Seeing that there was no one nearby, Xin'er took the key and quietly opened the side door and went out of the palace. Shi Niang hurriedly followed, followed closely, presumably she was going to the little maid's house.

Shi Niang hurriedly followed, and hurriedly came to a remote earthen house. Inside, there is a patio dedicated to washing clothes, and the house is on the right. When I came to the small house, I could only see a table and a few chairs inside, which was very simple.

The low houses are dilapidated, presumably when winter comes, the cold wind blows in, and the dilapidated ones here cannot shelter from the wind and rain, and there are very few people living in brick houses here, and it is a slum at a glance, and the black smoke rising from the roofs of each house covers the sky, making people feel panicked.

Shi Niang looked at the dilapidated situation here, and suddenly understood why she sent her daughter into the house, at this time, a sloppy aunt came out of the house, she saw Xin'er, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xin'er girl, why are you here?" Did that little girl do something wrong in the house? ”

Xin'er sighed and replied, "Auntie, she ran into a noble person in the mansion and has been given to death. When the aunt heard this, she sat down like thunder in the sky, and muttered to herself, "How come? The child was as careful and cautious. ”

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the aunt sitting on the ground in despair, Xin'er was also very uncomfortable, and comforted: "Auntie, people can't be resurrected after death." My wife saw that the girl was really pitiful, so she asked me to bring you both fifty taels of silver. ”

Where has my aunt heard of so much silver, her girl is just a third-class girl in the kitchen in the palace, only five or six hundred yuan a month, and fifty taels of silver is enough for her to earn for decades without eating or drinking. Poor people like them will never see so much silver in their lives.

The aunt hurriedly refused and said, "This, this is too much, it was that girl who did something wrong." Shi Niang finally couldn't listen anymore, and jumped down from the tree, and Aunt and Xin'er were shocked when they saw the person who suddenly appeared. Xin'er then asked, "Are you?" ”

Shi Niang didn't say anything more, but just said to the aunt: "This is how it should be, you take it." After speaking, he pulled Xin'er out of the house, leaving the aunt in the yard and the fifty taels of silver brought by Xin'er.

Xin'er was dragged out of the house by her, a little inexplicable, so she asked a little angrily, "Who are you?" What are you dragging me out for? Shi Niang sneered and said sarcastically: "Who am I?" Walk! Go and meet the prince with me! Tell me all the ugly things you and your wife have done! ”

Hearing this, he was a little frightened and asked, "You, who are you?" Shi Niang said a little angrily: "You have harmed Luo Jiu like that, you still have the face to ask who I am?" I'm Luo Jiu's master! As soon as Xin'er heard this, she was afraid to break free from the master's hand.

She saw that her heart was not honest, so she stunned her with a palm and carried her back to the palace. Foshan saw Shi Niang coming back with her heart, and asked in shock: "What's going on?" She ignored Foshan and walked straight into Song Zhancheng's study.

Song Zhancheng also saw Shi Niang come in with her heart, and asked in surprise, "Shi Niang, what are you carrying her for?" Shi Niang was angry and said, "It's her, it's her who hurt Luo Jiu." ”

Song Zhancheng didn't know Xin'er, but vaguely remembered that this seemed to be Ye Xushuang's maid. Song Zhancheng opened his mouth and asked, "Master, you can make it clear, what is going on?" ”

Shi Niang said indignantly: "This is not your good princess, she asked this maid to instruct a little maid to poison Jiu'er, and after the death of a little maid, she went to her house and gave fifty taels of silver as compensation, just so I was arrested, so I brought it back." ”

Song Zhancheng was a little surprised, he knew that Ye Xushuang looked down on Luo Jiu, after all, one was the concubine of Shangshu Mansion, and the other was an apprentice of the Jianghu sect, but Song Zhancheng didn't expect that Ye Xushuang would be so ruthless. Song Zhancheng couldn't believe it, is Shangshufu such an upbringing?

Just as Shi Niang criticized Dou Ye Xushuang to Song Zhancheng, Xin'er woke up. Song Zhancheng saw that she was awake and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Was the incident in Banxia instigated by the princess? ”

Of course, Xin'er knew that she must not admit it at this time, so she denied it and said, "What does this have to do with the princess?" The princess just saw that the girl's family was really pitiful, so she asked the slave maid to send some silver taels to her family. ”

When the master saw Xin'er talking here, she angrily grabbed her neck and asked, "Why don't you tell the truth?" Obviously, you bought that little girl and asked her to poison Luo Jiu. Now that the matter has been revealed, the little girl is dead, and you feel uneasy in conscience, so you sent the silver taels. ”

Xin'er knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Song Zhancheng, and cried and said, "Lord Wang, how can she be such a person, princess?" "Song Zhancheng is not stupid, he has seen a lot of people who can act in the palace in this palace. So he didn't really believe what Xin'er said.

Even if he was inclined to what Shi Niang said, he still couldn't believe that Ye Xushuang was such a ruthless woman.

He called Foshan in, and Foshan asked, "What does the prince command?" "Can Banxia's matter be clarified?" Song Zhancheng frowned and asked.

Foshan replied: "Recently, there has been no record of Banxia being lost in Fuzhong, or buying Banxia. So the subordinates suspected that someone might have secretly gone out to buy Banxia. "Then which of the maids has been out recently?" Song Zhancheng then asked. Shi Niang listened to the conversation between the two and thought thoughtfully.

Foshan recalled for a moment and said: "Recently, only the princess's courtyard and Luo Jiu's courtyard have been out. ”

Song Zhancheng was a little surprised and vigilant, and asked: "Someone went out in Luo Jiu's courtyard, I know, when they went out to look for Luo Jiu, her maid also went out to help find it, what did the maid ring in Ye Xushuang's courtyard go out for?" ”

Foshan shook his head and said, "This subordinate hasn't found out yet, after all, this incident was five or six days ago." Song Zhancheng thought for a moment, and then asked, "What's the name of the maid who went out?" Foshan replied: "It seems to be called, Xin'er." ”

Shi Niang looked at Xin'er who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "I remember that you seem to be called Xin'er." My heart was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, and my back began to tremble.

Song Zhancheng looked at his heart kneeling on the ground and asked, "You tell me the truth, where did you go that day when you left the house?" What was done? ”

Xin'er was afraid that after she was exposed, she would be given death, so she said: "That day, the princess said that she wanted a little spice for the lily, so the slave and maid went out to buy it, and after buying it, they came back, and now the lily has not been used, and it is kept in the slave's room." ”

Shi Niang pushed her heart angrily and said, "Light will explain and reason with strong words!" Who knew you didn't buy Banxia when you went out? ”

Xin'er couldn't help but explain, and said, "The slave really doesn't have it!" Not really! Song Zhancheng sighed and thought to himself: Why are there so many messy things in this mansion? Not only do I have to take care of the affairs of the army, but I also have to worry about the prince's side, and I have to judge the case for them in the palace.
