A nanny?
Si Jinxing looked at the figure who was holding the wall and walking tremblingly inside with a smile.
This matter is becoming more and more interesting!
Several people in the crowd said:
"Yes, it was a woman who claimed to be the Si family's nanny. She gave me one ounce of silver and asked me to spread the news on the street."
"Me too, me too, I only told that to a few people!"
"That man only gave me half a pound of silver and told me to bring my wife and children to cause trouble outside the mansion..."
"That woman didn't tell us that the county lady received the imperial edict and headed north according to the emperor's order! We are so wronged!"
That's how people are.
They all have a herd mentality. When one person confesses, several or dozens of them will follow suit, and in the end, more than half of them will confess.
Because of the large number of people, not all of them could be brought back to Jingzhao Prefecture.
Zhu Jingchuan, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, ordered people to register these people on the spot.
However, those common people who attacked Si Junshan were not so lucky. How could they be let off easily for assaulting an imperial official?
Zhu Jingchuan glanced at the two men with weapons and thought:
No matter how brave ordinary people are, they would not bring swords and knives to cause trouble.
We cannot be careless about this matter!
He called the officer over, had the two men escorted down, and walked up to Si Jinxing, saying respectfully:
"Princess, I'll leave this matter to your humble servants to review and handle!"
Si Jinxing nodded and said, "Please trouble you, Master Zhu."
Zhu Jingchuan turned back to Si Junshan and said, "General Si, goodbye!"
As for the rumormonger, since he was a maid of the Si family, this was a private matter of the Si family, so he should not interfere.
Those who watched the riot not only had to hand over all the one or two taels of silver and half a tael of silver they collected, but also had their names registered in the Jingzhao Prefecture. If they made mistakes again in the future, they would probably be punished twice as severely!
It's really a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken!
Si Jinxing sighed lightly. She really didn’t want to stay in the Si family for even a single day!
When everyone returned to the mansion, Si Junshan ordered all the housewives and maids over the age of 30 to gather in the front yard.
He looked at the man and woman kneeling on the ground and said coldly:
"Later, you will open your eyes wide, look carefully, and find out the woman who told you to spread rumors!"
The two men were so frightened that they dared not breathe. They nodded in agreement, lowering their upper bodies very low.
Si Jinxing sat in a large chair, took out a handful of melon seeds, and said while eating them:
"My dear grandmother, where are you going? Come and watch a play with me and eat some melon seeds."
At this moment, the old lady was walking towards the hanging flower gate step by step with her waist stiff.
She is now extremely annoyed with this second girl. How come those eyes can see everything?
She paused, turned around, and saw that Si Junshan had also turned his gaze to her.
The old lady had a gloomy face and didn't even look at Si Jinxing. She just said to Si Junshan in a bad mood:
"I was injured, so I went back first!"
Si Jinxing smiled and said, "It is said that one should obey his father at home, obey his husband after marriage, and obey his son after his death.
But I see that General Si’s words are just nonsense in the mansion, no one listens!
When the old lady heard this, her face darkened and she opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Si Jinxing watched her walk back and sit in the chair opposite, with a look of obvious panic on her face.
Not long after, Wen came with Si Jinyi and Si Jinheng. Seeing Si Jinxing eating melon seeds, she felt relieved.
A figure walked out from behind the flower wall of the corridor. It was Si Jinyun, the third daughter of the Si family.
She looked at the heavy red door, a faint light flashed in her eyes, she took a deep breath, and said:
"Let's go."
Lianxiang hurriedly followed and walked towards the front yard.
When they arrived, all the mothers and maids over 30 years old in the general's mansion were already standing in the front yard.
Si Jinyun looked into the hall and saw the lazy and indifferent look on the face of the woman in plain clothes, which deeply hurt her eyes.
When did her expression become so similar to the Ninth Prince's?
When Si Junshan saw that everyone was gathered, he said coldly:
"Go, look carefully one by one, and see which evil woman dares to spread such rumors!"
The man and woman kneeling on the ground raised their bodies slightly and looked carefully at the old woman opposite them.
First row, no.
The second row still shook their heads.
The third row, or not.
Si Junshan slammed the table and scolded:
"Did you really see it clearly?"
Seeing the two of them nod affirmatively, he asked again, "Are these all the maids in the mansion?"
The butler stepped forward and said, "Yes. All are here."
Si Jinxing raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at the old lady with an unnatural expression, and then raised her voice to the two people on the ground:
"Tell me, what does that man look like?
Black, white, fat, thin, tall, short, age, accent, clothes, fabric, expression, just name it all you can think of!
Otherwise, this county lady has the right to suspect that you are evading your responsibilities and lying to the Jingzhao prefect!"
Upon hearing this, the man kowtowed and said, "I'll think about it carefully!"
The woman spoke first, without hesitation, "That nanny is very dark."
black?
Si Jinxing glanced at the maids standing in the yard and saw Mother Lin standing in the first row with a very bad look on her face.
She asked slowly, "Mother Lin, I've been thinking about which maid in our house has a darker complexion?"
When Mother Lin heard this, her knees went weak and she immediately knelt on the ground, looking panicked and saying:
"Second Miss, you are joking. I don't know what you are talking about."
Si Jinxing nodded, threw the melon seeds in his hand on the table, clapped his hands, and said:
"How come you don't know what I'm talking about? I heard that Mother Lin has been very busy these days!"
Si Junshan also understood something and frowned, "What are you hiding?"
Mother Lin relied on the fact that she was an elder of Heyunyuan and was used to being arrogant in the mansion, but in the final analysis, she was also a servant.
Now, when she faced Si Junshan, the head of the Si family, she felt cramps in her calves.
Mother Lin couldn't help crying, "General, please understand! I really didn't know!"
Si Jinxing narrowed her eyes slightly. Could it be that she guessed wrong?
At this moment, the doorman came in and reported:
"General, someone has arrived from Prince Mo Ying's mansion, saying they're here to entertain the Second Young Miss."
Hearing this, Si Junshan glanced at his second daughter, who had a cold expression on her face, and nodded, "Ask him in."
Si Jinxing curled her lips. What fun could there be with that straight guy?
Not long after, Mo Qiu strode into the yard with a large sack on his shoulder!
"Princess, this is the fun the prince gave you."
As he spoke, he put the sack on the ground and untied the rope at the mouth of the sack.
The things inside were freed and started moving immediately!
When everyone in the yard saw this, they all gasped!
Inside that sack was...
