The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

This was the first time that Princess Cen heard these words from her mouth. In the past, whether she was asked to manage the house or the store, she always acted fearful and timid and unable to bear any trouble. Now she seems to be a bit like a Madam Hou. .

"If you want to investigate, then go ahead and investigate."

"I will lend you Grandma Wang. If you encounter any difficulties, you can always ask her for help." Old Princess Cen said slowly.

Xue Mingyue's eyes lit up slightly: "Thank you, grandma."

It was getting late at that time, the door of the Hou Mansion was closed, but the front hall was brightly lit.

The maids and servants inside and outside the Marquis' Mansion all stood there confused and confused, lowering their heads and whispering to the people around them. From time to time, they raised their heads and glanced at the delicate and beautiful young lady sitting on the big carved chair. .

Xue Mingyue put her hands into her cloak, holding a small hand warmer in her hand.

Seeing that the conversation below was getting louder and louder, she turned her head and asked the clear-looking middle-aged man standing on the right: "Steward Zhang, are all the servants in the Hou Mansion here now?"

Butler Zhang leaned forward slightly: "As for Madam, everyone is already here."

"It's such a big pomp, but don't end up with a thief shouting to catch a thief." Bai Zhenzhen snorted disdainfully, with dissatisfaction on her face. She had just woken up and was invited here to find out what he said in front of her. murderer.

Xue Mingyue's expression remained as usual, and she took two steps forward without any hurry.

His eyes passed coldly across the different faces below, and he said: "I know you are all curious why Grandma Wang and Butler Zhang summoned you here. The reason is very simple. This afternoon I gave my grandmother The cakes delivered were sprinkled with walnut powder, causing my grandmother to become seriously ill and comatose. Now we have to find out the person behind the scenes."

"I called you here so that you can see with your own eyes what happens to those who harm the master."

Xue Mingyue's voice suddenly turned cold, and she looked at them seriously.

The maids and servants below were immediately in an uproar.

Only then did they realize that everyone from Muqingyuan was standing in the middle, which was obviously a deliberate arrangement.

The maids and servants of Muqingyuan immediately knelt in a row in silence, looking anxiously at the lavender clothes in front of them with their peripheral vision. Kneeling in the first row, a maid wearing a crimson flower-breasted jacket raised her head and took out a He looked like he had been wronged and shed tears before he said a word.

"I wonder what the slaves did wrong to make Madam so jealous?"

She behaves this way, not like a maid, but like an aunt vying for favor.

This is the first-class maid serving beside Xie Lang, Ju Wen.

Xue Mingyue looked at her carefully and said quietly: "You think I am jealous? Then you might as well explain where the banknotes found in the quilt in your room came from."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yun threw a large amount of banknotes in front of her eyes.

Ju Wen's back suddenly stiffened. She didn't expect that she would be discovered after hiding so secretly. Just when she was about to quibble, she heard Liu Yunba raise his voice and say: "Everyone's house in Mu Qing Yuan was searched by me and Sister Nuan Qing." Yes, I will never slander you!"

Nuan Qing Nuan Hong is Grandma Wang’s trusted confidant.

Xue Mingyue's eyes were sharp and she said coldly: "These banknotes are worth over a thousand taels. Your maid can only earn one tael of silver per month. Where did these banknotes come from? Why don't you explain them quickly?"

Ju Wen was startled by her eyes, and her palms were soaked with cold sweat.

His eyes subconsciously glanced at the place where Bai Zhenzhen was, and then quickly looked at the young man standing behind Butler Zhang for help. She looked so good, otherwise she would not have become a first-class maid next to Xie Lang. She was crying so hard Looking over, everyone's heart softened a bit.

As soon as the young man took half a step, he was immediately pushed back forcefully by Butler Zhang.

Liuyun snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. Then I'll tell you. You were bribed by someone, so you secretly poured walnut powder into the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Madam steamed while we were not in the kitchen. Do you think No one saw it, but it happened to be caught by the kitchen ring."

"When have I ever been in a kitchenette?!"

Juwen felt guilty despite her gaze, and immediately denied it, covering her face and sobbing: "If madam wants to send me away, I will accept it just for any reason, so why bother to frame me so carefully!"

