"None of these things mean that Aunt Zhu and Grandma Zhu are the murderers. It can only be said that Aunt Zhu is a poor person, and there is a sad story. Chu Yuqin said. Even if Ming Xue was poisoned, and Aunt Zhu's grandmother was the daughter of a medicine merchant, it could not be proved that she would poison Ming Xue. ”

"You're right. We have only found something suspicious now, and we can't prove that Aunt Zhu is the murderer. But so far, Aunt Zhu and Grandma have been our breakthrough. ”

"Aunt Zhu does have many suspicious places. If she's really the murderer, all we can do is look it up from her. Until it is certain that she is the murderer. If she is not the murderer, I believe she can also return her innocence. Chu Yuqin said. Brother Zhu, do you want me to do something? ”

"Aunt Zhu and Grandma are gone. There seems to be no other way than to ask you for help. Zhu Han said: "I want to enter Aunt Zhu's room to investigate." ”

"I didn't go over and talk to her that day, and she sent me away lukewarmly, and then kicked me out. It wasn't easy to get into her room. Chu Yuqin said.

"So, we need to do something." Zhu Han shook his fan and looked at Ling Shengyi. "There should be a way for the prince, right?"

Ling Shengyi looked at Chu Yuqin next to him: "You don't want Aunt Zhu and Grandma to be the murderer?" ”

"She's a poor person, too. I've always sympathized with the weak and didn't want to embarrass others. She's had such a hard time in her life, and I certainly don't want her to do such a stupid thing. Chu Yuqin said. If it was because Mingxue betrayed her, she could have ignored Mingxue and could have sold Mingxue in the first place. If she thinks that the punishment for selling is too small, she can sell Mingxue wherever she wants, and it is not difficult for her to live rather than die. You can't do such and such things to dig your own grave. ”

"What if it's because Mingxue did something bad for her later?" Ling Shengyi said: "The combination of new hatred and old hatred will inevitably make her do stupid things." ”

"We're just guessing right now. How is the truth, I only believe in the evidence. If it was really Aunt Zhu's grandmother, I wouldn't speak for her. Chu Yuqin said.

"Zhu Hou wants to go in to investigate, then we will cooperate with him and find a way to let him in." Ling Shengyi said: "You get ready first, and then hurry up and act." ”

"Okay. Then I'll wait for your news. Zhu Han stood up. By the way, touch up your makeup before you go out. It's a bit of a flower! ”

The last sentence was said to Ling Shengyi.

After speaking, Zhu Han went out.

Chu Yuqin looked back at Ling Shengyi, and saw that the dirt on his neck had really appeared, and his eyes were full of chagrin.

"It seems that Madame's ferocity has been known by others." Ling Shengyi teased her.

"I think you did it on purpose." Chu Yuqin glared at him. "I took care of it just now. How is it possible to lose powder so quickly? ”

"Men's skin is no better than that of women, after all, it is rougher, not powdered." Ling Shengyi took her hand. "But Zhu Hou is not an outsider, he won't laugh at you."

"Even if you want to laugh, you can't change that fact. How are you going to help Brother Zhu? Chu Yuqin let him pull and snuggled in his arms.

"You'll find out later." Ling Shengyi said: "I will cooperate with Zhu Hou in this matter. You just have to wait at home for news. ”

Chu Yuqin returned to the room.

Qiu Yin and Zhu Xue sent her the account book.

Chu Yuqin looked at the mountains of ledgers, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are there so many?" ”

"This stack is a thousand-faced. This stack is from our Zhuangzi outside. This stack is the expenditure of the two pieces of silver in the house. Qiu Yin explained one by one.

"That's just part of it, there's more! Madame doesn't go out today, so it is better to deal with these things in the house. Although the Thousand Faces Pavilion is taken care of by Zheng Gongzi, the lady is the real owner of the Thousand Faces Pavilion, and she always has to know the business situation of her store. ”

"You girl is suitable to be a housekeeper." Chu Yuqin picked up an account book. "What are Chen Zhen'er and Zhao Yufei busy with?"

"Miss Chen has gone to King Zhao's Mansion. Miss Zhao...... The slave didn't pay attention. Zhu Xue said beside her. Do you want to send someone to take a look? ”

"Today, the prince is in the mansion, and Miss Zhao won't hear that the prince is in the mansion, so ......" Qiu Yin asked, "Why don't you send someone to ask?" ”

"There's no need." Chu Yuqin pointed to the inkstone in front of him. "Didn't you show me the ledger? Polished the ink. ”

Autumn grinding ink.

Zhu Xue walked over and muttered a few words to Qiu Yin in a low voice.

"Madame said leave her alone." Qiu Yin heard Zhu Xue say this, and said, "Be careful, Mrs. is not happy. ”

"Madame is here to read the account book, and there is no need for two people to serve her. I'll go check it out. Madame doesn't care, we have to take care of Madame! Zhu Xue said.

"Nacheng, you will come back after inquiring about the news." Qiu Yin listened to Zhu Xue's words and felt that it made sense.

Not long after Zhu Xue left, the third aunt walked in from outside: "Mrs. Shizi, there is a poisonous snake in our house." That's not good! ”

Chu Yuqin put down his pen and looked at the third aunt: "Poisonous snake? ”

"Yes! A poisonous snake appeared just now, which scared a little girl unconscious. Now the whole house is looking for snakes. The third aunt said: "Although the prince is sending people to catch snakes, I always feel terrible, so I still come to you to take refuge." You're the safest place to be. Presumably, the prince will stare at this place impenetrable, not to mention poisonous snakes, and even flies can't fly in. ”

"Qiu Yin, you go and ask what's going on? Where did the viper come from? Chu Yuqin instructed Qiu Yin.

Qiu Yin blessed the blessed body: "Yes." ”

"It's strange to say. How can there be poisonous snakes in our house? And there are no snakes. The third aunt said, "I'm most afraid of snakes." Stay here and hide from you. ”

"Snakes are everywhere, I'm afraid they crawled in by themselves!" Chu Yuqin suddenly thought of what Ling Shengyi had said.

Could it be that he set up this viper?

If there is a poisonous snake in the Ling Guo Mansion, it will definitely catch the snake everywhere. And Aunt Zhu's grandmother will also send someone to check it. It's impossible for Aunt Zhu and Grandma to not let his people in.

Thinking like this, she didn't care so much.

"You have a lot of ledgers here. I usually feel tired of reading a book, how can you stand it when you read so many account books? The third aunt looked at the ledger on her desk and sighed.

"Get used to it. After all, he was born in business, and this account book is just a small meaning. Chu Yuqin closed the ledger and stood up and walked towards the third aunt. Auntie, how long have you been in the house? ”

"Seven or eight years." The third aunt smiled bitterly. "I was a little girl, not much older than you. Now the old people are yellow, and they are alone in the backyard. ”
