"Third Miss, the slaves and maids all do what the eldest lady orders."

"The slave and maid are just helping to look out for the wind, the oil lamp...... The slave swore that she had never even touched it! ”

Ye Yaoqin saw that all these subordinates in her courtyard were vying to kowtow to Ye Zhiwei, and her eyes were about to bleed.

She couldn't figure out how the subordinates who were loyal to her in the past all fell to her side just by watching Ye Zhiwei beat the maid a few boards.

Ye Zhiwei looked at Ye Yaoqin's embarrassed face, and couldn't help but chuckle.

The reason why Ye Yaoqin couldn't figure it out was because in her eyes, she had always regarded Ye Zhiwei as the low-key third lady before, she regarded Ye Zhiwei's forbearance as a bully, and Ye Zhiwei's low-key as weakness.

She forgot that the current Ye Zhiwei is no longer her former identity, she is now not only the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, but also the emperor's own father-in-law.

Ye Yaoqin was so angry that she stepped forward and pulled out a person from the kneeling crowd and shouted: "Nonsense, who gave you the courage to dare to frame your master!" ”

Those mothers-in-law stubbornly said: "Miss, the old slave can't help it, the old slave still has a family to support!" ”

Several other mothers-in-law also nodded silently, who has no flesh and blood, no relatives, even if they are slaves, they don't want to die like this easily.

"Cousin, so you instructed someone to set this fire?" Ye Zhiwei looked at her with a full time, only staring at Ye Yaoqin's hair.

"They...... They're spewing blood! Ye Yaoqin said angrily, "It's just a few slaves, my sister can't believe their words." ”

Ye Zhiwei smiled: "Since you say so, then they are all framing you?" ”

"Of course!" Ye Yaoqin raised her face, she had made up her mind, she would not admit it to death, and Ye Zhiwei would not dare to do anything to her.

Ye Zhiwei said to the people kneeling at the bottom of the steps, "In this way, it is you short-sighted minions who are framing your cousin, what is the use of leaving you, all of them will be dragged out, and each person will receive fifty boards." ”

"Third Miss! The minions are telling the truth! ”

"What the slave said is true!"

"Ask the third lady for mercy, the slave maid will never say half a lie......"

Everyone didn't expect that the eldest lady not only didn't defend them, but something happened and pushed them all to death with a single sentence.

If the fifty boards are fought, among these people, I am afraid that even half of them will not be able to survive.

Just when there was chaos in the courtyard, there was a knock on the door outside Jufangyuan.

Ye Zhiwei asked people to open the door and saw that it was the gold manager.

"Grandpa Guo heard that there was water here at night, so he specially sent a servant to come over and take a look." Jin Mingyang entered the garden, first saluted Ye Zhiwei, and then went to check the burning warehouse.

Ye Zhiwei said, "It's okay, I just burned the warehouse, and everything is fine." ”

Ye Yaoqin's eyes couldn't help but widen when she heard this, "...... The fire was so big just now...... How could something not burn out? ”

Ye Zhiwei sneered disdainfully, "What's the matter, didn't burn things out and let you down cousin?" ”

Ye Yaoqin immediately came back to her senses and shouted: "Ye Zhiwei, don't be untrustworthy, this matter has nothing to do with me, you don't want to pour dirty water on me!" ”

The golden steward entered the treasury, and in a short time he had a dozen or so boxes carried from inside to the courtyard.

The copper nails on the boxes were blackened with smoke, but they were all intact.

"The things rewarded by the emperor naturally can't be compared with ordinary objects." Ye Zhiwei smiled and instructed Mama Mi, "Open it and let the golden steward take a look, so that I can go back and report to my grandfather." ”

Mama Mi answered, and stepped forward to open the boxes one by one.

Ye Zhiwei stood aside silently, her eyes falling on Ye Yaoqin's body.

Although Ye Yaoqin tried her best to make a nonchalant look, her eyes were still shaken by the boxes of gold, silver and jade.

"Steward Gold, please see, everything is intact." Mama Mi deliberately raised her voice.

Ye Yaoqin slowly leaned in front of the box, as if she was fascinated by the brilliance of the gold, silver and jade in the box, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand......

I grabbed a string of eastern beads, crystal white beads, full of them.

Ye Zhiwei was talking to Steward Jin, as if she had completely forgotten Ye Yaoqin standing here.

Many subordinates on the side saw Ye Yaoqin stealing things, but the subordinates around Ye Zhiwei all chose to look away and turn a blind eye.

The people around Ye Yaoqin didn't dare to speak.

Their own master actually stole the third lady's things in public, and even their faces felt dull, and they all hung their heads, eager to burrow their heads into the ground.

Ye Yaoqin grabbed Dongzhu and was about to turn around, when she suddenly heard the golden steward behind her say, "In this way, someone deliberately set the fire!" ”

The sound was not loud, but it scared her, and she had already stepped down the steps with one foot, stepping on the bluestone ground.

In order to put out the fire just now, there were water stains everywhere on the ground, and Ye Yaoqin took a hurried step and slipped out with one foot.

"Ahh She let out a scream, and her body fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Miss!"

The maid beside Ye Yaoqin hurriedly came to help her up.

Just now, Ye Yaoqin's buttocks hurt, as if it was split into eight petals.

It was not until the two maids helped her up, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

Ye Yaoqin angrily pushed away the maid beside her, "You don't have long eyes, you can't kill me if you want to!" She thought that tonight's fire would burn half of Ye Zhiwei's things, but she didn't expect that the objects in the palace were even more fire-resistant than ordinary things, not only did she not let Ye Zhiwei lose things, but she almost trapped herself in it.

"By the way, just now these people said that this fire seems to have something to do with my cousin, so in my opinion, I should ask my grandfather to have an idea." Ye Zhiwei's voice came.

Ye Yaoqin only felt a buzz in her head.

She was punished by her grandfather to be grounded in the courtyard and copy the family motto a hundred times, and now if this incident happens again, I am afraid that she will be asked to kneel in the ancestral hall.

It was only then that she remembered that she was afraid, and hurriedly pushed away the maid beside her, thinking that she would quickly go to her mother to get an idea.

She hurriedly took steps, but she didn't expect to take two steps, and her feet slipped again, this time, the fall was even worse than the last time, the whole person flew up in the air, her buttocks went down, and even the string of eastern beads hidden in her sleeve was thrown out and fell to the ground, the chain broke, and the beads crackled and rolled to the ground.

Ye Yaoqin saw that the things in her hands were gone, and she was laughed at by everyone, she was ashamed and annoyed, and shouted to the maid beside her, "Are you all blind, why don't you help me up quickly!" ”

Those maids were scolded by her for no reason just now, and they were not in a beautiful mood, all of them were crying and mournful, and no one refused to use real strength to help her up.

Ye Yaoqin could only exert herself strength, but as soon as she stood up, she stepped on those scattered Dongzhu under her feet.

Those beads were round and smooth, plus the bluestone ground was full of water, and the road surface was downhill, Ye Yaoqin didn't stand firmly, and her whole body slid out.

"Miss!" The maid beside her reached out to pull her, but remembered what she had been scolded just now, so she deliberately slowed down her hand by half a beat.

Ye Yaoqin rushed down the downhill slope of the bluestone road in the posture of Chang'e running to the moon in full view of everyone......
