Bai Mu Hibiscus nodded indifferently and said approvingly: "Since my father said so, Jin'er has nothing to say, but I still have something to ask Ming Chong!" ”

Bai Shizu knew that he was a little wrong, so he retreated in disgust, waiting for Bai Mujian to speak, he also wanted to know what else was hidden in this matter.

Bai Mujin looked at Ming Chong and asked, "Since you have opened the cloth, you must have seen the book, right?" ”

"The servant only glanced at the cover cursoryly, but did not open the book, so it was not considered to be a read, because he was nervous, so he hurriedly stuffed the book into the second young master's book bag!" Ming Chong learned to be smart this time, and deliberately said this, for fear that he would fall into the way of Bai Hibiscus again.

Bai Mu Hibiscus nodded, with some praise for Ming Chong in his eyes, and then said, "Is there anything special about that cover?" For example, what is the picture, whether the book is new or old, this should be able to tell, right? ”

Because Ming Chong really hadn't read that book, he couldn't answer, so he secretly glanced at Bai Gaoxuan with some embarrassment, as if he wanted Bai Gaoxuan to help, but at this time, Bai Gaoxuan didn't want to get involved at all, so he didn't see it at all.

Lu was also anxious in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to step forward and tell Ming Chong, but because so many people were present, it was difficult to speak, so he only hoped that Ming Chong could be smarter.

Ming Chong scratched his head, thought about it and thought about it, and was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead came out, and then said, "It seems to be ...... It seems that two villains are drawn, and the books are a little old, because the books in the second young master's bookbag are all half-old, so it is not easy to be seen! ”

Ming Chong thought that what he said was not leaking, but he didn't expect to fall into Bai Hibiscus's plan, Bai Mu Hibiscus looked out of the door, and then said: "Grandmother, father, because of the recent incident, Chen'er told me as soon as he came back, in order to confirm the truth of Chen'er's words, I specially invited Master Li, who taught in today's school, he is one of the witnesses, and is now waiting outside, why don't you ask him to come in and ask clearly, how about it?" ”

Bai Shizu didn't speak, but Old Madam Bai agreed first, and said, "Since Master Li is here, naturally I have to invite him in to talk, and I can ask what happened in the school today!" ”

"This ...... This is our family's housekeeping, I'm afraid it's not okay for an outsider to come? I'm afraid that there will be words that are not good for our Ningguo Mansion at that time! The Lu family hurriedly wanted to stop it, she was afraid that Li Fuzi would say something unfavorable to Bai Gaoxuan.

Bai Mujin looked at the Lu family, and said to Old Madam Bai: "Master Li is an upright person, he has promised Jin'er, no matter what he sees in the mansion or what he hears, he will never spread it, he is a well-known upright person in Wenhua Academy, I believe he will never tell lies, nor will he spread rumors that are unfavorable to the Ningguo Mansion!" ”

Old Madam Bai also heard of Master Li, and being able to be a master in Wenhua Academy is definitely not a small person with a broken mouth, so she said: "Please come in, I still believe in Master Li's personality!" ”

Old Madam Bai has spoken, Bai Shizu can't have any objections, the Lu family can only shut up obediently, but in his heart he can't give Bai Hibiscus a thousand knives.

Li Fuzi walked in under the guidance of the magpie and greeted Bai Shizu and Mrs. Bai, Bai Shizu was still more measured in front of outsiders, and hurriedly invited Li Shizi to sit down.

Only Mrs. Bai was the oldest of the people present, so she asked first: "Master Li, the two grandchildren have come back to talk about today's incident, but the two of them have their own opinions, can you ask the master to tell me the truth of the matter?" ”

Li Fuzi originally came because of this, so naturally he would not shirk, arched his hand to Mrs. Bai, and said: "This is the case, today I want to check the students' homework, so I asked them to take it out, and what fell out of Bai Gaoxuan's bookbag at that time was ...... It was a filthy beauty painting, he began to accuse Bai Muchen of planting the spost, but he couldn't tell the evidence, asked the two scholars, and said that they didn't know about it, and then Bai Gaoxuan admitted that he was going to use this book to blame Bai Muchen, but he didn't succeed, but accidentally got it into his bookbag, hey......"

Listening to Master Li's words, Bai Gaoxuan and Lu's faces turned pale in an instant, and Lu stood up angrily, pointed at Master Li's nose and scolded: "You old horseman, talking nonsense, what benefits did you say they gave you, and you actually coaxed you to frame my Xuan'er!" ”

Li Fuzi didn't expect to tell the truth, but he was scolded, his face turned red, his beard trembled, he stood up resentfully, and bowed his hand to Mrs. Bai and Bai Shizu, and said angrily: "This was originally a family affair of your Ningguo Mansion, but it happened in the academy, and the dean asked me to come over to explain the matter clearly, I didn't expect it to make people doubt my character, isn't this a bloody spurt, the old man has read the sage books, although he failed to enter the court as an official, but he also knows that etiquette, righteousness and shame, how can he do such a dirty thing?" Isn't it trying to damage my reputation and ruin the reputation of Wenhua College? ”

Li Fuzi had a humiliated expression on his face, and he wanted to leave now, but he promised when he came before, and he had to explain the matter clearly before leaving.

