Chapter 22, whose lover
The candle flame was blown by the wind and swayed a little, and the figures under the lamp swayed.
In the middle of the night, it was quiet, and the surroundings were quiet, only the voice of the maid Xiaolan, and the words with a slight fear sounded at the entrance of the courtyard, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Mu Lan's face changed instantly, and she glared at the maid angrily.
Dong Qing frowned, and said a little angrily for a while: "Can you see that person clearly?" actually did such a reckless thing in the house, but it stained Siniang's innocence for no reason! Catch people out, and don't stay to teach Siniang badly! β
Gu Changge nodded, and his voice became more serious: "That woman who had a private meeting, can you see her face clearly?" β
"The slave sees clearly." Xiaolan knelt on the ground and trembled, she lowered her head and didn't dare to raise it, her voice was full of fear: "That person... That person is Miss Four! β
As soon as the words came out, everyone's expressions turned to astonishment, and there was an uproar. Mu Lan clenched her fists and said indignantly: "Phew! Where did the girl treat you badly? You slander the girl's innocence like this! β
Xiaolan trembled even more, crying and shouting, "The slave didn't lie! That man, that man is still in the lady's room! Sister Mulan, they are in a group, because I will kill me and shut me up when I see it, Second Miss, Second Miss, you save the slave maid, the slave and the maid really didn't lie! β
As she spoke, she pulled Gu Changge's skirt and begged, kowtowing uncontrollably for help. Xiaolan cried so much, her whole body was still trembling, but she was obviously afraid. A little maid, in the end, has no ability to arrange the master. If there was no man in Gu Mingxiu's room, she would not be afraid of being like this.
Besides, as soon as he came over, what he saw was that Mu Lan was violently dragging people inside, if it wasn't for the truth to hide the truth, why be so fierce.
Everyone looked at Mu Lan's gaze and changed a little.
whispered for a while, all discussing the shamelessness of the fourth lady's private meeting with her lover.
"Don't say much!" Gu Changge frowned and whispered. She rarely has such an angry face, her eyebrows frowned lightly but with a little worry, looking at it made people feel that she was embarrassed, "The fourth sister is too young, I want to come... I think I was deceived. β
At a glance, I knew that this was a good sister who didn't want to believe that her sister was a bad person, and it was she who was in a dilemma but made people feel sorry.
"Yes, yes, Siniang is too young, where do you know this, it must be the disciple who coaxed her!" Dong Qing patted Gu Changge's back and said softly.
Mu Lan stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the mother and daughter who were making a play with cold eyes, and she only felt funny in her heart: obviously she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, and she hadn't caught the so-called disciple, so she said every word here, and made ironclad evidence of her girl's private meeting with her lover.
"Now I'm going to tie up that disciple, Siniang she...."Dong Qing asked someone to tear away Mu Lan, frowned and walked inside, "Old lady, they are all asleep, don't alarm them tonight." It's just that I have to tell my lady about it....." She commanded calmly.
Gu Mingxiu's door was closed tightly, Dong Qing pushed it but didn't push it, and for a moment he was angry, and he took a small step back and said, "Knock the door open!" β
The family member who received the order quickly stepped forward and slammed the door open with three strikes and five divisions. The bolt fell to the ground, Dong Qing led the people into the door quickly, and said angrily: "Siniang, give me to the ancestral hall and kneelββ"
"Aunt Qing, don't hurt the fourth sister!" The men passed past them, and they all went to arrest the so-called disciples. Gu Changge saw that Dong Qing's voice was dyed with anger, and worriedly stepped forward to grab the corner of her clothes, and followed Dong Qing to open the curtain.
When they entered the door, everyone stopped in unison.
Gu Mingxiu, who was leaning on the small collapse, casually put down the hand in his hand, his eyes were black and white, slightly smiling, and a little cool, and fell lightly on the people who entered the door. She fell on Dong Qing, who was the leader, with a gentle voice and cold words: "Aunt Qing is so interested, she doesn't sleep late at night, but she forcibly broke into my house with so many people." β
The interior room is furnished with simplicity and elegance, the bedding on the bed is clean and not messy, and the screen is folded so that the large structure can be seen at a glance. There are only two people, and there is a third person hidden there.
Mo Zhu was cleaning up the tea on the table for Gu Mingxiu, quietly glanced at the person who entered the door, and stood behind Gu Mingxiu without saying a word after packing up his things.
"I dare to smash the door at will, and my maid dares to grab it at will, are you a little impatient?" Gu Mingxiu tilted his head, his eyes fell on the subordinate who was holding Miao Lan, slightly cool.
The man shuddered and let go. Mu Lan rubbed her wrist, raised her foot and stepped on the man's instep viciously, ran to Mo Zhu's side in two or three steps, told Fang Cai about it, and said loudly: "Girl, these people said that they came to arrest you, and there is a lover who has a private meeting with you." β
"I don't know when I'll have a lover." Gu Mingxiu said slowly, raised his eyes, and looked at Dong Qing and Gu Changge with a smile, "Aunt Qing and second sister, which one is this singing?" β
Dong Qing's face changed slightly, but he still said with a straight face: "Siniang, you are still young, hand over the people." She sighed and said a little unbearably, "Only our people in the house know about this... You are really, alas, to invite the fourth lady to the ancestral hall to kneel. The last sentence is addressed to the two grandmothers on the left and right.
