Half an hour later.

All the accompanying maids and servants were driven outside to the corridor, leaving only Mrs. Wang and her jade bracelet kneeling on the ground, shivering. The sound of rushing water in the courtyard also effectively prevented the possibility of eavesdropping.

However, Mrs. Wang still did not speak.

Because this matter is really...

These small clothes were originally given to Jin Chuan for disposal. She would secretly give them to Yu Chuan, which was not a strange thing.

If it weren't for Jia Zheng's repeated suspicions, if Aunt Xue hadn't blurted out her words, and if the jade bracelet was not Jiao Shun's maid, Mrs. Wang might not have thought much about it.

But the combination of all these factors forced Mrs. Wang to speculate on the worst possibility!

And this speculation brought her great shame and resentment.

It took her a full quarter of an hour before she could barely squeeze out a sentence through her teeth: "Where did that dress come from?"

The jade bracelet lowered its head and murmured: "To answer my wife's question, it was something my sister gave me when she was alive. She said yes, but she said she didn't want it anymore. I thought it was all good stuff, so I accepted it."

It was exactly as Mrs. Wang had guessed before!

But what Mrs. Wang is most concerned about now is not the origin of the clothes, but... its current use!

This question is really hard to ask, but if you don’t ask it clearly, it’s hard to let it go.

"you……"

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a long time, then asked in a roundabout way: "You... do you often wear these clothes?"

"This...I..."

"Lift your head and speak!"

Mrs. Wang shouted low, and the frightened jade bracelet hurriedly raised its head, but when it met Mrs. Wang's angry and cold gaze, it unconsciously turned its gaze away and said hesitantly: "Yeah, I don't wear it often, just occasionally, occasionally.

Put it on."

After a pause, he added an explanation: "It's because the new one I replaced yesterday was accidentally stained, and I didn't have anything else to replace it for, so..."

This kind of evasive rhetoric did not satisfy Mrs. Wang very much. Coupled with the jade bracelet's small gestures that showed a guilty conscience, it pushed the ominous premonition in Mrs. Wang's heart to a high point.

In fact, there is no need to ask anymore.

Using common sense to deduce, where would a sexy little piece of clothing that you don’t usually wear come in handy occasionally?

Naturally it can only be...

It would be fine if the clothes were just put to use, but Aunt Xue said that Jiao Shun had evil intentions towards her.

When using this thing to add to the fun, wouldn't he just think about it?

Mrs. Wang's face turned blue and white. Last time she heard Aunt Xue let it slip that she had scolded Jiao Shun for being so cowardly and wishful thinking, but she never expected that not only did he have such ambition, he also...

If she could, she really wished she could cut Jiao Shun and Yuchai into pieces with a thousand knives!

But after all, Mrs. Wang was already past the age of emotion. She knew that once this matter was exposed, it was hard to say what would happen to Jiao Shun, but her reputation would definitely be damaged, and the rumors that had just been subsided outside would make waves again, and

Jia Zheng will also doubt himself even more.

In short, it can be said to be a hundred harms without any benefit.

Especially in the near future, Baoyu will be engaged...

After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang finally chose to swallow her anger for the time being, so she forced out a smile and said: "Well, for the sake of your sister, I will spare you this time, but you must promise me something.

!”

How could Yuchuan know about her psychological struggle?

I thought I had been taken over by my own lake, so I immediately kowtowed my head to the ground happily and said: "Madam, just give me your orders, don't say it's just one thing, even if you have ten or a hundred slaves, you will agree!"

"Hmph~"

Mrs. Wang snorted when she heard this, suppressed the disgust in her heart, and said seriously: "There is no need to do anything, as long as you keep silent about what happened today after you go back today!"

After saying that, I felt something was wrong. Wouldn't this be equivalent to telling Yuchuan that he had already guessed those unpleasant things?

But it was too late to go back and make amends, so I could only say with a straight face: "If not, if I can send you to the Jiao family, I can find a way to bring you back and punish you!"

"I don't dare, I don't dare! I don't dare!"

Jade Chuan kowtowed as if pounding garlic, promising again and again that he would never tell anyone what happened today.

Mrs. Wang waved her hands irritably: "Okay, get up, go back and change your clothes quickly."

Yuchuan then hurriedly got up and left the main hall in a panic. He didn't even bother asking for a paper umbrella anymore and rushed straight into the rain.

Caixia Caiyun and others looked at her embarrassed look and felt that something was fishy. They were about to whisper a few words when they heard Mrs. Wang say loudly from inside: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and get rain gear!"

"

How could Mrs. Wang not know that the maids had noticed something fishy?

