Chapter 56: Confrontation

Wanyue saw that Yinqi had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "The concubine is not quibbling, but there are indeed doubts in this matter, so the concubine asks Lord Beile to think about the cause and effect of the matter, and then make a decision?" ”

When Yinqi heard this, he also calmed down a little, and returned to his seat to sit down, "Okay, tell me, what do you think are suspicious about this?" ”

Seeing this, Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yinqi intently.

"Before talking about this, the concubine wanted to tell Lord Belle about a strange thing that the concubine encountered a few days ago."

After listening to Wanyue's words, Yinqi frowned, "What's the strange thing?" “

"A few days ago, a six or seven-year-old boy came to the concubine courtyard in the middle of the night, crying and crying, saying that the concubine killed him, the concubine was really startled, just when the concubine asked who he was and told him that I killed him, the little boy ran away in a hurry, and the concubine didn't think too much about it at the time, so she chased after him, but the little boy still ran away!" Wanyue told Yinqi what she saw.

"You said there was a little boy in your yard a few days ago?" Yinqi asked with some surprise.

"Yes, and he keeps saying that I killed him!" Wanyue nodded and continued to add, "The concubine body thinks it is strange that this little boy obviously has the temperature of a human body, why does he pretend to be a ghost to scare the concubine. ”

After listening to Wanyue's words, Yinqi frowned, carefully thinking about the events of the past few days, and suddenly a picture flashed in his mind: Mama Gui seemed to have led a little boy into the house a few days ago, and at that time he thought it was Yinan's relatives who came to visit the house, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Hearing Yue'er's words just now, Yinqi couldn't help but be a little shocked at this moment.

Wanyue looked at Yinqi silently, and didn't say anything more, the two of them had their own thoughts.

After a long time, Yinqi lightly opened his lips: "Steward Yan, you go and invite Mama Gui from the Lower East Warm Pavilion to come over." ”

When the housekeeper Yan heard this, he immediately answered, and then turned around and walked outside.

After a while, Steward Yan took Mama Gui to the study.

After Mama Gui came in, she knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully: "The slave and maid knock on Lord Belle and side Fujin." ”

Seeing this, Yinqi said lightly: "Mama Gui, please get up." ”

"The slave has thanked Lord Belle." Mama Gui stood up and replied respectfully.

"I came to Mama Gui today to learn about something, Ben Beile remembers that Mama Gui brought a little boy to the house a few days ago, but is there such a thing?" Yinqi asked coldly.

Seeing this, Mama Gui didn't dare to hide it, and responded in a low voice: "There is such a thing." ”

"Where is the little boy now?" Yinqi asked again.

When Mama Gui heard this, she lowered her eyelids and said, "After talking about the old days, I left Baylor Mansion." ”

"Oh! Is it? Yinqi responded, his eyebrows were full of doubts, "Which relative of Chang Fujin is he?" ”

When Mama Gui heard this, she said with some hesitation: "This slave doesn't know. ”

When Yinqi heard this, he was a little angry, but because of his identity, he didn't show it.

Wanyue looked at Mama Gui as if she was watching a play, wanting to see what tricks she still hadn't used.

The guy from Xingwang Pavilion couldn't help but sneak a few glances at Wanyue, and every time he looked at it, his heart trembled, he had seen the methods of this owner's personal grandmother, and he was a powerful character.

Originally, someone came to him to inquire about things, and first gave him a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and the silver ticket was discovered by the owner's personal grandmother within a few days of being covered by him.

The grandmother thought that he had stolen the silver ticket from the bank, and was going to send him to the official, but he told the truth of the matter in a hurry.

To his surprise, after he said what happened, the grandmother didn't blame him, but said that he would do what she said, otherwise he would be sent to the official immediately.

He had no choice but to promise to do this well, so that he could avoid the disaster without reason.

After thinking for a while, Yinqi suddenly understood that the little boy was deliberately arranged by Mama Gui to scare her in Yue'er's yard.

Thinking of this, Yinqi couldn't help but sigh.

Mama Gui really took great pains for her master.

After a long time, Yinqi raised his head, looked at Mama Gui, and said in a deep voice: "Can you know this guy next to Mama Gui?" ”

Mama Gui followed Yinqi's gaze, and at a glance saw who the guy next to her was, and nodded hurriedly.

"Back to Lord Belle, the slave remembers that he is" Mama Gui was just about to say it, but was stopped by Wanyue.

Wan Yue looked at Yin Qi with a straight face: "This guy is the guy from the Xingwang Pavilion Money Village I opened." ”

"Do you know this grandmother?" Yinqi then raised his left hand, pointed at Mama Gui, and asked the guy.

The guy hurriedly turned his head and looked at Mama Gui, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"This grandmother's little acquaintance is Gui Mama."

After the guy finished speaking, he turned his head to Mama Gui and said in a low voice: "Mama Gui, what you said before that I will get things done, you will give me a good reward, and now I have said according to your instructions that Fang Fujin asked me to buy ghost props during the Midyear Festival last year, what kind of reward do you give me." ”

When Mama Gui heard this, her face changed drastically, and then she shouted at the guy: "You guy, what are you talking nonsense in Lord Belle's mansion!" Shut up yet."

Mama Gui said as she peeked at Yinqi's expression.

Yinqi saw Mama Gui's spitting appearance, and her face suddenly sank, "Mama Gui, is this guy telling the truth?" ”

"No, no, no. It's this guy who is talking nonsense. Mama Gui looked at Yinqi's gloomy face, and secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good.

