Chapter 651 So-called Defense
Have you never seen the moon? Haven't you given the box? So, is Nie Caiyue telling a lie, or is Xiao Xiu telling a lie?
Mrs Nie on one side listened and couldn't help raising her eyebrows and saying angrily, "Xiao Xiu, what are you talking about?"
At a glance, this Xiaoxiu knew that he had been bought to frame Nie Caiyue. Now, he actually didn't admit it. How could Mrs. Nie give up?
Aunt Yue looked at Mrs. Nie on one side and suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, "Yo, what are you worried about... Since Xiaoxiu has said that she has not seen the second lady, then there is another person who can't give the second lady the ointment? This person sees more girls every day, and it's not necessarily wrong... Second Miss , don't you think so?"
Aunt Yue's words were pertinent. Looking at that, she seemed to be looking for a step for Nie Caiyue, but anyone could hear it, she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
Hearing this, Nie Xiangxiu couldn't help nodding aside and said, "Yes, mother, look, this second sister hasn't asked clearly yet. Why are you so anxious?"
Nie Xiangxiu can't wait for Nie Caiyue not to ask clearly in his whole life.
Obviously, Mrs. Nie wanted to protect Nie Caiyue, but Nie Xiangxiu did not allow it. She wants to see if Nie Caiyue is unlucky this time, what will Mrs. Nie take to protect her?
Mrs Nie's look changed slightly. She said, "It always needs to be clarified. Don't Xiangxiu want to find the culprit who killed you?"
As soon as Mrs. Nie said this, Aunt Yue's face changed again, but then returned to normal.
Nie Xiangxiu snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Nie Caiyue listened here, shook her head and said, "No, it's just Xiaoxiu who took it to me... The girl present can testify."
Nie Xiangxiu on one side listened and couldn't help sneering, "Those girls are all your girls. Of course, they are looking at you. I can't say that I'm testifying for you. Even if you want them to point a deer as a horse, they dare not point..."
The old man's look also seemed to have changed.
Now, it is obvious that Nie Caiyue lied, because Xiaoxiu is from the old man's room and doesn't need to flatter anyone. Therefore, her words should be true.
Mrs Nie wanted to say anything more on one side. Mrs. Nie looked at her coldly, and Mrs. Nie immediately silenced and dared not speak any more.
The people present looked at Nie Caiyue, and they didn't know what kind of look they looked in their bright and dark eyes.
Nie Caiyue's face remained unchanged. She stepped forward and gently said to Xiaoxiu, "Xiao Xiu, it was obviously that you sent me the ointment, saying that it was given by the old woman. Now, why don't you remember?"
Xiao Xiu didn't dare to see Nie Caiyue. She just flinched and whispered, "What's wrong, the maidservant has been helping in the kitchen and hasn't been in the back garden at all... How can there be any ointment for the second lady... Besides..."
Xiao Xiu suddenly raised his head, looked at the old lady and said, "Laojun Mingjian, Xiaoxiu is just a rough girl, and she does all the work of some servants. The thing given to the ladies should be Mei Ying, Mei Qing, Mei Hua and Mei Juan... How can it be my turn to be a servant? What about the girl?"
This makes a lot of sense.
You know, in front of the old woman, there are four first-class maids, Mei Ying, Mei Qing, Mei Hua, Mei Juan, and eight second-class maids. If she wants to give Nie Caiyue something, she really can't let a rough girl go... What's more, although Nie Caiyue is usually not favored, she is indeed true. It's the eldest daughter of Nie's mansion...
Hearing this, everyone probably understood what was going on - but no one expected that this direct lady dared to be bold, and even the people in the old lady's room dared to frame her.
Nie Caiyue's face suddenly turned pale. Her body shook slightly as if she wanted to fall. Jianger on one side quickly stepped forward to help him. Nie Caiyue clenched his hand and slowly stood up straight.
Nie Caiyue saluted the old man and said, "Taijun, my granddaughter wants to ask Xiaoxiu a few questions, and I hope the old man can agree..."
