The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 26 Framing
Everyone in the mansion knew that the third lady was from a small family, but because of the rich dowry back then, the people in the mansion looked at her with admiration.And among her dowry, the rarest thing is a square brick jade that is as big as two teacups.

This beautiful jade is white and transparent, round and clear. If it is hot and dry in summer, just put it in your hand for a while to cool off.

Wu Wanhua loves clothes and jewelry the most. He has twice or three times wanted to exchange the precious jadeite with the beautiful jade of the third wife. This is a rare item of the third wife, so naturally he didn't want to exchange it, so he pretended to be stupid and prevaricated several times.Now that I point it out in person, she is naturally very embarrassed.

If you give the jade, it will be a pain like gouging out the apex of your heart, if you don't give it, the big talk has already been uttered.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Wu Wanhua was drinking Dahongpao from a teacup, and she was waiting for the third lady to reply.

Even if she doesn't like me, she will naturally accept this favor.

The third lady is not too stupid at the moment, she said softly, "That Fang Yu has been playing with it for many years, and it is considered an old object. How can I send an old object for the mistress's birthday. I must have prepared other valuable gifts. "

Disappointment quickly flashed in Wu Wanhua's eyes, he took a sip of the tea soup, put the tea bowl on the table, and said with a smile, "That's really troublesome sister."

"Sister, I should." The third lady saluted, her eyes full of embarrassment.

After this commotion, the third lady's arrogance disappeared a lot, but she still did not give up and said, "Don't say it because of it, no matter what, it's wrong for you to leave the house today, and you have to follow the family law for reasoning.

Moreover, if you go out for a long time, even if you are buying gifts, you should have come back long ago.Tell me, where are you going this afternoon? "

Ok?This word...

"Sister, why are you so anxious, don't scare Qingmu."

The second lady, who had not spoken all this time, opened her mouth. She habitually stroked the veil with her hand, and said, "Qingmu is still a child, so her memory is naturally not very good. If you ask me like that, she might be too nervous to remember. Didn't she bring her maid with her when she went out, so you can ask that maid, her lady, where she went today."

The third lady immediately said, "That's right, Lu Zhu, come and talk back."

Luzhu hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Tell me, where did your lady go today, think it over before you tell me a lie, and tear your mouth apart!"

"I don't dare, slaves don't dare." Lu Zhu hurriedly kowtowed, and said slowly, "Today, my young lady went to the market when she went out. After shopping for a while, she went to a restaurant to eat, and then she came back."

"Oh?" the third lady asked, "I just went to these places, didn't I go to other places?"

Luzhu immediately kowtowed, "I dare not hide it."

"Heh..." The third lady snorted, "Chuhe, give me a hard slap!"

The servant girl next to her responded, and came over and raised her hand to hit her. I stopped her, pushed her half a step away, and said coldly, "What is the meaning of the third lady!"

"What do you mean?" The second lady sneered, "Of course she is punished for lying! Don't you know where the two of you went this afternoon? This servant dared to hide it, so naturally he should slap her!"

I seemed to understand it in my heart, but I asked, "What do you mean by Ma'am?"

"What do you mean, you still have the nerve to ask, you are a majestic lady of the general's mansion, and you actually change into men's clothing... Going to a place like Hualou is really embarrassing to the general's mansion!
If someone hadn't seen it and came to report it, they wouldn't have known that you were so absurd. Sister, if you don't punish severely today, what face will the General's Mansion face! "

Now, I completely understand.

Before I entered Yinhonglou, I watched it on purpose, but there was no one around at that time.There are few men in the mansion, so the guards will naturally not go to the place where money is sold.If someone saw it, there is only one person who is the most likely, and that is the second lady
The third lady wanted to vent her anger, thinking that if they caught me, they would not forgive others.

In fact, it is only used as a pathfinding spear, so it doesn't matter how it is sold. .

I turned cold, and asked with a little indignation, "Ma'am, Qingmu can't understand what flower building you are talking about, but it must not be a good place just by listening to the name.

There must be evidence for everything. Since you said that Qingmu went to Hualou, you are talking empty words, where is the evidence? "

The third lady was taken aback, "Of course someone saw you go and told me. Otherwise, how would you know you went to Hualou!"

Then I asked her again, "Whoever saw it, whoever told it, you call the person here, and I will confront that person face to face! Black is black, and white is white. It is a matter of my reputation, and this matter cannot be ambiguous!"

This... the third lady's face was a little ugly, she said for a while, "I heard from a servant, because I was in a hurry, I didn't see who the servant was."

"It's not difficult. There is a registration book for people entering and leaving the house. As long as the housekeeper checks the register carefully, it will be clear who left the house during that time." After speaking, I went to call the housekeeper.

The third lady immediately stopped me, and after a long pause, she said with an ugly face, "Actually, it wasn't a servant who told me, but I was drinking tea in the room, and suddenly a piece of paper flew in, on which was written your whereabouts today."

