Chapter 15 The Big House (2)

Liuli cried and grabbed the hem of He Yuyu's clothes, and hid behind him: "My lord, I want to go home! I want my mother!" A nine-year-old child should be like this. Calm will be scared to cry.There was a mess of porridge in front of him, He Yuli wanted to enjoy the cool by the side, but Liuli would not do it, he would have to be dragged into the water no matter what.

Seeing her crying like this, He Yuli couldn't speak for a while, so she could only say: "Don't cry!" while turning to He Xiuyuan: "What are you doing just standing there?!"

He Xiuyuan had no choice but to call the long follower: "Hurry up and invite the Fourth Madam to the side hall!"

The old man is the secretary of the household department, so it is easy to plan and plan, but he is not very sophisticated in housework, and his mind has already become a mess.While facing the first layer of sons and daughters-in-law and sighing, seeing Liuli, she became angry again: "Nie Zhan! Nie Zhan! Look at how many things have happened because of you!" Pointing at her hand, trembling It has to be like sifting chaff.

Liuli looked at the crowd with tears in her eyes, and was about to disturb the situation, but at this moment she said that Cuiying had been brought here, so she called them in.

"Miss Wu came to talk to Miss Xu in the morning, as if Miss Xu took something from Miss Wu, and then the slaves came out, not knowing what happened inside..."

There are some discrepancies between Cuiying's rhetoric and what He Cunyu asked just now, and I don't know if it was instructed by others.The old man stared at Liuli, Liuli sobbed and replied: "But I never took her hairpin, I have never seen her hairpin. Everyone can testify, when did the fifth girl put a hairpin on her head?" Yan Hua is only 13 years old, and he has not reached the hairpin yet. What kind of hairpin is he wearing?

Her focus was on the word "chaizi" several times, and the old lady flicked her sleeves angrily: "chaizi, chaizi, what kind of chaizi is it!"

"The ladies are here."

At this time, after the servant finished singing loudly, Mrs. Yu outside the door led, accompanied by Aunt Su, Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Qi followed, all the way in dignifiedly.Thinking that they had heard something, each of them looked heavy, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

After watching the seats, the old man sighed weakly, and said to Mrs Yu: "You came at a good time, now your mother-in-law is ill, and you are in charge of the feeding, you are the one to settle this matter."

Mrs. Yu paused, and Fuli said: "The daughter-in-law should avoid suspicion about this matter. Don't dare to presume."

The old man said: "It's okay. You just have to break it."

Yu Shi had no choice but to agree.After pondering for a moment, Xinyan glanced at the glass, took the tea that Aunt Su handed over, and took a sip.

Liuli also glanced at Aunt Su.

Biyun got the old man's instruction, and went forward to tell Mrs. Yu the matter in detail, Mrs. Yu hummed lightly, and said down, "Just now when I entered the door, the old man asked about the hairpin, what kind of hairpin is it?" Son, why does Miss Wu not depend on others, but on you?"

Biyun said: "Miss Xu, please stand up and answer."

Liuli glanced at Yanhua, walked slowly to the middle, before she could speak, Yanhua started to look anxious, and blurted out: "It's just an ordinary hairpin!" Yu Shi gave her a glare, then looked at Liuli sharply : "Say it quickly!"

Aunt Su also stepped forward: "Miss Xu, what kind of hairpin is Madam asking you?" From the looks of it, she seemed to be more eager to know than Mrs. Yu.

This is a bit interesting, it is obviously not their own stuff, some people desperately want to hide it, but some people desperately want to know.Liuli looked at her: "Mrs. Hui and Auntie, I just haven't seen it before, so I don't know what it is. But last night when we were having dinner, the fifth girl left the table and didn't come back for a long time. It must have been at that time. It's not yet decided where to leave it. Fifth Miss, why don't you tell me where you've been?"

Yan Hua's complexion suddenly changed.

Aunt Su's brows moved slightly, and a sharp light flashed without a trace.

Liuli suddenly walked over and held her hands: "The fifth girl came to Xingshi early in the morning to inquire about the crime. Liuli was very wronged. She was angry and hurt Liuli. Liuli didn't blame others, but only herself. I beg my aunt to intercede with my wife and return my innocence. Bar!"

Aunt Su was also very stunned when she suddenly grabbed her, but then, this stunned turned into surprise and disbelief.With tears in her eyes, Liuli raised her head and smiled at her: "Please, Auntie."

Aunt Su glanced at Mrs Yu, who was humming sullenly.

Yan Hua rushed over angrily: "Why haven't you seen that hairpin! That thing is in your hands now!"

Aunt Su retracted her hands imitating the ground, and said in a low voice, "Fifth Miss, this is..."

Yan Hua tugged at Liu Li: "If you don't believe me, I'll take off her clothes right now, even if it's her skin, I'll search for it!"

Only then did Aunt Su realize that she had misunderstood, seeing that she was indeed tearing off Liuli's clothes, she hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and help Fifth Miss away!"

But Yu shouted even louder: "What's the hurry!" She stood up, walked to Liuli and Yanhua who had stopped drinking, glanced at Liuli, and said slowly: "Since the fifth girl suspects that you have stolen something, you He also said that he was wronged, so to prove your innocence, let's take it down and check it out."

When the woman outside the door heard it, she immediately came up to hold Liuli.Liuli shouted: "I'm not from your He family, why do you search me?! Is this how people from the Shangshufu set up torture halls privately!"

This forced He Yu to stand up: "Shut up!"

The old man slapped a teacup on the table: "You are a member of my He family who has entered the Buddha Hall of my He family and bowed down. How dare you speak so rudely at this moment!"

The second master and the fourth master hurriedly got up and supported him.

Liuli sneered: "It turns out that I am also a member of your family! It's so interesting. After thinking about it, people outside will say that the Minister of the Household Department and his family have nothing to do, so they take off the clothes of the girls at home and search them for fun. Are you happy to hear such rumors?"

The old man trembled all over: "You, you, you..."

"Master Shangshu!" Liuli kowtowed to the ground, interrupted his words, and said word by word: "Today I have no choice but to offend my lord. Liuli has something to say, please listen to your lord first before punishing me. Today's incident is caused by Miss Yu Wu suspects that I stole the hairpin. To prove my innocence, I can naturally follow them to search. However, as a woman, my reputation is more important than my life. If I find it today, I will be charged with the crime. If I don’t come out, I will be ridiculed for the rest of my life. Since I was a child, my grandfather taught me the virtues of women, and I must never make a mistake. If someone else says a word today, my life will be ruined. Don’t you think it’s unfair? Is it possible that the adults are desperate to protect their weaknesses?
"Your Excellency usually loves the people like a child, distinguishes right from wrong, and is well-known among the common people. The reason why Your Excellency treats me like this is because of my unclear identity. I am used to living in a poor family, and I don't want to squeeze into the circle of right and wrong. You welcome me in, and you see me in every possible way. I am weak and alone. Let alone search me today, or beat me to death. Kill me, but you have nothing to do. But after today, I beg Mr. Shangshu to set up a The document declares that I, Xu Liuli, have nothing to do with your He family, and anyone in your family, please don't harass me again!"
