But it was said that Wei Qingyang went to court at the end of noon, and when he returned to the gate of Weifu, he saw a little girl waiting there.

"Master, the ancestor invites you to go to Qingyazhai." Chunxiao bowed and saluted, and then conveyed the words of the ancestor.

Wei Qingyang was taken aback: Could it be that yesterday's events reached the ears of the ancestors so quickly?

In fact, Wei Qingyang thought about it carefully later, and found that this matter was indeed strange. It stands to reason that the old ancestor treats Wei Rong well, and it is also the old ancestor himself who ordered her to move her back from the other courtyard.

That girl has been sick for a while, but she has become smart and clever, which is obvious to all. How could she not know that the ancestor was her backer? How can there be any reason to poison and inflict harm?

Especially the words that the girl whispered in her ear: The Third Highness is sick, and I am dispensing medicine for him.

And later said that if Daddy didn't believe it, he would go to the ancestor and ask him.

It doesn't look like he's panicking.

Wei Qingyang got up from the Wanqing Pavilion in the morning, thinking of asking the old ancestor about it.

But when he went, the ancestor hadn't woken up yet, and he was in a hurry to go to court, so he had to kowtow outside the curtain.

Thinking of this, Wei Qingyang asked, "Did the ancestor say anything?" ”

Chunxiao shook her head: "Aunt Liuyun sent the slave maid here, and she didn't say anything." ”

Wei Qingyang nodded and strode towards Qing Yazhai.

When I arrived at the door, a little girl had already opened the curtain.

Wei Qingyang walked in, but saw that the old ancestor was half-sitting on the bed, with a few pillows behind him.

Liuyun was beating her legs, and when she saw Wei Qingyang coming in, she gave a salute and retreated.

"What does Mother feel today?" Wei Qingyang saluted and asked softly.

The old ancestor snorted: "What can it be?" I didn't get angry with you, it's my creation. ”

Wei Qingyang knelt down in a panic: "When the mother said this, the son was very ashamed and embarrassed. ”

"Shame? Let me ask you, are you ashamed to order my Ruo'er girl to be locked up in the warehouse? ”

When Wei Qingyang heard this, his heart opened up.

The old ancestor of Xindao really learned about this, so he kowtowed: "The son is doing this for the sake of his mother's body. That girl's mind is really vicious. ”

"Really? Have you ever heard her defend herself? ”

"The girl said that she was dispensing medicine for His Royal Highness. The son was about to ask his mother, is this serious? ”

"Seriously." The voice of the old ancestor was not loud, but it was very firm.

Wei Qingyang said secretly: I didn't know about such a big thing. Really negligent.

But I heard the old ancestor say again: "The fewer people who know about this matter, the better." ”

Wei Qingyang nodded: "My son understands." ”

"I called you here today to ask Wen. Why did you stuff the medicine to the girl and blame my Ruo'er instead? The old ancestor turned to say sternly.

Wei Qingyang almost thought he had misheard. When he came to his senses, the old ancestor raised his hand.

"Go, I'm tired."

Wei Qingyang didn't dare to say half a word anymore and retreated.

"Go, call that girl named Baolu." The old ancestor instructed Liuyun, and then changed his position and crooked on the bed.

After a while, Baolu followed behind Chunxiao and entered the door tremblingly.

The old ancestor closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and Baolu knelt on the ground: "Slave Baolu, I have seen the old ancestor." ”

Liuyun just beat his legs for the ancestor for a while, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

Bao Lu knelt in a panic, but the right side of her face itched tightly. At this time, in front of the ancestors, he didn't dare to scratch.

I was so anxious that my heart felt like a cat scratching.

At this time, the old ancestor suddenly shouted: "Sell the things that seek glory!" Liuyun, immediately drive out of the house!

"Then put a notice at the door of the Wei Mansion, saying that this cheap woman is a traitor seeking glory and framing her own lady. I'd like to see who dares to ask for her in the future! ”

When Baolu heard this, she knew in her heart that the old ancestor had already learned the truth.

Therefore, they did not dare to prevaricate.

"No, Ancestor. The ancestor heard the slave and maid say that the slave and maid were also forced to do so. She wasn't talking nonsense.

At this time, Baolu actually raised her head.

"Oh, Liuyun, did you hear me? Is there a reason for the seller to seek glory? ”

Bao Lu shook her head and said, "Ancestor, please look at the face of the slave." ”

At a glance, Liuyun saw that Baolu's right face was red, and it was full of small madness.

"It's Miss Three...... The slave maid was given medicine first. The slave and maid had no choice, so the pig was blindfolded......" Baolu's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Your face is so good, why did the third lady give you medicine?" When the old ancestor heard a different statement at this time, he couldn't help but be interested.

"Because...... Because the slave and the maid were beaten that day. Bao Lu's hand unconsciously touched the right side of her face. I thought that the third lady felt sorry for the slave and maid, and took the medicine herself. Who wants to ......"

"Beaten? But Wen's hand? "The old ancestor actually guessed a few points.

Bao Lu nodded repeatedly.

The old ancestor suddenly laughed: "The third lady personally gave you medicine, this is your blessing." You actually took her kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.

"Someone comes, drag it out, and blame twenty. Call all the servants of the house. Let them watch from the sidelines, and fight in my yard. ”

Liuyun agreed and asked Chunxiao to do it.

Bao Lu was so frightened that she trembled, and couldn't stop begging for mercy: "Ancestor spare your life!" Prolome knows it's wrong! ”

saw Mama Zhao and Mama Kong quickly come in from outside and dragged Baolu down.

The old ancestor smiled lightly and asked instead, "Liuyun, what do you think?" ”

Liuyun tilted his head and pretended to think for a while, and then replied: "According to the slave maid, since Baolu was beaten by the Wen family, of course she wanted to play a bitter trick in front of the third lady.

