Chapter XXIV: Her Perjury

"The slave maid's monthly silver was given to my mother to make a living, but the slave's father was a drunkard, drinking every day, and the family couldn't save money, at this time the slave's mother passed the word that the slave's younger brother was fighting with others in the gambling house, and was slashed, if there was no money to see a doctor, he had to wait for death, and the slave and maid really had no choice, so he thought of stealing property from the eldest lady's room."

"The old lady and the old man both love the eldest lady, the eldest lady's food and clothing should be the best, the slave maid has to take risks in order to save her brother's life, begging the lady to spare the slave maid's life Don't send the slave maid to the government, the slave maid is also eager to save people's hearts, please, the slave begs you......"

It's a reasonable edit.

Lu Xueyi nodded, "Caixia, you said that you chose to steal property because someone in your family was in urgent need of treatment, but why didn't you go to the second lady for help?" As far as I know, your family is loyal to Aunt Xia and Ling'er, Ling'er is not a person who treats old servants harshly, Aunt Xia has been in the Lu Mansion for more than ten years, and the family is full of praise for Aunt Xia, praising Aunt Xia for being gentle and sincere, such a good master, you actually didn't ask them to help but fell in love with the master's things, who gave you such courage! ”

In the end, her voice raised violently, and Caixia was already frightened, and after Lu Xueyi slapped the table, she suddenly rolled her eyes and fainted......

Tsk, why did you faint so quickly? She hasn't confessed yet, and Lu Xueyi feels excited.

Although Aunt Xia on the side knelt quietly on the ground with her head down, this did not prevent her from moving her brain quickly at this time.

She hasn't thought of a good excuse to deal with the question raised by Lu Xueyi, no, she can't panic yet!

"Aunt Xia, what do you think about this matter?" Liu Shi beat a drum in his heart, but he still asked sharply with a straight face.

She is the bride, and the lord's heart is now on her, but it is said that this Aunt Xia was also a very favored lord in the past, and if the freshness of the lord passes, maybe she will think of her.

Liu Shi looked at Aunt Xia again, Aunt Xia was born beautiful, otherwise she would not have been carried into the door to be an aunt, she is almost in her thirties, in order to please the lord on weekdays, she has privately found a lot of recipes to maintain her beauty, so her skin is delicate so far, and there are fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but you can't see it if you don't look carefully, from a distance of a few steps, it looks like she is only twenty-four or five years old.

What's more, Aunt Xia has already been in person, and now her smile and smile are all charm, which is unmatched by a bride like herself.

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and Liu's eyes became sharper and sharper when she looked at Aunt Xia.

No, she has to take this opportunity to bring down Aunt Xia, otherwise what if she gets up again because she is pregnant and has an heir for her lord?

With a good idea in his heart, Liu was sitting and watching Aunt Xia, ready to see how she would defend next.

"What are you doing? Why are they all gathered here? A loud voice pierced the crowd.

Liu's face was stunned, Lu Xueyi sighed, but Aunt Xia and Lu Xueling were completely relieved.

"Sir." A large group of people greeted each other under the leadership of the Liu family.

As soon as Lu Xianzhi, who had finished handling official business, returned home and found that no one had come forward today, he was wondering, and he saw a few maids hurrying to the side from a distance.

After hesitating for a moment, he also followed, and this time he followed Lu Xueling's courtyard.

Lu Xianzhi nodded, walked between the Liu family and Lu Xueyi, and the subordinate hurriedly got on a mahogany chair for him to sit down.

"What's going on?" He took the tea handed over by the maid, and while drinking it, he looked at the situation in the field and asked.

Liu was about to explain, but Aunt Xia, who was kneeling on the ground, had already crawled over on her knees, and hugged Lu Xianzhi's legs, tears flowed, she was beautiful and moving even when she cried, and Liu glared at her hatefully.

Lu Xue couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart, this Aunt Xia is used to tricks, and it is very time for her father to come back, Aunt Xia will cry like this first, even if her father is angry again after a while, with the idea that Aunt Xia is preconceived with tears on her face and has been wronged, her father will not punish her much!

"Master, please punish the concubine, it's all the concubine's fault......"

Lu Xianzhi was taken aback.

"This, what's going on? Xia, you make it clear. ”

Aunt Xia shook her head, looking like she wouldn't get up if she didn't forgive her, and the tears on her face had spent all her makeup, and she couldn't take care of it.

Lu Xian looked at Aunt Xia's face full of grievances, and his heart also beat a drum.

"Madame, you say." Lu Xianzhi pulled Aunt Xia up, turned her head and asked about Liu.

Liu Shi went through what happened in his mind, carefully sorted it out, and then told it eloquently, and after narrating the matter clearly, he looked at Lu Xueyi, who was silent on the side, and finally gritted his teeth and told the question she had just said.

Aunt Xia saw that Lu Xianzhi's face was not good, and immediately knelt down again, "Master, it's all the concubine's negligence, since the concubine has been in the Lu Mansion for more than ten years, she has been polite to the people, you know this." ”

Lu Xianzhi nodded, indeed, he doted on Aunt Xia because she knew how to advance and retreat, and knew how to measure.

