Chapter 9 Trumped-up Charges

Old Man Zhan slammed down on a trumped-up charge, which caught Qiu Sha off guard. However, she reacted quickly, but her face changed slightly, and after being stunned for a moment, she excitedly clarified for herself: "It's not me, I haven't done anything like this." ”

"Still quibbling, huh?" Old Man Zhan was even more excited than Qiu Sha, and poked his cane on the floor a few times, blowing his beard and glaring angrily, "Mother Lin, you say!" Did she go to the kitchen today and yesterday? ”

The kitchen mother glanced at the angry old man Zhan, and then at Qiu Sha, who was not very good-looking, before she replied cautiously: "Mrs. Qiu, she came to the kitchen yesterday and today to stew fish soup for you. ”

Qiu Sha hurriedly interjected to defend herself: "Mother Lin is right, I went to the kitchen, but I just went to the kitchen to stew soup for your father-in-law, I haven't touched other meals, let alone poisoned the meals!" ”

Old Man Zhan snorted coldly, stared at Qiu Sha and said disdainfully: "I haven't said that you poisoned the food, but you yourself admitted it first!" ”

Qiusha's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and the ruddy color of her lips gradually faded, and a feeble pale color took its place. She clenched her fists, her stiff body couldn't help trembling, she looked at Old Man Zhan with a pair of eyes full of grievances and sadness, and said with tears in her voice: "Father-in-law, I know that you have always disliked me, and you have always wanted to get me away from your husband's side. However, you can't use such means to slander me when your husband is not at home! I'm innocent, I have no reason to poison! ”

Qiusha talked about the grievances, and the tears fell down like beads with broken threads. Her aggrieved, pear blossom with rain and pitiful appearance, Du Xiaomeng had to admit that she was really a beauty who could stand the test, even if she cried, it was so pleasing to the eye, if she was a man, she would definitely feel pity for her involuntarily, and soften her heart to take care of her in every way.

Fortunately, she is not a man, and she has long known that such beauties are not ordinary good people. Therefore, she lay on the bed and pretended to be dead according to the script, watching the development of the situation with relish, watching how Old Man Zhan made trouble and how Qiu Sha dismantled the moves.

Old Man Zhan didn't have the slightest hint of pity for the jade, his anger seemed to have been put away a lot, but the gaze that looked at Qiu Sha was even more fierce. He sank his face, with a sarcastic sneer on his face, and said in an unquestionable tone: "There is no reason? How can you not have a reason? You are a concubine who has not been able to give birth to a man and a woman for many years, when Qi'er was the only one by her side in the past, you still hope that after my old man dies, you will let Qi'er help you as a wife, then of course there is no reason to harm others. However, now Xiaomeng is Qi'er's main wife, the head of the general's mansion, you are jealous that she has robbed you of everything, and you covet the position of the head of the house, this is the biggest reason for you to poison her! ”

"Wronged! I really didn't get poisoned! Qiu Sha shouted injustice, "She is not the general's wife at all, she is just an impostor who pretended to be married to Miss Lin, and the whole general's mansion knows about this, why should I attack an impostor?" In a hurry, she no longer cared about the fact that Zhan Qi had told her not to marry Du Xiaomeng in front of Old Man Zhan, and shook out the truth that everyone had been hiding from Old Man Zhan.

I thought that after telling the truth, Old Man Zhan would be surprised, even if he didn't pursue Du Xiaomeng, he would put down the poisoning for the time being, but unexpectedly, Old Man Zhan just looked at her body a few times with a more aggressive gaze, and finally, he laughed as if he had heard a big joke, and his whole body couldn't stop shaking. Steward Yang beside him was afraid that he would not be able to stand steadily, so he hurriedly stepped up the strength in his hand to help him.

After a long while, Old Man Zhan stopped laughing and returned his gaze to Qiu Sha's body again. This time, his gaze was no longer sharp, but calm without any emotion, so calm that Qiu Sha couldn't help but feel cold.

"In order to harm the head of the general's mansion, you can't make a plan and make a plan, and you dare to use any means." Old Man Zhan was as calm as a nobody, as if the person who was angry and excited just now was not him, "Such a vicious woman should have been sent to the government immediately for investigation, but Qi'er is not at home now, so let's wait for him to come back and deal with you!" ”

Qiu Sha was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to her senses and knelt down in front of Old Man Zhan, shouting loudly: "Father-in-law, everything Qiu Sha said is true, and there is no lie!" If you don't believe it, you can ask other people, they all know that Du Xiaomeng is a fake general's wife! She's a fake! ”

"Enough!" Old Man Zhan interrupted her words almost brutally, and motioned to Steward Yang and the kitchen mother, "Old Yang, Mother Lin, you take this trickster out and escort him back to Avon Garden and lock him up." No one can let her out without my permission! ”

"Father-in-law! I was wronged, how could you do this to me? How can you be so partial to her like that! Qiu Sha complained angrily with tears and wanted to reach out to grab the hem of Old Man Zhan's clothes.

Steward Yang blocked in front of Old Man Zhan, blocked Qiu Sha's hand, and said respectfully, "Mrs. Qiu, please go out with the old slave." ”

"Father-in-law......

Qiu Sha wanted to defend herself again, but Steward Yang stopped her again, and said respectfully: "Now that the old man is angry, Mrs. Qiu, you should leave with the old slave first, don't let the old slave be embarrassed." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the kitchen mother, who stepped forward to help Qiusha up, and dragged her out regardless of whether she wanted to or not.

"Wait!" Ah Zhuo, the watchman who had been standing in the corner and watching coldly, finally stopped watching the lively background board, stepped forward to stop the kitchen mother's movements, and then turned to look at Old Man Zhan with a smile and said, "Master Zhan, before the matter is thoroughly investigated, I arbitrarily concluded that Mrs. Qiu is guilty and wants to imprison her." Isn't that too hasty and arbitrary? ”

Old Man Zhan raised his eyelids and looked at Ah Zhuo, then lowered his face and turned his head to ask Steward Yang: "Old Yang, where did this person run from?" ”

Steward Yang bent down and replied, "Master, don't you remember?" This Ah Zhuo girl was sent by Lord Shangguan to protect our safety. ”

Old Man Zhan frowned and asked, "Who is Lord Shangguan?" Why send people to protect us? ”

"Master, have you forgotten what happened in the past two days?" Steward Yang asked in surprise.

"I don't remember!" Old Man Zhan waved his hand impatiently, glared at Ah Zhuo angrily, and said very unkindly: "I don't care who you are, it's not your turn to meddle in my family affairs as an outsider who doesn't know where it came from, and it's not your turn to talk more." Lao Yang, please let this girl out, I don't want to see her! ”

Butler Yang ignored the somewhat unbearable smile on Ah Zhuo's face, and explained to her apologetically: "Miss Ah Zhuo, my lord has always been mentally confused, and he often forgets what just happened......

"Lao Yang, what are you talking to her about? Why don't you send off a guest soon? "Old Man Zhan is starting to get angry again.

"My lord can't stand being stimulated, Miss Azhuo, you better go out quickly!" Steward Yang hurriedly persuaded, "If something goes wrong with the master, and Lord Shangguan blames it, the old slave and you can't afford it!" ”

Ah Zhuo glanced at Old Man Zhan, who had already begun to gasp, snorted dissatisfiedly, turned around and brushed his sleeves away. Steward Yang hurriedly made a gesture to the kitchen mother, and took Qiu Sha away with the kitchen mother.
