Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Bai Ruozhu's hand holding the vegetables paused, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She had already seen through it when Xiao Ning "fainted", but she just pretended to be like Xiao Ning, and it happened to be quiet for a while. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ning was really unlucky. Her stomach growled when she smelled the delicious food. She was probably scared to death, right?

Bai Ruozhu suppressed her laughter and ate quietly. She wanted to see how long Xiao Ning could keep pretending.

The meal was almost done, and the shopkeeper of Caixiuxuan, down to the waiters and embroiderers below, were all brought.

Bai Ruozhu wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "You continue to eat, I will go out to ask questions."

Lin Ping'er looked at Xiao Ning who was still "unconscious" in the yard, and asked worriedly: "Is she okay? Why hasn't she woke up for a long time?"

Bai Ruozhu laughed, "She doesn't want to wake up, of course she can't, but she won't die yet, so don't worry, mother."

Lin Ping'er understood as soon as she heard that Xiao Ning was pretending to be faint. She was still worried for a long time. She was really stupid.

Bai Ruozhu walked up to Xiao Ning and moved her fingertips slightly when no one was paying attention. Xiao Ning on the ground quickly started to twist as if she had lice on her body.

Bai Ruozhu raised the corner of her mouth slightly and took some itching powder. She didn't believe she could bear it.

She strode up to everyone in Caixiuxuan and said loudly: "The eldest young master lost the jade pendant, but Xiao Ning came here with the jade pendant and said that it was given to her by the eldest young master. You know what this means, so I hope who Tell me what you know as soon as possible, otherwise this will smear the innocence of the young master, and I can only send someone to report it to the government and let the government find out."

After saying that, she winked at the maid aside and said, "Take out the jade pendant in Xiao Ning's hand and show it to everyone."

The maid went to grab the jade pendant from Xiao Ning's hand. Xiao Ning looked a little panicked and started crying again: "The young master gave this to me, you can't take it away!"

The people in Caixiu Xuan were shocked when they saw Xiao Ning's miserable state when they entered the door. Thinking of her hanging herself a few days ago, many people started making random guesses, so Bai Ruozhu didn't beat around the bush and just laid it out. , anyway, her eldest brother didn't do anything shameful, and Xiao Ning would be embarrassed if he made trouble.

Now that everyone listened to Bai Ruozhu's words and thought of Xiao Ning hanging himself and appearing in the Bai family's yard again, they already knew what was going on. Many embroiderers showed disdain.

A good girl has to rely on someone else, or a husband. It's really shameless.

The steward of Caixiuxuan was the first to speak when he saw the jade pendant and said, "I remember that the young master was wearing this jade pendant when he came to the shop a few days ago. He asked me the next day and said that the jade pendant was missing. I said at that time You have to look for it carefully, the eldest young master said that there is no need to work hard, it is just an ordinary jade pendant."

"It wasn't stolen by Xiao Ning, right? She always said that her family was poor, and her father had to wait for her to earn money for medicine. Now she is still relying on the young master. Maybe her hands and feet are not clean." A person in Caixiu Xiu Niang, who had been staying longer, didn't like Xiao Ning's sudden appearance and immediately made sarcastic remarks.

Xiao Ning started crying again, scratching her body while crying, looking extremely funny.

"You're talking nonsense. You found fault with me when I entered Caixiu Xuan. Now you've found an opportunity to add insult to injury. Did the young lady say she wanted to find out just to let people like this slander me?" Xiao Ning asked confidently.

Hey, look, this little girl is really good at acting.

Bai Ruozhu was too lazy to look at her and said to the embroiderers: "Whoever shares a room with her, please come forward."

Caixiu Xuan has limited rooms, and six embroiderers occupy one room. After Bai Ruozhu finished speaking, five embroiderers stood up. Each of these five people were a little nervous, fearing that Xiao Ning would be implicated.

"You share a room with her. Can you notice any abnormal behavior from her on weekdays?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

None of the five people dared to speak. After a long time, one of the embroiderers said tremblingly: "She doesn't care much about the people in our house. Mainly when she comes, she always arrogantly says that she was arranged by the eldest young master, but she is the one who came with us." The relationship with Xiaoju next door is relatively good."

At the mention of Xiaoju, a younger embroiderer couldn't help but shudder. Bai Ruozhu had been observing everyone's reactions and immediately knew that the person was Xiaoju.

She walked up to Xiaoju and asked, "Xiaoju, what are you afraid of?"

Xiaoju lowered her head and looked carefully at her body that was shaking slightly. Seeing that she was too scared to speak, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Miss, Xiaoju is the daughter of an old embroiderer who has retired from the shop. She came to the shop not long ago. She is a bit young and timid. He is also very young, and he doesn’t dare to speak loudly on weekdays.”

Bai Ruozhu nodded. She knew that in order to take care of the old embroiderers who had retired, the shop also asked them to send their daughters or relatives to be embroiderers, as long as their skills were passable.

"Xiaoju, raise your head." Bai Ruozhu said to Xiaoju.

Xiaoju raised her head tremblingly, but her eyes did not dare to meet Bai Ruozhu's. She looked away like a child who had done something wrong. If this is not too courageous, it is because he is hiding something.

"Xiao Ju, are you not just timid? What did you hide for Xiao Ning? If you protect Xiao Ning, you will be kicked out of the shop. Are you going to live up to your mother's cultivation of you and the shop's care for you? Is that so?" Bai Ruozhu's tone became a little more serious at the end, and as expected, Xiao Ju shivered in fright and fell to her knees with a thud.

"Miss, Xiao Ning wanted to take that jade pendant from me, but I really didn't steal it. I really don't dare to steal the young master's things." Xiao Ju started crying as she spoke.

Xiao Ning's expression became ferocious and she shouted: "Xiao Ju, how can you frame me? It was obviously given to me by the eldest young master, and you know it, how can you help others harm me? I was so kind to you in vain!" "

Xiao Ju was timid. When Xiao Ning scolded her, she shivered even more with fear and couldn't speak clearly when she cried. Xiao Ning also wanted to rush over and hit Xiao Ju, but luckily she was stopped by the maid who was looking at her.

"Shut up, who allowed you to speak? Lamei, slap your mouth!" Bai Ruozhu shouted sternly.

Lamei couldn't speak, but it didn't prevent her from carrying out Bai Ruozhu's orders. She followed Bai Ruozhu to the capital and did things much more efficiently. So as soon as she heard Bai Ruozhu's instructions, she opened her hand and opened her bow left and right to give Xiao Ning a few blows. He had such a big mouth, and the beating made Xiao Ning scream in agony, and he didn't dare to scare Xiao Ju anymore.

Seeing how badly Xiao Ning was beaten, Xiao Ju trembled, and she didn't dare to hide it anymore. She cried and said, "I saw the eldest young master dropped the jade pendant that day. I picked it up but didn't dare to talk to the eldest young master, so I I wanted to take it to the shopkeeper, but then, Xiao Ning saw it. She said that the eldest young master had left it to her on purpose, and asked me not to make a mistake and make the eldest young master unhappy. She also said that she was the eldest young master who arranged to come in. Yes, let alone the eldest young master giving her a jade pendant, he will give her more good things in the future."
