Lan'er swallowed her saliva, clenched her fists, and stammered in reply, "Slave...... The slave doesn't know. ”

"I don't know!" The eldest lady slapped the table next to her with her left hand and scolded, "Are you planning not to tell the truth?" Come! ”

"No, no, no!" Lan'er hurriedly defended: "The slave didn't lie, she really didn't know. At that time, after the young master fainted, everyone was in a mess, and there was no time to care about those, and the slave maid also knew that the tofu brain had been touched by someone after Zhang's mother thoroughly investigated the cause of the young master's poisoning. As he spoke, tears kept falling down, and he choked up and said: "The young master is benevolent, and today he has promoted the slave and maid to a first-class maid, how can the slave and maid poison the young master?" Please also take a look! After speaking, he pressed his smooth forehead against the cold blue bricks, and his body curled up like a shrimp.

At this time, the spearhead of the matter was pointed at Xie's mother again.

Mother Xie was in a cold sweat, and she couldn't stop shouting the word "wronged".

The eldest lady took the opportunity to make a decision and said, "You have also seen that Mother Xie is the most suspicious. ”

The second wife watched coldly, quietly watching the development of things.

The corners of the third wife's mouth twitched slightly, but in the end she didn't say a word, after all, she was soft-spoken, no matter how much she said, she couldn't get rid of the suspicion for Xie's mother, but it would cause herself unnecessary trouble and drag down the family, so it was better to wait and see what happened.

The fourth wife doesn't care, just watch a play, and the eldest aunt is just like her.

As for the second aunt, the third aunt, and the fifth aunt, they had a little calculation in their hearts, looking at the back of Xie's mother, there was a different kind of heat.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the eldest lady said to Zhang's mother: "Send Xie's mother to the government, and check again to see if there are any other accomplices." Once it is found out, no matter who it is, the rod will be punished with twenty boards, and then sent to the government! ”

The yamen is generally a place where there is no entry and exit, and in addition, twenty boards are put on first, and then sent to the official, which indicates that this person has no way to live.

Xie's mother knew that she was done playing, and she also brought her husband and children with her, as well as others.

She knew the style of the eldest lady, and according to her personality, she would definitely take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, pull her husband down from the position of chief manager, and cut off the wings of their husband and wife, and give them no chance to turn over.

What should she do?

Biting to the end, just don't admit it?

But the eldest lady has already spoken, and even if she bites to death, she can't change the fact that she went to the yamen.

So, admit it?

Mother Xie felt that her whole body was trembling, and she was scared and helpless like never before.

At such times, people will try their best to grasp any life-saving straw around them.

Therefore, her body writhed vigorously to get rid of the coarse mother-in-law's clamps, reached out and grabbed the skirt of the third aunt closest to her, and said urgently: "Third aunt, please save the old slave, the old slave has not harmed the young master, no!" Please save me! ”

The third aunt mercilessly pulled back the corner of her skirt from Mother Xie's hand, and said lightly: "Save you?" How can I save it? How do I know if you did it. ”

The second aunt also said: "The third sister is right, how can people who are not involved in this matter be clear?" Alas, the young master is really guilty of sinning, and he is quite unlucky, and the people around him are not worried. As he spoke, as if he had said it unintentionally, he said: "However, speaking of which, this matter is really strange, Mother Xie is the young master's nurse, and her husband is the chief manager of the Yu Mansion, why do you want to poison the young master?" It's really puzzling. After saying this, he suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes wide, and exclaimed: "Maybe it wasn't Mother Xie who did it, someone pretended to use Mother Xie's hand to get rid of the young master!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent, and everyone showed a clear look.

Mother Xie seemed to see the light, thinking that it was a bright flower, and she was busy and said: "The slave is wronged, someone must have taken this opportunity to frame her!" As he spoke, he pounced on Lan'er, who was kneeling beside him, and continued with a brutal pull: "This little slut must not be able to escape the involvement, otherwise why did I make tofu brain, and she also made one?" It's obviously an impure motive, take this opportunity to frame me, it must be her share of tofu brain poison! ”

At this moment, the people in the hall whispered to each other, which suddenly made the atmosphere noisy.

The eldest lady had a headache when she heard this, and scolded the rough envoy who restrained Xie's mother, and said, "You still don't want to send her to the government?" Didn't you eat? ”

The rough mother-in-law didn't dare not listen, and originally only used five points of strength, but now she uses all of it, separating Mother Xie from Lan'er little by little.

If Xie's mother is sent to the official like this, it means that the curtain will be closed before the play starts.

The second aunt didn't want things to be like this, so she hurriedly stopped and said, "Madam, this thing looks strange, why is it not a good retrial?" This is a matter of our Yu family's heirs, presumably the eldest master doesn't want to understand it so hastily, the fourth aunt will be ripe in a few months. ”

Seeing that the second aunt said this, the third aunt also interjected and said a few words, and also focused on the major issue of the heir.

Auntie, in the eyes of the big family, is very important and has no social status.

Therefore, no matter what they said, the eldest lady made up her mind that Mother Xie had to be sent to the official, and her family would also go to the government to torture her.

But at this time, the second wife, who had never expressed her opinion, said: "Sister-in-law, in my opinion, the ugliness of the family is not publicized, and it is better to consider Mother Xie's affairs in the long run." Now this matter is still related to the heirs of our Yu Mansion, and they must also know it. ”

The bigger the matter gets, the more true the truth will become.

This is not what the eldest lady wants, she just needs Mother Xie to bear this charge.

But now it seems that the truth of the matter is not something she can control alone.

As a result, the eldest lady's heart was very annoyed by the troubles of the second aunt and others.

Mother Xie breathed a long sigh of relief, and was very glad that she was lucky to grasp the right straw.

Just as she was secretly breathing, a little maid came in and reported, "Chief Manager Xie is waiting outside the house, and he is dressed in a single coat and holding thorns in his hands."

Hearing this, the people in the house couldn't help but look up at the outside.

The eldest lady pondered for a while, and asked the little maid to bring in Chief Manager Xie.

Mr. Xie is almost an old man, but he is in good health, and he looks like he is only in his sixties.

It's just that, maybe because he learned about Xie's mother, he was so worried, his originally tough body looked very weak, and he walked staggeringly, as if he was about to fall, and his eyes no longer existed, only gloomy.
