Chen's mother stepped out of the door, and when she saw someone coming from a distance, her face was relieved and her steps slowed down.

It was the second steward of the outer courtyard who came to Songling Hall to find Huixiang, and the princess found a maid and a small maid, but if it was really a small maid, it would be difficult to do.

After all, Jiang Juan was using the guise of the old lady to find out who was spreading rumors outside the house, and the maids elsewhere were all interrogated, but Songlingtang was not allowed, isn't this very strange and suspicious?

This second steward is an ambitious person, and he is bent on the position of the chief steward of the outer court, so he has a lot of scolding her, such a good opportunity, he will not miss it.

The second steward stepped forward with a smile, and was respectful to Chen's mother, Chen's mother pretended not to know what to do, and said with a smile, "The old lady is unwell, and the old and young masters in the house don't see much of it, so who is the second steward?" ”

The second steward hurriedly said, "The princess is checking on the people who left the house yesterday, and a maid named Huixiang from Songling Hall went out yesterday and wants to take it for questioning." ”

"Isn't the outer courtyard particularly idle, even for a trivial matter like a message, the second steward also came in person?" Chen's mother smiled.

After speaking, Chen's mother instructed the maid, "Go and call Huixiang." ”

The little maid hurriedly replied, "Mother Chen, have you forgotten?" Hui Xiang is cooking porridge for the old lady. ”

Chen's mother patted her head and said, "Look at my broken memory." ”

looked at the second steward and said, "The second steward is afraid that he will have to wait a while before he can take away Huixiang, this maid's porridge is fragrant, and the old lady loves to eat it the most, and others can't boil that taste." ”

A gleam flashed in the eyes of the second steward, and said with a smile, "The princess interrogated the maid, but she was also afraid that the rules in the house were not strict, and she would be angry with the old lady, so she naturally took the old lady's body and bones as the priority, and it would take half a day for the princess to interrogate others, and it would not be too late to wait for Huixiang to finish boiling the porridge." ”

Chen's mother smiled back.

The second steward left the little servant to wait for Huixiang, and went back to the outer courtyard first.

He knew very well that it was impossible for Huixiang's maid to survive out of Songling Hall.

It's just that the second steward didn't expect that he had just left the gate of Songling Hall here, and someone over there shouted "help" at the top of his voice.

The corners of the second steward's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he started too quickly, and the others hadn't left yet.

Hearing the shouts for help, the second steward naturally wanted to go back, and when he entered the yard, he saw Chen's mother walking quickly towards the place where the call came from, and hurriedly followed.

Chen's mother was very anxious, worried, but she was in a relaxed mood, and she looked at a bunch of people around the well from a distance, and her steps sped up a little.

Just walked two steps, and saw the county lord of Qinglan standing on the edge of the well, Chen's mother stagnated and almost fell forward.

Why is the Lord of Qinglan in Songling Hall?!

Well.

Not only was the county lord of Qinglan standing by the well, but the cousin Xiao Rou was also there, and what was even worse was that the maid Huixiang was soaked and pulled up from the well, and there was a little maid standing by the well who was shaking into a sieve.

Mother Chen's eyes swept over, the blood on her face faded little by little, and her eyes turned black for a while.

Her body shook, and if the maid hadn't hurriedly held her, she would have fallen to the ground.

The little maid didn't know, so she hurriedly supported her, "Mother Chen, are you okay?" ”

Chen's mother forced herself to calm down, waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, it's just that I left too quickly and my head is a little dizzy." ”

Mother Chen didn't know how to explain it to the little maid, but she said it to the lord of Qinglan County.

The county lord of Qinglan smiled, and he couldn't find the words to describe his sister-in-law's admiration in his heart.

She also wondered before that her sister-in-law asked the maid to pass a message to her, asking her to go to Songlingtang to find a cousin girl, and pay attention to the well of Songlingtang.

