The old lady sat in the hall, frowned, and took a bowl of tea from Zhu'er's hand.

On the left sat the Qin family, the county lord, Aunt Xi, and Fengxian, and behind stood Zhuang Hu, Zhuang Yu, and the girl. On the right sit Cao's family, Aunt Yi, little aunt, Zhuang Xuan, Zhuang Ying and the girl standing behind, the housekeeper, the fourth son and other mothers-in-law and servants.

Yu Qi knelt in the center of the hall.

The old lady took a sip of tea, her eyes slightly glanced at the Qin family, and then at the Cao family.

The old lady said, "I've checked, but have you ever lost something?" ”

Yes, the county lord, Zhuang Hu, Zhuang Yu and the girl Jia Yuqi came to the Zhongfu hall, and the old lady was talking to Zhu'er in it at that time, and when she heard the sound, she asked Mei'er to go out and take a look, and only when she saw that she knew that justice was coming. The old lady didn't say anything when she came out, she waited for all the ladies and aunts to arrive, and asked the Qin family to ask someone to go to Jinghua Xie and the various mansions to check and inquire again, and only said that sentence when she came back.

Qin said: "Back to the old lady, I have never lost it." ”

The old lady said: "According to the third lady, someone saw Miss Qi's master and servant carrying things back at night. What's on your back? ”

The county lord didn't speak, and gave Baozhu a look.

Baozhu stood up and replied, "Find one more person at the girl's place." ”

The old lady took a sip of tea and said disgustedly: "I know the girl's side, there are only three of them." I'm going to add a few more. Where is there one more? ”

Baozhu stiffened, didn't know how to answer, glanced at the county lord, the county lord nodded slightly, and motioned for her to report.

Baozhu said: "It's a girl, lying down, as if she is quite sick, looking unconscious." ”

The old lady threw the tea bowl and looked angry: "How can a few girls carry a person back in the middle of the night?" Where did you come from? The people at the gates of the south, east, and west did not ask first. Besides, people are so easy to carry? In the evening, you can carry one and come back for me. ”

The old lady said it in an orderly manner, how could everyone refute it, let alone say that the old lady was angry, who would dare to speak?

Because she was the head of the county lord, she didn't speak at the moment, it was difficult to explain, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Old lady, there is indeed a person in the girl's house. ”

When the old lady heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Butler! ”

The butler walked out from behind the Cao family and bowed down to obey: "Old lady." ”

The old lady said: "The ladies have identified it, saying that Miss Qi carried someone into the house, but from which door did she come in?" ”

The housekeeper gasped and hurriedly explained: "Old lady, the doors in the house are all under the key on time, and last night due to the wind, the key was placed some hours earlier than usual, and the ...... was missing."

The old lady didn't believe it: "Huh? ”

Yu Qi never said a word, seeing that everyone was embarrassed by the old lady, he couldn't bear it.

Yu Qi kowtowed and said, "Back to the old lady, I did accept someone in the house." ”

The audience fell silent.

The Qin family knew that the old lady Su Ri was particularly open to Yu Qi, so he said: "Old lady, I think this matter needs to be investigated." ”

Cao Shi also responded: "Yes! If you don't check it out, in case you lead a group of thieves to kill it again......" In the words, how much is Sang scolding Huai. Those who understand can hear that Cao is dissatisfied with Yu Qi at the moment, and wants to say that she is all the way with the gangsters who came in from outside. Maybe it has something to do with the second master. If you talk about jealousy of Yu Qi because of the love between your children, it is because of the second master at this moment.

The old lady took a sip of Cao's and said, "Bastard! If you can lure thieves in, you are not taking good care of them! It's up to others to make it. If you don't have a hole to drill, and the mosquitoes are still staring at your unseamed eggs? ”

Cao Shi paused and blushed.

The county lord said carefully: "I didn't believe it when I received such a thing. I came to see it early in the morning, and I wanted to call the old lady together, but I didn't dare to disturb the old lady's rest for fear of being untruthful. I really didn't find anything when I came here. Thinking that I had wronged the girl, I would come over again to make amends, but I didn't expect ......"

