Chapter 21: The Incident

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, how can you waste a rare opportunity to step on Aunt Xu, under the eager gaze of the old lady, Aunt Bai couldn't help but be a little proud for the first time, and strengthened her courage: "Old lady, you don't know, what the concubine saw with her own eyes that day, it was the second lady who had to climb the rockery, and it was useless for the eldest lady to persuade her, so she had to accompany the second lady to go up, otherwise, how could the eldest lady fall down." Obviously, the eldest lady cares about the affection of her sisters, but everyone in the house says that the eldest lady relied on her identity as the eldest daughter to force the second lady to accompany her to climb the rockery. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, old lady, you must not listen to her, Wei'er has always been weak and timid, and the Hefu knows it, how dare you do such a thing." Aunt Xu was full of anger, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she thought that this slut had seen Wei'er's push for Ji Wan, so it would be troublesome, but fortunately, if it was just like this, at most, it would be a willful name to copy Buddhist scriptures for a few more days, which would be better than the crime of murdering my sister, otherwise with the old lady's means, even the old man would not be able to keep her baby daughter, and the rest of her life might have to be spent in the family temple.

Although you can't put this name on Ji Guan's head, you can only retreat to the next best, anyway, with her, can't a small reputation be reversed?

"Idiot." Aunt Xu glanced at Aunt Bai mockingly, and Gu Zi wiped the cold sweat that Shi Cai was nervous about.

"What a bold man, he dared to hide such a big thing from me, you still have me in your eyes." Old Madam Ji slapped the table in anger, making a muffled sound.

Aunt Bai was startled, she was just stunned for a while, and now that she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but feel weak in her heart, saying that she knew the reason but concealed it and did not report it, and she was also jointly and severally responsible, and seeing that Mrs. Ji was so angry, her legs and stomach trembled a little, and now I only hope that the old lady will not punish her for the sake of telling the truth.

"Grandmother is angry, my aunt didn't mean to hide it." Ji Fu was so anxious that her face turned pale, but she didn't know how to continue, in the Prime Minister's Mansion where the Xu family covered the sky with one hand, their mother and daughter were already having a hard time, and they were not valued by Ji An, so they had almost no sense of existence, and the subordinates who were a little more powerful dared to show them their faces. Although her aunt is not very smart, she is also a duty-keeper, but it is because of her daughter that she has become the person who loves to study now.

"The old body can still tell the difference between right and wrong." Old Madam Ji glanced at her lightly.

"Thank you, grandmother." Ji Fu hurriedly helped Aunt Bai, who was still in a daze, to step aside, and looked at Ji Wan apologetically, although the matter had nothing to do with her aunt, she was still very upset.

"Why don't you tell your grandmother after being so wronged, it's hard to say that your grandmother can't protect you." Old Madam Ji looked at Ji Wan with a little reproach, and her kind eyes were mixed with a hint of distress.

"The granddaughter doesn't want to embarrass her grandmother." Ji Wan lowered his head and said softly, hiding the complexity in his eyes.

It's not that she didn't want to tell her grandmother, but although her grandmother loved her in her previous life, she finally gave up on her between herself and her father, from the fall of the Suguo Mansion to the time she was sued by the Xu family for a sudden illness, and in the years when she was locked up in that dark room, no one thought of her.

Although she misses her grandmother's love for her in this life, she no longer dares to rely on her completely.

"You, it's always like this, you have suffered all the losses yourself." Seeing that her expression was quite lonely, Old Madam Ji sighed, and turned to look at the others present seriously: "Don't worry, grandmother will administer justice for you." ”

"Old lady, you must not listen to the one-sided words of that slut of the Bai family, Wei'er has always respected the eldest lady, and she will never be like this." There was a hint of cunning in Aunt Xu's eyes, and there was no evidence for her empty words, so what if she didn't admit it.

"Yes or no, just ask a few maids who were present that day." Aunt Bai jumped out as if she had been trampled on.

Aunt Xu had a bad heart, but at this time she couldn't think of any other way, so she could only watch Mama Lin walk away.

After a while, Ji Wei's two personal maids, Ruyi and Huanpei, trembled and followed Mama Lin in, and limped behind them listening to the rain and falling snow.

The four of them had different expressions, listening to the rain and falling snow to see Ji Guan, both of them were very happy, Ji Wan nodded at them, and the two of them were happy again. The other two were not so lucky, and as soon as they entered the door, they met Aunt Xu's dark and warning gaze, and their faces turned pale.

"How many of you were there on the day the eldest lady fell and injured herself?" Old Madam Ji glanced at them coldly and said.

"Yes." Several people replied.

"You gave me a truthful answer as to what happened. If there is half a lie, it will be killed directly. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ruyi and Huanpei collapsed directly on the ground, their faces were pale, and they were not afraid at all when they listened to the rain and snow.

Seeing them react like this, Old Madam Ji always felt that something was wrong, even if she really lied, she wouldn't be so afraid, at most, she would be beaten, unless they had something else to hide.

The color of the eyes was unconsciously deeper, and the eyes that looked at them again were a little meaningful.

Aunt Xu saw that Mrs. Ji's expression was quite calm, but she felt weird and uneasy.

"Old lady, what the slave and maid said is true, if there is half a lie, let the slave and maid not die well, and if they die, they will not be allowed to enter reincarnation." Listening to the rain and falling snow, he recounted the story again with an angry expression, and the content of what he said was not much different from Aunt Bai.

Ruyi and Huanpei are already sweating profusely, they are the second lady's maids, but they are also the sons of the Xiangfu, their parents and brothers are on errands in the house, although Aunt Xu is holding their deed of sale, but Mrs. Ji can decide their life and death with a casual word, but they have been by Ji Wei's side for a long time, and they also have some understanding of Aunt Xu's viciousness, and they don't know how to think about it for a while, and the two of them can't say why for a long time.

"If you don't answer truthfully, drag it out and hit the twenty boards first." Old Madam Ji had already concluded that there was something wrong with the matter, and shouted loudly.

"The old lady can't be bent into a trick." Aunt Xu was already a little anxious, and looked at the two of them viciously as she spoke.

"The eldest lady really fell by herself, it's none of the second miss's business." Huanpei's face was pale, trembling like chaff, and the whole person was crumbling and about to collapse.

", do you know what you're talking about? It is not too much to slander the master even if he is directly killed, you have to think clearly before answering, don't talk nonsense and tire your family. ”
