Gradually entering the late autumn, Cheng Yong's illness has improved, and Aunt Yu has finally been able to feel comfortable for a few days in the past six months, holding a bowl of Huaihua sugar steamed cheese and chatting with Qiaoxiu. When Yuan Xi entered the door with his personal maid Ling'er, they were smiling happily. Seeing Yuanxi coming in, Aunt Yu put down the bowl: "The third miss came just in time, I just got some Jin Junmei, the third miss tasted it." ”

There was a noise at hand, and a little girl with a raw face knocked over the bowl and was hurriedly cleaning it up. Her clothes didn't fit well, revealing a piece of her wrist holding a gold bracelet. Seeing Wonxi staring at herself, she timidly tore off her sleeves to cover the bracelet, bowed her head and retreated.

Ling'er also frowned, and she asked quietly, "Miss, why does the bracelet on the girl's head look a little familiar to me?"

Even Ling'er saw it, and it can be seen that his doubts are not superfluous. In the previous life, Won-hee had been dealing with antiques, and he could tell at a glance whether it was true or false. She saw that bracelet very clearly, and it was clear that the craftsmanship of the inner palace of the Kingdom of Qi - Eight Treasures and Silk Red Gold Bracelet! This thing is not only precious, but also rare, I am afraid that even Aunt Yu herself does not have it, how can it appear in the hands of the maid in her room?

Aunt Yu greeted her with a smile: "The girl is clumsy, so that the third lady laughs." ”

Qiaoxiu instructed someone to prepare tea, and he brought a plate of snacks from the tea room: "This is the begonia cake that has just been made, and I was about to send it to the third lady, but it happened to come, and it was still hot, so try it first." ”

Aunt Yu smiled: "Thanks to the good prescription you prescribed, your eldest brother has a lot of body." When your eldest brother recovers, I will ask him to bring tea to thank you. ”

Yuan Xi picked up a piece of pastry and said with a smile: "Auntie, we are brothers and sisters in the family, don't say such outrageous words." ”

After sitting for a long time, no one came to serve tea, Aunt Yu smiled and said: "These girls are strange, the third lady has been sitting for a long time, why don't you serve tea? Qiaoxiu, you go and urge." ”

Qiaoxiu went for a while, and led the girl in. She was holding a mahogany tray and didn't dare to come forward. Aunt Yu smiled and said, "Why are you standing so far away? Do you want your third lady to serve tea by yourself?"

"Look at her expression, as if I was a tiger and could eat her. Yuan Xi sneered: "Why are you cowering, is it difficult, what have you done to be afraid that people will know?" Although Yuan Xi's words were not in a hurry, they were like a sharp knife, stabbing straight to the point, and the maid buried her head lower.

Qiaoxiu took the teacup and said with a smile: "Huasui, this girl, has been here for so many years, and she is still so unruly." The third lady doesn't mind, she rushed Aunt Ming'er back to the old lady, so she had to be sent out. ”

As soon as Hua Sui heard that she was going to drive her out of the house, she hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Auntie, don't drive me out, the slave will turn into a cow and a horse in the next life to repay my aunt." ”

As she spoke, her soft hands half-poked out of her sleeves, looking more and more delicate. Yuan Xi put down the begonia crisp and said: "Yo Yo Yo, what a pair of white and tender hands." Come forward, I'll see?"

Aunt Yu responded: "Why don't you come forward and let the third lady take a look at you?"

Hua Sui gave birth to a pair of beautiful hands, shallot-like fingers, and two inches of red nails on the little finger. She rarely came forward before, so Won-hee never paid attention to her. Yuan Xi stared at Hua Sui's eyes and said word by word: "It's really rare for a girl to give birth to such a pair of beautiful hands." I thought Ling'er's hands were already very beautiful, but I didn't expect my aunt to be beautiful here. As he spoke, he secretly pinched a handful of Hua Sui's hand.

Hua Sui smiled in fear, and she retracted her hand in a sneer: "Third Miss, you have won the award, and the slave doesn't dare to be a slave." ”

Aunt Yu pushed the snacks on the table to Yuan Xi, and said, "No, I don't know if I'm still a young lady." She used to burn the stove in the tea room, but it was because of the beauty of her hands that she was allowed to enter the room to serve. If the third lady liked her, she would have taken her away*, but her creation. ”

Yuan Xi looked at Hua Sui coldly, and coldly rolled up her sleeves, revealing the yellow and clear gold bracelet, Hua Sui shivered, and fell to her knees: "This is the ancestral heirloom of the slave family." ”

Ling'er reprimanded: "Our third young lady didn't ask you, what are you anxious about?"

Aunt Yu looked at her in surprise, Hua Sui was just a poor girl, and her parents sold her to the house as a maid in order to repay her debts, where would such a thing be passed down from ancestors? Aunt Yu was a little angry: "Nonsense, your parents still need to sell you if they want this thing?"

As soon as Yuan Xi stretched out his hand, Hua Sui consciously took off the bracelet. Facing the light, Yuan Xi played with it for a while before saying, "If you want to say that you picked it up, maybe I will believe it." You must know that this is the ornament used by the court of the prayer country, and now the emperor has destroyed the prayer country, so that such things will flow to the market. You said it was ancestral, could it be that you are the remnant of the country?"

No crime is greater than the remnants of the enemy. Flower Spike shook her head a few times like a rattle, denying it. Yuan Xi sneered: "So, the thing is not yours, but stolen? This is easier to do, go to the official, and recruit everything with dozens of boards." Ling'er, go and call the nurse. ”

Ling'er got the order and ran straight out of Xianghanxuan. Hua Sui saw that Yuan Xi was really going to pull her to see the official, panicked, and cried and said: "The third lady spared me, this bracelet is not stolen, it is rewarded by the master, and the slave doesn't dare to lie." ”

"Rewarded?" Aunt Yu looked her up and down: "When have I ever rewarded you with something like this?"

