Chapter 51: Except for Her Helpers
"Miss Biao has only been in the house for a few days, and there are some things that she naturally doesn't know. Seeing that the Zhang family was speechless, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Red Sleeves was originally working in Mrs.'s yard, but this broken mouth made Mrs. angry when she said the wrong thing, so she sent someone to another place." Miss Cousin was in a hurry, and I saw that she had a sense of remorse, so I sent someone to Miss Cousin, who would have thought that this maid would not change her bad habits, and in order to save her life, she would even separate Mrs. and Miss Cousin!
Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and grabbed the red sleeve's hair, and was about to drag it out, but the red sleeve screamed in pain, constantly struggling and crying: "Miss, what I said is the truth!! It was really the lady who instructed the slave and maid, and the slave and maid would not dare to frame the young lady even if they had the courage to do so! The slave and the maid were wronged! Miss ......!"
Mrs. Zhang covered the mouth of the red sleeves, and her face was ruthless: "You, you dare to separate the relationship between Mrs. and Miss Cousin at this juncture!" Mrs. Zhang slapped the red sleeves.
Tian Xiang knelt on the side of the red sleeves and trembled, the red sleeves kept glancing at her with her spare eyes, expecting her to save herself if she could say a word, but Tian Xiang was too much to protect herself, how dare she say anything to save her.
Red Sleeves was dragged all the way to the threshold by Mrs. Zhang's hair, and Mrs. Zhang was about to carry her out.
"Wait. Shi Qingluo, who was sitting at the top, spoke suddenly.
"I haven't finished the trial yet, Mama Zhang is so anxious to take people down. Shi Qingluo covered the tea lid and put it on the table, "Even if it is to sow discord, I want to hear what this maid can come up with." ”
Mrs. Zhang was a little flustered, and struggled to say: "Miss Cousin, a servant who is full of lies, naturally she doesn't like what she says, why waste time on Miss......"
"It doesn't matter, I have time. Shi Qingluo didn't seem to see Mrs. Zhang's embarrassment, waved his hand, and Heyi, who was beside him, stepped forward and pulled the red sleeves out from under Mrs. Zhang's hands.
Red sleeves wiped her tears and threw herself at Shi Qingluo's feet, "Miss save me! Help me! I don't want to die yet, I don't want to be sold to the flower kiln, the slaves and maids know that they are wrong, the slaves and maids are all instructed by the lady! If the slave and the maid lie, the sky will not be able to thunder and die!"
Zhang's hand hanging in front of him trembled slightly, "Qingluo, I'm your aunt, you don't believe a maid's words, but you don't believe me, right?"
For Zhang's temptation, Shi Qingluo was indifferent.
The red sleeves grabbed the corner of Shi Qingluo's clothes, as if grasping the last straw, she raised her hand to Tian Xiang, who was cowering in the corner, and cried: "Miss, I didn't do it alone, Tian Xiang, Tian Xiang is the one who put the letter under Miss's pillow! Tian Xiang, you speak!"
Tian Xiang's crying pear blossom brought rain, knelt down to the hall, and kept kowtowing: "The slave and the maid don't know anything, the slave and the maid don't know anything!" The letter was put by the slave and maid in the red sleeves, and the slave and maid didn't know anything about it, and the young lady spared the slave and maid, and the slave and the maid didn't dare anymore!"
"It was Madame's order!" Red Sleeves continued, "The last time the second lady came to trouble Miss Biao, she was disfigured, and Madame threatened the slave and maid that if she didn't do it, she would sell the slave and maid to the flower kiln! ”
Shi Qingluo kicked the red sleeves aside and looked at Zhang with playfulness, "Does Mrs. Ding want to say anything!"
Zhang didn't dare to look at her, the handkerchief in her hand was tightly held in the palm of her hand, and after a while, Zhang gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "I ordered it." ”
Zhang Shi gasped, his eyes red: "Qingluo, my aunt is just impulsive, Xiuxiu is my only daughter, she was punished by the princess and disfigured, I feel uncomfortable, and someone instigated it, so my aunt committed a crime for a while......"
"Instigated? Who is the lady next to the lady who instigated the lady?" Shi Qingluo held his chin in one hand, and looked like he was listening attentively.
