After Xun Lan took a bath, two servant girls came forward with cotton cloth and clothes to help her change.
The pajamas are made of silk, simple and generous, loose and decent, but it is still difficult to conceal a proud figure. No matter how many times the maids serve, they will always be ashamed.
After fastening the last button, the maid stepped aside and lowered her body.
Xun Lan opened the curtain and went back to the bedroom.
The two maids let out a long sigh of relief. Although they are both women, it is not a big deal, but the lady's body is really too beautiful. They are women and they can't bear it. It's a pity that I know how much the master loves it. Madame.
"Have you heard that the master is staying in the wife's room again tonight." The pointed-faced maid named Qiuping said with a smile.
The maid named Chun Zhi with an oval face said enviously: "How can you say that the master is not in the wife's room at night? Our wife has never been lonely in the room since she married the master."
"Hush—" Qiuping gestured and lowered her voice, "Be careful not to let people hear you."
Chun Zhihun said indifferently: "It's nothing to hear, I'm telling the truth, our wife is favored, the master only favors his wife, and no one else looks down on him!"
Qiuping came two years later than Chunzhi, so it was better for Chunzhi to understand the situation in the mansion, and asked curiously: "Did the master and the princess have such a good relationship before?"
"Of course not!" Chunzhi put away the clothes that Xun Lan had changed, "How can the princess be as beautiful as our wife? She just gave birth to an heir for the master because of her noble status and the fact that she was the master's first wife. The master respects each other like a guest. But think about it, who in the world does not prefer beauty? Only a beautiful woman like our wife can hold the master's heart tightly."
Qiuping said in a daze, "Ma'am... she is indeed as beautiful as a fairy."
Chunzhi and Yourong said: "There are so many beautiful women, our wife is not only beautiful on the face, but also beautiful everywhere on her body!"
Especially those proud breasts and slender legs, just thinking about it will make people's blood spurt.
Qiu Ping suddenly smiled and said: "Madam is favored every night, I think you will be able to add a younger brother to Brother Liu soon, right?"
Chun Zhi smiled at Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, "Yes, Madam is still so young, she will definitely have another child."
After finishing speaking, his eyes swept away and he saw a black shadow meandering past. He was so scared that the clothes in his hand fell off!
Qiuping noticed her strangeness, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Chun Zhi was still in shock and said: "I... I seem to have seen... I saw a snake..."
Qiuping was bold, and looked around: "No, did you read it wrong? The Ji Mansion sends people to clean up the mansion every year, so there will be no snakes."
Ji's house has mountains and water, and it is as big as a palace. Snakes, rats, insects, and ants are not surprising. Mrs. Ji is very afraid of such things, so she regularly cleans them up.
Chun Zhi rubbed his eyes: "Maybe I was really wrong."
But Xun Lan went back to the house and saw Ji Shangqing sitting on the head of the bed in thin pajamas, the quilt was covered to the waist, holding a book in his hand, and seemed to be bored to pass the time while waiting for her.
Xun Lan paused, then walked gently to the candlestick and blew out the candle.
Ji Shangqing put the book aside.
Xun Lan walked to his side and sat down quietly.
Ji Shangqing took her hand and gently pressed her under him.
What happened after that was indescribable.
However, just when the two were about to get to the point, a small black figure climbed onto the bed, and then there was an unprecedented scream in the room...
…
In Qinglianju, Qiao Wei fell asleep, and was awakened by a loud noise.
Waking up from a dream and half awake by this sound, Qiao Wei's heart trembled, thinking that something serious had happened, she hurriedly put on her clothes, and when she opened the door, she saw that it was Mama Wu, who was sweeping and sweeping. The shelf fell over.
Seeing that she had awakened her master, Mama Wu quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Young Madam, forgive me!"
Qiao Wei looked at the mess on the ground, knowing that the fall was not light, so she asked, "Are you okay?"
Mother Wu obviously didn't expect that Qiao Wei would be concerned about whether she was okay, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "The servant is fine."
Qiao Wei remembered her sudden paralysis last time, and said again: "Did she fall ill again or what?"
