Chapter 374: Who is the murderer?
Seeing the mother-in-law coming back with the dog, everyone in the house had a look of surprise on their faces. However, these people are all smart people, and they have a good understanding of the princess. Therefore, after the consternation, everyone chose to remain silent.
The food that the Su family gave to the princess, the princess not only did not move at all, but also took it to feed the dogs.
Rongyuantang is almost a small closed kingdom in the palace. But after all these years, there are some things that can't be hidden. It's just that those who know choose to keep their mouths shut, because they know that it won't do them any good to speak out.
This is not the first time that the princess has done this. To be precise, the princess raised this dog, and she was specially fed with things sent by others.
The dog has lived safely for so many years, but the princess's suspicion has not diminished at all.
Su's face became more and more ugly, she opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything after all. The princess's attitude at the moment calmed down, and she didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all.
ββ¦β¦ Feed it all. The princess said calmly, and there was even some provocation in her demeanor and tone. That's what she did, and now everyone knows, but who can do anything about her! She has become what she is today, because of her relatives who are here!
That mother-in-law is worthy of being the confidant of the princess, and when she saw that the princess admitted it calmly, she still wanted to redeem one or two.
ββ¦β¦ It was accidentally knocked to the ground, and this beast grabbed it and ate it. The mother-in-law knelt on the ground with a thud and said in a trembling voice.
Although this woman is loyal, she has limited knowledge after all. She didn't know that what she was doing now was not only useless, but rather adding to the joke.
The princess's father's face turned pale.
"That's it, that's it." It means that this matter will end here, and if you say one more thing, the faces of the princess and the Su family can only be more ugly.
However, in addition to the people in the palace and the Su family, there were also Liu Ruoxi's mother's family. They didn't forget about it. How did the Su clan insinuate against Liu Ruoxi.
"If that's it, we haven't understood yet. β¦β¦ I think this is the Su family's rules? It won't be the rules of the palace, our aunt and grandmother are now the daughter-in-law of the palace, but there has never been such a thing. β
ββ¦β¦ It's time to make it clear, we also follow to learn more, and let our aunt and grandmother learn from Xi, maybe we can be happy with my mother-in-law! β
The second elder brother of Liu spoke one after another, and the faces of the Su family and the Su family were blue and red for a while.
Everyone in the Su family looked at each other a little, but the Liu family took the handle on the spot, and they couldn't find any countermeasures for a while.
"It's our goddaughter who has no way to ......" the people of the Liu family grabbed / stopped. The princess's father couldn't get over it, so he had to say curtly, "If she hadn't been sick for so many years, she wouldn't be like this." β
Saying this, the princess couldn't help but glance at the Su family.
"She wasn't like that. Over the years, the princess has taught her. β¦β¦ I don't even recognize her anymore. β
Su Shi's body was for a while, looking at the father of the princess in disbelief. The princess's father said this, clearly referring to the fact that the princess became what she is now after entering the palace. It's not because of the Su family's teachings.
The father of the princess of the world almost explicitly accused that it was the Su family that made the princess what she is today.
"Big brother......" Su Shi couldn't stop talking, she trembled her lips and screamed.
"Hey." The princess's father glanced at the Su family again. The expression is complex and difficult to discern.
This question ends with this sigh. Whether it is the father of the princess or the Su family, I still remember such an occasion after all. It is not appropriate to go into this topic in depth. Otherwise, it would not be a joke for the people of the Liu family.
Or maybe it's not a question that can be explained in a moment. A lot of things have come to this day. It's already hard to return, and it's hard to distinguish between right and wrong.
After all, he was an official in the same dynasty as the Su family, and he also had to consider the dignity of the palace and Rong Chenghan's feelings, and the Liu family did not chase after him on this issue.
In any case, the whereabouts of the food sent by the Su clan were clarified, and it was also certain that there was no problem with those meals.
The problem turned out to be inside Rongyuan Hall.
All the girls who came into contact with Rong Chengyi's food were found out and re-interrogated. This time, the questioning was not as gentle as just now. But things dragged on until near dawn, and there was still no progress.
All the girls and mothers-in-law insisted that they did not poison Rong Chengyi, and the matter had nothing to do with them.
"If you ask it, you will die, but I am afraid that it will affect your family and friends. If you can do such a thing, you are not a timid person, and you naturally refuse to admit it. Master Liu said.
"There will be a brave man under the heavy reward, and under the heavy punishment, if you don't believe her, you won't recruit." Master Liu San said,
"It's not good, I'm afraid I'll get a grievance." Second Master Liu is soft-hearted, so he is not very in favor of heavy punishment.
After this new inquiry, it is actually not without gains. There are three mothers-in-law who are the most suspicious, and these three mothers-in-law, without exception, are all married by the Su family and have served in Rongyuan Hall for many years.
If it weren't for the henchmen brought from the Su family, the princess would not let them come into contact with Rongyuantang's food.
ββ¦β¦ It's already this hour, so it's better for everyone to take a break. "Someone in the Su family mentioned yΓ¬.
"The matter is urgent, Tianming must find out the truth/appearance, otherwise there will be no explanation in front of the Long Live Lord." Rong Chenghan shook his head and said, "I think everyone's thoughts are the same as mine." A moment of delay, for the eldest brother, is a moment of grievance. β
Rong Chenghan's attitude was resolute, the people of the Su family said that he couldn't move him, and his words were extremely reasonable, the Su family looked at each other, but in the end they could only listen to Rong Chenghan.
Liu Ruoxi nodded secretly, and Rong Chenghan understood what he saw.
It is fake that the Su family wants to rest, and it is true that they want to find a gap to discuss privately with the Su family and the princess. However, Rong Chenghan couldn't give them this opportunity.
