A maid drowned inexplicably, and found the ornaments of Miss Fuchu in the well.

Originally, it was just a trivial matter in the family of a rich and noble family, because a hairpin suddenly became unusual. Naturally, the housewife in the house was alarmed, and Wei Nu'er was also taken directly from the backyard to Ripple Garden by Lu Yuebai. Everything seems to be in place, one after the other without loopholes. But the time is so tight and the nodes are pinched well, of course the slave understands that this is a game set up by Li Yuzhi.

She was not flustered, and her face was calm and breezy. Standing quietly on one side, unmoved, looking very docile.

Li Yuzhi sat at the top and blew the hot tea unhurriedly. The entire Ripple Garden fell into an eerie silence. Before Li Yuzhi spoke, everyone held their breath, leaving only Qiulan's low sobs. After about a cup of tea, Lu Zhi's concubines arrived one after another. Among them, there is a weak-shouldered willow waist, whose body resembles a soft willow, and her delicate posture is like a beauty who has walked out of the painting. This should be Lu Zhi's new favorite, the beauty of the rain brought back from the south a year ago, Nie's.

"Everyone's together." Li Yuzhi put down the teacup, straightened his sleeves, and said with a majestic voice, "You must have heard of what happened in the backyard today. Originally, the death of a maid was mostly because she had something she couldn't figure out, but the second girl ordered someone to fish this out of the well, and things were not so simple. ”

The picture screen presented the silver hairpin with Li Yuzhi's meaning, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

At this time, someone hesitated, "The concubine remembers that when the general returned from a foreign campaign, he gave a hairpin to Aunt Wei. Looking at this now, I feel very familiar, like Aunt Wei's...... Old things. ”

The speaker is the old man Jiang in the house, Jiang was originally a maid who served by Lu Zhi's side when he was a child, and he made a room when Lu Zhi had not yet married a wife, and later became an aunt and became a concubine. She is Lu Zhi's first woman, and she has been by Lu Zhi's side for many years, and even the name Wen Yu was given to her by Lu Zhi himself, from the Book of Poetry: A gentleman of words, Wen Qi is like jade. So she is a concubine, and she is different in Lu Zhi's heart. In addition, she has an indisputable temperament and is not favored, so Li Yuzhi can tolerate her.

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally she fell silent. She suddenly realized that this was a game, and knew that if she continued to talk about it, the late Wei's daughter would be killed. She doesn't want to do evil, but she can't stop it, so she has always avoided people like Li Yuzhi.

"Oh? Really? Li Yuzhi took over the conversation, his eyes staring at Wei Nu'er, "We are all familiar with this hairpin, what do the four girls have to say?" ”

Nu'er pretended to be frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and explained, "Nu'er does have an magnolia hairpin, and it is indeed a relic of her biological mother." But because it is a relic of his biological mother, the slave never acts rashly, and has always collected it well. Her panicked appearance looked more like a weak heart. How could Lu Yuebai let go of this great opportunity, she sneered and said loudly, "Since the fourth sister said that she had collected the things, it would be better for my mother to send someone to Xiaoliu'an to take a look at the hairpin, whether it was there or not." In this way, it is good that the fourth sister is innocent. ”

The slave lowered his eyes, looked uneasy, and buried his head even lower. She spoke, her voice trembling slightly, "The slave is only twelve years old this year, how could he do such a vicious thing." If the eldest lady really sent someone to Xiaoliu'an, wouldn't she tell everyone that the slave was an evil master who was accused of killing slaves? What's more, the slave has been serving in Shude Garden for the past few days, how can he be involved with the people of Ripple Garden? I have no grievances with that maid, so why should I harm her? ”

The fourth sister said that she was wrong. The search of Xiaoyanagian is to restore your innocence, how did you become a slave-killing evil master? I, as a sister, are also dedicated to your good. How can you misinterpret what your sister meant? What's more—" Lu Yuebai pulled a long tail note and pretended to be unintentional, "My sister has only been back from Muzi Village for two years, and the relationship between mother and daughter, between sisters, is not as deep as the sisters next to us. In fact, when my mother sent my sister to Muzi Village to raise her, it was also for the health of my father and the general's mansion, so that my sister suffered. ”

When Wei Fuliu died, the slave became an orphan who no one cared about and no one wanted. Li Yuzhi hated the Wei family, left Wei Nu'er to torture for a year, and sent her to Muzi Village in the countryside for foster care on the grounds that she was ominous. After two years, in order to show her generosity and benevolence, she sent someone to take the slave back to the house. Lu Yuebai's story is revisited, but she wants to find a reason for the slave to kill the evil servant, it is nothing more than to say that the slave resents Li Yuzhi for sending her to the countryside and deliberately retaliates.

When everyone was paying attention to the slave, Nie secretly called the personal maid and whispered a few words to the maid, and the maid quietly retreated.

The standoff continues.

