The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 368
The smile on Cui Baniang's face froze instantly.

How did the eldest sister see it?

Seeing her daughter's ugly face, Mrs. Xiao thought her daughter was wronged and felt aggrieved, so she spoke up for her: "Why did Niang Yuan say such a thing?

"Si Niang sent someone to hurt Ba Niang, and made Ba Niang almost unable to walk. There are all witnesses and evidences in this matter. It is clear that Si Niang is wrong. How can Ba ​​Niang have bad intentions?"

The left corner of Cui Hengyue's mouth was slightly hooked, and he said calmly: "The witness testimony is true, but this physical evidence, if it is really pursued, I am afraid that Ba Niang will not be able to do anything good."

Seeing Cui Hengyue's words were convincing, Mrs. Xiao looked at her daughter uneasily, and asked her for proof: "Ba Niang, tell me honestly, what's going on with that physical evidence?"

"I don't know what's going on? All I know is that Hong Rui hurt me." Cui Ba Niang said with her neck stuck.

When she said this, Cui Ba Niang looked confident on the surface, but her eyes flickered, and Xiao naturally didn't miss her expression.

Xiao's heart sank, and she began to worry about her daughter, lest she would not realize the seriousness of the matter, she sternly said:

"The eldest lady went to the Fuhai Courtyard with personal and material evidence, and when this matter was brought up in front of the old lady, there was no room for change.

"If the old lady finds out, not only you and I will not be able to escape the guilt, but Jiulang will also be implicated.

"Ba Niang, tell me honestly, do you really not know why that gem is there?"

Cui Ba Niang: "."

She gritted her teeth, struggled for a while, and finally spit out the truth: "That's right, I put that gem there.

"The day Si Niang lost the gem, I happened to see it, but I didn't tell her, and then I went back secretly to pick up the gem.

"I admit that I did this wrong, but that gem is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful gem, and that gem was given to Si Niang by my father, I was jealous of her, so I hid the gem up.

"However, Si Niang sent someone to hurt my leg because she was jealous that I was able to go to the banquet with my eldest sister. It was her fault.

"Even if I was jealous of her, I just hid the gems she lost and never thought of hurting her, but what about her?
"At that time there were only four of us in the rockery, even if I told everyone that Hongrui had injured me, they wouldn't believe me, so I threw the gem on the rockery in a hurry.

"I thought it belonged to Si Niang. Once someone finds out, she will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility."

Seeing Xiao Shi looking at her, Cui Baniang's eyes turned red, and her tone was stubborn: "She nearly broke my leg, so can't I fight back?
"I'm not wrong about this!"

Xiao's heart ached, she stepped forward and hugged Cui Baniang gently, and said softly: "Yes, you did nothing wrong, you were bullied, of course you have to fight back if you have the chance."

Cui Ba Niang was very moved to get the understanding of her relatives, and hugged Xiao Shi back forcefully.

Seeing Cui Hengyue, Cui Baniang's face changed, she pushed Xiao Shi away, looked at Cui Hengyue and said: "If elder sister wants to tell the old lady about this, then go ahead."

No matter what kind of punishment, she just accepts it.

Cui Hengyue looked at Cui Baniang leisurely, and said slowly: "Blindly being kind will not end well, you know how to adapt to the situation, which is very good.

"It's not wrong for you to fight back, why should I inform you?"

Cui Baniang was stunned.

She didn't expect Cui Hengyue to be on her side, she thought Cui Hengyue didn't like the children of Sanfang and would not help any of them.

However, Cui Hengyue did not report on her.

That's right, if Cui Hengyue wanted to report her, Cui Hengyue would have told the truth long ago when the eldest lady was here, and she wouldn't wait until now.

Could it be that Cui Hengyue hated only Liu Shi and Liu Shi's children?
Xiao didn't think too much about it, and hurriedly thanked Cui Hengyue: "I can't thank Yuan Niang for helping Ba Niang in this way, thank you very much."

With that said, Mrs. Xiao solemnly saluted Cui Hengyue to express her gratitude.

Cui Hengyue quickly helped Xiao Shi up: "I have helped Ba Niang deal with the aftermath of the gemstone, and the old lady will not suspect Ba Niang.

"Speaking of which, I am also responsible for Ba Niang's injury, so let me do my best for Ba Niang."

Hearing this, Cui Ba Niang lowered her head in shame.

Xiao was grateful and said: "Yuan Niang is serious, this is our fate, you can agree to take Ba Niang to the banquet, this is a kindness to us.

"As for what happened later, it has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to take it to heart."

The two were polite, and the matter was not mentioned.

"Now that Ba Niang is injured, the Princess Regent's birthday party will definitely not be able to go. I wonder who will accompany Yuan Niang next?" Xiao cautiously probed.

It would be great if she could let her Kuro go with her.

Cui Hengyue was very clear about Xiao Shi's intentions, but she had other plans: "I haven't made up my mind yet.

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."

Xiao quickly said, "I'll see you off."

After personally sending Cui Hengyue out of the west courtyard, Mrs. Xiao returned to Cui Baniang's room.

When Cui Baniang saw her, she felt uneasy: "Aniang, elder sister will help me deal with the aftermath. Will the old lady really not find out?"

Xiao Shi was also very disturbed, she shook her head slightly: "I don't know either, let's have a look first and then talk about it."

With Da Furen's temperament, she would definitely send someone to inform them after the matter came to fruition.

Fuhai Courtyard.

Mrs. Cui glared at Mrs. Liu after listening to Mrs. Cui's statement.

Useless things, even my daughter can't protect well.

Feeling Mrs. Cui's sharp gaze, Liu's head lowered even lower, and her hands twisted the handkerchief uneasily.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Cui cursed in her heart, "I can't get on the stage", and looked away.

Mrs. Cui looked at Mrs. Cui blankly, and said slowly: "Si Niang said that she lost this gem a few days ago, so this gem cannot be used as evidence."

Hearing this, Cui Siniang was overjoyed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Mrs. Cui didn't answer Mrs. Cui's words, but told Wutong: "Bring people in."

Cui Siniang glanced at the ground, Hongrui and the two women were already kneeling here, why are there witnesses?

Just thinking about it, Wutong came in with a little maid, and that little maid was the third-class maid of Haitang Garden——Jing Lan.

Hongrui had reported to her before, only Hongrui and the two women were involved in this matter, why did another person appear?

Cui Siniang was very puzzled.

At this time, Mrs. Cui had already ordered Jinglan: "Tell the old lady what you know."

"Yes." Jinglan knelt on the ground, and saluted Mrs. Cui in a polite manner: "I have seen the old lady, and the old lady is safe."

Then, Jing Lan told Mrs. Cui everything she knew: "This gem was given to Si Niang by the third master, and Si Niang liked it very much.

"I once heard Si Niang tell Sister Hongrui that she wanted to find a good craftsman to set this gem on a gold bracelet, but she couldn't find a suitable craftsman, so Si Niang always carried this gem with her.

"A few days ago, Si Niang lost this gem, and asked all the servants of Haitang Garden to look for it, but they couldn't find it.

"But yesterday, when I was cleaning the yard, I saw Siniang coming back from the outside with this gem."
