CHAPTER XVI
Ye Rong fell into the water, several people were startled, Ye Rong's two maids hurriedly let go of Lu Fei, ran to the edge of the pond, and pulled Ye Rong up who was struggling in the water.
The water on the shore is not deep, the maid came quickly, Ye Rong only choked a few mouthfuls of water, but after all, it is spring, and the water in the pond is still very cold, and Ye Rong sneezed a few times as soon as she came up.
"Oh, my sister Rong, who pushed you into the water?!" Qi Shi, who got the news, cried all the way over, and hugged Ye Rong in his arms, "My poor daughter, she almost died!" ”
Ye Rong was scared and annoyed, listened to her mother's words, raised her hand and pointed, "It's her!" It was Ye Qian who pushed me down! ”
"It's not me, I didn't touch you at all, it was you who slipped and fell!" Ye Qian argued.
Along with the Qi family, Ye Fu and Ye Ji, who happened to be at home, Ye Fu said softly: "Fourth sister, it's okay, it's inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps when sisters joke and play, but it's not good to lie and deceive people, you better tell the truth, even if you push the third sister into the water, your mother won't blame you." ”
"I said it wasn't me!" Ye Qian's little face turned red.
"Not our girl!" Lu Fei, who had a few blood paths on her face, stood beside Ye Qian, "Before our girl passed, the third girl fell!" ”
Ye Fu's face sank, "Masters talk, where are there slaves and maids who interject casually, give me a palm!" ”
The mother-in-law who followed behind her glanced at Qi's family, saw that she had no objection, and stepped forward to go towards Lu Fei.
Ye Qian stood in front of Lu Fei, her short arms were spread, protecting Lu Fei, and her big apricot eyes glared at the woman, "You dare to touch her!" ”
Lu Fei was grabbed and twisted by the two maids just now, and her body hurt badly, and she didn't shed tears, at this time, seeing her girl's small body protecting herself, her eyes couldn't help but feel a fever.
Ye Ji is only one year younger than Ye Li, and he has always been taught by the second master himself, he looked at this scene speechlessly, women are like this, if they don't know how to solve the problem from the root, they will make noise about some trivial things, "Okay, the matter has not been clarified yet, no one should jump to conclusions, mother, let's send the third sister back to the house first, so as not to catch a cold." ”
As soon as he said this, the Qi family reacted, and hurriedly called a stout mother-in-law and carried Ye Rong on her back, but did not send her to her own courtyard, but carried it directly to Shou'an Hall.
Ye Qian wanted to go back to her yard to treat the injuries on her face for Lu Fei, but was pulled by Ye Fu, "Fourth sister, let's also go to Shou'an Hall to see if the third sister is okay." ”
How could Lu Fei rest assured that her girl would go over alone, and she didn't care about the injury on her face, so she followed behind.
Soon, Shou'an Hall was full of people, and even the third wife, Mei, also came.
"Sister Qian'er, you guys are making trouble, how can you push Sister Rong into the water?" The old lady glanced at Ye Qian reproachfully, "You can't do this in the future, sisters have to be affectionate with each other." ”
The door of Shou'an Hall was not closed, and the words clearly spread to the courtyard, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Mama Feng's mouth, she didn't go in, this time was an opportunity, she wanted to see how muddy the water was in this Hou Mansion.
"Old lady, it doesn't have to be Sister Qian'er who pushed it, right?" The third wife, Mei, had already heard about this incident, and interjected: "Sister Qian'er has always been a very measured child, even if she fights, she will not do such a thing. ”
The old lady glanced at Mei and suppressed the fire in her heart, this daughter-in-law has never followed her own wishes, there is no man and half woman under her knees, and she is very jealous, the maid she gave to the third child couldn't even enter the yard, so she returned it, if it weren't for her father's sake, how could she be allowed to this day.
"I didn't push her, she slipped her foot and fell on her own." Ye Qian didn't know how many times she said this, but she repeated it again at this time.
Ye Fu shook her head and sighed, "Fourth sister, it's not good to lie, you-"
"What's going on?!" Ye Li came in a hurry, he was in the martial arts arena, the farthest away from the inner courtyard, he heard that his sister had an accident, and rushed back all the way. As soon as I entered Shou'an Hall, I saw the old lady sitting on the top, everyone sitting on the chairs on both sides, and my baby sister stood alone in the middle of the room, but her small body was stubbornly straight.
