Chapter Ninety-Two: Defection
Lin took out a small handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, her ability to cry has already been cultivated, and before she finished speaking, the crying trills between the words were moving.
"Mrs. Wei and Xiaonu may have met for the first time, but it shouldn't be the first time they have met with this Doctor Yan from Qishan County......" Su Jiudong invited Doctor Yan to his side and confronted the Lin family face to face.
"Didn't the two of you have a secret meeting in the Xiangtian Teahouse almost a month ago? I'm still discussing how to get rid of my son, and I'm going to avenge your two younger brothers. β
"Doctor Su is really good at laughing, anyone who is familiar with the concubine knows that the concubine's favorite teahouse is Xiangtian Teahouse. It's not surprising that it will appear in a teahouse. β
ββ¦β¦ But you can't slander the innocence of the concubine just because the concubine often goes to that teahouse, and even say that the concubine is related to this... This Doctor Yan met separately in the Xiangtian Teahouse for a private meeting, if the adults in the family heard it and mistakenly believed the rumors, how should the concubine deal with herself? . β
Lin defended himself unhurriedly, his eyes full of strangeness and vigilance towards Dr. Yan.
The Lin family used to be arrogant and domineering in the teahouse, but now he is weak and pitiful in the court, and Dr. Yan was frightened by the special ability of the Lin family to change the face of a woman.
"Mrs. Wei, you forgot, that day it was in the orchid guest room with a blue gauze cabinet that you asked me to meet and say that there was something important to discuss."
"Doctor Yan, instead of talking nonsense with Mrs. Wei in the court, it is better to directly tell the truth about her using your son to threaten you and let you go to Han Su Ting'an."
Wen Yiheng hit the nail on the head and pointed out the key theme, avoiding the unnutritious haha between Lin and Dr. Yan.
"Heng Gongzi is right. When they first met that day, this lady claimed to be the wife of Lord Fa Cao Wei of Lin'an Mansion, saying that she could persuade Lord Fa Cao to save Lao Yu's eldest son in exchange for it, provided that Lao Yu also had to do her a favor. β
Listening to what Dr. Yan said sincerely, Lord Yan skipped the inquiry of the Lin family for the time being, and asked Dr. Yan directly, "What does this have to do with your eldest son?" And what did she ask you to do her a favor? β
"The eldest son of the old family, who is not angry, was locked in the government mansion by the officials who inspected the streets a few days ago because he gathered people to gamble in the street market. Someone sent a letter to Lao Yu, saying that his son was arrested and wanted to see Lao Yu's father in prison. β
"The letter said that I would let Lao Yu go to the Tianxiang Teahouse in Hangzhou City to meet, saying that there was a way to help Lao Yu release my son from prison. This is the letter that called the old man to Hangzhou City. β
Dr. Yan took out the paper that he had hidden close to him from his arms, smoothed the slight creases on it, and handed it to Lord Yang for inspection.
When Lin saw Dr. Yan handing over the note to Lord Yang, he was not in a hurry, but arranged his group and hairstyle quite leisurely, striving to maintain a dignified and calm beautiful form.
"When the old man saw the letter, he thought it was a letter sent by the official of the county government, and was wondering why he didn't meet at the county office, but had a secret meeting in the teahouse, when Mrs. Wei appeared."
Doctor Yan replied in the hall this time, much calmer, no longer like the nervous state when he was shaking with a shovel and spitting out words clearly when he first went to the court.
"As soon as this lady met, she claimed to be the wife of Lord Fa Cao, and it was very easy for the county government to release people, as long as she said a few words to Lord Fa Cao, the county government could release people."
"In exchange for her release of her son for Lao Yu, she asked Lao Yu to prescribe the correct prescription for Su Ting'an, the little doll who fell into the water, and secretly grabbed the wrong medicinal materials for the little doll to take, causing the condition to become more and more serious, and she wanted to kill him unknowingly."
"This Dr. Yan thinks he is speaking clearly, but in fact he is full of loopholes." Lin pulled a small lock of hair behind his ear and said righteously.
"You said that a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, the concubine and you secretly met in the Tianxiang Teahouse, but in those days, the concubine has been resting with her close friends in her own hot spring village, and she has never seen Dr. Yan."
Lin stood up straight and replied, his tone was sincere and serious, so that people could not see a little stage fright on her, and she was very justified.
"If Lord Yang still doesn't believe it, there are sisters from the mansion next door who came to chat with each other in the hot spring manor, so you can call the sister of the concubine to confront the court to prove the innocence of the concubine."
"Mrs. Wei said very righteous words, but you yourself said that it was your close friend, of course she will stand in your team and help you speak for you."
Su Jiudong has seen a lot of two-faced people like the Lin family, and the dirty thoughts hidden under the hypocritical face are really disgusting and disgusting.
"What the concubine says is the truth, whether it is a close friend in the boudoir or an ordinary person with an average relationship, she will naturally speak for the concubine, proving that what the concubine is telling the truth."
