One hundred and fifty-eight: Inquiry
She hurriedly asked the magpie to come over, told her to bite those secrets to death, and couldn't say a word, and taught her some words to bite Su Yunyao and them.
In fact, she wanted to kill the magpie for a hundred, but the death of the cuckoo had already reminded Su Yao, if the magpie died again at this time, then the four words of being a thief would be written on her face, why did she die if she didn't die sooner or later? It was obviously Cao Qian's hand.
Su Huiyao asked her to beg Su Yao and let Su Yingxiao go, but Cao Qianlian was also powerless when she stood there.
"Let your eldest brother carry it for us, your father is very sensitive to our mother and son now, if it weren't for your eldest brother to carry it, I'm afraid this matter is not over yet."
Later, when she learned that Meng Ruoqian's child had a miscarriage, Cao Qianlian's eyes widened in disbelief.
Su Huiyao said a little angrily, "Sister-in-law is really a mourning star, Mo'er's child was misborn, and her own was not saved, since she married my eldest brother, the eldest brother has never had a good life." ”
"It's also a pity for the child Meng Shi is pregnant, blame her for that stupid thing, if it is good to give birth to a baby, will my brother Xiao'er's child not be able to keep it!" Cao Qianlian kicked the table hard, "Why did my brother marry such a daughter-in-law and come back, it's really a blood mold." ”
Back to Qinzhuxuan, Su Yunyao didn't stop for a moment, and hurried to Su Ning Yuan again.
Qin Manhuai had just woken up and hugged Su Yunyao and cried.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier, I'll help you find a way, how dangerous it is for you to go to a girl's house by yourself, if no one saves you, you..." Qin Manhuai choked up and washed her face with tears, unable to speak.
Su Yunyao helped her comb the broken hair on her forehead, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter discussed with the tenth sister before and asked her to find someone, isn't this a critical moment." ”
"You kid, you just have the right idea!" Qin Manhuai pretended to blame and said, "Don't do this next time, if something happens, what would I do!" ”
Su Yunyao leaned on Qin Manhuai's shoulder, "It's not like this, my daughter won't be like this anymore." ”
"Tell me about you, tossing such a big circle, almost lost your life, what did you get?"
"Why didn't you get it?" Su Yunyao got up, "The people of the second lady have already missed the horse's feet, and the people who chased and killed me have been wiped out by Lu Xiaowang Ye and others, as long as the trial is done well, I don't have to worry about not being able to confess to her Cao Qianpian." ”
Originally, Su Yunyao thought so, the people sent by the second lady were arrested, and it should be a matter of course to confess her, and it would be useless for her father to maintain it at that time.
Even if you get a little injured, it doesn't matter, it's good to be able to hold Cao Qianlian's handle.
Su Yingxiao was grounded again, this time Su Yao bluntly said that he would not be allowed to come out for half a year, in the small black room next to the ancestral hall, there were straw mats and things for eating, which could be said to be very different from his previous life.
He also quibbled that the prostitute named Yueyun came out of the mud and was not stained, and he went to become a prostitute because he was forced to live in the middle of the road, and besides, there is no distinction between high and low, so why should he look down on them as prostitutes?
Hearing this, Su Yao only felt a rush of blood in his head, and he wanted to beat this unfortunate one to death with one punch.
"Why didn't you see you so learned in the past? Standing here with your father, what is the difference between high and low, do you still have a face? Arrange for you to be grounded near the ancestral hall and repent, I am afraid that the ancestors will dislike you! ”
Su Yingxiao was still 11,000 unconvinced, if he was half a point again, I was afraid that he would pick up his fist and beat his father.
Fortunately, he didn't do this, he just thought about it for a while, otherwise if this punch really hit, I'm afraid he won't be able to live well for half of his life.
That night, Su Yao asked Qiu Li to bring the magpie, and the five flowers tied something in their mouths and knelt in Yu Hongyuan's courtyard.
"Do you know why I brought you here?" Su Yao asked.
The magpie shook her head, unable to speak, but she was wronged.
"Originally, this matter should have been handled by Chang Xizhai, but the old lady is too old to see blood in the courtyard, so I brought you here."
This is the dismount, Su Yao is scaring her.
"From now on, I'll ask you a question, if there is a half-lie, do you see the bench over there?" Su Yao pointed to the bench standing next to him as he spoke, "My Su family doesn't mind killing a slave, do you hear clearly?" ”
The magpie nodded hurriedly, and the look was eager to knock the ground out of the hole.
Qiu Li approached, took the magpie's mouth out, and asked the other two servants to untie her.
"Lord, do you need to bring the eleven girls?"
"No need." Su Yao raised his hand to stop her, "She was frightened and fell into the water today, don't let her run back and forth, tell the kitchen to make something good and make it up for her." ”
The magpie watched Qiu Li go out, looked at Su Yao tremblingly, licked his lips nervously, and his frightened eyes trembled.
"Miss Eleven said that you once went to the corner gate to give the money to outsiders, but is there such a thing?"
