61. Three unjust cases from the beginning

In the building, more than ten days of calm and calm have passed.

Zheng Xian'er has always dared to think and do, and she is not confined to conventions. Although there are many miscellaneous things in the house, she relied on her own set of ways to deal with things to survive, and gradually subdued the hearts of most of the housekeepers.

In the past few days, Zhu Jinlan's body has gradually improved, and she often came to Ning Xuantang to talk and chat with Mrs. Lou.

Brother Sun Zheng, the head of the long house, is much stronger than before, and Hu often brings him to Mrs. Lou to be funny. So as the weather became colder day by day, the atmosphere in the building became more and more pleasant.

Mrs. Lou attributed these changes to Zheng Xian'er's good way of governing the family, and she has become more and more kind to her during this time.

On this day, Ning Xuantang was very lively again, and even the two girls from Shensi Garden followed Zhu Jinlan.

Zheng Xian'er was tripped by several mothers-in-law and came a little late. As soon as she entered the door and saw a room full of people, she immediately smiled: "In the past, my wife only complained that the house was deserted, but now I am afraid that she has to complain that it is too lively, right?" ”

Mrs. Lou looked at her and said with a smile: "It's just right when you don't come, and it's too noisy when you come - you are worth at least five alone!" ”

Zheng Xian'er flattened her mouth aggrievedly: "How can I be so noisy!" ”

"Yes!" Hu Shi and Zhu Jinlan laughed in unison.

Zheng Xian'er sat down angrily, snatched a piece of pastry from the plate in front of Brother Zheng and ate it, and immediately changed her smile again: "It's good to be noisy, didn't Mrs. say that the house is lively and popular before?" If you are popular, you can prosper your family! Now that the people are so together, it's better to just get a little more together! ”

Zhu Jinlan looked around and said with a smile: "It's already enough, it can't be more even!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Zheng Xian'er raised her head and smiled, and beckoned Xiaozhi to whisper a few words.

So, just a quarter of an hour later, Old Man Lou, Aunt An, Chen Jingzhen, and the remaining girls in Shen Siyuan all came.

To Zheng Xian'er's surprise, the two brothers, Lou Min and Lou Min, also walked in behind the girls one after the other.

It's- it's all here?!

Except for Lou Que who is far away in the capital, the masters, half-masters and faceless minions in the mansion have all arrived!

Zheng Xian'er saw the shining eyes all over the room, and her heart suddenly became a little nervous.

The last time people were so together, it was when she was pulled to the ancestral hall to be buried alive in a coffin!

Zhu Jinlan saw that the atmosphere was not right, and said with a smile: "Today is not a New Year's Day, my younger brother and sister specially asked someone to invite everyone here, what is the reason?" Is it to offer treasure? ”

This is clearly going to be a good show.

She didn't know that Zheng Xian'er was here prepared today!

At this time, Zhu Jinlan asked face to face, Zheng Xian'er was not in a hurry and stood up: "As the second sister-in-law said, I specially invited the master and the two brothers to come over today, and there is one thing to ask the whole family to witness. ”

"What's the matter?" Old Man Lou was a little impatient.

Mrs. Lou couldn't help but glared at him, her face was not good.

Old Man Lou was a little inexplicable, but others already knew it in their hearts: Aunt An was still under the penalty of grounding, but Old Man Lou came with her, do you need to talk about the cattiness?

In Mrs. Lou's eyes, although this Aunt An is also old, she is still an old vixen, how annoying she is!

At this moment, Zheng Xian'er, who has always been quite close to Mrs. Lou, disregarded everyone's eyes, got up and solemnly saluted Aunt An: "My daughter-in-law has suffered a great grievance before, if my aunt is not willing to tell the truth, I am afraid that my daughter-in-law will not know who is the person who set up the poison plan to harm me until she dies." Please accept me, auntie! ”

Aunt An walked out from behind the old man Lou, bent down to help Zheng Xian'er, and sighed: "I was willing to say it so late, and the third young grandmother didn't punish me, I'm already grateful." ”

"What's going on? What grievances? Mrs. Lou furrowed her brows, obviously very displeased.

