Chapter 34: The Culprit
As soon as she heard that Mei Zijin was going to send Bai Junfeng to Jing Zhaoyin for punishment based on Shui Qingqing's words, Bai Lingwei's face turned pale in an instant.
Hou Ye only listened to the words of this slut, so he wanted to convict his cousin?
Seeing that Mei Zijin was so protective of Shui Qingqing, Bai Lingwei believed the guess in her heart more and more, and hated Shui Qingqing so much.
But she also knows that this is not the time to be jealous, but to turn the situation around, so as to put the slut to death......
In this way, her legs weakened, she knelt down in front of Mei Zijin and the old lady, and said with a white face: "Old lady, Master Hou, although the cousin of the concubine is famous, he is not so ignorant of the importance of it, and will do such a ridiculous thing in the Hou Mansion...... I don't dare to use a strong ...... on Miss Cousin The concubine thought, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here, why don't you call your cousin and listen to what he has to say? β
Mei Zijin, who was already clear in her heart, looked at Bai Lingwei with a flustered face with cold eyes, and sneered: "Okay, since you have doubts, let your eldest brother come out and make it clear!" β
After that, he raised his hand and asked people to go to the next room to summon Bai Junfeng.
After applying the burn medicine to the thigh, Bai Junfeng was not as painful as before, but his face was still pale, and the hair on his forehead was also soaked with sweat.
No matter how unbearable he is in the eyes of outsiders, but on the surface, he is the powerful young master of the Bai family after all, or Jin Wuwei, the emperor's close attendant, only he bullies others on weekdays, and he has suffered like this.
This time, he planted such a big heel in Shui Qingqing's hands, and Bai Junfeng couldn't wait to eat Shui Qingqing in his heart at the moment. Therefore, when the two met again, he stared at Shui Qingqing fiercely, if he hadn't been afraid of Mei Zijin's presence, he was afraid that he would immediately pull out a knife and cut her.
Compared with Bai Junfeng, Shui Qingqing completely calmed down, from the time he entered the house, he never looked back at him from beginning to end, his eyes were cold, and his expression was not turbulent at all.
But Mei Zijin's eyes stared coldly at Bai Junfeng, making him flustered and uneasy.
Bai Lingwei quietly glanced at him, and stepped forward to reprimand with a sad face: "Big brother, didn't you come to see Yun'er today?" How could such a thing happen all of a sudden? What the hell happened between you and Miss Cousin? β
Bai Junfeng dragged his injured leg, took two steps forward and saluted Mei Zijin and the old lady with difficulty, and said bitterly: "Don't dare to tell lies in front of the Hou Ye. I received a notice of training in the barracks this morning, thinking that I would go to the barracks in the near future, so I deliberately left to come to the Hou Mansion, but there were two things to do. β
"One is to visit my sister and Xiao Shizi. Another reason is to meet Sheng Yu's appointment! β
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
Shui Qingqing looked back at Bai Junfeng in disbelief, and said hatefully: "You don't want to talk nonsense, I never knew you, when did I agree with you about anything?" β
However, Bai Junfeng dared to say this, but he was confident.
He looked at Shui Qingqing, angry and hateful in his heart, hooked his lips and sneered: "You don't know me?!" Oh, since you don't know each other, why do you send me a letter and ask me to meet? β
After that, he actually took out a letter from his body, threw it in front of Shui Qingqing with a 'click', and sneered proudly: "You asked me to meet in private, saying that you want to marry me, and let me marry you as soon as possible." After being rejected by me, he turned his face and burned me ruthlessly - Sheng Yu, you are a little widow who is married for the second time, and the characters are hard, I am afraid of being killed by you, how dare I allow you to be your wife? ! can accept you as a concubine, for my sister's sake, you dare to hurt people! β
After that, Bai Junfeng turned to Mei Zijin and said solemnly: "If Master Hou doesn't believe it, the people of Bai Wei Academy can testify and ask them, it was me Bai Junfeng who let her into the house, or did she take the initiative to come to the door!" β
The letterhead that fell in front of Shui Qingqing, before she had time to open it herself, was already picked up by Xia Chan quickly, unfolded and sent to Bai Lingwei.
After Bai Lingwei saw it, her face suddenly recovered, and she suppressed the smugness in her heart, so she handed the letterhead to the old lady and Mei Zijin in embarrassment, and her words were completely unexpected.