The old man's face was very ugly. She said lightly, "This was originally a matter between your sisters. If you really did it, you just recognized it. Why bother with this trouble?"
Looking at the old gentleman's meaning, do you actually believe that Nie Caiyue did it?
Nie Caiyue said with a pale face and said, "Although my granddaughter is not talented, she is also the daughter of Nie's family. She dares to take it as the teaching she has received since childhood... If Cai Yue really did it, Cai Yue will naturally not deny it, but if it hadn't been Cai Yue, Cai Yue would not have destroyed her reputation in vain."
Mrs Nie straightened up and said to Mrs. Nie, "Old lady, today is your happy day. My children and grandchildren have done such things, and my concubine also taught me the crime of laxity. I hope you can agree to take this little repair back and ask clearly what's going on..."
Mrs Nie said and glanced at Xiaoxiu. Xiaoxiu's eyes flashed in panic, and then lowered his head.
Before the old lady spoke, Aunt Yue on one side has said lightly: "Madam, do you mean that you are wiser than the old lady? This old lady has asked clearly, why bother with more trouble... According to the concubine, this should be what Xiaoxiu said... The second lady took the ointment and wiped it on the young lady, and the young lady became like this. It was obviously the second lady's intention to murder the young lady..."
As soon as Nie Xiangxiu on one side heard Aunt Yue's words, he immediately covered his face and felt sad: "Second sister, my sister usually treats you well. Why do you treat your sister like this... Although my sister is a concubine, you are noble without a sister, but you and I are both sons and daughters of the Nie family. We are born from the same root. Why is it too urgent to fry each other..."
Mrs Nie was immediately angry when she heard the two women's words. However, she knows better that this is a matter of Nie Caiyue's reputation. She must not get angry, let alone lead things in a worse direction. Because if she is a little careless, she may not only not help Nie Caiyue, but also has trouble herself.
Nie Caiyue stopped her mother with her eyes. She squeezed her lips, took two steps forward, bowed deeply to the old woman and said, "Taijun, my granddaughter just wants to ask Xiaoxiu a few words. If there is no result, she is willing to accept Taijun's sanctions."
The old man raised his head and looked at Nie Caiyue, touching the persistent, stubborn, unyielding, and even angry eyes of the other party. The eyes were as fierce as fire, full of a woman's grievances and anger. And inexplicable heartache. That look is like the awe-inspiring and killing of a general who raised his sword to kill the enemy.
That's the look that made the old man's heart suddenly move. She suddenly remembered herself as a teenager, those lost years of killing.
The old man suddenly raised his hand and said lightly, "If you have anything to say, just ask."
In public and in full view, Nie Caiyue naturally can't move anything. Even if she asks, the old man is not afraid at all.
And when Xiaoxiu heard that Nie Caiyue was going to ask himself, he suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do. She subconsciously stepped back two steps, as if to avoid Nie Caiyue's sight.
Nie Caiyue took two steps forward, looked at Xiaoxiu and said with some heartache, "Xiaoxiu, why did you lie to Taijun... Obviously, when I saw you today, you were still wearing this dress, and your hair was still combed like this... I knew it was you. How could you admit your mistake?"
Xiao Xiu looked at Nie Caiyue, shook his head in a panic and said, "No... Miss, you must have recognized the wrong person... Because the maidservant's clothes were stained by Aunt Zhang in the kitchen, although she changed a new suit... The maidservant was definitely not wearing this dress this morning... Besides, although the maidservant did not know the second little one Why did my sister insist that it was the medicine sent by me? However, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li in the kitchen can testify. I have been helping Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li watch the fire, cut vegetables and so on in the kitchen. I really haven't left the kitchen for half a step.
Looking at Xiaoxiu's appearance, she was so anxious that her face turned red and seemed to be hammered. Anyone who looked at her felt that she was extremely innocent and pitiful. She was completely like a little girl forced by her master.