Xue Mingyue raised her chin coldly.

Xiao Huan, who was kneeling behind, stepped forward, took out a palm-sized piece of oil paper from his arms and handed it over, lowered his head and said: "This is what I picked up behind Sister Ju Wen, and there are crushed walnuts on it. "

"Grandma is allergic to walnuts. Walnuts are not allowed in the house. Ju Wen only went out to the yard once in the afternoon."

Xue Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, turned to look at the young man behind Butler Zhang with her hands on her back, and said with a half-smile: "Should you explain the origin of the walnut powder yourself, or do you want me to order someone to take out the walnut shells that were found in your house?" ?”

The young man's face suddenly turned pale.

As soon as his legs softened, he knelt down, holding the hem of Butler Zhang's clothes tightly with his hands: "Fuck, godfather, save me, I don't know anything."

Liu Yun shouted: "Ju Wen, who ordered you to sprinkle walnuts in the pastry? Why don't you explain it quickly?!"

Ju Wen's body trembled suddenly, and she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.

They never expected that they could find so many things in such a short period of time. Now that they have both human witnesses and physical evidence, and they can't argue, the lady must be determined to sell her out. What should they do!

She looked anxiously at Bai Zhenzhen sitting in the main hall.

He quickly crawled forward two steps and shouted: "...I, cousin, cousin, you have to save me! It was you who said you wanted me to teach the madam a lesson. The madam wants to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for the old lady. It was you who told me the matter..."

"nonsense!"

Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a shout.

Bai Zhenzhen banged the table angrily, pointed at her and scolded her: "Grandma is so kind and loving, but it's too late for me to take good care of her. How could I let you do something to harm my grandma? You bite so casually, wait until your cousin comes back." I will definitely sell you to that brothel!"

The servants below were shocked and speechless.

Xue Mingyue sneered in her heart, glanced at her with the end of her eyes, looked at Ju Wen and asked: "You said it was your cousin who asked you to do this, then did she also give you these banknotes?"

Bai Zhenzhen stared at her with deep eyes, and nervously grasped the corners of the table with her hands.

Ju Wen saw her move her mouth, which looked like she was saying two words. She was shocked when she recognized it. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the sound of the door behind her opening, and someone shouted: "Master Hou is back!"

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly raised his eyes and looked over in surprise.

Xue Mingyue was slightly startled, the corners of her lips pursed in displeasure, and her heart gradually sank.

If you don’t come back early, you won’t come back later, but you’re coming back now!

If it were a little later, she would be sure to get Ju Wen to admit that Bai Zhenzhen paid her to spread the walnut powder. But when Xie Lang came back at this time, he would definitely be siding with Bai Zhenzhen, so what she did tonight would be a big deal. It's all in vain.

Xie Lang was wearing a flamboyant and dignified scarlet robe, with a jade belt tied slightly tight around his waist, which made his broad shoulders and narrow waist more flattering. His black hair was tied high behind his head with a gold crown, revealing his handsome and handsome face. Shows youthful style.

Those narrow phoenix eyes were full of anxiety, and his steps were hurried and dusty.

When Xue Mingyue raised her eyes and looked over, she happened to meet his eyes.

When their eyes met, a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling came to their hearts, and both of them were a little stunned.

Ju Wen didn't know where the strength came from, and she suddenly got up and ran towards Xie Lang, crying, sobbing and crying: "Master Marquis, save me, Master Marquis, save Ju Wen, Madam is going to sell me away..."

Xie Lang turned away with a cold face, not letting her touch a corner of his clothes.

There was a look of indifference between his brows: "Were you all just stunned like this when Madam was interrogating this slave?"

The boys were startled and immediately covered her mouth and dragged her forward.

Bai Zhenzhen happily picked up her skirt and ran over. Just when she was about to speak, she saw him looking over with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "The maid said you used your banknote to bribe her to buy walnut powder for your grandmother. What do you want?" Explained?"

For a moment, her smile suddenly froze on her face.

Xue Mingyue's eyebrows raised unexpectedly.

Ok?
