rich concubine

Chapter 867 Counterattack
After Qiu Xin finished speaking, it was like a hammer falling to the ground. Everyone's eyes turned to Qiu Niang. She panicked slightly and said hurriedly: "How can I harm you? How can you say such nonsense? You Do you want me to take the blame for what you did wrong? How can you be so evil in your thoughts!"

Qiu Xin looked at her coldly, took a deep breath, and said, "I was in a hurry just now. I was worried about the little lady's condition, so I didn't care about it with you, but it doesn't mean that I have a guilty conscience."

After saying that, she looked at Madam again and said: "Madam, I am not lying, but this matter is too suspicious. How come she woke up at that time? It happened that the young lady had a fever? And it just so happened that the window was facing Keep the young lady open? And her first reaction was not to go to the doctor, but to question the slave, the young lady is delicate and frail, how can she not be allowed to delay?"

Qiu Xin has always been gentle and weak, and Qiu Niang never thought that she would become so tough now. She was indeed a little panicked for a moment, but she still figured out some ideas and said: "Slave, I'm just worried. Qiu Xin will shirk her responsibility and think of her when she sees that the window is open, and this servant usually gets up early, is this the reason?"

Hearing this, Qiu Xin looked at her with tears in her eyes and said, "If I really did it, how could I not admit it? You are afraid that I will shirk responsibility. In fact, you are more afraid that you will not be able to press this matter. Put it on my head! You just want to convict me in a hurry."

Listening to their argument, Rong Yi calmed down. She took a sip of tea and looked at their blushing faces and thick necks as they argued. She suddenly snorted softly. Fu Ling only watched coldly, already knowing something in her heart. Son, the lady looked indifferent and said, "So until now, none of you are willing to tell the truth, right?"

Qiuniang said hurriedly: "Everything I said is true!"

This time, there was no need for the lady to say anything, and Fu Ling spoke: "You each have your own opinions. The father-in-law is right, and the mother-in-law is right, but only you two know the truth. Fortunately, these days, Zhao Yiyuan has stepped up patrols at night, and there are people patrolling around here almost all the time. If you want to know the truth of the matter, it is actually very simple. Just call the people who patrolled last night and ask them."

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but the color on Qiu Niang's face was not so pretty.

Why didn't she know when someone was still patrolling at night?

Seeing her puzzled expression, Fu Ling said: "These are usually out of control and I don't care much about it, but I do know about it. When people come later, the truth will be revealed immediately. Now you have one last time Opportunity, who is telling lies, who wants to shirk responsibility... Madam is not an unreasonable person. Madam has been very generous and kind to us, but if you deceive the Lord because of Madam's forgiveness, you will never be forgiven. Passed."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Xin said immediately: "Then please ask the people who patrolled last night to explain the truth. Then you will know if I am lying. If you do something that I have not done, I will tell you the truth."

After she finished speaking, she kowtowed her head, making a loud noise.

On the other hand, Qiuniang didn't have the confidence. Her eyes flickered slightly and she glanced at Poria with uncertainty. But thinking about it carefully, she really didn't realize that anyone else was patrolling around here at night. All the people living here were female relatives. , how can the people under Shu Yong's charge come here?

But Qiu Xin has already kowtowed and there is no room for maneuver. How can she retreat? If she retreats, won't she fall into a trap?

Besides, maybe it was Poria cocos that coaxed people?

There were no patrols, maybe they were trying to deceive them?
Thinking of this, Qiuniang became cruel, gritted her teeth and kowtowed, and said calmly: "If this is really the case, it would be better. I dare to swear that I have never lied, and I have never wronged Qiu Xin. Now, If there is someone who can prove your innocence, please quickly ask that person to show up!"

After glancing at the two of them, Fu Ling looked at the lady. Seeing the lady nodding, she withdrew. Not long after, several people dressed as secret guards came. The leader was a burly man named Yineng. After taking a look at the person standing next to her, the person stood up and said, "I have made it clear to you what needs to be explained. In front of the lady, no lies or deceit are allowed, so I will tell you what you saw last night." Let me report it to my wife on May [-]th." The man nodded, cupped his hand, and said hurriedly: "I also accept this report. At midnight last night, I passed by here. At that time, the window was still closed, but it was ugly at that time. When we come back, the window here will be open."

Qiu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but Qiu Niang's eyes were filled with disbelief. She didn't know that if someone really came to patrol this place at night, who were they guarding against?

Fortunately, he didn't see anyone, otherwise he would have fallen here.

Qiu Xin listened quietly. She raised her head and glanced at her lady, and saw that her expression was calm. For some reason, she slowly calmed down and stopped panicking.

Rong Yi asked: "Was there a strong wind last night?"

Yi Cheng: "No, the wind was light last night. If it was caused by the wind, it wouldn't be the case."

For a while, the atmosphere fell silent.

Rong Yi glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground and said in a calm voice, "Now, what else do you have to say?"

Qiu Xin didn't say anything, but Qiu Niang couldn't hold it any longer, and said hurriedly: "This is strange. The strange thing is that when I got up in the morning, the window was open. I thought it was sister Qiu Xin who forgot to close it last night, but But this little brother said that the child was still locked up, and he thought it was the slave who had wronged my sister."

damn it!Even her reason for retreat was blocked. The wind wasn't strong last night, so she couldn't be said to have been blown away by the wind. And that's unrealistic. How could that wind be such a coincidence that it didn't blow away other things? The window happened to be blown open, so what about the window facing the little lady’s bed?
She looked very embarrassed, and Qiu Xin's sister screamed every time, which made Qiu Xin's body covered with goosebumps.

Qiu's heart trembled to the ground, but she didn't feel soft because of her weakness at this time. She just said: "Just now Qiu Niang said it was all the slave's problem, but now the slave wants to ask her, when you got up last night, Didn't you notice that the window was open?"

Qiu Niang has the habit of getting up at night. Even Yu Heng knows this. Qiu Xin actually wanted to say it a long time ago, but she knew that saying it at that time would not convict her. On the contrary, she still had reasons to embarrass herself. It's just right to come back and ask at this time.

Qiuniang glanced at the lady hurriedly and hesitated.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Xin said again: "When the child's hour comes to the ugly hour, it is also the time when Qiu Niang gets up to see the young master. If the window is open at that time, why don't you close it?"
