Chapter 180

Zhu'er's mother was cooling her clothes outside the house, she was wiping her tears while she was cooling, when she saw the second young master and second young mistress coming from a distance, the clothes in her hands fell to the ground in shock, she didn't pick them up, just picked them up. He rushed over and knelt at Leng Huating's feet: "Young Master, Second Young Master, Zhu'er is not that kind of person, you have to trust her, Zhu'er has served you since childhood, you don't know what kind of person she is , this girl is just high-spirited and has no bad intentions, please, save Zhu'er, this servant kowtows to you." Saying that, she accepted her head and bowed.

Jinniang wanted to help helplessly, but Leng Huating turned over with a glance, and she stopped in her tracks.

Leng Qian stepped forward with a few discerning steps, picked up Zhu'er's mother and threw it aside, then pushed Leng Huating forward with a blank expression.

Jinniang was about to move forward when she saw Zhu'er's mother rushing up again, knelt down in front of her, and begged again, Jinniang felt that something was wrong, she lifted her foot and turned to her body, saying: "Get up, My husband and I came to see Zhu'er, why are you standing in the way?"

While speaking, Leng Qian had already pushed Leng Huating into the room. When he was in the hallway, Leng Huating was sitting in front of the door of the back room. Zhu'er was a woman after all, so he couldn't go in again. Zhu'er's mother saw that the young master had already After entering the house, she stopped crying for Jinniang, and hurriedly followed her in, making a gesture to make tea: "Second young master, second young mistress, you are noble people, and there is nothing for slaves to entertain here. Look... some crude tea please You just make do with it." As he said that, he rubbed his hands on the ground with muddy hands.

Leng Huating frowned, and shouted: "Stay back." He didn't say much anymore, his eyes looked towards the back room, Si'er saw it and went to open the curtain very discerningly, Leng Qian was not polite, and hung the curtain directly After getting up, Jinniang bowed her head and walked in.

Zhu'er was lying on the bed with gauze wrapped around her head, her expression was sluggish, when she saw Jinniang coming in, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, she struggled to get up, and called out weakly: "Second Young Mistress!" Jinniang hurried forward Said to her: "Don't mind, you are hurt, just lie down." As he said that, he looked at the room. The room was not big, with only one window and curtains. Without light, the whole room looked like In the dark, when Jinniang entered the door, she found that the curtain hanging beside the bed was moving, she couldn't help but take a second look, and Zhu'er panicked even more when she saw it.

Jinniang understood a little bit in her heart, she simply sat by Zhu'er's bed, and without any nonsense, she took the hairpin and showed it to Zhu'er: "I found this on your bed, tell me, where did it come from?" of?"

Zhu'er's face changed when she saw the hairpin, and she wanted to hide it when she held it. Jinniang couldn't help laughing when she saw it: "Master, I have never rewarded you with such a valuable thing, and it wasn't the princess who rewarded you. Could it be...you stole it?" ?”

Zhu'er's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she said after a long while: "My maidservant's house is not in good condition, and my maidservant became interested in seeing Qian, begging young mistress..."

The corner of Jinniang's mouth was filled with a sneer: "You really know how to go uphill with a donkey. If it was really stolen, why didn't you sell it immediately, or take it home to your old lady? But put it under the pillow, not afraid of others Have you seen the report? Tell me, who sent you?"

Seeing that she couldn't get rid of it, Zhu'er turned her head to one side, snorted and said: "Didn't the masters already suspect that Zhu'er killed Ping'er? It's a death anyway, and why does the master care about such a small hairpin?" The master said that Pearl came from wherever she came from. If there are too many lice, you are not afraid of biting, so do as you like." It really looks like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, Jinniang couldn't help laughing.

"Then what about your old lady and your younger brother? Don't you care? What should they do when you die?"

Zhu'er's eyes showed sadness when she heard this, and tears gradually filled her eyes, "So what if the slaves don't want to die, will the masters let the slaves go? What the slaves say, but the masters don't believe it, what should I do? What I have done has nothing to do with my family, I just ask the young mistress to forgive them for the sake of watching Zhu Er serve the young master for many years."

Fortunately, if you know that you care about your family, then there is a way, Jin Niang raised her mouth slightly, glanced at the motionless hanging curtain, and said: "Who said that I don't believe you, now I came here to ask you, you yourself I don’t want to say, this hairpin... Actually, if you don’t tell me, I can find out the source. There are not many jewelry shops in Beijing that can make such high-quality goods... If you are willing to tell the truth and you haven’t made a big mistake, Naturally, your family will not be affected, but if you are charged with murder now, tell me, can your family be accommodated in the mansion?"

After hearing this, Zhu'er hesitated, hesitated to speak, and felt very embarrassed about what to say, so Jinniang waited quietly, looking into her eyes seriously, and after a long while, she took the bag from Zhu'er's hand again. Hairpin, said: "If it is for someone who is not sincere to you, in that case, even if you die, it is not worth it."

Zhu'er was startled when she heard that, her eyes widened, and she said in panic, "Young mistress... how do you know?"

Jinniang was just deceiving her, seeing that she had guessed right, she said: "The only ones who can get such good things in the mansion, except for the masters, are those who are in the back room, right?"

Zhu'er was so startled that her mouth opened, and after a long while, she glanced at the back of the curtain, Jinniang finally smiled, and said to the back of the curtain, "Isn't it smelly to hide behind that? Come out." (In ancient times, a cloth curtain was hung on the side of the bed, behind which there were usually some sundries, mainly toilets and the like.)
Zhu'er's face was ashen when she heard this, and she murmured: "Young Mistress... don't blame Brother Mingyan, we just..." The voice faded away, and a person came out from behind the hanging curtain. Yan lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, looking very honest and kind. Jinniang stood up with a smile, but Si'er walked up to Jinniang with insight to block him. Although Mingyan was a servant in the mansion, After all, he is a young man, Si'er is afraid that Mingyan will bump into Jinniang.

"It really is you. Did you come to see Zhu'er, or to make a confession?" Jinniang asked with a smile.

Ming Yan still lowered her head, and slowly approached from the hanging curtain, "Slave... just likes Zhu Er, and has never done anything criminal, please young mistress to investigate clearly."

This is reasonable, Zhu'er is beautiful, Mingyan is handsome, and it is possible for the two to have an affair, that's why Mingyan gave the precious hairpin to Zhu'er...
