Chapter 501: Common Words Make Gold, but Accumulation Destroys Bones.

In the crowd, the kneeling maid was in a state of embarrassment, crying "woo woo", and there was a slap mark on her face. Half of her face was red and swollen, which was obvious when compared with the other half of her face, which was white, tender and clean.

"What the hell is going on with you girl? You don't even say anything to me if I ask you."

"Which family are you from?"

"Who hit you? This is Yu Hui'an, and no one's family can punish you if they want. What a sin. You are so arrogant outside, how can you do anything in the house?"

"Which family does it belong to?"

Some people are asking, some are sighing, and some are asking each other, but one maid really can't tell which house she belongs to.

No matter what he said or asked, the maid said nothing and still knelt there crying.

Outside the crowd, Shao Wan's eyes were like water, and they fell on the kneeling maid. She was indeed the maid who was punished to kneel before, but she didn't know who made the slap mark on her face.

He walked over slowly, stood in front of the maid, looked at the maid's face, squatted down and looked into the maid's eyes carefully.

The maid's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She looked at Shao Wanru in front of her blankly, confused and at a loss.

"Hey, why are you crying here? What happened?" Yu Jie's voice came from behind her, with a bit of surprise.

The maid turned around and recognized Yujie immediately. She turned towards Yujie and said, "Sister Yujie, Fifth Miss... Fifth Miss..."

When I said this, I burst into tears.

Behind her, Shao Wanru stood up straight and looked at the maid's back with watery eyes. These words sounded really vague, and he was accusing himself!

"What's wrong with our lady? Who slapped you? Why do you stay here?" Yu Jie looked up and down with surprise on her face.

"Fifth Miss...Fifth Miss..." The maid seemed to want to say something, but her voice was choked with sobs and she couldn't speak clearly. Except for Fifth Miss, the only thing left was this "whimpering" cry.

"What's wrong with you, our lady? Tell me, you won't say that our lady slapped you, right?" Yu Jie asked impatiently.

The maid shook her hands vigorously and continued to cry "wuwu", but no more words came out. Her eyes were panicked and her body was trembling slightly. It looked like she was very frightened.

I was so frightened by the "Fifth Miss" in Yujie's mouth!

"Whose fifth lady?"

"Who's from this house? Look at this poor guy, he's really frightened."

"Even if it was really the fifth lady who beat her, this girl looks like she doesn't dare to say anything!" ...

The crowd started talking again, and everyone had their own opinions. In summary, it was Shao Wanru, the Fifth Miss.

Yujie squatted in front of the maid, stretched out her hand and gestured to the maid's face, "I shouldn't have hit you, right?"

The slap mark on the maid's face is still very obvious. Yujie's hands are smaller than before. It is clear at a glance that the slap mark is not hers.

Bigger than her hand.

The maid shook her head vigorously this time and said in panic: "It's not Yu...Sister Yujie, it's not you!"

Yujie breathed a sigh of relief, "It's better if it's not me, otherwise I won't be able to explain clearly for a while!"

"If you're not me, then who am I? Tell me, I'll let our lady make the decision for you. Although we don't know the people who came to the house today, and we don't know who beat you, we still want to ask the lady in the house. It's always okay for Madam to report it!" Yu Jie said angrily.

"No... don't!" The maid burst into tears.

"Why not? Are you afraid of someone's revenge?" Yujie frowned in confusion.

"Is this benefactor from the palace of Duke Xingguo?" A gentle voice suddenly came from outside the crowd. Everyone looked back and saw that it was a nun from Yuhui Nunnery.

The crowd moved aside, and Shao Wanru's eyes fell on the nun. His eyes were deep, and he actually had a back-up plan.

The nun walked up to the maid, looked at the Buddhist temple not far away, then looked at the maid and asked gently again: "You are from the Duke Xingguo's house, and you just accompanied the fifth lady of your house to do this." The maid who arranges the dishes?"

The maid nodded vigorously while crying.

The crowd immediately stirred up another stir. Because of Yu Jie's words, the suspicion that this fifth young lady was unlikely became even greater.

That fifth lady is the one who really takes action!

"This master's wife speaks so unreasonably. Our young lady doesn't know any of the other servants in Duke Xingguo's residence. She was just watching with her just now. All the time, the stewards of Duke Xingguo's residence were in charge. Why? Are you just accompanying our lady to arrange the dishes?" Yujie looked at the nun with a sneer.

She didn't recognize this nun. Yuhui Nunnery was very big and there were many nuns, so it was normal for some of them not to recognize her.

"This benefactor, this poor nun has made a mistake!" The female nun humbly said to Yujie calmly.

Yujie ignored her, gave the handkerchief to the maid, and then pulled her up. The maid originally wanted to struggle to get up, but Yujie was a strong person and dragged her up. : "If you have anything to say, stand up and say it. You don't have to cry so much. Just say who hit you!"

The maid stood up and looked around in panic. There were concerned faces on the left and right, and there was also a face with a veil, none of which she recognized.