The current situation found out is greatly unfavorable to the princess and the Su family. Although the Su family accused Liu Ruoxi from the beginning, the current situation is that Liu Ruoxi's body is not sticky, and to put it mildly, it is all the business of the women of the Su family.
It's either the Su family, it's Su Qingnuan, or it's the princess.
In this case. Of course, they should not be given the opportunity to discuss collusion. In fact, from the beginning, Rong Chenghan has been guarding against this matter. Since the Su family entered the door, they had no chance to talk to the Su family, the princess and Su Qingnuan alone.
Not only that, but the people brought by the Su family couldn't move at all. Rong Chenghan had already sent someone to watch Rong Yuantang, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without his order.
However, the people of the Su family asked for rest, and Rong Chenghan was not unkind. He specially ordered someone to bring refreshments up, and at the same time sent a confidant to Chunhui Hall to see the situation of the old prince.
After everyone finished eating the refreshments, the little guy also came back to report.
The old prince was still asleep, and Rong Chengxiang had been staying in front of the old prince's bed.
The old prince's condition did not deteriorate. At the moment, this is good news. Rong Chenghan nodded, sent the little guy out, and continued to call someone to come up for interrogation.
The suspicion focused on the three mothers-in-law, and they were finally punished. Two of the mothers-in-law were crying out for injustice rather than death, but the other was loosened.
This mother-in-law's family name is He, he is in his early fifties, he is the son of the Su family, and he is the best at making some exquisite dim sum, since he followed the princess into the palace. I've been working in the small kitchen of Rongyuantang. The man of this mother-in-law is gone, and there was a son who died of illness at a young age. Now this mother-in-law has recognized a goddaughter, and she is also the little girl who serves in Rongyuantang.
The woman was loose. A pair of eyes glanced in the direction of Liu Ruoxi.
Everyone in the house did not notice the subtle actions of the mother-in-law, but Rong Chenghan was naturally not included.
Rong Chenghan's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Slaves, slaves are recruited, slaves are recruited...... mother-in-law bowed her head, as if she had finally made up her mind. Only then did he raise his head again, drenched in cold sweat.
When the mother-in-law said this, everyone in the house couldn't help but be shocked.
"You poisoned the son?" Rong Chenghan looked at his mother-in-law coldly. The mother-in-law who looked straight at her back felt cold, and her body couldn't help shrinking. "Okay, you recruit carefully. If you dare to say half a word, you will not be able to survive or die. β
Rong Chenghan's voice was not high, but this woman instinctively knew that Rong Chenghan's words were by no means to scare her.
"Slaves recruit, confess, slaves dare not lie." The mother-in-law trembled her lips and said.
It is not an easy thing to poison people in Rongyuan Hall, first of all, where did this mother-in-law's poison come from?
"Yes, yes......" The woman was about to speak, when she heard footsteps outside. There is a little guy outside the door to report, saying that there is something important to return.
Rong Chenghan motioned to Mrs. He to stop for the time being, and called the little maid in.
"What's the matter?" Rong Chenghan asked the little guy, seemingly dissatisfied with being disturbed at this juncture.
"Back to the Hou Ye, someone outside asked to see the princess and the Hou Ye, saying that they knew who had murdered the prince." The little guy is busy with the courtesy report.
"Oh?" He Pozi was just about to confess here, and someone outside came to tell her. That's a coincidence.
Everyone in the room exchanged their heads, and many of them had suspicious looks on their faces. Obviously, this kind of thing happened at this time, and it was all unexpected by them.
"What does the concubine think?" Rong Chenghan didn't make his own decisions this time, but asked the Su family.
"Oh......" Su Shi seemed to be a little undecided. She didn't look at the Su brothers, but subconsciously looked at Su Qingnuan.
Su Qingnuan has been standing by Su's side, and she naturally heard the report of the little girl clearly. There was no expression on Su's face, and a trace of consternation flashed in Su Qingnuan's eyes, but then he covered it up.
Even if Su Qingnuan wanted to decide for Su at this time, she couldn't speak.
Su Qingnuan didn't get an answer from him, so Su had to make his own decisions.
"Then, then...... someone came to tell SΓΉ who killed Rong Chengyi, there is really no reason not to call someone in and ask, "Call in and ask." β
"Yes." Rong Chenghan was as good as a stream, and immediately sent the little guy out.
After a while, the little guy led an old man in. This old man was dressed as a servant of the palace, and was obviously also a subordinate of the palace. Not only did Liu Ruoxi look at this person, but everyone in the room didn't seem to recognize him. Looking at the old man's dress, it is obvious that it is not decent, but an ordinary roughness.
Seeing this old man, the only one who showed astonishment was Mrs. He.
But He Pozi didn't seem to recognize this person.
The old man knelt down and kowtowed to Rong Chenghan, and reported his name to be Jiang Fu, a miscellaneous servant in the palace to watch the West Corner Gate.
"Jiang Fu, you know who killed the son. If you tell the truth, you will be rewarded. If you dare to lie and deceive, you don't need this old bone. Rong Chenghan said.
"Report to the Hou Ye, the old slave doesn't dare to lie about it." Jiang Fu was busy kowtowing.
"Okay, tell me, who killed the son?" Rong Chenghan asked.
ββ¦β¦ It's this Mrs. He. Jiang Fu looked left and right, and naturally saw He Pozi kneeling next to him, so he pointed to He Pozi.
"This old slave's words are clearly not credible." Su Qingnuan suddenly spoke.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Su Qingnuan. Su Qingnuan has always kept her duty and did not speak. She herself knew that on such occasions, there was no room for her to speak. But now, Su Qingnuan couldn't help it. (To be continued......)
