Hearing this, Qiao Jinghong immediately changed the gloominess in his eyes to tenderness and said, "Cousin, I will be good to you."
good? All she saw was how shameless he was!
Seeing that the Qiao brothers and sisters were equally shameless, Xie Ruzhuo sneered, took the handkerchief in Dongmei's hand, examined it in detail, and then said, "This handkerchief is indeed mine, I admit it."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present was in an uproar.
Xie Ruzhuo ignored the rumors and continued, "Dongmei, you do have some tricks. I gave Qingtao this veil last year. You can actually get it. You are considered awesome. However, I would like to ask. You, you have been by my side for so long, don’t you know that the veil I give to the maid is different from the one I use personally? Besides—"
At this point, she turned to look at Qiao Jinghong and said, "Since I want to send a message to my lover, I leave the three maids around me, but I want to find a maid who has been kicked out of the house? Do you think that this maid beside me Can the loyalty of the three maids be no better than that of a slave who is resentful because her mistress has done something to her?"
Dongmei hesitated, but before she could say anything, she heard Hongrui say first, "Dongmei, do you really think that after Madam kicked you out, she didn't know what you were doing? You insulted Miss and you were kicked out that day. , and went directly to the Fu family to ask for shelter. Who are the Fu family? They are the concubine’s natal family who murdered the young lady’s biological mother! You behaved like this, and your intentions are evident! Do you need me to say more about what happened next? "
Hearing this, Dongmei immediately turned pale and said sternly, "It's all you who hurt me!"
Seeing her look like this, Qian Bi sighed and said, "Harm you? If you didn't have the intention to harm others, how could you end up like that?"
Seeing the entanglement between several people, Xiao Xinning couldn't help but said, "If this kind of maid was in the palace, she would have been killed with a stick long ago. Why are she still here today? Xie Ruzhuo, you are too kind-hearted."
Hearing this, Qianbi immediately said angrily, "Princess, you don't know something. My young lady is too kind-hearted, so she is harmed by these traitors again and again!"
Seeing that Dongmei's emotions were already cracking, Xie Ruzhuo asked, "Dongmei, if it's too late for you to tell the truth now! Tell me who instigated you to slander my reputation!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Ziyun's expression suddenly changed, but Qiao Jinghong was extremely calm and secretly pinched Qiao Ziyun. Qiao Ziyun recovered from the pain and silently stepped back behind Qiao Jinghong without saying a word.
Dongmei smiled sadly and said, "No one forced me, I did it all by myself. Indeed, as the lady said, I wanted to ruin your reputation, so I took this step!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Shen Jingci narrowed her eyes, then covered up the cold light in her eyes, and sighed, "Hey, sister Xie, it turns out that we all wronged you. But you have been wronged by me. I really feel sorry for you."
Xie Ruzhuo didn't look at her, he just walked to Qiao Jinghong and said with a faint smile, "Cousin, oh, no, Qiao Jinghong, what else do you have to say? Now that things have come to this, do you still want to say that you and I are in love? , is it really sincere?"
"No, no, no, cousin, you misunderstood." Qiao Jinghong quickly put on a smile and said, "What happened today was all a misunderstanding. I misunderstood what this maid said, so I misunderstood what you meant. sorry."
He has always known that those who understand current affairs are heroes. If he continues to insist on Xie Ruzhuo having an affair with him, then his reputation will be in jeopardy!
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo did not comment, but when he was close to him, he said something in a voice that could only be heard by two people.
After Qiao Jinghong heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
Xie Ruzhuo turned around and looked at Shen Jingci and said, "Miss Shen, since this maid is a slave kicked out by my Xie family, and now she is framed by me, you should have no problem with me taking her away, right?"
Seeing her like this, Shen Jingci was filled with hatred, but she couldn't say "no", so she smiled and said, "What you said is that you should take this girl away."
"That's good. I feel unwell today, so I'll say goodbye to my sister first." Xie Ruzhuo saluted Xiao Junxi, then ordered the maid to control Dongmei and drag her away, and then left the Furong Pond with Xie Ruyue.
Xiao Junxi secretly made a gesture behind her back, and the guard who was hiding in the dark followed immediately.
Seeing that the play had reached this point and there was no need to continue singing, Shen Jingci turned around and greeted all the young masters, "Since everyone has finished bathing in the hot springs, let's go to Yancui Mountain to play."
Although Xie Ruzhuo said he wanted to leave at that time, in the end only sisters Xie Ruzhuo and Xie Huaiqi followed.
Xie Rufei was young and at the age of playfulness, so she did not turn around at the same time. As for Xie Rulan and Xie Ruyin, they will not give up this rare opportunity.
On the carriage ride back, Xie Huaiqi had a worried look on his face, while Xie Ruyue couldn't hide her anger and said, "Zhuo'er, let's just forget about this?" When she thought of the good things done by the Qiao family brothers and sisters, she I hate it so much that it hurts. If this revenge is not avenged, her gratitude to her family will be in vain!
"Don't worry, sister, you are not the only one who wants to take revenge, and I will not let them off easily. But the Qiao family is my mother's natal family after all. If we don't explain it to her first, I'm afraid the three of us, mother and daughter, will have a hard time. "
After listening to Xie Ruzhuo's words, Xie Ruyue remembered the reason and couldn't help but said bitterly, "My mother has such a good temper, how could she have such a natal family? It's really disgusting!"
