"Second girl, third...third girl." The old woman knelt down in panic.
"What do you have in your hand?" Yu Yuxi's eyes fell on the mother-in-law's sleeves. The sleeves were stained with dirt and were bunched together. Her hands in the sleeves could not be seen.
"Slave... I have nothing, slave." The old woman stammered.
"Nothing?" Yu Yuxi sneered and said sternly: "Pull her hand out."
Two maids passed by, one held the mother-in-law's shoulder, and the other held her hand. The hand was pulled out. In the hand covered with dirt was a small box, which looked like a jewelry box.
"What is this?" Yu Yuxi sneered.
"My slave... This slave didn't do it on purpose. This... this slave picked it up accidentally." The old lady said hurriedly, and kowtowed heavily to Yu Yuxi, "Second girl, this slave just picked up one by accident."
It was not stolen, it was picked up by the slave."
"Where did you pick it up?" Yu Yuxi asked coldly, not in a hurry to check.
"Slave... I was walking on the road and saw something like this in the grass. I... I just wanted to hide it secretly. Miss Three, I didn't notice that there was anyone here."
The mother-in-law stammered.
The pavilion is on the second floor, and the girls upstairs don't talk very much. The back balcony is close to the lake and is at the back. If you want to hide something and don't notice the people on the pavilion, it is the best place.
"Girl, she is the person next to Mrs. Zhou. When I went to see Mrs. Zhou before, I saw her reporting things more than once." Jin Zhu stood up and testified.
"Slave... this slave is someone close to Mrs. Zhou." The mother-in-law didn't dare to hide it.
"Is this yours... or Mrs. Zhou's?" Yu Yuxi raised her chin slightly and clicked on the jewelry box. The box was very delicate, but it was covered with dirt.
"Yes... my slave picked it up." The mother-in-law said in a panic, her eyes wandering, and she knew at a glance that she was not telling the truth.
"Nonsense, this must belong to Mrs. Zhou. You must have stolen Mrs. Zhou's jewelry because of your wealth." Jin Zhu reprimanded loudly.
"No, it's really not a slave. I really didn't steal Mrs. Zhou's jewelry. I really picked it up." The old lady shook her hands wildly, panicking.
She gritted her teeth and didn't let go at all. It looked like it was true, but the woman looked guilty. None of the girls present agreed with her words.
If it had been in the past, Yu Lizhu would have jumped out on this occasion, but just now she was choked by Yu Xijiao, and thinking of the scolding she had received in the past few days, she silently shut up. This matter was Yu Yuxi's fault.
Whatever the matter has to do with her, she can just watch the fun.
Although she doesn't like Yu Liyue, she still listens to her words...
Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and looked at Yu Lizhu, who rarely kept her mouth shut, said nothing, and did not disturb the situation. A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. Everyone felt that Yu Lizhu would disturb the situation and make things get out of hand.
, the first time she saw Yu Lizhu, Yu Xijiao knew that someone had such a plan.
Now she feels ridiculed and Yu Lizhu, who has calmed down, is not completely mindless.
"You secretly hid what you picked up here?" Yu Yuxi looked at the mother-in-law and asked suddenly.
"No...no, no." The mother-in-law raised her eyes in horror.
"There is someone here. You didn't see it at all, but you still came here, not to bury it here, but to dig out this thing here and take it away secretly. You had to come, you had to take it away secretly?" Yu Yuxi said softly.
He said, "Since I won't tell you, I will leave this matter to my father and ask him to ask Mrs. Zhou."
"No... don't tell the Marquis... it's all my fault. It was my slave who stole the things and buried them here..." When she heard that she was going to see Yu Ruiwen, the mother-in-law turned pale, and she no longer dared to say anything, "It's... my slave.
I failed Mrs. Zhou and stole Mrs. Zhou’s jewelry.”
"Since you stole it and hid it secretly here, why do you have to dig it away secretly at this time even though we are here, so that you are not afraid of being discovered by us?" Yu Yuxi snorted coldly and asked.
"Slave... I didn't mean it. I really didn't see the second girl here. When I came over, the girls hadn't come yet..." Now that she had said it, the mother-in-law didn't dare to hide it any more. After saying this, she asked Yu Yuxi
He kowtowed three times and said, "Second Miss, please spare me. I will never dare to do it again in the future."
So, I didn't just come here, I came here early, which makes sense. How could a woman dare to do such a thing secretly in front of them.
Even if there is no sound anymore, a few maids are walking back and forth, and the occasional words will be heard.
"Why are you digging suddenly?" Yu Yuxi asked again.
"Slave...slave..." The mother-in-law began to sweat on her forehead.
"You still don't want to tell the truth? You still don't want to make up for your mistakes?" Yu Yuxi said loudly, "Someone came and tied up her whole family. After thorough investigation, they will be punished together."
"Second girl, slave... said, slave said anything." The mother-in-law screamed in horror. This matter was not just her matter now, it also affected the whole family. How could she dare to hide it.
The mother-in-law trembled and cried loudly: "This... was not buried by the slave, but was buried by the slave after seeing... other people."
