Chapter 175: Interrogating Guo
"Rika, what are you yelling about? It scared the hell out of me....."
Grandma Guo stabilized her body and complained angrily.
"Give me the medicine!"
Rika stepped forward and snatched the medicine bowl from her hand.
"What do you mean by that?"
Granny Guo frowned.
"Come in with us....."
Ruyu gently grabbed Grandma Guo's arm and pulled her into Dounan Pavilion.
"Alas! Don't talk about me, what's going on with you girls? ”
Grandma Guo was confused by them, and kept chattering and asking,
Pear blossom Ruyu ignored her, she turned her head to cast a questioning look at the firecracker head,
found that the other party dodged and looked away.
It's not that Firecrackers doesn't want to pay attention to her, it's just that she doesn't know what Pear Blossom Ruyu has done to Grandma Guo.
"What's wrong? What is the noise? ”
The second lady poked her head out of the couch and saw that the three of them were hugging Grandma Guo towards her.
"Madam, you ask Grandma Guo herself!"
Lihua put the soup bowl on the table and turned around and pointed at Grandma Guo.
"Me? What's wrong with me? I just got back from home, I didn't do anything! ”
Guo Nanniang broke free of Ruyu's hand and hurriedly wanted to rush to the second lady.
was stopped by Pear Blossom and Firecracker alone.
"Didn't do anything? Hum! Grandma Guo, so far, I see that you still confessed yourself! ”
Pear Blossom stared at Granny Guo disdainfully.
"Ma'am, I really ...... I really don't know what they're talking about! ”
Grandma Guo cried to the second lady.
"Rika, what the hell is going on?"
The second lady lifted the veil and sat up from the bed in a hurry.
Seeing this, Firecracker hurriedly stepped forward to help her waist.
"Madam, Ruyu and I have been following her for many days, and I saw her sneakily returning home with a large sum of silver.
I once lost a pair of gold bracelets, and now Ruyu and I tried our best to let the pawnshop owner take out the gold bracelets to see,
only to find out that it was actually a thing in the house! ”
"Something in the house? A pair of gold bracelets? Could it be the carved gold bracelet that the lord once gave to the ladies of the gardens? ”
"The edge of the gold bracelet is carved with carvings, and the slave looks like a plum blossom."
Ruyu replied.
"Cheng gave the four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum as a reward, my carving is an orchid, Shen Kite's carving is green bamboo, and there are plum blossoms to do carving only in the West Garden!
Are you really sure it's a plum blossom? ”
"The slave and maid determined that in order to identify the authenticity, the slave and maid also deliberately took red paper around the edge of the bracelet and molded the carved pattern."
Ruyu said, then took out the rice paper in her arms and handed it to Qi.
Qi took the rice paper and looked at it: "Sure enough, it is a plum blossom, when I asked the craftsman to carve, I also went to observe it!"
This is indeed the carving of Cheng Nianxi's pair of gold bracelets......"
In addition to the gold bracelets, Grandma Guo also hid a lot of gold and silver jewelry in her own waste well.
The source is unknown! ”
Rika took over.
"Grandma Guo! Why is the gold bracelet in the West Garden in your hand? ”
The second lady frowned and asked.
"It's... This...."
"What is this? Can't tell, right? ”
Rika snapped the accusation.
"If you don't say it, I'll say it for you!
In the past two days, we have inquired in the mouths of the people in the house,
Grandma Guo and Aunt Mo, the new arrival in Naxi Garden, are particularly close,
Even one evening, there was a maid who saw Grandma Guo coming out of Zhaoxi Pavilion! ”
"Zhaoxi Pavilion?" Firecrackers were also taken aback.
"That's right! You can't go wrong with this! Grandma Guo is good friends with Aunt Mo,
Why is the eldest lady's gold bracelet in your hands, why don't you call Aunt Mo to ask clearly,
I don't know if the two of you were embarrassed and stole the jewelry of the West Garden, or if the eldest lady deliberately wooed you,
I gave you a gold bracelet! ”
"It's not...... Not ma'am! ”
Grandma Guo's legs suddenly weakened and she fell to the ground.
"Although the slave and maid met Aunt Mo, it was before entering the house, and the slave and maid were in trouble at home.
Madame is not ignorant! The lady also rewarded the slave and maid with some silver to go back to the relief of the family!
How can a slave be such an ungrateful person! ”
"Then Grandma Guo made her words clear, so that we can understand whether she wronged you!"
Rika yelled angrily, she wouldn't believe her nonsense.
"The gold bracelet was given to the slave by Aunt Mo, saying that the eldest lady gave it to her.
She was helpless in the city, and she had no relatives, and it was useless to keep her, and she knew that the slave and maid were in difficulty at home.
So he gave the gold bracelet to the slave! ”
"What a joke!" Pear Blossom snorted coldly: "That gold bracelet was given by the prime minister, how could the eldest lady reward it to Aunt Mo?" ”
"The slave doesn't know! The slave really doesn't know! If they had known that this gold bracelet was so precious, the slave would never have dared to accept it! ”
Grandma Guo lay on the ground and whimpered.
"What do you explain by the gold, silver, and jewelry?"
Ruyu asked.
"The silver I saved myself, and the jewels from my wife, and some of the gold bracelets I bought in exchange......
Grandma Guo replied: "There is also a part, Aunt Mo often helps me ......"
"Aunt Mo again? I really don't know if you are good friends with Aunt Mo or with the eldest lady? ”
Ruyu's tone was not good.
"You...... What do you mean by that? I am a person from Nanyuan, and I am a nurse of Qifu!
Why does the eldest lady favor me as an old woman? ”
"So far, you still refuse to admit that the eldest lady has bought you?"
Rika crouched down in front of her and glared angrily.
