101. Chapter 102
"Tell me who did it? If you can't say anything, today you will all deal with it according to the family law! ”
"This, the slave really doesn't know what to do!"
Liu sneered, "I don't know what to do? I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, do you know if you are rewarded with 300 boards! ”
A little girl was so frightened that she cried, and kept kowtowing and begging, "Madame spare her life, if the three hundred boards are beaten, the slaves and maids will die!" The slave really doesn't know what to do! ”
"Humph! The kitchen is heavy, and the idlers are not allowed to enter, why do you not know what to do when someone drugs the food? Dereliction of duty, tell me what is the crime? ”
A chubby cook said, "Madam, the slave suddenly remembered a person, she was the only one who had been to the kitchen in the morning!" ”
"Say!"
The cook hesitated for a moment, "Yes, it's Xin'er next to Mrs. Nianqing." She went to the kitchen this morning to make a pot of chicken soup for Mrs. Nianqing! ”
Liu's face was as cold as frost, and there was a chill in his voice, "Caiyun, go and call Nianqing and Xin'er!" ”
After a while, Nianqing came to the hall with Xin'er's support, she respectfully saluted the elders, and when she arrived in front of Liu's family, Liu's face was expressionless and said, "Nianqing, did you let Xin'er go to the kitchen today?" ”
Nianqing also heard that Yunluo's sweet soup was drugged and almost miscarried, and when she saw that Liu's question must be related, she replied carefully, "It's true, the concubine suddenly wanted to drink chicken soup in the morning, so she sent Xin'er to the kitchen to ask for it." ”
"Xin'er, then did you obey the master's instructions and go to the kitchen to prepare chicken soup for her?"
Xin'er shrewdly discovered the mystery in Liu's words, and hurriedly defended, "Madam, my young lady told me to let the kitchen prepare a chicken soup, but the cooks ignored my young lady's orders, so the slave maid had to do it herself!" ”
"Did any outsiders come during the time you were in the kitchen?"
"Nope!"
Liu suddenly shouted, "Xin'er, you still don't admit it?" You are the one who drugged the sweet soup of the young grandmother! The cooks all said that you are the only one who has been to the kitchen, and you yourself admit that no one else has been to the kitchen, so it is not them who have drugged it, it must be you! ”
Nianqing was shocked and hurriedly said, "Mother, Xin'er is not that kind of person, she will not deliberately hurt the young grandmother!" ”
The fat cook and the girls insisted that Xin'er had done it, and described how suspicious she was at that time.
Ye Xiyan sneered in his heart, probably because they were afraid of taking responsibility, so they pulled the innocent Xin'er as a substitute for the dead ghost!
Xin'er naturally wouldn't admit it, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, at this time, a little girl who had just served Nianqing for more than a month suddenly fell to her knees on the ground, and said guiltily, "Madam, in fact, the slave maid found a packet of white medicine powder in Xin'er's room yesterday, and she left a little bit of curiosity at that time!" As he spoke, he took out a small paper bag from his sleeve and handed it to her.
As a result, Mr. Ji identified that this white powder was the kind placed in Yunluo's sweet soup, which was a very effective abortion pill, if Yunluo's condition was not discovered in time, the child would definitely not be saved!
Liu Shi was scared when he thought about it, and asked more harshly, "Xin'er, why did you put abortion pills to harm the young grandmother?" Was it instigated? ”
Human and material evidence, ironclad evidence, this time the incident was definitely carefully planned by others, waiting for them to fall into the trap, but I didn't expect that the young lady's side had already been planted with eyes and ears.
Xin'er knew that she couldn't escape, and in the face of Liu's straightforward suspicions, she wanted to do her best to protect Miss, she suddenly raised her head and sneered, "No one instructed me, I did all this, I deliberately cooked, just to drug the young grandmother!" ”
"You and your grandmother had no grudges in the past, and there was no enmity in the near future, why did you do this? If you tell me what you are behind the scenes, I will spare you! ”
Xin'er tilted her head firmly, "Madam, what Xin'er said is the truth, and no one instructed her!" Since the young grandmother became pregnant, everyone revolved around her, and no one cared about our young lady, Xin'er really couldn't stand it, so she wanted to take this opportunity to warn the young grandmother! Xin'er knows that she is guilty and is willing to accept any punishment! ”
Liu sneered, "What a loyal girl! I'll fulfill you, come on, drag Xin'er out of the city to blame a hundred boards, and then throw it out of the house! ”
As soon as the words fell, two burly housekeepers came to Xin'er and wanted to pull her out.
Nian Qing suddenly rushed out and stopped the two family members, "Mother, no!" ”
"Why not? She deserves it! Liu glanced at her and waved his hand coldly, "Drag her down!" ”
Nianqing knew that she had been calculated, and Xin'er had to bear the charge in order to protect herself, but she was punished with a hundred rods, Xin'er was a weak woman, if she endured such a heavy punishment, she would definitely not die! She can't just watch Xin'er go to her death!
