Chapter 6: A dilemma

"Yang, stop."

Mrs. Xiao San shouted and rushed over.

Mrs. Xiao Liu seemed to hear her roar, and she was so frightened that she stopped moving, and her hand stopped next to Li Xuan's ear.

Li Xuan glanced at her well-maintained slender jade hand, and felt a little stunned in his heart, it was this hand, just now he was holding a dagger and threatening to kill him, and then gave him a punch.

He unconsciously took two steps back.

When Mrs. Li saw this scene, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Xiao San strode into the threshold, pulled Li Xuan behind her, and looked at Mrs. Xiao Sixth fiercely: "Yang, what do you want to do?"

"Xuan'er is just a child, you actually caught him here and lynched him.

"You bully the small, do you want to be shameless?"

Mrs. Xiao Liu withdrew her right hand, hugged Xiao Lingwei tightly, and said, "He stole Weiwei's things, and he should be beaten." ”

Mrs. Xiao was about to open her mouth to ask, when a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside the courtyard, and Mama Gao walked in from behind and said, "The old slave has seen the third lady, the sixth master, and the sixth lady.

"The old lady has an order, please go to the Evergreen Academy."

......

“... That's the way it is, Li Sigongzi stole something from Weiwei, so I want to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, just when he was about to teach him a lesson, the third sister-in-law came. ”

Hearing Mrs. Xiao Liu's words, the corners of Li Xuan's eyes couldn't help twitching, he could be regarded as having seen what it meant to reverse black and white.

And just about to teach him a lesson? It means that before he had time to teach a lesson, he was stopped by Mrs. Xiao San.

In fact, he had been threatened and intimidated, punched, and forced to swallow a poison that was extremely poisonous.

Aren't these lessons learned?

Master Xiao Liu was about to speak, but was glared at by Mrs. Xiao Liu, and closed his mouth.

Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Lingwei in Mrs. Xiao's arms: "I heard that Weiwei disappeared before, where did you find it?" ”

Mrs. Xiao replied calmly: "I found it in the garden, presumably the nurse was lazy, put it in the garden, and went to join in the fun, and then forgot about it."

"Don't worry, old lady, I will punish the nurse severely when I go back."

Old Madam Xiao looked her up and down, and couldn't help frowning when she saw the clothes on her body, and when she looked at it again, the gown she was wearing outside was on Xiao Lingwei's body at the moment.

"That's how you got all the way?"

Mrs. Xiao Liu glanced at Xiao Lingwei along her line of sight, and hurriedly explained: "In the garden just now, I urinated slightly and wet my clothes.

"I couldn't find her replacement clothes for a while, so I took off my own clothes and wrapped them up for her."

Fortunately, she also put a gown on top of the brocade skirt today, and it is not a shame to look like this now.

Old Madam Xiao believed her words, and felt that the clothes on her body were not very embarrassing, so she put down the stubble.

She looked at Mrs. Li and said, "Mrs. Li, today's matter involves the fourth prince of Li, what do you think?" ”

A look of embarrassment appeared on Mrs. Li's face: "This... Old lady, I am sorry that I did not discipline me well, and I am sorry. ”

Li Xuan looked at Mrs. Li, what did she mean by this? Did he steal by default?

Mrs. Xiao San interjected and said, "Mother, the sixth brother and sister said that Xuan'er stole Weiwei's things, but this is just her side of the story, and no one else saw it.

"As the saying goes, catch a thief and take the stolen goods, and we don't see the stolen goods."

Mrs. Xiao Liu had already prepared and took out a piece of mutton fat jade pendant: "Fourth Prince Li stole this jade pendant, and this jade pendant was a full moon gift from my eldest brother to Weiwei."

"Xu is the fourth prince of Li, when he saw that this jade pendant was beautiful, he thought about it."

Mrs. Xiao San looked at the jade pendant, her eyes lit up, this is a fine mutton fat jade pendant, and the color is excellent. In the entire Xiao Mansion, I am afraid that only the old lady and the eldest lady have such jade pendants.

I heard that the Yang family's family is extremely wealthy, and it seems that the rumors are true, this is just a child's full moon, and he is so generous.

But there was a disdainful expression on her face: "It's just a piece of jade pendant, how could Xuan'er steal such a thing?" ”

Mrs. Xiao Liu replied: "Children like beautiful things the most, and it is normal for Li Sigongzi to have the idea of stealing when he sees this jade pendant beautiful."

"I personally found this jade pendant from him."

Mrs. Xiao San glared at her: "There is no basis for what you say, this is just your words." ”

"Could it be that the sixth lady of my dignified Xiao family will still wronged a child?"

"That's not necessarily, maybe you framed it."

"You framed me."

"I didn't, you framed Xuan'er."

"Now it's your nephew who framed me for framing you."

......

They quarreled as they spoke, and the quarrel made Mrs. Xiao have a headache, and she shouted irritably: "Stop arguing. ”

The two immediately stopped talking, but still attacked each other with fierce eyes.

Old Madam Xiao looked angry: "As the daughters-in-law of the Xiao family, you two actually argued in front of the guests, which simply lost the face of the Xiao family. ”

The two lowered their heads: "The daughter-in-law knows her mistake, please ask the old lady (mother) to calm her anger." ”

Old Madam Xiao glanced at them, and then turned to Li Xuan: "Fourth Master Li, come on, have you stolen a slight jade pendant?" ”

Finally asked him.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at it boldly, the group of women argued for a long time, and finally remembered to ask him as a client.

He was finally able to defend himself.

He opened his mouth and was about to say, "I didn't steal", but Mrs. Xiao's sharp eyes shot over, and he stuck his throat for a while, unable to speak.

Her eyes warned him that he had her poison in his body, that the antidote was still in hers, and that he had to speak as she meant it.

Li Xuan hesitated.

Is it to save your life and admit that you are a thief?

Or do not give in and do not bear the charge of this thief?

He was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Mrs. Xiao San saw that something was wrong with him, and immediately looked at Mrs. Xiao Liu.

Mrs. Xiao Liu withdrew her gaze before she could look at her, and her face was indifferent.

Mrs. Xiao San blinked suspiciously, then walked to Li Xuan's side and said softly: "Xuan'er, don't be afraid, with my aunt here, I will make the decision for you."

"Just tell the truth, don't be nervous."

Mrs. Xiao Liu said lightly: "Yes, Fourth Prince Li, you can tell the truth."

"This man has only one life, you must not lie, be careful of the misfortune that comes out of your mouth."

This doesn't sound like anything wrong, but in Li Xuan's ears, it means threatening him.

Li Xuan fell silent.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Li thought that he had stolen the jade pendant, so she said: "Little four, the people of our Li family have always dared to act, and there is one thing to say.

"If you don't steal, speak up.

"If you steal, sincerely admit your mistake to the old lady, the old lady is very tolerant, and she will not do anything to you."

Old Madam Xiao glanced at her meaningfully.

Li Xuan heard this, and for some reason, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He looked around, and all eyes in the room were focused on him, either suspicious, or disdainful, sympathetic, or gloating...
