Just after lunch, Wu's mother tied up a mother-in-law and asked to see her outside the door, Jin Rou was very surprised, it was less than two hours......

Mother Wu brought in a round-faced mother-in-law, wearing a gray cotton jacket, a cyan lower skirt, her head was lowered, and there was a little maid next to her who had not yet kept her head, wearing a blue belt, which was the dress of a third-class girl in the yard.

"Back to the eldest princess, the slave maid according to the instructions of the eldest princess, first checked the people in the kitchen, there were a total of four mothers-in-law who went to Yahe Garden to deliver lunch that day, carrying two four-story brocade boxes, and the other three mothers-in-law can testify to each other that they have not seen each other leave the hall of Yahe Garden, only this Zhou mother-in-law is suspicious, and the slave and maid have interrogated, that is, she put the envelope under the teacup in the forsythia house." After speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Zhou fiercely.

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she hurriedly shouted: "The eldest princess forgives her sins, the slave and maid are not with the forsythia, and the slave and maid dare not harm the county lord!" ”

Mrs. Zhou got up early and heard the mother-in-law talking about Forsythia plotting to kill the county lord in private, and she was a little apprehensive, she and Forsythia turned out to be neighbors, knowing that Forsythia had a gambling father, and she had helped her pass things out over the years, but don't implicate yourself in anything! Unexpectedly, Wu's mother found the big kitchen in the morning, and asked what the people who went to deliver food in the kitchen did in Yahe Garden three days ago, and she knew that things were not good.

"Nothing to do with you? Then why are you sending a message to Forsythia and the people behind it!! Jin Rou picked up the pears in the Zhu Qi Wufu Shou plate on the table and smashed them Zhou Pozi's head. Mrs. Zhou was smashed, did she help Forsythia deliver the letter and what did it have to do with assassinating the county lord?

"The slave is wronged, the slave really doesn't know anything......!!" Mrs. Zhou is now only blindly shouting grievances, but she can't sort out her thoughts at all, and her mind has long been messed up.

Fang Yage looked at Mrs. Zhou in front of her, and felt strange in her heart, it stands to reason that most of the old people like Mrs. Zhou are slaves and maids in the house, she is not alone, there are children and grandchildren behind her, she is not a good candidate to be a secret whistle, not to mention her appearance, at first glance, she is a timid and afraid of things, not like a person with a city government, seeing that she is uninjured and traceless, she must not even have moved the punishment in the outer courtyard, and Mother Wu interrogated her......

Fang Yage sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Mrs. Zhou, who gave you that letter?" ”

"If the slave and maid return to the county lord, it will be given to the slave by Forsythia's cousin." Mrs. Zhou replied bluntly: "The slave maid and Forsythia used to be neighbors, and I knew that Forsythia and this cousin were destined to kiss the baby, so when she reached her age, she begged the master to see if she could point out a marriage for the two of them or let them out, so the two of them still move around a lot, and I have seen her cousin a few times, but I don't know his name." ”

With a sigh of relief, Mrs. Zhou continued: "A few days ago, Forsythia's cousin Tuo Nu and Maiden brought a letter to Forsythia, saying that he asked Forsythia about letting him out, and he said that he had prepared the silver for redemption, and he was just waiting for a reply from the house, because he couldn't see Forsythia, so he begged the slave and maid to bring a message, and he was afraid that the slave and maid would not be able to speak clearly, so he wrote a letter to Forsythia and asked the slave and maid to bring it in. Zhou's mother didn't dare to say that the forsythia's cousin also gave her two taels of silver to make hard-earned money, thinking that it was better to hide it.

"The slave maid also heard that her cousin was a person who mixed up on the street, and he was not a good person, but people said that they would rather tear down ten temples than break a marriage, thinking that maybe he had changed recently, and he really wanted to redeem forsythia. Forsythia married a young couple to live, it is better than being a maid, and he agreed to it when he relented. ”

Fang Yage felt that this mother-in-law Zhou should not be lying, this is a person who can't keep words, if you ask a sentence, she can reply to you ten sentences, and she talks a lot, only a few useful words, such a mother-in-law is the easiest to be used by.

"How many times did Forsythia's cousin ask you to bring news?" Fang Yage asked.

"When I returned to the county lord, I had two times, and after the first time I took the letter, I saw that Forsythia was restless for several days, thinking that it must be the master's unwillingness, and things were not going well, and Forsythia didn't reply to me for a long time. Then her cousin came and asked me to send a second letter, the one three days earlier. At this time, Mrs. Zhou couldn't take care of it, although it broke the rules to pass things to people, but it was better than losing her life. But she didn't know that her cousin was uneasy and kind-hearted at all, and Forsythia didn't know that the letter came from Mrs. Zhou, and she was still waiting for Forsythia's reply, what a confused person.

"Do you know what's written in this letter?" Fang Yage asked.

"How can a slave or maid have that blessing and still be able to read, and every time his letter is sealed, the slave and maid can't open it and read it."

Forsythia listened to Mrs. Zhou's words behind the floor cover, and her anger was almost cracking, but she didn't expect that it was her cousin who had been thinking about herself. Forsythia has always felt strange, she is not the only one with the maid next to the princess, when it comes to status, status and kinship, Bai Zhi and Banxia, as first-class girls and confidants of the county lord, are more suitable than her no matter how you look at them, why did they choose her?

