Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 44

"This... this... Jiaqing, what are you doing... ouch, a man and a widow are living in the same room, and this place is disheveled." An old lady's voice came first. I was almost out of breath.

Then there was another old and angry voice, obviously from an old man with great prestige: "What is Cheng, what is Cheng, Xu's family is unfortunate..."

"Fifth girl." Dongxue exclaimed, and ran out first, then ran to the next room.

Xu Jiatong and Bi Shui came to their senses one step later, and hurriedly chased them out.The two looked at each other with the same inexplicable look in their eyes. Except for the "heh", they didn't hear any other unusual sounds. After such a short time, they thought about how something that might have happened happened so inexplicably. ?
He went out and hurried to the next door, there was only a corridor of more than ten steps between them, the three of them arrived one after another, but when they looked inside, there was no one there.At this time, another voice came from the side room where Xu Jiatong stayed first, all three of them were startled, and trotted over without caring about their manners.

There were quite a few elderly people gathered at the door, hesitating at the moment, blushing and shaking their heads without arguing, seeing that Xu Jiatong and the others were all female relatives, they didn't stop them at all.

"Fifth sister, let's change our clothes first. Why did you come here? I just wet the mattress and went to the front room. Didn't I ask Bi Shui to tell you? Why did you come here again? ?" Xu Jiatong asked the truth.

Xu Jiatong and Bi Shui changed rooms before because the side room can only be entered from one side. If there is such a shady arrangement, people who come to see that the room where they were originally was empty will find the second room.Seeing someone sleeping inside, he must have mistaken it for her and entered by mistake.

Of course Xu Jiatong wanted to move Xu Jiaqing over directly, but when he thought that this was impossible, he made such a bad move.Unexpectedly, Xu Jiaqing appeared there by herself. Did she get confused after drinking the medicine, or was the person who made that "huh" just now secretly helping?
"I...fourth sister, I was sleepy just now, and somehow I came here." Xu Jiaqing faltered and explained, her voice was unnatural, soft and flattering.

"Let me see what's wrong?" Xu Jiatong sensed something was wrong, and reached out to touch her forehead, but Xu Jiaqing turned around and bumped into her.

No, Xu Jiaqing's hand was still groping behind her, and her arm was hot. The tremella and lotus seed soup probably contained not only ecstasy, but also... evil intentions, but I don't know if this medicine came from Xu Jiaqing's handwriting. , or someone else.

The old man's name is Xu Jinfeng, and the old lady is his wife, Mrs. Lu, who is respectfully called Master Zu and Mrs. Zu, and is the oldest elder of the Xu family.

Xu Jinfeng had come to his senses, turned his face and coughed with disgust, "Don't look at evil, don't look at evil." He pointed to Mrs. Lu, "This should be the fourth girl, you and her... first I don't know... the fifth girl is tidy up, I'll go find her father. And this little boy who doesn't know how to live or die, come here, pull me down first!"

Beside him who was speechless in fright was Xu Lianping's servant Bai Ding, who was shaking like a dead leaf in the autumn wind, and for some reason he was speechless.

Xu Jiatong and Lu's servant girl supported Xu Jiaqing vigorously, and walked behind the screen, she glanced at Bai Ding.If there is an expert to help, Bai Ding might have been hit on the Ya acupoint.

Xu Jiatong cooperated with Lu's maid, and listened to Lu's non-stop scolding Xu Jiaqing, who was still unconscious, and thought secretly. This round was supposed to catch her and Fang Rui, but Xu Jiaqing and her own brother were caught. Xu Lianping's servant.Those who plan are clever, and those who destroy the game are even more clever.

"Fifth girl, you were also raised by me. I watched you dignified and respectful on weekdays. No girl in this clan can compare to you. Look at your current appearance, your clothes are disheveled, and you hang out with the boys. Or In the days when you have to guard the pavilion, you are so unscrupulous, do you still have any sense of shame?" Lu Shi kept poking the ground with his crutches, obviously extremely disappointed.

"I didn't, Mrs. Zu, I was drugged by someone, and I don't want to." Xu Jiaqing washed her face with cold water, became a little more sober, and kept looking at Xu Jiatong with puzzled eyes.

Xu Jiatong stepped forward and turned to Lu's luggage: "Mrs. Zu, don't rush to draw conclusions. We don't know what kind of person Fifth Sister is. Now that Fifth Sister has a fever again, maybe someone really drugged her, okay?" All the food is in the mansion, and when the old lady, third uncle, and third aunt come, Madam Zu, you decide to strictly investigate, and you will be able to find out the truth."

Mrs. Lu looked sideways and asked suspiciously: "You are the fourth girl? You are clean and decent. You said that this house was originally used by you. Do you know how the fifth girl got here?"

