When the sun is scorching, the ancient mansion closes its door. The ancient housekeeper summoned all the housekeepers, women and children to the open space in the front yard.

On the right, there are the two guards of Dulo, who rarely appear in front of people at the same time, and behind them are seven eagle guards standing with their hands down. On the left, there are the twelve guards led by Hu Si who are specially responsible for the guards in the palace.

There are also two middle-aged men, who are also listed. One is the steward assigned to Luo Xiaorong by Luofu, and the other is the steward sent by Chen Fufu to Chen Qiaojiang.

After the ancient housekeeper counted the number of people, Xiao Juan, who was waiting for the news in a low voice, said, "Go and report to Miss, everyone is here." ”

Xiaojuan turned to leave.

Suddenly, Qing Shu appeared in front of people holding Qingyang's hand with one hand and Hao's hand with the other. There were three chairs in the shadow under the eaves, and the three siblings sat on them.

Xiaoyu, Xiaojuan and Xiaoya stood behind Qingshu's chair with their heads down. Guan Mutou stood behind Qingyang. Chu Yi stood behind Hao.

The ancient steward led the crowd to salute.

Qing Shu said goodbye, and then looked at everyone present with an expressionless face.

After the etiquette was exhausted, the ancient butler turned to face everyone with a gloomy face. He doesn't like to laugh in normal Japan, and he is in a very bad mood at the moment, and he is extremely angry, and his eyes are like eating people. The people below were all panicking. Maizi, who was looking curiously, saw it, and was so frightened that she immediately hid behind her mother with tears in her eyes.

Steward Gu spoke, "Young Master Hao will get sick, someone has the audacity to make hands and feet in the water that Young Master Hao drinks, and put things that are not clean. "He didn't know about the poisoning yet, and Qing Shu told him that there were unclean things in the water. Naturally, he was convinced.

As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of gasping below. Who dares to put something unclean in the water of the little master, don't die?

The ancient housekeeper looked at the shocked looks of the people below, and said, "The reason why the young master is playing around the mansion is because the young lady trusts you and thinks that you can take good care of the young masters. The young masters drink the water you handed out with confidence, also out of trust in you. Someone is good, but he dares to take unclean water for Young Master Hao to drink, isn't he tired of it? ”

Qingyang puffed out his face, reached out, grabbed Hao's hand, and deliberately comforted Hao, who was uneasy.

Hao's illness is said to be completely cured, and Qingshu has been holding Hao away from the hospital, so he really doesn't know Hao's current condition if he is not close to his master. In this way, when the housekeeper suddenly said this, everyone was shocked and raised their eyes to look at Young Master Hao. After they saw that Young Master Hao had obviously lost weight, many people clearly wrote in their eyes that they couldn't believe it, and there was anger.

Steward Gu swept the people below one by one with a gloomy face, "On the day of Young Master Hao's illness, who brought tea and poured water for Young Master Hao, and stood up by himself." ”

At this time, someone on the man's side knelt down directly, kowtowing and saying anxiously, "The slave didn't give the young master unclean water." The slave swore that he didn't give the young master unclean water, and the young lady spared his life, and the young lady spared his life. ”

Steward Gu was taken aback, "Cai Tieniu, why are you?" ”

Cai Tieniu was still kowtowing, "Miss spare your life, Miss spare your life, the slave didn't give the young master unclean water......

Qing Shu swept over everyone standing below with an indifferent face, and saw everyone's expressions at the moment, and then said, "Come forward and speak." ”

Cai Tieniu was stunned, and the action of kowtowing paused. Did the young lady ask him to come forward and speak? He looked at the ancient butler uncertainly.

Steward Gu met his gaze suspiciously, "Isn't it deaf, why don't you come forward?" ”

Cai Tieniu crawled away from where the family was standing and knelt at the feet of the ancient butler. This position is about three meters away from where the three masters sit.

Qing Shu looked down at him, "When and where did you bring water to the young master to drink?" ”

Cai Tieniu replied tremblingly, "Before the afternoon of the day when Young Master Hao fell ill, it was probably at the end of the hour and the beginning of the hour, when the four young masters were playing in the front yard. ”

Qing Shu's face made people unable to see joy and anger, "Say it carefully." ”

Cai Tieniu was sweating nervously, but he didn't dare to wipe it, and said a little incoherently, "That's it, it's the young masters who untied the rope of Rhubarb and threw the wooden pieces out for Rhubarb to pick back." Young Master Chen and Young Master Hao suddenly said that they were thirsty, but they were so happy to play again that they didn't want to go back to drink water. The minions heard it and ran to fetch the kettle and teacups for the young masters to drink. Yes, yes, there were no scholars, there were no scholars at that time. It was the young master who drank it first, and drank half a cup. Young Master Chen took a drink, and then Young Master Hao took a drink. Yes, Steward Ding saw it, and when the servant took away the kettle and teacup, Steward Ding happened to come back from outside. ”

Qing Shu looked at Qingyang and Hao, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Hao just nodded and didn't speak.

