Seeing her daughter crying with pear blossoms and rain, Mrs. couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Okay, okay, your second sister hasn't come to me to cry yet, you cried first," Mrs. said a little funny while wiping Qi Pan's tears.

"Xiaoyu, you're here, what's going on, your sister cried as soon as she came, and she didn't speak when she asked?" , Mrs. raised her eyes and saw Xiaoyu walking in, and hurriedly asked.

Seeing that Qi Pan hadn't even taken off his cloak, Xiao Yu lay on his wife's lap and cried, and his heart was also very moved. Her sister is really sincere to herself, and she has never despised her because of Xiaoyu's background.

Now Qi Pan sees that Xiaoyu is wronged is even more uncomfortable than she is wronged, no wonder her sister doesn't want to go to that Huanxue Club, she has suffered a lot of such grievances on weekdays, she can't bear to say it at a young age.

Immediately Qi Pan secretly blamed himself, he treated Xiaoyu like a sister, and now it seems that his eldest sister is still too derelict in her duties, and she doesn't even know that her subordinates despise Xiaoyu so much.

Thinking of this, she raised her tearful face and said pitifully to Xiaoyu: "Second sister, I'm sorry for you, my sister didn't do a good job!" After speaking, a pair of big eyes blinked and blinked.

Xiao Yu thought that this classical beauty was really so moving when she cried, and she smiled and persuaded Qi Pan: "Big sister, okay, okay, I don't feel wronged, hurry up and see how my mother sent these not-so-long mothers-in-law!" ”

Xiaoyu helped Qi Pan up, and motioned for Bai Shao to come over and untie Qi Pan's cloak. Qi Pan cried a little bit just now, and after getting up, he lowered his head and sat next to his wife.

Madame looked at the two mothers-in-law kneeling on the ground and said, "Zi Yan, you take this mother-in-law to the corridor outside first, and I will call in later." Send someone to call the princess here", the lady casually pointed to a mother-in-law.

"Tell me, what's going on today?" The lady said casually with a teacup. Zi Yu hurriedly walked to Madame's side and whispered what had happened. As she listened, the lady swept around the woman with her sharp gaze, and the woman shrank more and more.

"You have to be truthful, and if there is a discrepancy between the two of you later, then there will be nothing to say!" The lady glanced at the woman and took a sip of tea.

"Yes, yes, the slave must tell the truth, and dare not say half a lie!" , Saying, the mother-in-law will be 1510 how the little girl will speak, how the mother-in-law will reply to the words are detailed and detailed, and the lady repeatedly interrogated the time, place, tone, expression and other details of the mother-in-law's speech, and the mother-in-law said no difference several times.

"Okay, you kneel to the side, Zi Yan, go and call that woman in!" The mother-in-law walked in with a wince, and couldn't stop glancing at the mother-in-law kneeling on the side.

"Look east and west to see what, don't hurry up and kneel!" Zi Yan shouted in a low voice. The woman threw herself on her knees and shouted injustices in her mouth.

Madame put the tea bowl on the table and said, "Okay, don't shout, hurry up and tell the truth about the matter, I have my own judgment!" The woman glanced at her kneeling companion a few more times, and then spoke out loud in her heart.

What she said was much the same as her previous mother-in-law, and after Mrs. repeatedly interrogated her in the details, Fang nodded: "You two have said the same, so it can be seen that the situation is true!" ”

One of the mothers-in-law took two steps forward and kowtowed twice: "Madame, that mother-in-law usually loves to ask for money, if it is those mothers-in-law who often honor her, in snowy weather like today, she will arrange to bake a fire in the sedan room, and like the two of us who are unwilling to please and flatter her, there is always only to do these jobs that no one wants to do!" ”

The lady glanced at the two mothers-in-law and said, "You two kneel on the side first, and when the princess comes, see what she says!" “

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a big waist walked in, and there were two suspicious lumps of red on her round and fat face.

"Madame. Madame doesn't know how to call a slave.... The slave and the maid have... What... What's the matter? With the words of Mrs. Wang, a strong smell of wine came to her nose.

Madame covered her mouth and nose, frowned at Mother Zhou, and said, "Don't sober up this old slave yet!" Zhou's mother turned around and called a mother-in-law to bring in a bucket of water, and it was splashed on the head of Mrs. Wang.

She looked at her wife, and then at the two mothers-in-law kneeling next to her, and suddenly fell to the ground and cried: "Madame, Madam, the slave and maid are wronged!" Treat unjustly! As soon as the princess came in and saw the two mothers-in-law kneeling on the ground, her face changed, and she knelt on the ground and shouted injustice again and again.

Madame listened to her pig-like voice, and laughed instead of anger: "Okay, you princess, as soon as you come, you will shout injustice, let me ask you, what kind of injustice are you shouting?" Who wronged you? Well?! ”

The princess was speechless for a while, she just walked in and found that the atmosphere was not quite right, and instinctively felt that the situation was not good, so she shouted injustice, how did she know what she had done.

