Eighty-Eight: Disappointment
Su Yunyao knelt upright, "Father, Zhao Lu shouted and screamed in Qinzhuxuan in the past, and served by his daughter's side for many years, and he didn't take a first-class maid like Lixi Lisheng in his eyes at all, and he even called and drank to the second-class maids on weekdays, and it was common to beat and scold the third-class maids. ”
Su Yao kept his face calm and continued to listen to her.
"Everyone in Qinzhuxuan can be a witness, they are all complaining about Zhaolu, if my father doesn't believe it, just ask a few more questions!"
Zhao Lu kowtowed twice: "Lord, save the slave!" Qin Zhuxuan is all the people under the girl's hands, and what they say can't be counted! ”
"Then I'll ask you again. Why did you learn about such a fatal thing, the eldest lady did not kill you, nor did she sell you, and she didn't even drive you to the Zhuangzi to do rough work, but let you serve in the kitchen unscathed, do you want to tell me that my mother, the eldest lady, is stupid? ”
Su Yunyao's voice became louder and louder, so frightened that Zhao Lu didn't even dare to raise her head.
Indeed, leaving such a dangerous person in the mansion, even Su Yao would not do this, it belongs to putting a knife next to him that will cut him at any time!
"Father, a few days after Zhaolu went to the kitchen to serve, the seventh sister and the third sister went to the kitchen to make fruit for their father to eat, if it was really a false accusation, then it all makes sense, my father just needs to ask the people in the kitchen and ask the two sisters if they have been in contact with Zhaolu."
"You're here to decide the case for you?" Su Yao's tone was unusually calm, but he hit Su Yunyao's eardrum word by word.
Yes, since he called himself, most of them believed Cao Qianlian.
The testimony is what it says, and the physical evidence is also in his own room, so what else is there to quibble?
At this time, Su Yunyao realized how much her father loved the Cao family, no matter how many wrong things she did, as long as she said that she was wronged, she was wronged, but she wanted to frame whom, just spit out a few mouthfuls of blood casually to make the planting confirmed.
At this moment, Su Yunyao felt as if her whole body was doused with ice water, and even her heart was cold.
"Yu Yao and Hui Yao will never harm their mother, this thing Taoist priest said that it is very evil, and if you don't pay attention, you will die! Do you think they're as ruthless as you are? ”
"If it's really me who did it, I'd rather take her Cao's life if I don't pay attention!" Su Yunyao's tears flowed out uncontrollably, and her hands clutched the corners of her sleeves tightly.
This was the first time she had confronted her father in more than ten years, and the first time she had shouted with him.
She also said why she couldn't say it, it was resentment? Is it helplessness? Are you worried that you will be framed? She didn't know it herself.
All she knew was that she felt very uncomfortable now, like a knife.
Su Yao obviously didn't expect his daughter, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, to be like this, so he was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to react.
"You rebel! You're the opposite! ”
"I call you father, but you would rather unjustly kill your daughter than let others turn against the sky, what qualifications do you have to reprimand me here now!" Su Yunyao held her breath and prepared to slap her next.
Su Yao was really not used to her, this slap was much harder than Fang Cai's, and she was dizzy and fell to the ground. His face seemed to have been burned with a soldering iron, and he didn't dare to reach out and touch it in pain.
The door was opened again, and the old lady walked in with Qin Manhuai's support, and happened to see Su Yunyao who fell to the ground, and immediately became angry.
"What are you going to do!"
"The son is teaching this femme fatale unfilial girl!" Su Yao didn't give his mother face, his anger didn't decrease by half, but he blew his beard and glared at Qin Manhuai, he knew that the old lady was invited by her.
"Okay, somehow get a Taoist priest, and then don't tell me anything, lynching here at this time, it's good, it's good!" The old lady said as she walked, and the sleeves of her robe were flicked fiercely, and the vase on the lid of the box fell to the ground and shattered.
Qin Manhuai's eyes were full of tears, she helped Su Yunyao up, and looked at her red and swollen face and cried uncontrollably.
"Why are you so ruthless, official? Today's incident is clearly said to be a false accusation, and you don't even ask about the details? ”
"She confessed it herself!" Su Yao pointed at Su Yunyao, "She admitted it herself!" admit that you want to kill the second lady! ”
Su Yunyao looked at her father, the two looked at each other, and a chill flashed in her eyes, which made Su Yao feel a little strange in an instant.
"When did my daughter admit it? My daughter didn't harm the second lady, she planted all this for me! Besides, she used to poison the dishes and wanted to poison the three of us sisters, where were you at that time, father? Reluctant to beat them, reluctant to scold them, and even the grounding is what you begged to forge, is it true that in my father's heart, the life and reputation of our whole family are not as good as the second lady and the two sisters? If that's the case, there's no need for the daughter to stay here, it's not terrible for someone to frame it, but it's terrible that there is someone behind that person who can't be provoked! The terrible thing is that the man was blinded! ”
When Su Yao heard this, it was like five thunderbolts, originally there were only the two of them in the house, she said that it might be nothing, and it would be enough to hear it, but at this moment, the old lady and the eldest lady were also there, and they would not pretend not to hear it.