"Back to Mrs. Zu, I actually don't understand what's going on." How Xu Jiatong got his dress wet, how he asked Bi Shui to borrow it from Xu Jiaqing, and how Dong Xue brought the dress over.

Xu Jiatong explained: "Thinking that the fifth sister is next door, if something happens, we can go to take care of it. Dongxue is not in a hurry to go back, so I said a few more words, and then I heard some movement here, and then Mrs. Zu knows everything about it."

Dongxue is Xu Jiaqing's personal servant girl, and Bai must be Xu Lianping's servant girl. If it is said that they were all under Xu Jiatong's orders, Mrs. Lu would be the first to not believe it. A poor girl who grew up in a private house wants money but has no money. How could he instigate Xu Jiaqing and Xu Lianping's cronies so easily?

Xu Jiaqing said aggrievedly: "I don't know what's going on, I just lay on the couch for a while, and when I woke up, I was here, and Bai Ding knew it."

"Mrs. Zu, please make the decision. Let Fifth Younger Sister ask a doctor to take a look. If she is drugged, she may hurt her body." Xu Jiatong said sideways.

Today's Xu Jiaqing is riding a tiger, she won't let the Lang Zhong inspect her, she can't get rid of why she is with a servant in disheveled clothes, and the culprit can't be found.But if it is checked, not only will it find out that there is this kind of medicine, but it will also find out the ecstasy medicine.If she followed the clues, sooner or later she would be found, or at least the people in her house.

Sure enough, Xu Jiaqing immediately stopped her: "No, no, there's no need to hire a doctor. I'll just wash my face and it will be fine in a while."

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Mrs. Lu said more sternly than before: "Bai must be your brother's servant, and he must recognize you. You said that he took the initiative to belittle you. Didn't he recognize you after he entered the house? I can't see Yes. If he is so daring, would he even lose his life? Tell me what's going on."

"I don't know, I really don't know." Xu Jiaqing burst into tears.

Xu Jiatong supported Mrs. Lu, and persuaded: "Mrs. Zu, don't get angry. Yesterday, the big cousin offended the old lady and was punished to face the wall and think about it. I really don't know why Bai Ding came here instead of serving there. But he doesn't care No matter what, you are just a servant of the Xu family, if you ask Master Zu, he will never dare to hide it."

Xu Jiaqing struggled and was about to come over when she stumbled and threw herself on Xu Jiatong. At this moment, she looked extremely weak and her words were weak: "This is none of my brother's business. He is still grounded now, so don't implicate him." gone."

Don't want to implicate Xu Lianping?It's not that easy. Just saying that Xu Lianping had thought about it before was to save face for him, and also for Xu Jiaqing.At this moment, Xu Jiatong saw a plea in Xu Jiaqing's eyes that could not be ignored.

Xu Jiatong turned around, helped her up and said anxiously and angrily: "What time is it, why can't you tell the priorities? The eldest cousin just owed a gambling debt and provoked the Fang family, but he wants to get along with the Fang family." When the girl is married, those things are nothing. On the contrary, it is you, your reputation is so important, the most important thing is to find out the matter and clear your innocence. "

The Lu family and Xu Jinfeng have high seniority in the clan, and they are not honorable compared with the Cao family or even the Li family.But after all, he is the head of the clan and has no power. He has the rules and knowledge he should have, and he is more upright and sticks to the rules than those with real power.

When he heard the word "gambling debt", Mrs. Lu was already displeased, and felt that there was something strange in Xu Jiatong's words, so he immediately asked, "Fifth Miss shut up, Fourth Miss, tell me, why does Lian Ping marry Miss Fang?"

Xu Jiatong showed embarrassment, and fell to his knees with a plop: "Please Mrs. Zu, please don't ask me, as long as you know that after eldest cousin marries Miss Fang, the Xu family will be safe and sound."

"This... this... the third room, when did it become such a mess?" Mrs. Lu didn't listen to her explanation, but after thinking about it for a while, she knew that something was wrong, so she walked out on crutches.

Xu Jiaqing stood up straight with the corner of the table, panting and said: "Fourth sister, you killed me, didn't you?"

"I have to ask Fifth Younger Sister herself. I didn't add any hoppers to the bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, so I returned the original." Xu Jiatong whispered in her ear.

"I didn't add that kind of medicine, I just wanted you to miss the time to guard the tower and be regarded as ominous..." Xu Jiaqing had tears in her eyes, looking very aggrieved.

Xu Jiatong smiled, knelt down and said, "Fifth Younger Sister has always been pure and kind, she must have never heard a word, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind. Today I will teach you a truth, if you have a wrong heart, don't blame others If you have a wrong heart, you have to think that if you miss it, you will bear the consequences. I can also tell you the truth, and I didn't make that medicine."

