Chapter 6 There is a problem with the housekeeper

"Delicious." Bai Churuo said simply, people in this era don't eat offal, so there is no need to go into too much detail.

Murong Jiuqing looked at other things again, "What is this?" ”

If Bai Chu answers patiently and prepares the meals one by one, Murong Jiuqing will follow her wherever she goes.

After a while, a table of side dishes was ready, and the aroma was very appetizing.

Murong Jiuqing sat at the table, looking at her expectantly.

Bai Churuo smiled faintly, "Eat." ”

Murong Jiuqing picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the food to eat, and then began to eat without saying whether it was delicious or not.

The people here cook relatively simply, and there are exquisite dishes, but many methods and seasonings have not been developed, so the meals she makes are definitely not good compared to modern chefs, but they are absolutely unique here.

Murong Jiuqing didn't leave after eating, and after rinsing his mouth, he ran to the house and fell asleep on the bed.

Bai Churuo originally thought that Murong Jiuqing would not be able to communicate and be difficult to get along with, but he didn't expect that he would be okay, as long as there was good food and fun, he would be obedient.

Murong Jiuqing took a nap, and Bai Churuo read a book next to the table in the room.

But it didn't take long for the butler to come.

"Miss, the housekeeper of the palace is here." Peony came in and whispered.

Bai Churuo just wanted to inquire carefully about the affairs of the palace, especially Murong Jiuqing's food.

"Let him come to the yard." After Bai Churuo finished speaking, he walked to the courtyard and sat under the tree.

Peony and Xiaolan served hot tea.

The butler came in and saluted, "Princess." ”

"Is there something the butler is doing in my yard?" Bai Churuo asked.

The butler knelt down, "The slave wants to ask if there is something wrong with the minion?" Or is there something wrong with those eats? Why don't you let the princess eat it and ask the princess to cook it herself? ”

Bai Churuo asked coldly, "What you said, can't I cook for the prince?" ”

"Slaves don't dare! But these are all things that people should do, and I'm afraid it's not good for the princess to do it now. The butler said.

"There's nothing bad about it, ordinary people's wives will also cook for their husbands, although I am a princess, I am still the wife of the prince." Bai Churuo said lightly.

"Having said that, the prince and the princess are not ordinary couples after all." The butler said.

Bai Churuo showed a hint of anger on her face, and said angrily, "I will do what I say, when will it be your turn to take care of me......" She didn't want to continue to go around in circles, and asked bluntly, "Or do you want to continue to poison the prince?" ”

"Poison!?" The butler asked in surprise.

"What? Don't you know? Bai Churuo asked with a sneer.

"The slave doesn't know, and the slave doesn't dare, where does the slave dare to poison the prince!!" The butler turned pale with fright, and his whole body knelt on the ground, "Is there a mistake in the princess?" ”

Bai Churuo threw the teacup in his hand and even the cup with the tea belt to the ground, and said angrily, "I made a mistake? Good! From now on, you will eat everything you prepare for the prince every day in front of me! I'll see if you will be poisoned if you eat it for a long time! ”

The butler turned pale with fright, and said with a crying voice, "Minion...... Minion ......"

"What's wrong? Didn't you say I was mistaken? Why can't you even speak now!? Or do you dare to eat it? Bai Churuo shouted coldly.

"The minion doesn't know, the minion doesn't know what's going on?" The butler pleaded as he lay on the ground.

Bai Chu wanted to kill this thing that murdered Murong Jiuqing, but she restrained herself from maintaining the most basic reserve, she scolded angrily, "I don't know what a bad dog thing is!" Calling you a dog is insulting a dog, you know? Dogs are so loyal, do you have them? ”

"Yes, the princess scolded yes." The butler didn't care about any retorts, and continued to argue, "But the princess, the slave really doesn't know what's going on, so I beg the princess to spare the slave!" ”

"Do you think you poisoned the prince, if I report to the official or make a big fuss, can you live?" Bai Churuo asked.

"The princess spares her life!! The princess spares her life!! The steward fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

Bai Churuo took out a pill, "Don't worry, I won't kill you for the time being...... You've got to eat this, though! ”

Naturally, the housekeeper refused.

Bai Churuo made a color, and Peony and Xiaolan stepped forward and fed it hard, and the housekeeper ate the pill half-pushed.

"This medicine is nothing, but if you are disobedient, there is no antidote, and it will not be long before it becomes poisonous." This pill is a chronic poison that Bai Churuo has recently concocted, it is not fatal but can make people uncomfortable and scare people, the material is for Peony and Xiaolan to find her, originally for self-defense but did not expect to use it to solve the case now.

"What does the princess want the slave to do, just say it, don't do it." The housekeeper was about to cry.

"I can't believe you as someone like you who wants to murder your master." Bai Churuo sat upright, and Peony made another cup of hot tea for her.

Bai Churuo took a sip of tea and said, "Listen, today's events are only known to the people in the courtyard at the moment, if you let me know that others know, I will let you not eat and walk around." ”

"Yes! The slave got it. The butler said.

Bai Churuo smiled faintly, "In this way, let's talk easily, I will know everything about the mansion from today onwards, if I let me know that you cheat, the consequences will be very serious." ”

"The minions don't dare." The butler said.

"Everything I'm talking about, including the details of the people in the house and the ledger and the scope of all the matters that everyone has jurisdiction over." What Bai Chu wanted was to understand everything clearly first, and then start to lay out to protect Murong Jiuqing and protect herself, so that she could prepare for defeating the Bai family and those who wanted to kill Murong Jiuqing.

"Yes, the princess has the right to know all the matters in the palace, and she doesn't have to ask the minions." The butler said.

"What's your name?" Bai Churuo asked.

The housekeeper wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said cautiously, "Everyone calls the slave Lao Liu." ”

"Okay, got it." Bai Churuo said, "You can go down." ”

Lao Liu said yes and retreated.

"Miss, did you really let him go like this?" Peony asked.

"Of course I won't let him go like this, but I can't force anything out now, I think sometimes if you want to know the truth and find the murderer, killing people is not necessarily the best way, it's better to lure the snake out of the hole like this." Bai Churuo groaned and said, "And the other party wants to poison the prince unknowingly, I first have to tell him that this road will not work." ”

"That Lao Liu really doesn't seem to know, will it be ......?" Peony asked.

"No, there must be something wrong with this old Liu." Bai Churuo said affirmatively.
