Shi Qingxue was silent for a long time. Almost when Xia Mang thought she acquiesced, she slowly shook her head.
Said: "I don't know, I'm not sure."
"Then..." Xia Mang said eagerly.
Qingxue raised her hand to stop Xia Mang from asking any more questions, and said succinctly: "Dad said, if you have anything to do, we should go to the hall to discuss it. Let's go to the hall first!"
By the time she arrived at the hall, all the ladies of the Shi family had arrived, and it seemed like a trial meeting.
They waited for a while, and Shi Junhe arrived late.
He didn't feel strange to the people in the hall. He just strolled to his seat and said calmly: "Okay, now if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Zhou Ruyu secretly winked at Zhang Qiuyan, who then stepped forward and recounted what he had seen and heard yesterday.
"Brother, everything I said is true. If there is even half a lie, the sky will strike like lightning." At the end, he looked like he was swearing, but he just stretched out three fingers to swear.
Shi Junhe listened from beginning to end without saying a word.
After Zhang Qiuyan finished speaking, she said calmly: "Second brothers and sisters, it is better not to swear casually, what if it accidentally comes true?"
Zhang Qiuyan wanted to emphasize again that she was telling the truth, but when Shi Jun and Liang Liang looked at her, she suddenly felt a chill in her back, and panicked for no reason.
She was really scared and hesitated without feeling confident.
Zhou Ruyu was afraid that she would do something bad, so she quickly stepped forward and spoke in a weird voice: "Brother, look at what you said, we are sisters-in-law and have a harmonious relationship. If it wasn't true, why would we lie to frame my sister-in-law? I I know, brother, that you feel sorry for my sister-in-law’s pregnancy, but you can’t help but distinguish right from wrong, right?”
Shi Junhe was not angry after being squeezed by her. He just looked indifferent and didn't know what he was thinking.
Shi Qingxue was anxious, so she simply stopped waiting and refuted Zhou Ruyu's words in a cold voice, "You keep saying that my mother is having an affair with someone, but you can't even name the person who is having an affair with someone. This is why you are saying that there is indeed something wrong with her." Something
Besides, the second aunt said that she was at the Lover's Pavilion last night, which is understandable. But the third aunt, you have not been to the Lover's Pavilion, and you have not picked up the so-called token. How can you be so sure that my mother is having an affair with someone? Woolen cloth? "
Zhou Ruyu choked, and was about to say that Zhang Qiuyan had already produced conclusive evidence, and she believed that there was nothing wrong with the evidence.
But before she could speak, Shi Qingxue stared at her coldly, giving a silent warning: If you ever want to return my mother again, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Qingxue stretched out her fingers and gave Zhou Ruyu four fingers.
Zhou Ruyu suddenly turned pale. Others may not know what Shi Qingxue meant, but she understood it very well.
Shi Zhi is the fourth eldest child in the Shi family.
Zhou Ruyu was a little scared, but then she thought about it, there was only one chance to overthrow Dong Hui, if you let it go, it would be hard to find again.
Besides, what if Shi Qingxue knew her secret
Without evidence, who would believe it
"Second sister-in-law took out all the handkerchiefs embroidered with your mother-in-law's name. How can it be fake?" Zhou Ruyu straightened her chest and tried hard to look tough.
But after she finished speaking, her momentum was still a little weak, so she had to turn her head to look at Mo Shujun, looking for reinforcements, "Besides, when the second sister-in-law took out the handkerchief, your mother's reaction showed that there was something wrong in her heart. It's not like everyone else Blind man, do you still want to fool your mother?"
Shi Qingxue bit her lip, knowing that Dong Hui's excited reaction just now was indeed difficult to explain.
Even if she has a lotus tongue, she can't easily exonerate Dong Hui.
Shi Junhe looked at Zhang Qiuyan at this time and asked coldly: "Who did you see Hui Niang seeing last night?"
"Ah?" Zhang Qiuyan didn't expect Shi Junhe to ask so directly, without any tact.
His honest and dull face showed embarrassment again. He didn't know whether he should say anything, and secretly turned his eyes to Zhou Ruyu for help.
Zhou Ruyu secretly gave her a stern look, which made her shrink her neck in fright, but she didn't understand what Zhou Ruyu meant
Do you want her to say it or not
Shi Qingxue realized that there was something fishy about it, and took a big step forward to block the sight exchange between the two.
He asked Zhang Qiuyan in a cold voice, "When I asked you in Dongyuan just now, you were clearly going to say that man's name, but now you don't say it. Is there something fishy about it? Otherwise, how could you watch it alone? I found out about my mother, but I didn’t even see the man’s face?”
Shi Qingxue was secretly changing the concept - after all, seeing the other person's appearance does not necessarily mean that he knows that person.
But Zhang Qiuyan was in a panic, her mind couldn't turn around, and she really thought she had spilled the beans.
He gritted his teeth and said it in one breath. "That person is the Confucian scholar Yan Lu, a student of the great Confucian Dong Biren, and the elder sister-in-law's childhood sweetheart. This person should be familiar to the elder brother, right?"
When Shi Junhe heard Yan Lu's name, his eyelids twitched and he said nothing.
Shi Qingxue was stunned by his abnormal attitude.
Yan Lu was a name she had heard since childhood.
This man is the most proud disciple of Dong Hui's father, Dong Biren. He also hates officialdom, so he has been studying with Dong Biren. His temperament is very similar to Dong Biren, a bit old-fashioned and stubborn, but he has a good heart.
