Chapter 496: Guilt
496, [Guilt]
No, she can't sit still anymore, even if Yu'er and Cui'er bite their mouths and refuse to admit it, the government and Ruyi have no evidence to identify her as the main messenger behind the scenes, but it has greatly pushed her to the forefront. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jin Yue had already sent someone to ask her about the Shen Mansion just now, and although she prevaricated on the grounds that she didn't know, she seemed to be a little unhappy with her when she looked at Jin Yue's expression.
At the moment, the most important thing for her to do, and the thing that can reduce others' suspicion of her, is to go back to the restaurant quickly, but before going back to the restaurant, she has to go to see Yuelong first.
Shen Mingxuan sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to bring a letter to Yuelong, made an appointment to meet at Mingfeng Pavilion, and took a detour to Mingfeng Pavilion on the way back to Shen's Mansion.
Yuelong waited in the box for a long time, when she saw Shen Mingxuan coming, her eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes fell on Shen Mingxuan's bulging belly, and she smiled lightly: "I haven't seen you for many days, my sister's belly seems to be a few laps bigger, is she about to give birth?" ”
Shen Mingxuan was thinking about the things in the restaurant, how could he have the heart to talk about having a child, and asked urgently: "Have you heard about the Ruyi Restaurant?" ”
Since receiving the news from Shen Mingxuan that Ruyi always sneaks out of the restaurant, and she doesn't know what she is doing, she specially told Ayaluo, so that people can keep an eye on it all the time, as long as Ruyi has any movement, it can reach her ears.
There was poisoning in the restaurant, Ruyi said that it was a show specially performed for customers in order to hide people's eyes, but it was actually the poison of the maid Cui'er next to Shen Mingxuan, and on the same day, Shen Mingxuan's other personal maid Yu'er was also implicated in a murder case.
Now that Shen Mingxuan's right-hand arm has been cut off, she undoubtedly came to discuss this matter with her this time.
There was a calm and calm smile on the corner of Yuelong's mouth, and instead of answering, she asked: "Sister Shen has always been resourceful, but have you thought of any countermeasures?" ”
Shen Mingxuan was displeased: "How can I have a countermeasure to come to you to discuss, now I am riding a tiger and it is difficult to get down, even if Cui'er and Yu'er don't expose me, but others must have suspected me, I am now forced to the edge of the cliff by Ruyi, and I am dead left and right." ”
Yuelong soothed: "Sister, don't worry, don't you still have one last move?" As long as you can live, the temporary defeat is just to give the enemy the most powerful counterattack. As he spoke, his shrewd eyes fell on Shen Mingxuan's stomach.
Shen Mingxuan understood, raised his hand and touched his stomach, after thinking about it, now only this child can hold her life, if this child is used properly, maybe she still has a chance to turn around.
……
It was a great crime for Cui'er to poison the meals of the guests in the restaurant, but because she was afraid of the reputation of the restaurant, the Shen Mansion suppressed the matter.
In the main hall, Shen Xinnan sat on the chair, staring at Cui'er kneeling in front of her with sharp eyes, next to Jin Tianen frowned, her eyes drooped thoughtfully, Ruyi crossed her legs opposite, and a mocking sneer hung on the corner of her mouth, leisurely ready to enjoy this good show.
Before Shen Xinnan decided to interrogate Cui'er in person, after Ruyi came back from the Fan Punishment Division, she asked He Tian to help find out whether Cui'er also had spiritual power in her body, and the answer could be known by Cui'er's firm eyes at the moment.
However, what Ruyi couldn't understand was how Shen Mingxuan, a mortal, injected spiritual power into Cui'er and Yu'er's bodies, and who was behind her to help support her?
Shen Xinnan had actually heard that Cui'er personally admitted that the arsenic was ordered by her, just because she was unwilling to do it for her master, and deliberately framed Ruyi, but after Ruyi's intentional or unintentional beating, she felt that this matter was not so simple, whether it was Shen Mingxuan instigated behind her back or not, she wanted an answer.
"Cui'er, you have been in the Shen Mansion for seven or eight years, since you came, has my Shen Mansion treated you harshly?"
Cui'er knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and said respectfully: "The Shen Mansion is the second family of slaves and maids, and the mansion has never treated slaves and maids harshly. ”
Shen Xinnan nodded: "Since you regard this place as your home, why did you do something to hurt your family?" It can be seen that you are a good girl, you have been conscientious, diligent, and grateful in the Shen Mansion all these years, and now you tell me the truth, why? ”
Cui'er lowered her head, with beads in her eyes, she didn't dare to look at Shen Xinnan's eyes, she bit her lip with her teeth, and in the face of Shen Xinnan's sincere words, she felt uncomfortable for a while, and she didn't know how to answer.
Shen Xinnan said again: "You raised your head and looked at me talking." ”
Cui'er raised her head, her face was already covered with pear blossoms and rain, and when she saw Shen Xinnan's deep and sharp eyes, she seemed to be able to see the bottom of her heart, so she hurriedly closed her eyes and didn't look at Shen Xinnan.
After many years in the Shen Mansion, Cui'er knew what the lady was to her, she was grateful for the care of the Shen Mansion, but she couldn't betray the eldest lady, she swore to the eldest lady that she would be loyal to her.
"The slave maid is just angry at the unfair attitude of the lady towards the eldest lady and the second miss, obviously they are sisters, why did the lady give everything to the second miss, the slave maid has served by the eldest lady's side for so many years, and she grew up with the eldest lady, although the eldest lady doesn't care, but the slave and the maid care."
Cui'er's words were like exposing a crime, which made Shen Xinnan feel a piercing pain, and her lips trembled slightly.
Rong Po noticed Shen Xinnan's strange appearance and hurriedly served tea, Shen Xinnan took a sip and suppressed the surging qi and blood in her heart.
Ruyi glanced at Shen Xinnan's ugly expression, and then saw that Jin Tianen pointed out, without saying a word, his eyes fell on Cui'er again, and asked in a cold voice: "Since the matter has come to this, then let's talk about the Tao today, and explain everything that should be explained clearly, except for this poisoning incident, Cui'er, do you know how Xiaozhuang died?"
Xiao Zhuang?
When Cui'er heard this, her face turned as white as paper, and she looked at Ruyi in horror.
Shen Xinnan cast her eyes on Ruyi, frowned and asked, "Didn't Xiao Zhuang feel that he was seriously ill and thought that he couldn't cure it before committing suicide?" How does it have to do with Cui'er? ”
Jin Tianen chuckled in his heart, and the conversation between Shen Mingxuan and Cui'er in the room that night flashed in his mind, Xiao Zhuang's death was not so simple at all, but had a lot to do with Shen Mingxuan, and looking at Ruyi's current attitude, she should have found out the truth of the matter, but what he was worried about was Shen Mingxuan.
"Ruyi, what can be the problem with Xiaozhuang's death, he wrote a farewell letter, the letter clearly stated that he committed suicide, this matter has passed, don't bring up the old matter again, now it's up to Cui'er to deal with it?"
"Brother-in-law, there are too many things hidden in our Shen Mansion, not every one of them may you be able to see clearly, maybe a small thing, there are heinous crimes hidden behind it?" Ruyi sneered and shouted outside the door: "Ye Mingming brought Da Chun in." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ye Mingming and Da Chun came in together, Ye Mingming hugged his fists and saluted Shen Xinnan, and Da Chun knelt beside Cui'er.
