don't wear no acquaintance

"What did you say?"

Hearing Lei Ting's words suddenly, Bai Shile's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked back in disbelief.

"The lower official said that the man who woke up was named Li Yuzhu, and he kept yelling that he was the commander's wife's personal maid——Yuxiu's younger brother..."

Lei Ting patiently repeated what he said just now.

Seeing Bai Shile's reaction like this, he was sure that Li Yuzhu was not lying.

So, that man is really the younger brother of the servant girl next to 'Madam'!
Thinking this way in his heart, Lei Ting quickly glanced at Zhao Yunshen who was sitting opposite him, as stable as an old dog, and couldn't help feeling a little uncertain;
Why didn't the 'Madam' respond at all?
Thinking about it, Lei Ting immediately turned his head. How could he know that the reason why Zhao Yunshen was so calm was due to his nature on the one hand, and the other reason was that he didn't know Li Yuzhu at all!

At this time, Bai Shile looked at Yurun who was waiting on the side with a guilty conscience;

Although 'she' had heard of Li Yuzhu, she had never seen him at all, and she was not sure if she had seen him before, so she could only look to the intelligent Yurun for help!

Sure enough, Yurun is very good, and she knows that her "uncle" needs help with just one look;
"My lord, sister Yuxiu's real brother is indeed named Li Yuzhu. He is a lazy person who spends his days doing nothing but stealing things..."

When Li Yuzhu was mentioned, he remembered that Yuxiu was framed and married by his mother and brother, and Yurun was so angry that he poured out all the things he knew;

After all, she didn't arrange Li Yuzhu's random words!

"May I ask you, have you ever seen this Li Yuzhu?"

Lei Ting on the side hurriedly asked Yurun, just to confirm Li Yuzhu's identity again.

"It used to be common, but I haven't seen it much in recent months!"

Yurun replied truthfully, which made Bai Shile thoughtful, and Lei Ting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then please tell me about Li Yuzhu's appearance carefully!"

It was inconvenient to take someone to identify Li Yuzhu at night, Lei Ting could only pin his hopes on Yurun;

If they can confirm that Li Yuzhu's identity is true, then they will have a very favorable clue, and they will have a clue when they get busy tomorrow!

"This Li Yuzhu is not tall, half a head shorter than Xia Shiwei, thin, with slanted eyes and a big mouth, and a smooth tongue. The most important thing is that his left hand is born with six toes. Here, he has one more little finger than others. ..."

Thinking of this important clue, Yurun excitedly gesticulated on her hand and told it. It was also this clue that made Lei Ting nod his head with absolute certainty when he looked at Bai Shile.

And Li Yuzhu, because his left hand has one more finger than ordinary people, and because he is idle and has no serious business to do, it is very difficult to be a daughter-in-law, so that he sucks the "blood" of his own sister, Yuxiu, all year round. .

After getting this positive clue, Lei Ting left immediately to arrange the next thing.

And Bai Shile couldn't figure it out, how could Li Yuzhu have something to do with this matter?

"Tell me, does this Li Yuzhu know something?"

Bai Shile, who was tossing and turning on the bed and unable to fall asleep, turned around and stared at Zhao Yunshen, who was lying upright, and asked.

'She' never expected that Li Yuzhu would suddenly appear on the way!

And this person is more or less related to them!
"It's unlikely, the only hope is to see if he saw anything last night!"

Zhao Yunshen opened his eyes and gave a particularly sober insight.

"He was hiding in the cellar in the backyard at the time. Maybe he discovered something and was afraid of being silenced, so he hid it in a hurry!"

Then, Bai Shile analyzed again.

"So, before asking everything clearly, Li Yuzhu has to be optimistic!"

Zhao Yunshen, who was afraid that the black hand behind the scenes would repeat the tricks, could not help reminding Bai Shile that he was also very worried.

"Don't worry, this time it's just an ant and I won't let it have a chance!"

Bai Shile gritted her teeth and promised ferociously, but in her heart she hoped that the person behind it would make another move, so that 'she' could take the opportunity to snatch out the fox's tail!
With that said, the two turned off the lights and rested!
……

"Cleaned up?"

Behind the gorgeous curtain, sitting with her back, a woman with a graceful figure and loose long hair, while carefully applying the ointment, casually asked the maid who bowed her head and knelt outside the curtain;
That tone was as relaxed and normal as asking about the weather!
"Master, don't worry, it's been cleaned up!"

The kneeling maid didn't dare to neglect at all, and immediately raised her head to answer respectfully.

"You have always done things cleanly, but this time things went wrong one after another..."

Behind the curtain, the woman's gentle and soft voice was filled with indescribable coldness, causing the maid who was kneeling outside to change her face instantly, trembling all over, bowing her head and begging for mercy;
"I beg Master to spare your life, Li Zi will be more careful in the future, and will not cause the slightest trouble to Master, please forgive Li Zi this time!"

The maid named Lizi begged with a trembling voice, and then kowtowed continuously;
"Bang... bang... bang..."

His forehead hit the cold and hard ground heavily, making a muffled sound, but the person behind the curtain was unmoved at all, still focusing on applying ointment on his face in front of the mirror.

It wasn't until Lizi's forehead was bleeding, and his whole face was almost covered with blood, that the woman behind the curtain moved lazily, and spoke softly;
"From now on, you should be more clean and tidy in your work. Don't bother me, otherwise..."

"Please rest assured, Master, Li Zi will never implicate Master, otherwise Li Zi would commit seppuku!"

Lizi's resolute and forceful answer made the woman behind the curtain laugh with satisfaction, and her hazy and graceful figure made people even more curious about her appearance!

Just imagine, a woman with such a graceful figure and such a soft voice must have a good appearance!

……

Early the next morning, crying and noise came from a residential house in the south of the city;
"Go, save your brother now!"

"How do you want me to save it?"

"Aren't you Missy's servant girl? Go and ask Missy to tell my uncle..."

"I am no longer Miss's maid, I was sold by my mother, have you forgotten?"

It turned out to be Li Yuzhu's old lady, Mrs. Tian. After learning that her son was locked up in the yamen, she first thought of Yuxiu, her daughter, and came to her in-law's house early in the morning, ordering Yuxiu as a mother. Xiu went to rescue his brother.

Yuxiu, who had already been heartbroken by her mother, didn't accept it as usual, but retorted and asked Mrs. Tian, ​​who was full of worries about her son, to have a guilty conscience.

"You... my old lady raised you for nothing, and now your waist is so hard that you talk to my old lady like this?"

"Just say which woman doesn't marry? You don't appreciate it when you are the master of the house early, but you resent me in your heart. Is it possible that you want to be a slave for the rest of your life?"

Seeing Yuxiu looking directly at her with indifference, Mrs. Tian put one hand on her hip and pointed at her neck with the other, and began to curse.

Looking at the familiar face in front of her, she was extremely bored, her eyes calmly stared at the spittle flying woman in front of her, who gave birth to her but never raised her!
"I'm willing to be Miss's slave for the rest of my life!"

Throwing down these words coldly, Yuxiu didn't want to say anything more to Mrs. Tian, ​​so she turned around and was about to enter the house.

"You stop..."

However, Mrs. Tian yelled loudly, stepped forward and grabbed her arm tightly and accused her again...