"Second sister, it's not too late, but it's also a child. Since childhood, what my mother taught was also benevolence, virtue and benevolence, why did she have that dirty mind. In the two years I was in Muzi Village, most of the villagers there were simple and kind, and they treated me very well, so why should the slaves complain. The meaning of the second sister is already known to the slave. But Nu'er has never done anything hurtful. If the second sister really wants to wronged the slave like this, the slave will only have it. The slave plucked a silver hairpin from his head and put it on his neck. Although the words were said to Lu Yuebai, she looked up at Li Yuzhi, "The slave can only die to prove his innocence!" ”

Li Yuzhi hated that the slave really committed suicide, it was good to die, no one could blame a basin of dirty water splashed over, and it also made her feel much more at ease. But she stood up with a frightened look on her face and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "My good daughter, what are you doing here?" What do we have to say, my mother promised you that even if you did something wrong, I will never blame you, okay? ”

"If a slave wants to prove his innocence, he can only die!" The slave bit her mouth slightly, as if she was extremely aggrieved, and her tearful appearance was really cute. The force on her hand increased slightly, and the silver hairpin gently pierced her skin, oozing a little blood. is very much like the wronged Dou E.

At this time, everyone only heard a majestic voice, "What are you doing!" ”

Everyone turned around, and it was Lu Zhi standing at the door, and they were all a little stunned. Li Yuzhi was the first to react, she hurriedly stepped forward, "Why is the general here?" She looked at Wei Nu'er, who was kneeling on the ground and holding a hairpin against her neck, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and explained, "The fourth girl is young and willful, and I am afraid that she has been wronged and can't think about it." ”

Lu Zhi turned his gaze to the slave, he was still standing in front of her like that, she was kneeling, he was standing, looking high. She was in Shude Garden these days, she followed Qiu Lan and never got to see Lu Zhi. It seems that every time they meet, he has a cold gaze, and there is no warmth as a father. In his eyes, he was probably nothing, or just a child born to him by a woman who was unfaithful to him.

"Say, what's going on?"

Wei Nu'er lowered her head slowly, a tear fell from the corner of her eye, and she said the whole thing one by one. Lu Zhi frowned slightly after hearing this, his mouth pursed slightly, and he looked very serious and stereotyped. At this time, Nie stepped forward with small steps, and said softly, "General, the fourth lady is the young lady of the house after all, you can't assert it at will, you still have to examine it carefully, so as not to wronged a good person." ”

Lu Zhi glanced at Nie Shi, and then at the blood stains and tear-stained eyes on the slave's neck, and his heart couldn't help but move. He has always known that she has a strong temperament, but now this aggrieved appearance reminds people of her mother, a woman who is weak everywhere but extremely tough in her bones. With the death of Wei Fuliu and the passage of time, he missed her far more than he hated her at the beginning.

He thought for a moment, and said, "Since it is innocent, I will not ask anyone to search for it, so you will call your maid to fetch the silver hairpin." After the confrontation, the truth is known. ”

The slave's hand holding the silver hairpin was slowly lowered, and she nodded, "Then I asked my father to send someone to ask Bai Shuang to bring the silver hairpin." ”

Lu Zhi nodded, and someone immediately went to Xiaoliu'an, he walked in front of the slave with an expressionless face and sat in front, and glanced at the slave with disgust, "Wang Fu, find a doctor and stop her blood, so as not to be unlucky." ”

Li Yuzhi's hand holding the handkerchief tightened slightly, and he smiled on his face to apologize, but his eyes were cold, "It's the concubine's negligence." ”

I can't tell you how I feel, it's a little stuffy, it's a little painful. The slave knelt on the ground and let the doctor wrap a cloth belt around her. Her nails dug deep into her flesh, struggling to restrain her emotions until she walked in with an old wooden box in her white hands. Nu'er said in a hoarse voice, "The hairpin is inside, and in the past, Liniang regarded it as a treasure, and before she died, she gave it to Nu'er to treasure it." Although the father opens the box, he will know the mother's intentions, and he will understand that the slave is innocent. ”

Li Yuzhi and Lu Yuebai glanced at each other, they had already ordered Bi Lan to steal the hairpin, of course this box was an empty box. Rao knew the final result, but Wei Nu'er mentioned her mother in front of herself and the general, and even mentioned her mother's deep affection for the general, and couldn't help but make Li Yuzhi secretly hate: Everyone is dead, what can you do if you mention it again? Lonely ghosts, do you dare to come back and compete with her for favor?

However, the slave's words were right in Lu Zhi's heart, and his eyes became less serious, but revealed a kind of tenderness, a little tenderness. He took the wooden box from his white hands, and with the flip of the switch slightly, the hearts of the crowd hung up with his movements.

The wooden box made a slight "click", and Li Yuzhi stood up suddenly, shocked in his heart.

How could it be!

How can it be?

That's right, the silver hairpin is lying safely in the box.

The slave covered her neck and looked at Li Yuzhi, her eyes meeting her.
