Chapter 156: Suspicious
Cen Siniang naturally wouldn't deny it, sneezing in embarrassment, and shouting as a thief on the other hand, accused Gu Zheng of planting blame: "Seventh sister, you use such despicable means to frame me and blame me, it's a little too ridiculous, right?" β
Zhou Chun didn't give Gu Zheng a chance to continue to clear his innocence, and before Cen Siniang's voice fell, he continued to add a sentence, and his tone was still as gentle as before: "Seventh sister, this purse is indeed made by you and sent to me, don't make mistakes again and again, let alone drag the fourth sister into the water together, she is innocent!" This is the two of us in our own business, you must not use others as a shield! β
Mrs. Luo was very clever this time, and when she saw that the two juniors were biting Gu Zheng together, she immediately presented the evidence of framing Gu Zheng to Mrs. Tai: "Mother, do you see if this purse is made by the seventh girl herself?" β
Mrs. Luo insisted on sending the purse to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai just didn't want to see it, so she could only reach out and take the purse and take a closer lookβββ Gu Zheng has made shoes and socks, purses, bags and handkerchiefs for Mrs. Tai over the years, Mrs. Tai is very clear about Gu Zheng's craftsmanship, and she recognized at a glance that the purse was indeed from Gu Zheng's hand, and her face suddenly became a little ugly.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng spread out his hand and stretched it out in front of Mrs. Tai in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, can you show me the purse?" β
Mrs. Tai's face was solemn and the purse was 'handed over' to Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng turned the purse upside down in front of everyone's movements, so that the inside of the purse was presented in front of everyone, and then pointed to a very inconspicuous place at the bottom, and the voice was crisp and word by word to reveal the mystery: "Because this purse was originally begged by the fourth sister to make me, I thought that since it was specially made to give it to her, then I should make a mark for her. Embroidered with the name of the fourth sister......"
Gu Zheng said and pointed out the place where the name of the boudoir was embroidered to Mrs. Tai: "Grandmother, look, is there a 'Ting' word embroidered here?" β
It turned out that as early as when Cen Siniang was looking for Gu Zheng to make a purse, Gu Zheng had already noticed that she was uneasy and kind, and quietly left such a hand to deal with Cen Siniangβββ if Cen Siniang didn't make a fuss with the purse, Gu Zheng would not break the mystery hidden in the purse.
Mrs. Tai had a relieved look, first glanced at Gu Zheng, who had been keeping her in the dark, with dissatisfaction, and then cleared her throat and solemnly announced: "That's right, this is indeed the name of the four girls embroidered on it!" β
After Mrs. Tai made a statement to prove that what Gu Zheng said was true, Gu Zheng sent the purse to Mrs. Luo "considerately and carefully", and explained "kindly": "Mother, if this purse is really a token of love I gave to Cousin Zhou, then how can I embroider the name of the fourth sister on the purse?" I should embroider the word 'zheng', or simply do good things in pairs, embroider both 'zheng' and 'chun'! β
When Cen Siniang saw that Gu Zheng had left such a hand in advance, she couldn't help but change her face and said in a panic: "You spray people with blood!" You must have deliberately embroidered my name on your purse to frame me! β
Gu Zheng looked at Cen Siniang, who was so stupid that there was no 'medicine' to save him, with a look of pity, and his tone of voice was deliberately controlled in a unhurried manner: "Fourth sister, you are talking nonsense again, why did I frame you for no reason?" What benefits can you gain by framing me? Besides, if I really have a 'private' relationship with Cousin Zhou, then how can I tolerate him using a purse embroidered with the names of other 'females'? I'm a man who can't hold half a grain of sand in his eyes......"
Striking while the iron was hot, Gu Zheng immediately 'forced' each other step by step after taking out the most powerful evidence, tightly controlled the initiative, and in turn 'forced' Cen Siniang to ask: "Fourth sister, the current situation is that Cousin Zhou has a love token you gave him, and you were found to have met in the Huxin Pavilion and left a few clothes, and then you fell into the lake together!" β
"I've already said what I should say, several elders are people with eyes and ears, what is the truth of the matter, I think all the elders already have the answer in their hearts," Gu Zheng said and glanced at Mrs. Luo and the other initiators with a smile, and deliberately pretended to be aggrieved after his eyes fell on Zhou Chun, and blamed Zhou Chun in turn: "Cousin Zhou, I know that you want to protect the fourth sister, and I can understand your desire to protect your sweetheart from harm, but you can't let me be burdened with trumped-up charges in order to protect your sweetheart!" Aren't you treating all the elders as unreasonable people in doing so? β
Gu Zheng's call made Zhou Chun speechless, and also made Old Man Cen so angry that his face turned pale, and he rushed to Cen Siniang with an arrow step on the spot and slapped her fiercely: "Say!" What are you doing when you 'touch' the Lake Pavilion in the dark light? β
Master Cen's slap made Cen Siniang cry "wow", and while throwing herself into Mrs. Luo's arms for comfort, she took out the wrinkled and wet note in her arms, and said aggrievedly: "I won't run to Huxin Pavilion because I'm fine, it's because of the little prince that I came!" It was the little prince who asked a little maid to bring me a note and asked me to come to the Huxin Pavilion to meet! β
"Little prince?"