Qingyang replied, "Sister, this is indeed the case. ”

Qing Shu bowed his head, and asked Cai Tieniu below, "Does the young master share a teacup, or do you use each teacup?" ”

This question made Cai Tieniu breathe a sigh of relief. Because the young masters drank the same pot of water that day, and they shared a teacup. If there is really a problem with the water, there is no reason for Young Master Hao to make trouble alone, and Young Master and Young Master Chen will be fine. Now he replied with confidence, "Miss Hui, the young masters drink water from a cup." "If it were someone else, except for water, he would have to carry four empty cups back. But he is different from others, he is a one-armed man.

Qing Shu stopped talking, but his brows furrowed.

The ancient housekeeper felt that the young lady was not satisfied with Cai Tieniu's expression, so after a little thought, he understood, "Let me ask you, where did the water and teacup come from?" Who saw it? Are there other people present when you are serving the young masters to drink water? Has anyone but you ever touched a kettle or a teacup? ”

Cai Tieniu realized that because he was too nervous and scared, he ignored some details and did not tell the whole truth. It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, if it weren't for the housekeeper's reminder, he would have really been finished. "The young masters drank water, and the slaves didn't dare to be sloppy, so they deliberately went to the young master's courtyard to find Guan Shutong to get it. At that time, Guan Shutong was flipping through the bookshelf, saying that the young master wanted him to find an article, but the slave didn't remember it. When the slave heard this, he felt that what Guan Shutong was doing was also an important matter, so the slave took the errand of delivering water to the young masters. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at the steward of the Chen Mansion and continued, "On the way, the servant met Chen Qi in Young Master Chen's courtyard. Chen Qi was about to leave the house, so he went to the front with the minions. The slave wanted to pour water for the young master, Chen Qi said that he would pour it, and snatched the kettle over. The slave didn't think much about it, he held the teacup and asked him to pour water, and the slave gave the water to the young master one by one. ”

The face of the steward of the Chen Mansion changed at that time. Even if there is no place for him to speak here, but the stakes are serious, where can he take care of so much, "Is this true?" Do you dare to swear to God? ”

Cai Tieniu naturally dared, "Naturally, he dares." Chen Qi poured water, the young masters all saw it, and Young Master Chen was also present. ”

It's a bad thing, something big is wrong. Steward Chen warned himself not to mess up, and stabilized his feelings, and lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes to face Qing Shu, "Miss Hui, this matter is big." Since Chen Qi was present, Xiao naturally wanted to detain Chen Qi to interrogate. It's just unfortunate that three days ago, Chen Qi said that he was going back to visit the sick old lady, and he took leave and returned to Jinyang City, and he would come back the day after tomorrow. ”

Qing Shu stared at him with a solemn expression, "Trouble Steward Chen to do everything he can to get people back." Whether Chen Qi is involved or not, you can find out as soon as you ask. If he is innocent, then it will be good. If he is really involved, and he really does something in the water that Brother Hao drinks, I hope that Steward Chen can give an explanation when the time comes. ”

Steward Chen's heart was messy, but his face was not obvious, "What Miss said is true." If Chen Qi really did such an evil thing, he didn't need the young lady to speak, and the little one would be killed with a cane or sent to the official without saying a word. ”

"Steward Gu, the next thing, you look at the arrangement." Qing Shu said goodbye, got up and left. Qingyang and Hao saw it and immediately followed.

Everyone sent off the three masters, and when the figures of the three masters disappeared, they stood up straight.

Steward Gu spoke, "Come on, take Cai Tieniu down and lock him up." No one is allowed to contact him until the matter has been clarified. Whoever dares to disobey the order will be killed directly. ”

Everyone said yes.

"And you, if it is found out that you are lying, and someone does not stand up like Cai Tieniu and admit that he drank water for the young masters, he will be killed." Steward Gu put down his cruel words, and after sweeping everyone's expressions one by one, "Take care of your mouth, if anyone dares to reveal the slightest bit of news, they will not be spared." Then he waved his hand, "Disperse." Then he said, "Guan Mu, steward Ding, you stay." He had to take these two people back for questioning.

At this time, Steward Chen came over, "Butler, I will explain some things to the butler later, I have to send someone back to the house to deliver the letter at this time, and I can escort Chen Qi back quickly." ”

Steward Gu's face eased a little, "Steward Chen, please." ”

Steward Chen is now anxious to burn his eyebrows, where can he take care of anything else, let alone be rude or not, so he hurried back to the hospital to make arrangements.