"Tell me, so many of us are listening, this is not the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, and it's not something anyone can do by being arrogant and domineering."

"Yes...yes, where is the former master of the nunnery!" ...

Perhaps everyone's words touched the maid and gave her some courage. She wiped her tears and said timidly: "Fifth...Fifth Miss..."

"You mean our lady beat you?" Yu Jie's voice immediately rose and she said loudly. Seeing that the maid was still crying, she added, "Stop talking, just nod or shake your head!"

Everyone fell silent, and their eyes fell on the maid's head. When they saw her hesitantly and invisibly nodding, they immediately became excited.

"As expected, it is the fifth lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion. She seems to be a cruel person."

"Definitely, if you do well, you will be forced to kneel down in front of the Buddhist temple. This is Yuhui Nunnery. Whose girl with good training would do such a thing."

"No, I don't know what kind of vicious person this fifth lady from Duke Xingguo's mansion is, and I am not afraid of offending the Bodhisattva, making him angry and causing disaster."

Immediately, several people clasped their hands together with panic on their faces and bowed to the Buddhist temple from afar, looking nervous and frightened.

The nun also clasped her hands together and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice toward the direction of the Buddhist temple.

There was some commotion among the crowd present. Even the nuns of Yuhui Nunnery did this. I am afraid that the Buddha will really punish him. Most of the people in Yuhui Nunnery came to worship the Buddha. Naturally, they believed in this kind of thing. His face turned slightly pale, and he followed the nun in chanting the Buddha's name.

"Okay, even if this matter is over, you should go back to where you came from. Buddha can see all living beings!" The nun said gently after chanting the Buddha's name.

"Thank you so much, Master..." The maid wiped her face and limped away.

Shao Wanru winked at Yujie. It was really hard to explain why he wanted this maid to leave at this time.

"Hey, don't go. You said it was our lady who beat you. Why did our lady beat you? Our lady had been in the Buddhist temple just now. When did you beat you? Since you said it was our lady who beat you, you must make it clear. , you are so unclear, are you planning to pour sewage on our lady again?"

Yujie reached out and grabbed the maid, shouting loudly.

When she yelled like this, her confident look made many people look at her.

"Just now you meant that our lady beat you, but you don't even know our lady. How could it be our lady who beat you? Our lady has been living in Yuhui Nunnery, and today she is just a maid like me. You Everyone else came here to arrange the dishes today, and our lady and I just watched from the sidelines. If anything happens, it will be our lady’s fault!"

Yujie became louder and louder, saying one sentence after another, "Since the slap on your face was not caused by me, it was slapped by our lady, right? Besides me, our lady can't control you. Now I will call the lady." Come here and make a handprint to see if it belongs to the young lady."

Yujie said as she turned around to leave.

The maid was so worried that she hurriedly reached out to hold her.

"What are you doing? Your face is swollen so much. If it swells for a while, you won't be able to see the fingerprints clearly. If you go there late, you won't be able to tell clearly." Yu Jie pushed the maid's hand away angrily. Said, the maid held her hand while crying, her face full of panic and fear.

I can't tell whether it's because of a guilty conscience or because of genuine fear.

"Did your Fifth Miss slap the slap mark on your face?" Shao Wanru said calmly.

The maid nodded first, then shook her head. She still didn't say a word, but tears fell down in pairs. She looked extremely pitiful!

"Do you know me?" Shao Wanru asked gently.

The maid shook her head vigorously. There were strangers around her, but she remembered Yujie's face clearly, and her vision was blurred by tears.

"Since you don't know me, why do you keep hinting that I hit you?" Shao Wanru's eyes became lighter and lighter.

Yujie came over, bowed respectfully to Shao Wanru, and called: "Miss!"

Everyone was shocked for a moment, looking at Shao Wanru in front of them in astonishment. She had been here for a while, and she even looked at the maid. The maid clearly looked like she didn't recognize her, and now this person But it was the fifth young lady that the maid was talking about just now, and the meaning behind it was enough to make many people wake up immediately.

"Filthy!"

"He is actually the slanderous master of today's people!"

"How dare a servant slander the master? There must be someone behind it!"

"I remembered that the fifth lady of Duke Xingguo's palace is not the lady who recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan that caused a special sensation a few years ago. It is said that the entire Duke Xingguo's palace disliked her and was forced to enter The one who came to Yu Hui'an to observe mourning for his parents for three years."

Someone connected the before and after and came to such a conclusion, and suddenly this buried old incident was uncovered.

"Yu Jie, send someone to give her to Mrs. Tai, and ask who wants to harm me this time!" Shao Wanru said with tired eyes. Although he only saw a pair of cold and charming water eyes, The look in his eyes was undoubtedly sad.

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking at the crowd.

"Fifth Miss...Fifth Miss, you didn't hit me, it was the steward who punished this slave!" The maid finally said a complete sentence and knelt down heavily in front of Shao Wanru's back.

She cannot bear the crime of slandering her master!
