Chapter 26: False accusations
Everyone in this house knows that the third lady is from a small family, but because of the dowry back then, it also impressed the people in the house. And among her dowry, the rarest is a square brick jade the size of two teacups.
This beautiful jade is white and transparent, mellow and clear, if it is hot and dry in summer, you only need to put it in your hand for a while, you can cool off the heat.
Wu Wanhua loves clothes and jewelry the most, and has twice and three times wanted to exchange the precious jade with the beautiful jade of the third lady, which is a rare thing for the third lady, so she naturally doesn't want to change it, and she pretended to be stupid and prevaricated several times. Now that I broke it in front of her, she was naturally very embarrassed.
If the jade is given out, it will be a pain like the tip of the heart, and if you don't give it, the big words have already been said.
I looked out of the corner of my eye to see that Wu Wanhua was drinking the big red robe with a teacup at this time, and she was waiting for the third lady to reply.
Even if she doesn't like me, she can naturally stand this favor.
The third lady is not too stupid at this time, and said lightly, "That Fang Yu has been playing with it for many years, and it is also an old object, how can I send an old thing over on the birthday of the main mother." I'm supposed to be preparing other valuable gifts. ”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Wu Wanhua's eyes, she took a sip of tea soup, put the tea bowl on the table, and said with a light smile, "That's really Sister Lao's trouble." ”
"Where is my sister's words, it should be." The third lady saluted, and her eyes were full of embarrassment that could not be hidden.
After this trouble, the third lady's arrogance disappeared a lot, but she still didn't give up and said, "You don't want to say it, no matter what, it's not right for you to go out of the house today, and you have to accept the family law if you reason."
Moreover, if you go out for most of the day, even if you buy gifts, you should have come back a long time ago. Tell me, where are you going this afternoon? ”
Well? What is the ......
"Sister, why are you so anxious, don't be scared."
The second lady, who had not spoken, spoke, she habitually stroked the handkerchief with her hand, and said, "Tanmu is still a child, and her memory is naturally not too good." If you ask like this, she is afraid that she will not be nervous and can't remember, didn't she go out with a personal maid, so you ask the maid, where her young lady has gone today. ”
The third lady immediately said, "That's right, Luzhu, you come and talk back." ”
Green Bead hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Let's talk about it, where did your young lady go today, think about it, say a lie, and tear your mouth apart!"
"Slaves and maids don't dare, slaves and maids definitely don't dare." Lu Zhu hurriedly kowtowed, and said slowly, "Today, my young lady went to the market when she went out, walked for a while, went to the restaurant to eat, and then came back." ”
"Oh?" The third lady asked, "Just go to these places, not to other places?" ”
Lu Zhu immediately kowtowed, "The slave doesn't dare to hide it." ”
"Heh......" the third lady snorted, "Crispy lotus, give me a hard palm!" ”
The maid next to her responded, walked over and raised her hand to fight, but I stopped her, pushed her out half a step, and said coldly, "Third lady, what do you mean!" ”
"What do you mean?" The second lady sneered, "Naturally, she was punished for lying!" Don't you know where you two went in the afternoon? This slave still dares to hide it, so naturally she should slap her mouth fiercely! ”
I seemed to know in my heart, but I asked, "What do you mean, madam?" ”
"What do you mean, you are embarrassed to ask, you are a dignified lady of the General's Mansion, and you actually put on men's clothes...... Going to a place like Hualou is really a shame for the general's mansion!
If someone hadn't seen it and came to report it, I wouldn't have known that you were so ridiculous, sister, if you don't punish it severely today, where will the face of the General's Mansion be! ”
Now, I understand it completely.
I watched before I entered the Red Mansion, and there was no one around. There are few men in the house, and the nurses will naturally not go to the place where the gold is sold. If anyone sees it, there is only one person who is most likely, and that is the second lady
These three ladies were bent on getting angry, thinking that they would not spare anyone if they caught me.
Actually, it's just a way to make people use it as a pathfinder spear gun, and it's not how to be sold.
I lowered my face and asked with a little indignation, "Madam, what kind of Hualou you are talking about, Qian Mu doesn't understand it at all, but just listening to the name, it must not be a good place."
There must be evidence for everything, since you said that Tan Mu went to Hualou, there is no evidence, where is the evidence? ”
The third lady was stunned, "Of course, someone saw you and told me." Otherwise, how do you know that you went to the flower building! ”
Then I asked her, "Whoever sees it, who tells it, and you call someone, and I confront him!" Black is black, and white is white. It's about my reputation, and it's not ambiguous! ”
This...... The third lady's face was slightly ugly, and she said in a loud voice, "I heard from a family member, but because I was in a hurry, I didn't see who that family member was." ”
"This is not difficult, there is a register in and out of the house, as long as the housekeeper takes the register to check carefully, it will be clear who will leave the house during that time." After that, I will go and call the butler.
