Before Jinglan finished speaking, Cui Siniang interrupted her angrily.

"Nothing nonsense. After the gem fell, I have not found it until now."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cui suddenly lowered her face and slapped the table hard: "It's so outrageous that you dare to make a false statement to frame your master."

Mrs. Cui was furious and shouted outside: "Come on, pull this slut down and beat the fifty big boards again."

Madam Du immediately rushed in with her people.

Seeing this scene, Jinglan was so scared that her face turned pale and she kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Old lady, please spare me. What I told the truth. I did not lie or make false confessions."

Seeing that Jinglan was about to be taken away, Mrs. Cui hurriedly spoke out to stop her:

"Slow down!"

After Mrs. Cui shouted and stopped Madam Du and others, she turned around and said to Mrs. Cui: "Mother, Jinglan just told the facts she saw. If she told the truth, she would be punished. Who else in the mansion would tell the truth in the future?"

However, Mrs. Cui was not convinced by Mrs. Cui, but became even more angry. She angrily questioned Mrs. Cui: "You don't believe in your nephew's niece, but you believe in a slut. Are you trying to kill your nephew's niece?"

After such a serious crime was deducted, Mrs. Cui was frightened and trepidated: "My mother misunderstood, I didn't mean that.

"I have sent someone to investigate. Jinglan did not lie, and when Ba Niang had an accident, Hongrui and these two mothers from Haitangyuan were indeed not in the yard.

"Someone has seen the three of them go to the rockery..."

After saying that, Mrs. Cui ordered Wutong to bring the witness in.

This time, three maids came in, all of whom were from the three bedrooms, responsible for cleaning the rockery.

"Don't be afraid, tell me what you see." Mrs. Cui gently encouraged them.

The three maids looked at each other and said in sequence from left to right: "Until today, when I was cleaning the pavilion near the rockery, I saw Miss Hongrui bringing two mothers into the rockery."

"When I was passing by the rockery, I heard a sound inside and went in and took a look. But I saw Miss Hongrui and two mothers holding thick wooden sticks, as if they were discussing something. I was scared and left."

"I saw the girl Hongrui near the rockery. She was carrying a thick wooden stick in her hand. Later, I saw her throwing the thick wooden stick into the lotus pond..."

The three of them said it in detail, and if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would probably not be able to say it.

The more Hongrui and the two old men heard, their faces became paler. At the end, fine beads of sweat had already oozed out of their foreheads and their backs were sticky.

Cui Siniang's face was also ugly. She didn't expect Hongrui to be so unscrupulous in doing things. Now that the matter is exposed, what should she do?

Mrs. Cui glanced at Cui Siniang, and her heart felt like a mirror.

The next moment, Mrs. Cui suddenly felt hatred in her heart. If it weren't for the old man Cui Quan's words that there were only four people in each room and that she was not allowed to take someone else to the banquet, why would today's incident happen?

"Mother--"

The voice of the daughter-in-law pulled back the old lady Cui's thoughts. She looked at Mrs. Cui, and only heard Mrs. Cui ask carefully: "Mother, look at this..."

Mrs. Cui did not answer her, but looked at Cui Siniang, with a gentle tone as always: "Si Niang, what they said is true?"

For some reason, she clearly heard her grandmother's voice as usual, but Cui Siniang felt scared. Her legs became weak and her body fell down.

Liu's eyes were quick and quick, and he held his daughter with one hand, and took a step forward, blocking her daughter.

"Old lady, Si Niang has always been friendly to her sisters, how could she do such a murderous act? There must be misunderstandings in this. Please ask the old lady to investigate the matter thoroughly."

Looking at the open-minded and fearless Liu family, Mrs. Cui did not feel disgusted for the first time. Although this woman has a bad background and a cowardly personality, it is not useless to stand up to protect her daughter at critical moments.

Cui Siniang finally recovered. She broke free from her mother's hand and walked out from behind her: "Grandmother, I never thought of hurting anyone, especially my relatives.

"I didn't instruct anyone to hurt Ba Niang, this matter has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, she walked to Hongrui again and asked sternly: "Tell me, who instructed you to hurt Ba Niang?"

"I..." Hongrui looked at Cui Siniang's eyes that were implicitly warning, and suddenly couldn't speak.

The two old ladies kneeling beg for mercy when they saw that the situation was not good, and they hurriedly beg for mercy: "Old lady, please spare our life, we can't help it. All of this was done by Si Niang..."

"Paipa--"

Liu rushed over, raised his hand and slapped them twice: "Don't slander Si Niang!

"Is Si Niang personally instructing you to hurt Ba Niang, or did Si Niang write this order in his own hand? If not, don't talk nonsense and make Si Niang unrighteous."

The two old ladies covered their hot faces and couldn't speak. The third lady's words clearly meant to let them take the blame.

No, they are not the culprits, why should they take the blame?

The two women looked at each other secretly, then pointed at Hongrui together: "Old lady, it was her who asked us to hurt Baniang, and it was also her who injured Baniang's leg. We just touched Baniang gently twice."

"Yes, yes, we didn't dare to do it. We just touched Ba Niang twice, and the person who almost couldn't walk was Miss Hongrui."

Hongrui was furious and looked at them with red eyes: "You..."

At this time, Liu said with disappointment: "Hongrui, I am useless to treat you with Si Niang, but you hurt Ba Niang in the name of Si Niang and make Si Niang unrighteous. You are so... that Si Niang and I are so disappointed..."

Si Niang reacted and pinched her legs secretly, squeezing out tears: "Hongrui, why do you do this?

"That's my real sister. What's the difference between hurting her and hurting me?

"What the hell am I sorry for you, do you want to treat me like this?"

Red wise: "..."

Now that I'm pushing her to the death, isn't it a shame for her?

Hongrui gritted her teeth, and felt a little confused.

However, before she could speak, Mrs. Cui had already announced: "Hongrui bullies her superiors and hides her subordinates, hurts Ba Niang, and takes Si Niang unjustly, and is extremely evil.

"Come on, drag Hongrui out and hit fifty boards."

Mrs. Cui looked at the two women again: "These two men helped the evildoer and hurt their master, and dragged them out and beat the thirty-stop."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hongrui struggled and shouted, "Good life for the old lady, I just thought it was just for Si Niang.

"Si Niang is the legitimate daughter. Yuan Niang wants to take her sister to the banquet, of course she has to take her legitimate daughter. How can she bring a concubine daughter?

"Old lady, you must make the decision for Si Niang..."

It is rare for such a servant to be heard when he is about to die and not forget to speak for his master.

Hongrui thought that saying this would win the old lady's appreciation and spare her life, but Mrs. Cui winked at Miss Du and said nothing.

When he arrived in the yard, Madam Du ordered someone to block Hongrui and the two women's mouths and started to beat the board.

“One, two, three, four…”

After the thirty board was beaten, the two women rolled their eyes and never moved again.

After fifty boards were beaten, Hongrui was already dying...
