Chapter 833: Second Sister, Don’t You Dare!

"Fifth sister, what did you say to me when you sent the maid here just now?" Shao Jie'er leaned towards Shao Wanru. Although her voice was very soft, no one in the room spoke at this time. When she said this, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. Look at her.

Shao Wanru looked at Shao Jie'er in shock, "Second sister, why did I send someone here!"

"You didn't send anyone over?" Shao Jie'er's face turned ugly and she said anxiously: "Why is there no one? That maid is clearly the maid in your yard."

"The maid in my yard?" Shao Wanru raised his eyebrows and repeated.

"Yes, she is the maid in your courtyard. I can't name her, but you will definitely recognize her when you see her." Shao Jie'er said anxiously and panicked.

Shao Wanru pursed her lips, and it took a long time for a smile to appear on her face, but the smile was a little cold. Seeing that Shao Jie'er said so confidently, she looked like she was going to recognize someone in her yard. Needless to say, her own There was indeed such a person in the yard who communicated with her through messages.

"Second sister, are you sure?" Shao Wanru asked.

"Of course it's for sure. Fifth sister, you sent someone to let the maid arouse me, and then the yard where I was staying burned down. Fifth sister really didn't know about it?"

When Shao Jie'er saw Shao Wanru's expression, her panic calmed down a little. It seemed that this matter could be remedied.

"Second girl, fifth girl, what are you talking about?" The lady sitting above coughed heavily. Except for the two of them, everyone else in the room had already taken their seats.

Wen Xichi glanced at Shao Wanru, who was a little confused. He felt inexplicably that Shao Wanru, who was standing in the room at this time, looked a little aggrieved and sad. His heart skipped a few beats, and his handsome eyebrows wrinkled. He was very sad. Don't like this feeling.

There was an uncontrollable anger directed at the other people in the room that she contained.

He exhaled forcefully, suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and when he looked up, it was clear. He was an official of the Ministry of Punishment, and he should listen to everyone's confessions calmly.

Besides, this is a matter for Duke Xingguo. Before the truth of the matter is found out, it is inappropriate for him to say anything. Maintaining a detached attitude is what he should do.

"Grandma, I have been copying books at my eldest brother's new house, but then the fifth sister sent a maid to tell me what happened today. I thought that these things could not be conveyed clearly through a maid, so I left and thought I went to find my fifth sister, but I didn’t expect that just after I left for a while, the house caught fire.”

Shao Jie'er looked at the lady in panic and said.

Shao Wanru suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes falling coldly on her. What he said was so nice. He already blamed himself for the fire.

The words imply that he sent someone to lure Shao Jie'er out before anyone moved his hands.

"Don't talk nonsense, your fifth sister should have something to say to you!" Madam Tai's face darkened, she glanced at Wen Xichi who was sitting next to her, and reprimanded.

Shao Jie'er's eyes were red and she lowered her head in grievance, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She just held the handkerchief and looked like she wanted to say something but didn't dare.

"How's the fever? Are you hurt?" Mrs. Tai scolded Shao Jie'er and turned to ask Shao Jing.

"No one was hurt, but this yard can't be used anymore!" Shao Jing frowned and said with a big head, "There's nothing else, except that the furniture sent by Shangshu's Mansion was not burned. It's not easy to report to Shangshu. The government will explain!”

"All the fever is gone?" The madam straightened her body, feeling that this matter was not easy to handle.

"Basically, it's almost burned. Even those that were robbed are half burned and can no longer be used." Shao Jing said helplessly, "The matter with Shangshu Mansion...I'm afraid..."

Halfway through these words, everyone in the room understood that this matter was indeed the fault of Duke Xingguo. It was inevitable for Shangshu to be angry. Now he was trying to find a way to calm Shangshu's anger.

"Promise to them whatever conditions they want to put forward!" The Madam said tiredly. The elderly person was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night, and it was really hard to resist. Especially in this cold night weather, the Madam's Even though the room was very warm, so many people came in and diluted the warmth.

Aunt Yu brought another heater over and put it into the hands of the madam. The old madam hugged her tightly and rolled her eyes slightly. She seemed to have some energy, but she was trying to stay energetic no matter what. .

"That's all I can do to agree to them. No matter what conditions they put forward, it's always our Xingguo Duke's fault!" Shao Jing also nodded, glanced at the people present, put his hands on the chair rails, stood up and wanted to Let's go, since this matter still has to be decided by the Shangshu Mansion, the Madam is not in good spirits at the moment, so she can only wait until tomorrow.

He just put his hands on the chair rail, but he heard Shao Wanru ask Shao Jie'er in a low voice: "Second sister, did you really see the maid I sent? Is it really the maid in my yard? But I They didn’t send a maid here!”

Shao Wanru blinked his eyes extremely innocently and looked at Shao Jie'er.

Before she knew it, she had leaned next to Shao Jie'er, and the two of them were standing together. She didn't speak loudly, but the opportunity was just right. Shao Jing stopped talking and was about to say goodbye to the wife. , Shao Wanru’s words came in at this moment.

