Qing An nodded, and bowed while bowing, while guessing what was going on.

The old lady hasn't come out yet, everyone is standing in the courtyard and there is nothing to do, everyone is talking in a low voice, Qing An is scanning around, I am afraid that everyone has their own plans.

"Old lady Wan An." Seeing the old lady come out, everyone stood up straight in an orderly manner.

Murong Shi stepped forward to hold the old lady, Aunt Zheng saw this situation, her face was a little unsightly, she gritted her teeth, and stood outside with everyone reluctantly, waiting for the old lady to speak.

The old lady first looked at the crowd, her face was not very good, and her eyes were full of majesty.

The old lady's actions made everyone uneasy, Qing An frowned, and now it seems that the old housekeeper has found out.

Qing An looked over with the old lady's gaze, and sure enough, she saw Zheng Xinru.

"I don't know if you still remember the incident of Steward Wang a few days ago?" The old lady took a sip of tea, but her expression became cold at the moment, but her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, which made people shudder.

"Old lady, naturally I remember, but that kind of unlucky person, why mention it again?" Aunt Zheng snatched the conversation with a look of disgust, her face was full of disgust, as if Steward Wang was really an unlucky person.

Qing'an suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, this Wang butler has served Zheng Xinru for half his life, and now it seems that it is extremely unworthy.

"Shut up, how can you Aunt Zheng speak here!" The old lady's face was solemn, her eyes swept over Zheng Xinru's face, and she scolded.

When Zheng Xinru saw the old lady like this, the alarm bell suddenly rang in her heart, she blessed herself slightly, and hid in the crowd, but her hand was clenched tightly.

Qing An glanced at Zheng Xinru with her head down, and when she saw her white knuckles, she was relieved.

"The murderer of the old butler has been found," the old lady gestured to the maid behind her, "bring him up." ”

Soon the maid behind the old lady walked up with a middle-aged man, and the bruises and purples on his body could be seen at a glance that he was afraid that he had been beaten.

The maid pushed the man before them and withdrew.

Qing An frowned, she sighed softly, it seems that this person is Zheng Xinru's scapegoat.

Soon Murong Shi looked at Zheng Xinru and asked, "Aunt Zheng, this person is the person in your room, I'm afraid it's not you who is behind the scenes?" ”

Hearing Murong Shi's words, Zheng Xinru hurriedly walked out of the crowd.

She knelt on the ground with a thud, and there was a sincere expression of fear on her face: "It's good that this person is a concubine's subordinate, but the housekeeper's affairs, the concubine is unaware." ”

Zheng Xinru said this firmly, her face was a little pale, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, but she didn't look at the person kneeling on the ground.

"Li Ru, is that so?" Murong Shi heard Zheng Xinru's words, her face did not change at all, she seemed to have known that Zheng Xinru would say this, she looked at the man kneeling on the ground, and asked.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the man, and Zheng Xinru was forced to turn her head to look at the man.

"Aunt Zheng, didn't you say you would protect me?" The man named Li Ru shook his head and asked in a trembling voice, his eyes cloudy.

When Zheng Xinru heard this, her brows furrowed, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, she looked at Murong Shi and Mrs. Qing, and said aggrievedly: "Old lady, eldest lady, this person is lying, you have to be aware of it!" ”

Qing An saw this in the play, and knew what the ending was, she lowered her eyelids and took away the unhappiness in her eyes.

Sure enough, when the old lady heard Zheng Xinru's words, her face did not change at all, she looked at Qing Anzai in the crowd, and her face was a little solemn.

"Aunt Zheng, you promised me to protect me!" That Li Ru shouted frantically.

At this time, Aunt Zheng's maid stepped forward and stretched out her hand to hit Li Ru.

Then the maid whispered in Li Ru's ear: "Madame promised to protect your wife and children......"

After Li Ru heard this, he had to bow his head and confess his guilt for the sake of his wife and children.

The old lady sighed, she thought for a while and then said: "Since this is the case, drag it out and beat it to death, Aunt Zheng, he is the person in your room, you go and lock it up for a few days, it can be regarded as poor discipline." ”

"Old Madam Xie is clear."

Aunt Zheng nodded, she was softly and weakly helped up by the maid beside her, with tears on her face, but she inadvertently glared at the person on the ground.

Qing An sighed, although he knew that things would end like this, but now that he really saw it with his own eyes, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Qing An looked at the weather outside, thought about it, and said: "Grandmother, mother, I will step down first if there is nothing to do, I am really not feeling well, and I ask my grandmother and mother to forgive me." ”

Qing An was already recovering from a serious illness, her face was still a little pale, and she was in a hurry to go out today, so she didn't have time to put on makeup, so she naturally looked a lot paler.

The old lady glanced at Qing An meaningfully, and then said after a long time: "In this case, An An, you can go back first, there is still some wind outside, don't let your illness worsen." ”

When Qing An heard this, she nodded, she blessed her body, and walked out of the door with the help of Liuli.

Outside the door, there was a subordinate beating Li Ru with a cane, Li Ru was lying on the stool, his body was already drenched in blood, Qing Anzai really couldn't bear to look at it, so he bypassed everyone and walked over with his head bowed from the side.

Unexpectedly, Qing An didn't take two steps, and was suddenly stopped by Qing Buli, Qing An frowned, thought about it, and stopped the pace under his feet.

"Is there something going on with the eldest sister?" Although the outcome of this incident made Qing Anzai a little dissatisfied, she knew that if Qing Buli didn't help her, the housekeeper was afraid that she would die in vain.

Qing Buli looked at Qing An's stubborn and somewhat awkward expression, sighed slightly, she reached out and patted Qing An's shoulder, and said: "Aunt Zheng's mother's family is too powerful, and grandmother and mother also have their own considerations, this matter is ......"

Qing Bu was silent in the middle of his words, Qing An raised his head in some confusion, and suddenly saw Zheng Xinru who stopped beside the two.

"What are the eldest and third young ladies talking about, and we can't listen to them?" Although Zheng Xin was punished today, everyone knew that this punishment was just a show, and it didn't hurt Zheng Xinru at all.

Qing An was blessed to Zheng Xinru, and said with a cold face: "Auntie, the eldest sister is just asking me how my body is recovering." ”

Qing An's explanation here is also reasonable, she stood in front of Aunt Zheng with low eyebrows, although there was a slight smile on her face, but her voice was cold.

Zheng Xinru nodded, she didn't say more, but said viciously when she passed by Qing An's side: "Qing An can't fight me in you, don't waste your efforts." ”

Qing Anzai's face remained unchanged, she lowered her head in the direction Zheng Xinru left, and didn't say anything.