"Brother!" As soon as Ye Qian saw Ye Li, she immediately became aggrieved, her pink little mouth pouted, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.
Ye Li's heart hurt like a needle prick, he walked up to Ye Qian, took her little hand, and sneered, "Are you interrogators?" ”
Qi said with a smile: "Brother Li'er said too seriously, what kind of trial prisoner, it's just Sister Qian and Sister Rong-"
Ye Li didn't listen to what she said, and pulled Ye Qian to the side of the chair and sat down, "Qianqian, tell my brother what's going on." ”
From beginning to end, no one asked her how things were, not only did they not ask her, but they also didn't ask Ye Rong and her two maids, it seemed that everyone agreed in unison that she pushed Ye Rong. Only when her brother came, did he listen to her seriously. Ye Qian held back her tears and told her what had happened, "Brother, I really didn't push her." ”
"Hmm." Ye Li gently pushed the messy hair of her sideburns behind her ears, "I believe in Qianqian." ”
With this reassuring word, Ye Qian's tears finally fell.
"Qianqian is not afraid, there is a brother." Ye Li's thumb touched her face and wiped away the tears. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has worked very hard, a fourteen-year-old boy, there are already calluses on his fingertips, Ye Qian's soft little face feels the slight tingling pain brought by his rough fingers, but he feels extremely stable in his heart, even if the people in the entire Hou Mansion don't believe her, as long as there is a brother who believes in her, it is enough.
Ye Li held her little hand, and glanced at the room coldly, "Since the third sister said that Qianqian pushed her, and Qianqian said that the third sister fell by herself, so it's okay, bring the maids present." ”
Soon, Ye Rong's two maids and Lu Fei came in and knelt side by side in the middle of the room, which was really the posture of the interrogator.
Ye Li ordered someone to take the rattan, held it in his hand, and stood behind the three of them, "Boom", one of them came up on his back.
Ye Rong's two maids suddenly let out a miserable scream, they were the first-class maids beside Ye Rong, they didn't even do rough work, they raised fine skin and tender meat, how could they stop Ye Li from doing this.
Lu Fei was stunned for a moment, as for screaming so loudly, why didn't she feel pain at all? However, she thought that it was the prince who carried out the execution, and she suddenly felt blessed to her heart, and she also screamed, although it was a little later than the two screams.
Ye Qian saw that Lu Fei's coat was torn, and saw that she screamed so badly, so she jumped up and hugged her, "Brother, don't hit her!" ”
Lu Fei was very moved in her heart, the girl was protecting her for the second time today, she also hugged Ye Qian, and took the opportunity to whisper in her ear: "The slave is pretended." ”
Ye Qian didn't feel pain at all when she heard her voice, and couldn't help but look up at her brother, and saw him blink his eyes quickly, "Qianqian, get out of the way!" ”
Ye Qian was raised under the care of her brother, and the two could be said to have a very tacit understanding, she suddenly understood, and silently retreated to the chair and sat down.
Ye Li said coldly: "Presumably, the three of you also have different statements, it doesn't matter, I'll just fight like this until the three of you are unified, I think at that time, what you are saying is the truth." ”
"Brother Tong'er, what are you doing?!" The old lady shouted dissatisfiedly: "It's just a fight between sisters, as for the execution?" Stop! ”
"It's nothing to fight between sisters, but it's a big problem to deliberately frame others, as for these three maids, they have different words, someone must be lying, our Hou Mansion can't tolerate such a subordinate!" After Ye Li finished speaking, three more rattan strokes were pulled out.
Lu Fei learned to be obedient this time, as soon as the rattan fell on his body, there was a miserable scream, the two maids almost fainted in pain, seeing that Ye Rong did not come forward, the second wife did not speak, and the old lady did not save herself, so she panicked and scrambled to open her mouth.
"Don't fight, don't fight, the slave is recruited!"
"The fourth girl didn't push our girl, our girl fell by herself!"
"Before the fourth girl ran to our girl, our girl's feet slipped and she fell into the water!"
Ye Li threw the rattan in his hand, "These two maids will be sold tomorrow!" After speaking, he took Ye Qian's hand and left Shou'an Hall without looking back.