The third lady immediately stopped me, and after talking for a long time, she said with an ugly face, "Actually, it wasn't someone who told me, it was me drinking tea in the room, and suddenly a paper ball flew in, on which wrote your whereabouts today." ”
"It's fine." I nodded and asked coldly, "Where's the paper ball?" Mrs. Lao Nu took it out and took a look, and in front of the mistress, I wanted to see who framed me! ”
The third lady's face became even more ugly, and she groaned for a while, and said, "Paper...... After I finished reading the paper ball, it caught fire and burned to ashes......"
I can't wait to laugh three times, God help me! If someone does things so beautifully, wouldn't it be boring if I didn't beat the water dogs!
I immediately fell to my knees with a thud, pinched myself hard, and said with tears in my eyes, "Aunt Mistress, you heard it all." Today's matter, please ask the aunt and uncle to make the decision for me. ”
Dumping Mu went out to buy gifts for his aunt, maybe he was greedy for fun, and he walked around for a while, but he definitely didn't go to any flower building. The third lady had no evidence, and there was no evidence at all, so she came to slander my reputation and asked the mistress to uphold justice for me! ”
As I spoke, I pinched myself again, this time harder, and tears flowed out of my eyes.
The third lady was anxious, "Sister! I'm not lying, someone really threw a paper ball over, and after I read it, the paper ball really burned! ”
I sobbed and said, "Third lady, don't you have to say it, Tilt Mu understands, Tilt Mu speaks too straight, I don't know when I offended Mrs. If Mrs. is still unhappy, then today's family law, Dump Mu will admit it, but please also ask the third lady to take back the words that framed me, Dump Mu has never been to Hualou, just haven't been!
What a paper ball, what burned itself. Dumping Mu is only nine years old, and he can also distinguish some truths, so embarrassing me, what does Madam mean! ”
"You! You! The third lady was speechless in anger. You have been suffocating for a long time, your face is flushed, and you are speechless in the end.
I cried even more happily, and let the housewife call the shots one by one, and the third lady kept justifying.
Wu Wanhua didn't speak for a long time, and when she was half-loud, she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows. In the end, he said, "That's it, don't talk about it, let's stop it today." I've got a little headache, Jinru, get my pill for my headache. ”
"Yes, Mistress." Jin Ru hurriedly walked over, opened a delicate small porcelain bottle, and took two pills for her to take.
Half-loud, she frowned, put her hand on her forehead and said, "That's the end of today's matter, don't mention it in the future, go back, I have to sleep." After saying that, she let Jinru help her into the house.
The matter has come to this point, and there is no intention to stay for a long time.
The second lady was the first to leave, and the third lady glared at me fiercely before leaving. Luzhu helped me up and called softly, "Miss......"
I glanced at her and motioned for her not to speak.
"Little Miss." As soon as he came out of Tingxue Pavilion, the housekeeper immediately greeted him, and he had been waiting at the door.
I smiled slightly, and bowed, "Thank you, Uncle Butler, today." ”
The housekeeper hurriedly bent down and said, "Oh, little miss, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's late at night, the old slave will take the lamp and send the young lady back." ”
It's Shen Shi when I come back, and I've been tossing for a long time, and it's already more than half of the unitary time, and it's time to raise the lamp.
"There's Uncle Steward." I bowed my head.
"It should be, it should be." The housekeeper immediately went to take out a delicate eight treasures, etc., lit it with a fire fold, walked beside me, and illuminated it for me all the way. The tea is on to my small courtyard.
"Miss go back, the old slave will leave." The housekeeper whispered. I nodded, and he saluted and left.
When I went back to the house, I asked the maid to boil hot water to wash, and after drinking medicine, I changed my clothes and lay down.
Xu was so tired that I didn't want to think about anything, so I closed my eyes and slept until dawn.
Early the next morning, Uncle Housekeeper sent Su Tianxue and me to the Blue Pavilion.
The two of us got out of the car and entered the pavilion, each went to the residence, and before I reached the small courtyard, I heard someone call me from a distance, and I looked intently, and a square-faced young man wearing blue brocade ran opposite was actually the little overlord Rong Ziyang.
"Hey! The sister of the Su family. Knives, what about my knives, did you buy them? I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and when I fell asleep, I would dream of that knife, did you buy it, give it to me quickly. ”
I'm a little big, I didn't expect this Rong Ziyang to be so persistent, and he actually got up early in the morning to ask me for a knife.
But it's okay......
I sighed and said, "I haven't bought the knife yet. I sneaked out of the house yesterday and was caught by my mother, and in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out at will, and I can't buy a knife for you for the time being. ”
Rong Ziyang didn't believe it, "No, you're an eldest lady, why are you even restricted from accessing?" ”
I sighed, "What did I lie to you, yesterday, I was almost used in the family method." Don't believe you ask about green beads. ”
Mine is telling the truth, and Green Bead nodded immediately.
Rong Ziyang was a little depressed: "Then what about my knife." ”
I thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you do this, I'll tell you the general location of the hawker's stall, and you can go around by yourself, and maybe you'll come across it." ”
Rongzi said, "That's not good, once you find the wrong one, the one you buy is different from you, it's a fake among fakes, master, won't I suffer a loss, it's better for you to buy it." It's just that it's a problem that you can't get out......"
He touched his chin a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "I have a way!" ”
