Ju Xiang kowtowed with tears in her eyes and cried: "On the day that the fourth miss fell into the water, the third miss and the eldest young master came to visit the fourth miss, and when they heard the fourth miss say that there were ghosts in the water, the two masters chatted casually, saying that the ghosts in the water were eighty percent of the flowers and spikes. The more Miss Four listened, the more frightened she became, and she had nightmares in the middle of the night. The fourth lady said that she knew who was the murderer of Hua Sui, and Hua Sui would not let her go. That's why I bought incense, candles, and paper money......"

Yuan Jie was so hated that she almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, and when she pounced on her, she hit Yuan Xi and scolded: "It's all instigated by you, I know that you promote petty sex, you have to kill me, I'll fight with you!"

"Third sister!" Cheng Yong suddenly rushed into the room, grabbed Yuan Jie's clothes and struggled back, and Yuan Jie fell to the ground on her back. Cheng Yong said angrily: "You did a stupid thing yourself, now that the East Window incident has happened, you don't tell the truth quickly, and you dare to act in front of your father, what kind of system do you become?!"

Cheng Yong knelt down and said: "Father, what the fourth sister said by the lotus pond was also heard by the child, and the fourth sister personally said that the flower spike was killed by Aunt You's people." Father, a girl drowned in no apparent terms, there must be an explanation in the house. What the fourth sister said was true or false, and asked someone to call Aunt You to ask and find out. ”

Wei Dongshu trembled angrily, he looked at Yuan Jie angrily, and shouted: "Why did You Shi kill Hua Sui, if you don't say it, hang it up and fight!"

Yuan Jie had never seen her father make such a big fire, so she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with her knees weak, and cried: "Father spare his life, father, my daughter really doesn't know, my daughter overheard Mother Zhao say to Aunt You that she had already made the flower spike." Other daughters really don't know, please ask their father to find out. ”

Wei Dong slapped a few times on the table angrily: "Bring me You Shi!"

Before the words fell, You Shi had already entered the door, she was wearing a plain dress, and she was followed by Mother Zhao with a blue face behind her. You Shi didn't say a word, and knelt down when he entered the door: "Master, the concubine is at fault, and I have come to ask the master for guilt." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Wei Dongshu calmed down, sat down and took a sip of tea.

"The concubine is guilty of poor discipline, and she specially asks the master for the guilt?" You Shi said, kowtowing indifferently.

This kowtow confused Wei Dongshu, and he said in surprise: "Poor discipline? I'm afraid it's more than that, right?"

You Shi glanced at Zhao's mother, the slave was very smart, knelt and rubbed at Wei Dongshu's feet, grabbed Wei Dongshu's robe, and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy: "Master, it's all the slaves who eat and get lost, it's all the slave's fault, and the slaves have come to ask the master for their guilt." ”

Wei Dongshu glanced at Yuan Xi and asked Zhao's mother again: "What are your crimes?"

Mother Zhao raised her head slowly, her face was already full of tears: "Back to the old man, Hua Sui was killed by a slave maid." ”

Wei Dongshu chuckled in his heart, and he paced around the flower hall a few times in a row.

Mother Zhao cried: "Master, it's all the slave's fault, that day the slave heard Hua Sui and others say bad things about Aunt You, and the slave and maid were heartfelt, so they stepped forward to distinguish a few words. That flower spike was a celebrity in front of Aunt Yu, but she didn't take the slave maid in her eyes, and scolded Aunt You a lot of dirty words in front of the slave and maid. The slave and maid were angry for a while, so they gave the little maid five taels of silver and asked someone to drag her into the lotus pond. It's all the slave's fault! If you want to punish me, punish me alone!"

You Shi also shed tears: "Master, it's okay to be disciplined by the concubine, you still take the power of my housekeeper, the concubine is willing to green the ancient Buddha and atone for Mother Zhao!"

Cheng Yong had a calm face and glanced at Yuan Xi, who also looked at the two of You's master and servant lightly, their love for children was very serious, but they completely left her drugged Cheng Yong. Not to mention that Hua Sui's death has become a personal vendetta, Zhao's mother has also become a hero who protects the Lord. It's ridiculous!

Wei Dongshu's attitude gradually softened, if this is the reason, it is not as hateful as before, if you want to say wrong, it is Hua Sui's fault first. Secretary Wei Dong took a breath and said, "Since this is the case, you should get up." ”

Cheng Yong was depressed in his heart, a bloody life, and he was also implicated in a young master and a young lady in the house, but he was dissolved by You Shi so lightly.

Yuan Xi suddenly knelt down and said, "Father's words are wrong. You Shi's lips twitched, and a murderous intent appeared on her face in an instant, and she immediately retracted it.

Yuan Xi said with a straight face: "Father, no matter what Hua Sui said before her death, the national law and family rules are here, why did Mother Zhao execute Hua Sui privately? Let me ask, if I say something to my eldest brother in the future that upsets my aunt, will Mother Zhao also do the same? No matter how unruly Hua Sui is, in the end, it is a human life, you let Mother Zhao go so easily, and in the future, those servants and maids have personal enmity between them, and they all quietly killed each other, and they all said that it was for the good of the master, is there still a rule in this Wei family?"

