Chapter 35: Demon's Advice
When the weeping willows came, Zhao Fangyu was still kneeling.
The person sent by the eldest lady was Cui Mama's younger sister, Little Cui Mama. Zhao Fangyu looked at her unfamiliar face and realized that he had never seen Little Cui Mama before.
While waiting, Zhao Fangyu had been observing everyone in the hall.
Zhao Minshan still had an angry look on his face, the eldest lady's face was as cold as ice, the three Zhao Fangjin brothers and sisters looked concerned, Zhao Fangwei lowered her eyes and said nothing, and Zhao Fangyun gloated over the misfortune...
When Zhao Fanglan looked at her, there was still some pride on her face. But when Chui Liu was brought in tied up, her face suddenly became as gloomy as water.
Zhao Fangyu saw that Zhao Fanglan looked unhappy, and felt a little relieved. He then looked at Zhao Fanglan's little maid. She looked about eleven or twelve years old, skinny like a monkey, but for her pair of eyes, they were so black and shiny that Zhao Fangyu must have been made of gold, silver or jewelry. The look in his eyes when he looked at her carried an inexplicable ruthlessness.
Zhao Fangyu felt that this skinny little maid was like a burnt wild grass that was still gathering strength to wait for the spring breeze to come again, turning the south bank of the river green. There was an extremely vigorous vitality in her thin body.
I don’t know what Zhao Fanglan did to make her so loyal to her, but such a person is hard to come by.
Unfortunately, such a loyal servant will most likely not be saved.
Zhao Fangyu withdrew his gaze and looked at the pattern on the carpet in front of him again, his mind working rapidly.
If the weeping willow can be bribed, it will definitely leave traces.
The bribery in the inner house was nothing more than money, jewelry and connections. Zhao Fanglan was just a concubine's daughter, and she didn't have the means to cover up the truth.
The little maid Zhao Fanglan found was very loyal and might not confess even under torture. But judging from the fact that Chui Liu could be bribed, we knew that she was not a person of firm determination.
She is weak-willed and not very intelligent, otherwise she would not have fallen to the point of having a concubine's daughter serve as a laundry maid.
The maid in blue who was tied up and gagged in front of Xiao Cui's mother was Chui Liu.
After all, she was someone from his own room, and Zhao Fangyu had some impression of her. In his impression, Chui Liu always had a frown on his face. He wanted to go to another master's yard but couldn't find the way. In the end, he was squeezed into her room and didn't snatch Chun Shao's place, so he could only get a job as a laundryman.
A thin man named Gangan came in alone. He has gained a lot of weight now. Xiao Cui's mother tied him up like a New Year pig, one section at a time, until he was covered in layers of knots.
Little Cui's mother bowed to Zhao Minshan and the eldest lady and said, "Master, eldest lady, this is the weeping willow that washes the laundry in the fourth lady's room."
"Twenty taels of silver were found in the room of the maid Chui Liu. In addition, there was also a bracelet that Qiaohui, who used to be with the third lady, often wore."
The weeping willow pointed at by Xiao Cui's mother trembled like a sieve and was tied up unable to move, but it still wanted to get up and kowtow to Zhao Minshan and the eldest lady.
The eldest lady looked at Zhao Minshan and asked, "The Third Miss's personal maid's things are in Chui Liu's hands?"
Little Cui's mother nodded and said, "Yes, I am also puzzled. When I went there, I personally took it off Chui Liu's hand. This girl got this bracelet a few months ago, and she would take it out to show off whenever she had free time."
"In addition, there were 20 taels of silver buried in the weeping willows and in the garden. They were buried very deep. We searched four or five places and found a total of 20 taels."
"Dahei found it by sniffing her clothes, it can't be fake."
"I also asked the gatekeeper, and she said that Chui Liu often went to the garden, both during the day and at night. When I asked, she said that the fourth lady wanted to make incense, so she sent her to pick fresh flowers."
Mother Xiao Cui waved her hand, and a few maids dressed the same as Chui Liu came up.
