"It's very simple, once upon a time, now is now, people are constantly improving, my handwriting has been practiced half a year ago to the point where it is now, it's ridiculous that Qiulan can find my handwriting so long ago, what can such a note prove? It's just a joke and a generous attitude. Gu Ruoxi's tone was full of sarcasm.

Gu Xiaoye stood aside and didn't say a word, but the hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched.

Mrs. Jinye Hou carefully compared the handwriting, then nodded, and made a final decision: "The note that Qiulan took out was not written by Xi'er. ”

"Mother!" Gu Yuetong suddenly screamed dissatisfied.

Qiulan looked at Mrs. Jinye Hou in disbelief, she didn't expect that Gu Ruoxi would turn things upside down in just a few words, she knelt there, and a trace of anxiety suddenly appeared on her face, but at this moment, she saw Gu Xiaoye's gaze, and then slowly calmed down.

Gu Ruoxi admired the expressions on the faces of these two people, and said, "Second, the injury on Qiulan's arm was not caused by me. ”

"Second Miss, the wound on the slave's arm is not a beating, so who else can there be?" Suddenly hearing Gu Ruoxi's words, Qiulan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and tears immediately fell on her face.

Gu Ruoxi glanced at her and said, "Didn't you say that the injury on my arm was called to seduce my eldest brother, and I didn't obey, so I beat it?" ”

Qiulan said this in front of everyone just now, and when Gu Ruoxi brought it up at this moment, she couldn't refute it at all, so she could only nod and say, "Yes." ”

Gu Ruoxi immediately smiled: "You're almost two months pregnant, right?" That means I've been my eldest brother's housekeeper for at least three months, right? Or longer. ”

Qiu Lan was a little confused, so she looked at Gu Xiaoye sideways, but saw that there was a layer of anger in her family's eyes.

"So, I beat me, it should have been before my eldest brother was pampered, it was at least three months ago, but the injury on my arm is still bloody, this is obviously the injury I just received, why do you say that I hit it?" Gu Ruoxi said coldly.

Qiulan was stunned and suddenly couldn't answer. It took a long time for her to squeeze out a sentence from her mouth: "Second Miss, the injury you beat the slave maid before has been healed, and this was only done yesterday." ”

"Really?" Gu Ruoxi said, and immediately turned her head to Mama Wang and said, "Mama, go over and take a look, lest others say that I am cheating, can you see if there are old wounds on Qiulan's arms?" ”

"Yes, Second Miss!" Mama Wang answered, and immediately walked towards Qiulan.

"It's been more than three months, and the injury has long been healed!" When Qiulan saw Mama Wang coming, she hurriedly dodged.

But Mama Wang has long been unpleasant to see her, how can she let it go? Only reached out and grabbed Qiulan's arm and twisted it, and heard the screams.

Mama Wang looked at it carefully, shook Qiulan off, turned around and said to Mrs. Jinye Hou: "Madam, there are no old scars on Qiulan's arms, they are all new injuries, if it is three months."

If the second lady did beat her before, it is impossible for those scars to leave no scars, so it can be seen that she lied. ”

"Nope! No way! Qiulan hurriedly argued: "What the slave said is the truth!" ”

But most of the people in the hall looked at her with a hint of doubt.

Gu Xiaoye said lightly: "Even if Qiulan lies, putting this matter aside, she has been hiding in Luomei Curie for two or three days, this is always true, right?" ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she immediately smiled slightly, ordered the two grandmothers to hold down Qiulan, walked over and plucked half of the green leaf and a wisp of petals from Qiulan's hair, held it up in front of Mrs. Jinye Hou and said, "Mother, look at what this is?" ”

Mrs. Jinye Hou looked at it carefully and said, "This is ...... The leaves of begonia flowers? ”

"Impossible!" When Gu Yuetong heard this, she was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed forward to snatch the things in Gu Ruoxi's hand, but Gu Ruoxi had already guarded against her, so how could she easily let her snatch it? Zao flashed to the side, and said loudly to Mrs. Jinye Hou: "Mother! The leaves and petals of this begonia flower are still fresh, and it has only been a few hours away from the branches, and these things will be on Qiulan's head, proving that she had been to the Begonia House a few hours ago! We are the only ones in our house who have begonia flowers! ”

When Gu Yuetong and Gu Xiaoye heard this, their faces changed suddenly.

