Taoyao Order

Chapter 46 Clarification
After hearing Chu Ping's words, Chu Yuanshan felt a little hesitant in his heart. He could trust his own grandson, but he was afraid that the Tao girl was some unruly woman and used some dirty tricks to seduce him. He didn't know whether his innocent grandson was gone, so he just said: "What's going on between you and that Tao girl?!"

Chu Ping frowned, turned his head slightly and glanced at Qiuyue who was waiting beside the old lady's bed, and made a vague guess in his mind.

Chu Ping said frankly to Chu Yuanshan: "The story of the Tao girl should start from the 25th of the first lunar month, when my grandmother first fell ill. On that day, the matchmaker Shao brought the Tao girl to the house to visit her grandmother and mother, but Bai Bai The steward stopped them on the grounds that my grandmother was ill and my mother was not at home.

Shao felt that he was being turned down for the first time because he was disrespectful to the Tao girl, so he begged again to Manager Bai, but was humiliated by Manager Bai. "

After hearing what Chu Ping said, Qiuyue quickly knelt on the ground and said to Chu Yuanshan: "Old Master, it's impossible. My father has been the steward of the Chu family for so many years. How could he possibly humiliate the visiting lady? The uncle was not there at the time. , I must have mistakenly heard other people’s accusations.”

Qiu Yue's words are very reasonable. Chu Yuanshan knows Chu Ping and Bai Zhaowen, who has been the housekeeper of his family for 30 years. It is impossible for him to not be able to handle such a small matter well and still offend others, unless that person is messing around.

Chu Ping glanced at Qiu Yue and was almost certain that she was the one stirring up trouble behind her back. Chu Ping had also guessed that Qiu Yue was interested in him, so Bai Zhaowen would deliberately stop Tao Yao.Thinking of Qiuyue's admiration for him, Chu Ping did not expose this matter, but secretly helped his father and daughter cover it up.

He has deliberately alienated Qiu Yue these days, and no longer asks her to serve him on personal matters. He also hopes that she will understand what he means and have less delusions. When his mother comes back, Chu Ping plans to ask her to arrange a good marriage for Qiu Yue and give her more money. The box allowed her to marry gracefully, which also fulfilled the relationship between master and servant for so many years.

But who knows, she didn't know what she was up to today, and she actually made such a big fuss, but it was her own fault.

Chu Ping sighed and then said to Chu Yuanshan: "Grandpa, I was not present when Mr. Shao came. What I said was just hearsay. Grandpa can call the boy who was guarding the door that day to come over and inquire carefully."

With a look from Chu Yuanshan, Forsythia had already gone out and ordered the maid to look for him. Not long after, the four servants came in and saw Chu Ping kneeling on the ground. Wherever they dared to stand, they all fell to their knees.

Chu Yuanshan asked: "Are you the boys on duty in the outer courtyard that day?"

Two of them responded: "The slave was the gatekeeper that day."

The other two said: "I was on duty that day."

Jiurong was also inside.

It was a coincidence that that day, because Chu Ping was not at home, Jiurong was bragging with a few boys in the back seat.He also caught up with what was going on outside and watched the excitement for a long time. Just then, the mother-in-law came over to tell the boy who was on duty that day. Jiurong took the boy who was sitting down to talk with him that day and followed him. .

One is to watch the show and find out what happened in the inner courtyard, and the other is to see if there is a chance to help Chu Ping speak.

Chu Yuanshan said solemnly: "On the 25th of the first lunar month, a girl from the Tao family came to visit. What happened in the outer courtyard?"

The four of them looked at Qiuyue who was kneeling in front of them, but they also kept silent. If anyone sued Manager Bai here, the days ahead would probably be difficult.

Chu Ping spoke first: "Qiuyue, lead all the maids and women here to retreat."

Chu Ping opened his mouth, but Qiu Yue did not dare to openly disobey, otherwise, her feelings for Sima Zhao would be too exposed.Qiuyue stood up and led everyone out, but the four people looked at each other, their eyes still wandering. These four people testified to each other. If someone said something extra, it would be hard for Bai Guanshi not to know.

Chu Yuanshan didn't believe it at first, but now he looked at the expressions of these four people and became seriously suspicious: "Jiurong stays, you three go out, let Forsythia guard the door, no one is allowed to approach, you three immediately You are not allowed to whisper outside the door, and you have to come in one by one to reply. If anyone's confession is different from the others, he will be slapped and kicked out immediately."

When the four of them heard this, they kowtowed and begged for mercy. They responded without daring to tell a lie.

The three people exited, and Chu Yuanshan asked Jiurong to explain clearly what he saw at the door that day.Chu Yuanshan knew that Jiurong was Chu Ping's confidant, so he asked him to say it first. If he dared to favor Chu Ping and told a lie, the three people behind him could also detect it.

When Jiurong saw that there were no outsiders here, he didn't care about that many people and told everything that Guanshi Bai said that he could remember.

Chu Yuanshan and the old lady Xu frowned as they listened to Jiurong speaking vividly and vividly about the unpleasant words spoken by Steward Bai that day. They really couldn't believe that these words came from Bai Zhaowen.

Chu Yuanshan finally asked: "What about the Tao girl? What did she say and what did she do?"

Jiurong replied truthfully: "That Miss Tao kept sitting on the carriage without saying a word. It wasn't until Manager Bai and Mrs. Shao quickly started to take action later that she got off the carriage and stopped Mrs. Shao to persuade her. I persuaded Mrs. Shao to go home."

Chu Yuanshan frowned and listened, then scolded and said, "If you tell half a lie, even he won't be able to protect you."

Jiurong kowtows quickly: "Everything I say is the truth. If there is even half a lie, I will be struck by lightning."

Chu Yuanshan ignored his swearing and only ordered him to go out and call another boy guarding the door to come in.

Although these people were scolded by Manager Bai that day and were not allowed to talk nonsense, but now the old man is being tried one by one. If everyone else told the truth, he himself told a lie, and he was found out. No one is willing to take the risk of losing their job.

Furthermore, Jiurong followed Uncle Chu Ping. Just now Jiurong also told them that he followed Chu Ping out this morning to make amends to the Chen family. What does this mean? The eldest young master of the Chu family is Those who prefer Mrs. Shao, and Jiurong who prefers Chu Ping, at least one of them has told the truth.

The three of them struggled outside the door for a long time, but finally couldn't stand it anymore and chose to tell the truth.

Chu Yuanshan didn't believe what Jiurong said alone, but now that everyone agrees, he really has to believe it.

Chu Yuanshan only asked the four of them to stand outside the door and then said to Chu Ping: "Then what happened when you had a private meeting with her in the tavern?"

Chu Ping listened to the unpleasant words coming from Chu Yuanshan's mouth, and knew that if someone hadn't complained to his grandfather like this, his grandfather would never have said such words.
