These days, the sun is always lazy, especially after lunch, and even more drowsy. At that time, the courtyards of the Shilang's Mansion would be clean, except for the occasional maids whispering a few words of housework to each other, and occasionally the chirping of birds and insects.

In Yaxuan, Lan Muya has been in much better spirits. Ever since she woke up and learned that she had been poisoned, she was terrified. Especially the nurse often whispered in her ear: "What kind of demons and monsters live in this house, scaring people to death, and daring to poison Mrs. Shilang for no reason." If it weren't for the big girl, this time it would be really suspenseful. ”

Lan Muya knew that the nurse was alluding to Aunt Luo. It's a pity that she ordered people to check and check, but she couldn't find even a trace of suspicion. Aunt Luo was usually respectful and polite to her, and she couldn't hold her handle in a hurry.

Bai Fusu is also investigating. Xiao Zhang Xian'er reported: The woman often goes to the rouge shop on Xie Yuan Street in the west, at least once a month. The flowers in that shop are very strange, and they are very ordinary. In Zhang Dahai's eyes, it is not as exquisite as the silver hairpin on Sun Fu's head.

A woman like Luo Anran, who likes luxury and dresses well, has a lot of eyes for that small shop, and there must be a reason.

After checking again, I got another news: Wang Sumei, the maid who was scolded and sold by the cane for trying to suppress the eldest lady, actually acted as a big shopkeeper in this shop. Every day, I saw her sitting behind the counter with a teacup, knocking melon seeds and directing people to work, I don't know how comfortable she was.

Bai Fusu sneered when he heard this: What a good Aunt Luo, what is this going on?

Xie Yuan Street, because of the earlier place out of the Xie Yuan famous, the street entrance also stands a bolted horse stone, legend has Xie Yuan once bolted the horse here.

The streets are populated by ordinary people: cart drivers, carpenters, meat sellers...... and those who do small business. The shops on the street are also shops used by ordinary people, mostly selling daily groceries, as well as rice noodles and fish.

Xiao Zhang Xian'er said that the rouge flower emerald shop is here. The shop actually has a vassal and elegant name, called "Xiangcuiju".

On that day, a woman in a cloth dress wearing a vertebral hat arrived. I saw that the female shopkeeper who was eating melon seeds immediately dropped the idle food in her hand and got up to greet her respectfully. This female shopkeeper is taller, and there is a black mole under her eyebrows, which is the maid Wang Sumei. The woman ignored her and went straight to the back, and Wang Sumei immediately followed.

After a while, the woman came out again and departed in a hurry.

Wang Sumei sent the woman away, and was shouting to the helper to change a cup of hot green beans for her family to make tea, when she saw the curtain lifted, and two girls walked in. The man at the head has a sparse eyebrow but an extraordinary temperament, and a collared green shuttle shirt is also dressed with a unique taste. She smiled and greeted, "Wang Sumei, let's meet again." ”

Wang Sumei's expression changed dramatically!

She has suffered from this eldest lady. At this moment, when he saw Bai Fusu, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he was so shocked that he couldn't say anything: "Big, Miss!" ”

Bai Fusu nodded and said with a smile: "Do you remember me?" I thought you only knew Aunt Luo. Bai Shao stared at Wang Sumei with horizontal eyebrows next to her: "Sneaky, don't do good things!" ”

Wang Sumei no longer dared to treat Bai Fusu as an ordinary girl. She stared at Bai Fusu nervously, lowered her voice and said, "My aunt has redeemed me, and my Wang Sumei has nothing to do with Shangshu Mansion from now on." ”

Bai Fusu said lightly: "Really? Your own sister Wang Hongmei was only asked to go to Fusu Garden today. Do you think she'll go your way? ”

Wang Sumei raised her head suddenly: "Miss! Although the slave was ransomed here by her aunt after doing something wrong, although it goes against your will, you can't just anger Hongmei? ”

Bai Fusu sighed and said, "You must think that you want to investigate the previous matter." Why don't you ask your sister what she did first? ”

Wang Sumei looked at her suspiciously. Bai Shao said: "Your sister was instructed by others to decoct the poison and secretly put it into Mrs. Ginseng Tea. The dregs of the medicine were the evidence, hidden in a clay pot under her bed. ”

As if a thunderbolt fell, Wang Sumei was stunned. I only heard the eldest lady in front of me still saying: "I wanted to tie her up and punish her, but I knew that she was also forced to be helpless; If the murderer is someone else, why should I take another life? ”

"As long as you confess Aunt Luo's deeds, I can assure you that your sister will be unharmed."

