Chapter 327: Qiu Ling's Revenge
Mrs. Wu cried and said that the cup of poisonous tea was poured by Xiao Jinxuan for the old lady.
Therefore, it would be more than Bai Dongyang, the Duke of Huaguo, who looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a cold and resentful expression.
Even the ladies and ladies of all the mansions who were watching around looked at Xiao Jinxuan inquiringly, and they would whisper a few words from time to time.
And seeing that Xiao Jinxuan suddenly became the person most suspected of poisoning, although Shen Wenqing was also shocked because of the death of the old lady.
But she and Xiao Jinxuan have known each other for a long time, and she still knows what the other party's heart is.
Coupled with the strange behavior of Sun Xiru, a suitable talent, these made Shen Wenqing firmly believe that the person who poisoned him would never be Xiao Jinxuan.
Although the Shen family is not one of the four major families, Shen Wenqing's grandfather is the official residence of the six chief scholars, and he is the same as the deputy minister.
And she herself is still the princess supreme, so this Bai family, she doesn't have much fear in her heart.
Taking a step forward, Shen Wenqing looked at Bai Dongyang with a displeased expression, and then said calmly:
"Hua Guogong, Jinxuan is the righteous daughter of the king of Yongchang, the county lord of Zhaoyang of the Great Zhou, what are you doing with such a fierce look on her now, even if this tea is poured by the county lord to the old lady, but the person who makes the tea must be a descendant of your Bai family, so what is the truth of this poisoning matter, it is not easy to make a conclusion now."
As soon as Shen Wenqing's words fell, Princess Cheng'an, who owed Xiao Jinxuan for saving her life because of poisonous pastries, immediately spoke:
"Princess Zhaoyang only came as a guest today, and in full view of everyone, she has no chance of being poisoned. Therefore, the problem should still lie with the person who makes the tea. Before the matter of Grandpa Guo is investigated, this matter must not be asserted, otherwise if Brother Yongchang knows, he will definitely blame my sister for failing to take care of his daughter. ”
Princess Cheng'an's words are to remind Bai Dongyang that Xiao Jinxuan is not only the daughter of the Xiao family, but also has the support of the Yongchang Royal Mansion behind her.
And she was almost poisoned and assassinated by the Wu mother and daughter not long ago, so today's matter, out of instinct, she always felt that the mother and daughter might not be able to get rid of each other.
Bai Dongyang has been in charge of the Guogong Mansion for many years, and he is not an ordinary person, and his biological mother was poisoned and died violently, so he was a little emotional.
And this will be reminded by Cheng An, and looking at Shen Yunqing, the Rui princess, she also looks like she wants to interfere to the end.
Immediately, Bai Dongyang knew that if the matter was undecided, he really couldn't mess with Xiao Jinxuan.
Otherwise, it is very likely that one of them will not be able to get it right, and he will directly stab the hornet's nest, and even he will not end up well.
After taking a deep breath, Bai Dongyang ordered someone to settle the dead old lady first, and then squeezed out a smile and said politely to Xiao Jinxuan:
"Where the official is rude, I hope the county lord of Zhaoyang will not be surprised. After all, the mother died suddenly on her birthday, and as a son, she was inevitably a little emotional. I will now bring the person who made tea today, and if this matter really has nothing to do with the county lord, then the national government will definitely come to the door afterwards and apologize to the county lord personally. But this poisoning thing, as long as you find out who the person behind the scenes is, no matter how valuable the other party's identity is, even if it is in front of the emperor, I will definitely avenge my mother. ”
Bai Dongyang said this, as if he was apologizing for Shicai's unreasonableness.
But Xiao Jinxuan couldn't hear it, and the other party still felt that she was very suspicious in the second half of the sentence, so she warned her.
Xiao Jinxuan, who was not poisoned immediately, smiled calmly, then looked directly at Bai Dongyang, and said without giving in:
Hua Guogong's mood, Jinxuan naturally understood. After all, the tea was finally handed to the old lady in my hand, so it is normal for me to be suspected of not being able to take it off in this matter. However, it is difficult for Grandpa Guo to investigate thoroughly as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you can't get your innocence, then there is no need for Hua Guogong to make trouble in front of the emperor, and I, Xiao Jinxuan, will definitely ask the Holy Lord to preside over justice for me. ”
Xiao Jinxuan's dignified demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant words and deeds, immediately made Bai Dongyang really embarrassed to say anything.
And seeing that the other party is the most suspicious, but this Xiao Jinxuan will speak, which is even tougher than him.
Seeing that he didn't bargain in words, Bai Dongyang immediately snorted coldly, and just waited for the person who made the tea to be brought up.
The old lady's violent death was such a big deal, so it didn't take long for the maid who was making tea to be dragged away and brought over.
And as soon as the servant girl came closer, she immediately broke free of the restraints, and then flew to Xiao Jinxuan's approach, and then cried bitterly and said:
"Miss Jinxuan, help, as you said, I only need to be responsible for poisoning, and everything else will have nothing to do with me. But the slave is afraid, please don't ask Grandpa Guo to kill me. ”
Seeing that she was holding on to her skirt and looking at her in horror, Xiao Jinxuan immediately recognized the identity of the other party after being startled.
"Qiu Ling turned out to be you again, when I first came to the Guogong Mansion, you deliberately made it difficult for me to enter the door. Now that you're doing this, it's hard to blame me for the poisoning. But what you say now is also pushing yourself to death. ”
Hearing this, Qiu Ling, who was holding on to Xiao Jinxuan and was full of panic, flashed a trace of strong hatred in the depths of her eyes.
