Chapter Ninety-Four: Whipping

After the old man finished speaking, he opened the wooden box, took out a bottle of pills from it, and handed it to the maidservant girl on the side. He bowed to Gu Qingfang and said, "The prescription is still bothering the people in the house to go to the pharmacy." ”

Gu Qingfang saw that the doctor said that Su Jingyi was fine, and in an instant, a heart hanging in the air finally let go. After the old man left, a maid followed.

Lin Wanyan happened to meet the doctor who came out of it just after entering the door, and she smiled politely at him and nodded. Then he walked to the wing.

Gu Qingfang saw Su Jingyi, who was lying on the bed, eat an antidote, her heart finally fell, and suddenly her complexion changed, and her whole body seemed to be enveloped by a cold feeling. People don't dare to get close to half a minute. It seems that the next second will be destroyed by her sudden coldness, which can't help but make people tremble.

"Go and summon all the maids and family members in the whole house to the compound, today I want to open the disembowelment for interrogation, I want to see who is so bold and reckless that he is admitted to being poisoned?" Lin Wanyan looked at the woman lying on the bed, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The compound is located at the entrance of the hall, a flower pot compound surrounded by various flowers and trees, the compound is clean and spacious, surrounded by flowers, trees and bamboo forests. The compound was clean and spotless, and the maidservants who did not know the situation at that time hurriedly walked over and arranged them in the previous order.

For a while, there was a lot of noise in the compound, and the unknown situation was disturbed, and the cautious whispers were discussing.

"Be quiet, gather you today, old lady, there is something to announce. Your grandmother found that her stomach pain was unbearable this morning, and the doctor said that she had been poisoned by arsenic. ”

I only listened to the grandmother in her fifties, and as soon as the words fell, there was a heated discussion on the scene. A few family members brought a Taishi chair and walked over. Gu Qingfang leaned over and did so, only to see her sharp eyes sweeping towards the people opposite.

At that time, Mama saw that everyone was still talking and disturbing, so she interrupted: "Who of you is usually responsible for the diet and daily life of the eldest and youngest grandmothers?"

The moment the mother slipped down, the two maids' bodies trembled, their expressions were panicked and scared, and they both took a few steps forward and knelt on their feet and said: "The two slaves and maids are responsible for the diet and daily life of the young grandmother, but the slave and maid really did not poison the eldest and young grandmother." Ask the old lady to see."

"Hmph... Dare to quibble, you didn't poison it, could it be that the poison would run into Jingyi's mouth by itself? You two are the most people around her, and the people who have the most chance to be poisoned, I see that you two don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Someone came and beat me both of them until they confessed."

When the two maidservants heard about the punishment, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Old lady, the slave and maid really didn't poison it, poisoned the young grandmother, please be gracious, and be clear. ”

Gu Qingfang's head was already angry, how could she still bother with the two of them, a long stool was moved, and two tall and thin housekeepers walked and casually set up a maid and pressed her on the bench.

As a long, thick stick unceremoniously hit the maidservant's buttocks, the courtyard cried and begged for mercy for a moment. The servant girl who had not yet been tortured knelt aside and looked at the beaten servant girl in front of her, and she trembled her body excitedly. She knelt down and begged for mercy: "The slave is really not a poisoner, as soon as breakfast is finished, the slave and maid will go back with the young grandmother, when will the young grandmother be fine." ”

The slave maid remembered that it was the second young grandmother, and it was her maid Lianxin, who brought a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, and after the eldest young grandmother drank the raw chicken soup, she soon had unbearable abdominal pain. Ask the old lady to see clearly, it is really not a slave who poisoned her. ”

"Yes, yes... Also, the second young grandmother has always been at odds with our master, and that bowl of chicken soup was brought by her maid Lianxin..."Before the little maid finished speaking, Lianxin came from the crowd and hurriedly complained: "You don't want to spew blood, the second young grandmother is stupid and will not poison your wife in the ginseng chicken soup?"

In order to save her life, the little maid also unceremoniously countered: "The slave and maid have no blood to spew people, and the discord between the second young grandmother and the eldest young grandmother in this courtyard is already known to everyone." ”

After the little maid finished speaking, she wiped away her tears, she locked her eyes on Gu Qingfang and continued: "Old lady, the slave maid's words are true. The young grandmother is still alive after using the morning and aftermath, and it is only after drinking the bowl of ginseng that it will be like this. If the old lady doesn't believe it, send someone to check the rest of the ironing to find out if it's true or false. ”

Lin Wanyan faced the slander of the little maidservant, she didn't have any negative emotions, just because she was not the one who poisoned her from beginning to end, so she could be so calm.

At this time, the beaten maid could no longer bear it and fainted. Gu Qingfang's face was a little complicated, she swept Lin Wanyan who was not far from her, the light yellow ordinary shirt with the collar was embroidered with beautiful plum blossoms, and the pink gauze skirt was underneath, and a light yellow was embroidered with a good-looking peony flower on the waist, tied to her willow waist, which seemed to be just an ordinary ordinary person's dress, but it looked so good on her body.

The moment Lin Wanyan turned her head, she happened to bump into the gaze of Na Sweep, she lowered her head and walked a few steps forward, and said to the maid kneeling on the ground: "Just do as she wants," Lin Wanyan didn't know that because she released the consequences of these words, it would be bad news for her.

Gu Qingfang beckoned, and a family member hurriedly ran over, and in less than a quarter of an hour, she came over with the remaining earthen pot, and there were still some remnants of chicken soup in it. Mama took a silver hairpin from her hair and shook it lightly a few times in the perm.

