Chapter 148, Looking for a Ring

Qu Zhizhen has been in for a while, but he hasn't come out, he only faintly heard the voice talking inside, very soft, and he couldn't hear what the people inside were saying for a while.

Not only the two couples kneeling there panicked, but Qu Qiuyan also panicked.

The handkerchief in his hand was already crumpled into a ball, then relaxed, and then kneaded again, restless.

After a long sound, hearing a voice coming out inside, Qu Zhizhen walked out with anger first, sat behind the bookcase, and looked coldly at the couple kneeling below, with sharp eyes.

Li and Liu Shan were both panicked, their heads lowered, and they didn't dare to look up again.

"Come on, pull them down, pretend to be officials, hit 20 boards, and then send them to officials." Qu Zhi said sharply.

When Li and Liu Shan, a seemingly honest and actually cunning couple, heard this, they immediately knew that the general trend had gone, and they begged for mercy urgently: "My lord's life, my lord's life." ”

If this is really sent to the official and found out again, the two of them will be the result of the distribution, which is something that the two couples never thought of, doesn't it mean that it will definitely be fine? Didn't you say someone would help them? But looking at all the people here, it seems that only the third lady on the side will help him.

"Third Miss help, Third Miss help!" Li Shi thought of whatever he thought of at this time, and immediately raised his head and shouted loudly.

"I ...... I ......" Qu Qiuyan didn't expect that the Li family wanted to save her life, and after being stunned for a moment, her face turned angry, and she snorted coldly, "You pretended to be my fourth sister and wanted me to save my life, it's really too much to deceive our Qu Mansion." ”

At this time, where would she not understand, this calculation was a failure, Qu Moying must have nothing on her right leg, how could she still have a relationship with this couple. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her, it's all done by her mother, but her mother is really stupid, and she swears that she will succeed, what is this now!

It's stupid!

Sensing Qu Zhizhen's turned gaze with coldness, Qu Qiuyan hurriedly stepped forward angrily and saluted Qu Zhizhen: "Father, since this matter is fake, we must not let them go." They came to the door to pretend to be the fourth sister, and what they said seemed to be true, so that my father and I suspected that the fourth sister really deserved to die, and my father should have killed them. ”

When she spoke, she pulled Qu Zhizhen and put the suspicions of the two people on the same level, indicating that she was indeed suspicious of Qu Moying, so she said such things, but this suspicion was the same as Qu Zhizhen.

Hearing her say this, Qu Zhizhen's gaze turned from her face to the two kneeling couples, and there were already small servants who came to pull people.

Seeing this posture and hearing that they might be killed, Li and Liu Shan struggled desperately, and said loudly: "My lord, my lord, it's not that the small ones want to come to pretend, someone deliberately let us come." ”

Qu Zhizhen's hand waved, and the little guys retreated silently.

"Say!"

"My lord, just a few months ago, a man found us, told us that we could recognize Miss Qu Si and said that she was our daughter, and also told us that Miss Qu Si was seriously ill when our daughter disappeared at that time, and gave us silver taels to secretly put a note in Mama Gu's sachet, and then came to the capital, found Yudong and said that we couldn't find anything to do, and Miss Fourth asked Yudong to help us at the back door."

"Just yesterday, someone sent a bag of pastries, let us say that it was the fourth lady who said, let us come to recognize the relatives early this morning, first talk about this matter in the morning shop outside the house, and then come to the door to recognize the relatives, we must bite the fourth miss is our biological daughter, and say that after the matter is completed, we will be given more silver taels, and send us back to our hometown."

Li Shi wiped his tears while crying, this will be really scared, 1510 said clearly, Liu Shan on the side nodded again and again, while busy kowtowing to Qu Zhizhen to ask for guilt, where else to think at this time, just want to save your life.

"What man?"

"It's a steward, he said...... said that it was his master's meaning, and then they met a few more times, but he walked very mysteriously and didn't know where he went. Li hurriedly replied, what is the answer.

"You're not going to stare at it?" Qu Zhizhen asked coldly.

"No...... Don't dare to star, he seems to have someone else brought here. Liu Shan stammered.

"Since there is nothing, how can you prove that you two are not the masterminds of this matter, murdering the official family, and she is also a lady in the boudoir, can you resist this charge?" A glimmer of light flashed in Qu Zhizhen's eyes, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were gloomy.

"No...... It's not us, my lord, it's really not us. As soon as he heard this kind of questioning, Liu Shan became more and more panicked, and shook his hands again.

"My lord, there is a ring, by the way, yesterday I brought us a ring of pastries in the house, saying that this can be said to be given by the fourth lady, and I still know this ring." Li was also panicked, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and the man who looked like a steward didn't know where to look, but this girl ring should be from Qufu.

I heard that this pastry is newly made by Qufu.

"Right...... For adults, we can recognize people, a girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, not tall, tall and short...... It's about the same as her, it's small, it looks pretty good, and adults can let us check it out one by one. Liu Shan also came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said, this happened just now, and Yahuan's appearance is still remembered.

