Chapter 540: Sophistry
Huang Heng was beating a drum in his heart, and he didn't know how to face these former classmates for a while, so he could only hang his head and be silent.
"I've seen the girl!" said the crowd, and then stood quietly aside.
Han Qiu looked at the trembling sister-in-law Huang, couldn't bear it, pursed her lips, and was just about to speak, when she looked at Shang Lanxin's faint eyes, she only felt a chill in her heart, and a chill ran down her spine. When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.
"Since Sister-in-law Huang feels that she has been wronged, then you can tell me about the conversation with Steward Xiao Zhou last night and the things that followed. Lan Xin said lightly, with some impatience and irritability in his tone.
Sister-in-law Huang's drooping hair blocked the triumphant smile at the corner of her mouth, and the corner of her eyes swept to Aunt Su's skirt, and a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes. In line with the principle that friends of the dead Dao do not die and the poor Dao, Sister-in-law Huang said in a hoarse voice: "Last night, I was ······· because of it."
She raised her eyes and glanced at Lan Xin in embarrassment, and saw Lan Xin sitting there with a sinking face, looking so unkind. He pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said, "I was in a bad mood because I missed my deceased husband, so I went out for a walk. Didn't get back to your accommodation until very late.
At the intersection, I happened to meet Xiao Zhou's manager, so I greeted him and returned to my residence. I don't know where I provoked the girl, let the girl be like this······ This kind of teacher asks for sin. Her voice grew lower and lower, and by the end it was almost inaudible. He looked up timidly at Lan Xin, and immediately lowered his head.
A sneering smile rose at the corner of Lan Xin's mouth, and he said with some eagerness and annoyance: "Why avoid the important and take it lightly? That's not what you and Steward Xiao Zhou said. It's better to make the conversation between Xiao Zhou's stewards clear. ”
"Yes!" Sister-in-law Huang bit her lip and said, "I don't want to tell Xiao Zhou about my heart directly, so I had to say that I came to see Brother Heng, and I went back so late." Seeing that Xiao Zhou's steward didn't bring a lantern, I asked more. Xiao Zhou's steward said that today is the eighth day of the new year, and the special recipe for the eighth day of the new year should be prepared according to the usual practice.
However, there was one ingredient that was not enough, so it was prepared according to the recipe of the ninth day of the first month. After saying goodbye to Steward Xiao Zhou, I saw Aunt Su coming over from the back kitchen. I said hello to her and pushed the door in. ”
In other words, after she left, she didn't know if Aunt Su had returned to the yard or had gone elsewhere.
This trick is really wonderful!
Lan Xin asked lightly, "Then what did you and Aunt Su say?"
"No, we didn't say anything. Just nodded and said hello and went back. Sister-in-law Huang said in a calm voice. Her head was lowered so that the expression on her face could not be seen clearly.
When Huang Heng first started, why didn't he understand why Mr. Pei asked such a question. But when he heard that Han Qiu had been with Han Dong all along, he was sure that he had never gone out. However, even if they don't say it themselves, Meng Zhuo and they will say it.
However, after saying that, I regretted it. Seeing his mother in trouble, he was anxious. But now seeing that my mother has gradually reversed the situation, there is joy on my face.
Lan Xin looked at Aunt Su who was sitting on the side, trembling with cold eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Aunt Su has been coming to my restaurant for a while, right?"
"Yes, girl. I ······ I ······· It's almost three ······ It's been three months. Aunt Su's legs went weak, so she knelt down.
"You know about the leakage of recipes in the big restaurant recently, right?"
"Yes, yes. I know this. Aunt Su said in a trembling voice. If you still don't understand what the girl called the two of them over, then it would really be a mallet.
"That's ·······" Lan Xin was about to speak, but was interrupted by Huang Heng, who was standing not far away, and he said righteously, "Girl, I think your way of doing things is inappropriate. For no reason, it was said that Aunt Su had leaked the recipe, which was unfair to Aunt Su. ”
"Yes, girl, Huang Heng is right. Han Qiu echoed. Except for Meng Zhuo and Guo Xuan, who were standing there quietly, everyone else nodded in agreement.
Someone followed, Huang Heng's face became even more proud, he bowed down and said, "Girl, I think it's ······"
"What do you think?" Lan Xin interrupted him in a cold voice, his eyes swept around everyone with a cold look, "What do you think?" When others are talking, rashly interjecting, where do you think you have learned your rules, and where have you read all your sage books?!"
Before the matter is cleared, you commented in vain, where do you think your judgment is? I'm just asking Aunt Su, did I say that she leaked the recipe?!"
Sister-in-law Huang was anxious, and secretly blamed her son for being anxious. However, due to the presence of everyone, it is difficult to say it explicitly.
Lan Xin's merciless words made everyone's faces turn red. Even Meng Zhuo and Guo Xuan felt that their faces were hot.
"Aunt Su, did you see Xiao Zhou in charge last night?" Lan Xin ignored the people with different expressions and asked in a deep voice.
"See, see, see. Aunt Su swallowed her saliva and said in a trembling voice.
"What did you say?"
Xiao Zhou said. He, he, he said, was supposed to prepare the recipe for the eighth day of the first month, but Manager Zhou suddenly had a whim to prepare the recipe for the tenth day of the first month. So······ So I'll have to go again later. Aunt Su stumbled and finished speaking, lowering her head vigorously, not daring to come out.
Lan Xin asked in a deep voice: "When we came over today, we deliberately went to the restaurant opposite to take a look, what day's recipe did they use there?"
"Yes, yes, it's the ninth of the first month, the ninth of the first month. Aunt Su said in a trembling voice.
"Sister-in-law Huang, what else do you have to say?" Lan Xin asked in a gentle tone.
Although it was a cold day outside, Sister-in-law Huang was sweating profusely. His hands clutched the hem of his shirt tightly, and his mind spun rapidly. But my mind was blank, and I couldn't think of anything.
Huang Heng's face was pale, and he almost couldn't stand.
"Sister-in-law Huang, what's wrong, but what's uncomfortable?" Lan Xin asked in a gentle voice and a concerned tone, but her eyes were cold, "Sister-in-law Huang claims to be a family heirloom, but she does such an ungrateful thing!"
Sister-in-law Huang raised her head suddenly, with two lines of tears on her face, and said righteously: "If you want to add to the crime, why do you have no excuse? The girl now has a lot of money, why can't she get along with our orphans and widows? If you think that our mother and son are in the way, you can just open your mouth and drive us away, why do you frame us like this?!"