Wei Dongshu's face became more and more gloomy as he spoke. You Shi was resentful in his heart, and glanced at Yuan Jie, it was all made by this idiot, but now he shrank aside like a nobody. You Shi and Yuanxi looked at each other for a while, and resolutely knelt down: "Master, what the third lady said is reasonable, and please punish the master severely." ”

Wei Dongshu is a decisive figure in the business field, but when it comes to family affairs, he is always ruthless. He hesitated, waved his hand, and said to You Shi: "Forget it, you get up." ”

"Who said this is over?"

Everyone followed the prestige, Aunt Yu helped the old lady into the flower hall, You didn't dare to say more, bowed his head and knelt down. Yuan Xi saw that the old lady was full of seriousness, and knew that Aunt Yu probably told the old lady all about the flower sui.

When Wei Dongshu saw his mother coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, but the old lady pushed his hand away with a cold face, and Wei Dongshu stayed in place. The old lady sat down slowly, holding her string of rosewood Buddha head prayer beads in her hand, and said solemnly: "Such a big matter, do you still want to hide it from me, and end it so hastily?"

Wei Dongshu was a little embarrassed, and said: "The son didn't mean that, and the mother was in charge of this matter." ”

"You Shi, did you know about this beforehand?" Although the old lady's voice was faint, to You Shi, it was like a thunderbolt. Before You Shi could speak, Mother Zhao had already rushed to the front, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Ancestor, you know that this matter is the idea of the slave and maid alone, and my aunt didn't know anything beforehand." In the past few years, my aunt has been working hard in the house, don't blame her. ”

Her remarks made the old lady's face more and more embarrassed, and she slapped the rosary on the table with a snap, and said sarcastically: "The master hasn't spoken yet, when will it be a slave's turn to come out and interject." You Shi, are all the rules in your room dead?"

You Shi was no longer dissatisfied, but now he didn't dare to fight with the old lady, and lowered his head with an apologetic face and said: "What you said is that the old lady is that the daughter-in-law has no way to discipline her, and you will punish the old lady alone." It's just that Mother Zhao is old, and she is an old man in our house, so it's not easy to make a big deal if she does such a hurtful thing, and I beg your old man to have mercy. We solve it behind closed doors in our own house, which is the great kindness of your old man. ”

The old lady's face softened slightly, and she glanced at Zhao's mother and said, "Since this is the case, how to punish it, you can say it yourself." ”

You Shi glanced at Zhao's mother, gritted her teeth secretly, and said tentatively: "My daughter-in-law is willing to punish herself with monthly money for one year to atone for her sins." ”

The old lady sneered and looked at You Shi with disdain: "If you kill a person alive and lose a hundred taels of silver, do you think about it? You look at me, I don't know, the twenty taels of silver for the funeral of Hua Sui were not swallowed by you? You are really an abacus of urine and mud." ”

The old lady has always been gentle and elegant on weekdays, and has never said such foul words, but today she looks really angry, and she is suffering from no evidence. You Shi simply paid to the end and replied: "It's all the daughter-in-law's fault, and the old lady is in charge." ”

The old lady twisted a few Buddha beads and asked, "Do you have any complaints about the monthly money that fined you for three years?"

Three hundred taels of silver is not a small amount for three years, You Shi gritted his teeth and did not dare to refute, and said with a smile: "Old lady, you are lenient, and your daughter-in-law is very grateful." ”

When the old lady caught a glimpse of Mother Zhao, her face changed suddenly, and her voice became cold: "As for this ruthless Diao slave, it is unforgivable! Dare to kill a person for a few words, and don't teach her a lesson, I think she doesn't understand the rules and the law! Come on, call the nurse and drive this Diao slave out of the house, don't hire her!"

"Ancestor, you spare the slave and the maid, you spare the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid are old, if they are driven out now, I am afraid that there is only one way to die. Old lady, you are kind-hearted, just spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid will not dare again!" Before Zhao's mother finished speaking, she had already kowtowed more than 20 times, and when she raised her head again, there was a blood stain on her forehead.

Yuan Xi snorted playfully, and Cheng Yong also subconsciously hooked the corners of his lips. You Shi cried: "Old ancestor, you are angry, presumably Mother Zhao really knows that she is wrong, please spare her this time." ”

The old lady looked at You Shi, she was really angry, but she also knew that Mother Zhao was just a scapegoat. The old lady said with a cold face: "The master who kills people must not be spared! In my opinion, I can beat her a few boards, and if she can't be killed, there is no need to drive her out." Come on, drag the Zhao family out to beat fifty boards, and then call the big and small servants and maids in the house to watch in the courtyard to set an example. ”

Fifty boards, Won-hee couldn't help but smile. The board of the Wei family is no less than the killing rod of the head of the Yamen, twenty boards are enough to make her skin open, and forty boards are broken muscles and bones, I am afraid that Zhao's mother will not be able to help You Shi with bad ideas for a long time. Without waiting for Zhao's mother to beg for mercy, the two homekeepers had already dragged her out.

There was a muffled sound of a heavy board hitting the flesh in the courtyard, Zhao's mother was afraid of face at first, gritted her teeth and endured the pain, after more than a dozen boards, she held the board to the wound, she couldn't help it anymore, and cried her father and mother. You Shi's heart couldn't hide in a panic, and every time the board hit, You Shi trembled, as if the board fell on him.

"You Shi, are you not convinced?" The old lady twisted the Buddha beads in her hand and closed her eyes to recuperate, the more miserable the screaming outside, the more quiet she became.