Mother Wu hurriedly said: "No, it's just that I walked too fast and didn't have eyes."
"Oh." Qiao Wei yawned, "Go to bed if you have nothing to do, it's getting late."
"...Yes." Mother Wu responded respectfully.
Qiao Wei turned and entered the room.
Mother Wu opened her mouth, but stopped talking.
Qiao Wei closed the door, and Mother Wu rushed over again, lowering her voice and saying, "Young Madam!"
Qiao Wei was startled, opened the door and looked at her: "What's the matter?"
Mother Wu thought for a while, and decided to tell the young lady: "The slave girl just went to the dining room, and when she came back, she passed by Tongyuan, and heard that something happened in Tongyuan."
Qiao Wei looked at the empty room, Mingxiu wasn't there, they weren't intimate, how could something happen in Tongyuan
Qiao Wei asked, "What happened?"
Mother Wu said: "It seems that Master was bitten by a snake."
Ji Shangqing was bitten by a snake in the middle of the night. The news should have been hidden, but his screams were so terrifying that even the passing maid outside Tongyuan heard it. The maid immediately rushed to Luomeiyuan to tell the news. Madam Ji.
Mrs. Ji quickly got up from the bed, ordered Dongmei to go to Qinglianju to invite Qiao Wei, and asked Mama Rong to wait for her to change clothes, then called a slippery pole, and rushed to Tongyuan.
The old lady was dispatched, and the second and fourth bedrooms were also alarmed. They all got up from the warm blankets and went to Tongyuan to watch the excitement.
Yes, watching the excitement, Ji Shuang and the second brother have been very dissatisfied with this big brother ever since the big brother shut down the tavern and gambling house. When they heard that he was bitten by a snake, the two of them felt happy for a while.
"Hurry up, hurry up, you guys!" Ji Shuang urged while sitting on the sliding pole.
Qin Bingyu had to leave. He asked his wife puzzledly: "Aren't you still angry with your elder brother? Why are you so anxious to see him?"
Ji Shuang said hehe, "I'm afraid I'll be late, the wound has healed, and I can't even watch it."
Several people arrived at Tongyuan almost at the same time. Mrs. Ji took Qiao Wei's hand and walked towards Xun Lan's room: "I woke you up so late again, did it disturb you?"
Qiao Wei smiled: "No, I haven't slept yet."
A group of people walked through the moon gate and walked up the corridor. When they came to the door, Mother Zhou greeted them, first saluted the old lady and Qiao Wei, then pulled Mother Rong aside, and whispered a few words.
Mother Rong's complexion changed drastically after hearing this, and she quickly stopped Mrs. Ji and Qiao Wei, and said, "The eldest lady has already gone to invite the doctor, and he will be there soon. The old lady and the young lady should sit in the Ming Hall for a while. ?”
Mrs. Ji said displeasedly: "What kind of doctor are you looking for? Isn't Xiaowei a doctor?"
"This..." Rong's mother blushed and coughed lightly: "The master is the young lady's father-in-law, how can the young lady see the master's body?"
Mrs. Ji was stunned. She was only worried about her son before, but she forgot about it. Men and women are different. Although doctors are more prepared than ordinary people in terms of defense between men and women, they are male doctors. After all, Xiaowei She's a woman with a thin skin, so I'm afraid it's not good.
"Xiaowei..." Mrs. Ji looked at Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei smiled: "It's nothing, in the doctor's eyes, there are no men and women, only patients."
Last time, she took off Ji Shangqing's shirt and gave him acupuncture.
For a surgeon, this is nothing.
Rong's mother faltered and said: "But...but it's not the place to bite."
Qiao Wei's eyeballs moved: "What, where?"
Mother Rong couldn't help but cover her mouth with a veil, leaned closer to Qiao Wei, and said in a low voice: "At that time, the master was having sex with his wife, and a snake crawled over from behind the master..."
Later, Qiao Wei understands, is this part suitable for both men and women? She only thought that she saw a servant girl: "I see, take me there."
Rong's mother was stunned.
Mrs. Ji anxiously said: "Is the bite serious? If it is serious, take Xiaowei to have a look!"
