Chapter 28 Counterpart

Unconsciously, she had entered the courtyard. Mo Ziyao looked up and found that many people had stood there in the corridor. They whispered, and Mo Ziyao clearly heard her name and the stolen words of the golden thread from the pronunciation.

Mo Ziyao smiled bitterly. She didn't look at everyone's eyes, but shook her head and entered the hall.

In the middle of the hall, the second lady was sitting in the upper seat, holding the teacup with her jade hand and gently sipling the tea. She did not raise her eyes when she heard the footsteps.

There was also a woman sitting on the left side of the second lady. At this time, she was holding her chin with one hand and staring at Mo Ziyao who came in expressionlessly, but a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes. This person is not someone else, but Gu Qinger, who has just returned from southern Xinjiang!

Xi'er dragged Mo Ziyao into the door, pushed her to the ground and shouted, "Why don't you say good regards to the second lady and the second lady!"

Mo Ziyao patted the dust on her hands, adjusted her posture, and then said to the two, "I want to see the second lady and the second lady!"

At this time, there was a deliberately lowered dialogue from the crowd on the left: "Well, I'm dying and pretending to be arrogant. I really don't know the depth of the world!"

"That's it, that's it." The two people who sang together were none other than Gui's mother in the laundry room and Ajiao, who once called her sister to Mo Ziyao.

Mo Ziyao couldn't help clenching her fists when she heard the sound. The real thief is the two people talking, but the two of them can stand there at peace and have time to sneer at each other.

"Is everyone here?" Qing'er glanced at the crowd and said in a dignified voice.

"Yes, Miss Er, everyone is almost here, but... When the maidservant went to Jing Livable just now, the eldest lady and Miss Xiaoxiao said they would also come and have a look..." Xi'er quickly continued.

Qier raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Will the elder sister and Xiaoxiao also come to join in the fun? Then wait for them to come and start!" After that, he glanced at Mo Ziyao on the ground with his spare light.

In a short time, footsteps came. Jinger and Xiaoxiao came in. Mo Ziyao knelt on the ground and turned her head to see that the two of them were really coming, and she was still excited.

A trace of strangeness flashed in the second lady's eyes, but soon returned to normal. She raised her head, put down the teacup in her hand, smiled charmingly at the two of them, and whispered, "Come on, show me a seat for the two ladies."

When the two sat down, the second husband slowly said, "This time, everyone must know that the gold thread on the clothes has been removed recently. Today, it has lived up to expectations. The thief has been caught, and now it will come to an end."

At this time, the people below suddenly whispered to each other as if they had exploded.

The second lady ignored the reaction of the people below and continued in a majestic voice: "Everyone must want to know who did this, right? In fact, thanks to Gui's mother's report, this matter can bring the truth to the surface so quickly. Gui Ma, come and tell everyone what happened!"

Gui's mother flattered and arched her hand to the second lady, then grinned at everyone, and then stared at Mo Ziyao on the ground fiercely. Then he pretended to cough and said, "Guys, it's really a shame. I've been in charge of the laundry room for so many years, and nothing has happened. I didn't expect that there were unclean people in my laundry room today."

Gui's mother paused for a moment, and then continued in an extremely passionate voice: "It's her Mo Ziyao, a long-term worker who washes clothes, who secretly removed the gold thread on her clothes! This happened in our laundry room. I'm guilty! Shame on the villa, and our laundry room can't lift our head!"

Then Gui's mother knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to the second lady.

The second lady said softly, "Why should Gui's mother blame herself? Although this matter came from the laundry room, it has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, you have made contributions to reporting, and I will reward you later. Get up quickly!"

Xiaoxiao glanced at Gui's mother and the second lady, and then turned his eyes to Gu Qinger, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Qier also stared back at Xiaoxiao. When she saw Xiaoxiao's mocking eyes, she was first very angry, but after a moment, she laughed at herself and also returned with contemptuous eyes, as if to say: What are you proud of? You can't get off the stage for a while. Let's see how proud you are.

