Chapter 47 The maid rebelled
Mingyue couldn't bear the torture and soon fainted. Upon seeing this, Nanny Zhang went to ask Qin for instructions.

"Waking her up, let me continue!" Mrs. Qin transferred all her hatred for Huo Jiuge to Mingyue, so she didn't show any mercy at all.

A basin of cold water was poured down, Mingyue opened her eyes, and received several more needles. Her hands that were good at embroidery were completely destroyed. She no longer had any strength to struggle, and could only watch the needles pricking her. In the skin, even breathing involves the internal organs.

When she almost couldn't hold on anymore, Mrs. Qin said slowly: "That's enough, let her live."

Although I don’t know how Huo Jiuge saw through his plan, since Mingyue is already a member of Hexiangyuan, she will be responsible for anything that happens. She will not let her have an easy time, absolutely not!
The next day, when Huo Jiuge was sitting on the dressing table and Qiu Chan was dressing him up, the housekeeper brought Mr. Huo's instructions.

"Miss, please come with me to the main hall. I have something important to discuss with you!"

Qiu Chan, who was combing Huo Jiuge's hair, was shocked. Mingyue didn't come back all night last night. Now the master is so anxious to call his lady over, fearing that nothing will happen.

Compared with her nervousness, Huo Jiuge seemed much calmer. She said to Qiu Chan, "It's okay. You can do my makeup first."

"But Miss." Qiu Chan was still a little worried. The things they did last night could be said to have completely offended the Qin family, and Ming Yue was the one given to them by the Qin family and disappeared all night. It was hard to tell what was going on. There is no connection.

Huo Jiuge took out something from his dressing table, handed it to Qiu Chan and said, "You can take this thing to Anrentang later to find the shopkeeper there, and then take him to Huo Mansion. As for the rest, I'll take care of it myself." Method."

Her calmness somewhat eased Qiu Chan's nervousness. In order not to waste time, Qiu Chan quickly gave her a simple hairstyle. After Huo Jiuge and the housekeeper left Hexiangyuan, Qiu Chan went to Anren. Hall.

After passing through the long pavilions and pavilions, Huo Jiuge arrived at the main hall and immediately saw the bright moon that had disappeared all night. On both sides of her stood the mother and daughter of the Qin family who had been splashed with blood by her last night. , Mr. Huo stood in the middle of the crowd.

After seeing Huo Jiuge coming, Mr. Huo asked Mingyue to repeat what she just said to him.

"Sir, I was the maid next to the fifth young lady. Yesterday morning, the fifth young lady asked the autumn cicada beside her to give the sachet to the slave, and also asked the slave to find a way to get the contents into the eldest lady."

Mingyue always lowered her head very low, not daring to raise her head to look at the person in front of her, and her whole body could not stop trembling.

After hearing Mingyue's words, Huo Qingshang covered his face and cried: "I have always treated Jiuge as my sister, but I don't know how I offended you and made you hate me so much."

Huo Ren had not yet changed out of his official uniform. As soon as he heard the news here, he couldn't wait to rush over.
When Huo Qingshang saw this, he immediately cried even more miserably: "Father, it's so painful for Qingshang to be killed."

Huo Ren valued Huo Qingshang's daughter very much. After all, it was her first child, and she was so beautiful. As the most talented woman in the capital, she didn't know how much glory she had won for herself, so When he knew that his daughter had been wronged by others, he rushed over immediately.

"Huo Jiuge!" Huo Ren comforted the daughter in his arms and turned to glare at Huo Jiuge: "Qing Shang is your cousin, how dare you frame her like this? Don't you think there is no such thing in your eyes?" A trace of true sisterly affection?"

Huo Ren scolded her loudly, and threatened to teach her, an unfilial daughter, a lesson for his eldest brother!But Huo Jiuge stood motionless, her expression calm and her eyes calmly looking at the scene in front of her.

It wasn't until Huo Changqing stood up and asked Mr. Huo to kick her out that she interrupted him: "Please cousin, please don't jump to conclusions. After all, your failure to take the imperial examination can threaten grandpa, but it cannot threaten him." I."

"You!" Huo Changqing was so angry at her words that he turned red. He said those words in anger. Looking back afterwards, he felt that he was impulsive, but the words he said were like water being thrown out. He did not expect Huo Changqing to be angry. Jiu Ge actually brought up old things again, making him unable to get off the stage in public.

He turned around and said to Mr. Huo, "Grandpa, you can see what a uneducated girl she is. Not only did she commit such a wrong thing, she even refused to repent, and she asked grandpa to punish her severely!"

"When my cousin committed a crime before, you kept saying good things for her. Why are you here with me, but your family asked grandpa to punish me severely. Is this what you said about treating me as a family?" Huo Jiuge sarcastically said. He smiled, and then continued: "It's a bit ridiculous to want to convict me based on just one girl!" "Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, what else can you say to quibble?" Huo Changqing pointed. Mingyue said: "She is your maid, can what she said be false?"

Huo Jiuge glanced at Mingyue, and then ordered her to raise her head.

Mingyue didn't dare to disobey, so she could only raise her head. With this movement, the scar on her forehead was exposed. At that time, Mrs. Qin hit her with a teacup. Because she didn't dare to dodge, she hit her directly on the left side of the forehead. There is a very obvious red mark on it.

Seeing this, Huo Jiuge asked, "You were away from work all night last night. Where did you go?"

"I" Mingyue couldn't tell a reason for a long time.

Seeing that she couldn't answer this question, Huo Jiuge changed another one: "What happened to the injury on your head? Could it be that you were beaten?"

When Huo Jiuge was talking, his eyes were fixed on Qin, but as an old fox, the other party would not show off her flaws at all. She was still comforting her daughter, saying that the old man would definitely restore her innocence, and at the same time he would also Punish those who harmed her severely.Huo Qingshang looked like a weak little white flower and nodded in his mother's arms.

The two mothers and daughters just sang together and drove Huo Jiuge to death.

"The slave accidentally fell it." Mingyue said fearfully.

"Where did it fall? When did it fall?" Huo Jiuge asked her two questions in succession.

Huo Changqing on the side thought that she was stalling for time, or using her identity to force Mingyue to change her story. He said: "I advise you to plead guilty, so don't waste time!"

Huo Jiuge smiled lightly: "As the son of the censor, don't you know that interrogating witnesses is also a very important part of the actual handling of cases?"

Her sharp-tongued Huo Changqing was speechless and could only stare at Huo Jiuge fiercely, trying to force her away with his own eyes.

But Huo Jiuge continued to interrogate him nonchalantly: "You said I asked you to frame your cousin, so what is my intention in doing this?"

Mingyue didn't know what her intentions were, so she had no choice but to make up one: "Because you envy the eldest lady for being prettier than you and being loved by so many people."

Huo Jiuge laughed when he heard her reason.

"Do I let you harm others just because of envy? If I, Huo Jiuge, are really such a petty person, wouldn't all the women in the world suffer?"

"It's just a skin. No matter how good-looking it is, it can't compete with the waste of time. Why should I do such a dirty thing just for a face? The person who taught you to say this not only underestimated me, Huo Jiuge, but also underestimated this person. Women in the world! Not all women like her only pay attention to the appearance on their faces and forget about the cultivation of their hearts."

Huo Jiuge had delicate features. In the past, she looked low-brow and submissive, and she looked like a very soft-spoken person. But at some point, she changed her cowardly character, and the determination in her eyes made people dare not look directly at her.