But it turned out to be her cousin Feng Chao's ghost. Forsythia knew that although her father was a gambler, he had always been timid and would never befriend those fierce and evil people, and her father knew that it was a violation of the rules to secretly pass money out of the princess's mansion, and he would never dare to publicize the fact that she was on an errand in the princess's mansion and secretly paid him the gambling bills. Only her cousin Feng Chao is so familiar with her affairs, and only Feng Chao knows that once she mentions that her father owes money and is not detained, she will risk leaving the house regardless of making excuses. Feng Chao was so wolf-hearted, not only betrayed her, but also possibly killed her father, thinking of this, tears flowed.

The princess's mansion was established when Jin Rou got married, for convenience, the princess's mansion and the general's mansion were built together, the princess's mansion was on the west side, the general's mansion was on the east side, and there was only a small alley sealed between the two mansions, and the people of the two mansions walked back and forth from the corner gate. The princess's mansion has only been built for more than ten years, and most of the people who are serving now are selected by the Shaofu supervisor back then, most of them are official slaves who sold their bodies together with the whole family, and the eldest maids Bai Zhi and Banxia around Fang Yage are like this, the family lives in the backstreets of the princess's mansion, and there are guards and military patrols on weekdays, so it is difficult for outsiders to get in, so how can they find out the news? And the subordinates who have a little background also know that the master's affairs cannot be criticized or revealed.

Not to mention that Fang Yage is a titled county lord, how noble his identity is, he is the daughter of an ordinary minister, how can the news of their temperament, preferences, and personal maids be easy for outsiders to inquire about? You must know that people have two faces, once bad news comes out, it is likely to ruin a woman's reputation and even affect the marriage of a family of sisters.

Forsythia is also pitiful, she knows that her cousin Feng Chao is fooling around with a group of fox friends and dogs all day long, but helplessly the two of them are doll relatives since childhood, and Feng Chao has always been good to Forsythia and her father, so Forsythia wants to marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, and after two years, she begged Fang Yage to marry her to Feng Chao, and then find a serious livelihood for Feng Chao, and life will get better and better. How do you know that this Feng Chao is not satisfied, he bragged outside all day long that his cousin was serving the county lord, and he once said to those bastard friends, "The girls in the princess's mansion are all raised with brocade clothes and jade food, and they are much stronger than ordinary young ladies, and this one who serves the county lord is even more unusual. "Such a bastard, Forsythia is still thinking about it. It was because of this that Forsythia was found out by someone with a heart, and with only five hundred taels of silver, he betrayed Forsythia's father and daughter, and also helped to match the bridge.

……

Hearing that the question was almost over, Jin Rou ordered to take Mrs. Zhou down, and at the same time asked Zhou Wanshan, the steward of the outer courtyard, to follow Mrs. Zhou with a team of guards to find Mrs. Zhou's cousin. Looking back, there was a little girl kneeling on the ground, and she couldn't help but ask Mother Wu: "Who is this?" ”

Hearing Jin Rou ask, Mother Wu replied: "This little girl is Wu'er, and she was sent by the girl Bai Zhi next to the county lord." Mother Wu didn't dare to be greedy, so she understood her words clearly.

Jin Rou turned to her daughter with a puzzled face, Fang Yage smiled and said: "This morning, I went to the firewood room to interrogate Forsythia, I was afraid of startling the snake, so I asked Bai Zhi to lead people to guard the two small doors early, thinking that those who have ghosts in their hearts will definitely take the opportunity to go out, so let Bai Zhi and the others carefully check the people who came in and out this morning, and if there is anyone who goes out for no reason, they will bring their mother here for questioning, which is called waiting for the rabbit." After speaking, he shook his head proudly.

Hearing Fang Yage's words, Jin Rou felt that her daughter had really grown up, and she seemed to act impulsively, but it turned out to lead the snake out of the hole, and in addition to the love in the past, there was a little more praise in her eyes.

"What did she do again?" Seeing that it was a little girl, Jin Rou asked a little carelessly.

"Back to the eldest princess, the fifth son...... Is it involved with the general's mansion......"

This Wu'er was sold into the princess's mansion with Lao Tzu Niang, her mother is a grandmother in charge of kitchen utensils, her father is in the outer courtyard, responsible for feeding the horses grain and grass, and he is very honest. This girl is usually smart, but she is only eight years old this year, and she is too young, so Wu's mother arranged her in the back garden of the house and was responsible for watering the trees. I didn't expect this girl to be a little too clever, she actually learned to eat inside and out, and she was held by the girl in the county lord's room, one Zhou Po is not enough, plus a five, Mother Wu only feels that she has really lost face today. Therefore, as soon as Wu'er was sent to Wu's mother, she asked the little girl to choose, whether she was a real move, or pulled to the outer courtyard to be punished, and the eight-year-old little girl bluffed, naturally she said everything, but she didn't expect to involve the people of the General's Mansion.

"Oh, who is it?" Jin Rou rubbed her sideburns, if she expected it well, she must be inseparable from Min Fanghua's mother and daughter!