When Shi Qingxue was young, she would see Yan Lu every time she went back to her maternal grandfather's house, and would call him uncle. Yan Lu also doted on her, but Shi Junhe didn't seem to like Yan Lu very much and defended his father. Although Xiao Qingxue did not know the situation, she consciously started to interact with Yan Lu.
But now, the words 'childhood sweetheart' made her frown.
She couldn't help but complain: Mother is too careless! No matter how open the country's culture is, it's easy for people to talk about childhood sweethearts!
But now, Dong Hui's words have been firmly grasped by the enemy, and they are ready to pull them down at any time.
Qingxue raised her head to look at Shi Junhe, only to see that Shi Junhe had a livid face for a long time.
He must be angry!
She secretly thought it was bad, knowing that she could no longer deny this matter.
At this moment, an inspiration flashed through her mind, and she suddenly thought of a way.
Although it may not be the best, at least these people cannot be allowed to convict Dong Hui face to face.
"Second aunt will also say that Uncle Yan is my mother's senior brother, so he can't be considered an outsider."
Shi Qingxue's words were shocking. She simply used the relationship between Dong Hui and Yan Lu to clear up the matter. Even though it sounded false, Zhang Qiuyan and others were left speechless in front of them.
after all…
Meeting fellow seniors and keeping in touch are really common things.
If it hadn't been for running to the Lover's Pavilion in the middle of the night to meet her.
Zhang Qiuyan stared and wanted to refute, but Shi Qingxue took the lead and continued to drive the rhythm, saying eloquently, "Since we are not considered outsiders, how can we say that we have a private meeting with an outsider
Besides, Uncle Yan now lives in the Dong family and has been following my grandfather. Since he came to see his mother, it must be that his grandfather missed his mother, but his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he asked him to bring a message to her. "
Not to mention that Zhang Qiuyan's eyes widened and she had nothing to say.
Everyone else was also stunned, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
They had seen people who were eloquent, but this was the first time they had seen someone who was so good at breaking up.
I'm afraid there is no one better than Shi Qingxue in confusing right and wrong.
Even if everyone knows that this is not the case, there is no room for error or refutation.
Seeing that Zhang Qiuyan was mute again, Zhou Ruyu glared at her angrily and asked coldly: "What's the explanation for the handkerchief embroidered with the word 'Hui'?"
Shi Qingxue shrugged and said with an indifferent expression: "Did you accidentally drop it? No one has accidentally dropped it these days, right? Third Aunt."
Zhou Ruyu: "...This is your mother's thing, how can you just throw it away? Why don't you make up a decent excuse?"
I just don’t believe it!
Qingxue didn't expect her to believe it, so she responded calmly: "How is this impossible? Last night there was heavy frost and dew, and I could barely see the outline of a person. My mother didn't put it away properly, and accidentally dropped it in the lover's pavilion. Later, it fell into the lover's pavilion. It was picked up by the second aunt.
This also proves that the second aunt is destined to my mother. It does not mean that the mother is going to give the handkerchief to Master Yan, or is the second aunt planning to go back on her word and say that she saw this scene? "
"Of course not." Zhang Qiuyan was forced to do this and could only answer bravely.
"But… "
Shi Qingxue secretly glanced at Shi Junhe, who immediately put up a majestic face, waved his hand to interrupt what Zhang Qiuyan wanted to say, and said coldly: "Yan Lu is Huiniang's senior brother. We will meet each other late at night. I'm sure There was an emergency at my father-in-law's house, so I sent someone to see him."
"Brother, even if you want to excuse your sister-in-law, please find a decent reason!" Zhou Ruyu sneered and sneered at Shi Junhe's explanation.
After all, even if there was an emergency, someone would still be sent to deliver a message to Duke Shi's mansion. Who would make an appointment to meet at a remote lover's pavilion in the middle of the night
When Shi Junhe was exposed, he didn't change his expression. He didn't even look at Zhou Ruyu. He just said coldly to Mo Shujun: "My child feels that the matter has been investigated clearly. If the mother still has any questions about this, no matter how strict Neither Lu nor the Dong family are outsiders, you can send someone to the Dong family and find out."
Zhou Ruyu & Zhang Qiuyan: "..."
Even Mo Shujun stared and said nothing for a long time.
Shi Qingxue listened on the sidelines and couldn't help secretly giving Shi Junhe a thumbs up, praising: High, it's really high!
At this time, if you send someone to the Dong family to ask, even a fool knows what kind of explanation to give.
Dong Hui never admitted it. As long as the Dong family said that they asked Yan Lu to deliver the message, no matter how flawed the matter seemed, Zhou Ruyu and the others had nothing to say.
A storm was calmed down by Shi Junhe.
By chance, Xia Mang hurried in at this time, whispered a few words in Shi Qingxue's ear, and then secretly gave her something.
Shi Junhe noticed their little moves, but the distance was a bit far away. He didn't see clearly what Xia Mang gave Qingxue, but it looked like a letter from a distance.
"Ahem... Qingxue!" Shi Junhe shouted and winked at her.
Silently asked: What's going on
Shi Qingxue opened the letter, scanned it at a glance, and quickly read the contents written inside.
Then he raised his head again and gave Shi Junhe a reassuring but sly smile: Don't worry, I'm sensible.
Shi Junhe frowned in confusion and stared at Qingxue, wondering: What bad trick is this girl planning to do again
Shi Qingxue turned her gaze to Zhou Ruyu, who was still staring at them unwillingly, and a sweet smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face, which was very charming.
Shi Junhe's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and then he looked at Zhou Ruyu with sympathy in his eyes.
Tsk, Zhou Ruyu must be in bad luck this time!
