The cannon fodder of fast time travel has to struggle

Chapter 558
The exquisite hairpin shines brightly in Wang Ma's hands.The way everyone looked at Wu Ma changed. No one expected that an old man like her would do such a thing.

When Wu Ma saw the hairpin, her expression calmed down, and she didn't open her mouth to explain. She remained unmoved even though Wang Ma's tongue was shining brightly.

"Sister Wu, you and I have been servant girls who have been serving Madam since we were young. I didn't expect you to guard yourself. If the young lady didn't think about it, how long would you have to hide it?" Wang Ma was heartbroken, and she turned around and begged for Wu Ma Feeling affectionate, "Ma'am, Sister Wu was also confused for a while. They are all slaves in the mansion. The old slave is bold. I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive her this time."

Ji Meiniang didn't speak, and Xiang Wan interjected, "Mom, since what you lost belongs to your daughter, can you hand it over to your daughter for interrogation?"

Ji Meiniang nodded in agreement, and Xiang Wan took the hairpin and walked around the hall, seeing everyone's expressions, and then ordered someone to tie up one of the maids who were sweeping the garden.

Huan'er had an unbelievable expression on her face, her hands were tied, she was forced to kneel down on the ground, and she cried out for her innocence.Everyone was talking about it, not knowing what kind of medicine Xiang Wan sold in the gourd.After Wang Ma got up, she glanced at it, and immediately lowered her head, her hands tightened unconsciously.

Xiang Wan walked up to her side, sniffed lightly with her nose, and said, "You haven't showered for a few days, right? You smell strange."

"Miss, this servant has to change clothes every day, and I dare not wear unwashed clothes, which will dirty the eyes of the master. If you are arrested because of this, this servant will not accept it!"

Huan'er is twenty-eight years old and has reached the age to marry.It is understandable that I usually love beauty.But her mistake was that she changed two clothes today.

Although the daily work of a maid is not exhausting, she is not free enough to change clothes as often as the master of the house.Moreover, she had light makeup on her face.

Xiang Wan straightened up, said with a faint smile, "Of course not, because the clothes on your body don't have the scent of peach blossoms, Miss Ben, I don't like it."

"Your maidservant is a maidservant, so how can there be peach blossoms on your clothes? Clean the peach garden every day, servant girl..." As she spoke, Huan'er's face turned pale in an instant, as if someone had strangled her neck. What happened next? Can't say it.

"Why don't you talk anymore? Are you dumb? This is not good! If you are taken down at this time, maybe there will be ghosts at any time, choking your neck, so that you will never see the person you want to see again. Choke your neck ~~That is the ugliest way to die, the tongue will grow a foot long, that scene... tsk tsk tsk!"

"Miss, please stop scaring Huan'er, she... we... we are timid."

Yuan'er, a maid who was on good terms with Huan'er, couldn't bear to see her friend being frightened by Xiang Wan, so she bravely spoke out, but unfortunately, her voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.

Seeing Xiang Wan's eyes on Yuan'er, Huan'er calmed down and said calmly: "Miss, even if you want to arrest me, you have to provide real evidence. Although I am just a maid, if I am wronged for no reason, The slave girl crashed to death in this hall. At that time, you, the eldest lady, will make random guesses about the crime of wrongly accusing the slave girl, and it will spread throughout the capital. It is not a pity for the slave girl to die, but the reputation of the eldest lady will be completely ruined. Which is the least? Which is more important, I hope the young lady thinks twice."

Xiang Wan nodded. Those who dare to do such a thing must not be cowardly.If she kept silent or denied it, it would not be easy to talk.

"Everyone here, have you ever seen Huan'er's dress? You don't need to be too careful, just clarify the color of the clothes she usually wears."

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, some of them wanted to speak, but under the eyes of the people beside them, they all stopped talking.

Xiang Wan slammed the table and said sternly: "If you find that what you said is untrue, or if you conceal it, don't blame me for being heartless!"

As soon as the eldest lady showed her power, someone started.

"Okay, I seem to have seen her wearing taupe-colored clothes."

