Chapter 397: How could it not be

"Where's the Huali people?" asked Mrs. Qiu.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for a long time, and the house is lively today, and the slave doesn't care much about it. The big girl Ruan Ying replied.

"Look for her now, we'll have to find her. After Mrs. Qiu gave the order, the people below did not dare to delay, and immediately dispersed to find Hua Li.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Old Madam Qiu walked to Old Madam Shen and sat down, handed over a cup of tea and persuaded: "Old sister, don't be angry, I look at your granddaughter very well-behaved." It's me, there are a lot of maids in this house, and I can't manage them on weekdays, so this is what happened. But don't worry, if it's really this Hua Li, I will definitely pull her out and give you an explanation. ”

"Speaking seriously, I have been friends with you for many years, can I blame you? I just hope that these juniors will not cause trouble, and I really don't want to go to your situation today. ”

The two old ladies are saying that no matter what the truth of the matter is, the two sides will not embarrass each other.

"Auntie, is it possible that I am also diagnosed as pregnant because I am always sick?" Lu Tanghua asked Yan Xiange curiously on the side.

"You, it's not because you drank alcohol secretly, have you never been taboo?" Yan Huange asked rhetorically, she was a doctor after all, even if it was Lu Tanghua, she was also weak.

After a while, Lu Tanghua asked again: "I remember you said earlier that the eldest sister's illness is not only bad, but she is still at home, and it is also because she is not taboo, is it possible that she can't eat anything?"

"What longan, sugar, dried fruit...... There are also sea fish, which are all not good, she seems to have eaten a lot, and she is very greedy. ”

Yan Huange's words came into her ears far away, and a thought suddenly flashed in the old lady's mind, and before she had time to think about it, Ruan Ying came over and said to the old lady Qiu: "Old lady, Hua Li is here." ”

"Is it the lotus seed soup you sent to Miss Shen?" The smile on Old Madam Qiu's face was gone, and she stared at Hua Li for a long time, making this girl tremble with fright.

"That soup is poisonous, how do you explain it?" She doesn't care about this Hua Li just went there now, the most important thing at the moment is to find out if this girl poisoned the soup, if it wasn't for her, this matter has nothing to do with the Qiu family.

After hearing this, Hua Li's legs weakened, she knelt hard in front of Old Madam Qiu, kowtowed and said, "Old Madam, I really don't know what's going on. Besides, I haven't even seen the face of the eldest lady of the Shen family before, I ...... I won't hurt her......"

"That's right, but what if you take money to do things?" Old Madam Qiu didn't beat around the bush, the matter is getting to this point, no matter what, she has to find out, if it is really someone from the Qiu family who does it, she will not tolerate it, just clean up the door.

"No, no, there is no ......" Hua Li's mind was blank, she had always been timid and cautious, she never thought that she would be involved in this kind of thing, and she was already crying at this time.

"But the lotus seed soup you sent over is really poisonous!" Old Madam Qiu threw the bowl in her hand out, in addition to being angry, she also wanted to scare Hua Li. The girl didn't dare to move, just knelt on the ground and sobbed quietly.

Seeing this, Ruan Ying said in a low voice: "Old lady, Hua Li has been in the mansion for a few years, she is timid, even if she is bullied on weekdays, she will definitely not conflict with others, the slave and maid look at her, she is not like a person who dares to do such a thing." ”

This Hua Li did lower her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, and Mrs. Qiu asked patiently: "Think about it carefully, have you ever left that bowl of lotus seed soup?" ”

Hua Li was already panicked when she was brought over, and she just cared about denying it, where could she afford to think of this. When the old lady asked, she was stunned.

"Don't worry, remember well, if it weren't for you, the old lady wouldn't have wronged anyone. Ruan Ying nodded: "This is your last chance, don't think about it before you speak." ”

There must be a result in this matter, if Huali can't say why, even if it's really not her, I'm afraid she will have to bear the black pot.

Hua Li reached out and wiped the tears on her face, biting her lip to prevent herself from crying, she pressed her heart to force herself to calm down.

After a while, she suddenly crawled to Old Madam Qiu's side, and said in her mouth, "Old Madam, I remember." That bowl of soup, those two bowls of lotus seed soup, was given to me by someone else. ”

"Others?" Old Madam Qiu frowned, obviously not believing her words: "Someone else has you, you didn't ask anything and gave it to the girl of the Shen family?"

"That's not the case, old lady, Sister Ruan Ying and I got orders, so we went to serve soup to the people of the Shen Mansion. I was ready first, and I stood outside the kitchen waiting for her, but at this time a maid appeared. ”

Hua Li carefully recalled Fang Cai's situation, and said: "She chatted with me for a few words, told me that she was from the Shen family, and asked me to be careful, saying that the eldest lady of the Shen family didn't like the soup in my hand at all." She also said...... He also said that the eldest lady is a violent person, and if I send it like this, I will definitely be reprimanded......"

Naturally, I was frightened and quickly asked her what to do. She easily exchanged the two bowls of longan red date lotus seed soup in her hand to me, saying that this is what suits the taste of the eldest lady. I thought that there was lotus seed soup in the kitchen, so I thought that this soup was just served by her, so I didn't think much about it......"

"You mean, the poisonous lotus seed soup was given to you by the Shen family's maid?" Old Madam Qiu said and threw the matter to the Shen family.

"Su Zhi, call all the maids who came over today to me, and let these girls recognize them one by one. Old Madam Shen was furious, she gave an order, and Su Zhi sent someone to call all the maids over.

There weren't many maids brought out today, and soon there was a seven, seven, eighty, eight. Sang Yingqiu anxiously looked for lotus in the crowd, and when she saw that figure, she was about to go over and say a few words, but she had already been pulled away by the maid in front of her. Her heart immediately clenched, and her hands couldn't help clenching the handkerchief.

"You don't have to be afraid, take a closer look at which maid gave you the lotus seed soup. Old Madam Shen saw that Hua Li was really scared, so she slowed down her tone and encouraged: "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, and I will never embarrass you." ”

Hua Li just got up from the ground, but she was so frightened that she could barely stand on her feet, but Ruan Ying kindly stepped forward to help her.

Many maids in the Shen family lowered their heads, not because they were weak-hearted, but they were really afraid, after all, if this matter fell on their heads, it would not be so simple as being sold. They are also afraid that they will be unlucky, and they will suffer unjustified disasters.

Hua Li looked carefully at the faces of those maids one by one, and kept shaking her head.

When she walked in front of Mihe, Sang Yingqiu's hands were clasped together, and Mihe, who was not far away, seemed to be nervous, and Sang Yingqiu could even see her hands shaking slightly.

"No, old lady, there is no such person here. After reading all the maids of the Shen family, Hua Li couldn't break down anymore, she knelt on the ground and cried: "How could it not be? She clearly said that she was the maid of the Shen family." ”
