Yijia Yishi

Chapter 37 Interrogation
When Aunt An heard Huan'er's words, she stared like frost on her face and said, "You mean that Li Siniang used to be from the West Mansion?"

Huan'er nodded yes, and replied: "Did you forget? Once the third wife sent someone to bring a plate of red bean paste buns to our old lady, and our old lady ate it very much. The cook who made the red bean paste buns was brought over, and that cook is Li Siniang."

Aunt An's face was gloomy, she smiled coldly, and said bitterly: "I have some memories of this matter, but I forgot about it for a while..." After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, took a long breath and said: "Tonight Call me Xiu'er, and keep an eye on Miss San."

The corner of Huan'er's mouth raised, and she happily left.

Aunt An turned her head and sat on the couch, called Xing'er to come in again, and ordered: "Check this matter thoroughly for me, and...be sure to keep it from Miss Seven, don't let Miss Seven hear about it."

…………

The third wife, Mrs. Pei, also heard the rumors. At this moment, Mrs. Pei was trembling with righteousness, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, there are people who say bad things about our Qing'er. They really have grown tongues, and we can't control each of them." gone."

Standing in front of her was Yulan, her confidant maid, and Yulan slowly replied: "The slave has already checked, probably this word was passed on by Xiu'er, the maid next to Miss San." She raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly: "I really didn't expect San Miss will be so vicious, she wants to ruin the reputation of our Sixth Miss..."

"Stupid thing, do you think that girl Lu Shuyi did this?" Disgust flashed in Pei's eyes, and the coldness of the corners of his lips bloomed, and he said resentfully: "That Xiu'er was just planted by Aunt An. It's just an eyeliner by Lu Shuyi's side, if Xiu'er spreads it this time, it must be caused by that bitch An Huiru. She wants to put the blame on Lu Shuyi so that she can get clean."

"But ma'am, these gossips have something to do with Miss Seven!" Yulan frowned, her voice was a little hesitant: "Aunt An will not involve her own daughter in it!"

Mrs. Pei was stunned for a moment, but she didn't say a word for a moment, she only frowned, and asked Yulan again: "Are you sure it was Xiu'er who spread the word?"

Yulan nodded affirmatively: "The servant has checked several people, and they all said that this matter has something to do with Xiu'er."

Pei's eyes moved slightly, he pursed his lips and remained silent, before saying for a while: "I'm going to Lanyue Pavilion, and prepare some desserts for me."

Yulan replied yes, and turned to prepare things.

In Lanyue Pavilion, Lu Shuyi was sitting on the couch picking out the impatiens that Huan'er picked.She knew in her heart that Huan'er must have gone to Aunt An's place this trip, and she believed that Aunt An should have heard those rumors by now, and her attitude towards Xiu'er was not as good as before!
The third wife is probably coming soon.

She exhaled lightly, looked at the blood-red impatiens on the plate, smiled and said to Xiu'er who was waiting on the side: "It's a pity that such a beautiful flower will be crushed soon. !"

Xiu'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Third Miss is really sentimental. It was originally used to dye nails. What's the pity? It's a failure. It's a pity that no one cares about it!"

"That's right." Lu Shuyi chuckled, took a deep look at Xiu'er, and said nothing.

When Mrs. Pei came, Lu Shuyi was watching Mo Ju pounding impatiens on the table.

Lu Shuyi thought, she came quickly.But this face is too ugly!It seems that there is an atmosphere.

Lu Shuyi just pretended not to see, and asked Mo Ju to make tea respectfully.

Mrs. Pei didn't care to drink tea, she said a few words of politeness, then turned away, took her hand and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Yi'er, I have something to ask you."

Lu Shuyi's face was one-third surprised and seven-point hesitant: "Third Aunt, what do you want to ask me? If I know, I will tell you everything."

She had a sincere face, seeing that Pei's heart, which was about to question, suddenly softened a little.

Although Lu Shuyi is domineering on weekdays, she always does things aboveboard and never stabs a knife in the back. Does this really have something to do with her?

Mrs. Pei hesitated a little, but lowered her voice, and said seriously: "Yi'er, did you tell people to spread the rumors about your sixth younger sister in the house?"

Lu Shuyi was shocked for a long time, and looked at Pei innocently with wide eyes: "Rumor? What rumor?"

Seeing that the expression on her face didn't look like she was pretending, Mrs. Pei couldn't help thinking to herself, could this really have nothing to do with her?

But Xiu'er is hers after all, and she has slandered two people this time!If she only slandered her daughter, it must be Aunt An's doing.But this time, Aunt An's daughter was also the target of the slander, and she was deeply affected by it, so it was difficult for her not to doubt Lu Shuyi.

"Third Aunt, what's going on?" Lu Shuyi looked stunned, hugged Pei's arm and said, "I've been busy since yesterday. You know, what happened to my mother last night Big thing, I didn't sleep well all night..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Pei was also afraid of making Lu Shuyi anxious, so she could only tell Lu Shuyi about her suspicion of Xiu'er.

"You don't know, those rumors outside can really piss people off." She gritted her teeth, showing a very disgusted expression on her face: "I checked and checked, and it was said by Xiu'er beside you..."

Lu Shuyi didn't wait for Mrs. Pei to finish, she just raised her eyebrows and interrupted: "Third Aunt suspects that I let Xiu'er spread the word?" She fixed her eyes on Mrs. Pei's face, raised her hand and said word by word: "Third Aunt doesn't need to doubt me, I just swear a poisonous oath. If I ordered Xiu'er to do this, I would have been punished by the heavens, and I would have been struck by thunder and a terrible death..."

"You girl..." Mrs. Pei hastily raised her hand to cover Lu Shuyi's mouth, glared at her and said, "I just said that, and you just swear, it's like me, an elder, bullying you gone."

Lu Shuyi's eyes were red, and her voice was choked up, like a child who has been wronged enough: "I want to let my third aunt know that I have not colluded with Xiu'er." She raised her face and said in a harsh tone: "Since it was Xiu'er who spread the word, I'll ask her to come in, and you can ask her well. Whether it's dead or alive, you can just let it go."

After she finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and called out: "Xiu'er".

Xiu'er stood at the door, and was startled when she heard this cold voice.I thought, what's the matter?Why are you suddenly angry?

Huan'er glanced at her, feeling a little complacent in the end, she curled her lips and said, "Hurry up and go in, maybe there will be rewards!"

Xiu'er ignored her and walked in with her eyebrows lowered.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the inner room, Lu Shuyi stopped her: "You dog slave, kneel down for me."

Xiu'er was shocked, she was covered in cold sweat, her legs became weak and she knelt on the ground.

Lu Shuyi didn't talk nonsense to her, she raised her voice and asked, "I'm asking you, are you spreading the nonsense outside?"
