Chapter 087: The mountains and rivers are at the end, and the willows and flowers are bright
Although Chun'er confessed to adding hibiscus to Lao Gege's incense burner and putting jade pendants to Degege's house to frame me, she never admitted that she put hibiscus in Xiaoshunzi's house, and knew the arrangement of the whole thing and the identity of the main messenger behind the scenes from the beginning.
Standing aside and listening to Chun'er's confession in silence, thinking about the truth of her words left and right, until Yinzhen asked, "What do you think?"
I whispered, "Half-truths." She really hasn't let Hibiscus go to the little shunzi house since she didn't leave her that day, and we don't usually go out of the yard, so there's not much chance of her wanting to get in and do this. However, it must be untrue to bump into Degege by chance. I did meet with her at the time of the accident that day, but I can't confirm it now. ”
When I said that she and I had met this that day, another doubt came to my mind. In other words, if Chun'er really wants to put me to death, and now that she has reached this step of the field that she can't protect herself, why don't you just pull out the relationship between Yinyu and me and pull me back, but it seems that she also avoids talking about this matter, so she recognized that the jade pendant originally belonged to her, and deliberately covered up the intersection between me and Yinyu.
"I think so, too, if you want to put hibiscus in Junko's house, it must be a ghost in your yard. This matter has to be checked again by the people in your yard......" Yin Zhen said after thinking about it.
Hearing Yinzhen say the inner ghost, my first reaction was to think of the Qian family. Maybe it was Chun'er's betrayal that made me start to distrust things like friendship. But deep down, she repeatedly denied her speculation - no, it won't be the Qian family, she has no grievances with her, and even has the grace to save her life, why would she do such a thing. "Then check it, people who dare to eat inside and outside are a scourge after all. In short, no matter who I find, I will not be soft-hearted again, and I will deal with it according to the rules. I gritted my teeth secretly and said coldly.
Seeing that Cong Chun'er couldn't ask anything, the officials of the Criminal Department came over to ask Yinzhen if he wanted to use torture. Yinzhen said to me: "She is your old acquaintance, you need to decide whether to punish or not." “
Although he was resentful of Chun'er, when it came to torture to extract confessions, he was repulsed in his heart, so he had to throw this hot potato back to the official of the Criminal Department, and asked: "Do you think that the use of torture will definitely be useful?"
When the official of the Criminal Department pondered for a while, he responded: "The lower official thinks that he may be able to ask something more with the punishment, but he may not be able to ask, just look at how much benefit she has promised her by the people behind the scenes......
Thinking calmly about what this official said, she also felt that there was some truth, and she was also worried that she would not be able to bear the torture and said what she shouldn't say, so she said to Yinzhen: "Don't be punished first, start from the side, and wait for other eyebrows, and then find a way to let her tell the truth." “
When Yinzhen heard my words, he suddenly showed a shallow smile and said: "Fortunately, you are still the same upright and kind you, and I am worried that you will change your mind because of this incident." “
I have always known that Yinzhen is uncertain and fickle. I didn't expect him to dig a hole for me here at such a time. I didn't ask him what he would think if I agreed to the torture. Because I don't need to ask, I know that he has always valued me, that is, I am different from those scheming and ruthless women in the harem mansion, if I really agree to the execution, it means that I have changed, and I have become as selfish and ruthless as these women.
It seems that the Zen principle of "sowing good causes and reaping good results" is indeed correct. Although it was only because of the selfishness of self-preservation that he was moved by good thoughts, he was able to escape by mistake, and when he thought about it, he still couldn't help but be afraid and happy. This secretly told himself in his heart that no matter what he did in the future, he still had to be a person and leave a line, but he had a clear conscience.
Chun'er was brought back into custody, and Yinzhen arranged for officials from the Criminal Department to secretly interrogate a group of people in our hospital, including Qian and her servants, overnight. Xu was afraid of facing the betrayal of someone close to me again, so this time I didn't ask to be an observer, but nested in Yinzhen's study in a daze. Yinzhen didn't go either, and was busy dealing with the official business at hand. The room was quiet, and it wasn't until dawn that the people from the Criminal Department sent news that the inner ghost had been found.
