The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 59 I Can Testify

"Mother Li!" Lin Xirong suddenly exclaimed, and then thought of something, her face suddenly turned pale.

"That's the... slave in my mother's yard." She said in a barely audible tone.

Old Mrs. Lin nodded and said, "I remember she was a high-class servant girl, right? She often came to pay her respects by your mother's side. Butler Zhao, send someone to find Li Nanny."

"Yes! Grandpa!" Butler Zhao responded quickly.

"Remember, don't make any mistakes again." Mrs. Lin warned in a deep voice.

Steward Zhao's expression froze, then he nodded and retreated.

The house fell silent in an instant.

"Grandpa, if there is no maidservant to do anything, the maidservant will take Lan'er and leave first?" Madam Xu raised her head tentatively, and said with a cautious glance at Old Master Lin.

"You're not in a hurry." Li Yu said with a sneer, "Mother Xu, do you think I don't know? Two days ago, someone spent a lot of money to bribe the gatekeeper of Duke Ding's mansion, and got my palace and The news of when Murong will leave the house. That person seems to be you, right? Seeing Bengong come to the door today, you are not surprised at all?"

Mother Xu was taken aback when she heard the words, she quickly shook her head and denied, "Your Highness! It's nothing! Even if you lend your courage to this servant, this servant doesn't dare to speculate on your whereabouts at will!"

"Do you want me to call the gatekeeper of Duke Ding's mansion to confront you?" Li Yu said coldly.

Seeing his cold face, Mother Xu was so frightened that she couldn't speak a word.The strength in his whole body seemed to be sucked away, and he fell limp on the ground.

But Li Yu still refused to let her go.

"And your daughter Xu Lan, I saw her three times when I came to the Lin residence. Is this a coincidence or God's will? I don't know if Mrs. Lin knows about this?" Li Yu said slowly, looking at Lin Mammy's face paled inch by inch, and there was a trace of joy on his face: "You seem innocent about what happened today, but in fact you know everything about it!"

"It's not like this!" Mother Lin shouted in despair.

Li Yu glanced at her with a sneer, and slowly said: "Don't deny it in a hurry, you will know what to say when the punishment starts."

When Mother Xu heard this, a trace of panic suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She glanced at Mrs. Lin, hoping that he would stop him.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin was indifferent after hearing this.

Nanny Xu suddenly despaired.

"Hey..." At this time, Xu Lan, who had been kneeling beside her without opening her mouth, suddenly began to cry. While crying, she suddenly raised her tearful face, looked straight at Li Yu and said: "Your Highness, you actually remember meeting the servant girl! If, if today's incident hadn't happened, would Your Highness have looked at the servant girl more?"

Li Yu really didn't expect that after he saw such an unsightly scene, Xu Lan could actually say such words to himself!
Simply shameless!
"I remember you because I hate you!" Li Yu turned her head, not even wanting to look at her: "There are so many maids in the Lin family, but no one dares to seduce me. You are the first One! If I didn't have something to ask you at this moment, I would have ordered the staff to kill you long ago!"

"I knew..." Xu Lan's voice was full of sadness.

Ye Zhaoqing looked up, and suddenly realized that Xu Lan was still a pretty girl, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and a slender figure, what a pity.

"What are you looking at!" Xu Lan suddenly turned her head and glared at Ye Zhaoqing viciously, cursing: "The person lying in the pavilion should be you! It's you! If I didn't fall into your path unfortunately, how could it be?" in this way!"

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Ye Zhaoqing was puzzled and said, "I've been staying in Shangliyuan all this time, and I don't even know what happened..."

Old Master Lin also said: "Zhaoqing has been playing chess with me here all the time, this old man can testify."

Ye Zhaoqing smiled very warmly and sincerely: "Xu Lan, I understand your desire to excuse yourself. After all, everyone will be confused when encountering such a thing. I don't blame you for talking nonsense."

Xu Lan looked at her appearance of thinking of herself in every word, and she was almost so angry that her internal organs were bleeding. She finally saw what it meant to open her eyes and tell nonsense, and what it meant to be vicious in her heart and put honey on her mouth!
This Miss Ye is indeed very resourceful!It was she who was blind in the past!
But what can she do?Even Mrs. Lin chose to believe in Ye Zhaoqing, who would believe her words?
"Old master! What the servant said is true!" Xu Lan suddenly yelled frantically: "It was Miss Ye who knocked the servant unconscious and took the servant to Xianglan Water Pavilion. When the servant woke up, he was beaten by the young master... It's the servant girl plotted by Miss Ye!"

She was only halfway through when the old man raised his hand and said to Steward Zhao, "Are you a dead person? Let this lowly maid talk nonsense?"

Housekeeper Zhao immediately stepped forward, grabbed a lock of Xu Lan's hair, and slapped her a dozen times across the face.

"Old master! What the servant said is true! All this is designed by Miss Ye..." Even though her face was beaten into a pig's head, Xu Lan still ignored everything and shouted hysterically: "I beg the old lady to be your slave!" Make the decision!"

"What did she do to frame you as a lowly servant girl? What's the benefit?" Li Yu snorted coldly and said, "You shouldn't make such an excuse if you want to die. Don't worry, after the matter is found out, if you, a lowly servant girl, lie, This palace will definitely make your life worse than death!"

Xu Lan raised her head, looked at Li Yu's bloodthirsty cold eyes, and shivered all over her body.

Mrs. Lin didn't mean to protect Xu Lan at all. He didn't stop Li Yu's behavior. He nodded and said, "Xu Lan, don't gossip about others! Originally, I thought you were a victim, so I wanted to spare you. , but from what you said just now, you are clearly involved in the framing of Miss Ye just like your mother, Madam Xu, so hurry up and tell the truth!"

"Grandma, the slaves are wronged!" Xu Lan was still teary, but it was a pity that none of the people present believed her.

Steward Zhao took a step forward and respectfully said: "Old Master, as a slave, if torture is not used, their mother and daughter may not confess."

"Extorting a confession by torture? It doesn't mean much at all." Mrs. Lin shook her head when she heard the words and said, "If it gets out, I'm afraid it won't be convincing! Since I promised the Ye family girl to give her justice, then it must be given in a dignified way! "

"The old man is wise, it's the servant who wants to make a mistake." Butler Zhao said in a low voice.

But at this time, Murong Jin suddenly said: "It's true, but it depends on the situation. Mrs. Lin, these two servants are clearly relying on someone behind them who would rather die than admit it. If they continue to interrogate so gently I'm afraid that even if the interrogation reaches the year of the monkey, there will be no result!"

"Then, according to Murong, what should you do?" Old Master Lin stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, turned his head to look at Butler Zhao, and said, "Are you really going to do what the butler says?"
