Chapter 17: Fools
As soon as the words fell, Ying'er immediately anxiously defended: "Second Miss! Why are you framing slaves like this! Did the slave denounce you because of the slave? ”
"The slave has been with the eldest lady for ten years, and she will never do such a thing!"
After speaking, Ying'er began to kowtow with a bang, and the ground was slammed.
Her eyes were red, and she looked at Shen Xueyi with hope.
Shen Xueyi really didn't disappoint her, she obeyed Master Shen, and her words were firm: "Father, Ying'er's personality, my daughter still knows her very well." She never lied to me, presumably this time ......"
"So you mean, I'm lying?" Shen Xixi hugged his shoulders and looked at her with a smile.
Shen Xueyi gritted her teeth, "Although my sister is a little greedy for fun on weekdays, her nature is not bad, I think, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter......
Old Man Shen fell into deep thought.
The eldest lady categorically would not let go of this excellent opportunity, she pondered for a moment, as if for the sake of Shen Xixi, she opened her mouth.
"Sir, tomorrow is the wedding of the past. If such an ugly thing happens before the big wedding, everyone must not want to see it. ”
"If it spreads, it may have a bad impact on the past!"
"Or else...... Since Xi Xi kept saying that she didn't take the jewelry, why don't we send someone to carefully search her room to prove her innocence, and save yourself from a theft of tongue in the future, what do you think? ”
Wait until the jewels are scoured out of her little house, and see what else she has to quibble about!
Shen Xixi's complexion changed suddenly, and he immediately adjusted his expression, and said a little flustered: "Father, isn't this right?" ”
Seeing that Shen Xixi was so flustered, the eldest lady was even more sure about this matter.
"What's so bad? Could it be that all the words you just said were all bluffing your father? ”
Shen Xixi straightened his chest slightly, as if he was emboldening himself.
"Of course not, but ...... What if I don't find gold or silver jewelry in my house? You don't just say sorry and act as if it didn't happen, right? ”
"If not, the eldest lady will definitely give you justice!"
After speaking, the eldest lady waved her sleeves and walked out first.
Shen Xixi looked at her back, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and scolded in a low voice.
"Idiot."
Just this IQ, a typical drag oil bottle!
Shen Xueyi's eyebrows twisted slightly, her fingers unconsciously wrapped around the handkerchief in her hand, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
But Ying'er, who kept crying at her feet, seemed to be constantly feeding her reassurance.
"Miss, you must believe the slave maid, what the slave and maid say, there is no half a lie!"
Shen Xueyi opened her mouth silently and gently patted her shoulder twice.
"Get up, we need to go too."
"Yes."
The group came to the firewood room where Shen Xixi lived.
Seeing this, Shen Xixi's personal maid ran over in a little panic, and after saluting one by one, she came behind her and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's the ......?"
Shen Xixi didn't speak.
The eldest lady was dressed in a luxurious dogwood pattern robe, stood at the door proudly, and ordered the family: "Search for me!" ”
The five family members barbarized inside, not so much searching as sabotage.
The quilt was torn off and thrown to the ground, and he didn't forget to step on his feet.
The tables and chairs were all knocked down, and the legs of the stools, which were not strong, swayed and fell apart.
They were also afraid that Shen Xixi had done some secret passages and darkrooms, so they couldn't wait to lift the floor to check.
The only thing that raised the question was the locked box under the bed.
Seeing this, the eldest lady hooked up a smile on the corner of her lips, "Shen Xixi, open it." ”
"Auntie, isn't this very good? Inside was my embroidered wedding dress, as well as some jewelry left behind by my mother's departure. The things of the dead, you want to move too? ”
The more Shen Xixi stopped it, the more it showed that there were ghosts in it!
Otherwise, what is her body shaking?
"Hmph, is it as you said, just open it and see!" After the eldest lady finished speaking, she gave the old lady beside her a look.
The old mother nodded and stepped forward immediately.
However, before his hand touched the lock, he was grabbed by Shen Xixi's wrist.
"If you are so disrespectful to the deceased, aren't you afraid that she will come back to you at night to talk about ideals and life?"
Scold!
That's what I'm looking for!
The eldest lady sneered fearlessly.
I've killed that slut for so many years, and I haven't seen her come back once!
"Father, you don't care?"
Master Shen looked at Shen Xixi's gaze, and there was a little stubbornness in his dark eyes.
But what he didn't see was the monstrous coldness and irony in his eyes.
"If you didn't lie, open it and let us see."
Shen Xixi actually didn't have any hope for Master Shen, and the answer was obvious.
The eldest lady frowned, seeing that the matter was about to come to light, so don't make any troubles.
So, she lifted her chin at one of the housekeepers.
The family knew it, picked up a stone on the ground, and smashed it towards the lock!
Squeak –
When the box was opened, there was a dull sound.
The capacity of the box was very small, and when the wedding dress was taken out, there was only a rusty silver bracelet left, and some jewelry that could be bought at will for three or five taels of silver.
The eldest lady froze in place.
Master Shen's expression changed.
Ying'er took two steps forward in disbelief, her eyes widened like cow's eyes, and the green tendons on her forehead burst out from excessive anxiety.
"How is that possible...... How is this possible! It must have been where she secretly hid after she got it back! There was no ...... in the house There is no ...... in the box either Underground, she must have buried her jewelry in the ground! ”
The sharp tone is particularly abrupt.
Shen Xueyi's face changed suddenly, and she immediately shouted, "Enough!" Shut up! Now, do you still want to wronged your sister! ”
Obviously, they fell into Shen Xixi's trap.
Ying'er looked at her in surprise, "Miss, don't you believe in slaves?" Slaves...... Yes! ”
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face!
Shen Xueyi's hands trembled after beating her, tears rolled in her eyes, as if it was the first time she had punished her subordinates, and she turned her head guiltily and didn't look at her.
"I think I'm just too indulgent to let you be so lawless!"
She took a few big breaths of air, stabilized her mind, and said, "Father, sister, it's me who can't discipline me and make such a joke......
Shen Xixi looked at them with a chuckle, "I really want to know, how to give the justice that the eldest lady just promised me?" ”
