Chapter 2008 Spices (5)
The third girl did not move, and continued to whisper softly: "What my daughter is talking about is related to the matter that my parents are taking care of. At this time, it is related to the reputation of the eldest sister and the reputation of Mr. Mu, so there is no delay." .
I was shocked when I heard this and said, "How can Miss Three say this?"
Miss Dong San glanced at me, with a slight smile in her eyes, but did not speak.
I knew that she was still angry because of my refusal to cooperate with her last night, so I said, "I always do what I say. Please make it clear, Miss Three."
After hearing what I said, the third girl said, "That's it. When I passed by my brother's study just now, I saw my brother's servant, Maotai, holding a bag of things and sneaking into the garden. I saw him He looked strange and thought he had stolen something from his brother, so he followed him quietly. Unexpectedly, after he entered the garden, he opened the package in his arms and found a pack of incense inside, some burned and some unburned. They were all thrown into the lake by him."
"When I rushed over, the incense was almost washed away by the lake water, so I only fished out a little bit, so I brought it to show to my parents."
As the third girl spoke, she took out a small porcelain box from her sleeve. After opening it, she revealed some sticky spices inside, which had been stained by water.
Seeing this, Dong Qi's face suddenly became unnatural. After a while, he returned to normal and shouted: "It's just some unnecessary spices. What's the fuss? I haven't told you yet. A daughter's house is actually following a young boy." He's so sneaky in the back, and he's really becoming less and less progressive."
While she was talking, Princess Chaoqing had already helped Dong Waner to stand up. She angrily scolded the three girls and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the yard to observe your filial piety to your aunt? What are you doing out here? What's going on here?" It's not like you, a girl, can listen. Even Qing'er has been sent away by me. Why don't you go back quickly?
The third girl calmly blessed Princess Chaoqing and said, "Don't be busy, mother. My daughter will leave as soon as she finishes speaking."
As he spoke, he raised the box of spices and said, "On the surface, the spices here appear to be fragrant. In fact, if you smell them carefully, you will notice that there is a hint of love in them, but the amount is not large. Naturally, everyone knows what Miqingxiang is made of. Even if it is not used in large amounts, it is enough to change people's nature. That Maotai is my brother's personal servant, and it is convenient for him to enter and leave his study. I am afraid of the conflict between Mr. Mu and his sister. The misunderstanding was caused by the slave. Otherwise, why would he secretly pour out the unburnt spices after Mr. Mu left? It can be seen that he had a guilty conscience. As long as his father caught Maotai's slave, he would definitely do it. The truth can be found out."
The third girl said it very tactfully, and did not expose the Dong family's crime. She only blamed the young man for their use of spices to confuse me. But I am not a fool. How could I not understand such an obvious thing?
No wonder, at that time, I couldn't help myself, my blood was boiling, and I had such feelings for a woman like Dong Waner. It turned out to be because of the incense of love!
So despicable, so shameless!
I had heard of such dirty things before, but I never thought that one day I would fall victim to it. Therefore, when I felt strange about my body at that time, I always thought it was because I drank too much and had sex after drinking. However, I didn't expect that someone was plotting against me, and it was plotting against me by my most trusted friend.
Now it seems that my good friend of five years is nothing more than a sanctimonious hypocrite!
The conspiracy was exposed, and Princess Chaoqing and her family were all embarrassed. Dong Waner, who had been looking for life and death just now, calmed down and said, "Third sister, it's true as you said, this spice contains the fragrance of love. You are the only one." How did the daughter of the boudoir find out? Could it be that you saw the servant dumping some unused spices, so you took the opportunity to make a fuss and deliberately added something unworthy to the discarded spices to frame you? Ours."
"Yes, that must be the case."
Princess Chaoqing stared at her and said, "Third girl, do you still think that your aunt was killed by me, so you always hold a grudge against me and seek revenge? You know that if you do this, you will make Mr. Mu You misunderstood us and did this deliberately to ruin your sister and our Dong family's reputation?"
"My daughter doesn't dare. If my mother and sister suspect that I have tampered with the incense, they might as well ask my brother to light the incense to see if it is the spice in his room. I think Mr. Mu will be able to smell it!" He stood up, looked at Princess Chaoqing with calm eyes, and replied in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
"This is a good idea." Before anyone from the Dong family could say anything, I rushed to say, "At that time, I thought the fragrance was unique, and I wanted to ask Mr. Dong for some. I will definitely be able to smell it now."
Now, I no longer bother to call Dong Qi ‘junior’ or ‘Hanqing’ (Dong Qi’s nickname). In my heart, he is now an out-and-out villain.
After hearing what I said, everyone in the Dong family looked unhappy. Princess Chao Qing said, "Master Mu said this, does he mean he doesn't trust us? You would rather believe the words of a concubine than trust us. This is how you treat The attitude towards elders and friends? "
She wanted to use her identity as an elder and friend to kidnap me. Of course I would not agree. She sneered and said, "This matter involves my reputation and your daughter's reputation. It would be better to find out in person. Otherwise, if someone says something about me in the future, If I have bad behavior and am immoral after drinking, won’t I suffer a big loss? "
Dong Qi's face turned red and white, he hesitated and said: "What a coincidence, when I invited Chongwen to drink at noon, I had already burned the last bit of incense, and now it's gone."
I sneered and said: "That's really a coincidence. I originally wanted to verify it. If it wasn't for what the third lady said, I would have planned to take responsibility for my actions and really married Miss Dong. Since the incense is gone, there is no evidence. I'm afraid this marriage can't be done."
The third lady said: "If you can trust Mr. Mu, I can adjust the incense in my brother's room. When the time comes, I will adjust a few similar incense. If you can smell which incense is from my brother's room, it proves that I didn't wrongly accuse anyone, and it can also prove that you are innocent."
"That's great. I didn't expect that the girl has such a skill. Thank you!" Hearing that there is a way to clear the injustice, I can't help but be overjoyed and grateful to the third lady.
The third lady said politely: "It's just a little effort. If it can really make the truth clear, it's worth it even if it's a little tiring."
Listening to our two singing the same tune, Prince Consort Dong was a little annoyed and said angrily: "Lian'er, you are a girl, why do you get involved in these adult affairs? Besides, how can you know anything about perfume making? Why don't you go back to mourn for your aunt?"
The third lady smiled and said: "Who said that people who mourn can't make perfume? Has Dad forgotten? My grandparents have always been perfumers in the capital's largest rouge shop, 'Mifangzhai'. My grandparents can make rouge, powder, and famous fragrances used by the empresses, princesses, princesses, and princesses in the palace. My aunt has been influenced by her since she was a child and is very good at making perfume. My daughter also learned some from her aunt when she was a child. A mere goose pear tent fragrance and aphrodisiac fragrance are not difficult for my daughter."
