Tang Yanqiu put a piece of fish meat in a bowl, carefully shaved off the fish bones, and then gave the meat clip to Ye Qianyun.

He said: "The eldest aunt is a person who can't afford to lose, like this time, she will make a big deal to compensate for the loss of the front foot and the back foot." There is also a smiling tiger third aunt in the backyard, she can't be on Yun Niang's side, most likely she will join forces with the eldest aunt. It is always a hidden danger for those maids to stay, so it is better to take the opportunity to send them back, and the province will be worried every day. ”

"Knowing that they are going to make trouble, and they have brought so many newcomers who don't know the details, do you ...... The young master didn't do it properly......" Cai Marriage called Tang Yanqiu in front of Ye Qianyun He was used to it, and he forgot to change his name for a while.

Fortunately, Tang Yanqiu understood Cai's temper and was not angry. He continued to shave Ye Qianyun and said, "Wang Zhong is an old man in the mansion, he is dutiful but not stupid. The big room and the third room only consider their own interests, and the second room has to think about the reputation of the Tang Mansion outside because of the identity of the lord. Compared with these masters, Uncle Wang understands the world better. I grew up watching him since I was a child, and there are some things that don't need to be explained, he can tell right from wrong. Changpingyuan asked people to put it out for Yun Niang, he knew what to do, and those people would never have any problems. ”

Ye Qianyun still remembers that Wang Zhong led someone to relieve her siege that year, she didn't see the housekeeper in the front yard in the backyard, but she also heard the people below mention Wang Zhong's character, and she can rest assured when she thinks about it.

Two days later, Ye Qianyun was called to the big house, and when he arrived, he realized that Tang Yanqiu was like a god.

The maid in the big house committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, and when she salvaged it, she found that the maid was covered with scars, and coincidentally, this maid was one of the few people who were sent to Changpingyuan that day. Some of the maids who were traveling with them cried and complained that Ye Qianyun in Changping Courtyard beat them in private and bullied them wantonly.

All in all, Ye Qianyun treated his subordinates harshly, so the maid was not bullied and committed suicide by throwing herself into the well.

According to Ye Qianyun's temperament, this kind of thing that allows a mouth to indiscriminately deduct charges on her head, she will not say much to defend anything. When she spread rumors, she had to go to great lengths to clear her name, saying that people who broke her mouth might not necessarily believe it, and it was thankless and she lost a lot.

When Tang Yanqiu heard about the accident, he was worried that Ye Qianyun would suffer a loss, so he rushed to the big house in a panic, but saw that she was fighting with her aunt. Father Tang sat on top with a surprised expression.

Ye Qianyun just went to see the maid who died in vain, and she had indeed been to Changping Courtyard. The scars on the maid's body are really terrible. Ye Qianyun's hands clenched unconsciously.

From a humble background, knowing that the lives of the poor are cheap, and those who enter the house as slaves and maids, who don't want to live a good life, they are inexplicably gone. The marriage was beaten, Ye Qianyun defended it ruthlessly, this maid had no grievances with her, but someone actually killed her like this in order to achieve her goal.

Ye Qianyun shouldn't have said much, but his heart was uneasy and his words were uncontrollable.

The uncle and aunt of the big house acted too excitedly, as if they were not a maid, but their daughter.

"This girl with red lips and white teeth said that I scolded them, there is no evidence, what do uncles and aunts want me to confess?" Ye Qianyun stood upright in the room, looking directly at the two people in the big room, "I don't dare to admit the crime of harming people's lives, even the so-called private beating and wanton bullying, I haven't done it, and I don't admit it." ”

The eldest uncle scolded: "The corpse is here, the witness is here, how can you not admit the reason!" ”

"If a person dies in the Changheiin Temple, I will not be able to escape the blame. Now the maid committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in the big house, and this girl who identified me was the eldest aunt. This matter is said to be related to me, but it is better to say that Yu Dafang has nothing to do with it. ”

"The lord is above, you dare to spew blood!"

Ye Qianyun replied: "The family is not stupid, how can I not see the trick of this matter clearly." ”

"It just doesn't make sense!"

Tang Yanqiu stepped on the anger of the eldest uncle and entered the house: "Yun Niang doesn't read much, and she doesn't like to speak, so don't blame the eldest uncle." ”

"The words are not rough, and my sister-in-law is not wrong." After Tang Jinyan finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue at Tang's father, who was glaring at her.

Tang Yanqiu walked to Ye Qianyun's side: "Dead people often happen in the house, and this kind of thing has happened in Dafang before, why is it that this time, the eldest uncle and aunt are so nervous?" The revival of the teacher has attracted groundless speculation. Is there anything special about this girl? ”

The Tang Mansion has three bedrooms, and the second bedroom is a concubine. According to the clan rules, only the descendants can inherit the family business and the position of the monarch. The big house and the three rooms are not people who live with peace of mind, in order to seize power, they do everything to stumble on the second room, Tang Yanqiu has been taught at a very young age. Helplessly, Tang's father attached too much importance to family affection, and he couldn't see the problem with his eyes, so he blindly encouraged the arrogance of the two rooms.

Their targeting of Ye Qianyun may have nothing to do with her background, just because she is a person from the second room.

Ye Qianyun gave Tang Yanqiu a look, she had to find out about this matter. Tang Yanqiu nodded slightly, and asked the maid who was kneeling on the ground over there: "You said that the young lady beat you in private, is there a reason?" ”

The maid shook her head: "No...... No reason ......"