"It's a pity that our third lady is a step ahead, so let's strike first."

The Old Ancestor nodded and shook his head again: "No. If so, then how could Ruo'er girl be locked up in the warehouse? ”

"I'm afraid it's ......" Liuyun suddenly stopped halfway through his words.

The old ancestor was shocked: "I have also endured the Wen family for a long time." It's just that...... Now is not the time! ”

"That'...... What about ProLu? Liuyun couldn't help but ask.

"You go find that girl Ruexiang. I remember that she was close to Ruo'er. The old ancestor asked Liuyun to come over and whispered a few words.

In the courtyard outside Qingyazhai, the girl's mother-in-law surrounded her.

Bao Lu was lying on a bench at this time, and the four grandmothers held her limbs together.

There was also a small servant named Ah Yuan, who was standing aside with a wooden plank.

Xiuping moved a chair out, put on a soft cushion, and then Liuyun helped the ancestor to sit down.

The voice of the salute was heard, and the old ancestor shook his hand: "I asked you to come today, I want you to see what the rules are!"

"Baolu stole Miss San's white jade peacock hairpin and tried to sell it. I was caught ...... the hell."

The old ancestor said, and Liuyun handed over a wooden box.

opened the wooden box, and the white jade peacock hairpin that he had given to Wei Rongruo before was lying quietly.

Bao Lu hadn't reacted at this time.

I heard the old ancestor ask: "Baolu, do you know what is wrong?" ”

She had just carefully recalled the previous words of the old ancestor, but she didn't know why.

Stealing? There is nothing at all!

Bao Lu shouted loudly: "No, the ancestor has been wronged!" Ancestors, please be clear! ”

"Come on, gag her for me! lest it be spread outside the Wei Mansion and make people laugh at the fact that our slaves and maids in the Wei Mansion have no rules! ”

A grandmother immediately stepped forward and stuffed a handkerchief in Baolu's mouth.

Listening to the order of the old ancestor again, Ah Yuan's plank fell on Baolu's body.

Baolu was in pain, and she snorted in her throat.

"Let go of the fight!" The old ancestor shouted, and Ah Yuan's next board immediately added a little more strength.

The grandmother next to her counted carefully, and every time the board fell, she added a number.

On the fifth count, Bolu let out a muffled cry of "whoa".

On the ninth count, Bao Lu's voice grew lower, and there was a sticky patch on her clothes.

The timid girl covered her eyes with her hands. But he was afraid of being scolded, so he covered it and hurriedly took it away.

Counting to the thirteenth time, Baolu stole seven times and bled out. The grandmother next to her stepped forward to sniff and said, "Ancestor, the people are gone." ”

There was a scream in the girl's head.

"Carry it down, and her old son will take the person away immediately." The old ancestor said, "Liuyun, prepare twenty taels of silver." Tell her that Lao Tzu Niang said that Baolu stole and suffered from the family rules.

"Ben has nothing to do with the Wei Mansion. But Wei Fu was merciful, and read that she had been in the house for five years, and rewarded 20 taels of silver as a pension. ”

Before the old ancestor could speak, Qingluo in the crowd stood unsteadily and fell to the ground.

A few small servants went forward and carried the breathless Baolu away with a stool.

"Ruexiang, since I have rewarded your young lady with this hairpin, you should keep it properly." The old ancestor changed his kind tone, "Take it!" ”

Rue Xiang stepped forward to thank her, and then took the wooden box from the ancestor's hand.

"Ancestor, let's go back." Liuyun and Xiuping supported the ancestor and walked towards the house.

Before leaving, he glanced at Rue Xiang meaningfully.

Rue Xiang hurriedly said: "The slave and maid thank the ancestor for helping to find the white jade peacock hairpin, and the slave and maid thank the ancestor for his grace!" ”

The old ancestor had already turned around, and at this time he shook his hand with his back to Ruxiang.

Rue Xiang looked up, only to find that the sweat had already soaked her underwear.

Although she understands that Baolu is really to blame.

But if you want to talk about what are the rules, Rue Xiang can't help but sigh: In this Wei Mansion, the ancestors are the rules!

"Why didn't I know, Miss lost the hairpin?" Hongying asked, pulling Ruxiang towards Fanghuayuan.

Rue Xiang shook her head: "Good sister, don't ask." ”

Although Hongying has been coming to Fanghuazhai for a short time, she is also close to Ruexiang. When I heard this at this time, I understood eight or nine points in my heart.

I couldn't help but be scared for a while.

The two held hands and returned to Fanghua Garden.

Pushing open the door, I saw Wei Rongruo sitting on the couch, smiling at the two.

Rue Xiang was excited, stepped forward a few steps, and took Wei Rongruo's hand: "Miss, are you back?" Did it hurt? ”

As she spoke, Hongying stepped forward and picked up Wei Rongruo's sleeves and trousers to see if there were any injuries.

Wei Rongruo shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm fine!" ”

Rue Xiang seemed to suddenly remember something, took out the wooden box from her sleeve, and handed it to Wei Rongruo.

"Miss must be hungry, the slave maid went to the kitchen to see, but there was nothing to eat." Hongying expected that Rue Xiang and Wei Rong would have a lot to say, so they found an excuse to retreat.

Wei Rongruo responded.

"Miss, Aunt Liuyun just came and said that the ancestor borrowed the white jade peacock hairpin for use." Ruexiang's eyes were a little hollow, as if in a reverie, "Later, there was something about Baolu." I guess Miss has already heard about it! ”

Wei Rongruo nodded: "I know, don't be afraid." ”

She said, gently stroking Rue's head as a sign of comfort.

"Rue, let's talk about something happy." Wei Rongruo sighed as she spoke, and Rue Xiang nodded obediently.
