"Tell me everything you know, and I can spare you!" Shen Rui's expression was unprecedentedly serious. Even Liu Yiyi and Lin Xueyao were shocked by Shen Rui's tone and did not dare to express their anger. One sound.
"Xiaomin is just a fortune teller on the street. It's... the third lady sent someone to find Xiaomin, gave him a considerable sum of money, and asked Xiaomin to pretend to be a monk, saying that the eldest lady's fortune was not good. With Xiaomin's words , plus the third lady has already prepared evidence to frame the eldest lady, the eldest lady will be punished by the minister! The third lady also said that after the matter is completed, there will be many rewards..."
Yun Kong told all the truth, but before he finished speaking, the third lady Lu Xiyun interrupted him with a scream.
"You, you lied. When did I send someone to look for you?" Lu Xiyun did not expect that Yun Kong could not withstand threats so much, so she revealed all her plans and hurriedly interrupted him.
But her trembling voice and pale face gave her away.
Shen Rui had already seen some clues, but now that he heard this fake monk telling the truth, he glanced at Lu Xiyun with a cold eye. Seeing his frightened gaze, Lu Xiyun felt timid and could only bite her lower lip to force out her words of defense. Swallowed it back alive.
In order to save his life, Yun Kong still has a lot of control. When he heard the third lady accusing him of talking nonsense, he raised his head and retorted plausibly: "Third lady, how could you be talking nonsense? Didn't you send your personal maid that day? Xi'er came to see me and gave me money in person?"
Xi'er, who was named by Yun Kong, has been following Lu Xiyun. Without waiting for Shen Rui to question, Xi'er stood up tremblingly, knelt in front of Shen Rui, and took the initiative to admit her mistake.
"Master Shangshu, it is indeed the third lady who instigated this slave to do this. I don't want to harm the eldest lady, but since I have followed the third lady, as long as I don't obey the orders, I will be beaten and kicked by the third lady..."
When Xi'er said this, her eyes were filled with tears and her voice was choked with sobs.
Wei Zijin walked up to Xi'er and lifted up her sleeves. He saw that her fair arms were covered with marks of being beaten and burned. She looked really ferocious. Even Liu Yiyi and Lin Xueyao looked at it and couldn't help it. I couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Master Wu Neng, who was watching this scene on the side, also sighed, unable to bear to look closely, and murmured: "Amitabha, so good, so good..."
Shen Rui also saw the scars on Xi'er's arms clearly, and his brows furrowed even deeper. He had always been considerate of his servants, but he hated the way he abused his slaves at every turn!
Now that Lu Xiyun's personal maid has testified, coupled with Yun Kong's words, the little affection Shen Rui had for Lu Xiyun has all turned into disgust.
He only thought that Lu Xiyun was a somewhat shallow woman who liked to compete for favors, but he didn't expect that she was such a vicious-hearted person!
If such a vicious-hearted woman stayed by her side, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't make the entire Shangshu Mansion restless!
Shen Rui asked Xi'er to stand up, and looked at Lu Xiyun with cold eyes. Not wanting to say anything more, he waved his hands and ordered in a deep voice: "Qing'er, you guys, send the third lady back to your home, and shut yourself up in the ancestral hall to think about your mistakes first. I’ll tell you another story when I get back!”
His words made his attitude very clear... Lu Xiyun, who originally had some hope, also felt his legs tremble after hearing his words.
