Chapter 41: The Scapegoat

Liu Qingqing had just been sent away, and the old man of the Liu family hurried to the hall.

Looking at the signature loving smile on his father's face that had been the same for decades, it had disappeared without a trace at this moment, and Liu Jianren knew that something was wrong. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said with a smile: "Seeing that it is noon, the sun is so poisonous, why did my father come over?" ”

Old lady Liu moved to the high table step by step with a longevity cane, picked herself up and sat down, and said gloomily: "If I don't come again, won't you want me to die?" Let me ask you, what the hell is going on with the young girl? ”

Liu Jianren glared at the Jin family, knowing that she must be troublesome, and he was afraid that Qingqing would be aggrieved, so he secretly invited the old lady over.

Old lady Liu has such eyesight, and said sharply: "You don't have to stare at her, I thought about coming over to take a look when I heard the noise in this courtyard, but who knew that I saw Qingqing girl dizzy." Tell me, what's going on? ”

Liu Jianren knew that he would definitely not be able to hide this, so he wiped his sweat and told his old father the ins and outs of the matter.

Old lady Liu frowned as she listened, and when she heard the end, her face widened slightly. He said slowly, "The reason why that Qing boy left the matter to you is because he doesn't have full evidence to cure our crimes. ”

Seeing that Liu Jianren still didn't have a sudden understanding, he shook his head and said: "Let me ask you, although this brocade soft gold embroidery is a tribute, there are only two horses, and they both entered the Liu Mansion. But this tribute is a tribute from the past year, and if the person who gave the tribute wants to make it again, he may get a small saddle robe within a year? ”

Liu Jianren nodded and said, "This is nature. ”

Old lady Liu repeatedly grew her beard, and then said: "Let me ask you again, this brocade soft gold embroidery is a tribute, extremely precious, using it as a saddle, isn't it tyrannical and asking for trouble?" It can be seen that most of this incident is deliberately framed by someone to our Liu family. ”

Liu Jianren nodded again, and his chaotic thoughts gradually cleared up in his father's verbal analysis.

Old lady Liu looked at him and said, "Besides, since you said that the brocade soft gold embroidery is physical evidence, someone left the house yesterday is a human witness." But it was not Qingqing who left the house yesterday, but her girl. Does what her girl does have to be her? Of course, it cannot be so arbitrary. ”

Liu Jianren secretly admired his father's cleverness, and only promised: "Yes, yes, yes, what my father said is very true." ”

Old lady Liu said helplessly: "You just nodded, it made me dizzy." What do I mean, do you understand? ”

Yanami Rennuo said: "My son understands. ”

It was about his favorite granddaughter and the face of the Liu family, but Mrs. Liu was still not at ease, so she said to the Jin family and the Bai family: "You two go down first, I have something to say to your master." ”

Seeing that the old lady picked up his daughter in a few words, the Jin family had nothing to worry about, and said gratefully: "I'm relieved that the old lady is in charge of Qingqing, and I won't disturb you to talk about business." Then he took Aunt Bai and retreated.

Liu Hongbao and Hongbei were still waiting outside the door, and when they saw the Jin family and the Bai family coming out, they said, "I've seen my mother and aunt." ”

Jin looked at the inquiry in Liu Hongbao's eyes, and said coldly: "Hongbao, you have always been a steady child, why don't you know the importance so much today?" In the future, don't talk nonsense about things you don't know, you must know that trouble comes from your mouth, and when the time comes, don't say that I, a mother, have not taught you. ”

"Yes." Liu Hongbao knew that the Jin family would definitely blame her for today's incident, but she didn't expect her to be so impatient. Things are still coming out of nowhere, so she is taught a lot of things. Looking at her calm and relaxed appearance, could it be that the old lady has made this matter turn around? Wouldn't you be at a loss? It took her years of savings to buy off the guards at the door, and she promised Zhen'er to the head of the guards who had coveted her for a long time.

If Liu Qingqing can really escape, then how should she deal with herself in the house in the future? "I don't know how Sister Qingqing is now, why don't we go and see her together?" Liu Hongbao asked tentatively.

The Jin family only glanced at her with his spare eyes, not wanting to make everyone ugly, so he said: "Okay, I've made enough noise today, I'm tired, go down and rest!" ”

Liu Hongbao was stunned, looked at the Jin family who was far away, and then looked at the Bai family and Hongyu in front of him, and said coquettishly: "Auntie, third sister, I ......"

Bai Shi shook his head and said, "Hongyu, let's go!" ”

Liu Hongyu helped Aunt Bai to go, looking at Liu Hongbao who was in place, she couldn't bear it, and turned back to her: "The sun is so poisonous now, sister should go back quickly!" ”

The meeting hall of the Liu family is called Cuizhu Hall, and there is a picture of Cuizhu hanging on the wall facing the gate. On the left and right of the green bamboo diagram hangs a cursive couplet, which reads, "The new bamboo is higher than the old bamboo branches, and it is all supported by the old stem." There will be a new student next year, and the ten-zhang dragon grandson will surround the phoenix pool. ”

At this moment, the old lady of the Liu family was sitting on the wide stool in front of the green bamboo picture, and said to his son Liu Jianren, who was sitting under him: "Have you figured out how to reply?" ”

Liu Jianren nodded, and then shook his head in frustration. His father's words were reasonable, but it was one thing for him to analyze the pros and cons for himself, and it was another thing for him to report the results of the investigation to the Jade King. You can't say in front of the Yu brothers, "You have no evidence, and you can't rely on a piece of cloth to cure my daughter's sin." "Such a foolish thing to commit below!

Old lady Liu gritted the only two remaining molars with hatred, and pursed her lips: "Didn't you say that there were two slaves and maids who left the house yesterday?" ”

Liu Jianren said: "Yes, it is Qingqing's two envoys." ”

Old lady Liu widened her sleeves and said, "Send them to the palace, so that you can make a good deal." ”

Liu Jianren's forehead had two short eyebrows and one horizontal, embarrassed: "But these two girls grew up with Qingqing since childhood, and they are the slaves of the Liu family, I ......"

Old lady Liu poked on the wooden floor with a cane, and snorted, "Didn't you even want to give up your own daughter just now?" Now it's going to be real, and it's because of the two minions who are in trouble? The princess was born prematurely, almost a corpse and two lives, you are not even willing to give up a minion, how can you suppress the anger of the prince? ”

Liu Jianren finally got the hang of it, and said like garlic: "Yes, yes, my son will go to find the father of the two girls to discuss this matter, and later personally press the two girls to the palace to make amends." ”

Old lady Liu nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is like words!" "You stupid son, you have to let Lao Tzu go out in person. The old man stood up and sat for a long time, his legs were stiff, his waist was weak, he saw the bright sunlight outside, he was a little sad, he sighed: "I'm old, how many years can I live?" The road ahead will be yours to walk on your own. ”

Liu Jianren hurriedly supported the old father, sweating like rain and said: "Whatever my father says, I blame my son for being too stupid and letting my father worry about it." ”

Old lady Liu waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, you go and get busy with your go!" ”