Aunt An stood in the hall, facing countless scrutinizing or curious eyes, and she was not half timid: "The third young grandmother is talking about the incident when she was caught and raped in bed a few months ago and was almost buried alive in a coffin - the third young grandmother was wronged. ”

"The master has already said that you are not allowed to mention that matter again!" Mrs. Lou said angrily with a black face.

Aunt An still stood upright and did not flinch: "At that time, the master said that he was not allowed to mention it again, because he had already believed that the third young grandmother had an affair with Ah Xiang, and he only planned to take pity on the third young grandmother's life." Now that there is a chance to prove the innocence of the third young grandmother, why can't she still mention it? ”

Mrs. Lou's face turned black with anger, and in the end she had to say in a deep voice: "You say! ”

Aunt An bowed and said unhurriedly, "Mrs. Xie is tolerant." The incident of that day was actually a good show designed by the second young grandmother who bribed Guixiang, the maidservant of Luotongju, and Ah Xiang, the little girl next to the eldest young master! Guixiang drugged the third young grandmother and let Ah Xiang enter the door, and then the girl next to the second young grandmother led his wife and the eldest young grandmother to Luotongju to catch the adulterer...... This plan is not complicated, and my wife will know whether it is true or false when she thinks about it! ”

"Nonsense!" Zhu Jinlan stood up angrily: "Auntie, I have always respected you, why do you want to frame me with such nonsense?" Now that Ah Xiang is dead, and his sister has left the house and disappeared, what is the reason for you to mention this matter without any evidence! It's not enough for you to kill my son, do you still want to kill me! ”

Zheng Xian'er smiled slightly, got up and sat down again: "If I'm not mistaken, Ah Xiang's sister is the maid next to Aunt An?" It's true that the girl has left the house, but how does the second sister-in-law know that she has long since disappeared? ”

"You can't find ......" Zhu Jinlan's face changed, and he hurriedly swallowed in the middle of his words.

Zheng Xian'er sighed softly: "It seems that the second sister-in-law is very concerned about the whereabouts of that girl!" ”

Aunt An sneered: "She is sorry for herself, of course she has to care!" She didn't know that the girl left a message for me before she left the house - Ah Xiang must have been sent by the second grandmother to push into the river, and if she herself suffered misfortune one day, it must be the hands of the people of Shensiyuan! In order to prevent her from dying in vain, the girl left a purse for me, I want to ask the second young grandmother to see if she knows? ”

After that, she really took out an ordinary-looking purse from her waist.

Zhu Jinlan hurriedly grabbed it and opened it casually, his face couldn't help but change.

What fell out of the purse was the few small pieces of jewelry she gave to him one after another in order to win the trust of Ah Xiang. These things were taken out of her dowry, and they could not be denied.

Originally, it was the most taboo to leave evidence for doing this kind of thing, and the minions who had no choice but to send Aoxuan were all taught by the eldest young master, and their temperament was more cautious than the other. is this best talkative Ah Xiang, if he hadn't been guaranteed by Zhu Jinlan several times, he would never have easily agreed to such a risky thing!

After the deed was completed, Zhu Jinlan finally broke the contract and killed Ah Xiang, and the few pieces of jewelry she took out to make reassuring pills for Ah Xiang were finally placed in front of Mrs. Lou.

Zhu Jinlan's heart was weak for a while, but at this time, he had to bite the bullet and say: "I have never counted the dowry, which slave stole my things and framed me!" ”

"Whether it is framed or not, the second young grandmother knows it in her own heart." Aunt An said this sentence steadily, and then she still returned to stand behind the old man Lou.

Old Man Lou and Mrs. Lou were a little hesitant.

Aunt An's words seem to have a reason, and this evidence is quite weighty. But these alone seem unreasonable to overturn a case that has been suppressed for a long time.

Of course, if Zheng Xian'er comes out to cry and sell miserably at this time, it is not impossible to be wronged.

Mrs. Lou didn't want to be in the limelight by Aunt An, so she lovingly took Zheng Xian'er's hand, wiped her tears and said, "No wonder you kept shouting grievances before, and you refused to admit your guilt until the end...... It's hard for you, after suffering such a big grievance, you are still willing to treat us as a family......"

"Zheng, I have no grievances with you, why are you framing me!" Zhu Jinlan got up and pounced on Zheng Xian'er, as if hysterical.

