Chapter 191: Losing both
"If we hand you over to the other party, not only will we no longer be coerced by you, but we will also be able to receive a sum of silver, which is a great good thing for a man like me, who loves money as much as his life, do you think I will miss it?"
Trembling all over, Zhou Lan's chest rose and fell with resentment, but for a moment she hesitated, she stared at Ye Xiaoying's face, as if trying to tell if Ye Xiaoying was lying.
Ye Xiaoying's willow eyebrows are upside down, her apricot eyes are round, and her momentum is not inferior to her.
Zhou Lan was weak for a while, and when she saw that the two of them were facing each other, Xiaohong whispered on the side: "Madam, the eldest lady threatened to find Madame early in the morning, and they are also asking around about the whereabouts of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid cannot be found by them, madam!" ”
The words with a slight crying tone made Ye Xiaoying know that the so-called eldest lady in their mouths was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and there must be some means.
Just when there was silence, two subordinates outside hurriedly ran over, their faces flushed, and they said breathlessly: "Madam, all the people have been notified!" ”
"That's right, our voices are hoarse, and we finally let them know that Ye Xiaoying has stolen Madame's hairpin now! Others followed, ma'am! ”
But Zhou Lan still stood in place, her body trembled slightly, her hand retracted into her sleeve, and then raised her chin at them, "Go back!" ”
The two people were puzzled, and then whispered: "Didn't Madam say that she would not give up if she didn't defeat them today?" ”
Zhou Lan glared at them, and the two of them immediately didn't dare to say anything.
When they withdrew, many villagers came to see the excitement, and immediately saw Zhou Lan go back with a sad face, and they shouted at Zhou Lan, "Didn't you say that Ye Xiaoying stole your things?" What the hell is it? ”
Xiaohong raised the golden hairpin in her hand at this time and said to everyone: "Folks, this is a misunderstanding, the hairpin was picked up by us, hehe, everyone disperse!" ”
"Misunderstanding!" The men heard the two men shouting so hard until at last their voices became hoarse, but it turned into a misunderstanding, and wasted all their curiosity.
When Zhou Lan was halfway through, she suddenly snatched the hairpin from Xiaohong's hand and shouted at everyone: "It's not a misunderstanding, it's Ye Xiaoying who stole gold and stole countless things, she's a thief!" ”
After finishing speaking, she burst into tears, her five fingers tightly grasped the hairpin, if it weren't for Ye Xiaoying, she and Li Tiezhu would already be a couple, why should she be a concubine for others?
Trembling like a rat every day? When she returned to the village, how did she raise her eyebrows, and how did she exhale? The more Zhou Lan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, so she simply squatted on the ground and cried.
When the people who were about to disperse saw her like this, they immediately stopped their steps and began to talk one after another.
"Look at what she said is true, Ye Xiaoying is really excessive, the hairpin is so heavy, I'm afraid it is worth a lot of money, but she is Zhou Lan, Zhou Lan will be so sad because of a hairpin?"
Some people are really puzzled, you must know that Zhou Lan's family wealth was ten hairpins.
I thought that after they left, it would be peaceful, but there was a commotion outside the door, and even the sound of a woman crying.
When Li Tiezhu wanted to go out, Ye Xiaoying held him tightly, "Let her go!" ”
"But lady, she splashed you with dirty water, you keep it here, I want to go out!" Ye Xiaoying couldn't persuade him to let him go, but she was also curious, and she stood behind the door after Li Tiezhu went out.
Outside, Zhou Lan's crying voice made her heart annoyed, I don't know how long it took, Zhou Lan gradually stopped, but her voice was still crying, telling her about the injustice in her heart recently.
"Folks, how I, Zhou Lan treats you, you all know, I have always squandered money to help everyone, but what I hate the most is the thief, taking other people's things as my own, and I don't know the slightest shame, folks, how do you say you want to punish this time?"
After hearing this, Li Tiezhu strode forward, and pushed Zhou Lan forward despite everyone's dissuasion, "What did you say?" My lady didn't steal anything from you at all, you're talking nonsense here! ”
Li Tiezhu raised his fist, but he couldn't do it against Zhou Lan, and when he saw the small tree at the door, he hit the trunk with his fist.
The branches above swayed, and the people who had been standing under the trees took refuge, and the leaves on the trees above fell to the ground one after another.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Lan cried even more fiercely. Xiaohong couldn't persuade her beside her, she was so anxious that when Zhou Lan was crying, she felt that her face had nowhere to put it, and she was simply embarrassed to throw it home.
She longed to have a hole in the ground and jumped into it by herself, but Zhou Lan didn't feel anything, and she had to be angry with herself for the last time.
was cried by her like this, Li Tiezhu's fist was not endlessly released, and his expression was hesitant.
Not far away, someone shouted at Li Tiezhu: "Li Tiezhu, you shouldn't be like this, how can you treat Zhou Lan like this?" ”
"That's right, she's a woman who lost something again, and it's inevitable to be sad and sad, how can you hit someone?" Li Tiezhu's eyes rolled and stared at those people coldly, and they immediately shut up.
"Zhou Lan, I'll say it again, we didn't steal anything from you, and the hairpin has been found, I and the lady want to calm things down, your affairs will not be revealed to the outside world, if you mess around here again, even if my lady stops me, I won't let you feel better."
It seems that Li Tiezhu has heard too many words like this, and his heart has been distressed too many times, and he gradually became numb, Zhou Lan still cried and said to everyone: "Look at him as a threat, how can a weak woman of mine be his opponent?" Folks, you call the shots for me! ”
"Zhou Lan, your hairpin has been found, what else do you want to do? Do you want Ye Xiaoying to apologize to you for admitting her mistakes? ”
"No, I want to be able to send her to prison and never come out again!" She turned around and looked fiercely at the courtyard gate, she knew that Ye Xiaoying behind the courtyard gate would definitely be able to hear it.
Sure enough, under her gaze, the door slowly opened, and Ye Xiaoying walked out of it.
She found that there were not as many people outside as she imagined, but there were only more than ten people, but only Zhou Lan's excited face was crimson, and with the tears hanging on her face, her makeup had been diluted.
"Yes, you can go ahead." With this re-entry into prison, Ye Xiaoying also wants the eldest lady to take Zhou Lan away, and the fate of the concubine makes her feel well, who makes her not cherish today's peaceful life.
But Li Tiezhu refused, he still stepped forward to stop Zhou Lan's resolute footsteps, "Why do you have to lose both sides like this, my wife and I just want to live too peacefully, what do you say you are doing this for?" ”
