Jin Mei was looking up, and suddenly saw the sound of broken footsteps behind him, and a woman in her fifties stepped inside.

When they arrived at the couch, the old lady pointed to Jinmei and said, "Gui's daughter-in-law, do you recognize this girl?" The woman looked back and was facing Jin Mei. Jin Mei looked quite familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it. But I heard the woman say, "The slave woman knows." This is the niece of the eldest lady in the main courtyard, the cousin girl from Ye Mansion. The old lady said: "Let me ask you, it is rumored that you have personally bumped into the cousin girl and the second young master having an affair in private, but is it true?" ”

Jin Mei's brain exploded, and then he remembered that this Gui's daughter-in-law was the mother-in-law who had inadvertently barged in the small hugging building that day!

"Back to the old lady's words, the slave woman didn't dare to say-" Gui's daughter-in-law fell to her knees with a thud.

The old lady slapped the table suddenly: "Say! ”

This thunderous sentence not only shocked Gui's daughter-in-law, but also frightened everyone present. Jin Mei only felt that a heart had been blocked in his throat, and even if he touched it with his hand, he also felt that he was fluttering.

"Slave, slave woman obeys!" Gui's daughter-in-law kowtowed a few times and said, "That day is the seventeenth day of the first month, and the second young master's house is cleaned on the seventh day. At that time, everyone in the building went to clean the courtyard, no one was left behind, I was kicked over the basin when I was cleaning the window, and the sleeves of my clothes were wet, so I wanted to change my clothes when I came back to deliver the basin, who knew that when I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I heard the sound of talking in the house. I felt strange, so I walked in, and when I entered the door, I suddenly saw - I saw my cousin standing at the door wearing only a close-fitting dress, and the second young master, and the second young master, hugged together......"

"Bold minion! You can know the end of rumors! ”

When the voice of the statement weakened, the eldest lady stood up, pointed at her and scolded angrily. Gui's daughter-in-law was so frightened that she kowtowed again and again: "Mrs. spare her life!" The old lady spares her life! Every word of what the slave woman said is true, and there is no falsehood! If a slave woman is not true to a word, she will be sent to death without one in the future! ”

The eldest lady stood on the spot trembling all over, and her face was like iron.

Jin Mei looked at Gui's daughter-in-law, and she already felt that her hands and feet were cold.

Jinyu snorted coldly: "It's so coincidental to be drenched outside my brother's courtyard, and it's so coincidental to know that there is no one in my brother's courtyard, if it's not intentionally seduced, what is it?!" ”

"What else does my cousin have to say?" The old lady's face sank like water, and she pointed her crutches straight over.

Jin Mei raised her head, her nails broke into the flesh of her palm, and she forced herself to calm down: "The old lady is aware of everything, so she naturally speaks based on facts. I did accidentally get drenched in water outside the Second Young Master's courtyard that day, but I didn't know that it was the Second Young Master's residence at that time, let alone that there was no one there. If I hadn't been forced to do so, I wouldn't have followed Haruka's advice and ventured into the hospital to take refuge. I know that no one believes what I said alone, but now the old lady has witnesses, and I also have witnesses here, and I also ask the old lady and the third lady for permission, and now call the spring fragrance in the third wife's house to come and speak! ”

When the old lady heard this, she turned her head to the right. The third lady said busily: "This is natural. Hurry up and spread the spring fragrance! ”

It didn't take long for Haruka to arrive. At the same time, there is naturally a third wife here who gave a brief explanation for the matter of Haruka going to ask for patterns that day.

The old lady stopped her from saluting and asked directly, "Are you Haruka?" That day was the day you led the cousin girl from the West Courtyard to take a shortcut back to Lujiaoxuan? ”

Chunxiang didn't look at Jinmei, knelt down and said: "Back to the old lady, that day it was indeed Chunxiang who was ordered by the four girls to find the cousin girl to find a trick." Unfortunately, the cousin girl was going out, and in a hurry, on the way back, she asked the slave maid, where to go back to save time? Because the slave and maid often walk around in the west courtyard, they know that they can get much closer to the west courtyard. However, because the west courtyard is close to the outer courtyard, and the residence of the young masters is also here, it is not very convenient. When the cousin heard this, she insisted on doing so, but the slave and maid could not resist it, so she led her into the west courtyard. ”

"Haruka!"