Her own mother-in-law rushed over to grab her, and Zheng Xian'er was not afraid.

At this time, everyone in the hall had different reactions, and there was some chaos. Zheng Xian'er smiled at Mrs. Lou: "Thank you, Mrs. for believing in me." However, I have another grievance, and I ask my wife to allow me to finish it together. ”

"Isn't that musk thing settled?" Mrs. Lou was puzzled.

Zheng Xian'er smiled: "It's not that one. I have another witness to this matter, and I ask my wife to allow her to speak. ”

Mrs. Lou glanced around the hall, and suddenly smiled inexplicably: "It seems that you came prepared today?" Go ahead! ”

Zheng Xian'er didn't argue, smiled slightly and lowered her head.

Behind Zhu Jinlan, a beautifully dressed girl walked out and knelt down facing Mrs. Lou: "The slave maid wants to avenge the third young grandmother, and even more so for the previous sister Yuzhu!" ”

"Caifeng, you're crazy!" Zhu Jinlan was shocked.

The same face changed greatly was the second young master Lou Min. He couldn't help but stand up: "What are you doing here?" What grievances does Yuzhu have? ”

This second young master is an amorous seed, the Caifeng in front of him and the jade bead that was sold before are his beloved concubines, no wonder he is in a hurry.

Caifeng slowly raised her head, her face was a little timid, but her eyes were very firm: "Brother Zheng'er was sick before, and there is another secret!" At that time, the saliva was actually sewn by the slave maid herself, and the dirty cotton wool inside was brought in by the grandmother who asked the little girl outside, with the intention of killing Brother Zheng and marrying the third young grandmother - the material embroidered with flowers and plants on the front of the saliva was stolen by Guixiang from Luotongju! ”

"Really?!" Old Man Lou was so angry that his face turned blue.

Caifeng kowtowed and cried: "In this matter, the slave and maid themselves are also accomplices!" If it weren't true, why would the slave and maid bother to expose the matter and admit the great crime of murdering the master! At that time, the little guy who brought in dirty cotton wool from outside was a blessing on the second door, and the old lady could pass him to confront him! ”

"Call up!" Old Man Lou said angrily.

It didn't take long for Fu'er to be taken and come in with a shrunken head.

Old Man Lou asked in person, and before he could scare him, the kid recruited him.

Zhu Jinlan was dragged by the two mothers-in-law, pointed at Zheng Xian'er and shouted hoarsely: "In order to frame me, you really took great pains!" Have you forgotten that it was you who insisted that the saliva was Miss Tongjun's needlework at the beginning! I remember that day you sang and harmonized with the fifth son, and you chose yourself cleanly! Why do you want to slap yourself in the face so soon and admit that it's your own needlework? Please, you make up a lie, and make it round, okay! ”

Zheng Xian'er got up, walked to Caifeng's side and knelt down: "The fifth prince didn't lie about the day, and I didn't lie, but I just hid it from my wife in a hurry, and my daughter-in-law was willing to admit her guilt." ”

"Not lying, but hiding something? What's going on? Mrs. Lou was puzzled.

Zheng Xian'er raised her head and said: "At that time, my daughter-in-law had already recognized her needle and thread, and she also guessed that the second sister-in-law was going to blame me. I shouldn't have hidden it from my wife, but if I told the truth at that time, I was afraid that I would be convicted of murdering Brother Zheng'er! The daughter-in-law is a person who has died once, and she is especially sorry for her life, so she asks her wife to forgive her sins. ”

Mrs. Lou laughed angrily at her nonsense, and asked again for a long time: "What's the matter with Miss Tongjun?" When did you collude with Que Er to help you lie? ”

Zheng Xian'er pursed her lips and smiled: "The fifth prince won't help me lie!" The reason why he echoed my words was because I was not lyingβ€”the embroidery was indeed the needlework of Miss Tongjun! ”

Zhu Jinlan sneered loudly, with a look of disdain.

Zheng Xian'er lowered her head and smiled, and added: "Because the so-called 'Tongjun girl' is me!" This matter is well known in the Jin Pavilion, and if the old lady does not believe it, she can call someone to ask. ”

"You?!" Mrs. Lou couldn't help but stand up.

