The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Seeing that there was no way to stop Xia Qianxiang and her daughter, Xia Jianxiang had no choice but to agree.

Although Xia Jianxiang was not a smart person, there was a smart maid beside her. Seeing that Xia Jianxiang was at a disadvantage, she quickly winked at the people behind her and asked them to go find the second aunt and Xia Pinxiang.

"Madam, the fifth young lady caught a stealing maid in Jingjianxuan and she insisted that the maid was the sixth young lady's. Now the two sides are arguing, and the eldest aunt asked me to ask, madam, if you have time to judge for the two young ladies?" Yuxiu did not say too much, but went straight to the point and asked Tu to make the decision.

Tu had a lot of things on her hands now, and originally wanted to hand this matter over to Xia Yanxiang. However, she thought that although this was a small matter between Xia Jianxiang and Xia Qianxiang, Xia Jianxiang would certainly not come by herself, and the eldest aunt had already come forward, so the second aunt would definitely come. If this matter was handed over directly to Xia Yanxiang, the second aunt would certainly not agree to let Yan'er handle it. So Tu simply put other things aside and asked Yuxiu to bring them over.

After Yuxiu left, Tu told Heluo to call Xia Yanxiang over.

Xia Yanxiang was doing the accounting in Ao Yanxuan. She had been exposed to some things in her previous life, but had never studied it seriously. She just started to learn it in this life. She was having a headache when she heard Tu's someone coming to call her. She put down the account book and got up to relax.

Although Xia Yanxiang's Ao Yanxuan was not far from Tu's Qinyuan, Xia Yanxiang deliberately waited until Xia Qianxiang and her daughter and Xia Jianxiang and her daughter arrived at Qinyuan before coming to Qinyuan.

When they arrived at the gate of Qin Garden, Xia Jianxiang was making a loud noise, while the second aunt and Xia Pinxiang were sitting there with impatient looks on their faces. The eldest aunt was also sitting there without any reaction. Xia Qianxiang was standing next to Xia Jianxiang. Although Xia Jianxiang was making a loud noise, fortunately she did not fight.

"Madam, this girl has already admitted that she is Li Qianxuan's maid, but Xia Qianxiang has always refused to admit it." Xia Jianxiang insisted that the girl was from Xia Qianxiang's yard and would not change her statement even if beaten to death.

As soon as Xia Jianxiang finished speaking, the servant immediately said, "Madam, the third young lady is here."

Xia Jianxiang closed her mouth unwillingly and turned sideways to let Xia Yanxiang in.

Xia Jianxiang and Xia Qianxiang are both younger than Xia Yanxiang. Although they are of the same generation, Xia Yanxiang is not only older than them, but also the legitimate daughter. Even if Xia Jianxiang is unwilling, she has to pay her respects to Xia Yanxiang.

Xia Yanxiang just nodded slightly, then bowed to Tu and the two aunts: "Yanxiang greets mother, two aunts."

Tu nodded and raised her hand: "Sit down, this is not a big deal, just take a look."

Xia Yanxiang agreed and sat aside.

"Fifth girl, go on."

After getting Tu's permission, Xia Jianxiang continued unwillingly, "Madam, this girl secretly stole my things in Jing Jianxuan, and she has already admitted that she is Li Qianxuan's maid, but Sixth Sister has never admitted it."

"Sixth girl, what do you say?" She couldn't just listen to Xia Jianxiang's one-sided words, not to mention that Xia Jianxiang had been at odds with Xia Qianxiang since childhood. Although Xia Qianxiang didn't like to pay attention to her, she couldn't help but feel that Xia Jianxiang often found fault with her. There was no guarantee that this time Xia Jianxiang was not finding fault with her again.

Xia Qianxiang first bowed to Tu, and then slowly said: "Madam, this girl is not Li Qianxuan's..."

Before Xia Qianxiang finished her words, Xia Jianxiang interrupted her sharply: "She has already admitted it, is there any point in you denying it?"

"Madam, this girl is Li Qianxuan's person. I found out. That's why Sixth Sister refuses to admit it!" Xia Jianxiang continued to speak without giving Xia Qianxiang a chance to speak.

"Let Qianxiang finish her words." Xia Yanxiang saw through Xia Jianxiang's thoughts at a glance, and said to Xia Jianxiang indifferently, "It's just one side of the story, don't trust it completely."

After just a few words, Xia Jianxiang was unable to refute and had to shut her mouth unwillingly.

"Sixth girl, please continue." Tu also saw it. Indeed, Xia Jianxiang's methods were very clumsy. Everyone present could see it at a glance.

Xia Pinxiang and the second aunt on the side didn't want to see Xia Jianxiang at all. It was really too stupid.

Xia Qianxiang didn't want to pay attention to Xia Jianxiang's tricks, and continued: "Although this girl admitted that she was Li Qianxuan's person, Zhong Ling and Yuxiu beside me have confirmed that she is not Li Qianxuan's person."

In just two sentences, Xia Qianxiang made her meaning clear.

"Of course they won't admit it. After all, stealing is not a glorious thing. What's more, if you were the one who ordered this girl to do it, they would certainly be in the same boat with you. How could they possibly admit it?" Xia Jianxiang had already found an excuse. No matter what Xia Qianxiang said, she had a reason.

"Fifth sister, how do you prove that she is from my courtyard? It doesn't count if she can tell the difference between Zhong Ling and Yuxiu. There are many people in our mansion who can tell the difference between Zhong Ling and Yuxiu." Xia Jianxiang has a trick, and she, Xia Qianxiang, also has a trick.

Xia Jianxiang was choked by Xia Qianxiang's question and was unable to answer.

At this time, Xia Pinxiang spoke up: "If not, wouldn't it be clear if we interrogate that girl?"

"Liepunishment is a serious crime. Confessions obtained through torture are difficult to verify." Xia Yanxiang had expected this. The same thing happened in her previous life. At that time, she did not participate in the affairs of the mansion like she does in this life, so she only found out about it later. Although the matter was also brought to the hands of the Tu family, it was Xia Pinxiang who proposed the interrogation. Later, the girl became lame and spread the matter, and Xia Qianxiang's reputation was damaged.

Xia Pinxiang was a little angry. Xia Yanxiang always ruined her plans. "Let's just interrogate her in private. If we find out that she is indeed not Li Qianxuan's woman, it will be considered as clearing Sixth Sister's name."

"That's right." After hearing Xia Pinxiang's words, Xia Jianxiang immediately jumped out and strongly agreed with Xia Pinxiang's statement.

"Okay," Tu interrupted the girls' argument, "bring the person up first! I'll ask."

Xia Yanxiang ignored the words of Xia Pinxiang and her sister because she knew the purpose of Xia Pinxiang's lynching. Although Tu didn't know, she would not agree with Xia Pinxiang's statement because Xia Yanxiang was there to remind her.

"Fifth and sixth girls, sit down first. I'll ask some questions. Don't say anything." Tu said this first, not allowing Xia Jianxiang to speak or get involved. Xia Jianxiang had no choice but to hold her breath and sit down.

He Luo asked someone to bring the girl up.

"Your servant greets the Madam, the two concubines, and the young ladies." The girl was relatively calm. She came forward and bowed to everyone first.

"Sixth Miss said that you are from Li Qianxuan. Do you have any way to prove it?" Tu went straight to the point.

"I can tell the difference between Sister Zhong Ling and Sister Yu Xiu." The girl spoke very confidently.

"There are many people in the mansion who can tell the difference between the two of them. Do you have any other evidence?" Sure enough, it was the same excuse.
