"Smack-"

In the next second, her head was slapped crookedly, and the bun on her head fell down.

Qiao Mei rubbed his palm, which was a little painful, and his voice was pale: "When I speak, what are you talking about as a lowly subordinate?" ”

Wan Luan bit her lip and looked at Qiao Mei, one of her hands covering her face, and her eyes were full of grievance.

She had already heard the second lady show her mouth, and maybe Qiao Mei would whisper to her in the future, why could Qiao Mei beat her at this time?

Seeing the slight hatred in Wan Luan's eyes, Qiao Mei raised his palm again, and also played loudly and loudly, "Unconvinced? You are a bite, do you really think that I am dead? Or do you dare to look down on your master as a servant?! ”

"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare." Wan Luan only felt a hot pain on her face, she hurriedly begged for mercy, and turned her head to look at Qi's side as if asking for help, her eyes flashing with tears.

Qiao Mei sneered, squatted down lightly and pinched her chin, and what she said made Wan Luan shrink: "What, look at what others are doing, don't you think that the second lady can be the same as you-lowly?" She raised her hand lightly, as if she was about to slap it down again.

"Qiao Mei!" Qi Shi got up, very displeased. She endured the slap, but what was she going to do with this successive beatings? This is the girl she found to make a room for Zhang'er! How good is it if you ruin your face!

Mama Li on the side wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, and secretly pulled Lazi's big sleeves, with deep thought in her old eyes. These four girls have really changed, they are usually inconspicuous, and they are very obedient in front of the old lady, who knew that she would use a way to scold people when she is provoked now.

Qi Shi calmed down, but she didn't delve into the deep meaning of Qiao Mei's words, she said, "Wan Luan, you go down," and said to Qiao Mei, "Sister Mei, I know you're angry, but you can't take my maid to vent your anger." Now that the evidence is conclusive, your girl doesn't admit her guilt, I have no way, why don't you check it out. ”

The fingertips hidden under the wide sleeves were clenched into fists, but Qiao Mei was cold, and her lips raised a trace of arc, "Can you show me the beads that fell from Bai Qing?" ”

Mama Li got Qi's intention and instructed the people below: "Submit it." ”

The maidservant girl who came up with the tray was from the Qi family's courtyard, and she respectfully placed the bead string in front of Qiao Mei.

This string of beads is made of pink pearls the size of fingernails, which looks more round and shiny than ordinary pearls.

"No need to check again," Qiao Mei looked at Qi Shi and spit out word by word, "This string of powder beads has the most price on the market, five cents." ”

"What do you say?" Qi's case started, and he was very angry, "This string of hand beads was given by the master when he welcomed me through the door, although it is not worth one hundred or two thousand gold, but it will not be belittled by you like this!" Eyebrows, I look at you ......"

"Enough!" Zhou interrupted her lightly, she had also glanced at this string of beads before, and she also felt that the color was wrong, but she didn't think about it in the end and only thought it was a cheap product, after all, when the second brother married the Qi family, he had not yet found a half-official position, and he usually relied on the house for food and clothing, and it was not surprising to send something that was not very valuable.

Seeing that the Qi family was so excited and didn't seem to be fake, Qiao Mei smiled, "What is the second aunt doing in such a hurry, I didn't slander the second uncle, but I didn't say that what he gave you was a bad one." ”

Qi was about to speak, and a person came in at the door, and Qiao Mei looked up and saw that it was Bai Yue.

Some beads of sweat oozed from the corners of her forehead, and she handed the booklet she was carrying in her hand to Qiao Mei, "Girl." ”

Qiao Mei said: "Help the worship down first." ”

Worship the moon with red eyes.

"Mother, I asked Bai Yue to fetch your account book to see," Qiao Mei said and opened the account book in his hand, and said to the Qi family, "The second uncle did pay fifty taels of silver back then, and the report was indeed a pink bead bracelet." ”

As she spoke, she pinched the string of beads again, and with a slight force of her fingertips, the powder fell lightly on the pearls, revealing their original whiteness.

"But this string is not a pearl at all, but it is coated with a layer of powder putty, and this paint may be peeled off not long after it is applied."

Qi Shi and Mama Li's faces changed suddenly, and Qi Shi said in a loud voice: "Impossible! This won't be the string that the master gave me! ”

"Second aunt, don't worry," Qiao Mei continued, "Where is the maidservant who originally had a dispute with the worship?" I don't know if someone else is trying to frame someone in my yard or is it trying to harm me? ”

Zhou's gaze also sank suddenly, she thought it was really a matter of worship, so she acquiesced in Qi's torture of her, but if it wasn't for her, wouldn't this be to harm her Qingqing!

"Bring that woman up." Qiao raised his eyebrows, and a little girl outside brought someone up.

Mrs. Xu is the embroidery thread woman in the house, specializing in embroidering sachets, purses, handkerchiefs and the like for the masters of the house. On weekdays, she doesn't have much chance to meet the masters in each room, but today she got all together to let her see a full face.

When she landed, Mrs. Xu's legs were weak, she knelt down, and without saying a word, she slammed her head a few times, and stammered: "Big, big lady, second lady, fourth girl, slave and maid have done nothing......"

Qiao Mei said: "Let me ask you, the sachet on my carriage was embroidered by you?" And who told you to put it? ”

Xu Pozi wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied in fear: "A few days ago, you sent someone to say that you wanted to change it!" It's still the irises in your yard! ”

Qi sneered: "The memory of the eyebrow girl is getting worse and worse, not to mention what does my hand bead have to do with this woman?" ”

Qiao Mei raised his eyebrows, but he didn't care about the Qi family, and said directly: "I didn't let people go." ”

Mrs. Xu had some doubts in her eyes, but she still explained: "I don't know if you have commanded, but what came a few days ago was the rain bamboo in your yard of the fourth girl!" Slaves and maids will never be mistaken......"

"Okay," Qiao Mei stopped her lightly, "Let's see if it's her." ”

Bai Yue, who went and returned, pushed a girl in, with clear eyebrows and a petite figure. Xu Pozi only glanced at it and nodded hurriedly, "It's her, it's her!" ”

Bai Yue pushed her to the ground, knelt down in front of Qiao Mei herself, and said, "Girl, it's her, it's her who has a dispute with Bai Mei!" ”

Qiao Mei sat down, and the smile was shallow and not up to the bottom of her eyes, "Mother, a few days ago, I saw that this girl had a close relationship with Jinhua Academy, and now I went to find the girl of the Lin family, so I let the worship keep an eye on her, I want to know what she is going to do, where do I know that this will happen as soon as I come back!" ”

"Sister Mei, don't you want to say that I instructed this person to frame you?" Qi Shi's chest rose and fell in anger, and he questioned her.

"Don't dare to brow, but beg my aunt to seek justice, don't let my girl be wronged in vain!"
