Lotus was also very surprised, she hadn't encountered this kind of thing for a long time, and she never imagined that the person who was going to deal with Miss this time was the best young grandmother with Miss.

Lotus also sank her face, and said in an unkind tone: "Grandma, don't you know that silver utensils will turn black when they encounter poison?" Look at this silver hairpin black, this is clearly for our young lady's life! ”

"Poison?" The sister-in-law looked at the silver hairpin blankly and then looked at Ling'er and the lotus, and after a while, she suddenly turned white, and reached out to take out the silver hairpin, "This ...... How so? ”

Ling'er narrowed her eyes slightly: "This is exactly what I want to ask my sister-in-law." ”

"Sister, you... What do you mean......"

Lotus said: "Grandma Da Shao, this pot of water has just come out of the well, it can't be poisonous, this osmanthus cake is brought by you, I don't know what grudge Grandma Da Shao has with our young lady, and you want to do this?" ”

"I didn't! How so? My sister helped me so much, how could I hurt my sister? Sister, you have to believe me, I swear to the heavens, if I have the slightest intention of harming you, I will be thundered by the sky and die a good death. ”

The sister-in-law was so anxious that she raised her hand and swore a poisonous oath, without the slightest hesitation, Ling'er looked at her eager eyes, thinking about it carefully, the sister-in-law really has no reason to harm herself, and if she really has the intention to harm herself, why should she poison the osmanthus cake she brought? If something happens to me, my sister-in-law can't get out of it in the first place.

Seeing that Ling'er didn't speak, the sister-in-law was even more anxious, and grabbed Ling'er's hand: "Sister, you have to believe me, I really didn't harm you, I really didn't, if you don't believe it." I...... I'm willing to die headbutt. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive." Ling'er grabbed her and looked down at the remaining osmanthus cakes in the food box: "Is this osmanthus cake made by you yourself, sister-in-law?" ”

"yes!"

"Where did the materials come from?"

"The ingredients were all brought from the big kitchen in Fuchu, and I tasted two bites when I came out of the pot. No problem at all! ”

"That'...... Who has ever touched this food box or osmanthus cake after it is ready? ”

The sister-in-law thought for a while: "After I made it, I put it in the food box, put it for half an hour, and settled Xiao Ming before I came over with Osmanthus, by the way, Osmanthus helped me carry the food box on the way." ”

Ling'er immediately turned her head to look at Osmanthus, and Osmanthus hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, no, it's not me." Miss, even if I carry it for a while, I never open it! I've always been with my grandmother. Grandma can testify. ”

The sister-in-law thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, sister, Osmanthus has been following me." I haven't seen her open a food box. ”

Ling'er's cold gaze turned a few times between the sister-in-law and the osmanthus. The sister-in-law has been looking at herself nervously, but the osmanthus has lowered her eyes and lowered her head, and has not met her eyes, so she looks at the osmanthus problem.

Ling'er gave the lotus a look, and the lotus understood, walked a few steps quickly, closed the courtyard door, and dropped the latch. The sister-in-law was a little surprised when she saw it, but the osmanthus was frightened on her face, but she didn't squeak. Just sit with your head bowed and twist your handkerchief vigorously.

The yard is exceptionally quiet. No one dared to make a sound, Ling'er stared at the osmanthus and said quietly: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Osmanthus glanced at it secretly and quickly lowered her head, bit her lip and said, "Miss, slave family...... Don't know what you're talking about? ”

"I really don't know?"

Osmanthus lowered her head, and Ling'er took out a booklet from her sleeve: "This is your identity document, I was going to give it to you in two days, since you are not honest, I can't keep you." Lotus, go and inform the housekeeper and find someone to come with a tooth. ”

Osmanthus gritted her teeth and still didn't mean to beg for mercy, but just looked at Ling'er with flickering eyes: "Miss, you have no evidence, how can you convict the slave family for this?" Even if you want to sell the slave family to the Qinglou, you ...... We also have to find out what happened first! ”

The more she said this, the more sure Ling'er was that this matter had something to do with her, since the soft one couldn't do it, then the only one was hard.

"Lotus, chrysanthemum, tie her up, hit forty boards first, and then ask the master to judge if she is alive."

Lotus and Chrysanthemum really took the rope and rushed up, Osmanthus was a little anxious, stood up and said: "Miss, you can't do this, even if the slave family is at fault, you should hand over the slave family to Mrs., and you can't abuse lynching." ”

Ling'er narrowed her eyes: "Osmanthus, it's not the first time you and I have dealt with each other, and you know best if I have the means." You want me to take you to Madame, don't you? I just didn't send it, first beat you to death and then report to my father, the human and material evidence is there, you deserve it, and then I will slowly investigate the people behind the scenes, as long as I want to know if there is nothing that can't be done. ”

Osmanthus bit her lip and looked at Ling'er, she could see that she was measuring hesitation, Ling'er slapped her palm on the stone table, obviously only a little harder, that palm went down, the stone table clicked, and a moment later the place that she slapped fell down with a bang.

Everyone was shocked, and Ling'er shouted loudly: "Do it!" “

The ropes of the lotus and the chrysanthemum were soon put on the neck of the osmanthus, and the osmanthus shouted in shock: "Miss spare your life, Miss spare your life, the slave and maid say, the slave and maid will say everything." ”

Ling'er didn't stop the lotus flowers, and let them tie the osmanthus into zongzi and throw them in front of Ling'er, the osmanthus was so frightened that her face turned white, and Ling'er's skirt was in front of her: "If you want to say it early, you won't have the strength to say it after the board is finished later." ”

"Miss spare your life, yes...... It was Granny Zhong who asked the slave to teach you a small lesson, and the slave thought that it was not a poison, and at most it would make the young lady uncomfortable for a few days...... I agreed. ”

"Granny Zhong? Which Granny Chung? ”

Lotus said: "Miss, it's the janitor in the old lady's yard, her surname is Zhong, and everyone calls her Granny Zhong." ”

She! I don't seem to have offended her, right? Why do you do this to me? Ling'er thought about it, could it be the old lady's instructions? Isn't the old lady insanely ill? She looked down at the top of Osmanthus head: "Tell me clearly, what's going on?" ”

"Miss Hui, two days ago, Granny Zhong suddenly found me and said that Miss, you are disrespectful to the old lady, which has made the old lady's madness more serious, and the old lady is very angry, and it is not good to admonish the reason for the reason of the young lady's biological mother, but she has been with the old lady for decades, and she can't watch the old lady suffer, so she wants to teach the young lady a lesson.

Then she gave the slave a bottle of potion and asked the slave to find an opportunity to drip it in the young lady's food. ”

Osmanthus paused slightly, and added: "At that time, the slave maid asked her what kind of medicine it was, and she said that it was just a medicine that would hurt her stomach for a while, and it would be good to go to the toilet a few times, and it would not harm people's lives, so the slave maid should go down." ”

Lotus said angrily: "If this thing just hurts for a while, you can eat it for us first, and we'll see if you can get better if you hurt for a while?" ”

Lotus took the osmanthus cake and stuffed it into the osmanthus mouth, and scolded in her mouth: "You wolf-hearted thing, Miss is so good to you, help you get the deed of sale to go to the lowly status, and help you re-establish a household, and promise to give you so much silver, you actually dare to harm Miss at this juncture, I think you are clearly a black-hearted person, just matching this poison."

Chrysanthemum, come and help. (To be continued......)