But fortunately, only Jia Zheng and Jin Chuan had seen those clothes with their own eyes, so there was no need to worry that Caixia and others would recognize them.

Let’s talk less.

But when she returned to Qingtang thatched cottage in the rain, Mrs. Wang rushed to find Aunt Xue. As soon as they met, she kept asking: "Since you already knew this, why did you keep hiding it from me? And you had already told it that day.

Mouth, but you still refuse to admit it!"

Aunt Xue was confused by her question and wondered: "What did sister say? What did I hide from you?"

Mrs. Wang gave a further reminder with a straight face: "I'm talking about Jiao Shun's matter. It's really hard for you to hide it from me!"

She was talking about Jiao Shun secretly doing shameless things with her own clothes, but Aunt Xue suddenly changed her mind and thought that her sister had found out about her and Jiao Shun's affairs!

So Yinpan's face suddenly lost all color, and he said in a panic: "Sister, how do you know, you, who did you listen to?!"

At the same time, she secretly wondered, could it be that Brother Shun actually publicized this matter? If so, he was too careless and... also disrespected himself too much!

But Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and sneered: "Of course I asked where the jade bracelet came from. Why, do you still want to deceive me now?"

Jade bracelet?

Yes, the jade bracelet was sent to Brother Shun by my sister. This little hoof must have secretly noticed something and quietly reported it to her sister!

After thinking about the cause and effect, Aunt Xue felt ashamed and frightened. She hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Mrs. Wang, crying: "Sister, you must not do this, this..."

"Get up and talk!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly helped her sister up, and before she could continue, she took the initiative to comfort her: "It's normal for you to have concerns about such unspeakable things. How can I not be considerate of you?"

She thought that Aunt Xue was trying to deceive her, and it was not a big mistake to plead guilty. Her sister had already knelt down to admit her mistake, so how could she have the heart to continue to pursue the case?

"elder sister!"

Aunt Xue only thought that her sister had promised to keep her secret, and she felt relieved.

It's quite strange that these two sisters can argue with each other, but they can still justify their explanations.

Just at this time, Wang Xifeng suddenly sent someone to report that the Zhen family in Jiangnan was sending birthday gifts. She didn't know what to do with some rare items, so she wanted to ask her wife to help her handle them.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to end the conversation between the sisters in advance, and after telling Aunt Xue to be honest with each other in the future and not to deceive again, she went to the front yard director.

But after Aunt Xue returned home and thought about it, she felt that she had to tell Jiao Shun about this matter to avoid being exposed by the jade bracelet in the future.

But she subconsciously ignored a premise: as long as she doesn't have any more entanglements with Jiao Shun, why should she care about Yu Chuan's small report?

…………

It's evening in a blink of an eye.

It was revealed that the chief minister of the dynasty resigned out of anger, and Jiao Shun faced all kinds of strange looks all day long. Thanks to his thick face and dark heart, he could still face it calmly on the surface.

After returning home after leaving the office, he had just changed out of his official robe and wanted to go to the south room to get close to the little cotton-padded jacket so as to relieve the depression in his heart. Unexpectedly, the jade bracelet suddenly banged on his knees in front of him, claiming that he had something to say in return.

Jiao Shun thought she was going to snitch on someone again, so he impatiently waved away Xiangling and Hongyu, and asked angrily: "What happened today? Could it be that I was taught a lesson by Siqi again? Let's talk about it later!"

"Master..."

However, instead of getting up, Yuchai knelt on the ground and cried: "My slave, my slave has caused trouble!"

"the fat is in the fire?"

Jiao Shun then became more serious. He turned around and sat on the bed, raised his chin at Yuchai and said, "Please tell me carefully what is going on."

Yuchuan then told what happened today in detail, not taking the threats and inducements to Mrs. Wang seriously. Although she was not smart enough, she also knew that Jiao Shun was her genius.

Of course, she also defended herself. For example, she wore sexy clothes because she was vomited all over yesterday, and she went to the garden today because Siqi was sending her. As for her, she was wandering around in the garden out of anger, and accidentally bumped into Wang.

The lady's affairs were naturally deleted using the Spring and Autumn style of writing.

Jiao Shun couldn't help but scratch his head after hearing this.

I only took the little clothes for fun, but who would have expected that I would be caught by the real owner? This is really...

"Besides telling you to hide it from me, did she say anything else?"

"Just tell me to hide it from you, and the rest is..."

"Then what's her attitude like?"

"I was very angry, as if I wanted to eat people. I almost scared the slave to death at the time, but I didn't expect that it ended like this in the end."
