Chapter 038: Confronting each other face to face
The time when Mama Zhu came to the courtyard of the second-class maid was just when the people had lunch, but she didn't expect Qing'er to go to the dining room because she was uncomfortable.
When she entered the house and saw that there was no one around, she walked to Qing'er's bed, took out a handful of gold and silver jewelry and stuffed it under the pillow, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Qing'er changing clothes from the screen.
Qing'er looked at Mama Zhu with a stunned expression.
And Mama Zhu flashed countless thoughts in her mind at that moment.
She held a large handful of jewelry in her hand and stuffed it under the pillow, if she wanted to coax Qing'er, I was afraid that it wouldn't be long before Qing'er could figure out the strange things.
Mama Zhu's eyes rolled, and she smiled kindly at Qing'er: "Qing'er, come here, Mama will give you some jewelry, see if you still like it?" β
Qing'er didn't know what to do, and walked over to Mama Zhu.
When she arrived at the bedside, Mama Zhu held a golden hairpin in her hand: "Qing'er, is this golden hairpin good-looking?" β
Just as Qing'er sat down and was about to look overβ
Mama Zhu picked up the pillow with her hand, pressed it on Qing'er's face, and pressed her down on the bed: "Damn dumb, don't blame Mama for being ruthless, you found it yourself!" β
When Shu Sanniang rushed over, what she saw was a scene that made her heart and soul broken.
Yinbao looked at Qing'er, whose face was as blue as paper, with more air and less air intake, and decisively took out a silver needle from his purse and pricked it.
After a few stitches, Qing'er woke up quietly.
When she opened her eyes and saw Shu Sanniang, Qing'er was dazed and then her eyes burst out with an amazing light, she turned her head and rolled under her for a while, eagerly screaming 'woo woo'.
"Qing'er, are you looking for this?" Shu Sanniang knew her daughter best, and took a handful of jewelry stuffed aside.
Qing'er nodded suddenly, pointed at Mama Zhu, and then at the jewelry, hurriedly trying to express something.
"Qing'er," Shu Sanniang wiped away her tears, "My mother and Zhishu and Xiaohua have seen it." β
She stood up and said slowly in front of Shen: "Madam, when the slave came in with Zhishu Xiaohua, she saw Mama Zhu stuffing these gold and silver jewelry under Qing'er's pillow, Qing'er couldn't resist, so Mama Zhu picked up the pillow with the intention of killing Qing'er. also asked Mrs. to make the decision for Qing'er. β
After saying that, she knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Zhishu and Xiaohua glanced at each other, and opened their mouths at the same time: "Madam, please make the decision for Qing'er." β
Shen took a deep breath: "Yinbao, you take care of Qing'er here." The rest of me went with me to the Begonia House. β
Qing'er propped herself up and screamed anxiously, Shu Sanniang saw this and hurriedly said, "Madam, Qing'er said that she also wanted to follow." β
Shen's inquiring eyes looked at Yinbao, who was clever and hurriedly responded: "Madam, Qing'er is fine. β
"Okay, let's go."
When they arrived at Haitang Residence, after Shen saw the old lady, he stated the matter: "Mother, Mama Zhu has sinister intentions for stealing jewelry. Unexpectedly, she also wanted to hide the stolen jewelry under Qing'er's pillow, intending to plant it, and her vicious thoughts were terrifying. β
"After being bumped into by Qing'er, he actually wanted to kill Qing'er with a pillow, and the viciousness of his mind was really outrageous!"
"Mama Zhu is the housekeeper sent to Haitian Courtyard by her sister-in-law, and her daughter-in-law can only come to ask her mother to deal with it fairly."
"How can it be!"
