"The clothes are luxurious and inlaid with many gems. They can't be washed with ordinary soap. My granddaughter spent a lot of money to buy a potion from the Western Regions called Color Treasure Agent. Clothes washed with Color Treasure Agent will become brighter and brighter, and gems and other items will also be more dazzling."

Xu Xingyin calmly stepped forward and held up a ruby-red box to show everyone as he spoke. From the outside, it looked like the box was definitely not a Dayan product.

"But the color treasure agent also has a disadvantage. If you touch it with your hands before it dries, the touched part will itch unbearably, and eventually fester and pus will flow. Therefore, when I bought it, the store owner reminded me many times that I must wear sheep gut gloves when washing, otherwise... I will not care about the medicine."

As Xu Xingyin spoke, he silently observed everyone's reactions.

Most people's attention was focused on the box of colored treasure agent, only one person subconsciously looked at his clenched hands after hearing these words.

Xu Wanjie.

To be honest, when Xu Xingyin realized that the person who cut the clothes into pieces might be Xu Wanjie, he felt angry and amused.

What made Xu Wanjie angry was that she provoked him again and again, but what made her laugh was that Xu Wanjie thought she was smart but was provoked many times.

Xu Wanfeng gradually came to her senses, "So what you mean is that as long as we wait for that person's skin to ulcerate, we will know who cut up the clothes?"

"You don't have to wait that long."

Xu Xingyin said, nodding slightly. Dangui, wearing sheep-like gloves, brought a basin of water into the house. "The color treasure potion is reddish. Once you touch it and then touch hot water, your skin will appear red. Whether it is true or not, won't you know after soaking in hot water?"

Xu Xiuzhu was a person who always sought benefits and avoided harm. Naturally, he was concerned about the matter involving the lives of his entire family. He cleared his throat and made the final decision.

"In that case, please jump into the water and give it a try. I will also ask the butler to check all the servants in the mansion one by one. Please."

Xu Xingyin was the first to put his hand into the hot water, followed by Xu Wanlin and Xu Wanyan. Seeing this, the others also soaked in the hot water to prove their innocence.

In such a huge Duke's Mansion, there were actually not many proper masters, and their turns soon came. Only Xu Wanjie was still hiding in the corner and was reluctant to come forward.

Seeing Xu Xingyin's eyes fall on Xu Wanjie, Xu Wanlin understood something in her heart. She stepped forward and took Xu Wanjie's arm affectionately with a smile on her lips.

"Why hasn't Sixth Sister come yet?"

Xu Wanjie was probably frightened by what Xu Xingyin had just said. When she saw Xu Wanlin trying to drag her to take a hot bath, she pushed Xu Wanlin away and turned around and ran out.

When the palace investigates such a family scandal, there must be heavy guards outside the house.

Just now, Xu Wanjie was escorted back by two strong old women as soon as she went out.

When everyone saw Xu Wanjie like this, how could they not understand?

Old Madam Xu had not expected that the person who would be exiled to the farm the next day would create such a big obstacle for his family before leaving. She pointed at Xu Wanjie and ordered Dangui.

"What are you still standing there for? Make her some hot water!"

Dangui came forward with hot water, grabbed Xu Wanjie's hand and pressed it into the water. When she stood up again, her skin was indeed a seductive red.

After soaking in the hot water, perhaps because of the effect of the colored treasure agent, Xu Wanjie fell to the ground and scratched her hands.

Which girl in the boudoir doesn’t care about her appearance?

Seeing Xu Wanjie like this, they were frightened and retreated away.

Xu Xiuzhu was furious and slapped Xu Wanjie hard on the face.

"For so many years, the Duke's Mansion has fed you with good food and drink. How could we ever be sorry for you? Now you almost made us bear the sin of blaspheming the emperor's grace. If you are punished to go to Zhuangzi to repent, do you want your whole family to be buried with you?"

"I don't!"

Xu Wanjie held her hands and trembled slightly, crying at the top of her lungs.

"I didn't know it was a gift from the emperor. I was just jealous of Xu Xingyin and cut the clothes into pieces."

"envy?"

"Yes! Why does Xu Xingyin do this? We are both daughters of the Duke's Mansion, why does she always suppress me in everything! If she didn't go back to Beijing, my mother and brother wouldn't be so cold to me! If she didn't go back to Beijing, I wouldn't be driven to the farm! If she didn't go back to Beijing, I wouldn't end up with skin ulcers! Why can she have such luxurious clothes, while I can only stay on the farm with a group of ignorant peasant women! I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"

Xu Wanjie's words made everyone's eyes fall on Xu Xingyin.

Everyone thought she would show anger of being hurt, or look pitiful and about to cry, but Xu Xingyin's reaction was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

She looked at Xu Wanjie very calmly and smiled slightly.

It felt like...Xu Wanjie was just a joke in her eyes.

"Since I came back home, I have never provoked anyone, including my sixth sister. We are all relatives of our mother and brother. Is it natural that their care and love can only be given to you, and it would be biased if they give it to me?

Your grandmother decided that you should go to the farm to reflect on your sins, but the reason was because you pushed me into the pond and almost killed me. Have I ever said anything untrue about this matter? Your future is important, but my life is not?

This is because you have evil thoughts in your heart. I didn't force you to cut the clothes, and the color treasure agent was not created to harm you. Sixth sister didn't ask herself, but blamed me.

I guess you didn't understand the story I told you last time, so I'll explain it more clearly today. You're like Zhu Bajie, you're good at putting the blame on someone else, and I can't even begin to catch up with you.

The servants on the farm earn their livings without stealing or robbing, but Sixth Sister has been kept in seclusion and has she ever earned a penny? Compared with this, why do you look down on them?

Finally, as a younger sister, I want to give some advice to my sixth sister. No matter how gorgeous the clothes are, they cannot hide an ugly and twisted heart. Those who do too much evil will eventually perish. I hope my sixth sister will take care of herself. "

Xu Xingyin's words left Xu Wanjie with no room for rebuttal, and the others present were just watching a good show.

Even Xu Xiuzhu, who had always disliked Xu Xingyin, had to admit that Xu Xingyin was the smartest and most polite among the girls. Her eloquence did not seem like that of a girl raised in a military general's mansion, but rather had some of the character of an upright and remonstrant official in the Censorate.

Although Xu Xingyin could show off his eloquence, since the matter had already been brought to the attention of the elders, it was natural for the elders in the family to make the decision.

Xu Xingyin knew this very well, and after saying this, he never spoke again.

The decision on punishment was finally made by Old Madam Xu.

Originally, Xu Wanjie was only punished by being sent to the farm to reflect on her mistakes before getting married and returning to Beijing. But now it was changed to not being allowed to return to Beijing without a reason, which seemed to be like leaving Xu Wanjie at the farm alone.

After dealing with this matter, Old Madam Xu asked everyone to go back and rest, leaving only Xu Xiuzhu behind to talk.
