Chapter 147: Peony angrily scolds Guan Jingqiu
Seeing Guan Jingqiu's fierce look, Peony yelled at her young lady with a fierce attitude, and pointed fingers, she couldn't help but be angry from her heart, and immediately rushed to Ji Jun's face, opening her arms to block Ji Jun behind her.
Seeing this, Mai Dong immediately blocked Ji Yan behind him.
Mai Dong and Peony glared at Guan Jingqiu in unison.
Peony shouted at Guan Jingqiu,
"Hey! Miss Guan, what are you shouting? Why do you say that our young lady killed someone? Which eye did you see that our young lady had killed? I was also surprised, they all fell into the bottom of the well, or you fell down first, and no one saw anyone go down before you came out and went down the well with our young lady. Isn't it that you spent time with that man under the well? That person didn't kill you, you did! We haven't said you're a murderer yet, but you accused our young lady first, are you the first wicked person to sue you? β
Peony's words were logical and clear, and everyone had some thoughts in their hearts for a while.
Even Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin began to notice the peony, and immediately felt that this maid was articulate and clear-minded, no wonder Miss was different.
Guan Qingqiu was stunned for a while by Peony's merciless counterattack and questioning, and gasped for several times before he looked at Peony angrily,
"Who is the wicked? Why are you so unruly, a maid! If you are like this, you will be killed in our Shilang Mansion a long time ago! β
The peony sneered, without fear,
"You're embarrassed to talk about the rules! I'm shameless for you! In the Chen Guogong Mansion, the grandfather of the country didn't say anything, the relatives of a beautiful person like the county lord of Yangxu didn't say anything, and the young lady with the status of the county lord of Lili didn't say anything, you are here for seven or eight children! It's not enough for you, why are you everywhere? Why is your face plate so big? What's up? Do you still want to hang the ghost and wink at him? β
Everyone,"
The hanged man flattered himself?
What does it mean?
Originally, everyone was chilled by a dead man coming up from the bottom of the well, and they wanted to leave here as soon as possible, but they were so frightened that their legs were a little weak, and they didn't dare to be left alone when they saw that others didn't move.
Second, Chen Guogong didn't speak, and he didn't dare to leave.
Leave quietly, no!
Find an excuse to say goodbye, no one wants to be this up-and-coming bird and add to the blockage of others.
At this moment, seeing that the little girl of peony did not have the slightest timidity in the face of such a situation, but was full of anger, and reprimanded Guan Jingqiu with righteousness and awe, which inexplicably made everyone feel at ease.
Ji Jun also felt Ji Chen's hand holding her tightly at this moment, and gradually relaxed.
Ji Jun secretly thought, this is called distraction in psychology.
I remember walking at night when she was a child, and she would talk to her children about some interesting or inconsequential things that happened at school during the day.
At this time, if you talk about some frightening topics, I am afraid that both of them will scream in fear and run away.
Sure enough, a bold little girl knocked a side drum for peony and asked,
"Sister Peony, what is the hanging ghost throwing flattering eyes?"
Ji Jun was a little worried at the moment, although she didn't know what this "hanged ghost flattering eyes" meant, but she knew that peony was definitely not good to use to describe Guan Jingqiu.
After all, this is in Chen Guogong's Mansion, if it is really investigated, Peony will probably be punished for being so open-mouthed as a maid.
Of course, she can't let Peony have something, but after all, it will be a little troublesome.
Peony squeezed her eyes at the little girl, and said mysteriously,
"There's a lot of knowledge in this, I can't explain it clearly for a while, and I'll tell you slowly in the future!"
The little maid was confused and nodded suspiciously.
At this moment, a maid next to her whispered a few words in the little maid's ear, and the little maid looked suddenly enlightened.
Then, under the questioning eyes of her young lady, she told her young lady in a low voice, and her young lady also showed a clear expression.
The young lady who knew the content of "The Hanged Ghost Throwing Flattering Eyes" whispered a few more words to the young lady next to her, and then the young lady next to her whispered a few words to the young ladies in front of her, and then spread it like a drum and passing flowers.
Soon, the young ladies present and even the maids who followed them all had a "so it is" expression, and some of the maids were so young that they couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker there.
The atmosphere eased a lot for a while.
It can be said that except for Ji Yun, Ji Xian and Guan Jingqiu who don't know what's going on, everything that should be known and what shouldn't be known is known.
And the two sisters of the Ji family looked indifferent, one was indifferent, and the other was a look that had been known for a long time.
Seeing this, Guan Jingqiu still didn't understand anything, and she also knew that what Peony said was not a good thing, but at this time, she couldn't ask Peony about it.
Entangled with this maid, how can you help your cousin get justice?
Guan Jingqiu looked at Chen Zhuoxin, Chen Zhuoxin had no expression on his face, but he could obviously feel that he was in a very bad mood, Guan Jingqiu didn't care about being afraid at the moment, she was even more afraid that Chen Zhuoxin would misunderstand, so she hated and said,
"There's no way I'm going to kill him!"
