397: the truth
397: The truth. Ye Mingxuan's face changed drastically. He quickly stepped forward and bent down to pick up the broken tea cup. He carefully looked at the cup body outside the tea cup, then stretched out his finger and gently slid it on it. There was sarcasm in his eyes, and then he
The teacup reached out and handed it to Madam Ye, then picked up the remaining fragments and gave one to Ye Qingcheng, one to the eldest princess, Du Manqiu naturally gave one to Ye Jin, and the last remaining fragment was given to Ye Jin.
Mrs. Ye's eyesight was a bit bad and she couldn't see clearly, so she handed the broken porcelain piece to Grandma Song. Grandma Song took it and looked at it carefully, then reached out to wipe it on her nose and sniffed it.
Then he said: "Old madam, the outside of this tea cup is indeed coated with a layer of grease. The light oil aroma of the grease is obscured by the aroma of tea. If you don't smell it carefully, you won't be able to smell it."
Mrs. Ye's face changed drastically, and her eyes that had seen all the vicissitudes of life were a bit ferocious, "Check it for me, and I will see who dares to do such a thing without risking his life!"
Old Madam Ye asked Zi Jin to investigate, so it was difficult for Zi Jin to interfere, and Granny Song was reliable, so Zi Jin followed Ye Mingxuan under the instructions of the eldest princess and waited for the news.
Aunt Song dismantled the people and pushed out the girl who had just picked up the pieces. For a while, there was no sound in the room. You could only vaguely hear Aunt Song's stern questions outside, but it was just a distance.
From a distance, I couldn't hear what was being asked.
Zi Jin remained silent, with a serious expression on her face. Looking at Zi Jin's appearance, everyone remembered that she was known as the Living King of Hell, and had once made a big fuss in the Duke of Liang's Mansion, even causing the Yongshun County Prince's Mansion and Anshun Marquis to
The girl who was a direct descendant of the mansion came to apologize to her in person. Zi Jin was only eight/nine years old at that time. Over the years, Zi Jin often followed Princess Lian to play around, and also learned riding and shooting. Her temper became more and more naughty. She was really afraid that this matter would be exposed.
After coming out, Zi Jin refused to give up and didn't know what the trouble would be.
Mrs. Yao feels a headache just thinking about it. It would be okay if it were Zi Jin or Miss Yao Wu. Mrs. Ye could still suppress it a little bit by showing the family tree. But now Zi Jin is Luoyi County who is personally granted the title by the emperor.
Lord, Luoxiayuan Shui Zhan saved so many noble children, and the credit is very high. Even Mrs. Ye can't forcefully suppress them. At this time, my heart is so full of hatred that my teeth are itching. I don't know which one of them doesn't have eyes.
He actually gave this living king of hell trouble, wouldn't this bring trouble to the whole family?
Mrs. Ye's worries are also Ye Qingcheng's worries at this time, but he has more headaches. He also has to think about how to explain to Yao Qian and how to explain to Yao Changjie who wrote a letter of complaint. But Yao Qian seems to be easy to talk to.
The most difficult person to deal with was Yao Changjie, who looked young but was the most scheming and ruthless. Ouch, Ye Qingcheng not only felt a headache, but also felt pain all over his body.
It is said that when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no explanation. That was in troubled times. In the peaceful and prosperous times, the soldier was most afraid of meeting a scholar who was a nerd. Those four or six parallel sentences can make you dizzy and dig a big hole.
You fell into it without fully understanding what was going on. How many military generals did not die on the battlefield, but died in politics, wouldn't this be a living example?
Suddenly, Ye Qingcheng felt that he should not have been so entangled by his son that he had to marry such an in-law. Although he had somewhat agreed with it at the beginning, who would have thought that someone would do something evil on the first day that his new daughter-in-law came into the house, and even he, the Marquis, would be involved.
I was also a little worried about what kind of trouble this living hell would cause. If the emperor knew about the trouble... Ye Qingcheng sighed heavily in his heart. He was so unlucky. He really hated the person who was the mastermind and wanted to drag him away immediately.
Come out and beat him to death.
The eldest princess is not in a hurry. The person who can do this is naturally the person in Du Manqiu's room. In this case, she will just wait and see the excitement. And although the eldest princess has heard of Zi Jin's name, she has never seen it. Why is this living hell making such a fuss? If Zi Jin was really wronged today, she might really be able to watch a good show. She would want to see where Du Manqiu's face is.
Ye Jin and Ye Fan were also a little uneasy at this time. The two brothers looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes. Their mother should not do such a thing, but it was obvious that the one who could cause trouble for Zi Jin was the eldest princess, Yao Zijin. The ugly eldest princess didn't look good on her face. Even a young princess wouldn't do this, let alone such a smart eldest princess.