In fact, Qiu Ling didn't know that no matter what punishment Xiao Jinxuan would get today, she would never be able to survive this life.
But the other party not only had a grudge against her for killing her sister, but later her mother, after learning of the death of her eldest daughter, also committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in grief.
Now Qiu Ling no longer has any relatives, she washes her face with tears every night, and once when she was in the Guogong Mansion, she secretly burned paper money for her mother and sister.
was bumped into by Bai Liu, who was passing by unintentionally, and after the other party learned of the grievances between her and Xiao Jinxuan, he actually agreed to help each other.
This was a surprise for Qiu Ling.
She is now alone, and under Bai Liu's many intentional indoctrination, the only meaning of her life now is to seek revenge on Xiao Jinxuan.
Therefore, death is not a fearful thing at all for Qiu Ling, who is mentally confused, so she immediately wiped her tears, and then pointed at Xiao Jinxuan viciously and said:
"Lord Zhaoyang, you are now preparing to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and you can't blame all the faults on the slaves and maids. I naturally knew that if I said these words, Qiu Ling would inevitably die. But when you arrived at the house and threatened me to poison me, the slaves and maids all knelt down and begged for you, but the county lord still refused to let me go. Since you don't want to shelter me now, the slave won't hide it for you even if she dies. ”
As soon as Qiu Ling finished saying this, a lady of the family immediately said in surprise:
"What this maid said is true, no wonder I saw her at that time, and suddenly knelt down in front of the mansion to Lord Zhao, and said words similar to begging for mercy, at that time, this Qiu Ling looked extremely uneasy, and several ladies who came with me have all seen it."
The scene where Qiu Ling knelt down in front of the mansion was originally happening in front of everyone's eyes.
Therefore, there are a lot of people who have seen it, and immediately for this accusation, everyone can't help but believe it in their hearts.
And Qiu Ling, who was looking at this, had already crawled to Bai Dongyang's approach, and after kowtowing a few times, she continued to cry and said:
"The slave and maid of the grandfather of the country were persecuted, when the county lord of Zhaoyang first came to our house, Qiu Ling had inadvertently contradicted her, so the county lord used this to blackmail the slave and maid, and handed me a small packet of powdered things, and ordered me to find a way to throw it into the old lady's tea. And the county lord said that if I didn't do it, she would never stop with me because I had stopped her before, and Qiu Ling was afraid for a while, so she had to agree. ”
kicked Qiu Ling directly to the ground, and Bai Dongyang scolded very angrily:
", you dare to join forces with outsiders to assassinate your master, if you don't keep you to correct the evildoer, your own lord will immediately cut you with a thousand knives, and throw you to feed the dog along with the poisoner."
Seeing that Bai Dongyang was saying this, his eyes were looking at him extremely viciously, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, knowing that she couldn't avoid this basin of dirty water today.
Immediately knew that dodging was not the way, so Xiao Jinxuan stepped forward in a few steps and came to Qiu Ling, and then said coldly without a trace of emotion:
"You servant girl keeps saying that I instructed you to poison you, and since you were afraid of death, you had to agree to me. But now Hua Guogong hasn't forced you to ask a word, knowing that poisoning the old lady will kill you, Qiu Ling, don't you think that your confession is too fast. ”
Hearing this, the onlookers who had already decided that Xiao Jinxuan had poisoned them immediately showed puzzled expressions.
After all, if this Qiu Ling is really so afraid of death, it stands to reason that she should grit her teeth and not admit it.
Seeing a trace of panic flashing on Qiu Ling's face, Xiao Jinxuan smiled slightly, because the other party's accusation seemed to be menacing, but in fact it was full of loopholes, so she continued to ask in a condensed voice:
"I'm just thinking you're overly frightened, so it's better not to beat yourself. But I look at your dress, you should be the lowliest maid in the palace. You must all know that as the masters of each province, we have a special person responsible for food and clothing on weekdays. I, Xiao Jinxuan, am really curious, how did such a low-level person run into the courtyard of the old lady, and he also had to avoid everyone, sneaking into the tea shop, knowing exactly which pot of tea the old lady was going to drink, and throwing poison into it, no matter what the county lord thinks, he thinks that Qiu Ling You don't have this ability. ”
was analyzed by Xiao Jinxuan, and everyone would also notice that something was wrong.
After all, ladies and ladies like them in the back house of the family are extremely careful about their diet on weekdays.
Poisoning and killing an old lady by a low-level maidservant girl really shouldn't have happened.
And this will be Xiao Jinxuan a few words, questioning speechless, pale Qiu Ling, quietly looked at Bai Liu with a plea in her eyes.
After seeing this eldest lady of the Bai family and nodding slightly to her, Qiu Ling gritted her teeth, a look of determination flashed on her face, and then she stood up suddenly.
"Qiu Ling is just a subordinate, and there is no reason to frame the county lord at all. But the county lord told me that if the poison failed, let me go to her carriage, where there was a bag with poisonous snakes, and told me to find a way to get into the old lady's room afterwards. Now that I can't argue, and I killed my own master, Qiu Ling regrets it in her heart, but she is never willing to be a scapegoat, so this death proves that I am telling the truth. ”
After saying these words in a poignant voice, Qiu Ling didn't give others a chance to react at all, and immediately shouted and slammed into the wall.