Peony does not back down,
"What is there for you to possibly kill him? Everyone is a guest at Chen Guogong's Mansion, and anyone is possible! Especially you! Could it be that you know this person? Or are you related to this person? Oh! No wonder you pulled left and right, and didn't let our eldest lady and grandpa Guo fill the well, it turned out that there was someone you knew at the bottom of the well! Hey? Since you know this person, why don't you just say that there is someone in the well, you are still making excuses left and right, is there any conspiracy between you and this person? Are you a thief shouting to catch a thief! In my opinion, it's just a self-confession! Make matters worse by attempting a coverup! β
A trace of fierceness flashed in Chen Guogong's eyes, and he shot at Guan Jingqiu. Guan Jingqiu played a clever game. The heart is not good, Chen Guogong is small-minded, and he holds a grudge.
In everyone's hearts, Chen Bing is a son-in-law, and he is a concubine, you have already robbed the position of the grandfather of the country, and on the day of people's great joy, it is really despicable.
Chen Zhuoxin is in an awkward position now, although he is powerful, he is not powerful in the DPRK after all, let alone covering the sky with one hand, so he still cares more about and takes into account his reputation.
Even if he doesn't care about his reputation, Chen Zhuoxin is not willing to "take the blame" for Guan Jingqiu.
Especially this pot is so unlucky!
Guan Jingqiu said urgently,
"That man is my cousin!"
As soon as these words came out, the friends were stunned!
Immediately, when everyone saw that she was so sure, they didn't doubt him, and after all, they had lost their lives, and they also forgave Guan Jingqiu a little for her rudeness.
But suddenly, Ji Xi spoke,
"Miss Guan, you didn't come forward to see this person, you didn't come to the autopsy, men, women and children don't know, how can you be sure that it's your cousin?"
Everyone suddenly came to their senses, and looked at Guan Jingqiu's gaze with a lot of emotion.
Guan Jingqiu didn't care much, and was anxious to clear herself,
"I know that dress, it's the material that my aunt bought for my aunt, and my aunt made it for my cousin!"
In fact, Guan Jingqiu should not call her aunt's sisters and nephews aunts or cousins, just because in the Great Zhou, if the concubine has made a greater contribution to the main family, especially the contribution that others can't reach, such as giving birth to children, or saving first aid, etc., the concubine will be treated favorably by the main family. or in name, or in the support of their relatives, and so on.
Especially like Guan Jingqiu's family, the son born to the concubine is the only son of the Shilang Mansion, and he will inherit the ancestral business in the future.
With such a contribution, Guan Jingqiu's biological aunt became a "noble concubine". The relatives of my aunt's family also rose accordingly, and their worth doubled.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for Guan Jingqiu to call "cousin".
When everyone heard this, they all gathered their eyes on the sisters of the Ji family.
At this time, everyone also roughly speculated in their hearts that it was very likely that Guan Jingqiu designed to frame the Ji family sisters, but he put his cousin in.
So the question arises, Guan Jingqiu can't kill her cousin by herself, so could it be Ji Jun?
And Ji Jun took the initiative to jump into the well, could it be that Ji Jun took the initiative to go down to the bottom of the well to kill Guan Jingqiu's cousin in order to protect Ji Chen's reputation, or in order to vent his anger for Ji Xun?
After Ji Jun came up again, he kept saying that he tried his best to help Chen Guogong fill in this dry well, did he want to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces?
Chen Zhuoxin looked at Ji Jun, not only did he have such thoughts, but he was even more convinced!
One of the women present is counted as one, and there will be no more than three who can kill people!
And the woman in front of her is definitely one of them!
Ji Jun let everyone's eyes wander on her, some were frightened, some were disgusted, some were afraid, and some were puzzled
Ji Jun didn't care at all, "hehe" sneered twice, and said,
"Cousins and cousins won't do anything with each other, huh? There are also brothers who kill each other, and fathers and sons kill each other! β
At this moment, a gust of wind arose, lifting the outer garment of the dead man, revealing a gray-black robe inside.
Ji Yan frowned slightly, thought of something, walked straight to the corpse, looked carefully, turned around and looked at Chen Guogong, and said,
"Grandpa Guo, in the middle of summer now, what man will go out wearing two robes?"
Chen Zhuoxin and Yin Hong glanced at each other, and they both saw from each other's eyes that they thought what Ji Chen said was reasonable.
Guan Jingqiu was also a little dumbfounded.
Today's men go out to meet guests, in order to show solemnity, there is a general robe with an undergarment, three layers inside and outside, isn't it going to die of heat?
Is her cousin so lacking in heart?
"Unlessβ" Ji Jun said slowly.
Everyone looked at her, and Ji Yun said unhurriedly,
"Unless, if you want to do something unseemly, you have to take off one thing and do a trick."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Guan Jingqiu, who was a little flustered, again.
Before Guan Jingqiu could speak, he saw that Mai Dong had already circled around the corpse before he walked close with Ji Chen, and Ji Tao suddenly said,
"Cousin, something seems wrong!"
Ji Jun was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked,
"What's wrong?"
The corpse was lying on the ground, and everyone looked down on it, but Chen Guogong and the housekeeper Yin Hong did not speak, and the little servants did not move the corpse again.
Ji Yan leaned down and observed carefully, and then Ji Yan raised her little face, her face was not good, she looked at Chen Guogong, and then at Ji Jun, a little hesitant,
"I saw that there seemed to be a corpse spot on this person's neck, and it didn't seem to have just formed, I remember that the servant of Dali Temple once told me that such a situation should be about two hours or even longer, but we arrived at the Guogong Mansion for more than an hour, right?"
