Two or three maids went straight to Yaoxiang. Yaoxiang's face was full of fear, her hands tightly protected the things in her arms, she curled up into a ball, and refused to hand over the brocade box.
A proud smile appeared on Yu Chutian's lips.
"Sister, look at your maid, you are so well protected? Is it possible that there is something shameful in that box? Someone! Since she refuses to hand over the box, she will be punished with a whip!
Our Yu Mansion cannot tolerate such a deceitful slave!"
"stop!"
Yu Weiyin opened his mouth and hurriedly spoke to his father.
"Dad, the family tradition of the Yu Mansion has always been against harsh punishments. What's more, Yao Xiang is my personal maid. How can I bear to let her suffer like this? Why not let my daughter persuade her and let her hand over the box."
Yu Song nodded in agreement.
"Yinyin makes sense. Go and persuade her. Dad is also curious about what she is holding in her arms."
Yu Song then walked to Yao Xiang, squatted down, carefully tucked her sweat-soaked pieces behind her ears, and asked softly:
"Yao Xiang, Miss believes that you are not that evil-hearted person. Tell Miss, what is it that you are protecting in your arms? Why don't you let someone open it and take a look? Doesn't this mean you have been wronged by others for nothing?"
"Miss……"
Yao Xiang cried out.
"This slave cannot show this box to others... Taoist priest Yangming, who is right and considerate, ordered that this thing cannot be shown to others, otherwise my sincere wish will not come true, so I cannot hand over this box..."
"You bitch is talking nonsense!"
When Yu Chutian heard this, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and scolded, "What you are holding in your arms is obviously the golden nanmu box I gave to my sister. Why are you talking nonsense about some Taoist priest? Dad! Why listen to her nonsense and directly
Let someone snatch her box away and you’ll know after opening it?”
"Why are you so anxious, sister? It's not too late to let Yao Xiang finish before opening the box and taking a look."
Yu Weiyin glanced at her and continued to ask Yao Xiang.
"Yao Xiang, it's okay. Go on, what did you wish for? And why did you use the bar to smash the box?"
Yao Xiang had a troubled look on her face, and Yu Weiyin said again: "Don't be afraid. If you are worried that your wish will not come true, we can go to the Taoist temple to pray again another day. You can safely tell me the reason, otherwise Miss
It’s hard for me to protect you.”
Yu Song said in a deep voice: "Yes, Yao Xiang, you have grown up in the Yu Mansion since you were a child. I believe you must have your own difficulties, please tell me."
Upon hearing this, Yao Xiang hurriedly kowtowed to Yu Song, and then said with a sad expression: "Master, Miss, the thing is like this, I had a dream two days ago, about Mrs. Liu..."
"What?"
Upon hearing his late wife's name, Yu Song couldn't help but stand up, approached Yao Xiang, and asked eagerly.
"I dreamed about Madam. Did Madam say anything to you?"
"In the dream, the lady begged her slave, saying that there were evil spirits and demons haunting her ghost, and asked her to go to the Taoist priest for her to meditate with a straight mind and find ways to drive away the evil spirits. After the Taoist priest Yangming finished the meditation, he put the box
Give it to the slave and say that the evil spirit has been sealed inside. Let the slave find a secluded place, bury it under the peach blossom tree, and hit it with a bar and stick more than a hundred times, so that the lady's soul can be stabilized.
"This servant was thinking of Madam's kindness, so she went to the back garden when no one was around, hoping to finish the matter quietly. But she didn't expect that she was only halfway done. The second lady led Bitao and Jiaohong without saying a word.
Then he twisted the slave's arm and said that the slave had smashed the white jade bracelet. The slave thought that Taoist Yangming said that he could not reveal the matter easily, so he kept silent..."
Yao Xiang wiped away her tears, swallowed her throat and continued.
"But I didn't expect that the Second Young Lady would insist on placing the blame on this slave... This slave is really unjust! Now that this method is broken, if the madam's soul is disturbed, it is all the evildoing of the Second Young Lady, and this slave has no shame.
Goodbye ma'am!"
Yu Song's eyes widened after hearing the previous words. Thinking of his deceased wife Liu, he couldn't help feeling sad and painful. He patted his chest and said:
"My wife! I missed you!"
"Dad! Don't listen to this bitch's nonsense, it's just lies!"
Yu Chutian gritted her teeth and stared at the box in Yao Xiang's arms. Seeing the opportunity, she took a big step forward, then quickly leaned over and stretched out her five fingers like a hawk. After grabbing the box with strength, she moved towards it.
Then quickly retreated.
When Yao Xiang saw that the box in her arms was taken away, her face turned pale with shock and she shouted:
"Second Miss! Don't open it!"
Yu Song's eyes widened, and his heart seemed to be pressed under the palm of someone's hand. He could hardly breathe, and he blurted out: "Chu Tian, don't be impulsive!"
How could Yu Chutian listen?
She only thought that Yao Xiang was talking nonsense, just distracting her father's attention so that bitch Yu Weiyin would not be punished.
Therefore, as soon as the box arrived, she couldn't wait to tear open the autumn-colored fabric, and she was shocked when she saw that it was a carved wooden box made of red lacquer and huanghuali, not the golden nanmu inlaid with emerald jade that she had given.
.
Is it possible that the contents of this box are really what Yao Xiang said?
No no no, impossible!
Bitao and Jiaohong saw with their own eyes that the box contained a white jade bracelet!
Those two maids have been bribed by her, they must not dare to deceive her!
She then turned her gaze back to Bi Tao and Jiao Hong, and when she saw the two maids nodded fiercely towards her, Yu Chutian became convinced, and without any hesitation, she suddenly opened the lid of the box.
The air in the room was as suffocating as deathly silence at this moment.
Yu Chutian's eyes widened, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
She looked at the thing in her hand in disbelief. What was in the box was not the white jade bracelet she thought, but a string of Five Emperors coins tied with a red string!
This, this is really...
Yu Chutian stared blankly at the box in her hand, picked up the Five Emperors Money and took a closer look. Before she could react, a heavy slap was slapped on her delicate cheek. She was so shocked that Ms. Liang stood up in a hurry.
He stood up and called out: "Master!"
Yu Song raised his hand, snatched the box from her hand, closed it with a bang, and said angrily:
"Chu Tian! I think you should give a good explanation for today's farce! Why did you frame your sister like this? And why were you so vicious and opened the box that suppresses evil spirits rashly?"
Yu Weiyin had tears in his eyes and choked up:
"Dad, if my mother's ghost is disturbed by evil spirits again, my daughter will really have trouble sleeping and eating... My daughter doesn't know what grudges her sister has against me, so she always targets her. My daughter is really wronged, wuwu
Woo..."
"No--that's not the case!"
Yu Chutian was unwilling to give in, she covered her burning face and shouted.
"Dad! Bi Tao and Jiao Hong are your maids. They saw it with their own eyes! How dare your daughter frame her sister? If you don't believe me, just ask these two maids!"
Yu Song was so angry that he glared at the two maids.
"Bitao, Jiaohong! Tell me, what is going on? Why did you just say that you saw with your own eyes that Yaoxiang smashed a white jade bracelet?"
