"Firecrackers, you make it clear, why did you leave the house late at night?"

The eldest lady sat down slowly and asked in a normal tone.

"Slave and maid, slave and maid saw a dark figure going towards the side door, and followed.

Who knew that when they climbed out of the dog hole, they found that it was actually Steward Li and they were guarding there. ”

"Master, the old slave swears that there was absolutely no dark shadow before her!

Even if the old slave is old and his old eyes are dizzy, the other five or six family members have a few pairs of eyes that are really real! ”

Steward Li insisted that he didn't see any dark shadows.

"Madame, Madam, the slave maid has also told Madame before,

Someone in the house once fled the house in the middle of the night. ”

"Nonsense, I haven't heard of ....."

The second lady glanced at her with disgust:

"I see that you are a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and you actually want to frame me?"

"Madam, I didn't, I ..... before"

"Smack!"

Before she finished speaking, Second Lady Qi stood up and slapped her in the face.

The crisp slap shocked almost everyone present.

"Shut up, it's not enough to be ashamed, is it?"

The second lady's face was flushed with annoyance, and one hand was still raised high,

It seems that the slap just now did not relieve the anger.

"Sister, the matter hasn't been clarified yet, don't be impulsive."

The eldest lady became a peacemaker again.

"I beat my maid, what's the matter with Sister Guan?"

Qi Xiaoyunfeng's eyes were raised, and he glared at Cheng Nianxi angrily.

"That's it, what do you want to do with it?"

The prime minister interjected impatiently and asked.

"Master, it's all because the concubine has no way to discipline her, and the people in Nanyuan have their own concubines to take back for interrogation.

I will definitely give an explanation to the lord and the whole house. ”

"Good.... Then bring it back and let her confess as soon as possible. ”

"Yes....."

Second Mrs. Qi had a big belly, and only symbolically blessed her body, so she ordered someone to drag up the firecrackers that were kneeling on the ground.

"Big lady, big lady save me, the slave is wronged, big lady."

The firecracker was dragged all the way and looked at the eldest lady with a wail.

"Sister ....."

"What's the matter with my sister? Don't you feel sorry for this maid? ”

The second lady waved her hand, and the people pulled the firecrackers out of the front hall.

"I know that my sister was the old owner of this girl, but now she is in my South Garden,

If you make a mistake, you have to leave it to me, and if my sister wants someone, she has to settle this matter.

But my sister's ugly words are ahead, and when the time comes, will this person be missing an arm or a broken leg?

Whether I can return my sister to a complete person, but I'm not sure. ”

The second lady sneered, turned around and left.

It is said that the firecrackers were carried all the way back to the South Park, and before his head was raised, he was thrown into the firewood room in the backyard.

Not long after, the second lady walked in with Grandma Zhou, and looked at the maid who she used to spoil but now turned her back on the ground in embarrassment.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up with mockery.

"If you do not speak one day, you shall not eat or drink for one day, and for two days you will not speak.

I'll be locked up here for two days, and I'll see how hard your bones can be!" ”

"Madam, there are no slaves, there are really no slaves!"

Firecrackers crawled up to her feet, grabbed her trouser legs and pleaded.

She knew that she wouldn't believe anything the second lady said!

"Get out of here, a cheap bone, good to you, you just don't know how to lift,

If you have to go against me, this is the end of your shit! ”

Qi Xiaoyun broke away from her hand, turned around and ordered the subordinates to lock the door tightly.

Bang!

She was completely left in the darkness, and the smell of mold wafted faintly in the air,

She sat on the damp floor, her right foot already red and swollen.

I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually got better, and suddenly there was a sound of slapping outside the window,

Then came the voices of pear blossoms and Ruyu.

"Firecrackers, firecrackers, it's us!"

“......”

She just woke up from her trance.

"Firecrackers!"

"Pear blossom? Such as jade? ”

Firecracker sat up with difficulty and limped to his feet.

"What's going on?"

"I saw you disappear early in the morning, but when I came to Nanyuan, I realized that you were locked up!"

Ruyu asked anxiously as she lay on her stomach between the cracks in the door.

"I found the man in black again last night, so I followed, but I didn't expect to be mistaken by Steward Li for fleeing from the house.