"Who dares to touch our girl!" Mo Zhu's face sank and glared at those who stepped forward.
Gu Mingxiu brushed away her long hair and looked at the little maid beside Dong Qing who was bowing her head lightly: "That's what you said....I hugged people and had a private meeting with my lover?" β
Xiaolan lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her: "Slave, slave, slave saw someone coming over the wall....."
"Oh." Slightly prolonged her voice, interrupting Xiaolan's words. Gu Mingxiu raised his eyes to meet Dong Qing's gaze, the bottom of his dark eyes was indifferent, and Dong Qing frowned, Gu Changge was faintly a little uneasy.
Gu Mingxiu nodded, and said casually: "I haven't seen the lover who came over the wall to have a private meeting with me, but there is a thief who came over the wall." She looked at Mo Zhu and ordered, "Bring someone up and let her recognize it to see if it's the lover who hugged me." β
Mozhu understood, and his chin went.
Leaning over slightly and leaning his head on the palm of his hand, Gu Mingxiu's voice was faintly smiling: "Aunt Qing also came in time, if it is a little later, maybe Siniang will hand over the thief to the government early tomorrow morning." β
Dong Qing's face changed slightly, and he was about to say something. As if she understood what she was going to say, Miao Lan pursed her lips: "Auntie may not know, that thief was caught by Agarwood with a few little maids, but he is also stupid, he can't even climb a wall, and he fell his legs." β
Mo Zhu soon led people up, and a few little maids grabbed a lame young man who had just walked into the house, Dong Qing was slightly stunned when he saw the person, and he heard Xiaolan kneeling down trembling all over, and shouted: "It's him!" It's this person who has a private meeting with Miss Four! Certainly, it must have been the fourth lady who knew that she had been found and said that she was a thiefβ"
Dong Qing's face changed suddenly, and the expressions of the people around him were also a little strange.
Before she finished speaking, Mo Zhu raised her hand and gave Xiaolan a slap neatly, teaching her to look panicked and not dare to say more.
Xiaolan covered her face and knelt on the ground, looking at everyone tremblingly, but seeing the strange faces of the people who had done it, Dong Qing was faintly a little angry. She panicked in her heart, didn't know what she had done wrong, and turned her head helplessly to look at Gu Mingxiu.
Gu Mingxiu's expression was cold and indifferent, and he said softly: "You run between the two places of the Zhilan Courtyard of the Mingxin Pavilion all day long, and you must not recognize this person." She looked at the young man, the corners of her lips slightly raised.
The maid let go of her hand, and the young man straightened up, and stepped aside with a respectful face, looking lame and frightened.
Gu Mingxiu said lightly: "This is the son of the account room, a person from the house, and I just sent someone to call him over." β
Xiaolan trembled: "Yes, it's the slave who admits her mistake." The slave was too far away to see the man..."
"You can't see the man's face clearly, so now you mistake him." Gu Mingxiu nodded gently, and Xiaolan also nodded desperately, "Then at the same distance, you can see clearly, that woman is me?" β
Her voice was cold, and she turned indifferent, and at this moment she was extremely sharp: "It's obviously nonsense, ruining my reputation." There are no men hugging me, so what do you see? It's just a story that has been made up for a long time, saying, "Who instructed you?" β
Xiaolan was so frightened by her stern voice that she couldn't stop kowtowing: "Slave, slave didn't mean it, Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss, spare the slave!" β
"It's you maid who messes with your tongue!" Seeing this, Dong Qing immediately glared at the maid with an angry face, "It's like this to provoke us and Siniang, it's not good to see you clean up!" β
"Fourth sister, we listened to her and misunderstood you." Gu Changge felt guilty and blamed himself.
Dong Qingdao said: "Siniang, you have a good rest, leave these individuals to me, I will find out, don't teach you badly." β
She waved her hand and was about to take down Xiaolan, who had been kowtowing. The two grandmothers who had just come in with Mo Zhu silently stepped forward to stop them, and two maids grabbed Xiaolan and dragged her back.
Gu Mingxiu smiled faintly: "Since it is the maid in my courtyard, it is better for me to handle it myself, why bother?" Tomorrow it will be handed over to the government, and it will be dealt with together. β
Dong Qing hurriedly said: "Siniang, you are young and not sensible!" If this reaches the government, it will not be good for your reputation! β
The cold gaze collided with Dong Qing's, and Gu Mingxiu looked at her fixedly: "Siniang has never had a lover at night, nor has she wronged anyone, why is it bad for my reputation?" There are so many witnesses here," she curled the corners of her lips, and there was a little provocation in her eyes, "Thank you Aunt Qing for bringing so many people." β
The hand under the sleeve was tightened, Gu Changge opened his lips before he could speak, Gu Mingxiu said coldly: "Siniang's matter, Siniang will solve it by herself, don't bother the second sister and Aunt Qing!" β
The voice was cold and sharp, and it was a bit imposing.
"The girl is tired," Miao Lan stepped forward to help Gu Mingxiu, and Mo Zhu stopped at the right time and smiled slightly, "Please." β