Jin Mei's back straightened suddenly, and he stared ahead with wide eyes. Chunxiang turned around, kowtowed to her twice, and said with teary eyes: "Cousin! Say a word for the slave and maid! The slave and the maid that Japan just don't want to take you away from there, and you are already very disturbed that day, but then there was a big disaster, and the slave and maid can not afford to be guilty now! ”

Jin Mei only felt that his whole body was blank, and the blood in his body seemed to be frozen. She couldn't have imagined that the lively and clever little girl would be such a person!

"Go on! What else! ”

The old lady's crutches were on the ground, and the anger seemed to spread in all directions through the shaking of the ground.

Chunxiang wiped away her tears, turned around and said, "When I arrived outside the second young master's courtyard, my cousin saw that the courtyard door was not closed, so she asked whose residence was here?" I said it was the second young master's. The cousin said that she couldn't see that there was such a good courtyard for a person like the second young master! Saying that, she wanted to go in and take a look, but I was busy pulling her to prevent her, for fear that it would be bad if I bumped into the second young master. She said, what are you afraid of, let's just pretend to pass by here and go to the third room to see Aunt Qi, isn't it? I didn't dare to disobey, so I had to push the door and go in. When she arrived in the courtyard, she saw that a few fish in the pool were well-born, so she bent down to fish, I couldn't stop it, but she slipped under her feet, and she fell into it alive! I was so frightened that I dragged her up. At that time, there was no one in the courtyard, so I said, let's go to Aunt Qi's place to avoid it, so as not to be seen. She said to me, you go first, let Liucui send the clothes, and I will wait for you at Aunt Qi's place!

"At that time, I was going to help her to go to Aunt Qi's courtyard, but she insisted on not letting her, so I had to leave first. When I arrived at Lujiaoxuan, I told Liucui about the matter and asked her to send her clothes quickly, and then I was afraid that the four girls would be in a hurry, so I went back to the third room first. What happened later—I heard from the gardeners that my cousin had been drenched in water, and had not fallen into the fish pond and drowned, and I was afraid that it would be bad for the girl's reputation to spread the news, so I kept it hidden—"

There was a sudden "bang" from above, which shocked everyone for a while. The eldest lady's fingers trembled as she held on to the edge of the table, and looked at Jinmei, her teeth chattering.

"Shameless thing!"

"Big lady, sit down!"

The eldest lady was about to leave, when the old lady suddenly shouted.

Jinmei's face was like ashes, and he didn't know who to pay attention to.

"Juan'er, you come up with the next thing!" The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and said. "What exactly is Gui's daughter-in-law seeing, you can tell clearly!"

Shao Huang, who had been standing by and watching, reluctantly walked out at this time, peeked at Jinmei, thought about it, and said to the head: "The old lady is angry, it's all a misunderstanding!" I don't know how Miss Mei got wet that day, but in the grandchildren's room, she really didn't exceed the rules. Gui's daughter-in-law saw Miss Mei and her grandson standing together, but when Miss Mei was about to leave, she tripped unintentionally, and her grandson just helped her——"

"Brother!" Jinyu suddenly stood up and said to him angrily, "Why are you so confused? Still want to cover for this vixen? Don't you know that she's all here to beat you up? This sinister woman, in order to clear herself, she actually sent Yahuan to collude with you, and wanted you to carry this black cauldron for her in front of the old lady, and be a person with nothing to do! Why can't you see her true colors?! ”

"Yu'er!" The old lady lowered her crutches: "Is this true?!" ”

"Old lady!" Jinyu turned around and said word by word: "Just now after dinner, this woman sent Biluo Liucui to find her brother and asked him to bear this crime with all his might, and you asked her if she was or not?!" If I have half a word, I will never die well in this life! ”

Before the sentence was finished, Jinyu had already cried into tears. The old lady hugged her in her arms, "Good granddaughter, who dares to let you die a good death, my wife will not agree to the first one!" It was easy to calm her down, then she let go, her face sank, sighed and said: "Liucui is the maid of the eldest lady, and this one is the eldest lady's own niece and nephew, the eldest lady, the good person you bring with you!" ”

The eldest lady immediately got up and bowed her head to the bed.
