Chapter 564: Good Samaritan
Peony's face sank, and her eyes staring at Gu Nuannuan were full of poison: "Ugly girl, who do you say is a dogleg?" ”
"You."
Gu Nuannuan looked at Peony with a smile: "And it's a dogleg who is in Cao Ying's heart and Han." ”
"You!" As soon as Peony wanted to say something, she was pulled by the little maid on the side, and after the little maid said a few words, Peony suppressed the anger in her heart and raised her chin, "I am on the order of Concubine Ning, and I came to take Aunt Hong away!" ”
"Why did you take Aunt Hong away?" Gu Nuannuan raised her eyebrows.
"They are all the concubines of the crown prince, who is more noble than whom? If you talk well, it's not impossible for our Aunt Hong to go for a while, you are so arrogant, I don't know and think that you are the master, our Aunt Hong has grown up with the prince since she was a child, and you don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, are you sure that Concubine Ning wants you to tie Aunt Hong? ”
Gu Nuannuan stood up from the stool: "Or are you a fox and a fake tiger, and you came here to find a sense of existence through the name of Concubine Ning?" ”
"You talk nonsense!" Peony glared at Gu Nuannuan, and then said, "Aunt Hong is suspected of mutilating Aunt Bai's life, the prince already knows, and now the prince asked Concubine Ning to investigate the matter, so he asked me to come over and bring Aunt Hong over." ”
"Is there any evidence?" Gu Nuannuan continued to ask.
Peony was slightly stunned: "The person hasn't gone over yet, and he hasn't asked, so naturally there is no evidence." ”
"In this case, then Aunt Hong is just a suspect, not a criminal, so why should she be tied up? Could it be that Concubine Ning has already identified Aunt Hong as a murderer? Even if there is no evidence, will you find some evidence to put on Aunt Hong's head? ”
"There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add! I can't imagine that Concubine Ning is such a person! ”
As the surrounding maids came around, Gu Nuannuan's voice became louder and louder.
"If Concubine Ning wants to cure our Aunt Hong's sins, she also has to ask His Royal Highness the Prince! After all, Aunt Hong is the woman of His Royal Highness the Prince! How can you allow a maid to yell here? ”
Peony looked at Gu Nuannuan in disbelief, she said a word, but she refuted her more than ten words!
Seeing this, the maid on the side hurriedly said: "It's the peony that passed on the wrong will, and our side concubine Niangniang said it, let Aunt Hong come over." ”
Gu Nuannuan nodded, her face full of seriousness: "Since this is the case, then I will go and ask Aunt Hong to come out." ”
With that, he turned and walked in.
And Aunt Hong has already heard the situation outside clearly, not to mention the maid, even she is shocked.
When he saw Gu Nuannuan walking in, he immediately asked, "Have you ever read?" ”
Gu Nuannuan was stunned: "Have you read it?" ”
Wait, the ugly girl's father and mother don't seem to know how to read.
Aunt Hong squinted her eyes: "Have you ever read it, you don't know it yourself?" If you haven't read it, how can you make it out? ”
The ugly girl lowered her head and said in a flat tone: "That's because there is a private school next to my house, and I went there to eavesdrop on the class when I had nothing to do. ”
Hearing this, Aunt Hong showed a look of sudden realization, and then murmured: "Yes, how could you have read a book." ”
After a pause, Aunt Hong stood up: "Since Concubine Ning has come to invite, I naturally want to go over, let's go." ”
Gu Nuannuan followed Aunt Hong and walked out.
Peony wanted to say something, but was stopped by the maid next to her with a look.
Peony was reluctant, bit her lip, followed behind the two, and walked towards Concubine Ningfang's courtyard.
At this time, in the house, except for Aunt Bai, all the aunts came.
Wang Jianing sat on the top seat and drank tea, and when she saw the familiar figure, she nodded at the cuckoo.
When Du Juan saw Aunt Hong's figure appear, she said, "Aunt Hong, Aunt Bai said that you wanted to harm her by drugging her in the name of giving her medicine, can you confess?" ”
Aunt Hong walked in slowly, blessed Concubine Ning, and then said: "No, Aunt Bai and I have no grudges in the past, what should I do to kill her?" ”
"What's more, Aunt Bai has been infected with a severe wind chill, and if she says something unpleasant, I'm afraid she will die in a short time, so why should I bother?"
"I just looked at her pitiful, so I gave her medicine a few times."
"It's just that I didn't expect her to hit a rake!" A look of anger appeared on Aunt Hong's face, vaguely mixed with grievances, "Concubine Niangniang, you must find out the truth and return my innocence!" ”
Concubine Ning glanced at the cuckoo, the cuckoo nodded, and continued: "However, the doctor has already found dried eggplants in the medicine you sent, but Aunt Bai can't eat dried eggplants, otherwise she will be out of breath!" ”
"Don't you know about this?"
Aunt Hong showed a look of astonishment: "How is this possible?" ”
After a pause, Aunt Hong lowered her head, thought slightly, and said slowly: "I gave this medicine to the ugly girl, ugly girl, did you accidentally put the dried eggplant in it!" ”
Gu Nuannuan walked out from behind Aunt Hong, lowered her head and said, "No." ”
Two simple words, no explanation.