"The blue ones are worn too."

"Light green and sky blue, I saw her wearing them a few days ago."

"And one in black."

"That's right, there are dark lines on it. I asked about it at the time, but she didn't say anything."

Everyone talked a lot, and Xiang Wan had a general idea, so he turned to Yuan'er and asked, "You are Huan'er's good friend and roommate. Are the colors of the clothes she wears correct? Knows best. Don't lie, otherwise..."

Yuan'er was startled, and turned to look at Huan'er, but Xiang Wan blocked her view.

Everyone was waiting for her answer, Yuan'er was flustered for a while, and then under Xiang Wan's gaze, she was defeated.

"Her favorites are blue and light green, because she says they suit her complexion best. She also has one or two of the other colors, which are very worn. She always wears old clothes when she goes to work in the garden."

"There are clothes of all colors? So before she came here, did she ever change clothes?"

"Change, change, it's tender, tender yellow."

When everyone heard the words, they glanced at each other, and then turned their attention to Cao Ruwan's maid, Bi'er.What Bi'er is wearing today is the bright yellow maid uniform.

Cao Ruwan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "Sister, Bi'er has always liked bright yellow. But what does this have to do with Huan'er?"

"Don't worry, I just bumped my shirt, sister don't need to be nervous." Xiang Wan smiled softly at Cao Xiangwan, which made the latter's heart pound.

"It's my personal preference to have different colors of clothes. Missy doesn't even care about the color of clothes that slaves buy with monthly money, does she?"

Huan'er was dissatisfied, and Xiang Wan didn't care, "This is your freedom. This lady is not free enough to care how you spend your money. But if you don't tie you up, maybe someone will say it later. , I saw that Bi'er had been to Wu Ma's room. Although Cao Ruwan and I were not born by the same mother, she would never allow anyone to frame her maid at will. Are you right, Huan'er?"

Before everyone came back to their senses, Xiang Wan continued: "Mama Wu is very clean, so she won't do anything sneaky. Besides, if she lost something, how could she put it in her room anyway?" People searched? After the incident was exposed, if the things were really in her hands, she could take advantage of the time to check the warehouse and return the hairpins without anyone noticing. In this way, she only needs to excuse that there are too many things, and it takes a while to find them. Eyes, omissions are justifiable. Wang Ma moved quickly, and when she alarmed my mother, she tied her up. Some people have already thought of how to make Wu Ma unable to argue. While everyone is paying attention to Wang Ma's kidnapping, Huan'er You sneaked into Wu Ma's room and took the things away. But you forgot that whatever you have done will always leave traces."

"Wu Mama has the scent of saponin all year round, mixed with a little jasmine fragrance. And you have exactly this kind of smell, which is very light. This means that you have been to Mama Wu's room and stayed for a while After you came out, you changed your clothes again. If you want evidence, you must still keep that set of clothes in your room. Because you came out in a hurry, you haven’t had time to deal with it. If this is not evidence, then go to Wu People who search for things in Mom's room must know where they are hidden. You hide things in a different place from others, so you think that Wu Ma is the same as you. When people are in a hurry, they often choose subconscious behavior. So, if you still want to make an excuse, I don't mind letting you know that the search dogs are powerful. When the time comes, send them directly to the official, and you will never want to marry and have children in your life."

The last sentence was the one that hit Huan'er's deathbed.The worried eyes in the crowd, no matter how hidden they were, they could not escape Xiang Wan's eyes.

Huan'er's eyes became turbulent, and Xiang Wan continued, "On the contrary, if it's just a moment of confusion and you fell for someone else's tricks, then that's another matter."

"Miss, if I don't tell you, will you really report to the police?"

Xiang Wan nodded, and said: "It's fair, you have to be clear about it. In contrast, fame is only temporary, but innocence is for life. I don't care, and neither will the Cao family."

Huan'er bit her lip, and after struggling for a while, she finally lowered her head, "Okay, I'll say."

Wang Ma, who was listening to the trial quietly, slowly took a step back and disappeared into the crowd.