Zheng Xian'er said with a smile: "The matter of needlework and thread, my daughter-in-law thinks that she can still stand the test. Mrs. "Baishou Tu" has seen it before, didn't you also say that the embroidery is good! ”

"It's not just 'good'!" The old man sighed: "After the "Hundred Longevity Map" was sent to the palace, the emperor appreciated it very much, and he had asked people to hang it in the side hall of the imperial study!" ”

"How can this be?!" Mrs. Lou was overjoyed.

Speaking of happy events, Old Man Lou's face softened: "Not bad." The emperor was very happy for this, and specially rewarded a lot of things to our house. This matter has spread all over the capital. ”

At first hearing the news, even Lou Min, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help but be overjoyed: "This is a great event, why didn't my father say it earlier?" ”

Old Man Lou waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not time yet." The father only learned about it this morning after receiving the news from the flying pigeons in the capital, and the holy decree is slow, and it will take seven or eight days to come down, and it is not too late for the father to know when he wants to receive the reward. ”

The sudden good news diluted the previous tense atmosphere, and everyone except the people in the Garden of Meditation was overjoyed.

Zheng Xian'er herself didn't care, she looked pampered and not shocked: "Therefore, in the case of poisoning Brother Zheng'er, the daughter-in-law was able to get out by deceiving her wife, although she is guilty, she is not without grievances, please call the shots!" ”

"Okay," Mrs. Lou was in a good mood, "My lord and I will make the decision for you!" ”

After that, she personally pulled up Zheng Xian'er and told her to go back to her place and sit down, and beckoned the housekeeper to send Zhu Jinlan.

Zheng Xian'er interrupted her arrangement again: "Don't worry, Mrs., my daughter-in-law has a third thing today." ”

"The third piece?!" The crowd no longer knew what to say.

Zheng Xian'er raised her head and looked around at everyone, and sent the surprisingly quiet Chen Jingzhen and a few unimportant maids out, and then said unhurriedly: "Exactly." This third thing is that I was kidnapped a few days ago, and it was my second sister-in-law who did it! ”

Mrs. Lou was shocked: "What? Kidnap? You don't mean ......"

Zheng Xian'er was about to stand up again, but Mrs. Lou hurriedly pressed her hand: "Sit down and talk!" ”

Zheng Xian'er lowered her head and answered "yes", and when she looked up again, her face was full of sorrow: "That day, I lied to my wife...... In fact, I was indeed kidnapped that night, taken to a deserted village on the outskirts of the city, and tied up all night......"

She pulled up her cuffs, revealing two wrists that had not healed: "At that time, I was tied to a chair behind my back, and it took a whole night to break the hemp rope and escape!" At that time, the scar on the wrist was deep and bone-in-cheek, but the daughter-in-law was still glad - if the daughter-in-law had escaped half an hour late, the matter would have been known to everyone! ”

Mrs. Lou rubbed the scar on her wrist and had fully believed her words.

"You...... Is it with such a hand that the embroidery of the "Hundred Longevity Map"? Mrs. Lou couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart.

Zheng Xian'er tried her best to curl the corners of her lips and smiled: "The gift of Halloween, naturally I don't dare to be sloppy." My wife doesn't have to worry about me, she has been using the best medicine, and now she is all better. ”

Zhu Jinlan stood still holding on to the pillar and laughed: "You were kidnapped and lost your innocence, and this kind of thing also depends on me?" ”

"Some people's mouths should be cleaner!" Hu Shi hugged Brother Zheng and sneered.

Zhu Jinlan sneered: "Isn't it clean? My mouth is not clean, but is it true that some people's bodies are clean? How could he have been taken captive, and how could he have come back safe and sound? It's not that he used that man's body to buy off the thief! Just say that being robbed is over, what 'kidnapping' is not 'kidnapping'! ”

"Zheng, is there such a thing?" Old Man Lou's brows tightened again.

Zheng Xian'er shook her head, still looking at Zhu Jinlan: "Second sister-in-law can not understand me, but she won't not know your own brother, right?" Do you have the guts to insult me, don't you know in your heart? ”

"What did you say?!" Zhu Jinlan's face immediately turned white.