Naturally, the only room that wasn't the eldest princess' room was theirs. No matter who was responsible, Ye Jin thought that with Yao Zijin's temperament, he might not be kind this time, and his face would be dark.
Chu Xiangyu and Shen Ruoning had seen Zi Jin punishing people. At this time, both of them looked a little ugly. Shen Ruoning looked at Chu Xiangyu and her fingers trembled slightly. In fact, it was quite good to be friends with Zi Jin. Okay, but to become enemies, the two of them are not as ruthless as Zi Jin, and Yao Zijin is not only ruthless. The problem is that Yao Zijin is very smart, and it is very unlucky to meet such an enemy. The two never thought They are all enemies of Zi Jin, but... whoever blindly attacks Yao Zijin, aren't they being tricked and used as cannon fodder?
Everyone has their own calculations. It’s not that they really can’t beat Zi Jin, but as the saying goes, the soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the stunned ones, the stunned ones are afraid of the violent ones, and the violent ones are afraid of losing their lives. Yao Zijin belongs to this category. The kind of person who is life-threatening. Such a person is not only difficult to deal with but also terrifying. The most terrible thing is his life-threatening ruthlessness. He is a person who does not fight hard and will be weak at the sight of him.
Everyone here has their own thoughts, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are all afraid that Zi Jin's fierceness as the King of Hell will make the family restless, and everyone's hearts are filled with 15 buckets of water. It makes people feel uneasy.
If Zi Jin knew that his reputation could make people so uneasy, he would be so happy that he would wake up from dreaming at night.
After a stick of incense, Mother Song came back. There were still beads of sweat on Mother Song’s forehead. I don’t know whether it was due to fatigue from the interrogation or other reasons. Seeing Mother Song come in, everyone’s eyes forgot about the past. , Aunt Song is worthy of being in front of Mrs. Ye. At this time, her steps are still steady, and she bows and replies: "Returning to the old lady, Mr. Marquis, the eldest princess, and Mrs. Du, the tea cup that the third young lady served Mrs. Du with is Luyuan received it from Mrs. Sun, who was usually in charge of the old lady's utensils. The person who received it was Qiangwei in front of the old lady. Qiangwei received the tea cup and gave it to the second-class girl Su Yue for cleaning. After Su Yue received the tea cup So she assigned the work to the third-class girl Yinghong. Yinghong cleaned the teacup and gave it to Suyue according to the rules. Suyue gave it to Qiangwei, and Qiangwei put the teacup in the compartment waiting to serve tea today. During this period, the tea cups were kept in good condition, because the tea cups had to be brewed and cleaned the next day, so even if they were greased at this time, the work was in vain. Today, the rose was taken out of the house. The teacup was given to Shaoyao who was making tea. She made tea and put it on the tray with her own hands and handed it to Hanxue, the girl who came in to serve the tea. When Hanxue came in, she met Caichun, the girl in Mrs. Du's yard. Chun pulled Han Xue and said a few words, and touched the tea cup curiously and praised the tea set for being very beautiful. Han Xue saw the tea cup with her own eyes and did not leave her sight, so she did not suspect Cai Chun. Thinking that Caichun had put oil on his hands in advance, he smeared the oil on the outside of the tea cup as soon as he touched the tea cup. Because the hot water that the last Mrs. Du served tea had been used up, she used a new one. The tea brewed with boiling water is still a little hot even though it has been left to dry, because the outside of the teacup was greased with oil and the teacup was pressed together, which is why the third young lady knocked over the teacup."
Aunt Song spoke very smoothly, keeping her eyes lowered without looking at anyone. Du Manqiu's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Bring Caichun in, I want to ask who can give her
How dare you do such a thing." After saying this, Du Manqiu stood up, looked at Mrs. Ye and said, "It's all because the daughter-in-law failed to restrain her servants, and something like this happened. The daughter-in-law didn't know what to do.
Why did Chun do this? Now let’s pull her up and ask her in public, so as to clear her daughter-in-law’s innocence.”
Zi Jin looked at Du Manqiu's expression carefully, and it was probably not fake. The anger in his eyes seemed to want to eat the girl named Caichun alive. Zi Jin was a little curious in his heart. Since Du Manqiu didn't know, then what happened to Caichun?
Why do you want to plot against yourself?
This situation did not happen in the last life, and the wedding tea ceremony was quite smooth. Unexpectedly, there would be such an exception in this life, which really made Zi Jin a little confused.
