Chapter 56 Ask for a hammer and get a hammer
Qi's mouth was still very hard. She retorted, "Yu'er is not able to distinguish right from wrong and is trying to sow discord. Mother, if there is anyone to blame for this, then Yunzhi should be blamed! If he hadn't caused these romantic debts outside and let those wild women come to the door, how could these things be involved! Yu'er is just kind-hearted."
"Shut up!" The old lady couldn't help herself and threw a teacup at hand.
Qi was frightened by the sudden appearance of the teacup. The pieces of the cup scattered everywhere, and the kneeling Shan Yu was the first to be affected. She was so scared that she only had time to cover her face with her hands.
The face was saved, but a small piece of debris cut a small cut on the back of the hand, which was not even as wide as a fingernail.
Qi's dress was soaked by the splashing tea.
Song Qingci and Shan Li, one of them leaned back immediately, while the other protected Song Qingci's face with his palm.
"Are you okay?" Shan Li looked at Song Qingci and asked.
Song Qingci shook her head. If she could be hurt to this extent, then she was too weak.
Qi found that her daughter's hand was cut, and her eyes were full of heartache. She was so angry that she didn't care about the seniority and shouted directly at the old lady, "Mother! How could you hurt Yu'er? She is a rich lady. What if she gets a scar? What should I do? Moreover, it's too ridiculous to convict the young lady of the mansion based on the words of a lowly maid! Is there any evidence? "
The old lady listened to what Qi said and looked at the wound which didn't bleed much, her eyes were filled with disappointment.
Aunt Zhang said at the right time, "Madam, please be careful with your words."
After Qi finished yelling, she regretted it. After all, she was still the old lady of this mansion, and she would lose face if she said she would go out. She bit her lip and said nothing.
"Aunt, if you want evidence, I'll give it to you." Shan Li, who originally didn't intend to speak, couldn't help but see that his aunt was disrespectful to his grandmother.
He shouted outside, "Feng Yi, come in."
When they first arrived at Jing'an Hall, Feng Yi had actually returned, but he was just guarding outside and didn't come in.
Originally, Shan Li thought that if everything went well, Feng Yi wouldn't need to show up. After all, if Feng Yi showed up, the scene might not look good at all.
Who could have thought that his second aunt would be so stubborn and unyielding? He couldn't blame her as a nephew for not giving her face.
As soon as Feng heard the order, he went straight into the main hall and saluted Shan Li.
Shan Li raised his hand slightly and said, "Show the evidence to the Second Madam."
Feng bowed and said yes, then took out a stack of papers from his arms. He handed part of it to Qi and the other part to Nanny Zhang, asking her to present it to the old lady.
"These are all confessions. There is a confession from the servant who went outside the mansion to arrange for Li to come to the general's mansion. According to his confession, he was instructed by Hongxia, the maidservant beside the second young lady, to take Li and her son away from the general's mansion and settle them down, and then found an appropriate time to bring them to the general's mansion."
"There is also a confession from the innkeeper, who admitted that he had received money from a girl and asked her to help look after Li's mother and son, and not let them leave alone until her people came to pick them up."
"There is also the confession of the little maid who came to report the news to the old lady of Jing'an Hall. The little maid was also instructed by Hongxia to come to Jing'an Hall to tell the old lady that the eldest daughter was injured and was rescued by the lady."
Feng spoke everything in detail, his voice without any ups and downs, just like a broadcasting machine.
"These people have now been detained and are awaiting their fate."
Shan Li looked at Qi and said, "Now the Li mother and son are also in the mansion. If Second Aunt still doesn't believe it, I can also ask them to come and tell me what happened after they arrived in the capital to see if it matches these confessions."
Qi looked at a loss, while Shan Yu looked shocked.
It hasn't been long since we started investigating, but we've already done such a thorough investigation. We've even obtained confessions and arrested the perpetrators.
Song Qingci looked at Qi with a sneer and complained in his heart, this guy is really asking for a hammer!
The old lady looked at the confession in her hand, and the disappointment in her eyes grew stronger.
I don't know whether I should give him a compliment, but the thing was handled very carefully, even I was included in the plan.
Thinking back to when she first learned that Xi'er was injured, she just called Shan Li over and scolded him. It was only later when she heard people talking about Ah Ci being injured that she rushed to Chi Xiao Courtyard in a hurry.
It seems that the person who was talking behind my back was also arranged by Shan Yu.
The old lady crumpled up the confession in her hand and threw it at Shan Yu. "You are so nice. You are really thorough in your work!"
Qi stood in front of Shan Yu and said, "Mother, Yu'er is still injured? You can't treat her like this!"
Hearing Qi yelling at the old lady again, Song Qingci couldn't stand it anymore.
The old lady is so cute, how could she be bullied by her daughter-in-law?
She immediately said sarcastically, "Second Aunt, you should quickly get a doctor for my second sister, otherwise the wound will heal by then."
Except for Qi's mother and daughter, everyone present felt relieved by her words, and some even wanted to laugh. The masters were too proud to laugh, and the servants did not dare to laugh.
Each of them was feeling very uncomfortable.
"You...you...are so sharp-tongued!" Qi was embarrassed by the ridicule, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only force out a few words.
"Thank you for the compliment, Second Aunt." Song Qingci accepted the description with a smile. It's good, at least it's a specialty.
The old lady looked at Song Qingci lovingly, then turned her gaze to Qi with a critical look.
"Qi, you are a lady from a famous family, but look at what your daughter has become! She is so scheming that she has even plotted against me! And you are full of dirty words and talk about love affairs all the time. Have you checked the whole story and found out some inside information?"
"You are also a woman, don't you know how important a woman's reputation is? You are making assumptions about something you don't even know the whole story about. Do you know that every word you say is like a sharp knife to that mother and son? How dare you! Don't forget that you have a daughter yourself!"
After listening to this, Song Qingci wanted to applaud the old lady.
Awesome, my grandma!