"How can there be no reason? Either you did something wrong, or you said the wrong thing, there is always a reason for the young lady to be angry. Tang Yanqiu said, "You are already trying to slander the young lady with empty mouths and white teeth, your testimony is full of loopholes and there is not even a cause, you are too bold, slander and teasing, do you use my Tang Mansion as a theater?" Is it possible that such frivolity was also taught by the eldest aunt? ”

The eldest uncle said: "You don't confuse the public here, the maid was good when she was in the big house, she went to Changping Courtyard, and when she came back, she was covered in injuries and threw herself into the well in shame, if it wasn't Ye Qianyun's vicious and private harshness, who else could it be." ”

"And me."

“……”

"Changheiin is my yard, why can't I fight it?"

The third aunt hurriedly answered: "Yanqiu, don't talk nonsense. The young lady is tyrannical, and it is better than you, the young master, who cares about people's lives. ”

"Auntie said this strangely." Ye Qianyun looked at it when she heard this, "There is obviously nothing to do, why should the third aunt deduct the crime and trap the Tang Mansion in injustice?" ”

Tang Yanqiu shook his head and sighed: "In the big family, no one has killed anyone. When you meet the kind-hearted person, send more money to the family, and the matter will pass. If you are more vicious, you will hastily send the body out and bury it quietly, as if nothing had happened and there has been no person. The one that Dafang killed two years ago, and the one that Sanfang poisoned half a year ago, didn't they all do this? ”

At the same time, the aunt's face changed drastically.

"Since you want to investigate, you should investigate it thoroughly." Tang Yanqiu asked Tang's father, "Do you want to report to the official?" ”

"Nonsense, my own affairs, report to the official!" Father Tang understood that Ye Qianyun would not do that kind of thing, and now that the eldest brother and sister-in-law were so troublesome, if he couldn't stop them, he had no choice but to let Ye Qianyun be a substitute for the dead ghost.

Tang Yanqiu knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his father's appearance, and let Ye Qianyun be a substitute for the dead ghost, unless he died: "Whatever you want, no one will think about wronging Yun Niang today anyway." ”

This was the first time that Tang Yanqiu believed in Ye Qianyun without hesitation, and sincerely defended it to the end.

The four maids of Changping Courtyard all came, and according to Tang Yanqiu's instructions, they reported the daily life of those big house maids to everyone.

Several maids looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

Tang's mother asked: "What's the matter, what do they do on weekdays, but it doesn't matter if you say it." ”

Cai Marriage stepped forward and replied: "Those sisters don't do anything on weekdays, and they talk and are lazy in the back all day, and if the slave maid says a few more words, they threaten to let Mrs. Dafang beat the slave to death." The slave couldn't stand it, so she beat ten boards by herself. On the second day, Mrs. Dafang came, and several sisters took the opportunity to complain, adding fuel and vinegar, and framing the young lady for a lot of things. ”

Ruxiang stepped forward and continued: "Chatting and being lazy and not doing things, and insulting the young lady loudly, if it weren't for the surrounding wing room environment, the slave maid would still think that the sisters were nobles from where they came from, and there was no one in their eyes." ”

Qiao'er said: "The four slaves and maids took care of the young lady in front, so that they couldn't call a few sisters, and they even asked us to serve them tea and water." If something goes wrong, pick up the shelf and point to the nose and abuse. Sister Cai couldn't look past it, so she beat them. ”

Lan Xi finally whispered: "The young lady didn't let us tell the young master, saying that it was someone sent by Mrs. Dafang, and it would be good to keep it...... The young lady also blamed the marriage, for fear of neglecting Mrs. Dafang......"

"So arrogant! Who's momentum did a few subordinates dare to show off their might in the Young Master's courtyard! Tang Jinyan glanced at the uncle and aunt in the big room, "Father, look, there are people in the Tang Mansion, and they are playing prestige in front of the second room." ”

Father Tang said dissatisfiedly: "Mouth is open, how can you talk nonsense like this!" ”

"Isn't it obvious enough now? Someone is grabbing at your soft underbelly and not messing around in the backyard once or twice. Tang Jinyan pointed to the kneeling maid, "This master's ambition is on the surface." ”

"The more you talk, the more presumptuous you become, give me a ban, or I'll go out." Tang's father scolded his daughter, and when he looked at the kneeling maid, he was already obviously dissatisfied.

Tang Jinyan winked at his brother.

Big couples are notoriously scoundrels, and they like to die and not admit their accounts.

The eldest uncle pointed to the four maids: "You are all Ye Qianyun's people, of course you speak for her, just talk about it, don't believe it!" ”

Ye Qianyun asked rhetorically: "It's strange, the maid in the big house can just help the uncle and aunt speak, why is it that the maid in Changping Yuan can't be trusted to tell the truth?" ”

"It's useless to talk too much!" The eldest uncle waved his hand and looked at Father Tang, "This incident has made people panic, and they all say that the Tang Mansion can be filmed to the extreme, and if the murderer is not handed over, it will be difficult to calm the anger of the people." ”

"There is a dead person in the big house, why should I fill in the life of Changping Yuan." Tang Yanqiu frowned and squinted, already angry, "Is the eldest uncle threatening my father?" ”

Ye Qianyun pulled his sleeves and suppressed Tang Yanqiu's anger first. She asked the kneeling maid, "You just said that the people who were sent to Changheiin were beaten by me, right?" ”

"Yes, we've all been beaten." The maid said as she rolled up her sleeves, revealing the scars on her arms.

Ye Qianyun asked: "Why is there only one person who committed suicide by throwing himself into a well?" ”