Xie Ruzhuo didn't say much. She had been drugged just now. She had been struggling just now, but now the drug was a little stronger and she was feeling groggy.
Qiao Ziyun watched Xie Ruzhuo and others leave, and immediately stamped her feet angrily, "Brother, is it possible that we just watched them leave?"
Seeing that things were about to happen, why did it suddenly reverse? She was really unwilling to do so! But what frightened her the most was another thing, "No, isn't the second brother looking for Xie Ruyue? Since Xie Ruyue is here, what about the second brother!"
When Qiao Jinghong heard this, he remembered what Xie Ruzhuo said again, "Qiao Jinghong, you'd better care about Qiao Jingyang's fate first." He immediately ran towards the previously agreed upon location.
Although there was some heat in the afternoon sun, after being soaked in cold water for a long time, the heat turned into a chill that could freeze people to death.
When Qiao Jinghong arrived, he saw Qiao Jingyang fell motionless into the water, and the blood on his face was even more oozing.
He hurriedly ordered people to fish Qiao Jingyang out, and when he was still breathing, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, no matter what, the person did not die. It's just that if he doesn't avenge today's revenge, then his surname will not be Qiao!
After returning home, sisters Xie Ruzhuo went directly to Qiao's courtyard.
Mrs. Qiao was teasing Xie Huailin, and when she saw that the sisters didn't look well, her heart skipped a beat. After hearing the two sisters' narration, she became furious and said, "Bring me Qing Tao!"
Not long after, Bizhi and others brought in Qingtao who looked confused. Seeing Mrs. Qiao, mother and daughter, Qingtao kowtowed first, and then wondered, "I wonder what the purpose of calling the slaves is?" When she saw Xie Ruzhuo, she felt a little nervous.
"What's the matter? Come and see, do you recognize this person?"
Ms. Qiao snorted coldly and said, "Bring them in!" Then she saw Hongrui pushing Dongmei in.
As soon as he saw Dongmei, Qingtao knew that the matter was exposed. But she still had some hope in her heart, so she immediately said, "Madam, I know this person. Isn't she Dongmei who was kicked out? But I really don't know what you asked me to do. Did I do something wrong?" What's going on?"
Hearing this, Xie Ruyue sneered and said, "You have to ask yourself if you did something wrong, right? Let me ask you, how come the handkerchief Zhuo'er gave you last year is in Dongmei's hand?"
"Handkerchief, what kind of handkerchief?" Qingtao felt as if she had hit rock bottom, but she forced herself to calm down and said, "I don't know what the second lady is talking about."
"Don't know? Then I'll tell you!" After saying that, Xie Ruzhuo threw the veil directly in front of Qingtao and said, "I gave this veil to you last year, but you gave it to Dongmei, okay? Let her use it as evidence to slander me, right?"
"Miss, this slave is unjustly accused!" After hearing Xie Ruzhuo almost tell most of the truth, Qingtao immediately shouted that he was wronged and said, "Although I don't know who did this deliberately to alienate the relationship between our master and servant. But miss, my loyalty to you has never changed. For the past six months, I have been thinking about returning to your side, why would I do such a dirty thing?"
As she said that, she suddenly turned around, looked at Dongmei and said, "Dongmei, my handkerchief was lost before you left the house. Tell me, did you steal it? Really!"
Dongmei already had a dead expression on her face, but when Qingtao was about to push her, she subconsciously protected her belly.
Xie Ruzhuo noticed her action keenly, and a bold idea flashed through his mind. She was so busy that she winked and asked Qianbi to stop Qingtao's movement.
Then, she walked to Dongmei and said, "Dongmei, if you tell the truth, maybe the person you want to protect can still survive. But, if you don't tell-" As she said that, she With a sharp look on his face, he said, "Then I will order you to be beaten to death with a stick now! Then, you will carry this scapegoat and go to hell!"
Hearing this, Dongmei immediately followed her gaze and knew that Xie Ruzhuo had discovered her secret. Her body softened, and she knelt on the ground and cried, "Miss, the slave said! It was Qingtao who said, give the slave a sum of money and let the slave slander the innocence of the miss!"
"You're talking nonsense! Dongmei, how dare you ruin my reputation, let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"
When Qingtao heard that Dongmei had done this, she immediately became jealous and scratched Dongmei's face.
Fortunately, the maids and women reacted quickly and pinned her to the ground almost at the same time, unable to move.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao already understood most of it, pointed at Qing Tao and said bitterly, "Okay, the Xie family treats you so generously, but they have raised such a bunch of ungrateful things! Someone, drag me down and punish you heavily." Hit, hit until she takes it!"
Suddenly, Qingtao's shouting voice was heard outside the door, heartbreaking.
Xie Ruzhuo walked to Dongmei's side and said slowly, "Tell me, besides Qingtao, who else is instructing you this time?"
Hearing this, Dongmei immediately lowered her head and said with a wry smile, "Miss, I have already confessed. The one who instigated me was Qingtao. She gave me money, and I need money most at this point."
"Really? Then let me ask you, the pool where the second sister's accident happened should have been the place with the most pedestrians. How come there was no one there by chance? Also, if no one takes the medicine in my teacup, what will happen? How did it get put in?"
