Chapter 58: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
"Shouda?"
Xia Chutao remembered the thin figure who gave her white fungus lotus seed soup that day, looked at Qiaoyun, and then asked,
"What's wrong with Shouta?"
"Because Shouda is a newcomer, he has always arranged to clean in the outer courtyard. There was a kitchen in the courtyard and a place he had never been able to enter. ”
"It's just that Sanshui, who was working in the kitchen that day, was sick, and at that time, I was really anxious for your medicine, so Bizhu immediately arranged for Shoutian to go."
"This is how it should be? What if I delay my mother's medicine? ”
Bizhu said this very unconvinced, muttering in her mouth, looking like she still wanted to argue for Shoutian.
But what he didn't expect was that he was directly glared back by Qiaoyun coldly, and Xia Chutao saw that his two maids were incompatible in front of him, and immediately stopped him.
"Bizhu, don't talk yet, let Qiaoyun finish talking first."
"Oh......"
Bizhu lowered her head a little aggrieved, but Xia Chutao had already said so, and she couldn't help it.
"Originally, it was good to just let Shoutian go for a day, after all, Sanshui's illness was also cured later. But since then, Shouda has often run to the kitchen, saying that it is to help with chores or something......"
When Qiao Yun said this, his eyes flickered, and finally he seemed to have determined something.
"If it's an anomaly, then only Shouda is the most abnormal. There's no reason why he often runs to the kitchenette, and he's always rushing to do things like washing dishes. ”
Hearing Qiaoyun's tone, she felt that there was something wrong with Shoutian, Bizhu couldn't be angry, she opened her mouth again under the pressure of Xia Chutao, and couldn't help but glance at Qiaoyun.
"That's because Shouda's brother often bullied him, and he couldn't work well outside, so he went to the small kitchen. Why do you think he's gone so far? He was not even left with a way to live. ”
Qiaoyun didn't move, and didn't even look at Bizhu.
"Shoutian is a poor person, and I don't know how grateful I am to the little lady in private, how can you say these words?"
"Heh, you don't have brains, do you?"
When Qiaoyun heard Bizhu say this about herself, she was naturally unhappy in her heart, and she couldn't help but sneer at Qiaoyun,
"It's just a little whiter, and I really think it's a strange thing when I hand it over to you. If something happens to the little lady, the lives of the two of you can't be compensated together. ”
Bi Zhu couldn't get angry, her eyes widened all of a sudden, she looked at Qiaoyun in front of her, raised her hand and pointed at Qiaoyun's nose.
"Why are you so ugly? What nonsense are you talking about? What is a white and pure little life? ”
"Isn't it a white little life? Some of your private things, I really see them. ”
"You talk nonsense!"
Bizhu was so angry that she barely jumped up and down on the spot.
Although Bizhu defended this, she was already blushing in a hurry, so she knew what it was like at a glance.
"Okay, okay, don't fight anymore."
Xia Chutao originally felt that this matter gave her a headache, but now the two maids were chattering in front of her, which made her feel that her head was big.
When the two of them heard Xia Chutao say this, they instantly fell silent.
"I can't say anything until this thing is figured out."
Xia Chutao glanced at Qiaoyun and said,
"Qiaoyun, don't make a noise, go and bring me all the bottles and jars that usually give me decoction and medicine."
Qiaoyun immediately understood and nodded,
"Yes."
Qiaoyun didn't pay attention to Bizhu's gaze at all, even if Bizhu beside her had been staring at her viciously when she stood up, she didn't see it.
Soon, Qiaoyun brought the things that he usually boiled for Xia Chu Tao, and placed them in front of Xia Chu Tao one by one.
Watching Xia Chutao look back and forth with these things, Qiao Yun couldn't help but ask,
"Little lady, is there anything wrong with these appliances?"
Xia Chutao almost turned the utensils in his hand back and forth, searching back and forth for abnormal places, but he didn't find anything at all.
"Hiss......"
Xia Chutao pondered and put these things back on the table, and then looked at Qiao Yundao,
"It's too obvious to say that if these things are continuously superimposed day by day, then it is too obvious if they are poisoned every day. So I wondered how they usually unknowingly put poison into my medicine and food? ”
Qiao Yun's face sank, and he felt that Xia Chutao's idea was not unreasonable.
"That's why the little lady started with these utensils?"
Qiaoyun also seemed to understand Xia Chutao's thoughts, and she followed Xia Chutao, picking up these objects one by one and inspecting them.
Suddenly, Qiaoyun's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something, and his tone was a little excited.
"Little lady, the maid seems to understand."