Usually Jiang Juan only brings Jin Er with him, and only lets Jin Er enter the house to serve, if it weren't for this little maid's message, the county lord of Qinglan would still doubt whether it was fake.

Although I don't know why, the county lord of Qinglan still listened to Jiang Juan and came to Songling Hall to find Xiao Rou.

The county lord of Qinglan accompanied Xiao Rou to drink tea, and the maid peony paid close attention to the well, and when she heard that the outer courtyard was looking for Huixiang, the peony knew about it, and immediately went to find the county lord of Qinglan.

And then—

Lord Qinglan and Xiao Rou walked over and happened to see the scene of Huixiang being pushed into the well.

The cry for help was shouted by Peony.

Xiao Rou stood aside, her hands under the cloud sleeves were tight, she was not stupid, she thought that the county lord of Qinglan suddenly came to her, and she thought it was unusual to bring pastries made by herself, but she didn't think much about it, after all, she went to the county lord of Qinglan these days, and yesterday she sent her mother to make pastries, and it was normal for people to return some pastries.

Seeing the maid falling into the water, Xiao Rou knew that something was wrong, and when she saw Chen's mother's face, Xiao Rou knew that she was being used no matter how stupid she was.

The county lord of Qinglan looked at Chen's mother and said, "I was hanging out with Xiao Rou's cousin, I didn't expect to see this little girl pushing people into the well so coincidentally, and I don't know what kind of hatred and hatred are for people's lives." ”

"By the way, I just heard someone call this maid who fell into the well Huixiang?"

As he spoke, Lord Qinglan's eyes swept over the second steward.

The second manager had a cool back afterwards.

He came to find Huixiang to go to the front yard to reply, Huixiang was cooking porridge for the old lady before, he didn't take people away and said the past, now there is the county lord of Qinglan staring, can he not take people away?

Over there, the princess found out who went out of the house, and Huixiang committed suicide here, which was already suspicious, but as soon as the person died, there was no proof of death, even if the princess was suspicious, it was useless, but the result was good, not to mention the attempted murder, and was arrested, this is not clear to tell everyone, Huixiang spread rumors Isn't it the old lady's instructions?

The old lady did not let the princess stab the matter of the golden hairpin to Dali Temple, and on the other hand, it spread it outside, causing the princess to sue the Golden Jade Pavilion and not be sued by the Golden Jade Pavilion.

The old lady's face......

The second steward was panicked for the old lady.

Thinking that he still wanted to please Chen's mother, let her help speak well in front of the old lady, so that he could squeeze out Steward Zhao and sit in the position of the chief steward of the palace, and the second steward's heart was a little colder at this time.

The old lady is the most senior person in the palace, but so what, isn't she still pressed to death by the princess?

Her every move, the princess guessed thoroughly.

Although Jiang is still old and spicy, the old lady is really not as good as the princess, Steward Zhao is right, Jiang also depends on the variety.

Thinking that when he rushed to Songling Hall to pass the word, Steward Zhao's smiling eyes, and the second steward's back jumped through a cold snap afterwards, and even the old lady couldn't fight, pinching him to death as a little steward was not as simple as stepping on an ant?

The second steward quickly looked at Chen's mother and said, "I'm afraid the princess is in a hurry, this maid ...... I'll take it to the front yard first. ”

I hope he is in a hurry to abandon the darkness and turn to the light now.

Chen's mother didn't almost bite her silver teeth, she knew what the consequences would be if Huixiang was taken away, but did she still have a reason to keep Huixiang?

A maid, even if she is soaked and scared half to death, does she still have to let the princess wait for her to change into clean clothes before going?

The two little guys helped Huixiang up, and the county lord of Qinglan looked at Xiao Judao, "I'll go to the front yard to have a look, and I'll go back to the garden with you." ”

A flash of anger flashed in Xiao Rou's eyes.

Although the old lady loves her, after all, she is under the fence and is being used to treat the old lady, how can she stay? !

"Okay," Xiao Rou squeezed the word out between her teeth.
