Chapter 22 Evidence in Hand
The last rays of the sky are gone, the twilight is sinking and the night breeze is dry.
"What does Shinoshi want me to do?" He Zhi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"Big brother only needs to find the maids who were sold by the Fang Guo Mansion two months ago for me, and there is no need to ask serious people, most of them have been sold to those unclean places. But it must be fast, if Aunt Li really attacks her sister, I can't guarantee whether she can save her life. He Xiaoxiao smiled, revealing the pear vortex on his cheek. With her, I'll take care of the rest. β
He gladly agreed.
"Big brother, I will inform my father and mother of the final result when the matter is done." After hesitating for a moment, He Xiaoxiao said. "But Aunt Li is guilty of accepting that thing, and she will suffer some sin under her father's anger."
"My aunt deserves to be punished for her mistakes." He Zhi looked flat, smiled calmly and said. "As a son of man, I have done so much."
He Zhi moved quickly, and at noon on the second day, the green bee appeared in the Spring Heart Garden with a haggard face.
"Second Miss, this is the person you want." The girl's eyes were pushed to He Xiaoxiao by the green bee in panic. "This is her deed, and the eldest young master ordered me to hand it over to the second young lady."
"You've made a great trip." He Xiaoxiao said, and Tan Yin, who was standing beside her, handed a purse to the green bee. "Take it."
The green bee took the purse with both hands, and knew that the weight was not light.
No wonder the maids in the house want to enter the Spring Heart Garden to serve, this master is so generous.
After the green bee left, the girl was already slumped and sat on the ground.
"Tanyin, take her down to change into clean clothes first." He Xiaoxiao glanced at her lightly and said.
"Yes." Tan Yin stepped forward and helped the girl to her feet. "Don't be afraid, let me go down."
When Tanyin came back with the girl, He Xiaoxiao was sitting in the room drinking tea.
The girl had countless dark injuries on her body, and as soon as she entered the room, she staggered and knelt down in front of He Xiaoxiao.
"Your name is Lu Xue, and it turns out that you are a second-class maid beside Aunt Chen of the Fang Guo Mansion. Two months ago, Aunt Chen's brother died young, and you were beaten and sold by Fang Guogong. You actually didn't make any mistakes, but Duchess Fang Guo deliberately found a special person to sell you to the most pickled place. β
He Xiaoxiao pondered the past all night that day, but fortunately, Suyin beside her in her previous life was also a person who liked to inquire, and some clues about this matter were told to He Xiaoxiao by Suyin in her previous life.
"The first-class maids around Aunt Chen were all killed, and the four second-class maids who were sold with you are now the only ones left alive." He Xiaoxiao lowered his body and hooked his lips and chuckled. "I bought you and saved you, it's not plain and kind, you tell me something, I can keep you food and clothing for the rest of your life."
The girl shuddered, raised her head suddenly, and her eyes lit up instantly.
He Xiaoxiao looked at the two pieces of paper on the table and nodded with satisfaction.
"In the future, you will change your name to Green Yin and stay in my Spring Heart Garden." He Xiaoxiao looked at Songyin beside him and raised his eyebrows.
Songyin stepped forward to help Midori up.
"Get well and come to serve me again."
Lu Yin retreated with a thousand thanks, and Tan Yin handed the two things that Lu Yin had written down to He Xiaoxiao.
Probably even the Duchess Fang Guo didn't expect that in order to cover up the scandal and not make too much trouble to attract attention, she killed the first-class maids beside Aunt Chen, and sold the second-class maids to the end.
"Tanyin, you go and get the name card of the princess's mansion, let the porter put on the carriage, and you go out with me." He Xiaoxiao put away one of the things properly, took the other one and put it in his sleeve and stood up.
"Second Miss, do you want to wait for the Second Young Master to come back and accompany you?" Tan Yin said uneasily. "Or maybe the slave and maid bring some more people?"
"No need, it's troublesome to have a lot of people, you and I are enough." He Xiaoxiao
The carriage of the Chengenhou Mansion stopped outside the gate of the Fangguo Mansion, He Xiaoxiao took the name card of the Chengguo Princess's Mansion from Tan Yin's hand, folded the paper in his sleeve in half, and instructed Tanyin to send it to the concierge, saying that the second lady of the Chengenhou Mansion wanted to invite Miss Liao from the Fangguo Mansion to come out for a talk.
Tanyin had to obediently get out of the car to pass the word, and the porter looked at the emblem on the name card, and then looked at the emblem on the carriage of the Chengenhou Mansion, and then trotted in to pass the word.
"Second Miss, you said that you saw that piece of paper, will Miss Liao really come out?" Tan Yin stood by the carriage and asked as he looked at the movement in Fang Guogong's mansion.
"She will come out, if such a filthy thing is really spread, the reputation of the Fang Guo Mansion will be over." He Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and said with confidence. "The reputation of Fang Guogong's Mansion is bad, and I am afraid that if she wants to be a nun in the future, no nunnery will be willing to take her in."
After a while, the angry Liao Qing appeared in the door of the Fang Guo Mansion with the name post.
He Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction, lowered the curtain and retracted his body.
"Tanyin, go over and ask Miss Liao to get into the carriage for me."
Immediately afterwards, Liao Qingtie boarded the carriage with a blushing face, and He Xiaoxiao smiled at her.
"Sister Liao, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
"He Xiaoxiao, don't be too ghostly!" Liao Qing's fingers clasped the name post in his hand fiercely, and he couldn't wait to slap the name post on He Xiaoxiao's face.
"Isn't that what I should say to Sister Liao?" He Xiaoxiao sneered. "I haven't forgotten the Crazy Horse incident, Sister Liao went to my house to meet my father's concubine in private, isn't the person who is haunted Sister Liao? Where did my sister offend you, and it deserves to be chased and bitten like a maggot with a bone! β
Listening to the quiet in the carriage quickly, Tan Yin sat on the wheel and instructed the coachman to drive the carriage to the east fence tower.
The east fence building is also a famous restaurant in the imperial capital, the carriage stopped in front of the door, Tan Yin got off the car first and then set a private room, and then returned to the carriage to ask He Xiaoxiao to come down.
"Sister Liao, please." He Xiaoxiao got out of the carriage and turned around to urge Liao Qing.
Liao Qing was controlled by others, and no matter how unconvinced he was, he had to obediently get out of the car and follow He Xiaoxiao inside.
He Xiaoxiao sat down in the private room, and after waiting for Liao Qing to go in, Tan Yin closed the door and guarded the door after withdrawing.
"Sister Liao, it's weird to be tired from standing, sit down and talk." He Xiaoxiao picked up the teapot and shook it, took the cup and poured the tea to himself, and took a sip of it himself.
"He Xiaoxiao, don't be too proud, it's hard to distinguish the authenticity of the things in your hand, do you really want to rely on this piece of paper to pinch me?"
"Hard to distinguish between the real and the fake? Sister Liao, don't be naΓ―ve. He Xiaoxiao held a tea cup in his hand, looked at Liao Qing and said mockingly. Since you have obediently followed me, you have proved that what I have in my hand is true. β
