Chapter Forty-Seven: The Maid Turns Against the Water
Mingyue couldn't stand such torture, so she soon fainted, and Mama Zhang went to ask the Qin family when she saw this.
"Wake her up, let me continue!" The Qin clan transferred all their hatred for Huo Jiuge to Mingyue, so they didn't leave any affection at all.
A basin of cold water was splashed down, Mingyue opened her eyes, and suffered several stitches, the hands that were good at embroidery were completely ruined, she no longer had any strength to struggle, she could only watch the needles pierce into her skin, and even her breathing involved her internal organs.
When she was about to hold on, the Qin family said slowly: "It's okay, leave her alive." ”
Although I don't know how Huo Jiuge saw through her plan, but since Mingyue is already a person from Hexiang Academy, she is naturally responsible for anything that happens, she will not let her have a good time, absolutely not!
The next day, when Huo Jiuge was sitting on the dresser and dressed up by Qiu Chan, the housekeeper brought Old Man Huo's dictation.
"Please come with me to the main hall, the master has something important to discuss with you!"
Qiu Cicada, who was combing Huo Jiuge's hair, was shocked, Mingyue didn't come back all night last night, and now the master is so anxious to call his own lady over, I'm afraid that there won't be any trouble.
Compared with her nervousness, Huo Jiuge seemed much calmer, and she said to Qiu Chan: "It's okay, you can dress up for me first." ”
"But miss." Qiu Chan was still a little worried, the things they did last night could be said to have completely offended the Qin family, and Mingyue was the person who was stuffed by the Qin family and disappeared all night, which is difficult to say that there is no connection.
Huo Jiuge took out an object from his dresser, handed it to Qiu Chan and said, "Later, you will take this thing to Anrentang to find the shopkeeper there, and then take him to Huo Mansion, as for the rest, I have my own way." ”
Her calmness somewhat relieved Qiu Chan's nervousness, in order not to delay time, Qiu Chan hurriedly combed a simple hairstyle for her, and when Huo Jiuge and the housekeeper left the Lotus Courtyard with their front feet, Qiu Chan's back feet went to Anrentang.
After passing through the long pavilions and pavilions, Huo Jiuge arrived at the main hall, and at a glance saw the bright moon that had disappeared all night, and on either side of her stood the Qin mother and daughter who had been splashed with dog blood by her last night, and the old man Huo stood in the middle of the crowd.
After seeing Huo Jiuge coming, Old Man Huo asked Mingyue to repeat what she had just said to him.
"Back to the master, I was the maid next to Miss Five, and Miss Five asked her to hand over the autumn cicada next to her to the slave maid sachet early yesterday morning, and asked the slave to think of getting the contents on the eldest lady."
Mingyue always lowered her head very low, and she didn't dare to look up at the person in front of her, and she couldn't stop trembling all over.
Hearing Mingyue's words, Huo Qingshang hid his face and cried: "I have always treated Jiu Ge as my own sister, but I don't know how to offend you and make you hate me so much."
Huo Ren was wearing an official uniform and had not yet changed out, and as soon as he heard the news here, he couldn't wait to rush over
Seeing this, Huo Qingshang immediately cried even more miserably: "Father. Qing Shang was so bitter when he was killed."
Huo Ren attaches great importance to Huo Qingshang's daughter, after all, she is her first child, and she is so beautiful, as the first talented woman in the capital, she doesn't know how much light she has fought for herself, so when he knew that his daughter was wronged by others, he rushed over as soon as possible.
"Huo Jiuge!" Huo Ren comforted the daughter in his arms, and turned his head to look at Huo Jiuge angrily: "Qingshang is your cousin, how dare you frame her like this?" Isn't there a hint of sisterhood in your eyes? ”
Huo Ren scolded her loudly, and threatened to teach her a good lesson for her eldest brother, an unfilial girl! But Huo Jiuge stood motionless, her expression was calm, and her eyes calmly looked at the scene in front of her.
It wasn't until Huo Changqing stood up and asked Old Man Huo to drive her out that she interrupted him with her words: "Please don't make any conclusions casually, after all, you can threaten grandpa if you don't take the imperial examination, but you can't threaten me."
"You!" Huo Changqing was so angry by her words that his face turned red, that sentence was said by him in anger, and in retrospect, he felt that he was impulsive, but the words he said were like water spilled out, he didn't expect Huo Jiuge to bring up the old things again, and he couldn't get off the stage in public.
He turned to Old Man Huo and said, "Grandpa, you see, what an uneducated girl she is, not only committed such a wrong thing, but even refused to repent, and asked Grandpa to punish her severely!" ”
"When my cousin committed a crime before, you tried your best to say good things for her, why is it that you are here, but your family asks your grandfather to punish me severely, is this what you said about treating me as a family?" Huo Jiuge smiled sarcastically, and then continued: "Just one girl wants to condemn me, this is a little too ridiculous!"
"Now that the human and material evidence is there, what else do you have to quibble?" Huo Changqing pointed to Mingyue and said, "She is your maid, can what she said be false?" ”
Huo Jiuge's gaze swirled around Mingyue's body, and then ordered her to raise her head.
Mingyue didn't dare to disobey, so she could only raise her head, and with her action, the scar on her forehead was also exposed, and at that time, the Qin clan hit it with a teacup, because she didn't dare to dodge, so it hit her left forehead directly, and it was an obvious red mark.
Seeing this, Huo Jiuge asked, "You weren't on an errand all night last night, where did you go?" ”
"I" Mingyue couldn't say a reason for a long time.
Seeing that she couldn't answer this question, Huo Jiuge changed it again: "What's the matter with the injury on your head?" Could it be that he was beaten? ”
When Huo Jiuge was talking, her eyes kept staring at the Qin family, but as an old fox, the other party would not show her feet at all, she was still comforting her daughter, saying that the old man would definitely return her innocence, and at the same time, he would severely punish those who hurt her. Huo Qingshang looked like a weak little white flower, and nodded in his mother's arms.
The two mothers and daughters sang and harmonized Huo Jiuge to death.
"It was the slave who accidentally fell." Mingyue said scaredly.
"Where did you fall? When did you fall? Huo Jiuge asked her two questions one after another.
Huo Changqing on the side thought that she was delaying time, or using her identity to force Mingyue to change her words, he said: "I advise you to confess your guilt, don't waste time!"
Huo Jiuge smiled faintly: "As the son of Yushi, cousin, don't you know that in the real handling of cases, interrogating witnesses is also a very important link?" ”
Her sharp-toothed Huo Changqing was speechless, and could only stare at Huo Jiuge viciously, wanting to have her own eyes to force her back.
But Huo Jiuge continued to interrogate indifferently: "You said that I asked you to frame my cousin, so what is my intention in doing this?" ”
How did Mingyue know what her intentions were, so she could only make one up: "Because you envy the eldest lady for being better looking than you, and then there are so many people's love."
Huo Jiuge, who listened to her for this reason, laughed.
"Just because I envy me, do I let you hurt others? If Huo Jiuge is really such a small-bellied person, wouldn't all the women in the world suffer? ”
"It's just a pair of skins, no matter how good-looking it is, it can't compete with the waste of time, why should I do such a dirty thing for the sake of a face? The person who taught you to say this kind of thing not only underestimated me, Huo Jiuge, but also underestimated the woman in this world! Not all women, like her, only pay attention to the appearance of their faces, and forget about their inner cultivation. ”
Huo Jiuge's eyebrows are delicate, she looked low and pleasing in the past, and she looks like a soft persimmon that is very easy to handle, but at some point, she changed her cowardly character, and the perseverance in her eyes made people dare not look directly.
