When the envelope was opened, there was only a thin piece of paper with a few crooked words written on it: I went to find my son.

Xiao Man pinched the piece of paper and was stunned for a long time, she couldn't tell what her emotions were, sadness, remorse, or sour and sad, she didn't know herself, in short, she didn't want to say anything now, she didn't want to do anything.

There was originally a low crying and chattering in the house, but after a long time, no one dared to speak anymore, and several embroidery girls in the hall gathered together, lowered their heads and pinched the corners of their clothes, and did not dare to come out of the atmosphere.

No one expected things to come to this point, but the more this happens, the more severely these people in the hall will be punished. Xiao Man rubbed his eyebrows, carefully folded the paper in his hand, put it back in the envelope, and then drank a cup of tea.

She cheered up and looked at the hall, and coughed lightly, "Now that Zhao Fen has been wronged to death by you, what, Chen Ru, aren't you going to confess your guilt?" ”

"I... I'm not guilty! At this time, Chen Ru still did not repent, she thought to herself, anyway, Zhao Fen is dead, it is impossible to jump out and refute what she said is wrong, so that she will not admit her guilt!

Xiaoman didn't bother to talk nonsense with her anymore, and said directly: "You planned all this, you don't have to deny it, and you don't have to rack your brains to find a scapegoat, I have already got the evidence, and it's useless for you to regret it." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Man stretched out his hand and pointed at Qian Juan, "And you, how do you plan to compensate for scratching Miss Wang?" ”

Qian Juan was stunned for a moment, then looked straight at Zhao Ru, gritted her teeth and said, "You betrayed me!" Chen Ru, did you say that?! ”

"I didn't say it! Not me! Chen Ru immediately refused, without even looking at the other party.

But where is Qian Juan a person who is so easy to believe, after all, in the interrogation just now, Qian Juan ranked second, if someone betrayed her, it would definitely be Chen Ru!

So, Qian Juan didn't care what the occasion was, she rushed straight to Chen Ru's side, knocked the person down directly, and pressed the other party with red eyes, "Isn't it you?" Chen Ru, you dare to betray us! You don't have to die well! ”

Chen Rusheng is burly, has great strength, and is a few years older than Qian Juan, so before Qian Juan can press her down, Chen Ru turned over and pressed Qian Juan, grabbed the other party's neck with both hands, and shouted: "You crazy woman!" I said no, no, believe it or not! ”

"You're ahead of me, not what you said, who is that?" Qian Juan blushed and shouted in a rough voice.

"It's not me! It can't be me! Chen Ru pulled her throat, and every time she had to raise her voice one more key than Qian Juan's.

The two of you quarrel with me, it's always those few words over and over, Xiao Man is tired of listening, plus she just learned of Zhao Fen's death, she is not very calm in her heart, so after the two of them quarrel in the hall for a few words, Xiao Man beckoned and asked Xiao Man to pull the two apart.

After the house calmed down, Xiao Man said: "Qian Juan, you don't have to be angry, this thing was done by you, and you will have to take responsibility sooner or later." Yesterday I said that the first one to answer will be rewarded with a tael of silver. ”

As she spoke, a little maid walked up to Qian Juan with a tael of silver, Qian Juan was overjoyed, and she couldn't care about the messy hair that was grabbed by Chen Ru, so she reached out to get it.

At this time, Xiao Man said again: "But what about it, it cost about three or four taels of silver to find a doctor and get medicine for Miss Wang yesterday, even if you count these two taels of silver, you still owe me two taels, Qian Juan, how should you pay it back?" ”

"I..."Qian Juan was speechless, she didn't expect such a play.

"That's it, I guess you won't be able to get three or four taels of silver for a while, so I've helped you think of a way." Xiao Man got up and walked down, walked straight to Qian Juan, stood still, and smiled slightly: "You arrested Miss Wang, then now I will find someone to arrest you, what do you say?" ”

Qian Juan was stunned.

Xiao Man raised his eyebrows: "What, do you think this deal is not cost-effective, and you still seem to lose money directly?" ”

"No, no, no!" Qian Juan finally reacted now, she cried with a sad face, "Madam, please spare me, where do I have so much silver......"

"So, you're agreeing to my other approach." Xiao Man smiled.

Qian Juan subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, if she chose to be slapped directly, then she wouldn't have to lose money.

Thinking like this, Qian Juan hurriedly swallowed the rejection that was about to be spoken, and then asked, "If I get slapped, ...... one or two pieces of silver?"

"Of course it's still yours, my words count, and I will reward you when I say thank you." Xiaoman chuckled.

"Good! Then do as Madame says, and you can beat me! After speaking, Qian Juan closed her eyes tightly, her facial features wrinkled together, waiting for the next slap.

The people next to him looked at Qian Juan's appearance of not dying for money, and they all frowned, or pouted or nervous, and a few people watched the show with cold eyes.