"Master Hou, old lady, please see, Cousin Sheng did make an appointment with my cousin on the letterhead to meet me in Baiwei Courtyard today...... Master Hou, you should know Cousin Sheng's words, she didn't write you a lot of poems before...... Do you see her words? β
Looking at what was written on the plain white letterhead, the old lady's face changed slightly.
Mei Zijin's eyes swept coldly from the letterhead, and her face was completely black and cold.
The atmosphere in the room was instantly depressed and dull.
The letterhead that suddenly appeared, as well as what Bai Junfeng said, coupled with his aggressive momentum, including the old lady, actually made everyone who had previously believed that Bai Junfeng was strong against Shui Qingqing hesitate.
Shui Qingqing has never written a letter to Bai Junfeng at all, and even the person is the first time she has seen her today, how did she come to meet, not to mention that she never thought of getting married.
Take 10,000 steps back, because of her hatred for Bai Lingwei, even if she wants to marry, she will never marry into the Bai family......
The eyes were flustered again, and before she could get up and look at the letterhead, Bai Lingwei had already come to her with the letterhead, carrying Mei Zijin and the old lady on her back, and smiled proudly at her: "Cousin Sheng, in black and white, do you still want to deny it?" β
On the plain white letterhead, there is a line of small characters written softly, you don't need to look at the content, just look at the juanxiu font, it will not be written by her.
Her characters are practiced with stones on the sand and gravel ground, vigorous and powerful, not like a woman, but more like a man!
Therefore, it is obvious that this so-called private meeting letterhead is fake at all, and Bai Junfeng and Bai Lingwei teamed up to slander her.
Thinking of Bai Junfeng's despicable methods, Shui Qingqing trembled with hatred, and was almost about to blurt out his lie on the spot, but at the moment when the words were about to be spoken, he suddenly thought of something, his face turned pale, and his whole body froze-
Sheng Yu had written more than one letter to Mei Zijin before, so Mei Zijin must recognize her words.
And Bai Lingwei dared to take the initiative to show the letterhead to Mei Zijin, which is enough to prove that the words on this letterhead must be the same as the real Sheng Yu's words, and even Mei Zijin can't distinguish them......
Although Shui Qingqing couldn't understand why Bai Junfeng had the letterhead written by Sheng Yu in her hand, she knew very well in her heart that if she denied that this letterhead was not written by her, then she was self-defeating and admitted that she was not the real Sheng Yu......
The body was as if it was soaked in cold ice, cold and numb, and cold sweat was even more dense on her forehead, Shui Qingqing's eyes looked at Bai Lingwei with a smug sneer on her face in horror, her throat was stuck, and she couldn't say a word......
Looking at her panicked appearance, Bai Lingwei's face became more and more proud, and she said coldly: "Don't you want to say that it is my cousin who slanders you - the words you write are not only known to the Hou Ye, but also to me, so this letterhead is written by you." β
"On the one hand, you asked your cousin for a private meeting, and on the other hand, you poisoned your cousin because you couldn't get the position of a wife. Sheng Yu, you are so bold, you actually did such a pickled and dirty thing in my Baiwei Courtyard, and you had the audacity to hurt my Bai family - you really don't take the Hou Mansion and the entire Hanlin Bai family in your eyes at all! β
Bai Lingwei's rebuke forced Shui Qingqing to retreat.
It was precisely because she did not dare to deny the letterhead that her silence, in the eyes of everyone, became her irrefutable acquiescence.
And she accepted this letter about Bai Junfeng's private meeting, which was equivalent to admitting everything Bai Lingwei and Bai Junfeng said, the meaning of the whole thing had changed, and everything was all her fault.
It was she who did not abide by women's morals, secretly met Bai Junfeng privately, and led him to do some unscrupulous things in Xiao Shizi's house. But in the end, because he coveted the position of the eldest young lady of the Bai family, he couldn't get his wish, so he turned his face and ruthlessly injured Bai Junfeng!
In this way, whether she does not abide by women's morals, has a private meeting with a man, or hurts others, the Hou Mansion and the Bai Mansion will not let her go......
From the moment Bai Lingwei brought the letterhead to her, Shui Qingqing seemed to have been sealed by someone, suffocated to the point that she couldn't say a word, her thin body was like the remnants of a wind leaf, and she knelt tremblingly.
And as she was silent, the expressions of the whole audience changed, they all believed Bai Junfeng's words, and the eyes that looked at Shui Qingqing were all full of surprise and contempt.