"Lie!" Gu Yuetong was angry, and pounced on Gu Ruoxi again, at this moment, she didn't think about anything, she just wanted to snatch the leaf in Gu Ruoxi's hand, but at this moment, Mrs. Jinye Hou's angry shout suddenly sounded in the room: "Stop!" One by one noisy and noisy, what a system! ”

She had never been so angry, Gu Yuetong was taken aback, and suddenly stopped chasing Gu Ruoxi.

Gu Xiaoye stepped forward and said: "Mother, you can't listen to one side, that leaf and petal are very likely to be plum blossoms, maybe it's not true." ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately smiled sarcastically: "Big brother, are you in a hurry?" The plum blossoms only bloom in the cold winter wax moon, and there are leaves in the spring of the next year, and now it's only August weather, and there is nothing bare in my yard. ”

When Gu Xiaoye heard this, his face immediately turned red, because he was in a hurry, he didn't think much about it, but he didn't expect to be caught by Gu Ruoxi, but his reaction was not ordinarily fast, and his face was thick enough, and he spoke again at the moment: "That may be Qiulan rubbed in the back garden when she escaped, and it doesn't mean that she has been to the Begonia Courtyard." "Yes

"Big brother, is it useful to say so much? Just confirm that this leaf is a begonia, so why bother saying so many reasons? Gu Ruoxi smiled lightly, handed the leaf in his hand to Mama Wang, and said, "Mama, you can invite a gardener to come and see if this is a begonia leaf." Saying that, he paused: "In addition, this also proves that within three hours, Qiulan was not in Luomeiju, she secretly ran in when Mama Wang led people to search."

！ ”

Gu Yuetong opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but Gu Xiaoye on the side glared at her fiercely, and she immediately fell silent.

Mrs. Jinye Hou glanced at Mama Wang and said, "Mama, bring that leaf!" Without a gardener, I can tell. ”

"Yes, ma'am." When Mama Wang heard this, she immediately carefully held the two petals and leaves that Gu Ruoxi handed over to her, and handed them to Mrs. Jinye Hou.

Gu Xiaoye's eyes changed suddenly, and he quietly carried the power in his hand, so when the two leaves were about to be handed to Mrs. Jinye Hou, they were suddenly swept up by a gust of wind! Disappeared without a trace in an instant.

There was a sudden gasp in the room.

Gu Yuetong felt extremely happy in her heart, but she pretended to be surprised on her face: "Ah! Why is the leaf missing? "Sister, don't worry, there is only one leaf I handed over to Mama Wang just now, and look, there is still one on Qiulan's head!" said. She immediately stretched out her hand with a smile, plucked a strand of emerald green leaves from Qiulan's messy hair, and personally took it and handed it to Mrs. Jinye Hou.

Gu Xiaoye watched Gu Ruoxi's movements, and her eyes suddenly became gloomy.

"Big brother, what should I do?" The leaf she saw had already reached the hands of Mrs. Jinye Hou, Gu Yuetong's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but whisper in Gu Xiaoye's ear.

"Calm down! It's just a leaf, it doesn't mean anything! Gu Xiaoye replied in a low voice, and then moved to the side, deliberately keeping a distance from her.

A trace of disappointment suddenly appeared on Gu Yuetong's face, at this time, she really hoped that her eldest brother could be on her side, but she didn't expect that something would happen. The first person to leave her was the eldest brother.

Gu Ruoxi stood on the side, admired the expressions on the faces of the two brothers and sisters for a while, walked over to Mrs. Jinye Hou and said, "Mother, can you prove your daughter's innocence now?" ”

When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, she immediately raised her head, and immediately looked at her little daughter's frank eyes, which were as black as ink and as paint, as if they had illuminated all the thoughts in her heart.