"It's impossible. No one knows about it, not even Dongxue." Xu Jiaqing cried and shook her head.

Xu Jiatong said: "Don't be afraid, the person who gave the medicine may not necessarily want to deal with you, maybe he just wants to deal with me. But your every move is under the control of this person, think about it, if one day , it is easy for him to take your life. Don't you think so?"

The jade fingers gently slid from the bridge of Xu Jiaqing's nose to the tip of her nose. These days, special grease was used to remove the thin calluses, so that the fingertips were cold and smooth, and Xu Jiaqing shivered in the deep spring.

"Come on, take the fifth girl to the back hall, and that kid who doesn't know how to live or die. I want to see, no matter how chaotic the three rooms are, can they still be lawless?" Xu Jinfeng's angry voice came from outside the door.

Lu's cane hit the young servant's knee: "Aren't you going? I really think this ancestral house is the nest of their three bedrooms. Today I will teach them what is the elder and the rules of the family. And the third master, the third Madame, and Aunt Li, call them all over."

Lu shi shouted out that there was silence all around, "Aunt Li", I haven't dared to call Li shi that way for more than ten years.So much so that after she yelled, everyone didn't realize who "Aunt Li" was at first, but they were all shocked the next moment, and hesitated to even take a step.

But the Lu family holds the power of the head of the clan, and the few managers and maids in the area, who dare to step forward to correct her?I can only go in despair.

"Things have come to this point, and it's useless to hide." Xu Jiatong and Lu's servant girls set up Xu Jiaqing from left to right, she turned her head and said to the servant girl, "Fifth Miss has me here, you go and serve the ancestors." Ma'am, the old man is most prone to accidents when he is angry."

"The fourth girl is thinking that I will trouble you here." Seeing Xu Jiaqing's weak look, the maid naturally obeyed.

Xu Jiatong asked softly: "Do you know that the man used this unclean medicine probably to lure Lord Fang here while I was in a state of insanity, and then lure a few other members of the clan when the scandal happened? The elders are here? This is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, if this is done, the first cousin will not have to marry Miss Fang."

Even if the Xu family is inferior to the Fang family in terms of wealth, they are still high-ranking, and they will not allow such things as changing relatives.When the Fang family weighs the trade-offs, they will find that marrying her can establish a relationship with Xu Xiaoxian, which will be more cost-effective, and the matter of Xu Lianping and Fang Xinniang will be settled.

Xu Jiaqing glanced at her, but didn't believe her: "Impossible, it's Bai Ding who came, not Big Brother Fang."

Xu Jiatong did not speak, stepped over the threshold, supported Xu Jiaqing and followed Lu's party.The back hall is only a small garden away from here, and we will arrive in a short while.

Xu Jinfeng sat in the first place, and Xu Xiaoxian, who had just arrived, had gloomy eyes and glared at Xu Jiatong and Xu Jiaqing fiercely.Especially when looking at Xu Jiatong, he wished he could swallow her alive.

Xu Jiatong didn't even look at her, leaving Xu Jiaqing behind, and stood a few steps aside.Mrs. Zheng just happened to rush over, she went up to meet her, and said anxiously: "Third Aunt, take a quick look at Fifth Sister, she has a fever for some reason, she was fine just now."

"Go away!" Zheng slammed her sleeve violently, pushing her away.

Xu Jiatong staggered, looked at Mrs. Lu pitifully, and stood still without speaking.

Xu Jinfeng said at this moment: "What is it? The person who spread the word must have already said it. I won't say such a shameful thing, so as not to dirty everyone's ears. Third Master and Third Madam, you have no way to teach girls. It's useless to say regretful words, just tell me how you plan to deal with this rebellious girl?"

"Our Jiaqing was wronged. Someone must have framed her. I think everyone who was close to her today will be arrested and investigated." Zheng simply looked at Xu Jiatong.

Xu Xiaoxian said coldly: "Come here, first beat Bai Ding to death, who dares to offend Miss Wu and sell her father and mother."

"Third Master, if you investigate, you will be in chaos. If you don't investigate, it will not be enough to correct the Xu family's morals. You don't have to rush to kill and sell people. I have already sent people to search, and no one can be wronged." Xu Jinfeng said vigorously and authentically.

"Master Zu, I respect you as the elder of the clan, but this is our house after all, if you want to search, you should pass me." Xu Xiaoxian said arrogantly, winked, and asked the servant to go out to report and stop him.

Xu Jinfeng sneered, and suddenly asked: "That is the second master's daughter, the fourth daughter raised by Madam Cao?"