Wen Xichi picked up the teacup at hand, took a sip, and slowly put it down. He knew that this matter could not go on like this.

"Second sister, are you shirking your responsibilities?" Seeing that Shao Jie'er didn't respond, Shao Wanru continued to ask. Her face was facing Shao Jie'er, so she didn't notice that everyone in the room turned their eyes to them.

She didn't see it, but Shao Jie'er saw it. Not only did she see it, but she also saw the cold eyes of the madam. She was so frightened that she couldn't help but tremble and said hurriedly: "Fifth sister, don't talk nonsense. It's really the person in your yard." The maid, if you don’t believe it, call the maid in your yard over and I can definitely pick her out.”

After speaking, he tried hard to show that he was confident.

She could really pick out that maid. The madam had told her who she was before, and she had seen her before.

"Second sister really wants to point someone out?" Shao Wanru asked with a half-smile.

"Of course, yes, I can definitely pick people out, but I just don't understand why Fifth Sister asked the maid to come to me at this time? You just said that I shirk responsibility, but I think you did something?" Induction Feeling confident, Shao Jie'er's face turned serious and her back straightened up.

There is indeed such a person. She is really not afraid that Shao Wanru will continue to inquire. Even if she is looking for him, she can find him. Now that she has the confidence, Shao Jie'er becomes arrogant again.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you go down!" The lady sitting above had a gloomy face and looked a little defeated. She scolded again, as if she didn't want to make the matter a big deal and wanted to calm down the matter.

Just like before, it was just when Shao Jie'er was about to testify. When he said this, it sounded like he was protecting Shao Wanru. Shao Wanru sneered in his heart. No one could be partial to the Madam. She was biased. This was actually the case. Use a vague attitude to blame the matter on yourself.

Not verifying it doesn't mean it's not true. Madam Tai's "protection" really made people suspect that Shao Wanru had done something wrong.

What happened during the day, although it was Shao Caihuan who quarreled with Shao Jie'er, Shao Wanru went there with Shao Caihuan at that time, and they were so quarrelsome that they held a grudge. After being reprimanded by the dowager, he did something unwillingly, It's also possible.

"Grandma..." Shao Jie'er obviously ignored her, but now she was scolded by the madam, and she felt aggrieved and was about to cry again.

According to Mrs. Tai's wishes, it really shouldn't be mentioned at this time, but remembering what Shao Wanru said just now that she was shirking responsibility, Shao Jie'er felt unwilling to let Shao Wanru go.

After finally grabbing Shao Wanru's painful foot, she picked it up high and put it down low. Shao Jie'er felt unwilling to do so, but she did not dare to disobey the Madam's wishes.

"Grandma, since the second sister saw my person, can you ask the second sister to identify him? When the fire broke out, the people in my yard were also alarmed. They should all be up by now!" Shao Wanru didn't panic. He calmly turned to the lady and picked up the topic.

The madam looked at Shao Wanru with a heavy gaze, with some anger and some disappointment in her eyes.

"Wan Ru, let's talk about your matters tomorrow. Your grandmother is so frightened and frightened tonight that she can't stand it any longer!" Shao Jing coughed and said.

"Second Uncle, I think it's better to explain it clearly today. Lord Wen happens to be here, so I asked Lord Wen to be a spectator. I'm afraid that after tonight, something may happen to the so-called maid in my yard, and he will die without any evidence. , I can’t even explain it clearly!” Shao Wanru shook his head and said.

Being rejected by a junior, Shao Jing's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and then Shao Wanru's words made him more and more unhappy, and his face darkened: "The maid in your yard is so lively, how could something happen to her? Stop talking nonsense and go back to rest!"

After saying that, he stood up. He didn't want to talk to Shao Wanru anymore. It was already late tonight and everyone was exhausted from all the hard work. Since the fire was out, other things would be dealt with tomorrow!

Wen Xichi gently touched the delicate patterns on the tea cup with his hand, lowered his head slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips. He waited quietly for the next...

"Second Uncle, please wait a moment. I suspect that someone wants to frame me and use the maid in my yard to frame me. Please ask Second Uncle to seek justice!" Shao Wanru blinked his watery eyes and said, "Nothing better than Second Sister tonight. Can you identify that maid and let her tell the truth about the matter?"

"It's too late now, Fifth Girl, let's do it tomorrow!" Mrs. Tai finally spoke and said coldly.

"Grandma, what happened today should be done soon. Or can you ask grandma to pick out that maid and protect her in grandma's yard to protect her?" Shao Wanru raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Rou. vocal channel.

"Presumptuous!" the madam scolded, asking her, a dignified lady from the Duke's palace, to protect a maid. What kind of rules is this?

"Grandma, I'll spare my time for a while. I just asked grandma to be a witness to clear my name." Shao Wanru seemed to have heard the rebuke from the concubine, and still said, then he raised his eyes and looked at Shao Jie'er, with a few words. Very provocative: "Second sister, don't you dare!"
