Chapter 27 Who is to blame
Xue Li also calmed down at this moment and said: "Send that filthy thing to Jinyu Zhai to Master Li and let him see who made it."
A servant wrapped the jade nangen in white cloth and hurried away.
Another servant picked out the emerald heads and faces from the secret grid one by one and put them on the table. The combination of gold and green was so luxurious, but this set of emerald heads and faces was regarded as an ominous thing by the people in the house.
The third lady was also confused at the moment. She had obviously given it to the eldest lady that day and she had accepted it. There had been no movement since then. Why did she suddenly appear in the fifth lady’s room?
The eldest lady said calmly: "Master, is this the jade head and face that the emperor rewarded?" She walked over and picked up a hairpin and looked at it repeatedly, her eyes full of love.
Xue Li frowned when he saw this. He and the eldest lady have been married for fifteen years. How could he not know that she likes jade the most? Now this set of hair and face is so exquisite. If she had really seen it, it would not be as strange as it was. So she believed it from the bottom of her heart.
He realized that the eldest lady had been wronged by the third lady, so he reconsidered the situation of the fifth lady.
The old lady was speechless. At this moment, she felt that her old face had been completely shamed. Regardless of whether this jade nangen was framed by the fifth lady, it was really unfortunate for the family to have such a scandal in the house!
Xue Rou'er was already laughing in her heart. Kill three eagles with one stone? This is three foxes with one stone. I didn't expect that my counterattack would be so beautiful. Now let's see how you solve the problem?
The third lady's back is still straight. She feels that she is the one who suffers. As for why the thing appears in the fifth lady's place, she doesn't know. Anyway, whether it is to bring down the first lady or the fifth lady, there is no benefit to her.
Harmful. Besides, there is a beauty who is as beautiful as a biological daughter. Who dares not to give her justice?
Half an hour later, the servant came back from Jin Yuzhai and whispered in Xue Li's ear for a while. Xue Li's face was ashen, he waved away the servant and said: "Yushu, you said that Xueru stole this jade head and face, then why?"
Will he appear here in Guifen?"
The third lady said, "Sir, this may be because the eldest lady learned that the beauty had returned home, so she panicked and put her in the fifth sister's room."
Xue Li added: "Since she was afraid, why didn't she put the box back with you instead of abandoning the box and hiding it here with Guifen?"
The third lady couldn't reply, and she held it for a long time before saying: "Maybe I want to put the blame on the fifth sister, but I didn't expect that the fifth sister would hide something like that." She was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and that thing would be brought up again.
Up.
Xue Li's face turned red and green for a while, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Now that I have found this set of jade heads, it is better to let it go. Guifen is unjust. None of you can discuss this matter anymore."
The fifth lady observed the situation and knew that Xue Li had reached the limit of her patience. If she continued to pursue the case, she might not be able to reap the consequences. Since Xue Li said that he would not pursue the case, she could only swallow this breath in her stomach.
But the third lady did not notice that Xue Li was protecting someone, and immediately said: "Fifth sister has done such dirty things, and she is not held accountable? There is no airtight wall in this world. If word spreads, outsiders will think that the master
It really doesn’t work.”
Xue Liben had reached the breaking point. Being provoked by the third lady's words, he immediately erupted like a volcano: "Jiang Ren, do you have to shake off the good deeds you have done before you are willing to do it?"
The third lady asked: "What did I do?"
Xue Li raised the jade nangen in his hand and said, "This thing was bought by someone in your yard. How could you not know?"
The third lady hurriedly said: "Master, you have wronged me. There are only two little girls in my yard and one maid as a dowry. Could it be that they bought it?"
The old lady said: "Li'er, now that this matter involves the reputation of the house, it is better for you to find out the truth. Anyone who is guilty must be severely punished, otherwise it will be spread out like Yushu said.
Where is Xue Mansion’s face!”
Xue Li pondered for a moment and said: "My son, please come and bring Liu'er."
The third lady's heart sank. Liu'er was her dowry girl and helped her with a trial marriage before getting married. Could it be that she didn't want to be favored by the master and was unwilling to be lonely, so she got such a thing? But then I thought about it and it was wrong.
, if she really did it, why did it appear in the fifth lady’s room?
Liu'er was shocked when she was brought in. She didn't expect that there would be so many people in the room.
Xue Li threw the things in his hands in front of Liu'er and said, "What's going on?"
When Liu'er saw the thing, her little face turned pale. She knelt down and cried: "This slave has no shame to live... wu wu wu..." She has pretty eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and she is even more charming when she cries like this.
Bringing rain makes people feel pity.
However, a businessman like Xue Li, who was unprofitable and could not afford to start early, had no attachment to beautiful women. Only women who were useful to him were the most beautiful in his eyes. Therefore, he did not show any emotion, and he still had a dark face.
The third lady became anxious and asked, "Liu'er, tell me, what's going on?"
Liu'er knew in her heart that she would die anyway, so she was not afraid anymore. She calmed down and said, "Madam, this servant is your trial marriage girl. How can a woman who has experienced human affairs endure being alone every night? But the master is not honest at all.
Seeing the slave, it was impossible for the slave to find another man, so he had to ask someone to buy one, so that he could at least maintain his innocence.
Now that this matter has been exposed, I have no shame in living in this world. I only hope that in the next life I can be given a good family, marry normally and have children."
Xue Li said: "Never mind this matter, tell me, why did your things and this set of jade heads and masks appear in the fifth lady's room?"
Liu'er said: "Master, don't ask any more questions. I only want to die and don't want to be an unfaithful person." She was quite bloody.
The third lady's face darkened when she heard this, and said: "What infidelity? Have I ever asked you to do anything outrageous? Since you like men so much, I will sell you to Goulan Courtyard so that you can have a man every day."
"
Liu'er's eyes turned cold and she said: "Third Madam, I have been serving you for twenty years. I have worked hard without any merit. Do you treat me like this?"
The third lady said: "I am blind so I took you as a dowry. I didn't expect you to only think about men. Now you do such a thing again, which makes me ashamed."
Liu'er is thirty-two this year, the year of the tiger and wolf, and with her charming appearance, it is not easy to find a man? But she chose this method just to save the face of the third lady. But the third lady did not protect her.
, but wanted to sell her. She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of being sold to Goulan, so she glanced at Xue Rou'er secretly, and when she nodded, she said: "Third Madam, since you are so cruel, then I have to say something nice to you.
As I said before, you made your slaves do some shameful things."
[Author's digression]: Short story: Xue Rou'er said to the eldest lady: "Mom, come and see, is the scene of one arrow and three foxes good?"
The eldest lady said: "It looks good, but there is something I don't understand."
Xue Rouer asked: "What's the matter?"
The eldest lady said: "Why don't these three foxes have tails? Tell me, did you use their tails to make scarves?"
