When Ji Zhen returned, he specially went to the front of Xiao Liu's courtyard. The people in the courtyard all stood outside the house with flushed faces, not daring to speak. Ji Zhen sneered as she returned to her own courtyard. After drinking some cold tea, she regained her senses.
"Reporting to the Miss, the servants of the Liushi hid it from the outside world." When Cui Er thought back to the commotion she heard in the courtyard of Liushi, her ears immediately turned red.
"Where's the guest we invited today?" Although Ji Zhen asked this, he knew in his heart that after such a huge incident, the Ji Mansion would definitely not leave these people here to watch a joke.
Once he entered the room, Ji Qin sat at the head of the table with a rigid face. Ji Zhong sat at the side with a pale face, while Xiao Liu and a man dressed in clothes kneeled on the floor.
Secondly, the men of the Ji Mansion felt that they were dirty, and even if they looked at the Liushi, they felt that they were dirty themselves. Ji Zhong had no choice but to come. If not for his unwell body, he would have already kicked Liushi's heart.
Liushi wailed and wailed about her wrongdoings. When she saw Old Liu entering the house, she immediately crawled over and cried, "Aunt, Aunt, tell them that I was wronged!"
When he saw Ji Zhen behind Old Liu, the Xiao Liu actually couldn't hold back and crawled back up, crying as if she was going to pinch Ji Zhen's neck, "You little bitch, it's you. You definitely swapped the wine with me.
"Pah!" Ji Zhen immediately slapped Xiao Liu, "You should know that I was the one who picked up the wine from the table. If you were poisoned, how could the others be fine!"
"You must have changed the wine! It was clearly the Seven Sentiments Powder in the cup of wine I gave you! If it wasn't for you, how could I have drunk that glass of wine! " Xiao Liu roared out everything she had to say, and all that she shouldn't say. She completely did not notice that Old Liu and Ji Qin's expression were turning uglier and uglier.
The Old Liu was angry at Xiao Liu for saying this, but the Ji Qin was angry at the Hou Mansion's backyard for saying this. She was angry at the fact that such a small concubine actually dared to poison direct daughter!
"Who is the person that is in cahoots with you?" Ji Zhen sat down beside Ji Qin, without any concealment or shyness, she looked at the people kneeling in front of him.
"Reporting to Miss, this lowly one is a servant in the courtyard of Madame." The man was quite open and upright as he lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
"Oh? I don't remember when this aunt could be called Madame! Also, why would there be a man as a servant in the inner chamber of the backyard? "Get back to the truth!" Although Ji Qin was old, his words were filled with vigor, and with a single question, he no longer dared to say a word.
"Little, little …" The man was rendered speechless by the question, but he still tried to defend himself.
"Speak!" Ji Qin roared angrily. She was so shocked that the teacup in her hands couldn't even hold properly and shattered on the ground. The already guilty Old Liu became even more uneasy this time.
"Since you don't want to say it, Old Ancestor doesn't need to ask, I think the two of them are in love, and want to be a couple from the Yellow Springs later on, why not help them? According to the clan rules, a woman's pig cage, a man will be beaten to death, a mat will be rolled up, and they will be thrown into the cemetery to feed the wild dogs!" When Ji Zhong heard this, his face immediately turned green.
Ji Zhen and White Impermanence were so shocked that they hurriedly forced the words out of their mouths like beans.
"I beg Miss to spare my life, this lowly one was specially hired by Aunt Liu to ruin my Miss's reputation. I just don't know why Aunt Liu went to bed later, but, this isn't a small matter!" This person was so scared that his entire body started to tremble. After a while, a fishy smell came out.
"Men, lock this man in the dark room first!" Ji Zhen used a handkerchief to cover his nose and mouth, ordering someone to drag him down.
Liushi was so scared that her whole body was trembling, but she didn't dare to say anything as she sat beside Old Liu. She knew that if she said it out, Old Liu would make her wish that she was dead.
"Speak!" When did you have your baby tie up in the dark?! " Ji Zhong was so angry that he started to bang his hands on the table, causing the teacup on the table to shake.
"Oh? Old master, don't you know? From the moment Master started favoring Ji Zhen, Master, you know that I have already lost hope in you. I even gave my only son to Ji Zhen, this slut, to raise. What about me, do you remember when you promised me that you would love me for life and that you would give me the position of wife so that I could become the Madame?! "
"Hmph, there are so many unsatisfied women like you in the backyard!" Hou Mansion hasn't given you enough! You're still not satisfied! " In the end, Ji Zhong couldn't take his anger anymore, he got up and kicked Liushi's chest, "Go and die!"
"Cough cough, old master, do you know that I stand guard by myself in the courtyard every day and watch the trees in the courtyard take root, sprout and fall leaves? I can actually count clearly how many leaves fall every day!" Liushi laughed with blood at the corner of his mouth, but he suddenly laughed crazily, "I hate you, I hate you!"
Ji Zhen realized that Liushi's eyes held a hint of pride, because right now, Ji Zhong's eyes were filled with regret. Ji Zhen really is supporting her forehead, how could her father be moved so easily.
"Father, do we need to know that this Liushi has brought father a strange hat?" Ji Zhen chuckled as she looked at Ji Zhong, "Have you called your daughter here to handle this matter?"
After Ji Zhong heard this, he suddenly sat down on the chair like a deflated ball, "I'll let you deal with it!"
Liushi's expression was as if she was suddenly strangled by the neck, frozen in mid air, not daring to say a word.
