Chu Yuanshan listened to Chu Ping's words, and his heart really wandered a little, his own grandson himself could be trusted, but he was afraid that the Tao family girl was a disorderly woman, and he didn't know if he used some pickled methods to lure his pure-minded grandson, so he only said: "What's the matter with you and that Tao family girl?!" ”

Chu Ping frowned, glanced slightly sideways at Qiu Yue, who was waiting by the old lady's bedside, and vaguely guessed in his heart.

Chu Ping said calmly to Chu Yuanshan: "The matter of the Tao family girl has to start from the twenty-fifth day of the first month, when my grandmother was first sick, that day, the matchmaker Shao led the Tao family girl to the house to visit her grandmother and mother, but the white steward stopped them on the grounds that my grandmother was sick and my mother was not at home.

Shaw felt that it was disrespectful to the Tao family girl to eat the closed door soup for the first time, so he pleaded with the white steward again, but was humiliated by the white steward. ”

Qiu Yue heard Chu Ping say this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Chu Yuanshan: "Old lady, it's impossible, my father has been a steward in the Chu family for so many years, how could he speak to humiliate the visiting lady, and the uncle was not there at the time, he must have misheard the false accusations of others." ”

Qiu Yue's words are very reasonable, Chu Yuanshan knows Chu Ping, and he also understands Bai Zhaowen, who has been a housekeeper in his family for thirty years, it is impossible for him to not even handle this little thing well, and offend others, unless someone comes to mess around.

Chu Ping glanced at Qiu Yue, and was almost sure in his heart that she was playing right and wrong behind her back, Chu Ping originally guessed that Qiu Yue was interested in herself, and Bai Zhaowen would deliberately stop Tao Yao. Thinking of Qiu Yue's admiration for him, Chu Ping did not break this matter, but was secretly thoughtful and helped their father and daughter cover up the past.

He deliberately alienated Qiuyue these days, and no longer let her serve in personal matters, but also hoped that she could understand what she meant, and have less delusions, and when her mother came back, Chu Ping planned to let her mother tell Qiuyue a good family affair, add a box to her, and let her marry in a beautiful manner, which is also a master-servant relationship for so many years.

But who knows, she doesn't know what happened today, she actually made such a big scene, but she can't live because of her own sin.

Chu Ping sighed before he said to Chu Yuanshan: "Grandfather, I wasn't there when the Shao family came, and what I said was hearsay. ”

Chu Yuanshan gave a look, Forsythia had already gone out and instructed the maid to find someone, and after a while, the four little guys bowed in and looked at Chu Ping kneeling on the ground, where they dared to stand, they all knelt on the ground.

Chu Yuanshan asked, "Are you the little guys on duty in the outer courtyard that day?" ”

Two of them responded: "The slave was the gatekeeper on that day." ”

The other two said: "The slave was on duty that day." ”

Jiurong is also in it.

It was a coincidence that day, because Chu Ping was not at home, Jiu Rong was bragging nonsense with a few small guys in the upside down. also bumped into the beginning and end of what happened outside, and followed the excitement for a long time, only then did the mother-in-law pass the little guy who was on duty that day, and Jiu Rong pulled the little guy who was talking with him that day, and came with him.

One is to watch the play and figure out what is going on in the inner courtyard, and the other is to see if there is a chance to help Chu Ping speak.

Chu Yuanshan said solemnly: "On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, a girl from the Tao family came to visit, what happened in the outer courtyard?" ”

The four of them looked at Qiu Yue, who was kneeling in front of them, but they were also silent, if anyone sued the white steward here, I am afraid that the rest of the life will not be easy.

Chu Ping opened his mouth first: "Qiuyue, you led the maids and women here to retreat." ”

Chu Ping opened her mouth, and Qiu Yue didn't dare to openly disobey, otherwise, she would expose her Sima Zhao's heart too much.

Qiu Yue got up and led everyone out, but these four people looked at each other, their eyes still wandered, these four people testified to each other, if anyone said something more, it was difficult for the white steward not to know.

Chu Yuanshan didn't believe it originally, but now that he looked at the expressions of these four people, he was really suspicious: "Jiurong stays, the three of you go out, let Forsythia guard the door, no one is allowed to approach, the three of you stand outside the door, don't talk to each other, you have to come in one by one to reply after a while, if anyone has a different confession from the others, immediately beat the board and drive it out." ”

When the four of them heard this, they hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, and they didn't dare to say a word of falsehood.

The three of them withdrew, and Chu Yuanshan asked Jiu Rong to explain clearly what he saw at the door that day. Chu Yuanshan knew that Jiu Rong was Chu Ping's henchman, so he asked him to say it first, if he dared to favor Chu Ping, there was half a lie in his mouth, and the three people behind him could also be checked.

When Jiu Rong saw that there were no more outsiders here, he couldn't care about that much, and said everything that Bai Guan said that he could remember.

Chu Yuanshan and the old lady Xu listened to Jiu Rong's voice and color saying those ugly words in the mouth of the white steward that day, and their brows were furrowed, they really couldn't believe that these words came from Bai Zhaowen's mouth.

Chu Yuanshan finally asked, "What about the girl from the Tao family?" What did she say and do? ”

Jiu Rong replied truthfully: "The peach girl sat in the carriage all the time, without saying a word, until the white steward and Mrs. Shao started to move quickly, she got out of the carriage, stopped Mrs. Shao, persuaded Mrs. Shao to go home." ”

Chu Yuanshan twisted his eyebrows and listened, and scolded: "If there is half a lie, even he can't protect you." ”

Jiu Rong hurriedly kowtowed: "What the slave said is the truth, if there is half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky." ”

Chu Yuanshan ignored his gambling curse and sweared, and only ordered him to go out and call another guard to come in.

Although these people were reprimanded by the white steward that day, and they were not allowed to talk nonsense, but now that this old lady has been tried one by one, if everyone else tells the truth, they will tell a lie and find out themselves, it is a big thing to lose their jobs, and no one is willing to take this risk.

Besides, that Jiurong followed Uncle Chu Ping, and only then did Jiurong tell them, he also followed Chu Ping out this morning, and he went to the Chen family to make amends, what does this mean, the eldest young master of the Chu family is biased towards Mrs. Shao, and Jiurong is biased towards Chu Ping, so at least one of them has told the truth.

The three of them struggled outside the door for a long time, but in the end they couldn't stand it and chose to tell the truth.

Chu Yuanshan didn't believe Jiurong's words alone, but now that everyone is talking about it, he really can't believe it.

Chu Yuanshan only let the four of them stand outside the door and wait, and then said to Chu Ping: "Then what happened to you having a private meeting with her in the tavern?" ”

Chu Ping listened to the ugly words in Chu Yuanshan's mouth, and knew that if someone hadn't complained to his grandfather like this, his grandfather himself would never have said such a thing.
