Chapter 135: Dragged Away and Beaten
Meng was delighted, thinking that she had finally found her chance. She shouted at Xiao Shi, "You daring slut! Are you trying to seduce the master? Are you trying to climb into the bed of the third young master?"
Xiao Shi opened her eyes in confusion, as if she was unconscious.
"Someone! Throw some water on her to wake her up!"
A basin of cold water was poured over Xiao Shi, and she shivered violently and woke up instantly. She looked around blankly, and her memory gradually came back. Her face was instantly covered with great fear. She didn't care that she was naked, and screamed like a pig being slaughtered: "Help! Help!"
Mrs. Meng said, "Xiao Shi, why were you with the Third Young Master? What happened in the West Wing at that time? You have always been well-behaved and sensible in the mansion. According to your character, you should not do anything to seduce your master..."
After a pause, Meng's eyes fell coldly on Feng Jia: "Did someone do something to you? Don't be afraid, just tell me. The Prime Minister and the two princes are here, and they will definitely do you justice!"
Feng Jia smiled without saying anything, her face still looking frank.
Xiao Shi shuddered, "I didn't do anything to seduce my master! It was someone else..."
Xie Qian frowned: "Speak!"
"Someone framed me!" Xiao Shi banged her head against the ground.
"At the banquet just now, Miss Nine got drunk. I helped her to the west wing to rest, but as soon as she walked out, she was knocked unconscious from behind! When I opened my eyes, I felt a burning sensation all over my body! It was as if someone had fed me medicine! I seemed to be carried to the bed while I was in a daze..."
In fact, Xiao Shi was conscious for a while after being carried to the bed, but now she just brushed it off and said, "When I open my eyes again... I will be lying here naked! Please, Master and the two princes, help me!"
As he said this, he lowered his head and wiped his tears.
"Who knocked you out?" Meng deliberately asked her.
Xiao Shi was stunned, and suddenly understood the meaning of Meng's words. Her mind was in turmoil, and she looked at everyone in shock, and finally her eyes fell on the woman in lake blue.
But when she met Feng Jia's cold eyes, Xiao Shi choked again. She was frightened and didn't dare to look at her. She could only look away and looked at Nanny Zhen who was rolling on the ground in the distance, and said, "Yes, it's Miss Nine!"
Finally, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind: "It was Ninth Miss's people who knocked me out! Then they dragged me to the bed and led the Third Young Master over!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
"It turned out to be Miss Nine! She framed her own Third Brother at her sister's banquet! How could this Miss Nine be so vicious!"
"He actually directed and acted out this drama himself! Ugh!"
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise!"
……
Everyone pointed fingers at Feng Jia. Xie Qian's face turned pale, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He said to her, "Lan Zhao, you did a good thing!"
There was a gleam of victory and excitement in Meng and Xie Zisheng's eyes.
Feng Jia looked at all this coldly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a hint of sneer appeared: "Really? It was my people who knocked you out and led the third brother over. Xiaoshi, do you have any evidence?"
"I, I..." Xiao Shi couldn't say anything. This was just her guess. She just saw the look Meng gave her and said it out of necessity. How could she have any evidence?
Mrs. Meng interrupted immediately, "Having Xiaoshi and your third brother as witnesses, isn't that enough? Lan Zhao, you really make your mother feel heartbroken! Someone come!"
"Wait!"
Meng's eyes were filled with hatred, fearing that there would be any more mistakes, and she shouted angrily, "I won't tolerate your quibbling! Someone come quickly! Pin down Miss Nine!"
Feng Jia smiled slightly. Before the servants could touch her, they were stopped by Song Huai and Qing Shu. Meng's eyes were blazing with anger: "How dare you! Do you still dare to resist!"
Everyone was silent. Indeed, all the accusations were now on Xie Jiu, but Xie Jiu looked honest. On the contrary, Meng's behavior was a little suspicious. She was so flustered and looked impatient.
This is quite intriguing.
Xie Zisheng noticed this, pulled Meng's sleeve, and whispered: "Mother, you lost your composure!"
"Xiao Shi, you said it was my people who knocked you out. Who was it?"
Xiao Shi was frightened when she heard this, and said tremblingly: "I, I didn't see it clearly!"
Feng Jia smiled and said, "Since you didn't see clearly, how do you know it's mine?"
"No!" Xiao Shi's scalp tingled, and she quickly changed her words, her eyes scanning the faces of Song Huai and Qing Shu, and finally pointed at Song Huai: "I was wrong! I saw it! It was her! She knocked me unconscious!"
Feng Jia asked, "Are you sure it was her?"
Xiao Shi gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, it's her!"
"you are lying!"
"No! I, I didn't!" Xiao Shi saw Feng Jia walking towards her, and she backed away slowly in fear, tears welling up on her face: "It was her! Miss Nine forced me no matter what! What I said was the truth!"
Feng Jia smiled and said, "Third Aunt?"
A beautiful woman stood out from the crowd. It was Jiang from the third branch of the Xie family. She said softly, "Your Highnesses, uncle, sister-in-law, this maid is lying!"
Xiao Shi shook her head frantically, "No! I don't!"
The Third Prince frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Jiang smiled and said, "Since the Ninth Miss left the table, she has been with me! Of course, this also includes the maid Song Huai that Xiao Shi pointed out. So, it is impossible that Song Huai knocked her out!"
"With the testimony of the third branch of the Xie family, I think it was this maid who framed her! How audacious!" someone in the crowd said.
Xiao Shi's face turned pale. She was so overwhelmed with blood that she panicked and fell to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, "No, no, no! I was wrong! I saw her!"
Xiao Shi pointed at Qing Shu again: "She was the one who knocked me unconscious!"
"You bold and lowly slave, how dare you to make accusations! One moment you say this! The next moment you say that! Which one?" Jiang, who had always been gentle and kind, seemed to be unable to bear it and started cursing.
"It's her! It's Qingshu!" Xiaoshi shouted, "I'm sure!"
"Be bold!"
The Third Prince who spoke this time said, "The slave you pointed out has a scar on her face. I remember her. She has been serving wine at the men's table! She has never left! But you said she knocked you out and dragged you to the west wing? That's a lie! Someone! Take this liar out and beat her to death!"
"Beat, beat to death?" Xiao Shi's eyes were filled with fear. She kowtowed again and again, tears streaming down her face. "No, no, no! I remembered it wrongly! It wasn't her! I didn't see clearly! I didn't see who knocked me out! But someone really framed me and the Third Young Master! Your Highness! The Third Prince! Please help me!"
Xiao Shi crawled on the ground and tried to pull at the Third Prince's robe, but the Third Prince kicked her in the chest with disgust and yelled, "You dare to quibble when you are about to die!"
Xiao Shi hurriedly said, "I really didn't lie! I was really knocked unconscious!" Suddenly she remembered something, and froze for a while, then her trembling lips pointed to one side, "I know! You guys are in collusion!"
Xiao Shi thought about the two of them who had been behind closed doors a few days ago, and they must have been plotting for today's matter: "It must be you! You gave false testimony to Miss Nine!"
"How dare you, a lowly servant, to bite your master!" Jiang looked aggrieved and pitiful. "Uncle! Your Highness! You must make the decision for me!"
The Third Prince rubbed his brows. This servant named Xiao Shi was talking nonsense and biting at will, and the Third Lady of the Xie Mansion could testify for the Ninth Miss. This matter was already very clear. The Third Prince waved his hands in annoyance, as if he was waving away an annoying fly: "Drag her away! Beat her to death!"
