Everyone looked over and their gazes fell on Gu Jin.

Gu Jin looked at the little maid kneeling on the ground, then tilted his head to look at Murong Qing, and slightly turned his body, "You killed someone?"

Murong Qing: “…” Sister, why do I seem to think that everyone is talking about you?

"How dare you! How can we allow you to slander the guests of the Jiang Mansion at will!" Jiang Fengqi felt that the servants in the mansion today were more outrageous than each other, and some were even inexplicable.

Jiang Wanyue's eyes moved slightly, and she understood in her heart.

This time, the aunt really spent a lot of money to deal with Gu Jin. I'm afraid Gu Jin will not be able to escape unscathed this time.

“Miss, how dare I make up stories and wrongly accuse the guests of Jiang Mansion? I really saw it with my own eyes.” The little maid had two tears in her eyes, looking stubborn and pitiful.

Li Ying'er sneered in her heart, but showed an expression of disbelief on her face, "Cousin Gu Jin, Xiao Tao didn't mean to spill the wine on you, and Miss Jiang also compensated you with two pieces of Shu brocade, why do you have to take revenge and kill someone!"

Gu Rou also covered her mouth in surprise, "Big sister, is this true?"

"How could it be false? Someone saw it with their own eyes. Who else could it be but her?" Li Ying'er couldn't wait to convict Gu Jin.

She had long disliked Gu Jin. How could such a fool have the bad luck to marry into the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion and live such a comfortable and wealthy life?

Gu Jin then realized it belatedly and said to Murong Qing: "Are they doubting me?"

Murong Qing: “…” Is this hard to tell?

"You are still trying to argue when there is evidence and witnesses. You won't cry until you see the coffin!"

Jiang Fengqi disagreed and said, "Miss Li, we can't jump to conclusions before the matter is fully investigated."

Li Ying'er's father was the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel under the command of the eldest master of the Jiang family. She often visited the Jiang residence with her mother, so she spoke more casually and warmly. "Miss, you don't know, my cousin is always naughty and spoiled. She would beat and scold the servants if she was not satisfied.

My aunt remembered that her parents died early, so she couldn't bear to blame her too much. She could only give more subsidies to the servants to avoid resentment. "

After hearing what Li Ying'er said, the men who had just admired Gu Jin's beauty shook their heads. They didn't expect that Gu Jin had such a vicious heart. Women like her would avoid her as much as possible.

Li Ziheng laughed out loud, and glanced at a few people with the corner of his eyes and said: "Why are you acting like this? No one looks down on you, whether they are good or not, it's your turn to be happy here."

Several young masters blushed at what Li Ziheng said, but they dared not refute.

Everyone knows that Li Ziheng is a madman. If you don't accept his scolding, he will beat you up.

Gu Jin glanced at Li Ziheng and thought that his mouth could be quite useful if used in the right place.

Gu Jin looked at Li Ying'er who looked smug and sighed softly, "Cousin Li, you also know that I was spoiled by my second aunt."

Li Ying'er was startled, and then she saw Gu Jin showing a sad expression, "Who would be willing to be a fool who is laughed at by others?

I also want to be as eloquent as my second sister, and be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But my second aunt loved me so much that she couldn't bear to let me suffer any hardship. Every time, she would lock my second sister at home to study and practice calligraphy, and take me out to play.

I was naturally happy at that time, but when I grew up and found out that I was useless, it was too late. But I know that Second Aunt treats me very well. After all, if she didn't like me, how could she be willing to spoil me! "

Gu Rou's face turned pale, and she was afraid of being misunderstood and said hurriedly: "Big sister, it was obviously you who didn't want to study when you were a child..."

"I still remember that my second sister was spanked on the hand by my second aunt because she was too playful, but my second aunt loved me and never hit or scolded me." Gu Jin looked complacent.

Everyone was silent, thinking that Gu Jin was the biggest fool in the world.

They are clearly praising you too much!

The whole capital city was told that Li was a virtuous woman, and that she held her brother's sister-in-law's daughter in the palm of her hand. Now it seemed clear that she had ill intentions.

Li Ying'er also knew that she had said something wrong, so she quickly brought the topic back to the topic, "Don't change the subject, we are talking about your murder now!"

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Gu Jin asked back slowly.

Li Ying'er gritted her teeth and said, "Although I didn't see it, someone else did."

"Oh." Gu Jin said "Oh" lightly, raised his hand and pointed at the little maid and said: "Actually, I saw it too. She was the one who pushed the plum into the lotus pond."

Murong Qing quickly reminded him in a low voice: "You are wrong, it's not Li Zi, it's Xiao Tao."

"Almost the same." Gu Jin waved his hand and said to Li Ying'er with a smile: "Now that we both have our own opinions, who should my cousin believe?"

Without waiting for Li Ying'er to speak, Gu Jin said sadly to himself: "I think my cousin will definitely believe her. After all, you have disliked me since childhood. Every day when you come to the uncle's house, you only play with my second sister and laugh at me for being stupid..."

Li Ying'er: “…” This little bitch!

"I actually have the same situation as you. Whenever I think of the feeling of being isolated and ignored, I still feel sad." Li Ziheng said with deep understanding.

Everyone looked at it with complicated expressions. Are they isolating you? It's you who is about to beat everyone in Beijing!

"You...you are clearly making trouble!" Li Ying'er was very angry. She didn't understand why the usually stupid Gu Jin was so difficult today.

"How can it be unreasonable to just discuss the matter? Do I have to let you accuse me of a crime I don't have?" Gu Jinyu glanced at the little maid kneeling on the ground, "You said you saw me kill Xiao Tao with your own eyes, so why didn't you call for help? Why didn't you expose me in front of Madam Jiang?"

"I didn't see you kill anyone, but..."

"You don't see it now?" Gu Jin spread his hands and said to Madam Jiang, "Madam Jiang, your maid is really confusing."

Madam Jiang stared at the maid coldly and asked sternly, "What is the truth of the matter? Tell the truth word by word without hiding anything!"

"Yes!" The maid shuddered and hurriedly explained, "I did not see Third Young Lady Xie kill Xiao Tao with my own eyes, but I did see Third Young Lady and Xiao Tao arguing on the stone bridge over the lotus pond.

I was busy going to the kitchen to get some wine, so I didn’t stay for too long. If I had known that was the last time I would see Xiao Tao, I would have stopped it no matter what…”

The little maid sobbed and was very sad.

"Thank you, Madam Third Young Master, what do you have to say?" Although Mrs. Jiang's tone was light, her eyes were cold.

The imperial concubine asked her to teach Gu Jin a lesson. She originally wanted to find someone to destroy his innocence, but this little bitch was so cunning that she exposed her plan intentionally or unintentionally.

However, after Xiaotao was sent away, she immediately had a new idea.

Xiao Tao is not a slave. The murderer must pay with his life. This time it is not just a matter of ruining his reputation.

Gu Jin saw that Madam Jiang had finally revealed her true colors and was about to speak when he heard a servant from the Jiang residence come to report, "Madam, General Xie is here..."