Gui's mother's eyes turned, and a hoarse voice sounded in the hall. "Fortunately, the stolen gold thread is still in the village, and my sin is a little lighter. This is the stolen goods I found in her **." Gui's mother took out a cloth bag from her sleeve and carefully walked to the second lady and handed it over.

The second lady reached out to take the cloth bag and opened it. There was a handful of gold thread lying inside. The second lady turned her hand and put the silk thread on the coffee table beside her, stood up and stared at Mo Ziyao with a heavy face and said, "The evidence is conclusive. What else do you have to say?"

"The maidservant has been wronged. I hope the second lady can observe it clearly!" Mo Ziyao lay on the ground, but said loudly.

At this time, Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore. She suddenly stood up from the chair and walked to Mo Ziyao to pull her up from the ground. It's none of your business. You have indeed been wronged. I can make the decision for you!"

Mo Ziyao still lie motionless on the ground, but just said, "Thank you, Miss Xiaoxiao, but the rules can't be messy. The villain is a slave. My wife won't let me get up. I won't get up. Also, I have been kneeling here before the grievances are washed away!"

"You...whatever you want!" Xiaoxiao saw that Mo Ziyao was so stubborn that she really didn't know what to say, so she had to stamp her feet, walked to the second lady, stared into the second lady's eyes and said coldly, "Second lady, today I seem to tell you that the name of the golden informant is not Mo Ziyao, but Ajiao, right?" With that, Xiaoxiao turned his eyes to Ajiao, who bowed her head and said no words.

Ajiao couldn't help trembling when she heard her name. Xiaoxiao and Jinger both saw this detail. Xiaoxiao smiled and suddenly shouted, "Ajiao, don't kneel down and be punished!"

"No... it's not me, it's not me..." A Jiao suddenly jumped to the ground and kowtowed desperately to the second lady. At this time, Gui's mother quickly stepped forward to pull A Jiao up from the ground and said in a low voice, "It's not you. Why are you panicking?"

"Yes, if it weren't for you, what would you be panicking about?" Qing'er followed Gui's mother's words.

Then Xiaoxiao turned to everyone, "In fact, this matter was not done by Mo Ziyao, but her - Ajiao! I saw her tearing the golden thread on the young lady's clothes in the room.

"Ah...what's the situation?"

"I don't know..."

“......”

Xiaoxiao glanced at the discussion crowd and coughed softly, "The other day, I heard that someone stole the gold thread on the ladies' clothes and went to the laundry room to check it out. As a result, I happened to see a woman sneakingly take a freshly washed clothes into the cabin in the dark. She quickly took out a fine needle and scissors from her body and began to remove the gold wire. Just as she was about to cut the thread, I accidentally kicked something under my feet because of a movement. The woman's hand trembled when she heard the sound, and she just cut her clothes. Then she put the removed gold thread into her arms, and then ran out in a panic..."

"You just saw a man tearing down the golden thread on the young lady's clothes, but who knows if the person you saw was Ajiao? I also said that the person you originally saw was Mo Ziyao? Speak with evidence!" Qing'er suddenly stood up and stared at Xiaoxiao and said in a low voice.

"Why... why should I lie? When I told the second lady about this before, the second lady promised me to severely punish Ajiao..." Xiaoxiao argued eagerly.

"You heard it wrong. What my mother said is to severely punish the thief!" Qing'er directly interrupted Xiaoxiao's words.

"You...you...revert right and wrong!" Xiaoxiao pointed to Qinger and the second lady, and his eyes were full of shock. The latter looks careless.

At this time, Mo Ziyao, who was ignored, suddenly said, "Madam, miss, can you let me say a few words?"

Everyone focused their eyes on Mo Ziyao. The second lady looked at her and spit out two words carelessly: "That's right."

"Second Mrs. Xie! You said that the silk thread was stolen by slaves, and the stolen goods were found in **. I want to know when you found it in slave**!" Mo Ziyao still lowered her head, but said without saying anything.

Gui's mother stepped forward and said harshly, "In the afternoon, you went to deliver clothes! I have been doubting you for a long time! It's just that there is no evidence. Now that all the stolen goods have been obtained, what else do you have to say?

