Chapter 8: The Maid Framed

The next day, Jing Jiaren slept refreshed for the first time.

In the past, when she was in the Huo family, she never slept lazy, Lin Zhiqing was very strict with her, not only doing things like a maid, but also having to work and rest like a maid.

Jing Jiaren woke up and went to the bathroom to take a look, it was already empty, except for the pool of cold water, she couldn't tell that a man had come last night.

Maybe it was in the middle of the night when the fever subsided and left, Jing Jiaren thought to herself, and quickly packed up and went downstairs.

Except for being with Mrs. Huo, she has never had the opportunity to eat with the Huo family, but she has to serve beside her, which is the rule that Lin Zhiqing set for her.

When Jing Jiaren ran downstairs this morning, there was already a row of servants standing in the restaurant, each holding a plate in his hand, covered with a round arch lid, the old man and wife of the Huo family, including Huo Tingxiao, had also sat upright, but the servants had not served the food for a long time, as if they were waiting for someone.

When Jing Jiaren came down the stairs, the butler standing next to her finally ordered to go down.

"Pass the dishes."

Jing Jiaren was about to walk next to the servants to prepare the cloth dishes, the housekeeper suddenly came over and led her to the dining table, and Jing Jiaren saw that there was still an empty seat next to Huo Tingxiao. At this moment, the man was looking at the morning business newspaper, and his eyebrows were clear and calm.

Jing Jiaren's movements were a little cramped, she didn't know why Huo Tingxiao changed the situation as soon as she came back, she understood that she was on the cusp at this time, especially Lin Zhiqing, who was sitting opposite, and the disgust in her eyes couldn't be hidden at all, which was different from what she expected.

She was thinking about her next plan while eating, and she didn't notice that there was an extra person in the restaurant.

When the family was quietly eating breakfast, a maid suddenly rushed in front of Lin Zhiqing, startling everyone.

"Madame, I have something to say!"

Lin Zhiqing's face was slightly gloomy, she put down the bowl unhappily, and didn't look much at the maid who suddenly pounced.

"What's the matter, say later, what kind of system will become at the dinner table!"

The maid was half-prostrate on the ground, and had no intention of leaving.

"Madam, what I have to say is very important, last night I found that the green jade cabbage ornament in the living room was missing! After investigation, only the young grandmother went downstairs last night! ”

Lin Zhiqing slowly turned his head, glanced at the maid, and said slowly: "What are you talking about, is it possible that the young grandmother can still steal her own things?" Slander the master, the sin is added to the first degree! ”

The maid hurriedly crawled forward and hugged Lin Zhiqing's legs, almost swearing with her life.

"What I said is true, I don't believe you can check the surveillance, only the young grandmother went downstairs last night, and she went to the kitchen!"

Jing Jiaren saw the maid's face at this time, she was an acquaintance, she had a good appearance and a good figure, and she was the maid who often troubled her. It stands to reason that she should have been fired yesterday.

As soon as the maid's words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Jing Jiaren, she put down the bowl in her hand, lowered her head and did not move.

And Huo Tingxiao, who was sitting next to her, was still meticulously using his meal, and the chopsticks carrying the vegetables did not pause at all.

Seeing her son's reaction, Lin Zhiqing felt a little confident in her heart, and she looked back at the maid.

"Since you said that the young grandmother took it, do you have any evidence? That green emerald cabbage is an old lady's object when she was young, and you can't afford it. ”

Jing Jiaren knew very well in her heart that Lin Zhiqing said that she should be cautious in taking evidence, but in fact she was waiting to see if she made a mistake, and in this hall, she didn't know how many people were waiting to see her jokes.

The servant continued: "I have proof! You can call up the monitoring at home to see, the young grandmother definitely went to the living room last night, and when I was cleaning the third floor today, I saw the bottle full of green jade cabbage in the young grandmother's closet! ”

"Why did the young grandmother suddenly go to the living room in the middle of the night while everyone was resting? Yesterday's banquet at home, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, but no matter how chaotic it is, the bottle ornaments will not appear in the young grandmother out of thin air, not to mention that they are still hidden in the wardrobe! ”

If it weren't for so many people in the hall watching, Jing Jiaren would have laughed, what age is it, and some people are embarrassed to take out such a clumsy planting.

But she also knew that since the other party dared to stand up so brainlessly, she must be sure that this statement would be convinced by those who should be convinced, such as Lin Zhiqing.

Sure enough, Lin Zhiqing didn't even ask Jing Jiaren after listening to it, and directly asked someone to go to the master bedroom on the third floor. After a while, the butler led people down, holding a bottle of expensive green jadeite in his hand.

Huo Tingxiao's father, Huo Zhonghua, raised his hand on the first seat, but he didn't have time to stop it, Lin Zhiqing had already attacked.

"Jing Jiaren! Tell me what's going on! ”

Jing Jiaren had no choice but to stand up, she took out her sketchboard and wrote, "Mom, it's not me." ”

Lin Zhiqing put the chopsticks down: "Then did you go downstairs last night!" ”

Jing Jiaren paused and wrote, "Down." ”

Lin Zhiqing sneered again: "What are you doing downstairs in the middle of the night, but it is the most messy time in the house, and something is lost and appears in your room." ”

"I asked myself if the Huo family treats you badly, you married in from the Jing family, and the money you should have is never less, but that jade cabbage is Tingxiao's grandmother's favorite thing, how can you think about it!"

"That's it, I can't help but say that I'm biased, you better go back to Jing's house, and ask your father and mother to educate and educate well."

Jing Jiaren sneered in her heart, sure enough, it was still to drive her away, today this thing looks clumsy, but it is actually very useful, no matter whether it is found out in the end whether it is something she took or not, the rumor has spread, everyone will know that she Jing Jiaren eats inside and out, stealing things and stealing them to her own head.

Jing Jiaren knew that there was no solution to this situation, and was about to write the word "good" on the sketchboard to calm the matter, Huo Tingxiao, who had been having breakfast next to him, suddenly put down his chopsticks, and the sound of metal colliding with ceramics was very crisp.

Then, everyone heard the unsmiling young master open Chrysostom: "The servant is lying. ”

Lin Zhiqing's face collapsed for a moment, and she looked at her son with a smile: "Tingxiao, what are you talking about, the human and material evidence is there, and her mother has not wronged her." ”

Huo Tingxiao didn't have any emotions on his face, and his eyebrows were full of fierce wind and snow.

"I was with the beautiful woman last night, all night."

Everyone in the hall took a breath of cold air.
