Jinling Xie Mansion, all of them are official eunuchs, the dynasty changed, and the Xie Mansion moved north.

In the courtyard of the three girls of Xie Mansion, the maid Ah Jing was sorting out the girl's calligraphy and ink, and the third girl, Xie Qingzhi, picked a few words and collected them separately, and instructed: "These few will be cleaned up on the last day, and the third brother may have to check them." ”

Ah Xun should get down, looked out the window at the heavy snow that had just stopped, and reminded herself in a low voice: "Thick clothes should be carried by the girl, I heard that Bianjing is much colder than Jinling." ”

Qingzhi chuckled: "It's enough to bring a few pieces to wear on the road, and when we arrive in Bianjing, it's already spring." ”

"The spring cold is steep, but you can't ......be careless," Ah Jing just remembered himself.

These days, the Xie Mansion is busy with moving matters, and the old lady said that everything is messy, and she even went to He'an Yuan to ask for peace and was exempted, and Qingzhi was quite surprised to see the second girl in the big room standing in the courtyard at first glance.

"Second sister?" She greeted the door with a smile, and hurriedly invited the second girl, Xie Qinghan, into the house, "It's cold outside, second sister, come in and warm up." ”

Qingzhi pulled Xie Qinghan into the house and said with a light smile: "Second sister, have you picked it up?" I'm still in a mess here, snubbing my second sister. ”

Xie Qinghan has a soft temperament and has never liked to talk much, and Qingzhi is used to it, but when she looked closely, she found that the second sister's eyes were red, as if she had cried.

Qingzhi didn't ask much, and beckoned the maid to bring some preserved fruits, but Xie Qinghan suddenly took her hand and sobbed softly: "Third sister...... Can you help me? ”

Qing Zhi's heart tightened, and she asked on her face, "What's the matter, second sister, what's wrong?" ”

Xie Qinghan sobbed for a while, and said intermittently: "It's the eldest sister, she accused me of stealing her clothes, but I didn't, third sister, you believe me, I didn't." ”

"Second sister, speak slowly, you have no beginning or end, and I don't understand what you say."

Qingzhi wanted to help Xie Qinghan sit down first, but Xie Qinghan was a little anxious, and kept holding Qingzhi's hand and didn't let go, "Do you remember the red brocade cloak that the eldest sister often wears?" Actually, I also have one, but I didn't dare to take it out again after I saw her pass it, aren't I busy packing up my things these days, but it happened that she came to my yard and let her see it, and then she ...... She said that she had lost it, and that I had stolen it. Third sister, I bought it myself, not stolen it. ”

"The second sister said the truth."

"But you also know that my grandmother and mother are looking at her, and I'm afraid they won't believe me, third sister, do you say that you bought it with me? You help me testify, and if we both say so, my grandmother will believe it. Xie Qinghan pulled Qingzhi and was about to go out.

Qing Zhi stood still and said patiently: "Second sister, according to your character, I naturally believe that you will not steal the eldest sister's clothes, but this is a very simple matter, you tell the truth, the eldest sister has no evidence to prove that you stole it, and the grandmother and eldest aunt will not say anything." But if I help you make perjury and expose your flaws, it will really hurt the second sister. ”

Xie Qinghan cried and shook his head: "I, I can't talk about her, you know, she always bullies me, I can't ...... at all"

Qingzhi was very helpless, the eldest sister and the second sister were both people in the big house, what could she mix with a second-room maid, and she didn't know how to send the second sister, but she saw that Mama Zou from He'an Yuan came in person.

Mama Zou was very polite to the two girls, and said with a smile: "Second girl, third girl, the old lady invited the two girls to He'an Garden." ”

Qingzhi's heart was relieved, and she replied: "Trouble Mama Zou to go this way, let's go." ”

On the way to He'an Yuan, Mama Zou walked in front, and Xie Qinghan clung to Qingzhi in the back, begging her to help.

Qingzhi instructed softly: "Second sister, you will tell the truth later, grandmother will administer justice for you, if you get involved with me, this matter will be really troublesome." ”

But Qingzhi arrived at the old lady's courtyard before entering the house, and before she could come forward to say goodbye, the old lady asked her directly: "Your second sister said that the brocade cloak was bought by you with her, yes or no?" ”
