Concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion: Abandoned concubine is not easy to mess with

Chapter 24 Framed?bring it on! (2)

"Old lady, when the servant came in, the Buddha statue was placed on the altar intact, but the position was wrong, so the servant was going to put the Buddha statue upright, but it broke as soon as it touched the Buddha statue. Because the light in the Buddhist hall was dim, the servant When she came in, she didn't see that the Buddha statue was broken, so the servant guessed that the blood must have been left by the person who smashed the Jade Buddha. She smashed the Jade Buddha, and then assembled the Buddha statue, but was accidentally scratched by the jade piece. Ganfu looked at the bloodstain thoughtfully, then spread her hand and looked at the people present, "Look, my hand is not injured!"

"That's right, miss, Miss Six doesn't have any wounds on her hands. If she really smashed the Buddha statue, there will definitely be wounds left, and the wounds can't heal in such a short time!" Mother Kang carefully rubbed Ganfu's hands. On inspection, there were indeed no wounds.She knew from the very beginning that there was something wrong with this matter. Based on her understanding of Miss Six, she would not accidentally smash the Buddha statue. You shouldn't have spoken.

"Well, that's right, but she didn't smash the Buddha statue, who else would it be?" Mrs. Gan already believed in Gan Fu somewhat, and the blood on the pieces of the Jade Buddha was the best proof.

"Old lady, although only you, Mother Kang, and the servants have the key to the Buddhist hall, there is no guarantee that the servants in the Qingxin hall will steal our key and make a new one, so now we just need to see who has the key. You can know who broke the Buddha statue!" Ganfu calmly analyzed what happened, and then looked at the crowd, "Let all the servants of Qingxin Hall come out and inspect it!"

"Okay!" Mrs. Gan just wanted to find out who broke the Buddha statue so as to give an explanation to the Bodhisattva, so she walked out of the Buddhist hall first.

Everyone followed and walked out of the Buddhist hall, and soon, all the servants in Qingxin Hall gathered in the hall.At this time, the eldest lady suddenly came with the third aunt.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law heard about the smashing of the Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall, so she came here immediately!" The eldest lady looked anxious, as if she really cared.Behind her is a weak and beautiful middle-aged woman, who is much more beautiful than the eldest lady. The most attractive thing is that there is always a mist in her eyes, and she seems to have a thousand words to say, making it easy for people to want to protect she.Such a woman is not the most beautiful, but it is the most tempting for a man.She was wearing a tribute satin jacket with ermine fur on the neckline and cuffs. Her thick black hair was pulled into a simple pony bun, and a jade hairpin was inserted obliquely. Except for that, she didn't have any accessories.But Ganfu knew that only the jasper hairpin was a priceless treasure.

Although the Gan family is now among the nobility, they are upstarts and do not have much background. Therefore, whether they are old ladies or servants, they try to wear gold and silver as much as possible to show their nobility. As everyone knows, real nobility is not just gold and jade. But simple luxury.In this family, the only one who can easily take out a priceless treasure is Lin Mei, the third aunt who comes from a century-old family and the richest man in the Lin family in central Beijing.

"Old lady, although the Buddha statue is important, your body is the most important. Don't let your body get angry!" Lin Mei approached with lotus steps, approached the old lady, and stretched out her tender white and slender jade eyes. Caressing Mrs. Gan's back with her hand, her face was full of concern.

"Meier came just in time. These slaves are obviously members of the Gan family, but they don't want to reimburse the Gan family's great kindness all day long. They only think about how to harm the Gan family. If I find out who deliberately If the Buddha statue is broken, I will definitely kill her!" Mrs. Gan pointed at the servants standing in the hall, her hands trembling with anger, but from the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the eldest lady who had just entered.

The eldest lady could hear that the old lady was accusing herself of not managing the family strictly, so she pointed to the numerous servants and said righteously: "What mother said is that the Gan family has a large population, and these servants should indeed be cleaned up. Those girls who are old enough to match up with servants should be matched, those who should be released should be released, those who are old and useless should be dismissed, those who are born in the family should be sent to Zhuangzi, so as not to give birth What's the matter!"

