Chapter 57: Incident (3)
The air in the room became as if it were solid and could not flow, and everyone was depressed and did not dare to breathe loudly. In this silence, everyone has his own mind. Liu was relieved, after all, this matter had nothing to do with her, and Wang was also very calm, she was very confident in her plan. Zhang Hou was very nervous, on the one hand, Aunt Liang didn't know if she could keep the child, and on the other hand, he was also afraid of the truth. Aunt Bai and Aunt Qin stood there silently, they knew very well that on this occasion, it was best to be invisible.
The old lady, leaning back in the chair, gently closed her eyes to recuperate, Saitama was behind the old lady, helping her pinch her shoulders, her face calm, as if all this had nothing to do with her. Finally, with the arrival of Shao's mother, this suffocating silence was broken.
"Back to the old lady, the doctor has checked it, there is nothing wrong with the wontons, and the fetal pill is in this fetal pill. Before the old lady could answer, Hongxuan also came in, saying that she had searched carefully in Xi'er's bed and box and found nothing. The old lady's face sank and asked Xi'er:
"But I heard, there was a problem with the medicine, and it fell on you. Who gave you the medicine and instructed you to harm others?"
"Old lady, the slave and maid really didn't harm anyone, and I hope the old lady will see it. ”
"Well, let me ask you who you saw when you decocted the medicine today, and I will tell you carefully. Xi'er says:
"Every time I decocted the medicine, I was the only one, and after the medicine was decocted, Peach Blossom or Sister Que'er came to take it. ”
"I really didn't see anyone else when I was decocting the medicine today. Xi'er hesitated for a moment, not wanting to say Shuang'er, after all, it was not right to follow the master out and run around by herself. Shuang'er lent money to herself, but it was not good to sell her.
"Yes, I only saw Mother Yan enter the small kitchen when I was decocting medicine at night. ”
"Hongxuan, go down and search for Xiao Tao and what magpies, and see if there are any. Hongxuan agreed.
"Mother, the matter is already clear, you can go back and rest, and the son will just watch here. If you have three longs and two shorts, how can your son be at ease. ”
"Needless to say, things didn't come to light, I couldn't sleep when I went back, and I didn't get to that point. ”
Wang looked at the old lady's stubborn appearance, and couldn't help but wonder, the old lady's behavior today seemed to be aimed at herself, and she would not stop until she reached her goal, could it be that something was missing, thinking about this, she couldn't help but sit still.
At this time, Hongxuan walked in and reported to the old lady that she found nothing in the house of Peach Blossom and Magpie. The old lady couldn't help but be a little irritable, and Zhang Hou saw it and said:
"In short, the problem lies with these three girls, who sent the official together. The magpie, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly kowtowed and said:
"Old lady, old man, Mrs. Mingjian, Xi'er lied, Aunt Qin's little maid Shuang'er went to look for her at night, and it wasn't like she said that no one had ever entered the small kitchen. ”
"Is that so?" said the old woman's voice.
"Slave, slave, slave, ......" Xi'er was speechless, on the one hand, she didn't want to betray her friend, and on the other hand, she was afraid of planting the charge of drugging herself. The peach blossom who was kneeling on one side also said:
"Yes, the slave and maid remembered, Shuang'er also asked the slave and maid where Xi'er was, and it was the slave and maid who told her that Shuang'er was boiling medicine, and then she was busy serving tea to his wife or something, so he didn't care about her. As soon as her words fell, Zhang Hou looked at Wang,
"You're here tonight too?"
"Yes, I gave two scarlet silk horses to Aunt Liang and asked her to make some close-fitting clothes for the child. Aunt Bai and Aunt Qin also came together. The old lady didn't care so much at this moment, and said:
"Pass on the twins. Xi'er, it's up to you to talk about this. The old lady stared at Xi'er, and Xi'er knew that she couldn't hide it, so she told her about the process of Shuang'er coming to her at night.
"Think about what else is suspicious, she has ever been out of your sight. Xi'er shook her head and said:
"The slave has been talking to her, but ......"
"Just what?" Zhang Hou asked impatiently.
But the slave remembered that when she took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, the slave and maid's eyes could not see her. ”
The old lady gave Shao's mother a look, and Shao's mother went down immediately. Wang was very happy to see everything advancing in the direction of his plan, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After a while, Shuang'er was pushed in by the two mothers-in-law, and when she saw this battle, she quickly knelt down. The old lady asked:
"Have you been to Xi'er's kitchenette tonight?"
"Back to the old lady, the slave maid has been there. Shuang'er replied very cheerfully.
"What did you do?"
"The slave maid and Sister Xi'er have always been friends, and finally had a chance to go and see her. ”
"You went out with your master, but left your post without permission, this crime is the first, and the drug and assassination of the master, the second crime, what else do you have to quibble?"
"Old lady, the slave didn't do anything, the slave was wronged. Sister Xi'er, you also saw it, haven't we been together all the time, how could I be drugged. ”
"Shut up, and be stubborn when you die. The old lady reprimanded. After a while, Shao's mother walked in with a small white paper bag, and when Shuang'er saw the paper bag, her face changed, and her changes were all seen by the old lady.
"Do you know that?" The old lady asked sharply.
"The slave doesn't know. Shuang'er said weakly.
"This is what Mother Shao found in the mezzanine of your pillow, and you are still quibbling? It seems that if you don't beat you, you won't tell the truth. Drag it down and hit me hard. Shuang'er was anxious when he heard it,
"Old lady, the slave and the maid are honest, it is the medicine of the slave and the maid. Before she could finish speaking, she was kicked in the chest by Zhang Hou and fell to the ground.
"Cheap hooves!" the old lady glared at Zhang Hou,
"It's so unbearable, and the official has been in vain all these years. Zhang Hou's face turned red and he returned to his seat.
"You really have the courage to give your aunt a fetal pill?" said the old lady coldly.
"It's not a fetal pill, my aunt said it was diarrhea. As soon as Shuang'er said this, everyone was surprised.
"Auntie, which aunt?" Shuang'er said and covered her mouth tightly with her hands, kneeling in horror.
"Say it quickly. Otherwise, I'll go out and kill it now," Zhang Hou said sharply.
"Yes, it's Aunt Qin. Although Shuang'er's voice became smaller and smaller, everyone still heard the words Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin was already stunned at this time, and hurriedly ran to Zhang Hou and knelt down.
"Master, master, the concubine has never done anything, you have to believe the concubine. Zhang Hou pushed her away in disgust, and then she knelt in front of Wang,
"Madam, you have to believe in the concubine, you can't listen to the words of the little hoof. ”
"It's all in front of her, how can she, a little girl who has never been married, know that kind of thing. You still confess your guilt, and beg the old lady and the old man to punish you lightly. When Wang said this, he pointed the finger at Aunt Qin, so that she couldn't tell clearly. Zhang Hou was really impatient and said:
"Drag it all out until dawn. Let's send the old lady back to the room first. ”
Saitama looked at the joy in Wang's eyes that couldn't be hidden, and bit her lip, but she didn't expect to be escaped by her again this time, and there would be no next time. At this time, someone came to report that Aunt Liang's pulse had stabilized, and the fetus was fine, no big problem, everyone was relieved to hear the news, and Zhang Hou hurried to see Aunt Liang. Only Saitama stared at Wang, her smugness vanishing without a trace, replaced by a look of disbelief.