Old Madam Bai glared at the Lu clan fiercely and scolded, "You uninformed woman, who allows you to be rude in front of your master?" Don't give me back yet! ”

Although the Lu family is also a second-class edict, but in the end, it is a woman in the house, and a well-educated person like Li Fuzi is extremely respected, so humiliating a well-known master, I am afraid that I will be ridiculed if I say it, and it will reach the ears of the saint, Bai Shizu's official reputation is damaged, and it is not impossible to say that the emperor is not satisfied, and it is not impossible to take the title of the Bai family.

Bai Shizu also realized the seriousness of the problem, so he also glared at Lu and said, "Don't talk nonsense, woman's opinion!" ”

Then he bowed his hand to Li Fuzi and apologized: "Li Fuzi, the clumsy Jing woman is a Taoist family, she can't speak, you have a lot of forbearance, don't be like her!" ”

Li Fuzi snorted coldly, then reluctantly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, and said: "That's what I know, when I asked the two scholars, I kept saying that no one had approached each other's bookbags, and it was impossible to be replaced, I told Dean Wang, the dean ordered Bai Gaoxuan to withdraw from school for the reputation of the college, I came this time to inform Ning Guogong of this matter, and I hope Ning Guogong will make plans early!" ”

"What? The dean actually asked Xuan'er to drop out? Can this matter be discussed again, my Ningguo Mansion is willing to give 5,000 taels of silver to the college for running the school, and I also ask the dean to open up the net and make it lightly! As soon as he heard that Bai Gaoxuan was going to be expelled from school, Bai Shizu was not calm anymore, and hurriedly pleaded.

Li Fuzi shook his head, sighed and said: "Because the students in the same class have seen it, you also know that Wenhua Academy is mostly the children of nobles, and the influence of Ling Lang's matter is extremely bad, if it is not for the help of the dean to suppress it, I am afraid that it will spread all over the capital in less than half a day, and then the reputation of your mansion will be ruined, hey......"

Bai Shizu took a few steps back in a dejected manner, as if his legs couldn't support his body, but fortunately, the little guy next to him helped him, so he didn't lose his rudeness.

Old Madam Bai realized the seriousness of the matter, and now it was not only Bai Gaoxuan who was embarrassed, but even the Bai family was also disgraced, she was angry for a while, if it wasn't for Master Li's still being, she was afraid that she would be furious.

Li Fuzi took out a book wrapped in paper from his arms, handed it to Bai Shizu, and said: "This is the book that Ling Lang dropped today, and the dean also asked me to bring it over, so let's return it to you, I have finished what I should say, let me retire!" ”

Mrs. Bai asked Grandma Sun to pick up the book, and then said: "There is a master, please go back and do more, try to help cover up this matter, and there will be a good reward in Baifu in the future!" ”

Li Fuzi nodded, and arched his hand: "No need for the old lady to say, the academy will try its best to suppress this matter, after all, the academy is also a scandal, and the old man has retired!" ”

Old Madam Bai sent someone to send Master Li away again, only then did she look at Lu and Bai Gaoxuan coldly, and said in a gloomy voice: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Bai Gao Xuanse shrank for a moment, didn't dare to look up at people, only hid behind the Lu family, and the Lu family said stubbornly: "This matter is definitely not true, please don't believe the old lady's words, Xuan'er will never do such a thing!" ”

Bai Mujin stepped forward and said to Mrs. Bai: "Didn't Ming Chong just say that he had read this book, and also said that there were two villains on the cover of the book, and the book was half-old?" It's better for the old lady to see if this book is what Ming Chong said, so as to confirm whether Chen'er framed it! ”

Ming Chong saw that something was wrong, and immediately changed his words: "Minion, the minion forgot, the minion was nervous at the time, and he didn't see it clearly at all, so he didn't remember what the book looked like!" ”

"You said you don't remember? What should you remember about the color of the book's cover? Bai asked.

Ming Chong gritted his teeth, shook his head and said: "The slave doesn't remember anything, I was really scared at the time, where do I remember what the book is like!" ”

Without waiting for Bai Muhibiscus to speak, Wen Ze, who had been kneeling for a long time and had been silent for a long time, suddenly kowtowed and said: "It's not that Ming Chong doesn't remember, but he hasn't seen that book at all, he has been lying, because after the master asked the two slaves, he told me that he had carefully checked the second young master's bookbag the night before and found nothing abnormal!" ”

When Bai Mujian heard this, he was not as happy as everyone expected, but asked suspiciously, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"The slave didn't say it just now, because Ming Chong wouldn't admit it, if he hadn't been able to identify the appearance of the book, the old lady and grandfather wouldn't have believed what the slave said! Also, the slave has always followed the eldest young master's side, on weekdays, Xiao Lu is not as loyal to the eldest young master as she just said, on the contrary, the matter of the eldest young master, she will go to tell Mrs. in every detail, the young master's daily life has always been taken care of by the slave, she is just responsible for keeping an eye on the actions of the eldest young master, this is a matter known to everyone in Chenfeng Garden, Xiao Lu is the lady's person! Wen Ze told the truth expressionlessly, his eyes were calm and clear, and there was no trace of falsification.

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she only felt endless anger surging in her heart, and said sharply: "This cheap maid actually keeps saying that she is loyal to Chen'er, since you are loyal to him, why are you accusing him of murdering Xuan'er?" ”

Xiao Lu didn't expect Wen Ze to turn against him, he glanced at him in disbelief, kowtowed, and denied: "Old lady, you are Mingjian, the slave maid is not, it is Wen Ze who lies, the slave and maid are loyal to the eldest young master, and have never betrayed the master!" ”