Zhang thought for a moment, and was about to talk nonsense about the two maids who didn't matter, and He Yi, who was standing behind Shi Qingluo, spoke lightly
"Miss is confused, how could it be instigated by the people around Madame. Mama Zhang is so protective of the master, at first glance, she is very heartfelt and intelligent, with Mama Zhang by her side, who can deceive Madame. "Heyi is a pearl in every word: "Unless it is Mama Zhang, who else can there be." ”
Zhang's and Zhang's mother-in-law's faces changed greatly.
Shi Qingluo seemed to be enlightened, and said with a smile: "It's really that I'm confused, and I haven't thought about it thoroughly, ah! If that's the case, wouldn't it be ......?"
Mrs. Zhang knelt down in a panic and blurted out: "The old slave doesn't have it, the old slave is so heartfelt to his wife......!
"It's heartfelt, in order to vent his wife's anger, he came up with such a method, isn't it?" He Yi continued to mend the knife, and there would be no respite for Mrs. Zhang.
Shi Qingluo's eyes were full of smiles, and he nodded in agreement.
Zhang's body trembled slightly, and even Heyi hated it now, no wonder it was Shi Qingluo's maid, and her speech was as ugly as her!
"Mama Zhang didn't!" Zhang slapped the table and glared at Heyi with a displeased face, "Master speaks, which round will you get a maid with many mouths!"
"I think what Heyi said is reasonable!" Shi Qingluo looked at Mama Zhang with a cold face, "I know that Madame and Mama Zhang have a deep relationship, how can Diao Nu, who may come up with such a poisonous scheme, let her get away!"
"Shi Qingluo!" Zhang couldn't bear it anymore, and his sharp shout was almost like penetrating his eardrums.
Shi Qingluo Yun looked at her lightly, and said with a low chuckle: "Why, Madame is really so reluctant to her? Didn't Madame still hate this person who sow discord before? Madame is so reluctant, is it possible that she doesn't regret what she did to Qingluo at all?"
"I ...... I ......" Zhang gritted his teeth, his eyes turned red with anger, and he threatened in a low voice: "Shi Qingluo, don't go too far!"
Shi Qingluo sneered: "Since this is the case, then this matter is very serious, Madame hates me to the core, what is the use of giving these false gifts." Heyi, send Mrs. Ding out!"
"Don't!"
He Yi was about to step forward, but Mama Zhang suddenly pounced, her face turned white, and she trembled: "The old slave admits it, the old slave admits it! It was the old slave who couldn't see Miss Biao, so he gave Madame a plan, it was all the old slave's fault, Madame was truly repentant! Ask Miss Bi to forgive Madame! The old slave is willing to be punished!"
Mama Zhang knew that if Shi Qingluo really didn't let go this time, the Zhang family would not be able to escape the princess's punishment.
As a person close to the Zhang family, it is even more difficult for her to escape the responsibility, rather than being rubbed to death and resurrection in the palace, it is better to admit it happily.
Zhang looked at Mama Zhang's appearance of 'compromising and seeking perfection', her eyes were red with emotion, she covered her mouth and turned her head away, and couldn't bear to look at it again.
Shi Qingluo hooked his lips, "Mama Zhang dares to act." In that case, then I will overstep my bounds. Heyi, go and call a few guards, I see that Mama Zhang is old, and she can't stand it with more boards, so it's good to play twenty boards. ”
Mama Zhang was covered in sweat, and kept looking up at Zhang, still hoping that Zhang could help her say a few words, but Zhang just looked at her with red eyes, looking unbearable, but she didn't say a word.
He Yi quickly brought the guards over, put a bench in the courtyard, and pressed Mama Zhang up.
Mama Zhang has been pampered all these years, and she can't stand wailing as soon as she goes down, and she keeps begging Shi Qingluo for mercy.
Shi Qingluo stood in front of the door with Zhang's family, and only after more than a dozen boards did Shi Qingluo say leisurely: "Madam, Mama Zhang has made such a big mistake, and it is not suitable to continue to stay with Madame anymore, and when this board is finished, it is time to send her home to care for the elderly, right?"
Shi Qingluo asked with a smile.
Zhang pinched the handkerchief, bit his lip and did not refute.
Mama Zhang was so angry that she fainted on the stool.