"Mom Gui, you said I did it, so what about the time of my crime? I have been to get water by the well all day. In the afternoon, A Jiao came to tell me that you asked me to bring clothes to the young lady. I had never touched the clothes before. Besides, you keep all the needles, threads, scissors, knives and so on in the laundry room, but I can't touch them at all.

Gui's mother was shocked at first, and then said calmly, "I found that my needles, threads, scissors and knives were missing yesterday. Did you secretly take them?"

"Yes, yes, she took it!" At this time, Ajiao recovered and hurriedly got involved.

"Since you also said it was gone, did you find it in my ** later?" Mo Ziyao suddenly raised her head and stared at Gui's mother.

"I haven't found this yet. I'll ask someone to look for it when I go back. I'm sure it's still with you**. Gui's mother was a little guilty by Mo Ziyao and replied anxiously.

Jinger, who had been sitting aside without opening her mouth, gently said, "Er Niang, I heard that the words of the three people are full of loopholes, and I can't tell which is right or wrong. Why don't you call a maid, let her lift two buckets of water, and lift 500 times up and down.

The second lady immediately ordered someone to do it, but she still asked doubtfully, "Why is this?" Not only the second lady is puzzled, but everyone doesn't understand.

"We'll know later." Jing'er still whispered calmly.

Mo Ziyao is very moved at this time. She understands that Jinger is doing this by telling everyone with her actions that people who have worked hard for a day can't hold scissors.

After a while, the maid finished 500 times, put down the bucket, and wiped the sweat on her face with trembling hands.

Jinger said calmly again, "Madam, please take out two pieces of clothes with gold thread, and prepare two sets of tools such as needles, threads, scissors and knives."

The second lady was not asking the reason, but directly ordered someone to do it, but her heart began to beat a little.

The thing was quickly brought up. Jinger looked at the gasping maid and smiled, "Go over and take down a dress and pull out the gold thread."

The maid suddenly knelt on the ground and waved her hand timidly, "Miss, I dare not!"

Jinger smiled, helped her up from the ground, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, just do as I say."

Jinger suddenly looked at Ajiao again, "You can also dismantle one."

Ajiao also wanted to kneel down and refuse, but was pushed over by Xiaoxiao, who didn't know when she came to her side. She had to look at Gui's mother for help, but Gui's mother didn't look at her at all. She turned her heart, picked up the tool and slowly dismantled it...

Soon the time passed, and Jinger suddenly shouted to stop. At this time, everyone looked at the two people in front of them, and their eyes were full of confusion.

A Jiao still doesn't understand what's going on. She thinks that she can't see anything strange if she deliberately slows down. She looked at another maidservant doubtfully and saw that the clothes in front of her had been cut to pieces, but none of the gold thread had been pulled out.

Although many people present have not yet understood, her heart slowly sank.

Jing'er walked towards the two and first came to the rotten clothes and said softly, "This demonstration shows that people who have done heavy work for a day's hands will tremble due to excessive force, and even it will become extremely difficult to hold the scissors. And the fine work of removing silk thread requires a stable state of mind and a complete attack, and is quite proficient in this work.

When Jinger finished saying this, she also walked to Ajiao, looked at a few gold threads that had been removed on the table, and stopped talking.

The people below suddenly woke up, and their contemptuous eyes quickly surrounded Ajiao.

A Jiao lowered her head and did not dare to look at everyone. She persisted for a long time in contemptuous eyes and the curses, but the defense line in her heart gradually collapsed in the end. Suddenly, she collapsed to the ground and crawled to the second lady and cried, "Please forgive me!" I don't dare to do it anymore..."

"It's really you!" The second lady suddenly stood up, and her always majestic voice changed a little.

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Gui's mother quickly knelt down in front of the second lady and said hoarsely, "It turned out to be her!" Second lady, please punish me. It's all my usual misdiscipline, but you can't spare her and punish her severely. She did such a disgraceful thing and blamed others. This... This kind of behavior is really too bad. The second lady must punish her heavily so that future generations can learn a lesson..." Gui's mother All of himself, he finally pushed his niece out.

Mo Ziyao finally got up from the ground and smiled gratefully at Jinger and Xiaoxiao.
