2100 Suddenly remembered
Gu Xin asked ye cuiru what she bought and ye cuiru replied that she bought flowers. Across the street from xima alley, there was a family with only one mother-in-law and granddaughter. The mother-in-law knew how to make flower cakes and ye cuiru would often go to the village outside the South City to collect flowers to help out the grandfather and granddaughter.
....
“Then what’s with the flower on the sole of your shoe? Song Yi said that he saw a flower on the sole of your shoe on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. It’s a flower that only appears on the official road outside East City. In the entire capital and its suburbs, there are only two places that have that kind of flower.” Gu Xin raised her doubts and stared at ye cuiru.
“Brother Yi?” Ye cuiru was stunned for a moment before she said sadly, ” I think brother Yi still said it! He had questioned me before. However, this commoner really only wanted to send miss Xie home. The flowers on the soles of my shoes might have been accidentally stained by the flowers in the flower field when I bought them!”
“Brother Yi, why are you treating me like this?” Ye cuiru began to wipe her tears as she spoke. Princess, I’m in love with brother Yi. He must have told you about it. However, brother Yi and miss Xie had a good relations.h.i.+p. This commoner knows that she can’t compare to miss Xie and has already suppressed this heart. Miss Xie knew that she and her brother Yi were neighbors. They grew up together and often asked her about brother Yi’s preferences. That day, when miss Xie saw this commoner, she also came to ask this commoner as usual. She said that she embroidered a pouch for brother Yi and so on, but this commoner had to go and collect flowers. If she was late, it would be too late, so miss Xie said that she would go with me. She got into the carriage with the commoner and asked many questions about brother Yi. The commoner couldn’t take her out of the city, so she could only send her home. I didn’t expect that in brother Yi’s heart, miss Xie’s harm was actually caused by this commoner?”
Gu Xin was unmoved as she watched ye cuiru’s tears fall.
This excuse sounded extremely genuine.
However, her father had told her that only 70% truth and 30% lie would make it difficult for people to tell the truth from the lie.
Ye cuiru cried for a while. Seeing that Gu Xin had no reaction, she also quieted down. However, her sad expression and tears were still there.
Seeing that she had stopped crying, Gu Xin asked, ” “Then why did you lie last night? You even asked your brother and sister-in-law to lie together?”
“I’m afraid,” ye cuiru whispered. This lowly one heard that miss Xie did not return on the seventh day, and on the seventh day, this lowly one met her at five o ‘clock. This lowly one was worried that the Yamen people would suspect this lowly one, so this lowly one did not dare to say.”
Gu Xin,’you don’t dare to say it? Or are you deliberately hiding it?”
Ye cuiru kowtowed and said,’Princess, please investigate! The commoner went to buy flowers for granny sun and the others. There were witnesses to this. I really don’t have any.”
Gu Xin took out her earrings and beaded flower for ye cuiru to look at.
Ye cuiru’s eyes were filled with tears as she pointed at the Pearl earrings. “This is young lady Xie’s. This commoner heard young lady Xie say that this was a birthday gift from her elder brother on her birthday. However, miss Xie didn’t wear this pair of earrings that day.”
Gu Xin saw that her expression did not seem to be fake and kept her things.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her mind was like a ball of yarn that had been pulled by a cat. She couldn’t find the head and sort it out.
She rubbed her temples and said,”someone, bring her for a walk.”
Before she could finish, ye cuiru seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, ” “Princess, this subject suddenly remembered that miss Xie once told this subject that she wanted to buy the courtyard next to brother Yi’s house.”
