Chapter 052: Pleading
Not long after sending Yan's father-in-law away, a little eunuch named Le Ji brought some daily household items such as bedding over.
Le Ji looked like he was fifteen or sixteen, with a simple and honest appearance, and took the initiative to introduce the situation in the courtyard to Ayu, and asked her to go to the courtyard in the west corner to find him if she had anything.
"I see, thank you, little father-in-law."
Ayu thanked him, Leji scratched his head, and soon went out.
It is true that there has been no one living here, Ayu closed the courtyard door, sighed, and went back to the house to clean up.
Zhou Jin came over at noon, carrying a food box and asking people to bring two sets of dresses.
"I'm hungry."
Zhou Jin looked at Ayu, who was saluting, and placed the things in his hand on the table.
She didn't even eat breakfast, and now she was so hungry that Ayu was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, but at this time she just stood there silently, looking low and pleasing to her eyes.
Zhou Jin smiled, asked the accompanying little eunuch to put down his dress, and ordered them out.
"Ayu." Zhou Jin sat down on a carved chair, "Do you know what's wrong?" ”
Sure enough, things in the morning weren't so easy to turn over.
Ayu slowly knelt on the ground, "Ayu knows." ”
"Hmm." Zhou Jin's face was serious, "Colluding with the little guy to deal with the things in the house privately, this alone can sell you." ”
Ayu's excuse for burning her clothes in the morning was untenable, Zhou Jin didn't know that she had the ability to sneak away, so he naturally believed Lu Qianjiao's words before, thinking that she asked someone to take things out and dispose of them.
is obviously a little girl who has never seen the world, she is really bold, if it weren't for the palace to take a fancy to her, she would have died two or three times.
"Father-in-law......
Ayu really didn't want to admit the crime of colluding with the little guy, but the matter had come to this point, and she had no choice.
"Please father-in-law don't punish Brother Qin, it was Ayu who begged him to do it, and the slave and maid bear all the responsibilities."
Ayu hung her head and dragged Qin Jiang in for no reason, she was very afraid, afraid of affecting innocent people.
Zhou Jin sighed, "You have committed a great sin, again and again, again and again. First committed the following crimes, and then colluded with others with private belongings. These crimes will be punished together, not to mention yourself, if you really want to pursue it, you will punish your relatives. ”
Zhou Jin's voice was helpless and cold, and now Ayu knows that it can't be solved by begging for mercy.
She didn't raise her head, closed her eyes and said, "Please make it clear to my father-in-law." ”
It's finally transparent, don't spend so much effort on her.
Zhou Jin stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Although I am the head of internal affairs in the house, I am also a servant of His Highness in the end. It is what I should do to solve problems for His Highness, but I do not have the power to make decisions beyond my master, do you understand? ”
"The slave understands."
"That's okay, the palace usually goes to the study after the afternoon break, you can pack it up and come over, and give you a chance to be introduced."
Zhou Jin left, Ayu stood up with the lintel, looked at the courtyard door that was pulled shut, and went to the table to silently fill her stomach.
After that, she boiled hot water, cleaned herself up, tied her bun, and put on the gorgeous dress she had just been delivered.
Ayu didn't know where the study was, so she went to find Leji.
I heard that it was Zhou's father-in-law who called her, and Leji took her very enthusiastically.
The study, not far behind the main hall, is built against the wall and is a pavilion with a garden pavilion.
Ayu walked on the porch and saw a familiar attic above the courtyard wall.
It turns out that there is a small garden next door here......
Zhou Jin had explained to the little eunuch outside about Ayu's coming, and when he saw her coming, someone went inside to report and asked her to wait at the door for a while.
In the east chamber, under the window lattice, Wei Li hung his pen and was writing.
The man lifted his sleeves lightly, his expression was calm and comfortable, and his eyes moved with the peak of the pen, less cold on weekdays, and more gentle.
At the door, a little eunuch came lightly.
When Zhou Jin heard the voice, he didn't dare to disturb the master, and slowly retreated.
"Father-in-law, the maid named Ayu is here and is outside."
"Oh." Zhou Jin smiled, "Let's take her here first and wait." ”
"Yes." The little eunuch answered the call and left.
Zhou Jin also went back inside, and just happened to see the master put down the pen, so he walked over cautiously and said with a smile, "Your Highness, that little maid named Ayu came over and said that she wanted to apologize to you." ”
Wei Li was rolling up the Jinxuan, and when she heard the words, she let go of her hand, sat on the Taishi chair on the side, and asked Zhou Jin to pass her in.
Zhou Jin went away happily, and when he saw Ayu under the steps in a new dress, he was satisfied and took her into the door.
"Hail to Your Highness."
Ayu entered the gift of the insider's chief examiner.
"Up."
Wei Li rarely gave her a face, but Ayu didn't get up, just straightened up, lowered his eyes and said, "Guilty body, don't dare to trespass." Your Highness, I ...... before, the slave and maid know the sin very much, and ask Your Highness to surrender the sin. ”
The matter of slapping His Royal Highness King Liangwang is unspeakable no matter what, Ayu just knew it like that, and then said, "In the morning, the slave and maid thanked His Highness Longen, saved the slave and maid a cheap life, and kept his innocence." ”
Ayu kowtowed again after speaking, her voice was calm, and her appearance looked quite solemn and serious.
I'm really here to ask for thanks!
Wei Li's voice was cold, "Raise your head." ”
Ayu stood up when he heard this.
At this time, she was wearing a snow-blue flower-sprinkled Hunan skirt, covered with a butterfly-like cherry blossom grass-colored gown, which reflected her round face, like jade. The eyes are more like they have been washed, and with a lily bun that is different from that of the maid, it makes Wei Li's eyes shine.
The woman was also very bold today, and she actually dressed up well before coming to see him, but her clothes and hair accessories ......
Wei Li glanced at Zhou Jin in the distance, and saw that he pulled the door and went out, and his narrow phoenix eyes darkened.
At that time, he didn't have the heart to care about Zhou Jin's bold minion, bowed slightly, and asked the woman on the ground, "You, really want to be guilty?" ”
"Yes, the slave and maid are to blame, and please ask Your Highness to surrender their crimes."
Ayu's tone was sincere and indifferent, but in Wei Li's eyes, there was no one angry.
Wei Li supported his head with one hand, and his fingers lightly tapped on the chair support.
I have to say that the woman's behavior made him very unhappy, and he would rather the people on the ground beg to be spared, to beg for forgiveness, and it is better to hold his legs, pull the hem of his clothes, and cry bitterly.
Thinking about that picture makes him feel uncomfortable, instead of begging for remission like this, calmly.
"You, come here."
There was a danger signal in his eyes, Ayu trembled slightly, he couldn't stay calm anymore, turned his head, bit his lip, just knelt like that, and slowly moved over.
"Get up."
deliberately dressed up like this, but she kept shrinking her head and making a quail shape, wasting this scheming in vain.
Ayu's heart was like a deer, holding her skirt and slowly standing up.
The two were only half an arm's length apart, and the closer they got, the more Ayu felt that this person was strong and tall, and he could look at him on the chair even though he was standing.
"Your sin ......" Wei Li raised his eyes, his gaze was like a torch, "What do you think?" ”
