17. Testify and testify

After the second daughter finished speaking, she saw that Li Zhongming had no reaction, and at the same time, her face was cloudy and uncertain, constantly changing color, and she also understood that Li Zhongming must have determined the truth in it, and he must be repeatedly weighing the benefits and disadvantages in his heart for a while. After all, everyone in the mansion knows how much the lord favors Aunt Qin, and even many people in the mansion know it.

And the matter of the jade pendant is only extremely important to Gu Xuejian. As for the reputation of the Gu family, Gu Jing can also deal with the world's discussions and statements by severely punishing Gu Xuejian, so as to eliminate the influence. As for Gu Lingze, as the male son of the Gu family, the lord will definitely be partial, and the left and right are just severely punished. In addition, as long as the Qin clan pretends to beg and pretends to cry, it will definitely soften the lord's heart, and even if it is severely punished, it may be replaced by a method that covers the eyes of the world.

But this is very different for Li Zhongming. Compared with offending Gu Lingze and Qin, who are favored and favored, it is the wisest thing for Li Zhongming to stand by and watch. In general, the gains outweigh the losses when they come out to testify. And if you don't get out of it, you will avoid a lot of trouble.

On the one hand, there is a righteous conscience, and on the other hand, there are constant troubles, and this decision is really difficult to make at the moment.

Seeing that Li Zhongming didn't react for a long time, the second daughter, who was afraid that he was reluctant to come forward, hurriedly stated that if he was unwilling to come forward, then they would keep kneeling in front of his door and not get up until he agreed. Saying that, the two of them were about to get up and walk towards the door of Li Zhongming's room.

The behavior of the two really gave Li Zhongming a headache, he hadn't decided yet, let alone refused, why did the two of them react so much? It's a real headache. Seeing the two of them kneeling in front of the door again, Li Zhongming had to get up and come to the two of them to persuade them.

As he spoke, suddenly the young Danshu fainted directly. Seeing that there was such a situation at the moment, Li Zhongming hurriedly said to Lu Qi: "Miss Lu Qi, hurry up, quickly help Miss Danshu into the house, what's going on?" ”

However, Lu Qi did not move, but said: "Zhongming Langjun, I beg you, you can agree." I know that you are a benevolent gentleman, I have inquired, over the years in the mansion, you have helped the small servants around here. Even if you make a mistake, you will say a few kind words. What else do I know you're worried about? However, you are the only one who can help the three girls. Otherwise, the third girl will not only be severely punished, but her life's reputation will also be ruined. How will she gain a foothold in the world in the future, and how will she face the world's discussions? ”

Listening to Lu Qi's repeated pleading and rhetorical questions, Li Zhongming also sighed in his heart, thinking that he had been literate since he was a child, and he had been reading since he was a child. Although he knows that many things in the book may not be true, and may not be realized, but in the world, the grass and trees are autumn, is he just submissive and vain in life?

So what is the use of the truth that I have learned from reading for many years? And if you can't get used to it, why did you study in the first place? Is it just for the sake of taking the exam, getting an official and a half-job, just so that he is no longer poor? Could it be that his ambition is so vulgar and shallow, and he has been contemptuous all his life?

Thinking of their mother and master, if they knew that they were facing this matter, stood by and remained silent, would they think that they were already accomplices in aiding and abetting abuse?

And in the middle of the night, he dreamed of his father who died young, if he asked himself, did he do it right? Will he be able to live up to the big expectations he expects from him? What can I say? If he can really do nothing and stand by and watch, will he be ashamed of heaven and earth? Shamed on Jiuquan?

Thinking of all this, and then look at the woman who has fainted in front of her, and the other woman who is still gritting her teeth to support her master, they can all be loyal. So, is the self-proclaimed scholar as inferior to these weak women, and he no longer has the bloody courage to be a man? Do you want to hold back any longer? If you look at it coldly like this, will you scold yourself in your heart for being a gutless rat and a dog with a broken spine?

No matter what, even if it is not for the sake of such heavenly benevolence and righteousness, even if it is for the sake of peace in your heart, you should stand up.

After settling down, Li Zhongming came to the two women, saluted solemnly, and replied resolutely: "Girl, don't work hard anymore, I promise you, please hurry up." Now the important thing is to help Miss Danshu into the house first and see how she is. Do you need me to go to the house and ask for a doctor after I tell the chief manager? ”

Seeing that Li Zhongming finally agreed, just a few simple words, made Lu Qi cry with excitement. When I saw the two women, one fainted on the ground, and the other cried with joy, which shows that the two of them have really spent a lot of effort on this matter recently, and their loyal support for the monarch.

Helped Lu Qi put Dan Shu on the bed, and also poured her a cup of tea, listening to Lu Qi said, Dan Shu should not have fainted because of illness, but in recent days, he has been inquiring about the news of Gu Xuejian's affairs, running back and forth, plus today in this cold wind, she knelt for several hours, so that she was already young and weak and couldn't stand the fatigue and huge pressure of the days, so she suddenly fainted.

