Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

Chapter 157

Madam Rui Er bowed, and said with some pride and respect: "In reply to Madam Tai's words, I didn't want to make a scene in front of Madam Tai during the New Year, but if I don't discipline them, I'm afraid that everyone in this mansion will slack off, and it will ruin the family reputation under my nose. It won't sound good if it gets out! Especially since I got some great news today-"

She was beating around the bush and praising herself, which made Mrs. Tushan a little impatient and frowned.

At this moment, Sen Ying knelt down with a thud and shouted, "Madam, I want to sue Lan Xiang for having an affair with the Second Young Master and for being pregnant!"

"What did you say?!" The lady's hand trembled, and the teacup fell and shattered.

The lady dowager and Aunt Zhao looked at each other, and everyone in the room looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

The woman with phoenix eyes beside the old lady stroked her back, and with a wave of her other hand, the debris on the ground was enveloped by a ball of red flames and turned into ashes.

"Madam, please be patient. It won't be too late for us to listen to the details and then make a judgment."

"Nanfeng, I know. Senying, tell me quickly, how did you know? Tell me everything." The lady said in a low voice.

"To answer the Madam's question, I was originally from Aunt Zhao's courtyard. My name was Sen Ying. The Second Young Master's courtyard was short of people before, and the old lady felt sorry for the young master, so she asked Aunt Zhao to send someone over, and she chose me. This time when the Second Young Master went out, he also took me with him." Sen Ying knelt on the ground, raised her head, and spoke eloquently.

"Go on." The lady looked at her.

"Lanxiang is usually lazy and gluttonous. She used her injury as an excuse to say she couldn't remember anything. She rarely did any work in the mansion. She even combed the young master's hair when she was on the way and learned it from me. Jingye and the others usually didn't bother with her because of their old friendship, but she became proud and kept around the young master all day, using her words to coax him around."

I couldn't help but say, "Sen Ying, don't go too far! I'm the young master's personal maid. If I don't revolve around the young master, then how can I revolve around you? You are innocent yourself, but you still want to drag me into this. It's simply slandering me!"

Mori Ying looked at me without saying anything, with a very complicated expression.

"What's going on?! Sen Ying is not innocent either?" Madam Tushan looked at her suspiciously.

"Madam, you don't know, but a while ago, Butler Hu..." Madam Rui Er walked forward and whispered in his ear.

After hearing this, Madam Tushan slammed the table and said angrily, "This is a bad account! Call Butler Hu as well!"

Another maid behind her answered yes and trotted out of the room.

"And Lanxiang, if the master didn't ask you a question, you have no right to speak! You can't be so unruly in front of the lady, interrupting her at will, and so presumptuous!" Madam Rui shouted condescendingly.

I had no choice but to keep quiet, see what they said, write it down and refute it together, while secretly waiting for Tu Shanjing to arrive.

Sen Ying turned to Madam Tushan and said, "I wonder if you still remember that last autumn, a maidservant named Chaolu died in the Second Young Master's courtyard."

The lady narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment before answering, "It seems like there was such a thing. Butler Hu told me about it, but I don't remember her name. It's New Year's Day, why are you bringing this up?"

Sen Ying said: "The Madam is busy with all kinds of affairs, so it is natural that she would not remember a little maid. Anyway, the maid died unclearly, and the matter started with Lanxiang. Other people involved were punished, but the second young master tried his best to protect Lanxiang and took her back, and the matter was never resolved. Lanxiang was punished and had injuries on her body, so the young master summoned her directly to Xueyun Cave to heal her injuries. I happened to be traveling with them, and saw something in the cave..." She paused here.

"What did you see? Tell me quickly!" Mrs. Tushan said anxiously.

"Madam, it's hard to talk about a woman's reputation with so many people here. Why don't we ask all the irrelevant people to leave?" The one named Nan Feng beside the Madam advised.

Mrs. Tushan nodded and waved her hands twice.

The maids and servants in the room dared not make a sound, and left in an orderly manner, with their eyes and noses watching, and their noses and noses watching their hearts. Only the lady Dowager, Nanfeng, Aunt Zhao and her personal maid, as well as Senying, Madam Rui and I were left.

At this time, Butler Hu also hurried over with the maid and bowed, "Greetings to Madam Tai and Aunt Zhao."

The lady nodded and said, "Please sit down. I will ask you later. Senying, go on, what did you see in Xueyun Cave?"

Sen Ying raised her head and said, "I was waiting outside the Xueyun Cave at first. I heard some noise inside the cave. Lanxiang was saying something like 'Master, I'm so cold', but there was clearly a hot spring in the Xueyun Cave. Anyway, I waited outside the cave for a long time. Finally, the Master asked me and Ruiyang to take the couch and carry Lanxiang back. Miss Lanxiang's clothes were soaked and she looked very weak. She didn't even have the strength to walk back. I took a peek and saw blood on the ground..."

At this point, Butler Hu twirled his beard and glanced at me.

I was furious. Although what she said was true, after she picked up and arranged her words, they sounded completely different.

Mrs. Tushan and the others were also surprised. She hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Lanxiang, is what she said true?!"

I replied: "Madam, although this is true, but..."

"That's enough!" the lady stopped me.

I thought of Madam Rui Er who had just stopped me from crossing the line, and decided not to anger the Madam Dowager first, otherwise it would be terrible if she sealed my mouth and I had no way to defend myself.

"Madam, Ruiyang is also involved in this matter. If you don't believe Senying's words, you can ask Ruiyang to confront you." Senying added upon seeing this.

"Pass it on." The lady gave an order, and the maid who had just come in ran out again.

"Later, I followed them out of the mansion. They were talking and laughing all the way. It goes without saying that the young master bought her jewelry. Just look at the clothes she is wearing today... It is not something an ordinary maid can afford. In the city of Chenyi, she once helped the young master take a bath, but she came back all wet and even mentioned the story she heard during the day about a pair of mandarin ducks bathing together. Even in the Chenrong Mansion, she did not shy away from staying in the same room with the young master, sleeping in each other's arms, and was caught by me when I brought her water in the morning. By the way, the young master also had a conflict with His Highness Yue Liang of Xiyan because of her." Sen Ying talked incessantly.

“What?! Jing actually offended His Highness Yue Liang because of her?!” The lady slapped the table beside her angrily.

It happened that Ruiyang and Chengman walked in together at this moment. Seeing this, they trembled in fear, and they didn't know whether to move their other foot forward or not.

"Come in, I want to ask some questions." Mrs. Tushan stared at them with sharp eyes.

Ruiyang looked at Madam Tushan, then looked at me, walked in and bowed.

"I will ask about the details later. I just want to ask you one question. Have you ever seen the Second Young Master and Lan Xiang getting along well in the mansion? Have you seen any suspicious behavior?"