Qiaoxiu replied and said: "That is, what great merit do you have, my aunt will reward you with such a thing? Where did you steal it, don't you recruit it quickly? Do you really want to go to see the official?"

Yes, the You family had asked someone to get more than a dozen gold utensils from the black market to pray for the country, and the other aunts in the Wei Mansion were all living in poverty, and they had no spare money to buy these, this must be You Shi's things! There were a lot of things in the girl's room to steal gold and silver, and she had such things, so she naturally didn't dare to stay in the room, so she carried them with her every day.

Yuan Xi fiddled with a hibiscus ice flower jade ring on his fingertips, and said coldly: "This is Aunt You's thing, don't look at me, I don't know." ”

Hua Sui's body trembled, no need to ask, Yuan Xi said to the point. Aunt Yu looked at Yuan Xi in amazement, and asked Hua Sui again: "Why did Aunt You reward you with things? What did she let you do? Say it quickly!"

Hua Sui lowered her head and didn't say a word, it's no wonder that it's not that she is loyal, but that You Shi is ruthless, if she knows that Hua Sui gave her up, I'm afraid Hua Sui's life will not be saved. But if you don't confess and are twisted to see the official, you will be beaten half to death. Hua Sui's nose was sour, and tears came out of her eyes: "Slave maid...... Slaves...... The slave didn't dare to say, and begged the third lady to spare the slave and maid, but the slave didn't dare anymore. ”

"Okay, I know if you don't say it. Yuan Xi dusted his sleeves: "I wanted to give you a chance to atone for your sins, but it seems that you don't need it." Later, I went back to the old lady directly, and said that you stole something, and put you on twenty boards and sent you to the government. With this bracelet, you should be beaten to a screed when you arrive at the government! If you don't recruit it, you will continue to fight again. You must have heard of the fate of Daoist Ma, you are such a prisoner and a thief, which is one more crime than him!"

"The third lady spares her life, the third lady slave and maid say, the slave and maid say everything...... The slave maid said that the third lady must save the slave maid's life. ”

Yuan Xi nodded indifferently.

Hua Sui wiped her tears: "It's Aunt You, and the bracelet is given by Aunt You." She gave the slave maid a packet of aconitum powder every month, and asked the slave maid to add it to the medicine of the eldest young master, if the eldest young master saw the third lady that day, he would add more medicine, and the eldest young master's illness would be a little worse. Aunt You bought off Daoist Ma again, and asked him to tell the clan elder that the third lady had defeated the eldest young master. ”

"What else?" Yuan Xi took advantage of the situation and splashed a bowl of tea on Hua Sui's face.

Hua Sui didn't dare to wipe the tea leaves on her face, and said while sobbing: "On the day of the beginning of autumn, Aunt You originally asked the slave maid to put the last medicinal powder in it and poison the eldest young master in one go. The slave was afraid that something would happen, so she only let half of it go, and later Zhao's mother found out, so she gave the slave a piece of silver and took back the medicine. ”

Aunt Yu trembled angrily: "Afraid that something will happen? So I have to thank you for your compassion!"

Yuan Xi comforted Aunt Yu while asking Hua Sui: "So, apart from this bracelet, you don't have any physical evidence?"

Flower Spike nodded fiercely.

This bracelet doesn't mean anything, with You's city, she can beat her upside down, saying that Hua Sui stole her bracelet and came to frame her. When the time comes, the clan elders will be a bunch of voices, and the father's ears will be soft, so maybe he will believe in You's family.

Aunt Yu's motherly face turned pale, and she couldn't stop trembling: "You Shi, I have no grievances with you, but you used such a vicious trick to harm my son." I'm going to fight for my life, and I'm going to break you to pieces!"

Yuan Xi secretly sneered, although Cheng Yong is a concubine, he is also the eldest son in the end, and in the future, he will have to share a large share of the family property. How could You Shi suffer such a loss? She had already killed Cheng Yong a thousand times and ten thousand times in her heart!

Aunt You looked at Hua Sui, she was even more angry, grabbed Hua Sui's hair and poked her face with a hairpin, the straight flower spike was dripping with blood, and the wolf cried ghosts, Aunt Yu stopped: "I treat you well on weekdays, is your conscience really a dog to eat?"

Aunt Yu is a kind person, even if she misunderstood Yuan Xi in the past, she had never lost her manners, this time she made such a dead hand to a girl, if she wasn't angry, she wouldn't have done this. Yuan Xi soothed: "Auntie is angry, now is not the time to be angry." It is imperative to take the flower spike to the grandmother and ask her to rule at the old man's house. ”

Aunt Yu put away her angry face, took Yuanxi's hand, and apologized with an apologetic face: "Aunt Yu was a little prejudiced against you before, and she fell for You's tricks, Third Miss, don't blame me." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "Whatever aunt says, as long as my aunt doesn't blame Yuan Xi for being reckless, Yuan Xi will be satisfied." It's not a trivial matter in front of us, we have to get our grandmother back. ”

Aunt Yu cleaned her hands with a handkerchief, stroked her fluffy sideburns and said, "I think the clan elders have a lot of prejudice against the third miss, and the third miss doesn't have to interfere in this matter, lest he have another incident." In the evening, I went to the old lady to say goodbye, and I took the flower spike directly, which was unexpected, but natural. ”
