Chapter 155
"There's no need for that. It's because the servants were negligent and slack. It's just that this matter has passed, and the inn has been repaired and taken care of. There is really nothing to rely on." Aunt Zhen looked very ugly.

If she confronts Lin Shi in front of her, Lin Shi will definitely not admit it, and will definitely push everything on her.

"The people in the Ma family and Wang family are still talking about the strangeness of the fire. If the result is not found out, more people will make wild guesses. For example, some people think that someone in this house doesn't want me. Come back." Xu Jiatong said.

For Mammy Zhen, catching the person who set the fire was not terrible, what was terrible was finding out the person behind it.The master humiliated the slave to death, and she would not be the only one who would suffer at that time, but...

"How could this happen? It's all an accident. Marquis Ding'an Mansion is the girl's home, how could anyone not want the girl to come back." Aunt Zhen explained, but she felt that the words she said were light and weightless.

Xu Jiatong pretended to nod, but the meaning in his tone was different: "Yes, no one would not want me to come back. But maybe there is a servant who will murder for money? I am planning to report this matter to Madam. Arrest the villain who murdered his fortune and send him to the government. The carriage of the fifth younger sister was delayed that day, and she was frightened when she learned about it. The fifth younger sister can also write a letter and ask the third uncle to ask questions on her behalf. , I believe things will come to light soon.”

"That day I heard that the inn where the fourth sister and Miss Ma were staying was on fire. When I rushed over, I saw only one article of ruins. I broke out in a cold sweat and recuperated for a few days. Writing a letter is just asking parents to decide." Xu Jiaqing echoed.

In this way, when the people from the ancestral house came to ask, Lin would only find one person to deal with, and what would be lost would not be an errand, but probably his life.

With a "plop", Mother Zhen knelt down on the hard ground and begged for mercy: "Fourth Miss and Fifth Miss, please forgive me. The servants were sleepy and slack that day. It is really hard to forgive, but the crime is not fatal. You put the matter like this Let’s talk about it, if we can’t find the person who set the fire, in the end, we can only take the blame for the servant, and ask the two girls to save the slave’s life.”

"I don't think Second Aunt and Second Uncle are such people who don't distinguish between right and wrong. If you didn't do it, they would definitely not wrong you." Xu Jiaqing looked at Aunt Zhen suspiciously.

Xu Jiatong suddenly smiled, patted the back of Xu Jiaqing's hand, stood up, and walked in front of Aunt Zhen.

"It turns out that father and mother are such people who don't distinguish between right and wrong in your heart." Xu Jiatong half-truthfully said, and suddenly reached out to help her, "Okay, okay, get up quickly, and I'm joking with you. Right and wrong, right and wrong, in my heart Clearly, people who are not worthy of being wronged will not be wronged. However, when you come to Huayuan, you should abide by the rules of Huayuan, can you remember this truth?"

"Miss, don't worry, when the servant comes to serve the girl, you will naturally put you first. The servant will only make things more convenient for you, and will not block your way." Mother Zhen said.

Being appointed by the Lin family, he is naturally not here to serve others.But Mother Zhen didn't expect that she would be kicked out as soon as she stepped on the threshold of the painting garden.

If she didn't obey, Xu Jiatong could threaten her with the incident of the fire. If she desperately tried to be shameless, Mrs. Lin would definitely give her a confession to settle the matter.At that time, it will only be her who will lose her life. Compared with the little reward she got for being an eyeliner, she will naturally choose to save her own life.

"Fourth sister, don't believe her, I think she has a ghost in her heart. Let's ask the second aunt to make the decision and take her to the torture room for interrogation, and we will definitely find out." Xu Jiaqing also knew that there was something strange about the fire, but She's just opened up, and she doesn't suspect Lin's yet, but Aunt Zhen in front of her is very suspicious.

Xu Jiatong smiled: "Fifth sister, I don't think she did it. Aunt Zhen, as long as you behave yourself here, I will naturally not make things difficult for you. If you are willing to do your best, I will naturally not treat you badly. In fact, I There is also a guest here on weekdays, the sixth younger sister. She will come here every few days to ask me about embroidery. I often go to Dai's mansion. When I am not around, she can only practice alone in the wing room. If there is no one to accompany her, why don't you greet her well for me?"

Excuse Aunt Zhen and ask her to greet Xu Jiaxing?Xu Jiaqing couldn't tell why, but she wouldn't take down Xu Jiatong's stage as stupidly as she did before, and just sat on the side and stared at Aunt Zhen.

Aunt Zhen was about to get up, but when she heard "Sixth Sister", she couldn't help but tremble all over, and knelt down stiffly.

Mother and daughter bond, Xu Jiatong knows that Mrs. Lin has never allowed Nanny Zhen and Xu Jiaxing to get close, but who can stop a mother from caring for her daughter?If it was possible, Aunt Zhen would not be so submissive.She was not surprised that Aunt Zhen had such a reaction.

"Are you willing? This is the first thing I tell you. If you refuse, you don't have to serve me." Xu Jiatong said.

"Slaves are rude, they are not worthy to treat guests for girls." Aunt Zhen didn't want to, but she didn't dare.

"Forget my misjudgment, Fifth Sister, you'd better go write a letter." Xu Jiatong ordered casually, and sat down to look at Aunt Zhen who was kneeling on the ground, who was obviously a little flustered but tried her best to calm herself down, "Prince and General It's better to be kind, let alone...it's just a small thing to serve others, if you don't want to do it, then do something more tiring and difficult."

Mother Zhen's expression has returned to normal at this time, she said in a businesslike manner: "I will obey your orders and take care of Miss Six so that you don't lose face."

"Actually, as long as nothing major happens, father and mother won't be disturbed. You shouldn't do such a thing, right? Well, I have something to say to Fifth Sister, you go down first." Xu Jiatong glanced at Aunt Zhen , there is a hint in the eyes.

Aunt Zhen was terrified by her look, and left the main room in a daze.The sun outside was very warm. She stood in the courtyard and looked back in the direction of the main house.

Probably not, with Xu Xiaozu's acquiescence, those who knew about it had either been silenced, sold or sent far away.

Besides, when that incident happened, Xu Jiatong was less than two years old, and his first wife, Mrs. Du, had also passed away, so she shouldn't have known about it...

Inside the house, Xu Jiaqing said puzzledly: "Fourth sister, she clearly has a ghost in her heart, you still keep her, what if something happens again."

"If you drive her away, there will be another one. Let's be more vigilant, but what I said just now can make her be honest for a while. I guess she won't dare to make trouble unless she really wants to die." Xu Jiatong said.

"You still have a way. Even if she is not the real culprit, there must be some connection. If you are afraid of losing your life, you must not dare to go too far." Xu Jiaqing thought she was talking about arson, and said clearly.

It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, Xu Jiatong didn't explain much, and changed the subject: "How is your embroidery preparation?"
