Listening to Duanmuqing's words, it seemed that there was something else in Mama Li's words, and everyone's attention was immediately mobilized again.

Li Ningshuang said with a cold face: "What does the eldest lady mean by this, although Mama Li should indeed be punished for being negligent and slack, but she is also an old man in the house, what is the matter, will she be so unmeasured?" ”

Too lazy to bother with her, Duanmuqing gently stepped aside and looked at Duanmuhe quietly.

When the old lady saw her like this, she knew that there must be something inside, so she immediately said to Duanmu He: "Feiyuan, what the hell is going on, what do you have to say in front of so many people, you can make it clear." ”

"Bring someone up." This is the first time Duanmuhe has been strong in front of everyone, and it is not at all as gentle and elegant as he usually is.

Han Lingyan looked at Duanmuhe and then at Duanmuqing, and was surprised, he had a certain friendship with Duanmuhe, knowing that he had always been a person who didn't like to be in the limelight, but he didn't expect to be able to do such a thing for this sister.

In the curiosity of everyone, I saw that a little maid was brought up, but as soon as she saw this posture in the flower hall, her legs were a little weak, and as soon as the guards on both sides let go, they immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Who are you?" Duanmu Jun's voice was not as gentle as usual, with some sternness that he had never seen before.

"Slave maid...... The slave maid is on an errand in the back garden, helping ...... Help manage...... Manage the lanterns. ”

When the little maid saw these people present, she probably knew that it was because of the rumored incident of the county lord falling into the water, and it was not a good thing for anyone to put such a big event on the table, so she didn't know why she was called, and she seemed a little helpless.

"Let me ask you, who did you see before the county lord of Anning fell into the water today?" Duanmuhe slowed down his voice at this time, and his gaze was not so sharp.

The little maid made up her mind and said: "Today, there are distinguished guests coming to the house, and Mama Li is afraid that there will be not enough manpower, so let, the maids who are a little deserter in the back garden, will go to Guangluxuan to help."

Later, for some reason, Mama Li came again, saying that there were too many distinguished guests inside, so let's not go inside, so we were all waiting outside, in case we needed someone inside.

After a while, first the eldest lady helped the fourth lady out and went to the Wumo Pavilion, and then the people inside came out, and Mama Li ordered many people to go inside to clean up, saying that the fourth lady vomited. But I wasn't placed in and just waited outside.

Then not long after, a little maid came over and asked me to go to Steward Zhao, saying that Mama Li had something to tell him, and it was by the lake behind the rockery. ”

"You are talking nonsense, where did I call you!" Mama Li, who was kneeling on the side, said sharply when she heard this.

"Mama Li, my father is asking! Are you intimidating? Duanmu Qing's voice was unhurried, but in such a serious hall, it had a very good effect.

Sure enough, the eyes of the old lady and Duanmu Jun both swept towards Mama Li, making her dare not speak immediately.

"Steward Zhao, you said, were you called by this little girl?"

looked at Mama Li, and then looked at Li Ningshuang, who was holding back her anger, and shook her head and said, "No, the little one has already made it clear, and the little one passed by when he heard the sound of falling water." ”

At this time, everyone also understood a little that this was Duanmuqing brother and sister competing with these two subordinates! I couldn't help but change my mentality again, and I wanted to see what the result would be.

"Steward Zhao, it's obvious that I called you according to Mama Li's instructions! Then you said you didn't need me to follow, so I walked away. ”

Although this little girl is timid, her head is not stupid, she pondered it in her head, she didn't do anything wrong from beginning to end, and saying it honestly may affect the outcome of the whole thing and be hated.

But if you help Mama Li and Zhao to manage things, then you are completely involved in this matter, and the affairs of the above people, she is a little maid involved, and there is absolutely no good fruit to eat, so she immediately decides what to say.

"Oh? Steward Zhao said that you don't have to follow? A playful smile flashed across Duanmu Qing's face.

The little maid nodded firmly, "That's exactly what Steward Zhao said, and then I'll go find Xiaohong Xiaolan and them." ”

"Mama Li is also considered to be older in the house, and the treasury is still in charge of Mama Li, right?"

Duanmu Qing looked at her with a smile, and then said: "Steward Zhao's affairs in the inner courtyard of the Consul General's Mansion, I don't know if there is anything between the two of you that can't be said in front of outsiders!" ”

Indeed, as Duanmuqing said, Mama Li plays a pivotal role among the servants in the inner courtyard, but she also has an important identity as Li Ningshuang's companion.

Duanmu Qing's words immediately reminded Duanmu Jun of Manager Bai, who was disposed of because he bypassed himself and worked hard for Li Ningshuang in private, so that the Li family could cover the sky with one hand in the mansion.

