Chapter 125: Fishing in Troubled Waters
Lu Qiao's face is snow-white, she is already from a poor family, and she was sold into Zhang's mansion by her family since she was a child, although she has been Zhang Jiayao's personal maid, but Zhang Jiayao has a short temper, and she usually likes to take out anger on the people around her when something goes wrong, and she, as her personal maid, is naturally the first to bear the brunt every time.
But despite this, she still gritted her teeth and persevered in such days, the reason is that as a personal maid of the young lady, when she goes out of the house to get married, the main family will give a dowry twice as much as that of an ordinary maid. It just so happened that she had reached the age of leaving the house this year, and she secretly mentioned it to Zhang Jiayao some time ago, and she may have promised to send her out of the house in a beautiful way.
But now, she is going to sell herself to Renyazi, what hope does she have for her life! Thinking of this, Green raised his head openly, and said with red eyes: "Miss, the slave didn't steal this coral bracelet!" ”
Xiao Yixian on the side saw that Lu Qiao's lips were pale and her eyes were full of bloodshots, but there was a faint look of desperation on her face, and she couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in her heart, she hurriedly grabbed Zhang Jiayao: "Cousin Yao, maybe this Lu Qiao is really wronged." Let's not sell her yet, but bring her to you and ask her. ”
didn't see Xiao Yixian's frequent eyes, Zhang Jiayao said: "Cousin Xian, I know that you have always been kind, but I will not stay by my side as an evil servant." As she spoke, she glanced disdainfully at Lu Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Eat inside and crawl outside...... Hahaha! Lu Qiao muttered a few words softly, and then suddenly raised his head and laughed, his sad voice was particularly terrifying.
Zhang Jiayao was immediately furious: "You, you dare to laugh!" Who gave you the guts! ”
Seeing this, Xiao Yixian secretly said in her heart, and hurriedly said: "This maid may be crazy, hurry!" Hurry up and bring her back. ”
"You're crazy! I'm not crazy! I'm very conscious now! Lu Qiao suddenly waved away the hand that was stretched out to her, pointed at Zhang Jiayao and said: "Miss, you keep saying that I stole the bracelet, but why did this bracelet fall off, and why did you come here to listen to the rain pavilion today, you know these best!" ”
Zhang Jiayao was taken aback, and immediately reacted to what she wanted to do, "What Cousin Xian said is, hurry!" This is crazy! Shut her mouth and take her away! ”
I thought that Lu Qiao was just a maid, and she didn't have the courage to talk nonsense, but now she wants to expose her in public! This is not good, if it is known that she is deliberately trying to frame Xiao Yiran today, it will be all over! Zhang Jiayao was suddenly so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and hurriedly commanded the subordinates around her to restrain Lu Qiao first, in case she could say a word.
But when it comes to this, how could Xiao Yiran let her take Lu Qiao away? The corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she immediately blocked in front of Lu Qiao: "Cousin Yao, what are you doing in such a hurry to take her away?" I think this girl seems to be going to say something, why don't we listen to her first? ”
Zhang Jiayao was angry and anxious: "It's just a crazy, how can you believe what she said?" Hurry up! Shut her mouth first! She pointed to the green warp.
Several maids immediately went to the handkerchief to block Lu Qiao's mouth, and Lu Qiao kept struggling.
Seeing this, Xiao Yiran immediately asked, "Lu Qiao, what do you mean when you say that Cousin Yao knows that this bracelet has been dropped?" ”
Midori dodged the handkerchief that was shoved into her mouth, her head kept shrinking back, and finally found a gap and shouted, "It's Miss!" It's all that Mademoiselle asked me to do! She was the one who asked me to secretly keep the bracelet in your jewelry case! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned, and the air instantly fell into a terrifying silence, and even the few maids who clamped her involuntarily let go of their hands, and looked at Zhang Jiayao and Xiao Yiran at a loss.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you!" Zhang Jiayao shouted.
Xiao Shufen's face also changed, Zhang Jiayao had never mentioned this matter to herself, could it be that she really did something to hide from herself? She quietly looked at the old lady Zou beside her, and found that the other party was calmly looking at Zhang Jiayao with scrutinizing eyes, which made her feel a sigh in her heart.
