save people?

The girl pursed her cherry lips and smiled lazily.Then he turned around and walked out.

After they left the Discipline Academy, they met a group of pilgrims clamoring to go to the Discipline Academy to see Master Mingfei's verdict. Madam saw this, thought for a while, and finally showed a look of enlightenment.

And Dongfangyu looked at the round-faced girl hidden in the pilgrim, blinked, and sent a glance of appreciation without hesitation.

Going back to the courtyard of Puji Temple that was specially pulled out for the female relatives of the Dongfang Mansion to live in, one could hear faint arguments coming from a distance.

When Madam heard the voice, she couldn't help frowning, and her pace quickened a lot.

In the blink of an eye, Madam came back to the courtyard door, she didn't stop, she stared in and looked in, only to see Si Yiniang and Dongfang Ni standing outside Ji Sulian's room, they were arguing fiercely.

"What's wrong with being so noisy, is there anything you can't discuss properly?" Seeing this situation, the madam couldn't help but froze. She frowned and turned cold. past.

"Ma'am!" Fourth Aunt and the others trembled almost imperceptibly when they heard her voice.

In this salutation in unison, in addition to the usual honorifics, there is also a sense of anger in it.

When Madam heard several people addressing her in unison, her heart felt dull for a moment.

"What are you doing?" Madam hurried over, watching Dongfang Ni and Ji Sulian staring at each other like a cockfight. "Fourth aunt, tell me what happened."

Madam gave Ji Sulian and Dongfang Ni a hard look, and then planned to listen to Fourth Aunt.Unexpectedly, when Ji Sulian heard this, she immediately protested dissatisfied: "Ma'am, Fourth Aunt is Miss Fourth's biological mother. If you ask her to tell her, she will definitely favor her daughter."

The madam couldn't help but glared at Ji Sulian when she heard the words, she is really a woman with no plans; she just let the fourth aunt tell her on purpose, even if she hears anything that is not good for Ji Sulian, she can use it as an excuse. The mother-daughter relationship between Fourth Auntie and Dongfangyu made big things into small things.

The madam gave Ji Sulian a cold look, and her heart began to ache.

Since Ji Sulian was so unmotivated, she didn't bother to bother.

"According to you, who would be fair?" Madam glanced at her coldly, with a hint of mockery in her tone, "You don't want to say it yourself, do you?"

Ji Sulian felt aggrieved when she heard her sarcastic sneer, but she gritted her teeth, turned her head to look at the aunt not far away, suddenly raised her finger to her, and said: "Ma'am, my aunt never talks to you." People have turned against each other, and she has been here just now, so let her talk about it."

The madam raised her eyebrows, and looked at the auntie with a trace of inquiry in her eyes.After thinking about it for a while, he said: "That's okay, my aunt is always fair, so I will tell you the whole story."

The aunt raised her cold eyes, looked at the crowd without emotion, and said slowly: "Since the madam has something to say, let me say it myself."

"The thing is like this: when the fourth lady was about to take a rest, she suddenly heard some unusual noises before approaching the bed, so she asked your mother to go and have a look. Seeing this thing, Fourth Miss screamed in fright; then Fourth Aunt and the others all ran over when they heard her cry."

The auntie paused for a moment, and then said: "The concubine also came over at that time, and indeed saw poisonous scorpions crawling on Miss Fourth's bed; everyone managed to get rid of all the scorpions, but because Miss Fourth was frightened, she didn't She was willing to go to bed and rest; so she asked Zhuxiang to dress her up and prepare to go out for a walk. Who knew that when she was dressing up, Zhuxiang realized that Miss Fourth's favorite hairpin was missing..."

Dongfang Yu lazily leaned aside and listened to what Auntie said. At this time, his eyebrows and eyes were raised, his bright eyes showed a thoughtful look, and the corners of his mouth were even slightly raised, showing a playful smile.

"Zhuxiang and Gui's mother searched in the room, but they couldn't find the hairpin after searching all over the room; Fourth Aunt asked Fourth Miss if she had worn it somewhere and lost it accidentally; later Fourth Miss thought Woke up, she had walked around the courtyard wearing that hairpin before, and then went to sit in the young lady's room for a while..."

After hearing this, Madam finally understood the whole story.

That is to say, Dongfang Ni didn't find the lost hairpin in the yard, and she must have insisted on entering Ji Sulian's room in the end, but Ji Sulian refused to let her in, so the matter froze here.

"Su Lian." Madam frowned, with a trace of impatience and hatred for iron and steel in her eyes, "Just let them go in and look for it; whether you find it or not, let them look for it, and it will be fine." Peace of mind."

Ji Sulian looked at Madam with grievances, how could this matter be as simple as what the aunt said on the surface; if Dongfang Ni really found that hairpin in her room, she might be blamed for something The charge of deliberately hiding and not paying back!
Besides, Dongfang Ni turned around in her room at the beginning, so the hairpin pinned to her hair was so easy, it just happened to fall in her room.

When Dongfang Ni heard this, she couldn't help giving Ji Sulian a slightly smug look.

"Then may I ask Madam, this matter at the moment..." Although Si Yiniang could hear the overtones of Madam's dissatisfaction, it was about her daughter's safety, and she would not compromise easily.

"Su Lian, open the door and let everyone go in and help find it; if you find it, everyone will be happy; if you can't find it, then let them look for it elsewhere." The lady looked at the fourth aunt coldly, and turned her head without emotion Glancing at Ji Sulian carefully, she made a decision directly.

At this moment, Ji Sulian could only open her mouth aggrievedly, but could no longer refute Madam's decision.

Fourth Yiniang immediately forced Yuelan to open the door when she heard Madam's words, and then rushed in like a swipe.

This is called looking for a hairpin, but in fact, what she was looking for was something else... that thing led the scorpion to Dongfangni's bed, and when Dongfangni lay down, as long as she was stung, Dongfangni It is possible to lose your life.

Madam looked at Si Yiniang's eager look, although she was extremely dissatisfied, but she just frowned, tried her best to suppress her displeasure, turned around and looked coldly at the crowd looking around in Ji Sulian's room.

"I found it." After a while, Fourth Aunt suddenly let out a cry of surprise, and everyone immediately stopped and looked at her.

But Madam looked at the thing in her hand, but it was not a hairpin.

"Fourth aunt, I remember you are just in your early thirties, why are you aging prematurely? What is this thing?"

The madam sneered coldly, which immediately made everyone nervous for no reason.
