As everyone exclaimed, the little maid looked up in confusion and surprise.

Gu Jin's green dress, which was originally embroidered with daffodils, turned into a light sky blue. Even the daffodils on the dress turned into a picture of cranes with their necks raised and wings spread, which added a touch of cool poetry compared to the elegant lotus green.

Li Ziheng curled the corners of his lips. She really has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

The shock in the little maid's eyes gradually turned into horror. To her, the scene before her was nothing short of a mysterious magic.

"How could this happen..." She murmured in disbelief, her body growing colder with fear, her back already wet with cold sweat.

Murong Qing came back to her senses and immediately questioned, "Just now you swore that Ah Jin was wearing a green dress with daffodils embroidered on it and had an argument with Xiao Tao, but from here, Ah Jin was clearly wearing a blue dress!

Tell me! Why did you frame Ah Jin? "

Ah Jin?

Xie Ran glanced sideways at Murong Qing.

Could such a cold-hearted and ungrateful woman actually make good friends?

"I..." The little maid's face was as pale as paper. She stammered and didn't know how to explain for a moment.

She had no idea there was such a thing as peacock brocade in the world. How could a piece of clothing change into so many different shapes? It was simply unbelievable.

Gu Jin walked down the stone bridge and stood in front of the little maid. She was slender and had cold eyes. She didn't say anything but she had an invisible deterrent power. "What else do you have to say now?"

"I...I remembered it wrongly, it seemed to be a blue skirt..." The maid's voice became smaller and smaller, as if she knew that her excuse was really weak and ridiculous.

"But you said just now that you remembered it clearly, and even saw the daffodils clearly." Gu Jin asked calmly, but the little maid was already sweating profusely.

"I...I thought..."

"You think I was the only one in the backyard of Jiang's house at that time, and everyone knows that Xiao Tao and I had some grudges, so as long as you insist that I killed Xiao Tao, I will not be able to excuse myself, right?

You think I'm wearing an ordinary blue skirt and you can say whatever you want, right? "

Gu Jin's voice was cold, and every word seemed to deal a heavy blow to the little maid.

The little maid was already on the verge of collapse. Madam Jiang did not expect that Gu Jin would have such a precious peacock brocade, and she was very angry.

She was just thinking about how to start the conversation and let the matter pass. Although there were flaws in the maid's confession, it did not mean that Gu Jin was not a suspect at all.

But just as Mrs. Jiang was thinking about how to start, she suddenly heard a gentle voice like the breeze, "I can testify for Miss Gu."

He just heard someone calling her Gu Jin, and thought that this was her maiden name.

It is radiant and beautiful, like a blooming flower. It is really a great name.

"Jiang Yu?" After seeing who it was, the shock in Mrs. Jiang's eyes was no less than when she learned that Gu Jin was wearing peacock brocade.

Jiang Yu was a bastard's son born to his aunt. He was very intelligent and was highly regarded by the old man of the Jiang family when he started to learn at the age of three. He ranked among the top three in the imperial examination when he was twelve years old.

Unfortunately, he was in poor health and had suffered from heart disease since childhood. During a trip, he suffered a heart attack and accidentally fell off a high platform, thus coming to an end in his official career.

After sighing and lamenting for a while, people gradually forgot about this young talent, and Jiang Yu became a invisible person in the mansion.

He was a quiet person and seldom left the yard. Madam Jiang was too lazy to make things difficult for a paralyzed bastard and let him fend for himself in the mansion.

Now, seeing Jiang Yu suddenly appear in the crowd, he was still so graceful even when sitting in a wheelchair, which made Mrs. Jiang feel as if she was in another world, as if she had returned to the days when she was shrouded in Jiang Yu's brilliance.

"Mother, my son just had a heart attack in the backyard. Fortunately, Miss Gu gave him medicine and his life is safe." Jiang Yu nodded and smiled faintly at Gu Jin, and said slowly: "I didn't have time to thank Miss Gu just now, I hope Miss Gu will forgive me."

Gu Jin didn't expect Jiang Yu to come forward to testify for her. After all, this kind of thing could get you into trouble if you're not careful.

Xie Ran glanced at Jiang Yu with some surprise, and raised the corners of his lips meaningfully.

Gu Jin had only been in Jiang's house for a few hours, but he had done so much work for her. He really had some skills.

"When my son saw that Miss Gu had no maids accompanying her, he ordered Changsheng to escort Miss Gu back to the banquet. As a result, Miss Gu had no chance to harm Xiaotao."

After Jiang Yu took the silver and returned, he heard that something had happened at the banquet. After asking around, he learned that someone had died. Although he didn't know Gu Jin's name at that time, he intuitively felt that this matter might be related to her, so he immediately ordered the servant Changsheng to push him over.

Changsheng stepped forward timidly and said, "Madam, what the Second Young Master said is true."

Changsheng left Jiang Yu alone to go out for a drink because of his greed, but he didn't expect Jiang Yu to suddenly suffer a heart attack.

If the old man knew that Jiang Yu was almost killed because of his negligence, he would definitely beat him to death, so he could only do as Jiang Yu ordered.

Mrs. Jiang almost gasped. She didn't expect that this usually quiet bastard would show up and ruin her plans at the critical moment!

"Madam Third Young Master, it's a blessing that you gave me the medicine to save my second brother, but it was the servants in our house that almost caused you to suffer an unjust accusation. I'm so sorry." Jiang Fengqi felt deeply sorry to Gu Jin, and she also realized that what happened today was unusual.

The third young lady?

After hearing Jiang Fengqi's address, Jiang Yu noticed that Gu Jin was indeed wearing a woman's bun. However, her actions when they met were so uncouth that he overlooked it for a moment.

Looking at Xie Ran standing next to Gu Jin, Jiang Yu lowered his eyelashes.

Yes, how could such a kind and beautiful woman go unappreciated?

The other party is Xie Ran, who is known as the first son of the Jade-faced General. They are really a perfect match.

"Miss Jiang didn't wrongly accuse me, you don't have to feel sorry." Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor, Gu Jin could tell the difference clearly.

She looked at Mrs. Jiang with a smile on her face, and the gleam in her eyes hurt Mrs. Jiang's eyes.

"Mrs. Jiang, why do you think this maid would go to so much trouble to wrongly accuse me?"

Mrs. Jiang's lips trembled and she looked at the maid coldly.

A trace of fear flashed across the eyes of the little maid, and she knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Madam, please spare my life. Xiao Tao and I are like sisters. If it weren't for Madam Xie, Xiao Tao would not have been driven out of the Jiang Mansion, and she might not have died.

So I was filled with resentment and wrongly accused the Third Young Madam."

"How dare you! How dare a mere slave to slander a distinguished guest? Wait and see how I will deal with you later!" Madam Jiang scolded in a cold and harsh voice, then turned to Gu Jin with a friendly expression and said, "Madam Third Young Master, I never thought that this slave would be so bold.

This is all the fault of the Jiang family. You have been wronged. After I have cleared the door, I will prepare a generous gift and send it to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion to calm you down."

Gu Jin nodded and said, "Mrs. Jiang, you are too kind. Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been resolved and it has not had any impact on me."

Madam Jiang didn't expect Gu Jin to be so easy to talk to. Just when she thought that Gu Jin knew what was happening, she heard her say, "So Madam Jiang, you don't have to spend too much money on preparing a generous gift. Although I was a little frightened, I will surely recover after a period of recuperation. If Madam Jiang feels sorry for it, just prepare 10,000 taels of silver for me."

Mrs. Jiang: “…”
