Seeing that what he said had an effect, Qian Xiaoshan continued to say mysteriously: "Madam, to say something unpleasant, I think Wei Qi's death is very strange, and it is absolutely inseparable from her family. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man lowered his eyes and thought: If it is according to Qian Xiaoshan's statement, then Wei Qi's death does look very strange.

The pearl on the other side heard this sentence and became more and more unbearable.

She was also sold by her family to be a maid in Xiafu, but unlike Qian Xiaoshan, her family was indeed very difficult, so that she couldn't even eat, in that case, she was sold to Xiafu to be a maid and her life was better.

In addition, Xia Wanrou was also very kind to people, and after following Xiaoman, the treatment was the same as before, or even better, so even if Pearl had been a subordinate for so many years, she still couldn't believe it when she heard what Qian Xiaoshan said.

She and Xiao Man glanced at each other, and said with some reluctance: "If only we had known earlier, then Wei Qi would not have fallen into the current situation." ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of rustling footsteps sounded outside the carriage, and the next moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Jia Meng, who was red from crying and still had tears on his cheeks, appeared in front of everyone.

"Don't stand stupid, come in." As she spoke, Pearl hurriedly pulled the other party into the carriage, and then wiped away the tears of the other party with her own handkerchief.

But the sudden death of her friend hit Jia Meng so hard that she couldn't get out of her grief in a short period of time, and she only cried vigorously, and her tears soaked all the pearls.

Seeing this, Qian Xiaoshan couldn't help but sigh and persuaded: "Life and death are impermanent, Jia Meng, don't be too sad." ”

Jia Meng bit her lip to death, her eyes were red and swollen, and after hearing Qian Xiaoshan's words, she just lowered her head, silently shed tears, and didn't say anything.

Xiao Man sighed when he saw it, and only told the coachman to go back to the house, and didn't say anything else.

The group returned to the county lord's mansion in silence, and on the way, they could only hear the gurgling carriage and Jia Meng's low sobbing.

Jia Meng cried too sadly, and she couldn't breathe for a while, which made Pearl sitting next to her very worried, for fear that she would faint like this.

But fortunately, they returned to the house safe and sound.

Originally, I was going to ask Wei Qi, but I didn't think that the other party was born and died, not to mention whether Xiaoxue had colluded with other people, this incident alone already made Xiaoman very uncomfortable.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to the house, Xiaoman asked the two to go back first, and he returned to the bedroom with the pearl.

The charcoal in the charcoal basin in the bedroom was red, and the whole room was warm, Xiao Man leaned on the soft collapse, staring at the undulating tea leaves in the teacup on the table in a daze.

It was an accident that I bumped into the embroidery girl who partnered to bully Xiaoman, but it also involved a big thing, the embroidery girls were convincing, Xiaoxue refused to admit it, in order to give a few people an explanation, he could only follow the clues to investigate.

From Jia Meng to Qian Xiaoshan, and then to Wei Qi, who died suddenly, this clue seems to be becoming more and more strange, and there are more and more coincidences, so many that Xiaoman has to be suspicious.

"Madam, are you still worried about Xiaoxue's affairs?" Coming in from outside the door with a pearl of snacks, he looked at Xiao Man who was in a daze, and couldn't help but ask softly.

Xiao Man coughed lightly, pulled out of his thoughts, and said: "Xiaoxue doesn't admit that she has done such a thing, and I also think that she has no motive and possibility, but the words of the other embroidery girls are conclusive, and I can't ignore them." ”

She did have some prejudice against Xiaoxue before, but after such a long time, the other party has been peaceful, and cherishes the opportunity she gave very much, gradually, Xiaoman's impression of Xiaoxue has slowly changed.

Otherwise, she wouldn't let Xiaoxue and Wang Youhe live together.

But not long after Xiaoxue moved into Wang Youhe's yard, such a thing happened, which really gave Xiao Man a headache.

"Madam, from what I know about Xiaoxue, she really doesn't look like someone who can do such a thing." Pearl put down her snack and said.

Hearing this, Xiao Man raised his head and glanced at Pearl, and his face, which was still sad, suddenly raised a smile, and she said: "Everyone in the mansion knows that you value and pity Xiaoxue, you say, should I believe what you said at this time?" ”

If Jade said such a thing, Xiao Man might still feel some truth, but the person who said this was Pearl, although it was expected, but it made Xiao Man more and more helpless.

"Madam, I can assure you that what I said is absolutely true, without the slightest favoritism or injustice." Pearl recognized it as true, she said: "Although Xiaoxue, this girl is young, she is also a person who knows how to measure, and she will never do such a thing." ”

Xiao Man scratched his head, and was also a little embarrassed: "Pearl, the current situation is not a matter of whether I believe in Xiaoxue or not, but that things are at an impasse, and I have no way to prove Xiaoxue's innocence." ”

Of course, she hoped that Xiaoxue was wronged, but at that time, the remaining four embroidery girls would have to be punished; If what the show girls said was true, then they would have to punish Xiaoxue, and Xiaoman's cultivation and love for her during this time would have become a thing of the past.