The old lady has been in charge of the Pingguo Mansion for a lifetime, and she can't tolerate the unruly things of slaves and maids, so she looks angry: "There is such a slave!" Mama Zhu, do you have anything to say? β
Mama Zhu was crushed to the ground, her sideburns were scattered, and she cried like a shrew: "Old lady Mingjian, the slave is wronged!" The slave didn't do anything! Yes, yes," Mama Zhu was panicked and anxious, her eyes rolling, "It's Shu Sanniang who framed the slave!" The slave doesn't know anything! β
"I framed you?" Shu Sanniang's eyes were cracked, and she knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady, "Please also ask the old lady to know clearly." It was Mama Zhu who stole the key to the treasury from the slave maid, and the key must still be on Mama Zhu! β
Mama Zhu's body trembled when she heard this, and she didn't think of a countermeasure, so she saw Yinbao come forward and grope for a moment on her, and find the key to the treasury from her arms.
"There are all the human and material evidence, do you still have something to say?" Shu Sanniang stared at Mama Zhu hatefully.
Mama Zhu's face turned pale, and she fell to the ground softly: "The slave is really wronged!" β
"Go and call the eldest lady over." The old lady instructed her mother-in-law.
After a while, Liu came in a hurry, and when he entered the main hall and saw this posture, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "My daughter-in-law has seen my mother, I don't know what Mama Zhu has done?" β
The old lady gave Mama Hu beside her a gesture look, and Mama Hu told her what had happened before.
Liu's face was full of shock, and he took a step back: "Mama Zhu has followed her daughter-in-law for many years and has always adhered to her duty, but she doesn't want to be such a wolf-hearted person, it's really hateful!" β
"Madam, the slave and maid are wronged," Mama Zhu rushed over and grabbed the corner of Liu's skirt, crying with a handful of snot and tears, "Madame save the slave and maid." β
Liu pulled the hem of his skirt and looked at Mama Zhu's eyes as sharp as a blade: "Mama Zhu, there are all the human and material evidence, how do you want to quibble?" β
Mama Zhu shrank down, hung her head and whispered: "The slave is wronged......"
"Sister-in-law," Shen coughed lightly, "Mama Zhu is the sister-in-law's person, and I also ask the sister-in-law to send it down." β
Liu's eyes were red: "Second brother and sister, it's the sister-in-law who doesn't know people clearly, which has caused trouble for the second brother and sister." β
She turned her face to look at Mama Zhu, and said coldly: "Drag down the cane and punish the thirty boards, and when it is finished, it will fall to the Zhuangzi outside the city." β
"Mother," Liu looked at the old lady deferentially, "Is it appropriate for a daughter-in-law to be so down?" β
The old lady closed her eyes, waved her hand and said, "You can ask the second daughter-in-law about this matter." β
Liu's face stiffened, and he looked at Shen: "Second brother and sister, do you think it's appropriate?" β
Shen smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law has a degree of control, it is appropriate." Mama Zhu is vicious towards Qing'er, so it's better to hand over the matter of the cane to Shu Sanniang, is it feasible? β
Liu secretly gritted his teeth, if it was punished by her people, Mama Zhu would not have to suffer too much, if it was Shu Sanniang who changed the second room, then she would like Mama Zhu to die, and if she went down with thirty rods, she was afraid that she would be able to take half of Mama Zhu's life.
It's just that in the current situation, she can't say no in front of the old lady.
So, Mama Zhu was dragged down crying wolf.
Haosheng punished Mama Zhu, and Shen's heart was very happy.
In her previous life, before she died, Mama Zhu's gloating and ambitious expression had always been a thorn in her heart, and she was unhappy!
In this life, Mama Zhu wanted to cover up Qing'er and frame Shu Sanniang, which is also infuriating and must be severely punished!
The two-bedroom Haitian Courtyard can finally be cleaned.
The Imperial Study.
Around eleven o'clock in the morning.
After a short rest every day, it is the most relaxing and pleasant time for Emperor Qingyuan.
Whenever this happens, he can clean his ears and listen to the report of Liang Gonggong while sipping tea.
The report is not a major event in the court, but mostly the idle and miscellaneous affairs of the emperor's relatives and relatives, courtiers and nobles, or folk rumors.
To put it bluntly, it's just-
All sorts of gossip news.
"Your Majesty, Xiangya monk You Yifei, I heard that I returned to Daqi a few days ago."
Duke Liang reported that Emperor Qingyuan's eyebrows moved, and he was about to speak, when he heard a report from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you." β