The lady put the tea bowl on the table heavily, and said to Mrs. Wang: "You old slave, you have a good life, and you are still drunk at this time." You don't know what you've done, do you? First, you do not distinguish between humility and disrespect for your master. Second, you form gangs and demand filial piety; Third, you drink during the day and delay things! ”

"Mother Zhou, go, you take two people to the princess's room to check it!" Madame turned to Mother Zhou and ordered. As soon as Mrs. Wang heard what Mrs. said, she immediately collapsed to the ground, and just shouted like a pig.

Madame didn't bother to pay attention to her, and turned to the two mothers-in-law and asked, "Which of you two was the first to tell the truth?" ”

A thin mother-in-law replied tremblingly: "Mrs. Hui, it's a slave!" ”

The lady looked at her a few times and asked, "Who is your husband's family?" “

The woman bowed her head and knelt on the ground and replied, "The slave and maid belong to the Zhao family!" “

"Oh, but the Zhao Da who takes care of the flowers and trees?"

"Mrs. Hui, it's a clumsy husband." , Mrs. nodded and said: "No wonder I see that you are a little familiar, you are a real person, you serve the flowers and trees well, and the ink chrysanthemum that was urged to open during the Double Ninth Festival even praised the mothers in the palace!" “

The woman hurriedly said: "These are all as they should be, as long as the lady likes it!" “

The lady groaned for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, you will accept the errand of this princess!" After speaking, Zi Yuan stepped forward to Mrs. Wang's waist and tore off the key to the sedan room and handed it to Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao heard that she had taken on an errand, and kowtowed with joy, "Thank you, madam, thank you two young ladies!" “

Madame waved her hand and said, "You two hurry down, send another warm sedan chair over, it will be useful for the two young ladies to return to the yard later!" The two mothers-in-law hurriedly got up and took the order.

"Why didn't my mother wait for the real evidence to convict the princess?" , Qi Pan asked with some confusion.

"You see that the two mothers-in-law said the right thing when they were questioned separately, and the details are not much different, which shows that they are telling the truth, if it is a fabricated lie, it will not be the same for both of them! Besides, I'm not here to decide the case by the government, we just need to know it in our hearts, and we don't need conclusive evidence! Mrs. took the opportunity to tell Qi Pan and Xiaoyu a lot of ways to govern the family.

The three of them were talking, and Zhou's mother came back with two mothers-in-law to resume their lives, and the two mothers-in-law carried a basket, and there were all kinds of miscellaneous bits and pieces in the basket.

Mother Zhou took out a small cloth bag from her arms, stepped forward and presented it to Madame, "Madam, please look, these are all found by slaves and maids from the residence of Mrs. Wang!" When Mrs. Wang saw the contents of the basket, she trembled, and simply rolled her eyes and fainted.

Madame asked Zi Yan to pick out the things in the basket one by one, and the more she looked at it, the more angry she became.

"Didn't this gold-rimmed cup be taken out from the previous banquet, and this old slave actually hid one! There is also this glass interstitial, I remember that Zi Yan still found the furnishings that changed the scene before, but I didn't expect it to be stolen by this old minion! Madame said as she flipped through the cloth bag with her hand.

There were some pieces of silver in the bag, and a few silver tickets. Madame looked at it and was furious: "This old slave only has a month's money, and these silver bills are worth her monthly money for more than half a year, where did she get so much silver?!" ”

Madame was so angry that she smashed the tea bowl on Mrs. Wang's body at once, but Rao didn't wake up the fainting Mrs. Wang.

"Go and call Chen's mother, who is in charge of the small warehouse, I remember that this glass insert has always been stored in the small warehouse, how did it get into the hands of this old minion?".

After a while, Chen's mother arrived. This Chen's mother is in her thirties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she looks like a stable person. When she saw the princess fainting on the ground, her face turned gray and white.

Mother Chen trembled and knelt on the ground and cried: "Madame's life, Madame's mercy!" The lady pointed to the things in the basket with a gloomy face and said, "What's the matter with those things, you still haven't recruited them from the truth?" Chen's mother snorted and cried, and told the cause and effect.

It turned out that Chen's mother had a good relationship with Mrs. Wang in the past, and since last year, Mrs. Wang invited Mrs. Chen to gamble with her when she was free. At first, Chen's mother won a lot, but slowly her luck deteriorated.

Originally, Chen's mother lost some money and wanted to stop, but she couldn't stand the instigation of Mrs. Wang to gamble every day, and finally gambled more and more, and borrowed a lot of money from underground banks.

A few months ago, the debtors blocked her door, and her man was so angry that he broke her leg and ordered her to find a way to pay off her gambling debts.

Just when she was desperate, Mrs. Wang gave her an idea. There are a lot of furnishings and silk in this small warehouse she manages, which are basically not used on weekdays, so Mrs. Wang asked her to find a way to steal a few things that are not commonly used, find a way to pawn the silver to pay off the debt, and then slowly find a way to redeem it in the future.
