045 Punishment
Nangong Yue suddenly cried even louder, angry and anxious:
"Third Aunt, you even refuse to spare your niece!" She looked at Su Shi
aggrievedly: "Grandmother, Third Auntie wants to accuse my mother and
me without any evidence. If this spread out, granddaughter’s reputation will
all ruined by her! Grandma, you have to do something for me!"
Su Shi looked deeply at Nangong Yue and slowly
nodded, "Yue'er, you're right ......"
At these words, Huang Shi was driven into frenzy, and
the blood in her body squeezed towards her head, saying without thinking:
"Who says I have no proof! I remember that four items are missing from
these two account books, the Ten Luohan famille-rose enamelled winter melon
floor vase, A golden flowing clouds and bozan furnace, the Blue and White
Flower Plum Vase, and stunning landscape Blue and White Porcelain Floor
Vase."
Nangong Yue suddenly stopped crying, and her tear-washed
eyes were as clear as the sky after the rain, so bright that they were somewhat
haunting.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she said,
"Third Aunt, you have a good memory! There are at least several hundred
items in this storehouse, even Grandmother and Wang mama may not be able
to remember them all clearly. Third Auntie, you can remember all these items so
clearly!"
Huang Shi's face paled slightly at first, but she
immediately said with conviction: "Of course, I was also in charge of the
warehouse and knew exactly what was in there. So of course I knew what was
missing at a glance."
Nangong Yue stared at Huang Shi with a smile, and
slowly added: "Since Third Aunt has such a good memory, she must know all
the items in this account book very well," she casually picked up one of
the account books and brushed through a few pages, "Do you still remember
this large blue and white Qilin winter melon floor vase? "
"I ...... I certainly remember." Huang Shi
stammered.
"Oops, Third Aunt, Yue'er has just accidentally lost
her eyesight." Nangong Yue pretended to apologise, "So this is a
large enamelled yellow qilin winter melon floor vase."
"I, I remembered it wrong."
Huang Shi still wanted to argue, but Su Shi
no longer wanted to hear anymore, "Huang Shi, that's enough!"
It was clear enough that it was Huang Shi who was a
thief and remembered the forgeries that had been switched.
Nangong Yue said slowly and methodically from the side,
"Third Aunt, actually the one who stole and swapped the treasury's
collections was you, right? Three years ago, you took advantage of being in
charge of the warehouse and secretly swapped four pieces of the collection.
This time, you were afraid that the matter would be discovered by my mother, so
you simply wanted to throw dirty water on my mother!
Su Shi looked at Huang Shi with
half-narrowed eyes, her face as deep as water, "Huang Shi, this
theft and talkative are both violations of the seven rules, just one of them is
enough for Zhi’er to repudiate you!
As soon as she heard the word
"Xiu(repudiate)", Huang Shi whole person panicked. As if
suddenly lost her strength, she fell to her knees, her tears smeared all over
her face, and begged for forgiveness: "Mother, please forgive your
daughter-in-law!"
Su Shi naturally very
disgusted with her. This Huang Shi usually small minded and her words
are unforgiving which is really unpleasant. But if Huang Shi is
repudiated, it will not only damage Huang Shi's reputation, but also the
reputation of her entire female family members of the Nangong Mansion.
Cheng Jie’er and the others still have to talk about marriage.
She sighed and said, "Huang Shi, although your
sin is unforgivable, but with a mother like you, how will Lin Jie’er and
Hao Ge’er be able to talk about marriage in the future? This time, I
will spare you, go kneel under my porch and read the female commandments a
hundred times!" Seeing Huang Shi's expression relaxed, she added
coldly, "Then go back and punish yourself by copying the female
Commandments a hundred times and forbidding you to step out of your room for
three ...... no, four months!"
The punishment was already much lighter. Huang Shi
hurriedly thanked in gratitude and dared not speak again.
**◆**
After Su Shi and others returned to
Rong'an Tang,Huang Shi knelt down at the corridor, holding "Female Commandments
" in her hand, and read it over and over again...
And Su Shi took Lin Shi,
Nangong Yue came to Dong Cijian again and sat down.
"Yue Jie’er, what kind
of reward do you want?" Su Shi said suddenly inexplicably,
attracting Lin Shi’s thoughtful look.
"Grandmother, the granddaughter
does not ask for anything. Can able to clear my mother's charge, the
granddaughter is already satisfied." Nangong Yue said respectfully. She is
not being polite, she naturally wants nothing.
"Yue Jie’er, Could it be
that you knew it a long time ago..." Lin Shi couldn't help but ask,
with a subtle and strange feeling in his heart.
"That's right. Yue'er knew that
Third Aunt had switched several items in the warehouse." Now that the
truth had come out, Nangong Yue naturally confessed and said the matter as it
was, "On that day, after temporarily delaying my Third aunt, I came to see
my grandmother, told my grandmother about the counterfeit in the warehouse and
issued a military order to find the culprit before the birthday banquet."
After saying that, she stood upright in front of Su Shi and bowed respectfully,
"Grandmother, thank you for giving Yue'er this opportunity, and thank you
for your willingness to cooperate with Yue'er. "
The most important part of the entire plan is naturally Su Shi’s
cooperation. Only due to Su Shi's willingness to cooperate can
Nangong Yue able to perfectly create two fake account books and secretly
switched the real account books of Qi Pozi. Finally made Huang Shi unmasked
and whole truth has been exposed.
Although Su Shi doesn’t like Lin
Shi, but Lin Shi was (Di)legitimate house after all. How could Su
Shi allow Huang Shi this Shu house to frame Di house. So
she gave Nangong Yue this opportunity.
Su Shi looked at Nangong Yue with
complicated eyes. Since Nangong Yue made a military order in front of her, she
had already realized that the third granddaughter had completely changed. When
is it? When did her granddaughter become so smart?
Su Shi turned the Buddha
beads in her hand, meaningfully said: "Yue Jie’er, you have done a
good job in this matter, and you have to be rewarded for your merits."
After saying that, she said to Wang Mama beside her: "I have a pure
gold loop necklace, Go and fetched it for Yue Jie’er."
Since Su Shi had added said
everything, Nangong Yue naturally didnt delay it any more. After receiving the
reward, she went back with her mother, Lin Shi.
Along the way, Lin Shi didn't
speak and her expression was very complicated. She was worried, happy, and
sighed... After returning to the Mozhuyuan, Lin Shi pulled
Nangong Yue and sat face to face on the kangbed, and then said the words that
had been held in her heart for a long time: "Yue Jie’er, you are
too risky this time!" Yue Jie’er succeeded, but Huang Shi was
only punished to copy some books. But if its failed, Su Shi might
completely disgusted Yue Jie’er.
Thinking of this, Lin Shi was a
little scared and said: "Yue Jie’er, don’t do this next time.
Mother would rather be wronged than you take such a risk."
Nangong Yue’s expression cold. She
looked at Lin Shi, her eyes were absolutely firm: "Mother, there
are some things we can't give up. Every time yielding to them we are making
mistake. Our Erfang cannot be a stepping stone for others, let alone be
splashed with dirty water!"
