The woman glanced at Lin Mengya tremblingly, then gritted her teeth and spoke.
"It was Miss Bai Shao who instigated me. She said that because Bai Zhi's hands and feet were not clean, it ruined her good deeds. So, she wanted to teach Bai Zhi a small lesson. Master, please calm down. This slave has accepted Miss Bai Shao's benefits. , that’s why you act like this!”
Everyone was in an uproar. They didn't expect Bai Shao to be such a cruel person.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows high, as if she didn't want to believe it.
But the woman nodded desperately, took out a white jade bracelet from her sleeve, placed it in front of Lin Mengya, and said:
"This is what Bai Shao gave to this slave. Please take a look at it, Master."
Now, Bai Shao really couldn't deny it. This white jade bracelet was always worn by Bai Shao in the past.
"No, I don't want to see this crap. Go and invite the prince and concubine De to come. Today, I want to confront you in court."
As soon as they saw that Lin Mengya was really angry, everyone's hearts immediately felt a chill.
No matter who they were loyal to, Lin Mengya was a legitimate princess and could not afford to offend her easily.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be someone from her yard fighting from the nest.
This really slapped Lin Mengya in the face on the spot. No matter who this matter was brought to, he would be angry.
Jin Su and Jing Yue immediately went to do something, but Bai Su quietly appeared in the crowd without attracting any attention.
"Master, Bai Zhi was beaten very badly by that woman. I wanted to take action several times, but I remembered your instructions and endured it."
There were some slight bite marks on her pale thin lips, but Lin Mengya nodded.
Bai Su is a person with a cold face and a warm heart. She is helpless when she sees her good sisters being beaten. I am afraid that her feelings are much deeper than anyone else's.
"You've tried your best, Bai Zhi won't blame you."
Lin Mengya gritted her teeth, feeling more distressed than anyone else.
Her little girl, she has been with her since childhood. When Bai Zhi was still like the moon, she stood in front of her to protect her weak self.
His fingers were curled up tightly, and his small face already had a bit of coldness and arrogance.
She is really brave to dare to touch the people in her yard!
"The prince has arrived—"
"Empress De Fei has arrived—"
Two different voices sounded one after the other.
Lin Mengya stood there, her aloof back making people feel particularly distressed.
Long Tianyu frowned and looked at Bai Zhi who had been beaten into a pig's head. Lin Mengya must have felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Unconsciously, he stood behind Lin Mengya, looking at her thin back with determination in his eyes.
"What's going on here?"
Concubine De, who knew what she was asking, pretended to be nonchalant at first, and glanced at Bai Shao, with a hint of regret in her eyes.
Lin Mengya bent down to salute. After all, her etiquette was so thorough that Concubine De could not find fault in the slightest.
"Mother Concubine Rongzhen, although Bai Zhi in my yard was accused of embezzling some money, no substantial evidence was found! Now, she has been treated like this. Could it be that someone wanted to I have to silence you!" Lin Mengya spoke seriously, her face looking very ugly.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bai Shao wants to block Bai Zhi's mouth. In other words, the so-called corruption case has a lot of water content.
And, of course, it can be said that when Bai Shao was in Liuxinyuan, she was dissatisfied with Bai Zhi, who was also a sister.
In short, there must be something fishy in this that is not easy to detect.
"Really? This is Bai Shao. It's too outrageous. Jin Su, let that girl Bai Shao come out. I want to question her face to face."
Aunt Jingyue said that she went to her yard on the order of Empress De, Concubine De. Now, Concubine De appears to be uninformed. This scene must be a bit fake, right
Lin Mengya watched them acting with cold eyes, her face gloomy.
After a while, Bai Shao, led by Aunt Jingyue, arrived at the woodshed in the backyard of the palace.
As soon as they saw the cold-faced Lin Mengya and Bai Zhi lying on the ground, their small faces immediately turned pale.
"Slave, I have seen Concubine De, the prince, and the princess."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Shao, as if they wanted to find out from her charming little face the reason why she was so vicious.
"I called you here because I want to ask you, do you know this woman?"
Concubine De spoke calmly, as if she wanted to take charge of the overall situation.
Bai Shao looked at the trembling mother-in-law, then nodded suspiciously, and then said:
"Reporting to Concubine De, this person is from the same hometown as this slave. We work together, so we know each other."
I thought that Bai Shao would deny it, but unexpectedly, she admitted it so simply.
"Girl, girl, I'm sorry for you. This is the bracelet you gave me. I will give it back to you now. Please, girl, just let me go. It's not easy for me to be alone in the Yang family. There are old people in my family." There’s something small down there!”