Her heart tightened. Bow your head again. He served with great blood.

The wisp of leaves in her hand, including the one just now, are all the leaves of begonia flowers without exception, and the petals are also unique to begonia flowers, with a mellow fragrance and uniqueness. Actually, no

Before handing it over, Mrs. Jinye Hou had already affirmed in her heart, that is, begonia leaves! And it's fresh, which proves that Qiulan had been to Begonia House an hour ago, or even later!

She hid in Luomeiju before Mama Wang's search, in order to frame Gu Ruoxi.

And in the two days before she escaped, she must have hid in the Begonia House. Who told her to do this, does it need to be asked?

After figuring it out. A trace of disappointment suddenly appeared in Mrs. Jinyehou's heart,

For the eldest daughter, she almost exhausted her efforts to cultivate, only hoping that she would be a qualified princess after entering the palace in the future, but she didn't expect that the eldest daughter would become such a narrow-minded person, and she was so calculating for her own sister, so after entering the palace. How much affection can you have for the ancient family?

Lady Jinye Hou suddenly felt a trace of difficulty in her heart, but the moment she raised her head, she cleaned up the expression on her face.

She looked at Gu Ruoxi and said lightly: "This is the leaf of the begonia flower, Qiulan has indeed never been to Luomeiju." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yuetong's face suddenly turned pale, if it weren't for the mother-in-law on the side to support her, she would have fallen, how could this be! She had been planning for so long, and she was defeated on a leaf! It's really unwilling!

Gu Xiaoye stood there and didn't speak, but the expression on his face was gloomy, like a stormy weather, and the black pressure was all dark clouds.

But Mrs. Jinye Hou's next sentence made them overjoyed: "It's just that her person was finally found in Luomei Curie, Xi'er." You can't get rid of suspicion! As for whether Qiulan was bought or not, this matter cannot be conclusively concluded and needs to be punished. ”

"Mother doesn't need to check again? I gave three doubts, all of which can prove that Qiulan just said that her daughter bought her, which is all slander! Gu Ruoxi didn't seem to expect Mrs. Jinye Hou to say this, and she was taken aback, but she quickly calmed down.

It's just that in my heart, there is a little bitterness.

This matter has developed so far, and it is basically clear, but Mrs. Kazuba Hou did not say a word about the real murderer who really bought Qiulan, but grabbed her, an innocent person, to replace her, what does this mean? It shows that no matter what the truth is, Mrs. Kashiba Hou wants her to bear this responsibility today!

This is her mother in this life.

Gu Ruoxi was inevitably a little disappointed in her heart, she knew that with Mrs. Jinye Hou's cleverness, she must have understood the truth of the matter, but the balance in her heart was tilted, she wanted to protect her eldest daughter and son, so only she, an innocent person, would be responsible.

Maybe Mrs. Kashiba Hou will still think, anyway, they have no reputation, what is one more stain? Anyway, the eldest daughter and son can't afford to miss anything.

Thinking of this, a sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of Gu Ruoxi's mouth, and only now did she understand that she was simply superfluous in the Jinye Mansion, no! She is actually also useful, for example, if the eldest lady has done something wrong with the prince, she can use it to top the bag!

In just a moment, so many thoughts flashed in Gu Ruoxi's heart.

At this moment, she actually saw through many things at once.

And after listening to Mrs. Jinye Hou's words, the haze on Gu Xiaoye's face slowly disappeared, and after a while, it turned out

There was a hint of a smile, and Gu Yuetong on the side, she was incredulous at first, but then a trace of ecstasy appeared on her face.

That's great! Mother is on their side!

Thinking about it, she showed a smug smile at Gu Ruoxi.

Gu Ruoxi clearly saw a hint of provocation in her eyes. However, she didn't say anything.

