Medical Brocade

Chapter 23 Framed
"Slave...servant..." Dong Ling trembled even more when she heard this, "No...someone instructed."

"If you do it honestly, I can intercede with the master, and I can give you a lighter sentence, but if you want to protect someone, then the only thing you can do is to serve with a stick." There are threats between the lines in Hu Bi's words.

When Dong Ling heard this, she immediately softened her body. She knelt and turned her head, and threw herself at Qin Xiangyue's feet, weeping miserably: "Second Madam, you want to save this servant, this servant did this for the sake of You."

"What did you say?" Qin Xiangyue was stunned at the moment, but after all, she also stayed in the Qu family for so long, she immediately realized, "Don't accuse me, you are not a maid in my yard."

Dong Ling is the old lady's servant girl. Qin Xiangyue put the blame on the old lady when she cleared it up like this. When the old lady heard it, she snorted coldly: "So, I ordered it?"

Qin Xiangyue knew that she had offended the old lady, so her tone was a little more tactful: "Mother, of course I didn't mean that, but you can't wrong me like this!"

"Dong Ling, tell me, are you framing the second lady?" Qu Fengquan opened his mouth to prevent the women from pushing back and forth.

"Master, this servant is telling the truth." Fearing that everyone would not believe me, Dong Ling confessed, "Under the bed in the servant's room, there are 100 taels of silver bills and a hairpin, both of which were given to the servant by the second lady."

"Come here, go and get the things under Dong Ling's bed." Dong Ling said in such detail that Qu Fengquan already believed it a little, and ordered his servants to search.

Qin Xiangyue sat there, even if she hadn't done it before, she was a little disturbed by such a clear statement, as if she had really bribed Dong Ling.

Now it's hard to tell who's words are true and who's words are false. Only after the things are brought can we tell right from wrong.

While everyone was waiting, Ye Moyan was the one who was the least worried. After all, it was the Qu family's business. He already felt a little abrupt here, so naturally he would not interrupt.

After a while, the servant who was ordered to search came over with a blue bundle, and under Qu Fengquan's signal, the servant opened the blue bundle.

Everyone waited eagerly. After opening the blue bundle, there was indeed a silver ticket inside. Along with the silver ticket was a hairpin inlaid with gold. Most of the gold ornaments like this were made by Qin Xiangyue.

"What else do you have to say now!" Qu Fengquan saw it, and immediately questioned Qin Xiangyue.

Qin Xiangyue took a few steps forward, knelt at Qu Fengquan's feet, sobbing endlessly: "Master, it's not me, it's really not me, this hairpin was still there a few days ago."

"There are all witnesses and material evidence, but you still want to quibble." Qu Fengquan's feet were retracted, and Qin Xiangyue fell to the ground without any strength.

"Master, there is no reason, why should I make trouble with Ruowen, master, you have to trust me." Qin Xiangyue was terrified, but there was nothing she could do except cry.

"Sister, I don't think you have a reason. If you ask Mo Yan to give her the "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms", you should be jealous. Ruoting was ill yesterday, and the master went to Linglong Courtyard first, so you will feel jealous." Full of resentment, that's why he came up with such a murder with a knife." Hu Bi counted Qin Xiangyue's crimes, as if he had seen through all the plots.

When Qin Xiangyue heard this, she stopped her tears and looked at Hu Bi fiercely: "Hu Bi, is it you, is it you who framed me?"

"Sister, don't jump over the wall and bite people." Hu Bi immediately dismissed Qin Xiangyue's words.

"Come here, beat the second lady's stick ten times, bring it to the ancestral hall, kneel down for three days to think about it, and then bring it back to Xiangyueyuan. Within a month, you are not allowed to step out of the yard. Beat twenty, demoted to third-class servant girl."

"My lord, I was wronged, I was really wronged!" Qin Xiangyue burst into tears after hearing Qu Fengquan's punishment. She is a dignified second wife of the Qu family, but she will be punished with a stick. , "Master, Ruoting is so old, if she knows that my mother has been tortured with a stick, how can she raise her head in front of servants in the future."

Qu Fengquan hesitated for a moment, and Hu Bi added more embellishments: "Sister, I didn't mean Ruoting, she should take care of her temperament, otherwise, I don't know what will hurt the Qu family's face."

"Drag it out and beat it immediately." Qu Fengquan was already impatient, so the servant came up, and the four of them worked together to drag Qin Xiangyue and Dong Ling out, just like Qu Ruowen.

In the yard, two benches were immediately placed, and the servants put people on them.

Qin Xiangyue struggled hard, Qu Fengquan called two servants to forcefully hold her body.

"Uncle Shi, it's really a bit..."

Ye Moyan couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and wanted to persuade her, but Hu Bi tried to persuade her again: "Moyan, I know you have a good temper and are easy to talk, but this is the Qu family's business, so you don't need to worry about it. If you stay like this for another three days If there is an accident at both ends, the Qu family will make people laugh."

When it comes to this level, Ye Moyan can only keep his mouth shut and be a bystander.

"What are you still doing, why don't you hurry up and do it." Hu Bi commanded the servants, urging several people to do it.

Each of the four held a wooden stick as thick as a fist in their hands, the same as when the stick was bent.With a wave of the moment, he has already hit it.

Qin Xiangyue and Dong Ling yelled in pain, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, the more they beat down, the more they screamed. Qin Xiangyue scolded Hu Bi while yelling.

"I'm old, you can do whatever you want, Shuangxi, help me into the house." The old lady shook her head, turned and went back to the house.

Hu Bi also took a lukewarm look at the old lady, and continued to watch Qin Xiangyue's fate with a sneer.

"Father, wait, please allow my daughter to say a few words." Halfway through the execution of the stick, at the gate of the yard, Qu Ruowen limped in with Chun Shao's support.

Qin Xiangyue and Dong Ling were beaten in public, which meant a warning, but the servants and maids in the mansion talked too much, and it spread quickly, so Qu Ruowen naturally knew about it.

Originally, Qu Ruowen was still wondering who was plotting against her behind the scenes, but now, she knew who it was without guessing. However, it was like who was the murderer who killed Luo An and Bao Fu. After tracing it down, Hu Bi's roots in the Qu family are too deep, not to mention being the main house, she has a son and a daughter, and there is a silk merchant Hu's family. She definitely has the power to harm anyone if she doesn't like it.

With Hu Bi as her enemy, she is already under control everywhere, if she messes with Qin Xiangyue again, life will be even more difficult in the future, so this is the reason why she walked here from Linglong Courtyard with difficulty.

However, she was not in a hurry to dissuade him. After all, Qin Xiangyue was also responsible for being beaten with a stick yesterday.