Last night a group of masters gathered around me to interrogate me at night, and my wife and I mentioned the woman in black, but she didn't know it. ”

"No, we wanted to tell Madame that day, but Madame has been unwell since early in the morning.

We were stopped by Mrs. Zhou, I was afraid that I would forget to delay the big event when I was busy.

asked Mrs. Zhou to tell her instead, and she agreed, and told us afterwards that Mrs. told us not to make a noise, so as not to startle the snake. ”

Rika leaned on the door and muttered to herself.

"Forget it, it's come to this, I can only ask for more blessings for myself."

"Why are you asking for more blessings, let's go to Madame and make things clear?"

Pear blossom tore the steamed bun and pie into several slices and stuffed them through the crack in the door.

"Grab something to eat and pad your stomach, maybe you'll be out when we get back."

The firecrackers looked at the steamed buns she stuffed in and fell to the ground and stained with dust,

I can't help but smile bitterly, is my current situation even worse than a mouse?

Pear blossom Ruyu came out of the firewood room and went straight to Dounan Pavilion to intercede with the firecrackers.

"Get out! I didn't want to stay in South Park, so I said, Hugh wants to intercede for that little hoof! ”

The second lady didn't raise her eyelids.

"No, ma'am! What the firecrackers said is true, we did catch a woman in black at the side door a few days ago,

It's a pity that she ran away....."

Pear Blossom didn't care if the master was happy or not, and began to shout when she opened her loud voice.

"Get out of here!"

Second Mrs. Qi grabbed the pillow under her and threw it out of the tent, and accidentally smashed it on Lihua's head.

"Madam, I can also testify that the firecrackers did not go out of the house in the middle of the night,

She must have discovered the whereabouts of the man in black....."

Ruyu also knelt down.

"You've made it up together in the morning, right?

Have you practiced it? If you want to get together and trick me, fool me! ”

"No, ma'am....."

The two girls saw that she didn't believe it at all, and they had no idea for a while.

"If so, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"The slave begged Granny Zhou to tell her earlier!"

"Granny Zhou? Okay, then ask Granny Zhou to come in and ask....."

As soon as the second lady waved her hand, Ruyu hurriedly stood up and ran out to call Granny Zhou.

"Madame, what do you want to ask?"

Granny Zhou stood on the edge of the couch.

"Did Rika tell you about the Man in Black before?"

"Men in black? What Men in Black? ”

Granny Zhou frowned, looking uncertain.

"Granny Zhou, think about it again, just a few years ago in the morning,

Ruyu and I were talking to you at the door. ”

When Lihua saw that Granny Zhou refused to admit it, she was immediately anxious.

"Oh, even though I'm old, my memory isn't very good.

It's just that you won't forget what you haven't said,

This Pear Blossom Girl and Ruyu Girl have never told the slave maid anything about the man in black. ”

"You! I was right there that day, and I heard Pear Blossom tell you! ”

Ruyu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Granny Zhou's arm.

"Oh, I didn't say it, I didn't say it, what are you pinching me for?"

Granny Zhou seemed to feel pain, and actually pushed her away from Ruyu's hand.

Ruyu didn't expect her to push herself, so she subconsciously dodged back, and Granny Zhou pounced.

He fell to the ground solidly.

"Oops!"

Granny Zhou lay on the ground and moaned.

"It's against you! How dare you do it right under my nose! ”

"Ma'am, I didn't... I didn't push her at all...."

Ruyu squatted down and stretched out her hand to help Granny Zhou who was lying on the ground.

was dodged by her with palpitations, and cowered to the side.

"Madame... We...."

"Humph! Okay, one chaos is not enough, the two of you are also rebelling?

Come on, throw the two of them out of here! Ditch the backyard and sweep the stables!

Don't set foot in the South Park again! ”

The second lady's angry eyes were slightly red.

"Yes....."

Four maidens came in behind him, and looked at the kneeling one in the room,

The squatting one, and the other lying on their stomachs, were at a loss for a while.

Looking at the pear blossom and Ruyu on weekdays, they are also kind,

He only stepped forward symbolically to pull the two of them,

Who knew that these two people did not compromise, and still relied on the ground and did not leave.
