"The poison mentioned by the eldest lady really has nothing to do with the slave maid, and the slave maid has never even seen that thing before. Qiao's mother replied simply, not admitting that the poison in the porcelain bottle was her own.

Shen Yunyou's hand holding the teacup tightened a little, she thought that Qiao's mother would find some reason to prove that the poison in her room was not used to harm people, but this person bit it to death and refused to admit it, so that she couldn't find a flaw.

At the moment, although this Qiao's mother looks cautious and afraid of offending people, she is very calm.

But she was a subordinate, and she was involved in human life, and she was called by her master for questioning, but she didn't panic at all, and even thought of a way to excuse herself, which was suspicious.

"Mama Joe, I believe in you. But no matter what, I should also give an explanation to the people in the house. Before the matter is clarified, I can only wronged you. ”

Shen Yunyou softened his tone: "You live in this room, and when the truth is revealed, I will definitely let you out." ”

"The slave listens to the eldest lady. Qiao's mother's eyes moved, and there was a hint of pleading when she spoke: "It's just that I haven't been home for a long time, and the two daughters in the family will probably be worried, and I just hope that the eldest lady can hide it from them for me." ”

"Your two daughters ......" Shen Yunyou rubbed the teacup, she nodded in agreement, asked Qiao's mother not to worry, and then walked out of the room.

Lingyi accompanied her around the yard, the yard was small, and there were few maids, Shen Yunyou walked in a circle and did not speak.

"Miss, you've made me dizzy. After a while, Lingyi spoke, and Shen Yunyou pulled her to sit down at the stone table and asked, "Don't you think Mother Qiao is too calm?"

"It's wrong, Wu Ning was poisoned and died, and poison was found in her room, it stands to reason that Qiao's mother should be panicking at this time, but she doesn't seem to be in a hurry. ”

Shen Fu has also seen a few times when he has encountered something to clean up the portal, and every maid is afraid of being involved with bad things. There are cowardly, before the master can speak, he is already scared and crying, it is really rare to be as calm as Qiao's mother.

"But after all, Mother Qiao has been in this mansion for many years, and she has seen too many things, so she is not easy to be frightened. Lingyi thought for a moment and said.

"That's right. Shen Yunyou nodded, a little perfunctory.

A small plate of candy was placed on the table, she picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth with her eyes blankly, and said suddenly: "By the way, it is said that Old Madam Lin values Mother Qiao very much, and Mother Qiao knows that even if it is for the sake of Old Madam Lin's face, the old lady will not treat her well." ”

Shen Yunyou was startled by her, and the sugar shook to the ground.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Lingyi put a candy in her hand, Shen Yunyou was not a startled person, and he didn't know what to think about like that.

"Lingyi," Shen Yunyou put the sugar aside, she took Lingyi's hand uneasily, and said in a low voice: "I just saw that Mother Qiao had a jade bracelet on her hand, which Old Madam Lin wore on her body before her death, and I never saw her take it off." ”

"What?" Lingyi's hand moved, almost knocking over the sugar dish, she seemed to be considering, and only after a while did she hesitate to say: "Even if Old Madam Lin values Mother Qiao, she can give her the bracelet she carries, this is too ...... It's too precious. ”

Yes, it's too precious. The Lin family treats Qiao's mother well, and there are a lot of things that can be rewarded, so why do you have to give away the jade bracelet you cherish?

"Miss, do you think it will ......" Lingyi glanced at Shen Yunyou, if it wasn't for the Lin family's reward, how did Qiao's mother get this bracelet?

"There are only three people in Mrs. Lin's room, but as soon as she had an accident, Wu Ning was killed...... although it was not explained, Lingyi had already suspected Qiao's mother.

Shen Yunyou picked up Fang Cai's candy and knocked it on the stone table, her eyes looked not far away, and after a while, she spoke: "Could it be that Wu Ning knew some secret before he was killed?"

She had been thinking about what kind of grudge Mother Qiao had with Wu Ning, but now it seems that she doesn't have to have a grudge. If Unin knew so much that she threatened someone, she would surely die.

"Miss also thinks that Old Madam Lin's death ......" As soon as Lingyi spoke, Shen Yunyou put his index finger on his lips, and Lingyi was immediately silenced.

"But there is one thing I still can't understand, after Mrs. Lin's accident, my grandmother clearly saw her for the last time. If her death had not been an accident, she would have had every opportunity to explain to her grandmother why she had done nothing after she died, or had she known the story but was unwilling to tell it?"

If the Lin family died at the hands of others, and the grandmother was grieving, she should uphold justice for her, how could there be no movement? Although Shen Yunyou was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask the old lady about this matter.

"Could it be that Old Madam Lin didn't mention it to Old Madam Lin because she thought of the love between master and servant, and didn't want to let Mother Qiao lose her life?" Lingyi guessed, if Lin's death was really related to Mother Qiao, it seemed that only this way could it be explained.

In this way, it is very likely that Uning bumped into this incident and caused the disaster. Shen Yunyou frowned, now all the clues point to Qiao's mother, but there is no evidence.

"Okay, okay, let's put it down for a while, I have a headache when I think about it. ”

Shen Yunyou rubbed his eyebrows, and then reached out to rub it for Lingyi, and then got up: "Go back to the room and rest!"

As soon as she looked up, she saw Lian Miao sneakily looking into the room.

"Isn't Fang Cai still sweeping the floor, what do you want to do here?" Shen Yunyou walked over lightly and patted Lian Miao's shoulder.

Lian Miao was so shocked that she stepped back, her head accidentally hit the pillar, and she made a loud noise, and she said to Shen Yunyou with tears in her eyes: "Miss, is Mother Qiao inside, ......right? I would like to have a few words with her. ”

She was apprehensive, and after secretly glancing at Shen Yunyou a few times, she couldn't help but ask again: "Just say one or two words...... Qiao's mother will be locked up, in the end, it will be me who is the victim, and I really feel uncomfortable. ”

"Go ahead!"

Seeing that Shen Yunyou agreed, Lian Miao hurriedly pushed open the door, and Qiao's mother, who was sitting at the table, also raised her head, and the two met their eyes.

"Mom, I know you won't believe me, but I really just couldn't help but mutter, I felt that the poison was a little terrible, how did I expect Ni Zhi to make trouble in front of the old lady. She's good for me, I know, but ...... But I'm still sorry for you, it's good if you hate me, just don't blame her. ”

Lian Miao felt guilty, she looked away, not daring to look at Mother Qiao again.

"We've lived in the same room for so long, and I know you won't do anything bad, but you're still ...... I still don't dare to speak for you in front of the old lady. ”

Speaking of this, Lian Miao had already begun to sob, she wiped a handful of tears vigorously, her eyes hurt, but she didn't care, just looked at Qiao's mother: "It's me who is so useless." ”