At this juncture, who cares about those? It is serious to save her son's life quickly!
Mother Rong took Qiao Wei there.
Ji Shangqing was lying on the bed, already unconscious, his complexion was purple, and his face was black, it seemed that he was seriously injured.
Rong's mother retreated from the servants, held back the embarrassment in her heart, walked to the bed, and gently lifted Ji Shangqing's quilt.
Qiao Wei took a hasty glance, thumped, and suddenly covered her eyes: "Why is it here? Cover, cover, cover!"
Rong's mother hurriedly covered the quilt: "It's not you who said... do you know?"
"I thought you were talking about ass!"
What bites from the back, can bite to the front
Rong's mother's face was completely red, and she was also very embarrassed when encountering such a thing, okay, but the master was indeed seriously injured, and his life might be in danger, so she bit the bullet and brought the young lady in.
The young lady's reaction is also reasonable, but the master is so injured, and the young lady can't be cured, so what should I do
"The doctor is here! The doctor is here!" Outside the door, Mother Zhou shouted excitedly.
Mother Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly invited Dr. Lu in. Xun Lan invited him in person, much faster than the maid.
Qiao Wei and Rong's mother backed out.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Lu only went in for a short while, and then came out in shame: "I can't do anything, madam, please ask another master!"
Everyone looked at Qiao Wei in shock.
Qiao Wei said, "Where's Bi'er's father?"
"Here we come! The master is here!" Bi'er led Qiao Zheng into Tongyuan.
Qiao Wei had never treated snakebites in ancient times. To be cautious, when the old lady sent someone to notify her, she sent Bi Er to invite Qiao Zheng. The newly opened Ganoderma Lucidum Hall was nearby, and it would not take long to come here.
Mrs. Ji said excitedly: "My lord, you came just in time, hurry up! Please come inside!"
Qiao Zheng entered the room and heard that the biting was not in the right place, so he stopped asking his daughter to come in to observe and study, closed the door, and sat opposite Ji Shangqing.
He first gave Ji Shangqing a quick-acting detoxification pill to temporarily suppress the toxicity in his body.
Not long after, Ji Shangqing woke up leisurely, and when he saw Qiao Zheng sitting on the stool, his face turned red: "...the in-laws are here."
"En." Qiao Zheng nodded solemnly, and glanced at a certain place on the quilt. He was not embarrassed. As a doctor, he traveled all over the world to treat so many difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and there were many in this part.
He was just a little curious.
Who is bigger...
Ji Shangqing was so embarrassed that she grabbed the quilt and refused to let go.
It would be fine if it was any other doctor, but it happened to be his in-laws, who would not see each other when they looked up and looked down, thinking about it, they wished they could find a hole in the ground.
Qiao Zheng saw his embarrassment, and said generously, "If you're embarrassed, I can show you mine too."
Ji Shangqing blushed: "No need!"
…
On this side, Qiao Zheng treated Ji Shangqing's injuries. On the other side, Mrs. Ji called everyone to the Ming Hall and asked what happened and why there were poisonous snakes in Tongyuan.
Qiao Wei's first reaction was that Xiaobai was going to get poisonous snakes behind her back again! The last time she came back from Zhuangzi, she found that it hid two green bamboo snakes in the small back basket, but she threw them away halfway. Could it be that the little stinky picked up the green bamboo snakes afterwards
Drink tea, drink tea, don't talk!
"Second, don't you entrust the annual damage prevention work to you?" Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Sheng with a hint of reproach.
Ji Sheng stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Mother, my son will send someone to search three times a year, and there will be no mistakes."
"How can there be a snake if you can't go wrong?" It's still a poisonous snake! Is this trying to kill her son? Mrs. Ji frowned deeply.
Ji Shuang sneered and glanced at Xun Lan who was sitting on the seat, and said in a strange way: "Who knows if someone brought the snake in from outside to frame my elder brother on purpose?"
Xun Lan didn't speak.
Mother Zhou was so guilty that she broke out in a cold sweat. Although she didn't know how the snake found its way and ran from Qinglianju to Tongyuan, she felt that it should be the snake she let out.
