Zhang's mother hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up and presented it to King Ji'an.

This is a beautiful flower note, hand-painted with colored ink lotus, and the precautions for preparing the filling of soft-shelled turtle soup are written in small hairpin flower letters.

King Ji'an swept his eyes a few times, and then threw it in front of Jian Ying with a gloomy face, "You say, what's going on?" ”

Jian Ying calmly picked it up and looked at it carefully from beginning to end, "This is indeed her daughter-in-law's handwriting."

The daughter-in-law's grandmother was very particular about eating, and when the daughter-in-law saw or heard a fresh recipe while reading a book or chatting with others, she immediately copied it and told the kitchen to do it, honoring her grandmother.

With such flowers, the daughter-in-law has dozens or hundreds of them.

After the daughter-in-law married into the palace, most of the things she had used before were stored in the zài treasury with the dowry, and she never took them out. It's not impossible for the girls to be careless, and one or two were stolen by that sneaky person and used to frame them......"

"Wronged." Before she finished speaking, the mother-in-law rushed to speak, "Lord, the villain is wronged."

The villain has been doing his duty honestly in the big kitchen, and he has never stepped into the blue courtyard, and he doesn't know that the second young lady has such a recipe, let alone where this recipe is stored and how to steal it?

This is indeed handed over to the villain by the second young lady herself, please let the prince know. ”

"When the second daughter-in-law handed you this recipe, did anyone see it?"

"No, the second young lady was handed over to the villain behind the back of others."

The king of Ji'an knew that this kind of thing was justified by the public saying that the mother was reasonable, and no matter how he tried it, he couldn't understand it. In addition, he decided that there was something strange here, so he didn't dwell on this matter, and instead asked: "When you came to deliver the dumpling filling, which one picked it up?" ”

"It's the big girl next to the second young lady, called Jinping and Yinping." The woman hurriedly replied.

The king of Ji'an immediately ordered the two girls to be brought over.

The golden screen and the silver screen were just outside the door, and they entered the door in a few moments, both kneeling behind Jian Ying. When King Ji'an asked, they replied.

"You took the dumpling filling for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?"

"Yes."

"Can someone tell you that there are two kinds of fillings, one of which is made with soft-shelled turtle soup?"

"No, at that time, the slave maid saw that the dumpling filling was contained in two large basins and a small basin, and asked, but the people in the big kitchen did not say anything. Sister Lizhu was also there at the time, and Sister Lizhu must have heard it. ”

When the king of Ji'an heard this, he called out to Lianzhu, "Did you hear what they said?" ”

"The slave and maid were facing each other, several paces away, and it was a very strong wind, and I didn't hear what they said." Although Lianzhu believed Jian Ying and wanted to help her, she didn't dare to lie.

After a long time of trial, the public still said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the king of Ji'an was in trouble, and the mother-in-law remembered one thing again, "By the way, the second young lady also gave the villain a bag of things and instructed the villain to add it to the dumpling filling." ”

"What's that?" King Ji'an hurriedly asked.

It is true that the soft-shelled turtle is a cold thing, but with the star used to adjust the filling, I am afraid that it will not be able to make Fang's red. Presumably, it was the pack that really worked.

The villain didn't know, the second young lady said that it was the secret seasoning of the Jian family's ancestors, and she refused to tell the villain what was in it. The second young lady is known as a virtuous person, and she has always been generous to others, and the villain didn't think much about it, so she used it as instructed. ”

"Is there any seasoning left?"

"It's just a small packet, and it's all mixed in the dumpling filling."

King Ji'an looked at Jian Ying again, "But is there such a thing?" ”

"Back to my father, my daughter-in-law doesn't know what ancestral secret seasonings the Jian family has, and she hasn't given anyone such a thing." Jian Ying replied without changing her face.

King Ji'an pondered for a long time, and then asked Zhang's mother, "Is there any leftover dumplings you ate tonight?" ”

"As soon as the table was withdrawn, the food was distributed to the people, but I was afraid that there would be no left." Zhang's mother replied.

King Ji'an's eyebrows furrowed, both sides insisted on their own words, and even the evidence entered their stomachs, how should this case be tried?

"Father." Meng Xinniang suddenly spoke, "If it is really the secret seasoning of the Jian family's ancestors, there must be more than that small bag stored by the second brother and sister."

Father might as well send someone to search for it, if it is found, the truth will be revealed; If you can't find it, you can also give your second brother and sister a clean slate, right? ”

"No search." Zhou Shu stepped into the door, glanced at Meng Xinniang coldly, then turned to King Ji'an, and arched his hand, "Father, this is obviously someone who bought off the big kitchen and set a trap in vain to frame the lady's trick.

Please give this mother-in-law to your son, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he will be able to let her tell the truth. ”

"Second brother, is this going to be beaten?" Meng Xinniang picked up the conversation, "You have a deep relationship with your second brother and sister, so you will naturally be towards your second brother and sister." If you hand over people to you, I am afraid that before the truth is judged, it will become dead without proof.

If the second brother and sister were really framed, why should they be afraid of searching? The second brother intervenes like this, which will only make people feel that they are a thief. ”

Zhou Shu sneered, "I don't know if anyone thinks I'm a thief, but my sister-in-law jumps up and down, fanning the flames, this look of being afraid that the world will not be chaotic, I believe everyone here can see it very clearly." ”

Meng Xinniang's face changed color, and she was about to sneer at each other, when she saw Zhou Han and Xiao Zheng coming in later, so she had to stop angrily.

"Oh, what's going on?" Xiao Zheng pretended to be shocked and shouted, "How can you make the atmosphere so strict during the Chinese New Year?" ”

King Ji'an hurriedly stood up, "Something happened at home, which made the prince smile." ”

He also instructed Zhou Shudao, "Second brother, you accompany the prince to go back to rest, don't let such chores disturb the mood of the prince." ”

The implication is that this is a family affair of our old Zhou family, so don't mix it with your surname Xiao.

"No, no, no, no." Xiao Zheng waved his hand, "I've been a brother with Pillow Stone for many years, and his business is my business."

And I'm just bored, so it's good to listen to it next to me to relieve my boredom. I've seen a lot of this kind of conspiracy in the back house, and maybe I can give the prince a staff and an idea. ”

After speaking, he lifted the hem of his robe and sat down with a big slump.

King Ji'an's already not very good-looking face quietly darkened by two points, and it was not good to pull down his face to drive people away, so he forced himself to laugh and said: "If the prince is interested, let's listen to it, but don't pollute the ears of the prince." ”

After dealing with Xiao Zheng, he sank his face again, "Second daughter-in-law, what else do you have to say?" ”

"The daughter-in-law has nothing to say." Jian Ying said unhurriedly, "Since sister-in-law thinks that you can find out the truth by searching, let's search it." ”

"Lady." Zhou Shu was a little anxious, since that person dared to frame her in a grand manner, he must have made a thorough deployment, and this search would definitely find something inappropriate.

Jian Ying raised her head and winked at him, "Husband, I sit upright and am not afraid of being framed by others." Just ask my father to search it, how can I return my innocence if I don't search? ”
