Chapter Ninety-Four: Speaking Up
Huo Jiuge's call for help immediately attracted the attention of others, and when everyone arrived, they saw such a scene: Miss Huo was holding their young lady from the Wenguo Mansion in her arms, and both of them were soaked, as if they had just come up from the lake.
"My God! What's going on? A noble lady dressed in crimson cloud brocade looked at the scene in front of her and said dumbfounded.
Han Zan rushed over with the doctor at this time, he pushed aside the crowd and draped the clean clothes on the two of them, and then took Wen Yan from Huo Jiuge's arms.
Halfway through the feast outside, I heard the news that someone had fallen into the water, so a large number of people rushed to this side.
When Old Man Huo saw his granddaughter, his expression immediately became nervous, Huo Jiuge was shivering with cold at this time, and the moment she saw her grandfather, her eyes immediately turned red, and she said timidly in an aggrieved tone: "Grandpa, I'm cold!" ”
Seeing this, Wen Shizi immediately asked people to take her down to change into clean clothes, and then immediately found someone to go to the main hall for questioning, including the two old servants that Huo Jiuge asked Han Zan to catch.
"What the hell is going on? How could two young ladies with good looks fall overboard? What the hell are you eating all these people for? "Wen Shizi spent a lot of fire this time, today is his son's first birthday banquet that he finally looked forward to, it was originally a festive day, but now it has been completely destroyed, and he even lost such a big face in front of people.
However, the servants said that they were busy with the affairs of the banquet, and did not notice how the two young ladies fell into the lake, and the two old servants who pushed Wen Yan into the lake also mixed in with the crowd and said the same words as the others.
Seeing that her son's first birthday ceremony was ruined, Mrs. Ji's face flashed a trace of gloom, and seeing that her master was still worried about the murderer, she stood up and said: "Today's incident is just an accident, since the two young ladies are fine, why should the master be so angry?" ”
Hearing her say this, Old Man Huo's eyelids raised, as if he was dissatisfied with her words, but as a guest, he was not good at interfering in other people's affairs.
"This incident was not an accident!" Suddenly, a loud voice broke the deadlock, everyone looked back and saw Han Zan standing at the door, their brows flashed with doubts, only to see him stride across the threshold, walk to the front of the person and say to Wen Shizi: "And the two young ladies are not as unhindered as my aunt said, Miss Huo has been soaking in the lake for so long in order to save people, and she has suffered a lot of fright, and her cousin has not woken up so far, and her life is in danger!" ”
His words exploded in the crowd like a bomb, and although they were embarrassed to discuss it in front of their masters, they were now so focused on this matter that they had completely forgotten what they were here for.
Mrs. Ji's face was a little unbearable, and as soon as she wanted to speak, Han Zan pointed to the two old servants before and said, "When my cousin fell into the water, not only did they not go to save her in time, but they stood on the shore and stood by, and after I found out, they ran away in a panic. ”
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw the two trembling old servants in the crowd, and at this time they quickly knelt down and said, "Young Master, the old slave has been wronged!" ”
They shouted that they were wronged, saying that they didn't know how to water, and if they jumped rashly, not only would they not be able to save Miss, but even their own lives would be confessed there, and as for the escape in his mouth, it was even more misunderstood, they were in a hurry to find someone like this.
"Since the death of the eldest lady, it is the old slave who takes care of the young lady, I feel sorry for the young lady before it is too late, how can I harm her" The two old servants knelt on the ground and appealed, saying that it was not easy for them.
Both of them are scheming veterans, and Han Zhan, a man, naturally can't talk about them.
Seeing that he was about to be at a disadvantage, Huo Jiuge changed his clothes at this time, walked over and said, "If it's really like what the two grandmothers said, then please explain, why did I find this in Miss Wen's hands?" ”
When Huo Jiuge rescued Wen Yan from the water, he found that she was holding a placket in her hand, which looked like she was dragged off the murderer when she was pushed into the lake and struggling.
She handed over the evidence to Wen Shizi, and let him judge, then retreated to Old Man Huo's side and looked at the two grandmothers with the attitude of a bystander.
Wen Shizi held the placket in his hand, looked at the two grandmothers kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Who are you two about?" ”
Mama was instantly frightened and didn't dare to speak, and after looking at each other, she buried her head even lower.
The entire main hall was silent, and at this time, someone snorted coldly, and then spoke unhurriedly: "According to legend, Zheng Zhuanggong's mother Wu Jiang didn't like her eldest son, so she wanted to kill Chang Liyu, and her parents and children were still like this, let alone a stepson." ”
It was Pei Jingxing who said this, he stood quietly in the crowd, his eyes were slightly cold, and he had a majesty that was not angry and self-threatening.
Since Wen Yan's mother died, she has become the mistress of the entire Wen Mansion, not only did she quickly give birth to the two daughters of the Wen family, but she even gave birth to the only male grandson of the Wen family.
This grand first birthday banquet can also show that the Wen family attaches great importance to this male grandson, but at such a critical juncture, Wen Yan, the concubine of the Wen State Mansion, had an accident, and now her life and death are uncertain.
If the child's biological mother is still alive, how can this happen?
Ji's face turned pale suddenly, but because of the identity of the other party, she was not good at arguing with her, and Wen Shizi didn't dare to offend Pei Jingxing for her.
You must know that now he is a popular person around the emperor, holding great power, he has always been upright and cold, he doesn't like to be good friends with people, and he is also not afraid of offending people.
At this time, Wen Guogong spoke: "Give these two mothers-in-law who have abandoned the master to me and drive them out, my Wen family can't tolerate such wicked people." As he spoke, he pointed to the two girls beside him to Wen Yan, saying that let them take good care of her, if something like today happens, the mother-in-law and the girl in the entire Fangfei Courtyard will end up like these two mothers-in-law.
These words were like a muffled bell striking on Ji's heart, and it seemed that Wen Guogong was really angry this time.
Today's incident directly made the face of the entire Wenguo Mansion lose its face.
Even if the banquet continued, everyone had no temperament, so they could only end it hastily and then go home.
Just as Pei Jingxing was about to leave, someone stopped him, "Thank you for speaking up about today!" ”
Pei Jingxing turned his head, and on a shadow in the distance, he said to Han Zhan: "It's just a gesture, and the person you really want to thank is not me." ”
Han Zan knew who he was referring to, but if it weren't for Pei Jingxing's words, it was estimated that the two of them would have been fighting for a long time, and he didn't stop him for thanks.
Now the person in front of him is in charge of the entire Su Wei Division, if he can be remembered, the official road in the future will be easier to walk, but it is a pity that the other party did not stay longer, and after replying to his words, he left quickly.