What the county lord said was the truth, but it was all instigated by Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Yu later. She herself felt that she was at a loss. All the way to Jinghua Xie, Zhuang Hu caught some suspicious shadows of carrying things into the house and told her about them. As soon as he arrived in Jinghuaxie, what was originally apologized later turned into a search of the house, which led to such a mess.

The old lady suddenly laughed and said, "I just bumped into it, right?" ”

The crowd did not reply.

After a while, the old lady said to Yu Qi: "Girl Qi, in front of everyone's eyes, how can I protect you?" You say, how is it good? ”

Yu Qi kowtowed and said, "Please old lady, Mrs. punish." ”

The old lady was puzzled: "You don't have anything to say?" ”

Yu Qi resolutely knelt and did not speak.

Cao's eyes snorted, and he said angrily: "I just said that the person who came from the wrong way, now believe it, right?" ”

Aunt Xi also said: "Yes! Jiao pointed to Yu Qi's body: "I said you, recruit from the truth!" Otherwise, we will send the official! ”

The county lord saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "The girl is in trouble, you can say it." The wives are reasonable, and the old ladies are too. You can't hide it, so that if it's not a misunderstanding, you will be misunderstood. ”

Zhuang Hu glanced at Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Yu was a little nervous, and wanted her to say something too, but Zhuang Yu didn't appreciate it. Zhuang Hu said: "If you investigate it, there is also a way to deal with it." The girl said, don't worry. ”

Yu Qi really wanted to laugh in her heart, because she saw Zhuang Hu's trick of hiding the knife secretly, and she didn't speak.

Cao said: "Why don't you worry, if you die in our mansion and spread it, the government will come to conduct an autopsy and take people." It's going to hurt us. ”

Zhuang Hu was a little nervous, and said with a smile: "Aren't we trying to figure it out?" ”

Zhuang Hu was also afraid that the situation would be poked out and he would eventually be implicated.

The old lady said, "Girl, you say." ”

Yu Qi said: "I didn't know her, and when I saw that she was seriously ill, I carried it back......"

Qin said: "Then why dodge and dodge and don't know from us?" ”

Zhuang Qi said: "The incident happened suddenly, and I thought that I would return to Mrs. Ming and Mrs. Ming when it was done." ”

Cao Shi sneered: "Then I heard that the third lady went to the first time and couldn't find something, why did she find it again?" You have to have the heart to understand why you are hiding like this? What is the intention? ”

Yu Qi said fearfully: "I look at that girl...... The situation is not good, I am afraid that the wives will see it, so ...... So ......"

Cao Shi was so bored that he said angrily: "Bastard things, I can't make up a lie." Blatantly deceive the old lady and the lady to love you. Old lady, I can't see the family law, I can't ask the truth! ”

Aunt Xi shouted: "Come on, drag it out and play fifty boards, see if you move or not!" ”

On the side, Zhuang Yu was weak and moved. Just as she was about to lean over to speak, Zhuang Hu quickly grabbed her.

Right now, a few mothers-in-law came in to pull Yu Qi down.

The old lady didn't give up, and asked Yu Qi again: "Girl, I will ask you again, but you have a hard time?" ”

Yu Qi shook his head.

Cao Shi "snorted", raised his hand, and asked his mother-in-law to pull Yu Qi out.

Inside, the county lord opened his eyes and couldn't bear to chase after it. The Qin family looked sneering, and couldn't help but glance at the old lady.

The old lady didn't say a word, and watched her mother-in-law pull Yu Qi out, press her on the ground, and pick up the board and beat her hard. After a while, I saw blood on my skirt from a distance.

Yu Qi didn't say a word, gritted his teeth and endured it.

The county lord finally couldn't help but speak: "Old lady, I see that this girl has a tight mouth and can't ask a word." Otherwise, just blast it out and send it away, lie down and cure the one who can be cured, and then send ......it away when it is cured."

The county lord's painstaking efforts can only be understood by herself, and she is thinking that Yu Qi is niece. These, the other wives do not know.