Now this Steward Zhao seems to be a person who doesn't know who the master is, and the inner and outer courtyards are clearly Li Ningshuang's people, and he can't help but look at Li Ningshuang, only to see that a jade hairpin with rich flowers on her head is very eye-catching.

It was rewarded by the queen mother on her birthday, and her heart moved, and she remembered that now the court is dumping, because of the flood in Yunnan, the second prince and the fifth prince openly quarreled, and the intensity of the contradiction can be seen.

"Feiyuan, what do you think?"

Duanmu Jun's voice was very cold, which shocked the onlookers, looking at this posture, it was necessary to strictly investigate.

"Second uncle, this matter was originally felt unusual, how could the county lord suddenly lose his footing and fall into the water? There were only these two people there, and it would be strange to say that there really wasn't anything.

Now that everyone is here, in order to give Jingyanghou an explanation, we still have to explain this matter clearly in front of everyone, and now the child suggests that these two people should be properly investigated. ”

"Master Hou can't!" Li Ningshuang almost immediately subconsciously stopped him.

It wasn't until Duanmu Jun looked at the past with a cold gaze that Li Ningshuang came back to his senses and eased his expression, "It's the end of the year now, it's really not good to shout and kill at home, and our Hou Mansion has always been kind to people, so I'm afraid it will hurt people's hearts." ”

In fact, it doesn't mean that the use of torture at this time will make the Yongding Marquis Mansion have a reputation for abusing people.

"The second aunt is too worried," Duanmu He smiled slightly, "The child didn't plan to torture, but just wanted to send someone to search the things of these two people, and if there was anything, they could also find some clues." ”

"This ......"

Over the years, how many things Steward Zhao has helped her do, others don't know, doesn't she know it herself?

If it is found out that she is in charge of what Zhongfeng has done all these years, can she still keep her right to be in charge?

But where can she say anything at this time, can't she let it be checked? Isn't that three hundred taels of silver in this place?

"Does the second aunt have any suggestions?" Duanmuhe's voice was not loud, but it made her feel a persecuting momentum.

Shaking his head sluggishly, his face ashen, "No." ”

Mama Li understands that this is related to the death of the county lord of Anning, and it is clearly to take care of Mrs. Li!

Thinking about what happened today, she couldn't help but look at the girl.

But he just met the other party's gaze, and at that moment, Duanmu Qing suddenly smiled, looking extremely bright, but it made Mama Li shiver in such a warm flower hall.

While speaking, Duanmuhe had already asked the little servants in the mansion to divide into two ways and go to the houses of Mama Li and Steward Zhao to search respectively.

Mama Li and Steward Zhao's faces were pale, and both of them knew that this time, the two of them would lose their errands at best, and at worst, they were afraid that they would be delivered to the government.

Thinking of the future situation, Mama Li is still hard-boned, but Steward Zhao collapsed first, he is different from Mama Li, she followed Li Ningshuang from the Li Mansion, and she should work hard for her, but he is the son of the Duanmu family, and he climbed to his current position step by step.

If it falls at this time, it will really be a loss of three or four lifetimes of old faces.

Having made up his mind, Steward Zhao immediately knelt down and stepped forward, grabbed the hem of Duanmujun's clothes, and snorted with tears in his eyes, "Master, master spare your life, little ......"

When Mama Li and Li Ningshuang heard this, they were shocked at the same time, this is clearly about to defect, if only something is found, it is still limited, if he defects, he can say anything.

The action was faster than her brain, and Mama Li immediately stepped forward to grab Steward Zhao, "Steward Zhao, what do we have to say, wait for the second young master to take the evidence, and the body is not afraid of the shadow." ”

Where did Steward Zhao take care of so much at this time, and he immediately wanted to get rid of Mama Li, who thought that her hand was strong, and she didn't shake it off for a while.

The two of them suddenly pulled in the lobby.

The corners of Duanmu Qing's mouth rose slightly, and then a piece of jade pendant fell from Mama Li's body, but it rolled around with a gurgling and fell straight to Duanmu Jun's feet.

When Duanmu Jun saw it, he was immediately furious, and his eyes looking at the two people were also full of disdain.

Just because he recognized this piece of jade pendant, it was given to him by Steward Zhao when he was just promoted to the manager of the inner courtyard, and asked him to hand it over to his lady, which was regarded as thanking him for the contribution of the two of them to the Duanmu family, but who knew that it was rolling down on Mama Li at this time.

"Isn't this Zhao in charge? I remember that my father asked him to give it to Mrs. Zhao, how could he ......" Duanmu Cang, who had been quietly watching the development of the situation, shouted out first.

It was really a little impossible to turn this corner, and suddenly such a stubble appeared, and he would suddenly speak out, and as soon as he spoke, he realized what he meant by what he said, so he immediately stopped.

It's just that at this time, they realized that it was too late, and everyone looked at the two people kneeling in the hall with a taste of disdain in their eyes.
