The little maid raised her head, her delicate face full of tears.

"I'm the maid in charge of the flowers and plants in the garden. I happened to be on duty today, first the fourth lady took the warbler to the lake to see the lotus, and then the second lady came with a breeze, and the third lady came last. The three of them talked together, and at first they were talking and laughing, but then somehow, the second miss and the third miss quarreled. ”

The corner of her eyes lifted lightly to bring the old lady's face into her eyes, and her eyebrows suddenly trembled and she said, "Later...... Afterward...... The second lady stepped forward and slapped the third lady, and the slave maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, only to hear the third lady shout, 'Second sister, you are so ruthless, I don't live anymore' and threw herself into the river, and the rest is unknown. ”

The old lady's eyes instantly sharpened: "Big lady, am I wrong?" The daughter you taught well, the one next to her hasn't learned yet, but she has learned to be in the nest. ”

Chen just wanted to distinguish, but was stopped by Gu's gaze, lowered his head and did not speak.

The eldest lord Jiang Hongjian saw that his mother was angry, and hurriedly shouted: "Fool, don't make amends to your mother." Mother, everything will be said when the third lady wakes up, whether it is a beating or a punishment, and the son listens to his mother. ”

The old lady nodded without a hint of expression, and seemed to be quite satisfied with the attitude of the eldest master.

After a while, the doctor came out and said that the third lady had woken up and would be fine after taking two doses of tonics. sighed again and again and said Fortunately, it was saved in time, it was summer again, and there was no big problem, if it was one step late, it would be difficult to say.

The housekeeper led the doctor to the tent to pay the money, and did not talk about it.

When the old lady heard that the third lady was awake, she hurriedly got up, and her two sons helped the old lady to the back room, and Gu helped the eldest lady to follow in.

Jiang Xinshan had her hair scattered, half of her face was red and swollen, and when she saw the old lady entering the house, she burst into tears.

The old lady was so distressed that she didn't know what to do, and sat on the edge of the bed, comforting her for a while.

For a long time, the two stopped crying. The old lady said softly: "My son, why don't you want to go to the river, you want to scare your grandmother to death?" If you have three long and two short, how can your grandmother live? If you have any grievances, I want to see who has the guts! ”

Jiang Xinshan sobbed and whispered: "Grandmother, today I saw that the weather was quite cool, and I thought about the pond of lotus flowers in the lake, so I walked to the garden. happened to meet the second sister and the fourth sister talking under the shade of the tree, so they stepped forward to say hello. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the second sister wore a colorless jade jewelry, and her granddaughter liked it so much, so she wanted to ask the second sister to borrow it to wear and play for a few days.

I didn't know that the second sister spoke ill of me, so she scolded me for being born to my aunt and not worthy of such a good thing. I couldn't get angry for a while, so I said, 'You were also born to your aunt, but you have a good life and climbed a good family', grandmother, you know me, if you are not forced by the second sister, where would you say such cruel words?

When the second sister heard this, she stepped forward and slapped me hard, and said that she had a good life and could marry into Shangshufu, and I was only worthy of being an aunt to others. ”

The old lady had already turned blue with anger, and her eyes looked at Chen like an arrow.

Chen's silver teeth clenched. scolded in his heart: The bad embryo raised by the little woman! If I hadn't known the truth of the matter first, I would have been deceived by your appearance of pear blossoms and rain.

Jiang Xinshan cried while peeking at the old lady's expression: "Grandmother, my granddaughter's life is not good, she was born in her aunt's belly, and she can't raise her head if she is ridiculed." My granddaughter just wants to marry a good family innocently and be a wife in the main house, how could I have thought that the second sister would filth me like this, only one death, grandmother, my granddaughter has no face to live in this world, you just let me leave innocently......"

After that, he almost wanted to get up, but he was physically exhausted and was stopped by the old lady.

Aunt Zhou knelt down at the old lady's feet with a plop, and said hoarsely: "Auntie, ask your aunt to make the decision for Shan'er." My hard-working daughter, my aunt has no ability, she can't protect you, it's all my fault, I would rather twist my hair and be a sister-in-law than be a concubine......"

Shen Ying quietly moved his gaze to Gu. Sure enough, I guessed correctly, I am afraid that this matter is the introduction from the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. What a calculation! A girl who has not left the cabinet is acting so decisively, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

The old lady was angry and yelled, "You shut up for me." ”

Aunt Zhou just howled twice, but she didn't feel finished yet. I didn't dare to disobey the old lady's words, so I covered my mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and turned my face in a state of annoyance.

Holding Mama Qian's hand, the old lady slowly got up, her eyes swept over the two aunts, and she said solemnly: "Second Miss, where is Fourth Miss now?" ”

Chen stepped forward and replied: "Kneel in Guiyun Hall." ”

The old lady said sharply: "Let the third lady take good care of her illness, the three brothers have nothing to do with you here, you go back first, and the others will come with me." ”

Jiang Yuanhang took a step forward and said: "Grandmother, my sister has been so wronged, and my grandson is sad, so I just ask my grandmother to seek justice for my sister for the sake of my sister's filial piety." ”

Jiang Yuanchen snorted coldly: "Second brother, whether you are wronged or not, it is not just the third lady who has the final say. ”

The old lady sneered twice, and her eagle-like gaze fell on Jiang Hongsheng.