Finally, Nianqing closed her eyes in pain, and when she opened them again, her face was already calm, "It's me, it's me who ordered Xin'er to take the medicine, because I'm jealous that my sister is favored by everyone, and I'm also pregnant with my father-in-law's child, but no one cares." ”
Xin'er hurriedly shouted, "No, madam, I did all this, and it has nothing to do with my young lady!" ”
Nianqing held her hand tightly and smiled slightly, "Xin'er, forget it." ”
She decided to enter the Shen Mansion in order to give her children a better future, but since the last peach pit incident, she had suspected that she was not suitable for here, and today, she finally determined her thoughts. What's more, Qingshu and Yunluo already have a sweet life, so why don't she quit and fulfill them? No matter what happens next, she is mentally prepared.
The corners of Liu's lips hooked sarcastically, and said coldly, "You finally admit it!" Glancing at the two big men, they immediately let go of Xin'er, who was struggling desperately.
After a moment of silence, she got up and announced to everyone, "Nian Qing is jealous, and she is drugged to harm the young grandmother, from this moment on, she is no longer a member of my Shen family!" ”
At that time, Shen Qingshu was not in the mansion, so except for Ye Xiyan, no one pleaded for Nianqing.
Ye Xiyan stood up and said, "Mother-in-law, there are still doubts about Xin'er's drugging, if you convict just a few words from the cook and the little girl, it seems too far-fetched!" ”
Liu Shi glanced at her coldly, "There are all human and material evidence, what else is far-fetched or not!" ”
Ye Xiyan's face changed slightly, and he said loudly, "Mother-in-law, Nianqing is still pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Shen family, please look at the child's face and take back what you just said!" ”
Liu slammed the table and said sharply, "Sit down, there's no place for you to talk here!" ”
Ye Xiyan was angry in her heart, but there was nothing she could do, she suddenly understood, her mother-in-law had long seen Nianqing unpleasantly, and it was for the sake of the Shen family's flesh and blood that she reluctantly agreed to enter the door, and now that Yunluo also has a child, and there is such a wonderful opportunity to sweep her out, she will definitely not stop.
Knowing this truth, Ye Xiyan felt a chill in her heart, and looked at Nian Qing with sympathy and helplessness, only to see that she accepted this ending with a calm face, as if she had expected it a long time ago.
Although Shen Qingshu did not believe that Qing would do such a thing, and resolutely disagreed with the Liu family's approach, he had no way to compete with the entire Shen family, nor did he have a way to disobey the emperor's order, because this matter had reached the emperor's ears, and the emperor ordered Shen Qingshu to leave Nianqing with a letter of resignation.
One end is Yun Luo lying on the hospital bed, and the other is the beloved Nian Qing, Shen Qingshu is in a dilemma, but the Liu family will not give him enough time to embarrass him, and the next day, while he is not at home, the Liu family drove Nian Qing out of the Shen family.
Shen Qingshu returned to the mansion to learn about this, and went crazy to look around for Nian Qing, who was pregnant with Liujia and had no support, the Qing/Lou where she had stayed before, the small courtyard where she lived later, and even all the inns in the city, but there was no clue, she was like two years ago, and the world evaporated.
Nianqing's departure deeply hit Shen Qingshu, starting from the third day, he gave up looking in the imperial capital, and sat in the small courtyard in the south of the city where he used to live with Nianqing from morning to night, he knew that Nianqing was unhappy in Shen's mansion, and the happiest time was the days when he stayed in the small courtyard, so he chose to stay alone in the courtyard and recall the beautiful past of the two.
The Shen Mansion sent people to pick him up several times, but he drove him away, and the Liu family also went twice, but he ignored them.
Yun Luo would visit him every day, bring him some food or clothing, and each time he would put down his things, look at his depressed back for a while, and then leave quietly.
Ye Xiyan went to see him once, when he was sitting against the stone pillar in despair, the ground was full of wine bottles, full of alcohol, and his beard was unshaven, and the whole image was an obscene drunkard. She wanted to tell him Nianqing's whereabouts, but when she thought that he couldn't give Nianqing a stable life at the moment, she knew that it would make more people miserable, so she turned her head and left.
After ten days like this, Master Shen finally went crazy. He broke into the small courtyard with a few family members, tied up Shen Qingshu with five flowers, the whole process, Shen Qingshu didn't say a word, when he was twisted back to the house, he saw Yun Luo's red and swollen eyes, standing at the gate of the courtyard at a loss waiting for him, and a trace of guilt finally slipped through his stagnant eyes.
When night fell, Ye Xiyan didn't know that the darkness that came with the road, as well as ugliness and conspiracy.
Because of the hot weather and her thoughts, she looked at the stars outside the window and couldn't fall asleep over and over. Later, he simply got up, put on his coat and walked around the courtyard.
The insects sang happily in the grass, the night breeze mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus slowly came, Ye Xiyan tilted his head slightly, closed his eyes and enjoyed this peaceful moment.
Suddenly, the sound of small footsteps reached her ears.
She quickly hid behind the rockery, and half a minute later, a woman hurriedly walked past the rockery, Ye Xiyan didn't want to be nosy, but she suddenly found that the woman's back was a little familiar, and her curiosity swelled for a while, so she raised her legs and followed her.
If Ye Xiyan knew that she had caused so many things on the spur of the moment, she would not have done so if she had ten dares, but unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in this world.
