The lotus and the chrysanthemum really stuffed it into the osmanthus mouth, the osmanthus bit her mouth desperately and struggled, her body arched and moved towards Ling'er, and her eyes begged Ling'er for help.

The sister-in-law saw that they were about to open the mouth of the osmanthus, and hurriedly stopped the two: "Okay, okay, don't get it, lotus chrysanthemum, it's still useful for your young lady to keep her, don't mess around." ”

Lotus Chrysanthemum let go of her hand, but kicked her ass hard and took a bite. Ling'er sat down and asked the lotus to help the osmanthus up, and the osmanthus knelt in front of Ling'er and kowtowed: "Miss spare her life, the slave and maid really don't mean to harm the miss, all blame the slave and maid for being greedy for a while, the slave and the maid are wrong, beg the lady to spare the slave and the maid this time!" ”

Ling'er looked at her with a dark face: "What benefits did that woman give you?" ”

Osmanthus said timidly with tears in her eyes: "She...... She promised to let the slave and maid out of the house, and returned the ...... and gave the slave and maid a thousand taels of silver. ”

Ling'er sneered: "It turns out that I was stingy." ”

"The slave and maid don't dare, they all blame the slave and maid for being greedy, and the young lady spares her life!" Osmanthus kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy, making Ling'er upset, she held her forehead and waved her hand, asking Lotus to block her mouth and lock her in the utility room first.

Seeing that Osmanthus was arrested and imprisoned, the sister-in-law said, "Sister, is this appropriate?" Is this medicine really that strong? If it's really just a laxative......"

Ling'er said: "Lotus, go catch a wild cat." ”

The lotus flower went in response, the courtyard was silent, everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, Ling'er and sister-in-law looked at the remaining osmanthus cake at the same time.

After a while, Lotus came in with a wild cat and tied it to a tree. He cut a small ball of the remaining osmanthus cake and put it in front of the wild cat.

The wild cat sniffed and began to lick it, and before the little piece was finished, the wild cat suddenly began to go berserk. After a while, it gradually lost its strength, its body softened on the ground, and its seven orifices began to bleed.

Ling'er was shocked and angry, and there was still a trace of fear in her heart, she had been in this world for so long. I never felt that the danger was so close, and I was just a little bit close to dying in Huangquan. And this poisonous hand is likely to come from this body's own grandmother.

Ling'er clenched her lip and clenched her fists, damn it, if I let me know that it was the old woman who made trouble, I would make sure she didn't die well. There can be no more hesitation.

Lotus and a few people said angrily: "Where is this where you can get good by pulling your stomach for two days?" This is clearly the life of our young lady! ”

The sister-in-law was also surprised. She has been in the house for more than two years, although she has been bullied a lot, but she has never encountered such a thing, thinking that she almost killed her sister because of herself, she felt guilty, "Sister, I... I ......"

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be sad. This matter has nothing to do with you. However, I also need you to help me testify. ”

When the sister-in-law heard this, she immediately nodded: "Okay." Sister, what do you want your sister-in-law to do, just say. ”

Ling'er stood up and paced around the yard, thinking carefully in her mind, how could she find out the real murderer behind the scenes? That old lady Zhong bought the osmanthus to harm me, and now she is waiting for news, right? How can I know if this matter is related to Mrs. Jiang?

Ling'er raised her eyes and looked at her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, how many years have you been in the house?" How much do you know about Granny Chung? ”

The sister-in-law thought about it and shook her head slowly: "I only know that there is such a person, and she can't even match who she is." ”

"If it's just an ordinary janitor, how can I get angry with the old lady because of what I said, so I ran to design and tried to kill me? There must be something strange in this. ”

"What do you mean by ...... sister?"

"She alone is definitely not so bold, there must be someone behind it."

The sister-in-law thought for a while: "The old lady has been sick for a long time and has not come out,...... Could it be Madame? ”

"Impossible."

"Why? Sister, isn't Madame at odds with you? ”

Ling'er shook her head and said very surely: "No matter how much I don't get along with her, she won't do it, hasn't she already helped me find a good in-law to marry me off?" There is only half a month left, what is she in a hurry? ”

Moreover, remembering the words in the small garden that day, Mrs. Jiang didn't have the heart to deal with herself now, she was waiting to see a good show, and she wished that she and the old lady would pinch you to death.

In this case, the person who instructed it could only be Mrs. Jiang? Isn't she seriously ill? Could it be that she is pretending to be sick? Or is it really just Mrs. Zhong's own assertions? Only one of the two is the truth.

At this time, Chrysanthemum said: "Miss, the slave and maid think of something, I don't know if to say it?" ”

"Say it!"

"I remember that when the slave maid was still on an errand beside Miss Yan'er, I heard Mrs. mention that the Granny Zhong in the old lady's courtyard was different from ordinary mother-in-law, because the old lady's maiden family was also surnamed Zhong, and they seemed to be relatives."

"Relatives...... Is it? "No wonder Granny Zhong hates herself so much, it turns out that there is still this relationship, is it really her own assertion?

Ling'er thought about it, but she was really not sure which one was the answer.

She stopped, by the way, a person here can't think of a result if she wants to break her head, it's better to find a way to let them say it themselves, as for the way......

"Lotus, chrysanthemum, bring out the osmanthus."

The two dragged the osmanthus out, and the osmanthus kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy, and Ling'er squatted down: "You think I let you go, right?" ”

Osmanthus nodded tearfully like pounding garlic, and Ling'er said in a low voice: "I'll give you a chance, as long as you help me do it, the conditions agreed before are still counted, and this identity document can also be given to you." ”

Osmanthus's eyes lit up, and she looked at Ling'er.

"Listen, I'm not going to say it a second time." Ling'er muttered in Osmanthus's ear for a while, and Osmanthus widened.

Ling'er stood up: "Hear clearly, as long as you get things done, I'll give you another five hundred taels of running expenses." But on the contrary, if you want to mess things up, I will not be as soft as I am now, and I will definitely let you die without a place to bury. ”

Ling'er said it categorically, so frightened that Osmanthus trembled, and she lay on the ground: "Slave... The slave will live up to the young lady's trust. ”

Ling'er nodded, "Osmanthus, loosen the tie; Lotus, go prepare hot water for your clothes and wash her well. ”

After the osmanthus was dressed and came to Ling'er, at this time she no longer had the previous shrewd calculations, and there were many rules for speaking, she timidly gave Ling'er a blessing and saluted, and whispered: "Miss, slave maid...... You ready. ”

Ling'er looked at her and saw that she was dressed the same as before, but her expression was completely different, and she frowned slightly: "Naturally, your face will be seen at a glance." ”

Osmanthus squeezed her eyebrows and adjusted her expression, and after tossing for a while, Ling'er was satisfied: "Yes, that's it, let's go!" ”

Osmanthus came out of Ling'er's yard, stood at the door for a while, and then trotted to the old lady's yard.

As soon as she left, Ling'er asked Chrysanthemum to lie on the bed on her behalf, put down a few layers of tents, and asked Lotus to ask the doctor in a hurry, and then asked her sister-in-law to pretend to be anxious to stay in front of the bed, and no one was allowed to lift the mosquito net.

She herself changed into chrysanthemum clothes, dotted some small pockmarks and two big black moles on her face, and walked out of the courtyard door lightly and walked quickly to the old lady's courtyard alone. (To be continued......)