"These maids slept in the same room with Chui Liu. They all said that the Fourth Lady never gave Chui Liu and them any instructions. Whenever there was something, she would first go to Xiangyao and Chunshao, who would then assign the tasks. As for the flowers that Chui Liu had picked secretly, she never gave them to the Fourth Lady, and told her to leave them in the room and let them get spoiled."
From beginning to end, Xiao Cui's mother kept her head down, looking servile, with two silver hairpins neatly inserted into her bun. Her face could not be seen clearly, but she slowly and steadily nailed Zhao Fanglan to the pillar of shame.
For the first time, Zhao Fangyu realized what a great teammate was. He pinched the soft flesh on the inside of his arm without making a sound, and tears immediately streamed down his pretty face.
The seven-year-old baby still had baby fat on his face. His amber eyes fluttered his long eyelashes and tears rolled down his face one by one. Not many tears were left, and half of his face turned red.
Zhao Zhihuai remembered what happened just now and pleaded for Zhao Fangyu: "You can't convict Fourth Sister based on the nonsense of a maid. Father, drink some tea first, and wait until the needles on Third Sister's face are removed. Even if there is any secret, it's better to explain it to her face."
The eldest lady nodded immediately and asked someone to put a thick cushion under Zhao Fangyu's knees. When he knelt on it, he could not feel the hardness and coldness of the ground at all.
Zhao Fanglan closed her eyes, her expression unrecognizable, but in her heart she wished she could faint.
Who knew that Chui Liu was so stupid, and never thought that the eldest lady would be willing to send Xiao Cui's mother for Zhao Fangyu?
Zhao Fanglan had only seen Xiao Cui's mother take action once. She was said to be the most respectable person in the eldest lady's courtyard. The last time Xiao Cui's mother took action, she caught a dozen corrupt managers.
A person who hadn't moved for 800 years actually asked the eldest lady to call back and search a maid who was doing laundry? !
This time, Xiao Cui's mother caught Chui Liu, and it was only a matter of time before Chui Liu told the truth. Even if her personal maid Qiao Xun had evidence in her hands, she could not get rid of her suspicion.
Zhao Fanglan subconsciously thought of Aunt Zhang's ferocious face when she was in distress. For some reason, she subconsciously wanted to imitate Aunt Zhang who pretended to be crazy and stupid to deal with this crisis.
Zhao Fangyu choked up at the right moment, and with slightly red eyes, she complained to Zhao Minshan: "I don't know how I have offended Third Sister, and she misunderstood me to such an extent that she thought I wanted to kill her sisters."
"Since I was born, I have been very careful and prudent. I have never done anything presumptuous. My brothers and sisters have always treated me with courtesy. I don't know if it is my fault for what happened today."
"My mother has always taught me that sisters in my family are of the same blood and are connected by blood. Even if there is friction, it is just teeth knocking lips. I never thought that my third sister would be so afraid of me."
After saying that, he turned to Zhao Fanglan and said, "Third sister, can you tell me what Yu'er did wrong to make you feel so wronged that you even warned the servants to be afraid of me like a snake?"
Zhao Fanglan was speechless and just kept crying. Zhao Fangyu turned his accusation against Qiaoxun again: "You said that I pinched Third Sister's flesh when she was in school, compared her food, clothing, and academic performance with her, and even isolated her when we went out to banquets?"
"Can you provide some evidence?"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Qiaoxun’s bright dark eyes gradually dimmed. She gave a bitter smile and knelt down on her knees.
The gesture of admitting mistakes is self-evident.
She once went to see Zhao Fanglan, but Zhao Fanglan didn't look at her, as if she was not Zhao Fanglan's maid. At that moment Qiaoxun already knew that she was abandoned by Zhao Fanglan like Aunt Zhang.
But she couldn't retaliate or threaten.
The only way to save my sister is to be a discarded pawn.
"Father, why did this maid dare to slander my third and fourth sisters? There must be a demon behind this. Please investigate it in detail."
Zhao Fangyun's words made the silver needles on Zhao Fanglan's face tremble with anger!
How can there be such an idiot in the world!
