Xu Qian was so angry that she was trembling with anger after hearing these three words.
Xiao Silang was clearly saying that she had no courage, but she had been taught by the Lu family since she was a child and was the most standard lady. How could she not be so generous that she couldn't bear to part with a box of tea balls?
However, for someone like Mrs. Wu, she really wouldn't give such an expensive tea group as a gift. It's not worth it.
"Xu Si Niang, don't be so angry that I faint. If this is spread, my lifelong reputation will be ruined in your hands." Xiao Yuan's words were full of ridicule, suppressing Jiaren County Lord A little worry that just arose.
"You, you are talking nonsense. How can a useless person like you be the one to decide this kind of thing! Uncle, we can't let him act recklessly here."
Xu Qian took a deep breath and complained at the same time. She tilted her head upward, but felt a little weak. She was obviously made even more exhausted by Xiao Yuan's words.
Xiao Yuan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Do you want Master Zhizhou to be a person who breaks his word?"
Xu Qian was stunned for a moment and did not reply. Her face turned even darker.
"Actually, I know where this tea group came from, but no matter where it came from, you gave it to Mrs. Wu in the end. Who knows if you added anything to it?" Xiao Yuan knew Zuihua. The poison of Meng is not something that a purdah lady like Xu Qian can encounter, so asking this is just a cliche.
Sure enough, after hearing that Xiao Yuan was deliberately placing the blame on herself, Xu Qian no longer cared about the identity of Jiaren County Lord, snatched his words and said: "The County Lord gave it to me, she can testify for me! "
Hearing this, Lord Jiaren County's impeccable face instantly turned pale, his brows furrowed deeply, and he scolded: "Xu Siniang, who do you think you are? I won't do it just to make friends with a concubine from the minister's house. I condescend to give you a gift!”
Xu Qian didn't expect that the head of Jiaren County would shirk the situation so directly and forcefully, without even giving her any face.
She was stunned for a moment, and then when she saw Xiao Yuan's meaningful smile, she realized the fact that she had been ignoring.
The tea balls given to her by the head of Jiaren County were originally poisonous. He specially asked her to send them to Mrs. Wu just to put the blame on her!
She had always believed that Lord Jiaren County had no motive to harm Lady Wu, and had never suspected that the tea balls were poisonous. Instead, he doubted what the government said.
It seems now. She was so wrong...
Is the Lord Jiaren County trying to harm her?
But how could she, a concubine from the palace of a minister, be worthy of being framed by Lord Jiaren?
Many thoughts flashed through Xu Qian's mind like lightning before she spoke again. Already a little more calm.
She was at a loss before because she had no clue about the matter, but now she has figured out some things and has some confidence to speak.
"County Lord, you say this. Don't you feel guilty?"
"Xu Siniang, what do you mean?" The head of Jiaren County sat up higher. The voice was not loud, but it was full of temptation.
Xu Qian sneered and said: "The tea ball was originally given to Mrs. Wu by the county master, so that she could do her best to embroider it for you for the peony banquet. But now you refuse to recognize it? Zhizhou Sir, if you have any doubts, you can go check it out. Did the official give a tea group to Prince Ning's mansion, and who made the trousers worn by the Lord of Jiaren County during the Peony Banquet."
Lu Yijian said nothing. He just nodded to his subordinates outside the room, who nodded in response and left immediately.
Su Ye, who was far away, left quietly when Xu Qian finished speaking.
Xu Nuo secretly praised Xu Qian's cleverness that she had used on her earlier, and it finally came in handy now. She could turn her head quickly and save some words for Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan looked at the aggressive look of Lord Jiaren County, with deep disdain and hatred flashing in his eyes. This is the true face of this woman.
The emotion on his face swept away, and he said: "County Master Jiaren, please don't scare the suspect I'm interrogating, but why do you have such a big reaction? Could this matter really be related to you?"
"Xiao Silang, you'd better not talk nonsense. I just don't like some people throwing a shit basin over my head." After the Master of Jiaren County finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Qian with disgust, and then no longer looked at her. Look in Xu Qian's direction.
