As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, as if they had been doused with cold water, they trembled, and Mrs. Bai also frowned, what Bai Mujin said was true, since ancient times, titles have been passed down from generation to generation, Bai Muchen has taken up both, he is the most noble, why bother with Bai Gaoxuan's calculations, and Lu Xiang is already going to recommend him to Dongfang Xuan as an apprentice, so the future is just around the corner!

Who would be stupid enough to do such a thing that would do no harm to themselves at this juncture, if it was said that the Lu family framed Bai Muchen, it would still be reasonable, and her suspicious eyes finally swept towards the Lu family and Bai Gaoxuan.

Lu's heart was shocked, she didn't expect Bai Mujian to be so sharp-toothed, and a few words reversed the situation, she would never allow herself to plan painstakingly, so she wiped her tears and said, "Hey...... Speaking of it, it's all the fault of the concubine's body, the last time I was in Xiangguo Temple, I almost ruined Jin'er's reputation, but it was also an unintentional mistake, I and Xi'er were punished, Jin'er, if you really hate and poison me, just come at me, why bother with Xuan'er, he is innocent! ”

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Bai Hibiscus's body, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Bai Hibiscus and the Lu family were at odds, and the contradiction was already very deep, but many people died for this, but I didn't expect that the eldest lady was not a vegetarian, and she actually learned to fight back.

Where can Bai Mu Hibiscus tolerate them splashing dirty water over, and if they don't fight back, they see that the time is almost up, so they said: "Grandmother, father, since Xiao Lu insisted that it was me and Chen'er who instructed her, can you allow Jin'er to ask her a few words, you can't even give us a chance to defend yourself, right?" ”

Looking at Bai Hibiscus's calm and unhurried look, Old Lady Bai suddenly calmed down, although Lu's words made some sense, but she still chose to believe Bai Hibiscus, after all, Bai Hibiscus would not be stupid enough to take revenge on Chen'er's future and destroy the Great Wall, which is too stupid.

Old Madam Bai nodded, ignoring Bai Shizu's cold face, and said, "Naturally, your father is not an unreasonable person, how could he convict his own children indiscriminately!" ”

Since Old Madam Bai said this, Bai Shizu naturally couldn't say anything, and the Lu family didn't dare to refute, just thinking that even if Bai Mujin was full of mouths, he couldn't excuse himself this time, and she asked Xiao Lu and Ming Chong to play this play, just to make the current identification more convincing.

Bai Mu Hibiscus approached Xiao Lu and asked calmly, "You said that you gave the book to Ming Chong, have you ever seen what that book looks like?" ”

Xiao Lu thought for a while, and then replied: "No, at that time, the eldest young master didn't let the slave and maid see it, saying that it would be no good for the slave and maid, and the slave didn't dare to go against the will of the eldest young master, so he only gave it to Ming Chong with the cloth of the book!" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus turned to ask again: "Ming Chong, when you got the book, you can see that the book is wrapped in cloth?" ”

"Yes, it's wrapped in a piece of flower cloth, and the slave remembers it clearly!" Ming Chong immediately replied, swearing that he was true.

Bai Hibiscus then asked, "Where is that cloth now?" ”

"This ...... After the minion took out the book, he threw the cloth away! "Ming Chong has never seen the cloth of the book, so naturally he doesn't know where the cloth is.

Bai Hibiscus glanced at the mandarin duck, the mandarin duck took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve, Bai Hibiscus took it, and asked, "Look at it, is it this one?" ”

Ming Chong glanced at it, looked at Xiao Lu for a while, and saw Xiao Lu nodding slightly, so he said affirmatively: "Yes, this is it!" ”

"Are you sure?" Bai Mu Hibiscus asked solemnly.

Ming Chong nodded resolutely and said, "The slave must be this piece, it was given to me by Xiao Lu himself, and I still remember the pattern on it, it is this kind of flower!" ”

Bai Shizu looked at Bai Hibiscus for some reason and asked, "What are you doing?" Is this cloth that important? Don't be pretentious, do you still want to deny it? ”

"Father, I don't want to deny it, I just want to prove it to Chen'er and myself, we have never instructed Xiao Lu to frame Brother Xuan!" Bai Mu Hibiscus was honest in his words, completely ignoring Bai Shizu's questioning and anger.

Bai Shizu was pushed up, and he also felt that he was a little wrong, so he could only snort coldly: "I'll see what you can toss!" ”

Lu didn't care, it was just a piece of cloth, could Bai Hibiscus still prove that the cloth was his own? But when she looked at the cloth again, her eyes showed panic.

Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled at her, as if confirming Lu's thoughts, and said, "This is what I found by accident, maybe it was lost by Ming Chong, but grandmother, please take a closer look at this cloth, does it feel familiar?" ”

Bai Mujin presented the cloth to Mrs. Bai and asked her to identify it, Mrs. Bai looked at this cloth, and she couldn't figure out for a while, or Grandma Sun's eyes were sharp, and she immediately shouted: "Isn't this the cloth that Grandpa brought back last time?" The slave still remembers that it was a festival gift issued by the Ministry of Works, and there were only two horses, and one was given to the old lady at that time, and the old lady has not used it yet, and it has been placed in the warehouse! ”

In this way, Mrs. Bai and Bai Shizu also remembered that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was such a piece of cloth in the festival ceremony issued by the Ministry of Industry, although the material was not top-notch, but only a few officials with excellent annual evaluations got it, which was also a reward, so Bai Shizu still happily sent it to the old lady at that time.

