Chapter 20: Confronting each other
It's past noon.
The orange sunlight sprinkled on the big kang near the window through the window lattice, Mrs. Gu sat in the halo, the gold thread on the dark copper coin pattern Hangzhou silk cotton jacket flashed faintly, she looked at Xie Jinyi inquiringly like a stranger, and asked calmly: "Then how do you know?" ”
"Liu'er told me." Xie Jinyi turned her head to look at Cheng Linyu and said lightly, "Sixth sister, the people in my Qingxin Garden are busy boiling water and preparing snacks in the courtyard today, and they haven't gone out, how does she know?" ”
In her previous life, she didn't see through this.
In this life, she has to get it back.
"Fifth sister, you, what do you mean?" Cheng Linyu bit her lip and said, "Liu Er is from your Qingxin Garden, how do I know ......?"
After thousands of calculations, she didn't expect Xie Jinyi to come to this show.
Isn't the point today because she beat Xu Jianing?
"Fifth girl, the girls are more or less at fault in this matter, and your grandmother has promised to offset the two of them." Xu Shi seemed to have guessed a few points, and said busily, "As for these trivial matters, don't pursue them anymore, let this matter pass!" ”
"Mother can pass, but I can......'t get by," Xie Jinyi said calmly, "Just now I hit Miss Xu Si on impulse, it was my fault, but on the way I thought about it, and suddenly felt that there was something strange about this matter, but I was stupid by nature, and I wanted to ask my grandmother to distinguish right from wrong for me, I don't think my mother would not agree, right?" ”
Wei Shi understood, turned his head to Old Madam Gu and said, "Mother, since the fifth girl has talked about this, it is better to call Liu Er over and ask." ”
As long as it doesn't involve your own niece.
She doesn't mind if things get bigger, anyway, this matter will rot in the pot and will not affect the reputation of the Xie family.
Old Madam Gu nodded and instructed Mingyue: "Go and bring Liu'er." ”
After a while, Liu Er was brought to everyone.
The waist is thin and weak, and the wind is weak.
Old Madam Gu was angry when she saw it, and asked angrily, "Are you Liu'er?" ”
This girl doesn't look like a good thing.
A foxy face.
"Slave is exactly!" Liu Er replied in a coquettish voice.
"How did you know about the quarrel between the third girl and the fourth girl Xu in the flower room?" Old Madam Gu asked coldly, Liu Er looked up at Cheng Linyu, and replied truthfully: "Yes, it was Ying'er next to the sixth girl who told the slave maid, and the slave and maid complained for the fifth girl, so she told the fifth girl, the slave maid, and the slave didn't expect the fifth girl to go to Langyuan......
Old Madam Gu looked at Cheng Linyu.
Cheng Linyu hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Grandmother, this matter, the granddaughter does not know about this matter, the granddaughter is not a good housekeeper, and I hope that the grandmother will forgive her sins." ”
Liu'er is an idiot.
actually opened his mouth to recruit her, which is really useless.
"Sixth sister, did you instruct it, ask Ying'er." Xie Jinyi was prepared.
As soon as the words fell, Ziyu dragged Ying'er to lift the curtain and walked in.
As soon as she let go, the thin little girl fell to the ground, glanced at Cheng Linyu in a panic, and said incoherently: "Slave, slave and maid, slave and maid don't know anything, the sixth girl save me...... The slave didn't say anything! ”
"Presumptuous, don't look at what kind of place this is, what kind of system it has become!" Wei Shi said with a straight face, "Liu'er said, you told her about the Huafang, right?" ”
Ying'er looked at Cheng Linyu vigorously.
Cheng Linyu is almost angry, look at what she is doing!
I didn't see that she was so stupid before!
"Ying'er, did you tell Liu'er?" Xu couldn't sit still, for fear of affecting Cheng Linyu, and coughed lightly, "Yes, no, no, if you don't do it, no one will wronged you." ”
"Speak quickly!" Ziyu couldn't help but speak, "If you dare to lie, be careful of the family law!" ”
"Yes, it was the slave who told Liu'er......" Ying'er didn't dare to look up.