Being frightened by Yu Yuxi repeatedly and involving her family, the mother-in-law could not bear it. She had already collapsed.
This answer was beyond everyone's expectation. Even Xu Anjiao frowned and looked at the mother-in-law in astonishment. The mother-in-law's current answer completely overturned her previous answer.
Yu Xijiao looked at the mother-in-law, her face as calm as water, and she leaned back slightly. To her, the scene in front of her was really ridiculous.
"Who buried it?" Yu Yuxi continued to ask.
"Yes...it's Mr. Liu, it's Mr. Liu."
A man secretly buried something in the backyard of Xuanpinghou Mansion. This thing seemed a bit strange. Xu Anjiao and Yu Lizhu looked at each other and both heard something else.
Yu Lizhu pursed her lips, rarely talking too much.
Previously, she was embarrassed when she went to Baishi Academy because she was too talkative. Thinking of the anger and shame she felt when she knelt in the corridor and was reprimanded by the eldest lady, Yu Lizhu became a little more cautious. Her father and aunt both said that this incident in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion
As a third girl, you should not be offended easily again. Just now she could only hold back for a while and show off her quick words.
"Which Mr. Liu? When did Mr. Liu come to the house? Why can he enter the inner courtyard?" Yu Yuxi asked.
"Yes... he is Mrs. Zhou's cousin. He just... arrived at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. Now he is studying in the mansion. Mr. Liu was not feeling well before. Mrs. Zhou hurriedly went to visit him, and then took away the relics of Mrs. Zhou's father.
They were all moved over to Mr. Liu. This servant felt something was wrong, so she secretly paid attention to Mr. Liu."
The mother-in-law felt remorseful and resentful, "Later I saw Mr. Liu secretly burying something here on the pretext of visiting Mrs. Zhou. I just wanted to dig it out today, but I didn't expect to dig it out... The second girl...
Here, I have been hiding for a long time. When I saw that I didn’t find you, I wanted to sneak away."
"This...Mrs. Zhou and this Mr. Liu...two..." Xu Anjiao just finished her words and pressed the handkerchief gently on the corner of her lips, her eyes were extremely shocked.
Yu Lizhu also wanted to speak, so she spoke Xu Anjiao's unfinished words before opening her mouth to follow her. She saw Yu Xijiao smiling diagonally across from her, with a pair of bright eyes. The smile was clear and gentle, but with a hint of coldness in her heart.
I shivered smartly, and the words of my aunt and father came to my mind again.
He put the handkerchief on his mouth, turned his head and coughed lowly, saying nothing, just watching the show.
Before going out, his father also warned himself...
Before Yu Lizhu could intervene, Xu Anjiao could only find Yu Lizhu on her own initiative, leaned into Yu Lizhu's ear and asked in a low voice: "Miss Yu Er, did you see... something?"
What do you see?
Yu Lizhu felt that Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Liu had something shady. It was another embarrassing day for Xuanpinghou's house as the common wife of Xuanpinghou. She was very happy to see this scene, but Yu Xijiao had just
Her smile was too cold, and Yu Lizhu thought she could just watch the show.
Talk less, watch more plays, and tell your father when you get back. My father and aunt will definitely be happy.
Pretending to press the corners of her lips gently, Yu Lizhu coughed twice more and leaned back weakly: "What do you think, County Lord? I... didn't understand."
It turned out to be a silver-like wax gun tip! Xu Anjiao gritted her teeth. She brought Yu Lizhu here today just to disrupt the situation. However, Yu Xijiao was shocked as soon as she walked in. She didn't say a few words to provoke trouble.
He really gave her a high look.
In other words, it is a useless product that pretends to be powerful.
Xu Anjiao cursed Yu Lizhu secretly.
"Go and call Mr. Zhao over." Yu Yuxi said coldly.
Just as the maid was about to take action, Yu Xijiao said, "Second sister, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate?" Yu Yuxi raised her eyes and looked at Yu Xijiao, "If something like this happens in the house, we can't let Mrs. Zhou investigate herself, right?"
"Mrs. Zhou went to visit her cousin, and then left her father's belongings to her cousin. And her cousin came over secretly to hide the things. Miss Yu, this matter clearly has something to do with this person in the house.
Mrs. Zhou has something to do with it." Xu Anjiao spoke softly, siding with Yu Yuxi.
Yu Lizhu looked at this, then that, and finally decided to agree: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with Mrs. Zhou in the house."
There was a lot of movement on their side, Minglan and the others also came over at this time, and Yu Zhuqing stood beside Yu Xijiao uneasily, feeling worried.
The scene in front of me is indeed very unfavorable to Mrs. Zhou. It makes people think that there is something wrong with Mrs. Zhou, and it is a very serious problem.
"Second sister, no matter whether you think there is a problem or not, it is not appropriate to bring a foreigner over for you to interrogate." Yu Xijiao shook her head and disagreed.
"What do you think the third sister should do?" Yu Yuxi asked the question to Yu Xijiao, "How about the third sister arrange this matter?"