The silver hairpin turned black shortly after it was removed. At that time, Gu Qingfang almost fainted in anger, the little maid saw this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, she felt that she was finally ordinary her grievances, standing in the crowd A maid in a light blue dress, she saw the scene at this time, and couldn't help but show a smug smile on her face.

Lin Wanyan saw that the silver needle turned black, she took a few steps back in disbelief, and then she explained: "This... No, my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were wronged, and I didn't poison them. ”

Gu Qingfang's old face had already become gloomy and hideous, and she roared angrily: "The evidence is like a mountain, I can't allow you to quibble, kneel." ”

Lin Wanyan was so confused by this unexpected that she couldn't explain why there was arsenic poison in the ginseng soup and chicken soup.

Seeing this, Lianxin protected Lin Wanyan behind her in time, and she argued with reason: "This is a conspiracy, this is a frame-up, no matter how stupid my young lady is, she will not put poison in the chicken soup and kill herself." Old lady, even if you don't like our young lady, you can't indiscriminately charge our young lady with this trumped-up crime."

"Bold, you dare to talk to me like this, you have no dignity, a cheap maid is so arrogant and domineering, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you will be the rules of my Murong family?"

"Come on, pull down this who is neither big nor small, and reward her with twenty long whips. Gu Qingfang's heart was beating with anger, and her old face couldn't stop twitching.

Seeing this, Lin Wanyan knelt down in time to dissuade her: "Mother-in-law, Lianxin is also protective of her heart, and she is stubborn to contradict her mother-in-law, please be merciful, if she goes down with twenty long whips, she will die." Mother..."

"Shut up... I'll settle your business with you slowly and pull her down. ”

Several family members came over, and when Lin Wanyan saw this, she immediately got up and protected Lianxin behind her. Lian Xin's frightened body couldn't stop trembling slightly, and the family easily pushed Lin Wanyan to the ground, Lian Xin ran to take Lin Wanyan's hand, and just grabbed her wrist, but was grabbed by the family on the back of her shoulder.

Lin Wanyan crawled on the ground and watched Lianxin let go of her hand little by little, tears had already flowed out of nowhere, Lin Wanyan cried bitterly and whispered: "Lianxin..."

Lianxin tried hard to break free, but was still caught by the two family, Lianxin was pulled to the middle, at this time standing in a row of maidservants, had already retreated and scattered, they looked at the pair of masters in front of them, some got carried away, and some felt cruel and didn't dare to look.

One whip and two whips waved her sleeves on Lianxin's thin body, and she rolled on the ground in pain. Seeing this, Lin Wanyan knelt down in front of Gu Qingfang on her feet, she clenched the corner of Gu Qingfang's clothes and begged for mercy: "Mother-in-law, please go around the lotus heart She will die if she fights it." Lin Wanyan begged hard, but she couldn't get a trace of sympathy from Gu Qingfang, and she ignored her coldly from beginning to end.

Lin Wanyan burst into tears, crying silently begging for mercy had no effect in Gu Qingfang's eyes, watching Lianxin being pumped and rolling to the ground with blood, shouting in pain, Lin Wanyan rushed up to hug Lianxin, and when the family saw this, they looked at Gu Qingfang with some embarrassment, only to see her complaining: "Fight... Call me, the servant girl is at fault, and the master is to blame. ”

A whip came down with a hot stinging pain, and immediately enveloped her whole body, Lin Wanyan protected Lianxin under her, she held Lianxin's body and didn't let her have any chance to break free, one whip, two whips unscrupulously waved on Lin Wanyan's back, as well as her arms. Her clothes had long been beaten to shreds, and the bright red blood stained her clothes.

"Miss... It's the lotus heart that is useless and always causes you trouble. Lian Xin looked at the young lady of her family, even if she was pumped in pain, she still didn't say a word. She was distressed and wanted to break free, but was hugged tighter by Lin Wanyan.

"No... It's not your fault. It's me, it's me who hurt you. I'm sorry Lianxin, since I got married here, I have never let you live a good life for a day. and make you suffer" Lin Wanyan's tears soaked her cheeks, she endured the hot stinging sensation from her body, although it hurt, she didn't make a sound, she bit her lip, the soft lip was bitten by her, a few drops of blood were left, but she didn't feel the pain, because compared to the stinging pain on her body, she bit her lip compared to the pain, it was like a hair. She let the whip whipped on her back, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. landed on her cheek. Her face had already turned pale. There is no bloodshot.

"Madame, twenty lashes have been drawn. Gu Qingfang waved his hand, and the family took a few steps back.

"The reason why your handmaid is so unpopular is all the responsibility of you, the master. ”

Lin Wanyan let go of Lianxin, and she knelt down and walked a few steps. Locked his eyes on Gu Qingfang opposite.

"Mother-in-law, Lianxin, she is just the heart of the protector. There is no big fault, Wanyan did not poison Sister Jingyi. She was just speaking for me, and it was certainly wrong to bump into my mother-in-law in terms of language, but she was not punished severely. ”

"Bold, the evidence is conclusive, and you are still so quibbling. ”

Lin Wanyan Yaoyao explained: "Wanyan is not guilty, and she is not poisoned. Mother-in-law, just imagine, even if Wanyan wants to poison her sister, she will not be stupid enough to poison the ginseng soup she made, it is so obvious, how can your daughter-in-law not know? ”

Lin Wanyan's words made Gu Qingfang wake up, yes, with the understanding of getting along during this time, Lin Wanyan is a smart and clever woman, she will not poison the ginseng soup she made like this. Isn't this pushing yourself into the fire pit?