Jiang Hongsheng noticed it and said angrily: "Evil obstacles, didn't you hear that your grandmother asked you to go back?" ”

Jiang Yuanchen secretly glanced at the Gu family, and when he saw that his mother was calm, he lowered his head and followed the eldest brother out.

The three of them walked out of the courtyard, and Jiang Yuanhang said coldly: "Killing people to pay for their lives, and paying off debts, it is justified." Big brother and third brother, I'll go first. ”

Jiang Yuanchen clenched his fists and replied unceremoniously: "Who killed the person and who owes the debt, the second brother will speak after he has figured it out." lest the affection between brothers be ruined. ”

Jiang Yuanhang was blocked, snorted twice in anger, and threw his sleeves away.

Jiang Yuanchen glared at him hatefully, his little face was blue.

A pair of big hands touched Jiang Yuanchen's shoulders: "Third brother, go back first." We can't help with that. ”

Jiang Yuanchen remembered that Xin Yao knelt down on the cold bluestone drill in Guiyun Hall that time, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Big brother, what the third sister said, do you believe it?" ”

Jiang Yuanqing shook his head and sighed: "What do you say? What kind of character is my own sister, how can I not know? But the old lady ...... Alas...... Walk! Go to my brother's study, let's talk. ”

……

In the main hall of Guiyun Hall, Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Xinshan sisters knelt down under the hall one left and one right.

Just now, Xia He took advantage of the absence of the old lady and Mama Qian to find a familiar sister to secretly pass on the words of the third lady to the two kneeling young ladies, so that they could be prepared.

The two sisters didn't expect her to be so upside down, and they were silent for a while.

Jiang Xinyu said in a deep voice: "Fourth sister, it was my sister who affected you, don't be afraid, this matter started because of me, I won't let you be wronged"

Jiang Xinyao thought for a moment, and sighed lightly: Second sister, the old lady will ask for a while, you have to think about how to deal with it, don't be rash, let's settle this matter first. ”

Jiang Xinyu twitched the corners of her mouth twice, and said coldly: "Rushing to Shangshu Mansion, they don't dare to do anything to me." ”

Jiang Xinyao lowered her eyes silently. How can this matter be as simple as the second sister said, Mingli came to the second sister, in fact...... It's a good one to kill two birds with one stone. ”

We all underestimated the domineering and seemingly simple Jiang Xinshan. This layout, if it is really her doing, I am afraid that it is only for one purpose, and I don't know what my mother plans to do?

That's it, Jiang Xinshan, since you are for that purpose, show me some real skills, don't let me down. If not, don't blame me for kicking it back.

……

Guiyun Hall, the old lady sat at the head, Aunt Zhou stood next to her, and the others sat on both sides, which was very imposing of the three halls.

Jiang Hongsheng glanced at Jiang Xinyao, who was kneeling on the ground, with a complicated expression, and then at Gu Yuzhen, who was sitting opposite, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The old lady took the warm tea brought by Mama Qian, dipped her lips, put the tea cup on the table, and said solemnly: "Xinyu, Xinyao, are you guilty today?" ”

The long nails fell deep into Jiang Xinyu's palm, and Jiang Xinyu lowered her head and did not speak.

Seeing this, Jiang Xinyao immediately lowered her head and hid the smile in her eyes in a timely manner.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the old lady became angry, and said angrily: "Xinyu, let me ask you, Shan'er slapped her face by you?" ”

Jiang Xinyu raised her head calmly and said, "Back to my grandmother, it was I who called." ”

The old lady sneered: "Have you ever said that Shan'er is destined to be an aunt for the rest of her life?" ”

Jiang Xinyu's eyes sank, and she said truthfully: "I said it." ”

The old lady sneered again and again: "Good, good, good!" Big lady, this is your good daughter. ”

Chen was complaining in his heart that Jiang Xinyu spoke bluntly, and he didn't know how to defend himself, when he suddenly heard the old lady push her anger on her, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, although Xinyu is not my own, she has also grown up in front of me since she was a child. What kind of character she is, everyone in the Jiang Mansion knows it. If you want me to say, she did such a big disrespectful thing today, according to her daughter-in-law, there must be a reason, and I hope the old lady will find out. ”

The old lady scolded with a slashed face: "Ming Cha, she admitted it herself, how can she check it out?" Don't look at it I don't know, do you feel that you are married to the Shen Mansion, so you don't put the Jiang family in your eyes, today I am beating my sister, tomorrow, I am afraid that my grandmother is not in your eyes. ”

Jiang Xinyu couldn't afford the old lady's heavy words, but she felt extremely miserable in her heart. His eyes were filled with tears, and he fell to the ground one by one.

Chen said hurriedly: "Old lady, there were also the maids of the second and third ladies present at that time, did you call them here and ask them again, you can't just listen to one side and convict the two young ladies, right?" Dali Temple has to talk about personal evidence, what about physical evidence? ”

Jiang Xinyao expressed deep admiration for Chen's ability to put the affairs of Dali Temple on the table in a hurry. Her eyes twitched, and her mind raced.

Jiang Xinyao's mind moves quickly, but there are people who are faster than her.
