Suddenly a maid came in at the door, holding a bag of dirty things in her hand. No one knew what was inside.
"Why don't you show everyone what you're holding in your hand?" Su'er pointed at the maid.
"yes."
The maidservant stepped forward and slowly opened a corner of the cloth with a pair of very rough hands, revealing some black gray carbon inside.
Mei Yuanqing sat on the chair, looking at the pack of black carbon, frowning, "Wei, what are you doing again?"
Wei Jingwei didn't look at him, but said quietly: "Don't be anxious. Let this maid speak for herself."
Zhang Ruoruo became anxious when he saw a pack of charcoal fire. He hurriedly propped up his body and said anxiously: "Ahem...what is sister-in-law doing? I'm not feeling well. There are so many people in the room right now. It makes me panic." .The doctor also told me to rest..."
Before she could finish her words, Wei Jingwei interrupted with a half-smile: "Sister Zhang, why are you so anxious? It seems that this maid really has something to say, so why don't we listen to it all."
Zhang Ruoruo: "I don't think it's necessary. What can she say to a maid who is just a rude servant? I want to take a rest now. It's better to talk about it another day."
"Sister Zhang, just let her say it. No matter what she says, she can't cover up the mean fact!" Brother Cheng said unconvinced.
"You..." Zhang Ruoruo finally came around and asked Brother Cheng to interrupt again. Suddenly, his chest hurt with anger and he actually started coughing.
"Sister Zhang feels guilty and doesn't dare to let me say anything." Wei Jingwei continued to say.
"Just say what you want, why bother being so pushy." Mei Yuanqing couldn't bear to listen. Although she didn't know what Wei Jingwei was trying to do, she immediately spoke coldly.
Just wait for his words.
"Okay, you continue to speak, speak well, and you must tell the truth. You are not allowed to say anything that is not completely true."
After receiving the order, the maid Sasao looked around at everyone with fearful eyes. Then she looked at Wei Jingwei's eyes and said calmly, "I am the maid Sasao in the garden outside. She is in charge of this place on weekdays. Yesterday .... Last night, it was very dark, and the slaves happened to be on duty nearby, so they watched the maid Sister Guizhi next to Miss Zhang secretly come out of the house with a bag of things, and then walked to a tree in the garden. She buried it. It was dark at the time and she was sneaking around. The slave was very curious and wanted to see what it was..."
"You're talking nonsense! Guizhi was with me yesterday. When did you go out? My sister-in-law didn't expect you to be such a person. You actually found a rough maid to slander me."
"Sister Zhang, don't worry, why don't we listen to the maid first?"
"you!...."
Zhang Ruoruo felt a little panicked, but quickly calmed down.
This maid said she saw it, but what evidence was there to prove it? She just wanted to bite him to death and say it was slander! She didn't believe that Mei Yuanqing and Brother Cheng could still trust her, and she didn't trust herself.
"Okay, tell me! I'm upright and not afraid of slanted shadows." Zhang Ruoruo said with a deliberately aggrieved look.
"The slave continued,.... I followed behind, opened the bag and saw that it was a bag of gray charcoal. The slave didn't know why Miss Zhang threw away such a precious bag of gray charcoal, but the servants in the mansion The black charcoal used by the slaves and the slaves is not resistant to burning, and the smoke is very strong. So I thought... if Miss Zhang doesn't want it, the slaves will take it back and use it themselves."
"Well, I understand." Wei Jingwei looked at Zhang Ruoruo indifferently, "Tell everyone, I didn't give you charcoal fire, which caused you to catch a cold yesterday. Then I want to ask, what are these charcoal fires? This maid is She said that she saw Guizhi throw it away with her own eyes. Could it be that there is too much charcoal fire in Sister Zhang’s house? "
"If sister-in-law is afraid that brother Yuan Qing will hate you because of this matter, and finds a maid to slander me, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. It's better to learn to treat others well in the future..."
Wei Jingwei felt sick when she looked at her very reasonable and kind look. Mei Yuanqing's taste was really unique.
"You don't admit that it was discarded by Guizhi, do you?"
"Yes, Guizhi has always been by my side and has never done anything like this."
Wei Jingwei looked at Guizhi on the side again, but Guizhi's eyes flashed away.
She smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. This maid not only saw it yesterday, she even had evidence. Guizhi left something behind."
Zhang Ruoruo's eyes widened and he glanced at Guizhi subconsciously. Guizhi stood there with panic-stricken eyes, constantly thinking about whether he had left anything behind, and the expression on his face was clearly visible.
"Guizhi, you have to think carefully before speaking. If you take the initiative to admit it now, that's all. If you take out the things later and you talk about it later, you will be dealt with according to the rules. Su'er, come and tell Guizhi that in our house What is the punishment for this kind of thing?"
Wei Jingwei's tone was low and her eyes were fixedly looking in the direction of Guizhi.
Su'er took a step forward, looking in the direction of Guizhi and said: "According to the rules of the mansion, if someone deceives the master of the design, and still quibbles and refuses to admit it, he will be beaten thirty times in public and then sell the mansion. , will never be hired.”
Guizhi, who was already feeling guilty, started to tremble like chaff when he heard thirty boards in front of the public. Then he heard that the house was sold and the user would not accept it. Finally, I was scared out of my wits.
If the house is sold and it is in the hands of Ren Yazi, what good fruit can the servants who have committed crimes get to eat and go to a good place?
It's nothing more than selling it to some obscene and dirty place.
If she can only wait for death wherever she goes, what hope does she have?
She still has some color, and she wants to get married properly in the future.
After thinking about this clearly, Guizhi knelt down with a thump.
The eyes on her face dropped. She was quite pretty, and she usually liked to dress herself up. But now she was scared out of her wits, and she couldn't still look as cute as usual.
While kneeling, she moved towards Wei Jingwei, held on to her skirt and cried: "Mrs. Wei, I will tell you anything. I just ask you to remember my confession and don't sell me out." Go to that place, I don’t want to go to that place. I don’t even want to die. Please.”
Wei Jingwei took a step back slightly, took the skirt out of her hands, and said, "If you explain properly, maybe I will give you a chance."
After hearing this, Guizhi's eyes suddenly brightened up, and she laughed and cried at the same time, "I said, I will tell you everything..."
"Guizhi!" Zhang Ruoruo saw that Guizhi was about to confess, her face turned pale with anxiety, and her fingers pulled the quilt and mattress under her so hard that her knuckles lost their color.
