After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Li stared at Gu Jin with bloodshot eyes, as if she was going to pounce on her and tear her to pieces the next moment.

The old lady Huo, who had been silent the whole time, raised her eyelids and said calmly, "Second Madam Gu, please be patient. Rou'er is the daughter-in-law of our Yongchang Marquis Mansion. If she is harmed by someone, we will seek justice for her."

Li gave Gu Jin a rather proud look, "Old Madam is wise."

"But..." Mrs. Huo turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said slowly, "The matter has not been clarified yet. Jin'er is also the daughter-in-law of our Yongchang Marquis Mansion. We will not wrongly accuse her with just a few words."

Li was stunned, then laughed out of anger, "Could it be that the old lady is also going to favor this little bitch?

The evidence is irrefutable, what else is there to investigate? "

Gu Rou raised her voice at the right moment, looking completely pitiful as if she had suffered a great deal of injustice.

"What kind of evidence is this?" Gu Jin found it funny. He picked up the necklace on the tray and looked at Aunt Xu with interest. He asked, "Aunt Xu, doesn't this necklace look familiar to you?"

Aunt Xu lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"This is the one my aunt gave me.

Now I just gave it to my second sister and it has become poisonous. I think it is Aunt Xu who should explain it to me, right?"

Li was stunned when she heard this. This necklace actually belonged to Aunt Xu?

Then how dare she bring the matter to the old lady and the marquis?

Li looked at Aunt Xu in confusion, but she saw her stand up and walk to the front of Marquis Yongchang, and said softly, "My Lord, do you still remember this red jade coral necklace?"

Marquis Yongchang felt that the man looked familiar just now, and only after hearing Aunt Xu's question did he completely remember him.

"Is this the one I gave you when you entered the Marquis' Mansion?"

Not long after Xu gave birth to Xie Qing, she died of illness. Marquis Yongchang was busy fighting outside and had no time to take care of Xie Qing.

He was worried that marrying a shady second wife would make Xie Qing harshly treat her, and he also didn't want to ruin her relationship by hastily getting married, so he followed the advice of Old Madam Xu and took Xu's half-sister, Aunt Xu, into the mansion.

Marquis Yongchang felt that he owed Aunt Xu something, so he was very generous with his money and property to her.

Aunt Xu nodded slightly, "My Lord, you remember correctly that this red jade and coral necklace was given to me by you.

At that time, the Marquis said that red jade coral was nourishing, so I wore it all year round. It was not until I heard that the eldest young master was about to get married that I ordered someone to send it to the Buddha for worship, intending to give it to the eldest young mistress.

Later, because the two young ladies got on the wrong sedan chair, I was afraid that this would cause unrest in the Marquis's house, so I gave this item to the third young lady. "

Aunt Xu lifted her skirt and knelt before the Marquis of Yongchang, her watery almond eyes sparkling and charming, "This was originally a token of love between the Marquis and me, and the Marquis knows best how much I value this.

I gave it to the Third Young Lady with good intentions, but I didn't expect that I would be taken advantage of.

If this really affects the eldest young master and the eldest young mistress's offspring, how can I be worthy of my sister!"

Aunt Xu bit her lips and sobbed softly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Xie Miaorong said sarcastically: "It seems that I underestimated you just now. I didn't expect that you planned to kill two birds with one stone and not even let Aunt Xu go!"

"I have no grudges against the Third Young Madam, so why would she plot against me, a concubine?" Aunt Xu never blames anyone, but she always strikes a blow at the most critical moment.

Gu Jin has no grudge against her, so he must have been instructed by someone!

Marquis Yongchang glanced at Su and raised his hand to ask Aunt Xu to stand up.

"You get up and talk first."

Aunt Xu curled up the corners of her lips slightly, and a sharp light flashed across her eyes.

She had made all the necessary preparations when she gave the ruby ​​coral necklace to Gu Jin. Even if Gu Jin accidentally discovered the secret of the necklace and reported it to the old lady and the marquis, she could take the opportunity to bite back and make it seem like she was framed by Su and Gu Jin.

Because this necklace was originally given by the Marquis, and it had been hanging on her neck all day long before. The Marquis has always trusted and valued her, so he would naturally stand on her side.

Gu Jin understood it in his heart. No wonder Aunt Xu was so confident. It turned out that she had planned this step in her mind a long time ago.

Mrs. Huo frowned and thought, "Even so, there is no evidence to prove that Jin'er was the one who did this."

Aunt Xu raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "Madam, without solid evidence, how dare I wrongly accuse the Third Young Madam?"

As soon as the words fell, a figure came forward and knelt in front of Huo.

Mrs. Huo narrowed her eyes, frowned, and asked, "Are you serving Jin'er?"

Duobao nodded, she looked at Gu Jin with full of apology, and slowly spoke with tears in her eyes, "Madam, I grew up with you and we have a deep relationship. I really can't bear to see you make mistakes again and again.

The eldest young lady is your sister from the same mansion, and as long as you sincerely repent, she will definitely forgive you."

"Duobao, why don't you tell me everything you know!" Li asked harshly, sneering in her heart.

She has kept Duobao as a chess piece for so many years, and today it finally comes in handy!

Duobao lowered his head, hiding the cold light in his eyes.

She had been serving Gu Jin since she was a child, but in the end, she was not as close to her as she was to Ruyi, a little outsider girl.

If these maids cannot be taken as concubines by their masters, they can only find a servant to take care of things in the future. Gu Jin did not consider her at all in order to monopolize the third young master, so don't blame her for being ruthless!

"Madam, this necklace was indeed given to the Third Young Lady by Aunt Xu.

But the Third Young Madam soaked it in musk and gave it to the First Young Madam. I have also advised the Third Young Madam, but she is still upset about getting on the wrong sedan chair and threatens, threatens..."

"What threat?" Li asked.

Duobao pursed her lips, as if she couldn't speak. After hesitating for a long time, she spoke with difficulty, "The Third Young Madam claimed that the First Young Madam had stolen her husband. The hatred of stealing a husband is irreconcilable. She will never think of giving birth to the First Young Master's child in this life!"
