The maid who was pointed at her raised her head in disbelief, her face was full of panic, and she met Xu Wanxi's eyes for a moment, and then knelt down with a "plop".

"No...... Not a slave! ”

After going back, she obviously changed her dress and beaded flowers, and also washed off the eyebrows and moles on her face that were painted by Qing Ling in the courtyard of the second son, why did the second girl still recognize her at a glance?

Qing Ling was the same age and body shape as her, she deliberately lowered her voice before, and lowered her head in the night, how could she ......!

"Not you? Not you what? Xie Qian looked at her and said, "Before you even said what it was, you were in a hurry to clear it up?" ”

"......" Ah Yue's face changed greatly.

The other maids around her were all at a loss at this time, they were summoned here, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Slave maid...... When the slave heard that the house had been burglarized, she thought it was a ...... The masters suspected that the matter had something to do with the slaves and maids. She explained in a panic.

Xu Wanxi said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense here, since I recognize you, I can't help but disagree with you." ”

"Bring people in." The voice of the prince of Dingguo came from the hall.

Ah Yue was soon brought into the hall by two servants, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to raise her head.

"Which yard are you from?" Even though the Duchess of Dingguo had recognized the person, she still asked like this.

"Son-of-law...... The maidservant is from the courtyard of the Lady of the Prince. ”

"Oh?" Duchess Dingguo looked at Wan with confirmation in her eyes.

"Yes...... This girl is from her daughter-in-law's house, and her name is Ah Yue. Wan Shi glanced at the mother-in-law beside him, and said with a complicated expression, "It is also the daughter of the daughter-in-law who is the daughter-in-law who is the wife of the marriage." ”

"I remember that tonight at the banquet, you are not followed by this maid." Duchess Dingguo said.

Wan lowered his head: "What my daughter-in-law is carrying tonight is indeed not Ah Yue." ”

"That means that Xi'er really didn't recognize the wrong person."

"......" Wan pursed his lips and didn't speak for a while.

Even if she knew that Xu Wanxi recognized Ah Yue at a glance, it must not be a judgment purely based on appearance, but nine times out of ten it was because Ah Yue was a person in her yard, but she couldn't say these words.

If you say it, you will only be caught in more mistakes.

After all, Xu Wanxi is a victim in the eyes of everyone now, and whoever she identifies is who she is.

The situation is becoming more and more out of control, and the top priority is to protect ourselves.

"Say, who instructed you, and why did you deceive the second girl into going to the Crane Tower?" The prince of Dingguo looked at Ah Yue.

"Slave maid...... Slave ......"

Ah Yue put her head on the ground, took the afterglow and quietly looked at Wan, seeing that she didn't mean to speak, she had an answer in her heart.

Madame had prepared for the worst, if the matter was revealed......

Thinking of all the consequences, even though Ah Yue was extremely scared, she still immediately said: "The slave maid received the benefits from Zhu Gongzi...... I was obsessed with money for a while, so I did something wrong! ”

Zhu Xizhou's pupils shrank, and he immediately looked at her.

"What nonsense, when did I let you do this!"

The young man, who had just woken up from some wine, had a red face from anger.

"Shut up—"

The old lady Zhu, who was silent on the side, frowned and scolded: "Dispute on the spot, what kind of system will it become-this matter is decided by the government of the country, and before you are asked, where can I use you to talk too much." ”

"Yes." Zhu Xizhou lowered his eyes.

When the prince of Dingguo heard this, he said: "Mr. Zhu is too stubborn. This maid opened her mouth to slander, and it was reasonable for Zhu Gongzi to prove his innocence. ”

This is naturally for the sake of the face of the two families, and it also shows the trust of the Dingguo Mansion in Zhu Xizhou - after all, who did the thing, he also roughly distinguishes in his heart, slandering the distinguished guests, and the Dingguo Mansion is the one who loses.

"Whether he is innocent or not remains to be verified. If it was really my foolish grandson, the old man would not cover it up. The nephew doesn't have to blur the truth because he is afraid of my Zhu family's face, but if the nephew feels that it is not easy to ask——"

Old Lady Zhu's tone was calm and rational, and she arched her hand towards Xie Qian: "It is said that Xie Yushi is very good at handling cases, and he is honest and frank, and he knows a lot about tonight's events. ”

Xie Qian smiled.

Mr. Zhu is worthy of being a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and his way of doing things is indeed admirable.

"It is a blessing for the younger generation to have the trust of Mr. Zhu."

The prince of Dingguo also nodded: "Then there will be Lord Lao Xie." ”

“…… Shizi, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Wan Shi was nervous, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Such a family matter...... How can you bother Lord Xie? ”

The words are quite tactful, but the implication is obvious.

It means that Xie Qian is just an outsider, and there is no reason to interfere too much in the family affairs of the Dingguo Mansion.

In other words, if ordinary people heard this, they would have to say goodbye and leave with humor -

Dingguo Gongzi's face was complicated for a moment.

Wan's words seemed to be thinking about the Dingguo Mansion, but saying such words in public undoubtedly made the Dingguo Mansion and Lord Xie very ugly.

He was just about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but he heard Xie Qian say: "Mrs. Shizi is polite, Xie doesn't feel troublesome." Besides, this matter is not completely unrelated to Xie. ”

Wan Shi was disgusted and dissatisfied with his repeated meddling in disrupting her plans today, and subconsciously asked, "Oh? I don't know what it has to do with Xie Yushi? ”

"Wan's!"

Duchess Dingguo frowned and scolded.

Such rude in public, this woman is really crazy!

After receiving this scolding, Wan Shi was cold and pursed his lips.

At this moment, Xie Qian's voice sounded.

"Don't hide it from the old lady, Xie Mou originally planned to come to your house tomorrow to ask for marriage." Xie Qian saluted the Duchess of Dingguo and the prince: "The second girl in your mansion has a good appearance and a good heart, and her parents at home occasionally see each other, and they like it very much. ”

As soon as these words came out, the four suddenly fell silent.

It was Xu Yongning who broke the silence.

"Xie, who is Xie Yushi going to ask for?"

Should...... It's not what he thinks, is it?!

Xie Qian said with a smile: "Naturally, it's for Xie himself." ”

Since he opened his mouth, Xu Wanxi, who had been tightening the strings in her head, only felt that the string broke with a "bang", which shook her mind in chaos.

He didn't even blush and stood still.

Duchess Dingguo's face was quite calm, and her heart was also shocked, at this time she looked at the young man standing in the hall, and said with a smile: "My granddaughter is the most stubborn one in the family, and it is her blessing to be able to make Ling Zun Lingtang blue-eyed." ”

This is ambiguous, but it is also the most appropriate.

At this time, she couldn't figure out the true meaning of this Lord Xie, and Xi'er encountered such a thing again tonight, although she didn't give birth to anything really bad......

After all, this is not the time to talk about it.

"According to Mr. Zhu's words, let Lord Lao Xie preside over the judgment on this matter." Duchess Dingguo said.