Yes, she insisted on entering the Hou Mansion at the beginning, but now she doesn't abide by women's morals, dares to seduce men in the Hou Mansion, and rampantly hurts people, how can she not let everyone dislike her?
Overhead, the old lady's voice with disappointment slowly sounded.
"You...... Do you have something to say? β
Even if she suspected that Shui Qingqing had something to do with last night's assassin, the old lady couldn't believe that she would do such an unbearable thing. So, I couldn't help but ask her.
Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's eyes lit up in despair and looked at the letterhead in Bai Lingwei's hand again, with hatred and despair churning in her heart.
She looked at the disappointed old lady with a pale face, her bloodless lips trembled slightly, and she said with difficulty: "Old lady Mingjian, I came to Baiwei Courtyard just to see Xiao Shizi, I have never thought of remarrying in my life...... I beg the old lady to believe in me......"
Xiaoxi also saw the letterhead in Bai Lingwei's hand, she was shocked by the words on it, it was exactly the same as the book written by her own young lady Sheng Yu, and she also understood that Shui Qingqing didn't dare to deny that the letterhead was to keep the identity of the substitute marriage from being exposed, and she could only be framed and slandered here, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour, and she also knelt down in front of the old lady and cried: "The old lady is gracious, my young lady was wronged, she really just came to see Xiao Shizi, and begged the old lady not to punish her......"
When the master and servant spoke, they did not dare to deny the letterhead.
Bai Lingwei was a shrewd person, seeing that the master and servant didn't dare to mention the letterhead, she became more and more proud in her heart, and sneered: "There is no basis for your words, the words are placed here in black and white, it is obvious that you are seducing your cousin, and seeing Yun'er is just a cover for you." What's the use of you quibbling? β
Seeing this, the old lady couldn't help but open her mouth and asked directly: "Sheng girl, did you write this letterhead?" β
"Yes, if you hadn't written it, Miss Biao would have rejected it in front of the old lady and the marquis......"
Now, even a few aunts who were standing on the sidelines watching the excitement couldn't help but interject.
However, no matter how everyone asked, Shui Qingqing did not speak again.
The old lady's face sank completely, and the rest of the people also believed that the letterhead was written by her to Bai Junfeng.
Seeing this, Bai Junfeng smiled with satisfaction, thinking about the burn on his leg, and laughed hatefully: "You have to know if what she wrote is not simple - bring pen and ink, let her write it again according to the words on it, and everyone will know the right handwriting." β
Shui Qingqing's whole body trembled, her eyes stared at Bai Junfeng with a smug smile in horror, and her hands hanging on both sides of her body involuntarily hid behind her.
Xiaoxi was also flustered, if Shui Qingqing was asked to write, the two would have completely different handwriting, wouldn't it be to tell everyone that Sheng Yu in front of her was fake, and she was not the real daughter of the Sheng family. Such a great crime of deception, I am afraid that the entire Sheng family will suffer......
Hearing Bai Junfeng's words, Bai Lingwei also sneered: "Yes, Cousin Sheng and cousin have their own opinions. Which is right and which is wrong, let Cousin Sheng know the right handwriting - if the handwriting is consistent, it is ironclad. β
Xia Chan quickly took the pen and ink and put it in front of Shui Qingqing along with the letterhead.
Thinking that Shui Qingqing smashed her with a teapot in public before, and then looking at her now lost her soul and panicked, Xia Chan felt relieved in her heart.
She dipped the wolf in ink with her own hands, handed it to Shui Qingqing, and sneered: "Miss Cousin, the pen and ink slave maid brought it to youβwrite it well!" β
Countless pairs of eyes watched, Shui Qingqing had no way out, and took the pen from Xia Chan's hand with a stiff hand.
The little wolf seemed to weigh a thousand catties in his hand, which made Shui Qingqing breathless, and her heart was even more painful and desperate-
She knew very well that as long as the pen in her hand fell, it could prove that the letterhead was not written by her. Then, the lies and frame-ups of Bai Lingwei and Bai Junfeng will be made public.
But in this way, her identity as a substitute for Sheng Yu will be exposed. Not only will she be killed, but the Sheng family who saved her life will also be killed.
Moreover, she has no chance to snatch Yun'er back......
