Chapter 8: My cousin's plot
Xun Xuan squinted, hooked her lips and smiled: "It turns out that the third cousin also has a hairpin that is exactly the same as mine, that is, I wronged this minion, but ...... is so dignified, why did the third cousin suddenly reward this janitor with such a valuable hosta? ”
Why the reward? Everyone present is not stupid, Xun Xuan found such a hidden place to worship, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, if someone didn't deliberately follow him, who would pay attention to the corner of the back door that no one had set foot on?
How could it be so coincidental that the young ladies suddenly arrived, and then Mrs. Liu rushed to hear the news? Isn't this what is designed? The janitor was clearly instructed by someone to go to report at the right time, which led Mrs. Liu here and sang such a good show.
If the third lady admits that the hosta was given to the mother-in-law, it is admitting that she has bribed the people of the house to deliberately target Miss Biao, if she does not admit it, it is to forcibly press the crime of stealing jewelry to the mother-in-law.
Where can this woman afford such a heavy crime? At that time, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and shook out all the pickled things between them, wouldn't it be even more shameless?
After a long time, An Yixin spoke up.
"I was negligent in this matter," I saw her cough twice with an embroidered handkerchief, her delicate and pale face with a bit of morbid beauty, "Hongying, I don't blame you for your private friendship with this old slave, but it is a taboo for this slave to give each other privately, how can you give the jewelry I gave you to others?" ”
When the maid named Hongying heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground with a "plop", and tears flowed down: "It's the slave who is confused, and the slave doesn't dare anymore." ”
"The third sister is weak and has no time to rectify the subordinates, so she taught this slave to take advantage of the loophole, and it's no wonder that the third sister is no wonder." An Lingqing immediately stood up and relieved An Yixin.
"That's it, the two minions dragged down, and each received twenty boards!" Mrs. Liu propped her forehead with her hand and opened her eyes in disgust.
"Mother, what should I do with the maid next to Cousin Xun who stole the key?" The second young lady An Xuehan, who had been silent, spoke out at the right time, and finally came back after a circle.
"Zhi, do you have anything else to say?" Mrs. Liu asked.
"This matter is my fault, Qu You is just doing things for me, my aunt should not embarrass her, if you want to punish me, punish me."
"Miss, this can't be ......" Qu You was still about to intercede for Xun Xuan, but was rejected by Mrs. Liu.
"Since Ah Zhi has already said so, then I will punish you to go back and copy the women's rules, and don't do it again next time."
"Ah Zhi remembered." Xun Xuan hurriedly bowed down.
The punishment was also punished, and Mrs. Liu didn't plan to continue to spend it here, so she got up and slowly walked out of Qingfeng Hall with the support of Xianglu.
Everyone dispersed one after another, and two slaves and maids outside the hall were leading the board, letting out a scream.
"The two minions were beaten to half their lives, she committed such a big thing, she was just copying books, and her mother punished her without pain, it was too cheap for her." An Lingqing walked out of Qingfeng Hall sullenly, complaining vigorously in An Xuehan's ear.
An Xuehan listened silently, and smiled helplessly on her face: "Although the old lady has not cared about the affairs of the house for a long time, she cares very much about this granddaughter, where does the mother dare to punish him heavily?" ”
An Lingqing exhaled and looked at the two minions who were beaten in the yard: "It's all because of these two stupid minions, I almost even the third sister was implicated." ”
An Yixin on the side didn't seem to hear An Lingqing's complaints, looked at the two minions who were punished with deep eyes, and then turned to An Xuehan and An Lingqing and whispered: "I'm a little unwell, go back first." ”
"The third sister doesn't seem to be very happy." Watching An Yixin walk away, An Lingqing tilted his head and said silently.
An Xuehan pretended not to hear, but lowered her eyes slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, Xun Zhi violated the holy will and privately worshiped the rebellious ministers and thieves It is a serious crime, why did her mother avoid the important and only mention the matter of taking the key privately, but did not mention anything about worship?
"Second sister, what do you think?" An Lingqing scratched in front of An Xuehan's eyes with his hand.
An Xuehan came back to her senses, and then grabbed An Lingqing's hand with a smile: "I heard that my uncle came to the house a few days ago to congratulate him, brought a lot of congratulatory gifts, and specially sent me and my mother a lot of daughter's household jewelry, you can go to the public middle school with me and pick a few things you like." ”
When An Lingqing heard this, he was immediately happy, and he couldn't care about anything else, and happily followed An Xuehan away.
When the people in the courtyard were almost gone, there was a sound of light footsteps in the silent hall.
"Miss, why don't you explain to Madame, we informed the old lady in advance before taking the key, but the old lady nodded herself, and the reason why she didn't let the janitor know was just to hide people's eyes and ears and avoid falling into the mouth." Qu You is holding grievances for the master.
