"Bold slave, you still dare to call for injustice. Didn't you scare Brother Xin last night by pretending to be a ghost?" Zhao gnashed her teeth angrily. If she didn't care about her image, she would have rushed up and kicked this evil slave hard.
"Yes, yes, it was the servant who frightened the second young master last night, and the servant is guilty. But the servant did not do it on purpose." Although Hua Pozi confessed, she was still struggling to die, and quibbled, "The servant did not even think of setting the blame For the eldest girl, I didn’t expect that the slave would steal such a precious item.” Then, she began to kowtow again and again, “I didn’t do it on purpose, I really didn’t do it on purpose.” After talking about it, she almost howled He raised his voice, as if singing a big drama.
Mrs. Zhao almost laughed angrily: "You slave stole something, yet you still dare to blame it for being too precious? How dare you say it wasn't intentional?!"
Nangong Yue was thoughtful, and said: "In this way, Mrs. Hua, what you originally wanted to steal was the usual fabrics that are commonly used in the house, but because you didn't know the goods, you stole the wrong thing, and instead gave yourself to me. It's been exposed." As she spoke, she glanced at the rags, "Otherwise, such a piece of evidence would not have been left behind."
Granny Hua prostrated herself on the ground in fear, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this servant is guilty, but this servant really didn't intend to scare the second young master."
Nangong Yue Yingying stepped forward and said to Su Shi: "Grandmother, since she has pleaded guilty, then follow the rules of the house!"
Hua Pozi's face turned pale when she heard the words, and she collapsed to the ground as if all her strength had been drained. She never thought that the third girl would react in such a way that she didn't ask her why she wore a ghost mask and white clothes, but directly asked Su to punish her, and didn't even ask if there was anyone instigating behind her!
Su Shi was also a little surprised: "Sister Yue, don't you want to ask any more questions?"
"That's right." Zhao said bitterly, "Why do you have to ask who ordered it?"
"No, no one instructed you." Hua Pozi shook her head repeatedly.
"Auntie, Hua Pozi was originally my grandmother's dowry, and was later assigned by my grandmother to work in the elder sister's yard. It can be said that she has a lot of face in the mansion. If there is a master messenger, he can instruct her to do such a thing. Stealing, or even murdering her elder brother, there must be some reason in the hands of the main emissary. It may not be easy to let her go." Nangong Yue analyzed methodically. As for Hua Pozi yelling that she didn't do it on purpose, Nangong Yue scoffed at it, and didn't bother arguing with Dui Luan at all.
Su's complexion was as dark as a disaster, and what Pozi Hua did made her lose face.
Hua Pozi lowered her head, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, she thought to herself: How did the third girl know? Is it just a guess
The anger in Zhao's heart was hard to calm down, and he said bitterly: "Then beat me to death, I don't believe her if she doesn't confess." Although Mrs. Hua denied being instigated by others, Zhao did not believe her words. I want to ask for a result.
Hua Pozi's face was ashen, and fear entangled her limbs like vines, making her unable to move. In fact, as early as the moment I was pulled out, I knew in my heart that even if I didn't die, a layer of skin would be peeled off, but from the current situation, I couldn't survive.
But at the thought of death, Hua Pozi felt unwilling, really unwilling. She didn't want to die, she really didn't want to die. She looked at Su Qingping for help, her lips moved twice.
Su Qingping was twisting the veil in her hand, she hated Granny Hua very much. This old woman is really not good at handling things, and she has made such a big mistake. She is looking for death if she keeps the ready-made evidence until now! It turned out that the unlucky one was still himself.
"Auntie, this Hua Pozi keeps saying that no one ordered her, so why did she do it for no reason?" Su Qingping showed confusion, and then persuaded Hua Pozi, "Hua Po, you It’s true! If you tell the truth, maybe my aunt will be punished lightly, or she might save her life.”
A gleam of hope flashed in Hua Pozi's eyes. "Slave is recruiting, slave is recruiting." I heard her crying and said, "I think of my grandson Changming, and I was not reconciled for a while, so I got a bad idea and wanted to scare the second young master to relieve my anger. But slave I really didn't expect to scare the second young master into illness!"
Su Qingping asked in surprise: "You still have a grandson, but what does that have to do with Brother Xin?"
"Back then, the second young master fell from the rockery... My Changming also fell to his death." Granny Hua's heartbroken face burst into tears.
"So that's how it is." Su Qingping showed sympathy on her face, and said decently to Su Shi, "Auntie, although the actions of Mrs. Hua are indeed disgusting, it's pitiful when you look at it carefully. Why don't you Spare her life."
"How can this be possible." Zhao was the first to jump out to object, her usual dignity could no longer be maintained, "This lowly servant girl stole something from Sister Cheng, and then tried to put the blame on Sister Cheng. Not too much!"
"Big Cousin, I don't think this woman has any intention of blaming Sister Cheng." Su Qingping said softly, "Otherwise, she wouldn't have left the rags behind, and it would have become evidence for nothing."
"What Aunt Ping said seems to be very reasonable." Nangong Yue deliberately suppressed first and then raised, "But can Aunt Ping guarantee that when we find out that the Songjiang fine cloth that is the eldest sister is missing, when everyone puts it When suspicious eyes are placed on the eldest sister, will this woman immediately stand up and clarify for the eldest sister?" She asked coldly, and those dark eyes stared at Su Su. Qingping looked at it. "What's more, after so many years, Mrs. Hua didn't do anything out of resignation, so why can't she hold her breath now? Could it be that she was instigated by someone?"
"I..." Su Qingping's heart trembled, and she felt an invisible pressure covering her head. Of course she couldn't guarantee it, so why should she guarantee it? She didn't have to really involve herself.
"Hua Pozi, why are you so unwilling!" Nangong Yue said quietly, "Didn't the reason why my brother went to the rockery back then was because of your long cry?"
Hua Pozi's body trembled, her lips trembled twice, she could no longer speak, and could only look at Su Qingping again expectantly.
Su Qingping gritted her teeth, and said in shame: "It turned out that something like this happened back then. I didn't know the reason and asked for the wrong favor." Then she said with a sigh, "The reason for Hua Pozi's grandson's long cry After doing this series of wrong things, it is really hateful and pathetic..." After speaking, there was a bit of sympathy in her tone, "Speaking of it, she is actually a poor person."