Aunt Hong was choked up instantly, and glared at Gu Nuannuan: "Since you said no, then explain it well, this eggplant thing!" ”
Concubine Ning also put down the teacup at this time, and said slowly: "Yes, ugly girl, you tell the truth, if there is half a truth......
Everyone heard the threat inside clearly, and then looked at Gu Nuannuan, but saw that there was no fear on her face, and she still had a wooden look.
Gu Nuannuan said slowly: "This medicinal material was given to me by Aunt Hong, and when she asked me to boil the medicine, I went to boil the medicine, and I didn't add anything on the way." ”
"When the prince let me out, he told me that I will do whatever Aunt Hong asks me to do."
"As for the rest, let me not ask more."
"What's more, I don't understand pharmacology, I don't know what dried eggplant wet eggplant, anyway, the medicinal materials that Aunt Hong gave me, I boiled it like this, and if something went wrong, it has nothing to do with me, it must be the reason for the medicinal materials."
Aunt Hong frowned, looked at Gu Nuannuan's side face, and said angrily, "You mean, there is something wrong with this medicinal herb?" Are you suspicious of me? ”
Gu Nuannuan looked at Aunt Hong and said seriously: "I didn't suspect Aunt Hong, what I suspected was medicinal herbs." ”
"Huh." Concubine Ning laughed, "This medicinal herb was given to you by Aunt Hong, don't you suspect that the medicinal herb is suspicious of Aunt Hong?" ”
"However, the medicinal herbs were caught by the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, maybe he caught the wrong one?" Gu Nuannuan tilted her head and said with some doubts, "So, if there is a problem with the medicinal materials, how can you only blame Aunt Hong?" ”
Everyone was stunned.
The housekeeper didn't speak, and when he heard this, he whispered: "The ugly girl has a point, Concubine Niangniang, it's better to let someone go to the pharmacy and ask." ”
"Actually, I don't think it's possible for the shopkeeper of the pharmacy to catch the wrong thing, after all, people have been catching the medicine for several years." Gu Nuannuan said again.
The housekeeper was silent, looked at the ugly girl and glanced at Concubine Ning again: "Then what do you mean?" ”
"Maybe when I'm boiling the medicine, someone will touch my medicine."
Gu Nuannuan's words made Aunt Hong's eyes light up, the rising anger disappeared, and a shallow smile appeared on her face: "Yes, if it is really a problem with the medicinal materials, why is there no problem the first few times?" ”
"Ugly girl, you have a good talk with Concubine Ning, what is wrong when you boil the medicine this time?"
Concubine Ning frowned, and quietly exchanged a look with the cuckoo.
Gu Nuannuan was silent.
Seeing this, Aunt Hong frowned: "Ugly girl, just say, don't be afraid, what's the matter, I'm still here!" ”
Concubine Ning smiled: "I'm afraid it's nothing unusual!" ”
The cuckoo couldn't help but show a smug look, and glanced appreciatively at the peony not far away.
"Well, since there is nothing unusual, then there is no problem, it seems that so far, Aunt Hong is the most suspicious!"
Saying that, Concubine Ning looked at Aunt Hong: "Aunt Hong, what do you say?" ”
Aunt Hong's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, anger appeared in her heart, and her tone was very bad: "Ugly girl, why don't you speak?" ”
"Say what?" Gu Nuannuan raised her head and looked at Aunt Hong in confusion.
Aunt Hong was choked instantly: "You! When you boil medicine, there is nothing unusual? ”
Gu Nuannuan pursed her lips.
Concubine Ning chuckled twice: "I said Aunt Hong, do you want to force the ugly girl to tell you a two, three, four?" Looking at the ugly girl's appearance, you know that there is nothing unusual. ”
"I'm just weird." The ugly girl opened her mouth, her tone full of doubt.
The butler narrowed his eyes and asked, "Ugly girl, what do you think is strange?" ”
Gu Nuannuan looked at the housekeeper and said seriously: "It's that little maid who obviously lit a fire in the kitchen, why did she suddenly become Concubine Ning's maid." ”
Gu Nuannuan stretched out her hand and pointed to the little maid in the corner.
Everyone looked at Gu Nuannuan's hand, and sure enough, they saw a little maid with her head down.
A deep color crossed the butler's eyes: "Do you know her?" ”
"I don't know, but she's a nice person." Gu Nuannuan said seriously.
The housekeeper glanced at Gu Nuannuan strangely, and asked suspiciously, "Since you don't know her, why do you think she is a good person?" ”
Gu Nuannuan thought for a while, and then said slowly: "When I boiled the medicine today, it was that little maid who kept walking around in front of me, asking me if I had anything to help, and I naturally said no, but she was very enthusiastic about helping me make medicine......"
"Then she told me that the fat girl came to me and told me to go, and she helped me look at the medicine."
Hearing this, Aunt Hong breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Concubine Ning proudly.
Concubine Ning's face sank, and the cuckoo on the side glared at the peony fiercely.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Gu Nuannuan showed a simple smile, looked at the housekeeper and said, "Butler, look, she is so kind to help me, she is a kind person!" ”