Strange, every snake of hers was stuffed into Qinglianju through the cracks in the dog hole. Afterwards, she was afraid that they would come out, so she gambled on the cracks. How did that snake jump over the courtyard wall and run into Qinglianju? Woolen cloth
Maybe it wasn't the snake I bought
It must not be, otherwise, even if you run out of Qinglianju, you won't be able to climb into Tongyuan!
In the yard, Xiaobai finally caught the escaped snake baby. The heart of the baby snake was broken. It was a male baby, but it bit such a place. From now on, it will not be able to face the snake well. gave birth!
"Fourth madam, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. The people in Tongyuan are all loyal to the master. How could someone frame the master?" Mother Zhou said with a smile.
Ji Shuang rubbed her chubby belly, and said lazily, "I can't say for sure. If it's not even, who thinks that my elder brother is not pleasing to the eye and wants to get rid of him quickly?"
Zhou's mother twitched her mouth and smiled, "Everyone in our yard is counting on the master to live. Who would dislike the master? Everyone hopes that the master will live a long life."
Ji Shuang said sarcastically: "Speaking is better than singing. If it is true, where did this snake come from? There were two people present at the time, why did it bite my eldest brother?"
That's right, how about the two of them, why was Ji Shangqing the one who was bitten? Is it Xun Lan's good luck, Ji Shangqing's bad luck, or something else
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ji Sheng smoothed things over: "Anyway, let's catch the poisonous snake first, lest it..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Bai grabbed a small poisonous snake and slithered in.
It walked up to Mother Zhou, stood up, and handed the poisonous snake, here it is!
Mother Zhou jumped up and down in fright!
Everyone in the room, except Qiao Wei and Xun Lan, retreated behind their chairs in panic.
Xiaobai chased after Zhou's mother, and wanted to return Zhou's baby snake baby to her.
Mother Zhou's "Hua" face turned pale, and she ran around the house for a while, running from west to east, and from east to west.
"Help—help—get this thing off!"
Xiaobai jumped up and landed on Zhou's mother's shoulder, and Zhou's mother screamed like a pig being killed.
Xiao Bai quickly and gently stuffed the baby snake into her arms.
Zhou's mother was so frightened that her soul would fly away. She tore her clothes desperately, and the baby snake finally fell off.
Xiaobai was startled, and stuffed it into her arms again.
She screamed "Ah", her forehead felt hot, and she took off her shirt!
Everyone covered their eyes in disgust.
"Mother Zhou!" Xun Lan scolded in a low voice.
Ji Sheng hurriedly grabbed the little poisonous snake.
Qiao Wei smiled meaningfully, thinking it was Xiaobai who caught the snake, but it turned out it was not: "Mother Zhou, you caught the poisonous snake?"
Zhou's mother picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on. When she heard Qiao Wei's words, her eyes flashed, and she immediately denied: "That is obviously the mink raised by the young lady! It caught the poisonous snake! It wants to frame me!"
As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, since Xiaobai didn't catch this snake, then there is nothing to worry about, Qiao Wei looked at Zhou's mother frankly, and said in a neutral way: "My family Xiaobai is not ignorant of picking up money, it just wants to return your things to you."
Zhou's mother retorted: "How can this be mine? It's clearly in your mink's hands!"
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "Oh, whoever owns it belongs to him, Second Uncle, you are the murderer."
Ji Sheng, who was catching the poisonous snake, staggered. Could he help catch the snake? How did he become a murderer
Mother Zhou was too angry to speak.
Ji Shuang was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so she smiled and said, "It's pretty much the same thing. Who is the murderer, or are they all murderers? It's really hard to say."
Zhou's mother said: "Everyone saw it. The mink came in with a snake and stuffed it on me without saying a word. It wanted the snake to bite me to death!"
Qiao Wei said sternly, "Xiaobai didn't."
Zhou's mother pointed at her and said, "Yes! Master was also bitten by the snake! You have been to Tongyuan twice today, once early and once late! You even brought a food box in the evening, what did you say to give the master food?" Yes, you actually hid the snake in it! That’s when you hid the snake in Tongyuan!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Qiao Wei.
