Xiao Zhisu sneered in her heart when she heard this, she was passing by, who would have stolen her shoes and passed by Qingxin Pavilion specifically? This sentence seems to be defending herself, but in fact, it is putting her in danger.

What's more, it was her late mother who made trouble, who could be more motivated than her? Moreover, as far as she is concerned, if this matter is revealed like this, Xue Shiyan can also use this to tell people that the eldest aunt has no way to discipline and allows the younger people to steal at will, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

Old Mrs. Xiao rubbed the corners of her forehead tiredly, and her eyes swept over Xiao Zhisu, "Nine girls, you said, was it you last night?" ”

"Grandmother, you are my own grandmother, why should I do such a thing? I also asked my grandmother to look into the matter. Xiao Zhisu stood up and walked to the center of the hall, blessed.

"Girl, you don't hold a grudge because the old lady punished you last time, but let the slave scare the old lady and relieve the hatred in your heart." Rao Xiang suddenly interjected, trembling with fear, "Please forgive the old lady for the girl, the girl has no malicious intentions, just ......"

"Presumptuous! It's the other way around! Old Lady Xiao's face was dark and blue, and her gaze when she looked at Xiao Zhisu was completely cold and distrustful.

As soon as Rao Xiang's words came out, Xiao Zhisu knew that something was wrong, if the big motive was that the grandmother might still believe that there was a deception, but if the truth was just a child's prank, if she was angry, she would have great power. hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, "Grandmother, the stakes are so high, how can you be convicted by the words of a girl." Since the finger is pointed at me, I should also explain two sentences for myself. Since it is a sweat medicine, it must be right to ask someone who understands medical science, Jiu'er wants to invite Du Weak girl from Taohuawu to come to visit. ”

"I heard that the ninth girl and the third son are getting close, I'm afraid it will be unfair to invite Miss Du to come." Aunt Xu said in a low voice, although her words were soft, they were enough for everyone present to hear them clearly.

"Auntie's words are wrong, although I am good friends with the third brother, but this matter is on the surface, if Miss Du has the slightest partiality, the other doctors will know it as soon as they check it. Or does the aunt suspect that the third brother will do such a thing? Xiao Zhisu also expected that someone would stop her from inviting Du Wan, but she didn't expect that it would be Xu Wei, who was framed again and again today, but she was really threatened by Xue Shiyan?

Xu Wei dared to say it again, this was implicated in the eldest lady's favorite little son, feeling the oppressive gaze of the eldest lady, she could only pale her face, and Fuli replied, "How dare you be a concubine." ”

Old Lady Xiao waved her hand and said weakly, "Yingqiao, Shiyan, you are watching here." Yan'er, let's go and rest with my grandmother. ”

"Yes, grandmother." Xiao Zhiyan hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Xiao, and when she passed by Xiao Zhisu, she glanced at her proudly.

Xiao Zhisu bit her lip, and her grandmother brushed her sleeves and left, obviously distrusting herself. Regardless of whether she clarified it afterwards or not, in her heart, the fact that she disrespected her had already been seared into her heart.

Seeing that the old lady went down, Xie Yingqiao didn't breathe a sigh of relief, because the old lady brought Xue Shiyan up before leaving, obviously warning her to supervise her not to bend the law for personal gain, sighed with a headache, and said, "Nine girls, you get up first, Feiyu, go and invite Miss Du." ”

This Du weak Xie Yingqiao has also heard of it, saying that it is the confidante of the third child, but it is just a girl who has not left the cabinet and stays in Taohuawu all day long, and she has no name or point, which makes her a little unhappy. She also asked the third child, but she was always confused by him, and she didn't bother to care about it after a long time.

After less than half a cup of tea, Du Wan entered the Qingxin Pavilion under the leadership of the maid, and he didn't look at everyone, but just blessed Xie Yingqiao, and then said, "What is the matter with the ninth girl?" ”

Xiao Zhisu bowed her head, then looked at Rao Xiang, and asked softly, "You drank Sleep Soup last night?" So you don't know what's going on? ”

Rao Xiang stole a glance at Du Weak, and said with his jaw headed, "Yes...... The slave and maid slept too soundly and knew nothing. ”

"How much did you drink? A bowl? Woke up just after the hour arrived? ”

"A bowl...... It's just ...... when she arrived" Rao Xiang didn't know what she was doing when she asked this, so she could only answer randomly.

