Chapter 116: Guilt

When the two arrived in a hurry, Song Qizheng had already returned, standing awkwardly, not knowing what they were thinking, and the second lady, Song Qiuxue and the housekeeper were also there, obviously these people were waiting for them.

"Miss Su, Murong Gongzi."

Sighing lightly, the second lady said softly: "Xiaohe, this girl hanged herself, I heard from the people in the house that Xiaohe had angered the two of you today." ”

The eldest lady was crying, completely blaming Murong Shan's head for Xiaohe's death, she was really worried that Su Yue and the others would be implicated in Xiaohe's suicide.

"Xiaohe will never kill himself."

Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, the eldest lady choked up: "Xiaohe has an old man and a younger brother in her family, every time I reward her with something, she will give it to the family as a supplement, how can such a filial and sensible child commit suicide?" There must be another reason for this. ”

"If the eldest lady has something to say, you might as well speak up."

Su Yue had a cold face, there was something in her words, didn't she just want to put Xiaohe's death on Murong Shan, it was really shameless.

A trace of cruelty flashed in the eldest lady's eyes, and she snorted lightly: "Xiaohe has been in the mansion for many years, and she has always understood the etiquette, but Murong Shan drunk her with strong means, if she hadn't suffered a great grievance, how could Xiaohe have died with her will?" ”

"You ......"

"Xianggong!"

Grabbing Murong Shan's wrist, Su Yue smiled and shook her head: "To deal with this kind of person, I'll just come." ”

In order to get the hot pot recipe, she did everything she could, and she had to make the eldest lady pay the price this time.

The daughter-in-law went out in person, Murong Shan naturally took the initiative to retreat, and the eldest lady frowned: "Su Yue, Mrs. Ben respects you as a guest, but you can't take the lead, not only do you not admit that you have done something wrong, but you even want to be rude to Mrs. Ben." ”

Damn, the old man hasn't said a word until now, do you want to turn a blind eye to Murong Shan and Su Yue like before?

Su Yue narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly: "I don't have any disrespectful thoughts towards the eldest lady, I just want to be reasonable." ”

"Reasonable?"

With a sneer, the eldest lady continued: "Okay, then you can tell me, what happened to Xiaohe being poured wine by Murong Shan?" Could it be that you still want to take revenge on Mrs. Ben because of what happened before, so you took Xiaohe under the knife. ”

Secretly sighing at the eldest lady's ability to reverse black and white, Su Yue smiled and said slowly: "Xiaohe has become the second young master's maid, so you should stay by the eldest lady's side every day to serve, how can you come to my yard in a good manner?" Or without the knowledge of the eldest lady. ”

"Nature is ......"

Snorted lightly, the eldest lady said coldly: "Naturally, Murong Shan deceived her by means, you are guests, how dare Xiaohe disobey?" ”

"Oh? Don't dare to disobey? ”

Raising her eyebrows, Su Yue took out the peach blossom wine she brought: "This jar of wine was given to me by Song Qiuxue, but it was drugged in advance, when I was groggy, Murong Shan poured wine on Xiaohe, but I just wanted to see if it was poison." And my father-in-law handed over Xiaohe to the first year of junior high school, Xiaohe has begun to be groggy, according to the time, she can't wake up so quickly, I suspect that someone used forceful means to hang her on the beam of the house when she was drunk, pretending to commit suicide in fear of sin. ”

Originally, Su Yue didn't want to say these words, but now that Xiaohe is dead, and the eldest lady wants to wronged them, she has to say it.

"Someone poisoned the wine?"

Song Qiuxue gasped: "This wine was asked for by my father, and the housekeeper personally went to the warehouse to get it, how could it be poisonous?" ”

"Butler?"

Su Yue's smiling eyes fell on the housekeeper's face, clearly catching the panic that flashed in the other party's eyes.

This housekeeper is an old man in the Song Mansion, and he has been working under the eldest lady for many years, so if you think about it, he has already become the eldest lady's minion!

The housekeeper only felt that Su Yue's clear and beautiful eyes had seen through all of them, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Miss Su, the old slave has been working in the Song family for decades, and he has always been diligent and conscientious, and he will never do this kind of thing, besides, the old slave has no grievances with you, and there is no need for it!" ”

"Whether the housekeeper does it or not, he knows best."

Murong Shan took a step forward and said in a cold tone: "Do you think what you are doing is unaware?" Do you take the initiative to explain, or wait for us to find out what is going on and send you to the government? ”

"Murong Gongzi, the old slave is really wronged!"

The housekeeper wiped his tears aggrievedly, but panicked in his heart.

If he tells the truth, the lord and the eldest lady will definitely not spare him, and the eldest lady will make him 'afraid of guilt' like he did with Xiaohe. But if he kept his mouth shut, with the means of Murong Shan and Su Yue, he would still find out about him sooner or later.

The eldest lady also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she simply took the lead: "Murong Gongzi is so majestic, he was a guest in the Song family and even bullied my Song family's steward, what I know is that you are angry that you have been wronged, and I don't know what kind of court official you think you are, the housekeeper is an old man in the Song Mansion, and he has always been loyal, why did you wronged him?" ”

"I ......"

"Enough!"

Song Qizheng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke up, and he had a calm face: "No matter what, I believe that Murong Gongzi is definitely not a mutilated innocent person, wait for the housekeeper to bury Xiaohe, and give her family some silver, and the matter will be over." ”

"Old man......"

The eldest lady is unwilling to the extreme, is the lord crazy? Again and again, he favored Murong Shan and Su Yue.

Su Yue can make hot pot, so it's just a matter of the Song family to woo her. How can you treat Murong Shan, a reckless man, so leniently?

Song Qi glanced at the eldest lady with an unhappy face, and said unhappily: "As the head of the Song Mansion, everything must be peaceful, besides, Xiaohe hanged himself because he couldn't think about it, if he really holds him responsible, you, the master, are the most responsible, and he doesn't even know where she goes, and he still has the face to say something here." ”

"......"

The eldest lady's face is cloudy, the lord must have been bewitched by ghosts, and it is incredible to trust two outsiders like this.

"Okay, do whatever you have to do."

Frowning, Song Qizheng looked at Murong Shan, his face softened slightly: "Murong Gongzi, you and my wife should go to the study with me!" and Cher also went along. ”

"Okay."

Several people came to the study together, and Song Qiuxue hugged Song Qizheng's arm coquettishly: "Daddy, this matter is obviously someone who wants to wronged Sister Su Yue and them, why don't you continue to investigate clearly, but be a peacemaker." ”

Xiaohe is the eldest lady's most loyal maid, and the poisoning in the wine must have been instructed by the eldest lady behind her back.

It was too much for these two people to use her to send the wine to Su Yue.

Song Qizheng glared at Song Qiuxue helplessly: "Family and everything is prosperous, it's not difficult to uproot this matter, but there are too many involved, and my father doesn't want to investigate." ”

"Okay!"

Pouted, Song Qiuxue frowned: "Why don't you want to dig deeper, why do you still call the three of us?" ”

"I have something to say."

Smiling, Song Qizheng spoke: "Murong Gongzi, Miss Su, although I don't know what happened here, I believe that the character of the two of you will never do anything to hurt people's lives." ”

Hearing this, Su Yue looked at the man beside her, Master Song was really a very transparent person, not only did he not blame them, but he defended them everywhere.

And they brought so much trouble to Master Song, which really shouldn't be.