"Miss, let's find out who broke the Buddha statue first!" Mama Kang reminded when she saw Mrs. Da Furen come by coincidence and didn't know what she meant.

"Yes, Xiao Qiao, go check it out!" Mrs. Gan saw that the old lady was pretending to be stupid, and she even brought her idea to Qingxintang.

"Yes!" Mother Kang received the order and immediately began to inspect the servants in the hall.

"Mother, didn't you say that Ganfu broke the Buddha statue? Why didn't you punish her, but check these servants?" The eldest lady looked at Mrs. Gan suspiciously, and glanced at Ganfu out of the corner of her eye, seeing that she was not panicked at all. , I couldn't help being surprised.It stands to reason that Mrs. Gan would be furious if she knew that it was Ganfu who broke the Buddha statue, but why would she investigate other people now?

"Liu girl was wronged, and someone else smashed the Buddha statue!" Although Mrs. Gan has lived in seclusion for so many years and hardly cares about world affairs, she was able to support the Gan family as a widowed mother, keep Gan Lu, Being the winner in backyard fights is all too common for these kinds of framing.At first she was indeed very angry, but then she gradually realized that something was wrong, especially the blood stains on the fragments of the Buddha statue, which would not appear for no reason, so at this time, she almost decided that this matter had nothing to do with Ganfu.The eldest lady is so eager to hope that something will happen to Ganfu, it seems that this incident is mostly related to her.Hmph, if you dare to move your mind in her pure heart, she will definitely let her know that she regrets it.

"Lvqiao, take out your hand!" Mother Kang stared at Luqiao who was cowering in front of her, and her tone was a bit harsh, because she was with Mrs. Gan all the year round, and she exuded a sense of majesty.

Luqiao lowered her head, trembling because of her panic, and put her hands behind her back. When Mama Kang yelled at her, she flinched and shook her head, "No, Mama Kang, I didn't break the Buddha statue. The wound on my hand was caused by accidentally breaking the vase!" Lu Qiao took out her right hand in a panic, and there was a wound on the thumb of her right hand.

"Oh? What a coincidence?" Kang's mother understood, and deliberately released the pressure, "Luqiao, you said that the wound on your hand was scratched by a vase, but can someone prove it, which vase was broken and where is the fragment?"

Lu Qiao couldn't help nodding, and suddenly shook her head again, "It is true that my hand was scratched by the vase, no one saw it, but I have already thrown the fragments into the lake, I will go and fish them up now!"

"Bottom of the lake? Luqiao, there are tens of thousands of fragments of vases at the bottom of the lake. Your statement is too far-fetched!" Ganfu walked slowly to Luqiao. She had noticed Luqiao just now. Luqiao used to serve Mrs. Gan. Yes, before her, it was Lu Qiao who was responsible for cleaning the Buddhist hall.After she cleaned the Buddhist hall, Lu Qiao was in charge of the tea room. The Buddhist hall was so far away from the tea room. Early in the morning, she didn't believe that Lu Qiao passed by there unintentionally. There was only one possibility, that Lu Qiao had already been waiting there.Moreover, Luqiao had cleaned the Buddhist hall before, and she probably assigned the keys herself, so Luqiao was the most suspected.

"I really scratched my hand when I accidentally broke the vase!" Luqiao was frightened by Ganfu's eyes. For some reason, she felt that Miss Six was terrible, but her eyes, which were so gentle as water, were full of tears. The breath of death seems to be a ghost crawling out of hell.Especially the way she looks at her now, as if she has seen through everything, and she knows everything she has done.

"Luqiao, you used to clean the Buddhist hall, and you were also in charge of the key of the Buddhist hall. There will be no blood stains on the jade Buddha fragments for no reason. It must be left by the person who smashed the Buddha statue, am I right? It can be guessed that you broke the Buddha statue!" Ganfu approached Luqiao step by step, with a sneer on her lips, a kind of clarity in her eyes, and a strong chill emanating from her whole body.

Luqiao didn't expect Ganfu to see through everything. Although she didn't leave any evidence, the injury on her hand couldn't be covered up.She clearly remembered that she didn't scratch her hand, but how could there be blood on the fragment? "Miss Six, I don't have one!"