The Luo Steward of Luofu was also shocked into a cold sweat. He was glad in his heart, fortunately, the people sent by their Luo Mansion did not make any mistakes.

Let's talk about Qingshu them.

Back in the courtyard where he lived, Qingyang couldn't help but ask, "Sister, we drink the same pot of water and use the same teacup, why does Qinghao have a stomachache while we are fine?" Xiao Rong didn't drink water, but Brother Qiao Jiang and I did. ”

Qing Shu looked at Hao, who also wanted to know the answer, and explained, "It has nothing to do with whether you use the same kettle or the same teacup. If Cai Tieniu or Chen Qi has the intention of harming others, they can carry it to hide harmful things on their bodies, such as in their sleeves. ”

Qingyang and Hao listened, and their eyes widened.

"When they pour water on you, they can do whatever they want to harm while they are not looking, and they can do it in the cup of water they give to them. Especially the water that Hao drank last, so that it is more convenient to do his hands and feet, and he is not afraid of harming others. If the victim is Chen Qi, he can use his hands and feet in the kettle before pouring the last glass of water. If the victim is Cai Tieniu, he can do things in the teacup. ”

Qingyang puffed out his little face angrily, "It's too bad." Then he asked, "Does your stomach still hurt?" ”

Hao blinked his eyes, "Brother Xiaoyang, it doesn't hurt anymore." "When he first arrived in Gufu, he was the elder brother, and Qingyang was the younger brother. Qingyang often calls him brother and brother. Slowly, he became familiar with this place, and he became closer and closer to Qingyang. And Qingyang is bolder than him, taller than him, and will take care of him, he thinks Qingyang is his brother. Later, my sister said that he would be a younger brother in the future, and Qingyang would be the elder brother. He was so happy.

"It doesn't hurt." Qingyang, the elder brother, has a great sense of accomplishment. At first, when his sister asked the two of them to change their titles, he was very unaccustomed to it, and from time to time he would still call Brother Cheng Hao. Ke Hao adapted quickly, although he didn't call him brother, he accepted it a long time ago, and regarded himself as a younger brother, and accepted his care with peace of mind. Especially in the past few days, Hao has begun to call him Brother Xiaoyang, and he is still shouting very happy.

Qing Shu saw that they were getting along better and better, and his heart was half happy and half sad. Happily, the brothers have a good relationship and can support each other in the future. The worry is that if she can't keep Hao, how sad Qingyang will be.

Not long after, Chen Qiaojiang and Luo Xiaorong, who were separated by Qingshu in advance, came back.

Chen Qiaojiang looked very angry. He sat down angrily, immediately stood up again, spun around the ground a few times, and suddenly came over and patted Hao on the shoulder, "Don't worry, if it was really Chen Qi who did it, my brother will definitely avenge you." ”

Qing Shu glanced at Chen Qiaojiang's scholar, and thought to himself: Which big mouth said that he showed his mouth? actually let Chen Qiaojiang know about it. If one is not good, it will affect the feelings of their four brothers. She didn't want this kind of thing to happen, so she deliberately sent Chen Qiaojiang and Luo Xiaorong to Mr. Lu's side.

A quarter of an hour later, Qing Shu found out the big mouth. She frowned, if this big mouth was from their ancient mansion, she would definitely not be able to spare it. But the person belongs to the Chen Mansion, and it was the maid of the Chen Mansion who felt that Chen Qi had been wronged, so she complained to Chen Qiaojiang, the master, and only then did she reveal what Chen Qiaojiang should not know. Chen Qiaojiang knew, and Luo Xiaorong naturally knew. Therefore, the two of them said goodbye to Mr. Lu.

Qing Shu thought for a moment, and then whispered to Xiao Yu, "Just find any reason, you go to the housekeeper's lady of the Chen Mansion to sit down, and after chatting, you reveal two pieces of information to the housekeeper's lady." One is that no matter whether Chen Qi made a mistake or not, the relationship between the four young masters is still close, and no one wants to sow discord. The other is that you said that you were very worried, worried that Young Master Chen would punish Chen Qi without asking for a reason. At that moment, the lady in charge will track down which one dares to chew on the little master's tongue. The next thing is not something that Qing Shu can ask.

It was dark, and Qing Shu personally stared at the four who were playing and lay down to sleep, and then came out to see Luo San.

Luo San didn't understand, "Miss, Chen Qi has been killed, so we will continue to investigate it secretly." It's just that your actions today have put Chen Qi's matter on the bright side, isn't this a surprise? "The enemy knows that they have found Chen Qi's head, so they will carefully hide themselves, which will be greatly detrimental to their continued investigation of this matter.

Qing Shu stood in the shadows, and no one could see the look on his face, even Luo San. She said lightly and casually, "I just want to startle the snake." ”