"Alright." I nodded and asked in a cold voice, "Where is the ball of paper? Please take it out and have a look, Madam. In front of the mistress, I would like to see who framed me!"

The third lady's face became even uglier, she pondered for a while, and said, "The paper...after I finished reading the ball of paper, it caught fire by itself and turned into ashes..."

I can't wait to laugh three times, God help me too!Since someone has done things so beautifully, wouldn't it be boring if I didn't beat the dog in the water!

I immediately fell to my knees with a plop, pinched myself hard, and said with tears in my eyes, "Aunt Mistress, you heard everything. I ask Aunt Mistress to decide for me about today's matter."

Qing Mu originally went out to buy gifts for her aunt, perhaps because she wanted to have fun, and went shopping for a while, but she definitely didn't go to any flower houses.The third lady has nothing to prove, and there is no evidence, so she came here to slander me, and ask the mistress to uphold justice for me! "

As I said that, I pinched myself again, this time harder, and tears flowed out.

The third lady was anxious, "Sister! I'm not lying, someone really threw a ball of paper over, and after I read it, the paper ball really ignited!"

I sobbed and said, "Third Madam, don't say it anymore. Qingmu understands. Qingmu spoke too bluntly. Maybe she didn't know when she offended Madam. If Madam is still unhappy, then today's family law, Qingmu will admit it." Yes, but please take back the words of the third lady who framed me, Qingmu has never been to Hualou, just not!
What paper balls, what burned themselves.Qingmu is only nine years old, so she can figure out some truths, so why do you embarrass me so much, madam! "

"You! You!" The third wife was so angry that she couldn't speak.You waited for a long time, your face flushed from holding back, and finally you were speechless.

I cried even more happily, letting the mistress make the decision, and the third lady kept defending.

Wu Wanhua didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, she stretched out her hand to rub the center of her eyebrows.In the end, he even said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, let's stop here for today. I have a little headache, Jinru, quickly bring me the pill for my headache."

"Yes, mistress." Jinru quickly walked over, opened a small delicate porcelain bottle, and gave her two pills.

After a while, she frowned, put her hand on her forehead and said, "Let's end today's matter, don't mention it in the future, go back, I have to sleep for a while." After finishing speaking, she asked Jin Ru helped him into the house.

This is the end of the matter, no intention of staying for a long time.

The second lady left first, and the third lady gave me a hard look, then left.Lu Zhu helped me up and called softly, "Miss..."

I glanced at her and signaled her not to speak.

"Miss." As soon as he stepped out of Tingxue Pavilion, the housekeeper immediately greeted him, but he was actually waiting at the door.

I smiled slightly and made a salute, "Thank you Uncle Housekeeper today."

The butler hurriedly bent down and said, "Oh, young lady, I dare not be, I dare not be, it's late at night, the old slave should raise the lamp to send the young lady back."

It was Shen time when I came back, and after a long time of tossing, it was already halfway through You time, and it was time to raise the lamp.

"Thank you, Uncle Housekeeper." I nodded.

"Should be, should be." The butler immediately went to take out a Linglong Babao, etc., lit it with a torch, walked beside me, and illuminated me all the way.The time for a cup of tea is as far as my small courtyard.

"Miss, go back, the old slave is leaving now." The housekeeper said softly.I nodded, and he saluted and left.

After returning to the house, I asked the servant girl to boil hot water to wash, and after drinking the medicine, she changed her clothes and lay down.

Perhaps I was tired, but I didn't want to think about anything, so I closed my eyes and slept until dawn.

Early the next morning, the housekeeper uncle sent me and Su Qingxue to Qinglan Pavilion.

The two of us got out of the car and entered the pavilion, and went to our residences separately. Before we reached the small courtyard, I heard someone calling me from a distance. Zi Yang.

"Hi! Sister of the Su family. Knife, where is my knife? Did you buy it? I didn't sleep almost all night last night. When I fell asleep, I would dream of that knife. Did you buy it? Give it to me quickly."

I was a little dizzy, I didn't expect Rong Ziyang to be so persistent, he would wake up early in the morning and ask me for a knife.

But well...

I sighed and said, "I haven't bought the knife yet. I sneaked out of the house yesterday and was caught by the mistress. I'm afraid I can't go out casually in the future, and I can't buy the knife for you for the time being."

Rong Ziyang didn't believe it, "No way, you are a young lady, why are you restricted in going in and out?"

I sighed, "What did I lie to you for? Yesterday, the family law was almost used. If you don't believe me, ask Lu Zhu."

Mine is the truth, Luzhu nodded immediately.

Rong Ziyang was a little depressed, "Then what about my knife?"

I thought about it, and said, "How about this, I'll tell you the general location of the hawker stall, and you can go around by yourself, maybe you will come across it."

Rong Ziyang said, "That won't work. Once you find the wrong one, the one you bought is different from yours. It's a fake among fakes. I won't be at a disadvantage. You should buy it. It's just that whether you can get out is a problem..."

He touched his chin a few times, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "I have a solution!"