Liu Shan was referring to Qingju beside Qu Qiuyan, who was compared by them in such a similar way, Qingju's face turned pale, and he almost didn't stop, and hurriedly lowered his head.

"Come on, call all the twelve or thirteen-year-old maids in the house to the courtyard." Qu Zhizhen said with a blushing face.

The little maid went down and ordered, and after a while, the courtyard was full of Yahuan from Qufu, all of whom were about twelve or thirteen years old, and Li and Liu Shan were pulled down to recognize people.

But after turning around, I found that I hadn't seen any of the rings in front of me, and I was immediately a little blind.

"Do you recognize anyone?" Qu Zhizhen stood under the porch, looked at the couple and recognized people, saw them stop, and asked.

Qu Moying re-tied her eyes, helped Mrs. Tai to sit under the chair under the porch, and quietly watched the rogue couple recognize people.

"Report to your lordship...... All...... It's not ......," Liu Shan was so frightened that he was about to cry.

"There are some people missing from the house today?" Mrs. Tai turned to Qu Qiuyan and asked, "Twelve or thirteen-year-old Yahuan?" ”

Now it is Qu Qiuyan who is in charge of the house, although there is also Luo's help to deal with it.

"I don't know about this, Qingju is going to ask who is out of the house today?" Qu Qiuyan instructed Qingju who was standing aside.

Qingju responded, and after a while, the news came back and forth, there are still many twelve or thirteen-year-old Yahuan who are out of the house today, there are two in the Yu family, there is also one in Qu Qiuyan, and there is one in Mrs. Tai's yard, and even there are two in the front yard.

Qingju stepped forward to report the matter, everyone had a reason to go out, and one of Mrs. Tai's yard was sent out by Mrs. Tai, and the two in the front yard were sent out by the steward of the front yard, without the slightest mistake.

"Pull people down and punish them with twenty rods, and then throw them at the gate of the house, saying that they are impersonating the crime of officials." Qu Zhizhen said coldly, he didn't plan to entangle any longer, he naturally recognized people in his heart, didn't someone happen to go out from the Yu family!

Two servants dragged the couple down.

"Mother, let's stop this for now!" Qu Zhizhen turned around, Mrs. Tai stretched her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and said tiredly.

Mrs. Tai glanced at him, knowing that he was sloppy, she snorted dissatisfiedly, stood up and took Qu Moying's hand and said: "Shadow girl, let's go back first, since this matter is your father's business, he will naturally give you a clear explanation, if someone comes to the door today, and someone will come to the door tomorrow to make trouble, our Qufu will not become a big joke in the capital." ”

"Yes, grandmother!" Qu Moying nodded softly and helped Mrs. Tai to walk out.

"Grandmother, I'll go with you." After Qu Qiuyan was stunned for a moment, she hurriedly said and walked to Mrs. Tai's side to help Mrs. Tai's other side.

"You stay and help your father deal with this matter, now the inner courtyard is in charge of you, if something like this happens, the inner courtyard will have to be put in order, if it goes on like this, the entire inner courtyard will be in chaos, check your fourth sister's sachet in the house, why is it gone." Mrs. Tai coldly reprimanded.

Then he took Qu Moying's hand and left, without smiling at Qu Qiuyan.

Qu Qiuyan, who was standing in place, showed a trace of jealousy on her face, gritted her teeth hard, and suppressed the resentment in her heart, obviously they are all granddaughters, why are they only good to Qu Moying, but they are very indifferent to themselves, and even hint that this matter is related to themselves, what does this matter have to do with themselves?

At most, I just said a few more words, and the whole thing was mastered by my mother, so why did I blame myself again.

Sure enough, she is an annoying old woman, old and not dead.

"Father, where are you going?" Suppressing the resentment in her heart hard, Qu Qiuyan turned her head, but saw Qu Zhizhen striding out, and hurriedly asked.

"I'm going to see your mother." Qu Zhizhen didn't reply, only when he spoke, he emphatically added the last two words, which made people sound like gritting their teeth!

Seeing Qu Zhizhen's angry appearance when he left, Qu Qiuyan's whole body was cold, and the whole person was trembling, and he reached out to hold Qingju's hand and pressed hard, and tears appeared in Qingju's painful eyes.

"Shall I go over and have a look?" Qu Qiuyan lowered her voice and asked, staring at Qu Zhizhen's back, she could guess that even if there was no real evidence, it would inevitably fall on her mother, her father was going to ask for the guilt, so would she go or not, if she went, after making a fuss, she would also lose face, and she might even lead the disaster to herself.

But if she doesn't go, will my grandmother and father think she's too cool afterwards?

"Miss, the matter between Madame and the second master, you can't help it as a daughter, deal with the matter here first, and then go to see Madame later!" Qingju has been by Qu Qiuyan's side for so long, of course she knows what Qu Qiuyan means, and she forcibly endured the pain and gave her a step along with her wishes.

Qu Qiuyan's hand loosened, her face relaxed, she looked at the trembling little girls standing in the courtyard, her expression became calm, and she nodded: "Yes, I'll deal with the matter here first and then go to see my mother." ”

It was as if she was going to see it, but she couldn't leave for a while......