"No, no," the magpie's head shook like a rattle, "The slave knows that it is a sin to steal the money from the house, and the slave and the maid dare not do that." ”
"You're not honest." Su Yao's tone cooled.
"Lord, the slave doesn't dare to lie to you!" The magpie almost cried, "Those words were all said by the eleventh girl, and even the words of the witness may be false without evidence, lord, you believe the slave maid, where does the slave dare to lie to you!" ”
Su Yao's face was gloomy, and he asked again, "What did the cuckoo do on the day the fifth girl died?" ”
The magpie pretended to think for a while, "Back to the lord, that day she said to the slave and maid that she had saved some money, and she usually couldn't send it out, because the second lady was very strict with the slaves and maids, and she was absolutely not allowed to steal money from the slave and maid in the courtyard of Yingxiaju, so the cuckoo took advantage of the mess that day and sent the money out, if this thing was poked out, it would be a terrible sin, the cuckoo didn't dare to say, this was somehow used by the eleventh girl, maybe it was the eleven girl who calculated it, the lord!" ”
"You are a slave and maid, and you keep saying that the eleventh girl wronged and framed you, is this what you should say?"
"The slave is guilty!" The magpie kowtowed.
Su Yao took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Do you know about Qinzhuxuan's Songyin tricking the eleventh girl into going to the rice village?" ”
The magpie quickly shook his head.
"Don't tell the truth." Su Yao waved his hand, "Let's hit ten boards first." ”
The two little men dragged the magpie up one by one, and she struggled but it was useless, after all, the strength of a woman was not as strong as that of a man.
The other guy lifted the board and hit the board hard, and the magpie screamed again and again, and then the board after the board, and the magpie felt that she was about to get through it, but she still got through.
Unable to walk at all, the two little guys dragged her and threw her to the ground.
"Stand and keep talking, talk well." Su Yao looked at her.
"Lord, what the slave and maid say is the truth!" The magpie choked up, "If the slave maid has a sentence that lies to you, then let the heavens thunder and kill the slave and maid!" ”
"Poisoning the oath is useless to me, if you can't spit out some actual things, then beat until you are willing to say it."
"What do you want to hear, my lord?" The magpie got up weakly and knelt down, "What the slave said is the truth, you just believe the slave and the slave, otherwise even if the slave and the slave are killed, the slave and the slave will not be clear!" ”
Qiu Li came back from outside and pulled her shoulder, "If you don't explain honestly, continue to go on the bench and go to the board!" ”
"That's it." Su Yao waved his hand: "Why do you insist on keeping a secret for the second lady?" ”
"The second lady has no secrets! As you said, the seven girls killed the cuckoo, and the slave and maid must not be taken seriously by them, and if there is such a thing, they must kill the slave and maid, so why do the slaves and maids hide it for them? Pray that the lord will be the master for the slave and the maid, and for the second lady, she is wronged! ”
That's what she said.
Thinking of Cao Qianlian's desperate attempt to prove her innocence, although Su Yao knew that she had something in it that made him soft-hearted, he believed it somewhat.
What the magpie said doesn't seem like a lie...
"Go back, take good care of your lady, and I'll pass on something to you. Qiu Li, arrange someone to monitor Yingxiaju, and the people in Yingxiaju are not allowed to go out of the courtyard. ”
"Yes, my lord." Qiu Li said, letting the two little guys carry the magpie away.
Back at Yingxia House, the magpie didn't wait for a break to slow down for a while, and saw Liu's mother enter the house, "The lady is looking for you." ”
"Mother Liu, let me take it easy, this board hurts so badly that it's hard to walk."
"You still let the lady wait for you?" Liu's mother persuaded, "Xinglang can be in the hands of the lady, if you are disobedient, then how can Xinglang be good?" ”
There was a trace of unwillingness in the magpie's eyes, but he still got up and went to Cao Qianlian's house with Liu's mother.
"What did you say to the Lord?" Cao Qianlian didn't care about the magpie's injuries at all.
She explained what happened and what she said in Yu Hongyuan, and Cao Qianlian was very satisfied after listening to it, "Well said!" In this way, the lord will be less suspicious of me. ”
"Lady, that Xinglang he... He's not in good health, and he's not always locked up..."
"Don't worry, Xinglang is your sweetheart, I naturally want to treat him well, as long as you are obedient, there will be no time for him to suffer!" Then, Cao Qianlian complained a little, "You have been with me for many years, I originally wanted to pick a good family for you, but I didn't want you to take the initiative to hook up with such a thing... It's like a slap in the face! That's it, since you and Na Xinglang are in love, I can't break you up, but what to do in the future, do you know? ”
The magpie repeatedly expressed his loyalty: "Slave and maid understand! Slave maid understands! From the slave and maid, the lord and the king can't ask a word! ”
"Really sensible!" Cao Qianlian smiled and handed the ointment box to her: "It hurts to hit the board, right?" This medicine is the most effective for the wound on the board, take it and put it on, don't be disabled, you will be Xinglang's bride in the future. ”
The magpie smiled wryly, took the medicine and limped away.
Behind her, there was Cao Qian's vicious gaze.
