Ye Tanghua finally raised her head, but to everyone's surprise, there was no sadness, anger, fear and other expressions on her face that everyone thought she should have, but only a faint mockery.

She glanced around the crowd with that mocking gaze, and finally her eyes fell on Aunt Li: "Auntie is really a good means, but the day's work is so thoughtful, it seems that she has made up her mind to make me not turn over." ”

When Aunt Li heard this, she fell directly to the ground, crying more sadly, and the corners of her lips under the handkerchief were raised higher: "Miss, the slave maid really doesn't mean this, the slave maid has been persuading the old man to calm down, the slave and maid don't dare to blame the eldest lady, beg the eldest lady to calm her anger, if you want to blame, blame the slave and the maid alone, don't be angry with the second and third misses!" ”

Ye Yuanzhi glared at Ye Tanghua with disgust, and stepped forward to help Aunt Li up and hold her in his arms: "You don't have to make amends to this rebel girl, it's her own femme fatale and she doesn't repent, why do you have to tolerate her again and again!" ”

Ye Tanghua looked at the scene in front of her with a smile, and finally her eyes fell on Ye Mushi, whose face was uncertain, she lowered her eyes slightly, and the corners of her lips raised a touch of arc: "Father only listened to my aunt's words, and after reading the evidence of my aunt's alone, I want to convict Tanghua, don't you think it's too arbitrary?" ”

"If the evidence is conclusive, why not condemn you!" Ye Yuanzhi snorted coldly.

"Really? Tang Hua dared to ask her father, where is the evidence? The so-called evidence, but Jiasui's testimony plus Aunt Li's one-sided words, my father is so biased and biased, it can't help but make people feel cold, Tang Hua dares to ask his father, you are so arbitrary today, if Tang Hua can really prove his innocence, what should his father do? Ye Tanghua's gaze swept over Aunt Li's face, and then looked at Ye Yuanzhi, but finally fell on Jiasui.

Jiasui looked up at Ye Tanghua, she didn't know why she was a little flustered, she comforted herself not to be afraid, Aunt Li had already arranged everything, and even the four old wives who guarded Ye Tanghua had bought it out, and it must be foolproof today.

"Hmph, if you can prove your innocence, the Father will make amends to you personally! But if you can't prove it, you must not only confess your evil deeds yourself at the banquet, but also kowtow to your aunt and sisters! Ye Yuanzhi sneered and said proudly.

Ye Yunxiang and Ye Tanyou glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes, Aunt Li arranged it so thoughtfully, it was impossible for Ye Tanghua to turn over! Ye Tanghua has no second choice other than kowtowing to them to make amends, after today, see how Ye Tanghua can hold her head up in front of them!

Ye Tanghua smiled lightly, and a fierce color flashed between her eyes: "Okay, since that's the case, Tanghua will take out the evidence." Auntie, don't blame Tanghua for not covering up your evil deeds for you, although Tanghua intends to be tolerant, but you hurt me like this, and now I can't help it. Rain and smoke, come here! ”

Ye Tanghua said, and everyone found that there was a fresh face among the four little girls who followed Ye Tanghua today, Yuyan smiled slightly, and walked forward and knelt down: "Slave Yuyan, I have seen the master, the lady, the aunt, and the young lady." ”

Jiasui trembled, looking at Yuyan in surprise, although she felt that Yuyan shouldn't know what she was doing, but Yuyan had always been at odds with her, why did Ye Tanghua take Yuyan with her today? Does she really have any backhand? But it's impossible, when Aunt Li came to look for her, it was when Ye Tanghua was not at home, and the four old wives were bought again, so it was impossible for anyone to find out anything!

Ye Tanghua glanced at Jiasui indifferently: "Yuyan, say what you told me this morning here." ”

Yuyan nodded, glanced at Jiasui, and her eyebrows were full of triumph: "Yes, eldest miss." Not long after the eldest lady left yesterday, Aunt Li's side Chun Tao came over and called Jiasui away, Jiasui didn't take anything when she left, but after coming back, there was a small purse in her hand, full of boarding, looking bulging and heavy, the slave took advantage of the effort to tell her to work and pinched it, and found that it was full of silver! ”

Ye Tanghua snorted coldly: "Dare to ask my aunt, what are you going to do when you called the maid in my yard away yesterday and gave her a pile of silver?" Yesterday you called this girl away, and today this girl came out to identify what I sent her, why is it so coincidental? ”

Aunt Li pursed her lips, there was a moment of panic in her eyes, and it quickly disappeared again: "Miss, the slave just asked Jiasui to go over and talk, and wanted her to do an embroidery job, there are some copper coins in the purse, which are used to buy thread for this maid, and the slave maid has not given Jiasui any silver, it's this girl's nonsense!" ”

Ye Tanghua raised her eyebrows: "Really?" My aunt really didn't shed tears when she saw the coffin, in that case, Yuyan should take out the evidence. ”

Yuyan lowered his head and answered, smiled slightly, took out a silver ingot from his bosom and put it on the ground: "The slave maid felt that it was strange that Jiasui had a few more ingots of silver for no reason, so she took advantage of Jiasui's absence to take out a silver ingot or tael from the purse, and exchanged it for the silver given by the eldest lady. ”

Ye Tanghua lowered her eyes: "Auntie should have a number in her heart, the silver that Tanghua holds to reward people is made in Beijing, and the stamp on the top is 'made by the Jingfu Dao Governor', and the silver that the aunt took to reward people was brought back by Jiangnan, and the poke on the top is 'Jiangnan Dao Supervisor', the stamp on this silver can't be changed, this can't be Tanghua slandering you, right?" ”

