Chapter 85: Night Trial (1)
Every day, as soon as the hour passes, the doors of the front and back yards of the Zhu family will be locked in turn, and they will not be opened until the next day, before the hour. And the keys to the gate were all under the close care of the servants of the inner court, and no one was allowed to move them.
Therefore, when night falls, if the people in the inner courtyard want to go out, they must first have the master's order, otherwise, no matter who they are, they will not be able to step out even half a step.
Mother Wu sent someone to gather all the little people in the courtyard together, and then ordered them to go to the small gatekeeper outside the West Corner Gate to tie up Zhu An.
That Zhu An was sleeping Zhengxiang, who was pulled out of the quilt, and was tied with a rope without saying a word, and before he could speak, he was stuffed with stinky socks in his mouth.
Those little guys in the nursing home usually suffered from his bullying, and finally seized the opportunity to take revenge, so they naturally started to be more ruthless, and when they saw him resist slightly, they were punched and kicked, and they subdued him.
More than a dozen nurses directly escorted Zhu An into the west courtyard, and the movement was naturally not small.
Shen Yuechen didn't want to suppress it, the bigger the movement, the better. A mere subordinate dared to have such insidious thoughts about his master, even if he was really a bodhisattva, he would definitely not be spared.
Zhu An was originally a little confused, but later found that he was taken into the west courtyard, and he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and he had a sense of foreboding.
Shen Yuechen didn't prepare to interrogate him in the house, and ordered the maid to light all the lanterns outside, illuminate the yard, prepare tables, chairs, tea, and then call all the people in the yard over, whether it was an aunt or a maid, no one was allowed to fall.
Some of the aunts had already fallen asleep, and they were also called up from the bed by the maid, dressed neatly, and hurriedly rushed out, and before they could figure out what was going on, they saw the second steward Zhu An wearing pajamas, and his hair was tied up and thrown in the yard by the little maids.
Although Qin Taoxi hadn't slept yet, he was the last to arrive. Seeing such a big formation in the courtyard, his eyebrows moved, first glanced at Shen Yuechen, and then looked at Zhu An, but he didn't speak for a while, showing that he was waiting to see a good show.
Shen Yuechen was dressed in pale green clothes, sitting on the pear blossom chair, looking at Zhu An with a cold expression, and her heart was even more angry.
Behind her stood a maid and a woman, all with their backs upright and solemn faces. Rao is Mama Li, who has always been calm and calm, was also a little caught off guard at this time, and when she saw Zhu An, she was slightly weak-hearted, and subconsciously took a step back.
Zhu An guessed that his deeds were exposed, and his thoughts were quickly turned in his heart, and he secretly made up his mind to deny it to the end, and he would not admit it to death, and when the time came, his uncle would definitely come forward to intercede for him.
The courtyard is deep, and there are bright lanterns lit everywhere, although it is not gloomy, but it looks particularly solemn.
Shen Yuechen's face was already a little pale due to abdominal pain, but this will move again, adding a bit of blue and white. "Untie him and let her speak."
The little guys stepped forward to untie Zhu An, and pulled out the stinky socks from her mouth.
Zhu Ancai loosened his ties, stood up dishonestly, and said to Shen Yuechen, "Grandma, what are you doing?" Tie up the minions for no reason and make such a big fuss......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the boys grabbed his arms from side to side and pressed him back to his knees.
Zhu An pretended to be unconvinced: "Please also ask grandma to give me an explanation." ”
Shen Yuechen saw that he was dying, and he didn't know how to repent and admit his mistakes, knowing that he was hopeless. So, he suddenly let out a sneer: "As the saying goes, it is difficult to prevent thieves day and night." I really didn't expect that our Steward Zhu would be such a scheming thief! ”
As soon as these words came out, Mama Li's face became more and more solemn, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing where she started to say this.
Zhu An's body trembled slightly, but he still said stiffly: "Grandma, when you say this, the slave can't understand it?" The slave is wholeheartedly the head of the Zhu family, and he is good, how did he become a thief? ”
Shen Yuechen's eyes narrowed slightly, the expression on his face gradually became cold, and he threw the tea bowl on the table at him, the tea bowl was filled with steaming tea, the tea water was sprinkled, and the tea leaves were sprinkled all over Zhu An's face, the tea bowl shattered in response, and the broken porcelain pieces of white flowers flew everywhere, jumping all over the ground.
Zhu An screamed when he was burned, and a blood mark was scraped out of his face by the broken porcelain, and he looked very embarrassed.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then quietly turned their heads and glanced at Shen Yuechen, and couldn't help but be surprised when they saw her gloomy expression. She has always been gentle and dignified, and after entering the mansion, she never even said a word to anyone, but now she ...... What exactly did Juan steal? What is there to steal from Shen Yuechen's side?
Shen Yuechen was indeed very angry, raised her voice and said: "I'm young and don't like to oppress people, you don't take me seriously, you think I'm a bully, you can do whatever you want." You are the housekeeper of the family, so you are naturally more decent than them, so you dare to play tricks with me behind my back. I originally planned that as long as you can repent a little bit and admit your mistakes, I will take care of your dignity and not be difficult for you. But you are so ignorant that you have to dig your own grave to be willing, then I have no choice but to fulfill you. ”
While speaking, Cui Xin had already replaced Shen Yuechen with boiling hot tea, and Chun Ming pulled out Chun Fang, who had been hiding behind people, pushed her to Zhu An, and said sharply: "Say it again in front of everyone in front of everyone!" ”
Zhu An was burned a lot, grinning his teeth and screaming, and when he saw Chunfang crying and crying, he frowned, only to feel that the pain on his face was even worse.
After all, he was in trouble, so he naturally felt a little weak, and then looked at Shen Yuechen's cold eyes that were different from the past, and felt that he was going to be difficult to pass tonight.
It's just that no matter what, he will never admit it, although he instigated Chunfang to steal the account book, but they can't come up with evidence, and they can't rely on her little maid to slander themselves with red lips and white teeth. As long as he insists that he doesn't have it, he just insists on it until his uncle comes to relieve him.
Chunfang was in front of everyone, her mind was a little scattered for a while, and she couldn't speak in a panic.
Chun Ming didn't care about anything else, raised his hand and slapped her, and shouted: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears." Don't be honest yet, I'll skin you right now. ”
Chunfang was taken aback, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in a row, telling everything about the whole story.
Everyone was shocked and incredulous.
Mama Li was even more like someone had given her a slap in the face, her face was instantly bloodless, only pale and shocked, and her mind immediately began to be chaotic...... This dead ghost dares to do such a degrading thing, not only harming herself, but also inevitably affecting her......