"Caixia was enchanted by herself, and she stole the bracelet that Mrs. gave to the eldest lady, but she said that it was given to her by the second lady, and the concubine really didn't want to see the second miss suffer this unwarranted disaster, and asked the master to return the second miss a clean slate."

Lu Xian groaned for a moment, "What about the Caixia people?" ”

"The man has fainted." Liu replied hurriedly.

"Can she plead guilty?"

"Caixia had confessed to her crimes before she fainted." Aunt Xia hurriedly said.

Lu Xianzhi nodded again, "Now that the matter has been clarified, Caixia is also a woman after all, let's drive her out of the house as a punishment." ”

The Liu family wanted to refute, but the ultimate master in this mansion is still the master, and he is considered a bride at this time, and the foundation is still unstable.

After figuring out the key, Liu said softly: "What the master said is true." ”

"Thank you, sir." Aunt Xia wiped her tears and said.

"Thank you, Dad." Lu Xueling's knees were already sore, but she didn't dare to get up, and she was forgiven at this time, so she stood up with the support of the maid, but her knees were numb, and she staggered back a few steps before she stood still.

Lu Xianzhi seemed to be very satisfied with the result after the treatment, and beckoned to Lu Xueyi, "Yi'er, come here." ”

Lu Xueyi walked over obediently.

"Father, you seem to have lost some weight lately." Lu Xian said directly, and the people around her all looked at her, and Lu Xue was embarrassed.

"Mr. Qu administers needles to his daughter every day, presumably it is his credit."

"Well, yes, yes, I have to thank Mr. Qu for my father." The more Lu Xianzhi looked at it, the more he was pleased, this Lu Xueyi was his first child and his daughter-in-law, he put the most effort into her, so he naturally attached more importance to her, thinking that people always gave special treatment to his first blood and bones, and he was no exception.

"Father wants to thank Mr. for letting the kitchen do more delicious food, Mr. loves to eat." Lu Xueyi laughed and joked, and successfully made Lu Xianzhi laugh, and couldn't help but sigh when she was funny, this Yi'er seemed to have changed as if she had changed a person, she used to be delicate and arrogant, but now she is much more considerate, and she is a lot more modest.

"By the way, how's your wind chill? Amazing? Lu Xianzhi looked at the face that was a little lacking and asked worriedly.

Lu Xueling's knee pain finally eased at this time, but looking at the scene in front of her, her heart twitched and throbbed, and then there was a wave of unwillingness, Lu Xueyi, what her father saw in her eyes was always Lu Xueyi, a fat and ugly woman, how could she be willing?

"It's much better, Dr. Xiao prescribed medicine, and my daughter is also taking it on time, and she will get better in two days." Lu Xueyi couldn't help but soften her voice, this Lu Xianzhi's love for her daughter was undoubtedly revealed, and she was very moved.

"That's good, that's good, that's good, now that the matter has been settled, let's go back separately, Yi'er, you can also go back and have a good life."

"Yes, my daughter knows."

"Ling'er, it's messing up here, let your maid clean it up." Lu Xianzhi stood up, as if he had only seen Lu Xueling in front of him at this time.

"Yes, Ling'er knows." Lu Xueling lowered her head and hid the hatred in her eyes.

"Master." A black shadow flashed by Mozhu, and the person had already appeared in front of Xie Qi, but his face looked so strange.

Xie Qi put down the book, his thin lips opened lightly, "Say, what's wrong?" ”

Mo Zhu clasped his fists and saluted, "My subordinates obey your orders and have been concerned about the situation in the Lu Mansion today, so the eldest lady of the Lu family went to Mrs. Lu's courtyard early this morning and said that the jade bracelet was stolen. ”

Xie Qi laughed when he heard this, but Mo Zhu was shocked and was covered in a cold sweat, the master treats people coldly, and he has a cold face on weekdays, but now this indifferent face actually showed a smile, Mo Zhu felt that he was really alive......

"And then?"

Mo Zhu retracted his careful thoughts, "In the end, the jade bracelet was found on the maid of the second lady of the Lu Mansion, and the eldest lady made a gesture to send the maid to the official, and the second lady admitted it in shock, but the family pushed the maid out in order to cover up this, saying that there was a problem at home, so she had the idea of stealing the master's property." ”

Xie Qi nodded, although it was just a small calculation, at least it was not stupid, but it was really mixed up.

"Is the gentleman out again?"

"Not this time, when my subordinates just came back, I saw Mr. Qu going to the yard of the eldest lady."

Xie Qi nodded knowingly, "Let him go." ”

Lu Xueyi returned to her yard, just when she was in a good mood, but she was stared at by Mingzhu Mingyue and the others.

"Well, can I drink medicine later?" Lu Xueyi's words were a little short of breath.

"No way!"

"No way!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, and the startled Lu Xueyi suddenly shrank back.
