Chu Qing sent Aunt Xia Chu Hongwanyun and others out. He sat in front of the bed to coax his daughter: "Manman stops crying, don't you be fine now? Stop crying, what's going on? Tell me to my father, have you really seen Sixi take action?"
Chu Man continued to thrust for a while before stopping her tears, looking at her father pitifully, "Yes, someone suddenly pushed me. When I fell down, I looked back. Si Xi's hand had not been taken back. Dad, you have to make the decision for me. I, I have never messed with her, she..."
Chu Man suddenly stopped talking, looking disbelief.
She had never provoked Sixi, but she had provoked Chu Han. Did Chu Han hold a grudge? Did she see that she had been obedient recently and her father started to treat her again? Chu Han was unhappy and instigated Sixi to push her into the water. If she drowned, Chu Han would be able to monopolize her father's favor?
"Dad," Chu Man became more and more afraid of it. She grabbed Chu Qing's hand with a white face, "Dad, sister..."
Chu Qing stared at her little daughter tightly, not missing any changes in expression on Chu Man's face. He knew this daughter too well, so she would make little thoughts, but she had not practiced to the point where she could not miss the flaws. Just like last time she asked her sister for Yue Huaxiang, a discerning person could see through her tricks at a glance.
So my daughter did see Sixi reach out, so she decided that Sixi pushed her, and soon thought that her sister wanted to harm her.
But Chu Qing also believed in her eldest daughter.
He firmly held his little daughter's shoulder and gently wiped her tears with his other hand, "I heard from me that Sixi extended her hand to save you, but it might not be that she would take it back after pushing you. Think carefully about where the person who pushed you was in your direction." At that time, Liu Zhi Sixi stood on her daughter's side. If she wanted to not attract attention, she could only exert force from both sides. Her daughter must have felt it.
Chu Man looked at the man's eyes as faint as a deep spring in shock.
My father said this because he was suspicious that Liu Zhi pushed her. If he had no doubts, why did he ask this? But Liu Zhi was her personal maid, loyal. My father kept the most reasonable Sixie who was not suspicious, and even didn't believe the testimony she had seen with his own eyes. Is he determined to protect his sister?
Chu Man felt cold in her heart. She lowered her head, resisted the urge to bite her lip, and cried, "On the right, she pushed me from the right."
On her right is Sixi.
Chu Qing's eyes turned cold, "Look up at me and say it again."
Chu Man felt panic when he heard the coldness in the man's words, but since he had already spoken, he could not change it. She raised her head and tried to make herself look credible. Knowing that her father couldn't bear to see her cry, she wiped her tears and said even more: "On the right, she pushed her hard on my waist and lifted me up."
I thought I could deceive people, but I didn't know that her panic-flicked eyelashes had prematurely revealed her guilt.
Chu Qing stood up suddenly.
Chu Man raised her head blankly and met the man's cold face. Just when she was worried that she had been seen through, Chu Qing said quietly: "I'll ask you the last time, where did that person push you from? If you lie, I will believe that you jumped down by yourself and want to frame your sister with Liu Zhi so that I can hate her."
Chu Man's face was as white as paper.
When Chu Qing saw that she didn't speak, she turned around and wanted to leave.
Chu Man suddenly pounced off the bed, knelt down and stopped him, crying heartbrokenly: "Dad, don't leave, I, I'm lying. It was too messy at that time. I don't remember pushing me, but I didn't jump down by myself. I didn't frame my sister with Liu Zhi. Dad, you believe me, I really don't, I don't..."
"I understand, go back to bed and take good care of your illness. This is the last time. If you dare to be fooled with me again, I will not believe anything you say." Chu Qing did not look at her daughter and left without looking back.
Aunt Xia and others were outside, listening clearly the conversation between the father and daughter inside. Wanyun had no expression on his face. Chu Hong looked out the window with a complicated expression, and only Aunt Xia was crying. As soon as Chu Qing came out, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Marquis, Manman was frightened and nonsense. Please understand that she was afraid of falling into the water. Don't bother with her? This matter must not be done by the big girl. Let's go back and take Manman to apologize to the big girl. Please don't blame Manman..."
Chu Qing ignored him and said to Chu Hong, "Let's go and examine people." There is no big relationship between the two sisters, but even if the eldest son and the second son cannot be as close as their mothers, they cannot be resentful. He took the eldest son to interrogate, so that the eldest son could truly believe that his sister was harming others, rather than giving him a result. The eldest son was dissatisfied with his father's prestige.
The father and son went to the main courtyard one after another.
In addition to Sixi Liuzhi, there are six maids, one is Hongyu, the second-class maid in Rongxi Hall, the third lady’s eldest maid Shuiyun, the other is Chu Rong’s personal maid Xianyin, and the other three are the little maids Hanzhu arranged to serve tea and pour water on the pleasure boat.