Either way, Xiaoman will lose a lot of things.

Xu is pearl also realized this, she sighed and said: "Madame is right, it seems that we are still a step too late to go, so that the most critical person certificate is gone." ”

"Forget it, don't be too upset, there will always be a solution to things." Xiao Man rubbed his eyebrows, "But there is no direct evidence for this matter, and we can only start from other places, so it may be a little more troublesome." ”

As soon as she heard this, Pearl, who was still frowning, immediately raised her eyebrows and said in surprise: "Madam, does this have a new idea?" ”

She always believes that Xiaoxue is innocent, so of course she can't wait to find out the truth immediately, so that Xiaoxue can be innocent.

"There are solutions, but they need your cooperation." Xiao Man raised his lips and smiled, winking at the pearl, a hint of cunning flashing in his dark eyes.

As he spoke, Xiao Man asked Pearl to lean over, lowered his voice and told the other party about his plan little by little, and then instructed: "Remember, don't goof, you know?" ”

But after hearing this, Pearl was extremely embarrassed, she unconsciously pinched her foot, frowned and said, "Is this really okay?" Ma'am, isn't that a bit ......?"

There was something she couldn't say, but she felt very inappropriate.

"If there's anything here, just go ahead and do what I say." Xiao Man coughed lightly, took a sip of tea lightly, and said slowly: "Don't you also want to know the truth?" Now that Wei Qi is not here, my plan is the easiest and fastest way to achieve results. ”

But the pearl on the side was still very hesitant, rubbing under his feet, the facial features on his face were wrinkled together, and he didn't take half a step away for a long time.

"Okay, okay, you can just go, if there are any misunderstandings and troubles in the future, I should clarify it for you, okay?" Xiaoman persuaded.

"I ......" Pearl still looked constipated, squirming and not moving.

Seeing this, Xiao Man sighed, "Pearl, pearl, you can see how embarrassed I am, if I didn't really find another way, I wouldn't have come up with such a strategy." Besides, don't you want to prove Xiaoxue's innocence? In order to clear her grievances as soon as possible, you can only do what I say. ”

I don't know if it was that sentence that moved Pearl, or if she finally figured it out after struggling for so long, in short, after Xiao Man said this, her originally tangled face had a little more resolute taste, "Okay! Then the slave will go. ”

After saying that, Pearl clenched her fists and swallowed her saliva again, before she said goodbye to her luggage and turned to leave.

Xiao Man, who was on the soft floor, looked at the other party's back, shook his head helplessly, and then picked up the teacup on the table, drank the rest of the tea, and began to prepare for the next thing.

And Pearl went all the way out of Xiaoman's place, and rushed straight to Wang Youhe's yard.

Still blown by the wind, the cold wind blowing on Pearl's face was like a sharp blade, she frowned and shrunk her neck, gritted her teeth, and couldn't help but speed up her steps while she hadn't repented.

When she arrived at the courtyard where Wang Youhe lived, she stood at the door and hesitated for a while, put away her guilt, replaced it with an anxious look, and stomped her feet inside.

"Light snow! Light snow! I've got something to look for you! Pearl shouted as she walked inward, her steps hurried and fast, and her face was a little ugly.

It doesn't matter what this shouting, not only Xiaoxue came out, but even Wang Youhe, who was in the main house, poked his head out to look at it and asked what happened to Pearl.

Fortunately, Pearl has a strong psychological quality, she pursed her lips, and said according to what Xiaoman taught: "Xiaoxue did something wrong, and our wife asked her to question." ”

"Huh?" Wang Youhe was a little surprised, she couldn't help but come out and ask, "What's wrong?" ”

Pearl secretly took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoxue colluded with the maids who came to other mansions to frame the embroidery girl, and it has been found out by our wife, so we have to ask her to go over for questioning!" ”

"What do you say? It can't be, right? Wang Youhe was speechless in shock.

And at this moment, Xiaoxue also came, looking at her gloomy face, Pearl was sure that she had definitely heard what she had just said!

Sure enough, as soon as Xiaoxue approached, she said unhappily: "I said, I haven't done anything like that!" What is the benefit of colluding with the maids from other provinces to drive out the few remaining embroidery girls in the house? Sister Pearl, don't you even believe me? ”

"I ......" Facing Xiao Xue's clear eyes, and the slightest question without a weak heart, Pearl was speechless for a while.

But Wang Youhe on the side said directly, "Sister Xiaoman must have listened to the slander and misunderstood Xiaoxue, so I will go with you so that I can testify to Xiaoxue!" ”