"No? Then let me ask you, you are in the tea room now, there was an accident in the Buddhist hall in the morning, why were you the first one to appear at the entrance of the Buddhist hall, early in the morning, why are you waiting at the entrance of the Buddhist hall when you have nothing to do?" Gan Fu gradually Approaching Luqiao, the black eyes stared at Luqiao, making Luqiao inevitable.

"I, I just passed by there and heard something fell on the ground inside, so I went to have a look!" Lu Qiao has been a slave in Gan Mansion for many years, although she was a little flustered just now, she quickly calmed down After coming down, she straightened her back and looked directly at Gan Fu, "Miss Six, this servant clearly saw you smash the Buddha statue with your own eyes, but now you want to plant it on this servant! Although this servant is humble, she has served the old lady for so many years. There is no proof, You can't just wrong me!"

"Ganfu, Luqiao said that she saw you smash the Buddha statue with her own eyes, so can you prove it?" The lady suddenly intervened, condensing Ganfu.

"Ma'am, only those who have really touched a Buddha statue will stain it with blood. I don't have any wounds on my hands, which is enough to show that I have never touched a Buddha statue at all!" Madam joined forces to kill her, but these two people are doomed to fail today.

"It's not good, the Buddhist hall is on fire!" At this moment, several servants standing outside suddenly shouted, and everyone followed the shout, and sure enough, thick smoke rose from the direction of the Buddhist hall opposite the hall, faintly Flames can be seen.

"Ah?" Everyone exclaimed, especially Mrs. Gan's legs were so frightened that her legs gave way. Fortunately, Mother Kang supported her so she didn't fall down.

When Kang's mother saw the fire, she was almost in a daze, and then she burst into anger, "What are you doing in a daze, go and put out the fire!"

"Yes!" All the servants rushed out of the hall at once, and the old lady walked towards the Buddhist hall with the support of Mother Kang, her steps were hurried and her face was anxious.The eldest lady and the third aunt also led their maidservants towards the Buddhist hall.But Da Furen's eyes revealed a bit of certainty.

When we arrived at the Buddhist hall, the fire inside had been extinguished. Although the fire was not big, the inside was already in a mess.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Gan believes in Buddhism, so in her opinion, everything that happened in the Buddhist hall is the will of the Buddha. At this time, she knelt on the wet ground outside the Buddhist hall and kowtowed, "Bodhisattva calm down." , Bodhisattva calm down!"

"Qi Madam, the fire started because the brocade curtain on the altar caught fire inexplicably, but why the brocade curtain caught fire is not yet known!" A middle-aged man came over at this time and reported to Mrs. Gan.

"Okay, how could it be on fire?" Third Auntie stared at Mrs. Gan suspiciously, "Old Madam, don't worry, maybe the wind blew the fire in the long-burning lamp, which caused the fire. Home, Bodhisattva will definitely bless us!"

"It stands to reason that it would not be possible. In order to prevent fires, the ever-burning lamp was far away from the brocade curtain on the shrine, and there was no wind just now. Therefore, it is very likely that the Buddha statue was destroyed, and we did not find out the real culprit, so the Bodhisattva was furious. Yes! Mother, I think we should quickly find the murderer and give the Bodhisattva an explanation!" The eldest lady is happy to see this result, after all, Ganfu is the most suspicious.She specially designed all of this, if she can't put this little girl to death, it will be a waste of all her years of experience in the back house.

The old lady raised her head and stood up with the support of Mother Kang.She was too angry and anxious just now, but now she gradually calmed down, and she also felt that something was wrong, after all, the fire was burning too strangely. "Come on, pull the two of them down for me to hit fifty big boards!"

"No, old lady, I was wronged, I really was wronged!" When Lu Qiao heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.Fifty boards, this is equivalent to a death sentence.

But Gamf stood there motionless.

"Pull it down!" Kang's mother also understood that the old lady did this because she was not going to let the real culprit go, but because she couldn't find the real culprit for a while, she killed the two together, so she waved to the servants on one side.

The four servants immediately went forward to pull Ganfu and Luqiao.