The guards in Tongyuan are very strict. Even Zhou's mother herself failed to bring a large bag of poisonous snakes into Tongyuan. This is why after buying the poisonous snakes, Zhou's mother put them directly into Qinglianju.
It is unlikely that Zhou's mother brought the snake in.
Could it be really Qiao Wei
But why did Qiao Wei do this
"I have no grievances with my father, why did I do this?" Qiao Wei asked Zhou's mother.
Zhou's mother snorted coldly: "Of course it's not the master you want to frame, it's my wife you want to harm, but you didn't expect that the master will stay in the wife's room tonight, the snake bit me by accident. Hurt the master!"
I have to say that Zhou's mother's fabrication is very reasonable. She really wanted to kill her little stepmother, but unfortunately she is not so stupid. Killing her mother-in-law is a big deal, so she will not ruin her future for a little stepmother up.
Qiao Wei said with a slight smile: "This is really strange. I don't have any grudges with my wife. Why did I let the snake bite her? Everything has to be motivated. I am neither crazy nor stupid. It is for no reason. Isn't it too strange to frame my mother-in-law? Or do you think I know what Madam has done to me, so I want to take revenge on her?"
Zhou's mother was in a mess: "Husband, how could my wife do something wrong to you?! Don't spit blood!"
Qiao Wei said innocently: "She didn't forgive me, why would I let the snake bite her?"
If you have the ability, you can tell about Wu Ri Huan!
Mother Zhou's entire throat was choked.
If it is said that Qiao Wei and Xun Lan did not get along, everyone will believe it. Leaving aside the matter of beef jerky, the relationship between Ji Mingxiu and Tongyuan has always been bad. Embarrassing, because of this, the father and son almost fought. Under such a situation, it is not surprising that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not harmonious enough.
But just for such a trivial matter, Qiao Wei let the snake bite Xun Lan, which seemed unreasonable.
Zhou's mother searched her stomach, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and said: "You...you are jealous that the master loves brother Liu more than the young master. You think it's the wife who ignored the master's ears, so you... you just wait for the opportunity to take revenge on the wife! "
Everyone nodded secretly. Brother Liu and Ji Shangqing's father-son relationship is indeed much closer than that between Mingxiu and Ji Shangqing.
Qiao Wei smiled faintly: "Does the master really love Brother Liu more than he loves Mingxiu? Then why did the master give this to me?"
After that, Qiao Wei took out the golden key with the red string from the skirt of her clothes.
Everyone looked at the golden key, and their eyes widened. Ji Shangqing actually handed over such an important thing to Qiao? You know, this is something that the previous patriarchs entrusted to the heirs before their death. Did Ji Shangqing give it away so early, or did she give it to a daughter-in-law
In the room, it was so quiet that I couldn't even hear my breathing.
Ji Shangqing loves Qiao so much, Qiao really has no reason to be jealous of anyone, be it Xun Lan or Brother Liu, in Ji Shangqing's mind, the couple who are most qualified to inherit the Ji family are the couple of Qinglianju
Qiao Wei looked at everyone's reactions, and wondered what the father-in-law gave her, and how did he scare the whole family like this
Mrs. Ji withdrew her gaze and said to Xun Lan: "I don't believe Qiao Wei did it. You go and call all the people in Tongyuan, and I will interrogate them one by one."
It's about her son's life, the old lady doesn't want to be careless.
Xun Lan bowed her body: "Yes."
Qiao Wei stuffed the golden key back into her skirt, and said to Mrs. Ji, "There is no need to interrogate one by one, the murderer is Mother Zhou."
Zhou's mother turned pale in shock: "It's not me!"
Qiao Wei stepped forward, clasped her wrist, and pulled out a piece of cuff of the jacket from the sleeve, with a sporadic orange on it: "You washed your hands and changed into a cotton jacket, thinking you were clean, but you I probably don't know that you have realgar stains on your sleeves, do you?"
Mother Zhou's pupils shrank!
Qiao Wei said unhurriedly: "The realgar has a certain effect of repelling insects and snakes. Many people will smear a little realgar on their bodies before going to the mountains for fear of being bitten by insects and snakes. Presumably when you go to buy snakes, you will also smear it on your body." Realgar, right?"