Xiao Zhisu nodded, then looked at Du Wan and asked, "What is the effect of the sleeping soup?" ”

Du Wan immediately understood what she meant, and replied, "The sleeping soup in the house is uniformly distributed, and I once asked the doctor in the house curiously, how to say this kind of medicine, I have to sleep until the beginning of the morning." ”

Xiao Zhisu tilted her head and asked Rao Xiang, "So, why did you wake up early?" ”

Rao Xiang was a little stunned and stammered, "Maybe...... Probably because of ...... I remembered wrong, or I only put half a packet of powdered pills. ”

Xiao Zhisu suddenly realized, and asked Du Wan again, "Half a pack of sleeping powder, how long can I sleep?" ”

"If you fall asleep with the soup made of sleep powder, you will sleep much more peacefully. However, I can't sleep when I wake up. Therefore, half a pack of sleeping powder, from three o'clock to the second hour. ”

At this time, Rao Xiang was already a little panicked, and Xiao Zhisu took the opportunity to say sharply, "You are already guilty of dereliction of duty by drinking sleeping soup as a night vigil girl, not to mention this, but you dare to commit the next crime and identify it indiscriminately." ”

"Girl, I didn't ...... At that time, I saw that the time was almost up, and I dared to ...... Only dare to ......" Rao Xiang pressed his whole body to the ground, and his back was already soaked with sweat. I wanted to ask Aunt Xue for help, but I didn't dare, so I could only tremble and lie down.

Xiao Zhisu didn't pay attention to her anymore, but turned to look at Xie Yingqiao, and said, "Auntie, can Su Su invite another person over?" ”

"Who?"

"Mama Qin."

Before Mama Qin came, Zhuohua took a look at the footprints outside the courtyard, because the sun was hot at this time, and the footprints had already dried, probably because of the rain, and there was some grass sticking to the shallow depression.

After reading the footprints, Mama Qin walked into the main hall and had already heard about the matter on the way, so as soon as she entered, she shook her head firmly and said, "This is not the footprints of the ninth girl." ”

"Oh? What does this mean? Xue Shiyan sneered, but her eyebrows and eyes smiled.

Although Mama Qin came from the palace, she had also experienced a big scene, she didn't look at Xue Shiyan, but said directly to Xie Yingqiao, "Big lady, the old body has been teaching the nine girls lotus steps these days. It's also ashamed to say that the nine girls learned everything well, but the next step was too steady and the movements were not light enough. And the footprints outside the courtyard are obviously not the Nine Girls', the depth is too shallow, it can be seen that the Renlian walks very well, if the Nine Girls can do this, the old body does not have to worry. ”

When Xiao Zhisu heard the last slightly teasing words, she blushed and coughed twice in embarrassment. Relieved, she bowed down to Mama Qin, and then said to Xie Yingqiao, "Auntie, I have always paid attention to the footprints before, and there are also around, but they are vague, I think they were left when she walked, and what Mama Qin saw should have been scared after she pretended to be a ghost, and stopped for a moment to look back at what she left behind." So the footprints are clear, thanks to the fact that it was after the rain, otherwise the footprints would have been washed away, presumably the person who framed me also picked a good time, if it was before the rain or when it rained, the footprints would naturally be useless, and I would not have been framed. ”

"Since this matter has been found out to have nothing to do with the nine girls, I will tell the old lady the truth." Xie Yingqiao thought about it and concluded, there was still Mama Qin at this time, she really didn't want to show people this kind of thing that was not on the table in the inner house, and she would have a reputation for not governing the family strictly. Then he glanced at the others meaningfully, "But I will continue to investigate this matter, whoever dares to pretend to be a ghost in the Xiao Mansion, I will definitely let him know that it is powerful." The third daughter-in-law, do you say yes? ”

Xue Shiyan bowed her head elegantly and said unhurriedly, "What my sister-in-law said is that Su Su has just come back, and someone dares to frame her, and she must not be spared!" Fortunately, the old lady is fine, and now that she is accompanied by Yan'er, she will be fine soon. ”

Xiao Zhisu snorted coldly, and did not say a word about Xue Shiyan's words. Her words were ostensibly to defend herself, but in fact she was warning the subordinates in the house, telling them that she was just a powerless and powerless girl, and if something happened, Mrs. Xiao was suspicious of her granddaughter and favored the one who came out of the concubine.

Later, I couldn't find out what happened to this matter, and it couldn't be regarded as a solution. Xiao Zhisu was glad that she hadn't practiced the lotus step yet, so she found a gap and turned over. But this did not completely clear her suspicion, at least on the way back to Tian Su Pavilion, those maids looked at her with taboo eyes.
