocked on the ground with a cane, her face was gloomy, and she scolded angrily
"Aunt Gu, I gave you the right to be a housekeeper, how can you take the money of the Prime Minister's Mansion to give your brother who is not a good person, I'm afraid that this is more than once, if you still put the right to be a housekeeper in your hands, this Prime Minister's Mansion will be hollowed out by you sooner or later!"
As she spoke, she looked at Su Zhengnan and said word by word
"Zhengnan, I think I still took her stewardship, let her reflect on it, and let Xi'er manage it for the time being, what do you think?"
Su Zhengnan seemed to have doubts, he was angry that Gu Qingwei gave money to her brother, but he didn't plan to take away her housekeeper's power, he was slightly embarrassed
"Mother, this Ye Xi is still young, I'm afraid that I can't manage this Prime Minister's Mansion well, and there are Zhuangzi outside the city, and all kinds of shops in the city, which is busy, but it takes time and effort, I'm afraid that Ye Xi can't do it well."
Gu Qingwei on the side smiled reluctantly and said quickly
"Yes, yes, old lady, Xiangye, the eldest lady is still young, and she has never managed the Xiangfu, I don't know the hard work, I think the eldest lady is also unwilling......"
"Okay, you don't need to say much, I said let Xi'er manage it, let Xi'er manage it, how can there be so many words."
The old lady interrupted Gu Qingwei's words with a tough attitude.
Su Yexi hurriedly stepped forward and refused, flattered and said
"Grandmother, Xi'er is still young, and she can't take care of this huge prime minister's mansion."
