Chapter 47 Homemade Bitter Fruit (1)
There was only a 'bang' sound, the fruit was scattered everywhere, and the fruit plate was smashed to pieces.The play on the stage also called a stop!Several maids hurried forward to pick up all the things, put them on a wooden tray, and carried them down.

A few sharp-eyed wives saw a bead slip out of Mrs. Liu's sleeve and roll to the corner of the wall.

"What's going on?" Gu asked angrily.

The little girl hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "Return to Madam, just now when this servant was serving fruit, she was bumped by the third Madam, and she couldn't hold it firmly for a while, which broke the fruit plate. I also ask Madam to forgive me."

This happy day was actually disturbed by a maid.Just as Mrs. Gu was about to get angry, she heard Jingyi on the side laughing happily: "Mother, this is a good sign! Be safe every year!"

Gu Shi was startled, and then realized that the word 'year' and 'broken' have the same pronunciation, so it's not just Sui Sui Ping An!

All the ladies and ladies heard this, and they all beamed with joy, "Yes! Madam Su, you are safe and sound every year!"

All of a sudden, the congratulations were heard everywhere, and the flower hall was full of laughter again.

"Hey, isn't this Madam's Ye Mingzhu? Why is it here so well?" Only a woman shouted.

Everyone heard the sound and looked around, and saw that the woman was walking towards Mrs. Gu with a pearl the size of Huang Xing'er in her hand.

Gu took a look, his face changed suddenly, and he said sharply: "Who did this? This bead is obviously in my bedroom, how could it come here for no reason?"

Just now the maid hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Go back to Madam, just now the Third Madam bumped into the servant girl, and the servant overturned the fruit plate, and saw something slipping out of the Third Madam's sleeve, but I didn't look carefully, is it this thing or not?" .”

"What nonsense! What did I do with sister-in-law's Ye Mingzhu for no reason? You don't have to talk nonsense here!" Liu said excitedly.

The old lady took a look at her, tapped the floor tiles with her cane, and said, "Okay! There are still guests here, so Hugh is out of manner!"

When Gu Shi heard this, her brows tightened, she was going to let it go!But she is my mother-in-law, what else can I do?

Jingyi took a step forward, looked at the Ye Mingzhu in Gu's hand, and blurted out: "Mother, isn't this the Ye Mingzhu bestowed by the emperor a while ago?"

One word stirred up a thousand waves!

I saw General Weiyuan's wife Liu Shi, Jingyi's aunt got up and walked over, "Sister, since this is a royal gift, it is unusual, but it needs to be carefully questioned."

The other wives also responded to your words, and I responded one after another.

Seeing this, the old lady closed her eyes helplessly, since 'Imperial Citation' was involved, it was not something she could easily decide.

The maids and women present all knelt in front of the flower hall, waiting for Gu's interrogation.

After Mrs. Gu asked one by one, everyone in the flower hall looked at Mrs. Liu.

Liu was very anxious and said angrily: "What do you see me doing? Sister-in-law, do you really believe that I will steal your things?"

Mrs. Gu smiled coldly, "Third brother and sister, I don't believe you will steal my things. It's just that you heard it just now, so many maids and women saw that you left the banquet and went to my yard. Don't the third siblings plan to explain themselves?"

"I, I didn't do it, why do I need to explain?" When Liu turned her head, she looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

Seeing her being so arrogant, Mrs. Gu was very annoyed!In front of many wives and ladies, this Liu Shi dared to talk to him like this, it was extremely rude!
At this time, there was another sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Mrs. Gu glanced at it, it was Madam Du who was guarding the yard.

Mrs. Gu complied, and asked loudly: "Let me ask you, has anyone been to my yard today?"

Madam Du lowered her head, "Go back to Madam, only the third Madam has been to your yard, and even entered your bedroom, saying that your handkerchief got wet by accident, and all the mamas around you were busy, so for a while If you can’t get away, she will fetch another handkerchief for Madam.”

Liu's face turned pale, "You're talking nonsense! When did I go there?"

When Madam Du saw that she refused to admit it, she was not in a hurry, she just said: "Go back to Madam, at that time the servant also thought that you and Madam Liu were not there, and there were only the old slave and two little girls in the whole yard. In case What is missing in your room, the slaves can't afford to wait, so at first they refused to let the third lady into the house, but the third lady insisted that you let her come back, and she reached out and pulled out a piece of hair on her head. The peony gold hairpin is the proof." After speaking, Madam Du took out a peony gold hairpin from her sleeve.

Nanny Liu took it and presented it to Mrs. Gu for a closer look.

Gu said coldly: "Third siblings, before you leave, you still wear this gold hairpin on your head. Why did it fall into the hands of my servant in the blink of an eye?"

Jingyi's aunt stepped forward to take a look, she also shook her head and said, "Isn't it the one she was wearing earlier? Third Madam, you are too careless."

One of the very elegantly dressed ladies said loudly: "Look, isn't this the bead that slipped out of the third lady's sleeve just now?"

Starting with her, several other wives also said that they saw the beads rolling out of Mrs. Liu's sleeves with their own eyes.

At this time, Mrs. Liu was trembling with anger!She obviously bribed Liu Tao in Jingyi's yard to let her go to Gu's yard under Jingyi's name, why now she went there by herself?And this nobile as proof?
The old lady said softly: "This matter, according to my old age, it may not be the Liu family's doing. If she really took the Ye Mingzhu, why didn't she put it back in her yard? Besides, why leave another golden hairpin as proof? "

After hearing this, the ladies had different opinions.Gu's eyes sank, indeed, what the old lady said was also reasonable.But the bead really rolled out of Mrs. Liu's sleeve, which cannot be denied.

Jing Yi raised her eyes to look at Liu Shi, a cunning flashed in those clear eyes, Liu Shi, do you really think you can get what you want this time?I'm afraid this time, you're going to be in bad luck!

No matter how stupid Mrs. Liu was, she understood at this moment that she was being tricked!She originally thought that Liu Tao would go to Gu's yard, search through Gu's dormitory, and look for it!Even if someone finds out, it's still Jingyi's girl and has nothing to do with her.If things get serious, it will be Gu's own embarrassment!Who let the girl next to his daughter do such immoral things?In this way, Jingyi's reputation will be ruined!
At the beginning, I just promised Liu Tao that after the work was completed, she could be transferred to my yard to be my son's housekeeper, and later I would raise her to be my aunt, and Liu Tao agreed with great joy.But how could it become like this now?
Seeing Liu's blushing in a cold sweat, Jingyi turned her head and asked Madam Du: "The third aunt is in mother's bedroom, can someone accompany her?"