Soon, Xiao Man summoned a row of maids who were doing rough work, everyone was about the same size as Chen Ru, Xiao Man swept over, specially picked a girl with long nails, and asked, "Have you seen the scratches on Miss Wang's face?" ”

The maid nodded, "I saw it." ”

"That's good." Xiao Man nodded with satisfaction, pointed at Qian Juan, who was still closing her eyes, covered her lips and whispered: "Go ahead, just scratch her face with a scratch similar to Miss Wang's face, it can only be heavy, not light, you know?" ”

"Yes!"

The maid passed violently, rolled up her sleeves, rounded her arms, and slapped Qian Juan's face with all her strength.

"Smack-"

A crisp and loud sound sounded, Qian Juan wailed, and was about to open her eyes, the maid riveted again, stretched out her right hand to make an eagle claw shape, and scratched Qian Juan's face fiercely, from the cheekbones to the neck, three scratches were clearly visible, and blood soon oozed out.

At this time, Qian Juan couldn't hold back any longer, and cried "wow" before she opened her eyes, if it weren't for the two little guys holding her, I'm afraid she would roll directly to the ground and roll.

Seeing Qian Juan biting her lip and crying with one hand covering the wound, Xiaoman's mood suddenly improved a lot, she ordered the little maid to give Qian Juan the reward of one tael, and said, "Okay, let's get the money and goods, Qian Juan, are you still satisfied?" ”

Being beaten like this, I don't know how many times heavier than Wang Youhe's face, how could Qian Juan be satisfied, but after all, this was what she promised personally, and now she is embarrassed to regret it, so she has to knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, crying and nodding to say that she is satisfied.

After finishing Qian Juan, Xiaoman asked the maid to slap Chen Ru a few times, so as to avenge Simei Sizhu.

Xiao Man stepped forward and glanced at the scratches on Qian Juan's face, then looked at Chen Ru's swollen pig's face, nodded with great satisfaction, and smiled at the maid, "Remember to come to my room to receive the reward later." ”

The maid didn't expect to receive a reward for beating someone, so she happily responded and bowed and left.

glanced at the rest of the people, and as soon as they came into contact with Xiao Man's gaze, they all lowered their heads, looking afraid that they would also be slapped by the stout maid.

Xiao Man snorted coldly, returned to his position, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ru, now you don't have to quibble, I have planned all this by you." You hid Zhao Fen's luggage and hid her son's ashes to threaten her so that she could be your scapegoat. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ru was obviously panicked, he didn't expect Xiao Man to know so much.

But that's not all, Xiao Man continued: "Since you set off from Beijing, you have blindly bullied Zhao Fen, asked her to do laundry, fetch water, boil water for you, and let her go to the kitchen in the middle of the night to get something for you to eat, right?" ”

Chen Ru's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, his lips opened and closed up and down, but he couldn't make any sound.

She didn't expect that Xiaoman would know so many details, and even what happened on the way from Shangjing to Canglan was clear......

Who told her this? Zhao Fen? Impossible, Zhao Fen is timid and afraid, and he can't write many words, even if he explains the truth of the matter on the suicide note just now, it is impossible to write so much on such a short piece of paper.

Chen Ru thought quickly, went through everyone's faces in his mind, and finally fixed his suspicion on the embroidery girl who was interrogated after him.

It's definitely them, it's definitely them who tell the truth!

"Chen Ru!" Xiao Man shouted angrily, interrupting Chen Ru's thoughts, she glared at Chen Ru, "What, do you still want to blame others for the matter?" ”

"I didn't!" Chen Ru gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, "I didn't do all this, it's definitely not me!" Madame, don't wronged the good people! If... If you wronged me again, then I can only follow Zhao Fen's example and prove my innocence with death! ”

At the end, Chen Ruyi became excited, trying to scare Xiaoman with death, so that the other party could alleviate his suspicions.

But Xiaoman just sneered, "Okay, then you can prove it, I will never stop you!" ”

Chen Ru's face was red and green, and it was wonderful for a while, she was held by the little girl, her eyes stared at Xiao Man with hatred, fortunately the jar was broken, and she yelled at the throat: "It's not all because of you!" You haven't paid me for so long, and we can't do anything but do it! ”

The people next to him didn't expect Chen Ru to blow himself up, and they all panicked, even Qian Juan's face changed, changed her previous resentment towards Chen Ru, and reminded carefully: "Chen Ru, what are you talking about?" Be careful—"

"Be careful, be careful!" Chen Ruyi shook his hair and turned his face sideways to glare at Qian Juan, "Who of us is not here for money?" How did Su Xiaoman promise us at the beginning? Arrange a job for us as soon as possible, and pay us monthly money as soon as possible, but what about later? More than a month has passed, and she hasn't given us a penny! ”

"How did you get here for more than a month?" Xiao Man got up, her chest rose and fell violently in anger, her temples swelled and ached, she pointed at Chen Ru and said, "Did I let you sleep on the streets?" Have you been left unclothed? Did you starve? ”
