The old maid looked at Lin Mengya, trembling. She gritted her teeth and said, "Baishao asked me to do this.
"It was Miss Baishao who instigated me to do this. She said that Baizhi's dirty hands and feet had ruined her plans. Therefore, she wanted to teach Baizhi a lesson. Master, please don't be angry. I only did this because I received benefits from Miss Baishao! "
The crowd burst into an uproar. They did not expect Baishao to be such a vicious person.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked like she didn't believe it.
But the old maid nodded desperately, and took out a white jade bracelet from her sleeve. She presented it to Lin Mengya and said, "I'm very grateful to you.
"This is what Baishao gave me. Please have a look, Master."
This time, Baishao had no way to deny it. Baishao used to wear this bracelet made of white jade on her wrist.
"No, I don't want to see this. Invite the prince and Concubine De here. I want to confront them in court today. "
Seeing that Lin Mengya was really angry, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
No matter who they were loyal to, Lin Mengya was the rightful Princess after all. They couldn't afford to offend her.
They did not expect that the people in her courtyard were fighting among themselves.
This was a slap on Lin Mengya's face. Anyone would be furious if they were in her shoes.
Jinsu and Jingyue immediately went to carry out their tasks, while Baisu quietly appeared in the crowd without attracting any attention.
"Master, Baizhi was badly beaten by that old maid. I wanted to help her several times, but I held back because of your instructions."
Lin Mengya nodded. There were some slight bite marks on her pale lips.
Baisu was a woman with a cold face but a warm heart. She was at a loss when she saw her good sister being beaten. She was probably more touched than anyone else.
"You've tried your best. Baizhi won't blame you."
Lin Mengya gritted her teeth. Her heart ached more than anyone else.
Her little lass had grown up with her since she was a child. When Baizhi was still Ruyue, she had stood in front of her to protect her when she was weak.
Her fingers were tightly curled up, and her small face was already filled with cold arrogance.
Daring to touch the people in her courtyard, they really have guts!
"His Highness has arrived!"
"Concubine De has arrived!"
Two different voices rang out one after the other.
Lin Mengya stood where she was, looking at her proud and aloof back, which made people feel sorry for her.
Long Tianhao frowned as he looked at Baizhi, who had been beaten into a pig's head. He guessed that Lin Mengya must be feeling terrible.
Unconsciously, he stood behind Lin Mengya. Looking at her slim back, his eyes were full of determination.
"What's going on?"
Concubine De, who knew the answer, pretended to be nonchalant at first. She glanced at Baishao with pity in her eyes.
Lin Mengya bowed and saluted. Concubine De could not find fault with her at all.
"Lady Mother, although Baizhi in my courtyard was accused of embezzling some money, no substantial evidence was found! Now, she has been beaten to such a state. Could it be that someone is trying to silence her? "
Lin Mengya's words were very harsh, and her face was very ugly.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Baishao was trying to shut Baizhi up. That was to say, the case of embezzlement was largely exaggerated.
Moreover, it could also be said that Baishao was already dissatisfied with Baizhi, who was also her sister, when they were in Liuxin Courtyard.
In short, there had to be something fishy about this that was hard to detect.
"Is that so? Baishao is too much. Jinsu, ask Baishao to come out. I want to question her face to face. "
Aunt Jingyue said that Concubine De had ordered her to go to Lin Mengya's courtyard. Now, Concubine De seemed to know nothing about it. Wasn't this a little fake?
Lin Mengya looked at them coldly, and her face was gloomy.
After a while, Baishao was led by Aunt Jingyue to the woodshed in the backyard of Prince Yu's Mansion.
When she saw Lin Mengya, who looked cold, and Baizhi, who was paralyzed on the ground, her face immediately turned pale.
"Greetings, Concubine De, Prince Yu, and Princess Yu."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Baishao, as if they were trying to find out why she was so vicious from her beautiful face.
"I asked you to come here to ask you if you know this old maid?"
Concubine De said calmly, as if she was in charge of the situation.
Baishao looked at the trembling old maid and nodded suspiciously. Then she said, "It's not a big deal.
Then she said, "In reply to Concubine De's question, she is from my hometown. We worked together, so we know each other. "
Concubine De thought that Baishao would deny it, but unexpectedly, she admitted it so easily.