"That's it, that's the end of it!" Mrs. Jinye Hou waved her hand, not daring to look at her little daughter's eyes, and said lightly: "Qiulan is pregnant, this is an ugly thing, no one is allowed to say it!" Tong'er, Xiao'er, do you hear that? ”

was named, Gu Xiaoye and Gu Yuetong immediately nodded and responded: "Yes!" Mother! The child obeys! ”

Mrs. Jinye Hou turned her head again, glanced at Gu Ruoxi and said, "Xi'er, Qiulan was found in the yard, and the mother has been thinking about it behind closed doors for three months, and no one is allowed to see it, do you have any opinions?" ”

She especially bit the words 'no one is allowed to see'.

Gu Ruoxi looked straight into her eyes, suddenly laughed at herself, and said, "Mother, can't even you see you?" ”

When Mrs. Kazuba Hou saw her eyes, her heart ached, but she nodded hard-heartedly and said, "Not bad!" ”

"My daughter obeys!" Almost when Mrs. Jinye Hou said the word 'good', Gu Ruoxi quickly replied. ◎

Mrs. Kazuba turned her head sideways and said lightly: "Okay, this matter is over, let's all retreat!" Xiao Er and Tong'er stayed. ”

"Yes, Mother." Gu Ruoxi bowed, didn't look at others, turned around and retreated. Gu Xiaoye and Gu Yuetong on the side all looked at her gloatingly.

When Gu Ruoxi's figure disappeared outside the door, Mrs. Jinye Hou suddenly said, "Tong'er, come here." ”

"Mother, what else do you have to do?" Gu Yuetong walked over in a hurry, with a smug look on her face that had not dissipated.

Who knew that as soon as she approached, Mrs. Jinye Hou suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped her hard, and said angrily: "What the hell is going on with this matter, the two of you will start from the beginning!" There must be no concealment! ”

"Smack!" With a bang, her cheeks, which were as white as jade, were high and swollen, and the stinging pain on her face, and the inexplicable anger on Mrs. Jinye Hou's face surprised Gu Yuetong: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it already clear? ”

"Do you have to let me say the good things you two have done in public?" When Mrs. Jinye Hou saw Gu Yuetong pretending to be stupid, she suddenly became angry, and she raised her hand high again.

Gu Xiaoye immediately stepped forward and straightened her chest in front of Gu Yuetong: "Mother! If you are angry, punish your son! Don't hit Tong'er! ”

Mrs. Jinye Hou's palm fell an inch in front of Gu Xiaoye, looking at her son's expression of looking at death, she still couldn't fight after all, and she was stunned for a moment and took her palm back.

“

The two of us. Why do you have to calculate Xi'er? What did she do wrong to provoke them to do this to her? Mrs. Kazuba Hou snapped.

Gu Yuetong lowered her head, so that people could not see the expression on her face, only her lips were tightly pursed; Gu Xiaoye glanced at her mother, sighed, and said, "Mother, have you guessed everything?" ”

"Xi'er, she's not a fool! Neither is my mother! There was some anger in Mrs. Jinyehou's tone, and there was also some sadness: "No matter how much Rao is calculating, it is just a leaf that exposes everything!" That Qiulan is Tong'er's maid, and she is secretly married to the pearl fetus, she doesn't listen to their orders, but listens to Xi'er, she is not afraid to make people laugh when she says this! ”

Gu Xiaoye was listening on the sidelines and did not say a word. The people in this hall, including Mama Wang, have all been sent down, and there are only three of them in the room at this moment. Gu Xiaoye knew that Mrs. Jinye Hou had come to settle accounts with their brothers and sisters, but this matter would never be spread out, so he was not afraid at all.

Mrs. Kashiba Hou is biased towards them after all, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoye couldn't help but show a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but when he came into contact with the high swelling on Gu Yuetong's face, there was a trace of distress in his heart. Mother was too ruthless this time.

"Mother wants to ask, where has this Qiulan been hiding these days? In the end, why did he go to Luomei Curie without alarming anyone? Did the two of them insert a dark stake in Luomei Curie? Mrs. Kashiba asked.

Gu Yuetong has not yet reflected on her mother's anger at beating her. Standing there and only weeping, Gu Xiaoye thought for a while and said, "Mother, Qiulan has indeed been hiding in the Begonia Residence for the past two days, and she has been hiding in the Luomei Residence at three o'clock today. ”