"Nope! Nope! Madam! ”
Hearing this, Grandma Guo's body trembled uncontrollably, crying and shouting, pushing away the pear blossom and crawling under Qi's bed.
"Madame! The slave and the maid have watched you grow up since childhood, and there is no merit and hard work, and the lady must believe in the slave and the maid! ”
"Alas!"
The second lady was torn apart by her headache, looking at the nurse who took care of her in the past.
Now that she betrayed her for money, she couldn't say that she was chilling.
"Grandma Guo, do you know that stealing property in the house is to go to jail?"
"I.... Slaves and maids! It's really Aunt Mo! It was Aunt Mo who gave it to the slave! ”
"Okay, Ruyu, go and call Aunt Mo, remember not to alarm the master and the eldest lady."
Qi waved his hand helplessly.
"Yes....."
Ruyu turned around and walked out of Dounan Pavilion and headed towards the West Garden.
"Madam, why don't you directly inform the master and take Grandma Guo and Aunt Mo to the front yard to confront each other?"
Rika asked.
"Shh The firecrackers on the side saw Qi's brows tightly locked, so he opened his mouth,
She pulled Pear Blossom aside and whispered to her:
"This Guo Granny was sent in by the Qi Mansion, and she is an old man, and when this happened, not only Nanyuan's face was dull,
Even the Qi Mansion also lost face, not to mention that this mother's family recruited thieves into her mother-in-law's house, and actually ate inside and outside to deal with her own young lady.
When the time comes, what will be the face of the old man of the Qi family? Besides, Mrs. Guo is not yet grateful, and she will never let her go to jail when she sees the official.
When the time comes, it's a big deal to get out of the house, and never see each other is ......"
"But this ..... It's also too cheap for her! ”
Pear blossom pursed her lips helplessly, feeling a little aggrieved.
After a while, Ruyu took Aunt Mo into Dounan Pavilion.
When Grandma Guo saw Aunt Mo, she hurriedly stepped forward, but Aunt Mo flashed to the side like a snake and a mouse.
"Aunt Mo!"
"The slave maid has seen the second lady, I don't know what the lady has to call the slave maid to do?"
Aunt Mo saluted expressionlessly.
"Aunt Mo, are you and Grandma Guo old acquaintances?"
The second lady asked.
"Yes...... Before the slave maid entered the house, she had been neighbors with Guo Nanniang for a few days. ”
"Then you and her, do you have a financial dealing?"
The second lady asked again.
"And there is no ....."
"Aunt Mo, Aunt Mo! You've got to be honest! Didn't you give me some of my jewelry? ”
As soon as Guo Nanniang heard this, she immediately stopped doing it, and stumbled up from the ground.
"The slave has never given jewelry to Grandma Guo!"
"You talk nonsense! Obviously, some people have seen Grandma Guo enter and leave Zhaoxi Pavilion! ”
Pear Blossom pointed at Aunt Mo.
"That's Grandma Guo came to the West Garden to find the slave and borrow money from the slave and maid, but the slave and maid were short of money and couldn't come up with the money.
On that day, Guo Nanniang also scolded the slave and maid for not saving her when she saw death and not remembering her old feelings. ”
"I ..... I didn't.... When I went to Zhaoxi Pavilion that day, Aunt Mo wanted to pick up some flower tea for me when the eldest lady was away! ”
Grandma Guo looked at Pear Blossom and defended herself word by word.
"The slave maid has never taken any flower tea to Grandma Guo."
Aunt Mo is still neither humble nor arrogant, without the slightest emotion on her face.
"Alright, you go down first....."
The second lady knew that Aunt Mo would never admit it, which further confirmed that Grandma Guo must be related to Xiyuan.
"Yes.... The slave and maid retired ....."
Aunt Mo turned around and left, and she didn't even look at Grandma Guo from beginning to end.
But the more this happens, the more wrong it becomes.
Now several people in this room are convinced that Guo Niangniang is a traitor to Nanyuan.
"Madame, ma'am, there really isn't a slave! Slave and maid, tell the truth, the gold bracelet!
The gold bracelet was also given to me by you, and you asked me to take it to the pawnshop, you said that you were too busy to go out of the house recently, and you have been wearing it on your body for fear of being found out by the eldest lady.
I have to wait for half of the silver to be sold sooner!
It's Aunt Mo who refuses to explain! The slave does like to be greedy for some small gains, but she is a money addict on weekdays.
But betraying Mrs. and hurting Mrs. Slaves and maids will never do it! ”
"Enough, Granny Guo, I miss that you are old, and you have the grace to nurture me, I will save you a little face,
In order to preserve the reputation of our Qi Mansion, from now on, you don't have to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, let alone go back to the Qi Mansion.
I will give you ten days to move out of the Imperial City, wherever you go, and never appear in front of me. ”
"Madame! Madame, you can't take the slave away!
Madam! The slave and maid are wronged! ”
Grandma Guo lay on the ground and wailed.
The firecrackers are in my eyes, but there are no waves in my heart, I can't imagine that this looks like a loyal and honest Guo Niang,
will be bought by the eldest lady and willingly be her lackey.
Guo Nanniang made trouble in Dounan Pavilion for a while, but was finally frightened by the firecrackers.
She told Grandma Guo that if she didn't know what to do, she would no longer care about her age.
directly went to the government to report to the official, just the matter of the eldest lady's gold bracelet was enough for her to eat dozens of whips.
But even if you ask why, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of the yamen.
Guo Nanniang is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, which can be seen from her betrayal and glory.
As soon as these words came out, the crying stopped, and he gave up quibbles, snorted and kowtowed to Qi's head a few times.
He packed his bags and left South Park.
Qi was exhausted by her play, and she never thought that Grandma Guo would betray her.