"Miss, Miss, I'm sorry. This is the bracelet you gave me. I'll return it to you now. I beg you, Miss, please let me go. It's not easy for me to live alone in the Yang Family. I have to take care of my parents and children! "
The old maid suddenly grabbed Lin Mengya's clothes and cried bitterly.
"Mrs. Xu, don't do this to me! What bracelet? What are you talking about? "
Baishao was a little flustered. She had lost the jade bracelet on her wrist a few days ago.
Could it be that it fell into the hands of this mother? But she did not ask Mrs. Xu to do anything. Why would she say that?
"Miss, now that things have come to this, just admit it. You called me into the room that day and secretly gave it to me. Then, then, you asked me to do something to Miss Baizhi! "
The old maid immediately cried out loudly, as if she was weeping, which made people believe her a little bit.
However, Lin Mengya frowned thoughtfully, as if she had understood something.
"Mrs. Xu, I have no enmity with you in the past. Why do you wrongly accuse me? Everyone knows that I, Baishao, and Baizhi are as close as sisters. If she hadn't made a mistake, we sisters wouldn't have become enemies. But even so, I would never do such a thing. Mrs. Xu, don't talk nonsense! "
Now, both of them seemed to stick to their own story, and no one could say that the other was lying.
The white jade bracelet was indeed Baizhi's. Now it was in Mrs. Xu's hands, and no one could explain it.
But Lin Mengya had already made up her mind.
"This is not easy. Yu 'er, Mengya, what do you think? "
Concubine De deliberately put on a difficult face and threw this problem to Long Tianhao and Lin Mengya.
Even if it was not Baishao who made it, Baishao could not refuse Mrs. Xu's claim that it was Baishao who gave it to her.
"No matter who did this, I will get to the bottom of it."
Long Tianhao was too embarrassed to say anything about women's affairs. However, Lin Mengya took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
She glanced at Concubine De, Baishao, Baizhi, and Mrs. Xu, who was kneeling on the ground, with a cold smile on her pretty face.
"Baishao, Baizhi's mouth is sealed, so you can speak for her."
Lin Mengya changed the topic and turned to Baizhi. Her cherry lips opened slightly, and everyone was shocked.
Baishao immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Mengya.
"Yes, Master. This servant will definitely tell you the ins and outs of this matter in full detail. This bracelet is indeed mine, but it was given to me by Jinsu, Concubine De's maid. She said that Concubine De gave it to me because she appreciated me. This servant went back and reported this matter to Master. Master knows about this matter. "
Lin Mengya's expression finally softened.
The so-called betrayal of the master and servant was just a trick she used to confuse the enemy.
"Go on. The prince is here, and so are all the people involved. You can't deny it easily."
Lin Mengya helped Baizhi up. Her heart ached as she looked at the little girl's blushing face. There was an apologetic look in her eyes.
However, Baizhi's eyes revealed an expression of joy. This silly girl must be sincerely happy that her good sister did not betray her master.
"Does it hurt?"
Lin Mengya did not dare to touch it with her hands, but Baizhi shook her head with all her might. Then she frowned and nodded pitifully.
Baishao, on the other hand, told Lin Mengya what had happened afterward without any hesitation, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"Later on, Jinsu told me that Concubine De admired me very much, and wanted me to be the prince's concubine. Under her instructions, I was often sent to the prince's Qinwu Courtyard to deliver food and clothes. The prince was polite to me for the sake of Concubine De. But I knew my place, and never had any dirty thoughts about the prince. Master is also aware of these matters. "
Baishao suddenly took out a pair of scissors from her sleeve. Lin Mengya looked at the silly girl with concern.
"What are you doing?"
Jinsu panicked and took a few steps back. She did not know when, but there were two burly guards standing behind her.
"That's right, I ran away from my marriage in my hometown. My father was a gambling addict. Not only did he lose everything in the family, he even wanted to sell my sisters and me to a secret place. If it wasn't for my mother, I … I would have been dirty. Later on, my father took advantage of the time when my mother went back to her parents' home to sell me to an old man as a concubine. I know you all think I look like a vixen, and that's why you want me to be the prince's concubine. But I, Baishao, am not a person who will bow down easily. Master has given me a new lease on life. No matter what, I will not betray Master. "
After Baishao complained tearfully, she cut off a long strand of her long hair. Lin Mengya immediately ordered Baisu to stop her crazy action.
"I haven't finished. What are you doing?"
