in charge

...what else do you have to say? , the old lady sternly shouted.

A lot of age, full of voice, watching too many dramas to be your own master?Mo Zi is a modern soul, so she feels that in order to get out of Qiu Sanniang's business affairs, is this a big deal?

"Old lady, Mo Zi really has something to say. Mo Zi has never done what Si Niang said.

Since I made the old lady angry last time, grandma punished me to guard the bamboo forest.The third master likes bamboo, and the forest is dense and long. I am busy all day long, and the bamboo house is just a place to sleep. I usually have no time to tidy up the house.If the old lady doesn't believe it, just ask Hong Mei and Green Chrysanthemum and they will find out.Before Bai He went out, she cooked all the meals, and several people took turns to deliver them. "Words can be said to be modest, but she is actually full of words.

"Of course the green chrysanthemum and white lotus are helping you, how can you believe what they say?" Jin Si said lightly.

"Their words are unbelievable, how can that Si Niang's words be trusted? You used to be a celebrity in front of the third master. Since the third grandma came in, anyone with long eyes can see that you are no longer favored as before. Grandma is ill, We went outside to find the imperial doctors of the two dynasties, and they said it was poison. It may not be that grandma poisoned herself. At this time, you are referring to Mo Zi's behavior as unruly, and you are insinuating that grandma was instigating. Some people have evidence. But we also have people The evidence is that your godmother threatened the girl in the silent courtyard and asked her to put medicine in the food. Can I say that you ordered everything? The third master also knows about this. Grandma For the sake of the third master, I didn't tell the old lady and the empress. The empress just wanted to put your two children in the grandmother's yard not long ago, and now you are making up rumors about sex, with full motives." Mo Zi A twist of the corner of the mouth.

Then he said to the cold-faced old lady, "Mo Zi dares to say that these evidences must have been arranged by Si Niang in advance. The old lady and the empress do not believe her one-sided words. There are many people who come and go to the Academy of Silence on weekdays, girls, sir Erye, there are also the servants in charge, the girls and servants. Let’s invite one by one to ask, see if any of these people have seen Mo Zi climb the wall? Also, Si Niang, tell me, when and what time will you come to the bamboo forest to look for Mo? Purple?" "You..." Jinsi's calmness finally broke, and she stared.

"Because of emotion and reason, witnesses and physical evidence should be collected by a fair third party. The conflict between Si Niang and my grandmother is obvious to all, and it is not enough to collect evidence." Although Mo Zi's words come from the concept of modern forensic evidence, after her explanation, it is easy to understand .

"Mother..." Princess Wang thought, what Mo Zi said made sense.Yong'er has been neglecting Jinsi for a long time, her daughter-in-law's illness is severe, and Mo Zi said that they have evidence, it doesn't seem like a lie.

The old lady made up her mind, no matter how reasonable Ren Mozi said, it was reckless.She knew that Jinsi had her own purpose, but it just happened to provide her with a good opportunity.After using it, liquidate it.

"Unrepentant thief girl, take a good look at the bamboo ladder in front of you. Si Niang didn't just use it to plant piles. I sent someone to find it in your house. Look at you, cunning and talkative, in front of your masters. In front of her face, she still dares to be justified. Si Niang is really right in saying something, the third grandma spoiled her dowry girl so much."

Mo Zi lowered her head, as if she was looking at the few bamboo ladders, but she didn't dare to look directly at the old lady's eyes, and said, "Before Mo Zi moved in, this ladder was kept in the miscellaneous room of the bamboo house, and it was usually used for repairing bamboo. pruning.The old lady probably misunderstood.The ladder is so short, how can it go up the wall? "

The old lady didn't expect Mo Zi to react so quickly.At that time, when she saw these ladders, she was skeptical about Jinsi's words, and finally believed them.She would not allow Mo Zi to turn over such a crucial piece of evidence, and said with a sneer, "Don't think that this is enough to bluff people. There are a few ladders here. I've had them compare, and the sum of them is exactly the same as the wall." The height." "Adding up step by step?" Mo Zi tilted his head as if thinking about the feasibility, "How to add? Mo Zi doesn't understand. The old lady might as well ask someone to demonstrate to Mo Zi."

"I won't cry until you see the coffin." The old lady called in two strong wives and told them to move the ladder outside and tie it up with a rope.

After a while, no one came in to report that it was all right.The old lady sent her confidant woman out to look at it, but the woman came in and said that it was tied, but she couldn't stand it up, and the servants were trying different ways of tying it.So, I waited for a while.But this time, the ladder was able to stand up, but the boss was short.

The old lady and the princess went out to see it in person.

A girl came up, grabbed Mo Zi and followed her outside.

On a very cold night, the lights were bright, and the four-section ladder was finished, but it was just enough to pass the wall in the yard.

Jinsi Godmother snorted, "Tie the feet of the ladder, won't the ladder be taller?"

She thought she was smart, and the old lady didn't think she was stupid, so she asked the servants to do what the golden lady said.

Once tied, the overall height is certainly satisfactory this time around.

Just as the old lady wanted to scold Mo Zi, she let Mo Zi stop her with a single sentence...

