Knowing that everything is developing in an unfavorable direction, but there is nothing to stop it, he can only watch the situation develop step by step.

Li Zhong and his apprentice came quickly, and when he learned that there was saffron in the almond tea he had brewed, he was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he collapsed on the ground and kowtowed again and again, shouting the word "wronged" again and again, and his forehead was also bruised and swollen.

Yin Zhen didn't say a word, just stared at him, and saw that his expression really didn't look like a hypocrisy, so he said coldly: "Who else besides you has ever been to the kitchen, or touched almond tea?" ”

After Li Zhong thought about it carefully, he hesitated and said: "I don't know if the slave counts, but when the kitchen prepared almond tea and carried the dragon and phoenix copper pot, I met Ling Fujin and saw Ling Fujin. ”

Ling Ruo? Yin Zhen was suddenly startled, and subconsciously looked at Ling Ruo, how could he not have imagined that this matter would be related to her, could it be her? For some reason, when I thought of this possibility, Yinzhen felt depressed.

What is going to come will always come, and you can't hide from it.

Ling Ruo sighed in his heart, met Yin Zhen's suspicious gaze, stepped forward and said truthfully: "Yes, the concubine has indeed been to the kitchen and met Li Zhong. ”

"Why are you doing that?" In an uproar, Yinzhen walked in front of Ling Ruo, every step he took was very heavy, his eyes always stayed on Ling Ruo's calm face, and there was unspeakable regret in his eyes.

"The concubine has only seen Li Zhong in Yulu, but she has never touched anything, if Lord Belle doesn't believe it, you can ask Li Zhong if what the concubine said is false." She said that she tried not to show her flustered, and this was also confirmed by Li Zhong, but Nian still scoffed at this, and bluntly said that if she really had no ghosts in her heart, why did she go to the kitchen in the middle of the play?

"yes, where did my sister go, but tell me quickly." Seeing that Ling Ruo had not explained for a long time, the Nala clan couldn't help but feel anxious, and urged again and again, fearing that Yin Zhen would condemn her in anger. Although Yin Zhen didn't say anything, there was also an inquiring hint in his eyes.

Ling Ruo knew that she couldn't prevaricate about this matter, so she had to take Yilan out of the house and didn't return for a long time, so she couldn't rest assured and went out to look for it, but she didn't say a word about someone deliberately leading her to the kitchen, this matter was empty, no one believed it at all, and even said that she was trying to get rid of suspicion and fabricated it indiscriminately. only deduced that he found that the hairpin on his head was missing on the way to search, and he couldn't find it everywhere, and asked Li Wei and said that he didn't see the hairpin when he was watching the play, but she didn't bring it out. She wondered if she had fallen on the way to Qingyin Pavilion, so she went back along the road to look for it, and happened to meet Li Zhong when she passed by the kitchen.

"It's just a hairpin, do you need to be so nervous?" Nian scoffed at her words.

Ling Ruo bowed his head and was silent, but Yin Zhen remembered something and blurted out, "But that Qibao exquisite hairpin?" He remembered that when he gave the hairpin to Ling Ruo, she couldn't put it down, and she liked it very much.

Ling Ruo raised his head unexpectedly, and joy appeared in his eyes, as if the sky was as brilliant as a brocade, "Baylor still remember?!" The hairpin was given by Lord Belle, and the concubine should be cherished, who would have thought that it would not be lost, and the concubine was really shameless to face Lord Le. ”

"That's it, it's just an accident, there's no need to blame yourself, besides, as Su Yan said, it's just a hairpin, if you really can't find it, I'll find someone to make an identical one for you."

