Chapter 651: The so-called justification
Haven't seen Caiyue? Didn't give the box? So, is Nie Caiyue telling a lie, or is Xiao Xiu lying?
When Mrs. Nie on one side heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said angrily: "Xiao Xiu, what did you say?" ”
This little repair, at a glance, knew that he was bribed to frame Nie Caiyue, and now, he actually didn't admit it, how could Mrs. Nie give up?
Aunt Yue on the side looked at Mrs. Nie, and suddenly smiled and said, "Yo, madam, what are you in a hurry...... Since Xiao Xiu has said that she has not seen the second miss, then there is another person who can't give the second miss the ointment, what about this person, there are many girls she sees every day, and it is not necessarily wrong to remember...... Second Miss, don't you say? ”
Aunt Yue's words are pertinent, looking like that, it seems that she is looking for steps for Nie Caiyue to go down, but anyone can hear it, she is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
When Nie Xiangxiu heard this, she couldn't help nodding on the side, and said, "Yes, mother, look at it, these two sisters haven't asked clearly, why are you so anxious?" ”
Nie Xiangxiu wished that Nie Caiyue wouldn't ask clearly in her life.
Obviously, Mrs. Nie wanted to protect Nie Caiyue, but Nie Xiangxiu refused to let her. She wanted to see if Nie Caiyue was unlucky this time, what would Mrs. Nie do to protect her.
Mrs. Nie's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Things have to be clarified, don't you want to find the culprit who killed you, Xiangxiu?" ”
As soon as Mrs. Nie said this, Aunt Yue's face changed again, but then returned to normal.
Nie Xiangxiu snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Nie Caiyue listened here, shook her head, and said, "No, it's what Xiao Xiu took to me...... All the girls present can testify. ”
Nie Xiangxiu, who was on the side, heard this, and couldn't help but sneer: "Those girls are all your girls, of course they are facing you, don't say that they are witnessing for you, that is, if you want them to refer to the deer as horses, they don't dare not refer to it......"
The old lady's expression also seemed to change.
Now, it is obvious that Nie Caiyue told a lie, because Xiao Xiu is a person in the old lady's house, and there is no need to slap anyone. Therefore, her words should be true.
Mrs. Nie on the side wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Nie glanced at her coldly, and Mrs. Nie was immediately silent and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Everyone present looked at Nie Caiyue, and they didn't know what kind of look they had in their bright and dark eyes.
Nie Caiyue's face remained unchanged, she took a step forward and said softly to Xiao Xiu: "Xiao Xiu, obviously you sent the ointment to me, saying that it was given by the old lady, now, why don't you remember?" ”
Xiao Xiu didn't dare to look at Nie Caiyue, she just shrank and said in a low voice: "Back to the second miss, the slave maid has been helping in the kitchen, and she hasn't been to the back garden at all...... Where will there be any ointment for the second lady... Besides......"
Xiao Xiu suddenly raised his head, looked at the old lady, and said: "Old lady Mingjian, Xiao Xiu is just a rough girl, doing some subordinate work, this thing to give items to the young ladies, it should be Mei Ying, Mei Qing, Mei Hua, Mei Juan, and the elder sisters...... This kind of thing, how can it be the turn of a slave and a rough girl? ”
This makes perfect sense.
You must know that in front of the old lady, there are a total of four first-class girls, Mei Ying, Mei Qing, Mei Hua, Mei Juan, and eight second-class girls...... What's more, although Nie Caiyue is not usually favored, she is indeed Miss Nie Mansion......
Hearing this, everyone probably understood what was going on - it's just that everyone didn't expect that this young lady would dare to be bold, and even the people in the old lady's room would dare to frame her.
Nie Caiyue's face suddenly turned pale. Her body shook slightly, as if she wanted to fall. Jiang'er on one side hurriedly stepped forward to help her, Nie Caiyue clenched her palms and slowly stood up straight.
Nie Caiyue saluted the old lady and said, "Taijun, my granddaughter has a few questions I want to ask Xiao Xiu, and I hope the old lady can answer......