Mo Zi said: "This ladder is tall, but how can I climb it?"

Everyone looked at the ladder again, each in a daze.There are four ladders, each six feet long, with only three horizontal bamboo ridges in the middle, one and a half feet at the head and two feet at the end, and no footholds.Between one section and another, the distance across the line is more than three or four feet.

"Why can't you climb?" Although it looks strange, three or four feet is not a big distance.The old lady found a taller servant and asked her to climb up to show them.

The servant struggled to climb the first section, and when he was climbing to the second section, the ladder suddenly began to slide.

Fu was startled, she was at a loss, she took the ladder and fell on all fours, ouch, screaming and hurting.

Mo Zi's ladders are famous.The bamboo poles at the head and tail are waxed, very zipline, and there is no crossbar, so if you tie both ends alone, it will naturally slide down under force.If even the cross bar is tied together, the height is not enough.To connect several ladders, you have to use her specially designed ladder buckles.It's a pity that the things that can be searched in that bamboo house will not include these.In other words, everything that people can see and find is what she calls, and everyone is welcome to visit and borrow.

Now, the only evidence is useless.

The old lady was thinking about what to do next when a woman hurried over from the other side of the garden.

"Old lady, the second master has come to greet you."

"Mother, it's not good to let Wei'er know about this matter. Besides, we have to leave some room for Yong'er. After all, his daughter-in-law has always been soft-hearted." Let me ask, she shouldn't be able to lie in front of her elders. "

However, the old lady refused to let go, and said to the woman who reported the letter, "Just say I'm resting, and please come back tomorrow morning." After that, she asked someone to bring Mo Zi into the house.

Jinsi Ganniang was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so she said after entering, "Old madam, my mother just brought this dead girl Mo Zi into the mansion, and met the second master in front of Weifengju. The second master is not fake to the old woman, right This girl is really good, let her tell the old lady why she is looking for her."

"I've seen that your hoof is thinking about it, and it's just for this, and I can't let you go easily." The old lady waved her hand, "Bring me a spicy board, beat her twenty times, and see if her mouth is still tough." Not tough, do you still dare to try to climb the master's hung?"

Spicy board is a kind of torture device used by rich people to discipline servants. There are half-inch-long wooden lumps on the board, which are like thorns when hit on the body, which hurts the flesh.It doesn't take too much force to achieve the effect of torture.

Mo Zi is Qiu Sanniang's dowry girl, if she is logical, the old lady has to ask Sanniang before she can teach her a lesson.But the Great Zhou abides by the benevolence and rituals of Confucius ~ monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons and sons.Sanniang is the daughter-in-law of this family, and since she is married, she is a member of the Xiao family.The members of the Xiao family have to listen to their elders.Don't talk about a dowry girl, Sanniang's life or death, it's up to them to decide.Sanniang still has her father to support her in the Qiu Mansion, and with the name of the eldest daughter, Mrs. Zhang dare not be too vicious.But now that she has become a daughter-in-law, her husband is heaven, and her husband's parents, grandparents, are heaven.What about selling the deed or not, in this Prince Jing's mansion, it is very easy to kill any girl.

Therefore, Mo Zi did not come up with that set of arguments.Saying it out is nothing more than making people beat harder.

"Tell me the truth, and I'll spare you the beating." Moringa was standing behind Mo Zi, and the old lady's eyes were cold. To make a living?"

Mo Zi raised his eyes, and Lou Ding was in his eyes, "Since the old lady asked about my grandma, why didn't she invite grandma to come? Even if Mo Zi can talk about the master's matter, he can't tell the master behind his back."

"She is your master, aren't we your masters? Sanniang is our Xiao family, and from the day you beat her into the mansion, you are my Xiao family's girl." The old lady's voice was extremely cold, without any intention of showing kindness.

Who said that a dowry girl can't be handled by the masters of the husband's family?If the dowry girl is not a girl, is it still Miss Qianjin?In this world, human relations are based on the distinction between superiority and inferiority, as well as differences between seniority and youth.If the dowry girl is well-behaved and the daughter-in-law is obedient, it is natural that these mistresses will not be able to take care of them.

Otherwise, beat as you should, and scold as you should, without any ambiguity.

"Mo Zi, we all know that your grandma has been in business with her father since she was a child. It is not a serious crime to start a business when she came to Shangdu. It's just that there are many rules in the palace. She is young and ignorant, and she made mistakes. As elders, we always I want to teach you a lesson. You don’t have to be afraid, just ask if Sanniang has these two places to make a living. She is my daughter-in-law and the old lady’s granddaughter-in-law, they are all from the same family, so can they eat her? You say it, and you won’t suffer from flesh and blood if you say it.” The princess persuaded kindly.

"Mo Zi, please see my grandma!" She didn't mention anything else.

"Call me." The old lady waved her hand.

The rattan board fell passionately.

The little girl outside heard the slapping sound and couldn't help being frightened, but it was strange that the person who was beaten didn't cry out.What they don't know is that it's not peaceful here, and it's even less peaceful outside.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, just waiting for the dawn. ! .