The head of Jiaren County has always been confident, even arrogant. She believed that things would develop in the direction she arranged. However, she did not expect that Lu Yijian and Xu Gucheng arrived at the Lu Mansion earlier, and it was difficult for the general judge to take Xu Qian away.
However, as long as Xu Qian is interrogated by Tong Ju, her plan will still go smoothly.
But she never thought that Xiao Yuan would appear halfway and ask a few random questions to make Xu Qian doubt her.
In this way, she got confused and said something she shouldn't have said.
However, she is the head of the county, and as long as she denies it, no one will dare to do anything to her.
Xiao Yuan reached out and touched his chin and said: "As long as you don't do anything dirty, everyone will be blind and put a shit basin on your head."
The head of Jiaren County was very angry at Xiao Yuan's words, and the handkerchief in his hand was so tight that it lost its shape.
While he was talking, the person who checked the news had returned, and it was exactly what Xu Qian said.
"I have used so many embroiderers, how can I poison each one to death? It's really ridiculous. What's more, I'm in short supply of someone as skilled in embroidery as Madam Wu, so why bother to harm her?" Jiaren The county leader snorted coldly, with an expression that said you naive guys don't even think about fighting me.
Xiao Yuan stroked his palm again and praised: "Master Jiaren County, what you said is very good, but what if you just want to silence Mrs. Wu? Or she embroidered better clothes for others, causing you to fail at a certain banquet." Are you being compared to others?"
"You..." Jiaren County Lord was choked and speechless.
Xu Qian suddenly realized: "Yes, Lord Jiaren County wants to silence Mrs. Wu, that's it!"
She almost jumped on Xiao Yuan in excitement, but stopped at the last moment. After stepping back, she glanced sideways at Ding Mo. Seeing the bored look on his expression, her heart ached slightly.
Xiao Yuan fanned the air in front of him with his hand in disgust and said, "Mrs. Xu Fourth, you might as well talk about it."
Xu Qian took a deep breath and said: "Everyone should know that there is another Xu Liu Niang in the Xu family. Liu Niang is two years younger than me, and her appearance is also good. Her tea skills are as good as those of the fifteenth son of the Ye family, and she was recruited into the palace by the empress. Order tea. She also practiced calligraphy well, and was better than many gentlemen present. The emperor once praised her personally. During the Chinese New Year, the Cuju team formed by Liu Niang and Sanniang of the Hu family defeated the team of the head of Jiaren County and took away the Jiaren County Lord's limelight. It is precisely because of this that Jiaren County Lord was jealous of Liu Niang, so he took action when his mother invited the embroiderer."
Xu Qian praised her promise as a flower, and Xiao Yuan only found it funny. Xu Qian has wanted to put her promise to death several times, but now she acts like a good sister, which is really disgusting.
"Mrs. Wu has always been a member of the Lord Jiaren County, and has helped her embroider many women's clothes. When my mother invited the embroiderer, the Lord of Jiaren County specially asked someone to introduce Lady Wu to my mother. After Lady Wu came to the Xu Mansion , before attending Mrs. Hu’s birthday, she took a handkerchief embroidered by Liu Niang herself, and planned to let the handkerchief fall inadvertently during the banquet, in order to let everyone know that Liu Niang is not perfect, and her female workers are not allowed to be seen."
After Xiao Yuan heard this, he asked: "I heard that the embroidery on that handkerchief was very exquisite and was circulated by everyone. How can it be unacceptable?"
"That's because Mrs. Wu was kind-hearted and couldn't bear Liu Niang's reputation, so she gave up. But her actions to defend Liu Niang made the Lord Jiaren very angry, so..."
She didn't say the next words, but everyone understood what she meant.
Xu Qian made up something that was true and false, but it still sounded very convincing.
Everyone looked at the Lord Jiaren County.
The Lord of Jiaren County looked angry, threw the handkerchief on the table, and asked: "Let me ask you, how do you know these things?"
If you are not a participant, you shouldn't know about such a secret and dirty thing.