Nian's didn't believe it, why are there so many coincidences in the world, most of them are deliberately done by people, and he questioned at the moment: "You said that Yilan has not returned for a long time, what is the reason?" ”

Ling Ruo was stunned for a moment and didn't reply in time, and when the Nala clan saw this, he hurriedly spoke up to relieve her, "The mansion is so big, Yilan has only been here twice, maybe she got lost." ”

Nian said coldly: "The right talent Ling Fujin personally said that it was Moyu who went together, could it be that Moyu also got lost?" ”

This sentence made Nala Clan dumbfounded for a while, this really didn't make sense, although she intended to speak for Ling Ruo, but in the case of not knowing what happened, she was inevitably powerless, and looked at Ling Ruo and said, "What was the situation at that time, my sister might as well say it directly." ”

"Yes." Ling Ruo owed a debt to tell the truth about what Yilan and Moyu encountered halfway, and when they heard the words of ghosts and gods, everyone couldn't help but talk about it, and most of them didn't believe in her statement, even Yinzhen also showed a strange look, after all, the words of ghosts and gods were too absurd and unconvincing, which was also the reason why Ling Ruo was reluctant to say it before.

When she finished speaking, Nian Shi already looked sneering and disdainful, "Didn't Ling Fujin treat us as three-year-old children, and actually told such a clumsy lie, do you think anyone will believe it?" ”

"The master is not lying." Mo Yu rushed forward and said: "When the slave maid came back with Miss Yilan, she was indeed frightened and fainted because she saw the ghost, and when she woke up again, she found that she was somewhere else, and the slave maid could swear that everything she said was true, and if it was false, it would be thundered by the sky!" ”

"You are her girl, so naturally help her speak, apart from you and Ling Fujin's sister, can anyone prove this?" Nian scoffed at her words, and didn't believe it at all, and Yinzhen was also half-convinced.

Ling Ruo thought for a moment and stared at Yu Yinzhen and said, "Although there are no direct witnesses, when Yilan and the others came back to talk to the concubine about this matter, Yun Fujin was beside her, and she can prove that the concubine is not lying." "Yun Fujin is the Guarjia clan, because her maiden name is Yun Yue, so the house calls her Yun Fujin.

Seeing Yinzhen looking over, Guerjia hurriedly walked to Yinzhen and bowed, Yinzhen waved her hand impatiently to signal her to get up, "You also heard what Ling Fujin said, is what she said true or false?" ”

"Back to Lord Belle's words, the concubine is ......" The Guerjia clan looked at Ling Ruo, a faint cold light and a faint smile flashed in her slender eyes, before Ling Ruo had time to think about the information contained in this smile, the Guerjia clan had already said something that made her feel cold, "The concubine has never heard Ling Fujin's sister mention anything about ghosts and gods, she did go out with Moyu, but she came back soon, and she didn't return for a long time like Ling Fujin. ”

I thought it was a life-saving medicine, but who wanted to come to an end but suddenly became a deadly poison, Ling Ruo's face lost blood, and her body was shaky, Guerjia was the closest person to her, and now she said this, it was tantamount to sentencing herself to death, with her words, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she couldn't tell. It's just that after searching all the memories, I can't remember anything about her offending the Guerga clan, why did she slander her in public like this, intending to put herself to death?!

"You're lying!" After Mo Yu was stunned, he pointed at the Guerjia clan and shouted excitedly, "We obviously said it, you heard it, and even asked us to go to the temple to ask for a few talismans, why do you want to reverse black and white now and frame our master?!" ”

Guerjia touched his chest with his hand and said very sadly: "I also want to hope that Sister Ling is innocent, but if I violate my conscience and lie to cover up my suspicion for Sister Ling, I really can't do it." ”

I have to say that Guerjia's acting skills are very clever, if it weren't for Ling Ruo herself as the person concerned, I am afraid that she would be fooled. Looking back now, when she was watching the play, Gualjia was afraid that she was talking to herself on purpose, in order to stab her when she was defenseless.

Now, Ling Ruo calmed down, his mind was racing, and his thoughts gradually became clearer; From Yilan's departure to her being led to the kitchen, to Ye Xiu's accident with the Guerjia clan's backlash, all this is clearly a deliberate game. It's just that it's too late to understand now, and the arranger is careful and cautious, and she can't find any flaws at all.
