Chapter 8: Dog Eats Dog
Ling Wanrou's heart was burning with anxiety at the moment, Yi Cui's death must have nothing to do with nectar, but how could she be associated with Ling Haoyue?
"Second sister, Yi Cui went to talk to Ganlu last night, who wanted to go all night and didn't come back, the next day she found that she was drowned in the pond, Ganlu is the second sister's maid, and the second sister is responsible for this matter. ”
Ling Wanrou thought she had found a perfect reason, but she didn't know that she was too much, it was too obvious, this was treating everyone else for a fool!
Ling Haoyue smiled slightly and said, "Big sister, are you saying that Haoyue has no way to go?" Ganlu, what is going on?"
Ganlu's legs weakened, knelt down again, gritted his teeth and said, "County Lord, the slave maid slept in the room last night, and I didn't see Sister Yicui. "Although I was scared in my heart. But it has nothing to do with herself if she bites to death, she doesn't want to die yet!
"Impossible! You must have seen Yi Cui! Yi Cui must have been killed by you!" Ling Wanrou immediately denied.
"County master, the slave didn't lie, the slave really hasn't seen Yi Cui. Ganlu said while kowtowing to Ling Haoyue and crying.
Ling Haoyue originally thought that Ling Wanrou and Manna could tear it up, but she didn't expect that Manna was a little bit successful, and she was involved again.
Ling Haoyue, who wanted to watch the play on the sidelines, said lightly: "Ganlu, it is impossible for this county lord to keep an eye on you all the time, I don't know if you saw Yicui last night. ”
It was no better than Ling Wanrou, who seemed to know the whereabouts of her maid well. Wen Mohan laughed secretly in his heart, this girl is obviously only thirteen years old, and she is not a vegetarian when she is a vegetarian, she is sarcastic about Ling Wanrou openly and secretly, and then look at Ling Wanrou's bewildered appearance, isn't this eldest lady of the Ling family rumored to be smart and beautiful? Sure enough, there are no rumors!
Ganlu's face turned pale, and the county lord really refused to speak for her.
"But the county lord doesn't know, it doesn't mean that others don't know, you said that you have been sleeping in the room and haven't seen Yi Cui, but someone has proved it?"
Ganlu just wanted to be happy on his face, but when he heard the words behind him, he was instantly deflated, last night Lily of the Valley was keeping vigil and didn't go back to the house at all.
Ling Wanrou found another reason to speak: "Yes, Ganlu, who can prove that you haven't seen Yi Cui!"
Ganlu knew too many things and couldn't stay, so she just took advantage of Yi Cui's matter to solve her, which was still Ling Wanrou's plan. It has never been difficult to put someone by Ling Haoyue's side, and one less nectar will not affect it.
Ganlu was a somewhat smart person, otherwise she would not have been sent to Ling Haoyue's side to deliver the news, hearing Ling Wanrou's words, her heart was shocked, and the alarm bell rang, Ling Wanrou really wanted her to die!
Ganlu kowtowed to Ling Haoyue and said, "County Lord, the slave maid slept alone in the house last night, and there was indeed no one to testify for the slave maid, but dare to ask the eldest lady if she saw the slave maid and Yi Cui with her own eyes?"
The ants are still greedy for life, and Ganlu doesn't want to die, so she naturally wants to speak for herself, but Ling Wanrou doesn't take the lives of her subordinates in her eyes.
"Presumptuous, you dare to question Miss Ben!" Ling Wanrou said angrily. A little maid dared to bite her!
Finally dog eats dog, haha, Ling Haoyue laughed secretly in her heart.
"The big sister can't prove it. Ling Haoyue said in embarrassment, "Young Master Wen, can I borrow someone from you?"
Wen Mohan has never been involved in this kind of trick of a backhouse woman, and has always stood next to him without speaking, being an invisible person.
"What does the county lord need help with?" Since it was Ling Haoyue who spoke, he would also give some face.
"The eldest sister and this girl have a dispute, and the county lord doesn't know whether to deal with it or not, so he has to ask Jingzhao Mansion Yin to judge the case, for the sake of fairness, I asked Wen Gongzi to write a piece of paper, and send it to Jingzhao Mansion together with the nectar. ”
"No, this is a family matter of the Ling Guo Mansion, how can it be sent to the Jingzhao Mansion!" Ling Wanrou immediately objected.
If it is sent to Jingzhao Mansion, the nectar will not be under her nose, and if the nectar spits out something else at that time, it will be troublesome.
"Big sister, how can this be a family matter? Since you said that Ganlu killed someone, and murder is a big case, Jingzhao Mansion Yin, as the parent official of the capital, naturally has the right to judge the case. Could it be that this kind of backhouse matter still needs to be handled by the eldest uncle?"
"Second sister, you also said that it was a matter of the back house, naturally my mother would deal with it, and of course the manna would be sent back to the Lingguo Mansion. ”
I want the Duchess of Lingguo Zhao to clean up the mess for you, no way!
Ling Haoyue replied: "What happens in the Guogong Mansion on weekdays is handled by the eldest aunt, whether it is given to death or sold, there is always the eldest aunt to judge, but this is Baiyun Temple, Baiyun Temple is the place where Jingzhao Mansion is guarded, and the murder here is not the eldest aunt's decision." ”
The implication is that this kind of killing of slaves and maids is not uncommon, and the virtuous and virtuous Zhao is an executioner behind closed doors!
It's time for this game to end today, and Ling Haoyue didn't give Ling Wanrou a chance to speak, and ordered: "Red sleeves, your young lady is frightened, why don't you help her go back quickly, Lily of the Valley, you go and help her." ”
He turned to Wen Mohan and said, "Young Master Wen, please help deal with it according to what Haoyue said, thank you." ”
Wen Mohan said with a smile: "With a gesture, the county lord doesn't have to be polite. ”
Hurriedly ordered the servant to bundle the nectar, wrote a document, and sent it to Jingzhao Mansion.
Ling Wanrou wanted to stop it, but she couldn't find a reason, so she could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly.