Hongyu knelt there, very calmly. Chu Qing asked her, and she replied calmly: "The old lady is crowded, and there is no place behind her. When I saw that there was an open space on the west side, I ran to see it. Someone next to me exclaimed, and I turned around and saw only the fourth girl falling down, but I didn't see how it fell."
Chu Qing's eyes moved to the water cloud.
Shui Yun was able to be the eldest maid of the third wife, so he was naturally calm when he encountered problems. "When I returned to the marquis, I was originally serving the lady and Xianyin. Later, the dragon boat race became more and more intense, and I felt itchy. Seeing that the sisters on the old lady were squeezed to the bow of the boat, I couldn't help but lean forward, but the two of me stood on the left side of the willow branch, and the willow branch could testify."
Willow branches bow their heads to default.
Chu Qing looked at them and asked Hongyu again: "Where were you standing at that time?"
Hongyu said, "I went there late, there was only one position at the corner of the boat. I stood there. There was no one on the left, and the string sounds on the right."
Xianyin nodded and agreed: "Yes, I am still talking to Sister Hongyu."
"Where are you? You stood behind and saw who walked past the fourth girl?" Chu Qing asked the last three little maids.
The three little maids were trembling, two stood behind Axun, four Xi testified, and one stood behind Hong Yuxianyin, saying that they were all focused on watching the dragon boat race at that time, and they didn't know anything else.
"Then have the people next to you left?" Chu Qing stared at him and asked.
The girls looked around and shook their heads.
Liu Zhi was more and more sure that Si Xitui was from Si Xitui, and pointed at Si Xitui and said, "Marty, it's the girl from Si Xitui, I saw it with my own eyes!"
Si Xi really regretted it so much. She waited for her fiercely and looked at Chu Qing and said, "Mr. Marquis, I am close to the fourth girl. Seeing that she was about to fall, I reached out to grab her. Unfortunately, I was one step late. Who would have thought that Liu Zhi was wronged because of this? I asked me to say that it was the fourth girl who accidentally fell down. At that time, the fourth girl stepped on the railing below to watch the dragon boat race. Liu Zhi advised the fourth girl to come down. The fourth girl refused to listen, so I didn't persuade her. As a result, the fourth girl fell into the water accidentally. I guess Liu Zhi was afraid that the marquis would blame her for not taking good care of the fourth girl, so she threw the dirty water on my head!"
Her voice was crisp and full of energy, and it sounded convincing for no reason. At least the maids kneeling beside her looked at Liu Zhi suspiciously. Liu Zhi sweated on his forehead. When she met Chu Qing's sharp gaze, she shivered and defended herself in a trembling voice: "No, the fourth girl stood firmly. She would never fall if no one pushed her!"
If it is really dangerous to stand on the railing, she will also pull the girl down, which is clearly Sixitui!
"In other words, you only saw Sixi reach out, but didn't see Sixi pushing the girl?" Chu Qing asked with a calm face.
Liu Zhi was originally very excited because of accusing Sixi. At this moment, when Chu Qing asked this, her eyes immediately changed. She bit her lip, as if she wanted to lie but couldn't make up her mind immediately, which was exactly the same as Chu Man's hesitation before lying.
Chu Hong sighed in his heart, turned around and said to his father, "Father, my sister is playful and unintentionally fell into the water. Liu Zhi was wrongly accused Si Xi of shirking responsibility. Such a maid is not good at protecting her, so it's better to sell it." He heard his sister insist that someone would push her, but he believed it. Now it seems that he underestimated his sister's resentment towards her sister, and in a short time he thought of using this matter to accuse her sister of her, which coincided with Liu Zhi.
The willow branches fell into the abyss, climbed up to Chu Hong with his knees and begged him crying: "Third Master, I am wronged. How could a person as big as a fourth girl not stand firmly and fall into the water? She..."
"How old is the fourth girl? She is only eleven. If you don't care about such dangerous things, what's the use of keeping you in the Marquis' Mansion?" Chu Hong kicked away this useless maid. If she looked down on her sister, her sister would not fall into the water, and would not be confused and wronged by the legitimate sister, nor would she be unhappy for her father.
"Pull it out, buy twenty boards before selling it." Chu Qing suddenly spoke and concluded the case.
Fugui immediately brought someone to block Liu Zhi's mouth and took her out.
Chu Qing ordered Chu Hong: "Go and see Manman and explain it to her clearly."
Chu Hong retreated with a pale face.
Chu Qing leaned on the back of the chair and waved his hand to chase the maids in front of him: "You all go back too."
The maids said goodbye in unison, turned around, and walked out one after another.
Chu Qing casually turned the tea bowl and recalled the position of the girls at the bow of the boat. He looked at Shuiyun standing next to the willow branches.
