NFBE [170] She did it
[170] She did it
Jiang Huagui arrived late and didn't know what had happened. She looked at the people in the main house in surprise and didn't dare to speak.
"Why don't you call this little beast back? Do you really want it to hurt your second sister?"
Since Old Lady Jiang had spoken, Jiang Huagui dared not disobey. He hurriedly called out to Zhaocai several times before he reluctantly called it back to his side.
After Zhaocai left, Jiang Fugui put down his hand, and Shantu and Shanying went forward to check if she was injured.
Jiang Fugui squinted his eyes and looked at Zhaocai, snorting in his heart, I'm going to eat this broken bird of yours in the next two days!
"When we get back, tie up this little beast. Don't let it run around anymore, and don't let it hurt anyone!"
Old Madam Jiang was speaking to Jiang Weishi, and her meaning was very clear. I don't understand, but as the mistress of the family, don't you understand either?
Jiang Weishi replied cautiously with a smile, "Yes, yes, I'll tie it up when I get home and make sure it doesn't run around again."
After the two maids, Qingyan and Qingyun, confirmed the damage to the new clothes, they said to Old Lady Jiang, "Old Lady, these look like bird peck and claw marks. It looks like it was from a fairly large bird."
When Old Lady Jiang heard this, she frowned coldly. Just as she was about to continue, Jiang Weishi interrupted her, saying, "No, that's impossible! It could have been a chicken or a duck, or some other wild bird! Besides, doesn't the second girl have adult chickens and ducks in her yard? Maybe she accidentally got it because she didn't want to replace it with Hua'er."
If Jiang Wei hadn't said this, no one would have thought too much about it, but now there is a ready-made suspect, right?
"A wild bird? Go catch one in the yard and take a look! Humph, if Nannan doesn't want to change into new clothes, then what are you doing in Beili Garden? Just to look at some clothes and help her judge them?" Old Lady Jiang's face darkened, and she raised her chin towards Zhaocai: "Doesn't it look like this little beast?"
Nanny Qingyun pulled the scraps of cloth closer and gestured through the air: "Very different, almost the same."
Jiang Huagui took two steps back, protecting Zhaocai. "No, no, Zhaocai is a colorful parrot, very precious. My eldest cousin only brought it to the mansion a few days ago, and it's not familiar with the location of my second sister's yard, so it couldn't have done it. Besides, Zhaocai is usually very well-behaved and never bites clothes or rubs his mouth. I'm afraid it's the poultry and livestock in my second sister's yard that have escaped the pen..."
Oh, listen up, you need to be nice to attract wealth!
Jiang Fugui pretended not to understand what Jiang Huagui was saying, both overtly and covertly, but said with a look of disapproval: "Fourth sister, Zhaocai has been running around the mansion more than once and even attacked me twice in a row. If it was really obedient and well-behaved, why would it be like this? Actually, I don't mind it, but what if it bumps into Grandmother and Second Uncle one day? What if it accidentally scares the distinguished guests who come to visit the mansion? How will I atone for it then? It's not good to ask the whole mansion to apologize together, right? Besides, my aunt and fourth sister keep mentioning the poultry and livestock in my yard. Do they think I should have dealt with it myself and then want to put the blame on others? I just want to ask, how big are the beaks of chickens and ducks? How can they compare to the huge beak of Zhaocai?"
Old Madam Jiang's face turned even darker, and when she looked at Jiang Weishi, there was fire in her eyes.
Just think about it, Jiang Weishi and Jiang Huagui wanted to shift the blame to the poultry and livestock in Jiang Fugui's yard, but those were sent there by Old Lady Jiang. Doesn't that mean she was deliberately causing trouble?
