When the Duke of Chu kicked him, he knew it was serious. If Wang'er was kicked to death by him, he would really feel sorry for his dead father and feel a little regretful. //. Baidu search: 78//[ ]( ·~ )
Fortunately, although Wang'er coughed up a mouthful of blood, he was not seriously injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Asked: "What's going on? Just explain it clearly, that's it. If you still dare to deceive each other, the friendship between you and me will be over."
Wang'er's father died saving the Duke of Chu. Over the years, the Duke of Chu treated Wang'er and his mother very well. He said they were servants, but in fact he didn't regard his mother as a servant. He also designated a separate courtyard in the mansion for his mother. Living here, Wang'er is serving here, but there is another little girl serving the blind mother.
Seeing that the Duke of Chu had reached this point, he felt regretful and afraid, and dared to hide it. He said: "Two days ago, the master said that a few chess pieces were missing and I don't know where they were lost. I thought that the master had brought the chessboard to the place that day. After staying in the study, I thought about going back to the study to see if I had dropped it in the study. Unexpectedly, when I arrived outside the study, I saw a window ajar. The slave remembered clearly that the window was closed when he left. So I secretly went to the window and looked in. Then I saw the second lady looking at the picture..."
When Wang'er said this, he looked at Qing Yi secretly.
Duke Chu followed his gaze and glanced at Qing Yi quickly.
Qing Yi just listened quietly, as calmly as if Wang'er was not talking about her.
The Duke of Chu secretly praised that this little girl had such determination and she was worthy of being his daughter. He said to Wang'er, "Go on."
Wang'er continued: "At this time, the spring in the second aunt's room came. When she saw me leaning on the window and peeking in, she secretly walked to the slave. The slave noticed in time and quickly pulled her away. Second aunt. The young lady seemed to hear the commotion and hurriedly put the picture back in its place and left."
Duke Chu said in a deep voice: "So. Qing Yi really didn't take this picture that day?"
Wang'er nodded, "I never took it away."
Duke Chu's face became more solemn, "Then why did you steal this picture?"
Wang'er said: "Second aunt asked the servant to take it.? Update as soon as possible? [~]"
Duke Chu's heart sank, as expected, "Why did she let you steal the pictures?"
Wang'er said: "The second aunt said that the second lady was doing some unreliable things outside, and now she went to steal from the master's room. Maybe she thought of something bad again. That's fine if the picture is not important, if it is important If I do, I'm afraid it will endanger the master. So I asked my servant to get the picture and show it to her to see if it is something important."
The Duke of Chu snorted, "She asked you to marry her?"
Wang'er said hurriedly: "Of course I refuse, but the second aunt said that I don't want to take the picture. She must have teamed up with the second lady to do something shady. Maybe the picture has been stolen by the slave and the second lady." The servant argued in every possible way, but the second aunt just didn't believe it, and even took the servant to see the old lady, saying that the servant had stolen the property of the house."
Duke Chu's eyes were half-squinted, and a meaningful light burst out, "Then what?"
Wang'er said: "This slave is innocent, so of course he refuses to admit it. I thought, as long as I take the picture and show it to my second aunt, it will prove my innocence. I just put the picture back. Nothing will happen. So I took it. Take the picture and show it to the second aunt. As soon as the slave handed the picture to the second aunt, he heard that the master had returned home and asked the slave to serve him. The slave knew that the picture could not be touched, so he did not dare to put it back in front of the master, so he I took the picture back to my room and hid it, thinking about waiting for the master to leave, and then secretly put it back. But when I got outside the study, I saw the master opening a hidden compartment. I was too scared to enter the house, so I hurried back to get the painting. When I returned home, I found that the picture was missing."
Chu Guogong said: "In that case, when I sent people to search the house, why didn't you come out and confess? Then why is this picture in the Qingyi Room?"
Wang'er said: "I lost the picture, and I was scared. I just wanted to find a way to find it first. Because I knew that the only people who took the picture were Er Yiniang and Dachun, so I went to ask Dachun to come out and ask, but I didn't expect that there was a well in the backyard. While waiting for Spring, I suddenly felt a pain in the back of my head, and I didn’t know anything at all. As for how I got to the second lady’s room, I really don’t know. [ ]”
The Duke of Chu said with a sullen face, "Are everything you said true?"
Wang'er said: "I will never dare to lie. (·~)"
Although the Duke of Chu was annoyed with Wang'er, he didn't want to punish Wang'er immediately before the matter was found out. He said: "Go back first, stay there, and don't leave. I will settle the score with you after I find out." , if you dare to leave privately, or if what you say is untrue, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Wanger went out wiping tears.
Qing Yi heard Wang'er's footsteps walking away and said, "Why did Dad think of checking this picture?"
The Duke of Chu accidentally received the news today that the palace deployment was leaked. The palace deployment was made by himself. If it was leaked, it could only be that the deployment plan he had hidden was stolen, so he hurried back. Who knows? Sure enough, the deployment plan was missing. "I received a message today saying..." At this point, he suddenly realized that he had let something slip. He quickly stopped and said, "I just turned it over on a whim."
