Chapter 166: Scandal (1)

Mrs. Tian took the order to go out, and she secretly hated it in her heart, blaming her for the life in the young lady's yard, otherwise she would not have borne such a big sin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

No matter how you say it, it's all her fault, the maid who died in the house didn't know it, and it was really a dereliction of responsibility that she was still a subordinate next to her wife.

Although Mrs. didn't complain about her, it was also for the sake of the past, and if she wanted to make a mistake on a business trip again, there would not be much left.

Thinking of this, she called two strong mothers-in-law and went to the East Cross Courtyard where the young lady lived.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Ran greeted him, "Mother Tian is here, please come to the house, Miss is in the house!" She saw that this mother-in-law was not good, and she brought a helper, so she knew that it must not be a good thing.

Mrs. Tian was not in a good mood, and said with an unhappy face: "The old slave came to meet the young lady, please let me know."

"Mom is polite, you wait a minute, I'll go" Xiao Ran quickly entered the house with his legs and feet.

At this time, Xiao Xueer was painting at the table, drawing a picture of a green bamboo plant in spring water.

"Miss, Mother Tian came over and said she wanted to see Miss"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"I didn't say this, but Tian's mother brought two powerful mothers-in-law with her."

Xiao Xue'er stopped writing and thought about it, it seems that nothing has been discovered in this yard during this time.

What she fears most now is that her mother notices her yard, which will become an obstacle to her tryst with Imperial Doctor Lu.

"There's nothing going on in our yard!"

"Ah, it's okay, except for ......" Xiao Ran suddenly thought of Xiao Cui's unruly appearance, which was very strange, and he wanted to say that he was afraid that Miss would blame him, so he stopped talking halfway through it, and hurriedly changed his words, "Except that the flowers in our yard are blooming very well."

Xiao Xue'er thought what was the matter, and when she heard the end, she laughed and scolded, "You dead girl, you still have idle clothes to fight with me, why don't you go and invite Mother Tian over"

Xiao Ran ran out with a smile, "Mom, please come into the house, Miss is waiting for you!"

"Okay" Mrs. Tian's face softened a little and stepped in.

Seeing the young lady Shi Li:

"Miss, how about you have a rest these days?"

"Fortunately, my mother has been doing well lately, why do you have the time to sit with me" She saw that her mother-in-law's face was not very good-looking, and said with a smile: "Who is this who provoked my mother?"

"Back to Miss's words, Mrs. somehow knew about the death of two maids in the Miss's courtyard, so let the old slave come over to see what was going on, to say that this matter is still the old slave's dereliction of duty, sorry for Mrs.'s trust, come this way, the old slave feels guilty in his heart, he doesn't know about this kind of big thing in the house, he is really ashamed of Mrs.'s trust"

Mrs. Tian said that she shed a few tears when she was excited.

Xiao Xue'er didn't take it seriously, and said there: "This matter is not a big deal, I didn't let the people below report it, I don't want my mother to worry about it, I don't know who said it too much, let my mother worry about it, I will tell my mother later, mother don't worry"

When Mrs. Tian heard the young lady in front of her say this, she was happy, and with this sentence, her charges could be cleared, and she said with a smile on her face:

"Thank you, old slave, Miss for your kindness"

"That's why mom came here this time?"

"It was the lady who told the old slave to come and find out the cause of the death of these two maids, our prime minister's mansion can't let people go so unclear. ”

"Oh, that's it, that mother can just go and investigate, you can tell me if you need anything," Xiao Xue'er is pretty good to her subordinates.

"Yes, old slave, thank you, Miss."

Mrs. Tian went out respectfully.

If it weren't for this young lady's instructions, she wouldn't have dared to investigate this matter with a hundred guts, let alone come to someone's yard, so it can be seen that this young lady is a good talker.

She was grateful, and did her best to call all the little maids in the yard, ask them one by one, and record what everyone said.

But these people all answered in the same way, and there was nothing special about it.

When it was the turn of the eldest girl Xiao Cui and Xiao Ran beside the young lady, Tian Pozi stared at the two for half an hour before starting to ask questions separately.

"Xiao Ran, you can be in the house that day"

Xiao Ran thought for a while and said, "Back to my mother, I was indeed in the house that day, but because I didn't sleep well when I came home the night before, I slept very deeply that night." Oh, by the way, I slept in the lady's room that night to keep vigil. ”

She remembered that she didn't know if Miss had asked her to bring water that night, and she hadn't woken up anyway.

Xiao Ran stuck out her tongue in shame, she really overslept that night.

Mrs. Tian nodded, this girl has a young lady to testify, so she doesn't need to ask again.

When it was Xiaocui's turn, before Mrs. Tian opened her mouth, she said to herself:

"Mother Tian, I also slept in the house that night, and I didn't go, besides, it's so dark, who wants to go out in the middle of the night and must not be scared to death"

Mother Tian felt that this girl was a little strange, but she was an old man in the house, and said with a smile: "Xiaocui is in the house at night, who can testify for you?"

"Mom laughed, everyone was sleeping at night, who can testify to me!"

"That's true, but in this courtyard, except for you and Xiao Ran, who have one room by themselves, the rest of the people are two or three people in one room, and it's not easy to say that you have no one to testify."

Mrs. Tian said a word about the matter.

Xiao Cui was anxious when she heard this, and said there:

"What did my mother say, don't you suspect that I can't do it, although I don't have anyone to testify, but I can't prove that I killed it!

Tian's mother said that, she didn't think about Xiaocui's murder at all, but when someone asked her about it, her old face was a little unbearable.

snorted lightly and said, "I'm just talking about things, and whoever has done it knows in his heart whether he has done it or not."

Xiaocui was anxious, "Mom, what do you mean, you make it clear"

Tian's mother really thinks that this girl is a little different from the past, like a little weak-hearted.

He smiled and said: "What is the girl anxious about, it's just that the maid died in the young lady's courtyard, and I was also ordered by my wife to come to investigate, and I didn't name the person who killed you, what do you mean this girl is in such a hurry?"

Xiaocui didn't say anything because of Tian's mother's words, and her heart trembled, oh no, why is she so uncontrollable, she has been a big girl for so many years.

Hurriedly pulled the words back and said with a smile: "Mom misunderstood, it was Xiaocui who was too eager, after all, someone died in the yard of Miss, and I am the big girl next to Miss, this is my dereliction of duty to spread out after all, it is not good to say, to put it bluntly, I am too eager to find out about this matter, begging my mother to blame"

Mrs. Tian will not offend people to death, after all, the person in front of her is used by the young lady, and it will be okay if you give each other face.

smiled: "It's okay, as long as Miss Xiaocui doesn't misinterpret my mother's meaning anymore."

"No, no, of course not"

Xiao Ran, who was standing at a point, smiled at the corner of his mouth, watching Xiao Cui and Tian's mother come and go, and didn't say anything.