"Mother, this maid must be crazy, let's not believe her! Don't you know what kind of person Yao'er is? Although she is unforgiving in her mouth, she is kind in her heart after all, how could she do such a thing to frame her sisters? ”
Xiao Yiran chuckled twice: "Auntie, I don't think this girl is crazy." As she spoke, she looked down at Lu Qiao on the ground and said, "Lu Qiao, they all think you are crazy?" What do you say? ”
Lu Qiao glanced at Zhang Jiayao and the others hatefully, and said categorically: "I'm not crazy!" After saying that, as if she was afraid that others would not believe her, she identified the identities of everyone present, and these correct words made many people completely white-faced.
Lu Qiao now only knows that she is cornered, but she is unwilling! Even if she wants to be sold, she must first pull this ruthless and unrighteous master into the water!
"This coral bracelet was secretly placed in Miss Ran's dressing box by Miss Ran while she was changing clothes in Listening to the Rain Pavilion, and then she deliberately asked someone to come here to look for it, so as to frame Miss Ran for stealing her bracelet!" Lu Qiao looked at Zhang Jiayao and stated.
"You talk nonsense! I didn't! It must be that you see that you are going to be sold, so you hold a grudge and deliberately want to harm me! Zhang Jiayao shouted.
"Yes! I hate you! Lu Qiao sneered: "I have served you for so many years, and I have no merit and hard work." But you, don't care about these feelings at all, let me do such a dirty thing for you, and sell me when I'm about to leave the house! Shouldn't I hate you for what you've done to me! ”
"You!" Zhang Jiayao was dumbfounded.
Lu Qiao continued: "Yes! Miss, why did you ever take us maids seriously? In your heart, I am just an obedient dog, how dare I disobey you? But you didn't expect it, the dog will jump off the wall when he is in a hurry, since you don't give me a way to live, then why should I keep these secrets for you? ”
Zhang Jiayao couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Seeing that the time was ripe at this time, Xiao Yiran walked up to Mrs. Zou and said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter really doesn't know what to do with this matter!" I can only ask my grandmother to be the master, and I can ask my grandmother to give her granddaughter justice! ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zou's face sank even more. Xiao Yiran put down this high hat, if she favored Xiao Shufen and them again, it would really disregard justice and be biased to the surface.
Xiao Shufen forced a smile and said: "You kid, how can you believe it just by the words of this cheap maid?" Would you rather believe her than your sister? ”
Xiao Yiran raised his head and said faintly: "Auntie, when Cousin Yao found the bracelet from my box just now, she was sure that I stole it, and she didn't believe me unconditionally because of sisterhood!" Alas! In fact, I understand this, after all, given the situation at the time, it was normal for many people to think so. Therefore, it is better to rely on real evidence rather than emotion! ”
These words choked Xiao Shufen enough, she was so angry that her face turned green on the spot, she only felt that there was a breath in her chest that she couldn't swallow or swallow, so she could only smile and watch Xiao Yiran clench her fists.
Xiao Yiran said to Mrs. Zou: "Grandmother, I had some doubts just now. If I really lost something, I should have searched around the house, so how could I open my jewelry box? After all, Cousin Yao is just changing clothes with us, but she doesn't comb her hair! Unless......" she looked at Midori and said, "She knew the bracelet was in the jewelry box from the beginning!" ”
Lu Qiao nodded again and again: "That's right! The young lady said that in order to make people believe that Miss Yes Ran had stolen the bracelet, she ordered me to put it in the jewelry box. It's just that the slave clearly remembered that the slave and maid of this bracelet were indeed put in, but in the end, the coral bracelet found inside turned out to be a gift from Miss Shu, and the other string appeared on my body! At this point, her eyes were blank, and she obviously couldn't understand why this was the case.
Xiao Yiran's eyes flashed, she knew the cause and effect best, because this bracelet was what she put on Lu Qiao's body. Zhang Jiayao wanted to search the hospital just now, so she deliberately provoked her and let her start her hands, after all, it is easy to fish in troubled waters! At this moment, she quietly changed things to another place.