"Really?! Why did you send that little boy to the side Fujin courtyard to pretend to be a ghost? Now why did this guy say what he said to frame Fang Fujin? Did your master tell you to do it? Yinqi's voice was already tinged with anger.

Mama Gui gritted her teeth, "Master Belle, you misunderstood the minion. This thing wasn't done by a minion, it's this guy's nonsense! ”

"Oh? Why did this guy slander Mama Gui? ”

"Someone must have given him a favor." Mama Gui hesitated for a moment and glanced at the man.

Mama Gui thought that this matter involved a wide range of things, and once it was exposed, it would definitely affect her family, and Yan Fujin might also be implicated.

When Yinqi heard this, his face was very annoyed, he had always been generous to others, and the subordinates in the house who had been trained by him were also mellow-hearted, but he didn't expect that the personal grandmother brought by Chang Fujin was so vicious, and he would actually come up with such a bad trick, which really disappointed him.

"Mama Gui, I'm asking you one last time, what is your intention in doing this?" Yinqi looked at Mama Gui who was kneeling on the ground and said coldly.

Mama Gui knelt on the ground, her heart flustered.

She didn't dare to look up at Yinqi's eyes.

Wanyue saw that Mama Gui was silent, and hurriedly glanced at the guy, and the guy immediately understood.

I saw him quietly take out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his cuff, and then stuffed it into Mama Gui's hand.

"This is the deposit that Mama gave me at the beginning, and the small one will be returned to you now."

"You" Mama Gui looked down at the silver ticket in her hand, looked up at the guy in disbelief, and secretly scolded herself in her heart for being confused, and she was deceived by this little bastard!

Mama Gui glared at the guy fiercely, picked up the silver ticket and threw it at the guy, "Wow, you little rabbit cub actually lied to me!" “

"Mama Gui, how can it be a little one to lie to you? Obviously, you asked me to tell everyone that it was Fang Fujin who asked me to buy the props needed for her to pretend to be a ghost in the Midyear Festival. When the guy saw Mama Gui throwing the silver ticket, he quickly dodged it.

The silver ticket landed on the ground with a snapping sound.

Mama Gui looked at the silver ticket on the ground, and trembled with anger: "You sharp-toothed little rabbit cub, when did I let you say this." ”

"Mama Gui, you forgot yourself, we met in the restaurant opposite Xingwang Pavilion Qianzhuang, and the silver ticket you gave me at the time was one hundred taels, saying that someone asked me about Fang Fujin, so I told them according to what you told me, if Fang Fujin was really disposed of by Wubeile, you would pay me the rest of the four hundred taels." The guy said confidently.

"You bastard!" Mama Gui shouted angrily, raising her hand and waving it at the guy.

"Stop!" Yinqi stood up, stood in front of the guy, grabbed Gui Mama's waving hand and pushed it back.

Seeing this, Mama Gui was frightened, and kept kowtowing to Yinqi, "Lord Belle, it's this little miscellaneous nonsense, you must not believe it!" ”

"Shut up!" Yinqi yelled, so frightened that Mama Gui shut her mouth.

Mama Gui trembled and knelt on the ground, and after a while, she came back to her senses and said to Yinqi: "Lord Belle, it must be Fang Fujin who bought this guy." ”

Yinqi frowned, glanced at Mama Gui, and said coldly: "Until now, you still want to blame Fang Fujin." Do you think I don't know you were pretending to be crazy? ”

After hearing this, Mama Gui looked at Yinqi in shock, and was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Yinqi picked up the teacup and drank tea, as if he didn't plan to spend more time with Mama Gui.

Seeing this, Mama Gui became more and more frightened in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Lord Belle, the slave is confused for a while, please let the slave go." ”

Yinqi put the teacup on the table heavily, and was so frightened that Mama Gui kept kowtowing.

"Ben Baylor now gives you two choices, one: you go and call your master over immediately, and we will confront each other to see if she instructed it, and the other is that you go to receive the punishment yourself, and after receiving the punishment, you will leave the house on your own, and you will not be allowed to enter the Baylor Mansion for half a step."

After Yinqi finished speaking, he looked in the direction of the door, waiting for Mama Gui to make a decision.

When Mama Gui heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she knew that this was Lord Bei Le's face for the sake of Chang Fujin and giving her a chance to live.

"The slave is willing to take the punishment and leave the house on his own." Mama Gui hurriedly said.

"Good!" Yinqi nodded and shouted outside, "Someone!" Pull this old slave to the torture hall for thirty! ”

"Yes!" Several guards outside the door heard the news and came in and dragged Gui Mama down.

Mama Gui was scared in her heart, and after a few struggles, she was tied up, and shouted a few words loudly, but unfortunately, the only one who could help her was in the East Warm Pavilion, and she couldn't hear her shouting.

After Mama Gui was dragged out, Yinqi walked towards Wanyue, took Wanyue's hand, and said softly: "Yue'er, I have wronged you." ”

Wanyue shook her head and sighed lightly: "How can it be a grievance? Since I am married to Lord Belle, these are the concubines I should accept and want to go back to the room first. ”

"Hmm." Yinqi nodded, "You go back to rest first, and I'll come over to dine with you in the evening." ”

Wanyue answered, turned around and left, but she was a little disappointed in Yinqi in her heart, and Lord Belle's treatment of Mama Gui today made her feel a little uncomfortable.