Aunt Li froze, staring at the ingot of silver on the ground, her eyes were about to pop out, she took a deep breath, her eyes rolled and grabbed Ye Yuanzhi's sleeve, and sobbed: "Master, the concubine body has indeed not given Jiasui silver, this girl named Yuyan's brother is Song'er's long-term follower, this silver is not good enough for Song'er to reward her brother, she used it to frame the concubine, begging the lord to see!" ”

Ye Songjin hesitated a few times, and finally looked at Ye Tanghua with a frown: "You girl has always been cunning, it's hard to say whether she will stay behind, I'm afraid that I will order my maid to come out and perjury for herself!" ”

Yuyan's face was also a little pale, after all, she was a person who came back from Jiangnan, she still knew a little about Aunt Li, Aunt Li's words were invisibly reminding her that her brother was Ye Songjin's long-term follower, if she was disobedient, Aunt Li would never let her brother go.

Ye Tanghua glanced at Yuyan's pale face, and smiled coldly: "Auntie's hand is stretched long enough, even the brothers and sisters in my yard can open their mouths to come anywhere, since this is the case, but my aunt said that it is bad, there have always been people in my yard who watch the door, the people inside can't get out, the people outside can't come in, Yuyan's brother is a kid, just a maid, don't expect to enter the door if you don't pass the word, Yuyan wants to see her brother, unless it's under the nose of the janitor, if Daddy can't believe Tanghua, Just send the four mothers-in-law to ask, see if her brother has been here in the rain! ”

Aunt Li's face turned pale again, although she bought off the four mothers-in-law, but she just asked them to say that Yushui told Jiasui to go out and send a box of jewelry to her, but she didn't let them say that Yucheng had come, if she really asked, how could these four mothers-in-law say that it was not necessarily!

Ye Tanghua narrowed her eyes and sneered: "Tanghua has long instructed those four mothers-in-law to write down and report to me what everyone does when they go out every day, if they were told a few days ago, the people in the courtyard will not forget it so quickly!" ”

Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and remembered what Ye Tanghua had ordered a few days ago, and suddenly felt a little more confident, after all, the masters in the Ye Mansion only have the old lady and a few young masters and young masters, but there is no Aunt Li, even if Aunt Li wants to embarrass her brother, the eldest lady may not be able to protect him! With the eldest lady's temperament, maybe she will give her brother any grace!

Thinking like this, Yuyan became firm again: "Auntie doesn't need to climb this and that, my brother has always listened to your orders, didn't he inquire about the eldest lady on your orders a few days ago?" My brother didn't give me silver, but I gave him two taels of silver, he may not spend it so quickly, and the master may be able to turn it over now! At that time, the people in the courtyard were witnesses, and I was not afraid to say anything if I sat upright! ”

Aunt Li was so angry that she was half dead, this rain and smoke clearly heard the meaning of her words, and she dared to pretend not to understand? Could it be that she didn't even want her brother's life?

Thinking like this, Aunt Li's eyes also became fierce, and she looked at Yuyan with an angry face: "Enough! I really didn't expect you to dare to spew blood, seeing you like this, your brother must not be a good product, such a long follower, Song'er shouldn't want it! In the future, your brother will go wherever he likes, and you don't have to come to Song'er's side again! ”

Ye Tanghua glanced at Aunt Li lightly: "What Aunt said is really self-explanatory, who gave Aunt Auntie face and asked Auntie to point at the maid in my house and scold?" Isn't my aunt a slave? Open your mouth and close your mouth Song'er Song'er, which aunt in Beijing dares to call the young master's name? Do you still want to deal with the people around the young master? Auntie, this lord has also done too much! In front of the masters of the yard, my aunt wanted to turn the sky upside down! ”

"You are presumptuous! Although your aunt is not the main room, in the end she has added so many children to the family, how can you open your mouth and shut up as a slave, but a subordinate, if it falls, it will fall, what can I do! Ye Yuanzhi's face turned pale, but he still subconsciously defended Aunt Li.

Ye Tanghua looked at Aunt Li, who was hiding behind Ye Yuanzhi with a smug face, and then looked at Ye Mushi, who was silent and looked lost, and smiled slightly. Mother, this is the lover you obey gracefully, and this is the man you would rather not be the master of your daughter than please him!

She stood up indifferently, a little stumbling because she had been kneeling for a long time, Yuge hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

Ye Tanghua faced the aggressive Ye Yuanzhi and the pretending to be shy, and only felt that a fire was burning more and more, but at the same time, her expression became more and more shocking: "Daddy, don't you say this!" What if the aunt adds a child, does the aunt become the master when she adds a child? Tanghua didn't know that there was still this rule in the world, that is, my aunt gave birth to 1,800 children, and slaves and maids were always slaves! Daddy is the master of the aunt, it is the father who is generous, and the aunt is the master herself, which is presumptuous! No matter what Daddy thinks in his heart, etiquette is etiquette, rules are rules, Daddy doesn't even want an official voice for his aunt! ”

Speaking of official reputation, no matter how unwilling Ye Yuanzhi is, he also has some concerns, after all, Aunt Li is a concubine, and it is not cost-effective to be a concubine and a daughter who is the niece and granddaughter of the Queen Mother! Speaking of breaking the sky, a concubine is just a concubine!