Mrs. Ye asked people to bring Caichun up. Caichun was the girl who had just secretly picked up the debris. Seeing her, everyone naturally understood why the girl was picking up the debris in a hurry. It turned out to be to destroy evidence.
.
After Caichun was brought up, he was no longer afraid. He completely lost the timid look he had when Zi Jin stopped him. He knelt straight on the ground, lowered his head and didn't look at anyone. He looked proud.
"Caichun, I usually treat you well, why do you want to trap me into injustice?" Du Manqiu angrily shouted, his body was about to fall because he was too angry. Chu Xiangyu and Shen Ruoning helped their mother-in-law and served her carefully.
Caichun did not speak, and his expression of disapproval made Du Manqiu even more anxious. Mrs. Ye frowned, looked at Caichun and said, "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise the Ye family's addition will not be a show-off."
"Mrs. Du ordered this slave to do this." Caichun whispered, his voice trembling and thin, as if he was enduring great fear.
"You're talking nonsense. When did I ask you to do such a thing?" Du Manqiu was so angry that he almost fainted and pointed at Caichun's nose and yelled, "You're a rip-off, I've never been a bad person when I led you, and you actually colluded with an outsider to do this.
Did you frame me and have your heart eaten by a dog?"
Caichun seemed very frightened when he heard the words, and said with choked sobs: "Madam, I don't dare to frame you. I still have my wife at home, so I don't dare not to tell the truth. It's fine for me to die alone, how can I implicate my family?"
?Originally, it would have been fine if I had followed your instructions to take down the broken tea cup and replace it, but my clumsiness was still discovered by Princess Luo Yi. Madam, please spare me this time. I have no shame in living.
I just ask you, madam, to spare my family. Although I failed in my studies and did my homework according to your instructions, please consider that I have spared my family for the sake of my loyalty. I kowtow to you."
Caichun kowtowed hard on the ground as he spoke, but blood started to flow from his forehead after just a few times. The bright red blood flowing down Bai Yu's cheek was really scary.
"Mrs. Du, what else do you have to say? I didn't expect you to use other people's family members as blackmail. I'm really shocked. What a pity for such a loyal girl." The eldest princess sighed softly and looked at Cai Cai.
Chun shook his head and turned to look at Du Manqiu with particularly sharp eyes.
Du Manqiu ignored the eldest princess, but knelt down in front of Mrs. Ye with a plop, and choked with sobs: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has been working hard for this family since she came in. If I really want to embarrass Princess Luoyi, how can I do such a stupid thing?
, even if you want to do it, why would you use a third-class girl in my yard? Even if you want to use threats, you have to use the big girls around me. Isn’t this safe? My daughter-in-law was really wronged. Please mother, please investigate and repay the crime.
My daughter-in-law must be fair. My daughter-in-law doesn’t know why Caichun insists that her daughter-in-law ordered her to do this. Is it possible that Caichun’s words alone can convict her daughter-in-law? My daughter-in-law will not rest in peace even if she dies. Please
Mother, Lord Marquis makes the decision for me."
Du Manqiu counterattacked, implying that Caichun was ordered by others to deliberately smear her. Everyone knew this. The only person in the prince's mansion who had a problem with Du Manqiu was the eldest princess, and only the eldest princess had this.
He has the ability to make a third-class girl do such a thing.
Ye Mingxuan snorted softly, and could no longer hold back at this moment. He opened his mouth and said: "If according to what you said, there is someone else behind this girl, I am very curious about who can make the girl in front of you do such a backstory.
It’s about the master. As a slave, betraying the master will lead to death if found out. I didn’t know that all the girls in the house now have such a fearless spirit."
Seeing that Ye Mingxuan was angry, Ye Jin immediately stood up and said: "Third brother, we are a family after all. This matter is indeed fishy. My mother will never do such a thing today."
Ye Jin emphasized the emphasis on the word "today". The three brothers of the Ye family all knew that Du Manqiu and the eldest princess were not dealing with each other. It was their business to make mistakes between women, and their brother's business. Today is Mingxuan
His daughter-in-law suffered a loss, and Ye Jin was really afraid that Ye Mingxuan would start a fight regardless of what happened, and let the mastermind behind the scenes take advantage.
Ye Mingxuan was indeed very angry because Zi Jin was burned by hot tea after recovering from a serious illness. Although it was not very severe, he still felt very distressed. Seeing Du Manqiu crying and complaining about his grievances, he couldn't help it anymore. His wife still
I didn’t complain about my grievances. If I was the one who was annoyed, it should be Zi Jin! However, Ye Jin’s words had some truth to them, and Ye Mingxuan’s brows furrowed…