But if she doesn't write it and admits that the letterhead was written by herself, then she will definitely not have a good result if she does such a pickled thing in the Hou Mansion and hurts people.
No matter which path it is, it is a desperate situation and a dead end for her.
But since it is all a dead end, she will definitely choose to protect the Sheng family, and she is even more unwilling to give up Yun'er!
The next moment, the thin pen tube was broken in two by her, and the splash of black ink stained the plain dress on her body, plus the blood on her shoulders, Shui Qingqing, who was kneeling in front of everyone, was full of mess, just like her reputation......
Throwing down the pen tube, Shui Qingqing bowed down to the old lady who was headed, closed her eyes in despair, and her throat rolled hard, finally admitting that the letterhead was written by her.
She tried all her strength and said in a trembling voice: "Old lady, everything is ......"
"Click!"
A crisp sound interrupted Shui Qingqing's words.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was Mei Zijin, who had been drinking tea silently and silently, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.
Since Bai Lingwei showed him the private letterhead, Mei Zijin never spoke again, just drank tea silently, without raising his eyelids, as if everything that happened in front of him had nothing to do with him.
The teacup fell and shattered to the ground, but no tea flowed out.
The old lady and several aunts were worried that Mei Zijin was scratched by the porcelain, and was about to step forward to inquire with concern, but he stepped on the porcelain pieces all over the ground and got up, and came to Shui Qingqing step by step, his deep eyes looked at Shui Qingqing with a desperate face, making her whole body feel like a cold pool, and her mind was full of words that he warned her when she first saw Lingtang.
He said that if Ben Hou finds out that you have bad intentions in the future, Ben Hou has a way to make you regret your decision to stay today!
He was already suspicious of himself about the Assassin last night. Now that such an ugly thing happens again, he will definitely not let her go again.
Shui Qingqing looked up at him in a panic, but she didn't expect that Mei Zijin's tall figure pressed down on her, and at that moment, the strong sense of oppression made her flustered heart almost collapse.
However, the next moment, he bent down to pick up the letterhead in front of her, turned around like nothing, and turned to Bai Junfeng next to him with a cold look.
"When did she deliver this letter to you?"
Mei Zijin looked at Bai Junfeng and asked coldly.
Seeing that Mei Zijin, who had been silent, suddenly asked, not only Bai Junfeng was stunned, but Bai Lingwei, who had the chance to win, was also slightly surprised.
The others also looked at him with surprises, including the frightened Shui Qingqing.
She knelt on the ground, raised her eyes and looked at the majestic man in front of her in a daze, looking at him lightly, the Bai brothers and sisters changed their faces one after another, and they smoothly diverted everyone's attention from her, so that while she breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of hope and warmth was born in her desperate heart......
was stared at coldly by Mei Zijin, and the color on Bai Junfeng's face was difficult to maintain, so he said calmly: "The ...... she gave me last night"
"When was last night? Who did she send the letterhead? Where was it when it was delivered to you? Can there be witnesses? β
Mei Zijin was indifferent in his description, and his tone was even more unhurried, but the question he asked made Bai Junfeng instantly dumbfounded.
It's easy to make up a lie, but it's hard to make it up to the point where it doesn't leak!
Bai Junfeng didn't feel a cold sweat on his forehead, but he pretended to be calm on his face, and said coldly with disdain: "When the lantern was in hand, she asked people to send the letterhead to Baifu, and I didn't care who it was." And when I received the letterhead, I went to the study, and there was no one else around......"
"Huh!"
A cold sneer escaped from his lips, Mei Zijin's indifferent face sank again, his deep eyes were full of ice and snow, and he said coldly word by word: "Sanshi, tell him what you know - all his whereabouts yesterday!" β
Sanshi responded in a deep voice, and said: "Yesterday was the birthday of Liuxiangyuan Oiran Liuxian'er, and Bai Dagongzi has been celebrating Liuxian'er's birthday in Liuxianglou since noon, and he didn't go out of the building until this morning to return to the patrol camp - these are all things that his subordinates heard Bai Gongzi and other guards say with their own ears when they went to the patrol camp this morning to give the order of the Hou Ye. β
From the moment Sanshi mentioned the Liuxiang Courtyard, Bai Junfeng's body began to tremble, panic appeared on his calm face, and his eyes looked at Bai Lingwei, who was also pale.
However, Mei Zijin's following words made him even more dead.