Shui Yun had no idea, and after going out, he went back to the west courtyard of the third bedroom with Xianyin.
"What did you say?" The third lady sent away the other maids and asked Shui Yun alone.
Shuiyun whispered: "As the wife expected."
It was also a fault for Chu Man that he was not careful. If she stood honestly, she might not be able to succeed easily. But Chu Man stepped on the railing below and almost lay down on her upper body. Then she made a little mistake and just pushed her hand while others were not paying attention. Liu Zhi's idiot really pushed the charge to Si Xi.
The third lady nodded with satisfaction.
Chu Qing is now believing his daughter, and instinctively stands on the side of his daughter. Now that he believes that it is Liu Zhi's false accusation, he will definitely take his anger against Aunt Xia and Chu Man. Can Aunt Xia still bear it?
Once a person loses his mind, he often does something crazy, and she just waits to watch the fun.

In Chu Man's room, Aunt Xia was stunned after hearing Chu Hong's explanation.
Chu Hong advised her sister earnestly: "Including this time, my sister targeted her twice, which made her father unhappy. You should be more at ease in the future and stop causing trouble."
Chu Man was wronged, but his brother didn't feel sorry for her but blamed her. He couldn't help but tremble all over: "Dad doesn't believe me, you don't believe me. What's the matter with Chu Han? You all believe her or not!" He whimpered in Aunt Xia's arms and started crying.
Seeing that she was stubborn, Chu Hong sighed helplessly and said to her mother: "Mom, please advise my sister, I'll leave first."
Seeing his son go out, Aunt Xia pursed her lips and helped her daughter up for the last time and asked: "Manman, tell the truth to your mother, is there really someone pushing you?"
Chu Man nodded crying, "Mom, what should I do? My father and brother don't believe me, they all believe Chu Han..."
"Manman doesn't cry, I believe you." Aunt Xia hugged her daughter tightly, coaxed her softly, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind.
All the changes in the mansion started with Chu Han’s amnesia. She had not doubted the truth before because Chu Han had an attitude of not violating the river with her daughter Jingshui. However, when she saw her daughter fall into the water and almost died, Aunt Xia had to suspect that Chu Han’s amnesia was pretending to be gentle. She first pretended to be gentle and pleased Chu Qing, and then deliberately provoked her daughter to target her, so that her daughter could leave a foundation to bully her legitimate sister from Chu Qing. Now she has completely won Chu Qing’s trust. When the time is right, Chu Han avenged her daughter.
What a deep scheming!
Was it the people from Wukangbo Mansion guided me?
Then, if this time is not successful, what methods will be used next time?
Holding her thin daughter in her arms, Aunt Xia's eyes gradually became firmer.
Since Chu Han can pretend, she exposes her true face to Chu Qing.

Hanzhu knew nothing about the thoughts of the people in the Hou Mansion. For her, Chu Qing did not doubt her. She returned Sixi's innocence and dealt with the culprit Liu Zhi. This matter was over. What she was even more worried about was the upcoming birthday of Chu Han.
Did Zhou Wenjia give up? He didn't give up, and how did Cheng Yu plan to act?
The man's gentle eyes and low voice poured into his head again, and Hanzhu couldn't help but lose his mind.
Chu Qing looked at her in confusion. Seeing her daughter staring at the steamed sea bass in the dish, she picked up a piece for her and smiled and said, "Eat if you want to eat, don't always eat vegetarian dishes. Look at you, A Xun is getting fatter and thinner, you are getting thinner."
Hanzhu looked at the dishes in the bowl, her face gradually turned red, she was not greedy for fish...
Chu Qing laughed silently.
His daughter doesn't like to act coquettishly with him, so he likes to see his daughter blushing. Only then did the relationship between the father and daughter get closer. He also picked up a piece of fish meat for Ah Xun and fed it to the little guy's mouth. Chu Qing looked at his daughter and said, "What gift do Hanhan want on the birthday of the day after tomorrow? You said, Daddy gave it to you."
"I want a little dragon boat." Ah Xun raised his head and said with a compliment, "I can't paddle the big ones, but the small ones can paddle the small ones."
Chu Qing pinched his face, "I didn't ask you again, sister said first, sister said, daddy, buy it for you together."
After hearing this, Axun immediately urged his sister to speak up quickly.
Hanzhu had nothing to want, looked at Ah Xun and said, "Dad just buy it for Ah Xun. I don't need it, I have everything there."
My daughter was polite to him. Chu Qing thought for a while and said, "Let's do it this way. Daddy will come back early tomorrow afternoon and take you two to Qiqiaolou to pick jewelry. Hanhan is so old, Daddy hasn't taken you to the jewelry shop yet."
The gentle eyes were filled with guilt.
Hanzhu declined twice, but Chu Qing insisted on insisting, so she had to respond.