The old lady's face was very ugly, and she said lightly: "This is a matter between your sisters, if it is really you who did it, you can admit it, why bother with all these twists and turns?" ”
Looking at what the old lady meant, she actually thought that Nie Caiyue did it?
Nie Caiyue turned pale and said: "Back to the words of the old lady, although the granddaughter is not talented, she is also the daughter of the Nie Mansion, and daring to act is a teaching she has received since she was a child...... If it was really done by Cai Yue, Cai Yue would naturally not deny it, but if it was not done by Cai Yue, Cai Yue would not have ruined his reputation in vain. ”
Mrs. Nie straightened up and said to Nie Taijun: "Old Taijun, today is your big day, your children and grandchildren have such a thing, and the concubine is also guilty of lax teaching, and I hope that Taijun can agree to bring this little repair back, and ask clearly, what is going on......
Mrs. Nie said, glancing at Xiao Xiu, Xiao Xiu's eyes flashed in a panic, and then lowered her head.
Before the old lady could speak, Aunt Yue on one side had already spoken lightly: "Madame means that you are more wise than the old lady?" This old lady has already asked things clearly, so why bother with more twists and turns...... According to the concubine, this should be what Xiao Xiu said...... The second lady took the ointment and wiped it on the eldest lady, and the eldest lady became like this, it was clear that the second lady intended to murder the eldest lady......"
As soon as Nie Xiangxiu, who was on the side, heard Aunt Yue's words, she immediately hid her face and made a sad gesture: "Second sister, my sister treats you well on weekdays, why do you treat your sister like this...... Although my sister is a concubine, and your status is not as noble as your sister, you and I belong to the children of Nie Mansion, and we are born from the same root, so why be in a hurry to fry each other......"
Mrs. Nie listened to the words of the two of them singing and singing, and she was immediately angry. However, she knew even more that this was a matter related to Nie Caiyue's reputation, and she must not get angry, let alone guide things in a worse direction. Because, if she is a little careless, not only may she not be able to help Nie Caiyue, but even she herself will be in trouble.
Nie Caiyue stopped her mother with her eyes, she pursed her lips, took two steps forward, bowed deeply to the old Taijun, and said: "Taijun, the granddaughter only wants to ask Xiao Xiu a few words, if she can't ask any result, she is willing to accept Taijun's sanctions." ”
The old lady raised her head and glanced at Nie Caiyue, just touching the other party's persistent, stubborn, unyielding, and even angry eyes. The eyes were as fierce as fire, full of a woman's grievances and anger. and inexplicable heartache. That look was very similar to the awe-inspiring and killing of a general who was about to kill the enemy with a sword.
It was that kind of look that made the old lady's heart suddenly move. She suddenly remembered herself when she was a teenager, those years of killing that had been lost.
The old lady suddenly raised her hand and said lightly: "If you have anything to say, just ask." ”
The court was wide and everyone was watching, Nie Caiyue naturally couldn't move anything, even if she asked, the old lady was not afraid at all.
And when Xiao Xiu heard that Nie Caiyue was actually going to ask himself, he panicked and didn't know what to do. She subconsciously took two steps back, as if she wanted to avoid Nie Caiyue's gaze.
Nie Caiyue took two steps forward, looked at Xiao Xiu, and said with some heartache: "Xiao Xiu, why are you deceiving Taijun...... Obviously, when I saw you today, you were still wearing this dress, and your hair was still combed like this...... I knew it was you, how could I admit my mistake? ”
Xiao Xiu looked at Nie Caiyue, shook his head a little flusteredly, and said, "No...... Miss, you must have recognized the wrong person...... Because the slave's clothes were soiled by Aunt Zhang in the kitchen, although she changed her set...... The slave and maid were definitely not wearing this dress this morning...... Besides, although the slave maid doesn't know why the second lady insists that it was the medicine sent by the slave maid, but Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li in the kitchen can testify, and the slave and maid have been helping Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li in the kitchen to watch the fire and chop vegetables, and they really haven't left the kitchen for half a step. ”
Looking at Xiao Xiu's appearance, her face was so anxious that her face was red, and she seemed to have a hammer on her head, and anyone who saw it felt that she was very innocent and pitiful, and she was completely like a little girl who was persecuted by her master.