"When the Cao family entered my Su family with dirty means, I thought that you would be able to see her clearly at that time, she has not done good things and bad things over the years, you said it yourself, how many times did you ask the eldest lady behind your back? Every time the eldest lady pleads with me, I am very irritable, and I don't want to see the eldest lady at that time, but do you remember the eldest lady's good? Do you think that her daughters are all pure-minded? The old lady said almost half-roaring, and coughed violently twice.
"Mother, don't be angry." Su Yao's voice softened.
"Since you believe in the second lady, let me be an old lady who is dead! If the whole family doesn't believe in it, you believe it alone, think about it, whether it's her fault or the whole family's fault! The old lady slapped the table, and there was a bitter tone in her words.
Su Yao pondered for a while, "Then since this is the case, it's good that the matter is resolved, then let Yun Yao explain it clearly." ”
Su Yunyao didn't want to argue with her father anymore, but Fang Cai's words had already broken her heart.
But Qin Manhuai pulled her sleeve on the side and motioned for her to say.
yes, you can't be a ghost anyway, can you?
"Grandmother believes in Buddhism, when will it be the turn of our Su family to come to the door with a Taoist priest? If the second lady takes the initiative to mention it, then she is unfilial! ”
Su Yao would not have taken the initiative to find a Taoist priest anyway, it was the maid Du Juan beside Cao Qianlian, who said that her lady's illness was very evil, and the doctor couldn't cure it, so she asked Su Yao if there was any evil spirit.
Although he immediately interrupted this thought, it also took root in his heart.
Later, Cao Qianlian begged him to invite a Taoist priest to come, saying that the maid magpie had acquaintances in Daoshan, so he invited the Taoist priest.
Su Yunyao continued, "If my father looks for that Taoist priest again, he will definitely not be able to find it, not so much that he ran away, or that there is no such person at all, because the overall situation has been decided, no one will doubt him, as long as I am wronged, who can still check if there is a problem with that Taoist priest?" ”
"You talk nonsense!" Su Yao said incorrectly: "That Taoist priest was invited by me!" Can there be anything wrong? ”
"But what you invited was not a random one, but a specific person, the one that the second lady asked you to find!"
The old lady snorted coldly on the side, Su Yao lowered his head and refused to look up for a long time.
"Also, Zhaolu and the second lady are the same kind of person, she pretends to be pitiful in front of her daughter in Qinzhuxuan, and she is very angry in front of other maids, what is the use of such a person staying in Qinzhuxuan? If she really knew about her daughter, then she would have just kicked her out of the house, why didn't she have an accident sooner or later, and it didn't happen until the two sisters went to the kitchen? And why is it when my daughter is away? Isn't my father curious? ”
Seeing that Su Yao was silent, Su Yunyao held up the pain from the broken corners of her mouth, and simply said clearly, "There is no wooden figure in my daughter's room at all, after the second lady designed it for you, she either bought the girl in my room, or put it on the wooden figure by someone with bad intentions when I was not in your search, can't you see through such a simple thing?" ”
"I'm your father! Are you calling me stupid? Su Yaoqi's face turned red and white.
Su Yunyao shook her head, but she had already scolded him for being stupid thousands of times in her heart.
"No matter if someone frames you, or who buys anyone, it's impossible for anyone to hurt themselves, that's a fatal thing, you have no brains to be a second lady?" Su Yao's tone was still not good, "This matter is over, no one is allowed to mention it!" ”
"Why not?" Su Yunyao looked up at him in astonishment, "My daughter has been wronged so much, why don't you make decisions for me?" ”
"Who knows if you've been framed? Maybe you've just thought of your rhetoric! ”
Su Yao was not completely suspicious of Cao Qianlian, although he vaguely felt that something was wrong with Cao Qianlian in his heart, but he didn't want to think like that.
It's his own daughter, he feels indebted, and the two slaps just now are forceful.
But if it wasn't the daughter's grievance, then only Cao Qianlian and the other two daughters were wronged.
Su Yao couldn't make a decision, the matter had come to this point, it was better to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and this matter would end here.
But Su Yunyao's heart is now like ashes, and she doesn't even want to argue.
Qin Manhuai was angry, changed his usual gentle appearance, and pointed at Su Yao and said, "Okay!" Okay very! Official, you are so ruthless, you are willing to sacrifice our daughter for the sake of the second lady, right? What my sister said is yes, I can't let her go, otherwise it will be a big mistake if I make a mistake, and there will be a day when I regret it! Let me tell you, not only is Yun'er disappointed in you, but I am also disappointed in you! In the future, you don't want me to take care of Cao's family! ”
If you say that, Qin Manhuai helped Su Yunyao up, and the two helped each other to leave Yu Hongyuan.
The old lady looked at him coldly, glanced at her, and followed Mama Zhou away.