This unexpected news made Mrs. Luo stunned at first, and then pressed Cen Siniang's shoulder with a look of surprise and asked, "Ah Ting, what you said is true?" Is it really the little prince who asked you to meet here? β
Cen Siniang nodded heavily: "How dare I lie at this time?" If Daddy doesn't believe it, he can invite the little prince and ask him in person if this note was written by him! β
Master Cen thought that if he could really use Cen Siniang's relatives to get close to Yuwangfu, then his recovery would be much smoother in the future, so after a little thought, he spoke as a man: "Mother, why don't you go back and rest first?" This matter involves the little prince, so I have to go to him and ask, and after asking the matter clearly, I will definitely give you a 'handover' generation, and you will make the decision. β
Mrs. Tai nodded to give Master Cen a face, and asked Master Cen to go to the outer courtyard as soon as possible to find Zhao Hongyue to ask about the matter, and Master Cen was also anxious to know the truth, so he didn't delay for a moment and quickly went to the outer courtyard.
As soon as Master Cen left, Mrs. Tai glanced at Mrs. Luo coldly: "You come to Rongshoutang with me, there must always be an explanation in the end, whether it is a bend or a four girl, no one can be wronged in vain!" β
Mrs. Tai didn't even look at Cen Siniang after speaking, and then she was supported by Gu Zheng and went all the way to Rongshoutang, the current situation is very unfavorable to Cen Siniang, so that Mrs. Luo is a little shorter than usual, and she doesn't dare to talk back to Mrs. Tai like usual, so she hurriedly 'handed' a few words to Chen's mother, and asked her to settle Cen Siniang and the two well, and then followed Mrs. Tai in Aunt Zhao's gloating eyes.
Aunt Zhao would not miss such a good show, so she immediately took Cen Wuniang to Rongshoutang under the pretext of serving Mrs. Tai......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Let's not mention how the inner courtyard is, but it is said that after Master Cen found Zhao Hongyue as a guest in the outer courtyard, he went straight to the point after saying a few polite greetings, spread the note on the coffee table, and asked politely: "Dare to ask the little prince, this note was written by you yourself?" β
Master Cen's solemn attitude made Zhao Hongyue frown slightly, and with a little doubt, he picked up the note on the coffee table and looked at it carefully, and saw that the note was actually written in simplified Chinese characters created by him, and it was seven or eight points similar to his handwriting, and his eyes were suddenly full of shock: "This note was not written below, dare to ask Master Cen where this note came from?" β
Master Cen saw that the suspicion on Zhao Hongyue's face did not seem to be a fraud, and Zhao Hongyue had always been arrogant and noble, so he should be a person who disdained to lie...... After such a careful analysis, Master Cen quickly believed that Zhao Hongyue had nothing to do with what happened in the inner house before, and was just being borrowed to act.
But the matter has always had something to do with Zhao Hongyue, which made Master Cen have to simply explain the origin of the note: "It is said that a little maid 'handed over' this note to my fourth mother, and the fourth mother mistakenly thought that this note was written by the little prince......"
Master Cen did not mention this matter, and Zhou Chun was also involved, but simply said that someone borrowed Zhao Hongyue's name to trick people: "Since it has been confirmed that this note is not from the little prince's hand, then I won't disturb the little prince's rest, and I will leave first." β
Zhao Hongyue did not leave Master Cen to sit more, nor did he inquire further about this matter from him at all, because he had always only believed in the truth he had foundβββ only seeing that Master Cen had just left with his front foot, Zhao Hongyue gently high-fived his back foot to summon his personal guard, squinted his eyes and ordered: "I want to know what happened in the inner house of Cen Mansion tonight." β
"Yes, the subordinates will definitely find out the matter."
After the secret guard left quietly, Zhao Hongyue paced to the window with his hands behind his back, looking thoughtfully at the bright moon embedded in the dark blue 'colored' sky, the slightest 'agitation' in his heart could not be calmed down for a long timeβββ the simplified Chinese characters he created were almost never passed on, and he had never taught anyone, the ancients who could learn to write the simplified characters he "created" without a teacher must have the same secrets as him!
Who could this person be?
Could it be one of the girls of the Cen family?
Could it be her?
Hopefully, the guards he sent out to investigate won't disappoint him......
Zhao Hongyue couldn't help but look forward to the moment when the answer was revealed, and he was even more looking forward to the person found by the secret guard was the person he was thinking about.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Let's not mention whether Zhao Hongyue will find out that the note is from Gu Zheng's hand, if it is really found, will he have doubts about Gu Zheng's identity, and guess that Gu Zheng is also a traverser like him. But it was said that after Master Cen brought Zhao Hongyue's words back to Rongshoutang, Mrs. Luo's face immediately turned pale, and she didn't want to believe that Cen Siniang had been plotted by others this time!
