Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 84
Qiu Mingzhen's heart tightened, and she said, "It's all because of Mingzhen's lax control, which allowed this villain to take advantage of the loophole. I..."

However, Qiu Mingrong let out a gasp, and said in surprise, "Second sister, these maidservants only entered the mansion a few days ago. At that time, the aunt's rouge drunk had already been stolen, how could they have it?"

Qiu Mingzhen gritted her teeth, and secretly glared at Qiu Mingrong, her face turned slightly pale.

"I……"

The old matriarch's complexion was a little gloomy, but the eldest lady said in a strange way: "Second sister, although this drunken rouge is priceless, if Mingzhen likes it, I, as an aunt, will naturally give it to her. Hey, why bother... " Da Furen didn't finish her words, but anyone could understand the implication.It was nothing more than saying that Qiu Mingzhen stole her rouge drunk, and used it to severely beat the second wife.

The second lady pursed her lips tightly, her eyes became colder.Qiu Mingzhen turned even paler, "No, it wasn't me, I didn't steal it, I didn't..." She was about to get out of bed in a panic, and hurriedly defended herself.

"Grandmother, Mother, I didn't steal, I really didn't."

Aunt Yue hugged her body that was about to fall to the ground, and begged, "Taijun, Ming Zhen obediently accepted the ceremony, how could she do such a thing of theft? There must be someone obstructing it, intending to frame her."

The eldest lady snorted, "Framed?" Her eyes were sharp, and she said to Chun Wen who was kneeling on the ground in a cold voice: "You said, when did Rouge Drunk come into Pei Xiang's hands?"

Chunwen trembled, "Servant... I don't know." She looked at the maid next to her, "Xiaorui, you are the closest to Peixiang, when did you find out that she was drunk with rouge?"

"I..." Xiaorui's body trembled, and she weakly glanced at the people in the room, as if she was a little scared.

"The slave does not know."

"Trash." The eldest lady was furious immediately, "What's the use of raising you, someone—" She immediately showed the majesty of being a housewife, wanting to punish Xiaorui properly.

The second lady interrupted her before she finished speaking, "Sister-in-law, this is not your Dongyuan. Even if the maid in Mingzhen's room is at fault, I should take care of it if she wants to beat or kill her."

The eldest lady sneered, "You deal with it?" Her eyes were cold and sharp, with a stern look.

"The rouge drunk was given by my sister. It was not stolen the day before yesterday, and I haven't seen it yet. But I didn't want to, but it appeared in Jingshu Courtyard today. Second sister, do you think I have no right to interfere in this matter?" The lady's words not only It is suppressing the second wife, and at the same time telling the old matriarch that Mrs. Xue Guohou is still in the house.If this matter is not handled well, Mrs. Xue Guohou will find out, and the old matriarch will lose face.

The old matriarch's face darkened, and the eyes of the second lady were as cold as a slashed sword.The eldest lady stared back without fear.The second lady narrowed her eyes and suddenly smiled.

"That's right, after all, it's my sister-in-law's stuff, and my sister-in-law is indeed qualified to intervene."

The eldest lady snorted from her nostrils, her expression quite smug.The second lady changed her voice, "But—"

"But what?" The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, not giving an inch.

The second lady pursed her lips, "There is something wrong with this rouge drunk." She has recovered her aloofness and calmness, "Last time Mingyu touched that rouge drunk and suddenly became crazy, and today Mingzhen has the same thing. Mother, I think, this Something is very strange."

The old matriarch's face turned serious, and he looked at the eldest lady.The lady was anxious, "What do you mean?"

The second wife said indifferently: "Little sister has no other intentions. What happened in Jingshu Courtyard today, I know that the management is not good. But the culprit is that Rouge drunk. Sister-in-law, you can't escape."

The eldest lady was so angry that her chest and stomach fluttered up and down, "You—"

"Mother." Qiu Minglan said lightly, her eyes rolled slightly, and she said with a smile: "Second Aunt is right, but this reminds me. Last time, the drunken rouge on Seventh Sister's nails was recognized by Sixth Sister " She glanced at everyone's expressions calmly, and said: "Sixth sister has a lot of experience, but I can hear this rouge drunk without going out of the boudoir, I really feel ashamed."

As soon as these words came out, the old lady and the others immediately remembered.How did Qiu Mingyue know that Rouge was drunk?The situation was too chaotic last time, and the eldest lady was annoyed and forgot this important question again.Now that Qiu Minglan said this, everyone remembered.

Qiu Mingyu was stunned and immediately said harshly: "It's just a concubine who can't stand on the stage, how can she have the blessing to get such a good thing? Maybe she stole the rouge drunk."

The eldest lady looked gloomy and cursed in a low voice.

"Little bitch."

Qiu Mingzhu frowned, "Auntie, Fifth Sister was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and she is familiar with discipline and discipline. She will not be that young."

The eldest lady sneered, "Who knows? After all, it was raised by a small family and has never seen the world. It is not impossible to be jealous for a while when seeing a good thing." The eldest lady made up her mind to drag Qiu Mingyue into the water.Thinking of the last time Qiu Mingyu was punished and grounded, she still hates her so much.

"Mother is right." Qiu Mingyu also stood up and said, "How else would she know that Rouge is drunk?"

Qiu Mingzhu pursed her lips and remained silent.For Qiu Mingyue, she is an invisible chess piece in the second room.If there is a slight mistake, the second wife will definitely be able to see the clue.

Seeing her silent, Qiu Mingyu felt even more proud.

"The Shen family is not considered a very wealthy family in Yangzhou, and Aunt Shen has always been petty. How can she have something as noble as Rouge Zui?"

Qiu Minglan was secretly annoyed, the old matriarch's face had already darkened.

"It seems that after copying Buddhist scriptures for a few days, your heart still can't calm down." The old lady thought about the kindness of saving her life back then, so she favored Mrs. Shen everywhere.Although Shen's residence was not considered very rich back then, it was still a family of officials.Shen Shi used to be an innocent lady from a famous family, knowledgeable, reasonable, and understanding.She would never allow someone to slander the Shen family like this.

Qiu Mingyu's face turned pale, and belatedly realized that she had offended the old matriarch.Of course, she was even more jealous while being afraid.He closed his mouth indignantly.The eldest lady felt dissatisfied and wanted to argue a few words, but was stopped by Qiu Minglan.

"Grandmother, don't be angry, Third Sister is just talking nonsense for a while."

The old matriarch's face softened slightly, "Go and call Miss Fifth. Give this rouge drunk to Dr. Li for inspection." Of course the old matriarch didn't want to make matters worse, but the eldest lady and the second lady pressed on every step of the way, neither backing down.Today's matter is too complicated, but Mrs. Xue Guohou is at the house again.As the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall.If this matter is not handled well and spread out, it will be very detrimental to the Qiu Mansion.She believed that with Mingyue's intelligence, she would be able to save the day.

The eldest lady achieved her goal and smiled triumphantly.The second lady looked calm, neither happy nor sad.

The old lady ordered everyone to go to the front hall and sit down in the room.Qiu Mingzhen simply changed her clothes and knelt in front of the main hall.Xiaorui, Chunwen, Haitang, Narcissus, and all the maids in Jingshu Courtyard knelt behind her, bowed their heads and remained silent.