I looked at Yinzhen and didn't dare to ask him who the inner ghost was. Yinzhen handed me the paper full of confessions with a serious face and said "see for yourself".
I saw that his face was not good, and my heart sank slightly, and I secretly wondered: Could it really be someone in my own house? With this concern, I began to look through the confession with trepidation.
Wanqing is not, Yunhui is not, Aster...... Neither is it. Excluding the three closest to me, I felt a little more comfortable, and I was glad that the few around me were still good. However, the joy was followed by an even heavier heart.
If it's not these three in his own courtyard, it will only be from the Qian family. I secretly prayed that anyone around the Qian family could do it, and it would be better not to be the Qian family. couldn't stand the torment in his heart, so he directly found out Qian's confession and read it word by word.
After reading it, he sat down abruptly, let out a long breath, and muttered: "It's good that it's not her, it's good that it's not ......."
Even the Qian family was excluded, and my heart finally settled down, and I took out the confessions of the three people around the Qian family again. After reading all the confessions, I walked up to Yinzhen, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and pushed him, and said coquettishly: "Your serious look just now almost scared me to death, I thought there was another white-eyed wolf like Chun'er next to me, so it was a false alarm." “
Yin Zhen opened his eyes and glanced at me, closed his eyes again and said, "What you care about is whether the people around you are reliable, and what worries me is that the minions in this house are becoming more and more disagreeable." I really don't know how Fujin has managed his family over the years, how he can let a good inner courtyard be like this. “
Hearing Yinzhen blame all the mistakes on the Wulanala clan, he couldn't help but pout, deliberately showing a playful expression, silently expressing his disapproval of what he said. "What kind of expression are you?" Yinzhen raised his hand and pinched my face, frowned and said with a smile on his lips: "If you have something to say, just say it." “
I chuckled out and said, "Although I had some discord with Fujin before, I still want to avenge her for what you just said." “
Yin Zhen pursed her lips and said nothing, stared at me with interest, and nodded for me to continue. "You have been in the harem for so many years, you should know well that these servants and maids tend to be inflammatory, climb high and step low, although Fu Jin is a wife, but with all due respect, even if I am a servant and maid, I will listen to the servants and maids privately talk that you and Fu Jin are not warm, but the opposite side of Fu Jin is more concerned. Imagine how difficult it would be for the servants and maids to talk about Fujin, a serious master, in private, how difficult it would be for her to be in charge of the inner courtyard. You don't think I'm targeting Fang Fujin, just think about how she dared to embezzle the expenses in the treasury at will, you can understand how powerful she is. For the sake of harmony in the inner courtyard and let you feel at ease, Fujin on the other side can see that he has connived and retreated in every way. In this way, there are naturally some things in the house that are easy to manage, and some things that are not easy to manage, I won't say much, you can also figure it out. ”
After saying this, seeing that Yin Zhen seemed to be about to speak, without waiting for him to refute his voice, he preemptively spoke and continued: "Don't say that this matter is Fu Jin's own failure to deal with it, I'll just ask, have you really never heard anyone say that half of Fu Jin's sentence is bad over the years?
In fact, I would not have said these words before, but now it is not as good as before, although I still don't like the Ulanala clan, after experiencing the careful and ruthless calculations of the Li clan, coupled with various interests and considerations, I finally made up my mind to maintain the same camp with the Wulanala clan, who seems to have an unstable position, but actually has an absolute advantage and a controlling position. Because of this relationship, I naturally won't let Yinzhen dislike her more and more, on the contrary, I will find a way to help her stabilize her relationship with Yinzhen, even if she is still not favored, at least it will not deteriorate again.
In the face of my questioning rhetorical question, Yinzhen fell into silent deep thought. He is an extremely sensitive and delicate person, and it is good to say this, and he will figure it out for himself without going into details. (To be continued.) )