Qiao Yun was holding a celadon pot in his hand, if Xia Chutao remembered correctly, this was still a set of porcelain that Fu Rin had given him before, but he had never seen it since he put it in the kitchen.
"This celadon was cleaned up by the maid for the little lady before, if the maid is not mistaken, this set of porcelain has been used for a while, but the color inside the lid is still very new."
"The maid remembers that the color was not like this when she cleaned up before, doesn't the little lady think it's very strange?"
Saying that, Qiaoyun picked up the celadon lid, and Xia Chutao looked at it, and sure enough, the color inside the porcelain lid did deviate from the overall color.
In other words, it is very likely that this porcelain was tampered with.
Qiao Yun said, and carefully scraped his nails on the lid, and scraped off a layer of powder that was not easy to detect last time.
Where the powder falls off, the color is the same as in other places.
Seeing this, Xia Chutao's heart was clear, and he probably knew what was going on.
If it's such a petty theft, you won't notice it if you don't look closely inside.
It can be seen that the people who do their hands and feet are indeed ill-intentioned......
"That's how it should be."
Xia Chutao nodded, still feeling that Qiaoyun was delicate, so it could be found.
Thinking about it, the eyes of the head fell on a bookcase of his own not far away,
If she remembered correctly, in addition to this set of celadon there was also a set of purple glaze.
At that time, she preferred the purple glaze, so she released the celadon.
Now it seems that it can come in handy.
"Bizhu, you go and take out my set of purple glaze."
After hearing this, Bizhu went straight to the bookcase and took out the set of purple glaze, and she placed it on the table, I don't know why.
"What did the little lady do with this set of purple glaze?"
"If you say you're stupid, you still don't believe it, little lady, this is called luring the snake out of the hole."
Qiaoyun on the side really couldn't see Bizhu so dumbfounded, and said this in a cold voice next door.
Bizhu looked at Qiao Yun angrily, she knew that Qiao Yun had always been very clever, and she also liked Xia Chu Tao.
But since Qiaoyun entered the inner courtyard from the outer courtyard, Qiaoyun has been sneering in her ear from time to time, which really makes Bizhu feel very uncomfortable.
She is indeed not as smart as Qiaoyun, but everyone is the one who serves Xia Chutao, why is she qualified to be so bitter to her.
Now in comparison, Bizhu really thinks that the previous Cuiyan is really good.
"Why are you so ugly? I really think you're a dog who can't spit ivory out of his mouth. ”
Bizhu said as she bared her teeth and grinned, looking very hateful.
But Qiaoyun didn't pay attention to Bizhu after speaking, including the usual one, and said coldly sarcasticly, and continued to remain silent after speaking. No matter what Bizhu said and how much trouble she made, she ignored it.
It's just a matter of being angry!
"Alright, alright...... You two give me a little peace. ”
At the beginning of summer, the peach was speechless.
Seeing his two maids so noisy, Xia Chutao really felt that her head was going to be big.
"Little lady...... Qiaoyun is really too bullying like this. ”
Bizhu pouted, how much grievances were enough, as if she wanted to seek justice from Xia Chutao.
"You too, Qiaoyun has always had her own reasons for speaking, and this matter is not made up in the analysis."
Xia Chutao patiently persuaded and tried to make the aggrieved bun in front of her quieter.
"You two will put away this set of celadon first, and then replace this purple glaze."
Xia Chutao is confident in her heart, and she feels that this approach will definitely be able to lure out the people behind her.
"Isn't it poisoned? If the previous thing has been replaced, then he will definitely not be able to hold back and come out again to poison it. ”
"The little lady is wise."
Qiao Yun naturally knew what Xia Chutao meant, and nodded. And at this time, Bizhu, who had been listening to it on the side, finally reacted to what was going on.
"It turns out that the little lady did this to lure that person out! Slave got it! ”
“…… Forehead. ”
Qiaoyun glanced at Bizhu helplessly, and found that Bizhu's reaction was really not ordinarily slow.
But since Xia Chutao had already said this before, she could only ignore it and picked up the set of purple glaze on the table.
"Son, put this set of purple glaze into the small kitchen."
"Hmm."
Xia Chutao nodded,
"This matter must be foolproof, so as not to be seen by others. Don't startle the snake. ”
Bizhu and Qiaoyun glanced at each other, knowing that success or failure in finding out the inner ghost was here.
"If that person has the intention to continue poisoning, then he will definitely be revealed."
Xia Chutao touched his chin, already thinking about who was doing it next to him, so restless.
"So you two must pay attention to the movements of the people below in the past two days, and tell me as soon as there is any situation."
"Yes."