Cao said: "It's good for her to go away, but if she is lying down, what if she can't be cured?" ”

The county lord said: "Then ......"

Aunt Xi said coldly: "There are two more who don't move, I think, pull those two over and beat them tightly, see if you can't move!" ”

The old lady closed her eyes, tired.

I saw Aunt Xi say again: "Old lady, this kind of thief is cheap, and he will not recruit without a while." If everyone in the house follows suit, how can they get it? ”

The little aunt was pregnant, so she said coldly: "I don't want to see these beatings, scolding, bleeding and tears." She got up and walked away.

Cao Shi smiled at Aunt Xi, Aunt Xi knew a little about it, turned her head to Qin, and said, "The stomach hasn't been shown yet, this score is placed!" ”

Before the little aunt left, the aunt of Nanfu said: "The heavy punishment and questioning are mostly untrue. Why don't you take your time and ask? ”

Cao said: "I see that only the board can ask the truth, if it is for you and I will ask, but I don't have the ability." ”

In it, you say a word to me, but there is no result. Outside, Yu Qi was beaten and bleeding from exhaustion.

At this moment, Zhuang Ying and Sanxi ran in from outside.

Seeing that Yu Qi was held down and beaten by several mothers-in-law, Zhuang Jue shouted from afar: "Stop!" ”

When he stepped forward, he pushed away the mother-in-law with the stick board. Sanxi had already rushed to fall on Yu Qi's body and cried.

Zhuang Jue squatted in front of Yu Qi and said, "Sister, sister is okay......"

Yu Qi took Zhuang Yu's hand and said softly, "Remember what I told you." Don't tell Sister Bichi......"

Zhuang Jue waited for her to finish speaking, shook off her hand, turned around and rushed into the lobby, kneeling.

Zhuang Jue said to the court: "If the old lady wants to be punished, she will punish me." It has nothing to do with my sister. ”

The county lord was shocked.

The old lady woke up.

Zhuang Jue continued: "I carried the people in my sister's house back, and I look pitiful. But I can't carry it back to my own room, lest my wife see it and blame me. I happened to think that there were only three people in my sister's place, so I bothered my sister. I didn't expect my sister to be beaten on the board at this moment......"

After hearing this, the old lady was overjoyed, and hurriedly interrupted: "Then why didn't she tell the truth?" ”

Zhuang Jue said coldly: "My sister is kind-hearted and afraid that it will affect me, so she has everything. Please believe what I say, old lady. ”

The old lady grabbed the tea bowl with one hand, threw it in front of Zhuang Yu, and said, "What a bastard!" Confused! You're such a troublemaker, you can't hurt people once and hurt a second time. ”

Zhuang Jue knelt down in front of the old lady: "Old lady, you can punish me!" ”

The old lady closed her eyes, raised her hand and said, "I've wronged the girl!" Drag your third master out and beat ...... Fifty boards! ”

As soon as the old lady stopped talking, the county lord and his subordinates knelt down and begged for mercy. The wives of the other houses also knelt down.

The county lord begged: "Old lady, Yu'er has never been beaten so hard since she was a child, so you can't help it!" ”

The old lady said coldly and angrily: "Do you see that the girl can withstand such a beating? Drag it out! Hit hard! ”

Where did the mother-in-law dare not listen, they came in and set up Zhuang Ying and dragged him out.

Outside, side by side with Yu Li, several mothers-in-law pretended to give a few small beatings on Zhuang Di's buttocks. and said to him carefully: "The third master is like a good voice." ”

Therefore, Zhuang Yu screamed in pain like a pig.

The people inside thought that they were really beaten, and the Qin family, the county lord and others begged for mercy.

The old lady was even more ruthless and said, "Beat hard!" Hit hard! ”

Hearing Zhuang Jue's screams became more and more miserable, the county lord was frightened and fainted, and made everyone anxious into a heap, sending people to find doctors to find doctors, and asking people to boil soup and medicine.

Outside, Zhuang Jue saw that there was a busy mess inside, and he smiled at Yu Yu lively.
