After crossing, I want to be with you every day

171 Chapter 3 Big trouble [-]
When the mayor heard that Lu Xinghua mentioned his home, he knew it was not good.

Although he was sure that it was Fan Xinlian who instigated it, it didn't mean that their family was innocent.

At this time, he couldn't help but feel angry with that old wife who didn't live up to expectations.

It was not easy to get a good relationship with the Lu inspection office, and her son was still eating under his hands. What was this old woman thinking, and she went to trouble the Lu family again and again.

On the other hand, Fan Xinlian knew something was wrong when she heard that a servant came to her door.

Mrs. Fan came to her in a hurry, and the first thing she said when they met her was, "Tell me, did you do what Mrs. Chen did?"

Fan Xinlian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she couldn't hide it anymore, "Mother, I'm just not reconciled, my father is also a master of Juren, and I am also known as a talented woman in the county, how can I be introduced by her?" Village women bullying!"

Madam Fan was so angry that she slapped her twice.

How did she give birth to such an ignorant daughter!

Now that the matter has come to this point, the only way to get her out is to find a way.

Fortunately, if it's just spreading rumors maliciously, it shouldn't be a capital offense. If you use some means and methods yourself, that girl must not dare to recruit the master.

Fan Xinlian is a girl who has not left the court, Madam Fan let her stay in the mansion, and took her to the court by herself.

On the other side, someone has already delivered news to the county school.

Fan Juren is the teacher of the county school, so such a big event, no matter whether Fan Xinlian is involved or not, will have a certain influence on him.

Soon, the maid was brought to court.

Mrs. Fan saluted and said: "My lord, the woman has just heard about the malicious smearing of Mrs. Chen's reputation. This girl is a servant of my Fan family. It is true that she went with the woman a few days ago. In Qingshui Town, I lived in the mayor's house at that time."

The county magistrate nodded and told her to stand aside.

On the way here, the maid had already considered the importance.

Such cases are indeed not fatal, but some suffering is inevitable.

Thinking of her mother and younger siblings being held in the hands of the master, she didn't dare to have the slightest thought of rebellion.

"My lord, it was indeed Lu Xinghua who was found by the servant girl."

"Speak carefully!"

The maid then told the story of going shopping that day and seeing Lu Xinghua quarreling with others.

"In the early days, the young lady had some unpleasantness with Mrs. Chen. The servants saw that the young lady was in a bad mood, always sulked, and even fell ill, so they wanted to vent their anger on the young lady. That's why I thought of finding someone For destroying Lady Chen’s reputation, I ask your lord to investigate clearly, the servant did not do anything else, as for how to smear Chen Lady, it is completely up to Lu Xinghua to decide.”

How can Lu Xinghua admit it?
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense here! You were the one who told me that you were sure that Da Xiong's daughter-in-law would not be able to elope with someone, and that's why she married here, and Lu Daxiong was just greedy for Chen Xingyan's dowry and beauty. It's just color."

The little girl's face turned pale, and she turned her head and gave her a look: "I mean, but I don't care how to discredit Mrs. Chen, you just say I'll leave it to you."

Lu Xinghua was so angry that she wanted to get up and attack her, but was pinned down by the big stick of the yamen servant.

"You little slut, how dare you deny your account? I haven't been in touch with Daxiong's family for many years. How do I know about his wife? Didn't I hear it all from you? You now Just deny it? Let me tell you, I won't finish this matter with you!"

"quiet!"

The county magistrate rang the gavel again, and for a moment, the hall became much quieter.

"I probably know about this matter. Now, I will ask you again, how did you learn about these rumors about Mrs. Chen? Don't say you fabricated them out of thin air. I don't believe you have such a storybook." It's my job!"

In a word, the girl's back road was blocked.

This girl was originally confessed by the madam temporarily, but now that the adults questioned her, Madam Fan was naturally a little worried.

It would be bad if the daughter was exposed again.

Seeing that the servant girl was silent, Chen Xingyan smiled slightly and said, "My lord, the woman is the one who suffers, can you allow the woman to ask her a few questions?"

The county magistrate nodded: "Of course!"

"Thank you sir."

Chen Xingyan turned around, first cast his eyes around Mrs. Fan, smiled slightly, and then looked at the maid who was kneeling there.

"What's your name?"

The girl's heart was raised in her throat, she was afraid and panicked: "My maidservant's name is Xiaohong."

"Oh, Xiaohong was changed after you became a servant, right? What's your full name?"

"The servant girl's full name is Liu Xinhong. Later, because the word in the middle collided with Miss, she changed her name to Xiaohong. However, the household registration has not changed, and her name is still Liu Xinhong."

Chen Xingyan nodded: "You just said that your young lady had some grievances with me, so why don't you tell me when and where you had grievances with me?"

Xiaohong was taken aback, and Mrs. Fan beside her was a little anxious. Once she said it, her daughter's reputation would be ruined.

"Miss Chen, that's all in the past, so don't mention it."

Chen Xingyan noticed the begging look in Mrs. Fan's eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Okay, since Mrs. Fan has opened her mouth, I don't mind mentioning it. Then let me ask this little red girl again, are you Fan Xinlian's personal maid?"

"Yes."

"How long have you been in Fan's mansion? Why did you enter Fan's mansion as a servant?"

"My servant has been in Fan Manor for five years. My family was poor. Later, my wife was kind enough to lease the land to our family. However, the family has too many people to support me. That's why I entered Fan Manor as a maidservant."

"Then when you first entered Fan's residence, did you start serving the young lady?"

"How is it possible?" Xiao Hong shook her head and said, "When I first entered the mansion, I was only a handyman. Two years later, I was transferred to serve in Miss's courtyard, and was later promoted to be Miss's maid."

"Well, yes, how many people are left in your family? Usually they farm and work by themselves, maybe they can support themselves?"

As soon as Xiaohong heard that her family was mentioned, she naturally relaxed her guard slowly.

"There are seven people in the family, including the old and the young. How can we live a stable life only relying on God for food? In addition, my mother is not in good health, and my younger siblings are young. I have to get back more than half of the monthly money every month. The family subsidizes the family, otherwise, my mother can't afford the medicine, and I'm afraid she won't be able to support it at all."

Chen Xingyan nodded slightly, and said with a little emotion: "You are filial."

Xiaohong's eyes turned red, she wiped her cuffs, and said nothing.

"How much money do you make per month? Serving by Miss's side, rewards must be indispensable, right?"

Xiao Hong sniffed: "The servants have three slings a month, usually the lady's tipping is not too much, and when there is a lot, you may get a dime, and sometimes you will be deducted if you do something wrong."