Say no, don't say no, what should she do!
Didn't the girl say that as long as she stayed in Qiulan Courtyard, no one would pay attention to her!
"Ying'er, let me ask you, where were you when my third sister had a quarrel with Miss Xu's fourth sister?" Xie Jinyi asked, Ying'er lowered her eyes and said, "Slave maid, slave maid is in the flower room, with the sixth girl!" ”
When Cheng Linyu heard this, her face turned pale all of a sudden.
"Then they mentioned me, and you reacted quickly and ran to Qingxin Yuan to tell Liu'er?" Xie Jinyi sneered, "As a personal maid, you are really clever, if it weren't for someone behind your back, I don't believe you have such a tacit understanding with Liu'er......"
"Fifth sister, you, what do you mean?" Cheng Linyuqiao's face flushed, and she asked, "Could it be that you suspect that I instructed Ying'er to tell Liu'er?" ”
"Is there anyone else?" Xie Jinyi asked rhetorically.
Anyway, it's destined to tear the face.
It's just a matter of one day earlier and one day later.
"I ......" Cheng Linyu had tears in her eyes, "Fifth sister, you have wronged a good person!" ”
"Ying'er, say, who instructed you?" Old Madam Gu asked coldly, "If you have half a lie, I will never spare you!" ”
No matter how hateful Xie Jinyi is, he is also the flesh and blood of the Xie family.
What kind of thing is Cheng Linyu!
There was silence in the room.
Needle drops can be heard.
"Old lady, slave......" Ying'er trembled.
"Say!" A teacup was thrown over.
The sound shattered in half.
"Yes, it's the sixth girl...... Ying'er simply didn't do anything, and said truthfully, "It was the sixth girl who asked the slave to tell Liu'er, saying that it must be passed on to the fifth girl, and that the fifth girl's short temper will definitely come over to make trouble......"
"You're lying!" Cheng Linyu was so angry that she trembled, "When did I say this?" ”
"Sixth girl, what you just told the slave maid in the flower room!" Ying'er's eyes widened, with an innocent face, "You said that Liu'er is your own person, she knows what to do, and you still say ......"
"Enough, shut up for me!" Xu's face was flushed with anger, and he pointed at Ying'er and said, "Who gave you such a big gut to dare to frame the girl casually, come here, drag me down, and beat me hard!" ”
No one moved.
"Why should my brother and sister be angry, it's just a small dispute between sisters." Wei Shi was like a mirror in his heart, and said lukewarmly, "If you have time to teach the maid a lesson, it is better to go back and discipline your daughter, it is common for the girl's family to quarrel and quarrel, but if you have other thoughts, it is a matter of conduct." ”
"Grandmother, aunt, I ......" Cheng Linyu knew that the matter was exposed, and she had no shame to stay any longer.
simply covered his face and ran out crying.
"Sixth girl......" Xu got up to chase, but was stopped by the old lady, "Xu, wait a minute, I have something to tell you." ”
"Mother, the six girls have always been knowledgeable, gentle and lovely, ......" Xu Shi stopped, with tears in his eyes, and sobbed, "It must be this girl who is climbing indiscriminately, and I hope that my mother will be aware of it, and don't wronged the six girls." ”
"Xu, what is going on, I think you know better than me." Mrs. Gu said solemnly, "Although the sixth girl is not my daughter of the Xie family, she was raised in the Xie Mansion, she made a mistake and must be punished, but it is the first time for me to read her, give her a chance, punish her to be grounded for a month, and think about it in the face of the wall, as for Liu Er Ying'er, the rod will be punished twenty, and she will be driven out of the Xie Mansion to set an example, if you are not convinced, you can confront Ying'er in court, and let the official master judge this matter." ”
She didn't believe it, Xu dared to use Cheng Linyu's reputation to confront the court.
