Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 226 Master, You Admit the Wrong Person (4)
Zhixiang stopped crying and looked at Zhu Shi in amazement, even Gong Liang said: "Mother, why did you blame Zhixiang? It's clearly, clearly..."

Zhixiang looked at Zhu's face, and said: "Master, madam is right, even if it is death, Zhixiang should make it clear, otherwise even if it is death, I am afraid that death will not be clean, and people will be punished with grievances." Suspect!"

Zhu said: "Whether you are wronged or not, we have to wait for the matter to be clarified before talking about it. Don't pretend to be pitiful now, talk about it quickly."

Zhixiang wiped his tears and sobbed twice before saying: "Since the young master left the mansion, the servants did not dare to go out easily, for fear that others would say that the servants were ostentatious. Until this morning, the younger sister Caihe sent by the young lady to take care of the servants said that I have been there for a long time. Not going out for a walk, fearing that it would be bad for the fetus, the servant girl saw that the weather was not too cold, so she went to the garden to see Qiuju with the company of Caihe, but when she arrived in the garden, she found that the weather was still quite cold, so Caihe said she would go back to help her. I took the clothes, but the master suddenly appeared in the garden not long after she left, and said a lot of things that should not be said, and wanted to belittle the servant! The servant struggled desperately but could not avoid the master, thinking... ...After the young master came back in time, the master stopped, and as a result...the child of the pitiful slave was gone, woo woo..."

She cried and said that she was very innocent.

Mrs. Zhu didn't believe her words easily, and said: "Why didn't you go out for so many days, why did you go out today, and you happened to meet the master when you went out?!"

Zhixiang said: "If Caihe hadn't proposed, the servants would not go out. If they knew in advance that such a thing would happen, even if someone wanted to beat the servants to death, the servants would not take half a step into the garden!"

Zhu said again: "Since you feel cold, why don't you go back to your room, but ask Caihe to bring you clothes?"

Zhixiang said: "At that time we just entered the garden, sister Caihe said to get clothes and left immediately, the servant girl thought that her yard is not far from the garden, she should come back soon, so she didn't stop her. "

Mrs. Zhu thought about it, and asked again: "Didn't you say that Caihe brought you clothes, why did you become Liang'er?"

Zhixiang was stunned and said: "This servant doesn't know either. The servant thought that it would be a disaster, even calling the young master's name would be futile, but I didn't expect to call the young master..."

Mrs. Zhu turned her head and asked Lian Gongliang again, "How did you go to the garden at this time, what a coincidence?"

Lian Gongliang said: "After my son came back, I went to Muqin's place first. I wanted to go to see Zhixiang later, but I heard Caihe said that Zhixiang was in the garden and he was cold. My son went to Zhixiang's room to take it. The clothes are gone, fortunately the boy went there in time, otherwise..."

Sitting there, Mrs. Zhu pondered: "Zhixiang's yard is closer to the garden, why didn't Caihe take her clothes to the garden, but ran to Lin Muqin's farther away? Caihe was Lin's maid in the past. The superiors and servants in the mansion, it is said that if they want to serve Zhixiang, they should send the inferior servant girl, why did they send her to Zhixiang's side? It is certain that the Lin family will be dissatisfied when Zhixiang enters the mansion. This daughter-in-law designed it? But if it was designed by her, how could she grasp the timing so well when her son is away from home and his return date is uncertain? Could it be possible to count it..."

She guessed here and didn't speak, even Gongliang said: "Mother, Zhixiang is so innocent, why do you doubt her, she doesn't even have a child, it's pitiful enough!"

Zhu Shi saw that he was protecting Zhixiang blindly, but she couldn't find any flaws in Zhixiang, so she could only say with a cold face: "Even if this is what she said, it's not because she doesn't know how to behave and people mistakenly think that It's seduction, otherwise how could such a thing happen!"

Lian Gongliang said angrily: "You are still talking for, for that person! Could it be that you don't even want a son because of him!"

Zhu said: "After all, he is your father. Before the matter is clarified, you'd better not make random guesses!"

After speaking, he got up and left Zhixiang's room and entered Lin's yard.

After entering the room, Mrs. Lin saw that her complexion was not good, and asked cautiously: "Is sister Zhixiang better?"

Mrs. Zhu hummed with a sullen face, and said: "Send all the servants out, and you and Caihe will stay."

When Lin heard that she only allowed Caihe to stay besides herself, she was even more disturbed, but she didn't dare to respond, and quickly sent out all irrelevant people, telling them to hide far away and not allowed to eavesdrop.

After everyone went together, Mrs. Zhu asked Caihe instead of Mrs. Lin, and said, "You have been taking care of Zhixiang all these days when he entered the mansion?"

Cai He said: "Yes, madam."

Zhu said again: "You have been with her for so long, have you noticed anything unusual about her?"

Caihe glanced at Mrs. Lin anxiously, and said, "No, there is nothing unusual, except that I sometimes feel nauseous and can't eat."

Zhu said: "I didn't ask these things, I asked Fa if she found anything unusual in her behavior, would she go out quietly alone or something?"

Cai He said: "No, she is very concerned about the child in her womb, she walks carefully, and asks her slaves to do anything."

Zhu said: "I don't see anyone meeting her?"

Cai He said: "No, she only finds the young master in Manfu, and has never had contact with anyone else."

After Zhu asked these few sentences, she asked Lin again: "I remember that Caihe is not your maid, why did you send it to Zhixiang?"

Lin said: "My husband said that Zhixiang was pregnant and didn't know much about the rules of the house. He asked me to send someone capable to take care of her. I thought that Caihe was careful and sensible, so I sent her there."

Zhu said again: "Then she came back to get clothes for Zhixiang, why didn't she go back to Zhixiang's yard, instead she came to you?"

Lin's and Caihe's faces turned pale when she asked this question, Lin's eyes wandered a little, and said: "I just want to inquire about sister Zhixiang's health, and I told the servant girl to let her see Caihe and tell her to come here." , I didn't expect to find her here at this time."

Zhu said: "Oh, which maid brought Caihe here? Call me in and let me ask."

Lin's and Caihe's faces changed again. It was impossible to collude with the maid in advance about this matter. If they just mentioned a name casually, they would definitely reveal their secrets.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Mrs. Zhu slapped the table, and said, "How dare you lie, Caihe was sent by you to monitor Zhixiang, right?!"

Lin was so frightened that she quickly fell to her knees, and Caihe also knelt on the ground, her whole body trembling with fright.

Lin sobbed: "Mother-in-law, please calm down, my daughter-in-law sent Caihe there, I really don't have any bad intentions, just want to see if she is sincere to her husband, if she has, if she has spoken ill of me behind my back, the rest is really nothing, Zhi Xiang Xiaochan has nothing to do with us!"

Zhu said: "Does it really have nothing to do with you? Then why did Liang'er just return home and meet... Zhixiang's miscarriage?!"
