Chapter 183: Interrogation
Even when she saw Hongluan coming in, Su Qing didn't speak, and even her expression didn't change.
Let's say that Hongluan came in, King Jin and Wei Ziyu were both staring at Su Qing, wanting to see how she reacted. Seeing that she didn't see anything abnormal at all, Wei Ziyu perked up and looked at Su Qing suspiciously. "Sister Su doesn't know this"
Su Qing squinted at her and pursed her lips slightly, "Sister Princess said with a smile, this is a second-class maid in the courtyard of the concubine, how can the concubine not know it." ”
"Then why didn't my sister see her but didn't see any surprise, could it be that my sister already knew about today's events?"
King Jin glanced at Wei Ziyu, which made her heart tighten, but fortunately, the prince didn't say anything, and Wei Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"This ......" Su Qing looked embarrassed, as if she was a little hesitant, and paused before continuing. When she returned to the house, the concubine saw that the people in the house looked at the concubine's body differently, so she asked Zhu'er to find the cleaning girl she met on the side of the road and asked, only to know that there was such a thing in the house. I didn't expect someone to dare to use such vicious methods against the princess's sister, the princess's sister must investigate thoroughly, as for this maid who eats inside and out, let the princess's sister deal with it, but also ask the prince to find out the real murderer, and give the princess's sister justice. ”
Su Qing looked at the prince sincerely, with a hint of distress in his eyes, King Jin's heart twitched, he knew that Su Qing was feeling sorry for him, and he was distressed that he was unintentionally put on a table, and even let his sister-in-law delay coming.
Wei Ziyu looked at the two of them from the side, her heart was cramping, her face was pale, and she was even more sure that she had to beat Su Qing into the dust to relieve the hatred in her heart.
"The prince also said that it must be investigated, otherwise if there is such a vicious person hiding in the secret in the house, it will ...... in the future" Sure enough, her words attracted the attention of King Jin, and he turned his head to look at her, and saw that her face was very pale, and there was still some fear in her eyes, and her heart was soft. Even if there is no love for this cousin like Su Qing, there is still some affection.
Reaching out and patting her hand, King Jin suddenly stiffened again for some reason, withdrew his hand and looked at Su Qing. saw that she had lowered her head, as if she hadn't seen this scene. With a sigh of relief in his heart, Wei Ziyu over there naturally saw this qiē in his eyes, and his originally happy and proud mood suddenly sank to the bottom.
"Hongluan, be honest. Where did you get the safflower musk in your room? Where is it used? There was a scolding voice from the prince in her ears, Wei Ziyu raised her spirits, and looked, as long as Su Qing was gone, was she still afraid that she would not be able to hold the prince's heart, sooner or later.
Hongluan, who was kneeling below, had a face full of fear, and his body trembled even more when he heard this. "Slave, slave, slave doesn't know where those things come from."
King Jin glanced at Wei Ziyu and saw that her face had improved a lot at this time. And he spoke no more. The affairs of the inner courtyard are managed by the princess, and before this matter, Wei Ziyu also said that she would interrogate herself, Wei Ziyu had been waiting for a long time, so naturally she would not shirk it. "You dare to quibble, things were clearly found in your room, and you said you don't know where they came from."
"Back to the princess, the slave really doesn't know, the slave hasn't used anything like that."
"Concubine Ben asked you, can anyone enter your room on weekdays?" Hongluan followed Su Qing into the mansion, and they had only been in the mansion for less than a month. In such a short period of time, some things are easier to check.
"Slave maid......" Hongluan said and looked at Su Qing carefully, Wei Ziyu raised her eyebrows, "Look at what Concubine Su is doing." Could it be that Concubine Su can still help you testify. This statement shows the viciousness of her heart, if Concubine Su can testify for her, then Su Qing will not be able to get away from this matter, and now Hongluan has been involved, Su Qing's testimony is likely to be a cover-up. You must know that the rules in the love courtyard are strict, even if it is the maid's room. On weekdays, you have to lock yourself up to prevent people from entering.
If Concubine Su doesn't help her testify, it is likely to chill the hearts of her subordinates, but Hongluan is her confidant. Now that Hongluan has not been convicted, she will let Hongluan care, which makes those who work under Su Qing think in their hearts.
When Su Qing would react, Hongluan over there had already shaken his head quickly. "No, no, only the slave and maid can enter the slave and maid room on weekdays, and the rooms are locked."
"Bold Hongluan, you still dare to quibble, since it is said that you are the only one who can enter the room, then who put the safflower musk not from you?" Wei Ziyu stretched out her hand and slapped the table, scolding loudly.
"Slave maid...... Slaves...... The slave and maid are wronged. Hongluan seemed to be frightened, lying on the ground and kowtowing, but after a while, he was already red.
"Sister, if you don't say anything about this girl, why don't you start from another place, maybe you can find it." Su Qing suddenly opened her mouth at this time, Wei Ziyu's conditional reaction was to refuse, how good Su Qing's mention could be, maybe it was digging a pit and waiting for her.
Who knew that the King of Jin nodded in response, Wei Ziyu's heart was stuffed, didn't she say that she was in charge of the inner courtyard.
"Qing'er has any way, you might as well talk about it." In fact, King Jin was also annoyed by the maid's kowtow, and he always felt that Su Qing was resourceful.
"The concubine heard that something in my sister's room had been soaked in those safflowers and other things, and my sister knew what those things were and where they came from? Have you taken it to the laundry room recently? ”
Hearing this, King Jin turned his head to look at Wei Ziyu, and suddenly felt that such a simple question, Wei Ziyu hadn't even thought of checking it before, and he couldn't help but feel that it was still not as smart as Qing'er.
Wei Ziyu paused, she had already cleaned up those things, and she felt that there would be no problem in her heart. "It's all the concubine's dowry, and I just took it to the laundry room to wash it a few days ago." It's all pillows and other things, and sometimes it's normal to wash them when they feel dirty.
"My sister is right, come and bring the laundry housekeeper." As he spoke, he raised his voice and said outside.
Su Qing didn't speak again after that, and Hongluan was still kneeling on the ground softly, but she didn't kowtow anymore.
Presently a round woman of about thirty years of age entered, and after bowing respectfully, she knelt there and did not dare to move.
"Mama Ma, I took the pillow from Concubine Ben to the laundry room to clean a few days ago, do you know who is in charge of cleaning?"
"Back to the princess, it's Qingqiu who is washing." Mama Ma looked quite calm, although she was nervous, but when she answered, she spoke clearly.
"Where's Qingqiu?"
"She is not feeling well these days, and the slave maid allowed her to go back on leave to recuperate."
Su Qing raised her eyebrows, she was sick by such a coincidence, with such an obvious flaw, could it be that Wei Ziyu thought that she would not call that Qingqiu back, right? Or is that Qingqiu already dead? (To be continued.) )
