It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 372
Hearing this, Mu Liuyun regained his spirits. According to Tang Wanxin's dowry maid, Shao Yao, Tang Wanxin should have gone out through the back door of Liao's house that night, so the woman who closed the back door that night was indeed the most problematic.

The yellow-faced woman yelled, regardless of whether she could say something later, at least she knew who was looking at the back door that day.

But she didn't show this excitement, she didn't care much, looked at the woman surnamed Chen, then at the yellow-faced woman, and asked in a confused manner: "Why is it a crime for her to guard the back door?" Is it too old? Is it stipulated by the Liao family's family rules?"

The woman surnamed Chen took a sneaky look at the yellow-faced woman, and then secretly glanced at Mu Liuyun, without saying a word.

"That's not true," the yellow-faced woman felt anxious about why Mu Liuyun was so dishonest. She probably had some trouble with the woman surnamed Chen, so she said directly at this moment, "Mrs. It was the person who guarded the back door at night on the day of the young master's wedding! He should have been there in peace, especially on that day when there were many outsiders in the family, and the person in charge of guarding the door should be more vigilant!
But what about her?Just ran to drink with other women!The well-behaved bride disappeared, so could it be that she walked out from the main entrance swaggeringly?There is no other door in the house. I think this matter has something to do with Mrs. Chen in all likelihood! "

"What do you say about this?" Mu Liuyun looked at the woman surnamed Chen who kept her eyes downcast and said nothing.

At first, Mrs. Chen thought that Mu Liuyun didn't know which one she was, but when she asked her about it, she was also taken aback. She hurriedly acted honestly, aggrieved and knelt down and said, "My lord, this old slave is wronged! Then the Li family The lady had discussed with me before that she wanted me to promise my youngest daughter to her uncle, but I saw that her uncle was not good at reading and keeping accounts, and his body was thin and weak, so he was not good at work. Rejected.

After that, the wife of the Li family held a grudge against me, looking for my little feet everywhere, trying to say something wrong about me.

The old slave has been working in the Liao family since she was a girl, serving the master's family. She has always been loyal and never had any other thoughts. Get up! "

As she said that, she still looked like she was about to cry. Master Liao couldn't bear it when he heard this in the living room, and said to Mu Liuyun behind: "Mother Chen has indeed been in my house for many years. When I was young She is now in the mansion, and she has indeed not made any major mistakes in all these years, so she should have no ulterior motives."

That Mrs. Chen was kneeling on the ground, but she was still a little nervous. After hearing what her master said, she felt relieved a lot, but she still shivered in an aggrieved manner, but secretly glanced at the yellow-faced woman. glance.

Mu Liuyun looked at Master Liao, and deeply felt that reading books does not seem to make people smarter. Some people may be full of knowledge, so let him quote the classics. He is more capable than anyone else, but when it comes to insights , it is opaque again.

This Mr. Liao is not so fancy and useless, otherwise he would not be able to pass the Jinshi exam, but he is somewhat blind in his generosity, and he seems a little blind in his blind desire to be a sage.

For example, right now, whether this Mrs. Chen is wrong or not is ultimately based on whether she left her post when she was guarding the back door at night, not whether she had worked hard in this house for many years before, or whether she had any other bad intentions.

"The grudge between you and the Li family lady has nothing to do with me, and I don't need to ask, I just ask you, did you eat the wine that night or not?" Mu Liuyun asked Mrs. Chen, and when she opened her mouth, she asked again. Sophistry, he waved her hand at her, stopped her, and glanced at the crowd again, "Which one is Mama Shen? Which one is Mama Qian? You have to be identified by others, and I can find it out by the officer?"

Upon hearing her somewhat displeased words, the two women in the crowd rushed out trembling and knelt down together.

Mu Liuyun turned to look at Yuan Jia, Yuan Jia snorted loudly, picked up the water and fire stick in his hand, and poked it heavily on the ground, making a bang, which startled everyone in the yard .

"As I said just now, even if you don't say anything, it's only a matter of five boards, but if you deliberately lie and conceal the truth, the twenty-two stick is the lightest. If I find out that you are pregnant with something else What are you thinking, it's not so cheap." Mu Liuyun opened his mouth to remind the two women kneeling below.

"Don't dare! My lord! This old slave dare not hide anything from my lord! My surname is Qian, and I have been serving at home for more than 20 years." One of them trembled and said, "The young master that day Marrying a daughter-in-law and having a happy event at home, the rest of us have been busy for a day in the back. After dark, we don’t need to go in front, and there is nothing to do in the back. Thinking that there is a happy event at home, we also want to follow along Happy...so we got together and drank a little..."

After finishing speaking, she pointed to Mama Shen beside her: "She and Mama Chen have always had a good relationship. At that time, she went to find Mama Chen!"

Shen's mother's face was pale, and she probably was afraid in her heart, and she didn't dare to quibble at the moment, she lowered her head and shivered while admitting the matter: "My lord, it was indeed the old servant who called Chen's mother to have a drink together that night. Yes, the old slave is confused, the old slave is wrong..."

However, Mu Liuyun didn't pay attention to this matter, but asked the two women: "You just said that you want to be happy, where did the wine come from?"

"Return to your lord, the wine is rewarded by the bride." Shen's mother hurriedly replied, for fear that if she was too slow, she would show that she was not sincere enough. "I thought that the girl in Chen's family was just at the time when it was time for her to marry, so I put it away. She called over to have a couple of cups together, get a taste of the joy of the master's family, don't dare to think about the good fortune of the young lady, and it would be great if she could make a husband's family she likes later!"

At this moment, Mrs. Chen didn't dare to talk about him anymore, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, "That's what happened..."

"The bride gave a lot of wine to the servants that day?" Mu Liuyun asked again, looking at the two little maids named Mu Xiang and Tiandong just now, "You two sneaked to see the bride, did she ever What did I reward you for?"

The two little maids immediately shook their heads: "I never rewarded them, we were sent away without even seeing the bride."

"Oh?" Mu Liuyun raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the two women again.