Zhou's mother faltered and said: "You... what are you talking about, the servants can't understand!"
Qiao Wei said with a half-smile, "Your sleeves are stained with realgar. If you are afraid that I may make a mistake in the diagnosis, you can call my father out; if you are worried that my father will protect me, you can also invite Dr. Lu here, so that Dr. Lu can take a look at Zhou's mother." Is there realgar on the sleeves?"
Zhou's mother's eyes flickered slightly: "Yes... yes... I just didn't have it! You wiped it on me! You pinched my sleeve, you... you wiped it on!"
Qiao Wei smiled meaningfully: "Ah, I wiped it. When did I wipe it?"
Zhou's mother opened her mouth: "Just... just now! You grabbed my sleeve and when you pulled it out, you took the opportunity to smear realgar powder on it!"
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "Ah, so that's the case. Then, Mother Zhou, did I put realgar powder on the clothes you were wearing before?"
Zhou's mother was startled: "What, what?"
Qiao Wei smiled and said: "It's so late, Mama Zhou probably didn't have time to wash clothes, right? Bi'er, go to Mama Zhou's room... No, forget it, Bi'er is mine, in order to avoid suspicion, I'd better ask Mama Rong for help." Let's go for a run!"
Mrs. Ji nodded, Mama Rong went, and after a while, she brought back a pile of clothes, which were exactly the ones that Mama Zhou had just changed and hadn't had time to clean.
The moment she saw the clothes, Zhou's mother's face changed completely.
Rong's mother opened the cuffs, she didn't know realgar or realgar, but the powder on it was indeed the same as the orange powder on Zhou's mother's coat.
Qiao Wei said amusedly: "I didn't touch your clothes, don't say that I bribed Mama Rong to sprinkle realgar powder on your sleeves."
Mama Rong glared at Mama Zhou: "I don't have realgar powder on me!"
As she spoke, she shook her clothes, and a small sack fell out of it.
Ji Sheng opened the sack and smelled it, his stomach churns: "This is filled with snakes!"
There is also realgar, and there is also a sack for snakes. The evidence is solid, and Zhou's mother can't wash it off even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Mrs. Ji was trembling with anger: "Why did you frame my son? He treats you well!"
Zhou's mother is domineering in the house, and Ji Shangqing always opens and closes her eyes for Xun Lan's sake. Unexpectedly, she is used to a white-eyed wolf!
Zhou's mother plopped down on her knees: "The slave did not harm the master! The slave did not! The slave is wronged! The master treats the slave with such kindness as a mountain, how can the slave frame the master?"
Ji Shuang taunted: "You are angry that my elder brother gave the golden key to Mrs. Qiao instead of your master, so in a fit of rage, you wanted to bite my elder brother to death!"
Zhou's mother cried: "Fourth madam, this servant has been wronged!"
"Are you wronged? Yes, you should be wronged."
After Ji Shuang finished speaking, Zhou's mother was overjoyed, but she heard Ji Shuang sneer: "You are a servant, where do you have the courage to frame my elder brother? Your master must have asked you to do this, right?"
Mother Zhou turned pale with fright and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Madam! The servant bought the snake herself! The servant did it herself! Madam has no idea!"
Xun Lan frowned slightly: "You are confused! Why did you buy this kind of thing?"
Zhou's mother cried and said: "I want to make up for my wife... Madam's body has left the root of the disease, and this servant is distressed. I heard that drinking wine from poisonous snakes can help my wife recover, so I bought it..."
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows, yo, I also know that poisonous snakes soaked in wine can make up for the body.
Mother Zhou was crying, and walked up to the old madam on her knees, and said with snot and tears: "Old madam, what happened to madam back then, it caused a lifetime of illness, and my servant's heart hurts... Although I know there is nothing I can do, but I'd better give it a try... This servant didn't expect this kind of thing to happen... This servant is confused... This servant is too careless... Old madam... If you want to kill or cut, this servant has nothing to say, but please... Don't blame Madam... She is Innocent... how much she has paid for this family... you understand in your heart... "
What happened to the little stepmother? Qiao Wei looked strangely at Xun Lan who looked calm, and then at Mrs. Ji who obviously couldn't bear it, the doubts in her heart became more and more obvious.