Lin secretly glanced at Wen Yiheng, who was watching from the side, quickly withdrew his gaze, and turned back to look at Su Jiudong, their eyes met in the air, echoing each other's scorching atmosphere. dm
"Mrs. Wei, are you sure you are telling the truth? Even if I find a random shop guy in the Tianxiang Teahouse, it can prove that you haven't been to the Tianxiang Teahouse in the past few days, let alone met with Dr. Yan in the orchid room on the second floor? β
Su Jiudong finally brought the topic to her side, and got Lord Yan's consent to spread the word of one more righteous person, and asked the official to go to the Tianxiang Teahouse, and invited the shop guy who ran the hall on the first floor and the cook who was in charge of the kitchen in the kitchen.
Before the shop guy and the chef in charge could reply, Li Shi took the lead and said, "Isn't this the guy Ah Ye and Chef Zhang in Tianxiang Teahouse?" I haven't been to your teahouse for a while, and I'll take Mi You to your place again when I have time in the future~"
The shopkeepers Ah Ye and Chef Zhang listened to Lin's words, showed a flattering smile to her, and praised her slightly.
Su Jiudong interrupted the greetings between the three of them and went straight to the point: "Ah Ye, on the first day of the fifth month, have you ever seen Mrs. Wei patronize your Tianxiang Teahouse?" Did she meet this Dr. Yan in front of you in the private room on the second floor? β
Su Jiudong deliberately advised: "Ah Ye, about this question, how did you answer me before, and now I will answer it word for word to Lord Yan." β
"Ahem......" Lin suddenly cleared his throat at this moment and secretly aimed at Ah Ye.
Ah Ye sorted out his thoughts and said slowly, "Okay." Back to Lord Yan, Mrs. Wei did not come to our teahouse on the first day of the fifth month, let alone meet with any irrelevant people in the private room on the second floor. β
"Aye?" Chef Zhang was quite surprised by Ah Ye's answer, looked at Ah Ye who was facing Lord Yan in surprise, and asked in a voice: "Ah Ye, are you mistaken?" On the first day of the fifth lunar month, Mrs. Wei obviously came to our teahouse, didn't you tell me to make Mrs. Wei's favorite oolong tea lychee cake that day? β
Oolong tea lychee cake is a dessert with the ultimate sweetness among the light desserts in Tianxiang Tea House. This dessert was learned by a chef in the Western Regions when the owner of Tianxiang Teahouse stayed in the capital.
Use oolong tea to match fruits full of water and sugar such as pears and lychees, so that the tea aroma of oolong, which is not too strong, to reflect the sweetness of pears and lychees.
Under the fusion, the dessert not only has the richness of oolong tea, but does not affect the taste of the fruit.
The owner of the teahouse loved this sweetness very much, so after returning to the teahouse, he taught Chef Zhang how to make this dessert.
But this kind of dessert is expensive, but it is a relatively sweet taste, in the current trend of light taste, usually come to drink tea guests will not order this dessert, only usually love to eat sweet, Lin's, is one of the few loyal supporters of this dessert.
Every time Mrs. Wei visits Tianxiang Tea House, she must order this oolong tea lychee cake and drink it with sweet and sweet tea to enjoy a pleasant afternoon.
"That afternoon, I received an order in the kitchen to make oolong tea and lychee cake, and the little one knew that it must be Mrs. Wei who came, because of this dessert, she was the only one who could order it among the regular customers in the entire tea house." Chef Zhang's categorical assertion.
"So the villain is sure that on the first day of the fifth month, Mrs. Wei did come to our teahouse. As for why Ah Ye suddenly lied, the villain also felt very strange. β
"Chef Zhang, that oolong tea lychee cake is indeed a dessert that concubines often order, but you can't just think that this dessert is ordered by concubines just because of this dessert on an order..."
Lin's tone was no longer gentle and weak just now, but with a little toughness and straightforwardness.
"On the first day of the fifth month, the concubine did not patronize the Gui Teahouse, so it should be ordered by a guest who wants to try it, or a new guest who orders it, in short, it will not be a concubine."
Lin Shi turned to look at Su Jiudong, his eyes flashed with a little annoyance, and his tone became serious when he spoke again: "Doctor Su, what are you calling Ah Ye and Chef Zhang from the Tianxiang Teahouse to the county office?" β
"Do you want to use an order that ordered oolong tea lychee cake on the first day of the fifth month to prove that the concubine went to Tianxiang Teahouse that day and met with Dr. Yan to murder others?"
Chef Zhang was a little annoyed when he saw that Mrs. Wei had been refusing to admit it: "The reason why I can be sure that it is the oolong tea lychee cake ordered by Mrs. Wei is because at that time, Ah Ye walked into the kitchen to hand over the order to the little one and said, 'The old look, oolong tea lychee cake'." β
"Only every time Mrs. Wei came, the guy in the store would mention the 'old rules', so that the kitchen knew that it was a dessert to be made according to Mrs. Wei's taste."
Mrs. Wei continued to argue, this time finally breaking through the common gentle voice, raising her voice, and said loudly: "But this dessert is written on the menu of Tianxiang Teahouse, in addition to the concubine's order, other guests also have the possibility of this dessert." β
"Doctor Su and Chef Zhang, you are in the same group, right? With just a small piece of paper, it would be too naΓ―ve and arbitrary to want the concubine to bear the trumped-up charge.
If the concubine doesn't stand up firmly and fight for herself, I'm afraid that she will be eaten alive by Dr. Su! β