"As far as Ben Hou knows, yesterday was Bai Gongzi's duty time, but in order to celebrate the birthday of your confidante, Bai Gongzi didn't arrive at his post all day!"
Looking coldly at Bai Junfeng, whose face was bloodless, Mei Zijin's thin lips hooked the most cruel sneer.
"Such dereliction of duty, not taking the safety of the saint into account, and the criminal deceiving the king, what crime should you bear?"
"And you never left the Xianlou last night, how did you receive the letterhead she sent you? Everything is your lie. You deceived Ben Hou so much, what should Ben Hou do with you? β
"You openly ran to the Hou Mansion to rape. The daughter of the prostitute marquis's mansion also made up lies to insult people's innocence, how can Benhou get this justice back from you? β
Bai Junfeng's body was weak, and he couldn't care about the burned thighs anymore, and knelt down in front of Mei Zijin with his whole body trembling.
And with him, Bai Lingwei was frightened and pale.
Now, everything has been revealed, she was afraid that her framing of Shui Qingqing would be discovered by Mei Zijin, so she hurriedly pointed at Bai Junfeng and trembled: "Big brother, I thought you were coming to the house to see Xiao Shizi, how could you do such a thing?" In this way, you don't want your reputation, but you don't even care about the reputation of your sister and Xiao Shizi - outsiders don't know, and they will think that your sister is your accomplice, but at that time, ...... At that time, my sister had already taken Yun'er to the Hou Ye's house, and I didn't know it......"
Bai Lingwei is so powerful, her mind is spinning, and she has already pushed all the blame on Bai Junfeng, leaving herself completely clean.
At this time, Bai Junfeng's mind was already blank, when he saw the incident in the east window, Bai Lingwei gave up on himself, he was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he was about to open his mouth to expose her as the mastermind, but Bai Lingwei had already rushed ahead of him, knelt down in front of Mei Zijin and the old lady, and then opened his mouth to intercede for him.
"Please be gracious to the old lady...... My eldest brother was confused and did something wrong for a while, and asked the old lady and the Hou Ye to forgive him this time...... This matter is related to the reputation of the Hou Mansion and the Bai Mansion, and it will also affect the relationship between the two families, and the reputation of the concubine and Yun'er will also be damaged...... I beg the old lady and the Hou Ye to forgive the eldest brother for Yun'er's sake, and give him a chance to mend his ways......"
Seeing her intercede for herself, the anger and hatred in Bai Junfeng's heart disappeared, and he also understood that now is not the time for both sides to lose, Bai Lingwei and Xiao Shizi are his chances to turn over and save himself.
So, tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes and pleaded: "I passed away from my son's room to watch the world, and it just so happened that Miss Sheng also came...... Since the last time I saw her on her birthday, I fell in love with her, so I couldn't hold my ...... for a while."
"After that, I'm afraid...... Afraid of the Hou Ye's punishment, he forged the letterhead...... Please also ask the old lady and the Hou Ye to forgive me this time......"
Things twisted and turned, and took a sharp turn, making everyone smack!
Tang Wanqing had already stepped forward to help Shui Qingqing on the ground, and said distressedly: "Miss Biao has been wronged!" If you have anything to say, talk to Hou Ye, and Hou Ye will definitely make decisions for you. β
Shui Qingqing's eyes were as cold as blades and looked at the Bai brothers and sisters on the ground, the hatred in her heart churned, and she gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "At that time, when I entered this house, the doors and windows were all closed, and even the curtains inside were covered...... You already knew that I was coming, and everything was premeditated by you, and it was not your impromptu idea at all. β
"And then I shouted for help, and not a single figure in the entire Baiwei Courtyard appeared, but after I desperately resisted and burned this obscene bitch, Xia Chan rushed in with someone, and without saying a word, he slandered me for hooking up with him here - you dare to say that all this was not colluded by you in advance!?"
Now, she has completely torn her face with Bai Lingwei, thinking about the original revenge of snatching the son and destroying the mouth and today's frame-up, Shui Qingqing only longs for her to die.
She looked at Bai Lingwei with a panicked face coldly, gritted her teeth and said, "Since my aunt took Xiao Shizi to Hou Ye early, why did she let the maid come to tell me, saying that Xiao Shizi was crying and asked me to take care of it?" β
"You set a trap with your eldest brother and deliberately used Yun'er to lure me here. Therefore, everything today is thanks to you - Bai Lingwei, you are the culprit who framed me! β
