Chapter 30: Sharp-toothed, wise and quiet to decide the case

"Second wife, what do you say?" Old Mrs. Xu looked at Zhou.

Before Zhou could speak, the two men came up again, knocked their heads on the bluestone brick floor, and cried and said, "Madam, I am wronged. The third girl is young and has been deceived. The slaves did not betray their master... Woo woo..."

Zhou started to hesitate again. After all, these two were old men from the Zhou family, so she asked Jinghe: "You can be sure, don't be sowed by someone who is interested."

If this is not her biological mother, Jinghe swears not to talk nonsense to her. She knows that this mother is stupid and innocent, and at the same time, she believes in her own way. If she says something wrong, she will just say it to her, which is useless. She was thinking about her ideas in her mind, and then she heard Jingyi's voice say: "Grandmother, granddaughter has two words, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Old Mrs. Xu's face cleared a little and nodded.

Jingyi looked at everyone in the room first, and his eyes fell on Jinghe: "Although the third sister is not strict in control, she is still young. Today, she has suffered this shock, so she still asked the third sister to get up and say it."

It has been more than half an hour since she left the palace. Old Mrs. Xu's anger at the fact that the second wife almost ruined the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion gradually subsided, and reason slowly occupied the high ground. Jinghe's approach today was relatively to a twelve-year-old child. She really tried her best. If she couldn't hold on at that time and attended to stop Mrs. Feng, the master and servant would quarrel in public, even if the princess was willing to help cover it up, it would be embarrassing.

If you want to blame her, she is such an uncontrollable mother. But who can choose to reborn as a child? Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Xu's tone became softer and said to everyone: "I'll sit and say it."

Mrs. Feng subconsciously wanted to get up, but the thick woman behind her twisted her arm and pulled it, and then stuffed a piece of rotten cloth into her mouth, and her eyebrows and eyes were frowned in pain.

Seeing that Jinghe was holding Zhou, Jingyifang slowly walked to the old lady, turned around to face Feng's wife, and said loudly: "The third girl said, she and Jinxin changed their dresses in the woodshed, leaving you to guard the door. Where did you go? Why was the door locked?"

Mrs. Feng glanced at Yao secretly, hurriedly retracted her gaze, slowly recalling the words taught by the cousin: "The slave was originally guarding the door. I saw the wife of the royal palace coming over for a while and wanted to drive us away. The slaves did not dare to offend us, so they thought to lock the door first and avoid it. After a while, the people from the royal palace left and then went back to open the door. Unexpectedly, when the slaves went back and opened the door, the girl was no longer there."

True black and white are inverted, Jinghe only endured the hatred in her heart, so she would not lose her composure in front of everyone.

Jingyi didn't expect that Mrs. Feng was so clever and speechless for a moment.

Old Mrs. Xu took the baton from her granddaughter and asked, "I'll ask you, why did you call your girl's name and go to the flower hall when the banquet was held? Are you not afraid of rushing to the princess and placing your master?"

Mrs. Feng was a little choking, and the little girl beside her was a little clever, and hurriedly said, "That's because when Mrs. Feng went back to find the girl, she found that the girl was missing, and the door was locked outside. My mother was worried that the girl would be in trouble, so she searched a whole circle in the garden and found the flower hall all the way back, just to confirm whether the girl was there. If she was not there, she would report to the old lady who was looking for someone to find the girl. Mother Feng was really worried about the girl."

Old Mrs. Xu glanced at her and Bixiang couldn't help but shivered. However, Zhou was moved by these words for the third time. If Jinghe hadn't held her tightly, she would have been afraid that she would have been unable to help but speak again.

"I really can't tell that you two are such loyal servants," Old Mrs. Xu's thin right palm slowly rubbed the pattern on the left cuff. The sound was extremely majestic, and years of pamperingness formed a great pressure. Every time the hand went back and forth, it made the hearts of Mrs. Feng and Bixiang even more nervous.

"I'll ask you again, since you are worried about your master, when the third girl's maid, Jinxin, came to inform you, when the third girl had entered the flower hall for the banquet, why were you still yelling at the door and refused to leave?" Old Mrs. Xu stared at the two of you with sharp eyes as sharp as a falcon.

Bixiang's expression was speechless, and she still refused to admit defeat. She argued again: "Slave...Slave is that...what care is messy, and she was anxious and confused for a moment...The second wife said that Jin Xin was promoted by the fourth wife and placed next to the third girl, which was probably not trustworthy. The slave was afraid that she would deceive us, so she had to see the third girl."

When Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but stared at the apricot's eyes wide open, and she was about to shed tears. He pointed to Bixiang's fingertips and trembled slightly, and said angrily: "You're talking nonsense..." She had never said such words. She, a person with a pure mind and no question about the world, could she do such a thought?

Jinghe was secretly surprised that Bixiang didn't know a big word, and he actually said the idiom "Care is chaos"! This time, it is certain that Yao must be at the back!

When Mrs. Xu saw that Zhou was no longer protecting the two slaves, she breathed a sigh of relief. This Zhou was really sober that she would not shed tears without seeing the coffin. She had to see the slave betray her and betray her with her own eyes before she could wake up.

"You have to say it." Old Mrs. Xu said to Mom He.

Mother He responded and stepped forward and said, "After Mrs. Feng was clamoring at the door, the old lady secretly sent a slave to ask a wife in charge of a housekeeper who was guarding the flower hall at that time. She said that she saw with her own eyes a housekeeper who was guarding the flower hall next to the shelf, sneakily took out a blood bag from her arms, poured it on a veil, and wiped it on a lady's skirt. She originally planned to come forward to remind her, but she saw that the girl had a cordial conversation with the woman, but she seemed to be her own. She was also carrying the errand of guarding the flower hall and did not dare to do anything, so she pressed the matter down."

Mrs. Feng heard the flaw and quickly argued: "It's absolutely impossible for the people guarding the flower hall to see it!"

After she said this, she realized that she had missed her mouth, so she hurriedly said, "The slave has been following the girl in the flower hall, but she didn't see the girl's skirt dirty. She just went to the veranda to see..."

"Since you discovered it early, why didn't you give me a reminder? Instead, I came to the garden and told my third sister, do you know how much damage the reputation of my third sister would be if Jin Xin and I couldn't see it!" Yao Ling'er, who had been quietly behind Yao, spoke coldly at this moment. She stepped forward and said with a blessing, and continued: "Old lady, this is a family matter in the mansion. I shouldn't have spoken, but today's affairs are also present. It was me who saw that the third sister's skirt was tampered with, and the third sister treated me as a sister, so I couldn't help but stand up and say a few fair words, and ask the old lady to forgive me."

The darkness in the eyes of Mrs. Xu seemed to be a little deeper, and she nodded and said, "You might as well be there, so of course you should come forward to make a clear proof."
