Chapter 126: Fueling the Flames
Zhou Yuning firmly denied it, and since Shi Sigou said it, he could only bite her.
"Third lady, I have been friends with you for many years, and this is a token of love that you gave me personally."
Chen Wanyu gloated and interjected: "Flies don't bite eggs, and the third lady won't dare to do it." ”
"Old lady, you can send a proper person to the smoke cage courtyard, and let the frost who is waiting for me take out my things and compare them. As for hairpins, I've always been plain, I don't wear any bells and whistles like this, and you can let people check my jewelry box by the way. ”
Zhou Yuning refuted it in an orderly manner, and generously asked people to go to the smoke cage courtyard for comparison, her attitude was very convincing.
"Mama Yun, it's hard for you to go." Since Zhou Yuning took the initiative to propose, Mrs. Ruan felt that it was better to investigate thoroughly so as not to settle the truth and have more rights and wrongs, and it was up to her will.
Mama Yun was ordered to take people to the smoke cage courtyard, except for the occasional whispering of the subordinates, the other people had different expressions, but they didn't make a sound.
After waiting for a long time, it was time to play by herself, Ruan Mianmian jumped off the chair and clapped her hands, looking like a little doll having fun by herself.
The little milk dumpling's behavior attracted all attention, and she walked to the coffee table next to her grandmother on her short legs.
Ruan Mianmian's face was full of curiosity, her goal was very clear, that is, the two things that Shi Sigou handed over.
"Come to Grandfather, Mianmian." Ruan Geng motioned for her to move away from the objects.
"Grandfather." Ruan Mianmian twisted the hairpin with her small hand, "It looks familiar, but I'm sure it's not my mother's, it's just like I've seen it there." ”
Ruan Mianmian raised her hand and raised her hairpin, looking up at it, and caught a glimpse of Chen Wanyu's face changing suddenly out of the corner of her eye, and she couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth.
"It's familiar." was reminded by Ruan Mianmian, Mrs. Ruan vaguely remembered where she had seen this hairpin, "You bring it, grandmother will take a good look." ”
Old Madam Ruan stretched out her hand towards Ruan Mianmian, and when the little milk dumpling was about to hand it to her, she suddenly turned around sharply.
"I remember, isn't this the hairpin of the eldest aunt." Ruan Mianmian said that the little short legs were very fast, and he handed them directly to Ruan Chan, "Uncle, can you take a look?" ”
Chen Wanyu's face instantly looked as ugly as she wanted, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Qin Ruolan's back was cold, her eyes were sharp, and she felt familiar when Ruan Mianmian raised the hairpin, and at this time she was sure that it was indeed Chen Wanyu's hairpin.
Her mind was spinning quickly, and Qin Ruolan whispered in Chen Wanyu's ear, "Auntie, I'm sure I'm going to lose it." ”
Chen Wanyu settled down, the development of things was full of twists and turns, looking at Zhou Yuning's determined appearance, it was not terrible to have a bamboo basket to draw water tonight, and she didn't dare to continue to think about the most terrible ending.
Ruan Chan didn't answer, but her expression changed dramatically in an instant, and the Marquis of Ding'an saw it in her eyes.
Obviously, the little maid said that it was the third lady's, why did she become the hairpin of the eldest lady again? Shi Sigou couldn't figure it out.
Facing Ruan Chan's inquiring gaze, Chen Wanyu knew that she couldn't dodge.
"It looks like my hairpin, but it has been lost for a long time, Shi Sigou was the garden steward before, maybe he picked it up."
"Lie, I obviously saw my aunt wearing it a few days ago." Ruan Mianmian muttered, the voice was not loud or small, and everyone in the seat could hear it.
Ruan Chan naturally heard it, he thought about it carefully, it was indeed two days ago that he saw Chen Wanyu wearing it, she was lying, she had an ulterior secret.
Thinking about this clearly, Ruan Chan was so angry that even his body trembled, but he could barely hold back, but he endured it so hard.
Receiving Qin Ruolan's eyes, Shi Sigou hurriedly said, "I picked it up." ”
Ruan Mianmian was full of envy: "Oh, you are really lucky, you have been away from the Hou Mansion for a long time, and you can still pick up the hairpin that the eldest aunt has lost in the past two days." ”
The seemingly innocent words are actually heart-piercing, and everyone can hear the meaning of Ruan Mianmian's words, but it is actually that Chen Wanyu and Shi Sigou met recently.
Ruan Chan's face darkened, Chen Wanyu was very anxious, but she didn't know how to explain it for a while.
It's over, Qin Ruolan can already foresee that the already precarious relationship between her uncle and aunt will deteriorate even more.
Will my aunt be divorced? Qin Ruolan told herself that she absolutely not, if this was the case, not only Chen Wanyu, but even she herself would fall from the sky into the mud.
Qin Ruolan reminded in a low voice: "Auntie, child." ”
That's right, Chen Wanyu's eyes lit up: "I have a lot of jewelry, and there are a lot of similar ones, maybe I'm mistaken, now I have a big belly, I can't leave anyone around me, and I blame people for not serving me well, and I don't even know when I lost it." ”
That's right, Chen Wanyu has a big belly, and she can't expect to do anything. Not only Ruan Chan thinks this way, but others also think this way.
"That dog just said he's been friends for years." Ruan Mianmian touched her little head, "For many years? It's not recent. ”
"Ruan Mianmian, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Wanyu was anxious.
Zhou Yuning said lightly: "Flies don't bite eggs, and the eldest lady doesn't dare to do anything." ”
"You ——!" Chen Wanyu blocked her chest in one breath.
Mother's mother is amazing! Ruan Mianmian secretly approved, this sentence was said by Chen Wanyu just now, and now it was returned to her as it was.
The little milk dumpling grimaced at Chen Wanyu: "Auntie, is it only allowed by the state officials to set fires and not to allow the people to light lamps?" You can talk nonsense, I can't talk nonsense? ”
"You slander the elders!"
"You slander my mother!
"Look at it, old lady."
"Grandmother, look at it."
Ruan Mianmian and Chen Wanyu say a word to me, both of them will not give an inch.
Zhou Yuning saw that it was almost there, and said softly in a timely manner: "Mianmian, there is no reason to be loud, come and sit down, your grandfather and grandmother have their own judgments." ”
"Mother, why aren't you angry? They're trying to frame you. The little milk dumpling said dissatisfiedly.
As the words fell, Chen Wanyu noticed that the eyes of the people around her had changed dramatically. Although everyone knows it, it is very different if Ruan Mianmian said it directly.
"Shi Sigou, this marquis will ask you one last time, you can think clearly before you say, if there is any more untruth, I will hand you over to the Kyoto Yamen for interrogation, and then you will have to shed your skin if you don't die." Ruan Geng said leisurely.
Thinking about it, he was scared, his body couldn't help but tremble, Shi Sigou naturally knew how powerful it was, he couldn't help but look up at Chen Wanyu, and then lowered his head again.
The law of this dynasty is strict, and criminals are dealt with strictly, so there are many fewer people who have committed adultery than in previous dynasties, and they follow the palace of Hades when they enter the yamen.
The current situation is very beneficial to Zhou Yuning, as long as it can be proved that the underwear that Shi Sigou took out is not hers, then she will be able to clear up the relationship.
