Chapter 43: Interrogation

The East Courtyard of the Xuanwang Mansion.

The maid went back to report to Miss Biao about the green branch, saying that Mo Hua had done something wrong in the main courtyard and was locked up by Mama Rong.

"What did she do wrong?" Zhou Qianru asked.

"The green branch didn't say anything, she said it was inconvenient to tell the slave maid." The maid replied.

"Didn't you ask the others?"

"The slave asked, but the others said they didn't know."

Zhou Qianru gritted her teeth secretly. It's only been a few days since she was seized power, and these people don't take her seriously, and the people she sent can't even ask about it. She didn't believe they didn't know, they just wouldn't tell the people she sent. And that green branch, who is really getting bolder, actually said something "inconvenient to tell". It seems that she used to be too gentle with her subordinates, and once she loses the right to manage the affairs of the house, these people will not take her seriously.

Zhou Qianru asked, "What about my cousin?" Do you see your cousin? ”

The maid replied, "I didn't see the prince." I just saw Steward Zhou, Mama Rong, Qingfeng, Green Branch, and the princess sitting at a table eating, and the wind kneeling in the courtyard. ”

Zhou Qianru frowned. Ye Xiaoyan actually ate at the same table with her subordinates. It's really self-deprecating.

However, these people have eaten together, so what about the cousin, where did the cousin go? Also, why did the wind kneel in the courtyard?

Zhou Qianru faintly felt that the mistake made by the ink painting was related to the wind kneeling in the courtyard, so she said: "I'll go over and take a look for myself." ”

The main courtyard of the Xuanwang Mansion.

In the main room, Ye Xiaoyan sat on the top, Steward Zhou, Qingfeng, Mama Rong, and Green Branch sat on both sides, and the wind and ink paintings knelt in the center.

Ye Xiaoyan asked Mo Hua: "You said I scolded you, what did I scold you?" ”

Mohua lowered her head and bit her lip, she couldn't speak.

Ye Xiaoyan asked, "What did you say when you came to the door of the study to report?" ”

Mo Hua bit his lip and said, "The slave said that the slave and maid have something to ask to see the prince." ”

"What did the concubine do to you?"

The princess said......" The ink painting was a little distracted: "The princess said that the princess is not free, so ask the slave to come back at night." ”

"And then what else did Concubine Ben say?"

The ink painting was divided and said: "The princess said, the princess said......"

The ink painting knew that he couldn't escape, so he crawled to the ground, crying and begging in one breath: "The princess said that the prince is not available, the slave and maid know that it is wrong, the slave and the maid should not feel wronged, the slave and the maid should not complain to the wind, the slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid know that it is wrong, and ask the princess to spare the slave and the maid this time!" ”

Tempest was stunned when he heard this. This ink painting was deceiving him.

"Grievance?" Ye Xiaoyan noticed this word and asked, "What did I say about you, do you feel wronged?" ”

Now that the words have been spoken, Mo Hua simply spoke out and said: "At that time, the princess yelled at the slave maid, and the slave maid had never been yelled at, and felt wronged, so she ran out crying, and bumped into the wind, so she complained to the wind. ”

Yelling at her means giving her grievances? Ye Xiaoyan thought it was funny.

Ye Xiaoyan's face sank, and she said sharply: "You ask everyone in this room, which one has not been yelled at and which one has not been wronged." You are a slave, you can't stand yelling at you, what else are you doing slaves, go to be the eldest lady! ”

Steward Zhou looked at the ink painting and shook his head, this girl's heart is too high. In the past few years, she has been waiting in the East Courtyard for Miss Cousin and doesn't know about the main courtyard, the prince is in the main courtyard, especially when the prince is just crippled, the prince's temper is out, they are all frightened and silent. This maid is really spoiled in the East Courtyard.

Mo Hua cried loudly: "The slave knows that she is wrong! The slave knew she was wrong. Ask the princess to spare the slave and maid this time! ”

At this time, Zhou Qianru happened to come to the main courtyard, and when she approached the main house, she heard Ye Xiaoyan's voice teaching people from a distance, and then the crying of the ink painting.

What's going on?

Zhou Qianru walked quickly, and when she was still five steps away from the main house, Qing Fan came out to block it, saluted, and said, "Miss Biao wants to see the princess, please let the slave maid go to report first." ”

"Get out of the way!" Zhou Qianru pushed Qing Fan away, and her heart was very angry. Where did the cats and dogs come from, they dared to stand in her way. She used to be too gentle to her subordinates, but now no one dares to ignore her.

Ye Xiaoyan didn't have a good impression of the virtue of ink painting, and was about to speak, when Zhou Qianru broke in.

"Ink painting!" The first sentence Zhou Qianru came in, shouting was ink painting.

Several people in the room were a little surprised, why didn't anyone report that Miss Cousin came.

At this time, Qing Fan came in after him, and curtsied Ye Xiaoyan and said, "The slave is useless, I didn't stop Miss Biao." ”

Zhou Qianru turned around angrily and said to Qingfan: "You cheap girl dare to stop me!" ”

Qing Fan bent his knees and squatted, his head lowered, but his eyes were full of disdain. She is the princess's maid, she only listens to the princess, and she doesn't dare to stop her.

Ye Xiaoyan waved her hand at Qing Fan and said, "It's okay, go down." ”

Qing Fan withdrew.

Zhou Qianru looked in the room at this time and found that Steward Zhou, Mama Rong, Qingfeng, and Green Branch were all sitting like Ye Xiaoyan. Ink painting and wind knelt on the ground.

"What's going on?" Zhou Qianru asked about ink painting.

"Miss Table!" Seeing that Miss Mohua finally came, she cried and said: "The slave maid came to the study of the main courtyard to ask to see the prince today according to your instructions, and the princess did not let the slave and maid see the prince, and yelled at the slave and maid." The slave ran away crying and ran into the gale. The wind asked the slave and maid a few words, and took the slave and maid to see the prince. The wind broke into the study, and the slave stood in the courtyard, doing nothing. Later, the prince was carried out, and the slave maid was locked up by Mama Rong, saying that the slave and maid had made a mistake. Mo Hua wiped his tears as he spoke: "The slave really didn't do anything!" ”

Mama Rong sighed in her heart when she heard Mo Hua say this to Miss Biao. This girl is really killing herself.

Zhou Qianru turned her head to look at Mama Rong, and asked with a calm face, "Mama Rong, what did you do wrong with ink painting?" ”

Mama Rong sat calmly and said unhurriedly: "The ink painting slanders the princess, instigates the wind, disrespects and disrespects, and forgets the identity of her slave and maid. ”

Zhou Qianru looked at the ink painting, and the ink painting hurriedly said: "No, the slave doesn't have it." Miss Cousin, the slave really doesn't. ”

Zhou Qianru saw Mama Rong's attitude, and seemed to be severely punished for the ink painting, so she said: "The ink painting is my maid, I will take her back, and I will punish her severely." ”

Rong Mama said: "The ink painting is the maid of the Xuanwang Mansion, and my old wife can still control her!" ”

"You ......" Zhou Qian was angry, it seems that Mama Rong doesn't take her in her eyes anymore.

Zhou Qianru gritted her teeth and said, "Mama Rong, don't forget, you are just a slave!" ”

Mama Rong said calmly: "Yes, the old slave remembers, the old slave always remembers." ”

Zhou Qianru saw that this old woman was relying on the old and selling the old, and knew that her cousin usually had to be polite to her, so she didn't tell her, and said to Ye Xiaoyan instead.

"Princess, the ink painting is my maid, I'll take her back. If she made a mistake, I will interrogate her carefully. ”