Qing Yi naturally didn't believe this statement, but knowing that his father didn't want others to know that this map was the palace's deployment map, he didn't tell the truth and said: "Wang'er took the map and went out. Apart from Wang'er, only two people knew about it. Mom and Dachun, then it shouldn’t be difficult to find out who put this picture in my daughter’s room.”
The Duke of Chu did not answer Qing Yi's words, but asked Xiao Hua: "What did you mean when you said that it was not appropriate to have a big spring?"
Xiao Hua said: "In recent days, people often come to sell bean cakes at the door of the house. I have never seen the bean cake seller before, and every time the bean cake seller comes, Dachun will buy a few bean cakes. Old man Zhang's dog in the warehouse that night If you don't eat, the dog's feces the next day will be full of cake crumbs. If a person doesn't particularly like to eat something, naturally he won't always buy it. Now that he buys it, he always feeds it to the dog. If he is a It’s okay to be a dog lover, but he hates dogs. Isn’t this behavior too abnormal?”
According to this statement, Dachun's behavior is indeed strange, but what does it mean?
The Duke of Chu was also a man who led troops to fight in the past. In order to convey the news, he also tried all kinds of methods. After listening to Xiao Hua's words, he immediately thought that Dachun was borrowing bean cakes to contact people, but a girl who had been in the mansion for several years, Who could be contacted in such a sneaky way?
"Have you ever checked the origins of the bean cake seller?"
Xiao Hua said: "Xiao Hua felt something was wrong, so he told Manager Wei. Manager Wei went to investigate and said that the bean cake seller was a eunuch in the palace."
The Duke of Chu suddenly stood up, strode to the door, opened the door, and shouted to the outside: "Call Er Yi Niang and Dachun to me immediately."
After a while, Mrs. Yan came tremblingly.
As soon as Mrs. Yan came in, someone came to report that Dachun had hanged herself in her room.
The muscles on the Duke of Chu's face twitched. Yan was startled and turned pale with fright.
Xiao Hua saluted and said, "Xiao Hua will retire first." The Duke of Chu is now a family matter, and it is difficult for him as an outsider to get involved.
The Duke of Chu nodded, let him go, and glared coldly at Yan, "What's the purpose of asking Wang'er to take this picture?"
Yan's knees were so frightened that she fell to her knees and cried, "I'm afraid that Qing Yi will be fooling around outside and steal the master's things..."
Qing Yi has a flat mouth, but now that he's at this point, he's still making fun of her.
The Duke of Chu was furious, stepped forward and kicked Yan over, "If you don't tell the truth, I will beat you to death today, you bitch."
Mrs. Yan got up, hugged Duke Chu's calf and cried: "What I said is true. Even if I beat me to death, I would still say the same thing."
The Duke of Chu was so angry that he raised his hand to strike, and sang outside: "The old lady is here."
Yan's eyes lit up, the savior had arrived.
The Duke of Chu was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, and he slapped Yan in the face, causing Yan to roll on the ground.
He happened to fall in front of the old lady who was walking in.
The old lady looked at Mr. Yan who rolled to the ground, and her old face twitched with distress.
Yan immediately hugged the old lady's legs and cried: "Old lady, save me, old lady, save me, my husband is going to kill me."
When the old lady heard this, she was really angry and glared at Duke Chu, "You have been making that fox happy in that room all day long. When you see this one of mine, you either beat or scold me. What are you doing? Are your wings stiff? You can no longer tolerate our family? The general forced a girl to death and wanted to kill her too. What are you thinking? Since you can't look down on our Yan family, why don't you include me? Let's kill them. If all our Yan family members are dead, then Hu Mei will be relieved."
When the Duke of Chu saw that his mother was talking nonsense, he said anxiously: "Mother, where are you talking about? What does this bitch have to do with Yueniang for hooking up with outsiders to steal my children's things and cut her green clothes into dirty clothes?"
When Qing Yi saw this, she knew that there was no need to pursue the matter any further. However, there was an old lady in the way, so she couldn't just leave like this, so she had to stay there and look at the flowers in bloom outside the window.
The old lady glared at Qing Yi again and cursed: "You just go out and cause trouble all day long. When you get home, you want to make trouble in the house. Do you think that you have forced the second mother to death and only your mother is left?" Do you want to dominate the house? Let me tell you, as long as my old woman is still breathing, you two will never succeed."
Qing Yi frowned, glanced at the old lady whose face was distorted with anger, and walked away.
When the old lady saw that Tsing Yi didn't listen to her teachings honestly, she became even more angry and chased Tsing Yi with her cane.
Just as Lord Chu was about to stop him, Qing Yi turned around and grabbed the crutch that the old lady was holding in mid-air.
How could the old lady have the strength of Qing Yi? The crutch was caught by Qing Yi and could not be beaten or pulled out. Her old face turned red and she said angrily: "You beast, don't let me go yet."
Qing Yi said calmly: "Grandma is the head of the family. If there is a murder case in the family, she should clearly distinguish the right from wrong and find out the case. But grandma doesn't care about the facts and only follows her own personal feelings. How can we, the juniors, be convinced? ?”
