Chapter 549: Confession
It's a pity that the two mothers-in-law didn't understand the deep meaning of the Queen Mother, Li Cong and Yan Yan who were present understood, and the other understood that Ma was hiding in another room, but Ma was told that she couldn't go out without a declaration, so she could only be in a hurry.
But this round-faced woman is not stupid, she knows that the Queen Mother is angry, although she doesn't know why she is angry, but she is also so frightened that she can't speak.
Seeing this, another long-faced mother-in-law took the words, "It's not made up, the slave maid has also encountered it a few times, our second lady and Lu Shizi every time they come to the library to find a book, and the slave didn't think much about it at that time, because the second lady was accompanied by several maids every time, and the slave and maid were not sent away." But once the slave maid accidentally broke a vase when cleaning up the books on the second floor, and when the second lady and Lu Shizi came again, the maid next to the second lady stood at the staircase and shouted several times to ask if there was anyone, at that time, the small one did not dare to squeak because he was afraid of being punished, and then, they thought that the small one was not there, and the two had a private meeting in front of the big desk on the second floor, and the maids were guarding on the first floor. ”
"How can you tell these two are having a private meeting?" Li Cong asked.
The long-faced mother-in-law twisted a little, and then said in a whisper: "The two seem to be watching a painting, some are talking and laughing, and the prince also touched the head of the second lady, and the other is not clear to the slave and maid." ”
"What about you?" Li Cong asked the round-faced woman at the beginning.
The round-faced mother-in-law saw that the long-faced mother-in-law had said that she had nothing to be afraid of, so she also said: "The slave maid also met the second lady and Lu Shizi to find a book, and the slave maid didn't think much about it before, but once, the slave maid came out of the small door to pick up wild duck eggs, and got into the reeds, but I happened to see the second lady's maid come to inspect it, and when the slave came out of the reeds, I found that the small door was closed, and the voices of Lu Shizi and the second miss came from the upstairs window, as if they were also discussing some poems. Subsequently, the slave and maid turned to the gate, just walked to the gate, and met the eldest lady, the slave and the maid said hello to the eldest lady loudly, rubbed it for a while, and the second lady came out of the library with the maid, and then took the eldest lady to go elsewhere, and the slave and maid were also pulled away by the maid of the second lady. ”
After speaking, probably because she was afraid that these words would not be convincing, the round-faced mother-in-law mentioned a little more, saying that once it was Yan Yan who made a painting in the library building, but afterwards this painting was said by Yan Yu to be painted by herself, and she pulled Lu Ming to discuss it together for a long time, she didn't understand what she was talking about, but she understood the bright smile on Yan Yu's face.
"That Lu Shizi often goes to Yan's Mansion?" The Queen Mother twisted her brows and asked.
"Back to the Queen Mother, every year during the New Year's Festival will come to give gifts, and occasionally come at other times, according to the second aunt, it is to mention some Ah Zhang's homework, and the second sister will sometimes ask him to point out paintings and poems or something, but I don't know if they have a private meeting, I always thought that Ah Chang and they were with him." Yan Yan explained.
"Nonsense, even if it's engaged, it's different between men and women, how can your second aunt be so confused?" After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she was just about to Xuan Ma come out to question a few times, but at this time, a eunuch outside the door reported that Zhu and Yan Yu had arrived.
"Let them wait first." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she suddenly thought that Yan Yu was also a pregnant woman, standing under the big sun, in case of heat stroke, it would be terrible, so she changed her words again, "Xuan." ”
As soon as Zhu and Yan Yu entered the door, they saw Yan Yan sitting and a few kneeling mothers-in-law, and then looked at the face of the Queen Mother, both of them flickered in their hearts, and then Zhu helped Yan Yu kneel.
"The Empress Dowager and the Emperor, the courtiers heard the trial of the government and were really frightened, this matter is definitely someone who wants to frame our Yan and Lu families." Zhu Shi trembled and spoke.
"Woo, Queen Mother, please also ask the Queen Mother to give Yu'er a way to live, Yu'er has no face to live in the world, woo, Queen Mother, Yu'er really didn't do anything to damage her reputation, that is, when she was young, she was ignorant, and she took the eldest sister's poems and paintings to pretend to be her own works, but that was also based on fun, I want to hear what Lu Shizi said about the eldest sister's poems, woo, the Queen Mother, you old man must help Yu'er... Yan Yu cried and crawled in front of the Queen Mother.
"You have had a private meeting with Lu Shizi more than once in the library building, isn't this called damaging the reputation? You obviously know that Lu Shizi is Yan'er's husband who has never been through the door, and you stole Yan'er's works to seduce him as he likes, not to mention it, but also designed people to rush into her, just like that, Yan'er never said a bad word about you, nor did she cry to me about her grievances, you complained first, I really misjudged you before. Li Cong said in disgust.
"Ah, what private meeting? Back to the emperor, Yu'er has never had a private meeting with Lu Shizi alone, that is, everyone has discussed knowledge together. Yan Yu argued.
Seeing this, Li Cong shouted, "Come on, bring the housekeeper Mother Liu next to Mrs. Yan and the maid next to Yan Yu." ”
After speaking, he shouted again, "Mrs. Yan should come out too." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ma came out of the side hall and knelt beside Yan Yu, "The queen mother is gracious, the emperor is gracious, all the mistakes are the fault of the courtiers, and the courtiers were also confused at that time, and it was the lard that blinded their hearts, so they gave birth to thoughts that should not be had, and it has nothing to do with the children." ”
There's no way, she doesn't want to admit her guilt, but the emperor has to pass on the steward next to her and the maid next to Yan Yu to meet her, there is no possibility of hiding this matter, a sentence of bullying the king is pressed down, who dares to cover it up for her?
Instead of this, it is better to confess by yourself, strive for an initiative, and take the responsibility for the Zhu family, hoping that the Zhu family can treat Yan Yu a little bit better for her sake.
"You mean these two people have no personal relationship, and you insisted on making them a pair? I'm curious, how did you convince the Duchess of Zhenguo? Li Cong tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled mockingly.
"This?" Ma hesitated.
"It's all this time, you just say it, there are no outsiders here." The Queen Mother spoke.
"Empress Dowager Qiyu, the courtiers saw that Lu Shizi and Yu'er were talking and laughing together, and the two were also very compatible, so they had a bit of extravagant hope."
According to Ma's, at the beginning, she was just extravagant and didn't dare to do anything crooked, but one day, Yan Yu suddenly told her that it was Lu Ming who said a word, how good it would be if the object of engagement at that time was her, because of this sentence, Yan Yu was moved and begged his mother.
Only then did Ma know that these two children really had an affair behind their backs, which really stumped her.
