Chapter 13 Absolutely No Mistake
Wang Min was a little worried.
She couldn't believe that the child she raised would do such a foolish thing.
Even if she said it, it was an accidental slip of the tongue. Those "uninnocent" and vicious words could never have come from Yuan Wanru's mouth.
But what evidence did the old lady have that made her so sure?
Before, the old lady summoned her over to question her about this matter and wanted to punish Wanru by making her kneel in the ancestral hall, but she immediately refused.
Old Madam Lu disliked Wanru, and she had always seen it clearly. She never thought that Madam Lu would be so confused that she convicted Wanru without even giving her a chance to defend herself.
How could she tolerate her child being treated like this?
Under her insistence, Mrs. Lu reluctantly agreed to confront Wanru in front of the hall.
Wang Min took the opportunity to ask someone to find Lu Jiangnian as well.
Wanru has always been not good at speaking, so I'm afraid that in a while, she and Jiang Nian will have to protect her and help her clear her name.
Wang Min turned her head and saw her son had a calm expression on his face, not taking the matter seriously at all. This made her very unhappy and she glared at him secretly.
Surprisingly, this person who usually has sharp reactions was surprisingly slow at this moment. He just stared at the teacup in his hand, as if he wanted to study the pattern on it thoroughly.
What's the point of having a son? He's as dumb as a wooden stake and can't even read an eye.
Wang Min turned her head to the other side, wanting to comfort Yuan Wanru, but saw her holding a piece of cake to her lips and eating it happily.
Wang Min: …
Now they look like a couple.
It should have been a stressful time, but they were only thinking about eating and drinking.
Lu Jiangnian saw out of the corner of his eye that his mother had a slightly aggrieved expression, and the woman next to her quickly stuffed another piece of cake into her mouth.
He had already experienced her speed in eating, and in the short time she was waiting for someone, she had quietly eaten four pieces of snacks.
cut.
It was unnecessary for his mother to call him over.
Yuan Wanru's calmness was enough to prove that she would be able to escape unscathed.
Thinking about that day when she secretly made Princess Le'an so angry that she was fuming, it was certain that her grandmother would not get any good result.
With nothing else to do, there's nothing wrong with watching a play for some fun.
Lu Jiangnian withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup and looked towards the door.
I saw two servants pushing two little maids into the house.
The two maids were both wearing plain dresses of third-class maids, one light blue and the other light green.
They lowered their heads, knelt on the ground, and dared not speak.
Madam Lu put down the teacup that was soothing her throat and stared at the two of them fiercely: "It's these two slaves who are talking nonsense."
She pointed at the little maid in light blue clothes and said, "You, repeat everything you said here this morning from beginning to end."
The maid was so frightened that she dared not breathe. Her lips trembled, and she was pulled by someone before she could utter a word: "I obey your command."
The room was silent, with only the trembling voice of the little maidservant to be heard.
"Yesterday at 11:00 pm, it was so dark that the road was almost invisible. Liu Yan, who was with the Madam, went to Momei Pavilion to pack her things. When she came out, she met me."
"She was holding a lot of things in her hands, so I kindly helped her carry the lantern and asked her why she went to Momei Pavilion alone so late at night."
"Liu Yan then complained to me that because Miss Liang was incompetent, she was unable to cure the old lady early, which disrupted the wedding night of the eldest master and the eldest young lady's wife. The eldest young lady was unhappy and sent her to the Momei Pavilion to get some small items to have fun."
"Liu Yan also said that she heard that the eldest young master and Miss Liang had been together in Yanmen County. The eldest young lady was very unhappy. She joked in the room that maybe Miss Liang... had lost her... innocence on the way to Yanmen County."
"presumptuous."
Madam Lu couldn't stand it any longer and slapped the table: "Listen, you guys said I wronged her, what else do you have to say now?"
Liang Yusong fell on her knees, crying breathlessly: "Old Madam, these are all slanders. I went to Yanmen County only to help the victims."
"I have servants around me, and I am innocent. Why do you want to slander me like this?"
Madam Lu touched her head distressedly and said, "Good child, don't cry. The innocent will be innocent. The Lu family will definitely give you an explanation."
She raised her eyelids, and her cold gaze swept across Wang Min, finally falling on Yuan Wanru.
"Do you admit your mistake?"
Yuan Wanru stood up slowly and even calmly reached out to adjust the butterfly-shaped pearl hairpin on her temples.
She walked calmly towards the maid, and the goose yellow skirt with pomegranate pattern drew beautiful waves and swayed gracefully with her movements.
"I have a few questions for you."
The maid looked up, her pupils shrank, her eyes dodged, and she said hesitantly, "Excuse me, Madam Young Master."
"Where do you work?"
"I am from the flower room."
"The flower house is not close to the Momei Pavilion. It takes a quarter of an hour to walk there. It was already dark yesterday. What were you doing at the Momei Pavilion?"
"I forgot to pick up a pot of flowers."
She hesitated for a long time, her forehead sweating with anxiety, before she finally spoke clearly.
Zhou Fang sneered, "Who cares why she went there? This matter has nothing to do with your slander of Miss Liang."
Yuan Wanru was relaxed, with a sense of laziness all over her body. She looked at Zhou Fang with a faint sneer on her lips: "Second Aunt has a superficial view of things and doesn't understand the reason. Others are thoughtful and will naturally understand the purpose of my asking these questions."
"Look, everyone is listening very quietly."
Zhou Fang's face suddenly turned red. What a stupid girl! She actually implied that she was stupid!
The old lady had originally planned to follow Zhou Fang's words and scold Yuan Wanru for being mysterious, but now she was in a difficult position to speak.
Lu Jiangnian curled the corners of his lips slightly and thought, it’s worth staying to watch the show.
This woman was very eloquent, and he wanted to see how she would continue her act.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked down at the maid: "How many years have you been working in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion?"
"Five years."
"I remember the flower pots in the greenhouse were quite large. When you usually gave or received flowers, you probably held them in both hands, right?"
The maid thought for a moment and said, "Yes."
For a moment, the person who thought of the idea had a strange look on his face.
Yuan Wanru asked again: "Have you seen Liu Yan before? Did you recognize the wrong person yesterday?"
The maid said firmly: "Liu Yan is the head maidservant beside the eldest young lady's wife. She has spoken to many people. I have seen her many times and there is absolutely no way I could have mistaken her."
The old lady didn't have the patience to listen any further: "What exactly do you want to ask?"
The girl looked at her grandmother with eyes as clear as water, and suddenly a wanton smile bloomed on her face.
The rippling water waves flowed in her eyes, sparkling, dazzling, charming and alluring.
Lu Jiangnian met her eyes and was stunned for a moment.
"Ma'am, I have finished my questions."
"There is one thing she didn't lie about. I did send someone to Momei Pavilion at 12:00 yesterday."
Eh, she suddenly admitted it?
There was a flash of joy in Liang Yusong's eyes, but he always felt something was wrong.
The old lady said to Wang Min arrogantly, "Look, this is the person you are protecting. Come, send her to the ancestral hall and make her kneel for three days and three nights..."
Yuan Wanru's face suddenly darkened: "The old lady made a mistake. What I mean is that except for that point, she lied about everything."
"This matter is purely a frame-up."