Hearing Lu Qi's explanation, Li Zhongming also relieved his heart. But after a while, Danshu also woke up. When they learned that Li Zhongming had agreed to testify, the two hugged each other and cried bitterly. After the two of them finished crying and cleaning up their emotions, Li Zhongming said: "Two, let's discuss how to act?" Just go directly to the sovereign, I'm afraid something is wrong? ”

Seeing Li Zhongming say this, the second daughter also understood what Li Zhongming meant, but she was afraid that the matter would expand and make it widely known, making the Gu Mansion laugh at the world, so she covered the lid and covered up the facts. In addition, if the Qin clan is pleading and sowing discord, this possibility will become very large. Because no matter what you say, Gu Lingze is also Gu Qian's son, compared to his daughter, Gu Gu will definitely be partial, maybe he will sacrifice Gu Xuejian to protect Gu Lingze.

After listening to Li Zhongming's worries and analysis, the second daughter had no idea for a while. Seeing that the second daughter was at a loss, Li Zhongming understood that he had to rely on his own planning for this matter, and said after careful consideration: "Two girls, according to my humble opinion, we should go to Da Langjun first, tell him the truth, and then Da Lang Jun will show the eldest lady, so that after the eldest lady learns, and finally tell the lord." In the end, it is up to the eldest lady and the lord to deal with the matter together. And Lingqing Langjun is upright and upright, and he is a friendly brother and sister on weekdays. I remember that the relationship between him and the three girls was excellent. In addition, among the Langjun girls in the mansion, he is the only one who dares to intercede for the third girl. If he heard the truth, he would definitely make the decision for the three girls. ”

Hearing Li Zhongming's reasonable, well-founded and meticulous steps, the second daughter also felt that Li Zhongming's method was the most appropriate. After all, they are six gods and no masters at the moment, and what they think is not as thoughtful as Li Zhongming, and Li Zhongming is a scholar after all, not only reading and reasoning, but also acting better than them. Therefore, both of them said that everything in this matter was mainly based on Li Zhongming, and the two were sent by him.

Seeing that the two girls didn't have any ideas, they let themselves have the final say. Under this attitude of trust, he let himself be anti-customer-oriented, which really made Li Zhongming really cry and laugh in his heart. After all, I originally planned to just come up with ideas and do assistance, but why everything suddenly became my own business, this change was so sudden, and I was even a little overwhelmed.

When did you have such a big charm? Li Zhongming couldn't help but ask himself. Retracted his gods, and seeing that the two daughters were looking at him, Li Zhongming continued: "Since both of you are willing to act according to the plan, then without further ado, let's set off to Yu Ming Lingqing Langjun."

So, the three of them carried a lantern and went out of the room, about to step out of the small courtyard. However, Li Zhongming suddenly remembered that piece of paper, should he bring this thing with him? He hesitated in his heart, and stopped under him. Seeing Li Zhongming stop suddenly, the second daughter asked, "What's wrong with Zhongming Langjun, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Oh, I just felt too dim to carry a lantern, and I wondered if I could add another one? Forget it, you two will stay here for a while, and I'll go back and get another one", after speaking, the second daughter didn't agree, so she hurriedly found a reason and hurriedly walked back.

Looking at Li Zhongming's hurried figure, Dan Shu couldn't help but whisper worriedly: "Sister Qi, did you say that Zhongming Langjun was afraid?" Regretted it? If that's true, what are we going to do? The girl is still waiting for us to save her? Thinking about the cold appearance of the Buddha Hall, it has been many days, and I am afraid that she will not be able to hold on. And will Zhongming Langjun sneak away? ”

Seeing Danshu's anxious appearance, although Lu Qi, who was also in a hurry in his heart, still pretended to be calm, comforted Danshu and said: "Danshu, Zhongming Langjun is a good person and a gentleman. We have to believe in Him and believe that He will come back. ”

"But, it's ......," Danshu replied. Seeing Dan Shu's anxious incoherent and helpless appearance, Lu Qi stroked her and continued to comfort: "Danshu, you have to know that even if Zhongming Langjun doesn't come back. We shouldn't blame him, after all, this matter, once involved, is too troublesome. Imagine if we were in the position of Zhongming Langjun, would we have the courage to take that step? ”

"But what about the girl, she is still waiting for us to save her." Danshu hurriedly replied, "No, I'm going to find Zhongming Langjun, I want to ......."

As he was talking, when Lu Qi was about to lose Danshu, Li Zhongming had already walked quickly, but when he saw the two of them pulling me, he couldn't help but ask questioningly: "Two, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, nothing, we're kidding." , The second daughter quickly changed her body shape and complexion, and hurriedly explained.

There is no need to think about it, Li Zhongming also understands what is going on, it is nothing more than that the two thought that they had run away, so they disagreed and quarreled.