Bai Shizu asked suspiciously, "So what?" ”

"Father, didn't you get only two horses? One for the grandmother, and the other for the grandmother, to whom did you give it? Bai Mu Hibiscus asked slowly, as if guiding Bai Shizu to recall.

Bai Shizu glanced at the Lu clan and asked, "There is another one, isn't it with you?" ”

"Yes...... It's here in the concubine's body, but ...... But ......" Lu panicked for a while, and couldn't find any reason to shirk it, after all, she had already used this cloth, and she still made clothes for herself, and this scrap was not used at that time, so she threw it in the cloth basket at random, and when she was wrapping the book, she didn't care, so she handed it to Xiao Lu.

Old Madam Bai's eyes looked sharply at the Lu family, and she had already seen the matter in her heart, but she didn't expect that it was Lu's trick in the end, and she once thought that it was really Bai Mu Hibiscus who was attacking from behind and wanted to frame Bai Gaoxuan!

Bai Shizu didn't want to believe in the Lu family's troublemakers like this, so he asked, "Did you give this cloth to others?" Or did someone steal the cloth while you weren't looking? ”

When Lu Shi heard this, he immediately said: "Yes, I like that cloth very much, so I ordered the sewing room to cut it and make a dress, and I haven't had time to wear it, and the leftover scraps, the concubine doesn't know where it went!" ”

Bai Muhibiscus had expected Bai Shizu's partiality, so he continued: "Grandma Sun, can you smell the smell of this cloth again, is there anything special?" ”

When Grandma Sun heard this, she picked up the cloth, got closer and sniffed it carefully, and said: "There seems to be a smell of rose dew on this cloth, it's really strange, how can the people in the sewing room afford to use the rose dew, and the fragrance of this rose dew is not so long-lasting, it should be dispersed in two or three days!" ”

Bai Mujin smiled, and then said: "As Grandma Sun said, if this cloth has not been exposed to rose dew for a few days, there will definitely not be a residual fragrance, and as far as I know, the only people in the house who use rose dew are my mother and sister Xi'er, Xi'er is not in the house now, who owns this cloth, I don't need to say, right?" ”

Lu looked at Bai Hibiscus, and his heart was filled with a thousand wisps of hatred, and he wanted to step forward and smash her face, but she couldn't. And the eyes of the whole room were focused on Lu's body, with suspicion, disdain, sarcasm, and schadenfreude.

Lu Shi took a deep breath and shouted, "Mama Du, tell me, what's going on?" Why do the broken steps in my room fall out? ”

Mama Du swallowed her saliva, she didn't expect that Madame would push herself out at such a time, she naturally couldn't be a scapegoat, so she quickly knelt down and said tremblingly: "The needlework has always been taken care of by Yingqiu, and the slave really doesn't know!" ”

Yingqiu saw that the matter had fallen on her head, and she hurriedly knelt down and defended: "The slave doesn't know, how can this cloth flow out, maybe, maybe someone deliberately stole it!" ”

Bai Mujian shook his head, looked at a few people with amusement, and said, "Chen'er and I have the intention to harm Brother Xuan, and we have to bother to go to our mother's room to steal a rag, are we all stupid?" ”

Not only Bai Mujian and Bai Muchen are not fools, but everyone here is not stupid, not waiting for others to speak, Mu Xinping, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, and her delicate voice made the tense atmosphere in the room also relaxed, and said, "Hehe...... It's true, Jin'er and Chen'er won't be so stupid if they think about it, just take an ordinary piece of cloth and go to the lady's room to steal the cloth, if someone finds out, isn't it to arouse suspicion? ”

Bai Shizu originally wanted to favor the Lu family, but as soon as he heard Mu Xinping's words, he immediately felt reasonable, glanced at Mu Xinping, and read the strong affection from her shy and timid eyes, and his heart moved, and he said: "What Xinping said is reasonable, no one will go to such great lengths!" ”

Seeing this, Lu Shi had an idea, looked at Xiao Lu, and asked, "Are you sure it's this cloth, you can see it clearly, is it?" ”

Seeing Lu's eyes, Xiao Lu hesitated, as if he couldn't remember clearly, thought about it carefully, and said: "No, it shouldn't be, it's a little similar to this cloth, but it's definitely not this cloth, it must be Ming Chong's mistake!" ”

Ming Chong also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, it's the slave who remembers it wrongly, it doesn't seem to be this cloth, it's just a little like!" ”

Bai Mujian smiled secretly, and now he unanimously recanted his previous confession, which is a little late, so he said: "Look more carefully, I just put the cloth in front of your eyes for a long time, and you still swear that it is this cloth, are you sure you have really read a book wrapped in cloth?" ”

Ming Chong was a little frightened by Bai Hibiscus's aggressive eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stammered: "Yes...... Be...... The minion didn't see it clearly just now, and the minion misremembered......"

"Jin'er, why are you persecuting Ming Chong and Xiao Lu so much, it's just a piece of cloth, they are also wrong, do you have to put the blame on your mother to be happy?" Lu asked in a raised voice, obviously dissatisfied with Bai Hibiscus's behavior.

Bai Shizu was partial to the Lu family, felt that he wanted to marry a wife, felt guilty about her, and couldn't bear to let her be wronged, so he said: "Your mother is right, why be aggressive for a piece of cloth!" ”