Zheng Xian'er looked at her with a smile: "I said something wrong? Wasn't it your eldest brother who pretended to be a robber that night? ”

"What's going on?" Mrs. Lou clenched Zheng Xian'er's hand.

Zheng Xian'er sneered: "The second sister-in-law first let the people in her house buy off my guys who decorate the Jin Pavilion and destroy my carriage; Then let my brother pretend to be a robber and tie me up to a deserted village outside the city, and even deliberately tore my clothes and pinched my shoulders to create the illusion that I had been humiliated; The 'kidnappers' deliberately whispered during this period, making me mistakenly think that the mastermind behind the scenes was Aunt An; after the 'kidnappers' successfully retired, your uncle, who was the master of the county government, lied about catching the thief and took a group of officials to the deserted village to search me out, so the news of my abduction and humiliation spread throughout the city overnight! - Second sister-in-law, am I right? ”

"You...... You're really good at making it up! Zhu Jinlan's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.

Zheng Xian'er nodded to Caifeng, who was kneeling on the ground, and the girl raised her head and said, "The third young grandmother is not bad at all!" At that time, I was ordered by my grandmother to go to the Jinge Pavilion to buy a fellow, and I saw with my own eyes that the fellow broke the axle of the carriage! Grandma sent to Zhu's house to deliver the letter to Mrs. Ning, and the old lady can order her to confront her! ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Lou to ask, Mrs. Ning had already knelt down with a "poof": "The slave should die, the slave should die!" ”

"Really?" Old Man Lou asked with a dark face.

Mrs. Ning kowtowed and said, "The third young grandmother is not bad at all! Our grandmother sent me back to find our eldest young master and second young master, and asked them to help kidnap the third young grandmother for one night, and it was best to destroy her innocence...... The eldest young master of our family said that it was the crime of killing the head, and he was unwilling to agree, and the grandmother was angry with the boss, and finally said that it was just for show, and our eldest young master was willing to agree! ”

She is the person who married the Zhu family, and the so-called "eldest young master" is naturally the eldest son of Zhu.

After Mrs. Ning finished speaking, everyone present was already filled with righteous indignation.

The glory of the Lou family is now on that archway, and Zhu Jinlan's move is clearly to destroy the entire Lou family for his own selfish interests!

Seeing that Zhu Jinlan was still dying, Zheng Xian'er added "kindly": "If the second sister-in-law still wants to say that I am making up a story to frame you, we have to sue the county government and the government office, and ask Zhu Ergongzi Zhu and Master Zhu in the county government to go to the court to face each other to see if I am lying, or if you Zhu Jinlan is crazy!" ”

Zhu Jinlan sat down and shook her head again and again: "You are lying, those are not true......"

In the crowd, Jin Zhu came out of the crowd, walked to Zhu Jinlan and knelt down: "Grandma, now that it's over, let's recruit them all!" ”

"What did you say?!" Zhu Jinlan's eyes immediately turned red.

Jin Zhu let out a long sigh: "Grandma, the third grandmother already knows, and the old lady also believes it, we can't hide it!" If you keep your mouth hard, if you bring out the poisoning of the third young master before......"

"What did you say?!" This time, Huo Ran stood up by Old Man Lou himself.

Jin Zhu's face changed, and he knelt on the ground hurriedly: "Slave maid...... The slave is willing to expose the second young grandmother's poisoning and murder of the third young master! At that time, the third young master only occasionally felt a cold, and he didn't die in the first place, it was our grandmother who added something to his medicine - our grandmother had only been married for a long time, and no one would suspect her......"

"Enough!" The old man Lou slapped the table and interrupted Jin Zhu's words: "Plug the mouth of this slut of the Zhu family, and immediately drag it to the ancestral hall and beat it to death!" ”

Zhu Jinlan roared and pounced on Zheng Xian'er, but before she could rush closer, several sturdy servants had already rushed over, grabbed her hands and feet, and gagged her.

Dragged away.

Everyone in the hall was shocked, and immediately fell silent.

Old Man Lou waved his hand heavily: "Such a poisonous woman is innocent, and no one is allowed to intercede for her!" All the slaves and maids in the Garden of Prudence were handed over to the tooth woman for sale, and the matter was handled by the Zheng family! - Now, call everyone in the mansion to go to the ancestral hall with me to watch the execution! ”
