"Mrs. Hui, the slave maid thinks that she should first find out who has been exposed to the fetal pills, so that she can have a chance to do it, and then check among these people one by one."

Jade's words sound reasonable.

And this fetal medicine was brought back by Pearl from the Rejuvenation Hall, and the first person who could do her hands and feet in the medicine was her.

"Mom, I'll leave this matter to you." Lu said to Mother Song on the side, "I'm a little tired, go and rest." ”

She searched for Tong Shuang all day yesterday, and in addition to the previous redness, her spirit was quite poor and she needed more bed rest.

"Ah Jin, you can help Mother Song on the side." Lu told Tong Xuedao that he already trusted her very much.

Tong Xue nodded, and after helping the Lu family back to the inner room to rest, she walked to the outside room, sat in the overly wide rose chair, looked at Jade and said, "I have found out that all this is done by you, if you confess the mastermind behind the scenes, for the sake of your ten years of serving your mother, I will ask my mother to give a dowry and find a good family to marry for you." ”

Jade never expected Tong Xue to say this.

Her lips opened, and she said with a pale face for a while: "If the slave and maid do anything wrong, please ask the eldest girl but say that it is okay, the slave and the maid are willing to be punished, but the eldest girl said that the slave and maid moved their hands and feet in the medicine, and the slave and maid did not admit it." The slave has never touched the medicine bag, nor has she entered the warehouse, please return the slave and maid to innocence! ”

After speaking, he straightened his back and knelt down in front of Tong Xue, looking extremely aggrieved and unyielding.

Mother Song is the marriage of the Lu family, and she has also watched Tong Xue change little by little these days, seeing that she is no longer as stubborn and unpopular as before, I heard that she suddenly accused Jade, I only thought that she must have some real evidence, so she said to Jade with a cold face on the side: "The girl said this, she must have mastered the evidence." You still refuse to admit it, do you ignore the life and death of your mother? ”

Like Pearl, Jade is also a family child, and her ancestors have been slaves in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion for generations, and if she really commits any heinous crimes, she is afraid that her parents and family will also be implicated.

"The slave and the maid have not done anything, and the mother does not believe in the slave and the maid anymore?" Jade said, two lines of tears suddenly fell from her eyes.

The appearance of shedding tears before saying a word, wanting to complain, coupled with the stubborn expression on her face, looked extremely aggrieved.

"In that case, then bring those two girls up and ask." Tong Xue said, and instructed Pearl and Cailan: "Tie up the jadeite, gag it, and drag it behind the screen!" ”

"Yes!" Pearl and Blue received the order at the same time, found the rope, and walked towards the jade.

"The slave and maid did nothing, and the girl did not believe it, so the slave and maid had to apologize with death!" Jade suddenly raised her head and looked at Tong Xue angrily.

Ran Tong Xue only stared at her expressionlessly.

The eyes are sharp, as if you can see the depths of her soul at a glance, not at all like a ten-year-old child.

Being stared at with such a straightforward and sharp gaze, Jade suddenly glanced away with some weakness.

She wiped her tears vigorously, looked at the Nanmu table placed in the center of the room, and was about to collide.

However, none of the people in the room had any intention of stopping it.

Jade's heart suddenly cooled.

However, at this moment, she is ready to fly, she has made such a gesture, if she does not continue, will she not appear to be a thief?

Jade gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and slammed into the corner of the thick pitch-black nanmu table.

"Bang!" The forehead hit the table, making a sound that was neither light nor heavy.

Jade rolled her eyes, and her whole body staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Since there is no bloodshed, it must be fine, gag and tie up." Tong Xue had a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and calmly instructed Cai Lan.

People who really seek death, that strength is only afraid that they can knock a nanmu table to the ground and move it, which is like jade, a shallow red mark on the forehead, and there is not even a wound.

Jade's fingers hanging down at her side trembled visibly.

She was already stunned, and no matter how much she hated in her heart, she couldn't wake up suddenly.

She had to let herself be tied like a lamb to the slaughter, gagged, and stuffed behind the screen.

Then, Tong Xue instructed Pearl to instruct the two rough mothers-in-law to pick up the two little girls who chewed the root of their tongues.

Waiting for nothing, Tong Xue told Song's mother and Cai Lan her plans.

Mother Song felt that the plan was very successful when she heard this, so she only lowered her voice with some hesitation: "After all, Jade has served by Madame's side for several years, and she is a child of a family, and the relationship is intertwined. ”

Tong Xue nodded.

The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has stood for a hundred years, and the family servants have been extended from generation to generation, and they have already penetrated into the Chinese side of the mansion.

Lu Fang was punished before, but the evidence was conclusive, and Lu Fang's mother Lao Tzu understood the matter and took the initiative to admit his mistake, Tong Jingxuan rewarded another 500 taels of silver, and wrote off the previous crimes committed by Lu Fang, and the matter was calmly revealed.

In the same way for Jade, she has served by the Lu family for ten years, if she is punished in vain, then her mother Lao Tzu will be cheeky, and the rest of the in-laws in the United Mansion will make trouble, and there will be a little rumor that the Lu family is not strict, and the rumors of frequent accidents in the back house will spread, and the face of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is not good-looking.

"Thank you mom for reminding me, I understand." Since Tong Xue has made up her mind to tie up people, she will convince Jade.

After a while, Pearl led the two little girls up.

"How do you figure out where this rumor came from?" Tong Xue sat on the rose chair and looked at them kindly.

The two girls saw that Mother Song was still a little stunned in her heart, but when she saw Tong Xue asking, she couldn't help but be bolder.

Then the general discussed for a morning and said like a bean: "The slave knows the mistake. The slave maid deliberately said these words to deceive Yingmei, and asked the girl to punish her. ”

"I heard it clearly in the morning, you mentioned Sister Yu'er, do you know where this "sister" is on an errand, and how did you get acquainted? ”

There are not many girls with "jade" in their names in the house, and there happens to be one in the Rising Sun Hall.

is a second-class girl, coincidentally, she is the one who boiled medicine for the Lu family in the morning.

If the Lu family really drank the medicine, what were the three longs and two shorts, even if they failed to plant the pearl on the head, then Yu'er was the second excellent scapegoat.

The two of you, look at me, I look at you, the young one said with a sad face: "It was the slave maid who was washing clothes once, and vaguely heard Sister Yu mention it, and then made it up out of thin air, and it has nothing to do with Sister Yu." ”

"Still not half the truth, it's really two treacherous little girls!"

Tong Xue patiently asked these two people, originally wanting to see if they could get anything out of their mouths, but who knew that these two people were full of nonsense, really thinking that she was a ten-year-old child, and she was deceived at will!

"Cai Lan, go search her room. Report anything unusual immediately! ”

"Yes!" Cai Lan led the order to go out, but with a cup of tea, he came in with two purses.

"Girl, a purse was found under each of these two pillows, and each of them contained thirty taels of silver."

Cai Lan presented the purse to Tong Xue.

Tong Xue swept her eyebrows coldly, and said to the two of them: "What else do you have to say?" ”
