The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 369
Before Jinglan finished speaking, Cui Siniang interrupted her angrily.

"Nonsense, after that gem was dropped, I haven't found it until now."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui immediately sternly slammed her face, and slapped the table vigorously: "Bold, you dare to make a false confession to frame the master, it is really unreasonable."

Old Mrs. Cui was furious, and she shouted outside: "Come on, pull this lowly servant girl down and give her a hard blow."

Lady Du rushed in with her immediately.

Seeing this battle, Jing Lan turned pale with fright, and quickly kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Madam, please forgive me, I'm telling the truth, I didn't lie, and I didn't make a false confession."

Seeing that Jinglan was about to be taken away, Mrs. Cui hurriedly stopped her:

"Wait!"

After Mrs. Cui raised her voice to stop Mrs. Du and the others, she turned to Mrs. Cui and said, "Mother, Jinglan is only telling the facts she has seen. If she tells the truth, she will be punished. Who else in the mansion will be punished?" Tell the truth?"

However, Mrs. Cui was not persuaded by Mrs. Cui, but became even more angry. She asked Mrs. Cui angrily: "You don't trust your niece, but you believe in a lowly maid. You are trying to put your niece at your mercy." dead?"

After being charged with such a big crime, Mrs. Cui was terrified: "Mother misunderstood, I didn't mean that.

"I've already sent people to investigate, Jinglan didn't lie, and when Ba Niang's accident happened, Hongrui from Haitang Garden and these two women were indeed not in the yard.

"Someone saw the three of them go to the rockery."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Cui ordered Wutong to bring in the witness.

This time, three maids came in, all from the third room, responsible for cleaning the rockery.

"Don't be afraid, tell what you see." Mrs. Cui gently encouraged them.

The three servant girls looked at each other, and said from left to right: "At the end of today, when I was cleaning the pavilion near the rockery, I saw Miss Hongrui brought two women into the rockery."

"When I was passing by the rockery, I heard a voice inside and went in to have a look. I saw Miss Hongrui and two women holding thick wooden sticks, as if they were discussing something. I was scared and left."

"I'm the girl Hongrui I saw near the rockery. She was holding a thick wooden stick in her hand. Later I saw her throw the thick wooden stick into the lotus pond."

The three of them spoke in great detail. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn't be able to tell.

The more Hong Rui and the two women heard, the paler their complexions became. At the end, fine beads of sweat had oozed from their foreheads, and their backs were also sticky.

Cui Siniang's expression was also very ugly, she didn't expect Hongrui to be so careless in handling things, now that the matter has been revealed, what should she do?
Mrs. Cui glanced at Cui Siniang, her heart was like a mirror.

The next moment, Madam Cui's heart suddenly filled with hatred, if it wasn't for that old man Cui Quan saying that only four people can go to each room, and she is not allowed to bring another person to the banquet, how could today's incident happen?

"Mother--"

The voice of the daughter-in-law brought Mrs. Cui back from her thoughts. She looked at Mrs. Cui, only to hear Mrs. Cui carefully ask: "Mother, look at this matter."

Mrs. Cui did not answer her, but looked at Cui Siniang, her tone was as gentle as ever: "Si Niang, is what they said true?"

For some reason, Cui Siniang felt scared even though she heard her grandmother's voice as usual, her legs became weak and her body fell down.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Liu supported her daughter and took a step forward to block her.

"Old madam, Si Niang has always loved sisters, how could she do such a thing to harm her sisters? There must be a misunderstanding, please investigate this matter thoroughly, old madam."

Looking at Liu's frank and fearless face, Mrs. Cui did not feel disgusted for the first time. Although this woman came from a bad background and had a cowardly personality, she was not useless to stand up to protect her daughter at a critical moment.

Cui Siniang finally came to her senses, she broke free from her mother's hand, and walked out from behind her mother: "Grandma, I never thought of hurting anyone, especially my relatives.

"I didn't order anyone to hurt Ba Niang either, this matter has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, she walked up to Hongrui and asked sharply, "Say, who ordered you to hurt Ba Niang?"

"I..." Hongrui looked at Cui Siniang's warning eyes, and was suddenly speechless.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two women kneeling next to her hurriedly begged for mercy: "Madam, please forgive me, we can't help ourselves, all of this was ordered by Si Niang."

"Clap--"

Mrs. Liu rushed over, raised her hand and slapped them twice: "Stop slandering Si Niang!
"Did Si Niang personally order you to hurt Ba Niang, or did Si Niang write down the order herself? If not, then you should stop talking nonsense and trap Si Niang into injustice."

The two wives covered their hot faces and were speechless. The third lady's words obviously meant that they should take the blame.

No, they are not the culprits, so why let them take the blame?
The two wives secretly looked at each other, and then pointed at Hongrui: "Old lady, it was she who told us to hurt Ba Niang, and it was she who hurt Ba Niang's leg, we just touched Ba Niang lightly." Mother twice."

"Yes, yes, we didn't dare to do anything, but lightly touched Ba Niang twice, and it was Miss Hongrui who made Ba Niang almost unable to walk."

Hongrui was frightened and angry, she looked at them with red eyes: "You guys."

At this time, Mrs. Liu said disappointedly: "Hongrui, it's useless for me and Siniang to treat you well, but you use Siniang's name to hurt Ba Niang and make Siniang unrighteous. Si Niang is heartbroken."

Si Niang came to her senses, secretly pinched her leg, and burst into tears: "Hongrui, why did you do this?
"That's my own sister, what's the difference between you hurting her and hurting me?
"Where am I sorry for you, you want to treat me like this?"

Hongrui: "."

Now pushing her to take the blame, wouldn't it be wrong for her?
Hongrui gritted her teeth, feeling tangled in her heart.

However, before she could speak, Mrs. Cui had already announced: "Hongrui cheated, hurt Ba Niang, framed Si Niang, and committed a heinous crime.

"Come on, drag Hongrui out to play fifty big boards."

Mrs. Cui looked at the two wives again: "These two people helped the evildoer to abuse and hurt the master, so they also dragged them out and beat them thirty times."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hongrui struggled and shouted: "Old Furen, please forgive me, I only thought about it because of Siniang.

"Si Niang is the daughter of the first wife, and when Yuan Niang brings the sisters to the banquet, she is of course bringing the daughter of the first wife, how can she bring a daughter of the first order?
"Old madam, you must make the decision for Si Niang."

It is rare to find such a servant who does not forget to speak for his master when death is imminent.

Hongrui thought that by saying this she would win the old lady's appreciation and spare her life, but old lady Cui winked at Lady Du and said nothing.

When they arrived in the yard, Mrs. Du ordered people to gag Hongrui and the two women, and then began to beat the board.

"one two three four"

After thirty boards were played, the two women rolled their eyes and never moved again.

After hitting fifty boards, Hongrui was dying.
