Chapter 22: Exposed
Aunt Xu looked at Huan Pei with a grim gaze.
The people present were also shocked, their eyes swirling back and forth on Aunt Xu and Ji Guan, with a sudden look.
Ji Wan still stood still, his hands folded in front of him, his face was quiet, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he was full of beautiful appearance, not caring at all about these eyes full of speculation between you and me.
Huan Pei is about to collapse and can't support it anymore, anyway, it's all dead horizontally and vertically, Aunt Xu's face is sweet and bitter, and she is a beauty snake alive, even if she escapes this time, I'm afraid that they will die for various reasons in less than two days, so they simply let it go, maybe the old lady can spare their lives with great mercy.
"Huanpei, don't." Ruyi and Huanpei have a good relationship in private, and when they see her expression, they know what she wants to do.
"Sister Ruyi, I really can't stand it anymore, you also know how terrible the second miss is." Huanpei looked horrified.
They are Ji Wei's personal maids, and they know Ji Wei best, what is gentle and atmospheric, but the wisdom is just a layer of skin on the outside, and she is really a delicate and willful, vicious and ruthless person inside, she likes to take the maid out when she has nothing to do, and she has carried out two of them last month, all of which have been suppressed by Aunt Xu.
Ruyi was silent and stopped persuading her.
Huan Pei knelt forward and climbed two steps, and said abruptly: "Old lady, I will say everything, I just hope that the old lady can give the slave a way to live." ”
"I have complied with your request, but you must tell the truth one by one, and you must not say anything about it." Mrs. Ji said in a fierce voice, using both temptation and coercion.
"Back to the old lady, the eldest lady was pushed off the rockery by the second lady, it was by no means an accident, it was all seen by the slave maid with her own eyes." Huan Pei took a deep breath and said quickly.
"Is that true?"
"The slave maid was picking up the handkerchief blown off by the wind on the side of the rockery, and I saw the second lady pull off the white hosta on her head and stab it the eldest lady's waist, and the eldest lady will fall off with weak legs."
Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Wan inquiringly, and Ji Guan seemed to suddenly say: "That's the case, there is indeed an undispersed bruise on my granddaughter's waist, as if it was pierced by some sharp object, I thought it was pierced by a sharp stone on a rockery." ”
"Su Qiu, take a few people to the Rose Courtyard and bring that rebel girl over." Old Madam Ji said sharply, her face was so gloomy that she could drip water.
"No, old lady." Aunt Xu is already poor at the moment, and without Ji An's protection, it is impossible for her identity alone to beat Mrs. Ji.
Secretly anxious, he glanced at the thrush, and the thrush immediately covered his stomach and wanted to run out.
"Stop her for me." Old Madam Ji's eyes turned and she shouted coldly.
Mama Lin's eyes quickly blocked the door, as steady as a rock.
"Mama, the slave just had a bad stomach at noon and wanted to go to the toilet." The thrush looked depressed and whispered.
"Without the old lady's orders, no one can leave half a step." Mama Lin was half a head taller than the thrush, looking at her condescendingly, and the mockery in her eyes was about to overflow.
The thrush's scalp is a little numb and can only hold on: "The slave and maid are really going to be unable to hold back, if they accidentally defile the old lady's place, the slave and maid will be to blame for all deaths, and the mother will do it." ”
Just your little hoof still wants to lie to me, Mama Lin looked disdainful.
The thrush returned, turned his head and shook his head at Aunt Xu, and stood silently in the corner.
In the main room of the Rose Courtyard, Ji Wei was lying on the bed with only a thin shirt, the room was extremely luxurious and gorgeous, many of which were tributes only in the palace, and the ice basin made of glazed glass was bubbling with a hint of cold.
In this hot summer day, it should have been a time of relaxation and happiness, but Ji Wei's mood was irritable, because she could only be stuffy in the house all day, her personality became more violent: "Hurry up, grind." ”
Under the windowsill, the round-faced little maid is lying on the bookcase and writing hard, although the room is very cool, her back is still in a cold sweat, listening to Ji Wei's angry scolding, the little maid is so frightened that her hand shakes, and a drop of thick ink drops on the Buddhist scriptures that will be copied and makes a slight "click" sound.
"Smack!" Ji Wei wrinkled her brows and got up from the bed and slapped her in the face.
The little maid was only seven or eight years old, her body was very thin and thin, she stumbled and fell to the ground, her forehead smashed on the corner of the table, and she immediately bled like an infusion.
"I don't know who my mother is looking for, she can't even copy a scripture, she is clumsy, and her writing is so ugly, which is like my words." Ji Wei rubbed her sore palms and looked at the little girl who fell to the ground with disgust.
"Miss, she has shed a lot of blood, why don't the slave take her down and bandage her, otherwise she will die." Amber looked sympathetically at the little maid who was already a little unconscious, and couldn't bear it.
"What kind of bag to pack, it's just a cheap life, and if you die, throw it out." Ji Wei picked up a mirror and looked at her delicate face, and said indifferently.
"Get someone to pull her out, it's bleeding all over the floor, it's disgusting, oops, it's staining my Persian carpet!" Ji Wei didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her at all, a pariah like this didn't deserve to lift her shoes,
A human life is not as good as a carpet in her eyes, Amber only felt a chill in her heart, and thought that she might have the same fate as this little girl in the future, and felt infinitely sad.
Ji Wei saw that she was still stunned and immediately scolded: "Don't go quickly, stupid as a pig, stupid to death, no eyesight at all!" Ruyi, let Ruyi come and serve,"
"Second Miss is angry, just now Mama Lin, who was next to the old lady, came over and took Sister Ruyi and Sister Huanpei away, and they haven't come back after a while." Amber hurriedly knelt down and replied carefully, for fear of accidentally angering Ji Wei.
"Why didn't you come to tell me earlier, huh! This stinky woman dared to come to the Rose Courtyard to take away my people without permission, don't think that I dare not touch her with the old lady as a backer. Ji Wei's face was hideous at the moment, and she couldn't see the gentleness and elegance on weekdays, and the maids in the room were all silent, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"Miss, Sister Su Qiu from Ci'an Hall is here, and she has brought a lot of strong mothers-in-law." Linglong gasped and went straight in.
"Stop them, what do you say?" Ji Wei's face changed slightly, only then did she realize the seriousness of the matter, and then remembered Ruyi and Huanpei who had been taken away before, and her heart was excited, and her body was soft and fell on the chair, could it be that the previous incident happened?
She has been taught these twists and turns in the inner house by Aunt Xu since she was a child, she is not a stupid person, but she is still young, she is favored on weekdays, and she is used to being willful.
"My mother has come back from Ci'an Hall?" Ji Wei looked at Linglong.
