Chapter Eighty-Seven: Scolding
The old lady asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?"
Chen Rui was stupid at the moment, and he knew that he wanted to calculate Miss Xiahou, but he was calculated by Miss Xiahou in reverse.
The person who is in the same room as himself should also be a young lady, but I don't know who this unlucky young lady is, and it must be inappropriate for me to bite the eldest lady now, so I just don't explain it vaguely, and see how things develop.
Flashing thoughts, he said: "Student Chen Rui is a talent who entered Beijing to catch the exam, today I saw that the house was holding a birthday for the old lady, and came in after greeting the steward, and when I was full of wine and food, I strayed here and lay down to rest, but I don't know when this young lady arrived at Xiaosheng's side." After saying that, he folded his hands and bowed.
The old lady stared at Chen Rui tightly, and did not let go of the slightest expression, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, she said with an unpredictable expression: "Go and call me all the stewards who greeted me at the door today, and let me see who is so bold as to let outsiders in without permission!"
The person at the door answered, and after a while, three stewards came, and the old lady asked Chen Rui to come forward to identify, Chen Rui pointed to Steward Lin: "He let me in." ”
The old lady asked the other two to leave, and asked with a gloomy face and an unkind face, "Manager Lin, what this person said is true?"
Steward Lin's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but shudder, didn't he say that he wouldn't be implicated, why did he expose himself so quickly, he knew that he shouldn't have gotten on Madame's thief ship!
His eyes secretly glanced at Lin, and just happened to be seen by Lin, Lin's heart trembled and said: "The old lady asked you, but it is not as good as the truth, if there is any concealment, you and your son will be beaten out of the mess!"
When Steward Lin heard his wife mention his son who worked in the shop, he knew that if he confessed to his wife now, he would not let him go, and maybe he would affect his wife and children if he returned it.
In his heart, his eyes flashed and said: "The slave should die, this person said that he wanted to enter the mansion to congratulate, but the slave saw that he did not pay a respect, and he didn't want to let him in." ”
"It's just that this person said that he wanted to enter the palace to see the second master worship under his door when he went to Beijing to catch the exam, and begged bitterly, and the slave saw that he was pitiful, so he relented for a while and let him in. ”
"The old slave should be damned! If he had known that such a disaster would happen, he would not have been let in. ”
Steward Lin cried a handful of snot and tears, crawling on the ground and begging for mercy, Xiahou Lin was furious after hearing this, and directly came up and kicked over and scolded: "You old thing, you said the day before that you can't enter the house without a prayer post, you take everything as a deaf ear, what's the use of leaving your dog's life!"
shouted to the outside world: "Someone." Lin Jun took a few guards and dragged Steward Lin down.
At this moment, Xiahou Shuang walked in from the door, and Lin blurted out when he saw her, "How did you come in from the outside?"
Xiahou Shuang saw this situation and replied: "I heard someone in the garden coming to report that I was startled, and hurried over, grandmother, what is going on?"
The old lady snorted coldly and said, "What is going on, I still need to ask her!"
Chen Rui saw Xiahou Shuang's calm and generous face, there was no slightest panic on his face, and he was a little worried about her bright eyes, he didn't expect this Xiahou eldest lady to be so means, and she saw that she was falling into a disadvantage, but easily solving herself in a laughing conversation created a lot of trouble.
Chen Rui was afraid that she was talking about her blocking the road, who knew that Xiahou Shuang didn't say a word, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiahou Yan saw Xiahou Shuang wake up violently, her eyes seemed to be about to spark and said, "Did you do it?" Did you put me here after knocking me unconscious?"
Listening to Xiahou Yan's question, Xiahou Shuang said with surprise on her face: "How could the third sister say this, a mother-in-law in my yard said that a young lady broke her foot on the road, but I came over but never saw anyone, and then left, and has been accompanying several young ladies in the Zhang Mansion and Tongfu in the garden, they can all testify, I don't know if the third sister has any misunderstanding about me, and can say such a thing." ”
"Enough, you have not been out of the cabinet of young ladies were found to be in a foreign man's bed, or on my birthday, let our Xiahou Mansion become a joke in the capital, you still have the face to bite your sister now!"
The old lady rebuked bitterly: "Come on, send the third lady back to Cuizhuxuan, and in the future, without my permission, she will not be allowed to step out of the hospital door for half a step!"
Hearing the news, Qiao'er stood timidly in front of Xiahou Yan and said, "Third Miss, let's go back." ”
Xiahou Yan raised her hand and slapped Qiao'er aside, and shouted: "I won't go back, it's obvious that Xiahou Shuang is harming me, but you can't see it, one by one, the heart is blind, blinded by this vicious woman, and he favors her one by one!"
The old lady breathed rapidly, pointed at Xiahou Yan and said, "Wicked girl, drag her away......"
Lin heard Xiahou Yan's words and hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth, but unfortunately she was a step late.
The two Xiahou Lin brothers frowned dissatisfiedly, this niece was really spoiled and lawless, with an arrogant and domineering personality, and she even spoke disrespectfully to many of her elders.
Seeing that the old lady was going to lock up Xiahou Yan, Lin knelt on the ground and cried: "Please mother listen to Yan'er's words, no matter how stubborn she is, she will never have a private meeting with a foreign man, not to mention that she doesn't know this person at all." ”
The old lady calmed down and felt that this matter was a little strange, and waved her hand to let the person who was pulling Xiahou Yan retreat, and said, "Then you will tell me about today's events in detail." ”
Xiahou Yan said that she heard a private talk about the maid, and later when she arrived here, she was knocked unconscious from behind.
"Stupid! His Royal Highness Taisun was called away by the attendants of the East Palace not long after passing the holy decree, and even if he is still in the mansion, he is not something that can be seen by a maid in a whisper! If you are not lying, or someone has dug a trap for you, such an obvious thing is really a head for nothing!"
Xiahou Yan couldn't raise her head when she was scolded by the old lady, and suddenly remembered that Hongxiu was knocked unconscious with herself at that time, and shouted: "My maid Hongxiu can testify for me." ”
Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Xiahou Lin shouted directly: "Someone!"
A guard came in from outside the door, and Xiahou Lin ordered: "Bring the maid beside the third young lady." ”
The guards were ordered to leave, and it didn't take long for him to come back with a panicked look and report: "Second Master Qiqi, a female corpse was found in the well, and it was found to be the maid Hongxiu next to the third lady!"
"What?!" everyone in the room was shocked, and the old lady stood up: "Go and see!"
Xiao Yunfei on the roof glanced at his cousin: "Things are getting more and more interesting, should we also take a look." ”
"Let's go!" Xiao Xinrong took the lead and jumped off the roof, Xiao Yunfei touched his nose and jumped down.