The woman suddenly grabbed Lin Mengya's clothes and cried bitterly.
"Mother Xu, please don't hurt me! What bracelet, what are you talking about?"
Bai Shao was a little panicked. The jade bracelet on her hand had just been lost a few days ago.
Could it be that it fell into the hands of this mother? But she didn't ask Mother Xu to do anything. Why would she say this
"Girl, now that it's happened, you just accept it. This bracelet was obviously the one that you called my mother-in-law to the house that day, secretly gave it to me, and then asked me to attack Miss Bai Zhi!"
The woman immediately shouted loudly, looking like she was crying, which made people believe her a little bit.
But Lin Mengya frowned, looking thoughtful, as if she understood something.
"Mother Xu, I have no grudges with you in the past and have no grudges in recent times. Why do you want to accuse me wrongly? I, Bai Shao, and Bai Zhi are as close as sisters. This is a fact that everyone knows. If she hadn't made a mistake, we would be nothing more than sisters. Turning against each other. But even so, it is impossible for me to do such a thing. Mother Xu, don’t talk nonsense!"
Now, both sides seem to have different opinions, and no one can say that the other is lying.
The white jade bracelet does indeed belong to Bai Zhi. Now that it is in the hands of Mrs. Xu, no one can tell for sure.
However, Lin Mengya had already made up her mind.
"This is going to be difficult. Yu'er, Mengya, what do you think?"
Deliberately pretending to be embarrassed, Concubine De threw this problem to Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya.
Even though it wasn't made by Bai Shao, Mrs. Xu's empty talk about the bracelet she gave made Bai Shao unable to get rid of it.
"No matter who did this, I will pursue it to the end."
Long Tianyu was really embarrassed to talk about things between women. But Lin Mengya took a deep breath and said quietly.
His eyes passed over De Fei, Bai Shao, Bai Zhi, and Mother Xu kneeling on the ground one by one, with a bit of a sneer on her pretty face.
"Bai Shao, Bai Zhi's mouth is sealed, then you can speak for her."
Lin Mengya changed the topic and landed on Bai Zhi. Her lips were slightly opened, which surprised everyone.
Bai Shao immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Lin Mengya and said:
"Yes, Master. I will definitely tell you the whole story clearly. This bracelet is indeed mine, but it was given to me by the Jinsu from Concubine De's side. It’s said that the empress appreciated me, so she gave it to me. I reported this matter to the master when I got back, and the master knows about it.”
The expression on Lin Mengya's face finally softened.
The so-called drama of betrayal between master and servant is just a way for her to confuse her enemies.
"Go on, the prince is here, and so are all the important parties. We cannot deny this easily."
Lin Mengya helped Bai Zhi up and looked at the girl's red face with distress, with a bit of apology in her eyes.
But Bai Zhi's eyes showed an expression of joy. This silly girl must have not betrayed her master for the sake of her best sister, so she felt sincerely happy.
"Does it hurt?"
She didn't dare to touch it with her hands, but the girl shook her head desperately, frowned again, and nodded pitifully.
Bai Shao, on the other hand, was like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, telling what happened next in a clean and neat manner.
"Later, Jin Su told me that Concubine De admired me very much and wanted me to be the prince's concubine, which was considered a compliment to me. Under her instruction, I was often assigned to the prince's Qinwu Academy. Give me some food, food and clothes. The prince is polite to me considering the princess’s reputation. But I am self-aware and have never had any dirty thoughts towards the prince. The master also knows all these things.”
Bai Shao suddenly took out a pair of scissors from his cuffs, and Lin Mengya looked at the other silly girl worriedly.
"What are you going to do?"
Jin Su panicked and stepped back, but she didn't know when she got up. Behind her, two tall and round guards stood.
"Yes, I escaped from my marriage from my hometown. My father was a bad gambler. He lost everything in the family and sold me and my sisters into a secret door. If it weren't for my mother Awesome, I... I have been unclean for a long time. Later, my father took advantage of my mother's return to her parents' home to trick me out and wanted to sell me to a bad old man as a concubine. I know, you all think I'm ugly With a vixen-like face on his face, he began to think of making me his concubine. But I, Bai Shao, am not a person willing to bow my head easily. My master treats me with kindness and kindness. No matter what, I will not He will betray his master."
After she finished her tearful accusation, Bai Shao severely cut off a large strand of her long hair. Lin Mengya immediately ordered Bai Su to stop this girl's crazy behavior.
"You haven't finished speaking yet, what are you doing?"
Lin Mengya sighed and said, why are all the girls she raises in her yard stupid