Wang Sumei sat down dejectedly, and the idle food plate on the counter was touched by her, and she immediately spilled it on the ground. She stared blankly at the curtain in front of her and was silent for a long time.

Bai Shao was anxious and scolded: "Aren't you stupid? People clearly want to use your sister as a scapegoat, and you still help the murderer cover up and not confess to the eldest lady, do you really want your sister's life? ”

Bai Fusu waved his hand and motioned for Bai Shao not to speak. She walked slowly to the back of the counter, picked up a pickled sour plum and put it in her mouth, and said slowly as if she was sighing: "This person has only one life." Isn't it good to take the money with your relatives and go back to your hometown? Marry a family, buy a field to grow some rice grain, or raise some chickens, ducks and piglets, so that the years are quiet...... It's also a blessing. ”

Wang Sumei's eyes rolled twice, as if she was moving. I only heard Bai Fusu say again: "Three hundred taels of silver, you can be a rich man, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime." ”

The last sentence finally touched the girl's heart. She gritted her teeth: "The girl wants to inquire about Aunt Luo?" Whatever the slave knows, this will be told to you. I just hope that you will keep your promise to me and Hongmei Shenglu. ”

So, Luo Anran, that is, Luo Haitang's experience was revealed in front of Tang Yi for the first time.

Bai Yunqi is actually not the first benefactor of Begonia. Before him, Begonia was also owned by a Xirong merchant named Kang Xu for two years. And Sister Wang Sumei was also bought by Xirong merchants at that time and given to this flower girl as a maidservant.

Even later, Begonia was given to Baiyunqi by this Xirong merchant.

When Bai Fusu heard this, he felt contemptuous in his heart: Daddy really has a good appetite, and he is not disgusting.

Wang Sumei continued to confess: Haitang did not cut off contact with the Xirong merchants, and during this period, she also had a secret knot, and she was pregnant twice and secretly knocked out. By the way, when the master was right, he only said that he was unwell.

Some time ago, that Kang Xu came again. Haitang complained that her identity was inconvenient to do things, so Kang Xu said that there was a way to call her to be Mrs. Squire.

The two muttered in the inner room for a long time, not knowing what to discuss, and when Wang Sumei went in to change the tea, she heard that Kang Xu assured: Don't worry, it's impossible. Seeing that the maid was coming, the two kept silent.

Bai Fusu listened carefully, and he could almost determine that the real culprit of the poisoning was Haitang and the merchant Na Xirong. But she always had the feeling that things weren't that simple. She groaned and asked, "Where is that Xirong merchant Kang Xu now?" ”

I saw Wang Sumei stretch out a finger and say something amazing: "The slave can hear that the eldest lady is in charge of the house right now, can you know the big housekeeper Li Yi?" Although the slave didn't know Kang Xu's whereabouts, Kang Xu was secretly in the dark, and Li Yi was Kang Xu's subordinate. ”

"Moreover," Wang Sumei hesitated, and then said: "The slave maid still has a feeling - maybe all of Kang Xu's actions, the master also knows it." ”

The bean-sized candlelight flashed in the room in circles and circles, reflecting the faces of the people in the room.

Since she came back from Najieyuan Street, the eldest lady has been sitting here, and she doesn't know what to think about quietly, and she doesn't eat tea and dinner. The big and small maids in Fusu Yuan became extremely light, for fear of interrupting the girl's train of thought.