Mrs. Ji said angrily: "If you want to make wine, you can make wine. It's the truth. Why bother to frame Young Madam and say that she brought the poisonous snake?"
Lies are not so easy to tell. A perfect lie often needs to fabricate countless more perfect details. Mother Zhou obviously forgot this, and she began to rack her brains again, thinking about how to round out her words: "My servant... because I put the poisonous snake in the bag... the bag was tied tightly, and I didn't expect it to escape, so, so I guess, this is not the one I bought."
"Really?" Qiao Wei rubbed her chin, "Shouldn't most people's first reaction when encountering this kind of thing is to check their snake bag to see if their snake has escaped? If it doesn't, the master's business is natural It has nothing to do with you. Even if you want to clean yourself up, you should check your own snake immediately."
Logical errors are truly fatal.
Zhou's mother was drenched in cold sweat, and the sweat on her forehead slid down like beans: "Servant... I was too worried about the master, for a while... I didn't care about it."
"In a while?" Qiao Wei looked at the hourglass on the wall, "It's been half an hour, Mama Zhou, did you just think that your snake ran away, or did you know it, but insisted on staying there?" On my head?"
The conscience of heaven and earth, Mother Zhou really doesn't know! She put all the snakes into Qinglian House and blocked the cracks. How could she know that the little milk mink would catch the snakes and bring them back to her
Qiao Wei leaned over slightly, looked at her, and said word by word: "You are slandering me!"
Xun Lan stood up from her seat, and slowly knelt down in front of the old lady: "My daughter-in-law is not disciplined enough, and she actually asked her subordinates to do such things. My daughter-in-law is unforgivable, please punish her."
This matter really wasn't Xun Lan's doing. Normally, Madam Ji wouldn't say anything, but this time, first her son was bitten, and then her granddaughter-in-law was falsely accused. What are these things
She was so angry that she wished to beat out all the people involved with a stick, so that she wouldn't anger Xun Lan, she couldn't do it.
But she couldn't bear to ask her to do anything to Xun Lan.
After all, Xun Lan...
Mrs. Ji clenched her fists, turned her face away, and did not look at Xun Lan.
Qiao Wei saw what the old lady was thinking, walked over, supported old lady Ji's arm, and said softly: "Grandmother, I believe that this matter was done by Zhou's mother alone. Madam is innocent, so please forgive her." Bar."
Ji Shuang looked at Qiao Wei coldly: "Oh, she is innocent? My elder brother, your father-in-law, was almost bitten to death by a poisonous snake! Do you have any conscience? You even helped this black-hearted woman speak! In my opinion, when I Eldest brother shouldn’t have married her! But you all don’t listen to me, you have to let this mourner come in, okay now? My elder brother is about to be killed by her!”
Xun Lan lowered her head, silently enduring Ji Shuang's anger.
Zhou's mother didn't have the guts to say that Qiao Wei was the one who hurt her, and it was useless to say that, Ji Shangqing was the one who was injured. No matter what the motive was, the anger of the old lady could not be easily dissipated.
Mrs. Ji pressed her swollen temples: "Drag Mrs. Zhou down, fifty sticks!"
Who can stand fifty boards? You have to die in less than half.
Mother Zhou howled and was dragged down.
Xun Lan knelt on the ground, her thin figure was unbearable to see.
Mrs. Ji didn't wake her up, she just said: "Go outside and kneel."
"yes."
Xun Lan stood up gently, walked to the cold bluestone floor, and knelt down slowly.
Mrs. Ji said to the crowd again: "All of you, step back."
"I still have to wait for elder brother..." Ji Shuang said, seeing Guye Qin winking at herself, she snorted and reluctantly left the Ming hall.
Ji Shuang left, Ji Sheng and his wife also withdrew, and Qiao Wei also withdrew, Mrs. Ji said, "Xiaowei, stay here, I have something to tell you."
